  Yo, what up, guys? I hope, I hope we are live. Let me just check, make sure we're all right. Ceasefire just announced, two weeks. We'll see how long that lasts. Says we're Gucci. It says excellent. Does that mean good? Last time I checked, it does. Here we are. All right. I just sent out the link to the boys, so they should be trickling in at some point. It's gonna be a lot more fluid, like we won't just have like a straight up show, like one hour, uh, pod, or it'll just be people coming in and out and stuff like that, so we might not even have the full crew, whatever. We're just gonna be, we're gonna have fun. We're gonna be cute and fun. What's up, guys? What's up? How are you guys?

• 1:42Speaker 02

  Um, I'm trying to see. How's it look? How does it sound? Talk to me. Talk to me. Shoot this over to... Yeah, looks like, uh, the Pakistanis were, um, in it. They were doing like a lot of the mediating and stuff. Uh, grace period, sounds clear, sounds good, but good, awesome, good. Love to hear it. Love to hear it.

• 2:11Speaker 02

  Nice. Maybe if he's doing a speech at eight, maybe they'll watch that and goof and gaffe on it. I mean, you saw that like there was like the last few hours, people were all over Twitter saying that, you know, they're working on a late two week ceasefire through the Pakistanis and all this. So you kind of like the writing was kind of on the wall. And once Axios starts reporting it, you know, it's like, all right, yeah, the White House's stenographers are reporting, reporting what they want to say. Yeah. So we'll see where this goes. Oh yeah. In the last few hours, you saw like a real big uptick of like bombing in Tehran and stuff like that. So it was kind

• 2:48Speaker 02

  of they were trying to get it in before they called the ceasefire. Let me see. Mark P's coming. All right. Enough, enough chatting in the signal chat.

• 2:57Speaker 02

  Our signal chat is a wild one. I'll be honest.

• 3:02Speaker 02

  Well, I think Israel was like the IDF was really pounding Tehran as well. Uh, pretty tough, pretty hard over the last few hours as well. Cause I think they saw the writing was on the wall. I did also see that like somewhere, it was like one tweet. So I don't know if I believe it until like a bunch of people are starting to talk about it. Like, uh, that Lebanon was also part of this, which I don't believe.

• 3:27Speaker 02

  I don't believe because my guess is Israel was probably pushing for these guys to, uh, not do the ceasefire. What are we doing here? Oh, so annoying. Can't even sign into X, bro. All right, whatever. What do you guys think? You guys think it's going to, uh, last? Also, like what comes after, right? Like, what does it even look like? Like an actual lasting kind of peace? Feel like it's not going to be.

• 3:54Speaker 02

  The jizz is out of the tube, as they say in the business, you know, it's out and you can't get it back in. I wonder what Israel thinks about this. Do they want to stop? I think Israel definitely doesn't want to stop. I think they want to keep going for as long as they could possibly go. Um.

• 4:09Speaker 02

  Oh, hell yeah. We got Jason lines.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  Yo, what's up, bro? We're live, just FYI.

• 4:18Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 4:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, let me turn on your echo. Okay. Oh, I can't. We're recording. It's okay.

• 4:24Speaker 03

  Oh, can I do it?

• 4:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, if you can, because I seen a little bit of an echo. Now it's actually gone. I mean, who knows? It comes and goes.

• 4:30Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, it's not even letting me do it.

• 4:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, don't sweat. Yeah, I think it's because we're already live.

• 4:35Speaker 03

  Got you.

• 4:37Speaker 02

  Where are my 54 people watching? Yo, smash that like button, guys. Smash it.

• 4:44Speaker 02

  They say that in the biz, too.

• 4:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:46Speaker 02

  And share this, share this stream, too. Tell your, tell your friends.

• 4:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, this one's gonna be a little bit more, uh, like, fluid, like, you know, people are gonna jump in, jump out, I feel like.

• 4:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, I can only stay for maybe an hour or so.

• 5:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're good.

• 5:07Speaker 03

  It's been a minute.

• 5:09Speaker 02

  I know, bro. What's up?

• 5:11Speaker 03

  Nah, same old. Work, family, getting ready for this wedding.

• 5:16Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. Excited?

• 5:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's not like I haven't done this dance before, but

• 5:24Speaker 02

  Right.

• 5:25Speaker 03

  This is it. I'm done.

• 5:27Speaker 02

  Last one.

• 5:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:32Speaker 03

  How about you, man? How you been?

• 5:34Speaker 02

  Chilling, bro. I'm hanging. I'm looking at the chat. That's why I'm staring.

• 5:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, no. It's, uh, of course, this hits right now.

• 5:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, it was, they were kind of like, like, whatever, watering the soil a little bit because, uh, for the last few hours, saying, you know, it looks like there might be a two-week ceasefire through the Pakistanis and stuff like that.

• 5:56Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 5:57Speaker 02

  I mean, who knows? I think Trump, I mean, Trump fucking lost it this morning. I mean, he's lost it for a while now, but, uh, with the whole, like, we're gonna wipe out a civilization stuff.

