Once again, it's kind of like a lot of things are going on and we one of the issues that we have today is um that curtain does that curtain need to be >> Oh yeah, it's a little bright. >> Yeah, go ahead. One of the issues that Bill has today is his computer is in the shop and so he doesn't have the any editing capability and when that happens that's one reason why we go live and to begin today pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Um when we as we begin today, I wanted to begin with our scripture verse for today and it is to you they cried out and were saved. In you they trusted and were not put to shame. Psalm 225. And I know that there are a lot of Christians in Iran who would relate to that verse because they have been crying out for 47 years. And in spite of what people think, Iran is actually not a Muslim country. The Muslims took it over, but it's not a Muslim country. There are a lot of Christians there. There are a lot of Jews there. But before we begin talking about all of that, and there is a lot to talk about, today is uh 22 years ago. Today, my father went home and my dad was a very proud patriot. He would have voted for President Trump three times. He flew He was in World War II. He flew 35 missions in B17, mostly as a navigator uh sometimes as a bombadier and um whatever they needed him to do. I guess he came home and for that I am eternally grateful. I wouldn't be here without him. and he was a wonderful man, a wonderful father. And one of his favorite hymns was the battle hymn of the republic. And I still remember him in the ICU, barely able to speak, singing that song off key as loudly as he could. And uh so anyway, I just want to say uh I guess you say happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, Dad. and thank you for what you did for our country. And it seems so appropriate to me personally that today we voted. Today is primary day here and we we voted. And the whole time we were going over there, all I could think about was my father. One of the things he said to us was, "Always vote. Always vote." And he didn't tell me how to vote, but he always wanted us to vote. So that's my little tribute. >> And every pole worker that I saw, I said, "Are we getting to extra ballots to vote because we've been cheated the last three years?" And some of them laughed and some of them went, >> "Yeah." And all of that is coming out because there was this recording from Georgia where somebody actually admitted to the ballots. But the big news I guess obviously is what's going on in Iran and it's all over the spectrum. We were on doing a live show when it happened as soon as we could and since then you've gained a little perspective and you hear what all these other people are saying about it. And it's appalling to me and I can't I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it's funny in one way. You have the Iranian women in DC doing as loud, playing the YMCA song as loud as they can, singing and dancing, praising God and thanking President Trump and thanking Americans. You have them online saying to us uh for those of you who voted for President Trump, thank you. And also they're saying they're calling out the Democrats, you know, and then you're seeing all that on that side. On the other end, you've got the Democrats who are crying foul, who are saying this is horrible, etc., etc. You even have these people, Americans, protesting this right beside Iranians, jumping up and down for joy. And part of me wants to say, look, it's their country. They're jumping up and down for joy. What are you protesting? This is not going to be a prot protracted thing. President Trump is not George Bush. He is not Joe Biden. He is not Barack Obama. He is not going to carry this out and at infant item. He hates war. But this had to be done. And there's so many reasons why it had to be done. And one of the things that I'm seeing, Bill, is a lot of these young people who do not understand, who haven't lived through 1979 when our hostages were kept for 444 days. They didn't live through 1983 when they bombed uh Beirut or barracks in Beirut and killed uh Marines. They didn't live through all of the bombings and the killings. I think somebody said that Iran had been responsible for the death of a thousand of our soldiers. I mean, they didn't live through Iran that went from a normal c country, an ally of ours and an ally of Israel's to being women being so oppressed and some of the things that they did to their own people, we can't even talk about. I mean, I don't even want to bring them up. But then then the lies begin. The lie that we bombed elementary schools. No, we didn't. you know, the lies, all these lies. And the Iranians, they don't really have much access to the internet right now. So, they are, you know, getting out what they can get out. But one of the things that's touching me is these people just so grateful >> to President Trump >> to to President Trump and to America and just singing songs. I saw a song that somebody wrote, you know, and it's it's time. It's past time, right? >> Personally, no ma no matter