• 0:17
  Speaker 1: daylight saving time, only seventeen days until spring. It's practically here.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: No more cold weather. Yesterday was the last cold day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's in the forties today, and then from now on fifties, sixties,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and they'll even hits seventy and winter is gone. We'll
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: get you that all the latest we do, the latest
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: details on the war, exactly where we stand. We'll get
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to Texas, what happened last night, We got to Epstein
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and those crazy hearings. We'll get to congestion pricing, We'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: get to We had lots to talk about today. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: let me just give you a war update. Now. You
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: got these crazy Democrats, Chuck Schumer and others. Schumer I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: watched him yesterday. He said Donald Trump and his endless war.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's four days yesterday, endless war. I don't think four
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: days is endless. But Schumer, you know, trying to. He's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: an old, washed up Willie Lohman, old washed up, old
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: fossil old dinosaur, sad sort of a guy now in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the very end of his career, trying to look relevant.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You know, he got bigger glasses. He had these glasses.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Now he got the really big mister Magoo glasses. Maybe
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that'll help. It's not helping, but every time people see him,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I think it really really helps Trump when you see
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: this old fossil try to attack things.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: America wants this president to pay attention to the problems
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: at home, not the problems overseas, particularly when no one
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: has any idea of what the real rationale is. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: changes every hour.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Now, if Trump had launched some big thing at home,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Schumer would say, he's not paying attention to reis. It's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just a ridiculous guy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Which one is it, Donald Trump? Regime change, nuclear weapons, missiles,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: an imminent threat to the homeland, or a preemptive strike
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: to stop future attacks on the region.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the answer is yes, that's what it is. It's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: all of those things. I don't think he realizes what
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he's doing. He's so old. He's like an old tired fighter.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You know, Boxer keeps missing every punch misses. He just
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: listed like nine reasons why you want to go do this.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Let me give you the latest don Iraq, though here
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: this is right from the Pentagon all the latest. We
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: are originally talking about one week. Now they're talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: three weeks, four weeks, maybe even five weeks. But the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: reason for the extension is we're doing much better than
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we hoped. We didn't think it would be this easy. Now,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: remember you got the this has never happened before. You
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got the two best militaries in the world, the US
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and Israel, and Israel is the most highly skilled military
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in you could possibly have in the Middle East. Nobody
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: has better intelligence, better capabilities in the Middle East war.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So the two militaries combining, working side by side, it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: an unbelievable powerful combination. So not only we've not only
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: taken out all their weapons capability, we're now taking out
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all their manufacturing capability, so they won't be able to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: bring anything back. We're taken out all the leaders We've
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got all the top leadership. And now what they're going
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to do is go down the tiers, each level, take
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out each level of leadership all the way down. We've
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: taken out most of their weapons, ballistic missiles. They still
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have some, but most of them have been taken out.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: They still have some drones which are harder to get.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not, they were building them at a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: very very fast pace. That was the problem. They were
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: building ballistic missiles drones at a very fast pace. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: have now taken out the factories that build them, so
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: they can't keep building. We've taken away seventy five percent
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of their defensive capabilities two days ago, we took out
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: fifty percent of the defense and oh, actually offensive capabilities.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We've taken away seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Defense is gone. Seventy five percent of their offensive capabilities gone.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now when they fire those missiles, the reason one can
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: get through and hit Tel Aviv is they can send
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so many at the same time. Now, what they want
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to do when they send a salvo of missiles, to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: send fifty fifty and one salvo. It's hard for that
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: iron dome to stop. Fifty at once. They were down
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to thirty, and even at thirty one could get through.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So thirty at once it's very hard to stop. We've
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: taken out so much of their offensive capability. They're now
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: down to only two or three. That's all they can
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: sent in one salvo, two or three missiles, which is
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pretty harmless. The drones are being taken down, they do
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a little damage. Those are a little harder to take out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But we're getting it done. And as the Pentagon points out,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we've lost six six of our military and we owe
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it to them finished the job. It was a very
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: very very planned attack all of this. That's why it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: gone so well. That's they knew exactly what to hit.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The Israeli Air Force just struck a top Iranian meeting.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: You know, at the beginning, they took out all of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Tehran's senior clerics. They did it again yesterday, hit another
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: group of senior clerics. In fact, the group that was
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there to select a replacement for the Aetola senior officials.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: They were there to do the vote and who to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: replace the Ietola. Israel hit that building and took them out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: They called it the Assembly of Experts. It's a body
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of eighty eight members who got together to do this voting.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Strike took them all out and wiped out the building.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Also in Iran. You know, you forget so busy with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: all these other issues and things. Schumer just rattled off,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you forget the brutal oppression of women and other minorities.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: In Iran, women not allowed to do anything. You have
