SPEAKER_07

Do you owe $10,000 or more to the IRS like Mark?

SPEAKER_00

I've been doing home remodeling for 30 plus years. But the economy crashed. I wound up losing my home, losing my job. And on top of that, owing the IRS a ton of money. I owed the IRS $114,000. It really truly was the worst part of my life.

SPEAKER_07

Then Mark found tax relief advocates.

SPEAKER_00

On news radio, I heard about TRA, and I thought, what's the worst that could happen? So I picked up the phone and I called him. When it was all said and done, TRA settled my $114,000 debt for $100. And I'm telling you, I was ecstatic. Could not believe it. I would recommend TRA to anyone.

SPEAKER_07

If you owe $10 or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to the IRS, don't lose hope. Do what Mark did and call TRA for a consultation.

SPEAKER_00

But TRA did, they gave me a second chance, and I'm forever grateful.

SPEAKER_07

This brings a total to 220,000 in one region alone, as flames have crept closer to the wine region city of Bordeaux. Firefighters and soldiers are battling to slow the fire's progression toward Bordeaux. In Spain, authorities oversaw evacuations because of wildfires in the Valencia region. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated there and west of Madrid, the Spanish capital. Gusting winds fed the flames in France as well. Russian ballistic missiles struck Kiev over the weekend, igniting fires, wounding at least three civilians. Local officials report attacks in other parts of Ukraine killed at least two people. These strikes follow Ukraine's successful drone attacks, which installed Russian advances and increased the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin. In eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian drone strike reportedly killed four civilians. Townhall.com. Want to join the Millionaires Club?

I mean, I I mean, I think we we gave you a few good nuggets.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, I was about to say, I mean, I just being able to be, I think, on air consistently was already a huge help.

SPEAKER_11

That in and of itself, I think the experience of being able to All it did was say, hmm, guess I'm not gonna do radio. Wow, that sucks.

SPEAKER_08

You're welcome. No, most people, most people, when they put on headphones and they do radio, they get bitten by the bug. And it's a bug you'll never shake.

I've actually gone to the doctor a little bit. They said there's nothing they can do about it.

SPEAKER_08

So it's that bug.

SPEAKER_10

It's already been two months, though. That's nuts to me.

unknown

Gosh.

SPEAKER_08

See how that time flies when you get old. Really unbelievable. Time is really going quick. You know, it's like that old Eddie Murphy um clip. Did you ever hear that clip? Which one? About how short short life is?

SPEAKER_11

I'm not sure I have. Oh, have you never seen that? Is that the his from Delirious and the red leather outfit? No. Probably not.

SPEAKER_08

Let me look it up while you the guy's ready.

SPEAKER_11

Oh yeah, he doesn't swear much at all.

SPEAKER_08

No, no. It's um ready. Uh life is short. I don't know. Um there's a yeah. Oh, from the movie Holy Man. You never seen that?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_10

I don't think I've seen that either.

SPEAKER_08

Uh let me see if I can here, listen. Okay, right. Listen to this. This is this is very important for you.

SPEAKER_09

75 years. That's how much time you get if you're lucky. 75 years. 75 winters, 75 springtimes, 75 summers, and 75 autumns. When you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? Don't waste it. Get your head out of the red. Oh, basically, forget about the superficial thing to pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now. Right now, this very second. And I'm not saying drop everything and let the world come to a rapid halt. I'm saying that you can become a steaker. You can be loving more, you can be taking some chances, you can be living more, you can be spending more time with your family, you can be getting in touch with the part of you that lives instead of fears, the part of you that loves instead of hates.

SPEAKER_08

Don't you love that?

SPEAKER_10

That's great. What movie is that from again?

SPEAKER_08

Holy Man.

SPEAKER_10

Holy Man. That's that's wonderful. No, I've been, I mean, I I'm only like what, 25? I know I'm still like young compared to in the grand scheme of things, but I mean, I've already been starting to feel that too, especially with the way this year's been flying by. I mean, this internship is done.

SPEAKER_08

Exactly.

SPEAKER_10

And I I was like, wow, I'm really in for it now. And then I think I'm realizing, oh Nick, did you ever hear that?

SPEAKER_11

No, I never saw that movie.

