00:02:07.900
minnesota lowers his head and begins to run for first a month ago that wouldn't have happened with his
00:02:15.340
overwhelming knee pain paul's days of playing softball seemed to be winding down to a close
00:02:19.620
and not even the love of the game could stop it but then a funny thing happened paul heard about
00:02:25.480
relief factor decided what do i have to lose give it a try within just a few weeks the knee pain that
00:02:31.440
had plagued him for so long was nearly gone and he could run the bases again he even beat out that
00:02:37.160
throat first after hitting the hard grounder paul got his game back he got his life back when taken
00:02:46.200
properly it'll happen to you too at least 70 percent of the people who take it feel that way

00:03:05.980
that's relieffactor.com i would not make a sportscaster
00:03:12.420
all right i have been watching um iran for at least 15 years
00:03:23.820
uh full disclosure i was for the iraqi um war uh and i was for it because i believed it was an attempt
00:03:32.760
to pop the head of the snake which is iran iran is the real problem uh in the middle east it causes
00:03:40.520
much of our problems it is a backward society that has destroyed the persian culture and has destroyed
00:03:49.040
uh the people of iran and even those who were not or were part of the revolution didn't want what they
00:03:58.960
have millions are marching in the streets risking their lives you don't see it because our press
00:04:07.040
doesn't go to iran our press doesn't care to show it our press decides to go to iran when there are
00:04:14.840
millions of americans or millions of iranians shouting death to america
00:04:30.660
he was a a brutal mastermind of terror all over the middle east
00:04:38.640
responsible for at least 600 deaths of u.s soldiers but beyond that he was a torturer
00:04:47.600
he was a madman he was as sick in as any of the nazis were
00:04:54.960
and so we killed him now we call it an assassination i guess the media does because it was precision
00:05:10.240
so we didn't blow up a lot of people oh my gosh now we're assassinating we were being precise
00:05:19.560
isn't that what the world begged us to do wasn't that the last problem we just lob a missile over
00:05:26.240
they're not even knowing who we're going to hit and we could hit innocent children and babies and puppy
00:05:31.380
dogs and so we spent a ton of money to make sure that it hits the target we were looking for
00:06:00.100
and our nation building has got us in to almost all of the trouble that we have
00:06:11.760
when we were a nation that was paying attention to just our problems
00:06:20.020
france gave us a giant present called the statue of liberty
00:06:25.060
do you see any nation in the world giving us a present like that today
00:06:50.220
with the washington crossing the delaware painting
00:07:42.020
because now the world could be vaporized overnight
00:08:31.280
and we have been on this foreign adventure forever
00:08:57.760
said by the way we got to get rid of all the twelvers
00:09:11.360
are the ones that are leading the supreme council
00:09:30.620
the iranian people are no different than the people here in america
00:54:52.720
I can at least have a high degree of confidence
00:55:03.860
hide the green movement they could not hide some
00:55:22.580
responsible for making that happen I mean the IRGC
00:55:25.620
the Kurds for Qasem Soleimani these people yes he
00:55:34.840
voices are you know they're completely and utterly

00:57:34.400
Laura Logan uh is is with us and I I don't want to dwell on
00:57:53.880
this at all but I couldn't help but see the ABC reporter um in
00:57:59.200
the crowd in Iran uh you know wearing her headscarf and
00:58:03.200
everything else and thinking she's in real danger uh because
00:58:09.000
those crowds can change as you found in in Egypt how much
00:58:13.680
danger was she in yesterday and what kind of deal had to be
00:58:18.200
made uh for her to have that kind of coverage and is it
00:58:23.320
responsible um well you you know I think it's I think
00:58:28.200
it's unfair to ask if it's responsible just in the sense
00:58:31.840
that you know our job as reporters is to try um to tell you
00:58:36.840
know every side of the story and if I was still um in
00:58:40.180
evening news reporter you know CBS news foreign news reporter
00:58:43.100
I would have been um I would have loved to have been on the
00:58:46.400
ground in Iran and be in Martha Raddatz's shoes and and be
00:58:49.260
reporting from the ground and and I do have enormous respect for
00:58:52.800
Martha and I know her personally and you know I like her a lot
00:58:55.860
but having said that I mean um I would say to you that
00:59:00.040
you're right in any crowd in any emotional situation like that
00:59:03.820
there's always a risk right no question about it
00:59:06.580
but let's not forget that Iran is not the average uh it's not the average
00:59:11.660
country it's not like the U.S. I mean um everything is is very carefully
00:59:16.980
stage managed now you always have the risk that you know you could be caught up
00:59:20.700
in a stampede right things can boil over like that but um and there's always a
00:59:26.180
risk that if they that they allow you to be targeted
00:59:29.240
but things do not happen on the ground in countries like that
00:59:32.900
most of the time without being orchestrated so when the Iranian
00:59:36.960
government says okay yes you're approved and you can come in
00:59:39.680
you know you've got a minder with you all the time
00:59:42.100
this person is monitoring every single thing you get you say they're
00:59:45.720
we call them minders but let's be honest they're muqhabarat intelligence agents
00:59:49.540
right they're spies and they're reporting on everything you say
00:59:52.660
and everything you do and every person you speak to every
00:59:55.440
Iranian you interview knows that that person is standing
00:59:58.340
right there right so those those and and you know sure it was like that
01:00:02.360
in Iraq under Saddam Hussein I mean it was like that
01:00:04.660
in Syria under Assad you know I've done that many times so I'm not
01:00:08.460
criticizing Martha for that what I would say is that
01:00:11.540
there's there's very little context they're not giving any context in the
01:00:16.800
reporting and that's the problem that I have with this I applaud her
01:00:20.340
for being on the ground and I applaud her for for being there and I would love to be
