Our military should not be mistaken for our cable news gap

1:59
Join us as we tackle the challenges, celebrate the winds,
2:04
and drive forward together. Hey, hello, hello, everybody.
2:12
Welcome to my underground bunker studio.
2:15
I'm trucker mouth and you're on the road show.
2:19
So here on the road, I've got to take your glasses off for every
2:21
goddamn thing. Here on the road, we discuss
2:23
issues in the in the transportation industry and not
2:26
not limited to just the trucking.
2:27
It could be, you know, cargo ships, it could be trains.
2:32
I mean, it could be, it could be, you know, cargo planes.
2:36
Anything to do with with transportation industry Do a lot
2:40
on the trucking though, because I am trucking there.
2:42
I was doing OK. So today we're going to discuss
2:45
the use of personal conveyance in the trucking industry.
2:52
OK Personal conveyance is the use of a commercial motor
2:55
vehicle for personal use as off duty.
3:02
So you're off duty, you're off the you're off the books.
3:05
Your time's up and, and, and, and you got to, you know, use,
3:08
use this to for your own personal use.
3:11
OK, when he is is off duty only when he or she is relieved from
3:16
work by the motor carrier. OK The truck can also be used
3:20
while in laden, which means you can be used to be pulling the
3:22
truck. You can be pulling your trailer
3:24
with it as long as it's not being used for the benefit of
3:29
the motor carrier and personal convenience does not count
3:34
against truck drivers hours, hours of service.
3:36
So this is all in your own time after, after you, after you
3:39
enter your log, you're sitting there and, and you know, you
3:42
want to, you know, go to a restaurant that you like because
3:46
you've been in the area before. Something you, you can
3:49
disconnect, put a lot, put a kingpin lock on there and, you
3:57
know, go, go to the restaurant or if it's a truck stop, you
4:01
know, keep the trailer on and pull it on.
4:03
And, you know, somewhere to make your life a little better out
4:08
there, you can use personal conveyance.
4:10
Personal advance went into effect as we know it.
4:15
The systems followed today, June 7th of 2018.
4:20
I didn't know a lot of personal I did personal advance already.
4:24
It's called not logging. It's called ending your log and
4:27
just go on and then catching up tomorrow on your log on a
4:29
different on your next day's log just driving and you couldn't
4:33
fuel or anything because you were you're driving, you know,
4:36
off the log. But that's what we did and
4:41
everybody did it. So the mountain this person go
4:44
fast to try to. So now that rings the LDS.
4:46
I didn't run the LDS much. I don't have the LDS.
4:48
The last I ran for like 6 months and then I got into Tri axle,
4:55
last local Tri axle job. The last, you know, year and a
4:59
half of my of my driving career, which trucker mouth can't drive
5:03
a truck no more because they took it from him.
5:06
All right, so he's not a happy truck in her mouth.
5:10
OK, yeah. So don't count against the
5:13
drivers hours of service. There's a lot of misuse and
5:17
misinterpretation of the personal conveyance also.
5:24
There we go. It's a bigger picture.
5:27
So you got a misuse of it and the hell yeah, truck drivers
5:31
going to misuse personal conveyance.
5:33
If, if I'm in a place, if my, our service ends somewhere and I
5:38
can, I know that 30 miles down the road there's a truck stop
5:42
with a, you know, a bar restaurant, right like next to
5:45
it. I'm going there and you know,
5:52
when you, I guess when you go across the scales and they pull
5:54
me back. What are you doing?
5:55
Well, I'm, I'm going up to the truck stop.
5:58
Well, that's, that's, that's OK. You know, you can't be 3 hours
6:04
after you end your, your log, say you're on personal vans.
6:08
They ain't gonna get it. But yeah, man, that's, it's a
6:11
good, that's a good thing. And I'm sure people are using it
6:14
for, I know drivers said they used it to to finish the run
6:18
they had, you know, 60 miles ago or, you know, 70 miles ago that
6:22
our destination and they could sleep in the lot and be the
6:25
first one, the first in line. Hell yeah, they're going to do
6:27
that. We're going to try and do it
6:29
anyway. So I'm glad they come out with
6:36
that for them guys out there now because they need it.
