Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner. Contrary. Okay, two massive stories, and in
a way they're both intertwined. One, we are slowly marching
now towards potentially a regime change war with Venezuela. Trump
met with his national security team last night and it

(00:22):
now appears, it appears no final decision has yet been made,
but it appears we are on the verge of a
war with Venezuela. And I will get to that, but
before we get to that, the media, now the deep state.
Trump's enemies within the Pentagon now believe they have the scalp,

(00:45):
the scalp of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and so
here exactly now what is taking place. On Friday, the
Washington Post released a piece completely anonymously sourced as usual,
which was then followed up by This is CNN, and

(01:08):
of course CNN because all they use is anonymous sources.
Nobody has the guts or the courage to actually go
on the record and put their name behind anything. So
when you use anonymous sources, you can pretty much say
or make up anything you want. Well, they claimed in
those two reports, which was then picked up by the

(01:31):
entire anti Trump media, and then picked up by the
Democrats in Congress and now by many establishment Republicans as well,
that on September two, that Pete Hegseth ordered two strikes
on a narco terrorist boat smuggling drugs in the Caribbean

(01:53):
heading towards the United States. And according to the report,
there was a first initial missile strike that badly damaged
and incapacitated the boat. Allegedly there were eleven drug smugglers
ie narco terrorists on board the boat. Nine were killed,

(02:15):
but there were apparently two survivors who, according now to
the Post and CNN, were hanging on for dear life
in a boat now that was basically smashed to pieces.
There was then the order given for a second strike
to fully sink the boat and to finish off the

(02:40):
other two narco terrorists. And this was done on September two.
There was a lot of debate initially, is it even
a true story? Is it an accurate story? Are they
giving the complete comprehensive picture. Yesterday the White House came

(03:00):
out and laid it all out. According now to what
the White House revealed yesterday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
gave the order or the authorization to be more accurate
to the head of Special Operations Command, Admiral Frank. He

(03:21):
goes by Mitch Frank, Mitch Bradley for Commander Mitch Bradley,
Admiral Bradley to take out the boat by using as
many missile strikes as it takes. Bradley apparently then gave
the order to fire the first missile. When he saw

(03:44):
that the boat had not been sunk and that there
were still two remaining survivors, he ordered the second strike.
Hag Seth then went on social media and said, I
want to be crystal clear. I gave him the verbal
order to do what needed to be done. I authorized
the strike. Bradley was the one who oversaw and conducted

(04:08):
the strike and gave the actual order when to launch
the attack. But I stand behind Bradley one hundred percent.
He is a great American hero, a great military leader,
and on this decision and every other decision in terms

(04:28):
of taking out these boats that are smuggling drugs into
the United States, blowing them out of the water, he
says he stands by Admiral Bradley and every decision that
has been made up until now. So it appears that
heg Seth was the one who gave the verbal order

(04:51):
the authorization. Bradley was the one who gave the final
sign off. The strikes were launched, and it took two
stro instead of one strike to take out that one
boat on September two. Now there have been about a
dozen other strikes since September that have taken out about

(05:11):
eighty narco terrorists and as I said, about a dozen boats.
A lot of cocaine is coming through Venezuela and they've
been using this to try to get into the United States.
The land border with Mexico is now sealed. It is
very hard now for drug traffickers to get their product

(05:34):
into the United States through the border of Mexico. So
now they're trying to get drugs into our country using
boats drug smugglers. They've now taken the war against drugs
and against narco terrorism to the seas and it is
becoming very very effective. Drug interdiction is way up. Drugs

(05:57):
coming into the United States is now way down. Now
that's not the issue for the left, for the media,
and now for many of the deep staters against Trump.
The issue is whether Pete hag Seth by saying okay
or giving the green light or the approval for this
second strike, committed a so called war crime. And the

(06:22):
argument that they're making is, and this is the argument
the media is making. They're in an absolute frenzy. It
is now twenty four to seven media coverage. You now
even have some Republicans who are calling for hearings both
in the House and in the Senate. Is that, well,
what was the point of the second strike? The point

(06:43):
of the second strike was to take out two people
who already were you know, the boat had been basically incapacitated.
They were two survivors. There was no reason to take
them out. They say they should have sent in a
team and then either arrested them or taking him into custody.

