Speaker 3 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan Show.

Speaker 8 We had a big episode planned because we were, we thought, I thought we were going to be in the war.

Speaker 13 And I, if you remember when I did that episode about the LA fires, I did it at a studio in Las Vegas, Sirius XM studio at the Wynn.

Speaker 16 And they have a big background, a big screen that you can put an image up on.

Speaker 18 And

Speaker 19 I was there and I, we had an image of missiles and it was going to look really cool.

Speaker 15 And then Trump's like, oh, we're going to take two weeks to get into the war.

Speaker 23 And it's like, I'm as anti-war as the next guy.

Speaker 13 But like, I had a graphic designer work on something.

Speaker 26 Like we were ready to do this whole welcome to the war episode of the Tim Dylan show.

Speaker 24 Like we're in it now

Speaker 27 and we were just committing to it.

Speaker 29 You know, we were in.

Speaker 24 And

Speaker 9 I get it, holding off.

Speaker 8 I understand diplomacy.

Speaker 30 I actually recommended it.

Speaker 27 However, I think it's just we're sending mixed signals specifically to content creators.

Speaker 27 We're sending mixed signals to the people.

Speaker 35 I mean, forget our troops, you know, they're, I mean, they're important in a way,

Speaker 38 but really

Speaker 41 the mixed signals are being put out to the content creator community.

Speaker 43 Podcasters, comedians,

Speaker 33 you know, stand-up, sketch, improv, whatever,

Speaker 18 influencers, large and small of all sorts, all kinds, all over the world.

Speaker 48 right now are trying to figure out where we're going.

Speaker 36 What are we doing?

Speaker 4 And I thought we were in and I had a studio booked and i had an entire thing planned and now we're out

Speaker 4 but

Speaker 54 i guess we're only out for two weeks and i don't think we're really out

Speaker 15 because people i'm talking to have said like uh that

Speaker 57 they're in the military and they expect that they're being deployed they're moving big aircraft carriers over there that wouldn't be moved if they did not think that there was going to be a

Speaker 17 major war.

Speaker 60 And I i don't just mean the nimits i mean actual ones moving out of the south china sea

Speaker 28 going to the middle east because war with iran seems to be

Speaker 10 inevitable it seems to be an inevitability now i don't know if that's true

Speaker 66 The only thing I know is I got into podcasting to be Israel's biggest defender in podcasting.

Speaker 68 That's why I started a podcast.

Speaker 30 That's all I know.

Speaker 69 And me and Ted Cruz are the same in that.

Speaker 70 But other than that, I don't know much else.

Speaker 41 I know that Israel recently came out and said, we got to get rid of the Ayatollah Khomeini.

Speaker 17 Khomeini?

Speaker 72 The Ayatollah must go.

Speaker 73 So it's a very odd picture, right?

Speaker 51 Because you have like Trump going like, diplomacy, we're going to make a deal.

Speaker 51 And then you have Israel going, we're going to kill

Speaker 31 everyone.

Speaker 77 And so Trump literally said, he said a few weeks ago, he's like, the people that I was negotiating with are dead.

Speaker 64 They didn't die of COVID.

Speaker 79 They're gone.

Speaker 80 So it's got to be difficult.

Speaker 18 Imagine you're on a car lot

Speaker 57 and you see a sweet little Kia for you and the lady,

Speaker 82 and it's safe enough and well within your price range.

Speaker 84 And you're talking to this guy on the lot and his head explodes.

Speaker 51 because he gets hit with a mortar.

Speaker 85 And then you're like, well, okay.

Speaker 82 And then you're ducking and covering

Speaker 52 behind another Kia,

Speaker 70 and this guy's bleeding out dead.

Speaker 52 And then you run into the Kia dealership to try to get some clarification on the price or the terms, and also to say, hey, that guy's dead.

Speaker 66 And then half the dealership's on fire because of a missile strike.

Speaker 91 I imagine negotiation in that environment is probably tough.

Speaker 93 Get up that my favorite

Speaker 18 news article.

Speaker 6 Iran

Speaker 94 refuses to accept

Speaker 95 ceasefire while under Israeli attack.

Speaker 33 It was from Reuters.

Speaker 97 This is the most amazing article.

Speaker 41 Yeah, Iran rejects ceasefire negotiations while under Israeli attack.

Speaker 73 What's wrong with them?

Speaker 36 So we're beyond parody.

Speaker 93 I just want everyone to realize that at this point.

Speaker 16 We're actually beyond parody.

Speaker 74 It's no longer satirical.

Speaker 24 I don't know how to do a comedy show if this is a headline in Reuters.

Speaker 36 I don't know how to be funny about that headline.

Speaker 51 What could I say that would be better than that?

Speaker 81 Iran rejects ceasefire negotiations.

Speaker 76 while under Israeli attack.

Speaker 41 And people I know, influencers, are putting it it out and going, see, see how unreasonable they're being.

Speaker 102 It's like, well, you're in a war.

Speaker 84 I mean,

Speaker 103 you're attacking them.

Speaker 104 Israel has supremacy over their airspace.

Speaker 63 They're doing well, I believe, but I believe Israel's weapons will run out eventually and that they will need to be restocked by yours truly, the United States.

Speaker 84 And again, this is all about the Iranian nuclear capability,

Speaker 107 which

Speaker 40 I and many others,

Speaker 50 again,

Speaker 65 there's not smoking gun evidence that Iran is a day away from having a nuke or a month away from having a nuke.

Speaker 83 Iran is enriching uranium as per Vice President Vance.

Speaker 83 And of course, enriched uranium is used, you know, when you enrich it past a certain point, it's used for, you know, weaponized purposes.

Speaker 66 That being said, this isn't exactly a new thing that Iran's like trying to get a nuke, right?

Speaker 33 We've been told this for a very long time.

Speaker 72 And I'm not saying they're not.

Speaker 33 I'm not an omniscient, godlike presence.

Speaker 90 We were told Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Speaker 45 We're told that there's Iranian sleeper cells all over the USA.

Speaker 64 Maybe there are.

Speaker 45 We're told that Iran has tried to assassinate the president of the United States on multiple occasions.

Speaker 61 Now, all of this is basically that you have to take people's word for it.

Speaker 30 Very little of it is like,

Speaker 55 well, here is the smoking gun evidence that we have.

Speaker 75 A lot of it is like, hey,

Speaker 41 and by the way, I have no problem thinking Iran would want the president dead if they could wave a wand and make it happen, or if Iran would like to establish a caliphate.

Speaker 41 Iran pops a lot of shit, death to America, death to Israel, the great Satan, the little Satan, the whole thing.

Speaker 82 We know that.

Speaker 70 But actively, I don't feel that Iran is close

Speaker 96 to attacking Manhattan.

Speaker 72 That's not

Speaker 68 just going off pure vibes, as I must, occasionally.

Speaker 101 Going off pure vibes, I don't believe that Iran

Speaker 54 is going to invade the United States or or or

Speaker 93 fire a missile at the United States of America and sign its death warrant.

Speaker 99 Iran probably wants the bomb so that people can not do what they're doing now.

Speaker 31 This is a guess.

Speaker 103 Now, Saudi Arabia, who's kind of in league with us in Israel, God bless.

Speaker 77 Hope everyone's happy.

Speaker 41 But Saudi Arabia is like they want to, they're doing some Hitler shit in the Middle East.

Speaker 93 You don't get it.

Speaker 70 Like what Iran's doing.

Speaker 51 They want to build this entire

Speaker 97 because you know, Saudi, Iran,

Speaker 112 butting heads.

Speaker 93 They They don't like each other.

Speaker 37 Iran is Shia.

Speaker 25 Saudis are, I believe, Sunnis.

