Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: A short time ago, the United States military began major
- 0:07Speaker 1: combat operations in Iran.
- 0:10Speaker 2: We'll do it making mornings great again.
- 0:12Speaker 3: We'll do the first thing today.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Do it on the chunk media and apples, right, Joe Thomas,
- 0:17Speaker 2: We'll do it, long.
- 0:18Speaker 4: Jeword said, steal me step. You have a day at
- 0:23Speaker 4: least for work when the sun comes up, drops.
- 0:26Speaker 5: A pet to school.
- 0:29Speaker 6: Joe has everything a dream, do all the Joses.
- 0:31Speaker 7: Saty needs.
- 0:34Speaker 5: No one that Joe's a smile. He only aims.
- 0:40Speaker 8: Let them be.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
- 0:43Speaker 3: you this Saturday. So many other programs are scrambling trying
- 0:49Speaker 3: to find their call screeners and their producers to jump
- 0:54Speaker 3: in and get it on live. This is what we do, uh,
- 0:57Speaker 3: each and every Saturday morning along the Talk Network, and
- 1:00Speaker 3: a blessing to have places like Long Island News Radio
- 1:04Speaker 3: and WCAP up and Lowell and our flagship of course
- 1:09Speaker 3: WTN Radio in Central Virginia.
- 1:13Speaker 1: It's been mess terra and we're not going to put
- 1:16Speaker 1: up with it any longer.
- 1:18Speaker 3: That is President Donald Trump about two now, I guess
- 1:22Speaker 3: about three hours ago, announcing kinetic operations in conjunction with
- 1:29Speaker 3: Israel in Iran and it begins and I really appreciate
- 1:33Speaker 3: the Keyboard Warriors. Well, I shouldn't say it that way.
- 1:36Speaker 3: I shouldn't be presumptuous, because text message is one of
- 1:40Speaker 3: the hang ups, even since the mid nineties when email
- 1:44Speaker 3: became a thing, is you don't get all the essence
- 1:50Speaker 3: of a message. I think that Tom Hanks Meg Ryan
- 1:53Speaker 3: movies sort of got into that. Because it's just words
- 1:58Speaker 3: on an electronic piece of paper. You don't know what
- 2:02Speaker 3: the emotion behind a statement is. So when you get
- 2:05Speaker 3: a text message saying I bet you won't play Vince
- 2:10Speaker 3: Vance anymore, I'm not sure if it was meant to
- 2:14Speaker 3: bait or to argue or you. But you really shouldn't
- 2:18Speaker 3: ask a guy this kind of stuff. I mean, you
- 2:22Speaker 3: should know me long well enough. And as the President
- 2:29Speaker 3: said in his address, it's been forty five years since
- 2:32Speaker 3: that song came out, and people have finally had enough
- 2:38Speaker 3: with Iran. And we have all the details, we have
- 2:41Speaker 3: the latest, we've got some folks, we're tracking the live news,
- 2:46Speaker 3: the reaction. Same. This is ABC right now covering some
- 2:54Speaker 3: of these strikes that Iran has made, and we have
- 2:57Speaker 3: all of that coming up for you the morning. So
- 3:00Speaker 3: leave us to it. Whatever our first things may have
- 3:05Speaker 3: been two hours ago, they have changed dramatically. As the
- 3:10Speaker 3: Israeli and US military forces launched strikes on Iran Saturday morning.
- 3:17Speaker 3: President Trump released an eight minute long video announcement of
- 3:22Speaker 3: the attack. A senior Israeli official confirmed to Fox Network
- 3:29Speaker 3: that the first strikes were targeted on Iranian Supreme Leader
- 3:35Speaker 3: Ali Khameni and President Masoud Praseikian. They were targeted. We
- 3:40Speaker 3: don't have any information regarding the results of that targeting.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Defense Minister Israel Kats of Israel issued this statement, the
- 3:52Speaker 3: State of Israel has launched a preemptive attack against Iran
- 3:56Speaker 3: to remove the threats to the State of Israel. Military
- 4:03Speaker 3: forces focused on taking out quote those responsible for commanding
- 4:08Speaker 3: mass murder of Iranian protesters. Battle damage assessments will come
- 4:13Speaker 3: out later. Meanwhile, Iran responded to the attacks by launching
- 4:19Speaker 3: a wave of missile strikes towards Israel and US targets,
- 4:23Speaker 3: many of them intercepted before they reached their targets. However,
- 4:27Speaker 3: explosions were reported in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Cutter.
