Speaker 1 (00:00):
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military
operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.
This operation will continue for as many days as it
takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
Tehran have brazenly openly called.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
For Israel's destruction.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to
develop nuclear weapons. In recent years, Iran has produced enough
highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months,
Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before,
steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran
(00:47):
could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.
It could be a year, it could be within a
few months, less than a year. This is the clear
and present danger to Israel's very survival.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and Yahoo announcing Operation Rising Lion,
targeting military operations in Iran, installations of nuclear facilities, leaders
that were decapitated and taken out. I mean, the level
of intelligence that the masade that Israel had going into
(01:20):
this operation was second to none, and it was devastating
for Iran. But that was then and this is now
from Fox News, Trey Yanks reporting.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Shout the sticks.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
All right, let's go, it's under go.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, boy, guys, come on, everyone moved now. Everyone moved now.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Jaw dropping images and moments this afternoon, Iran unleashing a
barrage of missiles against Israel came coming really in three waves.
Israel bracing for more tonight and more days of conflict
as well. With that, we bring in Trey Yanks live
from Aviv for the very latest on his street there.
He has just been to one of the areas that
(02:04):
was damaged in these attacks.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I try it, yeah, Martha, Good afternoon. Overnight, the Israelis
launched widespread strikes against Iranian targets, hitting the country's nuclear
facilities and also targeting their top nuclear scientists and members
of the IRGC. The Iranians have responded to those ongoing
strikes where they alist missed attack against Israel in two
(02:29):
separate waves, around one hundred missiles striking the central part
of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You can see they are.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Still taking injured people out of this area of Tel Aviv.
It's a densely populated both commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And residential area.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We've seen children being taken from here, one elderly woman
and even pets. As the Israelis are preparing for the
possibility of more Iranian retaliation, we do understand they are
continuing strikes against Iran. Tonight, the IDM telling Fox News
that the Israelis struck a number of Iranian airbases and
their own missile defense system outside of the capital of Tihran.
(03:05):
We just received a press release from the top medical
facility in Israel that is coordinating the evacuations of the
injured from this ballistic missile attack that you saw.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Live on Fox.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
They say thirty four people were injured from strikes in
this area. One woman is in critical condition, others taken
to local hospitals. But again tonight, Israel is bracing for
the possibility of more ballistic missile attacks as this country
is now in a direct conflict with the Iranian regime.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Mark that's from Trey yengs Dan Fox News in Tel Aviv,
where ballistic missiles, as he reported, were fired by Iran. Now,
Israel does have the Iron Dome, a defense mechanism again
that is state of the art and intercepts a lot
of ballistics that were coming into Israel. But it can't
bat a thousand, and it hasn't in this case, and
(03:55):
it would make sense that Iran would target Tel Aviv
in Israel as the main heartbeat of that country. And
this is now all out war as it stands right now,
but from a strategic standpoint from where this began, Israel
throwing the first punch, going on offense, this will be
a law of diminishing returns. In my estimation for the
(04:15):
Iranian regime, they have been leveled. They have been decimated
from the leadership on down. The head of the snake,
so to speak. The Ayatola remains in supreme command, but
he might be next.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And if the Masad, if.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Israel's force is new where these military leaders were stationed,
you can bet your bottom dollar they know where the
Ayatola is as well. This ultimately could mean freedom for
the Iranian people. And the Iranian people are remarkable, yet
they've been under the yoke of this regime since nineteen
seventy nine when the Shah was overthrown and a theocracy
(04:48):
was instituted. Why we have not seen more support from
the left for those that might revolt from within Iran
is It's really a mystery to me, you defend women's rights.
If you look at pictures from the nineteen seventies and
the beaches of Iran, women could wear two piece bikinis.
They can't do that anymore. They have to wear head coverings.
(05:11):
In Iran. The mandatory h jab is enforced through Sharia law.
These are site Muslims and a board of mullas that
forced their will upon the Iranian people. I remember driving
uber Any Slansing and a young female student from Iran
was studying. What was studying rather the high powered It
(05:34):
was called the FRIB and these were high speed electrons
and they were using experiments to conduct collisions in nuclear experiments.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Now she knew that as a female, she could not go.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Back to Iran, and perhaps for us, that's a good
thing that she didn't, because she seemed very smart, brilliant
to me in fact, and she was looking for a
new chance here in the United States where she would
be considered an equal, would be hired by a scientific
that was just not going to be possible for her
in Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
This is a long time coming.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Iran has had designs on destroying Israel for some time.
By and large, they've used proxies to this effect, including
the attacks of October seventh, by bank rolling and supplying
the likes of Hamas hes Belah, the Hoofy rebels. These
are all supplied, financed by the Iranian regime. To pretend
(06:26):
otherwise is foolhardy, and it's intentionally ignorant. Dana Bash CNN
had this conversation with President Trump earlier today, and he
responded in typical classic Trump.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Fashion, and then he went on to say this. Iran
should have listened to me when I said, you know,
I gave them. I don't know if you know this,
but I gave them a sixty day warning, and today
is day sixty one. And then he said, they, meaning Iran,
should now come to the table to make a deal
before it's too late. And then he said something really noteworthy.
(07:01):
He said, the people I was dealing with are dead,
the hardliners, to which I just wanted to underscore. So
what you're saying is Israel has now killed the people
who you were dealing with. And he said, very sarcastically,
they didn't die of the flu. They didn't die of COVID.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, let's put it this way, Danna, they didn't die
of the flu, and they didn't die of COVID, the
China virus. Okay, so these leaders have been eliminated. Donald
Trump gave them fair warning and said, look, you got
sixty days. Guess what Yesterday was day sixty one. And
that the American government would not have been involved in
(07:42):
these attacks. That has been well established and that will
be reaffirmed here by American diplomat Richard Haass. But you
can't say that President Trump was going to stand in
the way the way that President Biden likely would have,
the way that a potential thank god she's not president
Kamala Harris would have.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You can imagine what would.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Have happened in the wake of these attacks today, if
God forbid, Kamala Harris was president, there would be a
complete reduction, if not elimination, of all arms provided to Israel.
There would be a demand for Israel to come to
the negotiation table, and this would in effect by time
for the Iranian regime. Why why are Democrats so sympathetic
(08:23):
to this brutal, oppressive regime that is hostile to women.
