Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome in our number two, the Tony and
Dwite Chill, brought to you by the Kentucky Office of
Highway Safety. We've been telling you about this segment for
a couple of days. Now we'll get you involved in
the second segment at the bottom of the hour, round
ten thirty five. We'll take your phone calls if you
have any questions about the subject we're about to talk to. Now,
we have a native Kentuckian from right here in Jefferson County.
(00:22):
He was born and reared at Galarn Brothers Dairy Farm
in Valley Station Ouside, the largest dairy farm in Kentucky
at the time. He graduated from Murray State University, where
he played football and he ushered in the Howard Schnellenberger
area by beating my beloved Cardinals at Cardinals Station or
at Cardinals Stadium. And I was there.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Fairground field, fairground, great sales, worst astro turf in the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You'll have to have one of the most important parts.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, baby fish fries Ed moved on. He's active duty
Navy seal commissioned off are spanning three decades. He served
on seven seal teams in units, including twice as Seal
Team six, leading special operations, sensitive operations, classified missions all
(01:11):
over the world from the South end to the world.
He is a Navy seal also an Army ranger, one
of the very few to have done.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That, and that's in a very impressive resume. But I
have one question for you. Have you ever torn Achilles tendon? No?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I haven't. I gotta. I gotta thank my German genetics,
hard work and clean living. You gotta try that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The latter is the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You know I can't help you there.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
All right, So Katain Galla and thank you for coming.
Four time Bronze Star Medal recipients. So and let's get
right into it. We wanted to talk to you today.
You were referred to us, and I'm so glad that
we got to meet. But let's jump into the latest
situation in the Middle East as it evolves, the Twelve
Day War. I guess is what we're calling your thoughts
(02:00):
on that initially and how it ended.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, it's not ended. I want to go back
if I could listen at a larger level, they'll call
it to twelve Day War. But it's going on right
now as we speak, guarantee the Israelers are doing the
kind of things on the ground and in the area
to set the conditions to monitor the Iranians and what
they're doing now. It wasn't only the US strikes, and
I want to talk about that for a minute. There's
a lot of quibbling about what really happened in the
(02:24):
result of the strikes. At a higher level, here's the key.
We took decisive action. We demonstrated a will and a
capability to act. And you might recall the President said, well,
I might do something in two weeks, but he really
acted when the conditions were right. So he deferred to
the planners, folks that I want to give credit to you,
which I did for you at one time as a
(02:44):
professional career a military officer. So with respect to that,
he defer to them to set the conditions. To remember
that bit of a deception that they did. Guaranteed that
came from people that work in classified environments said look, boss,
here's what we can do. They did that very professionally,
laid out the courses about action and plan that so
that at a high level was decisive. Never Mind the
(03:05):
quibbling of was it or obliterated or destroyed or for
how many days and all that. At a high level,
we demonstrated to the Iranians and also the people watching Chinese,
Russia and North Korea and other adversaries that we will act,
and we will act in an unpredictable manner. So in
some the Trump administration pushed them to turns poker chips
back on the table, similar to President Reagan when he
(03:28):
came in. And we needed that badly, or we're going
to sleep walk right into World War three. And that's
not hype. So now let me unpick out a little
bit more. Remember it wasn't only the strikes. Credit's got
to be given to the Israelis. They neutralize their ability,
their anti aircraft ability, and their ability to detect US.
I want to add a caveat. There was some talk
about we did that undetected. Russia and China have capabilities.
(03:51):
They might not have wanted to divulge and may have
well known that we launched and what we were doing,
primarily because of their space based capabilities, but they didn't
want to divulge that they had that, so they didn't
tell the Iranians, if you follow me, So we shouldn't
overestimate about how clandestine or covert we were about that.
But the bottom line is we got to celebrate it.
(04:12):
It was a brilliant striking and op I want to
finish on the Israelis. Remember what else they did. They
basically took out the entire Iranian military leadership. Imagine all
of our chairmans joint and all of our key commanders.
That was a disruption and a psychological operation. Not only that,
who else did they take out all the primary nuclear
(04:34):
material scientists. So there's far more than the bombs in there.
There's a larger strategic impact. But now beware, do not
fall into the trap of mirror imaging our projection. Say
well we did all this, it's only twelve day war.
It's we're going to sue for peace now. Oh no, Surrey, Bob,
I've got a list here of three pages of what
(04:56):
the Iranians have done from the time you know from
the Bay Root bombing was again the prototype vehicle born
improvised explosive device that started that entire area in nineteen eighty,
two hundred and forty one Great Americans died, the largest
non nuclear detonation on the battlefield in history. When that occurred,
(05:18):
equal like twelve thousand pounds. But to finish that piece
out is so Now we're in a phase of watching
guaranteed the Iranians you're looking at passes prolog And I'm
no academic, because you know, I'm a fifth generation Farmer
crew military officer. Thanks for that introduction. It was an
honor and privilege to serve and lead those great Americans.
But with respect to that passes prologue, they've cheated at
everything they've ever done. Could I talk about a jacon
(05:39):
POA for a minute, so called deal again by my understanding,
and look it up. It's unclassified and I won't divulge
anything classified recognized, and I still work for you as
a senior advisor for Special Operations and government national Security.
The JCPOA specifically disallowed inspection of military sites in Iran.
(06:00):
Think about that. I'm not done. It specifically left out
their ballistic missile program. Why did they have ballistic missiles
to put a nuclear weapon on it to fire at
Israel and to reach Europe? It was also left out. Also,
there was a cave on in there, as I remember
that it was they had They got roughly twenty four
(06:22):
days notice of any inspection. So there was no no
notice anytime anyway. So they would sanitize a sight. So
this would this would be like you have a member
in your family it's an alcoholic, and you said, hey,
we're going to give you twenty four days till we
search your car. Oh, by the way, we're never going
to look in your room, right, but everywhere else's game.
(06:42):
So it was very flawed. Yes, I hear a lot
of celebration of regrettably, the facts aren't always laid out
about that. I'm going to go back to higher level.
The Iranians had cheated at everything they've ever done. Let's
also remember this, to put a bow on it, they
are led by a cleric, a cleric the world through
the lens of a Quran. They have an elected president,
(07:03):
but he answers to the cleric. Right, so sometimes that
gets confusing to the American public that you know, it
may not make sense, but everyone in the US, in
the Iranian government answers to that cleric. And remember what
he just did, fought was fought, was he issued fought
with many many will act on that in terms of
taking action because it's considered a clerical religious ruling that
(07:28):
has indicted someone in almost a semi religious legal way,
and there's experts going to being to that better than me.
But it's bad news story. In other words, he hadn't blinked.
You might recall he was celebrating, you know, we slapped
your face, We did this, we won, and so forth.
So he sees everything through a different lens. So to
finish that out, I would not declare victory, not that
you did. I wouldn't call it a twelve day war.
(07:48):
And again I come with a special ops lens and
a master's in military intelligence. And also you sent me
to the war. Call it to think and that strategically
the war is ongoing. You know, here's three pages of
what they done in the past. They'll pick and choose,
and right now they're they're planning and picking and choose
and what they're going to do next.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
When you when you enrich uranium, then the shelf life
starts to go.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Or so I believe you're the expert.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You might know, could this cease fire just to be
a let's try to reload and rebuild and start enriching
uranium if we.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Use past this Prolou absolutely absolutely right. The Great news Is.
Those strikes basically hit their oak Ridge type complex right
as they were trying to do their Manhattan Project. So
it was very decisive in terms of the ones they hit.
As an aside, our oak Ridge I meet initially had
five sites separated by ridge lines down there, you know,
because they weren't sure what was going to happen to
(08:41):
each one and if it was a.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Catastrophe started the Second World WARLD yet start.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Second word of the Manhattan Project. So with respect to that,
those strikes are very decisive and we hit centers of gravity.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I want to bounce off that you said decisive strikes.
Let's talk about the psychological aspect of when the when
the leaders were taken out by the is Raelis, they
were soon per surgical strikes, meaning taking out one apartment,
not taking out the rest of the neighbors. That has
to wear on the Iranians that the technology that they
(09:11):
I mean, they're out gunned, They're out everything I would
imagine or not, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The Iranians. Yeah, yeah, but men some of them aren't
going to think as we would in terms of projection
in mirror imaging. So you have to factor in there's
some of them that will factor in in shilah to
use the term, it doesn't matter to them. There's others
that are going to be somewhat would you consider reasonable?
