Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yesterday, President Trump jokingly said he's ready to install nuclear
missiles on the White House roof.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And why not under the same roof they.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Just had four years of nuclear waste. A man purchased
the original Burken handbag from nineteen eighty four for ten
million dollars, tying ABC's record for most money spent on
an old bag. President Trump said he wonders if Jasmine
(00:42):
Crockett is related to the late Great Davy Crockets.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
He's not far off.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
One fought in the Alamo and the other should work
at Alamo.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Michelle Obama wished her.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Husband Brock a happy sixty fourth birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And said he's quote the coolest guy I know.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right back at you, he said, I don't get it.
A new study says a running after dinner can improve
a rectal dysfunction. Yeah, especially if you're running from this.
A naked man wearing nothing but a black gimp mask
(01:25):
and sneakers was caught on video prowling the streets of
a quiet town in England. You know, maybe I'm getting old,
but I can remember a time when brit Hume spent
his vacation in the Hamptons. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm working on it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
According to The Daily Mail, McDonald's has revealed that it's
the character known as Grimace is actually a taste bud,
dispelling the previous belief that it was Ronald McDonald's butt plug.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Explains the purple color.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Finally, a Danish zoo is asking people to donate their
pets so they can feed them to their dangerous carnivores.
It's the same method ABC uses to feed theirs.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's two for the price of one.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
All right, So, as you know, I was off yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was getting a colonoscopy. You know, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So many medical students wanted to watch. But good news.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
My pipe's got a clean bill of health.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The doctors actually gave me a video of my procedure.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Would you like to see it?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
All right, I think we have it here. Wow, thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
They found my universal remote. But it looks pretty clean
in there, which is quite a contract to the state
of our Sorry media, talk about buttholes. The media continues
to deceive us by making news the way Hollywood makes movies.
A movie as a script and the media a narrative.
Movies have writers, directors, and actors, while the media has producers, editors,
(03:18):
and sources. The same way Hollywood made Jurassic Park look real,
the media does the same with a script director and
real life dinosaurs. And now their new narrative exploits the
confusing world of jerrymandering, where parties redraw voting maps to
gain house seats.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's a practice as.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Old as selling horse meat to orphanages, which is how
I got my second vote. But last week, when Texas
Republicans proposed a new map, Texas Democrats fled the state
in order to block it, and naturally the media read
their script and.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
The rest of the Texas legislature and Greg Abbott want
to rig this.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And not even trying to hide how shady it is.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's a showdown that could have a big impact on
democracy in this country.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I think Donald Trump is trying to sell the election
key and his fellow Republicans are already scheming away to
maintain power.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
We do now live in a country that has an
authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in
our country. And it sounds melodramatic to say it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
You melodramatic, never, so what's the narrative there? Well, that
practices used by Republicans are somehow new. But this is
an example of context collapse.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Erase the pass to.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Pretend the Republicans were the first people to ever do this,
when in reality it's a response to Dems who had
perfected it. As Democrat Dems hide in Chicago, they won't
mention Illinois's district lines have been redrawn more than Pelosi's eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Three of the.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
State's seventeen seats are held by Republicans, but Trump still
got a forty three percent. How do you explain that
Massachusetts saw thirty six percent go to Trump, yet all
nine reps are Dems. New York saw forty three percent
of voters swing red, but only seven of their twenty
six districts are Republican. In California went sixty two percent
(05:17):
for Harris, yet only nine of their fifty two seats
belonged to Republicans. Also, we can't forget the Dems were
the ones who wanted to make DC estate, pack the courts,
and get rid of the electoral College. But they rely
on our limited knowledge of this, which is not our fault.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We all have lives.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
We can't follow jerry mandering anymore than we can follow
Jim acostas dying career. But the Dems always exploit things
that are important but deliberately boring.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It's why when they do something.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Horrible, they obscure it with flowery language to bore you
to death. First they use the false euphemism sex change,
then your well in term gender affirming care to hide
what amounts to.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Utilation of healthy people. They did that with.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Words too, like undocumented criminal justice reform and anti racism,
which means permanent racism. Suddenly a human trafficking spousal abuser
becomes a Maryland dad.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it's not your fault.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You're no expert on Jerry Manderin. You don't have to
be an expert on it or anything. You only have
to be expert on one thing, the media, and that's easy.