Speaker 65 Maybe some of them are Shia. I don't know.

Speaker 48 But there's religious conflict between those two places.

Speaker 77 Iran is Israel's biggest

Speaker 90 obstacle in establishing what Israel wants, this kind of greater Israel idea of having little parts of Syria, Lebanon, and whatnot.

Speaker 66 So, and I mean, listen, again, it needs not be stated that I don't have any love loss for Iran.

Speaker 112 I don't care about Iran at all.

Speaker 28 I don't think about Iran.

Speaker 41 Well, how lucky you are not to think about Iran, you lucky?

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 79 I don't think about it.

Speaker 83 It doesn't keep me up at night.

Speaker 51 It doesn't paralyze me with fear, and it does not terrorize me.

Speaker 70 Now,

Speaker 55 I'd like people not to die. I'd like the world economy to be okay.

Speaker 104 If there is a regime change, hopefully this one works.

Speaker 100 Hopefully this one's quick.

Speaker 76 Hopefully this one's in and out.

Speaker 101 Light touch.

Speaker 101 Because the others haven't been that great.

Speaker 77 Can we just be honest about that?

Speaker 34 The other regime changes.

Speaker 93 The Taliban's back.

Speaker 82 Who the fuck knows what's going on in Iraq?

Speaker 51 Syria is being run by ISIS.

Speaker 103 Libya is a failed state.

Speaker 99 You've got 90 million people in Iran.

Speaker 101 It's not so easy to just wave a magic wand and go, by the way, you're all pro-Western and pro-Israel.

Speaker 34 Now, I know a lot of people are saying, they're going, well, these Iranians actually don't like the regime.

Speaker 77 And I bet that's true because the regime sucks.

Speaker 81 The Iranian regime sucks.

Speaker 47 They have these virtue police to throw acid on women or hit them with a stick or put them in jail.

Speaker 55 In Beverly Hills, they had that photo of that chick who she walked out without the hijab and they went nuts and everybody was having the, you know, a couple of months ago, they had some like things in Beverly Hills, some like protests, and I was all about it.

Speaker 51 I mean, I don't stop or I drive by in my Rolls-Royce.

Speaker 18 They don't want me there.

Speaker 64 What am I going to do?

Speaker 100 But Iranian Jews in Beverly Hills were gathering to protest the treatment of that woman.

Speaker 55 And I agreed I'd do the fist as I drove by.

Speaker 112 And I agree with them on that thing about that woman and whatever happened.

Speaker 118 Not good.

Speaker 99 Let her out. I think she might be out.
Or stop burning her.

Speaker 115 Whatever they're doing, I'm for it.

Speaker 47 Against it.

Speaker 100 Against, I'm for them being against it. Listen to what I'm saying.

Speaker 97 I'm not in any way to put that, you know, I don't want to throw acid on that woman.

Speaker 51 I don't even know that woman.

Speaker 101 So, yes,

Speaker 32 when the Jews in Beverly Hills were going nuts, and these are the Aladdin Jews, the Sephardic ones, the brown ones, the ones I like because they have the bright colors.

Speaker 85 I was with them and I'm still with them.

Speaker 82 But I don't know if everyone in Iran is going to be into it.

Speaker 121 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 97 I just don't think they're going to be into it. If I had to guess.

Speaker 70 Now, maybe I was wrong.

Speaker 18 Now,

Speaker 80 I was wrong.

Speaker 24 I'm willing to admit I'm wrong.

Speaker 80 There's a crowd of people here that seem very excited

Speaker 64 about

Speaker 123 U.S.

Speaker 102 arrival into this war.

Speaker 70 This is a crowd of people that is incredibly excited about the United States and Israel and this upcoming war.

Speaker 124 They are jazzed about it.

Speaker 99 They're into it.

Speaker 73 Let's look at some of the

Speaker 120 fun

Speaker 18 people

Speaker 122 that we are now going to own soon if we invade their country.

Speaker 126 Mama punched the United States and Israel in the mouth, he says.

Speaker 126 Trump, you are threatening my leader, this woman says. Don't you know my nation believes death is sweeter than honey?

Speaker 126 What do you have, Israel? He says, You have nothing. You are occupiers, unreligious.
You're killing people, killing women. You kill everyone.
You're terrorists.

Speaker 111 Yes, well, it seems to be

Speaker 76 the excitement is palpable for a Western-style

Speaker 119 Iranian

Speaker 115 regime.

Speaker 57 There's 90 million people, so obviously there are varied opinions.

Speaker 55 There's the younger, more progressive people.

Speaker 61 There's whatever the hell we just saw.

Speaker 98 There's a spectrum of people, and it will be fun weeding out

Speaker 73 who feels what way because there's only 90 million of them.

Speaker 52 So the fun of this whole thing will be who

Speaker 79 feels which way.

Speaker 100 And we'll get to do that over a period of years

Speaker 128 with explosions and weaponry.

Speaker 122 And we'll, you know, it's kind of a door to door.

Speaker 110 And then some of the people who might have liked that, think of how people in our country, have you ever had a friend that did this, went from far to the left, far to the right, far to the left?

Speaker 92 I've had those friends.

Speaker 116 Isn't it interesting?

Speaker 32 Extremism is always its own justification.

Speaker 113 So people that go really far off the deep end can swing back the other way.

Speaker 40 You know, a big whore becomes religious and then is a whore again.

Speaker 77 Well, what does that mean?

Speaker 54 Extremism

Speaker 28 can breed extremism and then a pendulum will swing from one way to the next.

Speaker 9 Some very progressive people end up being very right-wing.

Speaker 103 It's in every area of life.

Speaker 85 It's not only politics.

Speaker 101 Okay?

Speaker 55 Look at addicts that go from using drugs every single day

Speaker 76 to being sober.

Speaker 103 And then who knows, you know, God forbid they end up back on drugs.

Speaker 41 We don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 76 So it's very possible that some of these younger progressive, progressive, we love American Israel types decide at some point

Speaker 35 that actually they were wrong after they've seen enough of their friends and family die that actually they become deeply religious and hate us.

Speaker 51 You know what I mean?

Speaker 119 Like, we don't know which way it's going to go.

Speaker 36 You never know when you have a country of 90 million people that's been under the grips of this Ayatollah, who's a nut,

Speaker 82 but he's, you know, and they have an iron fist on that country, and then we let it up.

Speaker 32 We don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 76 Now, it would be lovely if it all worked out.

Speaker 100 It would be lovely if it all worked out.

Speaker 57 It would be really nice if it all worked out.

Speaker 77 If you went to Iran, which, by the way, is like the surface of Mars.

Speaker 90 Steve Bannon said that, and he was right.

Speaker 83 It's a completely foreign landscape in the sense of like,

Speaker 61 you know, it's a different world. It's a different culture.

Speaker 122 but maybe it would be nice if there were baristas and coffee shops and people you know and i'm sure there are and people are going to be you ignorant pig there actually are those things yeah yeah yeah whatever i don't care i don't even want to talk about it i don't want to be involved i'm just saying like if it was western and american and everybody was chill and you could walk outside without the hijab

Speaker 87 without without getting that acid on you because i didn't want that and i i like that protest they did because it wasn't burning the cars it was just kind of chanting.

Speaker 45 And they had her, a pretty woman, and they had her picture.

Speaker 85 And I was with them because it didn't affect me.

Speaker 65 I was going to,

Speaker 9 well, Scala, it didn't affect me.

Speaker 11 I was able to go right by.

Speaker 86 That's what a good protest is in a luxury neighborhood that I can see as I go to lunch and then think about it.

Speaker 51 That's what a good protest.

Speaker 79 I see it and I go, huh, that is interesting.