• 6:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, just insane. Absolutely nuts.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, my kids were texting me like screenshots of that and uh you know they're like is he being serious are we talking nuclear weapons I was like well let's calm down but then again how do we put anything past them?

• 6:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean it's uh it's just a wild he's just a frickin wild card dude and I read that you should read that New York Times article about like the decision making leading up to it like yeah Netanyahu rolled up at like on like early early February like February 11th with like him the head of Mossad and a bunch of other people and they basically pitched like it was fucking Shark Tank yeah uh hitting hitting around like going hard at Iran yeah and what was it decapitation strike take out all the leadership missiles and drones and then it was uh like stoke some kind of resistance and stuff like that and then regime change

• 7:16Speaker 02

  it's like bro yeah I want to be six foot four and have like a nine inch hammer you know what I mean like it's never gonna happen

• 7:24Speaker 03

  Exactly yeah it never happens the way it's oh it's pitched yeah ever yeah

• 7:32Speaker 02

  It's just incredible and also the other the way it read too like they were in the situation talking about this just without the Israelis just them and how uh no one has the balls to tell this guy like no this is a fucking terrible idea and it's gonna backfire like they think that like the Iranians is just gonna turtle like after they after we smoke even if we just smoked the Ayatollah yeah right like forget the 40 or 50 guys that we killed they should be like oh we're sorry like yeah we love democracy now like we love When they played Trump of the Israelis played Trump a video like a trailer or I guess like a hype video about who could really lead Iran after and like they put the Shah son in there. They put all like,

• 8:16Speaker 02

  oh, it's gonna be a secular democracy. Like, are we, are we, are we serious here? Just have we not heard this story before?

• 8:23Speaker 03

  It's like an episode of The Bachelor, for God's sake.

• 8:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 8:27Speaker 03

  He's forty three and lives on the Riviera. He'd be a great.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. Be on top of this Taco Tuesday. T hat's funny. Trump always chickens out Tuesday. I mean, I get that statement about taco, like Trump always chickens out, but it's like, the guy fucking has been bombing the shit out of Tehran and like, you know, basically throwing dynamite into like the global economy for the last three weeks. So, or month.

• 8:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think in my opinion that he, yes, he does taco, but I think it depends on what it is and it depends on who's like whispering in his ear. If it's, you know, um, you're doing great. This is awesome, which it seems like his entire cabinet does. Um, and it makes him look tough. He's gonna keep doing it, you know? Um, all the way up to the, the brink and uh, I think it would also take reverse psychology to get him to stop, you know, like, um, you've, you've accomplished what you want, you know, you've, you've done it. You've done a great service for the Iranian people and that would get him to stop, you know, more, less than,

• 9:39Speaker 03

  um, this is screwed up. We have no plan here, you know?

• 9:44Speaker 02

  It's funny, reverse psychology like he's a, like he's a toddler.

• 9:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  He's got the nuclear codes.

• 9:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:52Speaker 02

  Milburn. Andy, what's up, dude? We're live, just FYI.

• 9:57Speaker 03

  Andy.

• 9:58Speaker 02

  Oh, cool. Okay. So no, so no, no berating, uh, no berating the US Navy and the aircraft carriers.

• 10:08Speaker 02

  Actually, you'll do that on the show.

• 10:09Speaker 04

  I was gonna say, does it really matter?

• 10:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. So, what am I talking about?

• 10:14Speaker 04

  We're doing a quick summary of what we know?

• 10:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, sure. We talked about it a little bit, like ceasefire for two weeks. Does there any like details in terms of what's in the ceasefire? Is the straight open up? Like what?

• 10:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, the straight was a central point. My understanding was that for what, whatever that means, I mean, obviously what it means is the Iranians have agreed not to disrupt shipping or not to threaten shipping anymore.

• 10:43Speaker 04

  And Vance is gonna lead negotiations is what the Axios article says, which is a definite improvement, I think, right from Whitaker for the

• 10:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 10:58Speaker 04

  The two who got us into this, into this mess. Netanyahu's not happy.

• 11:06Speaker 04

  Lindsey Graham's probably not happy. They were, they wanted to hold out.

• 11:12Speaker 04

  The president's declaring victory based on military objectives already achieved. I've gone from being pessimistic to optimistic, maybe because it's two o'clock in the morning here.

• 11:23Speaker 02

  Man, you're still up?

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Yeah. Well, I was up because the water was cut off, I think, in anticipation of World War III. And I'm hoping now there's a ceasefire, they'll turn it on.

• 11:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:37Speaker 02

  Take a shower.

• 11:38Speaker 04

  It's like I'm thirsty, goddamn it. Yeah, you know, I'm a marine, shower three or four times a day.

• 11:46Speaker 04

  I can't go to sleep, Scuzzy.

• 11:50Speaker 04

  Oh, what, so what happened in the, someone was saying that Tehran was getting, that the United States was striking Tehran?

• 11:59Speaker 02

  I think the IDF and, and us, we were pounding them the last few hours because I think the ceasefire was on the, on the cards.