how long he lives, I will always vote for anybody President Trump endorses at this point because he's done so much right. >> I agree. And and just today we found out and I'm I'm some of this stuff makes me chuckle. It came out that the administration, President Trump's administration hacked into the Iranian >> I know >> TV and to put his message out because they have such limited access. >> Put a put a TV stream on their own their own chat their own station. >> That's hilarious. We can do whatever we want to whenever we want to. >> Yeah. And it was just today, I think, was it just today that it came out that the um uh and and I looked it up at C Islamic Republic Guard H I looked it up now. I can't remember what it stands for, but the leaders who were left in the of the evil regime were having a meeting to try to elect somebody to replace uh Kohini Co Manet and uh they bombed it. They bombed the meeting. >> Yeah. So they they knocked off another 50 of their top echelon. >> Yeah. So they are preventing these bad people and they're and some of them as President Trump was just saying some of them are laying down their arms and are quitting. They're not, you know, we're not going to do this anymore. >> Well, this is interesting. Uh I served in the 82nd Airborne and was locked down to go into Iran for two weeks one time in 1988. So for me, Iran is engraved in my memory. >> Good, good, man. Thank you. >> Thank you for your service and thank you for that. I was talking to to Bill um today remembering that I lived I'm not a military family. He is. So he can speak more to this type of thing than I can because I didn't live through all that. But I was in Fagatville from 1980 to 1984. So if you know anything that's the the home of Fort Bragg and it's very close to Pope Air Force Base and um not not very far from Cherry Point actually Marine Base. So I knew a lot of the people who were involved in some of these things and it it was um horrific what Iran did to our country. It was horrific what they did to our own people. They must be stopped. And one of the things that I think about, you're talking about President Trump and people are worried that this is going to be a forever war. No, it will not be a forever war because he doesn't have an ulterior motive. >> Exactly. He doesn't he doesn't need money. >> He's not right. And he's not part of all of that. You know, the Bushes had ulterior motives for everything they did. Believe it or not, they did. Uh Biden, uh Obama, Obama, for heaven's sake, sent them. Somebody online tweeted out the other day, there was a very young person, and they said, "Did Obama actually send pallets of cash to Iran?" >> They sent a whole cargo plane with pallets of cash to Iran. >> That's right. They did. And so a lot of people are not aware of the history. They're not aware because they're young. And I see these young people saying, "We didn't vote for this." Well, actually, yes, you did. You voted for a president who is going to do what is necessary to protect the United States and to protect our allies and also to free the people. I don't even, like I said, I don't even want to talk about what they would do to people over there. It's just, you know, it it we've talked about this before, but it's kind of ironic in a way that the Democrats who are, you know, for all of this evil, what is wrong with you? Do you not understand that they would hang gay people? I mean, what what are you you know, they just because they were gay? I mean this just you you fl you you wave the pride flag in one hand and you are for an evil regime that would hang gay people in the other. It makes no sense. I think a lot of people don't understand. They also don't understand why they're burning mosques. The Iranian people are not burning mosques that are houses of worship. They are burning mosques because they are being used as central places for the evil regime that they're using mosques, they use hospitals, they use schools, they use all kinds of buildings to operate out of. So there's that. >> Yeah. Well, I I want to talk about who replaces here. I I wrote a the last story that I put up was on that topic and u I forgot forgot. >> Sorry. >> I thought you had in your notes. I'm sorry. I would have Yeah. So, and a a lot of people are saying this is unconstitutional that he is that President Trump is a war criminal. No, he isn't. And you know, you just need to read the 1973 War Powers Act. I have found it interesting that the Saudis, etc. are jumping on board and uh >> President Trump just uh uh killed all trade between the US and Spain. Spain did something and I wasn't up early enough to catch it, but the Spain's on the bad list at this point. Well, you know, we were talking this morning, Bill, that Iran made a huge mistake in bombing all these the UAE, all the the Dubai. >> They that's they think they can take over the world. That's what they want to do and they they think if they start doing it, it'll just happen. It's not. >> Well, it also made the Saudis, etc. be solidified in their resolve to fight against this and to fight back and to get revenge. And