610 CKTB | Ayatollah: Tehran’s “Weekend at Bernie’s” meets Jurassic Park · Kvetch & Release

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Another great storyteller here in the show We Love Them.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: John Litkey is popping by again this morning. Good morning,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Gene. I always love it when I get
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: your emails and you say, here's what I got for
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you this morning and the headline is absent Ayatola kay
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: RAN's weekend at Bernie's meets Jurassic Park. Now you know
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what the price of gas is going up and up
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on the early and late editions of Vleitis on the news.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: The first thing I do is tell you the price
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of gas in the Niagara region when you should go
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to a gas station, when you should stay away. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we did it again this morning. So it's all about
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: gas and diesels. So explain from your perspective what is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: happening in a brand? Is there a new leader?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: You know the mystery? Right now, Gene is reaching a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: breaking point. We're nearly a month into this war that
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: has essentially erased the entire top tier of Iranian leadership
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and continues onto the second tier. Yet the IRGC is
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: still pretending like the lights are on. From last year's
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: midnight hammer strikes in June that crippled the nuke program
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to this year's at the fury hits. The US is
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: using the full weight of the military to impose their will.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, here's the thing, we don't know who's running Iran.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: The US killed the Supreme Leader last month, and we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: haven't exactly met the new guy. We can't even say
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: new boss same as the old boss, because the new
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: boss might be an AI deep fake video. He hasn't
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: been seen in public since before attaining this new Iatola ship,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if that's the right word and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: if there is one. And the only evidence he's alive
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: right now is a recently released video which could be
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: as I said, AI or from months or years ago.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: We just don't know.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, So you're calling this the cover up.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it seems a little bit like a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: cover up. And it's again, as I said, like Jurassic Park,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: like John Hammond, the doomed creator of Jurassic Park. The
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Iranian regime spared no expense, but they spent it all
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on the fences, not the foundation. They put two trillion
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: dollars into the paddock that is global terror, while the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: geological ground beneath their feet is rotting.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: In the park.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: The dinosaurs didn't escape, They started to eat each other,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and we're seeing that happening right now between the old
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: guard clerics and the new breed tech commanders of the IRGC.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: While the iotol is waiting for a miracle here, the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: mid level kernels are busy digitizing they're stolen assets in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the BNARO and looking for the nearest exits to get
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to Turkey. Defences just aren't down. It's beyond that the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: raptors realize that the Alpha is just a man behind
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a curtain with a megaphone and a failing heart.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I love how you always draw analogies between real life
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: events and movies.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: So tell me how is this like? We can debt Bernie's.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Well, much like how Larry and Richard were frantically figuring
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: out how to prop up their dead boss and weekend
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: at Bernie's to keep the party going at the beach,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the IRGC is propping up their Bernie leader right now.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: While the predators have finally realized the fences are down,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the IRGC is attempting to mask the rumored death or
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: disfigurement of the new Iotola by releasing that AI or
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: old proof of life video that forensic analysts have largely
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: debunked as a digital facade, and just a couple days
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: ago though, that came out. And so they're trying to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: look tough. But you can't fight a war with a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: leader who's being held up by a kickstand. And that's
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: what happens right now, is they're propping out cardboard cutouts
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of the guy and praising them.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Now, in spite of what President Trump is saying, Iran
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is still lashing out. You know, we talked to Adam
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Zievo every day and I've lost track of how many
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: number of times we've talked to him when he has
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: been either a rushing to a bomb shelter or we
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: talked to him from a bomb shelter. It sure does
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it sound like the regime and Iran is giving up,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and in fact, it sounds as if they haven't weakened
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, they've lost their entire top tier of leadership,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: most of their military capabilities have been taken out, most
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of their missiles have but that doesn't mean that there's
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: not still the ability for them to fight back. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: what this is is an asymmetric stayance geen. They're trying
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to govern and through the digital son of the digital
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: ghost of a son, and the bloody legacy of a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: forty five Your terrors free. But look at the irony
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of this. All. The regime that claims to be the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: shield of Islam. Just this past weekend rained ballistic missiles
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: down on the Old City of Jerusalem. Fragments fell within
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a quarter mile of the Alosa Mosque that's the third
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: most holy site in Islam. These aren't the actions of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a state steward of religion. They've set up an involuntary sator.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know how familiar you are with Passover, but
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they've set up an involuntary Satya for the whole country.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: They're waiting for the ghost of a leader who's never
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: going to show up, like Aliah who does at Jewish
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Passover sators. While they're blowing up their own holy sites
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: out of spite. They've gone from a supreme leader to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: an ayatola ALIAHU the door is open, but he's not
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: showing up for either night of Passover.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Now, while this is all going on, the President of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the United States is sending troops and everybody is talking
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about the possibility of troops on the ground. So what