• 12:07Speaker 04

  Yeah. Okay.

• 12:09Speaker 02

  Oh, Shucks says if Graham and Bibi are upset, then that's a, that's a good thing for America and the world. I agree with you.

• 12:15Speaker 04

  Who said that?

• 12:16Speaker 02

  One of the chatters in the chat.

• 12:20Speaker 02

  Because we're live.

• 12:21Speaker 04

  Right, okay.

• 12:22Speaker 02

  Yeah. If Graham and Bibi are upset, it's probably a good thing for America and the world.

• 12:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, I think so. I think, you know, Lindsey Graham.

• 12:31Speaker 02

  John, what's up, bro?

• 12:32Speaker 04

  Hey.

• 12:32Speaker 02

  We're live, we're live, just FYI.

• 12:34Speaker 04

  Right now, alright.

• 12:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, thank God.

• 12:37Speaker 04

  And you know, everyone thought that the Pakistanis didn't have any leverage with anyone, but they were the mediators of this. Not Erdogan, not, you know. So, um, kudos to them, huh?

• 12:50Speaker 05

  They are a nuclear armed country, so they do have that over the other options that were in there.

• 12:54Speaker 04

  That is true. Yeah. What was the name of that guy? Who was the father of their nuclear program?

• 13:01Speaker 05

  AQ Khan.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  Khan, AQ Khan.

• 13:03Speaker 04

  AQ, yeah. That's quite a story, isn't it?

• 13:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:08Speaker 04

  He's a, uh, he's a national hero there, and you know? I cannot blame the Pakistanis for making him a national hero. Because it certainly changes the dynamics, doesn't it? Once you're a nuclear power. Just ask King Jong.

• 13:27Speaker 05

  Yeah, I've got the Samson option right here, which is actually the story about how Israel got the bomb through AQ Khan.

• 13:33Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 13:33Speaker 05

  In, in, in contrast to that, yeah.

• 13:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:39Speaker 04

  Love to read that.

• 13:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, they didn't get it from.

• 13:42Speaker 02

  We actually had it.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  We actually had, um, Jim, Jim Lawler, former CIA guy, who was like, big into the, you know, played a big hand in taking down that network. I mean, but they still got the bomb, right? So it's not like.

• 13:59Speaker 05

  Yeah. And actually their centrifuge, the, the, the, the level one centrifuge they had, and I think it was 1988 or 89, is the base model that Iran used in their centrifuges. And now Iran's like seven generations beyond that first generation that they got from Pakistan.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  Three Marines, someone said. I know. Well, no, yeah, three Marines, yeah.

• 14:21Speaker 04

  What? Three Marines, what?

• 14:23Speaker 02

  Somebody said that in the chat with an exclamation point, very excited.

• 14:28Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 14:29Speaker 02

  I don't know if Murphy's gonna join us, he's big time now, after his viral tweet.

• 14:33Speaker 04

  So I'm getting skepticism from my Israeli friends.

• 14:38Speaker 04

  And yes, I still have Israeli friends after writing that article. Uh sirens are going in Tel Aviv now. I mean, like right now. Um, of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they're being hit. Maybe it was just a ceasefire with the United States. Maybe we do a dirty on yet another.

• 14:59Speaker 02

  Don't worry about them. Just.

• 15:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, don't. Yeah, don't tell the Israelis that Bibi's not happy anyway.

• 15:06Speaker 04

  I'm not laughing.

• 15:08Speaker 02

  Is it the ceasefire starts right now, like right?

• 15:11Speaker 04

  That would be just like us. That would be 4D chess.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  So the ceasefire is like right. It's happened immediately. Right?

• 15:22Speaker 04

  Mm hmm.

• 15:24Speaker 04

  Yeah, look at the markets already. The futures are shooting up. Oil is uh. Oil is down, down.

• 15:32Speaker 04

  You know, you know, a lot of people in the know made money on this, right?

• 15:36Speaker 02

  Of course. Barack Ravi just tweeted, unit, unit 8200 news, a senior White House official tells me Israel has agreed to a ceasefire and will also suspend its attacks for two weeks. The ceasefire will take effect when Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz.

• 15:53Speaker 04

  Awesome.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  You know, but that's. It's not like they have a barrier across the Straits of Hormuz. They're closing the straits by disrupting ships through the threat of missiles and drones. So how do you open the straits and thus trigger the ceasefire? I, it doesn't make sense.

• 16:17Speaker 04

  Who, where, where did you read that? Do you think that's bullshit?

• 16:20Speaker 02

  Barack Ravid.

• 16:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, but ask him.

• 16:24Speaker 02

  Senior White, a senior White House official told him that. Supposedly. It's interesting that the US is telling Israel what Israel will do. Listen, I get it. I guess they just say, hey, it's open now. I don't know. Put out a press release. I don't know. Yeah.

• 16:37Speaker 04

  It's gonna be a ribbon cutting.

• 16:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. There was some talk too that Lebanon was, was also part of the ceasefire, but I don't believe that.