SPEAKER_08

Well, I mean, did you ever see the clip though? I did not. No, huh? Wow. Um, I have to um share that on our Facebook page. And it's true. Uh do you remember Paulina Poroscova? The famous model. So she was married to who was it? Uh the car the cars guy who died recently.

SPEAKER_11

Rick O'Kassai.

SPEAKER_08

Yes. So she was married to him. She was the most when I was a kid growing up, she was like the hottest supermodel that was in all of because we used to all wat w read uh Cosmo and Mademoiselle.

SPEAKER_11

I only know her name because of the music connection with Rick, but I couldn't tell you what she looks like.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, she's stunning. Um, and so now she's uh in her sixties and she's still gorgeous, of course, and she takes great care of herself. And you know, he died, Rick O'Kasic, and I don't think they had a really good relationship in so many ways. Uh but she ended up meeting somebody online or something, uh, which is like so unbelievable to me that she would even, you know, with all the people she would know, you know, you think that she would be able to meet somebody, right? So she ended up meeting a guy, and I think he's famous. Um, in like I think he's a writer or something like that. Anyway, they have this wonderful relationship, and they launched a Facebook, uh, an Instagram thing like saying our 20, our last 20 summers. Um, and it's like we only have 20 summers together. And it sort of reminded me of that clip. And so she was like, What how are we going to spend the last 20 summers of our lives? Because she's like, you know, once you're 85, or in her mind, she's feeling we won't be able to do as many things as we used to do. And listen, my mom's about to be 85, and life has been hard for her. Um, and so you know, uh, and it's like kind of a stunner when you think about that. Um you know, and then you think about these uh this guy who crashed into a tree.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, in Georgetown County.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, and um I don't who knows why that even happened. Do we have any idea?

SPEAKER_11

We don't. As a matter of fact, this is the entire uh bit of information that was released. Driver was killed after hitting a tree tree in Georgetown County, crashed while traveling west in his Cadillac on Penny Royal Road near Mineral Place. It was 8 30 in the evening Saturday, so still pitch black, according to the South Carol uh the uh South Carolina Department of Public Safety. Georgetown County Coroner's office is investigating driver was the only person in the car. That's it. That's all we know.

SPEAKER_08

And then the other uh story that is uh making Myrtle Beach news is that Officer Joe Cleary retired and passed away a few days later after serving in the department for twenty years.

SPEAKER_11

More than twenty years.

SPEAKER_08

We don't know why he died, um, but they said it was sudden and unexpected. And so when you there's there are a lot of stories like that where people retire and then something happens. Right. Um, and I d I don't know what happened actually, but uh I did see that making the rounds, and he was only fifty-five. He's our age. Yeah. Horrible younger.

SPEAKER_11

Well, yeah, younger by a couple years. So horrible. Tragic.

SPEAKER_08

Uh yeah, I don't know uh what happened. But in any case, you just don't know what's gonna happen, Quintern. So you gotta squeeze every last drop out of that lemon. Because life serves you lemons, right? Sometimes you just make lemonade.

SPEAKER_10

There you go. That's it. I got a lime.

SPEAKER_08

You got a lime. Oh, cool. That's good. Lime juice is lime juice makes a lot of things fun. Um, so anyway, that's my message today. It was so great seeing everybody on Friday. We didn't talk about it here because we talked about it on air and then I mean on uh Facebook, on our YouTube channel, which you can also find on our Facebook page.

SPEAKER_11

It's loading up in Twitter.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, great. So uh we are excited that we were able to fill Tabby's entire SUV. What a cool story she has, huh? She has fostered 66 children over the years, ended up adopting four of them. Um believable thing to do is to have foster children. Um and a lot of people are always afraid to take that step because they just don't know how it's going to impact their lives. But could you imagine taking care of 66 children throughout your lives? Oh my gosh. Yeah, and all different they ended up, like I said, adopting four of them, and she created this fostering hope uh organization because she realized when she got her first couple of foster children come into her life, uh that the they didn't have much and whatever they did have was not worthy of keeping. So uh she created this organization to help kids get whatever they need. And that's why um I think she's awesome. She served said she serves four counties, I think it was. Uh and so with that, hundreds of kids. I mean, she had 41 new children sign up that day for services and they get referred there from DSS and they come in and they take whatever they need, and a lot of people donate those things, or they donate their housewares to the thrift shop and then uh the money they make from that thrift store. So if you have any housewares and you want to donate to a uh a a worthy organization, I think she said they're open Monday through Thursday, like 9 a.m. to like 12 or something uh for I for all that. You can bring it in. So if you want to find out more, go to fosteringhope.com. But thank you to HTC. Alexis won the iPad, which is awesome.

