Banter, Hats, And Housekeeping

SPEAKER_06 0:28

Oh, hey, hi. How are you?

SPEAKER_04 0:30

I'm good. How are you?

SPEAKER_06 0:32

Oh my goodness. Clay is so tolerant. He's so tolerant. You're so patient with me. I I just, you know, I I came right off the bat discombobulated and a little bit of a mess over here. And Clay's just like, no worries. It's all good. So thank you for that. How are you?

SPEAKER_04 0:47

I'm doing good. I uh you know, you know, when women change their hairstyle, uh-huh. That's a big, big deal.

SPEAKER_06 0:56

It is.

SPEAKER_03 0:58

Put on a different hat for the first time in three years. And like for a guy who's a hat guy, it's uh that's that's a big, big deal.

SPEAKER_06 1:07

That is a big deal. And you know, so I oh I always uh joke about my uh lack of awareness that I'm like the most unobservant person, and this confirms it. Didn't even notice, Clay. Didn't even notice. I am like I'm I'm a guy, right? Like you know how they always say like the guys never notice the haircut or the hair color change and whatever. I am just as bad as a guy. I really can't, I can't even. It's a very nice hat. I like it. I think it looks great.

SPEAKER_04 1:32

My old hat, my old hat was that I've worn on every show we've ever done.

SPEAKER_06 1:36

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 1:37

Um, was uh from my first book, Keep Moving, Keep Shooting. It was a logo hat, and I've been wearing it for three years, and it's really gross and disgusting and has its own smell and all of those things. And so I decided to get a new hat made. So I, you know, did this. That's the title of the third book. And so I love it. New hat.

SPEAKER_06 1:54

I love it. I think I think it's gonna be uh very pleasing to that one guy in the comment section who obsesses over what you're wearing all the time.

SPEAKER_04 2:03

There is there is a guy. There is a guy.

SPEAKER_06 2:06

He's like uh I don't I don't know if I'd call him a super fan, but he's uh super interested in what you're wearing. It's like, dude, it's gonna be another one, another one that loses his man card. Like, don't like worry less about what somebody's wearing, dude. Like, especially another guy, like calm yourself.

SPEAKER_04 2:23

Worry about stuff like uh Iran or the uh Clinton testimony or even Megan Rapino.

Setting The Agenda

SPEAKER_06 2:31

Yeah, exactly. Plenty of things to worry about. Uh Clay Lee's gave you a little hint. Here we go, talking about what's gonna be on the show. Take a listen and then we'll get started.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

Tonight on the show. Bombs bursting over Iran as America and Israel take down a tyrant. How did we get here and what's next? Then a tragic shooting in Austin raises red flags about terror ties. The Clintons faced the music on that feet. Finally. And Megan Rapino mouthed off again, proving some folks never learned. Join Elsa and Clay for the fact, the fury, and a few laughs along the way.

SPEAKER_06 3:02

Oh, we've got it all. We've got it all. That's how we roll, right? Uh so first off, um, Clay, as you well know, I'm gonna be, you know, pretty much handing this right over to you. Um, but before I do, I'm gonna do a I'm gonna do a couple things here. One, I'm gonna give everybody just kind of the quick rundown, and Clay's gonna go deeper into this and and give some of the the insights. And before I even do either of those things, I I'm gonna I'm gonna send a little message to uh to certain people in our comment section. And and I know this, I feel like I'm turning this into the comment section entire show, but it just it ties in. And I was thinking about this this morning and my blood was already starting to like pre-boil. Because I there's always, again, there's always that dude in the comment section. He usually says things like dude, um, who says something like, Who's this guy? What does he know? Right? You know exactly, you know exactly what I'm talking about, Clay, and anybody who's been right. And um I I'm gonna give you an end listen, Clay is the last person that needs me to defend him, to step up for him. He is a big boy and he can handle y'all just fine. Um, but I am going to do it anyway. So help me, God, guys, really. Like if you come in with the what does this guy know? I'm just gonna politely suggest to you that you shut your mouth, go to his website and take a look. Because please don't come in here and talk to me or uh any of us about what a combat military veteran of. I'm sorry, how many tours?

SPEAKER_03 4:35

Five, five, yeah.

Operation Epic Fury Overview

SPEAKER_06 4:37

Five. Yeah. Don't do it. Don't you're just gonna, I mean, listen, you know what? Do it. I take back that. Please do give me a reason. Give me a reason to unleash because I will, I will, because I'm not gonna, I will not tolerate. So there is that, there's just a little bit of I'm very, very my husband is is a marine Gulf War veteran. Uh, you are my other veteran here. I am highly protective of what you guys have done. So if somebody comes in, you are all you're forewarned. You're forewarned. It's gonna be a bloodbath. So just saying, okay, good, for good. And yes, I know you don't need me to do that, but it's the way it is. Um, all right. So now back down to the business. Um, so for any of you that doesn't know, back in late February, we're like end of the month, um, US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury. They dropped nearly 900 bombs on Iran's top leaders, military spots, nuclear plants, and missile bases. Um, key guys like Supreme Leader Ali Khameni, did I say it right? Thank you. Uh, and some revolutionary guards, I'm sorry, guard bosses got taken out. Uh, Trump calls it a must-do to stop Iran from attacking the U.S. Um what else? So that that's kind of the gist of it. Now, obviously, um, there is a great deal of division within the right specter as to just opinions. And and on one side, and I know you're gonna, I will go into all of that. I want you to obviously do your part here. Um, but I definitely want to talk about those two very different factions and and I kind of want to hear your thoughts on it, and then I'll give my super amateur opinions on it, which may change based on what I hear you say. So give them give them the the info, Clay.