• 16:49Speaker 02

  Like is there also ceasefire in Lebanon as well? No way with Israel Lebanon?

• 16:53Speaker 04

  There would be good news for Lebanon for sure.

• 16:58Speaker 02

  Cause that's kind of the one thing that's getting swept under the rug a little bit not talked about as well as Gaza. Lebanon's getting pounded by Israel.

• 17:09Speaker 04

  Damn it.

• 17:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, I guess it's all Iran has.

• 17:11Speaker 04

  Where's Jack? Is he uh, is he sleeping, uh, sleeping off his celebrity status?

• 17:20Speaker 02

  I don't know where he is. I think he said he was getting a tattoo and like he gets these huge tattoos that like take six hours.

• 17:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 17:27Speaker 02

  So I don't know if he's jumping on. He, he has been snarky in the, on our group chat though just now.

• 17:32Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, he's, you know, he's beyond us now.

• 17:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, he wrote guessing it goes as well as the Gaza ceasefire. So Jack is very optimistic on this.

• 17:41Speaker 04

  Is that, is that what he said?

• 17:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:44Speaker 04

  No, I mean, there's, there's, see, no one really had an incentive in the Gaza ceasefire. That's the difference. Everyone has an incentive in this one, except perhaps for the Israelis. Right? But they're not going to unilaterally start shooting missiles at Iran.

• 18:01Speaker 05

  It's interesting. The, uh, the president of Iran, who's got no power currently, obviously. He says that, uh, 14 million Iranians will die for the country right now that are willing to sacrifice their lives, which is actually double the number that another regime official said. So that's between seven to 15% of the country might support them based on their own rhetoric, which is interesting in their own admission.

• 18:21Speaker 04

  You know, I think the problem is that when we start threatening to destroy civilizations, we are uniting a population of a country behind the regime.

• 18:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:31Speaker 04

  Right? And I mean, uh, an entirely foreseeable consequence. That was not foreseen.

• 18:39Speaker 03

  Yeah. Didn't someone say in our chat that, uh, that some of that, uh, some of the citizens were like lining up on bridges or something like that?

• 18:47Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 18:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:51Speaker 05

  Same thing happened in 1980.

• 18:52Speaker 02

  I think Israel like over the.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  I think Israel too, over the last couple of days, like blew up like eight, eight bridges. Over the last forty eight hours or so.

• 19:05Speaker 04

  Yeah. I mean, bridges are the most understandable with dual purpose infrastructure, right? I mean, bridges are not a war crime, but when you start going after electrical grids. And, uh, and, and energy infrastructure, uh, then you, you're kind of following the Russian model. And that's why we're on thin ice, having, having lambasted the Russians quite rightly. For what they're doing in Ukraine. Of course, it's not like minus twenty fucking degrees here in the Middle East. So, but nevertheless.

• 19:42Speaker 04

  What we were threatening to do was, was putting us on, on thin ice.

• 19:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, that tweet today from Trump was insane. Imagine somebody else posts that, like another world leader. You know, Putin talking about Ukraine or whoever.

• 19:57Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, world leaders do, but then normally, you know, the, the, the heads of places like North Korea. Or Iran, right?

• 20:09Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, my point is like, how would we react? How would the American, you know, America react to something like that?

• 20:14Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, have we been reacting? They've been screaming death to America for forty something years and. You know, um, this is a, this is the reason for it. Um, but now he's saying the exact same thing.

• 20:27Speaker 04

  The problem is that the, that in their pronouncements, once the war started, the Iranians actually, I, listen, I do, you know, I'm a US Marine at heart, but. The Iranians were quite circumspect. I mean, they said, hey, we're going to continue with the war. But they had an eye on stratcom messaging. I mean, I'll shut up in a moment because John's far smarter than me. But it, but globally, and I'm outside the United States right now, globally, we didn't win the stratcom battle. In this war, it doesn't matter how many targets we destroyed. You're talking about our global audience and and not just

• 21:10Speaker 04

  countries we don't give a shit about, but countries that we may well rely on. We we haven't come out looking very good in in that in the strategic communication piece, right?

• 21:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, I think we do very bad with even just psy ops generally, like back in twenty fourteen, when ISIS and Daesh came up and declared the caliphate and they had these high production value videos of the violence they were doing and their training videos and all that. We we started to kind of get after it, especially with Gallant Phoenix and other programs we were using to try to exploit media associated with that. But we never like got ahead of that and it was kind of a catch up game. And even now, if you look on Twitter, all these high production value Iran regime produce videos of like Legos and all this stuff with the US and all these AI videos of Trump looking like a baby. Yeah, I mean, they know how the audience is going to respond to that and they're doing a really good job of of producing things that they know people will reshare, even if they don't like intrinsically support what the message is.

• 22:07Speaker 05

  It looks cool. It's fun to watch and they're doing a good job of that.

• 22:10Speaker 04

  We appreciate them.

• 22:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's far outpaced the uh Trump dropping shit on a crowd of protesters video, you know, that little AI thing far outpaced that. So we have that going for us.