What would you would expect to do is certainly there
would be a fracture within the Iranian government with respect
(09:39):
of some folks that might be more reasonable. And you
might remember we had a great opportunity was a two
thousand and nine the Green Revolution, and they were on
the streets as I recollect in that timeframe, with a
potential revolution or uprising, and they were crushed, Yeah, by
the Iranian.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, we all see those pictures of the of the
late sixties of women in universities in mini skirts and
in their books and all that, So we wish it
would go back to that. I want to ask about
the Saudis, where are they our allies and where do
they play in this role in the Middle East with US,
Israel and the rest of the rest of the folks.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, I'd answer it like this, The Mid East is
a game of thrones if I could, and it's a
men's a game great analogs. We could go down here
to UVL and it would be an entire undergraduate degree
and studying the fractures and the fissures and so forth
and so on, and with respect to what the administration
is doing with the Abraham Courts and trying to enlarge
Thows is strategically brilliant. I want to throw something else
(10:37):
out to the advocacy of rebuilding Gaza, similar to what
we did. And people forget how did we win World
We learned a lesson. We senior military leadership who advise
senior elected and appointment leaders. And I couldn't be having
this conversation with you back when I was Commodore Gawerund
or Capital Gawerund, or even Lieutenant Gowern because of the
constraints put upon me as an activiuty military officers. But
(10:57):
remember how we lost World War One. We did not
go back and rebuild. We suppressed Germany what was a
treaty of our sales and we crushed them within twenty years.
They had the most powerful military in the world. Ye right,
And people just kept ignoring, well it's okay, and they
started what annexing territory and when you appease them, look
(11:18):
what we got. And so I want to I want
to I want to.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Put as that tie into the Saudist.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, what I want to pull that in into what's
going on in the Israel and the Mid East writ large,
is we've got to realign and rebuild over there and
pull folks in to expand those accords in the same
way we rebuilt after World War Two after learning a
lesson to finish that out. Thanks Tony to learning that lesson,
because we had we had we real built Europe and
(11:45):
we rebuilt also Japan and then we stayed. Now we
don't need to stay in the Mid East. We need
our surrogates to do that, like the Saudis. We need
them to buide on it. What do they want? They
want trade, commerce and prosperity. Okay there, and that is
that's why ecadomic.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Are they really are partners is what I'm asking? Or
are they a bad actor behind our back?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'll speak to it in this way. Their interest is economic.
There's national, fire, diplomaticum, informational, military, and economic. I would
argue they're interested is in prosperity and that's where we
can win the day. So it was genius to go
over there and have that that meeting with the Mid
East and bring in the business folks and do those agreements. Also,
I want to give credit when we went to the
(12:27):
NATO meeting recently, we had muscle because the strikes in Iran.
What was the most key thing that came out of
those NATO meetings if you're Russia, China and North Korea
the five percent promise by the NATO countries to yep
their spending double it. Oh, that was that was key
and strategic.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's a game change, right, it needed to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We need to.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I want to rewind a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Tony brought this up.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It was in my notes as well, talking about the
pictures you see from the nineteen sixties of our Ran
I've seen video of Frank Sinatra, the chairman of the board,
performing in Iran nice arena, everybody dress skirts, the whole bit.
What percentage of our Iranians want to go back to that.
I know they tried to revote and they were crushed,
(13:12):
So I mean, I would imagine a message was saying,
you never try to uprise again. In your opinion, what
percentage of the Iranian population is against the way they're
living now under this law?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It appears a minority. I don't have the numbers on that.
We probably got some folks at UFL can answer that
better than I, but it appears a minority. So they
have iron hand cleric construct control in that country. So
it would be the will of the people is what
we would encourage. And again we missed a great opportunity
in two thousand and nine and then somehow supporting that
directly an interact.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Do they suppress the Internet and all that stuff in Irans?
So understanding, yes, yes, so they can't get online and
watch YouTube and how everyone else is living.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I would say this, there are workarounds, as I understand it,
but by and larger suppressed. Yeah, and you know, and
back to their history, they are also historically great traders.
They love prosperity, you know. To your point about their appearances,
they are very interested in being modern for lack of
better term. But again they've got since the over throw
(14:11):
of the Shaw in nineteen seventy nine, they've gone the
direction of the iototal ruling a cleric and he sees
the world through the lens of a kran And remember
I would characterize him as a suicide bomber looking for
a nuclear weapon. And so you're right, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It is I asked somebody that ran the museum of
the Jewish Museum over at the Baptist Seminary, and I said,
has there ever been peace in the Middle East? And
it was live television. He paused for the longest time,
and I guess he thought any went No, not for
any significant time.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And good, great point. We need to have a wider
lens and just what happened in the twelve days and
step back and remember past this prologue. It is time
now to do, you know, change the Mid East because
the problem is Iran.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yep Ed Gallian is our guest here today. He is
a former Navy seal and commander of the Seals intelligence
the whole deal up and down. He is a good
person to lean on for these kind of subjects. To
get between the minutia and all the talk of the
two different sides of the news organization. You get one
story from one and the other story from from another.
(15:16):
So we're trying to get through that and decide what's
happening twelve day before we go to break twelve days
war not over, it's still happening.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yes, because there's other things going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I got it all right, So we're gonna take a
short break. We'll come back. We're gonna talk to Ed
some more and Dwight. We're gonna we're gonna take some
phone calls if you have any questions. This will be
a couple of minutes. But if you want to wait
on the line, that's fine. Five seven, one, eight four
eighty four is the phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Try State Men's Health. Guys, how are things with your
partner in the bedroom and you suffer from ED? Suffer
no more? Drop the ego, drop the embarrassment. Let's just
get it fixed. Let's get it corrected with the best.
The best is Try State Men's Health. Here's why I
say that Try State Men's Health has a ninety percent
success rate comes to treating ED. That's unheard of. It's
(16:02):
gonna get better. Listen to this is risk free. Hear
me out. Your appointment is ninety nine dollars and is
well worth it because you get laud work done, You
get the blood results back within thirty minutes or less.
You sit down with a licensed medical professional to explain
all of your numbers. Here's the risk free part. Then
they give you a TESTOS. If that testos does not work,
(16:22):
you're ninety nine dollars were funded immediately. But chances are
it's gonna work because they have a ninety percent success
rate when it comes to treating ed guys. Get your
love life back, at your confidence back, and do it
with my friends at tri Statementshealth dot com.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Real Quick sell your house with Eland and Edland one
percent commission rate five nine nine twenty eight hundred, keep
the equity in your home and go with Eland and Eland.
They sold one half of all one percent deals last year.
Eland and Eedland five nine nine twenty eight hundred. Back
after this, we'll ask ed how many he can take
a best guess of how many Iranian sleeper cells he
(16:56):
thinks are in the United States and what possition did
he play for when he played for Murray State. Back
after this on news Radio Way forty w h A
S all right, we are back. El Gallron is our
guest today, former commander of the Navy Seals Intelligence the
whole shot. So we're asking questions that I think most
people want the answers to wait.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Before we talk international diplomacy and World War three, Let's
talk about something important. What pickles, baby, When did you
all start the pickles? You have your own pickle one,
what do you get these?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The family goes to food shows. The girls do have
an informed palette and they pick things to compliment the
vegetables out there coming out and see us, we got
corn coming out, our ears, the T shirt. The family
won't the family won't let any do that. That's a dollar.
That's a dollar out of the bed, Joe. But I'm
unskilled labor. You won't find me in the market. The
girls run the market. But the ladies picked those things.
(17:51):
But again, the we got some the flagships we corned
a lot of folks know about. We've been raising corn
in Kentucky for over one hundred years, so, like my
cousin says, we've done it wrong a couple of times,
so we know how to get it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So I've got two different kinds of pickles. I've got
the bread and butter that we love, but i also
have the sweet fire.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Now one of those is for Tony and I love pickles, yeah,
and I love spice.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
And this is a sweet fire, so that means a
sweet heat. It's got a little bit of sweetness. And
my man, all right, and.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You know you have a store at the farm so
people can buy all this.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yes, it's a market for any folk from me.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We'll see online.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Uh, we'll call on farms. Okay, the vegetables are rolling
in the girls a man market lunch every day except
for Sunday eleven to two. We open after church and
the cafes open, pet and zoos set up. A lot
of people think we're only opening the fall festival. No, no, no,
we open in mid April with the greenhouses.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Fourteen were four Navy seal or always the navy seal?
What's the navy shoe? Always the navy seals? Are right?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Just that you're a Navy seal, just to say I'm
a servant to our nation. Okay, here's my point.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
If somebodyce comes up and they say, hey, ed, we
gotta go, uh pull the cord. Where do you want
to start? Do you say stuff like, well start seven
clicks out?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Might I entity is a fifth generation farm and we've
been farming in Kentucky front. I speak fluent Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Well, you have a chance to ask ed about what's
going on right now? Five seven one eighty four eighty four.
