Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I Am six forty.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now show.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's social media, Facebook, it's XTI Talk.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Viral load, viral load, the viral load, Timney.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
K if I Am six forty.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram and the iHeartRadio app. Let's
throw it over to Tiffy Hops for the viral load.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
So, in preparing for this viral load, I had a
list of stories and then at the last minute I
hit Tuala and I said, Twala, I have a late
entry and we're bumping it up to number one.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Now.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
Twala told me this topic has been discussed on the
Later with mo Kelly show before. I haven't heard it,
but that's probably because I blocked it out due to
the nature of the content. So fair warning. This is
your opportunity to remove children from the area because things
are about to get a little real. There's a trigger

(01:16):
warning there, so do that now. In three two one, Okay,
there's a trend and it is back in the viral
stratosphere because there's a man who was twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
He is twenty one.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
He did survive this trend and he was hospitalized due
to this particular act, and the act is called sounding.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Huh sounding.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Let me tell you what happened to this young man
again twenty one years old. So this young man decided
that he was going to participate in this risky sex
act called sounding. And sounding has to do with vibrant,
vibrational uh sensations that can cause you pleasure or in

(02:06):
this case pain. So what did this kid do? Well,
he took a USB cable No, think of those thick
cables that are behind your TV or your electronic equipment,
and he inserted the USB cable into his urre thrut. No,

(02:28):
but it does not, It does not end there. The
story only gets worse. So the cable itself, a USB
cable is pretty thick, the opening to your urethra is not.
So he inserted this U shaped loop which left both

(02:48):
ends hanging outside of his wang dang doodle, and it
gets better or worse for him. And the cable got stuck. Okay,
he thought he was going to put it up there
and it was going to come right on out, so

(03:09):
to speak. Well, it got stuck, and of course he
had to then go to the emergency, go to the doctor. Now,
other objects can't let me not say, canby should not be,
but are often inserted into that same area, including cotton
swabs and I have a list I'll share with a
few of other things in a moment. But why are

(03:31):
cables not so much so? Because he was unable to
extract this cable, the emergency room had to perform kind
of emergency surgery.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
They tried at first.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
To do it while he was awake, yanking and pulling
on the cable. This is why women live longer to
no avail. So they had to put him under the
emergency room. Dot did and they were able to extract
the cable using special tools and kind of snipping the

(04:05):
cable along the way. They kept him in the hospital
for a week for monitoring and he was discharged with
painkillers and antibiotics. And a month later he returned to
the hospital for a checkup showing that he was fine.
So he has no lasting damage. That's the upside.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Did he use the cable after? That's charge his phone? God?

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Here are some examples of objects previously used in this
act of sounding, And of course the story went viral.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I have a question, how is it sounding?

Speaker 4 (04:40):
What is what's the connection between the name sounding and
a USB cord thing.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
So there, According to Tawala, who on all this, and
I'm sure he'll run in here, sounding does have to
do with the vibration sensation of this particular or the
objects as they're inserted.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
So I guess if you.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Tap on the object as it's hanging outside of your
you think thing thing you wang dang doodle, it can
cause a vibration that's some find pleasurable.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, yes.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Here are some examples of other objects inserted into that
people have inserted in that emergency rooms have had to extract.
They include get ready for this, gentleman forks, telephone cables,
metal piping, nail clippers and alan key needles, olive seeds, batteries,

(05:39):
a skipping rope, a coyote rib and even a decapitated snake.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
There you go, lo, Lo.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yes, that's what happened with this young man in the
story that went viral.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Did you say a rib?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
A coyote rib?

Speaker 6 (05:57):
Lo?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Maybe there's a store somewhere are people are buying these.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm trying to where do you get a coyote rib from?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
I don't want to know at this point.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
And who is the one to say, you know what?
I think?

