"When the Cows Come Home" (Tuesday, March 03, 2026, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:05
Speaker 1: I'm done.
0:06
Speaker 2: If you guys are doing that, I have done on
0:08
Speaker 2: a needs a know basis, because you need to know
0:12
Speaker 2: the first thing today.
0:13
Speaker 3: Hold me in contempt from now to the cow's in
0:15
Speaker 3: the hall.
0:16
Speaker 4: George said, steal metem.
0:18
Speaker 5: You have a day at least for work. When the
0:22
Speaker 5: sun comes up, drops a pet to school. Joey is
0:26
Speaker 5: everything adder all the.
0:28
Speaker 6: JERSU needs no one that Joe's smile.
0:33
Speaker 5: He only as.
0:38
Speaker 1: Joe, which I'm told is like between three and four am.
0:44
Speaker 1: Jeh kareem right telling us when the cows generally come
0:49
Speaker 1: home is between three and four a m. Which makes
0:52
Speaker 1: them an awful lot like college students. There there might
0:56
Speaker 1: be a biological survey necessary. They're comparing college students to
1:02
Speaker 1: the bovine denizens of a rural community because they both
1:05
Speaker 1: seem to come home about the same time. There. Thank
1:08
Speaker 1: you for letting us be of service to you this morning.
1:11
Speaker 1: That is video that was I don't know if leaked.
1:16
Speaker 1: Can you leak something that everyone had planned on putting
1:19
Speaker 1: out anyway? I guess it was in advance. But everyone
1:25
Speaker 1: is claiming that the Clinton videos were released to take
1:28
Speaker 1: the pressure off of Donald Trump for bombing Iran. I
1:34
Speaker 1: don't know. President Trump did a pretty good job yesterday
1:37
Speaker 1: talking about it to a room full of the press,
1:40
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure where the whole hiding from it
1:43
Speaker 1: came from. There, Joel was on the phone, was heading
1:46
Speaker 1: to news. He's worried about boots on the ground becoming
1:51
Speaker 1: necessary in Iran as the conflict continues. Joel, So you're
1:59
Speaker 1: worry especially Cutter. Cutter's toothfacee and we have a base there.
2:04
Speaker 7: But and then the United air under it's they've they've
2:07
Speaker 7: been kind of toothfast too. But and of course we
2:11
Speaker 7: can't really trust the Saudis, but you know that we
2:14
Speaker 7: provide them with more aircraft. And now I guess Cutter
2:17
Speaker 7: is training. But I think a lot of those nations
2:20
Speaker 7: are realizing that, I don't know if they're going to
2:22
Speaker 7: stay radical, you know, have radicals in there, but they're
2:25
Speaker 7: realizing that if they really want commerce, you can't have
2:28
Speaker 7: commerce with all that all that DS going on.
2:31
Speaker 1: Well, you know, but also it's it's the I don't know,
2:35
Speaker 1: if you were ever bullied as a kid, yes, okay,
2:40
Speaker 1: so you you get what I'm going to say here.
2:43
Speaker 1: When you find out that somebody is on your side,
2:47
Speaker 1: it makes it a lot easier to be brave. And
2:50
Speaker 1: I think under the Biden administration and certainly the Obama administration,
2:54
Speaker 1: the idea that Iran was going to have a long
2:57
Speaker 1: leash when it came to its ruckus, that it would
2:59
Speaker 1: cause in the area. You know, they then you're going
3:04
Speaker 1: to get countries saying I'm not I agree with you,
3:07
Speaker 1: but I can't say I agree with you because they're
3:11
Speaker 1: just afraid of retribution. But with Trump, it certainly seems
3:15
Speaker 1: like these countries feel like with ironically the US and
3:20
Speaker 1: Israel at their back, they can tell Iran what to
3:24
Speaker 1: go do with themselves. So offwards inwards, Joel, thank you
3:30
Speaker 1: for hanging in there with us. First things, this morning,
3:33
Speaker 1: Iran has struck the US embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital
3:37
Speaker 1: with a drone strike. Today. They have also claimed a
3:41
Speaker 1: drone strike to set a blaze and tanker a fuel
3:47
Speaker 1: tanker in the Strait of Hormuz across Iran's capital and Tehran.
3:52
Speaker 1: Explosions rang out overnight as more US and Israeli ordnance
3:57
Speaker 1: came reigning down on the Iranian capital. After the attacks began,
4:02
Speaker 1: President Trump was asked yesterday to further explain his thinking
4:10
Speaker 1: in why it was necessary to start bombing Iran.
4:17
Speaker 8: The regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically,
4:23
Speaker 8: and this posed a very clear, colossal threat to American
4:26
Speaker 8: air forces stationed overseas.
