Transcript
- 0:0054321. Welcome back to Two Mike's Rome with
- 0:03Dr. Mike Shory, New York Times bestselling author.
- 0:06And Colonel Mike. We're so happy to have
- 0:09one of our good friends back with us.
- 0:11He's been with us since the days of
- 0:13radio. I don't know if it was Charlie
- 0:14Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, or the Three Stooges.
- 0:17It was goes back before, but we got
- 0:19Tommy DeSabla back with us. He's a uh
- 0:22Metro DC guy, you know, had the radio
- 0:25station. Uh, he had the show on the
- 0:27radio station before WMAO was popular.
- 0:31He was doing conservative talk radio. And if
- 0:34you don't know who Tommy DeSabler is or
- 0:37was, or what show he had,
- 0:40I can tell you one thing. I used
- 0:42to call in all the time. He was
- 0:44on AM, and he's the only guy that
- 0:47told, what was her name? I'm trying to
- 0:50think of a minute. Um, I think you
- 0:52always talk about Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter, Fred
- 0:56Coulter's niece, but she's not related. Ann Coulter,
- 0:59who
- 1:01Tommy said, get off my show. I loved
- 1:04it. That was the best show you did,
- 1:05Tom.
- 1:09Welcome, Mr. Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning. Yes,
- 1:12good morning. So let's start it up. You
- 1:14and Mike start talking. I'm gonna make another
- 1:16cup of coffee while you're talking. Go ahead.
- 1:20Well, uh, you know, Dr. Mike, um,
- 1:24good morning to you.
- 1:27Good morning, sir. Michael, you're there. There he
- 1:29is. Gotta wake him up. He usually has
- 1:31two cups by him. Go ahead. Well, I
- 1:34just I was telling you about this, um,
- 1:37about this, you know, me going for a
- 1:38blast from the past. I'm like, okay, Iran,
- 1:41you know, uh Timmerman, uh, as I say,
- 1:45uh, you know, a big neocon. And and
- 1:48they say people say, well, Iran's we've been
- 1:50hearing about Iran wanting to go nuclear for
- 1:5220 years. But it's true
- 1:56that
- 1:58we've been hearing that for 20 years. Um,
- 2:01you know, because here I have uh who's
- 2:04this guy? Um, someone's answering Timmerman
- 2:08back in uh the pages of the Washington
- 2:10Times, um, let's see, published November
- 2:1326th, 2006. So that
- 2:16is literally almost 20 years ago.
- 2:20Where we have these neocons talking about Iran,
- 2:23you know, and this person who's responding
- 2:26says, Well, you know, look, um
- 2:29Timmerman wants us to do what? Go to
- 2:32war, bomb the hundreds of centrifuge sites, just
- 2:35a few to send a message. Any of
- 2:38these could mean the end of the economic
- 2:41world as we spoiled Americans currently know it.
- 2:44How we would be daring and begging the
- 2:47Iranians to block the Strait of Ormuz.
- 2:51It is their front yard. Such a tactic
- 2:53would be justified, and a military no-brainer would
- 2:56disrupt the economies of all nations, oil prices
- 2:59would skyrocket, causing a shock to our energy-dependent
- 3:02economy. We can't afford any new wars
- 3:05right now. So, whose words do you
- 3:09suppose those are, Dr. Mike? I don't know,
- 3:12sir.
- 3:13Well, mine, of course. Okay, well, good for
- 3:16you. Anyway right then, you're right now. Well,
- 3:20who cares if Iran has a nuclear weapon?
- 3:23That's Israel's problem. Well, you know, it's funny
- 3:26that you say that because as I read
- 3:29on in my uh response to Timmerman,
- 3:33um
- 3:34it said Iranian nukes are unacceptable because of
- 3:37Israel. Some Iranian leaders have said they would
- 3:39like to see Israel wiped off the map.
- 3:41Do these statements mean alone that we should
- 3:43attack Iran? No. If anyone should do so,
- 3:45it should be Israel.
- 3:49You know, uh, and what did I say
- 3:50next? Iranian nuclear threat to Israel's over Israel
- 3:53is overblown for at least two reasons. One,
- 3:56any attack would be traced back to the
- 3:58source. I mean, we know this from our
- 3:59Tom Clancy. I mean, they can look at
- 4:02any type of fallout and they can identify
- 4:04exactly where that uh nuclear material
- 4:08came from. Uh it's traceable because of the
- 4:11like the radiation signatures. And then, you know,
- 4:14if attack was deadly enough to destroy Israel,
- 4:17the Holy Land would be uninhabitable or inhabitable.
- 4:20There's no benefit for Iran. I don't believe
- 4:22there's ever been a benefit for them, and
- 4:24I think they're just posturing for the media.
- 4:26So, this is what I'm saying back then.
- 4:29And I said back then, the only answer
- 4:31is to accept Iran's sovereign authority over its
- 4:34nuclear program and emphasize deterrence to ward
- 4:37off aggression. Yeah, that's that's so crazy.
- 4:41They have made a uh uh uh kind
- 4:43of a passion about Iran, and yet
- 4:46Americans go to sleep every night and and
- 4:50uh uh are under threat constantly
- 4:53from uh Soviet or Russian and
- 4:56Chinese missiles. And we're we're smart enough to
- 5:00not go after that.
- 5:02Um
- 5:04Iran it it's uh it's simply a matter
- 5:07of being owned by the Israelis.
- 5:11That's all it is.
- 5:14The Iranians have a better culture than the
- 5:16Israelis, they probably could have a better economy.
- 5:19They're they're they're in their own way as
- 5:22ridiculously uh religious as the Israelis
- 5:25claim to be.
- 5:27Um
- 5:28to me, it is uh
- 5:31an absolute non-American interest.
- 5:35It is, you know, talk talk at the
- 5:37UN once a year and say, you know,
- 5:39it'd be good if you follow the no
- 5:41no non proliferation, whatever it is. But
- 5:45my God, they're 90 million people. They have
- 5:48the Israelis drumming up hate hatred forum all
- 5:51over the world. Um for a long time,
- 5:54they had complete support from all of Europe
- 5:56and the United States. And and what do
- 5:59you think they're gonna do? I mean, at
- 6:02the end of the day, they're only human
- 6:03beings. You get threatened long enough and you
- 6:06take action to to um deter that.
- 6:10You know, and it's funny because I would
- 6:13feel like if I was advising them, I'd
- 6:16say, what do you what are you waiting
- 6:17for? You know, do it already, you know.
- 6:20But they apparently we discover that
- 6:24this guy, the Issa Kameini, not not of
- 6:27course the old Khomeini, but the Khamenei,
- 6:30uh, we find out that he didn't want
- 6:33them to have nukes. Well, somebody that he
- 6:35had a fatwa that Iran didn't should not
- 6:38have nuclear weapons. Well, that's news to me.
- 6:40Nobody told me that one, Dr. Mike. No,
- 6:43I I didn't know that either. I read
- 6:45about it, guys. I read about it, and
- 6:47really, to be honest with you, the fatwa
- 6:49is from Israel to to Iran. That's where
- 6:52the fatwa is, okay.
- 6:56Israel is not going to be happy until
- 6:58it's wiped out.
- 7:00They want everyone destabilized, don't they? They want
- 7:03all every country that's near them, they don't
- 7:06want anybody to have their act together. Because
- 7:08if you have your act together, you could
- 7:10mount opposition. And so they want everyone
- 7:12destabilized that's in there, that's near them. I
- 7:15think the key is to to um destroy
- 7:18the Iranians because they're the they're the power
- 7:21in the in the region. Uh they're the
- 7:23wealthiest in in many ways, uh, in terms
- 7:26of human ac human capital and energy and
- 7:29other things. Then they can go ahead and
- 7:32and kill the rest of the Arabs and
- 7:34Muslims. Out to all the way out to
- 7:37Saudi Arabia, and then they have their Greater
- 7:39Israel thing.
- 7:41Yeah, either either be their friend or they're
- 7:44gonna get us to uh help destabilize and
- 7:47try to destroy. But um, this uh one
- 7:50of the reasons why I posted on X,
- 7:52and by the way, you uh I guess
- 7:54uh maybe I should pump my ex a
- 7:56little bit, uh, at Tom DeSabla on X.
- 7:59So you know, I I am
- 8:02posting regularly. Um, you know, people are rage
- 8:05baiting me and I'm I'm responding. I probably
- 8:08shouldn't. But look, people don't
- 8:11understand that we, when this whole thing started,
- 8:14we mounted the regime change operation. We
- 8:18did it. We we keep hearing Mark Levin
- 8:20and all these clowns talking about arming Iran,
- 8:23the Iranian people. We did this. This was
- 8:26what the protests were. You know, the protests
- 8:29were, and the whole thing was a setup.