We're taking your calls and after the news we're gonna
do that. But I want to tell you about Southern
Comfort hot tub. That's what Ed needs on the farm,
baby vacation, right there in your own backyard. You're gonna
love your Southern Comfort hot tubs. Susan and I we've
had one as long as we've been married, and we
(19:28):
love it. You're gonna love yours too, and you're gonna
love the summer sale going on right now. Prices as
low as they've been since the nineteen nineties. These are
the lowest prices you've seen since the nineteen nineties. Hot
tubs like three thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Hot tubs as low as sixty five dollars a month,
seventy five O one Preston Highway, Southern Comfort hot tub.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You got sixty seconds here. How many your best guests
without revealing any intelligence on America? How many sleeper cells
in the US from Iran or any other bad actors?
Would you guess?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well, personal only answer like this. They're not sleeping. All
the folks that got in and the frankly, the open
border would have been a trojan horse. Our enemies are
thinking enemies. We did not catch the smart ones. You
might recall, I mean they caught on what was there
was at least one of the Wagner Group, you know
(20:19):
famously the Russian paramilitary group Wagner Group better pronunciation, was
caught with a drone in his backpack. He wasn't coming
to look for airbnbs, all right, now, that's him, and
he's coming here to disrupt. Back to the Iranians and
other folks that we didn't catch the smart ones. Remember
what we when they say known god aways, there is
another category of the ones we don't know about, because
(20:42):
they knew where to cross word, to distract and how
to get there. I would offer they're not in a basement,
they're not in an attic, they're not in a barn.
They're not hiding. They're out amongst us. They're doing the reconnaissance,
they're preparing. They're hiding in plain sight so they can
get placement and access. Some of them are probably working,
some of them are probably right around us. I don't
mean to catch to cloud to doom or be hyperbolic
about it, but you've got to not discount the fact
(21:05):
that the enemy's already here and then recognize the fact
that how many several hundred were on the known terrorist
watch list. You've got a factor in how imperfect the
information is. I have a master's degree in intelligence and
have worked with the intelligence communities because at the strategical level,
that's key factor of all our planning. So with respect
to that, we don't know everything about those folks. So
(21:26):
just because you didn't have derogatory information or that they
were involved in something and doesn't mean that they weren't.
We're relying on countries that weren't very cooperative. Do you
have some information on these? So it's an imperfect database
to start with for the ones that we caught, But
I'd come full circle and say we didn't catch the
smart ones.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Wow, uh yes, no, or maybe sleeper selling Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Let's just say it's highly possible.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Back after this on news radio eight forty whas five
sent one eight four eighty four. Berth is on the
line already. We'll come back with your calls next. We're
here still talking to Ed galarn in Kentucky, native expert
in military intelligence, and we're specifically talking about the Middle
East today and we're taking this is a segment we'll
take phone calls from you. We wrapped up with the
(22:09):
possibility of a sleeper selling Kentucky on the last break.
So we're going to get your phone calls. Now, ask
your question and uh and we'll go to the next one.
We'll start with Bertha. You're up first. Bertha, You're on
news radio eight forty w.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
H as Hi, Good morning, guys, and thank you so
much for actually bringing Ed on to give some insight.
And thank you, sir for your service from a very
proud long term federal employee. So, actually two little questions.
The first question is do you think that the other
(22:41):
that some of the other small countries that are seeing
what's happening, you know, with ran and the bombings, you know,
do you think it's really making them think it's like, oh,
we don't want to get into this at all. And
second off, there's raccoons that have destroyed my corn this
(23:04):
year in my large gardens and I have a lot
of squash and we have I'm a longtime Kentucky girl gardener,
so farmer. I got squash borers this year and I
usually circle my you know, third acre of corn with
the squash because they don't like the little barbs on
(23:26):
the vines. Well, evidently the raccoons decided they're just gonna
make a dive for it in the bad squash. So
do you have any ideas?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
All right, let's say, Bertha, hang up, he'll answer your
You are an expert in both these I hope, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, okay, Well, I don't want to say I'm an expert.
But Bertha, we've done it wrong enough. Like my cousin
says that, every now and then we get it right.
But Berth, I got some bad news for you. Could
you throw in the towel on your garden and just
come on out to Guy Ryan's and get what we got.
We've got We've got what you call comparative advantage. I
don't want to make too heavy of a sales pitch,
but come on out, get by. We do that every
(24:01):
day from eleven to two and uh, grow flowers and
enjoy that.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
But you know, back to that, you know, for the coons,
you're gonna have to have dogs, all right, and then
you're gonna have to do a little research for your squash.
And depending on what's in and around you, there are
some items you can get. Maybe go down to southern
states and ask those folks, or you can go to
the county Extension office here or any Every county has
an extension office and they will help you with what
University of Kentucky says, here's sort of a battle plan
(24:26):
because there's others, some dependencies, but at a high level
birtha come on out and ask for me. I'm never
in the market. I'm unskilled labor. The girls are on
the market. I'm out on a tractor truck. Told he
was bothering me yesterday. Had to stop the tractor. Profit
margins are then on the farm. I don't tell you
what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
The first question she had, yes.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And that's why I said, well, those are a question.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Let's read it with this smaller countries. Uh does it
give them pause of what we did?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Absolutely, it'll it's a. It's a They are now realizing
that we have put to Terrens chips back on the
table and that we will play a part and we
will act decisively. So with respect to that, they will
calculate their alignments. And remember what we're fighting against is
China is doing a Cold War type strategy the way
(25:11):
we did it against the Soviets and defeated them. Remember
we didn't defeat the Soodivis by a battle We defeated
them by a strategy under President Reagan. We crushed them
economically while parallel concurrent, we were using diplomatic, informational and military
power to position ourselves. But it was the economic power
that beat the Soviets. That's what the Chinese are trying
(25:31):
to do to us. To come back to your question, yes, ma'am,
people are paying attention, they're making judgments. We need to
win the diplomatic, informational and that would be the soft
power aspect.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
All right, let's go to the phone lines. Five seventy one,
eight four eighty four is the phone number if you
have a question for Ed Kirk. You are on the
radio with us.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Now your question, Thank you for your service, captain from
the intelligence part of it, and looking forward, how do
we keep from going into.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
W W three?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh great question, the question. I'm afraid we're sleep walking
into it right now. And again you the taxpayer. And
let me add this those various degrees and such, I
didn Ed Goweran did not ask to go back to college.
You know, you might remember famously Murray Racer undergrad masters
in ag before I went off the official candidate school.
When President Reagan was rebuilding our nation in the service.
(26:25):
But if you look at history, we're in the most
volatile time since pre World War Two. The contours almost
exactly overlay. Remember pre World War Two, it was Nazi Germany,
it was Communist Soviet Union, it was the fascists in Italy,
and it was the fanatics in Japan. All right, those
(26:47):
are the four Now look who are against the Chinese
nationalistic chi As he has declared he is going to
reunite China and read and take it back to what
two thousand years ago power, and they want Taiwan back,
will come back to that North Korea and they have
declared Kim Jong Unn he's going to reunite the South
the you know Korea in terms of the South Peninsula.
(27:08):
You got Russian Putin's declared he wants to rebuild the
Soviet Empire, and you have Iran that wants to dominate
the Mideast. So with those contours overlaid, we're facing the
four horsemen apocalypse. Hold that parallel and concurrent, there is
a massive espionage campaign going on that we hear about daily. Remember,
(27:28):
the FBI and other intelligence community leadership CIA and others
has testified unclassified in front of Congress about the massive espionage,
i e. Spying and you know, not just the balloon.
And oh, by the way, that balloon that overflew US
was not looking for Airbnb. It was a giant vacuum
cleaner to vacuum up for future targeting and understanding both
(27:51):
kinetically and non kinetically. Think about its soaking up all
the airwaves and other things. Has got a huge solar
power array on it. It'd be interesting if the administration
would release what was really found when that balloon was
recovered to inform the American public to kind of threat
we face. And that's just one element of their espionage.
So there's a huge esmonage campaign exactly like Nazi Germany
(28:13):
did pre World War Two, that we're fighting so to
come full circle, if we don't put deterrence back on
the table, and remember deterrence is in the eyes of
the beholder, we've got to convince them we will take
We have the will and capability to take the action.
That's why the strikes in Iran were not only important
at the at the tactical level to disrupt their nuclear
(28:34):
weapons program, but at the strategic level, at a much
wider level. That was where the impact was more important.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
All right, let's keep the phone calls coming. Five seven one,
eight four eighty four ask ed here in this segment,
let's go to Elmer. Elmer, you're on news radio eight
forty whas.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Oh, yes, thank you, thanks for your SERVI this Scott Ryan.
I had a question what it is. I had looked
into this. Fourteen states at this point have a laws
that our adversaries cannot buy property. Kentucky's not one of them.
And I talked to a friend of mine that's a
state represented that they tried it a few years ago
(29:10):
and they rejected it. And I went forward again with
my representatives and do you have an opinion on that?
Or is that how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Or ard?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Do you you know ort to express yourself?