4:30
Speaker 1: The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, where Iranians supported
4:33
Speaker 1: Hezbola has fired missiles into Israel and Israel has struck back.
4:39
Speaker 1: In the southern region of Beirut suburbs, the Hezbola aligned
4:43
Speaker 1: Almanar Channel was struck by missile fire. The United Kingdom
4:49
Speaker 1: has decided after forty eight hours to stand with the
4:52
Speaker 1: United States, authorizing the use of British military bases to
4:56
Speaker 1: support American defensive operations aimed at Iranian missile capabilities. The
5:02
Speaker 1: State Department has urged Americans to immediately leave more than
5:07
Speaker 1: a dozen countries in the Middle East, warning of quote
5:10
Speaker 1: serious safety risks. The twenty twenty six midterm season begins
5:16
Speaker 1: today in Texas and North Carolina runoff primaries in both
5:20
Speaker 1: the Democratic and Republican Party in the Sovereign State of
5:24
Speaker 1: Texas As both James Tallerico in a polling average, has
5:30
Speaker 1: a ten point plus lead over Jasmine Crockett and former
5:35
Speaker 1: Attorney General Ken Paxton has a four point lead over
5:39
Speaker 1: four term incumbent Senator John Cornyn. North Carolina's primary pitts
5:48
Speaker 1: the chairman former chairman of the RNC, Michael Wattley, up
5:57

12:56
Speaker 4: It's on Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today
13:15
Speaker 4: by Joe Thomas.
13:17
Speaker 1: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
13:19
Speaker 1: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
13:23
Speaker 1: is the phone number. You can also text message there
13:26
Speaker 1: once we tell you the news of the day which
13:28
Speaker 1: we've accomplished. You can join in with us and we
13:33
Speaker 1: will get you in here. But first I want to
13:36
Speaker 1: talk with James Lunk, our friends at jcsgold dot com. James,
13:40
Speaker 1: how are you, sir.
13:42
Speaker 11: I'm doing well, Joe, and we're having a little bit
13:44
Speaker 11: of a pullback in gold and silver this morning. Uh
13:48
Speaker 11: gold is down about two hundred quarter of percent, down
13:51
Speaker 11: one hundred and twenty dollars to five thy two hundred
13:54
Speaker 11: and two dollars. It was just slightly over fifty three
13:58
Speaker 11: hundred dollars by the end of the day yesterday. A
14:01
Speaker 11: little bit choppy for gold during the day, but not
14:06
Speaker 11: quite as choppy yesterday as it was for silver. Silver
14:09
Speaker 11: had an eight percent down swing and then it was
14:11
Speaker 11: positive again. But it is down nine percent so far
14:15
Speaker 11: today to eighty one dollars and fifteen cents. You're seeing
14:19
Speaker 11: quite a bit of volatility in the silver market, more
14:22
Speaker 11: so compared to gold, with everything that's unfolded and release.
14:26
Speaker 1: So it sort of seems to track along that sentiment like,
14:30
Speaker 1: oh crap. Everyone grabs, you know, their wallets a little
14:34
Speaker 1: tighter when something like this goes down, especially after what
14:37
Speaker 1: most of my adult life being told that we can't
14:40
Speaker 1: you do anything about Iran because you can't go to
14:42
Speaker 1: war in the Middle East. So most American adults probably
14:47
Speaker 1: grew up hearing that and to see it existentially roll
14:51
Speaker 1: out on primetime television probably set everyone off a little bit.
14:55
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, today we're waking up saying, well,
15:00
Speaker 1: all right, it seems pretty normal. I mean, there's some
15:03
Speaker 1: security increases here there and around, especially if you're driving
15:07
Speaker 1: around Palm Springs, expectedly in Washington, d C. But I
15:12
Speaker 1: think people are kind of getting back to where we
15:14
Speaker 1: saw it last week. I mean, this is kind of
15:16
Speaker 1: right where that floor we were talking about.
15:18
Speaker 11: James, Yeah, this is you know, somewhat of a breaker,
15:23
Speaker 11: a make or brake level here for silver. You know,
15:26
Speaker 11: typically when something like this past weekend happens, it's a
15:31
Speaker 11: risk off event, and people flood into precious metals. They
15:35
Speaker 11: fled into things that they see is safe investments, and
15:39
Speaker 11: gold and silver are safe investments because they're not very volatile.
15:43
Speaker 11: And I think that's why gold has performed a little
15:46
Speaker 11: bit better, is because gold has been historically where people
15:50
Speaker 11: go to say, Okay, I'm not really sure what's going on.
15:53
Speaker 1: I got a lot of uncertainty out there.