- 4:33Speaker 3: The Jordanian Military Air Defense says its defenses intercepted two
- 4:40Speaker 3: ballistic missiles targeting the capital city of Aman. Driven from
- 4:47Speaker 3: the front page by the invasion of Iran. Bill Clinton
- 4:51Speaker 3: gave testimony Friday and said he didn't have any knowledge
- 4:55Speaker 3: of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, and he said what he shared
- 4:59Speaker 3: was a quote brief acquaintance. Repeatedly, lawmakers on the committee
- 5:04Speaker 3: showed Bill Clinton photos of himself with women from the
- 5:08Speaker 3: Epstein materials released by the Department of Justice, and he
- 5:12Speaker 3: said each time he did not have sex with those women.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Pakistan's military, backed by artillery and air power, struck more
- 5:22Speaker 3: military installations, they say, inside Afghanistan overnight into Saturday. Afghan
- 5:29Speaker 3: leadership says they targeted civilians and the three hundred dead
- 5:34Speaker 3: in the attacks were not military. Pakistani and Afghan forces
- 5:38Speaker 3: have targeted each other's positions since Thursday night. A judge
- 5:44Speaker 3: Friday sentenced a Wisconsin man to sixteen and a half
- 5:49Speaker 3: years in prison for forged threats against President Trump as
- 5:53Speaker 3: part of a scheme to get a victim of a
- 5:55Speaker 3: robbery case against him deported. And Athrop says it will
- 6:01Speaker 3: challenge the Pentagon over their supply chain risk label in court.

- 7:10Speaker 4: joining metashare can save you or your family up to

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Speaker 8: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 8: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 8: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 8: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 8: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and

- 13:23Speaker 2: Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:30Speaker 1: A short time ago, the United States military began major
- 13:36Speaker 1: combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the
- 13:42Speaker 1: American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.
- 13:48Speaker 1: A vicious group of very hard, terrible people. It's menacing
- 13:55Speaker 1: activities directly in danger the United States, our troops are
- 13:59Speaker 1: basis overseas and are allies throughout the world. For forty
- 14:04Speaker 1: seven years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America
- 14:08Speaker 1: and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder.
- 14:14Speaker 3: That is the President just a couple of hours ago
- 14:17Speaker 3: announcing the beginning of the attack on Iran, or conjunction
- 14:22Speaker 3: with the Israeli Defense Forces. It has a code name,
- 14:27Speaker 3: the Israeli default. Benjamin that and Yahoo pardon me announce
- 14:31Speaker 3: that its name is Operation Lions. Roar Kareem texts in
- 14:36Speaker 3: two four stay on four to three four eight eight
- 14:40Speaker 3: two four to two one seven is the tax line.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Kareem rights in we started a war on the Sabbath.
- 14:50Speaker 3: To be fair, six days you shall labor and do
- 14:55Speaker 3: all your work. But on the seventh day the Sabbath
- 14:57Speaker 3: is to the Lord your God odd on it. You
- 15:01Speaker 3: shall not do any work, neither you nor your son,
- 15:04Speaker 3: nor your daughter, nor your male or female servant, et cetera,
- 15:07Speaker 3: et cetera. It doesn't say it has to be Saturday.
- 15:12Speaker 3: I know that. In the Jewish faith, pardon me, tradition
- 15:17Speaker 3: is that it is Saturday. But if you want to
- 15:19Speaker 3: catch somebody unaware and their tactic is to attack the
- 15:24Speaker 3: Jewish state, wins a better time. I mean, you know,
- 15:30Speaker 3: you get a rabbi into the barracks to tell the soldier,
- 15:34Speaker 3: you give them the blessing to you know, go forth
- 15:37Speaker 3: and defend the state, defend Israel for its attacks. And
- 15:43Speaker 3: the President went on in his address to talk about
- 15:46Speaker 3: the proxy attacks that Iran has been involved in over
- 15:51Speaker 3: all these years. Do we have that clip? I know
- 15:55Speaker 3: we have folks on the line, just hang.