Targets, Tactics, And Aims

SPEAKER_04 6:30

Okay. So, like you said, uh 28th of February, um, you know, started Operation Epic Fury, which truthfully I think is what the the terrible operational name. It just is. Um, there's some salesmanship that goes into it. If you've ever been in a room and you're pitching an operation to a big boss, whether it's a three, four-star, you know, service chief or the president of the United States, there's some salesmanship that goes in, and I'm sure the name Epic Fury was part of that salesmanship. But it is what it is. So um, you know, this is a very different operation than Venezuela, which wasn't that long ago. Venezuela was a very, very precision, uh, special operations-oriented, you know, um, essentially snatch operation uh that put you know boots on the ground and for a very specific reason for a very short period of time. That's not what this is. Operation Epic Fury, like you said, was the United States and Israel, specifically the U.S. Air Force and Navy, along with Israel, uh conducting precision airstrikes uh all across Iran for various reasons. They targeted, like you said, that the focus of this is to destroy leadership. It's not even to remove or eat and and I know regime change is at the end of this, but you can't do that without removing leadership. And so targeted leadership. Um, and then destroying nuclear capabilities. And I know a lot of people are saying, well, a year ago they told us that we they did that already. Well, okay, what countries do? They dusted themselves off after us and Israel went in and bombed crap out of them um and destroyed their nuclear facility, and they started over somewhere else. The knowledge they lost, you know, facilities and some capabilities, but they picked themselves up and they kept moving forward. So you know, so we targeted nuclear facilities, nuclear development research facilities. We targeted their Navy, uh, we targeted their Air Force, uh, which both have been essentially eliminated. Um, and then also we have to remember that Iran is the number one supporter of terror in the world. State sponsored terror, okay? IRGC, which we talk about, is essentially their special operations command, and they are the ones who've been funding, feeding, you know, arming Hamas, Hezbollah, and all these other, you know, terrible terror factions around the world. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:48

So let me just interject too that, you know, for all of them, their slogan is death to America.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

Yeah. So yeah, go on. Yeah. So and and that is, you know, and it's been that way for you know decades. Um, and it's undeniable. So, you know, so we did in partnership with Israel, we flew in, conducted airstrikes, we conducted missile strikes, there were some naval attacks. In fact, I saw today, I don't know if you've seen, we had the first submarine torpedo sinking of a vessel since World War II.

SPEAKER_06 9:20

Really? I did not see that.

SPEAKER_04 9:22

U.S. submarine rolled in, punched out a torpedo, sank an Iraq or an Iranian uh naval vessel, which is the first time that's happened in 80 years, which is pretty awesome. You know, the Navy is like there, this is a yeah. Um, but so we we did that. And in the first 24 hours, significant damage, right? We killed Yayatola Khamenei, right, the Supreme Leader, along with about 40 different other key leaders within their government. Um cycled 24 hours. They they again did what countries do. They put second, you know, second-tier folks in. Hey, you replace him, hey, you replace him.

SPEAKER_05 9:59

Right.

Iran’s Regional Retaliation

SPEAKER_04 10:00

We flew in again and we killed them. Literally, the first replacement for the Ayatollah was in the seat for less than 24 hours, and he got killed too. So again, the focus continues to be on removing leadership and removing capabilities within Iran. Now, their response was to hate everybody. They unleashed on the entire region. I actually have um the list here, and some of this is amazing. So they were not only targeting the U.S., they were targeting friends of the U.S., they were targeting obviously Israel, of course. But some of this was just unleashing hate in general. So um they launched attacks into Iraq, Kuwait, uh, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus for crying out loud, uh, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. Okay. And it was everything from drones to missiles to they put aircraft in the air to all kinds of things. Um so they they unleashed what they what they had available and continue to do at opportunity. Now, listen, unfortunately, when when we embark on these things, there are inevitably going to be casualties. Um, and unfortunately, that has happened thus far. We've had six American service members killed. Uh, they were from the 103rd Sustainment Command, which was a uh U.S. Army Reserve unit out of Des Moines, Iowa. Um, and you know, those service members initially it was reported as four. Um, there were some folks who were missing that they found uh later on and then confirmed them dead as well. So um unfortunately, there have been six uh, you know, kill six American service members killed in action. Um obviously, we you know, we're our hearts, my heart especially goes down to them, to their family, to their unit, their unit who still has to do their job and continue on. Um a tough thing to do at times, but um but that that that did happen. Now we also had um you know a mistake by the Kuwaitis, yeah, uh, who um shot down three US F-15 E strike Eagles, uh, which are a crew of two. Uh thankfully, none of those six uh air crew members, pilot and uh uh I think they're called an intercept officer, uh the back seater in the aircraft.

SPEAKER_05 12:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 12:19

Um they were all uh ejected, they were all recovered. In fact, there's some great footage. I saw that a young woman who landed in Kuwait and three Kuwaitans ran up to her, you know, and you know, grabbed her and took selfies in the whole nine yards, and they were so thankful for everything she's done. Um so thankfully, again, the loss of three aircraft, but we still have the three air crews and and they're okay. Now, yeah. All of that being said, uh, people are wondering beyond the surface if there is a reason why we're doing this. Again, the question of, well, didn't we destroy their nuclear capability a year ago? Yes, but they'll continue to build and they're not taking the risk. Um and they never will. They never will. It's never stopping. They've found and determined to be a nuclear power, a nuclear threat to civilized society, to the Western world, and any non-Muslim country. Um, so there's that. Um so this is a long time coming, folks. I mean, Iran has been responsible for the death of Americans going back as far back as you know, 1983, the Beirut bombing, right? That's state-sponsored terrorism. Iranians were directly responsible. You can move all the way forward into you know the war in Iraq. Uh, you know, when when we were there from you know 2003 to uh whenever it was we left, 2013-ish, uh, in mass numbers, and then obviously we've been there for a long time afterwards.

SPEAKER_05 13:43

Right.

SPEAKER_04 13:43

People think that was just a war in Iraq, but it was a war against terrorists, and those terrorists were being funded and equipped with specific capabilities that we know came from Iran.

SPEAKER_06 13:52

Yeah.

U.S. Casualties And Kuwait Incident

SPEAKER_04 13:53

Um, so they've been killing Americans for a long time, and they're not gonna stop.

SPEAKER_06 13:56

No.

SPEAKER_04 13:56

Um so you know, why did we do this? Uh and and it really is because every effort, stupid effort in many cases, at diplomacy has failed. Right. Right? President Obama gave them billions of dollars. Billions. And if you haven't seen it, there's a great quote. Uh there's an actually a film clip of Senator Marco Rubio predicting exactly what was going to happen after that money was given to Iran. I think it's circa 2013-ish, I think. Um, but if you go to his social media, Marco Rubio Social Media, it's there and you can find it. And it's a great clip because he says they're gonna take this money, they're gonna pursue nuclear power, they're gonna continue to fund terrorism, they're gonna do, you know, and he lays everything out, and it all came true because he is that good. Um, so yeah, is this, you know, was this inevitable? Yes. Was it the right time to do it? I believe so. Um, and and I think it's been not I think, I know it's been a long time coming and it's probably overdue in many cases.