15:55
Speaker 11: I want to hold gold, you know, which has been
15:59
Speaker 11: its role financially for centuries. So it's interesting to see silver,
16:04
Speaker 11: but it's it's bouts around to any one more monitor
16:06
Speaker 11: throughout the rest of the day today. And you know,
16:08
Speaker 11: it's another one of those opportunities that could be a
16:10
Speaker 11: great buying buying the dip opportunity.
16:13
Speaker 1: The expertise earned through four generations of working in the
16:17
Speaker 1: gold and silver world. And not a call center at all.
16:20
Speaker 1: Just call James and his folks and there are a
16:23
Speaker 1: couple of staffers there at jcsgold dot com and they
16:26
Speaker 1: will talk to you. There's no waiting for the next
16:28
Speaker 1: available operator. As they say, James, you have a great morning, sir.
16:33
Speaker 1: Thanks show you too again. That number is four three
16:36
Speaker 1: four nine seven nine co I N which if you're
16:41
Speaker 1: looking forward on your keypad is two six for six,
16:45
Speaker 1: so nine two six for six for jcsgold dot com.
16:50
Speaker 1: We've had folks ringing in. If we didn't get to you,
16:53
Speaker 1: it is because James was online. Sorry, some folks didn't
16:56
Speaker 1: get put on hold, so please jolly back in to us.
17:00
Speaker 1: Three four eight eight two four two one seven Good morning.
17:04
Speaker 1: Who's this hey?
17:06
Speaker 18: Joe, it's Clark.
17:07
Speaker 1: Oh morning Clark. How are you, sir?
17:10
Speaker 24: I'm all right before we get the real stuff, this
17:12
Speaker 24: business about holding Hillary in contempt until the cows go home. Yeah,
17:20
Speaker 24: they should have just held her in contempt while she
17:22
Speaker 24: was there.
17:24
Speaker 1: I imagine some of the Republicans that are already held
17:27
Speaker 1: her in contempt. Uh, but I think she meant legally.
17:31
Speaker 24: Yeah, she's pretty contemptible. Hey, while we're talking about contemptible,
17:37
Speaker 24: have you asked yourself why is the left so unhinged
17:45
Speaker 24: over the actions we're taken towards Iran right now? Have
17:48
Speaker 24: you thought about that? Why are they so unhinged? I
17:51
Speaker 24: got a list, Joe.
17:53
Speaker 1: Well, I know that President Trump said yesterday that if
17:57
Speaker 1: Joe Biden or Barack Obama or Tamala Harris or Gavin Newsom,
18:02
Speaker 1: if a Democrat was president and they did what they
18:05
Speaker 1: did in Iran, all these folks would be in line
18:09
Speaker 1: with doing it. The Tim Kaines, the Mark Warners, the
18:12
Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, they might not be.
18:15
Speaker 26: Joe.
18:16
Speaker 24: I gave some thought to this, And you know the
18:19
Speaker 24: first thing you have to wonder, do left this in
18:24
Speaker 24: America feel an admiration or a kinship for people that
18:29
Speaker 24: can openly chant death to.
18:30
Speaker 27: America in the street.
18:32
Speaker 24: And partly probably that's the reason they're so upset here.
18:37
Speaker 24: But is it because the left longs for the day
18:41
Speaker 24: that they too could murder tens of thousands of insurrectionists
18:47
Speaker 24: and election deniers? That's part of it? Is it because
18:52
Speaker 24: as demo Marxist they feel a kinship for islamo Marxist
19:00
Speaker 24: That's part of it? Is it because the loss of
19:04
Speaker 24: Iranian oil severely impacts the American left Chicon sponsorship? Partly,
19:12
Speaker 24: but you know the biggest reason show they act like
19:15
Speaker 24: this is an existential threat. Why because an existential threat
19:21
Speaker 24: means it's a threat to their existence.
19:24
Speaker 1: Now, do you think about this.
19:29
Speaker 24: Going into mid terms? If Donald Trump has turned around
19:35
Speaker 24: the economy and the left wants to talk about affordability,
19:38
Speaker 24: and you know what, there are affordability issues, and they're
19:41
Speaker 24: all in blue cities and blue states where blue policies
19:46
Speaker 24: are making things unavoidable. You go other places and things
19:50
Speaker 24: are going quite well.
19:51
Speaker 27: So if he goes.
19:53
Speaker 24: In with affordability or the economy, and and we've gotten
20:02
Speaker 24: a handle on immigration and now we've taken care of
20:07
Speaker 24: this Iranian situation, that's been festering for forty seven years.
20:13
Speaker 27: They're done well.
20:15
Speaker 24: It is literally an existential threat.