- 8:31First, Bessent manipulated, uh acted through the
- 8:34currency markets to to destroy their currency market.
- 8:37Thank you. I was hoping you come in
- 8:38with the money story. Yeah, well, he first
- 8:41bescent did his thing because he's a because
- 8:43he's a freaking neocon. So he he went
- 8:46ahead and uh the treasury now. I don't
- 8:49even understand our treasury department. I know I'm
- 8:51digressing, but it's like since when is our
- 8:53treasury department now supposed to be experts in
- 8:55foreign policy? Where the hell did this come
- 8:58from?
- 9:00Because Rubio
- 9:03is the Secretary of State. He needs
- 9:06Jarrett, Bessner, he needs Mark Levin,
- 9:09he needs Glenn Beck, because Rubio can
- 9:13only come out and say, you know, we
- 9:15have to bomb the shit out of them
- 9:17or just take their oil or something. I
- 9:19don't know. So Bessent comes out
- 9:22and destabilizes their currency, uses the power of
- 9:24the U.S. Treasury and uh OFAC and all
- 9:27that to destabilize their currency. He admitted that.
- 9:30So let's just look at what's admitted. Then
- 9:32we have Mossad and Israel admitting
- 9:36uh that they sent operatives in there. And
- 9:39of course, we already have people in there,
- 9:41dissidents that we pay, that we bankroll. So
- 9:45we have people in there, uh, so then
- 9:47they have a pretext to protest. All right,
- 9:49so then Trump admitted, again admitted, that he
- 9:53sent in weapons. Now he tried to cover
- 9:55that by saying that the Kurds stole the
- 9:58weapons. Now that was damage control. Kurds didn't
- 10:01steal nothing. He sent in the weapons and
- 10:03they used them. And they were shooting and
- 10:05they were killing Iranian policemen at these protests.
- 10:08They were literally doing the whole let's cause
- 10:11murder and mayhem thing. And then how were
- 10:14they talking to each other? Oh, we have
- 10:16another admission. Elon Musk admitted that
- 10:19they sent in Starlink systems because apparently
- 10:23our satellites are basically for taking pictures, but
- 10:26Starlink is for talking to people, for people
- 10:29to communicate. So we sent in Starlink systems,
- 10:32and that's how the protesters were communicating
- 10:35with each other. So everything was going along
- 10:38pretty decently or horribly, depending on from
- 10:41whose perspective you want to look at it.
- 10:43But then enter the wild cards, the Russians.
- 10:47The Russians are like, yeah, let uh Iran,
- 10:51let me let us explain to you how
- 10:53you jam Starlink. So they jammed
- 10:56Starlink, the protesters, uh, activists,
- 11:00murderers couldn't talk to each other anymore. And
- 11:02that's what shut the whole thing down. So
- 11:05then, once that happened, then we had to
- 11:07do damage control. So basically, Iran's like, yeah,
- 11:10this was really bad, it was horrible. We
- 11:12lost 3,000 people died. So then our
- 11:16NGOs got involved and were like, 3,000, huh?
- 11:19Well, uh, we're gonna do a little because
- 11:21since, of course, Iran lies about everything, we're
- 11:23gonna do an extrapolation, uh
- 11:26statistical extrapolation and say that, well, since you
- 11:30said it was 3,000, we're gonna multiply that
- 11:32by a factor of 10 and call it
- 11:3430,000. So that's where the original
- 11:3730,000 figure came up was a pure extrapolation.
- 11:40Then of course, people can't, that's not good
- 11:43enough. So now you hear that people are
- 11:46starting to tack on the numbers. It's first
- 11:48it was 40, then it's 50, now it's
- 11:5160. I mean, they they're just jacking
- 11:54it up to just astronomical, made-up
- 11:57numbers. And the whole thing was a regime
- 12:00change operation that failed. Now that's funny is
- 12:04that everybody's in denial. They're like, oh, well,
- 12:07arm the Iranians, and Levin is like, arm
- 12:09these people. It's like, you dumb doofus, they
- 12:13did it already. We tried it, it didn't
- 12:16work.
- 12:20Tommy, he should be the new. You remember
- 12:22the Uncle Sam poster, I want you. He
- 12:26should have his own poster, we want you.
- 12:28You know, the IDF in Israel. He ain't
- 12:31never gonna put a uniform on, neither is
- 12:33his kid. You know?
- 12:37I'm amazed.
- 12:38I'm amazed at the narratives. Now that I've
- 12:42kind of, you know, I mean, I'm reaching
- 12:43a point where now that I don't listen
- 12:45to the mainstream media at all, I've I
- 12:47feel like I'm more better informed than I've
- 12:50ever been. And the narratives that we have
- 12:52are are astounding. I don't know if you
- 12:54guys noticed this, but when before we did
- 12:57this, before we uh, you know, we started
- 13:00the bombing campaign, and you know, and of
- 13:02course on the first day we killed the
- 13:04Aitola guy and we killed the kids in
- 13:07the school. So that was on day one,
- 13:09right? But before that day,
- 13:12and even and even for a minute they
- 13:15thought, because that's right about the time right
- 13:18after that, that they mounted their like street
- 13:20operation. But we were told, and I wonder
- 13:23how many people have noticed this narrative shift.
- 13:26We were told Iran was a dictatorship, that
- 13:29the Ayatollah was a dictator, that the people
- 13:32hated him, and if he was dead, the
- 13:35people would rise up. Well, everybody remembers that
- 13:37narrative, do we not? Oh, yeah.
- 13:41Well, now notice that the narrative has shifted.
- 13:44It's now the IRGC, you see.
- 13:48And this is clever on multiple levels. Number
- 13:51one, it's great that you can suddenly get
- 13:53people to forget that you said it was
- 13:55the Ayatollah. Now that the Ayatollah is dead
- 13:59uh and it didn't work, now it's the
- 14:01IRGC. But the other beautiful part of it
- 14:04is when you say the Ayatollah is a
- 14:06dictator and then you kill them, well, that
- 14:08exposes that you're it was just a narrative,
- 14:11and then it was bull crap. Except for
- 14:13with the IRGC, they avoid that trap because
- 14:16now there's no one person that if you
- 14:19kill them, it would disprove your narrative. See,
- 14:22so this narrative now they got they're like,
- 14:24okay, it's the IRGC. See, so now we
- 14:28cannot prove that their narrative is BS because
- 14:31now it's a multi, it's it's a whole
- 14:33organization rather than one guy.
- 14:36They just couldn't call it a color revolution
- 14:38because they had that in Ukraine.
- 14:42But it's just funny how they can switch
- 14:44a narrative, and these gullible fools
- 14:47just never seem to have noticed that they
- 14:50switched the narrative on them. They didn't even
- 14:52notice that first it was the Ayatollah, and
- 14:55then now it's the IRGC, and everybody just
- 14:58like repeating it, parroting it. Oh, it's the
- 15:00RGC. Well, that's not what you said before
- 15:02you killed the Ayatollah. You said it was
- 15:05him.
- 15:07It's it seems to me what we have
- 15:09here really is
- 15:11an enormous need for a uh
- 15:14what do they call it? An economic evaluation
- 15:17of the Pentagon.
- 15:20We haven't won a war since 1945.
- 15:23Why do we expect our military, after all
- 15:26of that background, to win
- 15:29anything? They can't even keep the toilets running
- 15:32on an aircraft carrier. How are they gonna
- 15:34win a war?
- 15:37Um well against a against a near peer
- 15:39adversary, right? I mean, you know, you you
- 15:42go and you beat up, it's kind of
- 15:43like a it's kind of like a uh
- 15:45what do they call it, a man-eating tiger
- 15:47or something, you know. You can attack weak
- 15:50things that can't fight back, but against a
- 15:52peer adversary, uh you know,
- 15:56you're just running on on opium and and
- 15:59narrative. You really don't have the ability to
- 16:02defeat a a peer adversary or even
- 16:05a near-peer adversary. That's that's exactly right.
- 16:09And and uh I'm sure that there's a
- 16:11lot of unfriendly people in this world who
- 16:13have finally gone to school on what the
- 16:15American military can't do. And I think
- 16:18the beginning of it was that disaster. Um
- 16:21we're supposed to be the great greatest lot
- 16:24logisticians on earth, and we made such a
- 16:26hash out of getting out of Afghanistan, that
- 16:29must have shocked a lot of people in
- 16:30the world.
