  Speaker 5: At top of the morning to you. Another Irish sounding lingo,
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: have been Saint Patrick's Day. So we celebrate a man
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: who helped free himself from slavery by using his faith,
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: by using a faith he discovered and that led him
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: out of slavery and to evangelize and to bring so
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: many others into the faith in his native Ireland. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: just we'll tell you the news of the day, aside
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: from Saint Patrick's Day. And if you're already into the Guinness,
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: take it easy, you know, just remember designated driver and
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Irish coffee. I worked there was a guy. You know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: we radio is full of people who you know, go
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: by air names like Cadillac Jack and stuff like that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: And I took over a radio show from such an
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: individual ones And the first monday I was in the studio,
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: guy came up from the liquor store that was in
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: the storefront below the radio station with a box of stuff,
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: including Bailey's. This is this is Cadillac Jack's monthly order.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what, No, get that out of here. It
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: must have been three hundred dollars worth of liquor. I
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: went to the GM and I said, I think you
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: were paying Cadillac Jack better than you were paying me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: And he said, you know, he was giving them that
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: on trade trading liquor. But you know, the Bailey's was there,
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I mean not traditionally an Irish coffee. My dad, my
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: dad knew an Irish coffee and it was a bush
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Mills I think, which is the traditional for an Irish coffee.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: But again it's a little early, don't you think Saint
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Patrick's Day, you know, must be you know, celebrated. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: let's celebrate Saint Patrick's Day for the way Saint Patrick
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: would have celebrated it. Ha, how about that. We'll try
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: that for a little while and see if it sticks.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: But so much to get into. As the tensions over
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: the tensions get worse and President Trump and the West
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: of the rest of the Western nations telling President Trump,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: we don't really need oil. We actually are green lobby
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: really likes it when it costs seven or eight or
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: nine dollars a leater. So I'll tell you the news,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: and then we'll ask you how it's impacting you where
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: you are. Rockets and drones launched at the US Embassy
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: in Baghdad Tuesday from areas around the city. Iraqi security
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: forces say the SRAM air defense system shot down two
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: of them, while a third struck inside the embassy compound.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: The President has been told by his Western allies that
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: they like higher prices for gas. I guess it helps
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: the green lobby in their country because they've all turned
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: away from President Trump's request to help shepherd ships through
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: the Straits of Hormuz. President Trump dismissed a call from
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: his own advisor on cryptocurrency and AI, David Sachs, for
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: looking for an off ramp. I'm not sure how one
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: connects to the other, but that's who David Sachs is.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: He said, we should try to find an off ramp.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: This is a good time to declare victory and get out.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: The communications channel between US Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi has been reactivated over the recent days.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Axios reports on Monday, citing a US official with knowledge
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: of the matter, Arachi said, I haven't talked to Witcoff
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: in a long time. That's a deception. Federal judge Monday
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: blocked the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: the number of vaccines recommended for every child, and said
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Robert F. Kennedy Junior's administration likely violated federal procedures. You
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: don't want to do that in revamping key vaccine advisory committees.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: It's a temporary restraining order, which, unlike in Virginia, actually
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: means something to this court. Twice on Monday, President Trump
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: said he'd wrangled a confession of sorts from an Oval
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Office predecessor, who he said told him privately that he
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: expressed regret that he had not taken action against Iran.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Trump said it was as if they rued the fact
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: that they had just left the problem fester. He wouldn't
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: name the former president because he said, quote, I don't
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: want to embarrass him, although staffers who work for the
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: four living former presidents have all denied any such conversation
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: took place recently, and two Iranian women's soccer players have
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: been granted asylum in Australia. Have been practicing with one
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: of the top professional teams there just to stay in
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: shape after Iran was knocked out of the Women's Asian Cup,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: and those are our first thing. Next week we are
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: headed to Dallas. As a matter of fact, we'll be
• 6:05

• 7:05
  Speaker 6: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.

