Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 2: No end in sight for the Iran conflict
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, the United States has launched a fresh barrage of
- 0:03Speaker 1: strikes on Iran overnight that would make it thirteen straight
- 0:07Speaker 1: nights of relentless bombing, and President Trump is threatening a
- 0:13Speaker 1: major new escalation. This is after Tehran has opened up
- 0:18Speaker 1: a second front in its pressure campaign on the world economy,
- 0:22Speaker 1: both in the Strait of Hormuz and now with the
- 0:25Speaker 1: help of the Hooties the Red Sea. Trump says he's
- 0:28Speaker 1: weighing weather launch a massive attack on the Islamic Republic.
- 0:32Speaker 1: That would be this isn't quote from him, that would
- 0:36Speaker 1: be bigger than ever before. This is what he told
- 0:40Speaker 1: Axios last night. The president's warning followed hours later by
- 0:45Speaker 1: a thirteenth straight night of military attacks. It came as
- 0:49Speaker 1: oil briefly surged above one hundred dollars a barrel. Now
- 0:54Speaker 1: it has come back down. The Hooties. The reason he's
- 0:57Speaker 1: talking about threatening hitting the Hoodies in is because the
- 1:01Speaker 1: Hoodies launch strikes and hit two Saldi tankers, and one
- 1:06Speaker 1: of the Saldi tankers it made it leak oil into
- 1:10Speaker 1: the Red Sea. And so right now it's just a warning.
- 1:14Speaker 1: It's not going to be a definite attack. He said
- 1:17Speaker 1: to the hoodies, stand down. Or there is going to
- 1:21Speaker 1: be a massive attack on you. So we'll see if
- 1:24Speaker 1: that works. But when he talks about this massive attack,
- 1:28Speaker 1: everybody's trying to figure out exactly what it's going to be.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Because for one hundred and fifty nights, we've had about
- 1:33Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty airstrikes a night, and some of
- 1:36Speaker 1: the people were saying, well, that's going to go up
- 1:39Speaker 1: to about two hundred and fifty, and it is very
- 1:42Speaker 1: possible that he's going to start taking out new targets.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And he's got to be careful at this point because
- 1:50Speaker 1: if you hit any civilian targets and you're not officially
- 1:55Speaker 1: at war, which by the way, we call it a war,
- 1:58Speaker 1: but according to the rest of the war world, these
- 2:00Speaker 1: are air strikes and there's no troops on the ground.
- 2:05Speaker 1: So because of that, if he were to hit civilian
- 2:07Speaker 1: targets at this point, they would consider that a war crime.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And so it is difficult from what he wants to
- 2:14Speaker 1: go after. I guess the number one target at this point,
- 2:18Speaker 1: although he still hasn't hit it, is Pickax Mountain. Now.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Pickaxe Mountain is where they are reconstructing some of the missiles,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and they're reconstructing their hiding missiles that they were able
- 2:30Speaker 1: to get. If you keep saying, where are they doing this?
- 2:32Speaker 1: And this is where they apparently moved a lot of
- 2:34Speaker 1: the nuclear material. It is the centerpiece of their defense
- 2:40Speaker 1: and their offense at this point. And why we didn't
- 2:43Speaker 1: know this before, I don't know. But right now it
- 2:46Speaker 1: has become target number one and I'm not sure why
- 2:50Speaker 1: we haven't hit it yet. One last thing, Curtis that
- 2:53Speaker 1: has come up. The United States now feels like they
- 2:58Speaker 1: are getting satellite guided from another country, and they believe
- 3:02Speaker 1: that country is China. It is something that we need
- 3:05Speaker 1: to talk about because it is going to become a
- 3:08Speaker 1: bigger deal over the next several days. That's now leaking
- 3:12Speaker 1: out from White House spokespeople or people in the Pentagon.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And because they're leaking that out, that sounds like it's
- 3:20Speaker 1: a warning to China that we know what you're doing.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't care. Russians don't care. Russians helping them.
- 3:26Speaker 2: They have good allies of the Iranians. They care about
- 3:28Speaker 2: their economy. We shouldn't be surprised, No.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I'm not think I don't think anybody is surprised. But
- 3:33Speaker 1: I don't think the Chinese want more tariffs.
- 3:36Speaker 2: No, no, but Trump has to do a kabuki dance
- 3:40Speaker 2: with that one whenever you play the tariff game with
- 3:43Speaker 2: the Red Chinese. But the B two stealth bombers that
- 3:47Speaker 2: hit the Nucleus sites months ago, you know, have to
- 3:51Speaker 2: fly all day from Missouri and then come back in
- 3:54Speaker 2: order to do it. They could hit that area as
- 3:57Speaker 2: you announced it, Pickax Mountain without doing damage to civilian targets.
- 4:01Speaker 2: That's in the middle of nowhere. The only ones who
- 4:04Speaker 2: would be killed is anyone who was assigned to Pickacks Mountain,
- 4:07Speaker 2: and I have a feeling if they thought it was coming,
- 4:09Speaker 2: they would abandon that facility. They'd be running for the hills.
