  Speaker 1: A short time ago, the United States military began major
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: American people by eliminating eminent threats from the Iranian regime,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a vicious.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Group of very hard, terrible people. Well look, months of
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: watching the Iranian government kill their protesters, the Iranians that
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: wanted it free Iran. I mean, that was how to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: be the impetus to what's been going on the last
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: few weeks. And here at one look at alex media.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I've not really done much about the discussions with Iran
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: because that's all they were. They were talks. Talks failed,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: talks were back up. But I had a feeling yesterday
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: when Trump said, you know, on the tarmac and outside
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the White House recording his Chopper Air Force one, I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: had a feeling that when he said, well, won't keep talking,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, okay, because we gave them chance after
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: chance after chance to come to a deal, and there
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: was no deal done yesterday or the night before. So
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to all the raging and I know there's gonna be
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: raging leftists about this, my talk to you today is, uh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this wasn't just a bombing out of nowhere. These attacks
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and I Ran are not just coming out of nowhere,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: they're strategic and general dracqet. You know, there's are saying
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it's gonna last long to try and uproot that regime
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and put better people and more democratic of a republic
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: in Iran, not an Islamic republic, but a republic in Iran.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And even just the news saying a Free Iran group
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: announces provisional government to transfer sovereignty after the US and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Israel attack. There's a ten point plan for the country
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: if the Iranian regime fails. I would love to get
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: them on, the Free Iran Group. I'd love to get
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: them on to figure it out, because look, the Iranian
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: people are not the problem. We saw this with the protesters.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: They were getting killed and beaten up for standing up
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to their government, a tyrannical government. But since the Iran
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Deal in twenty fifteen and all the millions of dollars
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that were funneled to them after both in the Obama
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and Biden inisrations, if you ask me, then what's the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: alternative stopping the regime would be one. I didn't ever
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: think attacking them was the answer, but but here we are,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and I understand where where trum and I think we're
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: both this morning pissed that Iran or in a way
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: goading us to do this by not agreeing to a deal. Now,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: what was the deal? What was all the talks about?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You asked that failed to come to an agreement. Well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: according to time, no deal after US Iran talks lead
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to no deal, a mid risk of devastating war. Here's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: where things stand. US and I Ran officials connect conducted
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: one of their most intentions of negotiations on Thursday, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: failed to reach a deal and made an escalating row
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: over nuclear capabilities. Of course, Trump really did not want
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: them to have nuclear capabilities when Obama made that deal. Uh,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he believed that they were gonna self inspect themselves. That
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: was the difference here. No, no, You're not gonna get
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: away with that under Trump's administration. And again the following
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of money, I mean that we saw millions go into
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: these terrorist arms of Iran. But just yesterday Trump agreed
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: additional talks would take place, but reiterated his restlessness over
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the absence of a deal. He said, I'm not happy
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: with the fact they're not willing to give us what
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we have to have. I'm not thrilled with that. We
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: have to see what happens. Then, of course they cleared
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the embassy in Israel, non emergency personnelity to the fleet,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the embassy in Israel, and then you wake up this
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: morning and you hear this.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: A short time ago, the United States military began major
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: American people by eliminating eminent threats from the Iranian regime,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a visual.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: A visious regime. Look, I'm gonna talk to the right
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: right now as well. Now only I'm Alex for me,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk to them as well. This does not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: feel like a win either. This does not feel like
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a win to have to attack Iran to get them
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to either agree and if they don't, we're gonna kick
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: their regime out. And I like that idea. I want
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: them out. I think the tyrannical regime. However, However, this
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: is not a win today. This is a The US
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: had to do what it had to do, Israel had
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to do what it had to do to keep Iran
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: at bay, and the next steps to follow. But this
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: isn't a win for anybody because we shouldn't have gotten here.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I remember in twenty fifteen this campaign that I had
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: really started talking about about, you know, trying to be
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: diplomatic with Iran. I meanwhile, I remember years and years
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on PBS news how bad the Iran regime was and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: how we could never make a deal. I mean, making