Speaker 41 And then I discuss it at lunch.

Speaker 70 Not the burning of the tires or the Waymos or, you know, blowing up door dashers or whatever these people are doing.

Speaker 51 You got to rein it in.

Speaker 119 Now, all I'm saying about Iran here is that the people are a mixed bag.

Speaker 38 Can we agree?

Speaker 31 Can we agree that they're a mixed bag over there?

Speaker 41 And some of them may like us and some of them may not.

Speaker 134 Hi, I'm Martine Hackett, host of Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a production from Ruby Studio in partnership with Argenix.

Speaker 141 This season, we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from from people living with MG and CIDP.

Speaker 145 Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone.

Speaker 150 We'll hear from people like Corbin Whittington.

Speaker 155 After being diagnosed with both CIDP and dilated cardiomyopathy, he found incredible strength through community.

Speaker 165 So when we talk community, we're talking about an entire ecosystem surrounding this condition, including, of course, the patients at the center, that are all trying to live life in the moment, live life for the future, but then also create a new future.

Speaker 174 Listen to Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 197 Chime feels like progress.

Speaker 84 Now, Israel's come out and said we have to kill the leader.

Speaker 83 Now, this is a good negotiation tactic.

Speaker 78 This is what I've always found.

Speaker 51 When you are negotiating, the most important thing you can do in a negotiation is kill the person you're negotiating with.

Speaker 119 This gives you advantage.

Speaker 55 To show you are serious about a negotiation, The most important thing you do is violently attack the person you're negotiating with, killing them, thus giving you any and all advantages for the further negotiation.

Speaker 112 So smart for Israel and

Speaker 32 it makes us seem very legitimate, doesn't it?

Speaker 76 When we go, we're going to negotiate and then Israel goes, well, actually, we're going to kill

Speaker 182 this guy.

Speaker 51 And it's like, are we partners in this?

Speaker 79 What are we doing here?

Speaker 118 What are we doing?

Speaker 76 Are we, are us and Israel, like, this is like being at a bar and like the wingman has, like, is fucking the girl now.

Speaker 123 Like, the wingman is like fully,

Speaker 87 you're like, bro, what is this?

Speaker 73 Like, it's gone from like, dude, wingman walk into a bar to like the wingman is lighting the bar on fire and it's not helping anyone.

Speaker 97 So,

Speaker 87 Israel, get this guy up here.

Speaker 35 Uh, that this guy says that the supreme leader of Iran must go, the Ayatollah

Speaker 101 Khomeini,

Speaker 77 and this is uh, they're just saying this in the middle of these negotiations.

Speaker 81 Now, by the way, does anyone believe these negotiations are happening?

Speaker 64 And if they are happening,

Speaker 118 what?

Speaker 118 Like, how

Speaker 113 are we negotiating?

Speaker 80 How is anyone negotiating here?

Speaker 103 Can we get a video on this?

Speaker 65 Or did this guy just say this in print?

Speaker 67 This is the defense minister.

Speaker 49 of Israel going like, we need to,

Speaker 80 okay,

Speaker 85 let's watch Netanyahu do it.

Speaker 77 Let's see see it from netanyahu saying we got to get rid of this guy because it would be good

Speaker 199 our friends over at global news let's see what netanyahu is saying give it a little volume we had the peace talks we gave it a chance we've uh you know clenched our teeth we did everything we could to enable president trump to uh negotiate the desired result and that would have been preferable for us and i think for everyone right but we saw in the course of the negotiations while they were negotiating with the united States,

Speaker 199 the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenahi, tweeted almost every day, death to Israel. The talks were merely a facade.

Speaker 77 But that's his catchphrase.

Speaker 45 Listen, they're confusing a catchphrase with a policy.

Speaker 90 This is the problem.

Speaker 76 Death to Israel is his catchphrase.

Speaker 51 I mean, have you ever seen Larry the Cable die?

Speaker 75 Get her done.

Speaker 51 Get her done. Larry the Cable guy.

Speaker 52 A catchphrase is a thing that doesn't necessarily suggest a policy.

Speaker 123 Death to Israel is the Ayatollah's catchphrase.

Speaker 66 That's his,

Speaker 32 it's his like comfort little, you know, what do they call it when someone's autistic?

Speaker 47 Stimming?

Speaker 18 Vocal stim.

Speaker 92 What?

Speaker 124 That's his stimming.

Speaker 64 Don't stigmatize mental health.

Speaker 111 He's writing death to Israel, but he's, what is it?

Speaker 87 A stim.

Speaker 5 Stimming.

Speaker 76 Defense minister Israel Katz issued his strongest, by the way, I mean, hilarious hilarious name. Defense Minister Israel Katz issued

Speaker 66 his strongest threat yet to assassinate the Ayatollah, saying Turan Supreme Leader cannot continue to exist.

Speaker 82 What if in the middle of a negotiation at Kia,

Speaker 103 you just looked at the guy and went, you cannot continue to exist.

Speaker 51 The guy would go, this seems odd.

Speaker 93 I thought we were trying to find like common ground on the price of this sportage.

Speaker 51 But I'll tell you this.

Speaker 110 I'm all for peace.

Speaker 6 I'm hoping and I want human rights.

Speaker 124 I thought about this today.

Speaker 82 I said human rights and peace.

Speaker 55 That's my position.

Speaker 36 Your move, everyone else.

Speaker 58 And what's good about that position I have there, human rights and peace, is that no matter which way this goes, we won't get either.

Speaker 18 So I'm,

Speaker 82 there is no, there will be no peace and then the human rights probably is not going to happen.

Speaker 109 Now, what's going on in Gaza? Are they?

Speaker 78 Because here's what I would love.

Speaker 109 Perhaps we're not paying attention to Gaza.

Speaker 100 We're all thinking about Iran, and maybe Gaza is getting like better.

Speaker 24 Is that happening?

Speaker 61 Like, are the people that are starving in Gaza now?

Speaker 104 Is it

Speaker 18 better?

Speaker 113 Do they have food?

Speaker 80 Or is it

Speaker 18 or what is happening over there?

Speaker 120 Now,

Speaker 93 Israel tanks kill 59 people in Gaza crowd trying to get food.

Speaker 18 Well,

Speaker 87 not ideal.

Speaker 87 Not ideal.

Speaker 30 And this is from that Hamas rag Reuters.

Speaker 87 This is what I thought RFK was going to do.

Speaker 90 was roll the tanks out and stop people from getting food.

Speaker 65 Israel military kills 23 Palestinians near aid site in gaza witnesses and medic say what is the argument for killing the people trying to get food

Speaker 110 right i mean doesn't that does that i mean

Speaker 75 i guess you say hamas is under the hospital or they got a tunnel you know whatever the case you know there's there's certain uh the idf said troops

Speaker 75 Fired warning shots after people gathered nearby.

Speaker 26 And Israeli aircraft then struck several suspects who the IDF said continued walking towards troops.

Speaker 83 Well, I just don't know if the best way here to do this, is there another group that could come in besides the IDF to give them the food?

Speaker 61 I think the trust is gone.

Speaker 101 I really believe that.

Speaker 82 Like if I was in Gaza and I saw everyone I know burned alive.

Speaker 10 And then the IDF showed up with a, you know, I don't know, a

Speaker 25 fucking pop-tart,

Speaker 118 I would think it was a bomb.

Speaker 97 I would go, I don't know if that's a pop-tart.

Speaker 99 That might be a bomb.

Speaker 124 So, what you need to do is let international aid people in, but I don't think they're letting those people in.

Speaker 43 They're not really letting journalists in.

Speaker 51 I hope everything,

Speaker 51 I hope everything.

