Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nineteen thirty two dot org.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hi, this is Jake with Politics by Jake to tell
you you're not crazy. The system is rigged. Help us
say it louder. Won't you join us at Patreon dot com.
Forward slash Politics by Jake. Okay, everybody, Hello. It is Friday,

(00:33):
June twenty seventh, and it is time for another different
politics by Jake. It is seven am or thereabouts, depending
on where you turn in, and I am Jake, your
political host and commentator, student of history. And what we
try to do on Mondays and Fridays every morning at
seven am and also on podcast on KCA Radio dot

(00:56):
com is to give an overview of what's going on
in the world and what's going on in the country,
with hopefully some suggestions, some motivation for you to make
a difference on the world historical stage, because we think
that that's an issue. We think that you can do that.
So let's just go over what's going on here. Trump,

(01:20):
as you know by now, this is dismaying for more
reasons than one. He ordered a bombing raid on Iran
and he claimed it destroyed their nuclear capacity. He unilaterally
declared to cease fire, and he claimed credit for peace
nobody says, and I'm talking about the Washington Post, probably

(01:45):
the Washington Examiner. I haven't checked those guys yet. The
New York Times, none of the papers of record in
the United States and in the world, says that the
raid destroyed i ran It's nuclear capacity, and rather, it

(02:06):
probably did not destroy it probably did not do that
much damage. The ceasefire that Trump declared unilaterally was not
coordinated with thisrieller. Iran both continued military activity. And Trump
announced this act as a path to the Nobel Peace Price,

(02:27):
and he compared himself to Reagan and Grenada, and I
just I'm aching to talk about this, but I'm going
to stick to the bullet points. Okay. So he wants
to get the Nobel Peace Price, all right, this just
cracks me up. He cracks me up. The White House

(02:48):
and the Pentagon scrambled to retroactively justify the bombing, and
the allies in this case have been blindsided. Trump falsely
asserted Iranian surrender and that the nuclear sites were fully destroyed,
but insiders and military officials privately contradicted Trump's claims of success,

(03:17):
and Trump's bombastic tone and delusional self praise suggests a
severe psychological break and Trump's language. And you know you've
heard me talk about this before. I'm talking about it
since at least twenty twenty one, well actually twenty seventy,

(03:38):
but at least since twenty twenty one. On shows like this,
Trump's language reveals clinical delusions of grandeur. And this is
one thing that I've said. His niece Mary and others
like doctor bandyax Lee call him a malignant narcissist. But
I say, you know, what's the old thing? In quantum physics,

(04:03):
one thing can be two things, like can be a particle,
it can also be a wave, and then some wag
will chime in until it's observed. But there's more and
more indications that quanta just behave they want to behave,
and that they can be in two places at once. Anyway,
this is.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
A show about politics, not about quantum physics.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's interesting though, But my point is that he can
be a malignant narcissist and also have a clinical ideation.
And a clinical ideation occurs when reality becomes too painful people.
Examples of ideations are people who think they're great people,

(04:46):
like in the old days people thought they were Napoleon.
Another ideation is that space aliens are privately communicating with you.
And there are many such ideations. And I had the
opportunity to work mental facilities, and I have listened, and
often these things are paranoia. They're a symptom of paranoia

(05:08):
and schizophrenia. And I have listened to patients talk to
me about these ideations. Let me tell you, they are
stunningly persuasive. So Trump is a con man. Trump is
a grifter. Persuasion is part of his stock in trade.

(05:29):
And his language does and I said this and I'm
saying it again, does reveal clinical delusions of grandeur. He
believes that only he understands world's affairs and that reality
must conform to his assertion. Listeners, that was the wrong
word I was going to say. Listeners, Listen to me, Folks,

(05:53):
listen to me. This is textbook paranoid ideation. This is
mental illness. This person is mentally ill. The leader of
the United States is mentally ill. And he has been.
He has been for a while. But it's reaching a

(06:15):
situation now where you know it's beginning. It's always been dangerous,
but now it's really getting even more dangerous. He believes
that only he understands world affairs. Reality must of necessity
conform to his assertions, and concordantly, he won't accept any
other alternative explanations. And when you have a paranoid ideation,

(06:39):
a person's sense of reality has been destroyed and they
cancct this ideation in order to keep their world together.
And people with paranoid ideation can be very dangerous. They
can be very dangerous. Indeed, you know, for example, he
claimed Iran's nuclear capacity was fully destroyed. This isn't true.