- 15:56Speaker 1: On saying Eric's bombing in Beirut that killed two hundred
- 15:59Speaker 1: and four Do you want American military personnel in two
- 16:03Speaker 1: thousand They knew and were probably involved with the attack
- 16:07Speaker 1: on the USS call.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Many died.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members
- 16:16Speaker 1: in Iraq. The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless
- 16:20Speaker 1: attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle East in
- 16:24Speaker 1: recent years, as well as US naval and commercial vessels
- 16:28Speaker 1: and international shipping lands.
- 16:30Speaker 3: Now he's talking about the Hasbola missile attacks as well
- 16:35Speaker 3: as Hamas and their attacks. And this email from Jerry says,
- 16:41Speaker 3: I'm not sure about this, Joe. Didn't we just get
- 16:43Speaker 3: a poll yesterday that said Americans are more in favor
- 16:48Speaker 3: of the Islamists and the terrorists than they are the Israelis.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Three years of unending ad campaigns. Know you're going to
- 16:57Speaker 3: want a big mac too, if all you ever see
- 16:59Speaker 3: on tea or ads for McDonald's. And I'm sorry, it's
- 17:03Speaker 3: a marketing campaign. What Hamas and Iran has paid for
- 17:07Speaker 3: is a marketing campaign to make his Bola and Hamas
- 17:11Speaker 3: look like marginalized communities. And at some point Iran was
- 17:21Speaker 3: going to cross a line. Apparently that was a couple
- 17:25Speaker 3: of hours ago. Anyway, to the phones, because part of
- 17:28Speaker 3: the program is to find out how the news of
- 17:30Speaker 3: the day is impacting you where you are. And I
- 17:33Speaker 3: appreciate the emails and the texts. Clark is on the
- 17:36Speaker 3: line from Alabama. Good morning, Clark. How are you doing, sir?
- 17:41Speaker 19: Could not be better this morning? Joe, so glad you
- 17:44Speaker 19: started to show with bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Now, well, they dared me. I mean, you know I
- 17:49Speaker 3: grew up in Queen's Don't dare me. Don't say, oh,
- 17:53Speaker 3: we know you won't do that anymore. I mean, come on,
- 17:55Speaker 3: that's just that's just asking for it, and and I
- 17:58Speaker 3: do take it serious because people will die. People may
- 18:03Speaker 3: have already died inside Iran, and Americans may die in
- 18:08Speaker 3: israelis may die. Here's a text message from Teresa saying,
- 18:12Speaker 3: I thought Trump was the anti war president. Is that
- 18:15Speaker 3: he promised to end wars? How long has this war
- 18:18Speaker 3: of words been going on between Iran, Israel, the United States,
- 18:23Speaker 3: and all the other countries in the Middle East. Part
- 18:26Speaker 3: of the Abraham Accords was a coalition of Islamic states
- 18:31Speaker 3: joining Israel to isolate Iran. I mean a huge step there.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I'm not taking it lightly, but I mean the song
- 18:41Speaker 3: has existed in the zeitgeist since they invaded and took
- 18:46Speaker 3: over our embassy. So I mean it's been a long
- 18:49Speaker 3: time coming, is all I'm saying. Anyway, continue, So.
- 18:54Speaker 19: Let's get the all munskin CHORL group back together and
- 18:58Speaker 19: as soon as we get confirmation ncing do ding Dong.
- 19:03Speaker 19: I told hers dad, I told hers dead ding Dong,
- 19:06Speaker 19: the ice tolers dead.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Wow, you went there. We don't know. We just know
- 19:12Speaker 3: that the reports are that they targeted Kaimini as well
- 19:17Speaker 3: as pointed.
- 19:18Speaker 19: Out that this was done on a Sabbath. What day
- 19:23Speaker 19: of the week was October the twenty third, nineteen eighty three.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Oh gosh, you're asking me to do calendar.