SPEAKER_11

So excited.

SPEAKER_08

We have lots of other prizes like craftsman tickets, pelicans tickets, uh gift cards to Rios. So um, we were uh glad to be uh dishing out amazing prizes during this event. And of course, thank you to our host, Conway Ford, because it is a Conway Ford talk lama ledge event. So we'll be back there again for the Toys for Tots. We need to make it more of a like a Christmas, it's a Christmas theme. Um, and it's gonna be the Friday in November, Nick, which I think is like the 14th or something around your birthday.

SPEAKER_11

Uh one day after. The thirteenth.

SPEAKER_08

It's Friday the 13th.

SPEAKER_14

Ooh. Ooh, say it. It's spooky oogie.

SPEAKER_08

All right. So let's take a break. Uh, when we come back, we'll give you an update on what's going on in Iran. Ukraine's involved now. I mean, this is just turning into a nightmare. This is like the second it started happening five months ago, I needed it to end.

SPEAKER_11

Well, it's interesting. I know you think it's not tied, but it is tied into it. It's Catherine Harrods talking to a CIA whistleblower and how the intelligence community, with their cohorts from other countries, the globalists, if you will, have decided and decided a long time ago, this is how we think the globe should be. Trump came in and messed it all up. And they're fighting back. And that's why we're seeing what we're seeing a lot. And you gotta hear the clip. That's part of a much longer segment, but it's not a conspiracy theory. It's not a conspiracy theory because it's he's a CIA whistleblower. There were people that were in the agency working with him who said, no, that's not the way it's gonna be. We can't let Trump do this. That's not that that's not our vision for what the globe should be. That's not how any of this works. Right, but these are people who are unelected, yeah, no names as far as we're concerned, deciding the fate of the globe. But you know, listen, I we know it could be.

SPEAKER_08

I just need a break. I know. I just need a break. I I mean, I'm just being selfish here. After going through what we went through with COVID. Oh, Fauci's back in the hot seat. Did you hear that? Yes. And uh Dr. Senator Rand Paul is just like, I know, you know, he's gonna testify. I'm like, it's nothing's gonna happen. Nothing's gonna happen. No.

SPEAKER_11

I mean, if they got some sort of smoking gun that they haven't told us about, well, maybe. But other than that, nah.

SPEAKER_08

They tell us they have smoking guns all the time. But I mean a real one. Maybe that gun should start vaping. Ooh, that's a good idea. Because smoking guns aren't working.

SPEAKER_11

But a vaping gun. That works. Uh why why did I think of that? What you got there? Smoking gun? Nope. This one vapes. Look out, Lizzie. Yes. Guess who's having a birthday today?

SPEAKER_08

I don't know.

SPEAKER_11

Not Julie Harrington, but her son, Brady.

SPEAKER_08

Oh, look at that. Happy birthday, Brady. Are we singing? You want to sing? Sure. We've known Brady for so long. I know we have. Since he was a wee little one. Second grade. Now he doesn't want to talk to us anymore. He's like, I know. Well, he's a teenager.

SPEAKER_11

That's an adult talking to me. I can't be seen having an adult talk to me. Come on.

SPEAKER_08

He's like, whatever. Right. He used to like us. I know. Now he's like, meh.

unknown

I know.

SPEAKER_08

Meh. So do we do we sing happy birthday? Do we just go? One, two, three.

SPEAKER_14

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear brady. Happy birthday to you and many more.

SPEAKER_08

There we go. That's good. That's awesome. Love it. Um, so happy birthday. I I was just looking at some news here, and we talked about uh maybe bringing it up. Um hey, you know, there's a lot of funny things that happen that nobody ever talks about. One of them is you know when you're you're on your computer and there's like a screen that pops up, and you're like, where'd that come from? Because you must have moved your your mouse somewhere and like this information screen comes up. Well, did you ever realize you never know how that actually comes up?