This is Richard Hass saying, Look, Trump might not have
been in on it, but he wasn't going to stand
in the way at.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
The moment, you can prepare for military action, this says Israel,
and that also can be supportive of the negotiations. It
focuses the Iranians on the alternative to a negotiation, and
you can also be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Preparing for military action.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
I do not think the Israelis would use military force
over American objections if Donald Trump goes to giving that
Tanya who hold off. I simply do not believe any
Israeli prime minister a militarily here. I just I just
don't buy that the consequences of that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Would be to it. So I don't think we've yet
reached that point.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And Trump kind of signaled in comments made over the
last two days that something was coming.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Something was coming.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We had evacuated our own forces, American forces out of
that region, and that should have been a red flag
for the Iranian regime, but maybe they weren't buying it
until it actually happened. Trump again stated the need for
diplomatic relations, for negotiations to avoid this military exchange that
were watching unfold in real time before our very eyes
(09:33):
in Tel Aviv, Israel, and in Tehran, Iran, and in
points throughout the Iranian nation where they have stockpiles of
nuclear fissile material. It doesn't take a rocket scientist U
pun intended to know where Iran was going with this.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Why do they need nuclear energy? Let's pump the brakes
right there.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Unless you're a committed brain dead leftist who believes that Iran,
of all countries, one of the most oil rich nations
below their feet on the planet along with Saudi Arabia,
that suddenly something would motivate them to go green. But
they wanted to develop nuclear power just for the sake
(10:12):
of energy to replace fossil fuels. What kind of head
injury did you have to suffer in order to believe that,
because that's what the Obama administration and the Biden administration
would have you believe. Of course, that's poppycock, that's balderdash.
It's other words that I can't say on the radio,
but I just use those two. They were looking to
(10:33):
develop a nuclear weapon capable of obliterating Israel and at
the heart of it, Tel Aviv. Instead, they're throwing these
rockets at Tel Aviv, and there will be casualties. This
is not a one hundred zero sum game. It's going
to be pretty close. It might be ninety ten favor Israel.
Israel might sustain some casualties civilian and otherwise military as well,
(10:54):
but they have inflicted tremendous damage on Iran in just
the last twenty four hours, and more is coming, and
their intel abounds. It is a bounty of intel that
Israel was able to get in behind enemy lines using
the masade, which is their version ostensibly of the CIA
in our country, Spies on the ground with eyes on
(11:16):
these facilities and the military leaders. Somebody was leaking, and
my best guess this is again this is just me
Layman's terms.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Layman's view, there had to be.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
People on the inside of their Iranian regime that were
sympathetic to the resistance to a potential revolution in Iran
to overthrow the Mullas and the Ayahtola. That would explain
why Israel would have access to such information and have
such precise detail on their military endeavors, moves actions over
the last twenty four hours. Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat Virginia.
(11:49):
He just wanted Israel to give diplomacy a chance to work.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
This is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
The president and the team, by every indication I have,
administration's team was really begging the Prime Minister not to
do this until the diplomatic discussions were done. Again, diplomacy
may not work, discussions may not lead to a productive outcome,
but why torch diplomacy before it's been allowed to succeed.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Diplomacy has been tried by the various administrations in place,
going back to Ronald Reagan. Now, Reagan thought he might
have some political capitals, some headway with the newly installed
regime of the Iyatola Komane. And if you remember in
nineteen seventy nine to eighty, they were holding American hostages.
This was a blight on President Jimmy Carter's record. It
(12:41):
is likely a large reason why he lost. And as
if to mock Jimmy Carter, Iran released those hostages immediately
upon Ronald Reagan being sworn in his president, which raised
a lot of eyebrows. And then came the Iran Iraq
War in which there were no good guys. And this
is the point I always try to make this foreign
policy that we've had many times in our history as
(13:03):
the United States, that the enemy of my enemy as
my friend is simply not true.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
At one time, the.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Enemy of our enemy being our friend was Osama Bin
Laden leading the Afghanistan resistance against the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
How did that turnout?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
We armed them, We armed Iraq and Saddam Hussein against
the Iranians because we viewed Iraq, a secular dictatorship, as
a lesser of two evils against the Iranian regime. How
did that turn out? We cannot go around the globe
and be the world's police. We can, to a certain
extent to protect our allies, but to go on wars
(13:40):
of adventure, and I would call the moors of misadventure
and nation building and trying to prop up these tin
pot dictator regimes that pop up.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Out of the dark.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
You know, the efforts that we made in Beirut, Lebanon,
in a Nicaragua. These are foolish endeavors. They are fools errands.
And luckily, I think our party, the Republican Party, has
learned from that. That is one of the greatest things
that Donald Trump has contributed to the modern Republican Party
is moving it away from the neo kan warhawks like
(14:10):
Lindsay Graham, Dick Cheney, even George W.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Bush.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And you could understand it in the wake of nine
to eleven, going after Afghanistan because they refused to turn
over Issama bin Laden. But then we got diverted into Iraq.
Why was this revenge for his father and the assassination
attempts against him, the fabrication of a story of weapons
of mass destruction that either didn't currently exist, as Colin
Powell testified before the United Nations that Saddam Hussein did
(14:36):
have mustard gas at one time. That is accurate. That
either it was used, he no longer possessed.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The stockpiles, he moved them somewhere else. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
He wanted other countries to think he had them, but
it was a bluff. There were all kinds of explanations
for this, but nothing that justified the loss of blood
and treasure and military personnel and lives in our incursion
into Iraq, Usia Baghdad, toppling the Saddam Hussein's regime and
killing his two sons as well. We thought that in
(15:07):
its void, democracy would arise in Iraq, and that simply
has not happened. Look at what happened also in Afghanistan,
Khamid Harzaei. Our efforts over twenty years to build a
democracy there failed On one day in the withdrawal authorized
by President Biden. This is all the case evidence we
(15:27):
need to know that there should not be American intervention
in these wars. That is very different, however, from Tim
Kaine's suggestion that somehow we could diplomatically talk our way
out of this that had been tried with Iran since
nineteen seventy nine. That's forty six years ago. And here's
the other ridiculous claim he made.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I think we learned, at our peril we had a
diplomatic deal with Iran that was controlling their nuclear enrichment
false and that subjected them to the most searching inspection
regime in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Also thought Saint President.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Trump made a huge mistake in tearing them up and
giving around the green light to more and more enrichment.