(07:02):
It's just not true. He raged the world leaders and
the press didn't acknowledge his peace plan or his bombing success.
He displayed obsessive paranoia. There's a paranoia. Paranoia can be
associated or just associative. But that others like media, allies
and Congress, they're all conspiring to make him look bad.

(07:28):
Where you heard that before. They're all against me. Everybody's
against me. He suggested that I ran in Israel. Don't
know what the bleep that they're doing. Starts with an
F ends with the K. This is a radio broadcast.
Can't say that on the air. That's one of the
seven deadly words. But I think you know what I'm

(07:49):
talking about I think maybe you even heard him say it.
It was an incoherent it was a rambling, It was
an alarming statement. Couldn't recall basic terms like sleeper cells. Instead,
he rambled on about supercells, which I think has to

(08:10):
do with like a tropical storm or a hurricane of
supercell showed visible signs of mental unraffling. While boarding Air
Force One, he attacked CNN, MSNBC, which he called MSDNC.
I thought that was kind of good. I thought that
was a nice touch. Fox. He attacked Fox and individual reporters,

(08:35):
And all I can say is, boy, it's sure lucky
that CNN has been kissing up to him for like
the last three years. And it's sure lucky that Fox
has been, you know, basically giving him free publicity since
twenty fifteen. Boy, Otherwise I guess they'd really be in
trouble now. Huh So, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, they're the trifecta

(08:56):
right there, the individual reporter calling them gutless losers, calling
them scum. He claimed that the media is trying to
demean him by undercutting his military narrative. And this, of course,
you all know, a couple of weeks ago now, he
had his toy tank parade in Washington's seat, to which

(09:20):
no one showed up, and to which the people who
did show up, which was mostly you know, the people
who had to show up because they're in his administration,
looked all incredibly uncomfortable and incredibly embarrassing. If you look
at the promenade where this was held, with festivities such
as they were held. First of all, it looked like

(09:41):
the guys in the military who were detailed to do this,
it looked like they were phoning in order to make
it look good. And secondly, there was literally no one there.
And I've talked about this before, I'll just repeat the figure.
Stephen Chung, who is a Trump toady, said two hundred
and fifty thousand, like two hundred and fifty thousand people there.

(10:04):
Somebody else said ten thousand. I only saw a couple
of thousand. I mean, I really only saw a couple
of thousand. I mean, check the videos, will you please,
and see if you think any difference. But you know,
let's say ten thousand. On the other hand, on the
other side, thirteen million at least. And I'm sorry I

(10:25):
haven't checked the world figures for you on this but
thirteen million people in the No Kings military demonstrations. And
this is why I'd say, this is why he decided
to attack Iran, because he's lost the United States he has,
he's lost them, and he's angry. And I'm going to

(10:48):
talk about this more in a minute. He blamed the
out news outlets for hurting the pilots who conducted the bombing,
and he says that hurt the pilots because they reported doubts. So,
in other words, the free press is only allowed to
report what he says. And if they questioned what he says,

(11:12):
do you understand, folks, do you understand how spooky this
all is? He vehemently demanded public apologies. He referred to
Speaker Mike Johnson and Representative Scott Perry, these guys are
MAGA through and through, through and through. These are no democrats,

(11:36):
These are no democratic socialists. These are no rhinos Rhino
means ri, no Republican in name only. These are hardcore MAGA,
and he referred to their remarks as betrayal, despite both
of them expressing agreement with military caution. I think we

(11:59):
have a situation, suation where we need to begin to
look at the twenty fifth Amendment. Trump poses a clear
and present danger to the United States and to the planet.
I urge Republicans who are listening to me to organize
impeachment proceedings immediately. Trump's behavior is a national security threat,

(12:21):
not just to the US but globally. And with that,
let's take a break. Here's something from the good folks
at Twin Consulting. And this is politics by Jake. And
now there's a work one of our sponsors, Twain Consulting. Hi,
this is Jake with Twain Consulting. Let's be blunt, shall we.

you for those great commercials. Thank you for that message
from Patreon. Patreon really helps. We appreciate the people who

(13:57):
are donating there to help the show keep going on
this weekend, continue talking about these things. I was just
listening on the radio and I heard this thing that's
really a trend, and it's part of Trump's insanity. It's
part of his poor little rich Boy thing that you've
heard me talk about. You know, you've heard me talk