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is the status of these marines and they want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: be they want to be on this island, and the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: ships still aren't getting getting through. So I mean, what's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: really happening.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: If they take the island of card that is the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: ultimate foreclosure gene. The thirty first Marine Expeditionary Unit is
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: just sitting off the island right now, and that terminal
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: handles ninety percent of Iran's oil. If they take it,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: they're effectively seizing the regime's only remaining bank account. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it's beyond just being an ATM, that is their iron lung.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Without the tankers being able to move, the IRGC can't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: even afford the fuel for the generators that keep the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: AI programs going they're using, and the math is actually
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: quite haunting. The real right now has hit one point
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: six million to the US dollar. A couple days ago.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They've started to print ten million real notes right now.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It's essentially the most expensive wallpaper that's ever been made,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: far beyond that of the Weimar Republic, far beyond that
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: of what happened when the Islamic Republic took over in
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the revolution in seventy nine. So the Iran's propping up
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the animatronic eyetola they have right now while their assets
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: are being liquidated by the US military at.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: The the hest of the EXECUS.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Now, you've mentioned in the past the city of Tehran
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is actually sinking. Now do you mean that like literally?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, Jurassic Park is failing gene. Tehran is
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: sinking by a foot every year because underneath it is
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: old aquifers that they have pumped and completely dry. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: we're talking about land subsidence here. Imagine trying to run
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a war while your subway tracks are warping or your
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: apartment buildings are cracking in half because the dirt underneath
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: them is being imploded. This is day zero. This is
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the point where the taps go dry for good. They're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: looking for a new place to move the regime. And
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that was before the capitol, and that was before the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: war started. So while the IRGC is staging rallies for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a cardboard leader, Chicken Little is correct. The sky is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: literally falling right now. Black rain in Tehran is falling
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: out of the sky. That's a toxicot from the bombed
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: out fuel deepots falling back as acid. And the Iranian
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: people aren't waiting for a profit. They just want the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: guys holding the cardboard cutout to run at ammunition before
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the real predators break out of the paddock.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think the United States underestimated rent?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I think that they thought things would go a lot
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: quicker and that Iran wouldn't actually pulled the trigger on
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: blocking this strait of horror moves, or that they would
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: have had maybe more support to be able to get
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: over it. But look, Trump has learned a very good
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: lesson right now and what the values of hard power
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and what the values of soft power is. But right now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this is a classic asymmetric exit. Trump's looking for the door,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: but the IRGC replaced the door with a brick wall
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: of impossible conditions. They've put out six or five six
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: conditions that are like a Poligio political hell Mary. They
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: want guarantees that the war won't be repeated. They want
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: every US military beast based in the region to be closed,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: never going to happen. And they want reparations. They're holding
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: out their hat for a check after they started the war.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: They want America to pay for the very infrastructure that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: America just dismantled. This is like the joke from Liar
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Liar when a burglar sued the homeowner for medical bills
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: when he got hurt breaking through the window. Jim Carrey
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: responds to his assistant, who asks incredulously what he would
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: do as a lawyer in that situation. Jim Carrey responds, deadpan,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I'd have got him more money.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, kidding.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: You know, when you take a look at what's happening,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me a little bit of a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: school yard. President Trump says, we're negotiating with a Ran,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and Iran says, no, we're not.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yes we are. No we're not.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yes we are, No, we're not. I don't think anybody
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: even knows, no, really, what's going on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think anyone knows what's going on either.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And this is the cognitive dissonance that's at the heart
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of it. Right now. Geane Trump is signaling he's bored
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: with the war, he wants out, but he's also issuing
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the most violent ultimatums. He's trying to tamper it down
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: with a sledgehammer. The IRGC wants the war to continue,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: because the moment the shooting stops, the people of Iran,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: who don't already realize it, will realize that the Supreme
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Leader is a cardboard cutout and the country is sinking
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: into the soil. For the regime, the perpetual war is
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: their only life support. They'd rather rule over a black
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and lightless ruin than face a piece where they have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to explain where'd the water go?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, the price of gas continue to go
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: up here in the Niagara region. It's not too bad today,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it's up slightly, and it's going to be coming down tomorrow.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But in the end, what's the final word on this one, John? Well?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: The new day will be arriving soon. But so far
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the groundhog hasn't come up and seen his shadow, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: mostly probably because he's made of corrugated paper and afraid
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: of hell fire raining down in the form of Tomahawk missiles.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: This weekend at Bernie shtick is failing, as the guests
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: are questioning, Hey, is that guy actually dead? The gates
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: of Jurassic Park have been breached, the raptors are approaching.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: All the vhss in this metaphor are unspooling gene and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: there's not enough Blockbuster rewinders to put it back together.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: All right, great job this morning, John Trude. You appreciate it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time, and we'll talk to.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: You next Tuesday morning.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Sounds great.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: There he goes John Letke, one of the great storytellers
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in the show.
