Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm not feeling good about it.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
On the memorandum of understanding fourteen points President Trump announced
today when he was still in France. Effect, he's in
France now. He's went over to the hang out to
night Versailles. Not nearly as gilded as some of the
Trump properties or the White House, but it's nice at
any rate. Mark Larson here in news radio six hundred COGO,
(00:25):
as you've been hearing the news coverage unfolding today about
the coming agreement, and again they're supposed to officially sign
this on Friday. At this point, maybe there's something that
I don't understand here, but I agree with a whole
lot of people on the right of center who are
saying this isn't that if you're going to deal with
(00:47):
these mulla's whatever's left from the potentates and the impotentates.
And I will give this again to Trump. He's made
sure that a lot of the worst leaders there are dead.
But there's a lot of talk about the trust and
we're going to see you the next thirty or sixty days.
And he said today, if they don't stick to the
agreement as we go along, he'll quote bomb the hell
(01:10):
out of them. It's interesting watching some of the detractors,
even on the Republican side, but especially on the left.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know, they go from he shouldn't be doing a war.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Of choice to supposedly get rid of the nuclear threat,
and then when he doesn't bomb the bleep out of him,
then they're upset that he's trying to make nice because
it's whatever the opposite is.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So I've got that. I'm just conflicted.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Are you eight hundred and six hundred, Coco or open
the iHeartRadio app, find Coco, tap the red talkback Mike,
send us a voice message. You get up to up
to thirty seconds. You know, day before yesterday, we're talking
about how the word out of Washington was soon very soon.
Are men and women in uniform, many from San Diego,
from our area serving over there. They could be home
(01:58):
sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Not I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You got some people, including some Republicans in name only,
some Conservatives, some heavy duty MAGA hawks, saying things like
Reagan is rolling over Will in his grave. There's another quote,
worst foreign policy blunder in decades. Marco Rubio, the Secretary
(02:23):
of State, was there alongside President Trump today in France
when he announced a lot of this. There's a lot
being made of Rubio being quiet for the last two
days in the media. They say that's flashing red sign
that something else is up. So we do know that
the Iranian leaders cannot be trusted anywhere, anytime anyhow.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But I'm not an expert on this. I'm an armchair.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Expert to a smaller extent, but a local national security
expert who's worked for years in the Middle East for
the Institute on Global Inflict and Cooperation ron B is
with us. Ron, you and I have talked about this
sort of thing with Iron coming and going for years,
and I'm getting whiplash. Is this different or are we
(03:12):
having deja vous again? What is this right now?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, your instincts there are largely right, Mark. I see
this as a candle of hope in the middle of
a minefield. You know, you can ask if this is
a trust building or a tactical pause exercise, and time
will just have to tell on it, because there's so
many ways that this can go sideways. And I think
(03:35):
the important thing to still remember is the United States
still holds all the cards, and that is economically and
militarily in the region. The issue is will will the
fourteen points actually be doable because of spoilers. The first
point looks at Lebanon and says that all fighting in
(03:57):
Lebanon must stop, but that's not necessarily in the Israeli interests.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They occupy one.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Fifth of the country and have been destroying the leadership
in Beirut over the last couple of days, and Netanya
always said, we will do what we need to do
in order to secure Israel. Imagine if San Diego had
received fifteen hundred missiles over the last three months, we
all had to evacuate Testcondido or further north, and we
(04:24):
were asked to stop leveling, level leveling Tijuana, where the
missiles came from. We've flat in the place. So the
Israelis have a right to their national security. And this
is really one of the biggest areas that I see
in point number one of the fourteen points, that there
can't be any violence in Lebanon, and that happens to
(04:47):
be one of one of Rand's biggest proxies. Hezbola is
its charter says we take orders from Iran.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So right, you got Hesbala, you have Hamas, you have
all these proxies goes back again the forty seven year
war started by Iran and the first of the Ayatolas
and the hostages from the US, including Richard Morefield from
San Diego back in nineteen seventy nine. So it's a
long ongoing war, which again when people say, well Trump
said no new wars, this is definitely not a new war.
(05:17):
It's been run through proxies in many cases for many years.
Ron b with US security experts, especially with regard to
the Middle East. So I got to think you touched
on it there that maybe this is a sort of
a calculated pause and what's different this time as opposed
to the deal with Obama, and there was a lot
of debate, and the President talked about it today. The
(05:38):
money that was given from Obama Biden in terms of
the money that may go back to Iran if they
play nice with this again, big differences. You've got a
lot of the leaders who are dead, and there's also
the willpower and we've seen this definitively in recent months
and even a year ago that if they don't play nice,
it's not just going to be let's do another diplomatic thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
The presidents. We'll just bomb the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Crap out of them, So that's possible, and then there's
going to be the rub because you know, the Iranian
leaders are going to try it and see if he does,
and that'll be the next thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I mean, there are a lot of things that
can go wrong. We have the opening of the strait
of horror. Moves was some there were some shots fired
by the Iranians day and you notice during that initial
cease fire there was a lot of shooting going on.
So this is going to extend for another two months.
If there's the same amount of shooting going on, you're
(06:32):
going to have to wonder which direction we're heading in.
I note that jd Vance made the circuit at CNN
and Fox News even the view to talk about that
this deal is all performance based, that no money goes
not a single cent goes to them if they don't
(06:52):
change their behavior, and that's going to be difficult for
the IRGC that reports only to the Ayatola and the molas,
not the politicians who make deals. So the real question
is is this something that the economy has collapsed to
a certain point that even the IRGC is having to reassess.
(07:15):
It's forty seven year old ideals of Islamic revolution and
death to America and death Israel. Excuse us if we
have some skepticism in that regard, but that's one of
the one of the obstacles that the president is going
to have to overcome in the next sixty days. The
(07:35):
most important, which, of course, no nuclear weapons, and there's
no real deal on that yet either that's just an agreement.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
To it's an agreement to talk about an agreement over
the next sixty days. There was nothing in these points,
and people will saying, let's see if it's spelled out
in there that we need the nuclear dust, you know,
the enriched uranium, all of that that's not in there.