(14:19):
about the comic book back in the day. I don't
know if they e didn't have it anymore, but it
was called Richie Rich and the byeline under the name
Richie Rich was the Poor Little Rich Boy. And I
used to read it at one time, you know, when
I was a kid. I honestly I can't even remember

(14:40):
most of what it was about. It was some kind
of light hearted maybe there was some moralism or something
like that. I don't know. But that's what Donald Trump is.
He's the poor little rich boy. Because his niece Mary
says that when he was five, he received a I

(15:00):
kick wound and he probably received that from his father,
and it was then, she says, that he realized that
he was not loved. And you know, this sounds like
hearts and flowers, but stay with me because this is
actually important. He was not loved, and subsequent events have

(15:21):
shown to him in his life that he is not loved.
Yet he is not loved, and not only that he
never will be loved, and not only that he never
can be loved. And this is all you know in
his mind. So when you install someone like a leader

(15:42):
like this, he's a wounded leader. That's a wounded leader,
and you get other people. Marx called them the lumpen proo.
Lumpen is German. It means rags and proletariat. That's just
the working class, just the middle working class. And he
talked about how this particular category of people they've fallen

(16:07):
out in the lumpen proletariat. They've fallen out of the
middle class. And the reason why Marx used the word lumping.
And you know, you have to kind of go back
to eighteen fifty because back in those days, a sign
of being in the middle class was that you were
able to, you know, wear good clothes. You had enough money,

(16:28):
you could buy good clothes. But when you were no
longer in the middle class, you become poor. You can't
buy new clothes. You have to wear old clothes, and
over time those wear out and they become like rags.
And that's what he meant. I mean, I'm with you.

(16:50):
It could have been named something better. I don't know.
I don't know what marketing said about that in eighteen
forty nine or whenever that was when Desk Capital was written.
But that's what it is. So it may be difficult
to understand, but that's what it is. So you have
these people and they've precipitated out of the middle class,

(17:14):
and what that means is they've fallen out of the
middle class. They heading themselves in the middle class, and
they're wounded because they don't like that. And one of
the reasons they're wounded is because globalization took away sixty
thousand factories, and this affected the workforce in those each

(17:38):
of those sixty thousand factories, it affected the sixty thousand
cities or towns, or municipalities or counties, depending on how
you figure it. You multiply that by the people who
live there in those cities, towns, municipalities, or counties, all

(17:59):
the lateral industries that grow up around those factories, all
the goods and services, grocery stores, hardware stores, you know,
all of the things that grow up around towns when
you have economic power. Economic power was taken from them

(18:22):
because in many of these factories they were broken up.
And this wasn't about nineteen eighty nine. They weren't just
taken away whole cloth. Some of them were actually broken
up and sold in pieces to governments who frankly or
hostile to us. And you know, at politics by Jake,

(18:43):
we don't generally talk about people being hostile to us,
but we do talk about governments being hostile. And that's
basically what happened, and these people lost, and they are lost.
In two thousand and eight, you have the subprime crisis,

(19:03):
which really should be called the hedge funt crisis. But
this is also the precipitation of people out of the
middle class. This is why you have it. I would
go further. I would talk about the fact that the
minimum wage has stayed at seven dollars and twenty five
cents an hour since two thousand and nine. Hell in

(19:24):
two thousand and eight it was like six dollars and
eighty five cents or something like that. It basically hasn't
moved much in thirty or forty years. We can talk
about that as a factor of people falling out of
the middle class. We could also talk about several different things.
But the point is that's a lot of wounded people

(19:46):
and the Democratic Party, and this is something I hope
to talk about more in another segment of the show.
Hopefully they're not responding to that. They're not responding properly.
And the reason why they're not is because you have
a corporate type of Democrat. These people are not New

(20:10):
Deal Democrats. They don't believe in the provisions in the
principles of the New Deal, they don't believe in the
Second Economic Bill of Rights, and they would rather go
to corporate America. They're Clintonists. They are what used to
be called guerrilla democrats. Because they went against the New

(20:32):
Deal underpinnings the Second Bill of Rights underpinnings of Franklin
delan Or Roosevelt that he brought forth in nineteen forty four.
Unfortunately he wasn't allowed to put it into action. Which
called for things like a living wage, called for things
like decent housing, called for things like decent education and

(20:54):
that would be all the way through college, by the way,
called for decent clothing, called for a living wage that
included a pension, and it called for, you know, a
bunch of things like this. This was this economic Bill
of Rights, and the underpinning and the fundamental premise of
that was this, a necessitous person is not a free person.