- 4:12Speaker 2: That's one he's threatened to send in B one bombers
- 4:15Speaker 2: that would drop payloads in other places. So he's really talking.
- 4:19Speaker 1: All out war.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Or as Rubio said, forget this eye for an eye
- 4:23Speaker 2: that the Iranians are talking about. It's a head for
- 4:26Speaker 2: an eye. The industrial bases decimated. You know, we've taken
- 4:32Speaker 2: out their launchers, their radar every day, but they still
- 4:36Speaker 2: seem to be able to, like Abra cadabra, find more missiles,
- 4:41Speaker 2: find more sites. So it's high stakes there's no doubt
- 4:46Speaker 2: about it. But it is being reported that Iran is
- 4:49Speaker 2: not just rolled over. Apparently they flew Islamic Revolutionary Guard commanders,
- 4:55Speaker 2: some missile parts and Jome parts gear into Yemen and
- 5:01Speaker 2: helping them, you know, get back up to snuff. Because
- 5:04Speaker 2: remember we did a lot of damage first with Biden
- 5:06Speaker 2: and net with Trump, we poured death in destruction along
- 5:09Speaker 2: with bb and the IDF Air Force. Remember, I just
- 5:13Speaker 2: leveled those parts of where Yemen was actually getting adversarial
- 5:20Speaker 2: towards any ship traffic in the Red Sea. So with
- 5:23Speaker 2: the ship traffic in the Red Sea now precarious, just
- 5:27Speaker 2: seems the Iranians they're not in any way, shape or form,
- 5:31Speaker 2: just hunkering down.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Listen, the Hoodies have not been involved in this until
- 5:35Speaker 1: just now, and so they've been wary of it. They
- 5:38Speaker 1: were really shot down the last time they tried this,
- 5:41Speaker 1: if you remember, they were shutting down everything in the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Red Sea and they were hit hard, and so the
- 5:48Speaker 1: Iranians have been trying to convince them to get involved
- 5:51Speaker 1: in this. That was their first time that they hit anything.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I got a feel and they're going to stand down.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I do not think they're gonna keep going because they
- 5:59Speaker 1: don't to be wiped out again.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yeah, no, who knows. Remember, these are zealous, these crazies
- 6:07Speaker 2: in many inside.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The last time it worked on them, I mean, they
- 6:09Speaker 1: got hit hard and they stopped right.
- 6:10Speaker 2: But it's spreading out this war map again, so it's
- 6:14Speaker 2: not just isolated to Iran. We know that Hezbola continues
- 6:17Speaker 2: to battle Israel. It's still sparking up with Hamas in Gaza.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I wouldn't include hoodies in your war map just yet. Wait,
- 6:26Speaker 1: just wait, wait to see what they do. I think
- 6:29Speaker 1: I really believe they're gonna back there.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Well, the Sorties ain't sending no more oil through see
- 6:33Speaker 2: that's for sure. By the way, the Prime Minister of Iraq,
- 6:37Speaker 2: who came to the White House and was well received
- 6:39Speaker 2: last week, apparently the White House is acknowledging that he
- 6:43Speaker 2: carried a peace proposal. He and his staff they went
- 6:47Speaker 2: back to Baghdad and flew to Tehran because they have
- 6:50Speaker 2: a working relationship with the Iran government. And we don't
- 6:55Speaker 2: know what the details of the Trump proposal were, but
- 6:59Speaker 2: the Iraqi prime minister said they rejected it. They reach
- 7:03Speaker 2: other all they're focused on, he said, they're obsessed with
- 7:06Speaker 2: control of the straits of hermus They do not want
- 7:09Speaker 2: to give up control of that, so they passed on
- 7:12Speaker 2: the messages. Now Oman has passed on messages, Pakistan has
- 7:15Speaker 2: passed on messages. We've had Qatar's passed on messages. But
- 7:21Speaker 2: if we're not dealing with them directly, do we really
- 7:25Speaker 2: trust messengers. That's sort of like you know when I
- 7:27Speaker 2: say a cup of coffee and then you respond and
- 7:30Speaker 2: you say a.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Cup of tea.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Is sort of like we got to get back to
- 7:33Speaker 2: direct communications with.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Because we have no idea who they're talking to. If
- 7:36Speaker 1: they talk to one person, they'll say yes, the deal,
- 7:39Speaker 1: will will take it right away. If they talk to
- 7:41Speaker 1: another person close to the ayatola, apparently they're going to
- 7:45Speaker 1: say no, that's no good. By the way, you mentioned
- 7:49Speaker 1: that quote from Marco Rubio. It's a tremendous, tremendous quote.
- 7:53Speaker 1: I do have it. So let's play him saying this as.
- 7:56Speaker 3: I saw a Rachi, their foreign minister, who the other
- 7:59Speaker 3: day say or something about their policies an eye for
- 8:01Speaker 3: an eye. The president's policy is ahead for an eye.
- 8:05Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, that's what it's going to be. I mean,
- 8:07Speaker 3: they will pay a very heavy price for the things
- 8:10Speaker 3: they're doing.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So it's an escalation.
