  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Bill Handle here on a Thursday morning. Some of the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: stories we are looking at, Well, a World Cup starts
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: today in Mexico. Tomorrow is the US versus Paraguay at
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Sofia Stadium.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: And so five weeks.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: That's a long time, and so we're going to see
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: five weeks of grief. And I'm going to talk about
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the World Cup a little bit later on, but here
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about something we've been ignoring and
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: this critical stuff when it comes to the war in Iran,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and that's the country of Oman. Now why is Oman
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: so important? Well because if you look at the straight
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: look at a map of the Strait of Horror moves,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the northern section of the Strait is Iran, the southern
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: part of the Strait.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Is Oman, and all of ad.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But you know, people are looking at Oman and saying
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: this peaceful country that sort of mediated and stayed out
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: of everybody's ways.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: There's an issue here.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: President Trump casually threatened last month to bamb Ahman, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: has been a long time American ally and people.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Assumed you've been missed. He misspoken. I mean, come on,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: he did not misspeak.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: After the US Israeli war with Iran inflamed tensions across
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the Middle East. As you would expect, Oman, the Sultanate
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of Oman, found itself in the crosshairs of the Trump administration,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: at odds with its Gulf neighbors, and it was perceived
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: as being too sympathetic to Iran. There is an omani
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: academic Abdullah Baboud said, sometimes standing in the middle is
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not easy for Washington and particularly for this president. Either
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you're with us or you're against us. There really is
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: no middle ground when it comes to the ministry. It's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: real simple, join us or you become the enemy. Now,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: for years, Oman has facilitated talks with the US and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Iran and maintains it's still playing its traditional role as
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: this neutral mediator and advocates advocating regional stability. Okay, here's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the problem, and this is where I put Oman in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a pretty difficult position. Is last month, Oman was discussing
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: partnering with Iran to charge fees for ships to pass
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: through this trait of hormones, basically a toll booth for
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the ships to pass. There used to be an international waterway. Freedom.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely no tolls just sailed right through it, and Iran said, well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to start charging. Oman said we're going to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: join you in charging. And that did it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The president snapped on that one, and I think rightly so,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: because for a neutral country that upheld the international right
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of this right of way, this international waterway, that was
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: free from any interference from any country, all of a sudden, yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: we're gonna charge ships going through like the Panama Canal,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: like the Siuez Canal, but the Suez Canal and the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Panama Canal go through countries, one being Panama, the other
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: one being Egypt.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: For example.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And the President told that reporters in late May, Oman
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: will behave just like everybody else, or we're gonna have
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to blow them up. I mean, that's of course Trump speak.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: They understand that they'll be fine. I don't know what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that means. They'll be fine. But the point is is
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that that shocked a bunch of people across the region. Now,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the response from that statement from Oman has been silence.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Why because Oman has a reputation for being aloof from
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the rest of the region. It's really not part of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: the region in the sense of alignment. Mark Siever is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a former US ambassador Oman said what they would say
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to me as well, we are the Gulf's window on Iran,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and that's a function that needs to be respected. Well, again,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: there is no neutrality in the world of this administration.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You're either with us or you're not. And this war
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: has created even more distance between Oman and its Arab
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: neighbors because they are firmly against Iran big time. Iran
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is a danger to the entire region. When you talk
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: about Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, when you talk about
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: countries like Kuwait. Now there have been some with the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Abraham agre Kors that have recognized Israel first, starting with
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Jordan and in Egypt, the rest of the Midi said no, no,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: we're gonna we're not going to accept Israel as a country.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We're not going to recognize Israel. Why because of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Palestine any issue. And now Iran is saying that it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: only going to come to the table if Israel stops
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: bombing Lebanon. And so the reality is, and I'm going
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to give you an example, the reality is is that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of these states not only are allied with
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the United States, Saudi Arabia, but you know they've been
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: buying goods from Israel for years and years. Well wait
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a minute, they can't the losses, they can't. Let me
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: tell you what they do. And I have a friend
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: of mine who flew for the idea of Israel Defense Forces,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and he flew F sixteens, and he said that Israel
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: had created a new system of long range tanks for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the F sixteen, which United States has not. So parts
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: for the F sixteen and upgrades come from the United States,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: but they didn't create It was Israel that created this
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: special tank for additional gas. So how does Saudi Arabia