• 13:17
  Speaker 5: You don't have val.
• 13:21
  Speaker 15: We don't have homosexuals like my trig is. We don't
• 13:26
  Speaker 15: have that in our craft.
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: You don't need to.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: You know, we played that club so many times, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: you know, anything anything is like a life raft to
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: keep me from getting dragged into the conversation about Jimmy
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: Kimmel and the Oscars, probably two dozen emails, well, especially
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: during yesterday, is the height of yesterday's program. What do
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: you have anything to say about the Oscars? What Jimmy
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Kimmel said something bad about Donald Trump film mid eleven?
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Hold it, hold it, Conan O'Brien, you know, made a
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: bad joke about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump film at eleven.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: I mean I stopped watching the Oscars the day they
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: eviscerated David Letterman for the way he treated the Hollywood elites,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: and the and the the hue and cry of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Hollywood elites over how David Letterman had embarrassed them and
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: this was their night to celebrate each other. Then don't
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: ask me to watch it. Yeah, in any event, I had,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: I had no interest in watching him, and nor do
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I have any interest in discussing them. If you do,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: that's on you. Four three four eight eight two four
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: two one seven. As I said, Jimmy Kimmel had something
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: bad to say about Donald Trump, that's news making. But
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: this the a subtextual story about whether mushtebah Kameni or
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: as we like to call him here, Ayatola Junior is
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: looking for seventy two virgins of the male persuasion instead
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: of the other way around. You just I had to
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: go back and get that classic clip of Mahmud Ahmadinijad,
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: who for many years was the President Iran, talking to
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the students at Columbia University in New York because he
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: was teaching them radical Islam. There he was holding a
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: seminar radical Islam and how to kill Jews or that
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: wasn't what he was there to do. Oh, sounded like it,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: but he said.
• 15:43
  Speaker 20: You don't Iran, we don't have homosexuals like maitrig.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: I love the awkward laughter in there. What was he is?
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: He mean? Apparently he was what's the word we use
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: here in America?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Wrong as the word? I believe that they use it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: If Donald Trump had made a gaff like that, boy,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: the press would be all over it. But you know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: we're told that that's irrelevant whether the you know, whether
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Ayatola Junior wants seventy two boy virgins or girl virgins. Uh,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: when he finally, you know, goes to meet the spirit
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: in the sky is irrelevant, We're told. I'm told it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: just not a relevancy there, but you decide what's relevant.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: At four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: I have my arbitrage. You can share your thoughts as well.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: But our friends at the jcsgold dot com they have
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: a simple mission help you navigate the stormy waters of
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: gold and silver investing. There was a sale on gold
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and silver yesterday morning. Let's see if that continues into
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: today with James Luck, fourth generation family business at jcsgold
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: dot com. Good morning, James, how are you, sir?
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: I'm doing well, Joe. And you know, just as a
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: disclaimer to everybody out there, I definitely do not know
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: the price direction of gold and silver. We really are
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: in crazy times.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: And the reason why I say that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: Is because today gold is back above five thousand dollars.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: It's just above even at five thousand and seven dollars.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: Silver is technically down a third of a percent, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: it's at eighty dollars and fifty four cents. So you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: yesterday morning, when when I'm saying, you know, the clients
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: are buying the dip and taking it into the discount,
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: and you know we're below five thousand and below eighty
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: and then here we are twenty four hours later and
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: we've popped right back above. So it really is incredible
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: how how this price action these days with golden silver
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: is working out.
• 17:50
  Speaker 15: Well.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's see to me, your expertise is not
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: knowing what's coming. It's knowing what to do when what's
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: coming arrived. And that's that's what I always look for.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: And I know there are people who are like, there,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: you didn't see this coming. I don't expect people to
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: see things coming. I expect them to be able to
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: deal with what comes when it comes. And I think
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: for generations has taught your family that hasn't they?
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: James absolutely, and and that's why you know, our strategy
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: is very simple, and that is just to stack gold
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: and silver over time, you know, to cut down on
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: the noise and not to worry about all the little,
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: you know, ups and downs of the roller coaster. But
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: when when your budget allows and you can get your
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: allotment of gold and silver, then you you add to
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: your stack, and you keep stacking it up over time,
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: and then sometimes you're gonna get a better deal, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: sometimes you're gonna pay a little higher price, but you're
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: gonna cost the average over that time, and you're gonna
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: build a portfolio in physical gold and silver.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: And that's the important thing now. And that's why you
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: need to call a family business. And it's not a
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: call center. People aren't out there working on commissions, trying
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: to upsell or anything. They want you to have a
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: great career and also bend into the new mismatic community
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: of coin and coinage collection, because it's one thing to
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: just have a stack of gold bars. I mean, that's
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: kind of it has some impressiveness in and of itself.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: But you know, just neat coin collection collections gold silver