SPEAKER_11

No.

SPEAKER_08

No? Nick? Did you ever do that?

SPEAKER_11

No. It's never happened to me.

SPEAKER_08

So what I'm you know when when you you don't want it to come up, but it kind of like pops up, it's like a screen that has information. You don't know what I'm talking about? So, like, I don't know what I touch, but something came onto the computer screen here that I would like to read again. This is us finding out in real time that you're gonna figure it out. No, no, no. I'm talking about, you know, those little sidebars that pop up with all the news and weather?

SPEAKER_11

Oh, just a pop-up? Oh, that's that's just because you went down into the toolbar and that's one of your things.

SPEAKER_08

I'm on the toolbar and it's one of my things, and none of it is popping up. So, and I just I've seen that. There it is.

SPEAKER_11

I've seen that. There it is.

SPEAKER_08

Putin preparing to mobilize 500,000 Russians. Where's he getting them from? I don't know. Russian president uh Vladimir Putin is preparing to call up hundreds of thousands of new soldiers to fight in Ukraine as the Kreml Kremlin tries to balance his high casualty count with public. Opinion turning away from war. Is that insane?

SPEAKER_11

Well, a good thing in Russia is that public opinion doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_08

When Putin called up 300,000 reservists in fall 2022, protests broke out across Russia and tens of thousands of people fled the country to avoid serving in the military because they were calling it what? A meat grinder. And I was like, what a horrible concept that I can't even put in my head. But that's what was happening. He was just kept sending people to war with Ukraine. And I don't know. I guess they're not strong enough to beat Ukraine.

SPEAKER_10

Well, haven't they said that this is one of the craziest wars in modern history in terms of the ratio of casualties?

SPEAKER_08

Yes.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

So what they're doing is they're going into these indigenous lands and finding their version of the Eskimo.

SPEAKER_10

And drafting.

SPEAKER_08

And what they're doing is they're drafting. Right. They're giving supposedly, and I don't think this is even true, but a Russian woman told me this, that they offer them a lifetime worth of money to the entire family, something that they would never earn otherwise. And I don't believe that for one second, but that's what they're telling the people. And she loves Putin. She's a Russian girl. Okay? She's Russian. She's communist. She believes in communism.

SPEAKER_11

So money shouldn't matter. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah. So they pay off the family, uh, she told me, uh, in these indigenous lands, and they recruit and they they say, hey, you know, just work uh a couple of months as a soldier, and your family will be celebrating the riches of your actions. And so she says that's how they're getting them to go. She says they're taking prisoners out of jails and say, hey, you fight in this war this amount of time, you don't have to go back to jail. That's what she said. That's what she told me. Because that's communism. This is how communism works. Yeah. This is how it always ends up. It ends up they use you to buy in. They buy you, you buy in with the Santa Claus theory. Oh, you'll never have to work, and you'll just have just the enough um, you know, housing you need. First they rally you up. Money.

SPEAKER_11

They say it's not fair that the other people have those things. Yes, right. They rally you up, and then you sit there and you go, because you're uninformed and uneducated. Yeah. How come I don't have all that stuff? Oh, sorry, it takes hard work. But okay, continue on. And then they promise you the free stuff, right? Right, right, right. And it never happens.

SPEAKER_08

But hey, this time it'll work. And that's what they've done. And it turns into then they control you because they control you how you eat, how you go to the bathroom, where you work, what your family does, whether or not everything. They control everything. So now it says here just one in four people supported the war in Ukraine continuing, according to a poll. It will not be, quote, that difficult for Putin to mobilize up to a half a million troops, according to Ukrainians. President that number Zelensky. Uh it says here, Ukrainian officials have repeatedly predicted Russia could resort to a new wave of mobilization in the coming months, saying Moscow has is falling short of its targets for new recruits while continuing to sustain an average of more than 1,000 casualties each day. I don't think we understand. Uh, it says here Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service says Russia had missed its army recruitment target by roughly 30,000 people in the first three months of 2026, forcing authorities to increase sign-on bonuses for those joining up. The predicted mobilization would come shortly after Russia holds elections for hundreds of politicians to sit in the country's Duma, uh, the lower parliamentary house, Zelensky said. And you know what? They say that this is going to be the first election since the war started in when? 2022. We're like four or five years into this whole thing. And Zelensky's uh, I think there are Ukrainian officials on their way or here to share with the White House intelligence that they have about Russia being in cahoots with Iran. But we knew that already. So what's the new information? We know that communist regimes, murderous regimes, tyrannical regimes stick together like the flock of a feather, feather of a flock, flock of a feather, right? They stick together. Thank you. And so with that, you have Russia and Iran and new intelligence on that.