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: get hold of it? Well, what Israel does is use
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Cyprus as a mediation point. So all of the parts
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that went into Saudi Arabia for the F sixteen were
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: on the boxes, were labeled product of Cyprus, and everybody knew.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It was a dirty little secret that everybody knew. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: want to continue on with the topic of Oman. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we're not hearing much about Oman while the festivities are
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: going on between the United States, Iran and Israel, and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that you would think it doesn't make any sense. Why
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: because Oman is on the other side of the Strait
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz. That is, you've got Iran in the north,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Ohman in the south, and Oman Heretofore, if you notice,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: as the other Gulf countries were getting pummeled by Iranian
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: missiles and drones, Oman wasn't. Oman is fine as far
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: as getting hit by Iran. And as I said earlier,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Iran and the other Gulf states are really enemies, you know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: For example, Saudi Arabia is much more frightened of Iran
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: than it ever would be of Israel. Ever, because Israel
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and Saudi Arabia actually do business together. Because if their
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: theocracy in Iran, if they took their religious and that's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: what they do, they want to create their form of
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: religion all over the Mid East. The first thing they're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: going to do when they go to Saudi Arabia's hang
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the royal family and they know it. So there's some
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: real issues going on. It's a lot more complicated than
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: just the Middle East loves Palestinian and they sort of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: hate and love the US.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Some have military basis, some don't.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But what happened with Oman, which is known as a mediator,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: which is known as a neutral country, and as I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: said earlier, there's no this thing as in neutrality with
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: this administration, either you are with us or you are
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the enemy. And what really got the President very angry,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: really pissed off, and he's right on this is Oman
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: joined Iran in saying we are going to start charging
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: with the Iran tolls fees for ships to pass through
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz. Previously it was a worldwide international
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: waterway that was free of any control by any country.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So even to the point where when the new leader,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the son of the head Honcho, the Imperial Wizard, the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Grand Puba of Iran, when that one was killed in
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the new Grand Puba, his son came into power. Do
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you know Iran that Oman actually sent a letter of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: congratulations to the assistant Pouba, who now is the big Poohba.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I think that's what they call them, don't they. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: think it's Imperial Wizard. I don't know this. You know
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: that if you look at that turbine these guys where
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and you unroll it, it goes into a cone.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Probably not. See you get a lot of news from me.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you a lot of information you don't get
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: anyplace else. Now while this is going on, as the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Middle East is reeling in terms of the oil that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: going through.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: You know, Oman is doing fine.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: All the other Midiast countries have taken big hits with oil.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Oman has actually increased its revenue because Oman is on
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the other side.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Of the port.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Most of it's oil and it can ship its oil
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: over through the country by pipeline other countries can't and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: then going into the Red Sea. So it is doing
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: really well. And unfortunately for the rest of the world,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: while this craziness is going on, there's Oman. Kuwait International
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Airport was hit last week. Oman condemned the attack. They said, oh,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: this is terrible, but that the name Iran at all.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Name didn't even show up. What the government said Oman
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: its rejection of all military acts that undermined the region's security. Boy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: there's a veiled reference not just to Iran but to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Israel in the United States too, But they don't mention
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Iran by name.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: The Trump administration, during Trump administration one had great relationships
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: as the United States did with Oman. Matter of fact,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Trump the family cut a deal to build a Trump unusual,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Trump branded luxury real estate project in Oman, and of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: course that raised all kinds of ethical issues. But after
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Israel led its brief war against Iran, remember the two
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: week attack, the tie started to fray and once again, Oman,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: leading up to the war, tried to be the mediator
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: between the US and Iran. But it's really clear that
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Oman has a very different view of the talks than
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the president. Oman's foreign minister said that a peace deal
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: was within our reach if we just allowed diplomacy to
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: get the space that it needs. Here, well, the president
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: is saying, we're done with diplomacy, we want to cut
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a deal. But what's happening is Iran is real is backpedaling.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It was back and forth, and it just takes forever.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: What the president doesn't understand as he says, oh, they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: two days away from a deal where I'm going to
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: have it over the weekend. The negotiations have stopped. We're
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: absolutely right there, not even close. Iran has said not
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: even close, because Iran takes its time, and it says
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the longer this thing takes, the better off we are.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Because at some point politically, the president is going to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: lose all of his popularity even among his followers, especially