- 16:33Yeah, did everything backwards, didn't we? We should
- 16:36have, we should have took, we should have
- 16:39first off uh got all the uh citizens
- 16:42that were helping us. They should have got
- 16:44out first, then we should have retreated to
- 16:47our base and then got the equipment out,
- 16:50and then the people last. Like instead, we
- 16:53did everything in a reverse order. We left
- 16:55the base, abandoned it, and then we were
- 16:57stuck in a place we couldn't defend, and
- 17:00we didn't get the people out first. So
- 17:02those that's what you got to get out.
- 17:03The people, then the equipment, and then our
- 17:06guys. It's a very dangerous thing to take
- 17:08Afghans anywhere, sir. No matter if they worked
- 17:11for you or not. They were not working
- 17:12for you, they were working for a buck.
- 17:15And to bring Afghans into this country
- 17:19after you've destroyed their country, and it's always
- 17:21going to be their country.
- 17:23Um
- 17:25that's you know, it it's an insanity. And
- 17:28what does it take?
- 17:30We went in there, the Soviets had just
- 17:33gotten beaten a decade earlier.
- 17:40The Russians got beat, the British got beat
- 17:43three times, Alexander the Great got beat.
- 17:47Is there not a message somewhere in there
- 17:51that these people no matter what you think
- 17:54of their country as a ship bird or
- 17:56a shitburger or whatever you think of it,
- 17:58they love it.
- 18:00And the one thing the only thing that
- 18:02unites them, they're a very diverse people and
- 18:05a very um
- 18:08uh prone to fight with each other people.
- 18:11But boy, when a foreigner gets in their
- 18:13country, you're done like dinner. And
- 18:18no, we used we we were called on
- 18:20to brief all of these guys who were
- 18:23going out to Afghanistan, colonels, lieutenant colonels, light
- 18:26uh generals or brigadiers. Not a one of
- 18:29them knew anything about the country. And one
- 18:31of them, one of them told us the
- 18:33only thing we know about Afghanistan is what's
- 18:35on uh uh you know the the the
- 18:38Tom Brokov and Dan Brother.
- 18:42They knew precisely nothing about it.
- 18:46And um
- 18:49and many of them didn't care. You know,
- 18:51there was there's a tremendous book written by
- 18:53the Red Army's uh chief of staff and
- 18:57his officers, a very honest book,
- 19:01about uh uh why they lost in
- 19:03Afghanistan. And we we must have talked to
- 19:0640 or more uh people of the
- 19:10rank we we uh we mentioned I
- 19:13mentioned. Not one of them had read that
- 19:15book.
- 19:17Well, it should have been required reading, Mike.
- 19:20But just think about this. Let's just take
- 19:21a quick commercial break. If you're in and
- 19:23around the beltway and you're in northern Virginia,
- 19:26or maybe Montgomery County, or even DC, we
- 19:29have Afghan restaurants now. So enjoy your meal.
- 19:32Go ahead, Mike. Yeah, I I I just
- 19:37you know, if you're not prepared in life,
- 19:39you always get your ass kicked in. And
- 19:42we've got our ass kicked in every war
- 19:44since 1945, basically, if we're honest about it.
- 19:47We haven't won anything except them we beat
- 19:49the madey mighty Grenadians down in the
- 19:53Caribbean.
- 19:55You know, you know, also every war is
- 19:58a war that's six thousand miles away. That's
- 20:00right. I mean, and and that's a that's
- 20:02such a good point. Uh it it
- 20:06no one thinks about how far these damn
- 20:08things are away from us. That's exactly right.
- 20:11Remember those old hippie songs in school? A
- 20:14thousand miles, a thousand miles, the old folk
- 20:17tunes, you know, you could have six thousand
- 20:20miles. We could do a new one, Tommy.
- 20:22Do it with a folk guitar, right? We
- 20:25we could, but you know, it's like uh
- 20:27I I feel like also, too, you know,
- 20:29there's all these sub subtrends, you know. Uh
- 20:32our military is is weaker than it was
- 20:35when we went to Vietnam and uh when
- 20:38we went in uh uh Iraq the first
- 20:41time, and then it's weaker now than it
- 20:43was then. Um we've never
- 20:46updated uh a lot of our uh uh
- 20:49offensive and frankly defensive uh air
- 20:52defense uh weapons. We haven't really updated anything.
- 20:55Well, I think this Epstein Fury, this Epstein
- 20:58Fury thing has proven it. Look what they
- 20:59did to the bases in the Middle East,
- 21:01all the all the money that they spent
- 21:03on the weapons for the protection of us
- 21:05being there. And look what the Iranians did
- 21:07with the Radio Shack uh, if I want
- 21:09to call them Radio Shack uh drones. You
- 21:12know, this this comes back to Dr. Mike's
- 21:15you know uh uh arrogance that we have.
- 21:17Like we thought we were surrounding them,
- 21:21whereas from their perspective, we were putting
- 21:24ourselves in range as targets. That's right.
- 21:28It's gonna be much easier to get them
- 21:30here.
- 21:31You know, exactly. I mean, uh again, and
- 21:34as I said in 2006, and I say
- 21:36now, um, you know,
- 21:40it was we could see where this was
- 21:42headed. Um, and you know, like you also
- 21:45said, and I I like to echo it
- 21:47thinks the the wisdom that you have. You
- 21:49know, some of the things that we do,
- 21:52um, we have uh you would have thought,
- 21:55like we back in the 80s, we played
- 21:57Iraq against Iran after the
- 22:00Islamic Revolution. We played Iraq against Iran,
- 22:04we funded Saddam Hussein, he was our buddy,
- 22:07and uh we funded them in that war.
- 22:10Well, okay, but look now what we've
- 22:13done. We've literally, besides the fact that we
- 22:16destroyed Iraq and completely destabilized the place, and
- 22:19I guess now we're finally gone. But uh
- 22:22you know, it took the Iranians to get
- 22:24us out, Tom. Remember that. It took the
- 22:26Iranians to get us out. Well, listen, and
- 22:29when we talk about what something took, it
- 22:31took us to make them friends again.
- 22:35We literally now they're pals. So this
- 22:38is our wisdom of our great foreign
- 22:41policy. We've now made, we've now
- 22:45done what I would have thought would have
- 22:46been impossible. We've made Iraq and
- 22:49Iran friends again through our through
- 22:52our stupidity. That's what we've achieved.
- 22:57Absolutely. And now let me just just throw
- 22:59a little note about Afghanistan because I think
- 23:01Mike Mike fails to mention it
- 23:04sometimes. Um, you know, we were there for
- 23:07a long time, and that was the you
- 23:09know, the old communist thing back in the
- 23:11days of Osama bin Laden, you know, from
- 23:13Reagan to whatever, but we stayed there. How
- 23:15many years, Mike, total? We were there right
- 23:18from the start. So that would have been
- 23:20late 70s to the 93. Okay,
- 23:23I worked on that for 12 years. Okay,
- 23:26so from 70s to 93, but I mean,
- 23:29we're totally out since Biden, let's say, right?
- 23:32Yeah, correct? Okay. How many
- 23:35years? Just how many years did those rag
- 23:38taggers cultivate the poppies?
- 23:41How many years did those military guys in
- 23:44uniforms holding those heavy duty weapons turn their
- 23:47head and probably say at some point to
- 23:50their uh officer in charge, hey, what are
- 23:53we doing here? These people don't want women
- 23:56without clothes, they want to be fully clothed,
- 23:58they have these weird things about their religion,
- 24:01they're they have all these kind of hangups,
- 24:03but they got no problem growing these pompees.
- 24:07So why are we here protecting pompees and
- 24:10talking about communism and talking about women's
- 24:13voting rights? Absolutely, we were there for one
- 24:16big reason, too. The drug business.
- 24:20Well, it was the
- 24:22it was the choice of the defense
- 24:24secretary that those would not be
- 24:28touched. Yeah.
- 24:30My guys went to brief them. We had
- 24:32we had mapped the country for all their
- 24:34major, they called them uh heroin factories.
- 24:38And we had mapped it, and uh
- 24:41we went uh maybe three or four days
- 24:44after 9-11. What the hell was his name?
- 24:48But he was the the defense secretary for
- 24:50Bush Jr. Is that Rumsfeld? Rumsfeld. Yeah,
- 24:54Rumsfeld. And he listened for a couple minutes
- 24:56and he said, Let me stop you, gentlemen.
- 24:58The U.S. Army is not engaged and does
- 25:01not care about the cultivation of uh
- 25:04heroin.