I've noticed that the UK has now suddenly announced that they will be >> open their air bases. >> Yes. Whereas >> it was marginal. The UK is gone. They will not be able to recover. Sorry. >> Well, I think it was General Halt last night. I don't remember who was talking about the fact that you know we are worried about a nuclear Iran but now we might need to worry about nuclear France. I mean the way France is going it's >> Yeah. And France has just stepped up their production of nuclear weapons for some strange reason. >> Yeah. I know. That's why And I'm thinking >> because they're going to send them. >> Yeah. It's a little bit disconcerting to to see that France is doing doing that. I don't want to go to war with France, but for heaven's sakes, what you know, it the world has changed dramatically. And I just thank God every day that President Trump is president, that he has the resolve, that he has the guts. But what I don't understand is the American people who are not behind this. The American people who are crying foul and saying, you know, he's no better. You know, I think there's just a a big misunderstanding and a lack of understanding. >> No, our children have been propagandized. I I know my own children have been propagandized. >> Well, I think you're right. I think a lot of people have been propagandized. And as I said, I keep seeing online people saying things like, you know, I didn't know. And and asking and honestly asking questions a lot of young people like this guy who said, is it true? because he didn't even know that Obama had sent plane loads of cash which probably filtered back. >> Yeah. In fact, there was so much cash involved that uh he didn't have enough in the United States. So, they had to stop in Britain, England, I believe, to pick up some more US cash before they went on to Iran. >> And all Iran did with it was use it to build to further their nuclear you know, and we even knew at the time when Obama said this is going to stop their nuclear uh capabilities. No, it's not. You're just feeding them. >> Plus, who knows what happened. >> Obama was a liar >> always. You know, it somebody posted this not long ago. We talked about it, but gosh, it was forbidden to even talk about, you know, when he was at Harvard, he went to school on a foreign student visa. And it was touted in the Harvard Law Review that their journal. >> I did a story on about this TV show that was on uh in Egypt and the uh an Egyptian intelligence official was on on saying, "Well, you realize that Obama's head of the Muslim Brotherhood International." Well, but my my but the Harvard Review uh newsletter journal or whatever journal I guess had touted that Obama was Kenyon born in Kenya raised in Indonesia and then when he was a state senator in Illinois they touted the same thing. Look how well this Kenyanborn man has done. He's now in and then all of a sudden he ran for president and suddenly he was born in Hawaii. I didn't know Hawaii was annexed by Kenya was. And then if you said anything about him not being born in Hawaii, you you were evil. >> And then there was this whole thing about how the the woman who kept the birth records in Hawaii had allowed them to be changed. It just we went through this big falderall. I did story after story on this stuff. >> Yes. And you know, it just kind of went in one ear and out the other. Just do what you can when you can. And >> and everybody's worried about the midterm. I'm going to tell you something. The Democrats keep losing voting blocks now. They've lost the Iranians. I don't think there's any American Iranian who's going to >> And there's a lot of them. And And there are a lot of them in Los Angeles. Actually, I didn't realize there were so many there, but I guess they like the weather, >> I guess. Well, there are a lot of them everywhere. But what is so it's still funny to me to see them dancing to YMCA um with and and the women with their long hair flowing now. It it's just a beautiful thing to see. Are there any comments that you want to >> No, they're just saying hello. Hello. >> Hello, >> Ryan. Hello, Alex. I and >> okay well now let me talk about let's try to talk about who's going to replace >> okay >> that's u kind of important and am I going to be able to pull my brain together to do that I'm not so sure about that >> but uh in in any case um there is a group and I I didn't make notes but there there's a group which is is trying to put forth a u a democrat ratic republic form of governance into Iran. They're currently located in Britain, but they're trying to step forward. the former Sha Iran's son, the prince. Um he wants to u take over u but and he he's his implication is he's only going to be uh in that office for two years until uh he can get the uh Iran situated to the point where they can have a real election. And if that's true, that's good. how Rudy Jun Giuliani said just put out a tweet in response I think to my story saying no put putting the Shaw Jr in power would be a terrible mistake. Well, it would be a mistake if that's if he was going to stay there. Um but I mean look, you've got 20% of the Iranian population which supports the existing government, the Mulla government. 