Speaker 51 I hope, I hope everything,

Speaker 76 let's listen to Trump here because

Speaker 41 Tulsi Gabbard, our friend Tulsi Gabbard,

Speaker 86 aloha, Tulsi, is now apparently on the ice, on the outs

Speaker 52 with Trump, although there's reports that that's not true, but then people are saying it's true.

Speaker 48 This seems like it might be true.

Speaker 41 Let's watch Donald Trump here.

Speaker 201 And I think within a matter of weeks or certainly within a matter of months, they're going to be able to have a nuclear weapon. We can't let that happen.
I was very much opposed to Iraq.

Speaker 201 I said it loud and clear, but I was a civilian, but I guess I got a lot of publicity. But I was very much opposed to the Iraq war.
And I actually did say, don't go in, don't go in, don't go in.

Speaker 201 But I said, if you're going to go in, keep the oil. But they didn't do that.

Speaker 202 What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a nuclear weapon? Your intelligence community has said they have no evidence that they are at this point.

Speaker 201 Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?

Speaker 202 Your director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. She's wrong.
Mr. President.
President, he is in any way helping.

Speaker 94 I do think

Speaker 6 an Iran

Speaker 178 conflict,

Speaker 9 if it is prolonged,

Speaker 188 if it is in any way a

Speaker 49 destabilizing force, which

Speaker 18 how could it not be, right?

Speaker 6 It will cause a semi-permanent rift in his coalition of his fans.

Speaker 33 I think a lot of his fans want

Speaker 45 an America-first foreign policy that's not, maybe not quite isolationism, but certainly not

Speaker 10 being engaged in the world militarily in the way that an Iran conflict could potentially be.

Speaker 84 I mean, it might be quick, fast, in and out.

Speaker 77 you know, you talk to people and they're like, the thing is, they just need to get that, that area that Iran's enriching this thing, this Fordham area, whatever they call it.

Speaker 33 I keep thinking of Fordham, the college, and the Bronx.

Speaker 26 I'm like, I think that's more dangerous.

Speaker 121 But this area is deep underground.

Speaker 90 It's like 30 meters underground or something.

Speaker 3 So, in order to get it, we need those bunker-busting bombs.

Speaker 93 And Israel doesn't have them and they don't have the planes to fly them.

Speaker 78 But there's Israeli special forces probably on the ground right now.

Speaker 33 And I think our people are telling them this is how you can maybe get in and blow the whole thing up if you can get in that area.

Speaker 65 But we know that area is probably very tightly guarded.

Speaker 41 So what you're going to need is some of these bunker-busting bombs.

Speaker 98 Iran built its most critical nuclear enrichment facility, Fordo,

Speaker 96 deep inside a mountain to shield it from attacks.

Speaker 45 But the United States has a bomb that experts think could probably reach the subterranean site.

Speaker 93 President Trump is considering a plan to use it.

Speaker 41 Only the U.S.

Speaker 65 military has a 30,000-pound GBU-57 or massive ordnance penetrator that may be able to destroy Fordo.

Speaker 56 And it is the only armed force with aircraft that can carry out such a mission with it.

Speaker 63 So

Speaker 98 this is what they want.

Speaker 70 Now, but they also want the Ayatollah gone.

Speaker 28 They want the regime gone.

Speaker 45 They're encouraging people to rise up in the streets.

Speaker 67 People are talking to the Shah's son.

Speaker 16 Get up the Shah's son, Pavlavi

Speaker 106 son.

Speaker 53 Because people are talking to him, going like some of the expats are talking to him.

Speaker 28 Here we are, meet the lesser-known son of Iran's last Shah calling for a regime change.

Speaker 72 So this guy becomes like our Ahmed Chalabi.

Speaker 90 If you're old enough to remember Iraq, there was this guy, Ahmed Chalabi, and he went and said, we're greeted as liberators.

Speaker 49 The regime's going to fall immediately.

Speaker 10 It's all going to be okay.

Speaker 113 Now, in these things, the regime falls quickly, and then it gets fun.

Speaker 66 Because now you just have the population.

Speaker 51 So maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

Speaker 56 Reza Pavlavi, the exiled son of the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah, was until recently a figure with little to no say in Iranian affairs.

Speaker 25 He now makes regular appearances on TV and is calling for a regime change in Iran.

Speaker 65 He said, quote, the Islamic Republic has come to an end and is collapsing, Aden, the future is bright.

Speaker 83 And together we will turn the page of history.

Speaker 74 And by the way, if this all works, how lovely?

Speaker 76 How lovely to have a progressive Western

Speaker 103 people in there.

Speaker 41 And by the way, but we've said this about all of those places.

Speaker 82 Like, wouldn't it be nice to not have a theocracy?

Speaker 37 But

Speaker 51 see if you could get him.

Speaker 80 Where does he live?

Speaker 64 He probably lives here, right?

Speaker 18 In Los Angeles?

Speaker 111 I bet he lives here, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 68 Where does he live?

Speaker 24 London? I'm wondering.

Speaker 80 I'm wondering where that guy lives because

Speaker 76 Los Angeles has the largest population of the Iranians outside of Iran.

Speaker 18 Persians.

Speaker 65 Oh, he lives in Bethesda, Maryland.

Speaker 9 Oh, okay.

Speaker 192 So he's, it's right, CIA.

Speaker 18 Thank you.

Speaker 51 He's right. But he's involved in the government, of course.

Speaker 103 But you don't live in Bethesda, Maryland, if you're not involved.

Speaker 64 And there's nothing wrong with it. God bless him.
God love him.

Speaker 124 But that's where he lives.

Speaker 48 I mean, he's not, you know.

Speaker 101 But because his people are here.

Speaker 54 The Iranians are not in Bethesda.

Speaker 59 His people are

Speaker 96 in Beverly Hills.

Speaker 18 They're in Bel Air.

Speaker 27 They're in Westwood.

Speaker 33 That's where

Speaker 18 they are.

Speaker 77 That's why they call this place Terrangelis.

Speaker 24 Have you ever heard that term, Terrangelis?

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 102 That's because of all of the Persians.

Speaker 97 So emotions are running high here.

Speaker 93 A lot of chatter in the restaurants, chitter chatter.

Speaker 90 And that's why I stayed.

Speaker 83 I was going to go back to New York, but I wanted to hear some of the chitter chatter from the Persians.

Speaker 39 What's going on?

Speaker 98 What do we think is going to happen?

Speaker 10 Who knows?

Speaker 83 Let's see.

Speaker 10 This is kind of blurry, but it's okay. We might get an idea of it.

Speaker 203 The future is bright, and together we will pass through this sharp turn in history.

Speaker 203 In these difficult days, my heart is with all the unarmed citizens who have been harmed and have become victims of Khomeini's war-mongering and delusions.

Speaker 203 For years, I have strived to prevent our homeland from being consumed by the fire of war.

Speaker 18 Is that his crib?

Speaker 19 That might be something else.

Speaker 56 Is that him?

Speaker 18 Oh,

Speaker 18 I don't know who that was.

Speaker 134 Hi, I'm Martine Hackett, host of Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a production from Ruby Studio in partnership with Argenix.

Speaker 141 This season, we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from people living with MG and CIDP.

Speaker 145 Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone.

Speaker 150 We'll hear from people like Corbin Whittington.

Speaker 155 After being diagnosed with both CIDP and dilated cardiomyopathy, he found incredible strength through community.

Speaker 165 So when we talk community, we're talking about an entire ecosystem surrounding this condition, including, of course, the patients at the center that are all trying to live life in the moment, live life for the future, but then also create a new future.

Speaker 174 Listen to Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 175 Oh my God, trying to make progress with my finances has been a real problem.

Speaker 19 That's why I'm using Chime.