6:38
In 2022, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance argued that 61%
6:43
of violations logged, that's personal convenience, where
6:46
attempts to conceal hours of service violations.
6:51
Yeah, I'm sure 61% of the violations logged as PC were
6:57
attempts to conceal. Yeah, they were running over
6:59
their hours. And I got, I got shut down and
7:04
ready at a truck stop for running over my hours.
7:07
I had kind of a good reason. I was in a rest area and there
7:11
wasn't many people in the rest area.
7:12
It was only, it was a real big one and you could park, you
7:16
know, this way you'd have to park in this lot.
7:18
You can park very long, though, as you come in, this car comes
7:22
up and parks beside me. And like, why is this car parked
7:28
beside me? And like, like I said, there was
7:29
literally hardly anyone else in the, in the, in the rest area.
7:33
So I, I let it go for a little bit, think, well, maybe she's
7:36
doing something. I looked over again.
7:37
This car's parked right there with the light on.
7:40
There's people in it like man, something's up here.
7:43
So I didn't ask them about it. I just you know, it was a while,
7:46
it was a hour or so. So I just started the truck up
7:48
and and I left and then up the road not too far.
7:53
It was a weigh station in Maryland.
7:55
Well, here they were having a 72 hour crackdown on trucks.
7:58
So I had not easy pass, but easy pre pass where you can bypass
8:08
these weigh stations off the wall.
8:09
I'll just, well, what they do is they go on, they go on a, a
8:14
carrier's safety record and I was running with Martin.
8:17
Martin didn't have a good safety record.
8:19
They pulled me in. I told him what happened.
8:21
They pulled me around back. Well, he asked me to see my log
8:25
and I told him, I said, look, I'm running because here's what
8:28
happened up there not too far up the road here.
8:32
He said, oh, he says, oh, pull around back, pull around back,
8:36
come in. They said, now why you call the
8:39
cops? I said I'm not calling the cops,
8:40
just left. Well, like I said in Maryland
8:43
was having a 72 hour crackdown. I got the red light.
8:45
You got a red light and a green light for pre pass.
8:48
I got the red light pull in. So I got a shoot.
8:51
What was that? Almost a 300 hour fine and and
8:54
shut down for shut down for I'm out nowhere yet.
9:02
There's no nothing around there. 48 hours, no, 34 hours.
9:09
I guess it was 34 hours of shut down for it sucked.
9:13
Then they were assholes to me. They had they had they had a
9:15
snack machine there and that's it.
9:19
So yeah, they're definitely trying to hide their outer
9:22
service violations. But I had a legitimate reason
9:24
for leaving. I don't know what this fucking
9:25
people were doing. 20 and and the Commercial Vehicle Safety
9:29
Alliance petitioned the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
9:32
Administration in 20 through 2022 to create a maximum
9:37
distance and a timeline regarding a driver's personal
9:41
use of commercial motor vehicle of driver's personal use of a
9:48
commercial which which which was personal advance and both time
9:51
for petitions were denied. So stuttering again.
9:55
So the Federal Motor Care State Administration or the Commercial
9:59
Vehicle Safety Alliance petitioned the Federal Motor
10:01
Care State Administration to try to do that, give them a maximum
10:04
distance on personal conveyance and a time and a timeline how
10:08
long it's, you can use it, which that's common that they're going
10:11
to put something on there. Now I met, I ran into drivers
10:13
already that, that that told me that they could go like, see,
10:17
your carrier knows where you're at.
10:19
OK, your carrier knows where you're at, what, what what
10:23
you're doing, if you're off duty, whatever.
10:25
All that information goes to them through satellite link.
10:28
And I think they, these carriers already give their people like a
10:32
so many miles because that's their diesel.
10:34
I mean, if they're going 45 miles one way and then 45 miles
10:38
back in the morning to pick the trailer up, that's 90 miles.