- 25:06Well, that was a quick decoy because guess
- 25:09what? We became the suppliers
- 25:12of that stuff, obviously, because if you didn't
- 25:15care about it, you would have firebombed it,
- 25:17you would have poisoned it, you would have
- 25:18put glycophate, you would have gone to Walmart
- 25:20and got Roundup. But nobody brought Walmart's Roundup
- 25:23that they killed the food with, right? That
- 25:26uh weed killer. So they let it grow.
- 25:28And and remember, since the 70s, we had
- 25:31many, many bouts of uh
- 25:34heroin addiction. It first started in the
- 25:37ghettos, then it started in the white neighborhoods,
- 25:40then they had the cocaine run in the
- 25:4180s with Miami Vice, right? So as the
- 25:44drug dealers of choice, you know, the the
- 25:47West, and then
- 25:50after the heroin episodes and all this, we
- 25:53we we have the legal drug dealers. What
- 25:57the what's the name of that family?
- 26:01Well, only when the government owes to the
- 26:04people will the America become great again.

- 28:19family uh that was selling the uh
- 28:22with the sackers? Yes, the sacklers. When we
- 28:25couldn't no longer do that poppy business, we
- 28:27brought in the sackers and that what what
- 28:29is that thing called? Um what's their pill
- 28:32called, Tommy? It's not uh quaelude.
- 28:35Oxycoden. Oxycodon, yeah.
- 28:38Oxycodon. 460 citizens in
- 28:41Williamsville, Williamson, West Virginia. I think there's
- 28:44460 or 4,600 uh population,
- 28:48and they had enough oxy in that town
- 28:51to kill like two states, right? And here's
- 28:54how you get out of it when you're
- 28:56a legal drug dealer like the Sacklers, who
- 28:58are multi-billionaires. You just pay the fine, like
- 29:00the bank. You know, when the bank does
- 29:01something wrong, okay, how much is it? All
- 29:03right, we we what did we do? We
- 29:05stole three billion, no problem. We give you
- 29:07100 million. All right, that's it. We're we're
- 29:09not pleading guilty, it's no low contendo and
- 29:11all the other stuff, but we'll just give
- 29:13you 10 billion, 100 billion, and put it
- 29:16in the treasury, whatever you guys want to
- 29:17do, we're keeping the rest. Nobody goes to
- 29:19jail, right? And then along comes the jab.
- 29:22And then, okay, guys, we gave you poppies,
- 29:25we gave you cocaine. Well, the cocaine, where
- 29:27did that come from, Tommy? Right? Nicaragua,
- 29:30Nicaragua, right? Manuel. Well, that's a that's a
- 29:33transit point. They don't grow the case.
- 29:35Yeah, they were because we had the Contras.
- 29:38And in order for us to sell the
- 29:40weapons and get the weapons from that guy,
- 29:42I think we used the Iranians that time
- 29:44too, right? We bought the weapons from the
- 29:45Iranians, we used the cocaine money, but then
- 29:47we had Nicaragua, we had El Salvador, we
- 29:50had Andorra, everything coming through. Then where did
- 29:52we land? Oh my gosh. Let me see.
- 29:56What's that lady, Carmen Miranda? Arkansas.
- 29:59Imagine that, Mina, Arkansas. All this shit was
- 30:02flying into Mina, Arkansas. Remember Barry Seals, right?
- 30:05He was the pilot. And that all that
- 30:08really, and guess who became the governor? Oh
- 30:12my gosh, a guy that's, and then he
- 30:15becomes the president. His name is Willie Clinton,
- 30:18right? All of this shit is all related,
- 30:21you know? Bush Sr., then Clinton,
- 30:24then this guy, and then more drugs, and
- 30:26then we go kill F. We had to
- 30:28kill the Iraqis, you know. You don't remember
- 30:29what Ben Benjamin
- 30:31said. All we have to do is take
- 30:33out Iraq, and they'll come out with flags,
- 30:36and they're gonna have that democracy, just like
- 30:38he said about Iran. If we only bomb
- 30:40Iran, we're gonna have this, this, and that.
- 30:42Now, let me tell you what's not on
- 30:44PBS anymore for Michael and you, all right?
- 30:46I don't see any more Rick Steves Iran
- 30:49shows. They used to run the Rick Steves
- 30:51Iranian show at least twice a month on
- 30:53PBS. They're no longer showing Rick Steves in
- 30:56Iran because that was a show that was
- 30:58pro- it was pro-good for the people. It
- 31:00showed you that they weren't getting their heads
- 31:02chopped off. There was no gays flying off
- 31:04the roofs. Rick Steves went all over many,
- 31:07many cities in the country of Iran and
- 31:10telling you how great it was, the food
- 31:11was great. Oh, by the way, I gotta
- 31:14tell you something. Some of those girls looked
- 31:16as sexy as they do in Las Vegas.
- 31:19You don't see that on radio TV, you
- 31:21know what I mean? So it's all bullshit.
- 31:24It's just we need your oil. We're gonna
- 31:26take your oil. We have John Gotti in
- 31:29the White House, John Gotti, uh the American
- 31:31version, I'm sorry, not the Italian version, American
- 31:33version. We go first for Venezuela, then we
- 31:36get there. And I'm sure that China is
- 31:38just gloating. Remember when China came here just
- 31:40a week or so ago, Tom?
- 31:43Yeah, he says, Hey, let me go see
- 31:45this constitution. When I saw that, I had
- 31:47so many comedy things talk about, but let's
- 31:50go see what this constitution says. Well, what
- 31:53they told him was, look, you want
- 31:56to get out of this, go back to
- 31:58the MOU that you signed, and he
- 32:01can't do that. Well, my whole thing is,
- 32:04and that's another thing that's suddenly gone by
- 32:06the wayside. No one seems to be asking,
- 32:09Mr. President, why did you sign this thing?
- 32:12You signed it, you have we have to
- 32:14assume you signed it because you intended to
- 32:17honor it. Why are you signing it if
- 32:19you didn't intend to honor it? You're not
- 32:22honoring it, you know. Nobody even seems to
- 32:24call him out on that. He signed the
- 32:26freaking thing. So it's like, you know, uh,
- 32:29that shows you like why would you do
- 32:32that if you were winning? If you were
- 32:34really winning, why are you signing this thing?
- 32:37So he signs it, and then a Chinese
- 32:39guy comes in. Uh uh, the Giz comes
- 32:42in and says, Look, uh, you aren't off,
- 32:43ramp. Do what you said you were gonna
- 32:46do, sign this. But the president won't do
- 32:48it, they won't do it. They the you
- 32:50know, they will not follow through with that
- 32:52because it's a complete capitulation. It was a
- 32:55document of complete capitulation. Now it's like, you
- 32:58know, what are you gonna do now? You
- 33:00you know, they've already established what they can
- 33:03do. You know, Iran has established what they
- 33:06can do, so we haven't established anything, so
- 33:09now it's just a bunch of lies, and
- 33:11it's amazing that they're getting away with it.
- 33:14Does Lyndon Johnson ring a bell that name?
- 33:17Anybody ring a bell? Lyndon Johnson? Remember that?
- 33:19Vietnam War.
- 33:23Bog down.
- 33:26Well, that's what he I think he's getting
- 33:28ready to go in. Um what what I've
- 33:31been hearing, now I'll just put this out
- 33:33there. I've been hearing that he understands that
- 33:36they understand they can't land a
- 33:39force on the Iranian side. They can't come
- 33:43in that side. They they they've no, there's
- 33:46no way that that will work. So what
- 33:48I think they're doing, uh, what they
- 33:51very well may be doing is they may
- 33:53be planning to come in on the Omani
- 33:56side, and they're gonna actually come in
- 33:59Oman, and that way they think that then
- 34:02from that uh from that vantage
- 34:05point and from being able to like dig
- 34:08in on that side of the strait, that
- 34:11then they can contest with Iran uh from
- 34:14the other side and get that straight
- 34:17opened. That may be their plan.
- 34:20Well, if they do that, Mike, I'll I'll
- 34:23go with this one, Mike and Tom. If
- 34:25they do that, their neighbors, UAE,
- 34:28Bahrain, Oman, and
- 34:32everybody else, look out. Just look
- 34:35out because they're not just gonna come for
- 34:37the Americans, they're gonna make you. Put this
- 34:40way, who's right on the border? You fool
- 34:42around in Oman. Who's on the border? Ansar
- 34:45Allah, the Houthis. And they are they are
- 34:49not going to take well to any of
- 34:51this. I think what's gonna happen is they
- 34:54think they're gonna set up shop on the
- 34:56Omani side, and all they're gonna do is
- 34:59be in a shooting gallery for the Houthis
- 35:02and Iran. And I think they may think
- 35:05they're being clever, but it's really just gonna
- 35:08be the same thing. They're gonna be freaking
- 35:10uh, they're gonna be a sitting duck for
- 35:13the Iranians and for Nsar Allah. And those
- 35:16are not people you want to trifle with.