(07:05):
So by ordering the second war, the second strike, what
they did was effectively violate the laws of war, the
laws of armed conflict, and commit a war crime by
killing two civilians. This is their argument. Who happened to
be involved in the smuggling of drugs? Listen now to

(07:28):
Senator Mark Kelly, part of the Seditious six. He is
one of the people now leading the charge saying this
is a war crime. Pete Hegseth now must resign. There
needs to be massive investigations, and the admiral as well

(07:49):
must be forced to resign. And President Trump, what did
he know and when did he know it? Listen now
to Senator Mark Kelly on CNN Roll Cut eight, Mike.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Based on what you what CNN is reporting, with the
Washington Post is reporting, do you believe if there was
a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that that constitutes
a war crime?

Speaker 3 (08:21):
It seems to if that, if that is true, if
what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns
about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a
line that they should never step over.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
We are not Russia, We're not a wreck.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
We hold ourselves to a very high standard of professionalism.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Right yeah, professionalism coming from you? Huh No, really, I
have to say this. I'm sorry, but this from a
guy who's ordering members or urging members of the military,
urging members of the military to five lawful orders from Trump,
openly fomenting sedition and insurrection, and you're going to talk

(09:06):
to me about professionalism. No, no, no, no, Listen. This guy
spent a lot of time in space, and I respect
the fact that he was an astronaut for our country.
But I swear to you I think he left his
brains up there in outer space. So this is the
question I have for everyone in the media, every crazed

(09:26):
moon bat, every Democrat, and now even these ridiculous establishment
Republicans who are now going to be holding an investigation
into this, calling for Pete Hegse's head. They want him
out and maybe even in the dock for committing these
supposedly ordering a war crime. Where does it say anywhere

(09:48):
in the laws of war, in the laws of armed
conflict that you can only shoot or hit a target once?
Can somebody please explain this to me? So where did
this somehow unwritten rule. I've never heard of this rule
in the history of war that suddenly So if we

(10:10):
have a group of terrorists that we're targeting, as an example,
and we launch one missile strike and it doesn't fully
take out the compound that they're in, or they realized
there are still a couple of survivors left, where does
it say, Aha, then they can run out and say,
you only got one strike, you can't strike again. We free,

(10:30):
we free, we free. Where does it say you only
get one shot to take out a group of terrorists.
Where does I'm sorry, where is that written in the
in the laws of the war and in the rules
of engagement or laws of war in the Pentagon. So
I look at this and I say to myself, well, no,

(10:52):
they had an order to obliterate the vote. Okay. Liberals
now think the media in particular, they have their Watergate
or whatever, now watergate. They've had so many watergates. I'm
not even gonna say two point zero. This is what
is it now? Eleven point zero. But they think now
they've got the Trump administration, They've got Hegseth dead to rights,

(11:14):
and they believe by extension, the president himself. What they
are now arguing is that on the this was, by
the way, the first attack of a series of attacks
on these drug boats smuggling drugs into the front through
the Caribbean from Venezuela, attempting to come into the United States.

(11:35):
That this was the first time they took out these
these drug smuggling boats. This was in September. Second and
it was a success, but it took two strikes. And
now the argument is that by ordering a second strike
after the first one had basically debilitated the boat, killed

(11:58):
nine of the eleven Marco terrorists the second strike, the
two that were survivors were murdered, that this was cold
blooded murdered, there was no need for a second strike,
and that now Pete Hegseth needs the answer for this.
They are now demanding hearings. Republicans are going along with

(12:19):
the hearings in the House. The Armed Services Committee is
going to be holding hearings, so will the Senate. Mississippi
Republican Senator Roger Wicker says he wants to call Admiral Bradley,
Mitch Bradley, who was the one that oversaw the operation
and gave the ultimate order for the second strike to

(12:41):
take place, that he must testify now under oath, and
Pete Hegseth, who now has come out and said he
verbally told Bradley, you have authorization from me directly, if
you feel the need for a second strike, launch that
second strike. And so they want to put now heg

(13:02):
Seth under oath, and they believe that they're going to
have heg Seth admitting to the second strike, which he
pretty much already has, and that they believe now that
they can get them on war crimes and force heg
Seth to resign and maybe even to face potential charges
and go to jail. The question then is can they

(13:23):
get Donald Trump? This is their ultimate goal. So they're
claiming that the second strike was not just immoral, it
was illegal, It was unconstitutional. In fact, it violated the
laws of war, international law, and even the laws of
war as laid out by the Pentagon. This is their argument.
Listen now to Caroline Levitt. She went yesterday and was