Speaker 58 Chime understands that every dollar counts.

Speaker 107 I mean, Chime is the best.

Speaker 48 The QIIME futures I love most,

Speaker 192 I love getting paid two days early with direct deposit.

Speaker 15 24-7 customer support comes in hand because sometimes I'll have a question at three in the morning about my direct deposit.

Speaker 35 It's so amazing that they can answer it then.

Speaker 194 I'm working on my financial goals through Chime today, and I suggest you do as well.

Speaker 56 Open an account in two minutes at chime.com/slash Tim.

Speaker 195 That's chime.com slash Tim.

Speaker 197 Chime feels like progress.

Speaker 8 And what is this, Tulsi?

Speaker 103 Is she warning the world about nuclear war again?

Speaker 204 Yeah, it's a statement she put out recently.

Speaker 182 Let's see, hear what she has to say.

Speaker 65 She's on the outs, though, I think, but let's see.

Speaker 205 I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago.

Speaker 205 Yet this one one bomb that caused so much destruction in Hiroshima was tiny compared to today's nuclear bombs.

Speaker 205 Because as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before,

Speaker 205 political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.

Speaker 205 Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people.

Speaker 86 Yeah, I mean, I like her, but what is this?

Speaker 98 like you know like it what

Speaker 67 it's like you're in the thing now this is what these people have to stop doing i understand that you're going against the deep state get her out of here and this is some free advice i know that she watches sometimes so i'm with you sister friend aloha

Speaker 99 But you're in the thing now.

Speaker 84 You got to start calling people out, naming names.

Speaker 127 Stop this

Speaker 127 fucking, let's stop playing footsie with the bullshit here.

Speaker 97 Who's trying to get us into the thing?

Speaker 99 Name, name.

Speaker 128 Everyone up there is tongue-tied.

Speaker 100 They got Cash Patel on Rogan going like,

Speaker 87 What is the thing here?

Speaker 101 Like,

Speaker 103 do these people have names?

Speaker 82 Can you not say them?

Speaker 81 Do these people exist?

Speaker 115 You're in it now.

Speaker 115 You're in it.

Speaker 82 If people are trying to start a nuclear war,

Speaker 118 arrest them.

Speaker 37 Tell us who they are.

Speaker 100 I know it's more complicated than this, but here's the deal.

Speaker 75 You can't have the benefit of the doubt anymore if you're in the thing.

Speaker 100 I know you go, that's a permanent government.

Speaker 66 They operate in the shadows.

Speaker 185 I know, but I cannot hear these ominous warnings from people in the fucking government.

Speaker 94 Figure it out. Stop.

Speaker 74 these people, these dark forces, these powerful factions.

Speaker 84 Stop them.

Speaker 73 It's literally what you're elected to do.

Speaker 80 It's literally what you're elected to do.

Speaker 73 And our president,

Speaker 97 baby cakes, is about to go into Iran with Israel.

Speaker 76 And hopefully that works. But like,

Speaker 122 who are these dark four?

Speaker 97 Like, can we get, shine some light on this?

Speaker 113 Because I'm just a little tired of like all of these people that got elected and they just can't say anything.

Speaker 84 They just can't speak and can't utter anything and they're all probably terrified.

Speaker 110 Maybe they'll get killed, but that's your job.

Speaker 100 if you're gonna get whacked for saying the truth you better say the truth and get whacked that's what you got elected to do you didn't get elected to write a book or to go out clubbing or whatever the hell you're all doing you didn't get elected to go on don jr's podcast you got elected to to tell us what the was going on so you either don't know what's going on and that's okay then shut up or if you know what's going on and you for whatever reason cannot tell everybody

Speaker 121 then shut up as well

Speaker 32 come to us with something

Speaker 112 you need to have something and it's starting to feel

Speaker 119 really shady

Speaker 97 and it's starting to feel like

Speaker 78 you know the more and more I think about everything and the more and more like

Speaker 81 you sit back and you you take all the facts in

Speaker 40 and there's millions of things you don't know and won't know and will die never knowing.

Speaker 93 But the things that you do know,

Speaker 100 you have to sit back and a picture begins to emerge in your head

Speaker 37 of

Speaker 82 this kind of theater that's happening.

Speaker 61 It's like a show,

Speaker 9 kind of theatrical, but it doesn't feel real.

Speaker 87 And it feels like the people in there, for whatever reason, are either unwilling,

Speaker 51 useful idiots who are being used by other people, or they're complicit in participating in whatever this is.

Speaker 35 I don't know.

Speaker 41 I'm not saying that about Tulsi.

Speaker 83 I like Tulsi, but I'm saying like when Bongino and Cash and all these people are out that are supposedly, you know, they have the keys to the kingdom and yet they don't.

Speaker 120 And what are we all supposed to do here?

Speaker 100 What are people supposed to do?

Speaker 84 Just go on vibes and like red hats are fun or

Speaker 82 I'm happy that somebody with a some some chick with a dick isn't beating the girl in the swimming race okay I'm I'm happy about that but when you come out and say there's forces pushing for nuclear what name them who are what are we doing

Speaker 100 we this is what you people were kind of elected to do no

Speaker 97 I mean so

Speaker 64 I'm like,

Speaker 76 if Tucker Carlson's working harder than the people that are in the White House to bring peace, if Tucker is doing the unofficial job of outing people that are calling for war and doing all this stuff, whether you agree with Tucker or not, at the end of the day, he wasn't elected to do that.

Speaker 192 The people in office were elected to do it.

Speaker 100 So if they're not going to do it, or if they can't do it, or if they're waiting to do it, whatever, I don't know.

Speaker 113 Again, I'm an outsider, you know, but don't come out and deliver ominous messages like the world is closer to annihilation than it's ever been people are stoking fear stop them stop them

Speaker 73 i mean there was election in america because people didn't want that people didn't want to go in that direction that was a big reason the election happened it's the craziest thing ever

Speaker 62 We're close to annihilation because there's people that are stoking fears and pushing nuclear power to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stop that.

Speaker 100 You were elected to stop that.

Speaker 100 Or tell us who they are and go, this fucker is saying this, and we don't like this person now.

Speaker 97 Do I sound insane?

Speaker 99 I mean, you're listening.

Speaker 71 You're there. Do I sound crazy?

Speaker 64 No.

Speaker 121 I just don't understand.

Speaker 39 All these ominous messages from inside the castle.

Speaker 76 Tell us what's a...

Speaker 110 Flash us a hand signal.

Speaker 122 What's going on?

Speaker 80 Are you all captive?

Speaker 64 What the hell's going on?

Speaker 18 I mean,

Speaker 80 throw us a signal here. We're on the verge of war with Iran.

Speaker 110 What the fuck is happening?

Speaker 64 You people were elected to clean this shit up.

Speaker 122 I don't understand.

Speaker 110 The Ukraine and Russia are still blowing the shit out of each other.

Speaker 80 China's about to swallow Taiwan.

Speaker 18 I mean,

Speaker 73 somebody,

Speaker 115 I don't understand any of it.

Speaker 18 And I like Tulsi Gabbard a lot.

Speaker 122 I think she's a, I don't know her, but I've always gotten a good vibe and feeling from her.

Speaker 26 My mother spent time in Hawaii.

Speaker 110 I've never really spent time.

Speaker 97 I don't love fat Asians.

Speaker 66 I just don't like that.

Speaker 32 But

Speaker 19 it confuses me.

Speaker 84 It messes with my

Speaker 98 senses of what is and isn't, you know, real and what's AI and what's not.

Speaker 64 But I'd like to go.

Speaker 100 What I'm saying here is pretty simple and it goes for everyone that's working in that administration.

Speaker 82 If you have nothing to say, don't say anything.