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I got an idea, why don't we take that coyote
rib who's the first one to do that? And then
what's the story that you tell when you go? Obviously
you end up with the doctor.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Twala had a lot of information about it, and I
was hoping he could.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Join us for this segment. I feel like all the
men fled the building. Here it comes, is he coming? Yeah? Hello,
you have a right. This is real journalism. Here.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
You got the other button to your left? A wait
that one? There we go.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Okay, Look, when I was explaining sounding to different, I
just wanted to make sure that she knew what it was,
that it is an actual thing like sounding literally put
a too. We talked about this old maybe a year
go nowhere guy had used a chocklick and you put
something in sometimes you'll tap it, you'll you know, to
get a vibration to kind of travel through the urethra.

(07:11):
And there's all types of things people have gotten, coat hangers, everything.
People use all types of things to do. Yeah, and
most folks get stuffed up out of my mind. You
may have because it was a really deep conversation, and
there are lots.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Of getting stuff in orifices and openings. But I didn't
know that they had coined the terms.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, yeah, I think I.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
I had explained once how I had something pulled through
my urethra. Careful no, no, no, I didn't know when
I when I was medical proceuure I had half my
catheter pulled out. It was yeah, it was. It came
through the eurethra. I was like, okay, so where's the
cath that. They're like, well, we're gonna have to take
a hook needle with the camera and go inside your

(07:54):
urethra to grab the catheter and then pull it all
the way out.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
And I was a wait for this. They they they they.

Speaker 7 (08:02):
Shot a numbing solution down in there and they go
deep in with the camera and they go and you, yeah,
you fill the pull all the way.

Speaker 8 (08:10):
I am six, no, no, no, no, no, hang on this
a second here, I'm not done with this.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
No, what mean you need to start?

Speaker 8 (08:18):
I think the first problem with the guy is that
he used a us B cable when really you want
one of those Apple lightning plugs.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
You the dongle is that definitely named are before?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
No?

Speaker 2 (08:40):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
The alan wranche can almost kind of see, but the
lingering question here is towala.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Is there footage of this? You said that a camera? No, yeah,
there probably is.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
There's so much more lad put us.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Anytime they use a camera, there's footage, like there's there's
footage of my colonoscopy.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I declined to look at it.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
But there's footage to put that up on the YouTube.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Surely not. I don't. I don't want to see the
insides of my intestine. No, I think we need this footage.
I do see it when I walk.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
No, No, I was away while they were doing this.
I saw it on camera. I saw the film while
they went in to go get it.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, we haven't seen it. Not the only one I
wants to see it. I mean, look, I'll call theaters
and see if.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
They'll like drop it for you, like you know you
want to you want on a jump drive.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Maybe no, no drives.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Let's just uh, let's keep it extremely so to speak,
don't reward his immaturity. If forty live on YouTube, Instagram,
and the iHeartRadio app Part two, the viral load coming
up in just a moment.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty The Viral Love.

Speaker 9 (10:02):
With Tiffany Live on Camp Laxa with moo Kelly.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
She'll talk about the Times on social media.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Lane with Tiffany.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Huts Kfi AM six forty is Later with mo Kelly
Live on YouTube, Instagram and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now here's part two of the viral Load.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
So, as we all know, AI is highly convincing in.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Some ways and in other ways, you might.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Be able to detect that what you're looking at or
listening to even isn't real. But in more cases than not,
AI has become extremely realistic, and it's fooling a lot
of people. And one such way people are being fooled
is through these AI generated newscasts. We have a clip

(10:53):
of about three or four newscasters are broadcast journalists, and
you're you're going to hear their voices, but pay very
close attention to what they say at the end.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
Angela Carter here live from the Cedar Grove flood disaster.
Just kidding, I'm not real. This is Dana Brooks reporting
live from Ocean View Beach. Just kidding, I'm not real.
This is Charlotte Read reporting live from Clearwater Beach where

(11:25):
an unidentified just kidding, I'm not real.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
So you heard their voices, and what you did not
see is that in the background of those three news
casts were different stories that took place at a beach.
The beach is fictional, it's ai, but it looks to
the naked eye, to the untrained eye, to be completely realistic,
it could be any beach anywhere. And in one of