(13:49):
asked point blank where does the administration stand on the
second strike and on the roles of Admiral Bradley and
of course Secretary of Defense Beete Hegseth. Listen now to
Caroline Levitt. Roll cut eleven, Mike.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
With the initial order from Secretary Hegseth, everyone be killed
into bat for President Trump.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I
would reject that. The Secretary of War ever said that. However,
the President has made it quite clear that if Narco
terrorists again are trafficking illegal drugs towards the United States,
he has the authority to kill them. And that's what
this administration is doing.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
To me, yes, it's obvious he has every right to
take out these boats to blow every single one of
them out of the water. In fact, the Coast Guard,
the US Navy has been doing this for fifty sixty years, Like,
this is nothing new here. So of course the president
has the authority and by extension obviously a Secretary of Defense, Like,

(14:55):
what are we talking about now? Furthermore, Levitt then was pressed, well, again,
what about the second strike? Is it lawful?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Does it violate the laws of armed conflict and how
we conduct things the United States does in terms of
the Pentagon when we do launch strikes or when we
do engage in what's called kinetic military action. Listen to
Levitt's answer, roll cut twelve, Mike, So much of the.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Concern from the Democrats and Republicans is focused on the survivors.
Why won't the administration either confirm or deny or reveal
whether or not there were survivors after that initial first strike?
And what imminent threat would two survivors pose who were
clinging presumably to the wreckage of that vote.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Again, as I said, I think you guys are sort
of not listening fully to the statement I've provided. Admiral
Bradley worked well within his authority and the law directing
the engagement to ensure the vote was totally destroyed and
the threat to the narco terror to the United States
was eliminated. And for any further questions about his thinking,
I would defer you to the Department of four. I

(16:07):
obviously wasn't in the road.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay. So she's saying that the President acted within his
lawful authority, that Secretary Hegseth operated in his lawful authority,
and of course Admiral Bradley, who oversaw the strikes, uh,
clearly acted within his lawful authority. Basically, there's no there
there that this is another full democratic oaks. Okay, I like,

(16:32):
you know, Russia, Russia. I could go on and on.
So they're now trying to, you know, in other words,
there was no war crime. What are you people talking about.
You're making this up in a desperate attempt to bring
down Hegseth and by extension, the President. So Jackie Heinrich
Fox News goes after Caroline Levitt and in particular going

(16:57):
after Hegseth and Bradley, And the question she has is what,
by the way, many Rhinos now are pushing hard up
on Capitol Hill. It's not just the Democrats, because you see,
the dirty secret is they want to get rid of
Pete Hegseth. Listen now to Heinrich's question, Roll cut thirteen. Mike,

(17:19):
you said that the follow up strike was lawful.

Speaker 7 (17:23):
What law is it that allows no survivors?

Speaker 4 (17:27):
The strike conducted on September second was conducted in self
defense to protect Americans in vital United States interests. The
strike was conducted in international waters and in accordance with
the law of armed conflict.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Now what law I mean? She answered it. Well, don't
get me wrong, but this is how it had turned
it around on Jackie Heinrich and everybody else in the room,
the drive by media, as Rush called them, the drive bys.
What law says you can't do a follow up strike?
I'm sorry, what law are you referring to? That's sut Now,

(18:00):
what we can't so we can't bomb a target a
second time, or a third time, or a fourth time.
Pete Hegseth now in the crosshairs. The media now is
gunning for his head. The deep state is many Democrats,
many Republicans. They now say he was complicit in a
war crime that after the initial first strike on Venezuelan,

(18:23):
narco terrorist drug smugglers in which the boat was incapacitated
but not completely blown up. Of the eleven on board,
nine were killed, but allegedly there were two survivors. A
second strike was ordered, and by ordering that second strike,
it was cold blooded murder. Listen now to Rhode Island

(18:47):
Senator that blowhard Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat on MS now saying
this is very bad for the United States. We are
now on the wrong side of history. We are being
led by war criminals, President Trump, Secretary Hegseeth, and of

(19:10):
course the man who oversaw the operation, Admiral Frank Mitch
Bradley Roll cut fourteen. Mike, is it possible to commit
a war crime if there isn't a war? What do
we call it when there isn't a war?

Speaker 8 (19:28):
It's a common word, would be murder?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Is that what you see here?

