Speaker 1 (00:05):
The news you need to start your day, and the
bomb Beaches had the Treasure Coast.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
This is the Brian Mud Show. Well, good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Today may not be D Day, but it is a
D day deadline day with Iran as we have continued
to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Moron, bomb bomb bomb
bomb bomb Moran. Oh Am, I supposed to do something here,

(00:41):
so you're you're not going to be a team player again.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
This is where bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. I
don't like singing.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, the biggest thing is just like actually for people
you assume the position long ago. Your version is better
than mine. I do, and so the moment you chose
to do that, you you entered into a commitment of
sorts and then you exited that for a while. And
I just think it's important to continue to illustrate, uh,

(01:10):
the the differences between your version in mind, because today
we still have only heard from Wesley who affords your
version of it. One listener that approves of your version.
Never mind Bob Bob bomb bomb bomb Iran. I just
think is so much better sounding than bomb bomb bomb
bomb bomb Iran. Plus the point that again it's actually

(01:32):
pronounced Iran. I know a lot of people say Iran,
Is that how you actually pronounced the country. That's like
saying nuclear. How do you say that nuclear? No, nuclear,
it's correct nuclear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, just it's yeah,
you have to think to try to say it the
wrong way unless you say it the wrong way way.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Uh So, yeah, it's kind of like that.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, if you say Iran, that's a flock of
sagull song that is not actual country. So that's the
other thing I kind of object to with your version
of it. So why would you want me to sing it?
Because you contested me, like you impugned my version of
it here. I am just supposed trying to provide a
little bit of the entertainment to an otherwise very tense

(02:17):
situation over the course of over a month now, and
you chose to impune it with the version you felt
was superior.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
By the way, Brian, we're under thirteen hours from that deadline.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, so about that box is here.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
At halfern, all of Iran could be taken out in
one night, President Trump says, warning that night could be
to night.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
We have a plan because of the power of our military,
where every bridge in Iran will be decimated.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
The president says he could also order the complete destruction
of all energy plants in Iran. If regime leaders do
not agree to a deal that includes opening the Strait
of horror moves, it.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Will take them one hundred years to rebuild.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
President Trump insists he does not want to order those attacks,
suggesting the US could even get involved with helping Iran
rebuild their country.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Could be ninety nine, but probably more like a hundred. Okay,
so we've had the boats that go boom. Question is tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Our time?

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Will we have all of Iran's bridges go boom? And
the power plans too? Where are you on this show?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I you know, when we started the show, I didn't
know what to say. And then we find out and
you mentioned about the plan that you know, Ron is
asking citizens to what make a human chain around these
power plants?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
So a couple of things here, just to pick up
on what you're talking about that that I've referenced. Let
me walk you through some of the finer points of
this as we're trying to figure out what is going
to happen here. The first, as I mentioned, today really
has to be the day right because from a credibility standpoint,

(04:11):
it's always been nonsense. You have this whole thing out
there that people will talk taco. You know, Trump always caves. Now,
how has Trump been as successful as he's been during
the course of his life if he always caved in
trade deals. These are people who are just riddled with
tds and don't understand things but say stuff. The taco
people he always caves, No in not came and they

(04:33):
started that with the tariffs. What's happened with tariffs? Not
only has Trump kept the tariffs in place, the United
States Supreme Court ended up ruining against the majority of
his tariffs and he ended up fighting another lane to
put him in. So no, certainly did not cave on

(04:53):
the tariffs. Yeah, well, he always caves to the put
out a deadline, then another deadline. Now, as I've explained
the initial forty eight hour thing, going back over two
weeks ago. Now, what happened the forty eight hour thing,
as we were able to see, was to filter out

(05:17):
some Mullahs that would assume a leadership position that country
because we didn't know who the heck to talk to
over there, like we're going to try and negotiate something
who because they're all dead and Trump, but had been
saying pre seeing that the itola's dead, the supreme leader,
the people that like wash his feet are dead. The

(05:37):
people that ended up, you know, taking care of the
facilities for the people who were washing the feet of
said supreme leader, they're dead.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
They're all dead. And so we don't know who we're
talking to.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
So first thing is, okay, let's find some people that
say they are in charge now. And so that happened,
and so then you got the five day okay, and
then during the five day extension, Trump said that is
contingent upon talks moving forward. Well, what happened all during

(06:10):
that five week, five day period you had the Iran
state media say their new negotiations taking place.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
No, no negotiations happen here.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Meanwhile, what ended up taking place, Well, the Trump administration
was trying to identify if the people they were talking
to were actually legit. Are these just some mullahs that
were down the line quite a bit that are pretending
that they have power, pretending that they have jews to
implement policy, or are they actually in a position of

(06:41):
authority to exact outcomes that we might negotiate with them?
And so President Trump devised the test, what was the test?
Let some tankers through this stray of hormose, and so
they said, we will allow eight tankers of oil through
the straight of four moves. Trump said, We're going to

(07:03):
do ten, and we did ten, and they all went
through and none of them got hit. And that way
Trump knew, Yeah, these are the people we need to
negotiate with.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
So that's what played out all during that first week
period with that first deadline. Then these new bullows in
charge said, give us seven days so we can negotiate here.
And Trump, as he indicated yesterday, said give them ten.