- 8:13Speaker 2: And again, if you're following this, I think are average
- 8:16Speaker 2: citizens in America they're getting vertigo like I've gotten vertigo.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Heard soft hard soft hard soft.
- 8:22Speaker 2: The President has said, and he reiterated that yesterday, that
- 8:26Speaker 2: if you kill one of us, meaning an American, then
- 8:29Speaker 2: in return, one bridge or one power plant goes down.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I would think if he's sending in B one bombers,
- 8:36Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot more than one bridge
- 8:38Speaker 2: or one power plant. Remember when Osama bin Laden was
- 8:44Speaker 2: escaping dressed in the Burka, remember the tallest person ever
- 8:47Speaker 2: the way at Burka, and he was running through those
- 8:50Speaker 2: hills of Tora Bora or whatever they called it there
- 8:53Speaker 2: when the B one bombers were raining death and destruction.
- 8:56Speaker 2: B one bombers obliterate everything in its path. It's an
- 8:59Speaker 2: old stylebomber, but it obliterates everything. So everything is in place,
- 9:05Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But the most surprised people in
- 9:09Speaker 2: the world was the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who
- 9:12Speaker 2: had agreed with Donald Trump on a negotiated broad nuclear
- 9:18Speaker 2: deal that would allow the Saudis for the first time
- 9:21Speaker 2: to develop their own nuclear fuel like the UAE has
- 9:24Speaker 2: they have a nuclear power plant, but the idea would
- 9:27Speaker 2: be they wouldn't be as regulated, so eventually it might
- 9:30Speaker 2: be converted to what Iran is trying to converted to
- 9:33Speaker 2: weaponize nuclear material. They could be put on a missile
- 9:38Speaker 2: and then used as a nuclear weapon. The President yesterday
- 9:42Speaker 2: surprised the Saudis when he said, oh, no, it won't
- 9:46Speaker 2: happen unless they agree to the Abraham Accords, which would
- 9:49Speaker 2: mean like the UAE, like Bahrain, to have a relationship
- 9:53Speaker 2: with Israel. Now I don't like the Saudis. I still
- 9:58Speaker 2: find them culpable for the attack nine to eleven and
- 10:01Speaker 2: a lot of those fake princes in the House of Fraud.
- 10:04Speaker 2: But I understand from their perspective they are the guardians
- 10:07Speaker 2: of Mecca and Medina. Two million Muslims must go on
- 10:11Speaker 2: Ajaj at some point in their life. Every year they
- 10:13Speaker 2: go to Mecca Medina, not all of them friends of
- 10:16Speaker 2: the Saudis, which is the Sunni leadership. Can you imagine
- 10:20Speaker 2: if they openly embraced Israel without getting assurances, Man, they're
- 10:25Speaker 2: gonna be some angry Muslims doing their Hodge suicide bombers
- 10:28Speaker 2: you know, we've seen that before, so let's see how
- 10:32Speaker 2: this plays out. I don't think the President necessarily at
- 10:36Speaker 2: first was talking Abraham accourts, because it really does seem
- 10:39Speaker 2: that Saudis was surprised by that.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yes, I think you're absolutely correct. But the big thing
- 10:43Speaker 1: is going to be whether in the next couple of nights,
- 10:45Speaker 1: we're gonna wake up the next day and hear that
- 10:49Speaker 1: we had a mass of strike in Iran. And I
- 10:51Speaker 1: do believe that is coming. Remember when we were kids
- 10:55Speaker 1: and they used to walk around in the locker room
- 10:57Speaker 1: and do cup checks all the time. Yeah, so if
- 11:00Speaker 1: you weren't wearing a cup, it hurt a lot. Well,
- 11:03Speaker 1: there's a couple of major leaguers that are refusing to
- 11:06Speaker 1: wear cups and they got a cup check the hard way.
- 11:09Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that when we come back. Also,
- 11:14Speaker 1: joy is essential and elusive. You can't order it or
- 11:19Speaker 1: borrow it. But now there's a new way to start
- 11:22Speaker 1: your journey towards a more joyful existence. That sounds nice, huh.
- 11:27Speaker 1: The Joy one oh one podcast with Hotacopy. Look for
- 11:31Speaker 1: it on the free iHeartRadio app Excess. I completely understand
- 11:38Speaker 1: why baseball players do not want to wear cups. They're horrible.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I know you have to wear one, especially in certain sports.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I mean in baseball. When I played a little baseball,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I wasn't very good, but you had to wear a
- 11:52Speaker 1: cup and they go around to a cup check where
- 11:54Speaker 1: they hit you in that area to make sure you're
- 11:56Speaker 1: wearing one. Football, obviously you have to wear one, but
- 12:00Speaker 1: it's horrible. I hate the thing, So I get why
- 12:03Speaker 1: players don't like to wear it. And we're talking about
- 12:05Speaker 1: this because there are many players, not just a couple.