That presumably evolves over the next sixty days. Once they
signed this, I guess they've done DOCU signed virtually but
Friday in Pakistan, then they'll come up with that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We say, we.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Hear some official signing, but we've seen this before and
I don't trust. I've seen no reason to trust the
leadership in Iran on anything.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You're right, So here we go again.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well, and let's let's talk about the Strait of Hormuz.
They're going to have to locate the mines. I bet
there have been some discussions with the British and the
French and the Germans about that, because they have mine
sweepers they and they have and they have to keep
open the straight without seas. There was even a discussion
(08:42):
one of the points, well that's something to be determined later.
Are we going to allow the Iranians and the Omanis
to charge a fee? Well, it doesn't affect us so much.
It's certainly with the Europeans and the Indians and the Pakistanis.
But that's in there, I think is as ap to
the Europeans. Okay, you didn't help us out, so we're
(09:02):
not going to cover your interest. But we'll see the
It requires violence to stop in Lebanon, and the hawks
in Israel, Iran and dare I say, the US want
to keep fighting, so we'll see see how that ends up.
The key here is, you know, Iran is at the
(09:26):
point of economic collapse. Yeah, seventy inflation, they were losing
five hundred million a day.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, that's a good leverage. Reagan used that, as you know.
Reagan used that with the Soviet Union. Make it difficult
and then it collapses under its own weight. That's a
good strategy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yes, I know, yeah, I know. I was in the
Reagan Pentagon when that happens. I'm very familiar with yeah strategies. So,
but if the Iran is allowed to sell oil, do
they rebuild their military sites or civilian infrastructure. I will
clearly have to be watching from space and I'll elsewhere
and on the ground is to see if this performance
(10:04):
based incentive program will work. So there's a lot of
skepticism that it's all dependent on Iran coming through on
this and based on past performance, I wouldn't invest in it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Ron b national security expert, worked in the Middle East
for many, many years Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
He's based right here in San Diego. You know, one
of the quotes being couted repeatedly on CNN and NBC
is a whole bit Trump defends around having missiles. He
says it's unfair if others can have them. Well, that's
in the context of at some point, not tomorrow morning, right,
(10:42):
if they play nicely.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But there is no mention in the fourteen points whatsoever
of reducing their ballistic missile inventory. Although I hear that
eighty five to ninety percent of it has been reduced
by us.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Already, right, and that's the thing that these are remember,
we have brought that way back. So and that's why
when Barack Obama as former president comes out and he
was saying yesterday, well, it was kind of when it
all said and done, it's kind of like the.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Deal we did.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Now there are some differences including, you know a lot
of the bad guys being dead and much of their
arsenal being.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Discribed is gone.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
The Navy's gone, you know, their listening posts are are gone,
and you know a certain percentage of of the in fact,
three tiers of leaders are gone. So that's that's a
really important issue. Now, to what degree did the leaders
actually have control over the military and the IRGC in
(11:38):
particular the arteesh The regular military is not getting paid,
so that could be helpful to causing chaos. But if
that money gets redistributed again, if the straight straight opens
and there's an open question that this is this going
to go to sustain the regime? What a out? What
(12:00):
about the phrase help is on the way to the
forty thousand people who are dying in the streets in
January and February. They're going to have to wait for
a while if we're going to allow that money to
go back into the pockets of the i RG.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I would love to see the Iranian people, the Persian
people come out and actually be liberated through this, and
not that we're into nation building, but if now's not
the time for something to get rid of these religious
zelot mullas, I don't know when the time would be,
so obviously every minute is critical. We'll see what transpires
the next couple of days. Ron B appreciate the update.
(12:38):
The insight is always Thank you, sir, be safe.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Thank you Mark for having me. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
That's rond B here in San Diego, local national security expert.
Worked in the Middle East for many years and the
Pentagon as well the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
A lot of questions, how are you feeling about this? Good?
Disturbed off. I'm kind of a mix of a.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Lot of things in this around de other no deal,
having a sense of days ever. News Radio six hundred
co go live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
First of all, the thing is more than a more
of a blunder than what Obama did by giving them
all that out of the cash and more of a
blunder than what Biden did giving Ukraine free money in
Afghanistan withdraw debacle. Jud let's go Trump, He's going to
finish this. He already started it. It's going down in history, USA.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Baby, all right?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So is President Trump playing forty chess as people like
to say, or is it something else? I will say this,
The opposition, including some within the Republican Party, have a
lot of different levels, including the Rhinos, the Republicans of
name only, some of the usual bunch, some of the media.
They're hopping on this. You got a lot of people
(13:53):
cheering for America to lose. And then the same people
when it looks like okay, if they say this is
a surrender, this agreement that is in the making with
Iran after they've been so decimated on so many levels,
or at least the majority of their ability, and a
whole lot of bad guys from the Iotola on down,
all the potentates, the impotentates, most of them dead. Very
(14:16):
different than what Obama Biden had back in the day.
But if it's almost like some people are cheer on
one hand, they're saying Trump is chickening out. If this
was Tuesday, they'd say it's Taco Tuesday, and Trump always
chickens out and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Right, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's fun watching some of the doves, the ones you know,
peace at all costs, who just you know, they would
have been there the beaches of Normandy reporting for MSNBC
if it was around back then in the nineteen forties
and World War Two. They say, this isn't going well,
let's just let Hitler have what he wants. And they're
the same ones now saying, well, Trump's Trump's giving the
Iranians what they want. The same people who said, how
(14:58):
dare he go in and bomb the crap out of him?
Now it appears they're saying, because he's not bombing the
crap out of them right now, they're upset with upset
with that too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm getting whiplash.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's just me doctor Larson here, Yeah, Mark Larson, board
certified quack. That's the only doctor thing I get myself
a doctrine. It's the season, you know, the commencement and
all that. News radio six hundred Cogo. Some of the
headlines was the Obama deal better Trump humiliation Mulla's keep missiles.
Iran orders Israel out of Lebanon. Yeah, that's not going
(15:30):
to work, Maga hawk mutiny. Well, this doesn't mean everybody's turning,
but people are asking questions. Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Green,
you know some of the who else is Bill Cassidy,
who was on the crap list and got bumped out.
(15:50):
You know, Trump endorsed the contender against Cassidy, and Cassidy's
out as Senator.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He won't be in the next election.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He was defeat in May because Trump endorsed one of
the appointments. So Cassidy's out there today. To anybody who listen, going,
this is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well, maybe it is. I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I think there's a lot of conflicting stuff going on
right now because of the nature of all of this.