SPEAKER_05 15:04

Right.

SPEAKER_04 15:05

But I will tell you the things that people are not grasping, you know, the people that you and I have been talking about, like the you know, all the people with the I support Ukraine and the blue and yellow flags and the front yard. Oh, yeah, they're the same people who are upset because we attacked Iran. Yeah, right, right, right. Listen, it's the white suburban females, let's be honest, okay? It's the white suburban female democrats. Yeah. What they don't realize because they're all surface level and they don't do any research is that Iran is the number one, has been the number one supplier of drones to Russia that they have been using to kill and you know and execute war on Ukraine. Right. When I say number one, 52,000 drones from Iran to Russia.

SPEAKER_06 15:55

So if you Yeah, I guarantee they're oblivious of any of that.

SPEAKER_04 15:58

If you support Ukraine, be ultimately happy about us taking Iran out of the equation.

SPEAKER_05 16:05

Right.

SPEAKER_04 16:06

Because that takes the drone warfare by the Russians essentially off the table or significantly cripples it. Right. So there's there's that, right? There's also the fact that the two greatest oil exporters to China happen to be Iran and Venezuela. Well, how about that? Have lost that capability in the last 60 days. So if you think that President Trump isn't playing 4D chess, you're crazy.

SPEAKER_06 16:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

He knows exactly what he's doing. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 16:40

Absolutely does.

SPEAKER_04 16:42

Um and so and on top of that, there's been a couple of other forced functions that have come along in this. We've had some pushback from nations like England and most recently Spain. Okay. Um, you know, the UK said we can't use any of their bases to prosecute this operation, and then all of a sudden a missile landed, you know, an Iranian, either a drone or a missile landed on Cyprus on an on a British base, and then all of a sudden they were on board.

unknown 17:08

Yeah.

Why Now: Deterrence And Diplomacy’s Failure

SPEAKER_04 17:09

The Spaniards told us, get you you can't do this out of Rota Spain, which we've had an airbase in Rota Spain forever, and suddenly their president said you can't do this. And President Trump said, Okay, you're the one nation who hasn't contributed to NATO at the 5% that everybody else is on board with. I'm just gonna stop all trade, right?

SPEAKER_06 17:27

He went straight economic on the straight economic on them.

SPEAKER_04 17:32

And in less than 24 hours, guess who's back on board? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 17:35

How about that? How about that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:38

Um, you know, kind of lastly, the thing that most people also didn't realize is that, you know, with the Iranian Navy out of the way, um, there was a pile up of of oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz, right? Being somewhat harassed, there was no real protection, um, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, as soon as we attacked Iran, um, Lloyd Zelondon, who is the number one maritime insurance dealer in the world, um, they started either canceling policies or jacking rates to four or five times what people had been paying for maritime insurance. What did President Trump do? He stepped in and he said, We will escort those oil tankers, we will take on insuring them, and we will make sure that they move smoothly and safely through the Straits of Hormouth. Now, people will look at that and they say, Oh, well, that's just an economic move. He's trying to blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, if we secure them and we're providing naval escort and we're providing the insurance, you know what else we get to do? Inspect them. We get to hoard them. We get to look and see what's on them and who's operating them. Again, folks, this is for the chest.

SPEAKER_05 18:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:50

He is so far ahead of everybody, it's not even funny.

SPEAKER_06 18:54

Yeah. That's right. When you hear, you know, just every Joe Schmoe and Susie Smarty pants spouting off on social media like they know anything. Like, I'll give myself this one credit. If I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, I keep my mouth shut. And I've actually kept my mouth pretty much shut on this whole thing because I I'm honestly in the, you know, I mentioned at the top of this, um, you know, talking about the the divide within the the right, uh, the conservatives on this. And, you know, so I'm I'm in the listening to both perspectives. And the one thing that keeps shining through is it on this is that all of the people that I hear spouting opinions, because that's what they are, um, they don't have the inside information. And I know that they don't have the inside information. And I'm even talking about your Marjorie Taylor Green's, you know, who's been spouting off about this, her, her opinion on this. And, you know, even listening to her, listen, I know she's boxed out. You're boxed out, lady. You're not, you're not in on these meetings, you're not in on uh any of this stuff. And, you know, you've kind of aligned yourself with this, you know, anti-Israel faction that, you know, anything that do that has to do with Israel, you're against it. Or, you know, so I'm having a hard time listening to her. And, you know, her big thing, correct me if I'm wrong, her big thing is like the whole America first. This is, you know, that's what she keeps saying. This is not what I signed on for. You know, I signed on for this because I believe in America first, America first. And I I read somebody else say a quote that really stuck out to me. And it's America first doesn't mean America only.

SPEAKER_05 20:41

Yeah.

Ukraine, Drones, Oil, And 4D Chess

SPEAKER_06 20:42

And and that resonated with me, you know. So if if I'm gonna lean somewhere, I'm I I feel that I'm going to lean with it. I feel like I'm gonna lean with that, like just because we're America first, we're not America only. And this is actually based on everything that you've said, everything that I've read, um, this is American interest we're talking about, like American lives. These, you know, thanks to Biden and Obama before him, letting all of these illegals in, you know, this isn't just people from Mexico and wherever else. This is, these are there are actual sleeper cells all across this country that we know darn well, if you have any sense of anything, of course they're either monitoring the ones that they know or actively seeking out the ones that they have suspicions of. So, I mean, they're here. And these are people who believe that it's an honor to die for their what they believe. And what they believe is, again, back to the top of this death to America and Americans. So we've seen enough incidents already that we should get this. We should, we really should be getting this at this point that we're not playing by the same rules. We're not playing by the same moral, uh, ethical, humane standards. You are fighting against people who are very happy and thrilled to kill. their own. And the irony, of course, is we're talking about uh you mentioned the uh suburban white liberals um who are outraged by this. And, you know, how infuriating is that when we're talking about uh a people, Iranian people who have been so brutally oppressed and tortured and killed simply for being female, simply for uh being gay. You're getting, they're getting stoned, they're getting thrown off of rooftops, they're getting beaten, uh, children. Uh these are people that you should not be championing, you know, like not even remotely. I will say, you know, I I'm catching things from um Matt Walsh who's been vocal. However, I will say I think he's um I I think he is at least offering a voice of questioning reserve. I think he's kind of playing, I think he's standing on the line, you know, he's he's questioning everything standing he's not really, I don't think he's really making like a big strong stand. So I guess you could kind of say to that like well, you know, you got to stand somewhere, right? Like if you're gonna open your mouth and and talk about this, you know, but I don't know. I personally at least respect that it's with reserve. It's questioning and reserved and trying, you know, seemingly at least trying to understand before he makes that big leap, which I guess is kind of where I'm at. Like I'm not making this big leap of an opinion um because I'm simply not qualified to.