Never trust those assholes. Each subject they cover will be
twisted like a balloon into a poodle at a kid's party,
either to prove a narrative, even a score, or do
(06:34):
a favor. Fact is, reporters know less about the topic
than the people familiar with the topic. For example, at
Men's Health, I was an expert on rock hard abs.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know if I came across the story on how
to get him.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I could tell if it was BS, and it was
always BS. It's impossible to get rock hard ABS unless
you're me. Now apply that to everything from climate to
the economy to crime. Every article flunks the expert test.
(07:10):
Now you don't know that because you're not an expert
on everything, but neither am I.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And that's okay.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You don't have to be because you know better than
all of those experts put together.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Let's welcome tedit scared. He looks like he sells exotic
animals in the parking lot. Comedian Rich Voss, the shark
from Jaws, calls her.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
A man eater fox who's anchor and author.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Of the new children's book a monumental mistake.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
What is that having kids? Julie ben Darre She made her.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Cancer go away by talking about her exes.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
New York Times bestselling author of.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Box Suits Again, Tributaric cat Tim and he's on every
Old Ladies bucket list, New York Times best Selling author,
Commedia former w Worldpa Tyrs.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know you look like rich that you just came
back from a really successful outing at the dog fights.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
First of all, the barber shop I work at makes
me wear this, okay?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Do you still sell keeping cigars out of the trunk
of your car along with a.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Longer tapes an incense? I like this shirt.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's this is me. You better like it? You wear
it every day? No, I have three of the same color,
much like your wife.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh right, all right, anesthesia, give me a break.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So Rich, I bet you know nothing about Jerry managering?
Am I right? Okay? So what what would be.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Your response to that eloquent monologue I just did having
no knowledge of the topic.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
First of all, the first part of the monologue were
the best jokes I've ever heard you do.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
They were amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm telling you, they were great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They were really good. Oh thank you, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And I didn't think what I wrote for you you
would be able to deliver it like that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So I wonder what that would be like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I thought you were going to go to Rachel Maddow first.
I had a good one on that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well, what do you make of Rachel? She's very, very,
very dramatic and upset. Do you worry about her?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, the thing is, I'm surprised that she even uses
the word dictatorship, because you know how much she hates
Dick tators.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I have a soft spot for wordplace.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Why I'm not supposed to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh no, you're right, she doesn't like dictators.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well here's the thing about her. Yes, my opinion is
gain one hundred pounds, dye your hair, per bolt, and
shut up camp at Columbia Universe, and then she'll have
people listening to her.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, that's where the audience is.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's what I'm saying. I got greedy again.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I know you should have stopped after the other Joe,
but you'll you'll have time to make up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
For it in the next round. I can't wait where
the prices will be.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Couple Julie, congratulations on the children's book.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
How Ironic.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Children's book by Julie Bars.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's like a cookbook from Jeffrey Dahmer. So what do you?
People can buy it anywhere? I suppose yea.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
From his tom or his trunk. We don't sell cigars
or incense. But this book is about respect. You can
get on bravebooks dot com. But it actually is about
teaching children respect. And I know that that's shocking to
me because I don't usually respect those around me. Yes,
but I will say it's one thing that parents have
done of drop the ball on teaching our kids respect,
and this country is pretty much going nowhere fast as
(11:07):
far as the respect, the lact of respect.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That we all right, nice plug, let's get onto the topically.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
My goodness, that's disgusting what she just did. Feel free
to relate this topic though, to your book.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Jasmine Crockett needs to learn some respect. So this is
jerry mandering. First of all, this is ridiculous. This is
the Democrats that are upset because the Republicans stand to
lose or to gain five seats. Okay, Jasmine Crockett is
complaining because this could potentially cost her her district, and
it rightfully should. These these these congress women do not
(11:40):
even reside in the district that they represent. Alexandro Cosio Cortes,
none of her constituents know her. These people are elected
to districts and they don't even live there.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
They don't have any addresses.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
There.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Crocket's full of Crockett.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
There you go, Yeah, why don't the gloves just come
off and they both sides just start jerrymandering the hell
out of the country because like, like why not, why
not they do it?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We do it. Let's just let the gloves come off,
see what happens.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Well, I think that's what they're trying to do. Yes,
I think that's already happening. I mean, both sides do
things to make themselves sound better and look better. And
I do not understand jerry mandering, right, Not everybody knows
a lot about it. Is confusing, it's kind of boring.