(21:17):
And similarly, a necessitous country is not a free country.
And at this point, let's take another break, and this
is politics by Jake, and we'll be back. And now
there's a work one of our sponsors, Twain consulting. Hi,
this is Jake with Twain consulting. Let's let's be blunt,
shall we. America is like tigeous. It's unstable, and it's

(21:39):
financially weaponized. If your name is on everything you own,
you're a sitting duck. At Twain Consulting. We help you
vanished legally, ethically and permanently, from land trusts to layered LLCs.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Now, let's get back to Jack in politics by Jack.

Politics by Jake, No filters, no fluff, just the truth.
Let's do this together. And this is politics by Jake,

(23:12):
and I want to keep going on this situation with Trump,
this profane collapse of Trump, which has probably been going
on longer than what we have just uncovered. The rage,
the retaliation, the ruin because you know, you don't bomb

(23:33):
I Ran because you have a foreign policy. You don't
bomb I Ran because there's a geopolitical necessity. You bomb
I Ran. And I talked about this in the last
segment when you panned on Trump during his toy tank parade,
and he looked like he was about to burst out

(23:54):
in tears and weep like a little girl because he
knew that nobody cared. And this is a or a
thing for Trump that nobody cares. So you bomb Iran
when you get mad because you can't make anybody love you,
when you've lost your grip on America and you need
to drowned out the sound of your own political collapse.

(24:18):
And that's what Trump did. On June twenty second, Trump
ordered a retaliatory military strike on Iran in the middle
of a political firestorm, but retaliation for what we weren't attacked,
and so nobody knows. The Pentagon says it was in
response to Iranian provocation. But what does that mean? They

(24:39):
didn't attack us. Let me tell you what it really was, though.
This was the final scream on the edge of a
man who's on the edge of losing everything. This is
what fascists do when they lose power, when they lose
narrative control, they lash out. This wasn't Rgy, this wasn't

(25:02):
de Terrence. This was Trump flailing against his own irrelevance.
I think it was in nineteen forty two or nineteen
forty three, when Hitler was having his time that some
United States military psychiatrists were asked to say what the

(25:23):
end of Trump would be. I'm sorry, sorry, what the
end of Hitler would be doesn't mean nineteen forty two
or nineteen forty three. And they all said he'd wind
up with a bucker and he'd destroy his own nation,
or he'd allow his own nation to be destroyed. And
that's exactly what happened. He lost power, he lost narrative control,

(25:44):
he was losing the war. He lashed out against people,
said they were all weak, said the German nation was weak,
and if they were defeated, they deserved to be defeated.
This is Trump. This is what's going on. This speech
that he gave afterwards, it was probably the most profane, unstable,

(26:07):
and dangerous rant ever recorded by a military president. It
wasn't a speech, it wasn't a rally, it wasn't even
a tantrum. It was a psychological break and it was
broadcast live. I mean, look, he attacked prosecutors, he threatened

(26:33):
elected officials. He all but promised civil unrest, and that's
definitely happening. And he's the one who's instigating it, just
like he's the one who created, prosecuted, promulgated, and instigated
the insurrection of January sixth, twenty twenty one. He did it,

(26:56):
and when the blowback came, you just changed It's the
subject the only way a mad king. We should probably
start calling him king Lear. That's what set play king
Lear is about. It's about an old, aging, insane king.
So he changed the subject the only way a mad
king can't, by dropping bombs. And let's talk about the

(27:20):
scum okay, because Trump keeps using that word over and over, scum, immigrants, democrats, journalists,
people who listen to politics. By Jake, I'm sorry, I
had to get that one in there. Hang in there,
you're with me, all right. There's only one person here

(27:42):
really who's truly beneath contempt, and he's staring into the
abyss now and he's hoping to drag the rest of
us in with it.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
And this is.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Important to understand. You've heard me talk about impeachment in
twenty twenty seven when the Democrats most assuredly retake control
of the House and possibly the Senate as well in
a big way. This isn't about the left versus the
right anymore. It's not about Biden, although you know, as

(28:16):
you know, it seems like you can't swing a dead cat,
to use the old expression without hitting Trump sending a
tweet about how Biden was such a terrible president and
how he used to blame for everything, and you know,
this is ridiculous. It's just ridiculous for reasons that I've
recounted before and I will be glad to recount again.