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I'll start with this. I can tell you that I
can tell you firsthand Chinese are not borrow buying farmland
and Kentucky to get rich. The profit margins are too thin, right,
we're struggling out the right. So I say that little
bit tongue in cheek, but that's truthful. They're being very
back to esme knowedge, They're being very strategic. Look at
where they buy to include near Fort Campbell. Wow, sir.
To answer your question, it goes back to elections. You know,
(29:43):
who are we electing that understands that kind of threat
and what are we doing about? As I understand, the
administration has taken that on and the Department of Agriculture
starting some efforts. It was just announced her recently. And oh,
by the way, we hosted the new Secretary of Agriculture
out at Galleryan Market just days after she was announced
back in February. We're glad to have her at a
family farm. Appreciate or coming, and so I look forward
to what they're going to do to help us to
(30:04):
protect that so at at a high level, we we
should have the checks and balances and in the controls
to understand who is buying this ground for what reason.
And although we want to have the freedoms here, it
is prudent to protect ourselves against our adversary.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I think I'm taking crazy pills to think that another
country can buy property in land in another country. They
wouldn't allow us to do that.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Well, they're about think about having open borders for four years,
and not only that, companies that are fronts for other
companies and there's so many cutouts that folks that are
actually the company are unwinning.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
They don't even realize it. Not doing a deep dive
on the intelligence aspect. But things are not always what
they seem, and so don't and I know this is
going to pop y'll's bubble. You know, the media doesn't
always have the full story.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I Will watched the news is twenty twenty because it's
it does me good. But let me ask you, after
having open borders for four years, can it be corrected?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, that aspect would be the illegal immigrants. It's going
to take a herculean effort to do that, and it
would seem reasonable that if you're here, you're here legally.
You know, the laws are passed and you know they
can be debated, but they exist. So let's follow the law.
But back at a higher level, even before the open borders,
for over twenty years, China's been on this containment you know,
(31:24):
the Belton Rolled initiative. What they're doing, that's their word
for containment, what they're doing around the globe and their
espionage against us, you know, in terms of full throttle esmena.
Remember there's a number of Chinese that were caught flying
drones in the US and they're not doing that to
check out Airbnb. So they were caught. Some of them
have been tried, others convicted spying and otherwise.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, I would love to ask you about the UK.
It just seems like we were partners and a lot
of stuff and now it just seems to be us
in the story. But let's go to a net and net.
You're on news radio eight forty whs. You have a
question for Ed go.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Yes, I'm sort of a frustrated citizen who really doesn't
know what to do to We have no power to
influence these kinds of things. I see the foreign policy
flipping back and forth between Democrat and Republican, and that's
what seems to be working as in these bad directions
like the possibility of World War three, and it is
(32:23):
so very frustrating when the policies just it's like a sailboat,
you know, tipping on a stormy sea, and there doesn't
seem to be anything for a normal everyday citizen to
do about it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Okay, good question. What can we do? Thank you be
an informed critical king it.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I want to thank you for I want to thank
you for your your sentiment, young lady, I really appreciate that.
For those of us that served and were the uniform,
I will tell you that the secret weapon in the
United States of America, and this is not cheesy, is
not an Area fifty one, it's not sealed Team six.
It's an informed critical thing. Voter. Yes, ma'am. Talk to
(33:02):
your friends, talk to your relatives, be informed, and so
with respect to that, you will have an impact. So
thank you for that question.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Any thoughts on the British what do they how all
they help us?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Well, of course some of that would a lot of
that would be classified. But they and Israel are our
two biggest partners frankly, and they had been historically all
the way back to World War Two. Uh So we
got to give them kudos for that.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Uh And the and the biggest difference between the Second
World War now is that we've owned the skies for
a couple of decades. I mean we do, right, I mean,
there is nobody that can compete with our air force,
UK's Air Force or Israel's air force.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Well, if you were to categorize at all three at once,
we could probably it would depend and gain air supremacy.
But we need not overstate that China has massive combat power.
Quantity has a quality all its own, and when you
look at the numbers and what they've done, they could
isolate and gain comparative combat power over US, saying an
(34:00):
area like Taiwan.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
This question comes to is from social media. Keith asked
how long would take to rebuild a nuclear program for Iran?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Great, great question. Uh, That'll have to be determined by
intelligence folks, And you can rest assured that Israel's working
hard on getting the exact details what's going on. As
an aside somewhat related to that, you can anticipate there's
going to be, for lack of a better term, a purge.
There's gonna be a lot of suspicion within Iran about
(34:31):
who might be an agent or who might have you know,
for lack of better term, compromised, you know, some of
their programs and so forth and so on. So they're
going to turn on themselves in some ways. And then
there's some disinformation operations that may occur to you know,
feed that. But to come back to the actual the timeline,
I wouldn't have that information, couldn't divulge it if I did.
But here's what you can take to the bank. They
(34:52):
will attempt to rebuild it full stop.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
The people over there, it just I just don't know.
There's difference between the government and people. We all know that, right,
And a lot of times we see, you know, because
back in the eighties and the seventies and eighties, where
the sixties we were doing the Cold War, and it
was the Russian government versus the Russian people, and we
saw how terrible they lived, and they wanted to get
out of that as soon as possible. They couldn't wait
to take that wall down and go capitalists. But one
(35:19):
of the people, it's just it seems, it seems what
is your opinion of the general public of the Iranians
the iraqis you know, that's been a mess for the
longest time. The normal person that lives there just wants
the same things we do, right, raise a family in
a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I don't know if I can say it for all,
but let's go back to a Soviet Union Russia. But
look what happened. Putin works himself back to power, and
look at where they are now. So for all the
hope that we had when the wall fell and I
was wearing a uniform for you at that juncture as
a professional military officer. Look at where we are now.
You know he's back in power. He wants to be
(35:59):
the next czar. Now remember back to the full horsemen
of the apocalypse. Every one of them have a calendar.
They know how long they're going to be on this earth.
Every one of them have declared in value to a
vow to do something, you know, in terms of their legacy.
I would be paying attention to what they said, and
we touched on that earlier, all right, But to come
back to what's going on in Iran, I would call
(36:19):
it there is an opportunity here because, as the facts
bear out, they are a minority led country by that
cleric as opposed to what is you would consider a
democracy where you have elected leadership. And again it gets
confusing because they do have an elected president and right
now they have an acting president. They got to go
to an election again because the other one died in
(36:39):
a helicopter crash. Interestingly, one of three helicopters crashed. It
had all the markings of our good frenzy Israelis. But
I have no first hand knowledge that.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
I'm going to let you wrap up with this because
you got about sixty seconds here you talk about a
colonel from the Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Let me go back to the thread of Iran. They
overthrew the shaw in nineteen seventy nine. There is an
American from Bowl County, went to Southern High School. I
went to the university level, Lieutenant Colonel Higgins Marine. He
was serving active duty as a UN observer in Lebanon
in the late eighties. He was captured by Iranian back terrorists, tortured, executed.
(37:22):
I set alert to rescue him as a young Navy
seal officer with my team. We never got the actionable intelligence.
So the threat of Iran comes all the way here
to central Kentucky and rest assured after those thought was
they have a whole asymmetric warfare arm. Remember they attempted
to kill an assassinate folks right here in the US.
(37:43):
They're operating. Back to the point about sleeper sales, they're
not sleeping at all. They're out there picking out you know,
when the getting a better understanding of their targets and
where their freedom of action is to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Well, I apologize for making you sit in the air
conditioned studio today rather on a tractor ninety degree way.
Whether I'm sure you're.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
One other thing? Nicely and eighty called me mister Gallerin.
You gotta call me Ed. Mister Gallerin's uncle Bill ninety
four and a half. It works every day. Don't get
between uncle Bill and work. It'd be the wrong place
to get one.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
More thing though, Ed, how do people find the farm?
Because you've got me interested in them?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Jurin Farms just just are in Shelby County. You can
get off at extra thirty two or eighty thirty five.
Look up gallerind Farms. Can't miss it. We're only about
ten or fifteen minutes past the altin mall. Everybody knows
that lambar. Come on out and see us. Bring the kids,
pet and zuos.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Thank you, And after you get your vegetables from the farm,
make sure you go and you get the grill of
your dreams. I love grill Masters Supply. I love cooking
on my pits and spits. As a matter of fact,
I love it so much I got a second one.
You're gonna love the selection to grill Master's supply. If
you don't know what you're doing, they have beginning sets.
They have grills, they have smokers, They even have the
(38:50):
pit Boss Navigator. It's the only place you can get
it is at Grill Master's Supplies where I get all
my woods, all my rubs, the weather be lines. You're
gonna love grill Old Master Supply ten four oh eight
shell Vision First.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Go to Vision firstiicare dot Com eighteen locations. Whether you're
six months old or six hundred years old, they'll take
care of you with your eye and your vision. All
the glasses I own are from Vision First. My daughter
went there when she was in second grade. She couldn't
see the board. We took her there and they were
great with her.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
So Vision First is the way to go. Go through
the car wash, takes about an hour and you'll end
up with some glasses. Go to Vision firstiicare dot Com.