(11:54):
the broadcasts, there's a UFO that's really big and it
emerges from the water. In another one of the broadcasts,
there's a sea creature that emerges from the water, and
in the other one there's another unidentifiable object or creature.
And in each one of those broadcasts, the journalist or

(12:14):
the newsperson, if you will, looks just like any personality
you might see on your daytime or evening news. It
is really difficult to detect whether or not these figures
are human. But if this is any indication of where
news could potentially go, it's extremely dangerous and it's very

(12:38):
scary because a lot of people are going to be
falling for a lot of fraudulent newscasts.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Of course they're going to fall for it. Oh yeah,
because it's about confirmation bias. Yeah, if you believe something
anything that will looks halfway legitimate is going to be
your evidence to point to.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's like, yes, the world is flat, I saw it
on the news.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
And the thing about it is the people who often
believe or fall for these sorts of charades or this
fraudulent information aren't people who have that media literacy.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
We talk about it all the time.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
There are people who are removed from I would say,
the daily updates about AI and people who will be
very easily influenced by what they're seeing.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
So that story's going viral.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
If you're on the YouTube channel here, it's showing in
the background and you can certainly see just how realistic
those broadcasts are. For our last story, it's a Disneyland story.
I love Disneyland. I wish Nick Poliochini was here for this.
But if you've gone to Disneyland, then you certainly know

(13:47):
disney is all about the magic, talk about confirmation bias.
We go to Disneyland, especially as children, to immerse ourselves
in this fictional storybook land. But what happens when these
character actors, whether princesses, villains, parade leads, dancers, or more,

(14:10):
become known outside of Disneyland due to their social media handles.
What's going on is that there are two princesses or
two characters that have gone viral recently. I'm going to
focus on one, and that particular one is the Evil Queen.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Think snow White. You have your evil Queen.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
Well, Disneyland and Anaheim, and Disneylands around the world have
this evil Queen character. But in Anaheim specifically, the actor
is going viral because she is ruthless. You know the
term roasting where you make fun of people. Well, this
actress goes through the park in the area storybook Land,

(14:53):
and she just makes fun of people and people love it.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
And she's gone viral.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Because people are recording their interactions with her and when
they post it, what happens next. And what's been happening
over the last few weeks is people are trying to
unearth the true identity of the Evil Queen. Now you
have all over social media questions about who she really is,

(15:19):
and you have quite a few people who have been
doing their kind of detective work to figure it out.
But thanks to these viral videos and these well meaning
Disney detectives, more and more performers are finding that their
jobs are on the line. Disney has a very strict
policy of maintaining the magic. If you are a character actor,

(15:43):
you are not supposed to in any way reference that
character in your personal life. No one is to know
that you play that character. Now, there are some very
careful workarounds, but in most cases, character actors have to
spend or delete all together their social media. And what's

(16:04):
being said now is that the iconic evil Queen in
Anaheim may have been let go from her position because
people have found out or at least have been trying
to find out, who she is.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I have met her on a couple occasions.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
When they opened up Disneyland to the media last year,
she was one of the featured talent and my son
was interviewing her. So when I saw her on the
video on our YouTube channels, like, oh yeah, I know
exactly who you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
And to your point, they are very.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Strict about keeping your personal life and your Disney life
separate because it maintains the magic absolutely.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
And again, characters can post about the character they're playing.
The actors can post about the character, but they have
to do it in a way that separates them from
the character. They can say, hey, I know the Evil
Queen or I'm friends with that actor, but they can
never say that they play that actor. So, because of

(17:04):
the viral nature of these videos, this particular actress, and
there are multiple who play the Evil Queen, but one
of them specifically is going viral again and her job
may or may not have been compromised. The jury is
still out on that one, but as of right now,
from what I've seen, she is not there. They've turned