(28:41):
It's not about Biden, sorry, not about the Democrats. It's
not about the media. This is about the end stage
of authoritarian decay. Because here's the truth. Trump's followers, they
were never told the truth. They were fed a steady

(29:03):
diet of lies of enemies and cultural paranoia, and now
in his second term, cornered by investigations, rejected, scoffed at,
laughed at by the international community, and bleeding domestic support.

(29:24):
Trump has one well let weapon laft really and its instability,
and he uses it. You know, actually he's always done this.
The idea with Trump is always to keep everybody off balanced,
so everybody pays attention to him. But he uses this.
He uses it every single day. He threatens judges, he

(29:48):
mocks the disabled. He's got fifty nine I think I've
heard the figure. It's fifty nine thousand immigrants stunning. He
erases guardrails and the one all else fails, he bombs.
I ran, And there's nobody who's happy about this. The
situation with the immigrants, it's a travesty. It's a shame.

(30:12):
I think I talked about this on the last show.
Where the people who are doing this they're called police.
They're wearing things that say they're police, but I'm not
really seeing any badges. They have their faces covered so
that you can't see them, which is shameful because they

(30:34):
know that there will be reprisals against them because they
desperately and I use the example, as I always do,
of the movie Stripes, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, John Candy,
several other great comic actors, very funny movie where the

(30:55):
one character whose name Francis but everybody call in this
school calls him Psycho, is all excited in the armory,
getting ready to load up to go out and save
their drill sergeant. And why is he excited? In his
own words, he says, all I know is that I'm

(31:17):
finally going to get to kill somebody, because that's what
his characters wanted to do all along. He has been
driven to the edge of madness to where he wants
to kill these ice gestopo. And let's call this what
this is. This is the gestopo, the ice Giestopo. It's

(31:42):
unclear whether they're actually police officers. It's unclear whether in
fact they are not merely vigilantes. What is more clear,
and this is coming from an ex police officer, that
they long to play police, They long to give vent

(32:07):
to their frustration, these lumping these people who have been
fed these lies. Immigration is the life but of the country.
We've got to habit. This is the melting pot. We've
absolutely got to have it. It's craziness to put these
people in custody. But I hear that there are fifty

(32:30):
nine thousand of them in custody. It's insanity. Food rotting
in the fields, raids on farms where our foods are
being harvested, and who's going to harvest them? I can
tell you Americans won't do it. Have you ever seen
how these people work, The energy that they put into

(32:52):
their work, it's amazing. It's almost looking like human machines.
It's just amazing how efficient and how speedily they work.
No American is going to work like that. And you know,
the things that they do it because of the blessings
of economic stability. They pay taxes, they'll probably never get

(33:17):
any benefit out of it. They pay into the system.
Generally speaking, they are good citizens. Why why are we
doing this? But they're some of these people, as I've explained,
and they're out there and you've seen them. You've seen
the barbaric attacks the weakest among us, women, children, a

(33:40):
four year old child, a two year old child, Women
attacked held down by more than one man. You know,
you know what I call that? When I see that,
I call that bad police work. And it is as
a professional police and I was that kind of work

(34:03):
is shameful. That inability to professionally and efficiently take your
opponent or the suspect. You'll excuse the expression, but I'll
use it just for the sake of clarity here and
expediency to take the suspect into custody with a minimum

(34:26):
of violence, with a minimum of brute force, with an elegance,
And yes I do mean elegance, because there's a way
to do things, and then there's a way to muck
it up, to completely muck it up. And what I
see from these ice Gestapo is them mucking it up.

(34:49):
I see unprofessionalism. And let me tell you, there are
a lot of cops who are certified peace officers who've
been to post post it's an acronym for peace officer
standards and training, move into the academy in the case
of Los Angeles, or some police academy where they're taught
police procedures. It's unprofessional and I've seen unprofessional cops. But

(35:14):
these guys, the Iice Gestapa, they take the cakes, They
come in unmarked cars, they have strategies to seal off streets.
They try to keep the citizenry from going ahead and
using their phones and making a video record of what's
going on. It's just awful. It's the worst thing in

(35:36):
the world. So this is not policy. Americans don't want this.
We want a path for these people to citizenship. And
when Senator James Langford tried to create one in twenty
twenty four, encouraged and emboldened by what he thought was
the support of his own party in doing so, at

(35:59):
the end end, when it was time to bring it
to the floor for a vote, they pulled the rug
out from under them. Why because of the fear of Trump,
because of the fear of what mel Brooks and Blazing
Saddles called keeping their phony maloney jobs. So this is desperation.