- 19:29Speaker 19: Stuff on Sunday morning, Joe, Sunday morning, two hundred and
- 19:37Speaker 19: forty one Marines, Sailors army personnel killed in a heinous attack.
- 19:45Speaker 19: So anybody got a problem with this, just go counce.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Sam, call somebody who says urah for breakfast. Yeah, I'm sorry,
- 19:56Speaker 3: I just I had forgotten the day of the week
- 19:57Speaker 3: it was.
- 20:00Speaker 19: I know, you know very well what day of the
- 20:03Speaker 19: week that was. You ask anybody that spent time there
- 20:06Speaker 19: what day of the week that was, and we'll tell you.
- 20:09Speaker 3: So, you know how, here's the question if you take
- 20:14Speaker 3: the head out and you know this is the question,
- 20:17Speaker 3: is this a long affair? Pentagon sources have been hinting
- 20:24Speaker 3: and dropping, you know, preemptive leaks if you will, about
- 20:31Speaker 3: this being about them being prepared for a pro protracted
- 20:35Speaker 3: effort in Iran. But if you take out the ayah toola,
- 20:42Speaker 3: what happens with the protests and the campus uprisings, where
- 20:48Speaker 3: does the military go? Because this is one of the
- 20:51Speaker 3: things that you talk about Marines, one of the things
- 20:53Speaker 3: that has always been a hallmark of the American and
- 20:58Speaker 3: into a smaller are Western allies, is that if you
- 21:03Speaker 3: kill the general, the soldiers keep fighting. And a lot
- 21:07Speaker 3: of other countries you kill the general and the soldiers
- 21:10Speaker 3: are like, that's it. The bosses de coon, we're out
- 21:14Speaker 3: of here. And and so you know, it's next man
- 21:17Speaker 3: up in the American military. Uh, And it always has
- 21:21Speaker 3: been what happens with Iran if we did take out
- 21:25Speaker 3: the Ayatola of Rock and Roller in your opinion.
- 21:28Speaker 19: Well guess we get to find out hopefully, I don't know.
- 21:32Speaker 19: You know, we used to have a CIA that uh
- 21:36Speaker 19: specialized in doing stuff like that. Now they're working on
- 21:39Speaker 19: getting figuring out who gets to be president here all.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Wow, you managed to tie in Steele dossier. You're working
- 21:49Speaker 3: on all eight cylinders this morning, doctor Clark. First thing

- 28:40Speaker 3: do we have right now? The latest I'm seeing a
- 28:51Speaker 3: report here something about Ayah told how many knees.
- 28:54Speaker 21: So let's go to this here, insisting that Iran would
- 28:59Speaker 21: not give up up its ability to enrich uranium. He's
- 29:04Speaker 21: been putting the strings in many ways, and what you've
- 29:06Speaker 21: really seen is, for example, the uranium foreign minister trying
- 29:11Speaker 21: to negotiate, but ultimately the reality that the supreme leaders
- 29:15Speaker 21: in charge in Iran, or has been in charge in Iran,
- 29:20Speaker 21: and he's a hard he's a hard liner.
- 29:22Speaker 3: That being said, one of the concerns in.
- 29:24Speaker 21: This whole picture of potential moving parts in the coming
- 29:27Speaker 21: days is whether he would be replaced by leadership that
- 29:30Speaker 21: were even more hardline.
- 29:32Speaker 3: It's a fair cup on that one. Who comes next?
- 29:36Speaker 3: This is that was NBC.
- 29:37Speaker 22: This is ABC of the Iranian regime on any kind
- 29:41Speaker 22: of protests.
- 29:42Speaker 3: This is General Karlberg from the US Army troops across
- 29:48Speaker 3: the region. There are more assets on the way.
- 29:51Speaker 10: When was the last time we've seen a build up
- 29:53Speaker 10: in the Middle East of this scale.
- 29:57Speaker 22: Yeah, it's been been a long time. You know, two
- 30:00Speaker 22: care battle groups is significant. All the air forces in
- 30:04Speaker 22: the region. You know, my background is air and space
- 30:07Speaker 22: missile defense. So the missile defense forces that are there
- 30:09Speaker 22: in the centcom air of responsibility.
- 30:12Speaker 3: Uh it is big, but again.