20%. They get their money from them, their all their relatives work for them, etc. They're they're locked in. So, okay. Then then the the um other 50% uh support the return of the Shaw's son. So, that's 70%. So, um uh where the other 30% goes, I don't know. But I I it's hard for me to believe that this new group is going to be able to come in uh push out the Shaw who is by far the Shaw's son uh the prince uh by far the leading candidate at this point. But uh so that was just my opinion. uh if and unless this new group which is definitely want doing the right thing they want to create in Iran it the exact constitutional republic structure that we have here in the United States that's great long-term I completely support them but for this interim period I don't think uh you know uh the forces of evil still have a substantial amount of force and uh we're not going to be able to kill them all off and they're going to go underground and you know continue their battle for many years and so uh we have to consider that and right now I just think for the interim period if the Shaw's son uh you know made a promise that uh he would only stay in power two years then I'd say go with that. However, having said all of that, whatever Trump says will be fine with me. I was just putting in my two bits, >> but he has access to much better intelligence than I do. And so, we'll go with whatever Trump says. >> And that's the thing to always remember. President Trump has way more intelligence information than any of us do. He is also quite intelligent himself. In spite of them wanting to make him look like he's not, he is very intelligent >> and completely dedicated to the um the United States and to it surviving this >> and he always has been. You know, I saw an interview that he did 40ome years ago in the middle of the hostage, I think, so it would have been 47 years ago. And they were asking him about, you know, he was talking about Iran and he said, "This hostage situation should not ever have happened." And and they asked him, they said, "Well, would you would you expect us to go in with guns blazing, etc." And he said, "Yeah, they should go in and rescue the people." And of course, Carter was president and they had that failed attempt and then that was it. But um so he this isn't something that he has just thought about today or you know last week or whatever. >> He's been on the right side for a long time. >> He has been on the right side for a long time. He was one of the few people who spoke out and said we do not need to go to should not go to war. >> Completely trustworthy. He doesn't need the money. All he all he does is make the best decision he can for the country. a rare bird in American history. >> Very rare. And we won't see another one like him for a while because I don't think that, you know, we make two of those. But >> Vance would be good. Marco would be good. That's what Trump Trump You They wanted to put some people in there to train them up. >> I know, but nobody's going to be like President Trump. There's We're never gonna have another one. Somebody said in >> Oh, don't say that. That's so negative. >> It's not negative. I'm not saying that in a negative way. I'm just saying that he has a personality and charisma or whatever. Um, and I'm not saying that that we won't have good leaders again or we won't have good people again. I'm just President Trump I, you know, I was a fan of his way back when. Uh, way back >> you were a fan of his just from watching his TV show. >> Well, way back when. I remember him. I remember those interviews that they were pulling up, >> you know. But >> gosh, you must be older than me. >> No, >> you don't look it. >> I'm not. I just paid attention to, you know, he was on Oprah. He was on this show and that show. >> Yeah. I see. I would never watch that stuff. So >> well you know always there was that I mean he was a quite handsome billionaire so I was a young woman so there was always that sort of I I still remember my sister reading one of those tabloids going oh Donald Trump is single again so there was that she would not like me saying that so I won't say any more about it but he has He has not changed his mind in all these years. And he is also, as I was getting ready to say, he was one who was against going to Iraq. He was one of the few people who spoke out and said we should not go to Iraq. But one of the things that my I didn't want us to go to Iraq either, but once we have troops committed to a place, it is my belief that you should not continue to protest that because the the soldiers in harm's way that used to be the American way, >> right? Well, and then the Vietnam War was a big lesson in that. I think I think Americans I I thought had learned the lesson of don't it's okay to be against something but some of your actions put troops in harm's way but not only that it doesn't do anything to help their morale >> right >> and I think that's very important um you know and and I just I just think that that's