That's now we're living through that now. But it's never
too late to look for diplomatic options, and I praised
the Trump administration for doing it. Those discussions Sunday were
going to be very high stakes. I'm frankly shocked that
(16:19):
the Israeli Prime Minister would decide that he couldn't wait
three or four days and he wanted to torch diplomacy before
it occurred.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
My goodness, Obama sent them paletts of cash. He reignited
their nuclear program. Donald Trump had starved them out with
oil embargoes and sanctions and made it so it was
impossible for them to fund terrorism throughout the world. It
was Joe Biden that instituted those weak policies that led
to oxygen being provided to Iran, and they were remobilized
(16:49):
and reinvigorated and remotivated for their destruction of Little Satan
Israel and the Great Satan, which is the United States.
While Obama Biden those administrations believe for a moment they
could negotiate in good faith with these state sponsors of
terror is beyond comprehension. But what Donald Trump is doing
(17:10):
right now, to me is genius. It's brilliant. They are
good cop bad copping the Iranians. Net Yahoo gladly playing
the role of bad cop, and that goes on the
military action. Donald Trump giving them an off ramp. He's
the good cop. He's got the carrot. Netanyahu has the stick.
Iran's got a choice now, and their choices are bad
and much much worse. Father's Day coming up on Sunday,

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Side.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
What do you make a mus criticism of?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Well, it's like I've been saying, you know that the
dams we've been dumping all over musk and vandalizing Tesla's
or whatever, and now suddenly and now we might might
be more back into them, and day it's a psychonds
It's like, you know, he's right about that big, beautiful fill.
I mean, now it's like adding a two and a
half truly in debt. Uh, I mean, it's astonishing. I
(20:04):
can't imagine anyone genuinely think this is like a smart thing.
And that's where we are. And now I was suddenly,
now Musk is right. Well, we were just you know,
going after him for all those months now and showing
up at Tesla dealerships and all those kinds of things.
I do we have to decide, you know, where are
we thinking about him?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Are democrats disingenuous?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
So suddenly finding Evon Musk is their new best friend?
Speaker 10 (20:27):
Well, I'm saying all I'm saying though, it's like he's
right about the Big Beautiful Bill. And now suddenly it
wasn't that long ago that Tesla's was like the virtue
signaling kind of accessory for for Dams as well too.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
So now where we.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Are on all this kind of a thing, now where
I follow what I is the truth. I would never
want to vandalize Teslas, and and now the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Is wrong for America.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
And so from from my perspective, it's it's like I
just try to be consistent through that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You got to give him that he is consistent.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I just agree with him on the Big Beautiful Bill,
but that's his position, he has a right to it,
and he correctly points out the Dems can't both love
Elon Musk on the one hand and hate him on
the other.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
For instance.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
While I disagree with a lot of what Senator Fetterman
says does, including his take on the Big Beautiful Bill
and his take that he posted about Senator Alex Padilla,
which was pro wrestling k fabe looking to draw some
heat with a shoot, I agree with him on this
point that you can't go around torching tesla's, keying them
(21:32):
in parking lots, bombing them at dealerships, threatening violence against
Elon Musk, and then all of a sudden he's your
buddy because on one topic where you'd agree with him,
you want to gain some political traction. And John Fetterman,
he's not about that action. That's why we call it
based Fetterman. He is who he is and I could
respect that, and I also respect this take he's given
(21:55):
on the ongoing military conflict that is erupted between Israel
and Iran. He says, quote, our commitment to Israel must
be absolute, and I fully support this attack, Israel going
into Iran and taking out their nuclear facilities, keep wiping
out Iranian leadership and the nuclear personnel. We must provide
whatever is necessary military intelligence weaponry to fully back Israel
(22:18):
in striking Iran. Agree on that point, and I like
Senator Fetterman. I just like him, doesn't mean i'd agree
with him on everything, doesn't mean I wouldn't rather have
a Republican in his place. However, if you had to
have a Democrat, I'm glad it's John Fetterman and not
some other of wacko because this guy, he doesn't have
a filter. But something click back into place poststroke, and
I'm glad for that. And it goes to this Texter's point, Ryan,
(22:41):
I support Israel, but does it matter to you that
they violated the Geneva Convention by targeting civilian scientists? First,
I'm going to need you to show your work. Who
are the sources saying that? Secondly, define civilian scientists, that's
a real kind of sticky wicket when it comes to
Iran that would be serving the regime and researching nuclear
(23:03):
weaponry behind closed doors. Israeli intelligence suggested that they were
on the precipice of developing a nuclear weapon within the
calendar year, if not months away. I don't have any
reason to dispute what Israel thought, reacted to, acted upon.
This would be the same kind of logic that you
would say, you know, we shouldn't be targeting a doctor
(23:25):
Mengela because he's a physician for the Nazis. Come on,
if there's a very not even a loose affiliation, you
can read between the lines here. If they're employing nuclear scientists,
they're continuing to develop these centerfuges and the weaponry within
which they could arm these centerfuges as nuclear weapons, then
(23:46):
that's so called civilian scientists that becomes a fair target
because they are doing the research and continuing with the
development of these arms that would obliterate Israel. So that
would be my response to that. Five seven seven three.
You can text us as well. Be sure to text
us your vote for our Friday Fool of the Week.
We narrowed it down from semi finalists to finalists, and
(24:07):
I'll read those to you one more time.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You heard them an hour number one.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If you're just tuning in, well, you can hit midstride
and still vote for one of these representative Linda Sanchez, Democrat, California.
That was Kelly's pick. She apparently knows what a woman is,
but then plays the woman card, claiming Scott Bessen is
talking over her man's plaining and a congressional hearing in
which she drew groans when she did that, I am
a woman.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I'm so used to being talked over.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
At least you know that you're a woman, though, And
Governor Tim Walls didn't know how to define one. He
didn't even make the cut our other finalists. I mentioned
the k Fabe Pro Wrestling display put on by Senator
Alex Padilla, and I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I said, that's what this was.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
For those of you that grew up in the eighties
and nineties watching the Attitude era in the WWE as
it was then known in the late nineties, Stone called
Steve Austin, the rock or Macho Man, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan,
mister Wonderful Paul Orndorf.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I mean, that's what we're looking at here, That's what
yesterday was. Anybody with a brain can see it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It was a distraction ploy and technique, and Senator Padilla
disgraced himself.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
But maybe not as much as our.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Third Domini, Mark Brown, that's the ABC News anchor in
Los Angeles that said, hey, look sending in law enforcement
may escalate quote just a bunch of people having fun
watching cars burn. Well, our next guest doesn't have fun
watching cars burn, but sometimes in the courtroom he watches
defendants burn. And is that what happened with Mike Lindell?