SPEAKER_04 23:26

I'm just not you know if if you if I would tell you if you're on the fence yeah and you really are on the fence, take a look at how Iranian Americans are responding to this.

SPEAKER_06 23:38

Yes that's such a perfect example Clay. Oh my goodness.

Allies, Bases, And Economic Pressure

SPEAKER_04 23:42

Yeah if you're wondering if this was the right thing to do or if this and and listen you you brought up all the things right all the things that are happening in Iran um you know this is you know that I hate to say it but the the the handbook that they all reached for that white suburban liberal they were all reached for that the handmaiden's tale right oh yeah right for it and they right President Trump was going to turn this into the into the handmaid blah blah blah blah blah that Iran is that I Iran is that so go back and watch those videos of 1979 Iran you know and then you know pre fall of Iran pre when the Shah you know was was there and now and then when they installed the Ayatollah in 79 right look at the difference right yeah and then and then you tell me all of those people who are so afraid that President Trump is going to turn the United States in the handmaiden tail. Yeah he literally just liberated these he liberated the handmaid that's literally what it's exactly what happened okay yeah so if you don't know or don't understand or don't know how to feel watch those Iranian Americans watch the the the chanting and listen this is not death to America chanting this is you know present go president trump in places like Los Angeles in like I I mean in the blue blue places yeah you have people celebrating this um because them their families their friends their loved ones are who are still in Iran have been under the thumb on this thing and they have been tortured and killed and jailed and all of these other things. Right and so if you don't know how to feel look at that I would tell you that if your natural reaction and I don't know if you've seen this I've seen it and it irritates the crap out of me is the um well when's Baron Trump gonna sign up? When's he gonna go over there? When okay shut up to shut up serious just shut up yeah first things first I will tell you this and good for him Baron Trump is six foot nine yeah he can't serve he can't he make he's over the maximum height for all four services do it is there a waiver sure maybe but stop it second of all for those of you that are saying that and I was in Afghanistan when Prince Harry was there the first time when the press didn't know he was there and then they found out he was there and they outed him yeah and I will tell you if you think that that's a good idea for someone like that a leader's you know offspring to serve right um I will have a target on you. And not just on that person on everyone around them. Okay. So if you really want him to desperately serve that much then you are essentially um you know condemning or putting at elevated risk everybody who's anywhere near him. So you don't truthfully care about the troops because you wouldn't want that person there. Okay. But it's just that is the lashing out of the irrational people who you know that's what they feel. And and because they can't control their emotions or have rational thoughts that's their response.

SPEAKER_05 26:50

Right.

Tanker Escorts And Maritime Leverage

SPEAKER_00 26:50

And and and it is what it is and we're never going to stop those people from acting like that from saying stupid things like that because they don't think but but this is this is where we are it just is and so um listen I I'm I'm far from a war hawk folks I I really am um I you know I I did more than my time I did my time and some other folks' time but uh this was the right thing to do at the right time it is and I've you know me I've never been a fan of Secretary Hegs with handling this very very well yeah we actually have um we actually have his his statement there I want actually I want to put I'm gonna play that because I actually want to hear what you have to what you your opinions on what he had to say so here's that the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies uncontested airspace I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested air space and complete control means it means we will fly all day all night day and night finding fixing and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of the Iranian military finding and fixing their leaders and their military leaders flying over Tehran flying over Iran flying over their capital flying over the RGC Iranian leaders looking up and seeing only US and Israeli air power every minute of every day until we decide it's over yeah I I mean he's he's he's right and that yeah that was the whole purpose of eliminating their air force eliminating their Navy right and so we operated that way in Iraq and Afghanistan right essentially the entire time and so when you do that when you can control the sky as he's describing yeah then you have freedom to do essentially whatever it is that you want to do.

SPEAKER_04 28:49

And and so you know again a great briefing I I I'm not I'm not fond of the name. I am also not fond he had a press conference I think it was today where he talked about um eliminating this you know small assassin organization that has been targeting President Trump you know President Trump didn't ask for it President Trump didn't know they were on the targeting list President Trump you know it was all the Department of War Department of Defense that that did it and and they they prosecuted their targets in order in other words they stuck with the leadership and the capabilities and eventually they got down to the point where they're like okay let's get rid of these guys too listen leave that out right leave it out because what no matter what you say when you say that the American media looks at and they go oh well Trump made it personal and by the way Secretary Heggs had said oh President Trump got the last laugh again leave it out it sounds soft works unnecessary yeah yeah it sounds it sounds rookie is what it sounds like um the other part of this that truthfully I I understand the why the optics of Israel participating in this immediately changes this from regime change from overthrow from give the Iranian people the opportunity to govern themselves it gives it a different optic and it gives it a very religious optic it turns it into you know Jewish versus Muslim Israeli versus Muslim I would have preferred and I again Israel's got more of an interest in this than probably anybody but us because they're they're local yeah yeah and and they are threatened by Iran and and by their proxies.

SPEAKER_05 30:27

Right.

Movement Conservatism’s Divide

SPEAKER_04 30:27

Hamas and Hezbollah and all these other places right and so they have a vested interest and I understand why they participated I just think it clouds the optics of the why we're doing this sure and it and it just gives it a a a little bit of a tainted look to me. Sure. But they did it and and I understand why. So it is what it is. You know there's some other folks joining in so we've got the Iraqi Kurds are now moving into northern Iran that just started a few hours ago um you've also got uh who was it uh in uh I think in Syria in Lebanon uh they just told the army to start dismantling Hezbollah well right so now it's expanding in the region right everything uh that Iran had its fingers in before is now subject to uh to being destroyed so it's a it's a very interesting time and it's not stopping anytime soon.

