Iran update · Chuck Douglas

0:00
Speaker 1: What do I want to do? First? We've got a
0:02
Speaker 1: little more serious stuff in this half hour. First of all,
0:06
Speaker 1: what I deemed to be good news some may some
0:11
Speaker 1: may not. But President Trump announcing on I think he
0:14
Speaker 1: was on truth social when he said that the planned attacks,
0:19
Speaker 1: and it sounded like they were going to be pretty
0:21
Speaker 1: harsh this time on Iran, Iranian nuclear facilities and energy
0:26
Speaker 1: production facilities and so forth. We're going to be put
0:30
Speaker 1: off for five days as apparently the Iranian government has
0:34
Speaker 1: been speaking back and forth with this administration, and the
0:40
Speaker 1: President says, I can't promise we're going to come to
0:42
Speaker 1: an agreement, but we have very productive, positive talks, and
0:47
Speaker 1: so in order for those talks to have time to happen,
0:51
Speaker 1: we're going to delay what we were going to be
0:54
Speaker 1: doing today for five days, which I think, I mean,
0:57
Speaker 1: how are you taking that, Zach? Do you feel I
1:00
Speaker 1: would much rather see us in that conversation with you know,
1:05
Speaker 1: verified outcome than I would see as putting boots on
1:10
Speaker 1: the ground in Iran.
1:11
Speaker 2: I don't want any boots on the ground. But I
1:13
Speaker 2: don't know what the talks are exactly. I don't know
1:16
Speaker 2: what's gonna end up happening. Things like that change.
1:19
Speaker 1: Well, the contingent has been for years is you cannot
1:23
Speaker 1: have a nuclear program. You cannot have nuclear weapons because Iran,
1:26
Speaker 1: as they love to tell you, is the largest state
1:28
Speaker 1: sponsor of terrorism. They are the money and the equipment
1:32
Speaker 1: and all that behind the organizations like Hesperalah and Jumas.
1:35
Speaker 3: Right, here's my issue. It's not even an issue. It's
1:39
Speaker 3: just what.
1:41
Speaker 2: Say, if there's a new leader that comes to power,
1:45
Speaker 2: he might not be as good as the next guy,
1:46
Speaker 2: and then the next guy, and then the next guy.
1:49
Speaker 3: You're not. It's not like fighting the Germans.
1:51
Speaker 2: In World War Two, where if you beat the military
1:54
Speaker 2: and they quit, it's it's over.
1:55
Speaker 3: It's an ideology.
1:57
Speaker 1: This is this is where the people matter. Yeah, if
1:59
Speaker 1: you can get some time under your belt with the
2:02
Speaker 1: current leadership, that might agree to something that is productive
2:05
Speaker 1: and positive, and the people of the country see a
2:09
Speaker 1: new way of life, a different way of life, you know,
2:12
Speaker 1: the oppression going away. Women can read if they want
2:16
Speaker 1: to read, and don't have to cover themselves to walk out,
2:18
Speaker 1: and don't have to have an escort to go to
2:19
Speaker 1: the bathroom and all that kind of stuff. If that
2:22
Speaker 1: becomes a way of life, the people will fight much
2:25
Speaker 1: harder not to give it up.
2:27
Speaker 3: I agree, It's just I just hope it. I just
2:29
Speaker 3: hope it wraps ups rather than later. I don't want.
2:32
Speaker 2: I just I think everybody's a little bit apprehensive whether
2:36
Speaker 2: they trust Trump or don't trust Trump, of it turning into.
2:40
Speaker 1: Years. Yeah, well, you know what, being the nice guys
2:44
Speaker 1: is why it takes so long.
2:46
Speaker 3: True.