10:41
What are you getting 7 miles a gallon per diesel gallon?
10:46
I mean, yeah. So they're paying the the
10:47
diesel. So they're not, they're they're
10:49
going to be watching that. I don't think they need to do
10:51
anything with this. So several examples of
10:54
appropriate use of personal conveyance.
11:00
So I'll read a couple of these. I wrote a bunch of them down and
11:02
said trucker mountain needs a printer and he needs Wi-Fi get I
11:11
got a new laptop wants a refurbished laptop sweat clean
11:14
help me out a lot of this but not get a printer but anyway OK
11:19
so several examples of proper use of personal conveyance are
11:22
time spent traveling from where drivers parked for the night to
11:28
restaurants and entertainment facilities.
11:31
So if he's parked at a say he's a shipper, he got shipped and
11:36
and and you're not in the park area let loaded, you can you can
11:39
disconnect and then drive to a restaurant, you know, or
11:46
somewhere that you know, that's in the area.
11:48
That's or somewhere someone tells you it's this is places
11:50
that something you're looking for.
11:51
Maybe at Walmart. Maybe you want to get, you know,
11:53
some food for your truck or things like that, some some
11:57
toiletry items and things such that's like, yeah, you know,
11:59
shower items. So commuting between drivers
12:03
terminal and his or her residence, connecting between
12:07
trailer drop lots and driver's residence and work sites and
12:10
driver's residence. So you have to drive between
12:14
terminal and their residence with the truck if, if, if or
12:18
trailer drop lot or work site. I guess if it's not too far and
12:22
then your carrier allows you to and that's legal.
12:26
So Tom's been traveling a nearby safe location to obtain rest
12:33
after lodging or unloading. Loading or unloading?
12:37
Yeah. Tom's spent after loading or
12:40
unloading. Run out of hours.
12:40
You wanted until a safe location to park.
12:42
You're allowed to do that. Tom's spent moving a commercial
12:45
motor vehicle. Request of a safety official.
12:49
So if if somebody told you that you got to move your truck, you
12:53
got to move your truck and use PC if you're at hours.
12:58
Todd's been traveling in a motor coach.
13:00
This is I guess for bus drivers without without passengers to
13:06
place of loading lodging, Mattel truck stop or rest or
13:11
entertainment facilities and back.
13:13
So if you're driving, yeah. So that's your motor coach is a
13:16
is a bus and when there's no passengers on board, you're
13:21
allowed to go to place of lodging, hotel or truck stop and
13:23
arrest and entertainment facilities and back with an
13:27
empty bus motor coach transport personal property while off
13:35
duty, you're allowed to do it with personal conveyance,
13:38
authorized use commercial vehicle to travel home after
13:41
working at all site location. So there's a lot a lot of lot of
13:44
good things you can use that for a lot of things.
13:47
It's legal for as long as it don't benefit the motor carrier
13:51
is what they're looking at. As long as you're not using, you
13:54
know, this to go to pretty much go farther and do more for the
13:58
motor carrier, then it's, it's, it's allowed under, under other
14:04
personal advance law. So it's just a bunch of them
14:09
that I, that I have that I wrote down that are legal.
14:14
So there we got. So there's also ones 8 scenarios
14:17
that would not qualify as legal for, for personal advance.
14:22
So bypassing available rest locations in order to go closer
14:25
to your next pick up or delivery or other carrier destinations
14:28
that would be, that would be benefiting the motor carrier.
14:31
Actually it would be benefiting you because you're getting
14:34
closer or you can get, you can get there.
14:37
And like I said, they're going to put, they're going to put
14:41
limitations on that. Like I said, the, the, the, the
14:44
carriers already know, carriers already know what, where you're
14:48
at, what, what line you're on, you know, and they also, oh,
14:52
they came up with, they weren't going to come up with another
14:54
line on your, on your ELD that is personal conveyance.
14:58
But that's, that's what I'm that the Commercial Vehicle Safety
15:01
Alliance wanted, wanted to do when they shot it down.