- 12:09Speaker 1: There are many players in Major League Baseball that refuse
- 12:13Speaker 1: to wear a cup. Now, all catchers wear them, right,
- 12:15Speaker 1: all pitchers wear them, most infielders wear them, but some
- 12:18Speaker 1: of them don't. And that brings us to this story
- 12:22Speaker 1: because there is a guy, an extremely good hitter who
- 12:27Speaker 1: is with the Athletics who refuses to wear a cup,
- 12:33Speaker 1: just refuses to. His name is Joshua Coroda Grower. Well,
- 12:38Speaker 1: guess what I think he'll be wearing them from now
- 12:41Speaker 1: on because he took a line drive to that area
- 12:44Speaker 1: and it ruptured his testicles on Monday night. Ruptured one
- 12:48Speaker 1: of the testicles. I shouldn't say both, ruptured one of
- 12:51Speaker 1: the testicles. It was when he was at bat and
- 12:56Speaker 1: it fouled the ball off and it went right down
- 12:58Speaker 1: and it hit him there, And so it could have
- 13:01Speaker 1: happened to anybody. But you know, if you're wearing a cup,
- 13:04Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been a big problem. But it's a
- 13:06Speaker 1: fascinating to me how many players refuse to wear them
- 13:12Speaker 1: in the In Major League Baseball, I thought it was mandatory.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Yeah, well, look, I played baseball and football in high school.
- 13:20Speaker 1: You had to wear a cup. You had the cup check.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Also, the coach would not let you go out on
- 13:25Speaker 2: the field unless everybody had a cup in their jockstrap.
- 13:28Speaker 1: He used to provide them to you.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Secondarily, this Joshua Grower, he goes down, He's in tremendous pain.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You could see it as you pointed out. He filed
- 13:37Speaker 2: that pitch directly into his goin area. He gets up,
- 13:41Speaker 2: he smashes a single to center field. He goes out
- 13:45Speaker 2: in the field and plays in any of defense, and
- 13:47Speaker 2: then I think he realized he couldn't move.
- 13:49Speaker 1: After that, they had.
- 13:50Speaker 2: To rush him to the e R, the ICU and
- 13:53Speaker 2: have an operation for eruptured testicle. This comes on the
- 13:56Speaker 2: heels of the New York Yankee second baseman Chisholm exactly
- 14:00Speaker 2: the same thing had to be, you know, out of
- 14:05Speaker 2: out of playing time, and said, I'm not wearing a cup.
- 14:09Speaker 2: You know, he fouled the ball right into his three
- 14:11Speaker 2: piece set. And I'm not talking about a knife of
- 14:13Speaker 2: spoon and a fork.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Man. That hurts. Yeah, no, that hurts a lot. Adrian
- 14:17Speaker 1: Beltrie is another one that refuses to wear a cup.
- 14:20Speaker 1: They're all infielders.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I'm a street fighter. One of the points you're gonna
- 14:24Speaker 2: go at right away is the male vulnerable anatomy. If
- 14:29Speaker 2: you want to weaken him, a good shot to the
- 14:31Speaker 2: groin area is gonna slow him down.
- 14:33Speaker 1: So, man, they're paying millions of.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Dollars to these guys. It's got to be mandated in
- 14:39Speaker 2: the contract. You either wear a cup or you don't
- 14:41Speaker 2: get your millions.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Well, none of the outfielders do, right, So you're gonna
- 14:45Speaker 1: you're gonna exempt that.
- 14:46Speaker 2: No, no, not, because it's happening more and more. The
- 14:49Speaker 2: pictures are faster, the slidest, so the impact on a bat.
- 14:55Speaker 2: In fact, we should bring this up with Warner on
- 14:57Speaker 2: Monday when we join him. He's probably remember ballplayers who
- 15:01Speaker 2: not only got hit in their three piece set, but
- 15:03Speaker 2: then got up and hit a grand show him home run.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I think it's funny as I was looking at the
- 15:08Speaker 1: statistics on who wears them, who doesn't? All catchers wear them,
- 15:13Speaker 1: every single catcher. Let's get some talkbacks.
- 15:16Speaker 4: My take on Penn Station is a little bit different
- 15:18Speaker 4: from Curtises. I think they ought to sell Amtrak to
- 15:21Speaker 4: Elon Musk. He could fix up the trains like he
- 15:24Speaker 4: fixed up the rocket ships, and he fixed up the
- 15:27Speaker 4: electric cars and make them profitable, and they could call
- 15:30Speaker 4: Penn Station the Tesla train station.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Did he say the Testicula train? Your mind still in
- 15:37Speaker 1: the least. Yeah, yeah, But I don't think Elon Musk
- 15:41Speaker 1: is interested in Penn Station. He's doing some other things
- 15:44Speaker 1: like trying to make the blind see and the paralyzed walk.
- 15:49Speaker 5: They're all over the place, and now all of a sudden,
- 15:51Speaker 5: they're not talking about anything that's uh huh what this
- 15:54Speaker 5: election thing. I'm telling you, gentlemen, this is going to
- 15:57Speaker 5: get very, very bad, and if Mickey doesn't release those
- 16:01Speaker 5: sixty six hundred, it's going to get a heck of
- 16:02Speaker 5: a lot worse. That's a big problem.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right, and we're gonna be talking a
- 16:08Speaker 1: lot more about this, but this is just the beginning.