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: if troops go in there.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: He's going to have a tough time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Iran doesn't have to worry about any kind of political fallout.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It doesn't, but the Revolutionary Guard cares about what public
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: public opinion is. Hell, they went out and shot twenty
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: thousand people that were demonstrating. We'll show you. Have you
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: noticed that there are no more demonstrations out on the
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: streets of Iran of Tehran. Yeah, because you get killed
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: because they shoot you, because they don't care.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: So we're going to see what happens right now.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The President said as yesterday that carg Island was going
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to be taken out. Carg Island is where ninety percent
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of Iran's oil is shipped out of and the President said,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: we're taking out carg Island. Well, this morning CNN and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: The New York Times reported that the President said the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: American people may not have the stomach for an attack
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: on card Island, So what's going to happen. Well, we're
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: going to talk about this one. And the President has
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: said that's going to happen a night. Now, we'll see,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: we'll see, all right. I want to invite you to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: an event on Saturday evening, June twenty at the Walt
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Disney Concert Hall. It's the La Lawyer's Philharmonic celebrating two
• 13:32

  Speaker 2: And this is the LA Lawyer lawyers and judges and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: people in the illegal field having and what that is
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: an orchestra and a choral group. And I amc the

• 13:52
  Speaker 2: tuxedo and generally make an ass out of myself, which
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I do. Concert tickets twenty to one hundred and thirty

• 14:05
  Speaker 2: visit LA Lawyers Phil dot org as LA Lawyers phil
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: as In Philharmonic La Lawyersphil dot org.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, come Sunday, We've got an event going on.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Actually, Washington has an event going on and it is
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the UFC Fight South Lawn of the White House. Now,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: whatever you say, and I talk a lot about it,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: whatever you can say about President Trump, you are never
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: going to be able to say that he is understated,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that he puts a soft touch on everything he does,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that he is sedate and calm and never overreacts, or
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: overdes anything.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: So there's a.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Sixty million dollar fight going on. Now we're sixty million. Well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: if you look at what went up on the South Lawn,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you've got that massive infrastructure, that massive physical almost looks
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: like a well, I guess almost looks like a ferris
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: wheel without the fairest part of it. And did some
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: massive production and the logistics were insane. Now, building a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: sporting event that's going to be on television that accommodates
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: more than one hundred thousand people without existing arena infrastructure,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that is not an easy thing to do. So there
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: was a lawsuit that was filed by a couple of
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: people that we're trying to stop this thing, you know, stupid,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: ridiculous lawsuit saying that their view of the Washington Monument
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: was being interfered with.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, just crazy.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But what happens is or happened is court documents that
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: were submitted by the Trump administration in relation to defending
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: lawsuit show that the UFC events this week and through
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the weekend are going to cost more than sixty million dollars.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Includes food that octagon cage, four hundred and ninety four
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: porta potties trucked in for the crowd, and according to
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the White House, this is highly complex, multifaceted event that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: has been carefully planned by a multitude of public and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: private entities over a significant period of time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: No kidding, it is no small deal.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Now, this coincides with President Trump's eightieth birthday and is
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: also celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: United States. You tell me which one is holding in precedent.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a double hit. That's what the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: White House says, So okay, we'll give it to them.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: The crowd size has grown rather substantially. In June, he
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: announced plans for the fight, billed as this celebration of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the country's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. He predicted it
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: would bring twenty to twenty five thousand people. The court
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: documents show that one hundred and twenty five thousand people
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: are expected and seventy five thousand people requested tickets. Tickets
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: are free, by the way, unluel ringside are twelve thousand
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: or fifteen thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars if
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken for some ringside seats.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Now does that go to the USC.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but the UFC is fronting the cost
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: sixty million dollars. It's responsible for the production, labor, construction, promotion,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: also the perishable food items that must be bought.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: They're selling food there.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Four thousand South Lawn guests and one hundred and twenty
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: thousand ellipse As guests and it is, boy, what a
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: deal this thing is. So what are you gonna do?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a huge events. Never been done before,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: nothing close to it has been done. But again, the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: President wants to do bigger, better, faster than anything else
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: that has ever been done. Look at the ballroom, look
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: at the arc the triumph that he was to put up,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: far taller than the Arc to Triumph in Paris. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: mean he's literally doing everything he put can to put
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: the Trump stamp on in Washington and across the country.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: So every day, twenty to thirty trucks filled with equipment, staging, infrastructure,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: technical material had to be screened before they came into