15:05
So, yeah, continuation of a commercial motor vehicle trip in
15:10
Interstate commerce in order to fulfill business purposes.
15:13
Yeah, benefit in the motor carrier.
15:16
Time spent driving up passenger carrying vehicle, time spent
15:26
driving a passenger carry. See, I can't read my writing.
15:32
Sometimes I need a printer while passengers on board.
15:35
Some time spent driving a passenger carrying commercial
15:39
motor vehicle while passengers on board.
15:42
So I guess if you're a bus driver, you're out of you're out
15:44
of hours. You're out of hours.
15:46
First, people on board this stuff, this is the illegal ones
15:50
right here. See, this is a little, a little
15:52
tongue Todd here. Time spent transporting
15:54
commercial motor vehicle to a facility to have vehicle
15:56
maintenance performed. I don't know why you can't do
15:59
that while in personal conveyance.
16:02
You're going to a facility to have vehicle maintenance
16:05
performed. And whereas you can probably say
16:09
it's your, your trailer, you can probably go to air, you know,
16:13
put your trailer in line or whatever and, and go to sleep.
16:17
I don't know why that would be. I don't know why that would be
16:22
illegal, but it is. So better example of of of a new
16:31
local use of personal advantages after being placed out of
16:34
service for exceeding the maximum periods under part 395
16:39
time spent driving 2 locations to get required rest unless
16:42
directed by enforcement officer. So if you've been placed out of
16:46
service like I was for running over hours, you can't use
16:50
personal conveyance to go to go to the rest area.
16:55
That's a fucking motor coach. I ain't reading that.
16:57
There's no regulations on personal conveyance.
17:00
OK. The Commercial Vehicle Safety
17:01
Alliance wants to regulate the time you can use PC and miles
17:05
driven and that's what they're trying to do.
17:07
Put a timeline on it and how many miles you can run.
17:12
Well, like I said, your, your carrier already knows how many
17:14
miles or whatever. It's very on top of that and you
17:18
can't violate one law to comply with another.
17:23
Oh, so a commercial motor vehicles driver's time, driver's
17:30
time is already over regulated in terms of when they can drive,
17:33
when they can rest, because there's so much, there's so many
17:37
laws and stipulations and that it's just, it's just, it drives
17:41
a lot of people out of the industry.
17:42
It really does. OIDA President Todd Spencer
17:47
wrote in comments to the Federal Motor Care Safety Administration
17:49
in 2024. There's be no additional
17:52
restrictions on how a driver can use their own personal time.
17:56
We have supported Federal Motor Carrier safety administrates,
17:58
denial of petitions that would establish personal advance
18:01
limits. So ODOIDA, which the owner
18:05
Operator Independent Driver Association supports to deny all
18:09
the petitions from from the Federal Motor Carrier shaped
18:13
administration. Yeah, because they're from the
18:15
driver. If the Commercial Commercial
18:20
Vehicle Safety Alliance wants to limit the driver's use of the
18:23
personal veins, the FM CSA must first provide data of negative
18:29
safety outcomes of it. So they just can't put the
18:33
kibosh's on it. They got they got to show proof
18:35
of of what it did you know of examples of or how it is
18:40
dangerous or or such. The CBCBSA, which I said is
18:46
commercial vehicle safety line, said that violation code 39580
18:51
IPS was added to roadside inspection software in June
18:54
2021. Enforcement officials have cited
18:58
3041 violations using that code through January 28th.
19:05
So they got 3 thousand 4141 violations.
19:12
I I call people using commercial or personal convents, that's
19:18
what I get out of it. So the violation code 395 was
19:22
added to roadside inspection software in June.
19:27
So yeah, so they got these guys got burnt.
19:29
Using personal convents for forcement, officials have cited
19:33
3041 violations using that code through January 28th.
19:39
However, FM SCAS said that the data shows violations for misuse
19:44
of personal advance are already being enforced.
19:48
So these violations of people are getting caught using this
19:53
without without these restrictions on it.