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: deals with them and Cuba at that time were unprecedented.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But Obama tried to normalize relations with everybody, even dictatorial regimes.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying Obama's to fully. But however, this
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: is not just a attack built about a nowhere. No,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: this is a ten year situation because I remember Trump
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: wanted to specifically get us out of the Iran deal
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: because he's how bad it was. He saw that they
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: weren't gonna really self report themselves, they weren't gonna really
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: be transparent. This deal that was done eleven years ago
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: now led to this moment because this deal eleven years
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: ago said to them, you could do whatever you want.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You could build what everyone we're not gonna really keep
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: an eye we say we are, we're not really going
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to do that. You could build up your capabilities. That's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: why Trump went an attack a couple of years ago
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: when he first got an office. I mean, and now
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it's a brilliant attack to shut down their major nuclear
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: operational systems. But for the right to celebrate this, it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: not a win either. It's not a win either because
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: now we're gonna all be on edge, We're gonna all
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: be afraid. How will Iran retaliate? Well, they have have
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: proxies that try and attack the US. If I'm the MIPD,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I barricade and I block, and I protect all churches,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: all synagogues around the country and then around the city.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I hope law enforcements are on guard today because whenever
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: something like this happens, you wonder what the retaliation is.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So I can't sit there and say, hey, we struck.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I ran. No, it's not a good day. It's really
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: not a good day when you think about it, because
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it's almost like I ran forced our hand and I look, hello, Lo,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I agree that there was a lot of chances given.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But if you're not gonna make a deal, and you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: be straight with us about nuclear we're not gonna make
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a deal with you. We're going to attack you. That
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: is Trump's mentality. And I mean, look, whether you like
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it or not. That's just what it is. I think
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: he was pushed to this point. I i'd say it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: had to happen, but maybe it did. But we can't
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: be celebrating this on any side. We can't also be
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: ah so critical of it because then you're looking like
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you're defending the Iranian regime and there's really nothing to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: be critical about. You gave this Trump and this admitstation,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: gave them time to agree to limit their nuclear developments,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and and and they just wouldn't agree. And in a way,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Trumpets smart that he had all these talks before doing anything,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: because you know, I think that's what it what he
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to do for a while. It's just he couldn't
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: make it look like he was wanted to do that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: But this is not a win. This today is not
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a win. It's a show of defense for Israel, which
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: we need to see. And it's also a show of fafo.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: That's what it is, fafo. But we couldn't keep going
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: on like the Obama ministration throwing money at it. Given
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the millions for the Biden mutation, we had to act.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's where the difference is. We're not going to give
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: them money for them to funnel into their terroristic arms.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: That doesn't work either. But after eleven years of Tom
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and I ran on this podcast, I am saddened that
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it hit this point because I thought the whole point
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: was to avoid this kind of conflict. But they wouldn't agree.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Trump was getting impatient and restless, and we know what
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: happens when that happened. I just thought I was gonna
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: push the button after the Skotis didn't agree with his tariffs,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: because he does seem a bit hoheaded like that, Oh
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna agree with me, I would to strike
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I read now. I mean I was ready for that
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a week ago, but now and I like what David
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Portner had said on actually said we don't know what
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: intel the president had, and so why are we acting
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: like we do? Portnoy said, Uh, even Boli introducepised him,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: but briefed him. But we're brief in the situation. Seem
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to agree with this operation. I guess a lot of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: podcasters know better. Got to keep the lights on somehow.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Borderline traders be asking me, I ran, it's a terror
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: in nation for the long history of some of the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: worst human rights strocities, and they hate Americans. They hate Israel,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: they hate all Jews. Yes, and there needs to be
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a culture change. And this is the other point about
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all of this, because at the same breath, something that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: goes that is we were gonna have a friendly takeover
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of Cuba yesterday, and so with these strikes, with what
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: we do with Maduro and getting rid of that kingpin
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and bring him to justice in America. I can't know
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that, but Trump pulled it off with this
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: operation and now we're gonna uproot that regime because we
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: know the Iranian people deserve better, they want better. The
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Free Iran Group has already started plans to make it