• 22:25Speaker 02

  Also, it's kind of interesting watching like Sentcom like tweet out like fact checks and stuff like that.

• 22:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:31Speaker 02

  Because I've never, I don't remember that ever being a thing.

• 22:37Speaker 05

  And we have battalions that are trained in making these videos and doing this production and actually can do it in the military, not just CIA, which also can do it. But like in in Sentcom, you could have Sentcom producing counter narrative at the same production value level. You know, we have combat camera, whatever we call it now, STRAT, strategic communications now, I guess we call it, or COMSTRAT. Can still do that and we're not doing it. It's like, what? This is a domain. The information domain is a domain. You know, and we need to be, our warfighting functions need to be touching that domain, just like we're touching the actual physical space.

• 23:13Speaker 02

  John, let me ask you, like, is there, uh, because Iranians, most of Iranians, internet's out, is there, is it difficult for us to reach the Iranian pop population with that kind of stuff?

• 23:25Speaker 05

  It's actually interesting you mention that because I was thinking about that earlier about Trump's threat. I wonder how many Iranians actually were able to see that threat because they don't have the internet. So I wonder if that was more a domestic consumption statement that he made. I know he doesn't think that clearly sometimes, but maybe that was more for the US side or for the Pakistanis or something like that. But in Iran, I mean, this is my thought from the very beginning. You, if you want regime change, best way to do that is to let the people do the regime change. Let the people be in the street. And if you do that, we have low earth orbit satellites. We have mesh networks. We can get stuff launched up there real quick. Yes, there's already Starlink, but you could create one that's proprietary for Iran. That's over there doing direct to cell communications from February 28th till now.

• 24:07Speaker 05

  And, and not saying it would solve the problem 100%, but it would give the people the space to actually get out there and communicate, coordinate, find out, hey, is there food and water in this next village over so I can go get some? Because they can't even do that right now. And so if you set that up, the people can now actually get outside. And guess what? Then you can use all that air power that we're using that is very good to protect those people. So when they actually go out in the street and you see a group of Basijis coming to them, well, through that, that Reaper or that Great Eagle, you can just destroy the Basijis coming up to them. And pretty quick, they'd stop trying to stop the people or they'd run out of people, you know? And it just kind of baffles me. Why was that not part of the plan? That would have been a very cheap, relatively cheap part of this operation to, to dramatically increase, like force multiply across all the domains that are involved in this right now.

• 24:51Speaker 05

  If you just get those people out there.

• 24:54Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah. The, I, in my opinion, the, uh, the people are the de facto boots on the ground, you know? Right. Uh, but they can't get out there on the ground because they're too busy taking shelter. You know, it's like, I'm not saying we completely stop dropping iron, you know, dropping steel, but we've, there's gotta be some kind of coordination between that and, like you said, getting the message to the people so that they can do their part.

• 25:23Speaker 05

  Yeah, and we had something similar like that in Iraq in 2016, 2017, when we turned the war around against ISIS. You know, we're doing a lot of precision strikes. We did something like 30,000 strikes in three or six months, something like that. Precision, I mean, we had human trigger strikes all over the place. We had dynamic targeting, we had deliberate targeting, beautifully mapped across and coordinated, not just US side. That was with indigenous people inside, behind enemy lines, inside Mosul occupied areas, providing information using repeaters and other kind of information that we were able to set up with them. To talk back to us so that we could talk to them outside of the denied area. And then we'd have targets hit within minutes of that information. We can do it and we have done it. And we can do it on a large scale and I just could, again baffles me that we're not doing it now.

• 26:06Speaker 04

  Yeah, extending internet into denied areas, mind you, we had some major

• 26:14Speaker 04

  fuckups basically before we figured out how to do that, right? In Iraq, we spent a lot of money on extend with contractors who screwed us over, bastards.

• 26:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't understand, why wouldn't they do that for this?

• 26:30Speaker 05

  You could even put repeaters on drones and do like a source repeater network that would be able to provide direct to cell communication to people using outside. So for example, a Tessalot or Corec, which is the one in Kurdistan, you could do a Corec repeater around the border areas and actually get people communicating, but they're not doing it.

• 26:48Speaker 02

  At all, none.

• 26:51Speaker 05

  Now that I've seen, I know that there's some Starlink that's being, you know, assisted in the area, but the problem with Starlink is it's a giant target on your back if you have a Starlink terminal. You know, you need to have such widespread diluted access that it's impossible to actually stop it.

• 27:03Speaker 04

  Hey fellas, good news, my water is on.

• 27:06Speaker 02

  Congrats, Andy, go wash that ass.

• 27:08Speaker 04

  It's running brown, but.

• 27:10Speaker 02

  That's all right, you've had worse. Water's water.

• 27:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:15Speaker 05

  Take a sun shower.

• 27:16Speaker 04

  Yeah. So who knows, I wake up to a world at peace, huh?

• 27:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, everything's gonna be great. Everything's gonna be fine. Once you wake up.