19:56
Violations for misuse and personal advance are already
19:58
being enforced, yes. Without these restrictions, like
20:02
I said, the preliminary violation data suggests
20:07
officials already identify drivers with hours, hours of
20:10
service violations, tongue tied today, hours of service
20:14
violations raised to the personal convinced misuse
20:17
without time or distance limits. So they're already on top of
20:20
this without put like again, without putting restrictions on
20:23
it. So Tucker Mott's final thoughts
20:27
leave personal conveyance alone. It's one of the nicest Nicases
20:32
that a road driver has to make his life just a little bit
20:36
better out there because there ain't many at all.
20:39
If he asked me halftime, you ain't good about run.
20:41
The road is the paycheck, which I made good money.
20:44
I don't know if everybody does, but I did.
20:47
You give you give up everything to do it, but I made good money
20:49
out there. I wish I could do it.
20:51
I can't never drive a road run again.
20:53
I brought a regular truck, a non CDL truck.
21:00
Believe me, there's not many. Industry needs this perk to
21:04
retain drivers and recruit more people into the truck driving
21:07
industry. That's truck drivers.
21:10
Final thought on the first part of my program and we will return
21:18
with the Iran Israeli conflict come on back which rock our
21:25
mouths. Military broadcast radio The
25:05
station that's giving veterans a voice.
25:08
Find us. On the web at MB radio dot.
25:13
Opinions expressed in this program are those of the
25:15
speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions
25:20
of any entities they represent. Hello everybody, Welcome back on
25:27
the road. I'm Trucker Mouth and now we're
25:32
going to discuss the second part of my show, which probably going
25:35
to be next week's full show. At least half of it is that Iran
25:40
Israeli conflict now in truck and mouths opinion is bad enough
25:44
that we have you know, Russia and Ukraine over there, OK And
25:52
then poor people in them countries are are getting blown
25:55
up this snack because there is no Geneva Convention laws.
25:58
No one abides bomb but the US like not blowing up civilian
26:01
areas. They do it and they all do it,
26:04
but us so did this one we'll talk about today and and and I
26:11
just hope that things don't really get bad because they
26:14
could with this Iran ain't no one to mess with because they're
26:18
in they're in alliance all the wrong with their with their
26:20
savage freaking countries over there.
26:23
So the Iran, Israeli conflict, the war has started a lot of it
26:29
back 1979. Is is ideological, political,
26:36
strategic and regional robberies after the Iranian revolution.
26:41
Say after the Iranian revolution things got bad between Israel
26:45
and Iran. So after the revolution, I told
26:49
Khamenei the new Islamic Republic took a strong anti
26:54
Israeli stance calling for elimination of the Zeist regime
26:59
after after the the revolution. Now I told the commander came in
27:04
there. That's when they didn't like
27:08
Israel is because Israel see Israel is a lot ally of ours,
27:11
but they're not in NATO because of our location.
27:14
To be a NATO, you got to be in Europe or in a certain region
27:19
and they're affiliated with NATO, they're protection for
27:23
peace or something like that. So, So Iran began supporting
27:30
groups opposed to Israel, especially Palestine and
27:32
Lebanon. Militants always funded and
27:35
armed Hezbollah and Hamas, which are both hostile to Israel.
27:42
So Iran always funded these groups and they hate Israel
27:47
because Israel aligns with us. A lot of times when I was in the
27:52
Navy, we had Israeli, Israelis just land on our carrier.
27:57
This is with what I heard. I mean, I've seen foreign ones.
27:59
They said it was Israelis. And we were actually stopped in
28:02
Israel. And Haifa, which is a seaport
28:06
there, we stopped in in Israel. So Iran's nuclear power
28:11
developed, raised alarm in Israel, which sees it as a
28:14
nuclear armed Iran, as an extremist threat.
28:20
Fuck. Well, hell yeah.
28:22
And you can't let Iran have nuclear power because they they
28:26
don't care. They don't they don't care who
28:30
they use that one. Iran has been accused of cyber
28:37
attacks like stuck neck, stuck net assassination of Iranian
28:41
scientists and air strikes on Iranian assets in Syria to stop
28:47
Iran nuclear capabilities and influence.