- 30:14Speaker 22: You know, if you kind of want to look at
- 30:15Speaker 22: the classic deterrence, the items that play in classic deterrence
- 30:19Speaker 22: is the ability to impose unacceptable costs, deny the adversary
- 30:23Speaker 22: benefit of his attacks, and then have credible messaging.
- 30:26Speaker 5: So what we've seen here.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Is that's come some of what's going on right now. Nothing,
- 30:33Speaker 3: no reports right now. I thought we had seen a
- 30:35Speaker 3: report that the strikes had taken out the Supreme Leader Ayatollahmeni,
- 30:41Speaker 3: but that's still to be determined. To eat the general
- 30:45Speaker 3: mentioned deterrence and missile defense reports that much of that
- 30:50Speaker 3: has been successful in the region. Uh In and over
- 30:55Speaker 3: Aman reports that missiles had been fired on the capitol
- 31:00Speaker 3: in Jordan but had been intercepted before they hit their targets.
- 31:04Speaker 3: So we'll keep you up to date on the latest.
- 31:07Speaker 3: As the US and Israel began an attack on Iran
- 31:11Speaker 3: about three four hours ago now Eastern Seaboard time. Joel's
- 31:16Speaker 3: on the line from Florida. Good morning, Joel, what's going on?
- 31:19Speaker 3: My friend?
- 31:21Speaker 2: Morning, Joe.
- 31:22Speaker 3: I just have to say enough is enough, and funny
- 31:26Speaker 3: that's what the President said too.
- 31:29Speaker 14: Oh okay, I'm kind of watching it late, but I'm
- 31:33Speaker 14: sick of this because American lives, especially the Marines, lost
- 31:37Speaker 14: in October twenty third, nineteen eighty three. That's always burned
- 31:42Speaker 14: my heart. I'm not a marine, but I say oohra
- 31:45Speaker 14: to all the Marines, because they're great.
- 31:49Speaker 3: There's a debatable thing. The Marine Corps League here in
- 31:51Speaker 3: Central Virginia has made me an honorary marine, and I've
- 31:55Speaker 3: run into people who are parts of marine deployments elsewhere
- 32:00Speaker 3: they're like, there's no such thing. But you know, hey,
- 32:04Speaker 3: that's the Marine Corps League here in Central Virginia and
- 32:06Speaker 3: they've given me my pen and and I'll defend it,
- 32:10Speaker 3: which sometimes wins over the Marines who I run into.
- 32:13Speaker 3: But anyway, you are, you're saying.
- 32:15Speaker 14: But you know they're they're suppliers of arms and arms
- 32:19Speaker 14: that I know you're going to make fun of this
- 32:22Speaker 14: than under arm.
- 32:23Speaker 2: You know that, you know, with.
- 32:24Speaker 14: With Russia, with with Cuba, with post Venezuela, and who
- 32:29Speaker 14: knows there's other and and and the and the cartels.
- 32:33Speaker 14: I'm sure I'm sure somehow they get to the cartels.
- 32:36Speaker 14: And President Trump is saying, we can't have a world
- 32:40Speaker 14: that's in distress all the time, because how can an economy. Now,
- 32:44Speaker 14: you can build a war economy by and you're building technologies.