I'd love to know what's in Marco Rubio's head right now,
because he's been kind of quiet last couple of days.
But Trump knows, even on his craziest trumpy what the
hell is he doing moments on the truth social he
(16:35):
knows you can't trust the Iranian leaders. There's a whole
psychological game going on here. So on the one hand,
if people will do Trump's crazy in both the twenty
fifth Amendment, well he's the president. Okay, this is where
we are. Elections have consequences. You and I would both
like to get this thing over right. Oil prices are
(16:57):
going down already in the middle of all this. It
is like, well you see the cost per barrel. It
was like one hundred bucks a couple of weeks ago,
and it's found like in the low seventy bucks range today.
You'll see that at your corner fielding station soon. So
there's a lot of huffing and puffing right now. And
Peter Doucy over at Fox News on location in France
(17:19):
at the g seventh summit with Trump today, So what's
the difference though, Obama giving all the palettes of cash
to the regime in Iran as opposed to what you're
saying about releasing some money, and Trump said, well, if
they play nicely, they'll get this back.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We're unfreezing their money.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And the argument is that under Trump under Obama versus
Trump under Obama and Biden, they were throwing new money
at bad whatever. Pallets of cash on the tarmac remember
that that's a little bit of a semantic dance. Love
to know what you think. Eight hundred and six hundred coco,
(17:59):
especially if you are involved in the military, your family
and numbers of the military.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Eight hundred six hundred COG.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
This is Mark from San Diego. Do we have to
wait for another World Trade Center? It's been twenty five
years and they've been chanting death to America for forty
seven Do we have to wait for another nine to
eleven before we take action? God bless trump Man. Proactive dude.
You know the guy's really doing his thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thanks, thank you, Mark, and good name.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And the dog apparently concurs Were they sitting at a
bar like Leland was talking about that last hour of people,
you know, taking the dogs and it's sitting on.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
A bar stool.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You may get a lot of good wisdom from your dogs,
better than some people who talked to posters. Mark Larson
here news radio six hundred COG. Eight hundred, six hundred
COGO is our number. If you want to join in
eight hundred and six hundred COG or on the iHeartRadio app.
Open the iHeart app you find COG like he did,
you tap the red talkback.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Mike sent us a voice message.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Bottom line is we finally heard what was in the
memorandum of understanding at this point constantly subject to change,
and then it's the agreement to agree some more and
talk some more for sixty days. Once they signed this officially,
I guess they've docu signed it or something virtually. But
on Friday in Pakistan, and then the waiting game begins
and President Trump says on one side, if they don't
(19:24):
follow along this time, we'll start bombing the crap out
of them again.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And you know he means that you have the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Detractors, including some Republicans, but certainly the left getting all
wrapped up and getting whiplashed because on one hand, you know,
they hated it when he went in and got aggressive
with them, including June of last year, starting to take
out a lot of their ability, and then of course
over the last three and a half almost four months,
even more definitive. Now, does iron have some power left?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is most of it gone? Absolutely? So that's what's different. Well,
it's no different, and Obama. Obama said that yesterday, I
think it's all done. It's going to be kind of
like mine. No, not really, because for one thing, there
were I many bad guys got killed off.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now the Son of the Iatola sounds like a.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Bad horror movie Son of the Iyatola from International Pictures
in black and white. So yeah, people say, no, the
Obama deal was better. Really, how was that better? Did
the Obama deal help or hinder in terms of the proxies?
You look back to October seventh in Israel. That's almost
(20:33):
what three years ago now.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
During Biden and Harris. You may remember Kamala Harris. It's
happy hours, not available for comments. So what's been what's
been happening from all the proxies from Iran? Make the
case that Obama's deal wasn't better. But I know Lou Penrose,
(20:58):
one of our fellow talk show hosts here on news
Radio six hundred Cogo, he just sent me a text
during during the break All this is nonsense. The United
States was never under any threat from Iran. I would say, well,
wait a minute, We've been under threat from them through
proxies and a lot of other creative and horrible ways
over the last forty seven years, including the taking of
(21:18):
hostages in nineteen seventy nine, Dick Morefield State Department official
who lived here in San Diego. That was a painful
time I was here. Then it was four hundred and
forty four days of captivity. And Lou, with all due
respect to LOUI said, if we were under threat, we
would have preemptively struck with nuclear force in nineteen seventy nine,
(21:40):
like we did the Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Well, maybe I
think right now we're again. Here's the dilemma for Trump.
Let's say we go through with this. I'm willing to
do as Reagan said, trust but verify. I don't like
this agreement because so much is still undone. It's evolving
over sixty days, and the track wreck for the whatever
(22:01):
leaders are left some missing limbs and other important body parts.
They have not proven themselves strustworthy on anything for forty
seven years. But I think that Trump more than anything,
and any one, whether you agree or disagree, try to
(22:23):
set us aside the Orange Man bad stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's got to stick to this that if they if
they deviate, if they play their usual game, we agree,
but not we're not going to agree.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And now we're gonna mess with you.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And we didn't really mean it about the nuclear weapons
and they're not going to give you the enriched uranium,
so too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, then you bomb the hell out of them again,
not the people. That's the tricky part. You go to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Carg Island, you go to strategic places that have not
yet been decimated. But this is where you get the
big debate. I thought we you know, again from the
left mostly, I thought we we got rid of their ability,
not one hundred percent middle this there's a whole lot
of people cheering for America to fail, and more importantly,
(23:09):
they want to have Trump fail. Even if you can't
stand Trump, I don't want America to fail. I didn't
like where we were going under previous administrations, Republican and Democrat.
I think, you know, when Obama was drawing the red
lines in Syria, Oh there's coming weapons over this red line,
We're going to do something, and then they'd draw another red
(23:31):
line and another red line and just kept moving the
red line. Unfortunately, what the the crazies in charge of
the government and around, not the Irounian the people, the
Persian people, but the leaders who have kept their people
under their oppressive religious zealop crazy sums for almost fifty years.
(23:58):
They only understand blunt force. They pretend they do negotiation.
They don't. They're used to getting away with murder, literally
playing ropa dope. We've seen this through the whole process.