SPEAKER_11

He is meeting with Zelensky on Tuesday, President Trump.

SPEAKER_08

So what is the new what is the new information that we don't already know? What is this big show of Zelensky? Can't you send a carrier pigeon? I mean, like, where are we at where Zelensky has to come here? Um Netanyahu has to come here. Why do they all have to come here?

SPEAKER_11

Why don't we get Pocahontas to do smoke signals?

SPEAKER_08

I mean, really. You can't hack those. Can someone explain this to me? Do you have any explanation?

SPEAKER_11

No, I do not.

SPEAKER_08

What is happening right now?

SPEAKER_11

A whole lot of stuff from the people in the big club, and we ain't in it.

SPEAKER_08

We ain't in the club. So I don't know how this is going to end. And you have Mike Waltz. I have I I have to find those clips of Mike Waltz on Kirsten Wilker. Do you have those clips?

SPEAKER_11

I have some clips with him. Well, he's on the three different shows.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, yes. And he was on because the pause, there's a pause in the fighting, and people are saying, oh, it's because we're out of weapons. And then he said that that leaker needs to be arrested. We're not out of weapons. That's so dangerous to say. Why are they saying that? And then they're saying, you know, uh the pause is to keep the negotiations going. At every level of Iranian government, there's negotiations and talks going on. Do you believe any of that? I don't know what to believe anymore.

SPEAKER_11

No, I don't either.

SPEAKER_08

I am not happy with what's happening. All right.

SPEAKER_11

It's kind of a laggy Monday with the computer today. Laggy Monday.

SPEAKER_10

It's laggy. The Monday lags.

SPEAKER_11

It's laggy. Uh, I did find uh the uh the different things that you wanted me to play if you wanted to get to the uh Mike Waltz. Yes, and this is where they ask about the larger military attacks, stockpile depleted, all that. That's the one you wanted. Yes. Let's fire it off, Kristen Malker. World's economy is hostage.

SPEAKER_12

You raise assets. I want to ask you about the assets. NBC News is reporting the Pentagon is actually rationing some defense weaponry amid diminishing supplies. Is America backing away from a larger military attack because its military stockpile has been depleted?

SPEAKER_01

Well, look, we have to take a step back here in that a lot of stockpiles were depleted, not only from what we gave uh Ukraine over the last however many years, four or five years, and the administration inherited the secretary, uh Secretary Heggseth inherited a depleted situation from not only Ukraine, but also the ongoing fight uh with the Houthis under the Biden administration and a depleted military under the Biden administration. So they have decided one, uh they're going to new types of munitions, cheaper munitions, new technologies, but also with these new defense budgets, rebuilding our great military. However, I want to be clear. I want to be crystal clear. The U.S. military, and I've verified this every which way, uh, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be. And I have to just tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail.

SPEAKER_11

All right. Now we go to I think a little later, and he kind of expands on that with investigations, leaker, listen.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I th we have a number of we have a number of leaking. We have a number of leak investigations uh going on. I'll I'll you know defer that to the Department of Justice. But but here's the point. Uh the point is the U.S. military has conducted a phenomenally successful campaign. We have never, uh as you know, I'm a uh veteran by background, we have never maintained this kind of air superiority, sea superiority, uh with with unfettered access over uh over Iran right now.

SPEAKER_11

So there you go. That's where that clip ends. Uh any other clips from Mike Waltz you wanted to get to?

SPEAKER_08

No, those were the two that I really wanted to point out because these leakers, it's done on purpose.

SPEAKER_11

Of course it is, to undermine anything that this administration, and I'm I'm saying it, it's direct attacks on this administration. Effectively, essentially it's an attack on the United States of America, but they don't care about that. We know that.