- 16:11Speaker 1: You're absolutely correct. Now the Justice Department sees blood, and
- 16:17Speaker 1: so far Mikey Cheryl has not turned over the voting rolls. Well.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Look, she thought she would become the starlet outside of
- 16:25Speaker 2: Delaney Hall.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Now she is a unwanted starlet. She's in the spotlight,
- 16:31Speaker 1: but she's ducking for coming. I love how the Democrats
- 16:34Speaker 1: like are. Oh, thanks a lot, thanks a lot for
- 16:37Speaker 1: doing this. Why don't you check with us next time?
- 16:40Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily rushing to her aid, ask you US
- 16:43Speaker 2: Senator Kim from New Jersey.
- 16:47Speaker 1: All right, let's get the news at seven point thirty

- 18:16Speaker 2: But before we do that, we got to talk about
- 18:18Speaker 2: the hot water that many of you get into without
- 18:21Speaker 2: realizing it. Because you're always careful, but you don't understand
- 18:27Speaker 2: that you got to be super careful and you need assistance,
- 18:30Speaker 2: You need tactical air support. And that's why I want
- 18:34Speaker 2: you to rely on Incogniti as I do. Let me
- 18:37Speaker 2: spell it out for you. Write it down and I'll
- 18:38Speaker 2: break it down for you. That's I, ncog and I.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Because there are thousands of place on the Internet that
- 18:45Speaker 2: have a file with your name on it, your home address,
- 18:48Speaker 2: your cell number, your email address, your medical conditions, age,
- 18:52Speaker 2: how you vote, your kids' names. You don't have access
- 18:56Speaker 2: to that file.
- 18:56Speaker 1: But guess what.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Anyone with a credit card can buy it and it
- 19:00Speaker 2: all legal. It's a multi billion dollar industry called data
- 19:05Speaker 2: brokers that have it. Oh, they package it, they sell it,
- 19:08Speaker 2: collect it, and again it's legal. To do something about it.
- 19:13Speaker 2: To stop that, you must you must consider getting Incogniti
- 19:17Speaker 2: n cog ni. It goes broken by broker and forces
- 19:21Speaker 2: each one to delete your file and then it comes
- 19:23Speaker 2: back like whack the mole and if it sees them
- 19:26Speaker 2: emerge again. It makes them bury it in. Cognate will
- 19:31Speaker 2: find them every scam call, every phishing text that knows
- 19:34Speaker 2: too much about you. Someone paid for your file, and
- 19:37Speaker 2: when your data tries to creep back in, Cognate wipes
- 19:41Speaker 2: it out again. Go to incognit dot com slash curtis

- 19:58Speaker 1: Good, they tell you what curtisy. I'm so happy at
- 20:01Speaker 1: this news. I hate Jack Smith. It's hard to like
- 20:05Speaker 1: this guy because if you were casting a movie and
- 20:10Speaker 1: you wanted an evil, silent villain, you'd cast this guy.
- 20:15Speaker 1: If you wanted a guy to play the Grim Reaper,
- 20:18Speaker 1: you'd cast this guy. He just looks evil and I've
- 20:23Speaker 1: never seen him smile, not once. We've seen him on
- 20:26Speaker 1: TV all the time, never ever cracks a smile, always
- 20:31Speaker 1: has this mean look. And you'll remember he is the
- 20:34Speaker 1: guy that the Biden administration brought in to go after
- 20:38Speaker 1: Donald Trump, to try to get Donald Trump really on anything.
- 20:43Speaker 1: They kept going after him and going after him and
- 20:45Speaker 1: going after him. The lead of that investigation was Jack Smith,
- 20:50Speaker 1: and he was trying to uncover everything. He was going
- 20:55Speaker 1: after everybody, anybody that had contact with Donald Trump, he
- 21:00Speaker 1: was after them. And so he went after the texts
- 21:06Speaker 1: and emails of many Republicans in Congress and many of
- 21:12Speaker 1: the Chuck Grassley, who's head of the Foreign Relations Committee,
- 21:17Speaker 1: he went after him. He looked at his emails and
- 21:22Speaker 1: text which, by the way, is not legal. You can't
- 21:26Speaker 1: do that. And the guy that's going after him now
- 21:29Speaker 1: is Jim Jordan. You know him that Curtis always says.
- 21:32Speaker 1: He's the guy that doesn't wear a jacket. No jacket.
- 21:35Speaker 1: He likes to flex. Yeah. And as a matter of fact,
- 21:37Speaker 1: when I watched this interview, I laughed because he wasn't
- 21:39Speaker 1: wearing a jacket. He was just wearing a white shirt
- 21:42Speaker 1: with a tie like he always does. But he explains
- 21:45Speaker 1: why this is criminal.
- 21:47Speaker 7: We are a separate, equal branch of government and there's
- 21:50Speaker 7: a speech of debate clause in our constitution. They should
- 21:53Speaker 7: have screened out any communications relative to our work as legislators.
- 21:57Speaker 1: They did not do it.
- 21:58Speaker 7: And the guy on his team who got that in
- 21:59Speaker 7: from was Thomas Windham, a guy we'd also deposed, who
- 22:03Speaker 7: we also referred because he tried he tried to obstruct
- 22:06Speaker 7: our investigation.
