00:01:07.140 WABC Minicast.
00:01:11.200 The
00:01:11.760 Anthony Cumia Show, talking about
00:01:13.720 Iran and
00:01:15.640 why are we there? What are we
00:01:17.840 doing? Is an end
00:01:19.800 in sight? I know there are
00:01:21.360 peace talks.
00:01:23.100 Are they peace talks or are they other types of talks that's going on through through Pakistan?
00:01:31.700 And there are some days Trump's like, very good, great talks.
00:01:37.700 We'll be home in no time.
00:01:39.420 And then other ones like we're wiping them off the face of the globe.
00:01:43.100 So, again, I don't know.
00:01:46.500 So Trump said today an Iranian flagged cargo ship named Duska.
00:01:52.020 nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier
00:01:57.560 tried to get past our naval blockade and it did not go well for them
00:02:02.960 you just read you don't even have to do the trump voice you just
00:02:06.100 hear the trump voice when you read it uh the u.s navy guided missile destroyer
00:02:11.960 uss spruance intercepted the duska in the gulf of oman and gave them a fair
00:02:20.500 warning to stop. The Iranian 1.00
00:02:22.700 crew refused to listen, so our Navy 1.00
00:02:24.520 ships stopped them right in their tracks
00:02:26.660 by blowing a hole in their engine
00:02:28.540 room.
00:02:31.540 Right now, U.S. Marines have custody
00:02:34.660 of the vessel. The Tuska
00:02:36.400 is under U.S. Treasury
00:02:38.340 sanctions because of their
00:02:40.520 prior history of illegal activity.
00:02:43.100 We have full custody of the ship
00:02:44.720 and are seeing what's on board.
00:02:48.200 No thank
00:02:48.840 you for your attention to this matter.
00:02:50.500 written in that statement but uh all right so we're we're blowing holes in their ship
00:02:57.900 ships if they go past the blockade and the blockade is because of sanctions treasury
00:03:07.140 sanctions or we don't want them moving weapons or we want them to leave the straits of her moves
00:03:15.600 open straight of her moves open does anyone know again that's my theme here with this topic tonight
00:03:24.500 not only do i not know does anyone know and as far as the timeline goes i understand
00:03:31.800 in military conflicts it's very difficult to say a specific date that you'll be uh wrapping up
00:03:39.980 especially when it's it hasn't been that long relatively speaking but goals that's the big
00:03:49.720 thing with war is is to have strategic goals in place what do we want iran to do what do we want
00:04:01.960 of them a complete uh did a complete deconstruction of their government 0.89
00:04:11.620 uh new a new a new leadership a new type of no more islam like what what do we want 0.99
00:04:20.840 the nuke thing that seemed to be very important we want to guarantee that they will not build 0.79
00:04:26.460 nuclear weapons and so how is that guaranteed i hear people whining that oh obama had that
00:04:34.280 and trump ruined it they had a guarantee from the iranian government that they weren't going
00:04:41.840 to build nuclear weapons really you believe them decade upon decade since the 70s they have done 0.89
00:04:50.540 nothing but lie and destroy and fund terrorism but uh yeah we're gonna believe them that an
00:04:59.880 organization like the united nations that cluster f would actually be able to go in there on a
00:05:08.140 regular basis and investigate do you know how big iran is do you know how desolate it is
00:05:17.340 mountains and caves and places to hide things everyone thinks you could just walk around like
00:05:24.800 a movie you walk around with a a gun and you go in here i think it's in here and there's a bunch
00:05:31.080 of scientists working on a nuke you there can be no guarantees and if that's the the game that
00:05:39.600 Trump wants to play fine then you got to destroy all the potential nuclear sites and clean up the
00:05:48.960 mess and it just it does seem to be like ah it's not really our job world police you know
00:06:00.200 I don't think so anyway when you travel well your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket
00:06:06.220 takes you to more than just your destination.
00:06:09.260 It takes you to winding streets,
00:06:11.480 spontaneous detours,

00:06:15.420 is actually good with directions.
00:06:17.560 Recalculating route.