01:00:24.240
in her shoes but at the same time where is the you know where is the
01:00:29.180
that little bit of distance you know what we have to do is report is is we have to be
01:00:33.220
right in that moment and be emotional and live it and bring it to life for the viewer
01:00:38.460
right and bring you right there but then we also have another job our other
01:00:42.120
responsibility is to take a little step away from it and say okay what's the
01:00:46.220
broader context and I used to argue with U.S. soldiers all the time right because I
01:00:50.200
contrary to what people say I didn't live with U.S. soldiers in Iraq I lived with
01:00:53.900
Iraqi people and when I would go to the bases with them you know and and they
01:00:58.160
would say well you report is never tell I'll so you never do this you never do
01:01:01.040
that and you're so biased and I would say look I mean it's great that you've
01:01:04.900
employed this you know 50 people and you've built this well and there's water
01:01:08.500
in the village but like you know what has this done to move the needle for
01:01:12.580
unemployment in the country as a whole how many Iraqis today how many more have
01:01:16.780
accessed the king drinking water didn't before oh yes they all they did before in
01:01:20.420
fact you know the infrastructure has been destroyed and now fewer people have
01:01:23.620
it today you know I used to explain to them that there's a context in which
01:01:27.980
you're operating and I have dual responsibilities to you to the Iraqis to the
01:01:33.700
taxpayers back home to the government that sent you here to the military that's
01:01:38.340
trying to manage these operations all of these responsibilities compete and
01:01:42.560
they're all equal and I have to be you know try to be fair to it you know to
01:01:47.280
everybody so I don't just get to tell your story and not bother about the
01:01:51.880
context and that's what I feel is is happening in some of the reporting that
01:01:56.420
I've seen from the ground there it's all about one perspective and there's no
01:02:00.620
real distance to it there's no like you know nobody's putting it in context and
01:02:04.660
saying hey wait a minute you know and wait a minute like but I I were
01:02:08.940
chanting death to America before Qasem Soleimani right and I understand I
01:02:13.700
understand Martha not having to add context while she's on the ground but when
01:02:18.940
I say is was it responsible I mean some of that in there as much as she can get
01:02:24.800
away with yes but back home ABC should be saying look she's you know we we may you
01:02:32.400
know we we are we made a deal she has minders she has people with her so she's
01:02:37.660
bringing a certain context to the you know to the picture here but they're just
01:02:43.540
using it as straight reporting same thing with NBC last night running state
01:02:48.600
television where they were reporting 30 soldiers and yeah it's just stunning it's
01:02:54.200
I mean that to me is just like well how about this Glenn okay how about how do you
01:02:58.840
know that the pictures they put on state TV show what they say they show right how
01:03:04.180
do you know that like you know I was having conversations with various people a
01:03:08.420
couple of intelligence people they were looking and they were triangulating the
01:03:12.840
trajectory of the you know of the missiles in the air with the moon and looking at where
01:03:18.980
the moon was in the past you know from Iran to Iraq because yes there were missiles that
01:03:24.720
hit that base right but where were they fired from were they fired from Iran were
01:03:29.260
they fired from you know an Iranian proxy inside Iraq I mean were they fired that night
01:03:33.840
were those pictures of the missiles being fired I mean maybe those pictures were of
01:03:37.820
something else you know there's there's a lot of questions about that because Iranian
01:03:42.780
the Iranian regime frequently puts out whatever it wants to I mean they're masters of propaganda
01:03:49.700
so and what is very obvious here is you know when they put that out and they did that quickly and they had
01:03:55.160
people cheering there you know at the launch site that was for the people right that was to satisfy
01:04:00.260
because what has happened here this is the part that for me the most significant thing that I think
01:04:05.460
is missing here from the news coverage where reporters have really failed in their duty is that
01:04:11.920
the strength of the reaction to Qasem Soleimani's death is absolute verification of the significance
01:04:19.760
of the strike because they you know the media here seems to want us to have it both ways where
01:04:25.420
they want to say this achieved nothing this will not impact Iran's capabilities in any way
01:04:30.540
um you know it's not significant at all and then on the other hand they want to say this is so
01:04:35.640
significant that you have you've now put us into World War III thank you Laura Logan back in just a
01:04:41.500
minute with more all right our sponsor this half hour um I told you the other day that reportedly 267
01:04:48.120
million Facebook users had their names their Facebook IDs even their phone number exposed in

01:06:03.520
a man who i wouldn't uh be surprised if he wasn't in a council last night trying to figure out what
01:06:32.440
was going on and uh what the response should be uh congressman chris stewart a member of the
01:06:38.800
intelligence uh committee in congress welcome uh chris how are you i'm good glenn boy our year started
01:06:45.760
out with a bang didn't it no pun intended yeah i know it's it's crazy and i think that this is
01:06:51.820
if it continues to play out this way and there's a caveat on this or two but this was last night the
01:06:58.400
best case scenario for a response from Iran was it not yeah it really was and when you look at
01:07:04.860
uh some of the statements from their leadership saying they thought it was proportional they don't
01:07:08.880
want to to to accelerate nor to you know make things worse it's pretty clear the leadership is
01:07:15.100
signaling that they themselves are not going to do anything further although i think their proxies
01:07:20.140
will they've been doing that for 40 years but yes it really was kind of the best case uh that we
01:07:24.780