(07:33):
And that took us to where we are now, except
that it turned out to be eleven because this Trump
said in the press of yesterday he didn't think it
was appropriate to blow everything up.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
And are on the day after Easter. So there's that.
So it became eleven and that takes us to where
we are today.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
But what all throughout this process, after those initial tankers
went through, what Trump said, is you give us tankers
through that straight every single day, so we know you
are still negotiating with us in good faith and that
you are still the people that are in charge in
Iran and so every this stuff doesn't even get reported.
Everything I've said up to this point, everything that I

(08:12):
will say now, you never hear this get reported anywhere.
But this is what's actually been happening. Well, people are
Trump's caving and Trump's lost his mind on two oil
tankers per day every single day have been getting through
that straight while everything you've heard going on has been happening.
You have two oil tankers per day to get through
that straight. And that is how Trump knows that these

(08:35):
people are still negotiating in good faith, which he mentioned
they're negotiating good faith, He said that at the presser yesterday,
and that they are still the people in charge and
they haven't been knocked off by some other people in
Iran or maybe accidentally taken out by the Trump administration
or Israel. So that's how we get here, okay, and

(08:57):
then you come to today. So this really has to
be the deadline. There's no wandering around it. So as
we kind of take a look at how things could
shape up today, Fox businesses Connor Hansen.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Aron's parliamentary speaker has pushed back, warning that the region
could burn and accusing the US of dragging families into
a living hell if things escalate further. Today, the President
told reporters the Iranians made a proposal that wasn't good enough,
but that it was a significant step.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
The first regime was taken out, the second regime was
taken out.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Now the third group of people that we're dealing with
is not.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
As radicalized, and we think they're actually much smarter.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
And now the president is also getting a lot of
questions about rising oil prices. The average cost of gas
across the country is now above four dollars a gallon.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Right, So a couple of keys there. The first is
what he's talking about. Looks hope you might have gotten
to some people that are radicalized. Remember, one of the
big problems with the Iran senior leadership that used to
get together in chant debt to Israel, debt to a
man America, is that they actually believe that if they
wash the world in blood, then you get their great

(10:09):
Allah Muhammed thing out of a well. And that's like good, Okay.
These people are out to lunch in so many different ways,
these evil Islamic terrorists. They believe the AmAm comes out
from a well and and praise be to Allah. As
Trump said, on Friday or on Sunday, on Easter morning.
So you got to get to the people who are like, hey,

(10:31):
we're not looking for the the AmAm Weld situation here.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I don't even get a laugh out of that out
of you for that, Joe, not.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I just I never heard about this well thing.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, well, if you're not versed in.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
This dynamic, then you're not familiar with what we're dealing
with there. For there again one of the things and
I'm not going to have the time here and I'm
not going to get into, you know, the full ball
of wax and involves what they have been trying to
exact here. But if you don't understand the Koran, and
if you don't understand interpretations of it on top of

(11:10):
what is explicitly there, then you've never understood anything since
nine to eleven. It's the reason that we were so
ignorant leading up to nine to eleven. It's the reason
that we've continued to have problems persist with all of
these Islamic terror groups that continue, whether it's al Qaeda,
or whether it's been ISIS or Boca Haram, the Muslim Brotherhood,

(11:32):
you name it, it's because it's right there in the book.
It's the Koran. As I mentioned in my takeaways yesterday,
this is still about Islam. Now people want to say,
whatever God you want to believe in.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
No.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Now, First of all, there is one true God, period,
and no, not in some well, not some of a
mom that's going to come out of a well. And
you look this up in your own time, Joe, I
see the look in your face.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
There's a lot of stuff that's crazy about a religion
that says if everybody who doesn't believe as you do,
you need to go behead, among other things. But beheading
is like a preferred method of doing things. Yeah, that
is insane. That's why I say it's not okay. Whatever
religion you believe in, Jesus Christ is my Lord Savior.
This country is founded on Judeo Christian values. I'm sorry.