Speaker 8 (19:32):
I don't know enough about the circumstances to make a
final legal determination, but for Peach's sake, you've got people
whose boat has been blown up. Whatever they were doing
has now ended in an explosion on the water, and
you now have two survivors in the water. Even when
you are at war, a decent nation goes and rescues

(19:56):
the survivors and then treats them as prisoners of war
in a war situation. In this case, I mean, you know,
to make a Hollywood reference when the bad guys are
machine gunning the survivors in the water, it's not Americans
in the movies.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's the bad guys.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
And we are on the wrong wrong side of this
if we're blowing up survivors in the water rather than
trying to send rescue.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean, this is, first of all, it's deranged. It's
the stuff of fantasy. It's it's it's almost really it's
political pornography. That's what this is. I mean, don't talk
to me about Hollywood movies. Hollywood has no idea what
war is really like, and they never have. Now, let

(20:44):
me just make some obvious points, and then I want
to go to the phone lines six one seven two, six, six,
sixty eight sixty eight is the number not to beat
a dead horse. But where is where is the law
of armed conflict that says you can only shoot a
tar get once by their definition? Now, then literally every

(21:06):
country in the history of the world that is engaged
in war is being has been run by war criminals.
How many times have we dropped bombs? I don't care.
You can go back to World War one, world War two,
take any war you want, I don't care. And they go, No,
the target wasn't completely destroyed. Drop another one, or we're

(21:29):
gonna target this compound full of terrorists. No, there's still
a few left. Fire another missile, Fire a third, even
fire a fourth. Do what you gotta do to take
them all out. Like what plan? I'm sorry, Like what
planet are these people talking about? I mean, what planet
are they living on? What are they talking about? Okay,
that's that's the most obvious. I mean, it's such an

(21:52):
obvious counter such an obvious counter argument, such an obvious rebuttal.
But then furthermore, this is, you know, so directing, as
if this was a pleasure boat that our military just
decided to blow out of the water for the hell
of it. These are trend Durragua terrorists. Trend or Arragua

(22:15):
has been designated by the United States as a foreign
terrorist organization. These were trender Aragua narco terrorists who were
smuggling cocaine. You can see the drugs in the boat.
You can see the terrorists in the boat. We know

(22:37):
where they were heading. They were heading towards Puerto Rico,
Puerto Rico in order to infiltrate our country so they
can poison and kill our people. And this is lost
in the entire context of this discussion. More Americans have

(22:59):
dawed from illicit drugs take your pick, fentanyl, cocaine, heroine, meth,
all that garbage that is being smuggled into our country.
More Americans have died from drugs than have died in
all of the wars that we fought combined. So let

(23:25):
me repeat this. Drugs coming into our country has killed
more Americans than all of the wars we have fought
in combined, combined. And we lost over four hundred thousand
just in World War Two alone, six hundred thousand in

(23:48):
the Civil War. Okay, so we're talking millions and millions
and millions and millions. That's how serious of a threat
drugs are to our nation. And we finally have a
president and we finally have a Secretary of Defense who
are willing to say, you know what, no enough, No,

(24:08):
We're not going to have our youth poisoned by this.
We're not gonna see hundreds of thousands of Americans die
from drugs and ods coming because of the garbage is
coming into our country. We're gonna stop it finally, once
and for all. We're gonna get serious, and heg Seth
on day one said, we are no longer going to

(24:31):
be a politically correct military. We're gonna untie the hands
of our warriors, and so as Trump said, as heg
Seth said, as everyone said, if you are a narco terrorist,
if you are a member of the drug cartels, if
you are someone that wants to pedal this poison trend

(24:52):
or Aragua into the United States, we will find you.
We will search for you, we will hunt you, and
we will destroy you, period full stop. And it's not
just that we're blowing the boats out and the drugs
are not coming in. Look at the deterrent. Everybody now
knows in the Western hemisphere don't even try to smuggle

(25:16):
drugs in because the Yanks aren't playing around this time.
They're gonna blow up the damn boat and everybody in it.
So this idea that you know, directing as if these
were two men, I assumed they were men, These two
men that were you know, killed the second in the
second in the second bombing, as if we had them

(25:39):
in custody as if you know, they waved the white
flag and said, okay, please please, we give up, we
give up, please arrest us, arrest us, and then we
executed them in custody. Yes, that's a war crime. But no,
these sobs were on a boat. They we're looking smuggle