28:52
So they've been, they've been accused of cyber attacks and
28:56
assassinations of scientists and air strikes on Iranian shit.
29:01
Yeah. Stop the nuclear.
29:03
Yeah. We can't let we can't let them.
29:06
You know, from from Tehran, which is Iran's capital, to Tel
29:10
Aviv, Israel, which is which is Israel's major city.
29:14
And their distance is 1600 kilometers, approximately 1000
29:17
miles. So these countries don't don't
29:19
border each other. So these rockets are flying over
29:22
different countries if they're 1000 miles apart.
29:28
And, you know, why can't the US just just, you know, help them
29:31
with that, do like we're doing with, with Ukraine, Give them,
29:36
give them, give them the, the weapons of war.
29:38
Let them do the, the fighting. Because I don't, I don't want to
29:44
see us strike Iran. I don't like Iran.
29:47
I mean, they're in what, Iraq, you know, Afghanistan, all of
29:50
them. They're like the NATO, the bad,
29:52
the black market NATO. So, yeah, they're just quite,
30:02
you know, 1000 miles apart. These these these cities are we
30:08
let Iran have nuclear power. Here's what's going to happen.
30:17
That's what's going to happen. We give Iran nuclear power
30:21
because they might send it over here.
30:22
They don't know. People don't care.
30:23
They hate us. All them countries in the line
30:26
together hate us. They'd rather see us dead.
30:29
They cut Americans hands off. They don't care.
30:33
Iran's bordered by Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
30:39
Iran's, Iran is bordered by Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
30:42
Israel's much smart country on the Eastern Shore on the
30:45
Mediterranean Sea, bordered Lebanon.
30:47
Syria and Jordan. Yeah, they're on the
30:50
Mediterranean Sea, Eastern Shore.
30:51
We stopped there and said Haifa bordered Lebanon, Syria and
30:54
Jordan and Egypt. Lebanon's Lebanese people don't
30:59
like them. Syria.
31:00
No, I don't know about Georgia and I don't know about Egypt,
31:03
Peter. So Israel is pretty much
31:05
surrounded by countries that oppose them.
31:07
Israel are often aligned with the US and Sunni Arab states.
31:11
I guess that means like Saudi Arabia imagine and such such
31:18
such of countries like that. So do you know now there's
31:22
there's stuff here you probably didn't know.
31:24
Do you know that the US is not depending on Iraq oil but Iran
31:29
can't shit Iraq, Iran US is not depending on Iranian oil, but
31:35
Iran's Iran's impact on global oil prices.
31:39
So Iraq, Iran, again, like I said, Iraq, Iran has a lot of
31:45
influence on global oil prices, which means our gas prices,
31:50
because there's a lot of oil come out of Iran and, and, but
31:52
we don't do it. We're not dependent on Iran for
31:55
trade and trade is nearly existing with Iran because of
31:59
sanctions. So we don't do nothing with
32:00
Iran. US sees Iran more as a rival
32:05
than partner in the Middle East. Iran's actions can disrupt.
32:09
US interests, though, see, that's why we just can't go in
32:11
there and violate them. Plus it'd be all them, all them
32:16
innocent. People I don't want to see, I
32:18
don't want to see US bombing them.
32:21
I don't know, it's just me, but I think there's going to be
32:23
repercussions that there could be other countries getting
32:25
involved. Yemen.
32:28
I mean, you know, you know, Iraq's going to Afghan, whoever
32:32
else, anyone who do cheap shots. Top source you know the.
32:43
US. Is the world's.
32:45
Number one, oil. Producer United States is the
32:49
world's number one oil producer with 12 million barrels a day.
32:53
Most come from Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota and the
32:56
Gulf of Mexico. I never knew that.
33:00
Top source U.S. oil imports is. Domestic the US is the world's
33:04
number one oil producer. Why?
33:06
I never fucking knew that I probably no one else did.
33:08
Well, most people didn't either. US gets.