Back after this on news radio eight forty wh
All right, welcome in our number two, the Tony and
Dwite Chill, brought to you by the Kentucky Office of
Highway Safety. We've been telling you about this segment for
a couple of days. Now we'll get you involved in
the second segment at the bottom of the hour, round
ten thirty five. We'll take your phone calls if you
have any questions about the subject we're about to talk to. Now,
we have a native Kentuckian from right here in Jefferson County.
(00:22):
He was born and reared at Galarn Brothers Dairy Farm
in Valley Station Ouside, the largest dairy farm in Kentucky
at the time. He graduated from Murray State University, where
he played football and he ushered in the Howard Schnellenberger
area by beating my beloved Cardinals at Cardinals Station or
at Cardinals Stadium. And I was there.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Fairground field, fairground, great sales, worst astro turf in the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You'll have to have one of the most important parts.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, baby fish fries Ed moved on. He's active duty
Navy seal commissioned off are spanning three decades. He served
on seven seal teams in units, including twice as Seal
Team six, leading special operations, sensitive operations, classified missions all
(01:11):
over the world from the South end to the world.
He is a Navy seal also an Army ranger, one
of the very few to have done.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That, and that's in a very impressive resume. But I
have one question for you. Have you ever torn Achilles tendon? No?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I haven't. I gotta. I gotta thank my German genetics,
hard work and clean living. You gotta try that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The latter is the problem.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You know I can't help you there.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
All right, So Katain Galla and thank you for coming.
Four time Bronze Star Medal recipients. So and let's get
right into it. We wanted to talk to you today.
You were referred to us, and I'm so glad that
we got to meet. But let's jump into the latest
situation in the Middle East as it evolves, the Twelve
Day War. I guess is what we're calling your thoughts
(02:00):
on that initially and how it ended.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, it's not ended. I want to go back
if I could listen at a larger level, they'll call
it to twelve Day War. But it's going on right
now as we speak, guarantee the Israelers are doing the
kind of things on the ground and in the area
to set the conditions to monitor the Iranians and what
they're doing now. It wasn't only the US strikes, and
I want to talk about that for a minute. There's
a lot of quibbling about what really happened in the
(02:24):
result of the strikes. At a higher level, here's the key.
We took decisive action. We demonstrated a will and a
capability to act. And you might recall the President said, well,
I might do something in two weeks, but he really
acted when the conditions were right. So he deferred to
the planners, folks that I want to give credit to you,
which I did for you at one time as a
(02:44):
professional career a military officer. So with respect to that,
he defer to them to set the conditions. To remember
that bit of a deception that they did. Guaranteed that
came from people that work in classified environments said look, boss,
here's what we can do. They did that very professionally,
laid out the courses about action and plan that so
that at a high level was decisive. Never Mind the
(03:05):
quibbling of was it or obliterated or destroyed or for
how many days and all that. At a high level,
we demonstrated to the Iranians and also the people watching Chinese,
Russia and North Korea and other adversaries that we will act,
and we will act in an unpredictable manner. So in
some the Trump administration pushed them to turns poker chips
back on the table, similar to President Reagan when he
(03:28):
came in. And we needed that badly, or we're going
to sleep walk right into World War three. And that's
not hype. So now let me unpick out a little
bit more. Remember it wasn't only the strikes. Credit's got
to be given to the Israelis. They neutralize their ability,
their anti aircraft ability, and their ability to detect US.
I want to add a caveat. There was some talk
about we did that undetected. Russia and China have capabilities.
(03:51):
They might not have wanted to divulge and may have
well known that we launched and what we were doing,
primarily because of their space based capabilities, but they didn't
want to divulge that they had that, so they didn't
tell the Iranians, if you follow me, So we shouldn't
overestimate about how clandestine or covert we were about that.
But the bottom line is we got to celebrate it.
(04:12):
It was a brilliant striking and op I want to
finish on the Israelis. Remember what else they did. They
basically took out the entire Iranian military leadership. Imagine all
of our chairmans joint and all of our key commanders.
That was a disruption and a psychological operation. Not only that,
who else did they take out all the primary nuclear
(04:34):
material scientists. So there's far more than the bombs in there.
There's a larger strategic impact. But now beware, do not
fall into the trap of mirror imaging our projection. Say
well we did all this, it's only twelve day war.
It's we're going to sue for peace now. Oh no, Surrey, Bob,
I've got a list here of three pages of what
(04:56):
the Iranians have done from the time you know from
the Bay Root bombing was again the prototype vehicle born
improvised explosive device that started that entire area in nineteen eighty,
two hundred and forty one Great Americans died, the largest
non nuclear detonation on the battlefield in history. When that occurred,
(05:18):
equal like twelve thousand pounds. But to finish that piece
out is so Now we're in a phase of watching
guaranteed the Iranians you're looking at passes prolog And I'm
no academic, because you know, I'm a fifth generation Farmer
crew military officer. Thanks for that introduction. It was an
honor and privilege to serve and lead those great Americans.
But with respect to that passes prologue, they've cheated at
everything they've ever done. Could I talk about a jacon
(05:39):
POA for a minute, so called deal again by my understanding,
and look it up. It's unclassified and I won't divulge
anything classified recognized, and I still work for you as
a senior advisor for Special Operations and government national Security.
The JCPOA specifically disallowed inspection of military sites in Iran.
(06:00):
Think about that. I'm not done. It specifically left out
their ballistic missile program. Why did they have ballistic missiles
to put a nuclear weapon on it to fire at
Israel and to reach Europe? It was also left out. Also,
there was a cave on in there, as I remember
that it was they had They got roughly twenty four
(06:22):
days notice of any inspection. So there was no no
notice anytime anyway. So they would sanitize a sight. So
this would this would be like you have a member
in your family it's an alcoholic, and you said, hey,
we're going to give you twenty four days till we
search your car. Oh, by the way, we're never going
to look in your room, right, but everywhere else's game.
(06:42):
So it was very flawed. Yes, I hear a lot
of celebration of regrettably, the facts aren't always laid out
about that. I'm going to go back to higher level.
The Iranians had cheated at everything they've ever done. Let's
also remember this, to put a bow on it, they
are led by a cleric, a cleric the world through
the lens of a Quran. They have an elected president,
(07:03):
but he answers to the cleric. Right, so sometimes that
gets confusing to the American public that you know, it
may not make sense, but everyone in the US, in
the Iranian government answers to that cleric. And remember what
he just did, fought was fought, was he issued fought
with many many will act on that in terms of
taking action because it's considered a clerical religious ruling that
(07:28):
has indicted someone in almost a semi religious legal way,
and there's experts going to being to that better than me.
But it's bad news story. In other words, he hadn't blinked.
You might recall he was celebrating, you know, we slapped
your face, We did this, we won, and so forth.
So he sees everything through a different lens. So to
finish that out, I would not declare victory, not that
you did. I wouldn't call it a twelve day war.
(07:48):
And again I come with a special ops lens and
a master's in military intelligence. And also you sent me
to the war. Call it to think and that strategically
the war is ongoing. You know, here's three pages of
what they done in the past. They'll pick and choose,
and right now they're they're planning and picking and choose
and what they're going to do next.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
When you when you enrich uranium, then the shelf life
starts to go.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Or so I believe you're the expert.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
You might know, could this cease fire just to be
a let's try to reload and rebuild and start enriching
uranium if we.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Use past this Prolou absolutely absolutely right. The Great news Is.
Those strikes basically hit their oak Ridge type complex right
as they were trying to do their Manhattan Project. So
it was very decisive in terms of the ones they hit.
As an aside, our oak Ridge I meet initially had
five sites separated by ridge lines down there, you know,
because they weren't sure what was going to happen to
(08:41):
each one and if it was a.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Catastrophe started the Second World WARLD yet start.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Second word of the Manhattan Project. So with respect to that,
those strikes are very decisive and we hit centers of gravity.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I want to bounce off that you said decisive strikes.
Let's talk about the psychological aspect of when the when
the leaders were taken out by the is Raelis, they
were soon per surgical strikes, meaning taking out one apartment,
not taking out the rest of the neighbors. That has
to wear on the Iranians that the technology that they
(09:11):
I mean, they're out gunned, They're out everything I would
imagine or not, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The Iranians. Yeah, yeah, but men some of them aren't
going to think as we would in terms of projection
in mirror imaging. So you have to factor in there's
some of them that will factor in in shilah to
use the term, it doesn't matter to them. There's others
that are going to be somewhat would you consider reasonable?