- 32:48Speaker 14: The Space Program built a lot of that, the warp
- 32:51Speaker 14: war machines, Yes, they built a lot of that. But
- 32:54Speaker 14: you have to do it purposefully and a defensive and
- 32:57Speaker 14: you have to also know an offensive position too, because
- 33:01Speaker 14: what happens is if you're constantly trying to uh, you know,
- 33:05Speaker 14: defend and not stay you know, offensive, and and you're
- 33:10Speaker 14: defending against all these other places. This instability of the
- 33:15Speaker 14: Middle East, I mean, you're always going to have that
- 33:17Speaker 14: because none of them was in countries have ever ever
- 33:21Speaker 14: not fought with each other, and and you're always going
- 33:25Speaker 14: to have that. But President Trump wants stability. He wants
- 33:29Speaker 14: and if you and you have to have strength with stability.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Well you you also have to, you know, show to
- 33:34Speaker 3: the Saundi Arabias and the Cutters and Jordan's of the world,
- 33:39Speaker 3: uh that you're not you're going to help stop the
- 33:41Speaker 3: bully on their block uh from threatening them. And you
- 33:45Speaker 3: bring up a great thing and I'm gonna add junked
- 33:48Speaker 3: onto a freaking brilliant jowl that you know, you brought
- 33:53Speaker 3: up Russia's involvement with the Iran. Iran is one of
- 33:56Speaker 3: the key players in this brick Uh, they're attempted brick
- 34:00Speaker 3: bank there. And so what does Russia do here? They've
- 34:06Speaker 3: just cracked into the fourth year of their two week war.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Remember it was two weeks they should be you know,
- 34:12Speaker 3: in Kiev, and now four years later, still trying. And
- 34:17Speaker 3: what does China do? China's got it, sabers out Looking
- 34:21Speaker 3: at Taiwan. The US has doubled down in Taiwan almost
- 34:26Speaker 3: as vehemently as we've doubled down with Israel. And the
- 34:30Speaker 3: Trump administration just struck was it a week and a
- 34:34Speaker 3: half ago? Big trade deal with Taiwan? Is signaling that
- 34:38Speaker 3: we weren't going anywhere when it came to the Taiwanese.
- 34:42Speaker 3: And so what does China do here? Trump's supposed to
- 34:46Speaker 3: go to China later on, I guess in about a
- 34:47Speaker 3: month's time to meet with Chairman Schi So what this
- 34:53Speaker 3: is going to be the really the key to this.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Iran's going to have its thing. And this was one
- 34:58Speaker 3: of the reasons that Iran it was so existentially important
- 35:02Speaker 3: to keep them from weaponizing nuclear power because homie don't care.
- 35:09Speaker 3: And that's the trouble with an Islamist with a bomb
- 35:12Speaker 3: is that you see what their attitude is with a
- 35:16Speaker 3: dynamite vest And the same will hold true if there
- 35:22Speaker 3: is not a Western alliance to make sure that a
- 35:27Speaker 3: Muslim country is fine. An Islamist country is markedly different.
- 35:32Speaker 3: And that's where you see folks like Saudi Arabia and
- 35:36Speaker 3: Jordan and the you know, Islamic countries saying, please stop
- 35:40Speaker 3: the Islamist who's who's going to blow up the world
- 35:43Speaker 3: just so they can get to their seventeen virgins. The
- 35:46Speaker 3: Russians in the Cold War in the US, we had
- 35:50Speaker 3: our mutual self destruction pack and you know, well, you're
- 35:53Speaker 3: I'm not going to fire on you because you'll fire
- 35:56Speaker 3: on me and there's not going to be anything left.
- 35:58Speaker 3: You know. An Islamist doesn't care about that. That's not
- 36:02Speaker 3: their goal. And so so that's going to be interesting
- 36:07Speaker 3: to see if Russia comes in and says we're going
- 36:10Speaker 3: to take up this proxy battle and it becomes US
- 36:14Speaker 3: v Russia via Iran and Israel, and I don't know
- 36:19Speaker 3: if they have anything left for that fight. Go ahead,
- 36:22Speaker 3: finish up for us.
- 36:23Speaker 14: I'm sorry I didn't mean. But my issue too is
- 36:27Speaker 14: we you know, President.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Uh uh uh.
- 36:30Speaker 14: I'm trying to remember now, was it Clinton allowed the
- 36:33Speaker 14: allowed the uh North Korea to get weapons and and
- 36:37Speaker 14: I also stole some of the some of the technologies.
- 36:40Speaker 14: I guess there were people that were, you know, traitorous
- 36:44Speaker 14: and they and they developed and and then we're like, oh, verify, verify,
- 36:48Speaker 14: you know, and and it's the same thing, and we can't.
- 36:51Speaker 14: We can't be in that spot again.