could have hoped for at this point so we had people on television last night that i thought were
01:07:30.580
crazy saying that we should go after and bomb their oil fields and i thought jeez who is advising the
01:07:35.980
president um his doctrine seems to be his red line american lives and if no american lives were lost then
01:07:44.400
we're fine uh that's exactly go ahead i'm sorry glenn that's exactly right and you've hit upon the key on
01:07:52.000
that and it really has been the president's red line and he's been very clear all through the summer
01:07:56.160
when they were taking our tankers when they're shooting down our drones in international airspace
01:08:01.320
that are operating lawfully when he's attacking the saudi oil fields he always said and by the way i know
01:08:07.260
they've been signaling very very clearly to the iranian leadership if you kill americans everything is
01:08:13.280
different and and through the late fall we began to see them take actions that would kill americans as they
01:08:18.720
consistently bombed facilities where about half the people there were americans and the president
01:08:23.160
signaled again to them you're going to kill some americans if you continue doing this and if you do
01:08:28.160
everything is different and they did kill some american and american citizen and things did change uh but
01:08:33.940
hopefully and i'm actually quite optimistic that this will now settle down and in the reframe their
01:08:41.100
thinking and maybe we can even get something positive coming from this how do you mean what do you think
01:08:45.800
we could possibly get well you know our grand strategy is not just to continue with a 40-year
01:08:52.080
low-grade war with iran going back to the embassy in 79 and every incident and dozens of them and the
01:08:57.860
hundreds of americans who've been killed in the intervening time i mean we can say well that's just
01:09:01.960
the way it is and we'll just accept it or we could encourage it like barack obama did and said here's a
01:09:06.560
boatload of money and here's uh prestige and credibility on the international stage and we now think that you're just
01:09:12.120
another nation on on par morally and the way you treat people like us or we could say look you've
01:09:18.220
got to change your behavior but if you do we will welcome you back into the international community
01:09:22.320
we'll we'll relieve some of the sanctions we'll try to help the iranian people but you can't keep doing
01:09:27.000
what you've been doing for 40 years and maybe i know it sounds crazy but just maybe this is an
01:09:33.020
opportunity for iranian leadership to say you know this is enough we really could modify some of the
01:09:38.520
things we've been doing doubt they're going to do that um probably probably not um you know hopefully
01:09:44.820
if they would have a proxy so they have one you know one degree of separation or more um and they
01:09:54.340
had a proxy go after an embassy or go after a cia station chief it's as they've done before uh or uh
01:10:02.340
or kidnap an official someplace in the in the world uh how do we respond to that does that
01:10:08.280
take us right back to where we were yeah you know i hate to say it depends but it really does depend
01:10:17.380
and it depends on just an incredible number of variables obviously uh this i can say with some
01:10:22.960
certainty their proxies are not a mystery to us uh when they operate through their proxies we don't go
01:10:28.560
boy i wonder who did that or on what authority that took place we can draw these connect these dots and
01:10:34.700
it's not a whole lot of dots you have to connect so they can operate through proxies but they can't
01:10:39.800
do it with impunity and they can't do it with anonymity we know that it's them and they know
01:10:43.860
that we know it's them uh and i guess glenn coming back to my point about it does depend i mean there
01:10:49.700
are so many gray areas in that of who did they capture who did they kill under what circumstances and
01:10:55.580
where and i think the best response is to just say it would be proportional and it would be our
01:11:02.380
response would be proportional and it would be uh to you know reinvigorate this idea that we
01:11:08.040
that there's a defense against this so we're going to not incentivize them for this behavior
01:11:12.740
so i think the president has uh a few groups of people five groups of people that he's he just can't
01:11:20.020
listen to uh and the the uh the ayatollah uh would be well advised not to listen to them as well
01:11:28.660
hezbollah and the hardliners this is not going to satisfy the hardliners it's not going to
01:11:33.560
satisfy hezbollah because those are the diehards that want death to america truly want death to
01:11:39.640
america um in the united states i i would have to put our gop hardliners that a lot of them were on tv
01:11:47.200
last night saying we should bomb the oil fields and everything else and i was thinking that's crazy
01:11:51.300
it's just crazy um so don't listen to those hardliners but also uh the democratic politicians
01:11:58.840
who are so eager for failure here it is insane uh they were immediately saying that this is the
01:12:07.580
death spiral this is going to be world war three uh the the press was was was literally msnbc
01:12:16.680
literally taking iranian state television and running it on the air and and letting it go
01:12:24.000
unchecked i i don't know whose hardliners and whose freaks are worse those in in iran are those here
01:12:34.060
yeah you said much and if i could respond just a couple things on that number one is that uh i'm
01:12:40.320
once again and this is not going to shock anyone but i'm just so disappointed with nancy plosie and
01:12:46.140
this is why and this is this is meaningful this isn't just politics is normal nancy pelosi had
01:12:51.220
the opportunity to last last night to come and see the intelligence which is irrefutable and yet she
01:12:58.380
still went out and made this highly partisan statement about well this is implying that this
01:13:03.340
is american aggression after seeing this intelligence there's no way anyone in the world could honestly
01:13:09.340
come out and say this is anything than what it was and that was the president protecting american
01:13:14.100
lives that is very clear and the second thing i would respond to glenn is agreeing with you and
01:13:19.660
the fact of the hardliners the good news is is you know who agrees with you is president trump right