  Speaker 5: and that ilk is terrific as well, and they can
• 19:31

• 19:53
  Speaker 5: like a singer for a hairband is at what ninety
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: five dollars eighty five cent? Uh there for a barrel
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: of oil? I said this yesterday. Oh, on the subject
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: of is he or isn't he? Charles Charles writes in
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: if fat, gay and stupid is no way to go
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: through life, son, and and he sends me three articles yesterday.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: He sent me the one that apparently Iranians are sitting
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: there saying that Dad didn't want this much to Bob
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Kameny is starting to sound like Iran's version of w
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: You know, apparently Kameni Senior thought his son was a rube,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: too dumb to run the country. And uh and and
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I M all the things that they're saying about most
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: of bah Kameni Ayatola Junior are sounding very much like
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: the stuff I used to say about w back in
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the late nineties. That's a George W. Bush. He was
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: president for a couple of terms. And who's the dumb one?
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: He got re elected? Dad didn't. Dad lost to Bill Clinton,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: who's too busy looking for interns campaign. But he sends
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: me this Washington Post story. I saw it. I didn't again.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: You know, I sometimes go where you send me. It's
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: like Gold and Silver investing, you know, you ride the wave.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: President Trump was stunned to learn that US intelligence indicates
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: that Supreme Leader mush to Bahamani may be homosexual, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: that his father, the late Ayahtola Ali, feared his suitability
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, which is funny.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I guess if you're part of the Ayahtola's family, you
• 21:53