(17:26):
to other actresses and that's the end of tonight's viral load.
You can catch me on Saturdays five to seven pm
Saturdays with Tiffany for more of this. We'll be taking
a deeper dive at six pm about this Disney story
as well, so make sure you tune in.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with mo Kelly.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
One six.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Live, Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and you to and Instagram.
Last year on Peacock there was a great, great documentary
titled Gary talking about the life and eventual death of
Gary Coleman, the comedic actor. The diminutive comedic actor talked
about his story of how he was discovered, his aspirations,

(18:20):
how immensely famous and popular. He was at the peak
of his career, and the unfortunate downfall and the tragic
circumstances of how he quote unquote ended up dead at
his house. It's a great documentary. You should see it.
One of the guests featured in the documentary is the

(18:41):
ex wife of Gary Coleman named Shannon Price, and according
to her, she was made's assurances, Promises were made as
far as what was going to be put in or
not put in, how she was going to be depicted,
and she objected to that. What I'm going to play
for you right now is she had in Price telling
her version of where she was when Gary Coleman was

(19:06):
found dead.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
By her, I.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Was in bed and Gary was already downstairs, and to
me it sounded like pans that hit the floor.

Speaker 9 (19:18):
I had my usband going me come from downstairs.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
He gone home.

Speaker 9 (19:25):
I heard them sick down go went downstairs. The blood everywhere.
I don't know, No, he was like following up about
then someone writing you down, you know if people are
living alive.

Speaker 6 (19:42):
I got out of bed and I went downstairs and
there he was laying down on the floor with blood
around his head.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
I don't know yet here be a pit of tad ol.
I just can't be here at the bottle.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I can't ca.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
I did not want to intervene with where all the
blood was because I knew help was coming.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
I know help. I got you. I don't go out
on myself by pandael. I don't want to be found
the pipe right out.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
I mean blood doesn't really freak me out. It was
just the amount of it.

Speaker 9 (20:23):
Well, I mean here, okay, I think here right out,
and I'm going to let you go. Okay, Shannon, I
think kayok by anything that.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Was her story for the documentary Gary. Shannon Price is
not pleased with it at all. But there's now a
new A and E series called Light Detector, Truth or Deception,
and it's going to put Shannon Price in the hot seat.
The two hour premiere, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Harry,
is set to air on July tenth, and uh Gary

(20:53):
Coleman died in twenty ten, and Shannon Price has agreed
to take a polygraph to test her honesty regarding the
suspicion and potential involvement in the death of Gary Coleman.
She was never charged, but there's always been suspicion surrounding
her involvement. She was the one who found him, and

(21:15):
there are questionable circumstances leading up to it. I don't
want to give it away because if you watch the
Gary documentary, there are a lot of questions which could
be answered and should be answered. Now this is just
a little snippet of this light detector show that she'll
be on.

Speaker 6 (21:31):
I just want to set the record straight for the
last time, for all the naysayers and all the negativity
out there, that I did not kill Gary Coleman. I
did not kill Gary Coleman, period. I did not kill him.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
That doesn't convince me, But there you go. Mark told
you at the beginning. I'm going to remind you it's
one of the best documentaries I've see. And part of
the reason is we remember the meteoric rise of Gary Coleman.
You kind of know some of the story about how
his parents took his money, but when you get down

(22:10):
to the granular stuff about what his parents did to
undermine him and to rob him, and the court battles,
and you get to hear it from their parent's mouth
as far as what they did and why he is
far more sympathetic, and.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
He sounds like he had a pretty tragic life.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
He did from a medical standpoint and a career standpoint.
Career standpoint what his parents did to him, robbing him
blind and have to start over from a medical standpoint
of making him basically go out there and tap dance
while he was sick, no functioning kidneys, and still trying
to maintain some semblance of a lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
All the kids from that show had rough lives, it
turns out.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, no, there's no happy ending for anyone connected to
that show pretty much.