2:47
Speaker 1: I mean, we could just go in there and flatten
2:49
Speaker 1: the country in about fifteen minutes and be done with
2:51
Speaker 1: it and kill every living thing within the borders. But
2:57
Speaker 1: we as a country have tried to be better than that,
3:00
Speaker 1: especially as the technology has advanced and allowed us to
3:04
Speaker 1: be more more precision, like with our strikes. We you know,
3:09
Speaker 1: we don't want to just kill everybody. We're going after
3:12
Speaker 1: facilities and leadership and military targets as opposed to just
3:17
Speaker 1: leveling the country, which yes, we could do, and especially
3:22
Speaker 1: between US and Israel, yes we could do. And if
3:26
Speaker 1: Iran continues to launch missiles into other countries, you know
3:30
Speaker 1: eventually they're going to say, hey, us man, you need
3:32
Speaker 1: some help with this, and they're going to jump on
3:34
Speaker 1: board too. That includes Arabic countries. So being nice sometimes
3:42
Speaker 1: costs more and as I said about the gasoline, I
3:44
Speaker 1: saw gas was three ninety nine today? Was that what
3:46
Speaker 1: it was out where you live?
3:47
Speaker 3: Something like that.
3:49
Speaker 2: I try to look and pay attention more, but I
3:51
Speaker 2: have to put the eighty nine in, so it's going
3:54
Speaker 2: to cost me more a little bit.
3:56
Speaker 3: Not complaining, but I try to pay attention to all
3:58
Speaker 3: of it.
3:58
Speaker 4: Now.
3:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like three ninety.
4:00
Speaker 1: I've been using that eighty eight octane at sheets. It
4:03
Speaker 1: did not work on my previous vehicle, but it does
4:05
Speaker 1: well in the Explorer. It's cheaper, and the thing of
4:09
Speaker 1: it is has more ethanol. More corn liquor is in there.
4:15
Speaker 1: That's what it is, is corn liquor. That's what it is.
4:18
Speaker 1: It's ethanol. Normally you only get you get a maximum
4:22
Speaker 1: of ten percent ethanol in gasoline at the eighty sevens,
4:26
Speaker 1: but the eighty eight has a little higher octane, but
4:29
Speaker 1: it is a maximum of fifteen percent ethanol, which a
4:33
Speaker 1: lot of people say, well, this is you know, we're
4:36
Speaker 1: talking about trying to feed people. We're using food to
4:39
Speaker 1: fuel our vehicles, which is why they said ethanol is
4:42
Speaker 1: not a sustainable thing because there's no way on Earth
4:45
Speaker 1: we could ever produce, you know, enough ethanol to have
4:48
Speaker 1: the entire world running on this and so and plus
4:52
Speaker 1: it's not good for engines and plastic parts and so forth.
4:55
Speaker 1: They say, you don't want to run it in your
4:57
Speaker 1: weed whackers, your tillers, your snowblowers and things things like that,
5:00
Speaker 1: because it decays the plastic lines. And I so far
5:05
Speaker 1: found that to be kind of true too, because the
5:06
Speaker 1: last blower I bought, I'm using that canned gas. It's
5:09
Speaker 1: pure gas you get at the store, and that seems
5:12
Speaker 1: to be doing a little bit better. But anyway, I
5:15
Speaker 1: will pay the three ninety nine, I'll pay the four nineteen,
5:17
Speaker 1: I'll pay the four thirty nine as I'll do as
5:20
Speaker 1: much as I can, hold on for as long as
5:21
Speaker 1: I can, if it means a better world, a safer world,
5:28
Speaker 1: a freer people. And I know that I'm very archaic
5:33
Speaker 1: the way I look at things sometimes because I look
5:35
Speaker 1: at the greater good. Might I suffer? Yeah, might make things,
5:40
Speaker 1: Especially with our you know, utility bills going up all
5:42
Speaker 1: the time, and cost of living going up all the time,
5:44
Speaker 1: costs and groceries going up all the time. Gasoline is
5:47
Speaker 1: just one more nail in the financial coffin. But if
5:52
Speaker 1: by paying that I can do my part to help
5:55
Speaker 1: assure that that the society is free and those who
6:00
Speaker 1: were held down and kept from being able to read
6:03
Speaker 1: or write or or speak out or whatever, we'll be
6:07
Speaker 1: able to do it. I'm willing to pay that that.