- 22:07Speaker 1: And so now this investigation is becoming a big deal.
- 22:12Speaker 1: There is also word that he shared these text and emails,
- 22:17Speaker 1: not as part of the prosecution, but because he thought
- 22:21Speaker 1: they were funny. And I just can't picture him laughing.
- 22:25Speaker 1: But apparently he shared them with others at the White
- 22:28Speaker 1: House and other Democrats, and they all laughed at them
- 22:31Speaker 1: as the text and emails went back and forth. I'm
- 22:34Speaker 1: sure you know when you go after text and emails,
- 22:38Speaker 1: you don't find something specific. You see everything. And so
- 22:42Speaker 1: whatever he was laughing at was probably something that nobody
- 22:46Speaker 1: else was supposed to see him wasn't even part of
- 22:48Speaker 1: the investigation. But of all the people Curtis I would
- 22:52Speaker 1: love to see behind bars, it's Jack Smith.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Well, first off, I would charge him with agism going
- 22:57Speaker 2: after Grassley and Iowa, what is he like? One hundred
- 23:00Speaker 2: At eight years old, he remembers when the only way
- 23:03Speaker 2: you communicated in the Senate was with a quill pen
- 23:06Speaker 2: on a piece of paper.
- 23:07Speaker 1: It's so funny you said that, because the first thing
- 23:10Speaker 1: I thought of was Chuck Grassley texts. Yeah, exactly, he's
- 23:14Speaker 1: got to have staff to it.
- 23:15Speaker 2: But the surprise here is surprise, surprise Democrats, even though
- 23:21Speaker 2: he was your hero Jack Smith on the list of
- 23:24Speaker 2: the forty four emails and texts that he was sharing
- 23:28Speaker 2: and laughing were also Democratic for yeah, right, So it's
- 23:32Speaker 2: almost like if he thought they were funny.
- 23:35Speaker 1: And again, you're right, he never smiles.
- 23:38Speaker 2: He is just he iphonicates and mad dogs everybody. But
- 23:43Speaker 2: it was like, what, you're a US attorney and you're
- 23:46Speaker 2: spreading this around and sharing it and you're having a
- 23:49Speaker 2: good old belly laugh at people's expense. No, you gotta
- 23:53Speaker 2: go down for this. So Jim Jordan is absolutely right
- 23:56Speaker 2: to flex. He's absolutely right to be doing a criminal
- 24:00Speaker 2: referral to the Department of Justice to put this guy
- 24:05Speaker 2: in jail.
- 24:06Speaker 1: You just don't do that. Now, we've heard of leaks.
- 24:09Speaker 2: We know that Washington DC, and we know the US
- 24:12Speaker 2: Attorney's officers around the country. They leak information without putting
- 24:17Speaker 2: their fingerprints on it.
- 24:18Speaker 1: His fingerprints are all all of this, Yeah they are.
- 24:21Speaker 1: But that's exactly why he was sharing them. He was
- 24:24Speaker 1: sharing them so they would be leaked out and he
- 24:27Speaker 1: wouldn't be part of it. He regardless of what you
- 24:30Speaker 1: think of jack Smith, and I can't stand the guy.
- 24:32Speaker 1: He is an excellent attorney and he is so good
- 24:36Speaker 1: that they don't have him on lying. They admit that
- 24:39Speaker 1: they don't have him outright lying. They say he misled
- 24:43Speaker 1: us because he is so good at not answering a question.
- 24:47Speaker 2: It seems like I remember when James called me was
- 24:49Speaker 2: FBI director. Both sides ended up hating him at one
- 24:52Speaker 2: point or another. He used the Columbia law professor friend
- 24:57Speaker 2: to leak out the information and then lied, No, it
- 25:00Speaker 2: wasn't me.
- 25:01Speaker 1: He finally admitted it under oath wasn't me. Yeah. But
- 25:04Speaker 1: the thing about him admitting it under oath, he had
- 25:07Speaker 1: already lied about it three times, so that and they
- 25:10Speaker 1: tried to get him on that too, and they didn't.
- 25:12Speaker 1: That's why I really don't believe this is going anywhere now.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Jacksmith originally was with the Eastern District of New York
- 25:19Speaker 2: City and the Federal Prosecutors that represents Brooklyn, Queens and
- 25:23Speaker 2: Long Island. He didn't have the greatest reputation in the world.
- 25:27Speaker 2: He was competent on assistant US attorney. But you're right,
- 25:30Speaker 2: he was hired by the Biden administration as a hit man.
- 25:34Speaker 1: And he came from the Hague. He was working for
- 25:36Speaker 1: the International Criminal Court over there, and they flew him
- 25:39Speaker 1: in from the Hague. Doesn't he look like he would
- 25:41Speaker 1: be flowing in from the Hague? God?