SPEAKER_06 31:20

No and I don't really I don't think there is once you start this start it properly which is you know in in my opinion what's what is happening um it has to spread because that's you know this regime I mean you can't even call it regime right because there's so many different factions and what you know you get rid of one another one pops up to take its place and and that's what they do. This is what they have done for you know I don't know centuries I guess. So the only way you can do it is to squash them all. Like you have you have to like it unless you want to keep doing this forever um which is what we have been doing that's it's been forever. I mean this does you mention biblical times I mean this truly is um you know if you're if you're of that that mindset which you you can't help but be honest because biblical stuff is historical stuff. So it is all very very very tied together. We're actually in in church we're actually uh studying Nehemiah and it's so fascinating our our pastor actually drew some really really interesting parallels between um Nehemiah Nehemiah sorry Nehemiah Nehemiah and what's happening now and it's it's really it's fascinating. So if you guys want to do a really great study that's the one to do right now. But yeah you know I can only because you know my military knowledge uh all of those type of things are are so lacking I really like I said before I can only go with like the humanitarian angle if you are humanitarian if you claim to be a humanitarian if you claim to care about humans um and if you watch and I watched you know I the other night I don't know why I did that to myself but I watch just video after video after video of these Iranian particularly women um marching and if you watch those those marches of them you know ripping off their their garments their hijabs and and all of that and crying just it's so emotional. And if you don't feel anything for that for these people if you don't care about the you know just devastating level of oppression that they lived under and terror, fear um daily I I don't know you you really don't get to call yourself a humanitarian I don't think so if you're gonna you know wave that banner around and say that you care about women and you care about uh freedom and all of those things, you can't possibly watch those videos and not feel uh any sense of obligation, I think, to do something if you can do something. I mean you know you're always they're always crying do something you got to do something about this and championing some cause some you know like you said Ukraine you know wearing all your Ukraine flags and putting them in your profile pictures and you care so much about those people so you claim you know so why don't you care about these people like why is that different oh I know why because President Trump you know his administration is is doing the things hey let's uh let's talk very briefly about the reaction of our left leaning politicians yes yeah and the claims that this is an illegal or unconstitutional war or action by President Trump.

SPEAKER_04 34:33

Right nope so for all of those sitting in office that are making these claims um AOC right he was one she was the one that was like uh President Trump didn't ask me he didn't ask my permission he doesn't have to okay it's called the War Powers Act look it up all right um also the United States and I can count it'll take me two hands but I can count a whole bunch of conflicts that we've been involved in since the last time we declared war in World War II. Wow yeah we haven't declared war since then it's been 80 years okay so but we've been involved in you know let's see Korea and Vietnam and you know Central America multiple times and you know Africa and and Iraq twice and Afghanistan and all these other places never once declared war. But again because President Trump is in office and because he's taking action people are worked up about this.

SPEAKER_05 35:27

Right.

Human Rights And Iranian Voices

SPEAKER_04 35:27

Listen folks Congress has the power to declare war. We have not declared war the president under the War Powers Act has 60 days to do military action and he doesn't have to say jack to Congress. Okay and and that's how it works legally so for all of them that keep saying this out loud you should as much as you want to be on their side you should be appalled at how stupid they are and how ignorant of our own constitution they are because that's exactly what this is and these are the people that you elected if you're on their side and you agree with them and you voted for them you should be ashamed of them and you for electing somebody so damn dumb.

SPEAKER_06 36:02

Dumb.

SPEAKER_04 36:03

Yes and then and then the last piece and kind of transitioning topics I've been asked a whole bunch of times about sleeper cells here in the United States what I know um you know my expectations etc etc um and listen folks I I can tell you are there sleeper cells here with can I say that with confidence? Yes I can can I tell you how many there are no I can but I can tell you you know in in post 1989 when the wall fell uh when there were Soviet sleeper cells here that had been here for a long time do you know what all of them did? Nothing. You know why? Because they lived in America and it was nice here and they didn't have a support network anymore and they liked living in the West and you know what's happening probably with a whole bunch of these sleeper cells exactly the same thing.

SPEAKER_06 36:46

Right what a great point.

SPEAKER_04 36:48

Yeah right so am I saying that nothing's gonna happen I am absolutely not saying that um but we did have an incident that is being investigated in Austin I assume many of you are aware but if not and I'm not even gonna try you know me I'm pretty good at pronouncing stuff but this kind of oh I know same same there was a shooting on 6th Street in Austin if you've ever been to Austin that is the party district for the University of Texas. Been there had a few drinks it's a fun place okay um but this guy Diagain sounds good to me works for me so he is uh Senegalese uh and and walked into a nightclub and started shooting uh killed three wounded 13 eventually the police shot and killed him he was wearing a sweatshirt that said property of Allah the t-shirt underneath the sweatshirt had an Iranian flag imprinted on it and you know and he had a Koran in his car. Now any of those things individually nobody would bat an eye it is what it is put it all together and add a shooting into it and obviously it becomes very suspect. So he is being investigated. What do I know? I know that he came here on a B2 visa in 2000. Now E1 and B2 they they fall under the 90 day rule. You can have that visa for 10 years but every 90 days you're supposed to leave because otherwise it seems very fraudulent that you've been here on a tourist visa for longer than 90 days.

SPEAKER_09 38:16

Okay.

Air Dominance And Optics Of Israel’s Role

SPEAKER_04 38:16

He he he did not leave there's no record of him leaving. And in 2006 he married an American citizen and in 2013 he became naturalized. Now they have not released whether or not he is still married to that individual but you know he was here illegally all the way since 2000 from 2000 to 2006. He was on a B2 visa he was here illegally uh oh by the way you know it we can go back down that rabbit hole if we really want to but um that's his history uh he's being fully investigated is he part of a sleeper cell probably not is he a radical Muslim it looks like it on the surface but the FBI is going to do the investigation and they're gonna find out um but I would tell you stay alert and stay vigilant because you just never know.

SPEAKER_06 39:04

Yeah you you really don't and you know uh none of us I I don't think any of us should live in fear you know and I think I think that is the um that's the line we don't live in fear but we live aware you know uh just aware of our surroundings as best as you humanly can be um I am personally not I I never have really been I'm not a big fan of you know large events and gatherings music festivals and then and I've been to many of them over the years don't get me wrong uh in this day and age uh particularly you know certain high high I don't know interest areas like Texas like Florida you know Washington obviously um I personally would not be these days in attendance of which is a really sad thing to say and I realize that um but I think it's just simply a cautious thing to say uh you know my daughter just mentioned uh um a concert that she wanted to was considering going to she's you know the in Florida and uh I said honey you know you're you're an adult I'm not gonna tell you what to do but I'm telling you not to go just don't it's unnecessary it's just unnecessary. So um you know probably gonna be people that's jump in the comments and say yeah you got you can't do that you gotta live you know and do whatever you want to do. Do I just know what I'm not interested in doing um right now and um yeah I don't know crazy crazy sad but it's like yeah no I I'm gonna pass on on all of that right now for now for now for now Lisbon folks Iran was a big deal and it's gonna continue to be a big deal.