What would you would expect to do is certainly there
would be a fracture within the Iranian government with respect
(09:39):
of some folks that might be more reasonable. And you
might remember we had a great opportunity was a two
thousand and nine the Green Revolution, and they were on
the streets as I recollect in that timeframe, with a
potential revolution or uprising, and they were crushed, Yeah, by
the Iranian.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well, we all see those pictures of the of the
late sixties of women in universities in mini skirts and
in their books and all that, So we wish it
would go back to that. I want to ask about
the Saudis, where are they our allies and where do
they play in this role in the Middle East with US,
Israel and the rest of the rest of the folks.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, I'd answer it like this, The Mid East is
a game of thrones if I could, and it's a
men's a game great analogs. We could go down here
to UVL and it would be an entire undergraduate degree
and studying the fractures and the fissures and so forth
and so on, and with respect to what the administration
is doing with the Abraham Courts and trying to enlarge
Thows is strategically brilliant. I want to throw something else
(10:37):
out to the advocacy of rebuilding Gaza, similar to what
we did. And people forget how did we win World
We learned a lesson. We senior military leadership who advise
senior elected and appointment leaders. And I couldn't be having
this conversation with you back when I was Commodore Gawerund
or Capital Gawerund, or even Lieutenant Gowern because of the
constraints put upon me as an activiuty military officers. But
(10:57):
remember how we lost World War One. We did not
go back and rebuild. We suppressed Germany what was a
treaty of our sales and we crushed them within twenty years.
They had the most powerful military in the world. Ye right,
And people just kept ignoring, well it's okay, and they
started what annexing territory and when you appease them, look
(11:18):
what we got. And so I want to I want
to I want to.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Put as that tie into the Saudist.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, what I want to pull that in into what's
going on in the Israel and the Mid East writ large,
is we've got to realign and rebuild over there and
pull folks in to expand those accords in the same
way we rebuilt after World War Two after learning a
lesson to finish that out. Thanks Tony to learning that lesson,
because we had we had we real built Europe and
(11:45):
we rebuilt also Japan and then we stayed. Now we
don't need to stay in the Mid East. We need
our surrogates to do that, like the Saudis. We need
them to buide on it. What do they want? They
want trade, commerce and prosperity. Okay there, and that is
that's why ecadomic.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Are they really are partners is what I'm asking? Or
are they a bad actor behind our back?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I'll speak to it in this way. Their interest is economic.
There's national, fire, diplomaticum, informational, military, and economic. I would
argue they're interested is in prosperity and that's where we
can win the day. So it was genius to go
over there and have that that meeting with the Mid
East and bring in the business folks and do those agreements. Also,
I want to give credit when we went to the
(12:27):
NATO meeting recently, we had muscle because the strikes in Iran.
What was the most key thing that came out of
those NATO meetings if you're Russia, China and North Korea
the five percent promise by the NATO countries to yep
their spending double it. Oh, that was that was key
and strategic.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's a game change, right, it needed to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We need to.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I want to rewind a couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Tony brought this up.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It was in my notes as well, talking about the
pictures you see from the nineteen sixties of our Ran
I've seen video of Frank Sinatra, the chairman of the board,
performing in Iran nice arena, everybody dress skirts, the whole bit.
What percentage of our Iranians want to go back to that.
I know they tried to revote and they were crushed,
(13:12):
So I mean, I would imagine a message was saying,
you never try to uprise again. In your opinion, what
percentage of the Iranian population is against the way they're
living now under this law?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It appears a minority. I don't have the numbers on that.
We probably got some folks at UFL can answer that
better than I, but it appears a minority. So they
have iron hand cleric construct control in that country. So
it would be the will of the people is what
we would encourage. And again we missed a great opportunity
in two thousand and nine and then somehow supporting that
directly an interact.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Do they suppress the Internet and all that stuff in Irans?
So understanding, yes, yes, so they can't get online and
watch YouTube and how everyone else is living.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I would say this, there are workarounds, as I understand it,
but by and larger suppressed. Yeah, and you know, and
back to their history, they are also historically great traders.
They love prosperity, you know. To your point about their appearances,
they are very interested in being modern for lack of
better term. But again they've got since the over throw
(14:11):
of the Shaw in nineteen seventy nine, they've gone the
direction of the iototal ruling a cleric and he sees
the world through the lens of a kran And remember
I would characterize him as a suicide bomber looking for
a nuclear weapon. And so you're right, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It is I asked somebody that ran the museum of
the Jewish Museum over at the Baptist Seminary, and I said,
has there ever been peace in the Middle East? And
it was live television. He paused for the longest time,
and I guess he thought any went No, not for
any significant time.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And good, great point. We need to have a wider
lens and just what happened in the twelve days and
step back and remember past this prologue. It is time
now to do, you know, change the Mid East because
the problem is Iran.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yep Ed Gallian is our guest here today. He is
a former Navy seal and commander of the Seals intelligence
the whole deal up and down. He is a good
person to lean on for these kind of subjects. To
get between the minutia and all the talk of the
two different sides of the news organization. You get one
story from one and the other story from from another.
(15:16):
So we're trying to get through that and decide what's
happening twelve day before we go to break twelve days
war not over, it's still happening.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Yes, because there's other things going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I got it all right, So we're gonna take a
short break. We'll come back. We're gonna talk to Ed
some more and Dwight. We're gonna we're gonna take some
phone calls if you have any questions. This will be
a couple of minutes. But if you want to wait
on the line, that's fine. Five seven, one, eight four
eighty four is the phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Try State Men's Health. Guys, how are things with your
partner in the bedroom and you suffer from ED? Suffer
no more? Drop the ego, drop the embarrassment. Let's just
get it fixed. Let's get it corrected with the best.
The best is Try State Men's Health. Here's why I
say that Try State Men's Health has a ninety percent
success rate comes to treating ED. That's unheard of. It's
(16:02):
gonna get better. Listen to this is risk free. Hear
me out. Your appointment is ninety nine dollars and is
well worth it because you get laud work done, You
get the blood results back within thirty minutes or less.
You sit down with a licensed medical professional to explain
all of your numbers. Here's the risk free part. Then
they give you a TESTOS. If that testos does not work,
(16:22):
you're ninety nine dollars were funded immediately. But chances are
it's gonna work because they have a ninety percent success
rate when it comes to treating ed guys. Get your
love life back, at your confidence back, and do it
with my friends at tri Statementshealth dot com.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Real Quick sell your house with Eland and Edland one
percent commission rate five nine nine twenty eight hundred, keep
the equity in your home and go with Eland and Eland.
They sold one half of all one percent deals last year.
Eland and Eedland five nine nine twenty eight hundred. Back
after this, we'll ask ed how many he can take
a best guess of how many Iranian sleeper cells he
(16:56):
thinks are in the United States and what possition did
he play for when he played for Murray State. Back
after this on news Radio Way forty w h A
S all right, we are back. El Gallron is our
guest today, former commander of the Navy Seals Intelligence the
whole shot. So we're asking questions that I think most
people want the answers to wait.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Before we talk international diplomacy and World War three, Let's
talk about something important. What pickles, baby, When did you
all start the pickles? You have your own pickle one,
what do you get these?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The family goes to food shows. The girls do have
an informed palette and they pick things to compliment the
vegetables out there coming out and see us, we got
corn coming out, our ears, the T shirt. The family
won't the family won't let any do that. That's a dollar.
That's a dollar out of the bed, Joe. But I'm
unskilled labor. You won't find me in the market. The
girls run the market. But the ladies picked those things.
(17:51):
But again, the we got some the flagships we corned
a lot of folks know about. We've been raising corn
in Kentucky for over one hundred years, so, like my
cousin says, we've done it wrong a couple of times,
so we know how to get it.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So I've got two different kinds of pickles. I've got
the bread and butter that we love, but i also
have the sweet fire.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Now one of those is for Tony and I love pickles, yeah,
and I love spice.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
And this is a sweet fire, so that means a
sweet heat. It's got a little bit of sweetness. And
my man, all right, and.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You know you have a store at the farm so
people can buy all this.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yes, it's a market for any folk from me.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We'll see online.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Uh, we'll call on farms. Okay, the vegetables are rolling
in the girls a man market lunch every day except
for Sunday eleven to two. We open after church and
the cafes open, pet and zoos set up. A lot
of people think we're only opening the fall festival. No, no, no,
we open in mid April with the greenhouses.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Fourteen were four Navy seal or always the navy seal?
What's the navy shoe? Always the navy seals? Are right?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Just that you're a Navy seal, just to say I'm
a servant to our nation. Okay, here's my point.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
If somebodyce comes up and they say, hey, ed, we
gotta go, uh pull the cord. Where do you want
to start? Do you say stuff like, well start seven
clicks out?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Might I entity is a fifth generation farm and we've
been farming in Kentucky front. I speak fluent Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Well, you have a chance to ask ed about what's
going on right now? Five seven one eighty four eighty four.