(25:36):
We check in for the very latest with Jimmy Sangenberger.
He's a columnist, not bed writer for The Gazette and
often a frequent filling host for this program on Ryan
Shuling Live. Jimmy, Welcome, Happy Friday. I know you filled
in for Mandy Connell. I'm putting you on overtime here.
What's the latest on this Mike Lindell trial.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
Well, the disappointing thing about the great thing of filling
in for Mandy or for you or any of our
great colleagues and KOA and kW is that I didn't
get to see the closing arguments today. Finally got the
closing arguments in a trial that began two Mondays ago
(26:14):
with jury selection. Opening arguments were last Tuesday. I caught
about half of that and five days basically of the
eight days of testimony in this trial, and this morning
they had a couple of things where the Lindell team
tried to get the case dismissed by the judge. They
(26:34):
went to jury instructions and then closing arguments, and now
the jury is in deliberation for what Mike Flyndell, the
of course owner of My Pillow and Frank Speech that
are also separately named defendants in this lawsuit. It's a
defamation case in federal court in downtown Denver, so right
(26:54):
here because dominion where the plaintiff, Eric Hoomer, former vice
president used to work as VP, is based in Denver,
and Eric Hoomer's in Denver, so pretty crazy that this
case and other similar cases against Lynn Dell and defamation
or other defendants rather on defamation are based out of Colorado.
(27:19):
So that's sort of the bottom line. This has to
do with claims regarding the twenty twenty election and Eric
Hoomer basically being made into the face of it all
and the villain if you will, that, at least by
implication from a lot of folks, was the guy behind
the false claims of the stolen election that had been
sort of a ring leader instilling the election according to
(27:41):
the false claim.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Follow him on x with the very latest as he
covers this case at Saying Center, Seng Center, ce n
t Er Jimmy Seckenberger our guest. Couple of things about
Mike Lindell himself, Jimmy testimony and I'm not sure if
you were present for this, but apparently there was a
revelation in court in which under oath Mike Lindell admitted
he exaggerated claims about dominion voting systems. And then this
(28:03):
post today praying in court today, this trial is so
important for the future of our country. Prayericon emoji mypillowtrial
dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We noticed that he had.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
His own network and reporters on the scene as well
covering this trial. Your thoughts on either of those two points.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
Well, first, he didn't by the way I took it.
He said, you can call it hyperbole, right. He didn't
exactly say I was exaggerating, because if he was, he
would have said I didn't really mean that he was
a trader or a criminal. Instead, he used those terms
over the course of a couple of years at various
points of calling Eric Kumer a trader and a criminal,
(28:45):
and what have you, and he did so, at least
in court. He made the argument that Eric Kumer is
what he calls a blocker, and that means that Kuomer
was somehow blocking Lindell being able to get the truth
out out about the twenty twenty election, at least the
truth as he claims it is. Now. The thing is
(29:06):
that Lindell at the same time didn't want to argue
about the twenty twenty elections so much. He had thirty
five people that he claimed were experts that he had
consulted on elections or cyber stuff, and not a single
one of those so called experts testified at all. Lindeale
said in his testimony, which was mostly Monday and Tuesday,
(29:28):
a little bit on Wednesday, that this case is not
about the twenty twenty election. This is about Eric Komer
being a blocker. But in a fabulous display of circular logic,
what was the blocking information about the twenty twenty election, Well,
it was. It was fascinating to sort of watch a
lot of the way in which Lindell tried to present
(29:50):
this in his case. I will also say that in
regards to the mypillowtrial dot com and emails and everything
I did. You saw a picture last week or I
saw him being interviewed, I got a picture of it
outside the courthouse and the actually that was with Lyndell TV.
And that actually led the judge, who I thought has
(30:11):
done a very good job in this case to be
frank you really fair in the trial to basically give
a gag order and say Lindell, you're not supposed to
talk about the case like this, but he could now.
Of course all emails I've been getting them daily, maybe
you have to with promo codes which actually were part
of the trial. And more to Garner's support and financial
(30:35):
aid for Lindell, who may be out forty million dollars
if he loses this lawsuit in the jury gives the
full award.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Wow Saying center on x SCNGS Center Centr for the
very latest as we await a.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Verdict going into the weekend.

about how to save our country. He was much better
at sleeping than we could sleep.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
He could sleep on a beach with cameras rolling. I
can't do that.
Speaker 3 (32:13):

We have a winner, Kelly has told us. Kelly, who
(32:35):
is that winner for our Friday Fool the Week?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
This is not going to shock you, Yep. Senator Padilla
really edging out Mark Brown.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Here was his sob story after forcing himself to be
removed from a Christine Nome press conference.
Speaker 12 (32:48):
I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room. I
was forced to the grounds, and I was handcuffed. I
was not arrested, I was not detained. I will say this.
If this is how this administration responds to a senator
(33:12):
with a question.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
You the crocodile.
Speaker 12 (33:14):
If this is how the Department of Holland Security responds
to a senator with a question, you can only imagine.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Pause for dramatic effect. Here is what they're.
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Doing to farm workers, to cooks, two day labors out
in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout
the country.
Speaker 12 (33:37):
We will hold this administration.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I count well deserved.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Senator Alex Badia our Friday fool of the week. This
Texter asking Ryan you still watch pro wrestling.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I watch classic matches from the eighties and nineties, back
when it was fun. It doesn't seem as fun anymore.
And I guess I just got old real quick.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Do not go to the No Kings. I was joking
about that yesterday.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
There is intel that they're going to be posing as
MAGA supporters to try to start stuff. To steer clear
of all of that. That's my advice heading into the weekend.
Happy Father's Day to all of you celebrate. I'm back
with you on Monday with more Ryan Schuling Live
Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military
operation to roll back the Uranian threat to Israel's very survival.