20:18
Speaker 1: I guess that you know what they could use, Not
20:20
Speaker 1: that I want to do campaign opposition research for the Democrats,
20:24
Speaker 1: but I think you know what they would then use
20:27
Speaker 1: is the increased oil prices. Oil was up I think
20:30
Speaker 1: seventy eight and eighty dollars a barrel yesterday. I think
20:34
Speaker 1: it may have come down a little bit. But they're
20:38
Speaker 1: going to point the higher gasoline prices, They're going to
20:41
Speaker 1: point to higher electric bills. They're going to point to
20:44
Speaker 1: all the things that you pointed out are within their
20:47
Speaker 1: control and blame it on Donald Trump, and they'll see
20:53
Speaker 1: if that works. They they're not going to have the
20:55
Speaker 1: runaway blue wave that they thought they did. They were
20:59
Speaker 1: going to, but they're all they need is, you know, uh,
21:05
Speaker 1: a one seat majority and they can start running the
21:09
Speaker 1: I mean, they already practically act like they run the
21:12
Speaker 1: US House of Representatives agenda, even in the minority, because
21:16
Speaker 1: they aren't afraid of lawyering up and using parliamentary procedure
21:20
Speaker 1: all the things that you know Republicans get squinchy over
21:26
Speaker 1: all that all Hikim Jefferies needs is that one extra
21:29
Speaker 1: seat to make him speaker and it's Johnny bar the door.
21:34
Speaker 1: It's going to be impeachment over Iran. And then if
21:36
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, it's going to be impeachment over emoluments.
21:40
Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, it's going to be impeachment over ice.
21:44
Speaker 1: You know, you name it. The HIKM. Jefferies has got
21:47
Speaker 1: a file fold or fill filled with impeachment documents and
21:52
Speaker 1: he's just going to start charging Trump with everything.

28:14
Speaker 18: from Joe Thomas it's first thing today.
28:27
Speaker 1: You gotta be, don't you. Your son just grabs you
28:30
Speaker 1: and shakes you by the lapelle. Don't isn't it?
28:33
Speaker 4: Oh?
28:34
Speaker 1: Yeah? Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
28:37
Speaker 1: We're gonna go inside what's going on in Iran in
28:41
Speaker 1: a little bit. But John down on the Treasure Coast
28:44
Speaker 1: listening at w T TV, he's got a thought for us. John,
28:48
Speaker 1: thank you for hanging on the line. How are you
28:50
Speaker 1: doing this morning?
28:52
Speaker 31: I'm well, I'm still vertical.
28:54
Speaker 1: Amen to that, brother, So what is your thought? You
28:56
Speaker 1: had a question about Iran?
29:00
Speaker 31: Yes, what as Iran? The the citizens that I ran,
29:04
Speaker 31: the citizens of Cuba and the citizens of them as well,
29:07
Speaker 31: all have in common. And the answer is none of
29:12
Speaker 31: them were allowed to own, own or bear firearms. They've
29:16
Speaker 31: been light back in tyranny.
29:18
Speaker 1: When the amen to that, and we you know, that's
29:22
Speaker 1: always been my point. Let's just air drop firearms to
29:26
Speaker 1: all the civilians and see how long these thug dictators
29:30
Speaker 1: get to rule. I mean, if we really truly believe
29:32
Speaker 1: in the Second Amendment the way we say we do,
29:36
Speaker 1: then that would be my first thing to do is
29:38
Speaker 1: go in and teach every adult, male and female how
29:41
Speaker 1: to fire a rifle and a handgun sufficiently enough to
29:45
Speaker 1: make the Republican card, as they call it. You think
29:49
Speaker 1: twice about good stuff, my friend.
29:52
Speaker 31: Thank you, Joe, and thanks for thanks for picking up
29:55
Speaker 31: on my call.
29:56
Speaker 1: Not at all, thank you for making it. That's the thing.
29:59
Speaker 1: There joining us now a man who's got some expertise
30:01
Speaker 1: in the field, and he's the documentary presenter of the
30:06
Speaker 1: film Exile, which at some point is going to see
30:09
Speaker 1: the light of day. Man if this merger between well,
30:14
Speaker 1: Netflix has all this extra money it didn't spend on
30:16
Speaker 1: buying Warner Brothers, so maybe they can produce and put
30:20
Speaker 1: it up on their screen there. It certainly seems like
30:23
Speaker 1: pickens are slim on Netflix these days, so they should
30:27
Speaker 1: put Exile up on there. He is a Virginia delegate,
30:31
Speaker 1: but former Congressman Tom Garrett, where he comes to have
30:34
Speaker 1: some expertise, but also former army officer as well, has
30:39
Speaker 1: seen a thing or two in theater. As they say,
30:41
Speaker 1: how are you doing, Tom.
30:44
Speaker 27: I'm well, Joe. It's a fascinating time to be alive.