- 35:18They are like really not. I mean, all
- 35:21my sources tell me that they are not
- 35:24to be trifled with. You are.
- 35:26What do you know about them? Mike may
- 35:28know it. Mike, what do you know about
- 35:28the Houtis Kazutis? The Houtis are
- 35:32all Yemenis are very tough people, very
- 35:35religious people, and very good fighters. A large
- 35:38segment of Al-Qaeda was uh uh um
- 35:41Yemeni, including Houthis. And
- 35:44uh the other thing about the the plan
- 35:47to uh invade is you have to keep
- 35:50from World War II, we know, you have
- 35:53to keep your resupply fleet pretty close to
- 35:56the shore or within within you know shooting
- 35:59distance. And how do you they'll they'll they'll
- 36:02finally have a US Navy that doesn't run
- 36:05because they'll have to stay there to protect
- 36:07the troops they landed. And they'll shoot the
- 36:10shit out of that landing force and its
- 36:13uh uh supply ships.
- 36:16It's it's a madness.
- 36:18I think we should just go ahead, Mike.
- 36:21According to Iran, they have they have uh
- 36:24missiles that they can redirect in flight to
- 36:26moving targets. Now you would think you would
- 36:29think, well, they're just lying, but so far
- 36:33they don't look like liars. No.
- 36:36Well, maybe we're coming up on an election,
- 36:38it'll be an October surprise kind of thing.
- 36:40But again, try to keep the hooties close
- 36:42to you because I understand they got some
- 36:44of the greatest coffee. And right now, Tommy,
- 36:47we got a believe it or not, we
- 36:49got a hootie shop out there uh on
- 36:52Route 7. I want to say Route 7,
- 36:54just right after you pass Leesburg, coming in
- 36:57towards Tyson. And I think Nova's on the
- 36:59left, the you know, the campus, Northern America,
- 37:01what is it, Northern Virginia County. Have you
- 37:03driven Campton or Colonel? Oh, tell me about
- 37:06it. I drove many times on the way
- 37:08home. I stopped there. That is premier Mike.
- 37:11If you go there, you're gonna want to
- 37:13take that route every time now. It's right
- 37:16next to the ATT store. It's a real
- 37:18Yemenese coffee shop. It makes Starbucks look like
- 37:21uh uh beyond 7-Eleven. It's a
- 37:24marble shop. It's got the real stuff.
- 37:29I think is it Mocha their city, Mocha?
- 37:32I don't know. But Tommy, they got killed.
- 37:34If you like coffee and you want to,
- 37:36you're down that way one day, you know,
- 37:37when you're doing your thing, you just go
- 37:39over there. It's opposite the uh it's where
- 37:41the red light is, where Nova campus is,
- 37:43the Northern Virginia Community College. And it's right
- 37:46in one of those strip malls. There's a
- 37:47Greek restaurant, there's an ATT, and I think
- 37:50behind it is Harris Teeter or something like
- 37:52that. But you want to stop by and
- 37:54say hello to the Hooties. I go on
- 37:55the way when I'm in and out of
- 37:56that that area. I stop by and get
- 37:59that coffee. I get it on the way
- 38:00home. So I could, you know, I could
- 38:01do like that Tesla stuff. When I drink
- 38:04that coffee, Mike, I don't even I just
- 38:06close my eyes and fall asleep behind the
- 38:07wheel, let the car go.
- 38:10Well, I could put my Islamophobia aside for
- 38:13long enough to enjoy a good cup of
- 38:15coffee.
- 38:18Let me say something to you. You know,
- 38:20between Mark Levin, once in a while I
- 38:22gotta look at them, not on X, but
- 38:23I I gotta listen in, you know, on
- 38:25Night Show or replay or whatever. You know,
- 38:28between him, Bangino, uh, what's this other
- 38:31guy? Joe, Joe Pags out in
- 38:34Texas, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity. You know,
- 38:37we gotta save Israel. Why don't we do
- 38:40this? Can we get the uh can we
- 38:41get the black robe uh pro-Israeli
- 38:44pastors to to suit up, Mike, make him
- 38:46you know get back into the military? Because
- 38:48they got 10,000 pastors now on the propaganda,
- 38:51uh, propaganda tour, Tommy. 10,000
- 38:54evangelical pastors have visited or are visiting
- 38:57total, it'll be 10,000. And and telling us
- 39:00why we got to take out Iran. Uh,
- 39:02and by the way, there's Jewish people in
- 39:04Iran, you know, real Jews, real synagogues, and
- 39:06there's real Christians there. We got to take
- 39:08them out so that, you know, it'll be
- 39:11better. Now, just let's go back a little
- 39:12bit in time because we got the historian
- 39:14on with us. Um back in the day
- 39:18when they were coming from Europe, they were
- 39:20getting kicked out of Europe. Uh, it was
- 39:22during the time of the World War II,
- 39:24post-World War II. They had these signs on
- 39:26the on the back of the ships, please,
- 39:28we need a place to stay. And remember,
- 39:29the Palestinians opened up the door and let
- 39:31them in. We know that story. And then
- 39:33they came in and they were there living
- 39:35there. But they wanted, they just wanted to
- 39:37have a place to live where they wouldn't
- 39:39be chased, right? That was the whole concept.
- 39:41The concept was we need a we want
- 39:43to go back to the land or whatever,
- 39:45and we want a place to live. But
- 39:46now that they're there, they don't want nobody
- 39:48in the neighborhood. They're actually the original nimbies,
- 39:51Tom. Not in my backyard. We don't want
- 39:54any Muslims. They're the original nimbies. Oh, and
- 39:57your backyard? That's my backyard now.
- 40:01The settlers are like, yeah, you that was
- 40:03your backyard. Oh, in the Lebanon, these were
- 40:06your olive trees. Now we burnt them down.
- 40:08Did you see that? The thousand, two thousand-year-old
- 40:12olive trees, they're just ripping them apart in
- 40:14in uh Lebanon, they're ripping them in in
- 40:17uh Israel and Gaza. But here's the
- 40:20thing you know, I read this in the
- 40:22Bible and I brought it out, I brought
- 40:23it to attention of some of one of
- 40:25our guests. In war, it says in the
- 40:28book in the Bible, in war, you should
- 40:30not touch the fruits or the trees. You
- 40:32don't touch that stuff, you don't rip it
- 40:34out of the ground. Okay, right. You're also
- 40:37not supposed to shoot kids in the nuts
- 40:38either. But
- 40:40Deuteronomy talks about, and then it talks about
- 40:42it in Revelation, right? And you know, these
- 40:45people are supposed to be the holy ones,
- 40:46the religious ones, because they prayed to the
- 40:48wall, right? You say to yourself, Well, why
- 40:50are they doing this? Why you there was
- 40:52one lady I saw a picture yesterday, she
- 40:54was hugging her tree as they were excavating
- 40:56it out of the ground. She wouldn't let
- 40:57go of her tree. I mean, that's a
- 40:59that's an income. And by the way, you
- 41:02know, it's got some of the greatest olive
- 41:03oil, like Spain and Italy and so on,
- 41:05you know. If you go to uh there's
- 41:08a shop in Chantilly, I think it is.
- 41:11It may be a Turkish shop, but it's
- 41:13a Middle East kind of shop. You can
- 41:14buy all that stuff there. That's one of
- 41:16the very few places you can actually buy
- 41:19Palestinian olive oil. They have like seven,
- 41:23eight brands there. And it's not cheap, guys.
- 41:25It's not cheap, but it must be super
- 41:27duper. You know what I mean? It must
- 41:28be like really, you know, five-star quality.
- 41:32But it's the only store.