But I don't understand the argument that this is now
(12:32):
the end of democracy, especially the Massachusetts governor talking about, oh, yeah, well,
we're gonna jerrymander you back when they already have exactly
zero Republicans in Congress. So I don't know how. I mean,
I didn't know that. I didn't know that Massachusetts had
zero Republicans in Congress because you know, I have a
(12:52):
job and a life and a kid and pets, so
not everybody would know that, but I'm sure the governor
of Massachusetts did know that. So I don't know what
you're kind of going for there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, no, it's true. We work in media and we
don't know. No, that's my point. You guys shouldn't know
this stuff. We shouldn't know this stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I'm glad you're okay. By the way, when I heard
you had to have a routine colonoscopy. I was like,
how much can one man take?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I really am the brave one I know, I know, Yes, rus.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, would you like to pay me a compliment for
my selflessness?
Speaker 9 (13:31):
And under no, no, I'm not, under no circumstances will
I do that? Yeah? I feel bad for Jerry. Yeah,
you know old jerry mandering. I don't think this is
what he wanted. Wanted to draw a map in districts
where people knew where they could vote. It makes me
laugh about this whole thing is that they're they're crying
over basically four percent they own. They have seventy nine
(13:52):
percent of the districts in Texas already they're going to
lose to be down to seventy four percent. It's it's
laughable how much little common sense they actually use. It
just it's just going to backfire because no one was
paying attention to this now like you were like a
cat just brought up. Holy there's no Republicans in Massachusetts.
(14:15):
Now people are starting to look like, wait a minute,
you guys do.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
This all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
So they're drawing attention to themselves, they're outing themselves, and
nothing makes Americans more exciting about retreating, running away to
somewhere else and talking from the other side of the country. Yeah,
that's really not the American way. Even if you lose
the vote, even if you lose in the argument, you're
supposed to stay and fight.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And so all the Democrats are doing are further letting
us know how unburdened we are by what has been Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
And on that note, let us unburden you with a
break up next.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Trump shure loves Davy Crockett.
Speaker 10 (14:57):
Fine dal so easily shattered by the complex i ill
political calculations of the reader. Throughout his presidency, Trump had
often boasted about his unconventional approach to diplomacy. He believed
that publicly lambasting allies putting pressure on them was an
(15:20):
effective target to achieve his goals. But in this instance,
was exposing such a deep rift to the public as
shrewd move or did it simply weaken America's position as
a mediator. Trump's public outbursts at Naton Yahoo marked the
staff on his unbelievable shift. Two days earlier, on June
(15:43):
twenty second, twenty twenty five, Trump had showered praise on Nathiaho,
calling him a warrior and crediting their partnership for successful
strike Iranian nuclear sites. The mutual admiration between the two
built the foundation of right wing populism and skepticism towards
(16:03):
global institutions seemed unshakable.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So what changed.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
Trump's frustration seems rooted in what he perceived as a
betrayal of trust and a direct threat to his diplomatic achievement.
For Trump, this ceasefire was a personal win, proof of
his unique negotiating powers. Any violation was a direct affront
(16:31):
to his reputation and ego. But for the Yahoo, the
calculus was far more complex. Facing intense domestic pressure and
an ongoing corruption trial. Appearing tough on Iran could have
been an irresistible political imperative. Analolysts like Lord Rickett, the
(16:54):
former UK National Security Advisor, have often pointed out that
leaders weekly prioritize domestic political survival over international commitments, especially
when their very leadership is on the line. This incident
(17:14):
doesn't just expose the cracks in their personal relationship between
Trump and Anthonyahu, it also highlights the inherent risks of
Trump's personal diplomacy strategy. When a superpower's foreign policy hinges
so heavily on the personality and individual relationships of one leader,
(17:37):
it becomes incredibly vulnerable to personal clashes and domestic political pressures.
Despite the rocky staff, Trump insists the ceasefire remains in
effect and he's ruled out pursuing regime change in Iran.
Yet the situation remains volatile. Israeli and Iranian officials continually
trade blame for the ongoing violence. Ui in state media
(18:00):
outlets are consistently broadcasting reports of news strikes, while is
rarely officials assert they are acting in self defense. This
drama once again underscores the complex, often volatile dynamic between
Trump and then to the Yahoo, a relationship that has
swung between mutual admiration and open hostility, but now faces
(18:26):
one of its most public and dangerous tests. If tensions regnite,
the consequences will be catastrophic. A full blown conflict in
the Middle East wouldn't just impact the nations in the region,
it would send devastating ripple effects through the global economy,
(18:49):
particularly oil prices. Furthermore, it could easily draw in other
global powers lead into a much wider regional war, a
scenario that no one wants to contemplate. Looking back at
this entire episode, one can't help but question Trump's over archistrlogy.