This operation will continue for as many days as it
takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of
Tehran have brazenly openly called.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
For Israel's destruction.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to
develop nuclear weapons. In recent years, Iran has produced enough
highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine In recent months,
Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before,
steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran
(00:47):
could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.
It could be a year, it could be within a
few months, less than a year. This is the clear
and present danger to Israel's very survival.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Nett and Yahoo announcing Operation Rising Lion,
targeting military operations in Iran, installations of nuclear facilities, leaders
that were decapitated and taken out. I mean, the level
of intelligence that the masade that Israel had going into
(01:20):
this operation was second to none, and it was devastating
for Iran. But that was then and this is now
from Fox News, Trey Yanks reporting.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Shout the sticks.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
All right, let's go, it's under go.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, boy, guys, come on, everyone moved now. Everyone moved now.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Jaw dropping images and moments this afternoon, Iran unleashing a
barrage of missiles against Israel came coming really in three waves.
Israel bracing for more tonight and more days of conflict
as well. With that, we bring in Trey Yanks live
from Aviv for the very latest on his street there.
He has just been to one of the areas that
(02:04):
was damaged in these attacks.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I try it, yeah, Martha, Good afternoon. Overnight, the Israelis
launched widespread strikes against Iranian targets, hitting the country's nuclear
facilities and also targeting their top nuclear scientists and members
of the IRGC. The Iranians have responded to those ongoing
strikes where they alist missed attack against Israel in two
(02:29):
separate waves, around one hundred missiles striking the central part
of this country.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You can see they are.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Still taking injured people out of this area of Tel Aviv.
It's a densely populated both commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And residential area.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We've seen children being taken from here, one elderly woman
and even pets. As the Israelis are preparing for the
possibility of more Iranian retaliation, we do understand they are
continuing strikes against Iran. Tonight, the IDM telling Fox News
that the Israelis struck a number of Iranian airbases and
their own missile defense system outside of the capital of Tihran.
(03:05):
We just received a press release from the top medical
facility in Israel that is coordinating the evacuations of the
injured from this ballistic missile attack that you saw.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Live on Fox.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
They say thirty four people were injured from strikes in
this area. One woman is in critical condition, others taken
to local hospitals. But again tonight, Israel is bracing for
the possibility of more ballistic missile attacks as this country
is now in a direct conflict with the Iranian regime.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Mark that's from Trey yengs Dan Fox News in Tel Aviv,
where ballistic missiles, as he reported, were fired by Iran. Now,
Israel does have the Iron Dome, a defense mechanism again
that is state of the art and intercepts a lot
of ballistics that were coming into Israel. But it can't
bat a thousand, and it hasn't in this case, and
(03:55):
it would make sense that Iran would target Tel Aviv
in Israel as the main heartbeat of that country. And
this is now all out war as it stands right now,
but from a strategic standpoint from where this began, Israel
throwing the first punch, going on offense, this will be
a law of diminishing returns. In my estimation for the
(04:15):
Iranian regime, they have been leveled. They have been decimated
from the leadership on down. The head of the snake,
so to speak. The Ayatola remains in supreme command, but
he might be next.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And if the Masad, if.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Israel's force is new where these military leaders were stationed,
you can bet your bottom dollar they know where the
Ayatola is as well. This ultimately could mean freedom for
the Iranian people. And the Iranian people are remarkable, yet
they've been under the yoke of this regime since nineteen
seventy nine when the Shah was overthrown and a theocracy
(04:48):
was instituted. Why we have not seen more support from
the left for those that might revolt from within Iran
is It's really a mystery to me, you defend women's rights.
If you look at pictures from the nineteen seventies and
the beaches of Iran, women could wear two piece bikinis.
They can't do that anymore. They have to wear head coverings.
(05:11):
In Iran. The mandatory h jab is enforced through Sharia law.
These are site Muslims and a board of mullas that
forced their will upon the Iranian people. I remember driving
uber Any Slansing and a young female student from Iran
was studying. What was studying rather the high powered It
(05:34):
was called the FRIB and these were high speed electrons
and they were using experiments to conduct collisions in nuclear experiments.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Now she knew that as a female, she could not go.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Back to Iran, and perhaps for us, that's a good
thing that she didn't, because she seemed very smart, brilliant
to me in fact, and she was looking for a
new chance here in the United States where she would
be considered an equal, would be hired by a scientific
that was just not going to be possible for her
in Iran.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
This is a long time coming.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Iran has had designs on destroying Israel for some time.
By and large, they've used proxies to this effect, including
the attacks of October seventh, by bank rolling and supplying
the likes of Hamas hes Belah, the Hoofy rebels. These
are all supplied, financed by the Iranian regime. To pretend
(06:26):
otherwise is foolhardy, and it's intentionally ignorant. Dana Bash CNN
had this conversation with President Trump earlier today, and he
responded in typical classic Trump.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Fashion, and then he went on to say this. Iran
should have listened to me when I said, you know,
I gave them. I don't know if you know this,
but I gave them a sixty day warning, and today
is day sixty one. And then he said, they, meaning Iran,
should now come to the table to make a deal
before it's too late. And then he said something really noteworthy.
(07:01):
He said, the people I was dealing with are dead,
the hardliners, to which I just wanted to underscore. So
what you're saying is Israel has now killed the people
who you were dealing with. And he said, very sarcastically,
they didn't die of the flu. They didn't die of COVID.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, let's put it this way, Danna, they didn't die
of the flu, and they didn't die of COVID, the
China virus. Okay, so these leaders have been eliminated. Donald
Trump gave them fair warning and said, look, you got
sixty days. Guess what Yesterday was day sixty one. And
that the American government would not have been involved in
(07:42):
these attacks. That has been well established and that will
be reaffirmed here by American diplomat Richard Haass. But you
can't say that President Trump was going to stand in
the way the way that President Biden likely would have,
the way that a potential thank god she's not president
Kamala Harris would have.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You can imagine what would.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Have happened in the wake of these attacks today, if
God forbid, Kamala Harris was president, there would be a
complete reduction, if not elimination, of all arms provided to Israel.
There would be a demand for Israel to come to
the negotiation table, and this would in effect by time
for the Iranian regime. Why why are Democrats so sympathetic
(08:23):
to this brutal, oppressive regime that is hostile to women.