(26:01):
drugs into our country, knowing it would murder and kill
god knows thousands of Americans. And they're blown Their boat
got blown up as it should have been blown up.
And then they said, hey, look the boat hasn't capsized,
and you still got two of those terrorists. Those two comebacks,

(26:21):
they're nine, are dead to our life. Finish them off.
We do that with terrorists all over the world all
the time. Now, let me just say this and then
I want to throw it open to you. Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. If this

(26:42):
is a war crime, then I'm telling you Obama is
a war criminal. Joe Biden is a war criminal. Every
president Eisenhower is a war criminal. Reagan is a war criminal.
Truman is a war criminal. Johnson is a war criminal.
FDR is a war criminal. By every other leader in

(27:04):
the world is a war criminal who's engaged in military action.
I mean this is like, I mean, this is childish.
I swear my ashes in Miava wouldn't talk this foolishly.
This is about getting Pete Hegseth. And the reason why

(27:26):
they want to get Pete Hegseth must be very very clear,
is because Pete Hegseth is changing and transforming the military
to what it was intended to be, a lethal war
fighting machine. The days of affirmative action are over, the

(27:46):
days of diversity, equity inclusion are over. The days of
politicizing our military are over. The days of putting Democrat
yes men and Democrat yes generals hacks like Mark Milly
are over. And the big issue is that heck Seth

(28:10):
wants to go after the seditious six. He wants to
go after Mark Kelly, he wants to go after Elisa Swapkin,
he wants to go after a Congresswoman, Margie Goodlander, every
single one of them that fomented sedition and insurrection in
that disgusting video. And so they're looking for any reason now.

(28:33):
Six one seven two sixty eight sixty eight is the
number you can also text the coooner Man seven zero
four seven zero seven zero four seven zero, Okay, lineser Jammed.
I'm gonna go to Vincent, Germany, but just before I do, uh,
this is from six to oh three. And the reason
why I want to read this text is he has

(28:56):
a son. I want to give specifics, but he has
a son in the mill of Terry, and he should
be very proud, an elite member of our military. And
he's a good friend of mine, Kevin. And this is
what he wrote to me, and I want to share
it with all of you. Jeff, the military has one
mission and one objective, kill the enemy. Not name the

(29:22):
enemy or incapacitate the enemy, but kill the enemy. And
don't you think it's laughable that this fall outrage is
coming from the same political side that had no problem
with all of Obama's quote unquote drone strikes, even though

(29:45):
there were many of them that hit civilians, including massacring
and entire wedding party. But all that was okay because
it was ordered by a Democrat. I can't take any
of their criticism seriously, and neither should anyone else. Brilliant,

(30:07):
absolutely brilliant, you know, and look, let me just this
is the cherry on the Sunday. Not only did Obama
order drone strikes which literally wiped out entire wedding parties.
They were innocent. There happened to be one terrorist who

(30:28):
came to that wedding and two hundred people got incinerated.
And it was done over and over and over and
over again. Now, if those aren't quote unquote war crimes,
I don't know what is. And yet the Democrats no problemo.
He even went after American citizens. Ala loche was the

(30:52):
most prominent. He became a terrorist all the lake he did,
but he was an American citizen, and Obama ordered him
to be droned literally to just, you know, just take
them out. There was no due process, He wasn't arrested,
he didn't have his rights read to him or anything
like that. So he ordered the indiscriminate murder of American citizens.

(31:18):
So not only were children killed, not only were women killed,
not only were civilians killed, but literally Americans were killed.
These two Narco terrorists that they allegedly took out in
that second strike, those aren't even American citizens. Their trend
or a ragua foreign terrorists. Well, so what we're supposed

(31:41):
to send a ship to scoop them up? Well, what
if they have what if they have a bomb on them?
You have no idea what these people have. So your
mission is to take out the boat and kill everybody
on board. Take them out and kill everybody on board.
If it takes one bomb or two bombs or three bombs,

(32:02):
I don't care. I mean, you know, I like it
nice and you know, tidy, one bomb, everybody's dead. But
that's not war. Now. I want to ask all of
you and then I promise I'm going to go to
the phone lines because they're they're they're jammed. Six one
seven two six x sixty eight sixty eight is the

(32:23):
number the Kooner Country Pole. Question of the Day sponsored
by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, Siding and Windows. Was the
second strike on the narco terrorist drug boat last September

(32:44):
in the Caribbean by the US military a war crime?

Speaker 9 (32:49):
So?