Speaker 100 These interviews they're all doing where they all come out and they're like, they're speaking in a code or they're

Speaker 82 like, well, if I knew, then you'd know.

Speaker 109 And if I had it, then you'd have it.

Speaker 70 And we're close to nuclear annihilation.

Speaker 18 And guys, all of this stuff, whatever it is, maybe you're all hostages.

Speaker 82 You don't know anything. I don't know.
I don't care.

Speaker 90 Just stop.

Speaker 41 This is Ted Cruz and Tucker.

Speaker 200 Play this clip.

Speaker 94 I think it is a funny clip.

Speaker 206 So I've never taken money from the Israel lobby. Have you?

Speaker 206 Taken money from the Israel lobby? APAC. So AIPAC raises a lot of money for me, but it's actually a misnomer because the people who raise money are individuals.

Speaker 206 So it's not the PAC itself, but they're individual members who believe in the American-Israeli

Speaker 206 friendship and relationship. Is it a PAC a foreign lobby?

Speaker 206 No, it's an American lobby. APAC stands for the America-Israeli Political Action Committee.
What does it lobby for? So, to be honest, not a whole lot effectively. Listen,

Speaker 206 I came into Congress 13 years ago with the stated intention of being the leading defender of Israel in the United States Senate. And I've worked every day to do that.
AIPAC, a lot of times,

Speaker 206 AIPAC, I wish, were much more effective.

Speaker 125 Like, they're fighting

Speaker 125 the fear.

Speaker 18 All right, all right, we get it, we get get it, we got it, we got it.

Speaker 76 Again, I'm not one of these people where it's like the Jews control the weather because we see all of that now coming out on social media.

Speaker 103 There's been a rapid, you know, rise

Speaker 54 in anti-Semitism.

Speaker 67 And I'm not one of these people, but it is obviously fair game to criticize AIPAC's influence in America or Israel's influence.

Speaker 33 Here's the big problem in America right now.

Speaker 3 We have people in this country that are too racist, too homophobic, too anti-Semitic.

Speaker 83 And then we have people that are not racist, not homophobic, and not anti-Semitic enough.

Speaker 40 And I and I'm constantly on this seesaw oscillating.

Speaker 100 And the difficulties are they just pile up.

Speaker 120 But

Speaker 45 if you want to prevent political extremism, which is my goal, I don't want to live in a country of psychopaths that are frothing at the mouth that are trying to kill everybody all the time.

Speaker 81 You have to not

Speaker 37 allow

Speaker 177 these spaces for

Speaker 10 know,

Speaker 30 all of this like

Speaker 103 craziness to originate from.

Speaker 66 And these spaces are

Speaker 207 these like ill-defined relationships that certain groups have with the way our government functions, be the APAC or whoever, or the Chinese Communist Party in Silicon Valley or with Elon, or any of that stuff, right?

Speaker 87 There are all these relate, and Qatar, I mean, the free press wrote a whole thing about Qatar.

Speaker 18 I found it to be a little amusing amusing that the whole country is being run by Qatar, a bit hilarious.

Speaker 32 But

Speaker 41 the plane and all that stuff and building hotels in the Middle East, that also seems very shady.

Speaker 92 So when you don't have a full understanding of what these relationships are between these entities and political leaders in our countries, everyone's going to assume the worst.

Speaker 87 And they're not necessarily wrong to assume the worst because it seems like a very corrupt landscape out there where people are influencing things and we're all just realizing that everybody hates democracy everyone on the far left on the far right all of these people are doing all that they can all the time to subvert democracy

Speaker 67 when you have riots in the streets and people burning cars and using violence and things like that they and i'm not i'm not pro-ice rate i'm saying that is a tactic that is supposed to intimidate people, and it's a tactic that's supposed to be the workaround for democracy.

Speaker 10 If you're going to come into a country with deep pockets and hand out money to every representative, that's a workaround

Speaker 9 around democracy, around what people voted for and what they wanted.

Speaker 123 So

Speaker 26 I know we have a close relationship with Israel.

Speaker 41 That's great.

Speaker 180 I don't have any issue with...

Speaker 93 having an ally and having a close relationship, but if Britain was doing what Israel did in Gaza for the last two years, I I would call into question that relationship and I'd say, does it make sense for the United States to fund that behavior?

Speaker 41 Is this a good use of our money or time?

Speaker 41 Does this make any sense?

Speaker 70 Is this going to be good when we open the doors up to immigrants from the Middle East whose families we've paid to have killed?

Speaker 61 And then they come in here and perhaps justifiably want to commit acts of terrorism.

Speaker 41 Does that make any sense to anyone?

Speaker 76 Or do we hope they've all forgiven us by the time we're settling, resettling them here?

Speaker 85 Perhaps they will have forgiven us.

Speaker 115 Maybe the food on the plane was good and they've forgiven us.

Speaker 79 I don't know.

Speaker 77 But this is how we do it.

Speaker 73 We blow everybody up and then open the doors and say, come on here and go live in the hotel.

Speaker 41 And hopefully everybody's happy and we bygones.

Speaker 51 We all forgot about that, right?

Speaker 84 That whole thing, we forgot about that.

Speaker 47 We're all good now.

Speaker 6 Have you seen the M store we're all good seems like an insane way to run a country seems like it completely seems completely insane

Speaker 141 hi i'm martine hackett host of untold stories life with a severe autoimmune condition a production from ruby studio in partnership with argenix this season we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from people living with mg and cidp Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone.

Speaker 114 What's going on with this woman in Minnesota who got shot?

Speaker 87 I don't, I've read this.

Speaker 55 I don't, I don't get it.

Speaker 51 I'm unhappy about it.

Speaker 47 I don't want anybody getting shot.

Speaker 51 Have I been clear about that?

Speaker 79 I don't like it.

Speaker 26 And I don't even, I'm not even in love with Minnesota.

Speaker 37 Now,

Speaker 77 This guy dressed as a police officer.

Speaker 45 Get a news story up about this just so that people can understand understand the context here, because this is a very disturbing story.

Speaker 100 This poor woman is killed because she voted, and then get her up too, because she said she voted with the Republicans on a bill in Minnesota that would prevent aid to illegal immigrants.

Speaker 18 I believe.

Speaker 73 Let's get her up talking about that

Speaker 82 because that will, that's supposedly the motive for this.

Speaker 69 And it's unfortunate.

Speaker 66 Here she is.

Speaker 129 I don't know. What's her name?

Speaker 18 Melissa Hortman. Melissa Hortman, everyone.

Speaker 209 I know that people will be hurt by that vote.

Speaker 94 And I'm.

Speaker 210 We worked very hard to try to get a budget deal

Speaker 210 that wouldn't include that provision.

Speaker 88 DFL Speaker Emerita, Melissa Hortman, emotional following the House's adjournment from a special session Monday.

Speaker 88 Hortman was the lone DFL lawmaker to cast a vote to cut Minnesota care access for undocumented immigrants. It's a move she made with a heavy heart.

Speaker 210 I did what leaders do, I've stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota.

Speaker 88 The bill was deeply unpopular with members of the DFL caucus.

Speaker 88 Members have repeatedly expressed frustration that the bill was part of a compromise, one that would ensure the necessary GOP votes to pass the rest of the state budget.

Speaker 211 We are tremendously disappointed and gut-wrenched at this decision, at this compromise that compromises our communities that are most vulnerable.

Speaker 88 Bortman knows she let down her own caucus members with the vote.

Speaker 210 They're right to be mad at me. I think some of them are pretty angry.
I think that their job was to make folks who voted for that bill feel like crap, and I think that they succeeded.

Speaker 88 Over in the Senate, a similar situation unfolded. Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy forced to vote for a bill she too disagreed with to uphold the integrity of their compromise.