This is Richard Hass saying, Look, Trump might not have
been in on it, but he wasn't going to stand
in the way at.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
The moment, you can prepare for military action, this says Israel,
and that also can be supportive of the negotiations. It
focuses the Iranians on the alternative to a negotiation, and
you can also be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Preparing for military action.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
I do not think the Israelis would use military force
over American objections if Donald Trump goes to giving that
Tanya who hold off. I simply do not believe any
Israeli prime minister a militarily here. I just I just
don't buy that the consequences of that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Would be to it. So I don't think we've yet
reached that point.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
And Trump kind of signaled in comments made over the
last two days that something was coming.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Something was coming.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
We had evacuated our own forces, American forces out of
that region, and that should have been a red flag
for the Iranian regime, but maybe they weren't buying it
until it actually happened. Trump again stated the need for
diplomatic relations, for negotiations to avoid this military exchange that
were watching unfold in real time before our very eyes
(09:33):
in Tel Aviv, Israel, and in Tehran, Iran, and in
points throughout the Iranian nation where they have stockpiles of
nuclear fissile material. It doesn't take a rocket scientist U
pun intended to know where Iran was going with this.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Why do they need nuclear energy? Let's pump the brakes
right there.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Unless you're a committed brain dead leftist who believes that Iran,
of all countries, one of the most oil rich nations
below their feet on the planet along with Saudi Arabia,
that suddenly something would motivate them to go green. But
they wanted to develop nuclear power just for the sake
(10:12):
of energy to replace fossil fuels. What kind of head
injury did you have to suffer in order to believe that,
because that's what the Obama administration and the Biden administration
would have you believe. Of course, that's poppycock, that's balderdash.
It's other words that I can't say on the radio,
but I just use those two. They were looking to
(10:33):
develop a nuclear weapon capable of obliterating Israel and at
the heart of it, Tel Aviv. Instead, they're throwing these
rockets at Tel Aviv, and there will be casualties. This
is not a one hundred zero sum game. It's going
to be pretty close. It might be ninety ten favor Israel.
Israel might sustain some casualties civilian and otherwise military as well,
(10:54):
but they have inflicted tremendous damage on Iran in just
the last twenty four hours, and more is coming, and
their intel abounds. It is a bounty of intel that
Israel was able to get in behind enemy lines using
the masade, which is their version ostensibly of the CIA
in our country, Spies on the ground with eyes on
(11:16):
these facilities and the military leaders. Somebody was leaking, and
my best guess this is again this is just me
Layman's terms.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Layman's view, there had to be.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
People on the inside of their Iranian regime that were
sympathetic to the resistance to a potential revolution in Iran
to overthrow the Mullas and the Ayahtola. That would explain
why Israel would have access to such information and have
such precise detail on their military endeavors, moves actions over
the last twenty four hours. Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat Virginia.
(11:49):
He just wanted Israel to give diplomacy a chance to work.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
This is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
The president and the team, by every indication I have,
administration's team was really begging the Prime Minister not to
do this until the diplomatic discussions were done. Again, diplomacy
may not work, discussions may not lead to a productive outcome,
but why torch diplomacy before it's been allowed to succeed.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Diplomacy has been tried by the various administrations in place,
going back to Ronald Reagan. Now, Reagan thought he might
have some political capitals, some headway with the newly installed
regime of the Iyatola Komane. And if you remember in
nineteen seventy nine to eighty, they were holding American hostages.
This was a blight on President Jimmy Carter's record. It
(12:41):
is likely a large reason why he lost. And as
if to mock Jimmy Carter, Iran released those hostages immediately
upon Ronald Reagan being sworn in his president, which raised
a lot of eyebrows. And then came the Iran Iraq
War in which there were no good guys. And this
is the point I always try to make this foreign
policy that we've had many times in our history as
(13:03):
the United States, that the enemy of my enemy as
my friend is simply not true.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
At one time, the.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Enemy of our enemy being our friend was Osama Bin
Laden leading the Afghanistan resistance against the Soviet Union.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
How did that turnout?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
We armed them, We armed Iraq and Saddam Hussein against
the Iranians because we viewed Iraq, a secular dictatorship, as
a lesser of two evils against the Iranian regime. How
did that turn out? We cannot go around the globe
and be the world's police. We can, to a certain
extent to protect our allies, but to go on wars
(13:40):
of adventure, and I would call the moors of misadventure
and nation building and trying to prop up these tin
pot dictator regimes that pop up.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Out of the dark.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
You know, the efforts that we made in Beirut, Lebanon,
in a Nicaragua. These are foolish endeavors. They are fools errands.
And luckily, I think our party, the Republican Party, has
learned from that. That is one of the greatest things
that Donald Trump has contributed to the modern Republican Party
is moving it away from the neo kan warhawks like
(14:10):
Lindsay Graham, Dick Cheney, even George W.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Bush.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And you could understand it in the wake of nine
to eleven, going after Afghanistan because they refused to turn
over Issama bin Laden. But then we got diverted into Iraq.
Why was this revenge for his father and the assassination
attempts against him, the fabrication of a story of weapons
of mass destruction that either didn't currently exist, as Colin
Powell testified before the United Nations that Saddam Hussein did
(14:36):
have mustard gas at one time. That is accurate. That
either it was used, he no longer possessed.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The stockpiles, he moved them somewhere else. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
He wanted other countries to think he had them, but
it was a bluff. There were all kinds of explanations
for this, but nothing that justified the loss of blood
and treasure and military personnel and lives in our incursion
into Iraq, Usia Baghdad, toppling the Saddam Hussein's regime and
killing his two sons as well. We thought that in
(15:07):
its void, democracy would arise in Iraq, and that simply
has not happened. Look at what happened also in Afghanistan,
Khamid Harzaei. Our efforts over twenty years to build a
democracy there failed On one day in the withdrawal authorized
by President Biden. This is all the case evidence we
(15:27):
need to know that there should not be American intervention
in these wars. That is very different, however, from Tim
Kaine's suggestion that somehow we could diplomatically talk our way
out of this that had been tried with Iran since
nineteen seventy nine. That's forty six years ago. And here's
the other ridiculous claim he made.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I think we learned, at our peril we had a
diplomatic deal with Iran that was controlling their nuclear enrichment
false and that subjected them to the most searching inspection
regime in the world.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Also thought Saint President.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
Trump made a huge mistake in tearing them up and
giving around the green light to more and more enrichment.