We're taking your calls and after the news we're gonna
do that. But I want to tell you about Southern
Comfort hot tub. That's what Ed needs on the farm,
baby vacation, right there in your own backyard. You're gonna
love your Southern Comfort hot tubs. Susan and I we've
had one as long as we've been married, and we
(19:28):
love it. You're gonna love yours too, and you're gonna
love the summer sale going on right now. Prices as
low as they've been since the nineteen nineties. These are
the lowest prices you've seen since the nineteen nineties. Hot
tubs like three thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Hot tubs as low as sixty five dollars a month,
seventy five O one Preston Highway, Southern Comfort hot tub.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You got sixty seconds here. How many your best guests
without revealing any intelligence on America? How many sleeper cells
in the US from Iran or any other bad actors?
Would you guess?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well, personal only answer like this. They're not sleeping. All
the folks that got in and the frankly, the open
border would have been a trojan horse. Our enemies are
thinking enemies. We did not catch the smart ones. You
might recall, I mean they caught on what was there
was at least one of the Wagner Group, you know
(20:19):
famously the Russian paramilitary group Wagner Group better pronunciation, was
caught with a drone in his backpack. He wasn't coming
to look for airbnbs, all right, now, that's him, and
he's coming here to disrupt. Back to the Iranians and
other folks that we didn't catch the smart ones. Remember
what we when they say known god aways, there is
another category of the ones we don't know about, because
(20:42):
they knew where to cross word, to distract and how
to get there. I would offer they're not in a basement,
they're not in an attic, they're not in a barn.
They're not hiding. They're out amongst us. They're doing the reconnaissance,
they're preparing. They're hiding in plain sight so they can
get placement and access. Some of them are probably working,
some of them are probably right around us. I don't
mean to catch to cloud to doom or be hyperbolic
about it, but you've got to not discount the fact
(21:05):
that the enemy's already here and then recognize the fact
that how many several hundred were on the known terrorist
watch list. You've got a factor in how imperfect the
information is. I have a master's degree in intelligence and
have worked with the intelligence communities because at the strategical level,
that's key factor of all our planning. So with respect
to that, we don't know everything about those folks. So
(21:26):
just because you didn't have derogatory information or that they
were involved in something and doesn't mean that they weren't.
We're relying on countries that weren't very cooperative. Do you
have some information on these? So it's an imperfect database
to start with for the ones that we caught, But
I'd come full circle and say we didn't catch the
smart ones.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Wow, uh yes, no, or maybe sleeper selling Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Let's just say it's highly possible.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Back after this on news radio eight forty whas five
sent one eight four eighty four. Berth is on the
line already. We'll come back with your calls next. We're
here still talking to Ed galarn in Kentucky, native expert
in military intelligence, and we're specifically talking about the Middle
East today and we're taking this is a segment we'll
take phone calls from you. We wrapped up with the
(22:09):
possibility of a sleeper selling Kentucky on the last break.
So we're going to get your phone calls. Now, ask
your question and uh and we'll go to the next one.
We'll start with Bertha. You're up first. Bertha, You're on
news radio eight forty w.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
H as Hi, Good morning, guys, and thank you so
much for actually bringing Ed on to give some insight.
And thank you, sir for your service from a very
proud long term federal employee. So, actually two little questions.
The first question is do you think that the other
(22:41):
that some of the other small countries that are seeing
what's happening, you know, with ran and the bombings, you know,
do you think it's really making them think it's like, oh,
we don't want to get into this at all. And
second off, there's raccoons that have destroyed my corn this
(23:04):
year in my large gardens and I have a lot
of squash and we have I'm a longtime Kentucky girl gardener,
so farmer. I got squash borers this year and I
usually circle my you know, third acre of corn with
the squash because they don't like the little barbs on
(23:26):
the vines. Well, evidently the raccoons decided they're just gonna
make a dive for it in the bad squash. So
do you have any ideas?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
All right, let's say, Bertha, hang up, he'll answer your
You are an expert in both these I hope, all right.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, okay, Well, I don't want to say I'm an expert.
But Bertha, we've done it wrong enough. Like my cousin
says that, every now and then we get it right.
But Berth, I got some bad news for you. Could
you throw in the towel on your garden and just
come on out to Guy Ryan's and get what we got.
We've got We've got what you call comparative advantage. I
don't want to make too heavy of a sales pitch,
but come on out, get by. We do that every
(24:01):
day from eleven to two and uh, grow flowers and
enjoy that.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
But you know, back to that, you know, for the coons,
you're gonna have to have dogs, all right, and then
you're gonna have to do a little research for your squash.
And depending on what's in and around you, there are
some items you can get. Maybe go down to southern
states and ask those folks, or you can go to
the county Extension office here or any Every county has
an extension office and they will help you with what
University of Kentucky says, here's sort of a battle plan
(24:26):
because there's others, some dependencies, but at a high level
birtha come on out and ask for me. I'm never
in the market. I'm unskilled labor. The girls are on
the market. I'm out on a tractor truck. Told he
was bothering me yesterday. Had to stop the tractor. Profit
margins are then on the farm. I don't tell you
what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
The first question she had, yes.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And that's why I said, well, those are a question.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Let's read it with this smaller countries. Uh does it
give them pause of what we did?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Absolutely, it'll it's a. It's a They are now realizing
that we have put to Terrens chips back on the
table and that we will play a part and we
will act decisively. So with respect to that, they will
calculate their alignments. And remember what we're fighting against is
China is doing a Cold War type strategy the way
(25:11):
we did it against the Soviets and defeated them. Remember
we didn't defeat the Soodivis by a battle We defeated
them by a strategy under President Reagan. We crushed them
economically while parallel concurrent, we were using diplomatic, informational and military
power to position ourselves. But it was the economic power
that beat the Soviets. That's what the Chinese are trying
(25:31):
to do to us. To come back to your question, yes, ma'am,
people are paying attention, they're making judgments. We need to
win the diplomatic, informational and that would be the soft
power aspect.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
All right, let's go to the phone lines. Five seventy one,
eight four eighty four is the phone number if you
have a question for Ed Kirk. You are on the
radio with us.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Now your question, Thank you for your service, captain from
the intelligence part of it, and looking forward, how do
we keep from going into.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
W W three?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh great question, the question. I'm afraid we're sleep walking
into it right now. And again you the taxpayer. And
let me add this those various degrees and such, I
didn Ed Goweran did not ask to go back to college.
You know, you might remember famously Murray Racer undergrad masters
in ag before I went off the official candidate school.
When President Reagan was rebuilding our nation in the service.
(26:25):
But if you look at history, we're in the most
volatile time since pre World War Two. The contours almost
exactly overlay. Remember pre World War Two, it was Nazi Germany,
it was Communist Soviet Union, it was the fascists in Italy,
and it was the fanatics in Japan. All right, those
(26:47):
are the four Now look who are against the Chinese
nationalistic chi As he has declared he is going to
reunite China and read and take it back to what
two thousand years ago power, and they want Taiwan back,
will come back to that North Korea and they have
declared Kim Jong Unn he's going to reunite the South
the you know Korea in terms of the South Peninsula.
(27:08):
You got Russian Putin's declared he wants to rebuild the
Soviet Empire, and you have Iran that wants to dominate
the Mideast. So with those contours overlaid, we're facing the
four horsemen apocalypse. Hold that parallel and concurrent, there is
a massive espionage campaign going on that we hear about daily. Remember,
(27:28):
the FBI and other intelligence community leadership CIA and others
has testified unclassified in front of Congress about the massive espionage,
i e. Spying and you know, not just the balloon.
And oh, by the way, that balloon that overflew US
was not looking for Airbnb. It was a giant vacuum
cleaner to vacuum up for future targeting and understanding both
(27:51):
kinetically and non kinetically. Think about its soaking up all
the airwaves and other things. Has got a huge solar
power array on it. It'd be interesting if the administration
would release what was really found when that balloon was
recovered to inform the American public to kind of threat
we face. And that's just one element of their espionage.
So there's a huge esmonage campaign exactly like Nazi Germany
(28:13):
did pre World War Two, that we're fighting so to
come full circle, if we don't put deterrence back on
the table, and remember deterrence is in the eyes of
the beholder, we've got to convince them we will take
We have the will and capability to take the action.
That's why the strikes in Iran were not only important
at the at the tactical level to disrupt their nuclear
(28:34):
weapons program, but at the strategic level, at a much
wider level. That was where the impact was more important.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
All right, let's keep the phone calls coming. Five seven one,
eight four eighty four ask ed here in this segment,
let's go to Elmer. Elmer, you're on news radio eight
forty whas.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Oh, yes, thank you, thanks for your SERVI this Scott Ryan.
I had a question what it is. I had looked
into this. Fourteen states at this point have a laws
that our adversaries cannot buy property. Kentucky's not one of them.