30:50
Speaker 27: There's so much going on. I guess if I'm going
30:52
Speaker 27: to self credential during my time on the House Foreign
30:55
Speaker 27: Affairs Committee kind of in a relatively short time alongside
31:00
Speaker 27: former accounishment Ted Poe of Texas became the Iran guy.
31:04
Speaker 27: And so so I know a little bit more about
31:08
Speaker 27: this than perhaps I'm comfortable with frankly, But yeah.
31:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the trouble with being on these intel committees
31:17
Speaker 1: is you know things that you can't tell everybody, which
31:20
Speaker 1: means you have to sit on it. I bet, I
31:22
Speaker 1: bet you. You have more nights like I had last night,
31:25
Speaker 1: waking up every couple of hours from a night's sleep.
31:28
Speaker 1: So what is it? What do we know? I've made
31:32
Speaker 1: the point that I'm sure there is currently an Ayatola
31:35
Speaker 1: even if he is, you know, an Ayatola pro tem,
31:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure they don't have only one, that there's a
31:42
Speaker 1: line of succession. So taking out Alijmeni isn't the end
31:47
Speaker 1: of the story, is it?
31:49
Speaker 27: Well, certainly not. And I'll make it an observation that's
31:52
Speaker 27: true of humanity, and that is the power doesn't voluntarily
31:55
Speaker 27: relinquish itself. And so there's the first thing. The thing
32:00
Speaker 27: I want to do first, if you'll let me, is
32:02
Speaker 27: go back in time fifty years. If I were teaching
32:05
Speaker 27: foreign policy, I would use Iran twenty twenty six as
32:11
Speaker 27: sort of the how to guide on how to not
32:14
Speaker 27: do US foreign policy. And I'm I'm obviously partisan my politics,
32:20
Speaker 27: but a nonpartisan assessment shows from seventy six to twenty
32:25
Speaker 27: six we've really never seen a country a party, the
32:30
Speaker 27: Democrat Party in the United States so single handedly mouddled
32:34
Speaker 27: a foreign policy area. Let's start in seventy six, when
32:38
Speaker 27: you've got the former Soviet Union asserting pressure against the
32:42
Speaker 27: shaw of Iran. It was a Western leaning ally on
32:45
Speaker 27: a Russian Soviet border. It was a powerful and emerging
32:50
Speaker 27: economy relative to its neighbors, very much so. The Soviets
32:55
Speaker 27: come in. The Carter administration is at least tacitly sympathetic
33:02
Speaker 27: to the idea that the Shah needed to be removed
33:04
Speaker 27: and replaced. You had the Tutor Party, which was a
33:08
Speaker 27: Marxist party in Irun that was affiliated and aligned with
33:13
Speaker 27: the Muslim extremists, until, of course, the Muslim extremist took
33:17
Speaker 27: power and started killing them a few years after it started.
33:20
Speaker 27: That relationship salary kind of like the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.
33:24
Speaker 27: Then you go through Reagan, who I think you could
33:27
Speaker 27: blame for not doing more. But if you look at
33:29
Speaker 27: Desert one and what was going on in the world
33:31
Speaker 27: and sort of the infante nature of the Iranian regime,
33:35
Speaker 27: I think there might have been a sentiment that it
33:37
Speaker 27: would take care of itself. Then you get to the
33:41
Speaker 27: Cliptman administration, which really sort of ignored the Iranian ties
33:45
Speaker 27: to things like cope our towers, where nineteen US airmen
33:49
Speaker 27: were killed. You get to the first goal for or
33:53
Speaker 27: the second goal four post nine to eleven, where if
33:55
Speaker 27: you look at the map you see Afghanistan and rock
34:00
Speaker 27: and wedged in the middle of Iran. I would contend
34:02
Speaker 27: that the policy was to get to the root of
34:05
Speaker 27: the problem, which was the political sentiment within the nation
34:11
Speaker 27: evaporating before that could be done, and that was led
34:15
Speaker 27: logely by the Democratic Party trying to underrun the George W.
34:18
Speaker 27: Bush administration. You get to one point six billion and
34:23
Speaker 27: palatized cash being given to the Mullahs by the Obama administration.
34:28
Speaker 27: You get to then Uranium one, which the media is
34:31
Speaker 27: pretty much swepting of the rug. But if you go
34:33
Speaker 27: into the congressional record, the public data, we know that
34:36
Speaker 27: millions and millions of dollars were spent by the Russians
34:40
Speaker 27: and Hillary Clinton herself took half a million dollars to
34:42
Speaker 27: go speak in Russia and then have dinner and spend
34:46
Speaker 27: a Avish weekend with Putin. All the skits forgotten. But
34:50
Speaker 27: this is stuff that's documented in true right. There's amiliuranium
34:53
Speaker 27: one scandal. Then you get to the Biden administration which
34:56
Speaker 27: unfreezes another sixteen billion in assets and giving them money
35:01
Speaker 27: is pungible. We're essentially, over the course of those twenty
35:04
Speaker 27: years funding the Iranian nuclear development program. We've ignored the
35:10
Speaker 27: murder of what would be adjusted for population differences. That
35:14
Speaker 27: bunch just somelf of a million Iranians by their own regime.