- 25:43Speaker 2: I mean god. You imagine him in court when he's
- 25:46Speaker 2: doing a cross examination, the witness, whether pro or you know,
- 25:52Speaker 2: if it's a favorable witness or it's an adversarial witness
- 25:55Speaker 2: saying hey, guy lighting up, And I was like, do
- 25:58Speaker 2: you have a smile? He is so Jack Coney, But hey,
- 26:02Speaker 2: this guy deserves it. I want to give high five
- 26:05Speaker 2: to Jim Jordan for really pursuing this the same way
- 26:10Speaker 2: that Rand Paul is pursuing the Jack Kavorkian of our time.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Remember a man who told us, don't worry about it. Oh,
- 26:19Speaker 2: I got you COVID through COVID where he was almost
- 26:23Speaker 2: on a pedestal. There was Jesus Christ and there was
- 26:26Speaker 2: the evil doctor Fauci. So you may do harm to
- 26:30Speaker 2: many people. You can run, but you can't hide because
- 26:33Speaker 2: our system allows for that, the checks and balance.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Here's the awful part about Fauci. You're right, they have
- 26:39Speaker 1: him dead to rights. He lied. He caused this, He
- 26:43Speaker 1: caused one of the greatest health crises we've had globally
- 26:49Speaker 1: in history, and then he lied about it, and he
- 26:53Speaker 1: profited from it. And he's going to get off because
- 26:57Speaker 1: he has a partner. Yeah, I don't know.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You know how Rand polish. He is relentless. We should
- 27:04Speaker 2: all applaud what ran polishing. But up next, man, she
- 27:08Speaker 2: thought outside the lamy hole, she was gonna be the
- 27:11Speaker 2: darling of the left and progressives in the battle against
- 27:15Speaker 2: isis not isis ice. But now in this ballot fraud
- 27:20Speaker 2: issue that Larry Force brought to our attention, the plot
- 27:24Speaker 2: thickens and Democrats are not happy with her.
- 27:27Speaker 1: She was so slick, Curtis. She had that big announcement
- 27:33Speaker 1: a few days ago where she said, listen, we looked
- 27:37Speaker 1: at our voter rolls, and we found out that there
- 27:40Speaker 1: was a glitch in some software and those who were
- 27:42Speaker 1: going to get their driver's license and were here illegally
- 27:46Speaker 1: were automatically put on the voting rolls. We've cleaned it up. Yeah,
- 27:50Speaker 1: four hundred and some of them voted, actually voted, but
- 27:55Speaker 1: they're off the rolls now, no fuss, no mess. So
- 27:58Speaker 1: she thought she was head of this problem. She thought
- 28:02Speaker 1: that there might be an investigation coming that she could
- 28:05Speaker 1: ward off by coming out and just admitting that they
- 28:09Speaker 1: had a problem. Whoa no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 28:13Speaker 1: This has become a national story. It is exploded. The
- 28:19Speaker 1: White House is talking about it now, and Trump is
- 28:23Speaker 1: talking about it. Republicans are talking about it, and Democrats
- 28:27Speaker 1: every time they go on the TV now they get
- 28:30Speaker 1: hit with I thought you told us that there were
- 28:32Speaker 1: no illegals voting. The governor of New Jersey says there
- 28:36Speaker 1: is now. She had a news conference yesterday. She is
- 28:40Speaker 1: trying so hard to move on, so she wanted to
- 28:44Speaker 1: come out and say she's making it illegal. And this
- 28:46Speaker 1: is a great idea making it illegal for that dynamic
- 28:50Speaker 1: pricing where they can charge you depending on how much
- 28:53Speaker 1: you make, everybody get has to have a different price.
- 28:55Speaker 1: And it was a good thing that she was doing.
- 28:57Speaker 1: That's not what the media wanted to talk about.
- 29:00Speaker 8: Running an independent investigation right now to get to the
- 29:04Speaker 8: bottom of exactly how this happened and what's going on.
- 29:07Speaker 8: But you know, it is not a surprise to me
- 29:10Speaker 8: that the federal government, that the Trump administration wants to
- 29:13Speaker 8: immediately weaponize this against people as opposed to focusing on
- 29:17Speaker 8: making sure that we're running free and fair elections.
- 29:19Speaker 1: They don't want to weaponize it. You admitted there was
- 29:22Speaker 1: a problem. They want to see what you saw, and
- 29:26Speaker 1: they want to know how big of a problem is it.
- 29:30Speaker 1: That's it, that's all. They're just doing their job. She
- 29:35Speaker 1: has stepped in it so badly. This is not going away.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Well, the dams like you see, Junior Senator of New Jersey, Kim,
- 29:46Speaker 2: why don't she give.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Us your heads up right exactly?
- 29:49Speaker 2: So at least we could prepare, you know, we could
- 29:52Speaker 2: put our shield up, we could have our talking points.
- 29:55Speaker 1: So he's upshet.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Other Democrats are upshet because they're states where they obviously
- 30:03Speaker 2: are involved in the electoral process, because it's generally a
- 30:06Speaker 2: state issue, might be plagued by the same problem. Because
- 30:09Speaker 2: the same company that she was blaming provides the same
- 30:13Speaker 2: services to other states. As I had mentioned on day
- 30:17Speaker 2: one when you broke this story, Larry Hockle's got to
- 30:20Speaker 2: worry about this because the same company provides the same services.