You have one faction saying we're gonna have an agreement,
and then somebody goes on TV says this is not
(24:18):
an acceptable agreement and death to America and then off
to the missiles into Lebanon from Hesbelah, the Iranian Mulla's
being the puppeteers, the puppets being Hesbelah or Hamas. Check
it out around the girl. Well, why are they a threat?
Because they've been a threat. They've been a threat every day.
(24:38):
Now were they close to a nuclear weapon or dirty
nukes or some kind of improvised explosive nuke style? I
think most likely? Do we have evidence?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The White House probably knows a how I hope they
know more than we do. Oh, the American people need
to know, do we.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
America? Thank God? Capital g America.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Coming up on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
this representative republic, not a democracy, small D representative republic.
We the people right, but we elect people to do
their jobs. And now fueled by social media. It's all
about well, that's just you know, nothing's perfect. I don't
(25:25):
know why anybody, regardless of party, would want to be
president because you're never right. There's always a legion out
there only caring about clicks on stupid social media we
live with. I use it to, I know, but this
is life and death. This is free world versus tyranny.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
You just suck it up to Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No, I'm again if you listen to the show Mark
Larson here on Cogo. I'm very conflicted about this deal.
What we now know, what the President said today is
exactly what I was afraid it would be, which is
not enough teeth in the deal. I know the Obama
deal wasn't better, but yeah, a lot of people should
be cheering for America for freedom, freedom for those who
(26:13):
have been oppressed in Iran, for free people around the world,
and they're cheering for America to lose.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Especially Trump because the Orange Man. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Really eight hundred and six hundred Cogo of your thoughts
or open the iHeart radio app you find Coco, tap
the red talkback Mike, send us a voice message and
make us your number one preset there on Cogo when
you're there on the app and on your car radio.
She's Radio six hundred Cogo Alive and the iHeart Radio apps.
Earlier today, we had a brush fire a half acre
in Grantville. We covered that for you here on Cogo
(26:49):
News San Diego Riverbed. Then I think we've had a
couple other fires this week that just happened to be
around intersections of freeways. Last week it was the in
a valley fire, fires bursting out in ravines.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh what could it be? You know what I know?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Most often it's encampment fires from urbann outdoorsman, especially when
you don't hear from authorities.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But we're investigating.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Unless this time of the year we start having weeds
just starting to burst into flame. God end it all
had a rough day as a weed burst into flame.
Mark Larson here News Radio six hundred Coco Live on
the iHeartRadio app eight hundred, six hundred Cogo. It's got
a Bob Santa Cedro. Hello Bob, thanks for being patient.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I'd like to say a few things to you, mister
know it all?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, sure to know it all?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Tony, I can go.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I'm not sure about this. Do you have your own show? Bob.
By the way, have you been all pent up.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Things about it? You let me finish for a minute.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Well, it's my show, so I'm trying to find out.
We don't have an hour, Bob.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Well, I'm trying to save it. I'm trying to save
this country.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And by the way, I give it to Democrats more
than I give it to Republicans.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That they're an apt that they people like they need
movie stars. As of Joe Biden, he's too old. Kamala Harris, who.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Is the way?
Speaker 6 (28:18):
She's still running again?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But I love to give.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
It to you. I've been waiting you. You don't know
which way it's going now.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh I don't top ohill right now?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And I have friends that work for trips hour.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Sure you do, Sure you do?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Did you work in the media and then got fired
a few times and you're just ticked off to me? No, Bob,
you listen to me. It's my show, Bob. If you're
going to play in my sandbox, be civil. What a dumbass?
That's French? Good lord? Just you know people, people? Can
(28:55):
you feel the love tonight?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No? I tried, I tried to let it. I want
to find out what's there? He obviously doesn't like my show.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
He has been calling since Leland's show. He is, yeah,
and then I've just been putting him on hold and he.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
So, in other words, I sense that we're mister know
it all because we're assertive and we are doing shows.
He doesn't have a show, so he's pissed off about that.
And uh, then at the same time he moves into
full know it all mode by complaining that we're coming
(29:32):
off as know it alls.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
You listen to me, you listen to me, Mark Lars.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That's right, Bob, Bob. I'd love to know Bob's pedigree. Yeah,
I appreciate it. And when he got out of the home, well,
I'm just just curious.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
We are here to help you with your mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Co Go Radio. What's our number of people need mental
health help? What's the not the hotline?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Er?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
No, don't call, don't call Tim. I tried.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He's he's been tormenting you all day, Yes, he has.
And anytime people treat my people are people on the show.
I got a problem with that. So I thought, let's
give Bob his say. Bob could have had if you
want to have a conversation, we could have if that's
his real name. We could have had a nice back
and forth until he said, you listen to me and
(30:25):
then drop the F bomb.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You drop an F bomb.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
I just want to thank you for taking that call
and how you handled it.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
That's radio, that is live radio. It's always respectable. I
should have called him mister dumbass rather than just you know,
see what I've found over the years.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Anytime you get something like that that you will find
that they were in broadcasting one time.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know. Rarely I find that maybe I didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Give somebody a job back in the day and they've
just been pent up ever since, blaming the unblameable for
their own inadequacies. We wish you well, Bob, and I
hope you get some help. Eight hundred and six hundred Coco.
That's our number. Can't wait till tomorrow's show.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Well what's happening tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't know. I'm sure he'll call back again. Oh.
Please know.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
There have only been in my fifty years in radio
in San Diego as of last Friday, only maybe five
or six people like that. Because I get along with everybody,
yes you do. But when they come in hot like
that and I try to give them a little placer,
(31:40):
and I rarely, you know, so I've had five or six,
maybe seven people over the years that I've had to
just dump because they didn't play by the rules.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Same thing on social media.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
If they're going to come to my social media that
I personally curate as it is, they need to play
nicely in the sandbox. If they don't, I blocked them.