SPEAKER_08

So what is the intention of it? So that's the leak. So when someone leaks something is because they wanted an intended consequence.

SPEAKER_11

To harm this administration going into the midterms. I think essentially that's it.

SPEAKER_08

That's where it always boils down to. Yes.

SPEAKER_11

They don't care seriously about anything other than money, control, and power. I mean, most politicians would would fit in that category, let's be honest. But the Democrats, you know, this is why we say that the Republicans are weak so many times, because they don't play as dirty. They don't get in the mud like the Democrats do. They will. They're not afraid to, and they don't care. And I'm not suggesting that that's what the Republicans need to do, but you need to fight dirty a little bit. You need to get, you need to get in there, in the ring, and take a couple of swings instead of just going, well, that's nonsense. Anyway, continuing on, and then they go about their business. That's why they look spineless. Did you see all the truth social posts this weekend about Trump was hammering on them. Republicans saying he's dressed as a doctor, pointing to go, look, I found this. It's your spine, you might want to insert it. I mean, slamming thune, everything.

SPEAKER_08

On MS Now, they were uh mocking how Trump was uh tweeting out meme after meme after meme of quote disinformation because it was memes of like him in a cape and saying this and saying that normal people know it's a meme.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, I'm just that is is humorous, but it's humorous because it's kind of based in a you know a truth in there. You know, the Republicans do appear to be spineless, most of them. Not Mike Lee, not Banks, not Ashley Moody, apparently, who are calling, trying to not shift too many gears here, but going back to the Save America Act, uh, as Thune has basically said, Well, we're we're going to recess now, and then not coming back till September. And it only takes, from what I understand, it may or may not be true, it only takes one senator to say, No, I don't want to go to break. We need to finish this. Well, then now there's three. So we'll see if that's actually true, and we'll see if they actually do go to break. But anyway, the point is that's kind of what started, precipitated this whole, you know, tweet storm, if you will, even though it's truth social. But a lot of it was shared, of course, on on X Twitter. And really, you're gonna say, well, that's fake news because Trump's not really a doctor. You look like an idiot for pointing that out.

SPEAKER_08

Well, that's what they're saying, is that he's giving a lot of misinformation.

SPEAKER_11

Okay. Yeah. So if I have you dressed, if you have me dressed up as a llama promoting an event, that's by their standards considered fake news. Yeah. Because I'm not a llama. Did you see how stupid this is?

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_11

I like I'm just that's that's what they have to go on.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, the whole thing is very bizarro. Uh, but I don't know how it's going to end up, honestly. Um, so we'll have to see what happens now. I I'm very I'm very concerned about this moment in time. How we took a break this weekend. Why? Why did we take a break this weekend? What is Netanyahu gonna do? What does Zelensky have to do? This is all converging now. You know, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Iran, United States is involved, we're helping Israel. We reluctantly, many people don't want to keep helping Ukraine. Now we're four and a half years in on that, we're five months in on this. How is this going to end up? Do you have any clue?

SPEAKER_11

Uh no, I don't. And I will tell you this.

SPEAKER_08

Are you calling up 500,000? What does that mean?

SPEAKER_11

So General Flynn, take what you want for it. Sometimes he's I I actually the thing that was said to me about Flynn uh is because he's been in the intelligence community for so long, he sees ghosts sometimes where they don't exist. You know, he's so hyper paranoid. That's that was described to me as a matter of fact by our very own Lieutenant Colonel Chris Opart. He thinks that Flynn is a very brilliant man, has a lot of great ideas as far as a military strategist and blah, blah, blah. But he sometimes sees things that don't exist because he's so paranoid, as they all are when they're in the intelligence community. But he's right on this analysis, and he he posted this last night. Uh, dear Mr. Potis, Iran will never comply. Get over it and make a decision one way or the other. I feel he's right. Flynn is right.

SPEAKER_08

What kind of decision?

SPEAKER_11

Either get out and leave it as it is or finish the dang job.

SPEAKER_08

Well well, they were they did like 13, 14 days of straight bombing.

SPEAKER_11

Apparently that's not enough. What what do you need to do? Continue the bombing. Continue until there's really nothing left.