Did his public withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in
(19:11):
May eight, twenty eighteen and moved many experts believe significantly
escalated regional tensions truly lay in the ground word for
his confrontation as big as a. John Bolton, Trump's former
national security advisor, consistently pushed for a maximum pressure campaign
against Iran. Was that truly effective or did it simply
(19:32):
push Iran further into a corner. Critics like Tucker Carson,
who at times supported Trump but also didn't shy away
from lambasting his policies my well way in on the
failure of the America First strategy to bring stability to
an already volatile region. Some might argue that Trump's approach,
(19:57):
particularly with his public declaration of I'm not happy with
Israel on Twitter on June twenty fifth, twenty five, only
deepen the visions and embolden both sides to continue escalating.
This incident is a stark reminder that in the intricate
world of geopolitics, no solution is simple. The decisions made
(20:24):
by leaders, whether from the White House or the Prime
Minister's office, carry far reaching, sometimes unpredictable consequences as the
world watches the fate of the Sea Spile and the
future of the US Israeli relations hanged precuriously in the balance.
Can old allies by new common grounds, or will there's
(20:46):
once rock solid relationship fracture completely under the weight of
political calculations and personal discord. Whatever the answer is, one
thing is clear. The Middle East remains a powder keg,
and any spark, no matter how smore, could ignite a
global catastrophe. Thank you for joining us today, and if
(21:07):
you want to dive deeper into any aspect of this
story or explore other perspectives, don't hesitate to let us know.
We'll be back next time with more insights into the
story of shaping our world. Right now, the entire world
is holding its breath a Sirens blair across the Middle East.
Iran once again is pushing tensions to the brink of
(21:30):
war with a truly shirking threat to close the Strait
of Homas. This isn't just empty rhetoric, no, not at all.
This is a move that could cripple the global energy
lifeline and ignite one of the worst economic crisis in decades.
And who's at the eye of the storm, President Donald
(21:50):
Trump with his bold military decisions. But here's the big question,
could they actually be fatal missteps? Just over this past weekend, specifically,
on June twenty first, twenty twenty five, a series of
blistering airstrikes reportedly targeting several Iranian nuclear sites, including facilities
(22:11):
near Natanz and Fordeaux, were ordered by President Trump. Initial
reports indicate at least three major facilities were hit, with
an estimated five hundred million dollars in damage to infrastructure.
Do you see how this isn't just an isolated incident.
Clearly it's not. This is part of what Washington called
(22:33):
a maximum pressure campaign, escalating the confrontation between these two
nations to a dangerous new level. And of course Tehran's
response was equally swift and defiance. On June twenty third,
twenty twenty five, Irand parliament volted unanimously to approve a
(22:53):
proposal to close the trait uponmas. On June twenty third,
twenty twenty five, General Abdollaim Mosaville, command of the Uranian Army,
stated if our oil exports are to be stopped, then
no other country will be able to export or through
the Strait of Homas. We have the full capability to
implement this. Now, this isn't some idle threat, ladies and gents.
(23:17):
The Strait of Homas, though narrow, is the undisputed artery
of the world's oil industry. To give you a sense
of its importance, approximately twenty percent of the world's total
oil supply, that's nearly twenty million barrels per day simply
must pass through this strategic waterway. The final decision on
(23:37):
the closure now rests with around Supreme National Security Council.
Airspace of the Persian Gulf is on high alert, with
US and Allied defense systems significantly bolstered. Critical US military
bases like r U daid In Kadah are on high
combat readiness. They see an unprecedented threat. So why is
(23:59):
it the Straits of Hormand so incredibly vital and why
would the RUMs threat to close it sends such
Yesterday, President Trump jokingly said he's ready to install nuclear
missiles on the White House roof.

on our limited knowledge of this, which is not our fault.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We all have lives.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
We can't follow jerry mandering anymore than we can follow
Jim acostas dying career. But the Dems always exploit things
that are important but deliberately boring.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It's why when they do something.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Horrible, they obscure it with flowery language to bore you
to death. First they use the false euphemism sex change,
then your well in term gender affirming care to hide
what amounts to.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Utilation of healthy people. They did that with.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Words too, like undocumented criminal justice reform and anti racism,
which means permanent racism. Suddenly a human trafficking spousal abuser
becomes a Maryland dad.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it's not your fault.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You're no expert on Jerry Manderin. You don't have to
be an expert on it or anything. You only have
to be expert on one thing, the media, and that's easy.