• 27:26Speaker 04

  All right, fellas. Hey, Dee, so this means that we can now do our, uh, our live Eyes On, not the live, but, uh, an episode of Eyes On from Dubai, the city at the center of the war.

• 27:42Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 27:43Speaker 04

  I think with the extensive coverage that we have done and the income and the advertising, uh, we can and can get a first class ticket out there.

• 27:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, absolutely. We'll charter a jet. Yeah, absolutely.

• 27:56Speaker 04

  That's on Jack, Deep Pockets, uh, the great, the great Jack Murphy.

• 28:03Speaker 03

  He spent the budget on his tattoo. It's all gone.

• 28:06Speaker 02

  Yeah. He spent all of his Twitter money on that tattoo today. Mark Palomaropoulos is joining us. Mark, we're live FYI. Okay. So great to see you.

• 28:18Speaker 02

  I mean, you do this every day.

• 28:19Speaker 06

  I was just giving some wisdom to our British friends across the pond on, uh, on, uh, British radio. So, uh, I managed to throw in Taco Tuesday on that. So that was kind of fun.

• 28:29Speaker 04

  They're probably like, what?

• 28:32Speaker 02

  The hell's a taco? People in the chat are saying Taco Tuesday, too.

• 28:37Speaker 06

  You just, I mean, you served this.

  People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood.

• 29:05Speaker 07

  And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you you're not alone.

• 29:10Speaker 09

  One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies.

• 30:31Speaker 06

  No pun intended.

• 30:32Speaker 04

  They have like vindaloo Friday in the UK.

• 30:35Speaker 06

  By the way, just, it was on LBC, it was a, you know, a pretty big British station, and just withering criticism of Trump, that he caved on this. I think that they probably their analysis is certainly not going to be shared by the people on the right, or the in the FDD, the Freedom and Defense of Democracies crowd, who are going to be insufferable, as Andy knows. But withering criticism on this, that he definitely caved.

• 31:01Speaker 02

  So, did they accept the, like, the 10-point plan that, like, at least hinted towards accepting it for the ceasefire? The 10-point plan that Iran sent back, countering our 15-point?

• 31:16Speaker 06

  Dee, we're gonna, I mean, again, what we're, we're at a disadvantage here. We're actually talking about diplomacy and really important things on a Truth Social post. And so, you know, so Trump claimed that. He also wasn't sure, we weren't sure if the Iranians actually have accepted to opening, reopening the Strait of Hormuz. So, you know, who knows what the hell this is? I think he was just looking for a way out.

• 31:36Speaker 04

  Definitely for an exit, Ryan.

• 31:39Speaker 06

  Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, and so, but this is gonna be, this is gonna test my patience. I probably have to get off of social media, because this is gonna be really couched from the, kind of, the pro-Israel right, again, Freedom, Defense, Democracy struts us all crazy, as a massive Trump victory in some fashion. And I already got a note from a former Mossad officer who I work very closely with, not happy. The Israelis are not

• 32:04Speaker 04

  No, they're not.

• 32:05Speaker 06

  Nope.

• 32:06Speaker 04

  I've been on the phone with someone in Tel Aviv. Because their sirens are going there now. Quote, "This is, this is bullshit." So you can't.

• 32:15Speaker 06

  Okay, that's a natural reaction. I don't know, right?

• 32:17Speaker 04

  This is, this is a bilateral ceasefire. You didn't let us in on this. I'm like, it's not my fault, man.

• 32:23Speaker 06

  Trump is also going to absolutely kind of bludgeon Netanyahu to accept this. And so, you know, that's gonna be fun. How Bibi,

• 32:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:29Speaker 06

  You know, there's gonna be a lot of, so and, you know, again, who knows what happens? But, you know, look for Barack Review to tell us all the great, you know, points of disagreement.

• 32:40Speaker 05

  In the Farsi media, it says Trump's humiliating retreat from anti-Iran rhetoric. That's how the Iranian media is painting it, which is accurate.

• 32:48Speaker 04

  Well, it would be interesting to see what the Pakistani media is saying, because we'd probably get the real truth from, uh, from, you know, what the president of Pakistan is saying. That's, that's, you know, that's a sad statement, what I just said.

• 33:05Speaker 06

  See, this, this is gonna trigger me all over the place, you know, so, because, you know, when it comes to the government of Pakistan, a lot of us have memories of Afghanistan and I'm sitting on the border and getting, you know, eating 107 millimeter rockets fired from Pakistani military positions at us. Firefights with the Pakistani military. I've talked about it on Team House with you all. So the idea that somehow Pakistan is back in our good graces, um, is going to be tough for me personally to swallow, but, you know, this is, it's a fellow autocrat, so Trump loves these folks.

• 33:32Speaker 04

  Might you let bygones be bygones?

• 33:35Speaker 06

  I have a hard time.

• 33:36Speaker 04

  There's just too many groups of people to hate in the world.

• 33:39Speaker 06

  I'm Greek. Dee knows this. I don't forgive anybody.

• 33:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, no one, ever.