That's now we're living through that now. But it's never
too late to look for diplomatic options, and I praised
the Trump administration for doing it. Those discussions Sunday were
going to be very high stakes. I'm frankly shocked that
(16:19):
the Israeli Prime Minister would decide that he couldn't wait
three or four days and he wanted to torch diplomacy before
it occurred.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
My goodness, Obama sent them paletts of cash. He reignited
their nuclear program. Donald Trump had starved them out with
oil embargoes and sanctions and made it so it was
impossible for them to fund terrorism throughout the world. It
was Joe Biden that instituted those weak policies that led
to oxygen being provided to Iran, and they were remobilized
(16:49):
and reinvigorated and remotivated for their destruction of Little Satan
Israel and the Great Satan, which is the United States.
While Obama Biden those administrations believe for a moment they
could negotiate in good faith with these state sponsors of
terror is beyond comprehension. But what Donald Trump is doing
(17:10):
right now, to me is genius. It's brilliant. They are
good cop bad copping the Iranians. Net Yahoo gladly playing
the role of bad cop, and that goes on the
military action. Donald Trump giving them an off ramp. He's
the good cop. He's got the carrot. Netanyahu has the stick.
Iran's got a choice now, and their choices are bad
and much much worse. Father's Day coming up on Sunday,

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Side.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
What do you make a mus criticism of?
Speaker 10 (19:43):
Well, it's like I've been saying, you know that the
dams we've been dumping all over musk and vandalizing Tesla's
or whatever, and now suddenly and now we might might
be more back into them, and day it's a psychonds
It's like, you know, he's right about that big, beautiful fill.
I mean, now it's like adding a two and a
half truly in debt. Uh, I mean, it's astonishing. I
(20:04):
can't imagine anyone genuinely think this is like a smart thing.
And that's where we are. And now I was suddenly,
now Musk is right. Well, we were just you know,
going after him for all those months now and showing
up at Tesla dealerships and all those kinds of things.
I do we have to decide, you know, where are
we thinking about him?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Are democrats disingenuous?
Speaker 7 (20:24):
So suddenly finding Evon Musk is their new best friend?
Speaker 10 (20:27):
Well, I'm saying all I'm saying though, it's like he's
right about the Big Beautiful Bill. And now suddenly it
wasn't that long ago that Tesla's was like the virtue
signaling kind of accessory for for Dams as well too.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
So now where we.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
Are on all this kind of a thing, now where
I follow what I is the truth. I would never
want to vandalize Teslas, and and now the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Is wrong for America.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
And so from from my perspective, it's it's like I
just try to be consistent through that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
You got to give him that he is consistent.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I just agree with him on the Big Beautiful Bill,
but that's his position, he has a right to it,
and he correctly points out the Dems can't both love
Elon Musk on the one hand and hate him on
the other.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
For instance.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
While I disagree with a lot of what Senator Fetterman
says does, including his take on the Big Beautiful Bill
and his take that he posted about Senator Alex Padilla,
which was pro wrestling k fabe looking to draw some
heat with a shoot, I agree with him on this
point that you can't go around torching tesla's, keying them
(21:32):
in parking lots, bombing them at dealerships, threatening violence against
Elon Musk, and then all of a sudden he's your
buddy because on one topic where you'd agree with him,
you want to gain some political traction. And John Fetterman,
he's not about that action. That's why we call it
based Fetterman. He is who he is and I could
respect that, and I also respect this take he's given
(21:55):
on the ongoing military conflict that is erupted between Israel
and Iran. He says, quote, our commitment to Israel must
be absolute, and I fully support this attack, Israel going
into Iran and taking out their nuclear facilities, keep wiping
out Iranian leadership and the nuclear personnel. We must provide
whatever is necessary military intelligence weaponry to fully back Israel
(22:18):
in striking Iran. Agree on that point, and I like
Senator Fetterman. I just like him, doesn't mean i'd agree
with him on everything, doesn't mean I wouldn't rather have
a Republican in his place. However, if you had to
have a Democrat, I'm glad it's John Fetterman and not
some other of wacko because this guy, he doesn't have
a filter. But something click back into place poststroke, and
I'm glad for that. And it goes to this Texter's point, Ryan,
(22:41):
I support Israel, but does it matter to you that
they violated the Geneva Convention by targeting civilian scientists? First,
I'm going to need you to show your work. Who
are the sources saying that? Secondly, define civilian scientists, that's
a real kind of sticky wicket when it comes to
Iran that would be serving the regime and researching nuclear
(23:03):
weaponry behind closed doors. Israeli intelligence suggested that they were
on the precipice of developing a nuclear weapon within the
calendar year, if not months away. I don't have any
reason to dispute what Israel thought, reacted to, acted upon.
This would be the same kind of logic that you
would say, you know, we shouldn't be targeting a doctor
(23:25):
Mengela because he's a physician for the Nazis. Come on,
if there's a very not even a loose affiliation, you
can read between the lines here. If they're employing nuclear scientists,
they're continuing to develop these centerfuges and the weaponry within
which they could arm these centerfuges as nuclear weapons, then
(23:46):
that's so called civilian scientists that becomes a fair target
because they are doing the research and continuing with the
development of these arms that would obliterate Israel. So that
would be my response to that. Five seven seven three.
You can text us as well. Be sure to text
us your vote for our Friday Fool of the Week.
We narrowed it down from semi finalists to finalists, and
(24:07):
I'll read those to you one more time.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You heard them an hour number one.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If you're just tuning in, well, you can hit midstride
and still vote for one of these representative Linda Sanchez, Democrat, California.
That was Kelly's pick. She apparently knows what a woman is,
but then plays the woman card, claiming Scott Bessen is
talking over her man's plaining and a congressional hearing in
which she drew groans when she did that, I am
a woman.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I'm so used to being talked over.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
At least you know that you're a woman, though, And
Governor Tim Walls didn't know how to define one. He
didn't even make the cut our other finalists. I mentioned
the k Fabe Pro Wrestling display put on by Senator
Alex Padilla, and I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I said, that's what this was.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
For those of you that grew up in the eighties
and nineties watching the Attitude era in the WWE as
it was then known in the late nineties, Stone called
Steve Austin, the rock or Macho Man, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan,
mister Wonderful Paul Orndorf.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I mean, that's what we're looking at here, That's what
yesterday was. Anybody with a brain can see it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It was a distraction ploy and technique, and Senator Padilla
disgraced himself.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
But maybe not as much as our.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Third Domini, Mark Brown, that's the ABC News anchor in
Los Angeles that said, hey, look sending in law enforcement
may escalate quote just a bunch of people having fun
watching cars burn. Well, our next guest doesn't have fun
watching cars burn, but sometimes in the courtroom he watches
defendants burn. And is that what happened with Mike Lindell?