(36:20):
This is the final flaming wreckage of a man who
should never have held the power of the presidency, who
isn't capable or fit to be risen to the office
of a dogcatcher. And it's not over because until someone
takes the keys away from this reckless operator. We are

(36:43):

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Now, let's get back to Jake in Politics by Jay.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Hi. This is Jake with Politics by Jake. If you're
getting value from this show, if it's making you think
or helping you see things more clearly, consider supporting it.
Just go to Patreon dot com Forward slash politics by
Jake kick in whatever you think it's worth. That's how
we grow. That's how we stay independent. Thanks, And this

(38:16):
is politics by Jake. And we're back and I wanted
to talk well, I want to talk about several things.
So I mean we've already talked about this. We'll talk
about this a little more. You know, the Israelis they
can say, well, you know, we can handle most of this.
And I'm referring to this. You know, these nuclear sites

(38:36):
in Iran, they're hardened, they're very hardened. A lot of
them are deep underground. There's the one at Naton's the
Center for Enrichment. Enrichment and enrichment means the purification of
iranium or excuse me, of uranium to the point where

(38:56):
it's pure with no extraneous elements. And it's got to
be the thistle kind. In other words, it has to
be capable of nuclear fission. It has to be fithyle.
That's kind of a strange word there it is, though,
it's got to be the kind that blows up there
you go. That's the idea. And if you can get

(39:18):
that to ninety percent pure I guess you know, uranium
two thirty five, then you can make a bomb. And
of course you've got to design the bomb you've got
to shape the charge. You've got to know how to
do that. You've got to have a trigger for me
and the Oppenheimer bombs where they imploded in order to

(39:43):
create a critical mass, see how these people would do it.
But then you've got to have a delivery vehicle. You've
got to have a guidance system for the delivery vehicle.
So it's not clear exactly where I ran is on
all this. On the other hand, and I mean, I
go along with us. If you have somebody who says

(40:06):
I'm going to kill you, death to America, death to Israel,
and the many things that they say and do hum Us,
the PLO, the PLA, the Muslim brotherhood which is out
of Egypt, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to

(40:27):
kill you. It may not be realistic to think that
the victim is going to sit around waiting for that
to happen. And you see that with Israel before taking
measures of his own. And I understand that if we
had the kinds of characters said, you've heard me say
this before, just over the border, the Rio Grande in

(40:49):
Mexico lobbying missiles at us, how long do you think
it would be before we would take an expeditionary force
in there and destroy them who are saying death to America.
And they're right on the other side of the Rio
Grand how long do you think that would be? And
so that may be where we've gotten. The other thing

(41:09):
the Israelis would argue is that you can't duplicate the situation.
Now we've got a situation where after a couple of
years of fighting, Hamas is decimated, cut to pieces, the
main leaders all dead. Heballah has been also more than decimated,

(41:31):
and they're the main leaders. They are also dead. The
Huthis have been severely mauled. They're slightly less wrecked than
these other two. And the result of the two exchanges
last year, and there were two exchanges of missiles and
air raids. One was in April, we remember, and that
was defended by Britain, France, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United States.

(41:53):
There may have been more, and that meant that the
ones launched, the ones launched by Iran at that time
very few Khit a target. Then later on in October
there was another round in in October As where the
Israelis did very limited air raids, mainly concentrating on the
destruction of the anti aircraft defense system, and that's an

(42:14):
important date. The Iranian anti aircraft defense SYSM has been
strongly dissent, but it's a wasting asset because if you
destroy it and you don't do something about that, you're
going to find it's going to be rebuilt and your
advantage will disappear. So you could say, well, this guy
says he wants to kill me, he's trying to get ready,

(42:36):
and right now I have a favorable situation for putting
it into this threat. What should I do? Should I wait?
Because in the meantime he may perfect his preparations. You
know this, this is we have this, I mean, we
do we have this. So you know there's one of
these that's at four doh fr dow the four doh

(42:58):
facility versions drop the W because it's actually transliterated from
the Arab So that's there. But that's the one that's
built into a mountain and you you've got to reach it.
And this is why you have military people saying that

(43:19):
what Trump is saying, it's not true. It's hundreds of
feet underground, not even known how far underground it is.
So here's where the US comes in because the Israelis
have all kinds of capabilities, but they don't have heavy
strategic bombers, and they don't have thirty thousand pound bomb.
And that's what we're getting. We're talking about a GBU