• 33:43Speaker 04

  I'm, I,

• 33:46Speaker 04

  I'm the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm ultra forgiving.

• 33:50Speaker 06

  You're a lover. You're a lover, not a traitor.

• 33:53Speaker 04

  Yeah. I don't forgive Dee for pouring whiskey down my throat on those

• 33:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, I forced it.

• 33:59Speaker 04

  evenings and insisting that I take off my clothes.

• 34:02Speaker 02

  Yep, that was me. You're right. Hmm, this sounds like a Reddit thread. We had the, we had ladies in the, we had ladies in the room and they were, they were egging on Andy and once Andy heard the ladies screaming, he started taking, he started disrobing.

• 34:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, and then I found out they're actually screaming for Jack.

• 34:19Speaker 06

  Jonathan, question to you in terms of, and this is just to kind of think back and, you know, actually all you guys, Jason and Andy too, if you're on the Mew right now, if you're on the float, just sitting there and you get this news, like what's the, what are the emotions of the, of the Marines who probably thought as we were softening up Carg Island over the last, you know, 12 hours that that might have been in preparation for some kind of, you know, movement of, of ground forces. What do you think they're thinking right now?

• 34:47Speaker 04

  Well, extensively, externally, there's a lot of outward disappointment. I think though, for individual Marines, a huge amount of relief.

• 35:01Speaker 05

  There's also the hurry up and wait feeling where it's like, okay, we already probably got told to go and get back and go and get back multiple times before the Mew even got there. Because I'm sure when they were in California and Japan, they were told like six times they're, they're going and not going. I remember a buddy of mine that was on the FAST team that was going into Libya, back when the 2011 kicked off, or 2012, September, and they told me to get on and off the airplane like seven times before they actually flew out of Italy over there, you know, and they told them to like change their clothes. They couldn't be in civilian clothes. They got to put on camis and then back and forth again, same thing. And I'm sure that's been going on. The rumor mill on that ship has probably been out of control. Like you mentioned a few weeks ago, Andy, like the rumour on there, like you don't even know what's true until you're actually on the airplane.

• 35:42Speaker 04

  I'll tell you what the, I guarantee the, one of the main rumours that's running through all the both arcs right now is, we're stopping in Australia. It always happens. That's always the rumour. It's like, ah shit, we're not going to war. But we're going to Australia. Someone starts that and it spreads like wildfire because to Marines, Australia is the land of milk and honey.

• 36:09Speaker 06

  Mark, I think too-

• 36:10Speaker 05

  The aircraft breaks down in Rota.

• 36:11Speaker 04

  I don't know why. You know, I'm a Brit, we, that's, we shipped our convicts there.

• 36:16Speaker 03

  I, I think too, that it also depends on, to answer your question, the rank and age of the, these Marines. Cause as you know, the younger ones are probably like shit, you know, I wanted to go get some. The GWAT vets, probably the staff sergeants and above are like, you know, we're not doing this shit again, thank God. And the older are probably thinking the same thing, but now have to, you know, control the rumor mill. So I think that has a lot to do with it.

• 36:46Speaker 05

  And plus there are guys that are outside the ship that are doing advanced force operations and doing preparation of the environment stuff. They're like out there that are probably kind of pissed because they just built a bunch of structures to put in place to move a lot of people. And either those things aren't being validated, or they're falling apart, or they're on hold. And that's, that's a pain in the ass.

• 37:04Speaker 06

  So there's, there's, there's some interesting stuff coming up. So they said, a senior White House official says Israel has agreed to a ceasefire and will suspend its attacks for two weeks, but the ceasefire takes effect only when Iran opens the strait.

• 37:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 37:17Speaker 06

  And there is.

• 37:17Speaker 04

  Meaningless.

• 37:18Speaker 06

  Well, and so, so now the Iranians are saying they just announced for a period of two weeks, safe passage through the strait will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces. Interesting.

• 37:28Speaker 05

  But they're obliterated. How can they coordinate?

• 37:31Speaker 06

  With due consideration of technical limitations. And so that's a little bit different than um, what Trump wrote in his Truth Social post, complete, immediate and safe opening of the strait. And so, you know, there's a lot that's gonna.

• 37:43Speaker 04

  But here's, here's the issue that we're talking about. There's no such thing as opening the strait. Right? It is forbearing from shooting ships that are trying to get through the strait. And the only way to test that out is to drive a ship through the strait, right? With Jared Kushner on board. So.

• 38:03Speaker 04

  I mean.

• 38:03Speaker 06

  Don't forget, wake off.

• 38:05Speaker 04

  A test of the validity of the ceasefire, right?

• 38:10Speaker 05

  I'm getting from somebody that the New York Times says that.

• 38:12Speaker 04

  It's not a, it's not a ribbon cutting. It's, you know, how, how do you? It's an open question. No one can answer it, but it's not as though there's a physical barrier across the strait that they are pulling open.

• 38:25Speaker 05

  Apparently it was China that made a last minute intervention that pushed the agreement.