I maybe blocked a total of fifty teen people on
social media because that is an egregious air if they
want to come and do this or if it's inappropriate,
and make that go away.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But I won't block them until they go into a
full dim ball blade.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
That's the worst one so far since I've been doing
this with you, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Thanks all right, Well he should stay tuned. Coast to
Coast gets weirder coming up after eight
I'm not feeling good about it.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
On the memorandum of understanding fourteen points President Trump announced
today when he was still in France. Effect, he's in
France now. He's went over to the hang out to
night Versailles. Not nearly as gilded as some of the
Trump properties or the White House, but it's nice at
any rate. Mark Larson here in news radio six hundred COGO,
(00:25):
as you've been hearing the news coverage unfolding today about
the coming agreement, and again they're supposed to officially sign
this on Friday. At this point, maybe there's something that
I don't understand here, but I agree with a whole
lot of people on the right of center who are
saying this isn't that if you're going to deal with
(00:47):
these mulla's whatever's left from the potentates and the impotentates.
And I will give this again to Trump. He's made
sure that a lot of the worst leaders there are dead.
But there's a lot of talk about the trust and
we're going to see you the next thirty or sixty days.
And he said today, if they don't stick to the
agreement as we go along, he'll quote bomb the hell
(01:10):
out of them. It's interesting watching some of the detractors,
even on the Republican side, but especially on the left.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know, they go from he shouldn't be doing a war.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Of choice to supposedly get rid of the nuclear threat,
and then when he doesn't bomb the bleep out of him,
then they're upset that he's trying to make nice because
it's whatever the opposite is.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So I've got that. I'm just conflicted.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Are you eight hundred and six hundred, Coco or open
the iHeartRadio app, find Coco, tap the red talkback Mike,
send us a voice message. You get up to up
to thirty seconds. You know, day before yesterday, we're talking
about how the word out of Washington was soon very soon.
Are men and women in uniform, many from San Diego,
from our area serving over there. They could be home
(01:58):
sooner rather than later.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Not I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
You got some people, including some Republicans in name only,
some Conservatives, some heavy duty MAGA hawks, saying things like
Reagan is rolling over Will in his grave. There's another quote,
worst foreign policy blunder in decades. Marco Rubio, the Secretary
(02:23):
of State, was there alongside President Trump today in France
when he announced a lot of this. There's a lot
being made of Rubio being quiet for the last two
days in the media. They say that's flashing red sign
that something else is up. So we do know that
the Iranian leaders cannot be trusted anywhere, anytime anyhow.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But I'm not an expert on this. I'm an armchair.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Expert to a smaller extent, but a local national security
expert who's worked for years in the Middle East for
the Institute on Global Inflict and Cooperation ron B is
with us. Ron, you and I have talked about this
sort of thing with Iron coming and going for years,
and I'm getting whiplash. Is this different or are we
(03:12):
having deja vous again? What is this right now?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, your instincts there are largely right, Mark. I see
this as a candle of hope in the middle of
a minefield. You know, you can ask if this is
a trust building or a tactical pause exercise, and time
will just have to tell on it, because there's so
many ways that this can go sideways. And I think
(03:35):
the important thing to still remember is the United States
still holds all the cards, and that is economically and
militarily in the region. The issue is will will the
fourteen points actually be doable because of spoilers. The first
point looks at Lebanon and says that all fighting in
(03:57):
Lebanon must stop, but that's not necessarily in the Israeli interests.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They occupy one.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Fifth of the country and have been destroying the leadership
in Beirut over the last couple of days, and Netanya
always said, we will do what we need to do
in order to secure Israel. Imagine if San Diego had
received fifteen hundred missiles over the last three months, we
all had to evacuate Testcondido or further north, and we
(04:24):
were asked to stop leveling, level leveling Tijuana, where the
missiles came from. We've flat in the place. So the
Israelis have a right to their national security. And this
is really one of the biggest areas that I see
in point number one of the fourteen points, that there
can't be any violence in Lebanon, and that happens to
(04:47):
be one of one of Rand's biggest proxies. Hezbola is
its charter says we take orders from Iran.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So right, you got Hesbala, you have Hamas, you have
all these proxies goes back again the forty seven year
war started by Iran and the first of the Ayatolas
and the hostages from the US, including Richard Morefield from
San Diego back in nineteen seventy nine. So it's a
long ongoing war, which again when people say, well Trump
said no new wars, this is definitely not a new war.
(05:17):
It's been run through proxies in many cases for many years.
Ron b with US security experts, especially with regard to
the Middle East. So I got to think you touched
on it there that maybe this is a sort of
a calculated pause and what's different this time as opposed
to the deal with Obama, and there was a lot
of debate, and the President talked about it today. The
(05:38):
money that was given from Obama Biden in terms of
the money that may go back to Iran if they
play nice with this again, big differences. You've got a
lot of the leaders who are dead, and there's also
the willpower and we've seen this definitively in recent months
and even a year ago that if they don't play nice,
it's not just going to be let's do another diplomatic thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
The presidents. We'll just bomb the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Crap out of them, So that's possible, and then there's
going to be the rub because you know, the Iranian
leaders are going to try it and see if he does,
and that'll be the next thing.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, I mean, there are a lot of things that
can go wrong. We have the opening of the strait
of horror. Moves was some there were some shots fired
by the Iranians day and you notice during that initial
cease fire there was a lot of shooting going on.
So this is going to extend for another two months.
If there's the same amount of shooting going on, you're
(06:32):
going to have to wonder which direction we're heading in.
I note that jd Vance made the circuit at CNN
and Fox News even the view to talk about that
this deal is all performance based, that no money goes
not a single cent goes to them if they don't
(06:52):
change their behavior, and that's going to be difficult for
the IRGC that reports only to the Ayatola and the molas,
not the politicians who make deals. So the real question
is is this something that the economy has collapsed to
a certain point that even the IRGC is having to reassess.
(07:15):
It's forty seven year old ideals of Islamic revolution and
death to America and death Israel. Excuse us if we
have some skepticism in that regard, but that's one of
the one of the obstacles that the president is going
to have to overcome in the next sixty days. The
(07:35):
most important, which, of course, no nuclear weapons, and there's
no real deal on that yet either that's just an agreement.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
To it's an agreement to talk about an agreement over
the next sixty days. There was nothing in these points,
and people will saying, let's see if it's spelled out
in there that we need the nuclear dust, you know,
the enriched uranium, all of that that's not in there.
That presumably evolves over the next sixty days. Once they
signed this, I guess they've done DOCU signed virtually but
Friday in Pakistan, then they'll come up with that.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
We say, we.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Hear some official signing, but we've seen this before and
I don't trust. I've seen no reason to trust the
leadership in Iran on anything.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
You're right, So here we go again.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Well, and let's let's talk about the Strait of Hormuz.