- 36:52Speaker 3: We can't. Well, it sounds like the you know, the
- 36:55Speaker 3: president agrees with you. Go check out his message. I

- 44:36Speaker 3: More text messages as we continue live coverage, shelter and
- 44:41Speaker 3: place orders across our Middle Eastern allies, as Israel and
- 44:46Speaker 3: the United States have begun a kinetic attack in Iran.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Iran has responded with missiles, many of them have been
- 44:54Speaker 3: taken out before they have reached their targets, but we're
- 44:57Speaker 3: going to continue to watch the efforts live. This is
- 45:02Speaker 3: inteligent ABC Live in Tel Aviv.
- 45:06Speaker 25: Made is that Iran represents a strategic threat to the
- 45:13Speaker 25: country in some senses, Neto.
- 45:15Speaker 3: Has a much easier case to argue the present in
- 45:19Speaker 3: the neighborhood.
- 45:21Speaker 25: Think of it like that. It's missiles can and do
- 45:24Speaker 25: reach Israel. So that is a clear threat. Iran's missiles
- 45:28Speaker 25: at the moment cannot reach the United States. It's nuclear program,
- 45:33Speaker 25: the President said it was obliterated last June. Maybe there
- 45:37Speaker 25: has been some attempt at reconstitution, but nobody has said
- 45:40Speaker 25: that it's trying to weaponize the enricheranium that it's got,
- 45:45Speaker 25: and Iran has offered up repeated assurances that it has
- 45:48Speaker 25: no intention of building a nuclear bomb.
- 45:51Speaker 3: It's from a bombshelter live where stop. We need to
- 45:57Speaker 3: get the engineer and look at the potentialometer in there.
- 46:01Speaker 3: But that's live from a bombshelter in Tel Aviv right
- 46:05Speaker 3: now on ABC News coming there live, Kareem rites in
- 46:12Speaker 3: you are welcome to tell me our elected leaders don't
- 46:15Speaker 3: consider Israel part of the United States. Okay, our elected
- 46:20Speaker 3: leaders don't see Israel as part of the United States.
- 46:25Speaker 3: They do see it as the lone Western outpost in
- 46:30Speaker 3: an eastern part of the world. And that's an important
- 46:35Speaker 3: distinction because I know people in this poll that came
- 46:42Speaker 3: out yesterday, the Gallop poll that said the attitude towards
- 46:48Speaker 3: Israel has changed. And I'm sorry if you disagree with me.
- 46:53Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of anti Semitism that has
- 46:56Speaker 3: been fomented through the ad campaigns. As I said, if
- 47:01Speaker 3: for three years the only thing you saw were commercials
- 47:04Speaker 3: for McDonald's, I bet you'd be craving a Big Mac
- 47:07Speaker 3: right now. And if Gallup called you and said, do
- 47:10Speaker 3: you like the Whopper or the Big Mac? After three
- 47:13Speaker 3: years of seeing nothing more than the Big Mac is
- 47:16Speaker 3: a marginalized community and really deserves your support, You're going
- 47:21Speaker 3: to McDonald's. Sorry. You know, I'm not saying you or
- 47:25Speaker 3: I are being manipulated, but you and I are being manipulated.
- 47:32Speaker 3: And you know there are truisms. Like I said, the
- 47:36Speaker 3: issue with Russia and Ukraine is Ukraine as corrupt as
- 47:41Speaker 3: Joe Biden's family tree hells to the s. Does that
- 47:45Speaker 3: mean they deserve to be invaded by their neighbor No.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Does Russia disagree that Ukraine should have been allowed to
- 47:53Speaker 3: become an independent state? Yes? Does that mean they get
- 47:57Speaker 3: a right to invade them once those treaties have been
- 48:00Speaker 3: established and they signed off on them, regardless of what
- 48:03Speaker 3: their view of Boris Yeltsen's sobriety is.
- 48:07Speaker 20: No.
- 48:08Speaker 3: Once once you know the law is laid down. This
- 48:12Speaker 3: is what we're watching with the Democrats in the United States.
- 48:15Speaker 3: I don't like the law anymore, so I'm just going
- 48:17Speaker 3: to ignore it unless I need it, and then I
- 48:20Speaker 3: want the law to be sacro sanct and people to
- 48:22Speaker 3: be arrested for violating them. You can't have it both ways.