6:10
Speaker 2: Makes sense, But a lot of people don't. They only
6:14
Speaker 2: see what's right in front of them. I should also
6:17
Speaker 2: maybe if you're a you don't want it to affect
6:22
Speaker 2: the mid terms either, because some people, no matter what happens,
6:26
Speaker 2: they're going to blame it on whoever's in power, no
6:28
Speaker 2: matter what.
6:29
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
6:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the betterment of all people whatever.
6:35
Speaker 3: They don't care, wors know what's bothering them.
6:37
Speaker 1: Wars could traditionally go either way. They can be we're
6:41
Speaker 1: voting you all out because you're to blame for this mess,
6:44
Speaker 1: or we're keeping you in there because we're in the
6:47
Speaker 1: middle of this and we don't want to change horses
6:48
Speaker 1: in the middle of the race, right. Yeah, Yeah, it
6:50
Speaker 1: could go either way, So anyway, we'll see what happens.
6:53
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let you know that they have
6:55
Speaker 1: postponed those anticipated bombings four or five days, and hopefully
7:01
Speaker 1: that is a good sign that will lead to some
7:03
Speaker 1: good things. Also in the news today is the ice
7:06
Speaker 1: troops at airports replacing the missing TSA workers. And I've
7:12
Speaker 1: seen so many people online today they're just expressing outrage.
7:17
Speaker 1: This has something the federal garment should be. Do you
7:21
Speaker 1: mean like the FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, that's federal. How
7:27
Speaker 1: about those new TSA compliant driver's licenses, those are federal?
7:31
Speaker 1: Why does it not make sense to have federal officers
7:35
Speaker 1: handling the TSA work. It's not a valid argument as
7:40
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, but I've got no problem with it.
7:43
Speaker 1: They are not wearing masksis I like to make sure
7:48
Speaker 1: I hit that s on the end. And so far
7:51
Speaker 1: I don't believe there have been any arrest. But if
7:54
Speaker 1: you are an illegal alien trying to enter this country
7:57
Speaker 1: or move about in this country and you're on a
7:59
Speaker 1: plane and catch you and oh well, maybe that's just
8:06
Speaker 1: me A two one WTV and the number mark, I'm sorry, Frank,
8:09
Speaker 1: you're on sixth n WTV at height.
8:11
Speaker 4: Okay, Chuck, hey, real quick, everybody's complaining. I see him
8:16
Speaker 4: on the news all weekend. Oh my god, four dollars
8:19
Speaker 4: a gallon gas? Does anybody remember when Biden was in office,
8:23
Speaker 4: and it was five dollars and ten cents, five dollars
8:25
Speaker 4: and eleven cents. And you know that was before all
8:30
Speaker 4: the inflation that was caused by the ridiculous economic policies
8:35
Speaker 4: of the Biden Obama administration. All right, so what would
8:39
Speaker 4: what would it be now? It's four dollars? Okay? Well,
8:43
Speaker 4: part of that is the inflation from the Biden situation,
8:47
Speaker 4: all right, and and Obama situation.
8:50
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Frank, there are so many people out there that
8:52
Speaker 1: don't get that. I just saw something from one of
8:55
Speaker 1: the lefty things on Facebook yesterday that was, uh, it
9:00
Speaker 1: was completely exonerating the Biden administration and completely blaming Trump
9:05
Speaker 1: forty five for all of the economic woes of the
9:09
Speaker 1: COVID era. That we wouldn't have had those problems had
9:12
Speaker 1: the Trump policies not unlikely. Man, do you just believe
9:16
Speaker 1: anything they tell you? I mean, does anybody actually think
9:19
Speaker 1: through anything before they posted to social media anymore?
9:23
Speaker 4: They lie? They lied, they lied. Remember when the Soviet
9:27
Speaker 4: news what was it task and everybody would just make
9:30
Speaker 4: fun of them because it was just ridiculous the way
9:33
Speaker 4: they would spend the truth. Right, Yes, well that's what
9:36
Speaker 4: we have now. Chuck Schumer had a faux Paul and
9:40
Speaker 4: said we need to fund ICE now, and then he
9:43
Speaker 4: caught himself. Well on the news shows, they didn't show that.