They're going to have to locate the mines. I bet
there have been some discussions with the British and the
French and the Germans about that, because they have mine
sweepers they and they have and they have to keep
open the straight without seas. There was even a discussion
(08:42):
one of the points, well that's something to be determined later.
Are we going to allow the Iranians and the Omanis
to charge a fee? Well, it doesn't affect us so much.
It's certainly with the Europeans and the Indians and the Pakistanis.
But that's in there, I think is as ap to
the Europeans. Okay, you didn't help us out, so we're
(09:02):
not going to cover your interest. But we'll see the
It requires violence to stop in Lebanon, and the hawks
in Israel, Iran and dare I say, the US want
to keep fighting, so we'll see see how that ends up.
The key here is, you know, Iran is at the
(09:26):
point of economic collapse. Yeah, seventy inflation, they were losing
five hundred million a day.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, that's a good leverage. Reagan used that, as you know.
Reagan used that with the Soviet Union. Make it difficult
and then it collapses under its own weight. That's a
good strategy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yes, I know, yeah, I know. I was in the
Reagan Pentagon when that happens. I'm very familiar with yeah strategies. So,
but if the Iran is allowed to sell oil, do
they rebuild their military sites or civilian infrastructure. I will
clearly have to be watching from space and I'll elsewhere
and on the ground is to see if this performance
(10:04):
based incentive program will work. So there's a lot of
skepticism that it's all dependent on Iran coming through on
this and based on past performance, I wouldn't invest in it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Ron b national security expert, worked in the Middle East
for many, many years Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
He's based right here in San Diego. You know, one
of the quotes being couted repeatedly on CNN and NBC
is a whole bit Trump defends around having missiles. He
says it's unfair if others can have them. Well, that's
in the context of at some point, not tomorrow morning, right,
(10:42):
if they play nicely.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But there is no mention in the fourteen points whatsoever
of reducing their ballistic missile inventory. Although I hear that
eighty five to ninety percent of it has been reduced
by us.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Already, right, and that's the thing that these are remember,
we have brought that way back. So and that's why
when Barack Obama as former president comes out and he
was saying yesterday, well, it was kind of when it
all said and done, it's kind of like the.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Deal we did.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Now there are some differences including, you know a lot
of the bad guys being dead and much of their
arsenal being.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Discribed is gone.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
The Navy's gone, you know, their listening posts are are gone,
and you know a certain percentage of of the in fact,
three tiers of leaders are gone. So that's that's a
really important issue. Now, to what degree did the leaders
actually have control over the military and the IRGC in
(11:38):
particular the arteesh The regular military is not getting paid,
so that could be helpful to causing chaos. But if
that money gets redistributed again, if the straight straight opens
and there's an open question that this is this going
to go to sustain the regime? What a out? What
(12:00):
about the phrase help is on the way to the
forty thousand people who are dying in the streets in
January and February. They're going to have to wait for
a while if we're going to allow that money to
go back into the pockets of the i RG.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I would love to see the Iranian people, the Persian
people come out and actually be liberated through this, and
not that we're into nation building, but if now's not
the time for something to get rid of these religious
zelot mullas, I don't know when the time would be,
so obviously every minute is critical. We'll see what transpires
the next couple of days. Ron B appreciate the update.
(12:38):
The insight is always Thank you, sir, be safe.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Thank you Mark for having me. Good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
That's rond B here in San Diego, local national security expert.
Worked in the Middle East for many years and the
Pentagon as well the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
A lot of questions, how are you feeling about this? Good?
Disturbed off. I'm kind of a mix of a.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Lot of things in this around de other no deal,
having a sense of days ever. News Radio six hundred
co go live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
First of all, the thing is more than a more
of a blunder than what Obama did by giving them
all that out of the cash and more of a
blunder than what Biden did giving Ukraine free money in
Afghanistan withdraw debacle. Jud let's go Trump, He's going to
finish this. He already started it. It's going down in history, USA.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Baby, all right?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So is President Trump playing forty chess as people like
to say, or is it something else? I will say this,
The opposition, including some within the Republican Party, have a
lot of different levels, including the Rhinos, the Republicans of
name only, some of the usual bunch, some of the media.
They're hopping on this. You got a lot of people
(13:53):
cheering for America to lose. And then the same people
when it looks like okay, if they say this is
a surrender, this agreement that is in the making with
Iran after they've been so decimated on so many levels,
or at least the majority of their ability, and a
whole lot of bad guys from the Iotola on down,
all the potentates, the impotentates, most of them dead. Very
(14:16):
different than what Obama Biden had back in the day.
But if it's almost like some people are cheer on
one hand, they're saying Trump is chickening out. If this
was Tuesday, they'd say it's Taco Tuesday, and Trump always
chickens out and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Right, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's fun watching some of the doves, the ones you know,
peace at all costs, who just you know, they would
have been there the beaches of Normandy reporting for MSNBC
if it was around back then in the nineteen forties
and World War Two. They say, this isn't going well,
let's just let Hitler have what he wants. And they're
the same ones now saying, well, Trump's Trump's giving the
Iranians what they want. The same people who said, how
(14:58):
dare he go in and bomb the crap out of him?
Now it appears they're saying, because he's not bombing the
crap out of them right now, they're upset with upset
with that too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm getting whiplash.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's just me doctor Larson here, Yeah, Mark Larson, board
certified quack. That's the only doctor thing I get myself
a doctrine. It's the season, you know, the commencement and
all that. News radio six hundred Cogo. Some of the
headlines was the Obama deal better Trump humiliation Mulla's keep missiles.
Iran orders Israel out of Lebanon. Yeah, that's not going
(15:30):
to work, Maga hawk mutiny. Well, this doesn't mean everybody's turning,
but people are asking questions. Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Green,
you know some of the who else is Bill Cassidy,
who was on the crap list and got bumped out.
(15:50):
You know, Trump endorsed the contender against Cassidy, and Cassidy's
out as Senator.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
He won't be in the next election.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He was defeat in May because Trump endorsed one of
the appointments. So Cassidy's out there today. To anybody who listen, going,
this is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Well, maybe it is. I don't think it is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I think there's a lot of conflicting stuff going on
right now because of the nature of all of this.