(43:44):
DASH fifty seven AP MOP. The MOP stands for massive
ordnance Penetrator. It's a thirty thousand pound precision guided bunk
or buster bomb which penetrates as deeply as possible into
the ground or the soil, the surface, and only then
does it detonate, right, And I think they've used this

(44:05):
once before. I think this one was called the MOAB,
which means the mother of all bombs, Moab, moab, the
mother of all bombs. This was used by the US
at some point in the last five or ten years.
But there it is, and that's apparently considered to be
the key to it. If there is a key, because
the question would be four doh, it's assembling bombs, I guess,

(44:29):
putting together these bombs. And if that's a lot of
Uranian enrichment, how would you deliver this? Well, there is
a system, and that is the B two bomber and
the B two bomber. The US has like I think
twenty one of these production was actually cut short. That actually,
that may have turned out to be a bad idea

(44:51):
to economize there, but it's nevertheless, the United States got
this capability. And it's funny because the literature is contradictory there.
I'm looking at the US News and World Report fact file,
and we're told that the payload of the B two bomber,
which is a stealth creation, right, it's supposedly difficult for
radar to see forty pound payble, a payload which can

(45:15):
carry diversive array of conventional nuclear weapons, but specifically it
could handle two of these massive ordinance penetrators MOP thirty
thousand pound precision guided nuclear bomb I'm sorry, bunker bombs,
not nuclear bunker bombs. It can carry two, so there,

(45:36):
the idea would be to drop one of them, wait
for the smoke to clear, drop another one, presumably right
in the same crater as the first one, and hope
with that to get penetration down into the ground. Of course,
if you set one of these things off, this is
undoubtedly going to show up on the Richter scale. It

(45:59):
would have the effect of a local earthquake, and I
guess it would collapse, tunnels, collapse underground halls, things of
that sort. I don't know, but this is the absolute
question that motivates Israel. This is why they say they
can't get along without the US. Now, the US is
already as we said, well I didn't say, but they

(46:20):
have these two destroyers, perhaps with other ships by now,
to shoot down ballistic missiles as they come over the
horizon headed towards Tel Aviv. They can use this IEGIS
system that they have. They've got fad THHD and we've
got the Patriot system, but those I think are in
the hands of the Israelis by now. So the B

(46:42):
two bombers they would be coming probably from Diego Garcia,
theoretically a British base long used by the United States.
That might be a possible starting point. Cypress maybe, but
again Cypress is in that narrow Mediterranean where their threats
can pop up out of nowhere, out of the land mass,

(47:03):
which is not that far away. I would assume that
they've got B fifty two's coming. I would have they
would be at Diego Garcio. These can carry significant numbers
of cruise missiles standoff missiles, so I hadn't planned on
talking quite so much about this, but I guess we'll
talk about it a little bit more if you had

(47:25):
an Iranian regime on your side, and the crazier the
better in some ways, because that would then say, people
who would threaten Europe with closing the Straits of Hormuz
would be a useful tool. They'd be useful assets to have.
So there were reasons why Komeni the iotolal Coomania is
regarded by some writers as a kind of combination of

(47:49):
the traditional mullus of Iran with the dose of what
some call the Muslim Brotherhood. You've heard me talk about
those guys, and you'd normally say, well, you know, the
Muslim Brotherhood is long largely Sunni, and these Mudlos in
Iran they're largely Shiites, So how is that possible? And
I've gotten the impression over the years that there's a

(48:10):
pretty thorough kind of cooperation between the Shiite side of
things and the Muslim Brotherhood and the Sunnis. So there
we go, and you know, once again, death to America,
Death to Iraq. This is sort of Greek chorus in
the background. This is the constant refrain in the background,

(48:31):
and the other thing on this is that. And you've
heard me say, I don't think the Islamic Republic is
actually a legitimate republic. I think it was constructed. I
think it was created for a certain purpose. You have
the Shah Resiplavi. He was rapidly industrializing. He was a

(48:53):
brutal dictator, no doubt about it. But he had a
goal and this was being done for a purpose, and
it was to get nuclear energy modernization. In nineteen sixty three,
the Shot carried out something called the White Revolution, and
the right White revolution was kind of land reform at
the expense of the big landowners. And they were in

(49:14):
a way, they were like Catholic priest among presents of
the old regime and the fifteen hundreds or the sixteen
hundreds in France, the local priests of the agent largely
of the local landowner and the local noble family. So
this was a fight. It was called the White Revolution.
It was the Shah against all of these what he