01:13:24.820
the last thing in the world he wants is to get into any meaningful war or engagement in the middle east
01:13:30.500
again for heaven's sakes that's what he's campaigned on and that's what he's done since and he knows that
01:13:36.340
and the second person or even more than him actually who wants doesn't want a war in with iran is the
01:13:42.600
iranian leadership they know it would be suicide yeah and i i can't tell you how many people have
01:13:46.780
asked me over the last three or four days i mean really worried hey do i need to go get my kids from
01:13:50.840
college you know are we going to war was this and it's like no no no we are not going to be in a major
01:13:55.960
international conflict with iran we don't want it and they don't want it and it doesn't have to be
01:14:01.340
that way we can respond appropriately when they kill american citizens as we have to but that doesn't mean
01:14:08.200
and and i'm confident that we won't be in a large-scale war with them i just don't believe
01:14:12.700
that's that's in the cards at all chris have you ever seen i mean i i just feel as though between
01:14:24.420
the media and quite honestly the democrats i understand the republican hardliners that just
01:14:30.780
you know they just want to regime change and everything else we got to stop doing all of that stuff
01:14:37.360
uh and i understand who iran is but this is not the way to go um i understand that but i honestly do
01:14:45.780
not understand i am very concerned that the democrats uh and the um and the the media are almost cheering
01:14:55.380
for iran uh over us which is just it's it's suicide is the divide really that stark now that even
01:15:07.340
in times when american lives are at stake they'll just can they just hate donald trump so much they'll
01:15:13.760
do whatever it takes well i mean the early indications are that's exactly the case and
01:15:19.840
i'll go back to my example miss pelosi the responsible thing for her to do after seeing
01:15:24.860
the intelligence and having her questions answered would have come out and say the president did the
01:15:29.180
appropriate thing he had no choice she could not bring herself to do that and if she couldn't do it
01:15:34.400
which stunningly we consider her one of the more responsible members of the democratic party now
01:15:39.280
which is unbelievable than me but compared to many of the others she actually is if she can't do that
01:15:44.600
then many of the others will not either and the media will not as well and i think it comes back to
01:15:49.560
what you said glenn they're just so viscerally opposed to this president and and anyone who supports
01:15:55.420
him his voters anyone who who has a kind word towards him is just their mortal enemy it's as if they feel
01:16:01.340
that they that they would actually uh have sympathetic feelings towards uh general sulemani who's
01:16:08.320
responsible for you know the deaths of hundreds of americans and hundreds of thousands of lives from
01:16:14.080
syria through the shia crescent and you know i i hope this will pass i hope that they will you know
01:16:21.680
that they'll come to their senses a little bit on this but uh but the early indications are is that
01:16:27.620
as you said they just oppose and hate this president so badly they just can't think clearly
01:16:32.200
through these things one last question as a guy who's on the intelligence um committee a guy who's
01:16:37.120
been in the air force and um you know high-ranking officer um this letter that was leaked uh that said we
01:16:46.880
were pulling out that was unsigned that is the one of the most damaging things to our policies that could
01:16:55.140
have ever happened i mean it it you you couldn't be you couldn't be uh working for the other side
01:17:04.120
and have a better thing happen than at that point say oh we're gonna pull out which forces the president
01:17:11.840
to say no we're not which which enables iran to say look we're winning forces us to stay is there
01:17:22.760
going to be any consequence for this person do you believe that that was just released accidentally
01:17:27.900
i'm going to answer that as honestly as i can and that's just say glenn i don't know but but we have
01:17:34.340
to find out i mean it was in in a uh a very troubling communication in in the midst of uh of a time when
01:17:41.940
the communication should have been very concise and very very clear and it clearly wasn't the
01:17:46.800
president's policy it clearly wasn't the administration's view that okay well we're gonna we're gonna cut tail
01:17:51.880
and run and by the way that's exactly what what the iranian regime wants us to do so that they can
01:17:56.900
run blood and horror through that area uh but we need to we need to as i've as i've said for several
01:18:02.620
years now i i think we need to relook every place we have american soldiers over there and ask the
01:18:07.700
question is it essential is it a necessary what are we getting for this uh but you can't do it in
01:18:12.480
at this moment and you can't give it to the shian militia and to the iranian regime at this time
01:18:18.660
so yeah but at some point we should look at what what are the purpose of the u.s troops in iraq and
01:18:23.620
how long should they be there but for that communication to have been leaked deceptively
01:18:27.300
like it was and to send that kind of message man we'd love to find out who did that and what
01:18:31.980
well wouldn't that be pretty easy to find out i mean who wrote that was that a low-level private who
01:18:36.600
just didn't know what they were doing or i mean that had to have some weight behind it somebody
01:18:41.160
who wrote that we should be able to find and they should be fired at best or i mean sorry at least
01:18:47.720
well and i'm going to withhold judgment on this until i know more because i don't want to
01:18:53.440
i don't want to say something without the facts but we need to find out and that's and and that's
01:18:57.940
just the bottom line we need to find out who did it under what circumstances what they're thinking
01:19:01.880
it just wasn't what the president's policy it did not reflect our policy and it could be glad that it
01:19:07.220
was just misconstrued in the sense that they were going to reposition troops and it might have been
01:19:11.360
poorly stated but if they're saying we're going to reposition troops to better defend ourselves