35:18
Speaker 27: If you've looked at the news from around the world,
35:23
Speaker 27: or at least unbiased news, you see Iranians celebrating on one, two, three,
35:27
Speaker 27: four or five different continents. The deposition they think of
35:32
Speaker 27: uiansholl up. And that's because the diaspor was so big
35:35
Speaker 27: that there are millions of Iranians who had to get
35:37
Speaker 27: out or die. And I don't know that the Democrat
35:40
Speaker 27: Party has been right on around once in the last
35:42
Speaker 27: fifty years. The Republican Party has been hitting Miss Trump
35:48
Speaker 27: really has found himself confronting what I would say is
35:52
Speaker 27: an existential threat to Western civilization. And before you think
35:55
Speaker 27: that that's an overstatement, and that skipped the embarrassed bombing
35:59
Speaker 27: in eighty three, which was two hundred and forty three
36:01
Speaker 27: ethnic American service members, primarily Marines but also so may
36:04
Speaker 27: be killed. That was on a Republican's watch. But I
36:09
Speaker 27: think that the sort of ball was rolling down the
36:14
Speaker 27: hill there trying to be even an inclusive So this
36:16
Speaker 27: is a fifty year lesson than held not to do
36:18
Speaker 27: foreign policy. So back to what I was saying, is
36:21
Speaker 27: in an existential threat, I mean yesterday's dumb truck or
36:26
Speaker 27: or cement extra filled with IDs or exposed it is
36:30
Speaker 27: conceivably to tomorrow's containership with the nuclear device in the
36:35
Speaker 27: port of Norfolk or New York Harbor. And so this
36:39
Speaker 27: is that's where we are, right And when a regime
36:42
Speaker 27: has been yelling death to America very publicly since seventy nine,
36:45
Speaker 27: at some point perhaps you start to take them seriously.
36:48
Speaker 1: So well, you know, you paid a picture, you know,
36:52
Speaker 1: and having worked in Buffalo and of course been on
36:56
Speaker 1: the air, I was on the air when the bombing
36:59
Speaker 1: at the Murrow building took place. You know, the thought
37:03
Speaker 1: of somebody taking you know, the McVeigh model, which is
37:06
Speaker 1: a container full of explosives and just parking it somewhere
37:10
Speaker 1: and going boom. You know, with Iran's nuclear capabilities, uh,
37:16
Speaker 1: and their ability to you know, you know, grab a ship,
37:20
Speaker 1: hijack a ship, get a sympathetic ship. I mean, that's
37:23
Speaker 1: that's as frightening as anything I remember growing up during
37:27
Speaker 1: the Cold War and mainly and I want to ask
37:30
Speaker 1: you this. We've got a break coming up here. Tom Garrett,
37:32
Speaker 1: a former member of the House Intelligence Committee not Intel,
37:37
Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs, Foreign Affairs, known as the Iran Guy in
37:42
Speaker 1: his day, giving us kind of a primer on that.
37:45
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you about, you know, the
37:49
Speaker 1: ideology that protected us during the Cold War that I
37:52
Speaker 1: think some people you talk about whistling past the graveyard
37:56
Speaker 1: in foreign policy are doing with Iran and new When
38:00

39:07
Speaker 16: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
Speaker 16: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:18
Speaker 16: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
Speaker 16: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
Speaker 16: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
Speaker 16: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
Speaker 16: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
Speaker 16: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
Speaker 16: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

41:01
Speaker 2: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
Speaker 2: with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
41:06
Speaker 2: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
Speaker 2: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Speaker 2: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:14
Speaker 2: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:17
Speaker 2: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
41:20
Speaker 2: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
41:23
Speaker 2: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
41:26
Speaker 2: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
41:29
Speaker 2: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:32
Speaker 2: they also perform life saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 21: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 2: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom.

Speaker 25: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:05
Speaker 30: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:10
Speaker 15: heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 1: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 30: Good thing?
42:14
Speaker 15: Is he knows when he's buzzed, and my brain is
42:16
Speaker 15: saying when it's time to go home, Somebody.

Speaker 12: Love that guy, me too.

42:31
Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35

Speaker 6: On a need to know basis, because you need to
44:16
Speaker 6: know the first thing today, I.