- 41:39Because they have Syrian olive oil and they
- 41:40have Lebanese olive oil and they have Palestinian
- 41:42olive oil in that store. And it was
- 41:44amazing. I won't say the price, it's just
- 41:46was high price, but it was, I said,
- 41:48this has got to be the it's got
- 41:49to be the bomb of bombs of uh
- 41:51of olive oil, you know. But they had
- 41:52a lot of products from that area. And
- 41:54I think a lot of the stuff somehow
- 41:56gets through Lebanon. Maybe they repackage it, they
- 41:58relabel it, you know, like we used to
- 42:00do in Asia years ago. When you had
- 42:02a sanction in Asia back in the 90s,
- 42:05your country company would just put Singapore uh
- 42:08labels on and then ship it down to
- 42:10Singapore and ship it out on a ship
- 42:11through Singapore. So you got around these stupid
- 42:14U.S. sanctions that they would put on people
- 42:17because they didn't like uh Ang Songsu Ki
- 42:20or something like that. You know what I
- 42:21mean? So that's the way that rolls. But
- 42:23listen, we're not winning, we're not winning. Uh
- 42:26he may pull, he may do what you're
- 42:27talking about, Tommy, because we're coming up on
- 42:29election, right? Uh he may do martial law,
- 42:32that's another thing, you know. But he's got
- 42:34to check in. He's got to check in
- 42:35with BB. What BB wants is what BB's
- 42:37been getting so far. And he's got to
- 42:39check in with Mark Levin and also Jared,
- 42:41because in the end, there's always a hotel
- 42:43deal. You sometimes you got to buy an
- 42:45island, sometimes you got to, you know, if
- 42:48I think if Jared could sign a couple
- 42:49of deals for hotels in an island somewhere
- 42:52there, they'll settle it. But what this this
- 42:55conflict or this war, this Epstein Fury war,
- 42:58which is what it is, it's basically because
- 43:00of the Epstein files, we went to war.
- 43:02And because we're we're gluttons now. We want
- 43:05to.
- 43:08They took Congress into recess rather than deal
- 43:10with it. Mass has said they're going to
- 43:12recess Congress, and they all called him a
- 43:15liar, and that's exactly what they did. They
- 43:18went into recess, they're not doing anything until
- 43:20after the midterms. It's like, I thought you
- 43:22were supposed to be doing the people's work.
- 43:24I thought you all supposedly cared about this
- 43:26Epstein stuff. They don't, they're covering it up.
- 43:29Yep. Well, the both parts remember when Joe
- 43:32Biden was the president. I mean, people forget
- 43:35when he was the president, he could have
- 43:36released these files, right? That's right. So I
- 43:39mean they had the same information. In fact,
- 43:42I think Mike will agree. Their
- 43:45FBI was a little bit more stronger on
- 43:47breaking nuts, weren't they? They weren't like this
- 43:50guy.
- 43:52Yeah, well, he just
- 43:54it's just it's incredible the people he picks
- 43:57is they're just such creeps. No, I mean,
- 44:01look at look at the uh look at
- 44:02the two people that that Biden had. I
- 44:04mean, whether he picked them or somebody else
- 44:06did. I mean, he had Garland, right? And
- 44:09and uh and they they didn't give a
- 44:11shit. They kept going straight away, you know,
- 44:13take Trump to court, do whatever you gotta
- 44:15do. And then his who was his uh
- 44:17who's the Secretary of State, Mike? Blinken, right?
- 44:20Blinken. Blinken, yeah, Blinken. Yeah, Blinken was an
- 44:23actual Secretary of State. He went around and
- 44:25got things done, whether they were good, bad,
- 44:26or ugly. You know, Rubio, he's like he's
- 44:29like the pitch hitter. All right, let's uh
- 44:32we'll send Bessett. Okay, we'll send Grinnell, uh,
- 44:35we'll send Luis. Uh let's see. We got
- 44:38another one. Batter up. Uh, let's see, we'll
- 44:40send uh yeah, we'll send Elon. They send
- 44:43everybody but the Secretary of State. But you
- 44:46know what? That's funny, they believe their own
- 44:49bull crap. The the even the even the
- 44:51CIA director, he goes over to Russia and
- 44:54threatens them and tells them that they're in
- 44:58trouble. And it's like Russia's like, you know,
- 45:00maybe you believe your own propaganda, son, but
- 45:04we're not in trouble. Why don't you get
- 45:05back on your little plane and get the
- 45:07fuck out of here? Because we're not interested
- 45:09in any of your threats. We don't care
- 45:11what you don't you don't even, you're the
- 45:13CIA director and you know less than you
- 45:16know nothing. You just you like these guys,
- 45:20how do they guys what do we pay
- 45:22these guys for?
- 45:23You know, Dr. Mike, what do we pay
- 45:25these guys for? They don't know anything. No,
- 45:29it's that that's the column. But they what
- 45:31they they do know is they know how
- 45:33to follow orders and they know where the
- 45:34money lies. And so they you don't mind
- 45:37seeing uh 3,000 Americans get killed.
- 45:41They don't mind us getting our asses kicked
- 45:43in wars as long as the money keeps
- 45:45flowing. It's the kind of people we are
- 45:48now, Mike. Tommy, they said the
- 45:51CIA director who was
- 45:54before he was another he was
- 45:56another piece in in the first administration,
- 46:00and and he let that whole thing of
- 46:02the uh the Russia collusion, you know, that's
- 46:05slide by. I mean, when he went to
- 46:07Russia, they you know what it is? They
- 46:10must have had like a popcorn night. They
- 46:11got the big screen. Here, here comes the
- 46:13CIA director, right? And Lavrov and the other
- 46:15guys are all having a drink, smoking a
- 46:18cigar or whatever, and then okay, let's see
- 46:20what the clowns coming in. You're like, can
- 46:22you put Rubio against Lavrov, Tommy? No way,
- 46:25no way. I mean, come on. Uh I'd
- 46:28trade the whole state department for Lavrov.
- 46:34He's old enough to throw in a couple
- 46:36of carriers, too, I think. Yeah, throwing a
- 46:39couple carriers. You know, the thing is that
- 46:41these guys, the guys that we have, I
- 46:43mean, look, like you said, uh uh uh
- 46:46Dr. Mike, the guys we have really don't
- 46:49know anything. The the guys he appoints guys
- 46:52who don't know anything, and the reason why
- 46:54he does that is because he doesn't know
- 46:57anything and he doesn't want them to show
- 46:59him up and detect
- 47:01you know, right? So if they're dumb as
- 47:03so stumps too, then that suits, then that's
- 47:06what it's kind of like the three blind
- 47:09mice over there. They send this, but it
- 47:11kills me how the CIA director
- 47:13doesn't know that Russia's kicking the crap out
- 47:17of Ukraine. How is it he has an
- 47:19entire agency at his disposal and he doesn't
- 47:22know that, and he goes over there and
- 47:24threatens them? It's like it's not that he
- 47:27doesn't know it, Tom. It's that they just
- 47:29ignore the news. They that doesn't fit into
- 47:32what the president wants to do. I was
- 47:35in charge of making a paper uh or
- 47:37preparing a paper on the basis of 20
- 47:39years of the agency's uh 25 years of
- 47:42the agency's uh uh information,
- 47:46electronic information on Iraq, and
- 47:49uh about a a possible uh nuclear
- 47:53connection between Osama bin Laden and Iraq.
- 47:56And we went through all that. I had
- 47:58four or five people, and we went through
- 48:00around a hundred thousand documents, maybe more.
- 48:04And not a link.
- 48:07And the thing is, when you when you
- 48:09finish a paper like that, you don't know
- 48:11what happens to it.
- 48:14Uh is it ever delivered to the president?
- 48:16Is it ever delivered to the director? You
- 48:19don't know.
- 48:21And you produce the product, but you're you
- 48:23can't make them read it. No, they can't
- 48:26you can't.
- 48:28Who was that guy during the Vietnam War,
- 48:30the Pentagon Papers, Daniel What? What was his
- 48:32name? Ellsberg. Yeah, they don't have Ellsberg's
- 48:35around anymore either. You know? Well, you could
- 48:38see
- 48:39we got Blumenthal, he's pretty good. Oh, you
- 48:42mean Max? Ellsberg, though, he had the advantage
- 48:45of having access to the documents. Yeah, that's
- 48:48what I mean. Yeah, he's not inside. Max
- 48:49is outside, but Max Max has a lot
- 48:51of stuff. But again, they'll they'll call him
- 48:52an Islamophobia. Uh uh, you know, he's he'll
- 48:55be a uh Qatar son or something, you
- 48:57know. Like when Tucker talks about Qatar, by
- 49:00the way, he's Qatar son or something, you
- 49:03know. But nobody's a Paxon, they don't have
- 49:05an Apax support. You know what I mean?
- 49:07No, and but you know what though, back
- 49:09to what you guys were saying about the
- 49:11pastors that Israel's paying, you know,
- 49:14as soon as Candace, as soon as Candace
- 49:17and Tucker got off the Israeli train, all
- 49:20of a sudden these guys uh all they
- 49:22do is um try to trash them. And
- 49:24it's like really obvious the way they do
- 49:27it. It's like it's almost like they got
- 49:29a secret code. You go on and you
- 49:32post, and when you post about Candace, you
- 49:35misspell her name and you say, I used
- 49:38to like her. Oh, I used to be
- 49:40a big fan. It's kind of like their
- 49:41little like talking points. Okay, uh, misspell her
- 49:45name and say you used to like her.