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to keep covered up at all times. Well, women were
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: seen yesterday in Iran taking off their hijabs and dancing
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: openly in the street. They would have been killed for
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that a week ago, but now they're doing it. It's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a great thing to see. The Iatola's son, the son
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of the Ayatola, was selected to replace him. He's fifty six.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: His name is Mujtaba ka Kama Nani. He's the son
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of the Ayatola. They have selected him to be the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: new leader. I would imagine his insurance company immediately cancel
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: his policy. How long would you give this guy to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: live he's the new leader. I would say one week
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: tops that this guy will be alive. He's known as
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: being a staunch advocate of his father's lunatic, hardline stuff.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: He has close ties to Iran's notoriously brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Now,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the thing is he had no official role in his
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: father's regime, but he was still sanctioned by the US
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. The appointment is actually unexpected. Again, he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: had no role. It's like Michael Corleone, who was not
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: part of the stuff all of a sudden getting the leadership.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And in Iran, they've always looked down on family succession,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: these Ayatolas. It's one thing they were against, is this
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: family succession, because that's what happened with the Shaw of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Iran and all that, and that was the monarchy they toppled.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to attack this thing like crazy, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they don't know what to do, so they're actually resorting
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to this old thing from one hundred years ago where
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: they do this you never served, you never served. For instance,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that guy that writes south Park that crazy whack up
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: now demanding Baron Trump be drafted to war. This is
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the They did this in the Gulf War. Remember, this
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is like from twenty years ago. If you didn't serve,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to go to war. And if you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: go to war, you better have your family. It's ridiculous.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: First of all, we don't have a draft anymore. Second
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of all, if you talk to Pentagon officials from any
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of the last four administrations, they'll tell you they do
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: not want to draft anybody. It's not like the old days.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You know, the Vietnam you were just looking for infantry
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: guys to march around with rifles. Today's armed forces are
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: so high tech, so computerized, that draftees are useless. You
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: need people to go through like a year or two
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of training. Drafting people doesn't work anymore. That's why they
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: don't do it. But you got this stuff going on.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow last night going after Trump for not serving.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He didn't serve, called him a bone spurs. Remember that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: was his thing about not serving, that he had bone spurs.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You know, for four years we had President Joe Biden,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: who never served, who claimed he had asthma and that's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: why he couldn't serve. If you read his five hundred
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: page biography of his whole life, there's not a word
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in there about asthma. Suddenly, when it was draft time
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he had asthma. Joe Biden got I think eight student
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: affirm it's more than Trump. But they've gone in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: attic and gotten this old old argument out of the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: closet about he didn't serve. He didn't serve. Remember the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Great election of two thousand and four, it was John
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Kerry against George Bush, and Carrie had been in the military.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: He had been in Vietnam, so he used that as
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: his campaign. I served, he didn't serve. I served, But
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: as it got to close to the election and people
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: start to look at this, a wait a minute. Carrie
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: served twenty six years ago. Thirty years ago, he was
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: in the thirty years ago, he was in the army
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: or the navy for a couple of months, and he
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: commanded a boat with eight people on it. And that's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: his service thirty years ago. And I looked at Bush.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The guy's been the commander in chief of the entire
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: US military for the last four years. I think that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: counts as more service than Carrie. President Trump spoke yesterday
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: about the war.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: They no longer have air protection, They no longer have
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: any detection facilities at all left, and so they're gonna
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: have they're going to be in for a lot of heart.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The air force is gone, their navy is completely gone.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Most of the people we had in mind are dead.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: So you know, we had some in mind from that
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: group that is is dead, and now we have another group.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: They may be dead also based on reports.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So I guess you have a third wave coming in. Yeah,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: now who's going to take over.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: With Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: No, actually, and this was a big mistake from Iran.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: From the beginning. They started attacking everybody in the Middle East,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Dubai and Saudi Arabia, these are their only possible allies,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and alien them immediately by attacking them.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Amazingly, they're hitting countries that were, you know, let's call
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: them neutral, right, they lived together for a long time.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: They I think they were surprised. I was surprised, I think.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: And now those countries are all fighting against them, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: fighting strongly against them. Yeah, we were having negotiations with
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: going to attack first. They were going to attack if
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: we didn't do it, they were going to attack first.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: I felt strongly about that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The keyword there is lunatics. You got to remember
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they were a bunch of lunatics. The Ayatola a lunatic,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: his son a lunatic. All those people run things a lunatic.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Now this was pretty interesting. He asked them, well, what
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: if this is all over, it'll be over soon. What's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the worst possible outcome?