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Was the second strike on it was a trend of
a Ragua boat? Was the second strike on the narco
terrorist trend of ra Ragua drug boat? Vote in September
in the in the in the Caribbean by the US military?
Was it a war crime? The media moonbats, Democrats say yes,

(33:15):
A yes, b no, you know me I'm a hell
no on this, But what I ask all of you
aes b no. You can vote on our web page

always my handle. There one word at the Kooner Report.
At the Kooner Report, k u h N as in
national Er, Vince in Deutch in Germany. Thanks for holding

(34:03):
Vince and as always welcome, Good.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
Morning, Jeff. So is a health fire missile up the
rear under your drug boat? Isn't that denying you life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I mean it's ruining
your day for sure, right. I mean, what this world

(34:29):
needs less of is lawyers, and it always, it always
astounded me the idiotcy you'd hear come out of the
Pentagon or the Command about law of armed conflict, which
you know, there's basic guidelines what's gentlemanly and humane, okay,
But warfare in itself is inhumane, just just to the

(34:52):
mere fact that you're killing people right, either wilfully or unwillfully,
on their side. I'm saying, of course, you're killing them
willfully because you've been told to do it and you
believe it. You believe in the cause, right, So that's
why you kill them, because you believe in the cause. Anyway,
I digress. Mark Kelly, first off and foremost, is illegitimate.

(35:15):
He's an illegitimate senator because he was part of that
whole rigging in Arizona in twenty twenty with Carrie Lake
and Abe Hamaday. And I forget the guy he defeated.
He was backed by Peter feel I've already forgotten his name,
you know, but the guy that Mark Kelly beat in

(35:37):
the rigged election. So there's that. What's funny about Mark
Kelly is he's in with the McCain crowd. Those naval
aviators are real tight. They stick together, you know. And
we know about those mccainey acts. There isn't a war
that they don't love as long as it's on their terms, Jeff,
on their terms. But yeah, sedition, they should bring him back.

(36:01):
They should bring him back, put him in uniform, humiliate
him with a uniform inspection conducted by Pete Haig Seth.
Of course, you know before they court martial his rear
end like they should do Millie, like they should do
the whole rotten bunch, the other Kelly too, the one

(36:22):
from Jamaica. Plane there, the four star who lost his
son in Iraq? How does he live with himself knowing
he served his son up in Iraq to the neo
cons Yet he defends them every day, you.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Know, Vince, Vince very powerful. Look you served you know
what it's like. I've got to ask you if you
were in the situation room or if you were with
Pete hegg Seth and Admiral Bradley is on the phone
and he says, look, we've got trend there. We've got

(37:00):
them dead to rights. The boat is loaded with cocaine.
They're heading towards Puerto Rico. You know, do we have
the authority to take them out? And heg Seth says,
go ahead, Bradley takes them out. They're still the boat
is still not completely destroyed. It's still you know, it's
it's incapacitated, but it hasn't been capsized. And there's still

(37:23):
a couple of people hanging on, a couple of survivors.
Would you say no to a second strike or would
you say finish the mission.

Speaker 9 (37:33):
It's called a clean up shot, Jeff. That's all it is.
Send them in for a reattack. We did it all
the time in Afghanistan. Usually would shoot one shot at
him and then we'd say fire for effect, meaning the
first shot was good. So now just neutralize the target
lighted up. It's until it's lit until you do your bda,

(37:58):
which is your battle dam image assessment, which by law
you're required to do to give an assessment of what
you destroyed.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Okay, Vince, you know I agree with you, not one
hundred but one thousand percent, But I just want to
play because you're such an expert on this. Let me
just play Devil's advocate. Okay, let me be one of
these democrat morons. Well, Vince, the target's been neutralized, the
first bombs truck. The boat now has been essentially debilitated.

(38:30):
What's the point now of killing the other two survivors?
You know, we should go in there, save them, rescue them,
arrest them. Now we're just like the Russians, Vince. We're
just like the Iraqis. Vince. We're now the bat We're
like the Nazis. Vince. We're killing people who are now

(38:51):
helpless and innocent.

Speaker 9 (38:53):
What say you, Well, I say, the lawyers right the
law of armed conflict. And the lawyer is right the
rules of engagement. So consult the lawyers. If they don't
like it, change the law. They write the rules. These
guys are clowns. They're clowns. And you know what's funny
is like to the to the to the normy out there,

(39:14):
the average listener. And I don't mean to say that
as an insult. I'm just talking about people that are
caught up with their day to day lives and they
don't get into the minutia of the argument, you know.
But it's like to the normal people out there, they
hear this and they're like, well, yeah, that makes sense.
You know what I would What do I do to
my neighbor?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Right?