44:30
Speaker 1: Wait, what now? Yeah, we're visiting with former Member of
44:46
Speaker 1: the House Foreign Affairs Committee Tom Garrett, talking about what
44:51
Speaker 1: is going on in Iran right now. I want to
44:55
Speaker 1: get into the strait of horror moves and the arning
45:00
Speaker 1: tanker there this morning. But I left you off with
45:03
Speaker 1: a thought, Tom, pickoff where we left off on on
45:06
Speaker 1: the you know, the the the ignorance we've shown towards
45:11
Speaker 1: Iran and what does it tell us about what we
45:14
Speaker 1: might see next.
45:18
Speaker 27: I'm not trying to be hyperpartisan. I don't think that
45:20
Speaker 27: we've shown ignorance. I think the Democrat Foreign policy for
45:23
Speaker 27: the last fifty years has been profiles and ignorance. Where
45:28
Speaker 27: it's likely to end up.
45:30
Speaker 1: I don't know.
45:30
Speaker 27: I mean, I know a lot of people who know
45:32
Speaker 27: a lot of things. I know a lot of things,
45:34
Speaker 27: most of which I can talk about on the air.
45:37
Speaker 27: I think the endgame is this I haven't understood with
45:40
Speaker 27: Donald Trump yet, sort of the next step, whether it
45:45
Speaker 27: be Venezuela or Iran. What we know he doesn't like
45:48
Speaker 27: foreign wars, the drag on and on and on. I
45:51
Speaker 27: think he's sort of in agreement with ninety five percent
45:53
Speaker 27: of the US population.
45:54
Speaker 1: There.
45:55
Speaker 27: We went in and we sort of did a decapitation
45:58
Speaker 27: striking Venezuela when we Adoro. But who emerges to replace him?
46:03
Speaker 27: And that has not fully shaken itself out yet. In Iran,
46:06
Speaker 27: there's two primary competing factions. They're sort of exported. You've
46:10
Speaker 27: got the Heirs to the Shaw, which is subjectionable to
46:15
Speaker 27: a lot of people, and then got you've got very
46:21
Speaker 27: jon I'm not even I'm gonna get her name, Miriam,
46:24
Speaker 27: who was with the NCO, the National Council of Resistance
46:27
Speaker 27: in Iran, which is a sort of soft cell neo
46:29
Speaker 27: Marxist group. Now, having said that I did do a
46:33
Speaker 27: lot of advocacy on their behalf because that's the single
46:35
Speaker 27: bets organized Iranian global resistance entity. And while I'm not
46:41
Speaker 27: a Marxist, I will take soft Marxism over the Iatolas.
46:47
Speaker 27: But who emerges right if we indeed did successfully decapitate
46:52
Speaker 27: the regime? Now rewinding to my initial point that power
46:55
Speaker 27: never voluntarily religuishes itself. Somebody's going to step up, right,
47:01
Speaker 27: And what's happened? The reason that literally hundreds of thousands
47:04
Speaker 27: of Iranians have been murdered by their own government in
47:07
Speaker 27: the last forty five years is that their own government's
47:11
Speaker 27: willing to murder their own people to retain power. And
47:14
Speaker 27: the people who were doing the murdering are by and
47:16
Speaker 27: large still there. So how do you execute a transition
47:22
Speaker 27: of power from them? And then when that happens, there's
47:25
Speaker 27: going to be I think another fight for who takes
47:30
Speaker 27: control going forward. I think if you've got some left
47:35
Speaker 27: leaning neo Marxists types, which I wouldn't consider to be
47:39
Speaker 27: the front runner as far as organizational skills internationally, but
47:43
Speaker 27: they're indebted to the West, that that may end well
47:46
Speaker 27: in the near term. And I certainly think we can
47:48
Speaker 27: set the table for in Iran that's not pursuing ballistic
47:52
Speaker 27: missiles and nuclear weapons technology, but now and who and
47:56
Speaker 27: so there's I don't doubt some I guess a plan,
48:00
Speaker 27: but then I do not know.
48:01
Speaker 1: Well, you know, when you talk about soft core neo
48:04
Speaker 1: Marxist you might as well be mentioning France or Greece
48:07
Speaker 1: or Canada, you know. So you know, I don't know
48:10
Speaker 1: how far they go in it, but you know, the
48:14
Speaker 1: the is there a timeline? You know. I made the
48:18
Speaker 1: case that if if it doesn't happen soon, then we've
48:23
Speaker 1: made a mistake in looking at these protests, these college protests,
48:29
Speaker 1: which to me are the grandkids of the people who
48:32
Speaker 1: grew up in and Iran that wasn't pre Ayatola and
48:38
Speaker 1: perhaps grew up thinking, hey, you know, things were better before.
48:41
Speaker 1: People would just get rounded up for you know, thought crimes.