- 49:46That's how we know you're on our team,
- 49:48and we'll give you the money. Oh, yeah,
- 49:50yeah, yeah. Payment program.
- 49:53Yeah, I mean, there is a payment program.
- 49:56She documented it because the pastors that they
- 49:59have all these NGOs, they pay people to
- 50:01come out and post stuff pro-Israel stuff, and
- 50:05that means anti-Candice, anti-Tucker stuff, and they pay
- 50:08people to do it. They've admitted it.
- 50:12Well, I would say this is about the
- 50:14time of the show, Mike, where I got
- 50:15to take my commercial break again.
- 50:19As we always say, listen, we have the
- 50:21TWOMiks.us website, and you can also go to
- 50:24to mics.com if it's easier for you. And
- 50:28we're we're looking for some new sponsors. And
- 50:30Tommy, we said this on a previous show
- 50:32before you came on today, that uh if
- 50:34you're gonna go first class, whether economy, business,
- 50:38first class, and you wanted to have, let's
- 50:40say, an airline, an airline that sponsors a
- 50:43show like the two mic show, which is
- 50:45freedom of speech and first amendment, just like
- 50:47our national security show on Monday night at
- 50:498 p.m. on AmericaOut Loud.news, where it's freedom
- 50:52of speech, First Amendment. I would say if
- 50:55Qatar is listening, and they may be listening,
- 50:57you know, everybody listens to your devices now.
- 50:59We're we would welcome to have Qatar Airlines.
- 51:02It's just a five-star airline, it's number one
- 51:05going around the globe. If Qatar is listening
- 51:08or Qatar Airlines is listening, this is the
- 51:10portion of the show we want you to
- 51:12go to our website, email. Don't get me
- 51:14wrong, I'll take that Qatari money. What do
- 51:16you mean? You know, they're not offering me
- 51:18that money, but but if you got the
- 51:20check, you want to write some checks, man.
- 51:21You know, I'm all there. I'm all for
- 51:23yeah. I mean, I'm all in because listen,
- 51:25I'm gonna tell you something. If you ever
- 51:27took that airline, and I've took it many
- 51:28times in the past, if you ever took
- 51:30that airline, you're gonna get on there and
- 51:32you're gonna see Jewish people, Indian people, American
- 51:35people, French people, European people. Everybody
- 51:38takes that airline. They have no problem
- 51:41getting that first class economy class, business
- 51:45class, and smooth sailing and great service. Go
- 51:48look online, ladies and gentlemen. If you think
- 51:50I'm lying, number one airline in the world.
- 51:52They fly to all parts of the world.
- 51:55So again, since I hear they're giving,
- 51:58what was it? The last thing I heard,
- 52:00Mike, about the universities, how many billions? What'd
- 52:02they pour? $8 billion into the American University.
- 52:05Yeah, I can't remember the number.
- 52:06Hey guys, we're not that expensive. In fact,
- 52:10you could have Tommy do the voiceover with
- 52:12us. We don't care. Let's get this thing
- 52:14going. Go to the email, go to the
- 52:16website, email us, say, hey guys, here's our
- 52:18lawyers, get your lawyer on the phone. We'll
- 52:20make a long-term contract. We'll be happy to

- 52:25anything but Qatar Airlines. We'll be telling, in
- 52:28fact, you could give us three free seats,
- 52:30six, whatever you want. We'll come to Qatar

- 52:35GCC committee meetings. We'll get to meet BB
- 52:38when he's there, we'll get to meet Trump
- 52:40when he's there, we'll get to meet Jared
- 52:41as he signs the hotel deals. We could
- 52:44meet all the money, we could meet the
- 52:45big money players. We could have a live
- 52:47show right from Doha. So listen, if you're
- 52:49listening, Qatar, make sure you contact us. That
- 52:52was my portion of the commercial, Tom.
- 52:56You and Tom can be the overseas crew
- 52:58for uh I know you don't want you
- 53:01don't want to flood more than an hour.
- 53:03This kid ain't going nowhere.
- 53:07You can't go out.
- 53:09Tommy knows this
- 53:11doctor, Mike. Yeah, you'll you'll be in a
- 53:13freaking you'll be in a Czech prison cell,
- 53:15man. You definitely gotta watch it, man.
- 53:19They'll they'll be parachuting Mike right over the
- 53:22EU somewhere. Yeah, let's drop them off in
- 53:25Serbia.
- 53:27Yeah.
- 53:29No, but I mean
- 53:31Marker from Toproia will have you. Yeah.
- 53:35No, but Tommy, you go anywhere. I'm not
- 53:37gonna go to them. Listen, anywhere you go
- 53:41around the globe, the guys are number one.
- 53:43So why not go first class? I don't
- 53:45want United Airlines. We're not even thinking about
- 53:47you. Spirit Airlines, you're done already. Jet Blue,
- 53:50forget it. You lost your whatever you had.
- 53:53Okay. Jet Blue now, when they fly, there's
- 53:55always an engine problem. You gotta wait. I
- 53:57did two jet blues recently. I think it
- 54:00was 25 and 25. Uh no,
- 54:03not jet blue. It was southwest. I'm sorry,
- 54:05southwest. Two times. The
- 54:09the flight was postponed for maintenance. I'm like,
- 54:11okay, I'm done. I'm staying overnight. I'll wait
- 54:14till tomorrow. I don't want one of these
- 54:16patch ups. You know, here we come. It'll
- 54:17only be three hours later. You'll be going,
- 54:19no, no, no. Sorry, I'll take the hotel.
- 54:20I'll go back tomorrow. You know, what is
- 54:22it? Like, two times I I took Southwest
- 54:25and they had maintenance problems. Has anybody got
- 54:27ranches over there? You know, it's just you
- 54:29don't want to deal with these, and it's
- 54:31terrible service anyway. I mean, what are they
- 54:33going to give you? There's no service. You
- 54:35know, it's just we're right now we got
- 54:37to wait.
- 54:42Let me tell you something. I'll take one
- 54:44of those four-wheel cameras.
- 54:47Those four-wheel camels, the cheapest one out there
- 54:50is probably 150 grand. You know, you see
- 54:53McLaren, Tommy, you see McLaren's out there like
- 54:55you see uh uh Toyota Prius is in
- 54:59America. They're all over, you know. Well,
- 55:02if they keep around with Iran, they're gonna
- 55:05be back on camels if they don't watch
- 55:07it. Well, I don't think Qatar got their
- 55:08ass whipped, did they? Did Qatar get their
- 55:10ass whipped so far? Not really. I don't
- 55:13think they're hitting hard there. I think the
- 55:15UAE they took them out, Bahrain. They I
- 55:18don't think they did major. Oh, yeah, they
- 55:20did some of the LNG, I think the
- 55:21LNG tanks. That's gonna be a while to
- 55:23get anybody who helps us is on their
- 55:27list. Yep. Anybody helps us.
- 55:31Well they were doing good. They were doing
- 55:33good, Tom. They would they were flipping oil,
- 55:35even though it was sanctioned. They were doing
- 55:37their thing with Oman, they were doing their
- 55:39thing with the uh Middle East. You know,
- 55:40everybody looked the other way. Trump knew that.
- 55:43He knew that since he was around the
- 55:45first time and the second time, right? They
- 55:47were doing the oil. You cannot be in
- 55:50that region
- 55:52under sanctions and not make money. And if
- 55:54you think for one minute, these these people
- 55:56that have been around, Mike, how many years?
- 55:584,000 years?
- 56:01Mike?
- 56:03Is Mike with us? He left. Tom, are
- 56:05you there? I'm here. Okay, how
- 56:09many years have the Iranians been around? 4,000
- 56:11years? Supposedly 5,000. 5,000
- 56:15years. You think they didn't know how to
- 56:16trade with those guys? And everybody looked the
- 56:19other way? Because when you're talking billions of
- 56:21dollars,
- 56:23you're gonna make money. They're neighbors. All
- 56:26of that sanction stuff was bullshit. You know
- 56:29what I mean? But then, you know, we
- 56:31got this thing about well, we want to
- 56:33be sitting there. They've been under they've been
- 56:35under sanctions from us for 47 years, so
- 56:38yeah, so how they've obviously adapted. You know,
- 56:41there's a thing about sanctions is you know,
- 56:43okay, maybe they hurt the regular people
- 56:46and they might kind of throw the government
- 56:49and the business off for a while. But
- 56:51after 47 years, you build alternative structures
- 56:55and they don't have any real effect, they
- 56:57don't have the effect that you want to
- 56:59have anymore. Right. So all we did was
- 57:02harden them. What we did was we hardened
- 57:04them and we basically forced them to prep
- 57:08so that when we did eventually come for
- 57:10them, they would have all these redundancies and
- 57:13alternative trade routes, and everything is all kind
- 57:16of already been established. It's like they're not
- 57:18surprised, they're not shocked, they're not caught off
- 57:21guard. So they're traders, it's in their blood,
- 57:24they're traders. China, China supported them, Russia supported
- 57:27them, Turkey supported them, everybody supported them, and
- 57:30they have the right to. We can't tell
- 57:31other people what to do, you know. Michael
- 57:34is Dr. Michael Scheuer back with us yet? I
- 57:37think he went out for a coffee. He's
- 57:39probably getting a Yemenese coffee, by the way.