Speaker 8 (22:57):
The girl I forget her name, the actor Dana Plato, Yeah,
didn't she either overdose or commit suicide.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
It might have been both, but it was definitely overdose
or maybe accidental suicide, but it was definitely drug related.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Yeah, show biz takes a massive toll on kids.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
And Todd Bridges is part of it. Obviously.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
He's the only one left from the show, and he
sits down and gives a lot of great insight about
who Gary Coleman was just as a person. As a kid,
he was always seemingly older.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Than he was.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
You know, he was playing a kid on TV, but
he was an adult after a certain point. You know,
he did grow up, but because of his kidney issues,
he never grew over like maybe four foot five or
four foot six.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
And Todd Bridges had issues of his own as well.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Oh, all sorts of criminal issues, drugs, a litany of things.
I can't rat them all off, but he had a
number of run ins with the law, which.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
Is just heartbreaking because these kids need people to look
after them while they're in positions like that which they
often can't handle.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
If they often can't handle it, and the parents are
probably ill equipped to hand it well. They have their
own agendas, they have their own designs on being famous
or at least being rich. The amount of money that
Gary Coleman was making per episode was astronomical, But at
the end of it all, when he left Different Strokes,
he basically had nothing.

Speaker 8 (24:20):
I wonder if the Jackie Cougan Law wouldn't have had
an effect on that. I've never you've seen the documentary
and I haven't, But Jackie Cougan was a famous child
actor whose parents treated him similarly, and that's where that
law came from, to protect the earnings of child actors.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, it probably would, but when you watch the documentary
you get to see what great links the family did
to lie about how much money he was making, where
the money was going, and even I think they were
supposed to pay like restitution, and then they never did.
It was just really horrible that two parents could have

(24:56):
done that to their child. That's exactly what I needed
something to watch. The little depress me even more after
watching the Ohio State Jim Jones wrestling molestation documentary on
HBO last night, let's just have the next one on.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I think it was depressing.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
I think it made him a far more sympathetic figure
and maybe you feel better that he's at rest now
given how life was just tortured for him every step
of the way. Because we're we were similar in age,
close in age, I think it's maybe two years older
than me, and growing up as like man, I wanted
to be Gary Coleman in the sense of to have
that type of fame, to be on TV because the

(25:34):
first time I saw him, he was on The Jeffersons.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
He was great as a as a guest co star. Wait,
Gary Coleman was on The Jeffersons. I didn't see that episode.
He was on Jeffersons, he was on Good times as well.
He did, like the whole tour the Norman Lear shows. Okay, yeah,
you can find it on YouTube. Yeah, were they like
did he play that character? Like was it a crossover?

Speaker 4 (25:55):
It was usually someone's nephew or someone who was like
they had the babysitter for the days, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
But no, he was not playing Arnold.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
So it wasn't one of those backdoor pilots that you
see in a lot of shows.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, it was not. It was not. It wasn't a
way to spin off the show.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Like we're playing the entrance of Gary Coleman on the
Jefferson's right now on our YouTube channel. If you ever
get a chance to see it, you can find on YouTube.
You could tell he was a magnificent talent at a
very young age, comedic timing and able to remember so
many lines. Marvelous talent, and unfortunately he's another story of
the industry just eating him up. When we come back,

(26:33):
I'll have my final thought on us and Iranian relations.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's next.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty and.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Here it is. I remember it vividly.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
I'm old enough to remember the Iran hostage crisis November fourth,
nineteen seventy nine, when Iranian militant seized the US embassy
in Tehran and took sixty six Americans hostage. Fifty two
eventually remained for the total four hundred and forty four days.
I remember the great Paul Harvey giving news updates along

(27:08):
the way. He was a magnificent newsman and storyteller. Growing up,
talk radio was my only real reference point as to
US and Iranian relations. By the time I got to
high school, I learned a little bit more of the
fullness of the history. How we as in the United States,
helped stage a coup in nineteen fifty three overthrowing get this,

(27:30):
an Iranian democratically elected prime minister with the goal of
installing a US friendly dictator. Imagine that we overthrew the
United States, overthrew an actual democracy to instead put in
a dictator. Isn't it supposed to work any other direction?
Weren't we supposedly in the business of exporting democracy? Well