- 30:26Speaker 2: The helicopter pilot in New Jersey. What's her name again?
- 30:29Speaker 2: I keep Mikey Cheryl? Why do I keep calling her Cherrell?
- 30:32Speaker 2: I know the Cherelle's, that's a great group.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Exactly because her voice, Oh my god, it's not the Chelle's.
- 30:38Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 30:39Speaker 2: But Hockle uses the same service, and the service came
- 30:43Speaker 2: out and said, it's not our software. You can not
- 30:45Speaker 2: be blaming it on the software. Please, you're lying there.
- 30:48Speaker 2: And I think now Hochele is and Tis James the
- 30:51Speaker 2: Attorney general here at least the Democrats now are like
- 30:56Speaker 2: manning and woming up, thinking like what are we going
- 30:58Speaker 2: to do in cases comes around to us.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Well, she had a news conference, Kathy Hochel yesterday about
- 31:03Speaker 1: something else, and she's getting hited with it. Every governor
- 31:06Speaker 1: in the country is getting hit with it. Here's what
- 31:08Speaker 1: she said yesterday.
- 31:10Speaker 9: Totally different processes. We don't have an outside third party vendor.
- 31:15Speaker 9: Are the ones who made the mistake. We don't work
- 31:18Speaker 9: with them in this capacity at all.
- 31:20Speaker 1: In our DMV.
- 31:21Speaker 9: And I used to run seven DMVs in my earlier
- 31:23Speaker 9: job as a county clerk. So I know all about
- 31:25Speaker 9: running DMVs and collecting this information.
- 31:28Speaker 2: It goes all right, that's enough of her, but you see,
- 31:31Speaker 2: I'm glad she said that I used to run the DMV.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Yes once she was the Erie County clerk. Remember she
- 31:38Speaker 2: made national headlines as a Democrat when Elliot spitcher the
- 31:42Speaker 2: governor this should before he got into a nasty, nasty
- 31:46Speaker 2: problems and had to resign. She defied the governor. She said,
- 31:50Speaker 2: I will not issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
- 31:54Speaker 1: You'll have to arrest me.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Remember what she made those Now, all of a sudden,
- 31:58Speaker 2: it's the same process.
- 32:00Speaker 1: You're the illegal alien.
- 32:01Speaker 2: You get your driver's license, you're expected to check off
- 32:04Speaker 2: the box that says, now you understand you cannot legally vote.
- 32:08Speaker 1: And it says right on it. It is a federal offense. Yes,
- 32:12Speaker 1: at most don't, but we know some do.
- 32:15Speaker 2: So that's the problem is that why do you create
- 32:17Speaker 2: a process that could be violated with no ramification.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a really good point.
- 32:24Speaker 1: It's because everybody that got on the voting rolls check no.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they check no, or they don't understand, and
- 32:31Speaker 2: they don't speak English, check no, okay. The problem is
- 32:35Speaker 2: eliminate that factor. And also the Save Act. You have
- 32:39Speaker 2: to show up with a legal ID with your picture
- 32:43Speaker 2: on it.
- 32:43Speaker 1: It ends a lot of these problems. It ends a
- 32:46Speaker 1: lot of these problems. I agree with you, but right
- 32:48Speaker 1: now this is a big story because she opened up
- 32:52Speaker 1: the Pandora's box. All these democrats across the country are
- 32:56Speaker 1: looking at her and saying thanks a lot, because now
- 32:59Speaker 1: there's blow in the water.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Didn't she want to be the center of attention? Didn't
- 33:03Speaker 2: she want to be miss no Ice? She didn't dominate
- 33:07Speaker 2: that as she thought she would outside of Delaney Hall
- 33:09Speaker 2: because others had jumped a queue before her. But now
- 33:14Speaker 2: she is the only one in this bullpen? Know how
- 33:16Speaker 2: about her saying too?
- 33:18Speaker 1: Oh? Well, look that Trump administration wants to weaponize this. No,
- 33:21Speaker 1: you just demitted that there were illegals that voted in
- 33:26Speaker 1: your election. Of course they want to look into this. Now,
- 33:29Speaker 1: haven't you been paying attention? That was the dumbest thing
- 33:33Speaker 1: I have seen by a governor politically in a long
- 33:38Speaker 1: long time. Mikey Chryl, congratulations, you got all the attention
- 33:43Speaker 1: you wanted. It's bad attention, but you got a lot
- 33:46Speaker 1: of attention.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Wherever she goes, she's going to be dogged by this
- 33:50Speaker 2: question up next. Haven't I been out front on this
- 33:54Speaker 2: explosive diarrhea situation that's affected Taco bellfect to tailor the
- 34:01Speaker 2: lettuce that's going in Central Mexico and now has spread
- 34:06Speaker 2: to other parts, but it's not implicating lettuce or taco bell,
- 34:12Speaker 2: So this becomes a bigger and bigger issue.
- 34:16Speaker 1: We'll give you the deep dive up next. Before we
- 34:20Speaker 1: do so, it's eight o'clock in the podcast.