01:19:15.600
that's very different than we're going to reposition troops to prepare for a withdrawal
01:19:20.060
well let me know if you pursue it because i'd like to know the answer to that because i think this
01:19:23.920
was this this this was really disturbing i've not seen that happen before chris stewart thank you so
01:19:29.780
much appreciate it congressman chris stewart from uh the great state of utah i mean what was that
01:19:35.900
i i don't want to say anything without the fact what year do you think this is
01:19:39.480
it's not 1965 i mean it's 2019 you say things or 2020 jeez you say things without facts that's what
01:19:46.500
we do you know real estate agents uh being a real estate agent it's just not just a job there's an
01:19:51.620
art to it there's a balance of good habits and techniques that take years to master and the agent
01:19:56.580
doing that job usually comes with a deserved reputation either good or bad there's something
01:20:01.540
deeply important about getting it right so it's not just about the money is it although that's important
01:20:08.080
it's about taking good care of you and your family during a time of crucial and sometimes really
01:20:12.140
difficult change that's why i started real estate agents i trust because i've had my share of difficult
01:20:17.420
encounters with real estate agents over the year and i wanted to make sure that uh we were doing all
01:20:23.940
the best things that we could i i don't know how to hire a real estate agent i don't know what best
01:20:29.620
practices are until i met with the 500 best real estate agents uh in the country according to the wall
01:20:36.600
street journal and started working with them uh on different projects all around the country
01:20:40.640
and after a couple of years i was like oh there is a pattern there is a reason why these guys are the
01:20:45.560
500 best so we put that pattern to the test and we found those agents for you so if you're looking to

01:22:38.000
wondering if because he's always late for these things if he's late because he's just a late guy or
01:22:45.700
if he is uh if he's late intentionally knowing that all of the networks have the podium and they're
01:22:53.540
waiting for the president to walk through those doors to give this press conference and and he knows
01:22:59.920
that they're all going to be talking about it for you know five ten minutes as he's as he's waiting
01:23:04.360
to give this very important speech five seconds and uh he's just uh holding the anticipation
01:23:11.200
because he's never on time on these no not his way i think he likes the build-up he likes the drama
01:23:17.200
right i think he does i think he don't go out there and blab a little bit in front of their cameras
01:23:20.680
wait till it gets awkward so walk out i think he's going to be tough on our end but this was it
01:23:26.160
this is going to be the the end of it i think i don't think he's going to take any military action
01:23:31.680
on it he might talk about sanctions or something like that he'll offer a stiff warning but uh
01:23:38.800
hopefully he doesn't take a victory lap actually running down taking a victory lap
01:23:44.000
uh but he is he's bound to say some you know boasting things and bad things about iran coming up
01:23:51.660
so yesterday was the first time ballistic missiles were fired towards u.s bases in iraq the very first
01:24:16.920
time and we haven't heard anything from the white house we haven't heard anything from the missile of
01:24:23.360
the the military no tomahawks were fired nothing there's been no response which i think is the best
01:24:29.440
case scenario uh they didn't kill anybody they did their little response uh and we're just we win
01:24:38.500
we win in this if we if we remain cool prepare however for a non-military strike on u.s assets
01:24:46.280
and we'll get into that here in a few minutes the president we are waiting for his uh address to
01:24:50.840
the nation on iran we will carry it live as it comes uh but first let me take a one minute break
01:24:56.600
and hopefully by then is the glenbeck program the president will be at the podium all right
01:25:01.720
simply safe home security it's like getting commercial grade enterprise level security but
01:25:06.560
for your home think about the security for a fortune 500 company you know the police are going to
01:25:12.140
arrive at the scene within minutes if something goes wrong there well one of the reasons is because
01:25:16.520
they have uh verifiable video coverage so immediately the alarm goes off somebody that is sitting there in
01:25:24.340
the lobby says oh now here's the video here's what's going on and police are there in about seven minutes
01:25:28.760
everybody else you get about 45 minutes because there's so many false alarms and it just there are
01:25:34.700
just false alarms so they put you at the bottom of the 9-1-1 list unless you have simply safe because
01:25:41.040
they use real video evidence to give police an eyewitness count of the crime and that means they
01:25:46.380
they dispatch the police car 350 faster than the normal normal burglar alarm it's monitored 24 7 and
01:25:55.800
it's it starts at 15 a month there's no contracts no hidden fees nothing you own the system

01:26:29.480
as donald trump is making the world wait uh he's now about eight minutes late for his own press
01:26:38.600
conference uh and we are anxiously waiting to hear what the president has to say after iran uh struck
01:26:45.860
back at us or actually more at rocks in the desert uh last night msnbc of course said that there were 33
01:26:55.480
i think uh americans that had died in that but they were getting it from their source the
01:27:00.880
the state-run television of iran uh you know we kind of wait for the pentagon before we announce
01:27:08.140
those things but um they got it they were running the state-run television last night i've never seen
01:27:13.520
anything like this it's almost as if people want the president to fail they want us to be at war and
01:27:21.120
there are a lot of there are a lot of people in the republican party that i saw on television last
01:27:26.320
night that please mr president don't listen to them uh or we will be at war and we don't need a war
01:27:34.180
with iran uh this i believe is the beginning of the end of that regime we have crippled them they are
01:27:42.380