- 57:41I hope he's not ordering by DoorDash, it'll
- 57:43take a few hours.
- 57:46But if you're in the area, Tom, that's
- 57:48the place to go and have the coffee.
- 57:50And look, you would think by now, although
- 57:52you know Trump's personality, but you would think
- 57:54by now he'd be calling everybody on the
- 57:56table and in the room and saying, why
- 57:58did this happen or that happened? You know,
- 58:01he doesn't care, it doesn't matter to him,
- 58:03you know. I don't think he's all there.
- 58:05No, Mike, I don't think he's all there
- 58:07anymore. There's something wrong with him. He's going
- 58:10senile, and you know how people go senile
- 58:13in different ways. Some people get like all
- 58:16foggy and and and kind of confused.
- 58:19So the other people go senile angry, and
- 58:23I think he's an angry senile. So he's
- 58:25angry all the time. Yeah, yeah, they get
- 58:27bitchy, yeah. They get bit, they're very irritated,
- 58:30they're very irritated, yeah. You know, it's
- 58:33like when you see these young people. When
- 58:36I say young, you know, children of parents
- 58:38that are going through dementia, you know, they
- 58:40they get angry when they're feeding them and
- 58:42they're fighting with them, and they don't mean
- 58:44it because they don't know it, right? And
- 58:46I think he he knows he's not, he
- 58:49probably knows he's not what he was, and
- 58:51it's bitching him. You know what I'm saying?
- 58:53I mean, when he gets just think about
- 58:55this, the president of the United States, supposedly
- 58:57the leader of the free world, he couldn't
- 59:00comes out and he goes, I want to
- 59:01annihilate those bastards, you know. I'm gonna knock,
- 59:03I'm gonna take them to like what kind
- 59:05of talk is that? What kind of talk
- 59:08is that? You know, I'll annihilate them.
- 59:11Who are you to take away a you
- 59:13know, civilization? Who parties you got? You
- 59:16know, and and and uh uh were you
- 59:18did you get like a vision during the
- 59:20night? You know, I mean
- 59:23we've been fighting their wars, Tommy, too many
- 59:26years since 19 what 50s and 60s? You
- 59:29know, wake up and smell the roses, man,
- 59:31it's bankrupt us, you know. Yeah, it's well
- 59:34that's a thing now. Now there's really no
- 59:37for him, there's no turning back. He's look
- 59:40who he's surrounded by. I mean, BB's girl
- 59:43is his chief of staff, his right house
- 59:45chief of staff. So it's like he's he
- 59:48can't break out of what he's into, and
- 59:51he's too senile to do it if he
- 59:53could. You know, in other words, there's no
- 59:55one that can reach him. Look who he's
- 59:57surrounded by. Nutcases like Hegsteath, uh
- 1:00:00Susie Wiles, Marco Rubio,
- 1:00:04and you know, and JD is compromised too,
- 1:00:06and I don't think Trump listens to him
- 1:00:09because if you don't tell him what he
- 1:00:10wants to hear, he won't listen to you
- 1:00:12anyway. So it's like he's surrounded by
- 1:00:15idiots, he can't break out, he's too senile
- 1:00:19to break out. That's why I don't like
- 1:00:21where this is headed, and and you know,
- 1:00:24and I don't like the whole situation because
- 1:00:26people should be protesting this, but they're yes.
- 1:00:30Tommy, you're uh this is the one thing
- 1:00:33we don't have anymore since the 70s or
- 1:00:3680s. There's no protest, 60s. There's no now.
- 1:00:38Let me tell you something. The Democrats think
- 1:00:40they can win and they want to win,
- 1:00:41right? They were the biggest protesters back in
- 1:00:44the day. Remember the Vietnam War? Oh gosh,
- 1:00:47they were just like they they were everywhere.
- 1:00:49But you know what? We had bigger protests
- 1:00:51for George Floyd and Antifa and Black
- 1:00:54Lives Matter than we do for a war
- 1:00:56that we're having, which is draining us. We
- 1:00:58have no business in. It wasn't it, it's
- 1:01:01not even a war that was approved by
- 1:01:03Congress. You know, it's one of these, you
- 1:01:06know, it's a conflict, it's okay. And the
- 1:01:08bottom line, we have to go back to
- 1:01:09it again and again and again. This war
- 1:01:11has started because nobody wanted to open those
- 1:01:13Epstein files. How many of whatever pages
- 1:01:17there were, 24,000, 240,000, right?
- 1:01:20This Epstein thing, uh, because, and you know,
- 1:01:23listen, Iran is laughing, Russia's laughing, they're
- 1:01:26all laughing because they know they have
- 1:01:30the copy. I'm sure they have the copy
- 1:01:32of who's in the files. If they don't,
- 1:01:34if they got bad, uh they got
- 1:01:37bad spies, let's put it that way. Okay,
- 1:01:39they know who's in there.
- 1:01:42Well, I mean, they know that what
- 1:01:45we're doing is accelerating our
- 1:01:48fall from grace. Basically, we're we're
- 1:01:51accelerating our loss of of standing in the
- 1:01:54world by the actions that we're taking. If
- 1:01:56we didn't do this, we would still be
- 1:01:58headed down. But by him doing this, by
- 1:02:01him, you know, and then use the tariffs
- 1:02:03as all part of it too, you know,
- 1:02:05because once you start saying, I'm gonna tariff
- 1:02:07everybody, well, and then you're gonna take Russia's
- 1:02:10foreign exchange reserves, and then you're gonna what
- 1:02:13seize them and give them to Ukraine. And
- 1:02:16basically, all this is doing is telling the
- 1:02:18rest of the world, look, this dollar system,
- 1:02:21we can use it against you anytime we
- 1:02:23want. Exactly. And nobody wants to be involved.
- 1:02:27That's right. Well, that's the message that you're
- 1:02:29sending is you better make other plans because
- 1:02:32look, you stay in this system. One day
- 1:02:35you it's gonna be you that we're after,
- 1:02:38one day it's gonna be your reserves we're
- 1:02:40gonna take. One day we're gonna target you.
- 1:02:43And if you're using the dollar, then that
- 1:02:46gives us leverage on you. So basically, that's
- 1:02:49where it's all headed, is is to get
- 1:02:51out of that system. And what's what's coming
- 1:02:54from that, and this might be something for
- 1:02:57the listeners to ponder. What's coming is there's
- 1:03:00a whole lot about 30 trillion dollars
- 1:03:03that's outside this country. Now, other countries aren't
- 1:03:07in that situation. There aren't 30 trillion
- 1:03:10dollars value of Russian currency outside of
- 1:03:13Russia, there aren't 30 trillion dollars worth of
- 1:03:16Chinese currency outside of China. We're the only
- 1:03:19ones in that situation. So the problem
- 1:03:22is when you decide you want to divest
- 1:03:26yourself, you're an outside uh foreign holder of
- 1:03:29dollars. When you decide you want to divest
- 1:03:31yourself of dollars, there's only one place those
- 1:03:34dollars can go and be spent, and that's
- 1:03:37here. So that's the thing that we
- 1:03:40are um not really looking uh ahead
- 1:03:44to, which we should be, is when these
- 1:03:46dollars come flooding home, then we're gonna see
- 1:03:50all the inflation that we've been exporting to
- 1:03:53other countries for 50, 60, 70 years.
- 1:03:56We're gonna see all that inflation all
- 1:04:00come home. And we think we've seen inflation
- 1:04:03now, which we ain't seen nothing yet.
- 1:04:06Oh, God forgive us. Hey, listen, Tom, thank
- 1:04:08you. Um I don't know where Mike is.
- 1:04:10Mike probably has to jump on the line.
- 1:04:12But anyway, I want to thank you, Tommy
- 1:04:14DeSaplo, for coming back and joining us on
- 1:04:15two mics. It's always a pleasure. Always, always
- 1:04:18a great honor and a pleasure. Thank you
- 1:04:20guys.