Speaker 9 (39:34):
Would I beat his head in with the tire iron
once he's down?

Speaker 2 (39:38):
No?

Speaker 9 (39:38):
Maybe I would walk away. Maybe, Like if he attacked me,
I would just like attack back until he didn't attack
me anymore, you know. But that doesn't mean I have
to kill him. But that's that's like civilized society.

Speaker 10 (39:51):
You know.

Speaker 9 (39:52):
I go back to warfare. What is warfare? We've decided
to go to war against a nation and organization whatever,
and so so we destroy it until it's done, until
they say no more destroying, no more destruction.

Speaker 11 (40:05):
You know.

Speaker 9 (40:06):
Now they classify these people as terrorists. So if you
want to get into the law of armed conflict, terrorists
fall under a different category than enemy combatants, you know
what I mean, meaning that you can you can stop
on that bug until that bug doesn't move anymore.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Then go Vince, honestly best in the business, Dynamite call
dynam might call Vince, Thank you very much for that call.
There you go, I mean, that's why you know Trump
and Hegseeth and Caroline Levitt and they're like, look, we're
taking out terrorists. I mean, and the media is deliberately
omitting that that these these are boats operated by Trend

(40:49):
de Aragua, which is a foreign terrorist organization. So they're like,
we're taking out a group of terrorists. What are you
people talking about? Yeah, up the boat and everybody in it.
What are you crazy? What We're just gonna what? So
let's say the two of them escape. What you think
they're gonna not be running drugs? So they escape, they

(41:12):
make it out somehow, they swim to safety or swim
the shore or whatever it is, and then what the
next batch of fentanyl they get into our country and
then literally tens of thousands of Americans are killed by it.
So no, you got them, you finish them. Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree.

(41:36):
Bruce in Wooburn, Thanks for holding Bruce and welcome.

Speaker 10 (41:46):
Yes, you got me at the end of a long giddeop,
and you're gonna cut me off before I have to say, well,
what I have to say. What I have to say
is we got pistol pede in there for a reason.
He changed the rules of engage to where we're not
going to be victims anymore. Like our police officers getting
killed are national god h Ice agents. See the moonbats,

(42:13):
They don't they don't care about you and I. They
want the drugs to come in so they can get
the votes for their little blue states because they're all
relying on these drugs to come in. And it's like
you said, it's not just cocaine, it's not just fetanol,
it's met then fhetamine, heroine, and this is what they're

(42:35):
bringing in. These these people are killers. So what I
wouldn't I wouldn't have shot in the second shot. Jeff.
If I was I wouldn't allowed that second shot. I
would just have to fly over and watch them get
eaten by shocks. That's what I would have liked to doing,
as this is what they deserve. Look at look at
ben Ghazi. Look at Benghazi, Look at look at the

(42:57):
Afghan withdrawal. We were withdrawing, withdrawingly, we were drawing peacefully,
and they didn't take out the terrorists. If they had
taken out the terrorists with the bomb, our guys would
be home. But we shouldn't have gone. We shouldn't have

(43:17):
been out of there anyway. This was this to me,
that's against Biden and Obama and everybody that was involved.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
Because they were all involved this this that was a
war crime to me, to have our servicemen slaughtered and
all those innocent civilians slaughtered.

Speaker 10 (43:38):
And these people have.

Speaker 11 (43:39):
The gall to say that Pete Pistol, Pete is in
the in the wrong and that President Trump is in
the wrong.

Speaker 10 (43:50):
Are you kidding me? That's what they that's what we
we We elected them for this.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
They're doing their job.

Speaker 10 (43:57):
These people need to go lay down. They were like
spacemen out in Pluto.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Bruce I'm going to play a cut and I want
to get your action because you're a thousand percent correct
and this people, I almost forgot about it. I remember
at the time it was a big issue and I
was spearheading the charge against Biden. So you're completely right.
So we have the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The terrorists

(44:25):
strike at Abbegate. Thirteen US service members are murdered, killed
by the way, many others are dismembered, crippled, maimed. Everybody
forgets about them. But thirteen of our own are are killed,
and it could have been prevented. We had the terrorist
and Biden gives the order not to deliver the kill shot.