clearly uh they clearly understand that they can't take on the united states in in military
01:27:48.820
they i believe only went after the embassy to try to change the narrative in iraq and to get america
01:27:57.380
out instead of get iran out because just before that that embassy attack planned by sulaimani
01:28:04.340
uh that's what the people in iraq were doing they were protesting in the streets all over iraq
01:28:10.760
saying get iran out of iraq no more iranian policies and so they
01:28:18.760
they changed the narrative there to get america out um we killed sulaimani and
01:28:26.740
then they responded last night but it was such a pathetic response this is not like they can't hit
01:28:34.840
targets remember just a couple of months ago they went after the oil fields in saudi arabia
01:28:40.240
bold bold action and they used cruise missiles and those cruise missiles came and and hit their
01:28:48.420
target dead center so they are capable of doing it but last night they didn't use cruise missiles
01:28:54.460
they weren't serious they used ballistic missiles with low impact explosives and just didn't hit
01:29:00.800
anything right you know all the reporting is that the military believes they intentionally didn't hit
01:29:06.840
anything correct which is an amazing thing so they can justify it to their their people hey we did
01:29:12.540
something but in reality they didn't do anything best case scenario if this is like if if the the
01:29:18.320
seconds are ticking off the clock and the game ends right now best case scenario for donald trump
01:29:24.260
for the country for every world for everybody this is a great outcome however the other part of this
01:29:30.060
is what does the you know irgc do uh what do they do behind the scenes now do they say well we we showed
01:29:39.600
you what we would do we fired a few missiles to nowhere so we're okay right and then their proxies
01:29:44.760
wind up going out and killing americans or uh capturing people but i think like the message was
01:29:50.940
sent pretty clearly by trump that even when it is a proxy if you kill an american we are going to make
01:29:57.800
you pay in a big way and that's the message they should receive well that's the message that the
01:30:02.280
world used to know yeah i mean having an american passport used to mean something uh when i was growing
01:30:09.080
up you could go anywhere in the world no one would screw with an american no one um and now not so
01:30:18.120
much yeah and when you when these things like benghazi for example happens um why well i mean
01:30:24.940
there's a million different reasons but i mean if you look at uh barack obama and the way his
01:30:30.000
presidency it look it looks similar to jimmy carter in a lot of ways it does and you notice the second
01:30:35.160
that jimmy carter is out of office well those those hostages are getting released um and right when
01:30:42.060
ronald reagan steps in and you know there's some similarities here when when when the rest of the
01:30:47.080
world sees strength they tend that doesn't mean everybody else i'm bin laden i think saw strength and
01:30:54.160
and didn't care but countries nation states typically don't do that uh that's why terrorists
01:30:59.640
are so dangerous and it's why iran uses them right they know they can they think they can get away
01:31:04.100
with this we know who their proxies are though and this is a dangerous game the question is are we
01:31:08.840
going to like close our eyes and say we you know it's okay they can do that since we can't you know
01:31:15.920
legalistically prove every aspect of their involvement we'll kind of let it roll off our shoulders
01:31:20.880
because we don't want anything bad to happen well that's obviously the message trump is saying is no
01:31:24.740
and pompeo especially who is you know reportedly the big uh proponent of this and has been for a very
01:31:31.160
long time uh you know that is something i think is a message the the the world needs to know we're
01:31:37.600
still waiting for president trump to address the nation uh he's uh he's about 13 minutes late now
01:31:43.520
um and we're just waiting to hear what he has to say i i i will tell you as of right now and this
01:31:52.040
could change in a heartbeat but as of right now this has been the best political outcome and the best
01:31:59.940
um geopolitical outcome that i have seen this president has played this expertly so far expertly
01:32:09.120
he has made the right decisions he's held back when he uh when he needed to i'm so impressed when
01:32:15.780
he pulled back and did not go and lob any missiles when they shot down a drone strike i thought that was
01:32:21.560
i thought that was sent a very clear message we're not interested in stuff we're interested in people
01:32:28.260
uh and so he didn't strike back he has been very very uh reticent to strike uh at uh iran but when he
01:32:37.040
had the opportunity and they tried to take our embassy he sent a very strong message no you're
01:32:43.320
not doing it and the the next part of this and i think to to close the loop on whether he's handled
01:32:49.220
this expertly would be for him to kind of say all right well we got our guy they fired they missed
01:32:56.220
everybody we're done for now they better not do anything else though or we're going to start it up
01:33:00.220
again i think that's the right message it seems to be reportedly where he's going with this we'll see
01:33:04.840
when he actually walks out all right uh well i'm going to take stations i'm going to take a quick
01:33:08.540
break so uh we can carry the president um you know when he walks out uh so we'll take this break
01:33:15.820
real early here american financing one thing i'd be willing to bet about you is you like saving money

pocket right now so may i if you're newly married may i give you some advice today is my 20th wedding
01:35:41.600
anniversary and i would celebrate the second and the fifth and the eighth and the 10th and the 12th and
01:35:50.220
the 15th like an animal now that we're hitting a 20th anniversary i'm all out i was like i run out of
01:35:59.880
things to run out of like really impressive you know like this is save some of those save some of
01:36:07.860
those things who knows your marriage might last well then if you don't use them though i guess
01:36:13.940
you can always reuse them on the next wife right yeah absolutely as you you know if the next one
01:36:18.040