Never trust those assholes. Each subject they cover will be
twisted like a balloon into a poodle at a kid's party,
either to prove a narrative, even a score, or do
(06:34):
a favor. Fact is, reporters know less about the topic
than the people familiar with the topic. For example, at
Men's Health, I was an expert on rock hard abs.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know if I came across the story on how
to get him.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I could tell if it was BS, and it was
always BS. It's impossible to get rock hard ABS unless
you're me. Now apply that to everything from climate to
the economy to crime. Every article flunks the expert test.
(07:10):
Now you don't know that because you're not an expert
on everything, but neither am I.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And that's okay.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You don't have to be because you know better than
all of those experts put together.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Let's welcome tedit scared. He looks like he sells exotic
animals in the parking lot. Comedian Rich Voss, the shark
from Jaws, calls her.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
A man eater fox who's anchor and author.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Of the new children's book a monumental mistake.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
What is that having kids? Julie ben Darre She made her.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Cancer go away by talking about her exes.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
New York Times bestselling author of.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Box Suits Again, Tributaric cat Tim and he's on every
Old Ladies bucket list, New York Times best Selling author,
Commedia former w Worldpa Tyrs.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You know you look like rich that you just came
back from a really successful outing at the dog fights.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
First of all, the barber shop I work at makes
me wear this, okay?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Do you still sell keeping cigars out of the trunk
of your car along with a.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Longer tapes an incense? I like this shirt.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's this is me. You better like it? You wear
it every day? No, I have three of the same color,
much like your wife.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh right, all right, anesthesia, give me a break.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So Rich, I bet you know nothing about Jerry managering?
Am I right? Okay? So what what would be.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Your response to that eloquent monologue I just did having
no knowledge of the topic.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
First of all, the first part of the monologue were
the best jokes I've ever heard you do.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
They were amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm telling you, they were great.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They were really good. Oh thank you, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And I didn't think what I wrote for you you
would be able to deliver it like that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So I wonder what that would be like.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I thought you were going to go to Rachel Maddow first.
I had a good one on that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well, what do you make of Rachel? She's very, very,
very dramatic and upset. Do you worry about her?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, the thing is, I'm surprised that she even uses
the word dictatorship, because you know how much she hates
Dick tators.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I have a soft spot for wordplace.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Why I'm not supposed to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Oh no, you're right, she doesn't like dictators.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well here's the thing about her. Yes, my opinion is
gain one hundred pounds, dye your hair, per bolt, and
shut up camp at Columbia Universe, and then she'll have
people listening to her.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, that's where the audience is.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's what I'm saying. I got greedy again.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I know you should have stopped after the other Joe,
but you'll you'll have time to make up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
For it in the next round. I can't wait where
the prices will be.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Couple Julie, congratulations on the children's book.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
How Ironic.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Children's book by Julie Bars.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's like a cookbook from Jeffrey Dahmer. So what do you?
People can buy it anywhere? I suppose yea.
Speaker 7 (10:45):
From his tom or his trunk. We don't sell cigars
or incense. But this book is about respect. You can
get on bravebooks dot com. But it actually is about
teaching children respect. And I know that that's shocking to
me because I don't usually respect those around me. Yes,
but I will say it's one thing that parents have
done of drop the ball on teaching our kids respect,
and this country is pretty much going nowhere fast as
(11:07):
far as the respect, the lact of respect.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That we all right, nice plug, let's get onto the topically.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
My goodness, that's disgusting what she just did. Feel free
to relate this topic though, to your book.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Jasmine Crockett needs to learn some respect. So this is
jerry mandering. First of all, this is ridiculous. This is
the Democrats that are upset because the Republicans stand to
lose or to gain five seats. Okay, Jasmine Crockett is
complaining because this could potentially cost her her district, and
it rightfully should. These these these congress women do not
(11:40):
even reside in the district that they represent. Alexandro Cosio Cortes,
none of her constituents know her. These people are elected
to districts and they don't even live there.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
They don't have any addresses.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
There.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Crocket's full of Crockett.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
There you go, Yeah, why don't the gloves just come
off and they both sides just start jerrymandering the hell
out of the country because like, like why not, why
not they do it?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We do it. Let's just let the gloves come off,
see what happens.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Well, I think that's what they're trying to do. Yes,
I think that's already happening. I mean, both sides do
things to make themselves sound better and look better. And
I do not understand jerry mandering, right, Not everybody knows
a lot about it. Is confusing, it's kind of boring.