(27:51):
not in nineteen fifty three, we weren't. But it was
then that we we as in the CIA, along with
the British MI six, installed theaw of Iran and Shaw
is Persian four king, the same Shaw who was eventually
overthrown in nineteen seventy nine during the Iranian Revolution. The
reasoning was that a US friendly dictator better served our

(28:14):
interests wink wink. In the Cold War against the Soviet Union.
We'd have a puppet friend in the region, and it
would be a bulwark against further Soviet expansion, which was
a thing then. Back then Iran bordered the Soviet Union.
The newly installed Shaw was only twenty two years old.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Imagine that the plan was that he would provide.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Stability for possibly fifty to sixty years, And by stability
I mean the constant flow of oil. But long story short,
when anyone should talk about the history between the US
and Iran, it is most definitely complicated, and it traces
all the way back to nineteen fifty three, not nineteen
seventy nine, because there's no seventy nine without fifty three.

(28:57):
But then there's also nineteen eighty when the US backed
Sodom Hussein in the Iraq versus Iran war. Yes, that
very same Sodom Hussein. That was our way of getting
back the new Iranian leadership, the Ayatola Komani because we
couldn't do it directly. We couldn't go at Iran directly.
Here's why the Algiers Accords of January nineteenth, nineteen eighty one,

(29:21):
and if you know your history, that was one day
before Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as president. Well, the accords
were signed to formally end the hostage crisis, but it
had stipulations. Chiefly, the US would not intervene politically or
militarily in Iranian internal affairs going forward, at least not directly.
Heins the backing of Sodom Hussein in that proxy war.

(29:45):
Heins the freezing of Iranian assets in the US and
sanctions for various reasons then and since over the decades.
What has often overlooked in the telling of the US
Iran history is that Iran's nuclear program originally began in
the nineteen fifties under the Shaw and its chief supporter.

(30:06):
Say it with me, the United States, we helped start
Iran's nuclear program back then. As I said, Iran shared
a border with the Soviet Union. The US couldn't put
nukes in Iran. That would be like putting nukes in
Cuba like the Soviet Union did years later, and that
led to the Cuban Missile crisis. But if Iran were

(30:27):
to wink wink developed nuclear weapons on its own, the
geopolitical benefits at that time of a Western supporting shaw
installed by the US having nuclear weapons had all sorts
of short term and long term benefits. But that same
nuclear program that was started in the nineteen fifties is
now the chief item of contention a half century later.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
I know, I know it's complicated.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
So when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, and has
been saying, that Iran is on the verge of a
nuclear weapon, yeah, they've been at that doorstep for decades.
It's not an exaggeration. But here's the thing that they
leave out. With a lot of help from US, that's
one uncomfortable truth.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Iran didn't have to start from scratch.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Their original reactors were ordered shut down after the nineteen
seventy nine Iranian Revolution, but the program was restarted in
secret in the nineteen eighties during the Iran Iraq War.
Now you tell me, do you really think it takes
forty five plus years to get a nuclear bomb when
you've been working on it since maybe nineteen eighty so
when Iran says publicly that its nuclear ambitions are directly

(31:36):
tied to the eradication of Israel, it's fair to say
Israel's concerns are warranted. But the US helped create this
Frankenstein monster. That's what's always left out. We didn't become
geopolitical enemies in nineteen seventy nine out of nowhere, and
Iran didn't start working on a bomb in the nineteen nineties.

(31:56):
It was well before that. Both are lies. So here's
the truth. The bombing of a by Israel that we're
talking about today was a long time coming. It was
always leading to this moment. The involvement of the US
in this bombing was also inevitable because of the history
leading up to this moment. There was never a scenario
in which a war with Iran was not also going

(32:18):
to include the US on some level. And Donald Trump
is going to jump at the chance. I don't care
what he said while he was campaigning. He wants this.
Our involvement may not include boots on the ground, but
we have been headed in this direction since nineteen seventy nine,
and we're sure as hell not going to stop now.