lasts great this one looks like it's gonna last forever who would have thought to i was there by
01:36:24.640
the way i should point out you were i was there i know you were i was standing up there with you
01:36:29.200
and watching you get married questioning the entire time what is she doing like what i was too i was
01:36:35.820
surprised when she said yes there was a moment there at the chapel there was like
01:36:40.920
should we trade money we change money hands change yeah you gotta do outside the church that's it's
01:36:46.340
not cool and then when she said yes oh man and then everybody started paying each other off it was
01:36:53.700
ugly it was ugly surprising uh and she stuck with you all this time and i even lost a hundred bucks on
01:36:58.340
that yeah yeah well you hedged yourself well i thought either get the marriage or you get the money
01:37:03.280
there is one thing uh for sure marrying the right person is essential marrying for deep deep quality
01:37:14.460
is uh is the key i mean tanya and i have we've had our arguments and stuff and usually in the
01:37:25.180
beginning of of our of our life together because we didn't really we were still kind of adjusting and
01:37:31.140
like yeah i'm gonna be like this forever uh and uh and you know you get through those early pangs
01:37:38.060
and i can't imagine being without her and she can't imagine being without me and i start to look
01:37:44.840
at people who have lived together forever and i understand why one of them dies quickly after the other
01:37:54.140
one does because they're just they are they're fused together they they just become one and i love it
01:38:01.440
i just love it so is this like you're kind of this nice little soliloquy so you don't have to get or
01:38:07.600
something nice is that because you don't have a present is that basically what this is right here
01:38:10.940
you're like hey i got a delay with donald trump might as well take care of that anniversary present
01:38:14.220
kind of like blab on the air and that's better than it's better than material things and i made you
01:38:18.900
this card with a crayon like it's that type of thing except verbally it's a verbal crayon card
01:38:24.720
is that basically what's happened pretty much okay pretty much do you have a good plan i mean you
01:38:32.940
obviously don't have to say it on the air i do have a plan is it good i think it is well she think it
01:38:39.520
is i guess is the question i have no idea i really have no idea it gets so much harder as you get later
01:38:46.280
in relationships to come up with presents that are good it's that they actually like you can use
01:38:50.540
other things you know what i mean yeah i use this one and that one look good and and they just don't
01:38:57.120
know what to expect but after you know especially 20 years they know what to expect yep and you're
01:39:02.760
supposed to know them really well and i cannot predict my wife on presents i don't know yeah she's
01:39:11.360
very very she's just very satisfied and very uh comfortable and so there's not like things that
01:39:21.720
she wants and yeah and look there's but there's that's a blessing and you're in a good position but
01:39:27.960
i've been she's been that way ever since i met her when we were poor she was like ah it's more about
01:39:32.960
that with her though right like she's just she's just like satisfied but doesn't really need those
01:39:36.560
things and doesn't really care so you have to be super thoughtful and that's just tiring that's
01:39:40.840
so hard come on 20 years of being thoughtful yeah again you can't keep that up you definitely don't
01:39:48.540
have that many thoughts i don't clearly i've been with you doing the show the whole time you got like
01:39:52.520
four thoughts i do and you just change them around all the time you get four thoughts you apply them
01:39:56.580
to whatever news story is on today exactly that's what you do she's got 20 years so you've done the
01:40:01.200
four thoughts you probably repeated them four or five times five times now this will be the fifth this is it
01:40:06.060
this will be the fifth this is it you should just tell her no more presents yeah this is it i got
01:40:10.260
nothing this is it you're gonna get the fourth version of my or a fifth version of my fourth
01:40:14.720
thought and then we're done the problem is is that really all that we both want is just time together
01:40:21.180
that's all we really want just time together and time like honestly like she she sews quilts and
01:40:27.740
things and and i paint and honestly just time just by ourselves she's sewing i'm painting we're kind of
01:40:35.700
talking back and forth doing stuff hey what do you think of this what do you think of this
01:40:39.500
and that's that's all we really want but i mean you can't say hey it's our 20th anniversary
01:40:44.500
go over there and quilt and i'm gonna just no i don't know i know no i know that doesn't sound
01:40:50.120
no i know i know uh but it's also like you know at least in my position it 20th anniversary isn't like
01:40:57.940
hey let's rekindle some fire i mean look at me yeah you know what i mean it's part of my job have
01:41:03.300
to do you know i have to also now plan how for her not to see me so she's like oh yeah instead of
01:41:12.980
oh my gosh i forgot what you look like i forgot what you turned into holy cow is it and this is
01:41:20.320
one of my pieces you're giving advice to young couples and people who are getting married can i
01:41:25.380
give advice big advice uh don't get old just don't just don't age diet 30 39 39 okay well that's i mean
01:41:32.900
that's maybe 40 okay that's solid advice 49 may i give a piece of advice yeah uh here's my advice
01:41:38.560
get do like a year a year of your life maybe in your 20s after you get you get into the relationship
01:41:45.600
things are going great take a year and gain a lot of weight i mean like 40 50 pounds now it's gonna be
01:41:54.160
hard to lose and you might not lose it all but what i'm saying is gain weight early because then when
01:42:00.480
you look back at photos amen you can say i look better than that though right you see i did that
01:42:06.460
no i did that when i married her yeah i was 200 probably 225 230 pounds okay and if she's gonna
01:42:12.920
marry you then first of all you know she's not doing it for the looks right she wasn't doing it
01:42:16.100
for the money yeah i mean she was a quality woman you had more debt than the u.s government it was