I'd love to know what's in Marco Rubio's head right now,
because he's been kind of quiet last couple of days.
But Trump knows, even on his craziest trumpy what the
hell is he doing moments on the truth social he
(16:35):
knows you can't trust the Iranian leaders. There's a whole
psychological game going on here. So on the one hand,
if people will do Trump's crazy in both the twenty
fifth Amendment, well he's the president. Okay, this is where
we are. Elections have consequences. You and I would both
like to get this thing over right. Oil prices are
(16:57):
going down already in the middle of all this. It
is like, well you see the cost per barrel. It
was like one hundred bucks a couple of weeks ago,
and it's found like in the low seventy bucks range today.
You'll see that at your corner fielding station soon. So
there's a lot of huffing and puffing right now. And
Peter Doucy over at Fox News on location in France
(17:19):
at the g seventh summit with Trump today, So what's
the difference though, Obama giving all the palettes of cash
to the regime in Iran as opposed to what you're
saying about releasing some money, and Trump said, well, if
they play nicely, they'll get this back.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We're unfreezing their money.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And the argument is that under Trump under Obama versus
Trump under Obama and Biden, they were throwing new money
at bad whatever. Pallets of cash on the tarmac remember
that that's a little bit of a semantic dance. Love
to know what you think. Eight hundred and six hundred coco,
(17:59):
especially if you are involved in the military, your family
and numbers of the military.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Eight hundred six hundred COG.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
This is Mark from San Diego. Do we have to
wait for another World Trade Center? It's been twenty five
years and they've been chanting death to America for forty
seven Do we have to wait for another nine to
eleven before we take action? God bless trump Man. Proactive dude.
You know the guy's really doing his thing.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thanks, thank you, Mark, and good name.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And the dog apparently concurs Were they sitting at a
bar like Leland was talking about that last hour of people,
you know, taking the dogs and it's sitting on.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
A bar stool.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You may get a lot of good wisdom from your dogs,
better than some people who talked to posters. Mark Larson
here news radio six hundred COG. Eight hundred, six hundred
COGO is our number. If you want to join in
eight hundred and six hundred COG or on the iHeartRadio app.
Open the iHeart app you find COG like he did,
you tap the red talkback.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Mike sent us a voice message.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Bottom line is we finally heard what was in the
memorandum of understanding at this point constantly subject to change,
and then it's the agreement to agree some more and
talk some more for sixty days. Once they signed this officially,
I guess they've docu signed it or something virtually. But
on Friday in Pakistan, and then the waiting game begins
and President Trump says on one side, if they don't
(19:24):
follow along this time, we'll start bombing the crap out
of them again.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And you know he means that you have the.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Detractors, including some Republicans, but certainly the left getting all
wrapped up and getting whiplashed because on one hand, you know,
they hated it when he went in and got aggressive
with them, including June of last year, starting to take
out a lot of their ability, and then of course
over the last three and a half almost four months,
even more definitive. Now, does iron have some power left?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is most of it gone? Absolutely? So that's what's different. Well,
it's no different, and Obama. Obama said that yesterday, I
think it's all done. It's going to be kind of
like mine. No, not really, because for one thing, there
were I many bad guys got killed off.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now the Son of the Iatola sounds like a.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Bad horror movie Son of the Iyatola from International Pictures
in black and white. So yeah, people say, no, the
Obama deal was better. Really, how was that better? Did
the Obama deal help or hinder in terms of the proxies?
You look back to October seventh in Israel. That's almost
(20:33):
what three years ago now.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I mean it's.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
During Biden and Harris. You may remember Kamala Harris. It's
happy hours, not available for comments. So what's been what's
been happening from all the proxies from Iran? Make the
case that Obama's deal wasn't better. But I know Lou Penrose,
(20:58):
one of our fellow talk show hosts here on news
Radio six hundred Cogo, he just sent me a text
during during the break All this is nonsense. The United
States was never under any threat from Iran. I would say, well,
wait a minute, We've been under threat from them through
proxies and a lot of other creative and horrible ways
over the last forty seven years, including the taking of
(21:18):
hostages in nineteen seventy nine, Dick Morefield State Department official
who lived here in San Diego. That was a painful
time I was here. Then it was four hundred and
forty four days of captivity. And Lou, with all due
respect to LOUI said, if we were under threat, we
would have preemptively struck with nuclear force in nineteen seventy nine,
(21:40):
like we did the Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Well, maybe I
think right now we're again. Here's the dilemma for Trump.
Let's say we go through with this. I'm willing to
do as Reagan said, trust but verify. I don't like
this agreement because so much is still undone. It's evolving
over sixty days, and the track wreck for the whatever
(22:01):
leaders are left some missing limbs and other important body parts.
They have not proven themselves strustworthy on anything for forty
seven years. But I think that Trump more than anything,
and any one, whether you agree or disagree, try to
(22:23):
set us aside the Orange Man bad stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
He's got to stick to this that if they if
they deviate, if they play their usual game, we agree,
but not we're not going to agree.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And now we're gonna mess with you.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And we didn't really mean it about the nuclear weapons
and they're not going to give you the enriched uranium,
so too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, then you bomb the hell out of them again,
not the people. That's the tricky part. You go to.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Carg Island, you go to strategic places that have not
yet been decimated. But this is where you get the
big debate. I thought we you know, again from the
left mostly, I thought we we got rid of their ability,
not one hundred percent middle this there's a whole lot
of people cheering for America to fail, and more importantly,
(23:09):
they want to have Trump fail. Even if you can't
stand Trump, I don't want America to fail. I didn't
like where we were going under previous administrations, Republican and Democrat.
I think, you know, when Obama was drawing the red
lines in Syria, Oh there's coming weapons over this red line,
We're going to do something, and then they'd draw another red
(23:31):
line and another red line and just kept moving the
red line. Unfortunately, what the the crazies in charge of
the government and around, not the Irounian the people, the
Persian people, but the leaders who have kept their people
under their oppressive religious zealop crazy sums for almost fifty years.
(23:58):
They only understand blunt force. They pretend they do negotiation.
They don't. They're used to getting away with murder, literally
playing ropa dope. We've seen this through the whole process.