- 48:30Speaker 3: You can't. So once things are established, you can't go
- 48:34Speaker 3: back and say I just don't like that. So, you know,
- 48:40Speaker 3: the whole rebranding campaign that said Hamas and his Bolah
- 48:45Speaker 3: were marginalized communities, you know, are played with the typical
- 48:51Speaker 3: marketing Chicago style ad campaigns. Medmen you know in there
- 48:57Speaker 3: selling cigarettes to teenagers. Whatever they're saying, they play fast
- 49:02Speaker 3: and loose with the truth. Is the situation on the
- 49:11Speaker 3: Gaza Strip crap. Yes, have we sent billions of dollars
- 49:15Speaker 3: into the Gaza Strip and that has only been used
- 49:18Speaker 3: to dig tunnels to Israel to infiltrate their borders. Yes.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Does that mean that men and women who are just
- 49:28Speaker 3: trying to make it through the day in the Gaza
- 49:31Speaker 3: Strip don't deserve a better shot at prosperity, No, it doesn't.
- 49:39Speaker 3: But you have to deal in the realities of things.
- 49:42Speaker 3: You don't have a right to parasale into a rock
- 49:44Speaker 3: concert and kill everyone there, you don't. I like this
- 49:50Speaker 3: text message, Joe. The British considered our American soldiers to
- 49:55Speaker 3: be terrorists during the Battle for our independence. Yeah, and
- 50:02Speaker 3: they were occupying a sovereign country, you know. The the Vietnamese,
- 50:12Speaker 3: the viet Cong, paid for by the Russian military, viewed
- 50:18Speaker 3: US as an invading army. That's why we had struggles
- 50:21Speaker 3: in Vietnam, because they were pitching US as an occupying army.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Even in the face of that, our soldiers won battle
- 50:32Speaker 3: after battle in Vietnam. It was our politicians that couldn't
- 50:37Speaker 3: make a good case for defending what was going on
- 50:40Speaker 3: in South Vietnam and their ability to be sovereign because
- 50:44Speaker 3: like the Ukrainians, they were as corrupt as the day
- 50:47Speaker 3: is twenty four hours. So if there's a problem with
- 50:51Speaker 3: the American international foreign affairs, generally it comes down to
- 50:56Speaker 3: the line, we don't pick very good people to stand behind,
- 51:02Speaker 3: or the people we stand behind fall prey to the
- 51:06Speaker 3: natural corruptions that are woven into all of us Christian, Muslim,
- 51:12Speaker 3: jew It doesn't make a difference. And I'm just gonna
- 51:15Speaker 3: be honest with you, because you know this poll, the
- 51:18Speaker 3: gallop pole is manifesting right here on the text message line,
- 51:21Speaker 3: the emails nobody wants is you know, they wanted the
- 51:26Speaker 3: US to bomb Tel Aviv. They wanted the US to
- 51:29Speaker 3: take the side of Iran. And that's that's what's been
- 51:38Speaker 3: going on for three years, this text message saying hey
- 51:43Speaker 3: iron a McDonald's, and I'm offended by I did you're
- 51:46Speaker 3: comparing us. It's all right, I'm just I picked a
- 51:51Speaker 3: brand that has famous for its ability to market itself.
- 51:58Speaker 3: You want me to pick some pharmaceutical, bloating drug, you
- 52:03Speaker 3: know whatever. The point is that if you get nothing
- 52:07Speaker 3: but commercial messages saying brand A is good and brand
- 52:15Speaker 3: B sucks, and brand B has caused irreparable harm to
- 52:22Speaker 3: brand A and kept you from knowing all the wonderful
- 52:26Speaker 3: things you could appreciate with brand A, and that brand
- 52:31Speaker 3: A is really the world that we should be living in.
- 52:36Speaker 3: Of course, you're going to pick brand A. That's all
- 52:41Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's been a marketing campaign that is unparalleled,
- 52:47Speaker 3: rebranding of Hamas and Hezbola. My name is Bobby. I'm
- 52:53Speaker 3: a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 6: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
- 52:58Speaker 6: weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 5: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 6: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 6: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 16: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 16: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 5: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to all.
- 53:14Speaker 16: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
- 53:17Speaker 16: the benefits they've earned.
- 53:19Speaker 20: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