(44:48):
So and by the way, hundreds of innocent Afghan civilians
were slaughtered as well, So it's an atrocity. Now Millie
looks bad, Biden looks bad, so they need to retaliate.
And so the next day, in order to retaliate people
have forgotten about this, Biden orders a drone strike. This

(45:11):
is now inside the capitol of Afghanistan, Cabul, and they
think they're striking at a terrorist cell that was involved
in Abbigate, but it turns out they got the wrong car.
They were not terrorists. They had nothing to do with terrorism,
They had nothing to do with abbigate. In fact, it

(45:34):
was a car loaded with children and they were going
to a house where they were children literally playing in
the courtyard, and so they launched this devastrating drone missile
strike that literally wiped out what was it, over a
dozen people, eight of them children. And what I mean

(45:55):
by children, I'm talking five six seven year old kids.
It was a slaughter. You want war crime, this is
your war crime. I mean, you can't even say we
got one terrorist and then there's collateral damage. There were
no terrorists. They admitted there were no terrorists. They literally

(46:17):
pardon expression. They fed up, and so they tracked somebody.
They thought that person was going to be a terrorist.
Turned out al Qaeda wasn't al Keeda. Oops, we made
a mistake. They were literally innocent people and then over
a dozen of them, including eight kids killed. What did
the media say nothing? What did the Democrats say nothing?

(46:40):
Now this is not ancient history. This is under Joee
just four years ago, okay, under Biden. But when the
media asked the Pentagon to get their reaction, listen, now,
this is Admiral John Kirby, Remember that liar Okay NSA spokesman.
He goes on, now they're MS Now they're always changing

(47:03):
their name. Then they were MSNBC. Listen now to what
Kirby said in response to that heinous, brutal, savage drone
strike that literally killed innocent children. Roll cut ten, Mike.

Speaker 12 (47:23):
How does it strike you that no one is held accountable?
Because I know how it strikes a lot of people
around the world that you can get away with murder
and nobody's punished for it.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
I do understand that we appreciate that not everybody's gonna
support this decision. What I can tell you is we
looked at this thing very, very comprehensively, and again we
acknowledge that there were procedural breakdowns, processes were not executed
the way they should have been. But it doesn't necessarily
indicate that an individual or individuals have to be held
to account for that.

Speaker 12 (47:51):
But look, this is more discipline inside the Pentagon at all.
I mean, maybe they're no charges brought up, but is
anyone demoted or disciplined for what happened, then.

Speaker 7 (47:59):
We are going to do There's no there's not going
to be individual discipline as a result of this, Willie.
But what we are going to do is learn from this,
and we're going to enact and improve our procedures in
our processes to try to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
It's a learning experience. You kill eight children, many of
them literally four or five six years old, completely innocent.
It's mass murder. This was mass murder, ordered by Biden
and ordered by Millie. You want to talk about war crimes,
this is it. This is it. This is textbook war crimes.

(48:35):
They even admit it. It was murder. Did anybody lose
their job? Yit was anybody even freaking demoted, I don't know,
suspended for a week without pay yet, Bruce. It was
a learning experience. So you see when that Democrats commit

(48:55):
real war crimes, nothing when the Republicans commit, or in
this case Trump, fake war crimes because there was no
war crime. It was all legitimate from beginning ten. It's Watergate,
it's Auschwitz, it's investigations, it's resignations. It's a presidency now

(49:19):
in turmoil, Bruce. Final word to you.

Speaker 10 (49:24):
Wait till they go into Louisiana with permission from the
governor and clean up. They got to clean up. They
got to clean up Louisiana really bad because they're all
in there thicker than thieves. They're going to do it
and they're doing their job, and don't take that away
from them. Don't muddy the waters with all this bureaucratical bs.

(49:46):
They're doing their job that we hired them for. And
there's a rally in Burlington on the sixth against Ice.
I'm not going to show up because I know what
I'll do. I'll get out of control and I'll get arrested,
and I don't want to do that. But the world
will see that these people aren't right in the head.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
Bruce, thank you very much for that call. When the
seditious six you know, posted that video, this is what
they're trying to create. Don't have the military defy Trump,
defy heg Seth, defy Admiral Bradley and say no, I'm

(50:31):
not going to take out these trender Aragua drug boats.
I'm not going to follow lawful orders. I'm not going
to say if Trump orders an attack on Venezuela,

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. 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. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