(49:37):
would have called the feudal backwards, the interests who did
not want modernization. And sure enough, when the Malas the
Iotolas took over, there was a nuclear reactor under construction,
and they stopped the construction. So there was a very
strong backward element. These religious organizations are always reactionary, they're

(49:59):
always back There is anti modernization things of this sort.
So we have these personalities. Komani I think, I think
people remember him. Ayatola Baheshti. He was kind of his deputy,
your boss. They had different views. But in fact Ayatola
Kalkhali was the hanging judge who seemed to, you know,

(50:23):
take a delight in capital punishment. And you know, when
you go to Iran, I know you don't know this,
but the Malas, a lot of them are fabulously rich.
For example, you get into an airline in Tehran, you
go to Sharaz for example, and they say, you know,
Ayatola Rafshanjani owns this RAF's and Johnny having been the

(50:46):
president before Ahmadina Johd or significantly before. Here's a list
of people in the United States government at the time
who thought it would be a good idea to dump
modernizing the Shah or I should say, dump the modernising
sean brutal dictator though he was, and replace it with
a brutal dictator who would not have anything to do

(51:06):
with modernization. It was Cyrus Fance George Ball of the
State Department al Haig General Houser. I guess most of
them called him the three ah Club. You've heard of
the four age club. This is the three age club
Hezblahamas and the houthis of which one half of one
is left. And there was also desire, certainly not to

(51:29):
have a new form of Nassarism. We could say the
Bugaboos of the West in terms of the backward people
of the West looking to the Middle East, they would
say at a Turk's modernization, a modern Turkey, that was terrible,
and this group wanted them kept backwards and united. And
later on Nassarism Gamal abdel Nasser president of Egypt, which

(51:55):
is Arab socialism. It was called pejoratively, you know, because
socialism really benefits the people, but it was really it
was just pejorative. Really, it was about modernization, and we
talked about this at various times. But in the post
war period Nasarism in its various manifestations because they were

(52:16):
in Naser type of leaders. There were Naser type of
leaders in Iraq and in Syria and in Libya, and
of course they varied in quality and brutality. In all
these other things. But this was a way out of
the permanent backwardness which you see, which has now reasserted
itself with the Islamic Republic to some degree, even though

(52:41):
some places obviously better off than others. The protests of
the he Job were in twenty twenty two twenty twenty three,
whole world was horrified by the death of Massan Amidie
and police custody. The other thing, Commani at the beginning
was almost overthrown in the very first phase. The imperialists
who put Commanding in power, we're interested in getting the

(53:03):
most out of their investment. And it looked like at
the beginning Comani was turning out to be so benighted
and so backwards, and so oppressive and so reactionary that
it led to the idea that you might be overthrown
from the very beginning. So anyway, this is about all
we have time for. Thanks for listening. We'll be back
with another show on Monday. Have a great weekend. This

ABC News Radio, I'm Brian Shook. The Senate is hoping
to start debate on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Friday,
but there are new speed bumps. The Senate parliamentarian, also
known as the referee, rejected key medicaid provisions in the
GOP's tax and spending bill. That means the measure is

(58:07):
still being worked on, and several Republicans say they won't
debate it until they see the final version. Democrat and
Republican senators are speaking following and Intel briefing on the
Iran strikes, but with vastly different takeaways. Tom Cotton of
Arkansas said between the Israeli and US strikes, Iranians nuclear

(58:27):
ambitions were delta, a serious blow.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
You look at the whole span of what happened over
twelve days.

Speaker 7 (58:33):
That's why we're confident that we have had an extraordinary success.

Speaker 6 (58:38):
Meanwhile, Connecticut's Chris Murphy said Iran's nuclear program has been damaged,
but not obliterated. As President Trump maintains a heat dome
impacting millions across the central and eastern US is starting
to lift. Forecasters say temperatures will start falling in the Northeast,
where places like New York and New England have been

(58:59):
reporting record heat. The judge in the Brian Coburger case
has denied emotion from the defense to delay the trial.
Brad Ford has.

Speaker 7 (59:08):
More Bryan Coberger's legal team wanted to delay because of
the volume of evidence that needed to be reviewed, potentially
prejudicial media coverage, and preparations for the penalty phase. The
judge rule of the defense had time to review materials
and the delay would not reduce media coverage. The trial
is set for August. Coburger is accused of the murders
of four University of Idaho students in twenty twenty two.
