  Speaker 1: and always glad that at this time on Wednesday mornings
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we get to hear from my old buddy Jack Atherton
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and the Big Picture, and Jack, how are you doing
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: this morning?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I'm doing okay, And boy, it's great to be with you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: We're sending like everybody healing thoughts to Brian. But being
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: on the air with you, Dan Carroll, it's like being
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: teenagers again at Fox nineteen.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Those were the days. Those were the days, weren't they.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: In fact, rather than my usual pompous commentary, betp beep beep,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we interrupt this program with breaking news. This just in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: White House is now confirm that President Trump will be
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: leaving office as required by the Constitution on January twentieth,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine. However, they have not told the president.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That's why he insists that Iran will never ever obtain
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons, whether a Kamala Harris, a Gavin Newsom, or
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: even some weak Republican president takes over. Now back to
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: family feud. Okay, the trouble is dan never is a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: tricky word. Remember how George H. W. Bush succeeded Ronald
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Reagan by pledging read my lips no new taxes, only
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to raise taxes and lose reelection. More to the point,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: when it comes to the Middle East. After Iraq's dictator
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait Bush forty one, Papa Bush kicked
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: him out, but Papa Bush a very nigh men let
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Saddam remain in power. The dictator then killed his own
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Kourdish people with poisoned gas and may or may not
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: have retained other weapons of mass destruction that left forty
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: one son push forty three to finish the job with
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: an a year war that claimed five thousand American lives
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and thirty two thousand casualties. Is President Trump making the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: same mistake as Papa Bush by letting Iran off the hook?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: By letting a terror regime remain in power, Trump was right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: He was righteous obliterating Iran's nuclear program, starting with Operation
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Midnight Hammer last June and then Operation Epic Fury in February.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: After Iran boasted that it was back with enough highly
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: enriched uranium to make eleven nuclear bombs in a matter
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of weeks. We decapitated the theocracy at that pancake breakfast,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: but not for long and with no clear results. While
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: President Trump claims we've achieved effective regime change because Iran today,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he says no leaders. He also says that Iran's new
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: leaders are begging for a deal, and that the leaders
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we're negotiating with are reasonable. But wait, there's more. On
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the other hand, President Trump concedes that those reasonable leaders
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: may or may not have power to enforce a deal,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm running out of hands now. Trump admits that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Iran's jihadists have a forty seven year history of buying
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: time by dragging out negotiations and then violating deals. Is
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: all that clear? No. Nevertheless, Trump stands by his pledge
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that Iran will never, never reconstitute its nuclear weapons program
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: even after he leaves office. Dan, someone we've all known
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: since we were kids, also like to use the word never.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: In fact, Peter Pan lived in Neverland. Look, as regular
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: listeners know, I am anything but on never Trumper. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: am not Thomas Massey, but neither am I An always Trumper,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: while our president is usually right epically on the border,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: energy independence, tax cuts, fighting crime, returning manufacturing jobs to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Ohio and the rest of America, and so much else,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: they ought to put him on Mount Rushmore. Still, contrary
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to what you read on Baseball Caps, Trump is not
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: always right, and I think he's dead wrong even to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: be negotiating with death to America Islamic terrorists because they
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: never never tell the truth. So where does that leave us?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Letting Iran play good cop bad cop while US gas
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: prices remain over four dollars aga gallon and may cost
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Republicans the midterms, And for what the possibility of a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: promise that the jihadists will never seek nuclear weapons even
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: though Iran's chief ally communist China imports ninety percent of
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Iran's oil at a discount. Forget the smiles we're going
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to see on TV. The Trump will find in Beijing?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Don't you think that China's president not for the next
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: two and a half years, president for life. Jijingping will
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: do all he can to rebuild Iran's anti Western regime
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: just waiting Trump out, and he'll keep America from bringing
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: peace to the Mid East through Trump's historic Abraham accords,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: The current commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Ahmed Fahiti, isn't
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: even bloodier fanatic than the predecessor we killed at that
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: all you can eat breakfast until you died. Begging the question,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: why haven't we killed Vahiti or at least let Israel's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Masad kill him. They're chomping at the bit. Why are
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we negotiating with the Malas and the IRGC. It's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like President Trump is protecting the Iranian people. The Jahadists
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: have already mowed down more than forty thousand protesters in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a single month and kept the rest of Iran's ninety
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: million people under house arrest, without incomes, without food, without
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: weapons to fight on their own. Yet there are no
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: reports that the White House is working with dissidents or
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: with Iranian ex patriots led by Razapoalavi, the son of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the proposed shah Dan. You're the veteran. I am not
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a chicken hawk. I am not calling for another forever
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: war like the ones in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. If
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the best we can do is delay rearmament again, that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: still better than having Iran become a nuclear power in
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a matter of weeks, because unlike Pakistan and North Korea,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Iran is run by a death cult religious fanatics vowing
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: death to America and meaning it. But if you want
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to ran never to have nukes. We got to stick
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to our guns. We got to get rid of these terrorists.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: We need to deal with a real deadline wars comes
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to worse, and one that immediately turns over Iran's highly
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: enriched uranium, allows immediate full throated inspections, and reopens the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Strait of Horror moves. Twenty percent of the words world's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: oil flows through that strait, and it's been closed for
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: more than a month. Immediately enforce those demands with the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: resumption of ethic fury or whatever you want to call
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the next phase of the war, or better still, what
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the President calls economic fury, continuing the blockade of Iranian
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: ports while destroying Iran's electrical grid as he had proposed previously,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and also a shipping capacity at carg Island. We don't
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: have to occupy it, only destroy it, while freezing the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: bank accounts worldwide of Iran's billionaire bully boys. Yes, the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Rainian people will suffer, but no more than they're suffering now,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and for the first time in half a century, those
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: people will have hope. We've made a start at doing
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: all of these things. Now we have to finish the job.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: President Trump cannot promise that Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: but he has two and a half years. I hope
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it's just two and a half weeks to act decisively.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Hope our president heeds the warning that Peter Pan's captain
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: hook heard from inside the crocodile's belly, because the clock
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is ticking.
• 8:41