And I talked to a friend of mine that's a
state represented that they tried it a few years ago
(29:10):
and they rejected it. And I went forward again with
my representatives and do you have an opinion on that?
Or is that how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Or ard?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Do you you know ort to express yourself?
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I'll start with this. I can tell you that I
can tell you firsthand Chinese are not borrow buying farmland
and Kentucky to get rich. The profit margins are too thin, right,
we're struggling out the right. So I say that little
bit tongue in cheek, but that's truthful. They're being very
back to esme knowedge, They're being very strategic. Look at
where they buy to include near Fort Campbell. Wow, sir.
To answer your question, it goes back to elections. You know,
(29:43):
who are we electing that understands that kind of threat
and what are we doing about? As I understand, the
administration has taken that on and the Department of Agriculture
starting some efforts. It was just announced her recently. And oh,
by the way, we hosted the new Secretary of Agriculture
out at Galleryan Market just days after she was announced
back in February. We're glad to have her at a
family farm. Appreciate or coming, and so I look forward
to what they're going to do to help us to
(30:04):
protect that so at at a high level, we we
should have the checks and balances and in the controls
to understand who is buying this ground for what reason.
And although we want to have the freedoms here, it
is prudent to protect ourselves against our adversary.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I think I'm taking crazy pills to think that another
country can buy property in land in another country. They
wouldn't allow us to do that.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
Well, they're about think about having open borders for four years,
and not only that, companies that are fronts for other
companies and there's so many cutouts that folks that are
actually the company are unwinning.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
They don't even realize it. Not doing a deep dive
on the intelligence aspect. But things are not always what
they seem, and so don't and I know this is
going to pop y'll's bubble. You know, the media doesn't
always have the full story.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
I Will watched the news is twenty twenty because it's
it does me good. But let me ask you, after
having open borders for four years, can it be corrected?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, that aspect would be the illegal immigrants. It's going
to take a herculean effort to do that, and it
would seem reasonable that if you're here, you're here legally.
You know, the laws are passed and you know they
can be debated, but they exist. So let's follow the law.
But back at a higher level, even before the open borders,
for over twenty years, China's been on this containment you know,
(31:24):
the Belton Rolled initiative. What they're doing, that's their word
for containment, what they're doing around the globe and their
espionage against us, you know, in terms of full throttle esmena.
Remember there's a number of Chinese that were caught flying
drones in the US and they're not doing that to
check out Airbnb. So they were caught. Some of them
have been tried, others convicted spying and otherwise.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, I would love to ask you about the UK.
It just seems like we were partners and a lot
of stuff and now it just seems to be us
in the story. But let's go to a net and net.
You're on news radio eight forty whs. You have a
question for Ed go.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Yes, I'm sort of a frustrated citizen who really doesn't
know what to do to We have no power to
influence these kinds of things. I see the foreign policy
flipping back and forth between Democrat and Republican, and that's
what seems to be working as in these bad directions
like the possibility of World War three, and it is
(32:23):
so very frustrating when the policies just it's like a sailboat,
you know, tipping on a stormy sea, and there doesn't
seem to be anything for a normal everyday citizen to
do about it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Okay, good question. What can we do? Thank you be
an informed critical king it.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I want to thank you for I want to thank
you for your your sentiment, young lady, I really appreciate that.
For those of us that served and were the uniform,
I will tell you that the secret weapon in the
United States of America, and this is not cheesy, is
not an Area fifty one, it's not sealed Team six.
It's an informed critical thing. Voter. Yes, ma'am. Talk to
(33:02):
your friends, talk to your relatives, be informed, and so
with respect to that, you will have an impact. So
thank you for that question.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Any thoughts on the British what do they how all
they help us?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Well, of course some of that would a lot of
that would be classified. But they and Israel are our
two biggest partners frankly, and they had been historically all
the way back to World War Two. Uh So we
got to give them kudos for that.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Uh And the and the biggest difference between the Second
World War now is that we've owned the skies for
a couple of decades. I mean we do, right, I mean,
there is nobody that can compete with our air force,
UK's Air Force or Israel's air force.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Well, if you were to categorize at all three at once,
we could probably it would depend and gain air supremacy.
But we need not overstate that China has massive combat power.
Quantity has a quality all its own, and when you
look at the numbers and what they've done, they could
isolate and gain comparative combat power over US, saying an
(34:00):
area like Taiwan.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
This question comes to is from social media. Keith asked
how long would take to rebuild a nuclear program for Iran?
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Great, great question. Uh, That'll have to be determined by
intelligence folks, And you can rest assured that Israel's working
hard on getting the exact details what's going on. As
an aside somewhat related to that, you can anticipate there's
going to be, for lack of a better term, a purge.
There's gonna be a lot of suspicion within Iran about
(34:31):
who might be an agent or who might have you know,
for lack of better term, compromised, you know, some of
their programs and so forth and so on. So they're
going to turn on themselves in some ways. And then
there's some disinformation operations that may occur to you know,
feed that. But to come back to the actual the timeline,
I wouldn't have that information, couldn't divulge it if I did.
But here's what you can take to the bank. They
(34:52):
will attempt to rebuild it full stop.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
The people over there, it just I just don't know.
There's difference between the government and people. We all know that, right,
And a lot of times we see, you know, because
back in the eighties and the seventies and eighties, where
the sixties we were doing the Cold War, and it
was the Russian government versus the Russian people, and we
saw how terrible they lived, and they wanted to get
out of that as soon as possible. They couldn't wait
to take that wall down and go capitalists. But one
(35:19):
of the people, it's just it seems, it seems what
is your opinion of the general public of the Iranians
the iraqis you know, that's been a mess for the
longest time. The normal person that lives there just wants
the same things we do, right, raise a family in
a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I don't know if I can say it for all,
but let's go back to a Soviet Union Russia. But
look what happened. Putin works himself back to power, and
look at where they are now. So for all the
hope that we had when the wall fell and I
was wearing a uniform for you at that juncture as
a professional military officer. Look at where we are now.
You know he's back in power. He wants to be
(35:59):
the next czar. Now remember back to the full horsemen
of the apocalypse. Every one of them have a calendar.
They know how long they're going to be on this earth.
Every one of them have declared in value to a
vow to do something, you know, in terms of their legacy.
I would be paying attention to what they said, and
we touched on that earlier, all right, But to come
back to what's going on in Iran, I would call
(36:19):
it there is an opportunity here because, as the facts
bear out, they are a minority led country by that
cleric as opposed to what is you would consider a
democracy where you have elected leadership. And again it gets
confusing because they do have an elected president and right
now they have an acting president. They got to go
to an election again because the other one died in
(36:39):
a helicopter crash. Interestingly, one of three helicopters crashed. It
had all the markings of our good frenzy Israelis. But
I have no first hand knowledge that.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
I'm going to let you wrap up with this because
you got about sixty seconds here you talk about a
colonel from the Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Let me go back to the thread of Iran. They
overthrew the shaw in nineteen seventy nine. There is an
American from Bowl County, went to Southern High School. I
went to the university level, Lieutenant Colonel Higgins Marine. He
was serving active duty as a UN observer in Lebanon
in the late eighties. He was captured by Iranian back terrorists, tortured, executed.
(37:22):
I set alert to rescue him as a young Navy
seal officer with my team. We never got the actionable intelligence.
So the threat of Iran comes all the way here
to central Kentucky and rest assured after those thought was
they have a whole asymmetric warfare arm. Remember they attempted
to kill an assassinate folks right here in the US.
(37:43):
They're operating. Back to the point about sleeper sales, they're
not sleeping at all. They're out there picking out you know,
when the getting a better understanding of their targets and
where their freedom of action is to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Well, I apologize for making you sit in the air
conditioned studio today rather on a tractor ninety degree way.
Whether I'm sure you're.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
One other thing? Nicely and eighty called me mister Gallerin.
You gotta call me Ed. Mister Gallerin's uncle Bill ninety
four and a half. It works every day. Don't get
between uncle Bill and work. It'd be the wrong place
to get one.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
More thing though, Ed, how do people find the farm?
Because you've got me interested in them?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Jurin Farms just just are in Shelby County. You can
get off at extra thirty two or eighty thirty five.
Look up gallerind Farms. Can't miss it. We're only about
ten or fifteen minutes past the altin mall. Everybody knows
that lambar. Come on out and see us. Bring the kids,
pet and zuos.

make sure you go and you get the grill of
your dreams. I love grill Masters Supply. I love cooking
on my pits and spits. As a matter of fact,

it is at Grill Master's Supplies where I get all

shell Vision First.

the glasses I own are from Vision First. My daughter
went there when she was in second grade. She couldn't
see the board. We took her there and they were
great with her.

All right.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
So Vision First is the way to go. Go through
the car wash, takes about an hour and you'll end
up with some glasses. Go to Vision firstiicare dot Com.