But I don't understand the argument that this is now
(12:32):
the end of democracy, especially the Massachusetts governor talking about, oh, yeah, well,
we're gonna jerrymander you back when they already have exactly
zero Republicans in Congress. So I don't know how. I mean,
I didn't know that. I didn't know that Massachusetts had
zero Republicans in Congress because you know, I have a
(12:52):
job and a life and a kid and pets, so
not everybody would know that, but I'm sure the governor
of Massachusetts did know that. So I don't know what
you're kind of going for there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, no, it's true. We work in media and we
don't know. No, that's my point. You guys shouldn't know
this stuff. We shouldn't know this stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I'm glad you're okay. By the way, when I heard
you had to have a routine colonoscopy. I was like,
how much can one man take?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
I really am the brave one I know, I know, Yes, rus.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, would you like to pay me a compliment for
my selflessness?
Speaker 9 (13:31):
And under no, no, I'm not, under no circumstances will
I do that? Yeah? I feel bad for Jerry. Yeah,
you know old jerry mandering. I don't think this is
what he wanted. Wanted to draw a map in districts
where people knew where they could vote. It makes me
laugh about this whole thing is that they're they're crying
over basically four percent they own. They have seventy nine
(13:52):
percent of the districts in Texas already they're going to
lose to be down to seventy four percent. It's it's
laughable how much little common sense they actually use. It
just it's just going to backfire because no one was
paying attention to this now like you were like a
cat just brought up. Holy there's no Republicans in Massachusetts.
(14:15):
Now people are starting to look like, wait a minute,
you guys do.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
This all the time.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
So they're drawing attention to themselves, they're outing themselves, and
nothing makes Americans more exciting about retreating, running away to
somewhere else and talking from the other side of the country. Yeah,
that's really not the American way. Even if you lose
the vote, even if you lose in the argument, you're
supposed to stay and fight.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And so all the Democrats are doing are further letting
us know how unburdened we are by what has been Yes.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
And on that note, let us unburden you with a
break up next.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Trump shure loves Davy Crockett.
Speaker 10 (14:57):
Fine dal so easily shattered by the complex i ill
political calculations of the reader. Throughout his presidency, Trump had
often boasted about his unconventional approach to diplomacy. He believed
that publicly lambasting allies putting pressure on them was an
(15:20):
effective target to achieve his goals. But in this instance,
was exposing such a deep rift to the public as
shrewd move or did it simply weaken America's position as
a mediator. Trump's public outbursts at Naton Yahoo marked the
staff on his unbelievable shift. Two days earlier, on June
(15:43):
twenty second, twenty twenty five, Trump had showered praise on Nathiaho,
calling him a warrior and crediting their partnership for successful
strike Iranian nuclear sites. The mutual admiration between the two
built the foundation of right wing populism and skepticism towards
(16:03):
global institutions seemed unshakable.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So what changed.
Speaker 10 (16:10):
Trump's frustration seems rooted in what he perceived as a
betrayal of trust and a direct threat to his diplomatic achievement.
For Trump, this ceasefire was a personal win, proof of
his unique negotiating powers. Any violation was a direct affront
(16:31):
to his reputation and ego. But for the Yahoo, the
calculus was far more complex. Facing intense domestic pressure and
an ongoing corruption trial. Appearing tough on Iran could have
been an irresistible political imperative. Analolysts like Lord Rickett, the
(16:54):
former UK National Security Advisor, have often pointed out that
leaders weekly prioritize domestic political survival over international commitments, especially
when their very leadership is on the line. This incident
(17:14):
doesn't just expose the cracks in their personal relationship between
Trump and Anthonyahu, it also highlights the inherent risks of
Trump's personal diplomacy strategy. When a superpower's foreign policy hinges
so heavily on the personality and individual relationships of one leader,
(17:37):
it becomes incredibly vulnerable to personal clashes and domestic political pressures.
Despite the rocky staff, Trump insists the ceasefire remains in
effect and he's ruled out pursuing regime change in Iran.