(12:23):
Outside of that, I mean, it's a free country. You're
welcome to believe what you want to believe, as long
as you don't hurt other people with it. But quite literally,
the religion of Islam in the Koran calls for people
to harm other people. I have a problem with that,
and I would like people actually to go towards Christ

(12:44):
in the first place.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's my mission here, So not sorry about that either.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
That's just the difference with But then you get into
speak of the God. Yet a lot of amazing things
go down the rescue. A lot of that was depicted
yesterday during that press conference fox Is Kevin Cork.

Speaker 7 (13:07):
President Trump called it one of the largest, most complex,
most heroin combat searches in US history, and one that
will certainly go down in the books.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding this
pilot and the CIA was unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (13:23):
CIA director John Ratcliffe suggested that the Iranians were frankly
embarrassed and even humiliated by the mission, one that also
included a deception campaign that led to the safe and
remarkable rescue of a pair of American aviators shot down
over Iran last week.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
And about the operational details.

Speaker 8 (13:42):
One of the two F fifteen E crew members has
already been transferred to Landstool, the US military's premier medical
facility in Germany, and the other was expected to be
flown there before heading to Walter Reed. The US military
meanwhile put nine warplanes over an area away from the
second airman to the Iranians, but not everything. When as planned,

(14:02):
a highly trained A ten Warthog pilot took fire, but
somehow managed to steer his crippled plane back to Kuwaiti airspace,
where he managed a controlled crash of the plane ejecting
and then then being rescued himself, and two MC one
thirty transport aircraft got stuck in the sand and had
to be blown up from their air so that sensitive

(14:24):
equipment did not fall into enemy hands.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Just incredible.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I mean, you're talking about something that a movie will
be made out of. The first words, by the way,
when how whatever device it is that was not disclosed,
that was communicated from the aviator that had been in
that mountain area for forty eight plus hours injured Scott

(14:52):
is good. I mean, that's nothing quite like it. So
all kinds of amazing stories that came out of that.
But okay, so back where we started, eight o'clock Eastern time.
Stay tuned. We'll see what happens between here and there.
Your reference is something that I talked about and now
is being widely reported at the onset of the show,

(15:13):
which is I don't know that there is a ton
of room for optimism that anything's going to change with
Iran at this point because they are calling on their
people to become human chains around their power planes. And
the whole idea, of course, is that you have had
the UN Secretary General and NATO and all these If

(15:38):
you bomb the bridges and the power plants, that's a
violation of international law, and UN Secretary General said they'll
immediately begin an investigation and a referral and you know
for war crimes and all this kind of stuff. The
Left's already losing its mind over it. So you have
Iran that is trying to play into this and weaponize,
use their people to kind of you know, try to

(16:00):
arg to weaponize this situation.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It doesn't necessarily.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Mean, remember the Iranian people overwhelmingly do not want this government.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Doesn't mean they're going to do it.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
But the problem becomes, what if you I mean you
talk about a rock and a hard place. There's a
really good chance you're going to have the Iron Revolutionary
Guard go home to home and with guns and say
you get out there and you do this human chain thing,
or we shoot you right here.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Your choice.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
So I do think there's a good chance that kind
of thing happens, which we talk about complicating factors, then
what do you do? Because certainly President Trump doesn't want
to blow up a bunch of innocent Iranians, so we
will see, you know, it's it could just be Iran's
negotiation tactic against Trump's best negotiation tactic. One thing I'll

(16:49):
tell you is that in real time this morning, if
you're playing like, hey, what are the financial markets? Where
is their money on this? You know, money is often
you know, sentiment on things. You have oil that's up
another two dollars a barrel to almost one fifteen this morning,
and stock market futures are lower, not like hugely lower,

(17:10):
but they are lower, and so there is a slight pessimism,
in other words, about a deal getting done today.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
That's kind of where we stand.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
And one more happier note here about Artemis before we leave.
The history was made yesterday fox Is granalsca less.

Speaker 9 (17:28):
Than a week into their space journey around the Moon.
Astronauts read Wiseman, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Cook, and Victor Glover
rewrote history. Hanson said, we do so in honoring.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
The extraordinary efforts and feats of our predecessors in human
space exploration.

Speaker 9 (17:44):
It eclipsed the miles travel by Apollo thirteen fifty six
years ago. The crew circled behind the Moon, out of
reach of mission control, truly on their own. Then Christina
Cook checked in integrity.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Com check integrity.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
We have you, loud and clear.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
Next stop, splash down off the coast of San Diego
in just a matter of days.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Pretty amazing.