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I guess the worst case would be we do this
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: and then somebody takes over. Who's as bad as the
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: previous person. Right, that could happen. We don't want that
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: to happen.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a pretty honest answer. Now you got to remember,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know, Democrats do what they always do. If a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Republican does a bombing thing, they all start to yell
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it's a violation, it's illegal. You violated this, You violated that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You got to get the war powers that. None of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: this is true legally, constitutionally, none of that's true. It's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: just nonsense. You got to remember Barack Obama was twenty eleven,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: did the same thing in Libya. He wanted to take
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: out Kadafi. Rebels were rising up. We wanted to help
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the rebels. So Obama launched the same sort of attack
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: bombing Libya. Every Democrat immediately put out a statement, thank
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: God for his device decisive action. Look at how great
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he is. Decisive, he's acting, Look at him protecting the free.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: There's just exact opposite of today. That's one thing about
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: these democrats they have They have no shame. They could
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: tell you one thing an hour later, if Trump does it,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you how awful it is. It's the most
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: disgusting thing in the world. Yeah, but you were just
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for it for the last ten years. They couldn't care less.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: They'll say anything everything Trump does, closing the border, deporting illegals,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: getting rid of the show. This is everything the Democrats
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: have been promising to do for thirty years. All they
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: did was promise this stuff, and they're furious that somebody
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: actually did it now for two reasons, One because it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Trump and they hate him. And two, if you get this,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: if they don't have a campaign issue anymore. Now, Hey,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: speaking of campaigns, Texas, Jasmine Crockett lost lost badly in
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the runoff. There new guy, this is the new hotshot Democrat,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Tall Rico. He's only thirty six, wiped out Jasmine crocket
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and a typical Democrat. You know, if you say the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: election was rigged, you should immediately be arrested and go
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to jail, just like Trump. Now she's saying the election
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was rigged. It was rigged. However, she was crying voter suppression.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: There was a court ruling about keeping the polls open
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a little later voter suppression or closing the polls early
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: voter suppression. Although everybody's looking at the number she got
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: wiped out by a huge amount. There's no amount of
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: suppression or tamper. And there's no amount that could have
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: made up this gap. She was just completely wiped out.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Now the thing is tallar Rico. This is the new
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: hotshot Democrat. Remember this is the guy Colbert wanted to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: have on and the Democrats said, you gotta have both on.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: You can't have just one on. So Tall Rico one
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: big with Hispanics. That's a big thing because Democrats had
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: completely lost Hispanic voters. So in the general election, this
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is encouraging Democrats because he did so well with Hispanics.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's got a shot in Texas. Anyway, we'll
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: get back to the war, We'll get to Epstein, We'll
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: get to congestion pricing. Hey, big announcement this morning. Curtis
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Sliwa will become part of the Morning Show. He will
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: be the co host of the Morning Show starting Monday.

• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Joining with you, Larry and the crew there at woor,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I come back to what people have been asking me
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to do ever since I lost the election on November fourth,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: A lot of people said, when are you getting back,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: When are you getting back to talk radio?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Well, Monday, Monday. Right here you can hear Curtis six
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to ten starting Monday. That's great news. And yeah, we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: actually the oldest talk radio station in America. Actually talk
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: radio started here. This is the station that invented and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: originated talk radio one hundred's one hundred and three hundred
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and four years ago, I think one hundred and four
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: years ago. One hundred and four years ago invented talk
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: radio here. Then in the nineteen forties, one of the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: talk show it's a young guy named Barry Gray. Nobody
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: had ever done this for it before he put a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: phone call on the area. It was very primitive back then.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You almost had to hold the phone up to the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: microphone you could barely hear the caller. But he was
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the first one to put a caller on the air,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and I think it was nineteen forty seven, so everything
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: was invented here at wor Hey, we'll take some calls
• 16:16