Yet the situation remains volatile. Israeli and Iranian officials continually
trade blame for the ongoing violence. Ui in state media
(18:00):
outlets are consistently broadcasting reports of news strikes, while is
rarely officials assert they are acting in self defense. This
drama once again underscores the complex, often volatile dynamic between
Trump and then to the Yahoo, a relationship that has
swung between mutual admiration and open hostility, but now faces
(18:26):
one of its most public and dangerous tests. If tensions regnite,
the consequences will be catastrophic. A full blown conflict in
the Middle East wouldn't just impact the nations in the region,
it would send devastating ripple effects through the global economy,
(18:49):
particularly oil prices. Furthermore, it could easily draw in other
global powers lead into a much wider regional war, a
scenario that no one wants to contemplate. Looking back at
this entire episode, one can't help but question Trump's over archistrlogy.
Did his public withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in
(19:11):
May eight, twenty eighteen and moved many experts believe significantly
escalated regional tensions truly lay in the ground word for
his confrontation as big as a. John Bolton, Trump's former
national security advisor, consistently pushed for a maximum pressure campaign
against Iran. Was that truly effective or did it simply
(19:32):
push Iran further into a corner. Critics like Tucker Carson,
who at times supported Trump but also didn't shy away
from lambasting his policies my well way in on the
failure of the America First strategy to bring stability to
an already volatile region. Some might argue that Trump's approach,
(19:57):
particularly with his public declaration of I'm not happy with
Israel on Twitter on June twenty fifth, twenty five, only
deepen the visions and embolden both sides to continue escalating.
This incident is a stark reminder that in the intricate
world of geopolitics, no solution is simple. The decisions made
(20:24):
by leaders, whether from the White House or the Prime
Minister's office, carry far reaching, sometimes unpredictable consequences as the
world watches the fate of the Sea Spile and the
future of the US Israeli relations hanged precuriously in the balance.
Can old allies by new common grounds, or will there's
(20:46):
once rock solid relationship fracture completely under the weight of
political calculations and personal discord. Whatever the answer is, one
thing is clear. The Middle East remains a powder keg,
and any spark, no matter how smore, could ignite a
global catastrophe. Thank you for joining us today, and if
(21:07):
you want to dive deeper into any aspect of this
story or explore other perspectives, don't hesitate to let us know.
We'll be back next time with more insights into the
story of shaping our world. Right now, the entire world
is holding its breath a Sirens blair across the Middle East.
Iran once again is pushing tensions to the brink of
(21:30):
war with a truly shirking threat to close the Strait
of Homas. This isn't just empty rhetoric, no, not at all.
This is a move that could cripple the global energy
lifeline and ignite one of the worst economic crisis in decades.
And who's at the eye of the storm, President Donald
(21:50):
Trump with his bold military decisions. But here's the big question,
could they actually be fatal missteps? Just over this past weekend, specifically,
on June twenty first, twenty twenty five, a series of
blistering airstrikes reportedly targeting several Iranian nuclear sites, including facilities
(22:11):
near Natanz and Fordeaux, were ordered by President Trump. Initial
reports indicate at least three major facilities were hit, with
an estimated five hundred million dollars in damage to infrastructure.
Do you see how this isn't just an isolated incident.
Clearly it's not. This is part of what Washington called
(22:33):
a maximum pressure campaign, escalating the confrontation between these two
nations to a dangerous new level. And of course Tehran's
response was equally swift and defiance. On June twenty third,
twenty twenty five, Irand parliament volted unanimously to approve a
(22:53):
proposal to close the trait uponmas. On June twenty third,
twenty twenty five, General Abdollaim Mosaville, command of the Uranian Army,
stated if our oil exports are to be stopped, then
no other country will be able to export or through
the Strait of Homas. We have the full capability to
implement this. Now, this isn't some idle threat, ladies and gents.
(23:17):
The Strait of Homas, though narrow, is the undisputed artery
of the world's oil industry. To give you a sense
of its importance, approximately twenty percent of the world's total
oil supply, that's nearly twenty million barrels per day simply
must pass through this strategic waterway. The final decision on
(23:37):
the closure now rests with around Supreme National Security Council.
Airspace of the Persian Gulf is on high alert, with
US and Allied defense systems significantly bolstered. Critical US military
bases like r U daid In Kadah are on high
combat readiness. They see an unprecedented threat. So why is
(23:59):
it the Straits of Hormand so incredibly vital and why
would the RUMs threat to close it sends such