(25:36):
We check in for the very latest with Jimmy Sangenberger.
He's a columnist, not bed writer for The Gazette and
often a frequent filling host for this program on Ryan
Shuling Live. Jimmy, Welcome, Happy Friday. I know you filled
in for Mandy Connell. I'm putting you on overtime here.
What's the latest on this Mike Lindell trial.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
Well, the disappointing thing about the great thing of filling
in for Mandy or for you or any of our
great colleagues and KOA and kW is that I didn't
get to see the closing arguments today. Finally got the
closing arguments in a trial that began two Mondays ago
(26:14):
with jury selection. Opening arguments were last Tuesday. I caught
about half of that and five days basically of the
eight days of testimony in this trial, and this morning
they had a couple of things where the Lindell team
tried to get the case dismissed by the judge. They
(26:34):
went to jury instructions and then closing arguments, and now
the jury is in deliberation for what Mike Flyndell, the
of course owner of My Pillow and Frank Speech that
are also separately named defendants in this lawsuit. It's a
defamation case in federal court in downtown Denver, so right
(26:54):
here because dominion where the plaintiff, Eric Hoomer, former vice
president used to work as VP, is based in Denver,
and Eric Hoomer's in Denver, so pretty crazy that this
case and other similar cases against Lynn Dell and defamation
or other defendants rather on defamation are based out of Colorado.
(27:19):
So that's sort of the bottom line. This has to
do with claims regarding the twenty twenty election and Eric
Hoomer basically being made into the face of it all
and the villain if you will, that, at least by
implication from a lot of folks, was the guy behind
the false claims of the stolen election that had been
sort of a ring leader instilling the election according to
(27:41):
the false claim.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Follow him on x with the very latest as he
covers this case at Saying Center, Seng Center, ce n
t Er Jimmy Seckenberger our guest. Couple of things about
Mike Lindell himself, Jimmy testimony and I'm not sure if
you were present for this, but apparently there was a
revelation in court in which under oath Mike Lindell admitted
he exaggerated claims about dominion voting systems. And then this
(28:03):
post today praying in court today, this trial is so
important for the future of our country. Prayericon emoji mypillowtrial
dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
We noticed that he had.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
His own network and reporters on the scene as well
covering this trial. Your thoughts on either of those two points.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
Well, first, he didn't by the way I took it.
He said, you can call it hyperbole, right. He didn't
exactly say I was exaggerating, because if he was, he
would have said I didn't really mean that he was
a trader or a criminal. Instead, he used those terms
over the course of a couple of years at various
points of calling Eric Kumer a trader and a criminal,
(28:45):
and what have you, and he did so, at least
in court. He made the argument that Eric Kumer is
what he calls a blocker, and that means that Kuomer
was somehow blocking Lindell being able to get the truth
out out about the twenty twenty election, at least the
truth as he claims it is. Now. The thing is
(29:06):
that Lindell at the same time didn't want to argue
about the twenty twenty elections so much. He had thirty
five people that he claimed were experts that he had
consulted on elections or cyber stuff, and not a single
one of those so called experts testified at all. Lindeale
said in his testimony, which was mostly Monday and Tuesday,
(29:28):
a little bit on Wednesday, that this case is not
about the twenty twenty election. This is about Eric Komer
being a blocker. But in a fabulous display of circular logic,
what was the blocking information about the twenty twenty election, Well,
it was. It was fascinating to sort of watch a
lot of the way in which Lindell tried to present
(29:50):
this in his case. I will also say that in
regards to the mypillowtrial dot com and emails and everything
I did. You saw a picture last week or I
saw him being interviewed, I got a picture of it
outside the courthouse and the actually that was with Lyndell TV.
And that actually led the judge, who I thought has
(30:11):
done a very good job in this case to be
frank you really fair in the trial to basically give
a gag order and say Lindell, you're not supposed to
talk about the case like this, but he could now.
Of course all emails I've been getting them daily, maybe
you have to with promo codes which actually were part
of the trial. And more to Garner's support and financial
(30:35):
aid for Lindell, who may be out forty million dollars
if he loses this lawsuit in the jury gives the
full award.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Wow Saying center on x SCNGS Center Centr for the
very latest as we await a.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Verdict going into the weekend.
Speaker 3 (30:51):

to you again soon.
Speaker 9 (30:59):

about how to save our country. He was much better
at sleeping than we could sleep.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
On a beach.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
He could sleep on a beach with cameras rolling. I
can't do that.
Speaker 3 (32:13):

We have a winner, Kelly has told us. Kelly, who
(32:35):
is that winner for our Friday Fool the Week?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
This is not going to shock you, Yep. Senator Padilla
really edging out Mark Brown.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Here was his sob story after forcing himself to be
removed from a Christine Nome press conference.
Speaker 12 (32:48):
I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room. I
was forced to the grounds, and I was handcuffed. I
was not arrested, I was not detained. I will say this.
If this is how this administration responds to a senator
(33:12):
with a question.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
You the crocodile.
Speaker 12 (33:14):
If this is how the Department of Holland Security responds
to a senator with a question, you can only imagine.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Pause for dramatic effect. Here is what they're.
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Doing to farm workers, to cooks, two day labors out
in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout
the country.
Speaker 12 (33:37):
We will hold this administration.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I count well deserved.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
Senator Alex Badia our Friday fool of the week. This
Texter asking Ryan you still watch pro wrestling.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I watch classic matches from the eighties and nineties, back
when it was fun. It doesn't seem as fun anymore.
And I guess I just got old real quick.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Do not go to the No Kings. I was joking
about that yesterday.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
There is intel that they're going to be posing as
MAGA supporters to try to start stuff. To steer clear
of all of that. That's my advice heading into the weekend.
Happy Father's Day to all of you celebrate. I'm back
with you on Monday with more Ryan Schuling Live