SPEAKER_04 40:45

So we we we haven't been dedicating big portions of a show to one topic but we felt that this one was pretty important and there was a lot of tentacles so we dedicated quite a bit of time to it. So um you know I hope that this portion of the show has at least has helped folks inform some folks learn some things um and at least makes you know make you a little bit uh you know more aware of what's going on and why things are happening the way they are but the world you know there's other things going on there are everybody's favorite president and secretary of state had to make an appearance in front of Congress last week.

SPEAKER_06 41:17

Oh me oh my oh me oh my yes they did yes they did and it was what's up she went first right she's she went first yes and that of course was uh very explosive uh to a degree so the big uh you know right out the gate there was a big thing uh that a photo of her was leaked um by um I've drawn a blank on her name Bobert yeah yeah um and uh I guess she sent it to Benny Johnson and he posted it and this became a big thing she kind of lost her you know what about it she was livid uh the whole thing was halted briefly uh I think there was even a question if she was going to continue she was so angry about it which is you know honestly to me it's kind of the whole thing's kind of dumb because it was going to be televised anyhow or aired anyhow so like what's the big drama does to me that seemed go ahead.

Regional Unraveling Of Proxies

SPEAKER_04 42:14

So here's what I would say I think shame on Lauren Bulbert for doing that. Yeah it was unnecessary and it violated right it violated the agreement which was essentially this is a closed door testimony. Yes it was being filmed yes it was going to be released however um you know she violated the terms and conditions of of what Secretary Clinton agreed to um and and stupidly so so I I understand um you know the the reaction from Secretary Clinton because if she's sending out pictures what else is she sending out and that really is what the concern was so it wasn't necessarily the picture um it was the fact that she was doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing you know in in agreement of the testimony so shame on Bover for doing that um shame on whoever it was you said she sent it to I think it was Benny Johnson I think for posting it like that all of that was dumb right now did Secretary Clinton overreact probably but you know we we expected fireworks out of her anyway.

SPEAKER_07 43:15

Yes yeah and she did not disappoint she was uh very fired up at key different different key moments um we do of course we have one of them so here's that's and how do you know hownick I know howard lutnick because when I was senator on 9-11 the firm he headed Cantor Fitzgerald suffered the greatest loss of life as I recall something like 650 of his employees were murdered by terrorists that day. Howard Lutnick missed being a victim because he was delayed dropping the child off to kindergarten you ask the question I'm gonna answer your question if you're gonna this was what I spent my time doing I'm a I was trying to look out for others I was trying and I'm Taking care of it.

SPEAKER_08 44:00

It's a people today. You ask me. I have Howard Epstein survivors. I'm a survivor myself. You ask emails. You denied the Jeffrey Epstein. You tried to get Jeffrey Epstein to give money to you. I did Howard Lutnick with you.

SPEAKER_07 44:15

An email with me asking Jeffrey Epstein for money.

SPEAKER_08 44:21

And his people that know about an intimate event for you at his office at Canner Fitzgerald. There was an intimate event in an email that Howard Lutnick emailed to Epstein's people and Epstein to get him to come to your intimate event at Tanner Fitzgerald, a very small event. And so I'm not going to put it. You want to yell at me? That's fine, but I'll yell right back. Okay. I am looking out for someone. I'm doing the job that you would not do and refuse to do as Secretary of State. Thank you. And I yield back to the No, I'm going to finish answering the question, George.

unknown 44:54

I have a right to do.

SPEAKER_06 44:56

So that was tense. That was tense. So I mean.

War Powers And Legal Authority

SPEAKER_04 45:04

Yeah, listen, there's all kinds of grandstanding that happened at these things. You know, we've we've seen it before, both in open and closed sessions of Congress. We've seen it from both parties, right? They ask the question, they don't let the person answer. They, you know, everybody gets all offended and pissed off, and everybody starts yelling, and it's all theater. And that's that's what that was on both sides. Right. Right. You know, she was setting her up. She tried to throw a softball setup question that Secretary Clinton was taking her sweet time answering, and then she turned it into something, you know, instead of just getting to the point. So I I am far from um defending Secretary Clinton, but I I think this all could have been conducted better in in her interview, especially. Um you know, they they ended up asking her things about aliens, they ended up asking her all kinds of things that were very irrelevant to why she was there. Um, and I and I think it was a missed opportunity uh to get more out of her because of some you know BS grain standing.

SPEAKER_06 46:06

Yeah. Yeah, I you know, uh again to to echo what you said about it being theater, really, I that really is a lot of what it was because I just again, and we go through this over and over again, I just don't see anything coming of any of this. This felt like just a big show to make it look like we're gonna we're gonna really put her in the hot seat and show her. But honestly, what does any of that matter if there's no arrest, if there's no criminal charges, if there's no consequence for being absolute garbage? I mean, to sit there and blatantly lie about having any kind of relationship uh or or friendship with Epstein, and just to sit there smugly lying about it, because she knows nothing's gonna happen. Nothing's gonna happen. And uh, you know, that's the frustrating part of all of it. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 46:54

So while President Clinton did a much better job. And there was much more that came out of his testimony, and because of the things that he said, he put everybody, he put the public into a, well, you either have to believe me or don't. Um, you know, so he really kind of took his past reputation of, you know, because they even asked him, have you lied under oath? Have you ever pertured yourself? And he said no, which they should have stopped right away.

SPEAKER_06 47:24

Right there, right there. I would have been like, excuse me, I'm sorry, what now?

SPEAKER_04 47:27

Right? Um, what he said some things that threw the left for a loop. One, he said, you know, I've known Donald Trump for a long time and I've talked to Donald Trump, and Donald Trump has never given me any reason to believe that he has ever done anything involving Epstein ever at all. So he essentially, from his personal perspective and experience, exonerated President Trump.

SPEAKER_06 47:45

Okay, yeah, which is the the wildest part about that is he did that unprompted. Yes, they didn't even ask him, like he volunteered that.