Speaker 212 This one hurt.

Speaker 210 This one is a wound because of its reason.

Speaker 210 My colleagues across the aisle set this as their number one priority.

Speaker 88 Asked whether the move would drive a wedge between her and I mean, all right, all right.

Speaker 93 You know, so let's just for a minute here.

Speaker 33 I don't know the bill.

Speaker 207 What I do find interesting about what animates

Speaker 53 people right now is that

Speaker 175 it's so clear to me and and it's obvious that

Speaker 16 when you have a

Speaker 108 issue like this

Speaker 60 that is contentious and people are angry on both sides.

Speaker 102 There's a lot of people that feel, as I do, that illegal immigrants are given preferential treatment over citizens when it comes to things like housing, food vouchers, getting cell phones, getting money.

Speaker 9 This is all absolutely true. In cities like New York, people are housed.

Speaker 10 And

Speaker 63 it's compassionate, but it also comes at the expense of the American taxpayer to give preferential treatment to people that are not here legally, that may be here, you know, coming from another, fleeing a bad situation, or maybe just it's economic migration that they come in here.

Speaker 10 And you want to give people

Speaker 55 care and you want to help people, but you also don't want to prioritize

Speaker 103 that over America.

Speaker 90 You know, the deal with taxes was always you'll pay more taxes so that

Speaker 3 citizens who live in your country can have better lives or can have access to more opportunities.

Speaker 35 That includes immigrants that came here legally and some of them that came here illegally who are now legal.

Speaker 51 I think if you open that door and say that

Speaker 207 the primary recipient of taxpayer benefits, or not the primary recipient per se by the numbers, but the ones that we're talking about are only undocumented illegal immigrants.

Speaker 27 That's the main concern.

Speaker 27 I think a lot of people, myself included, are going to question that.

Speaker 67 I don't think that makes a ton of sense.

Speaker 108 Where is the energy for American citizens that are struggling?

Speaker 45 Where is the Democratic Party's energy for American citizens in

Speaker 23 the people who do not have health care, the people who do not, that cannot retire, that cannot send their kids to school, that cannot afford a house.

Speaker 57 Where is the energy for that?

Speaker 65 There doesn't seem to be as much energy for that.

Speaker 55 These NGO protest groups aren't in the streets for that.

Speaker 55 They only seem to be in the streets for the rights of people who are in the country illegally.

Speaker 99 Now, whatever you think about that issue, whatever your passion level is on that issue, it is curious that none of these groups have any passion for domestic issues outside of

Speaker 73 funding for illegal immigrants.

Speaker 93 A lot of these Soros-funded NGOs,

Speaker 15 they just had a big wedding in the Hamptons, Huma Abaddon and the Soros kid, which, by the way, where's the invite?

Speaker 84 Would have gone.

Speaker 118 Literally would have gone.

Speaker 57 A lot of these NGOs are in the streets for that reason.

Speaker 115 They're in the streets

Speaker 102 over,

Speaker 81 you know, police brutality.

Speaker 122 But again, it's always, you know,

Speaker 100 kind of a very like,

Speaker 76 none of it's a coherent ideology.

Speaker 188 And I know that's not what protests are supposed to be.

Speaker 119 I get it, but it is weird. I'm like.

Speaker 39 Where is that level of passion for American workers?

Speaker 68 And I guess it doesn't exist because everything's been racialized to the point where

Speaker 41 it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 93 These are also states like Minnesota that were going to ration care based on race.

Speaker 70 They were going during COVID.

Speaker 103 I've never, you know, this is like,

Speaker 82 this is like white guilt to a level now of beyond self-parity.

Speaker 3 It's somewhat ridiculous.

Speaker 67 We're going to start rationing care based on race.

Speaker 45 That was something that people in Minnesota considered.

Speaker 84 There's something wrong with those people up there.

Speaker 3 They don't get enough sun.

Speaker 41 They hate themselves on a level that it's unimaginable. They just like, you know, white self-hatred.

Speaker 84 I get it. Whatever.

Speaker 65 And there's a tradition of radicalism up there and everything like that.

Speaker 33 Great.

Speaker 18 Great.

Speaker 45 I just think if the Democratic Party wants to win another election, they have to at least pretend to care about.

Speaker 74 people that are legally in the country in addition to I'm not saying don't care about illegal immigrants, but reserve a fraction of the passion, a little bit, for people that have lived here legally.

Speaker 134 Hi, I'm Martine Hackett, host of Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a production from Ruby Studio in partnership with Argenix.

Speaker 141 This season, we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from people living with MG and CIDP.

Speaker 145 Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone.

Speaker 150 We'll hear from people like Corbin Whittington.

Speaker 155 After being diagnosed with both CIDP and dilated cardiomyopathy, he found incredible strength through community.

Speaker 166 So when we talk community, we're talking about an entire ecosystem surrounding this condition, including, of course, the patients at the center that are all trying to live life in the moment, live life for the future, but then also create a new future.

Speaker 174 Listen to Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 175 Oh my God, trying to make progress with my finances has been a real problem.

Speaker 70 well they don't know if the motive We don't know what the motive is.

Speaker 204 Yeah, there's no clear motive yet.

Speaker 34 We don't know.

Speaker 55 There's no clear motive, but apparently...

Speaker 121 Now, what is this?

Speaker 204 This is a news story about him. It just opens up with...

Speaker 85 All right, let's watch this.

Speaker 206 Excited?

Speaker 201 I want to dance.

Speaker 209 A stunning video of the accused assassin dancing. 57-year-old Lance Belter is preaching at a church in the Congo.

Speaker 209 A rousing sermon that couldn't be farther removed from the hatred police say fueled his shocking murder spree.

Speaker 209 This video has also surfaced of Belter claiming to work with law enforcement with a specialty in removing bodies from crime scenes.

Speaker 213 We're working with a lot of police officers and death investigators at the location where a decedent is found. Could be a crime scene or just a natural death.

Speaker 209 Belter is charged with the murder of state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark and the attempted murder of state senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

Speaker 209 We're learning chilling new details of these shootings. The attempt to assassinate the Hoffmans was caught on home security video.
A federal prosecutor said that video was the stuff of nightmares.

Speaker 209 He said the suspect pretended to be a cop and banged on the door, shining a flashlight on them. The senator opened the front door and quickly realized this was no cop.

Speaker 214 When Senator Hoffman attempted to push Belter out and stop him from entering his home, Belter shot him repeatedly. Belter then shot Ms.
Hoffman repeatedly.

Speaker 214 Belter fled the scene and the Hoffmans' daughter called 911.

Speaker 209 Their 28-year-old daughter's life was saved by her heroic mom, who shielded her with her body. An hour later, cops almost captured Belter as he was about to murder the Hortmans.

Speaker 214 When Belter saw the officers get out of the car,

Speaker 214 he drew his weapon and began firing. He rushed into the house.
through the front door, and when he entered, he murdered Representative Hortman and her husband, Mark.

Speaker 125 The shooter is still in in the house, they believe barricaded with the firearm.

Speaker 209 Before escaping, he shot and wounded the Hortman's dog, Gilbert, who had to be euthanized. Gilbert.

Speaker 209 Police say this image shows Belter dressed as a police officer and wearing a hyper-realistic latex Halloween mask. Here's what the mask looks like in the light of day when we tried it on.

Speaker 18 Why are you doing it?

Speaker 51 Cops recovered weapons.

Speaker 9 Inside edition.

Speaker 192 Stop that for a minute.

Speaker 35 Inside edition.

Speaker 18 What are we doing? Show that again.

Speaker 9 Inside edition, why are we doing this?