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a freer country. Maybe they just need to push from
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the Trump because look, you can do that under Comani.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: But what I hope is after all of these operations
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: are done and a new culture is set within these governments,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: uh that it's just a better life. And I'm trying
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to figure out how the US can pull that off
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: in these different regions. It's going to take weeks in
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: every facet of what they're trying to do to change
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the culture of these governments that have been dictatorial, tyrannical
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: atrocities committed killing their own dissidents an effort. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you want to show the world that you can go
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: after these different countries, President Trump, and do the one
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: where everybody criticized you most approved putin. For God's sakes,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: if you're doing this and all these other regions, just
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: go after the guy that everybody says you're too in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: bed with. That would be the answer that would shut
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: everybody up, because he is the guy. And by the way, Russia,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I ran our allies, right, but he's the guy that everybody,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: including myself, say he's too close to. Well, if you're
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: doing all these operations in Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and do
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: it in Russia, try and make that a diplomacy. If
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you're really about the diplomatic causes here for these regions
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and that the US should be responsible for bringing those
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in order to keep safety but also to bring about
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: culture changes, then go after the one that everybody says
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: your clue too close to. I said this after the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Maduro capture. I'm gonna say it here. You're showing the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: might of America by doing all these operations, and to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: defend the American people from the fent demonstration from the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: part from the narco terrorist someone and to this nuclear
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: building that Iran still does and at least we're not
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: giving them money to do it. But again, if you
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: if you want to flex this power, flex this mighty,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: try and change these cultures. The next should be Russia
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: because that would shut everybody up. That would shut everybody
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: up that you are too in bed with No, I'm not,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that's what that would show. So if we're going to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: go here and try and change all these different regions,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: then go there and try and change that region too.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: And I love Biden saying he didn't even bring up
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the Biden the Russian Ukraine War at the State of
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the Union. Well maybe he's got something going on there
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: too that we don't know about. But Biden to criticized
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that as rich because he's a guy that's a minor incursion.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. I was I'm like, you're the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: guy that said there was my an incursion. To do
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: anything about it? Here, at least we are president that
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: does something when he knows there could be a tacks afoot. Now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: am I completely happy about it? No, I'm not happy
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: about it. Today. None of us should be happy that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we had to get to this point. And you know
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Reagan often said peace through strength, that was one of
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: his monikers. And then and then you know also also
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: there could be peace through diplomacy. But you cannot talk
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to these people, this regime in Iran. You cannot. But
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I think this is the alternative. We're seeing it in
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: real time because I remember when you know, they were
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: giving money in the Biden musician Trump Obamastication administration. They
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: were throwing money at it instead of trying to actually
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: cease their operations. We said, what's the alternative. Well, the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: alternative has always been to attack Iran, but it was
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: so put off and prolonged until today February twenty eighth
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: from the President of the United States said this.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: A short time ago, the United States military began major
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: car bet operations in Iran.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Are objected, and there you go, he's knocking him out
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: one by one. But my message to President from today
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: is while you're fixing all these other regions, continue to
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: keep an eye on the communities you were voted to protect,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: so that Minudieapolis doesn't blow up, so that there aren't
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: any inflamed riots in New York City, keep an eye
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: on your own country too, because we need that state
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: of the Union to be stronger than ever and united
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: as ever. If we're attacking the one country everybody thought
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: would lead to World War three, this is where you
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: need to express unity across the country. And this where
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: in my view, although I thought that was a pretty
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: strong moment, whoever's in America now, now we all gotta
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: buckle in illegal or not, American said not. We all
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: gotta buckle in together because this is the fight. This
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: is the fight we were all trying to avoid. But
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: it's here now. It's here now, and I don't care
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: about your you know status. What I care is we
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: all buckle up together and protect this country. And that's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: my message on one look a Balaxamy