SPEAKER_04 47:53

It was planned. Like that. He said that on purpose to set the precedent of if you're going to believe this, right, then you have to believe this, right? You you know, and he and he did it again. This is masterful, but it's all theater. So he said that at the same time, he threw JB Pritzker in the mix, whose name hadn't really been mentioned at all. Yeah. And in the great state of Illinois, where you know Pritzker's trying to decide if he's gonna run for president or governor again, like he's in a bad spot right now, and he's tap dancing and trying to you know get himself out of hot water with the state and with the voters because nobody was tracking him as part of the Epstein thing until President Clinton sat down.

SPEAKER_03 48:35

Right.

SPEAKER_04 48:35

Um, and then lastly, did you see him with the photos?

SPEAKER_06 48:39

Yes, yeah, yes.

SPEAKER_04 48:41

About like Bill being Bill and Creepy, like he is that never ever gonna change. And folks, if you didn't see it, they handed him a pile like stapled together, yeah of copies of photographs from the Epstein files, yes, which I think he was, they were photographs of him, I think, as well as other you know, young women and all of these other things. And you know, he kind of looked through and he looked way too long and he looked way with way too much detail, and there was a smile on his face, and all and like the lawyer had to reach over and take the papers away from him because it looked bad, like he was enjoying himself.

SPEAKER_06 49:19

He was enjoying it, and he was, he absolutely was. He is a sick, sick man. And you know, the funny thing about the you know, comparing their two uh testimonies side by side, they both give an air of I don't care, but they're very different, I don't care. Hers is arrogant, defiant, angry, I don't care, you can't touch me, and his is like I don't care, I'll burn it all down, doesn't make a difference to me, whatever. Yeah, right? Like very different. I both saying I don't show, you know, giving I don't care, very different versions of I don't care. And I um odd question, maybe I this is something I should already know. Does he does he or is it public that does he have Parkinson's?

SPEAKER_04 50:02

So I I thought the same thing because he's very, very shaky.

SPEAKER_06 50:05

So shaky, and then it didn't look like nerves. I don't think he was nervous about it.

SPEAKER_04 50:08

No, it's it's not nerves, but I I don't know of any public diagnosis of Parkinson's, folks. If you know something that that we're not tracking, please put it in the comments. Yeah, I mean I thought exactly the same thing. You know, he's approaching 80. I think he turns 80 later this year. Yeah, um, and I think that that it it may be just a sign of age, but it certainly did look like Parkinson's. Oh my goodness, yeah, at least the early the early stages of Parkinson's right, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 50:33

It was, I mean, you couldn't, you could if you were watching, you certainly couldn't miss it. So it's like, did we not, you know, did I miss a diagnosis, a public diagnosis of something? But you know, again, and and kind of the reason I'm asking is, you know, if he's got something, I mean, like you said, the guy's pushing 80 if he's not 80 already. Um, he's already elderly. Uh if he's got something terminal, um, uh all the more for the he could care less what comes out at this point. Does not matter one lick to him because he probably is like, I'm not long for this world anyhow. So do what you gotta do. I don't care. So either way, um, they are still, in my opinion, two of the most deplorable, wretched, awful people who have ever served. And and um uh I I can't, I just that's a that's all I got on that one. They are just gross humans who are gonna get away with it.

SPEAKER_04 51:24

Yeah, you're right. And they are. And and you know, I think also President Clinton, you know, with the whole exoneration, whatever you want to call it, whatever his statement about President Trump, whatever the purpose was, he also made it very much look like it's a boys' club. In other words, that very super exclusive. What are we down? We're down to five living presidents right now.

SPEAKER_05 51:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 51:43

So you've got Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Clinton, right? So those five. Uh so it's pretty much the most exclusive club in the world. And Clinton still runs by the old rules of listen, we don't talk about each other out of school, right? Right. And him and and Dovey are about the only ones who kind of follow those old rules. And that's why those two get along, truthfully.

SPEAKER_06 52:04

Yes, yeah.

unknown 52:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 52:05

But you're right. They're they're they're awful people. Um, and so, but he did make it look a little bit like, well, we're all in it together, you know, because look, Trump didn't say anything. He he's with me kind of deal. Um, but you know, we do they are relevant in the sense that he is a former president, she's a former secretary of state. You know who's you know who's not relevant, and yet we keep asking her flip an opinion on stuff? Megan Rapino. Why is she talking to this woman?

SPEAKER_06 52:31

Uh, why? Why I find her to be insufferable, like she truly is. The minute this girl opens her mouth. Uh, listen, am I alone in this? Here it is. I mean, you guys tell me.

SPEAKER_09 52:43

That rap phone call was that had nothing to do with you, and that said nothing about you. And the thing that I took was like immediately, I was like, oh, I know how I feel about them though.

SPEAKER_06 52:59

I feel like she's stoned.

SPEAKER_09 53:01

Everybody who watched that clip or saw that moment said, Hell no. Like, you might not be for everybody, whatever, but you're for us.

unknown 53:11

You're ours.

SPEAKER_06 53:12

All right, I'm done listening to her. I'm already done listening to her. I just can't. I can't. I can't.

SPEAKER_04 53:16

So, folks, she's she's talking about the phone, specifically the phone call between President Trump and the U.S. men's hockey team. Um, the environment of the locker room, Cospatel being there, you know, jokes that the president made. Um, and listen, Megan Rapino hates all men. Period. She hates all men. And she specifically hates all conservative men. Yes. Period. Um, and and for whatever reason, uh, you know, she is a retired soccer player that honestly, and and again, I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna get criticism. I'm a football guy. F football soccer guy. Um, if you go back and and you look at the tail end of her career where she got the most amount of fame, she was well past her prime and truthfully not a very good player.

SPEAKER_05 54:08

Right.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

Um and and people who are honest with themselves and don't get blinded by all the LGBTQ crap will say the same thing, regardless. Um, we we don't need to be talking to her anymore. No, especially when it comes to politics, because yeah, her opinion is 100% irrelevant. Is she an American citizen? Sure. Is her opinion as valid or as mine is? I I guess so, yes. But like, I don't know who keeps sticking a microphone in front of her.

SPEAKER_06 54:34

I honestly don't get it. Yeah, I I don't get it at all. It's not like she's I mean, you just saw it. She's not particularly especially articulate. She does not offer any great, profound insights on anything.