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: the White House or on the White House grounds for installation.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Seven hundred to nine hundred subcontractors were involved. And can
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you imagine the security, anti scale fencing bike racked barycodes, barricades,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: US Secret Service screening facilities. How much is the government
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: paying for when't paying for all of security measures for sure?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: And that includes the Secret Service and the metropol Well,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the metropolity police are paid for by Washington d C.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: But the Secret Service and any other federal employees are
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: going to be paid for by the government.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: So it is being touted.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's true that UFC is paying for
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the majority of it. Now is sixty million dollars is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: at an investment. I think it's the best investment they
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: could ever make. They're going to get a lot of
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: press from this. And there's one guy that owns it
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: all and he's a friend of the president. All right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: coming up, I'm gonna do a story. This is gonna
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: be fun on Sunday. You know it's gonna be. Where's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: gonna be?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Where can you watch this, Michelle?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I know that they're I think they're streaming it. I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: have to look is.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: It on any network or any platform?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Cono, do you know if there is CBS? I have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to I have to look it up and see.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: And it turned out there's gonna be two fights, right.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Paramount plus is where it's gonna be there.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, And there's gonna be it was supposed to be
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of world championship fights, and now I
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna be two of those.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. This is changing minute to minute.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: There's a few undercards and then there's the big fight.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And it was originally, if I remember, it was supposed
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to be about eight major fights, and now it's down
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to two, and I don't know the answer.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Might you know, I may watch it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not a big fan of UFC fighting anyway,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and violent it is violent. I'm much more a fan
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of pie eating contests, and not enough of them are televised.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, seven total fights on the card.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Tomorrow the IPO comes out for I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: believe SpaceX, and Elon Musk is going to probably be
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the world's first trillionaire if the it sells. The stock
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: sells at one hundred and thirty five dollars a share,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: like it's going to open at. And I'm trying to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: figure out what a trillionare is and the Wall Street
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Journal has figured out to describe a trillion dollars. The
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: difference between a million a billion and a trillion. So
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: if we do it in time in timelines, a million
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: seconds ago was two weeks ago, that's a million seconds.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Billion seconds is nineteen ninety four, going back to the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: days of pulp fiction. A trillion seconds puts us back
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: in the ice age. Yeah, can you imagine that in dollars?
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Just completely crazy? All Right, Today, I think I'm going
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: to hold off on the subject of Take thee to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a Nunnery because it's too good a story. So what
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do is spend a minute talking about what
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: is happening today, and the big one is will carg
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Island be bombed by the United States. The President has
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: said yesterday that because because the Iranians are not coming
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to the table, they are being way.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Too slow about these negotiations.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Because one thing about the President is he is not
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the most patient guy in the world.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: He wants a deal. He wants a deal.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Now he has said we have a deal, it's going
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to happen within two three days.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: It hasn't.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And so yesterday card Island, which is where Iran ninety
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: percent of Iran's oil is processed and distributed from, is
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: going to be hit and taken over. That was yesterday
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: there it didn't quite happen. Yesterday there was some minimal
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: or modified attacks. So today we're hearing that tonight. It's
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: going to happen if the Iranians don't come to the table,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: which I have serious doubts whether they will, because the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: President said the Iranians have agreed to the major terms,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: they want to deal really badly, and we're just on
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the precipice of signing this deal. Well, the only people
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that are saying that's not true happen to be the Iranians.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: They're saying, we're not even close, and they want the
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: negotiations to go on and on, and I think rightly so.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Time is on their side.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Why because public opinion is going straight downhill for the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: president in terms of this war, and public opinion means
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely nothing in Iran. They just don't care. The Revolutionary
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Guard controls Iran. Remember when the President said that when
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: who many was killed and quote, a regime change took place,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: which it didn't, that the new people in charge are
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: more rational and they're gonna come to the table more quickly.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It's exactly the opposite. The new leadership is far more
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: hardcore than the previous leader leadership is so we'll certainly
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: talk about that if the attack happens tonight.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: So we're done with the show.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Coming up, Gary and Shannon Tomorrow, we're back again Footy
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Friday at eight o'clock, without the Foody Friday because Neil

• 24:37
  Speaker 2: a modified crew of people, but the show is still brilliant, wonderful.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Just ask me, I'll be bored and happy to tell you.
• 24:44