  Speaker 5: to this program. A couple of emails, but I want
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: to jump into breaking news out of the conflict, the bombings,
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: if you will, conflict being you know, sort of like
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: what they used to call Mike Tyson fights. But latest
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: from Iran Israeli security leadership Israel Katz Defense Minister reporting
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: that Ali Larijani and General golum Reza Solimani were quote
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: eliminated last night. The top security official and the head
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: of the Revolutionary Guard Bashi Militia, Ali Larijani, who you've seen,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: you know they've done. You know, there probably will be
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: a tribute at some point on ABC. He was one
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: of their regular contributors there. And then golum Raisa Soliamani
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: killed in overnight raids. According to the Israeli Defense Minister
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Israel Katz, Iranian media did not immediately confirm their death. However,
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: it set in a message from Larajani's office or a
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: message from Larazani's office. The Security Directorate would have a
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: message later for that the announcement is coming after a
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: wide scale wave of strikes. According to the Israeli Defense
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Minister during the night, Larajani is, pardon me, like the
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Iranian We were comparing Iatola Junior to w in terms
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: of the fact that Dad didn't think a lot of
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: his acumen and taught him to be a bit of adult.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: But Larajani is like the Iranian version of a Kennedy
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: from very well connected political family for generations. Speaker of
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: the Iranian Parliament, Policy advisor was one of the truly
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: insiders to Iotola Senior and led many of the nuclear
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: talks with the Trump administration. He's the secretary, it was,
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: was the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. What
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: happens if you've worked in any sort of hierarchy, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: I don't care where it is, there's a hierarchy. So
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: if you're even if you're the second baker in the line.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: If the main baker isn't there, you got to whip
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: the scones up, don't you. You've got to move up.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: What is that conversation like right now in Tehran? You know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: guys there working on his paperwork. Because bureaucracies are international.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Bureaucracy is almost like a global language. So there's some
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: second in command. Maybe he's got a little career thing
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: going on. He watches the Iranian translations of House of Cards,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: thinking of ways he could move up in rank, and
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden would the director has been killed
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: in a missile strike. You're the director, now brief the
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: iatola by zoom link to his Russian hospital in fifteen minutes.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: By the way, if you feel if you feel anything
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: warm coming down on.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: You, duck.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: US treasury less. Soliomani Is, having been born in nineteen
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: sixty five, had been sanctioned by the US and European
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Union for his role in suppressing descent for years through
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: his role leading the secret police in the Iran So
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: that's the latest from the battle front. As a more
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: high ranking leadership has what's the phrase they used to use,
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: assumed room temperature. I mean the parts that remain I'm
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: sure are still warm, but rapidly approaching room temperature. There
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: and again, the directorate is what President Trump keeps pointing
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: to and saying, listen, the leadership of this theocracy is
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: coming apart. It's time to stand up. And I go
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: back to the email. We received an email a great
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: dear friend of the program Ray questioning our position that
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: you know, we sort of broke it by helping I
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: six depose Mozada in nineteen fifty six. Was it because
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: the Prime Minister at the time was a nationalist socialist
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: wanted Britain out of Iran and there were things to
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: to this, And a couple of people emailailed me after
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: the conversation because the two emails I tied together raise
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: email about why was it wrong to help m I
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: six depose this guy because he was a Marxist who
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: probably would have wound up getting in behind the iron curtain.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: And at first I say, well, you know what, to me,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: the best way of fighting communism is out in the open,
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: and we battled communism for most of my adult life
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: by trying to drag it out into the sunlight so
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: everyone could see it. But in the discussion I think
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: it was a text message came in saying, oh my goodness,
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: the thought of the Soviet Union having an oil rich
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: nation behind the Iron Curtain with it could have added
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: twenty to forty years to the Cold War. And it
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: hadn't struck me that way that allowing or support the
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: idea of Communism taking over Iran would have been geopolitically
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: a whole different light in the Cold War, because one
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: of the ways we bankrupted the Soviet Union was we
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: had energy resources they did not. They do now. The
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: technology has changed and hydraulic fracturing and the natural gas
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: that they can get. Russia has way more natural resources
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: in terms of energy generation now than they used to
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: during the Cold War. And it does strike that if
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: they had a country like Iran, and who knows who
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: follows Iran behind the Iron Curtain at that point as well,
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: it was an interesting point that I hadn't because I
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: believe in fighting communism by dragging it out into the sunlight.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: But giving the Soviet Union, or you know, standing by
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: and doing nothing as the Soviet Union gobbled up an
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: oil rich nation, that could have been a real ugly
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: turn in the in the Cold War. But as this
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: directorate in Tehran continues to find themselves on the business
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: end of incoming Israeli missiles. The people need to stand up.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: And you know, the Marxists in Paris, Mariam Rajavi or
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: the king in exile, Resa Palavi both don't necessarily jibe
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: with my way of thinking. We'll be with Reza Palavi
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: next week.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: At Sea Pack.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: He's coming there there living in the United States. And Rajavi,
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: the prime the leader of this shadow government, she lives
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: in Paris. If you live in Paris, you're probably going hi.

• 39:04
  Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:42

  Speaker 26: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack, and it's always a boy. Growing

  Speaker 26: best friends the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets

• 44:20
  Speaker 5: Thomas So's email, Janice writes in, No, she didn't write
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: that in because if she could look into my eyes,
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: that's really not how radio is supposed to work. Janice writes,
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: in with this question, I think it's an appropriate one
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: as we report on more high level Iranian officials killed,
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: She writes, Joe, how are we supposed to win the
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: hearts and minds of Iranians if we keep killing their leaders?
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: What would our reaction in this country be if Pete
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Hegseith was killed in a missile strike, or if the
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: Joint chiefs were all taken out in a missile strike,
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: or the president was assassinated. Well, all right, and here's
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: the thing, and this is a danger, Janis. You highlight
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: a real danger in what has happened in the calcification
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: of America. And we brought up Kennedy a little earlier,
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: so I'm going to harken back.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: To Kennedy that.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: One of the reasons, let me bring a secondary exemplar in.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: One of the reasons American soldiers in the American military
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: does really well on the battlefield is the idea of
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: next man up. So if you if you kill an
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Iranian general, his division might go Caddy wampus because nobody
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: else is trusted with the decision making. It's that that
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: very top heavy autocracy. The general is the only one
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: that makes the commands and he's chosen by the Ayatola,
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: who is chosen by God. So the rest of you
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: just do what you're told and if you lose, the
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: guy who tells you what to do, and in many
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: cases these are not necessarily people who were there willingly.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: So that's part of it. We have had president after
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: president after president. They come and to go, and they
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: come and to go new elections, new elections. But we
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: have to and this is a subtext of this polarization,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: and it's all about Barack Obama. It's all about Donald Trump.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: And by the way, no, I don't know what Barack
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Obama's unfinished business is that he tweeted out the other day,
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: but it probably has something to do with Eric Holder
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: and his campaign to get everything redistricted. But we have
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: created these celebrity leaders. And if you're Barack Obama, if
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: something weren't happened to Barack Obama, half the country would
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: go absolutely ape guano over it. The same thing with
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump. But the country as as a concept isn't
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: supposed to be so fragile that the Office of the
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: President has rules under or which it operates as the
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: Office of Congress and the Office of Supreme Court. And
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: that's just at the federal level. We had flexibility built
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: into it so that if something happened to the US president,
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: as it has happened many times in the past, the
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: presidency continues, you don't cripple the United States, or you
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be able to cripple the United States by killing
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: one person. You go to a theocracy like Iran, yeah,
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: you kill the Ayatola and then they appoint Ayatola junior,
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: And personally, I think they did it so they can
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: claim another one of their dear leaders was killed in
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: the United States. Israeli strikes they didn't want, and they
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: figured he's never actually going to govern the country. He's
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: already grievously injured and Russian healthcare system will do what
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: the Russian healthcare system has done for Soviet premiers all along,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: you know, take a sick person in and return the
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: corpse for their funeral, and then they'll claim, oh, look,
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: the Americans and the Israelis have killed another one of
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: our dear leaders. And someone else will call the shots.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: And there's a hierarchy, and it's it's fragile because when
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: you have leaders and followers, if you take out the leader,
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: then the followers have their rudderless and we have to
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: be flexible. And the United States was always better at that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: You can argue that Lyndon Johnson ascending to the presidency
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: was a pretty bad day for the United States because
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: he brings on the Great Society and the American style Marxism.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: But the fact remains that the process was there and
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: a Bible was found on Air Force one, and there
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: he was standing with Jackie Kennedy taking the oath of office.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: Even though after the most horrific thing that could happen
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: in anyone's life, the president was shot and live television.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: We hadn't had it happen in sixty years, sixty almost
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: sixty two years since a president had been killed in office,
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: so conceptually we couldn't even think of such a thing.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: But the idea is that whether it's an election or
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: the impact of one person on the entirety of life
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: in the United States should not be this severe. And
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: the fact that Donald Trump can come in and have
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: such an impact is actually more of a a proof
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: to this axiom than it is the outlier, because he's
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: come in after ten years of authoritarianism and perhaps even
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: a toolkit laid out by George W. Bush and Dick
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: Cheney after the terrorist attacks, creating this authoritarian presidency that
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Barack Obama used to see the Tea Party targeting through
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: the IRS and Merit Garland and his investigations into parents
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: at school board meetings, And it is a dangerous place. Janis,
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: you bring up a dangerous point that America has grown
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: too much like these European crowned duchies, that if the
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: dear leader somehow is removed, the whole thing comes apart.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: Do you think the West Wing under Susie Wiles is
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: coming apart because she's going to be battling cancer. No,
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: if there's a reason Trump too has done so much
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: in a year and a few months. It's because Susie
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: Wiles has a structure that operates whether she says go
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: or not. It comes through her. It's at her direction.
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: But if she needs to take time off for chemotherapy,
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: treatment or radiation, that the west wing is going to
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: continue to operate at her behest because she's developed the structure.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: That's the difference between Iran and us.