Speaker 193 I mean, inside edition,

Speaker 26 I expect more. I actually don't.

Speaker 70 Get the roommate up.

Speaker 23 Get his roommate who's like, that guy was a Trump supporter.

Speaker 77 Again, just to put all this together, I don't know anything about it.

Speaker 180 Neither do you.

Speaker 182 Let's see what this guy has to say.

Speaker 215 Talk about his politics a little bit. I know that you had some discussions on Trump rapidly.
Well, it's.

Speaker 215 well everyone's calling him a democrat he's not a democrat

Speaker 125 he would be offended if people called him a democrat

Speaker 216 because of this uh forward thing he was on for for governor walls he wasn't to serve he wasn't he was just serving the community

Speaker 215 but uh

Speaker 203 he uh you know he was

Speaker 203 what was a man i can't believe a political issue would cause him to do such thing.

Speaker 7 Did he ever bring up the senator or the representative who were targeted?

Speaker 215 Like I say, no, he never talked about that.

Speaker 125 I didn't know.

Speaker 125 I didn't recognize it.

Speaker 7 Any politicians he mentioned?

Speaker 215 Oh, gee, mention Nancy Carolson. He didn't like Jim Walls.

Speaker 215 Tim Walsh. They didn't like Jim Biden.

Speaker 215 Tim Walls? What would you say about him?

Speaker 215 Well, I mean,

Speaker 215 nothing fruit. I mean, it's just normal.

Speaker 215 Oh, I don't like this, that Tim all did this.

Speaker 125 I don't like that he did that.

Speaker 7 Did you mention the protests at work?

Speaker 198 He might have snapped.

Speaker 17 We don't know.

Speaker 14 You know, all these guys have weird links to like some fucking defense group or some shitties in the Congo doing.

Speaker 13 It's just weird life.

Speaker 8 It's a weird life to be in the Congo in a church screaming and yelling in Africa.

Speaker 6 But I don't know.

Speaker 93 I'm withholding judgment.

Speaker 12 I'm not going to say that everything is

Speaker 37 an op or whatever.

Speaker 70 I don't know what it is.

Speaker 130 I'm hoping that

Speaker 124 he's killed, right? They killed him?

Speaker 204 No, I think they took him into custody.

Speaker 18 Interesting.

Speaker 18 Interesting.

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 204 Yeah, they found him in a manhunt. He's in custody.

Speaker 53 Right. I remember that.

Speaker 70 So, I don't know.

Speaker 93 Is his manifesto out?

Speaker 204 I don't think, let me check. I don't think so.
That was a big thing they were talking about.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I want that manifesto.

Speaker 3 Pretty soon in this country, going to go into a bookstore, it'll all be a manifesto.

Speaker 181 So there'll be nothing left.

Speaker 67 People don't have consistent politics, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything that he was a Trump supporter and then he just shot this chick.

Speaker 24 Like, who knows?

Speaker 129 I don't know.

Speaker 207 I don't think they're going to release his manifesto.

Speaker 3 You know, they don't release these things.

Speaker 45 And this is

Speaker 55 a very important

Speaker 13 thing, obviously, to figure out why this guy did this and what his motive was.

Speaker 22 So,

Speaker 204 yeah, I don't think they have a manifesto.

Speaker 33 No, they're not going to have a manifesto.

Speaker 30 Can I just proffer a guess?

Speaker 96 And actually,

Speaker 25 I actually think

Speaker 104 that there's a very good chance he was working for Iran.

Speaker 35 They probably have sales in Minnesota, and he was most likely in one of them.

Speaker 24 That's just a general gut feeling I have.

Speaker 48 I'm not going to show people the evidence or how I've worked it out.

Speaker 41 I'm not going to show the work, as it would say in school, show the work, show the work.

Speaker 12 Did you cheat?

Speaker 193 No, show how you got the answer.

Speaker 71 I don't feel the pressure to do that.

Speaker 48 I think it makes sense, most likely, that he was with Iran.

Speaker 70 And hey,

Speaker 70 if you're going to kill our representatives for Iran, then you're out, buddy.

Speaker 3 And it's just one of those things.

Speaker 207 TimDylanComedy.com.

Speaker 22 We do have shows on sale right now for the fall.

Speaker 11 If you want to go there, TimDylanComedy.com.

Speaker 179 We're going to, it might not be up yet, but let's see if it is.

Speaker 18 It'll be up.

Speaker 10 It'll be up sooner rather than later.

Speaker 70 Is it up now?

Speaker 123 Let's see.

Speaker 101 Yes.

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 29 Columbus, Ohio, Oklahoma City, Phoenix,

Speaker 175 Fort Lauderdale, Schaumburg, Illinois, which is Chicago essentially, San Jose.

Speaker 78 And there'll be some other ones, but those are some

Speaker 8 places you can see me this fall trying to put together some fun new material.

Speaker 6 And,

Speaker 65 you know, we're very excited about the war with Iran.

Speaker 10 I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Speaker 35 I hope I figure out when it is because I am pissed.

Speaker 207 Did that guy from that studio get back to you?

Speaker 182 Was he pissed?

Speaker 192 No, he was cool about it. Good.

Speaker 94 Good.

Speaker 63 But what are you going to do here, you know, when we get into it?

Speaker 26 Not if when, let's be serious.

Speaker 93 The diploma. It's the funniest thing in the world.

Speaker 36 We're being diplomatic.

Speaker 9 You've got like a light on your head.

Speaker 112 You'll get a red light on your head it's like now

Speaker 102 it's a good faith negotiation where we spend it trying to kill you but it's good faith it's about the nuclear program but you gotta die

Speaker 100 it's about the nuclear program but you gotta get your head blown off

Speaker 100 And then Tulsi Gapper's like, well, there's all these forces.

Speaker 122 It's like, yeah, they're on the news.

Speaker 80 We know they are.

Speaker 18 It's like, there's a lot of forces that are, they're just, they're ratcheting up tensions all over the globe.

Speaker 66 Yo, who's doing that?

Speaker 82 Trump does not have a clear opinion on this.

Speaker 103 He's all over the place.

Speaker 41 The messaging of the administration's but all over the place, they were probably caught off guard by this.

Speaker 68 I can't say for sure, but that would have been my guess.

Speaker 49 You know, and then I think Trump felt like he was getting manhandled a little bit by Netanyahu.

Speaker 65 And then I think he said, let me chill out.

Speaker 25 I'm going to take a few weeks.

Speaker 96 I'm not going to get involved right away.

Speaker 93 And if he does get involved, I think he wants a clear kill shot immediately.

Speaker 3 Like Trump wants to go in quick, shocking awe, and then out.

Speaker 24 Now, will that work?

Speaker 51 Who knows? Probably not.

Speaker 113 Never has, really.

Speaker 118 But hey,

Speaker 79 what are you going to do?

Speaker 86 Like, at the end of the day, it's like, you're just living, living in America.

Speaker 51 And you just got to get into it, folks. Get into it.
Get that.

Speaker 18 I kind of got war fever a little bit.

Speaker 51 As I was driving to Vegas, I was kind of like, let's do it.

Speaker 120 Living in America.

Speaker 64 I was like, why not?

Speaker 70 We're doing it. I love that

Speaker 8 song. Patricia Neal had a great bit about that on ONA about that.
It's just such an American song.

Speaker 41 We hope everyone stays safe. We hope cooler heads prevail.

Speaker 65 It doesn't seem like they will.

Speaker 177 But I wish you all the best in all of your negotiations.

Speaker 122 In all of the negotiating and the negotiations that are the main thing.

Speaker 76 I wish everyone the best in their totally in good faith negotiations that aren't a ruse while we lure in battleships to further attack Iran.

Speaker 30 All the best.