33:11
Most of the oil. From Canada actually.
33:14
So we won't put a lot of tariffs on that.
33:15
We're getting a lot of all the stuff we do import.
33:19
Canada is 61% of that, Mexico 10%, Saudi Arabia 5 to 7%,
33:25
followed by Colombia, Brazil. US gets no oil from Iran.
33:31
So we don't need nothing from him towheads over there.
33:33
Nothing. U.S. military.
33:37
There's 40. Thousand U.S. military troops in
33:40
the Middle East even after Pete Hezila authorized a voluntary
33:46
departure of all military dependents in the region.
33:48
And there's still 40,000 active duty troops in there.
33:54
So, Pete Hezla. Which is Defense Secretary last
33:56
week authorized voluntary departure of all military
33:59
dependence in the region. Anticipation of potential
34:05
threats. So there are, you know, we got
34:07
40,000 troops to watch out over there.
34:10
US ships warships. US ships warships in the Middle
34:14
East in response to Israeli strikes.
34:18
So here we are. We got the Navy involved.
34:23
This is going. To be, I mean.
34:25
This could turn out big and the. Reason it has several.
34:29
Major U.S. military bases UD Air Base in Qatar.
34:36
Is the regional headquarters. For U.S. central Command and.
34:40
Several in Kuwait. Which borders Iran.
34:44
So we have we have bases you. Know, I mean and and and and
34:48
and. The country, Qatar, a big air
34:50
base, was regional headquarters and then several in Kuwait,
34:53
which border right next to Iran. So we got in striking distance
34:56
right there here. Are Times reported US?
35:00
Intelligence assets assets have received Iran's plans to attack
35:04
US bases in the Middle East if US joins Israel's military
35:08
offense against Iran so. They're already gearing.
35:12
Up for a big fucking blow up man.
35:15
They're already gearing up for this.
35:20
Someone tried to get my door. Sound like counter direct.
35:25
US Naval. Officials directed 2 destroyers
35:28
to the East Mediterranean Sea for possible force protection
35:32
missions. So now we got 2 destroyers.
35:37
Other naval assets are on standby.
35:39
US also sending a second carrier strike group to the region.
35:42
So we got, you know, carrier groups out there, you know, and
35:47
destroyers and shit ready to blow stuff up.
35:49
Man, this is big. This can get real big and we can
35:51
loot. I mean, like I said, it's bad.
35:54
Enough with Russian. Kuwait, Israel and I don't know,
35:57
I guess see Israel's not in NATO because it's location, but it is
36:01
in in in a form of NATO with the protection for peace.
36:09
US has already begun direct support for Israel's Israelis
36:14
defense, helping interest intercept Iranian missiles.
36:19
You has already begun direct support, yeah, for Israel
36:22
defense intercepting Iranian missiles.
36:27
Aimed at Tel Aviv. And other cities after 2 adverse
36:31
2 adversities began exchanging missile attacks.
36:36
So we're already now. I see that you.
36:40
Know intercept. You know what I mean?
36:41
You give them, give them weapon, already have the weapons, they
36:44
intercepted missiles, but we can help them out with that.
36:47
So Trump said. I could tell you this, Iran got
36:50
a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate.
36:53
Hopefully they. Do hopefully all.
36:55
Iran negotiates and we're starting this this this here
36:58
conflict was was what Israel blew up nuclear uranium site or
37:03
something like that? Yeah, they got this going.
37:06
We can't let them have. We can't let them have nuclear
37:08
power. They're savages, man.
37:10
Look at the people who took down the towers.
37:11
What kind of people do that? Just kill thousands of people,
37:16
OK? So in truck and.
37:17
Mouse opinion Well blood has mailed truck and mouse.
37:24
Opinion, hopefully. Iran and Israel can come to
37:26
terms before we have another World War.
37:31
That just saved millions. Of lives, man.
37:33
And probably maybe a couple thousand of our own.
37:38
Who's that going to end up being boots on the ground, You know,
37:40
U.S. troops, boots on the ground.
37:43