SPEAKER_08

They said there was nothing left.

SPEAKER_11

Well, then what's the problem? Should be over.

SPEAKER_08

Why is it another 13 days and what else is left?

SPEAKER_11

Then what's the problem? It should be over. I don't know. Okay.

SPEAKER_08

They told us they have nothing left. We've taken out their navy, we've done this, we've done that. We we we obliterated the pickaxe mountain, but now they're moving centrifuges into it. So which is it? What is it?

SPEAKER_11

Here, from the budget blinds text line, we'll move from General Flynn to the budget blinds text line here. Interesting take, and you know what? Maybe. Uh I'm fearing the swamp is alive and well. Like COVID was designed to take out the Trump administration in the first term. We all agree on that. This Iran conflict has been designed to take him out this time. You know, could very well be. He keeps getting fed bad info from people we know we can't trust. Listen, they just uh arrested or are investigating a second person on J.D. Vance's Secret Service team. You've got these CIA whistleblowers. I mean, the the call is truly coming from inside the house.

SPEAKER_08

I heard, I don't know if it's true, about the meeting they had Friday, which is when they decided on this pause that JD Vance and somebody else, who was it? I cannot recall. They were saying that they were like, you gotta take a pause. You gotta take a pause.

SPEAKER_11

Okay. So who's telling them that and why? Is it a humanitarian thing? Do we have the Iranian people who are truly seriously who are truly innocent a lot of this? The Iranian people.

SPEAKER_08

Because I don't really think they're being targeted in these attacks.

SPEAKER_11

I wouldn't think so either, but I'm just what is it that who has President Trump's ear that that is m having him make these decisions?

SPEAKER_08

How do you have 13 nights of straight bombing? You keep telling me that we're winning and we're ahead. And like and we just had another four troops killed, right? So what are we up to now? 18, something like that? Um and you're you're doing everything from from the air. So what happens next? Exactly. What they say you can't win a war by air alone. So what happens next?

SPEAKER_11

I honestly don't have an answer.

SPEAKER_08

Exactly. I don't. I don't see an answer other than sending troops into Iran.

SPEAKER_11

We were promised multiple times no boots on the ground. Not from our military.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, how are you gonna feel about that?

SPEAKER_11

Well, we'll just do a little. I will feel a little of this. I will know I would feel betrayed. I already know. You know as well as I do. There are some people on the ground. It's always that way. But I mean, a mass implement of our troops on the ground. No, I would feel betrayed. I would be very angry.

SPEAKER_08

How is this all adding up for the midterm?

SPEAKER_11

From this point of view, from this perch, not looking good.

SPEAKER_08

Not looking good. No. Why couldn't we just coast?

SPEAKER_11

That's why I'm glad the Democrats have gone off the cliff and are putting forward all these completely insane people. Which, by the way, the average public, I don't care what the news tells you. It's that they Fox News had a poll, and 77% of people think the socialism candidates and the communist candidates are nuts. They don't want anything to do with it. I really truly feel most Americans want nothing to do with it. It's the loud vocal youth who's got, you know, 15 degrees in gender studies and hamsters and all that that have, I need my fair share, you know. And marching in the streets and loud. Yeah, it's it's garbage. The average American wants nothing to do with that. And by the way, some people who have immigrated here and have to do with that have done it the right way and become United States citizens and pledge their allegiance to this country because they love what it offers, they don't want nothing to do with it because they came from it.

SPEAKER_08

Exactly. They're trying to escape that persecution and communism. I get it. And the blue hair on TikTok going, I hate this country. Leave. Bye. Yeah. See ya. Yeah. All right. Did you did you know that we built or someone built a bridge between Michigan and Canada? So Quentin can visit his girlfriend. Oh, yeah. His Canadian. Oh, there it is. It's called the Gordy Howe International Bridge, jointly owned by Canada and Michigan. It marks the culmination of more than 20 years of planning. Now, Trump is going up to Michigan. I know. Trump is going up to Michigan, but he's not scheduled to be at the bridge opening. Just letting you know.

SPEAKER_11

He's going there. He's on a rally tour. If you don't want any undesirables on the bridge, just call it the Trump Bridge. Nobody will be on it except for people like me and you.

SPEAKER_08

All right.