You have one faction saying we're gonna have an agreement,
and then somebody goes on TV says this is not
(24:18):
an acceptable agreement and death to America and then off
to the missiles into Lebanon from Hesbelah, the Iranian Mulla's
being the puppeteers, the puppets being Hesbelah or Hamas. Check
it out around the girl. Well, why are they a threat?
Because they've been a threat. They've been a threat every day.
(24:38):
Now were they close to a nuclear weapon or dirty
nukes or some kind of improvised explosive nuke style? I
think most likely? Do we have evidence?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The White House probably knows a how I hope they
know more than we do. Oh, the American people need
to know, do we.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
America? Thank God? Capital g America.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Coming up on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
this representative republic, not a democracy, small D representative republic.
We the people right, but we elect people to do
their jobs. And now fueled by social media. It's all
about well, that's just you know, nothing's perfect. I don't
(25:25):
know why anybody, regardless of party, would want to be
president because you're never right. There's always a legion out
there only caring about clicks on stupid social media we
live with. I use it to, I know, but this
is life and death. This is free world versus tyranny.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
You just suck it up to Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
No, I'm again if you listen to the show Mark
Larson here on Cogo. I'm very conflicted about this deal.
What we now know, what the President said today is
exactly what I was afraid it would be, which is
not enough teeth in the deal. I know the Obama
deal wasn't better, but yeah, a lot of people should
be cheering for America for freedom, freedom for those who
(26:13):
have been oppressed in Iran, for free people around the world,
and they're cheering for America to lose.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Especially Trump because the Orange Man. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Really eight hundred and six hundred Cogo of your thoughts
or open the iHeart radio app you find Coco, tap
the red talkback Mike, send us a voice message and
make us your number one preset there on Cogo when
you're there on the app and on your car radio.
She's Radio six hundred Cogo Alive and the iHeart Radio apps.
Earlier today, we had a brush fire a half acre
in Grantville. We covered that for you here on Cogo
(26:49):
News San Diego Riverbed. Then I think we've had a
couple other fires this week that just happened to be
around intersections of freeways. Last week it was the in
a valley fire, fires bursting out in ravines.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh what could it be? You know what I know?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Most often it's encampment fires from urbann outdoorsman, especially when
you don't hear from authorities.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But we're investigating.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Unless this time of the year we start having weeds
just starting to burst into flame. God end it all
had a rough day as a weed burst into flame.
Mark Larson here News Radio six hundred Coco Live on
the iHeartRadio app eight hundred, six hundred Cogo. It's got
a Bob Santa Cedro. Hello Bob, thanks for being patient.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I'd like to say a few things to you, mister
know it all?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, sure to know it all?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Tony, I can go.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I'm not sure about this. Do you have your own show? Bob.
By the way, have you been all pent up.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Things about it? You let me finish for a minute.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Well, it's my show, so I'm trying to find out.
We don't have an hour, Bob.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Well, I'm trying to save it. I'm trying to save
this country.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And by the way, I give it to Democrats more
than I give it to Republicans.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That they're an apt that they people like they need
movie stars. As of Joe Biden, he's too old. Kamala Harris, who.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Is the way?
Speaker 6 (28:18):
She's still running again?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But I love to give.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
It to you. I've been waiting you. You don't know
which way it's going now.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh I don't top ohill right now?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And I have friends that work for trips hour.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Sure you do, Sure you do?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Did you work in the media and then got fired
a few times and you're just ticked off to me? No, Bob,
you listen to me. It's my show, Bob. If you're
going to play in my sandbox, be civil. What a dumbass?
That's French? Good lord? Just you know people, people? Can
(28:55):
you feel the love tonight?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No? I tried, I tried to let it. I want
to find out what's there? He obviously doesn't like my show.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
He has been calling since Leland's show. He is, yeah,
and then I've just been putting him on hold and he.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
So, in other words, I sense that we're mister know
it all because we're assertive and we are doing shows.
He doesn't have a show, so he's pissed off about that.
And uh, then at the same time he moves into
full know it all mode by complaining that we're coming
(29:32):
off as know it alls.
Speaker 7 (29:34):
You listen to me, you listen to me, Mark Lars.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That's right, Bob, Bob. I'd love to know Bob's pedigree. Yeah,
I appreciate it. And when he got out of the home, well,
I'm just just curious.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
We are here to help you with your mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Co Go Radio. What's our number of people need mental
health help? What's the not the hotline?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Er?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
No, don't call, don't call Tim. I tried.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He's he's been tormenting you all day, Yes, he has.
And anytime people treat my people are people on the show.
I got a problem with that. So I thought, let's
give Bob his say. Bob could have had if you
want to have a conversation, we could have if that's
his real name. We could have had a nice back
and forth until he said, you listen to me and
(30:25):
then drop the F bomb.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You drop an F bomb.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
I just want to thank you for taking that call
and how you handled it.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
That's radio, that is live radio. It's always respectable. I
should have called him mister dumbass rather than just you know,
see what I've found over the years.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Anytime you get something like that that you will find
that they were in broadcasting one time.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know. Rarely I find that maybe I didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Give somebody a job back in the day and they've
just been pent up ever since, blaming the unblameable for
their own inadequacies. We wish you well, Bob, and I
hope you get some help. Eight hundred and six hundred Coco.
That's our number. Can't wait till tomorrow's show.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Well what's happening tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't know. I'm sure he'll call back again. Oh.
Please know.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
There have only been in my fifty years in radio
in San Diego as of last Friday, only maybe five
or six people like that. Because I get along with everybody,
yes you do. But when they come in hot like
that and I try to give them a little placer,
(31:40):
and I rarely, you know, so I've had five or six,
maybe seven people over the years that I've had to
just dump because they didn't play by the rules.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Same thing on social media.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
If they're going to come to my social media that
I personally curate as it is, they need to play
nicely in the sandbox. If they don't, I blocked them.
I maybe blocked a total of fifty teen people on
social media because that is an egregious air if they
want to come and do this or if it's inappropriate,
and make that go away.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But I won't block them until they go into a
full dim ball blade.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
That's the worst one so far since I've been doing
this with you, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Thanks all right, Well he should stay tuned. Coast to
Coast gets weirder coming up after eight