very important. I also believe you put up the thing about Queen Esther, about um the feast of Pum. The feast of Pum began yesterday and that God loves his feast days and you'll see things happening around feast days. So, it's always good to pay attention, but it's always good to also pay attention to what scriptures. There's nothing new under the sun and things that happened before will happen again. And I just really see God's hand on President Trump. Also too, we were talking about the people and that gentleman who I don't remember who it was said that in Israel in the polling in Israel, the Israelis are 81% of them behind the attacks on Iran. And in America, it's like what 54% in favor or some stupid thing. >> Well, of course, is Israel is a lot bigger target and a lot closer. I mean, a lot closer target. So, >> right, they've been personally Well, I also appreciated seeing Greg Kelly interview one of the hostages um who was hostage in 1979 talking about how he felt about all of this and and that this of course is significant to them. I think that the Democrats in office need to shut their mouths and stop lying. They are just lying to the American people and then the press picks up the lies, you know. >> Well, that's why Newsmax has come into into being and is now very popular. >> That's true. That's true. But but but even today I saw a little clip of Bill Clinton testifying and they kept trying to get him to say that President Trump was involved with the epistem and he said well they had a big argument over some land deal and all he remembered. That's all there is. And they would not stop pressing him on that issue. It was like they wanted him to tell him, "Yeah, you know, he was big involved in that and he just wasn't." So, >> I think I think Trump has done Clinton some some favors by not going after him. >> I you know, I think so. Um, was there something else there was I felt like there was something else that you wanted to bring out about >> No, I just really really wanted to get out that thing about uh who who takes over after after this mess occurs and hope hopefully Trump will continue to impress. He will. And God is in this thing and we just need to continue to pray and vote. And you know, speaking of voting, it did come out just yesterday or the day before about again with Georgia in 2020 and somebody on videotape admitting what they did about stealing that election. All of that is going to come out. The truth is going to come out. The truth is hidden in >> videotape exists of them taking the suitcases and sticking them under the counting table and then after they thought the the cameras were off pulling the suitcases out. >> You know that exists. I I replayed it. I could find it somewhere if I wanted to spend 18 hours looking for it. >> Well, you know, and but I mean these people were actually admitting what that that's what they were doing. But what but one of the things that I want us to all remember is what General Flynn said. Remember in in that there is so much misinformation out there that you're going to hear so many things. We did not bomb in elementary school. Iran did that themselves. You know, we're going to hear all of this stuff about what we did or what we didn't do or whatever. Most of it is probably not true, especially if it's negative. >> Oh, Ryan. Ryan Lind Ryan Lynn says, "I just started watching News, Max." Well, you're on the right channel now. >> Yeah, I think they I think they do a good job. I think they're pretty well balanced. >> I gave up on Fox. >> Yeah, I gave up on Fox uh five years ago, six years ago now. So, in any case, is there anything else we need to talk about? Okay. So pray for wisdom for President Trump, wisdom for BB. Don't listen to half of what you see out there and um pray for President Trump and pray for the United States and don't worry about the midterms. Just keep just vote and pray. Pray. >> You can rely on Newsmax. Somebody just said that they don't watch the MSM. There was a point where I didn't watch the MSM either, but Newsmax has taken control, taken charge. >> Yeah, Newsmax is not considered. Um, and CNN may actually be bought by Ellison. He's they're in a deal right now. >> Yeah, but he'd have to he'd have to completely throw all those people out and start over. >> Well, a lot of them are saying they're going to quit, so that would be a good thing. And and it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to throw everybody out and start over. We wouldn't mind that, would you? >> No. >> No. I think >> if they gave me a job, >> I think it's wonderful to see the people at CNN into a panic at just the thought of >> Too bad. So sad. >> Yeah. Yeah. Some point everything will come out. Everything will be okay. Keep praying. We love all of you. We appreciate you. And God bless President Trump. God bless the United States of America. And Lord, God bless the people in Iran and help them get through this. This is a tough time right now, but I don't think it'll last long. >> I think it'll be okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Goodbye. Goodbye. I have to do