48:46
Speaker 1: You know, are are they ready to stand up now?
48:49
Speaker 1: Or because when you make a vacuum, somebody is going
48:53
Speaker 1: to have to stand there and make sure that the
48:55
Speaker 1: chaos doesn't lead to even worse stuff happening.
49:00
Speaker 27: If we successfully oppose this regime, there'll be an internal
49:03
Speaker 27: struggle that will be bloody as well. It's absolutely inevitable.
49:08
Speaker 27: Your point to the protesters being the grandkids of the people,
49:13
Speaker 27: I think that's a good point. I would draw analogy
49:15
Speaker 27: to the sentiment of Cuban Americans one or two generations hence,
49:19
Speaker 27: and so we're twenty years behind the timeline and the
49:23
Speaker 27: devolution of sympathy for that which was against that which
49:27
Speaker 27: is in the case of the Iranian dissidents and their
49:30
Speaker 27: kids and even grandkids. Now, so you can kind of
49:34
Speaker 27: get an idea of the if you spend any time
49:36
Speaker 27: in Miami, of the degree of passion against the regime
49:40
Speaker 27: that's inherent just because the story is growing up. Yeah,
49:47
Speaker 27: I don't know, And that's the scary part. The one
49:49
Speaker 27: thing that I will say that I can say and
49:53
Speaker 27: knock on wood, which I literally just did, is the
49:57
Speaker 27: sleeper cell scenario has heretofore proven to be a scenarios
50:06
Speaker 27: good what we thought, so that I see is going
50:12
Speaker 27: to work to do worst case scenario war gaming? Right,
50:15
Speaker 27: what is the worst thing that they can do to
50:17
Speaker 27: us here amongst other contingencies. And so the sleeper cell
50:21
Speaker 27: scenario is a very realistic one that's relatively easily done.
50:24
Speaker 27: It would exploit our openness, our tolerance, et cetera, and
50:28
Speaker 27: use that against US. And I would think that if
50:30
Speaker 27: the Iranians had active sleeper cells in the US, unless
50:35
Speaker 27: they were working specifically for high value targets, power plans, infrastructure,
50:40
Speaker 27: et cetera. We've seen them by now. The Austin murderer
50:45
Speaker 27: I don't think was an Iranian sleeper agent, but instead
50:49
Speaker 27: just somebody who maybe espouse radical Shia Islam. And that's
50:53
Speaker 27: a good thing. We should be in prayer that that continues,
50:56
Speaker 27: because the potential for oh lots of life on American soil,
51:02
Speaker 27: it is greater than I think we.
51:03
Speaker 1: Realize, and I don't think we have the stomach for it.
51:07
Speaker 1: I think we would turn pretty quickly on the question,
51:11
Speaker 1: and people ask about the boots on the ground Tom
51:15
Speaker 1: before the news comes along, we already have the first
51:19
Speaker 1: ship a flame in the Strait of Horror Moves. I
51:22
Speaker 1: know this is part of why they dug the Suez
51:24
Speaker 1: Canal was to have another alternate way out there. But
51:30
Speaker 1: you know, if there is going to be a boot
51:32
Speaker 1: on the ground or two, should it be an international
51:37
Speaker 1: force to make sure the Strait of Horror Moves stays open.
51:40
Speaker 27: Well, that's a boat in the water right. I mean,
51:43
Speaker 27: if any boots on the ground most exclusively need to
51:46
Speaker 27: be American and dare I say Israeli. I'm not very
51:49
Speaker 27: confident in the ability of most of the world's military
51:51
Speaker 27: to axecute what would need to be executed in the
51:54
Speaker 27: scenario that I would envision. And again, as like David
51:57
Speaker 27: Trees and General Jack Kingdom when Tom Garret it, but
52:01
Speaker 27: you would have a limited entrance and they may already
52:04
Speaker 27: be there American forces to facilitate the exchange of light
52:08
Speaker 27: weaponry and training two factions inside of Iran that we
52:14
Speaker 27: deemed trustworthy.
52:16
Speaker 1: And you know, because.
52:19
Speaker 27: Putting a modern sporting rifle into operation is relatively easy,
52:23
Speaker 27: but some of the other white weapons they might need,
52:25
Speaker 27: they might need some training on.
52:26
Speaker 1: Well that's that's kind of way the caller that led
52:29
Speaker 1: into our segment, John down on the Treasure Coast. He
52:32
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, let's let's you know, put the
52:34
Speaker 1: Second Amendment if we really believe it. That's sort of
52:37
Speaker 1: my you know, dance hall statement. If we really believe
52:40
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment here in the United States, we should
52:43
Speaker 1: be making sure that every Iranian finds out about that. First.
52:47