Personal Safety Without Fear

SPEAKER_04 54:49

She just obnoxious. So blatantly biased. Like there is not, she doesn't even possess the capability to be objective. Like it's not there. Whatever that ability, you know, whatever you want to call it, whether it's genetic or learned or whatever, she doesn't have it. It's gone. Uh and and you know, she's she lives in an echo chamber. Um, you know, the people that are that surround her are exactly like her, uh, and and nobody holds her accountable. Truthfully, they keep inviting her, they keep asking her, they keep shoving a microphone in front of her, and she keeps talking. There's actually a another version of that same kind of rhetoric. She's doing an interview and she's got like a beanie cap on top of her head, and she's got headphones on, and she looks like a cartoon character. So that one is another one, another example of the same thing that's out there. And I know that um Megan Kelly, who I'm I'm less and less a fan of by the day.

SPEAKER_05 55:46

Megan Kelly, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:47

Melly Megan Kelly went after her for the same thing. Um, but like seriously, people, stop listening to this woman. She is brainwashed, she is not educated, she's not informed, and she's horribly biased.

SPEAKER_06 56:00

She's just basically a mean girl with a microphone. She's just a mean girl.

SPEAKER_04 56:04

Like, honestly. Did you run into a mean girl this morning?

SPEAKER_06 56:08

Clay, I did. I did. Listen, I run into mean girls on a fairly regular basis, I think. I mean, I think I do, because I don't I take I do like these quick spot checks in the comment sections. And I try to, you know, I've I've talked about this and I apologize to you guys who have heard me say this before. Um, but for those of you that don't know, I've said many times uh over the past few years that I I look into the comment sections less and less and less over the years. And it's not because I I don't care. It's it's because well, I mean, maybe a little bit it is. Um, I there's no uh benefit. It does no good for me to be looking in the comment sections, whether they are compliments or insults. Um either way, I I need to stay very, very focused on what I consider my my mission, my goal, my purpose, my my view is only in one place. And there's only truly one opinion that I am working for, and that is hopefully obvious to everyone. Uh, that is for the Lord. So I am not going to focus my my eyes and my intention and my heart on the comments, the things that people say to and about me. Um, does that mean I don't see them? I see them, guys. You guys know that because every once in a while, maybe like once every couple of weeks, I will pick one uh that I happen to come across. I usually like we'll scroll like the first, I don't know, maybe 10, 20 comments and try and give some kind of response or reaction. And sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. I mostly ignore the negative ones. But this one popped up and um I it was so unnecessary, young lady or old lady. I don't really, I can't really tell for sure. Um, but she called me, what was it? Um uh Botox filled ho. And she spelled it just the way I I um said it. It was H E O U A-U-X.

SPEAKER_04 58:05

It's like A-U-X, thank you. I you the Louisiana version of the word.

SPEAKER_06 58:10

Yes, yes, which by the way, I listen, I'm gonna give her credit for it. I honestly am, because I I thought that was a brilliant um spelling choice of the word. I thought it was actually very, very funny, very entertaining. Um, however, you know, listen, she's calling me, so first of all, she's calling me a Botox-filled hoe. I gotta laugh about it. Um now, I when I do actually decide to take a look at a comment, I will do what anybody would do, which is automatically go to their profile. It's a surprise, surprise. She has like maybe five followers, and um she has this, and her I think her profile is set to private, so you can't like see any of her posts, which is another thing they love to do because so that you can't say anything back to them. Um and her profile picture, listen to each of their own. I I I don't women bash. I try not to. Um listen, her her blouse is like almost all the way down as low as you can go on your blouse and exposing as much as you can without getting like a pornography rating or something. I don't even know. Um so I'm like, and now and then there's my picture, which I'm like, I'm literally wearing something that's like up to my neck. I like as conservative as you can possibly get. Not an inch of skin other than my face, my Botox-filled face is showing. So I merely ask, who might the hoe be here, my love? Who might it be based on that? But whatever. So I would like to make a correction for her. Um, I don't use Botox. I use Xeamin. It's actually better quality. And um, I have no problem with that whatsoever. I'm sorry that she does. I'm sorry for her. She maybe would benefit from it. Is that a dig? It's not. I think if you would like to um, you know, lift things and keep them smooth and unwrinkled, unlined. Um, I don't know why we're criticizing people for doing that, but if, you know, to each their own. But anyhow, um, my dear, you don't have to be a mean girl. So unnecessary. So unnecessary, especially when like the retaliation is so easy. Like you can't don't don't give me things like that. Cause you know, I can't. I I I always say it, Clay, I'm a baby Christian. I still got a lot of growing to do, and there's still a lot of me left in me.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:33

So what was your turn? I I think I had the last two strays. So the last two were not. It was about time that they're roll around to you. It's okay. We laugh about it, it's entertaining.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:45

It's totally fine. Listen, you y'all can't, and it's funny, I I actually just made a video, not about that specifically, but about that concept because I I I had uh, I think it was my mother and my husband, or both of them actually said, I don't know, I don't know how you do my mother's voice. You know, I don't know how you do it because I just want to get in those comment sections and tell people, you know, that this and that and really give it to them. I'm like, you know the rules, stay out of the comment section, mom. Do not read the comments and most definitely do not respond to them because if they come from me, it's fine. If they come from people I love and I care about, then I I might lose, I will lose all the things that I've worked so hard to behave like and and be mindful of. And I will go full ratchet psychopath. So please don't it's all over again. Exactly. Like, don't make me scratch. Yes. So yeah, it's all fine. I don't mind it. It never bothers me. I don't take anything personally. Um, and the minute, and and that's a little advice for anyone who struggles with that. Take nothing personally. Nothing. Because even if they're saying personal things, it actually has nothing to do with you. That it's all something with them. And and that's you know, what is what is the saying? Uh, you know, happy people don't hurt or try to hurt other people. So this is all about them and some deep uh, you know, dissatisfaction in in themselves. So yeah, so that's that. It is funny. I I love when they do it because it gives us something to to chuckle about over here. And we had a good laugh about it. So yeah. Oh my goodness. All right, Clay, you get the honors, you know, the deal.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:18

Hey, folks, just remember President Biden told Iran don't. Kamala Harris told Iran don't, and President Trump said, Yeah, that's not working. And so we took action. So it is what it is. Uh she could be president. Uh yeah. All right, folks, we we appreciate it. Hey, we want to thank you guys because we learned last week that we have we have had 50,000 audio downloads. 50,000.