01:42:21.500
bad yeah it was bad and uh you know a recovering alcoholic two kids her parents they don't want
01:42:30.100
me to be married to the daughter you know it was and i'm you know i'm just a a mutt with no italian in
01:42:39.120
me they're full-blooded italians i mean there was it was not good right it was not a good and i'm 225
01:42:47.040
230 pounds so two years into the wedding and this is married to an italian i shouldn't say that
01:42:53.000
five years after the wedding uh being married to her to who i remember the first time the latin i
01:43:01.180
remember the last time i had any kind of canned spaghetti or anything else right okay i remember
01:43:09.000
it clearly because she looked at it went yeah i just put this in the pan and heat it up and that's
01:43:14.120
it and i'm like yeah and she tried it and she was like we're never having that again so i somehow
01:43:19.700
or another i lost weight so i i had that i was like i look better now than i did the day we got
01:43:26.640
married yeah that's that's where you want but now i look back and go somehow or another there's four
01:43:33.940
of the guy that you got married to well yeah i mean it's not foolproof you do have to try to
01:43:41.180
that's why you the your argument there you should have gained more weight for the wedding people
01:43:45.740
are like i want to lose weight and look good for the wedding that's the worst thing you want to do
01:43:48.320
you want to be your peak fatness at your wedding because then you can always look back and say look at
01:43:52.460
this after the relationship i put so much time into trying to to make this work look at me i've lost
01:43:59.020
three ounces from that that wedding photo right at least you can always say you're less than that
01:44:04.160
yeah yeah because the wedding photo everybody's thin and looking good nah
01:44:07.760
yeah and that's why also you know you know she really likes you you know like if you're at your
01:44:13.640
you're looking your worst then she you know there's nothing none of that going on you should be poor
01:44:18.120
you should be in debt and fat when you get married that's what i'm saying at the time that was going to
01:44:23.120
be the best it got oh see this is why i love her because i was just well i mean i love her for other
01:44:29.440
reasons too but the reason why she was like golden yeah because i was at the bottom of my career
01:44:36.000
uh i i mean we got married 20 years ago today 20 years ago on friday is the day i started talk
01:44:45.040
radio okay so we got married we didn't have a honeymoon i went right to work which she appreciated
01:44:51.840

01:45:01.940

president donald trump as long as i'm president of the united states
01:47:23.280
iran iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon good morning i'm pleased to inform you
01:47:32.720
the american people should be extremely grateful and happy no americans were harmed
01:47:42.060
in last night's attack by the iranian regime we suffered no casualties all of our soldiers are safe
01:47:53.060
and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases our great american forces are prepared
01:48:03.120
for anything iran appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very
01:48:11.640
good thing for the world no american or iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken
01:48:20.780
the dispersal forces and an early warning system that worked very well i salute the incredible skill
01:48:31.460
and courage of america's men and women in uniform for far too long all the way back to 1979 to be exact
01:48:40.660
nations have tolerated iran's destructive and destabilizing behavior in the middle east and beyond
01:48:48.040
those days are over iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons
01:49:15.000
the united states military eliminated the world's top
01:49:27.320
solemany was personally responsible for some of the
01:49:34.860
he trained terrorist armies including hezbollah launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets
01:49:48.020
he viciously wounded and murdered thousands of u.s. troops including
01:49:52.660
the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember
01:49:58.680
solemany directed the recent attacks on u.s. personnel in iraq
01:50:14.660
in recent days he was planning new attacks on american targets
01:50:20.940
solemany's hands were drenched in both american and iranian blood
01:50:37.820
if you value your own life you will not threaten the lives of our people
01:50:42.240
as we continue to evaluate options in response to iranian aggression
01:50:49.820
will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the iranian regime
01:51:02.500
in recent months alone iran has seen ships in international waters
01:51:14.540
iran's hostilities substantially increased after the foolish iran nuclear deal was signed
01:51:31.660
instead of saying thank you to the united states
01:52:06.320
the regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country
01:58:47.440
i mean it could not have worked out better so far
01:59:33.920
right and when you want to do one of these tests
02:02:41.760
I think this has been a very good day for America.
02:02:45.860
That's not what you're going to hear from the mainstream press.
02:02:48.440
That's not what you're going to hear from a lot of people.
02:02:51.900
And unfortunately, it's it's I don't know what they're saying today.
02:02:55.620
But last night, I heard a lot of people that were giving advice on Fox.
02:03:12.340
Now is the time to support the Iranian people and empower them to do their job and have control of their own destiny.
02:03:23.460
It's ours to make sure that we protect American American lives.
02:03:27.960
And the president has been, you know, the one thing that I know he believes is we shouldn't be involved, involved in wars all over the world.
02:03:41.340
And there are a lot of people in the State Department, in probably the Pentagon, in Congress, maybe even in the administration that don't want to see that happen because that reduces their power and takes the the control of the world out of America's hands.
02:04:02.600
And the president has been using military and economic power, I think, in a very expert way.
02:04:12.220
I mean, I thought the speech and the way he's handled this, he's become presidential.
02:04:19.340
And one of the best presidential presidential moves I've seen when it comes to war in at least 20 years.