9:48
Speaker 4: They showed when he recovered and you know, was saying
9:51
Speaker 4: about homeland security and all that. But he came right
9:54
Speaker 4: out and said it, you know, psychological utterance or whatever.
9:58
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, and they they cover it up, They
10:02
Speaker 4: cover it up. Lies, you know, uh, just lies upon lies, man.
10:07
Speaker 1: And it's all about the agenda. I appreciate you, Frank,
10:09
Speaker 1: thanks very much. You know, people don't care about whether
10:11
Speaker 1: it's right or wrong, good or bad. They don't see
10:14
Speaker 1: the big picture. It's all about our side's gonna win.
10:18
Speaker 1: We're gonna win. I don't care whose side wins. I
10:23
Speaker 1: care the country wins. But again, I'm an archaic dinosaur. Finally,
10:31
Speaker 1: did you see, Zach, did you see the story about
10:33
Speaker 1: the new statue that was erected in Washington, D C? Today?
10:37
Speaker 1: I said, erected, erected with an ED on the end.
10:40
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? Erected has an D on the end?
10:42
Speaker 1: I said, erected in Washington, D C.
10:44
Speaker 3: Today, Columbus. Yes, yeah, I saw, well, I saw the
10:47
Speaker 3: headlineer to get to read it.
10:48
Speaker 1: I find it unusual that Washington, d C. Now has
10:51
Speaker 1: a new statue honoring Christopher Columbus as a great explorer and,
10:55
Speaker 1: as it says on the plaque on the front, the
10:56
Speaker 1: discoverer of America. Although that can be disputed, especially your
11:00
Speaker 1: last name is Vespucci. However, we don't have one, and
11:05
Speaker 1: we're Columbus.
11:07
Speaker 3: We did have one.
11:08
Speaker 1: We did have one. It's in it's in hiding now.
11:10
Speaker 1: It's uh. Andy Ginther placed it into some sort of
11:13
Speaker 1: witness protection program.
11:14
Speaker 3: Can he take it?
11:15
Speaker 1: At like three in the morning, Yeah, between three and
11:17
Speaker 1: four in the morning, the crew showed up. They took
11:18
Speaker 1: the statue from in front of city Hall, made it disappear.
11:22
Speaker 1: It is still in an undisclosed location as far as
11:24
Speaker 1: I know. He won't tell us where it is, and
11:29
Speaker 1: and there is. There was no input from the voters.
11:31
Speaker 1: There was no uh, there was no that wasn't even
11:33
Speaker 1: a community meeting about it.
11:35
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's anything.
11:37
Speaker 1: He didn't want it. He didn't like it. So how
11:40
Speaker 1: but how seriously, how can you be the mayor of Columbus,
11:44
Speaker 1: in a city called Columbus and remove a statue of
11:48
Speaker 1: Columbus because of what it represents. You didn't change the
11:53
Speaker 1: name of the city.
11:54
Speaker 2: Well, I don't need anybody. I don't need anybody's opinion
11:57
Speaker 2: or the people's opinion. The mayor said that was it's
12:00
Speaker 2: a good thing to do, so I'm with them.
12:01
Speaker 1: If it was really a good thing to do, if
12:03
Speaker 1: you really had the courage of your convictions, and you
12:06
Speaker 1: knew that you would not face any sort of backlash,
12:09
Speaker 1: if you were on the right track, and you believe
12:11
Speaker 1: the people of the city that you represent or allegedly
12:14
Speaker 1: so would be behind you, you would have done this
12:17
Speaker 1: out in the open, not in the middle of the night.
12:21
Speaker 1: I don't know how we do it, but we need
12:23
Speaker 1: to get a ballot issue going here to get that
12:25
Speaker 1: statue back up. Or maybe that's just me.