• 38:31Speaker 06

  So, yeah, and, and we'll see. And then, you know, you think back and, and, you know.

• 38:36Speaker 04

  At least it wasn't Russia.

• 38:38Speaker 06

  Right, that's true, but you know, this is the same kind of adage that, you know, I gotta think about this, the things to kind of think of, to say about this and this is, you know, we're gonna go back to the mowing the lawn. If the Israelis will accept this because Trump's gonna beat them over the head with it, but they're gonna go back if they have to. And so it's the old adage in the Middle East, there's no such thing as when wars end, they just kind of, you know, it's R and R until you get ready for the next one. And I think that's probably accurate. And so, you know, I think that, you know, this is all super preliminary, but maybe a discussion just for a couple of minutes. Would be is, okay, you know, what, look, in the, in the US perspective, what war objectives have been achieved? I think that maybe that's a good point of discussion. Jason, what do you think?

• 39:19Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, obviously we've hit a lot of targets, so I don't know what the target that look like, I don't know, you know, what the broad strategic plan look like on paper, but. I think militarily, they can say, we hit the targets we said we were gonna hit and that's. That is kudos to the air crews, the, you know, the crew, the ground crews, things like that, and, you know, whoever we have on the ground.

• 39:46Speaker 03

  Processing these targets, but.

• 39:49Speaker 03

  I don't know strategic, if we're talking regime change that's being thrown out there all willy nilly, I, I, I don't see it, you know, from my little five foot.

• 40:00Speaker 03

  You know, view, but I guess they're gonna, I think, much like the rescue of the Wizzo. They're just gonna keep parading out these military.

• 40:13Speaker 03

  Achievements, these are tactical military achievements. I don't see a strategic victory, in my opinion.

• 40:20Speaker 06

  Jonathan, what about the nuke program?

• 40:23Speaker 05

  Well, we don't see any new developments in that that are public at least, but to me, you know, I'm thinking about deny, degrade, disrupt. Like, these are the kind of things that we can say that have happened in, in some degree, you know, different ways, but those are not defeat. They're not obliterate. So like, if we're looking at lines of effort on, on the campaign plan, they're like, if, if defeat Iran was on there, that is not achieved, right? So. Uh. The problem is when the war started, we were not given discrete objectives. Those objectives were kind of assembled along the way and kind of repackaged as things progressed, not according to plan, if there was such a plan. Um. And like you said, Jason, I think there's a lot of tactical and operational successes that are being repackaged as strategic outcomes.

• 41:04Speaker 05

  And it doesn't work like that. You can't work backwards from what you've done and just explain it as if that was your your idea the whole time.

• 41:12Speaker 06

  Andy, what do you think?

• 41:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, I I think I think we've achieved as best. If we kept our objectives sane, which was, you know, exactly what Jonathan said, that like D D cube. Then, yes, we've been, we we've probably been as successful as we could hope for. I mean, the but the thing is that.

• 41:37Speaker 04

  Chief among our, uh, the previously, when when the we before this even kicked off, right? When the campaign was being designed, you know, and it was on the shelf. What did we say our main objective was, John? A number one objective.

• 41:51Speaker 05

  The nukes.

• 41:52Speaker 04

  The nukes, right? So. You know, it's kind of a war of.

• 41:58Speaker 04

  It wasn't, I mean, listen, I I I spent, just like you guys, most my a lot of my career planning against Iranians. The the only casualties I took as a battalion commander were caused by Iranians. I've got no reason to love the regime, but this was, you know, it's a war of choice. And uh, and and the objectives that we achieved were really Israel's objectives. Our main objective had to do with the nuclear program, at least that's always what we have said. And um, effect on that is unknown, but I it's unlikely to have been obliterated. Uh, but you know, I mean, I understand we can take a win if we've set Iran back. If it but our our main goal was was always a nuclear weapon. Number two. Was support for proxies, always, right?

• 42:44Speaker 04

  I mean, because that was what was destabilizing the Middle East. The threat of nuclear, uh, you know, I mean, it was our our policy of nonproliferation and then regional stability in the Middle East, and Iran was a threat to both of those, and that is why we selected those objectives.

• 43:02Speaker 02

  What effect unclear what effect we've had on those two.

• 43:05Speaker 06

  Dee, your favorite subject, the New York Times article about the Israeli pressure.

• 43:11Speaker 02

  We talked about it a little bit before. No, no, no, continue, please. I want your.

• 43:15Speaker 06

  I know I want to hear your rant on this. This is a.

• 43:18Speaker 02

  Well, I mean, frankly, like having fucking Jared Kushner or Steve Witkoff anywhere near the fucking Situation Room is out of control. The guy couldn't get a clearance. You know what I mean? He's in the pocket of Qatar and Saudi. Like, what are we doing? The guy is and obviously Israel. The guy is obviously a liability. We have a strip mall developer as our special envoy. It's like, the whole thing is fucking bat shit. Like, if we're being honest here, you guys are all professionals in this world and you know it too. You don't have to say it. I'll say it. I'll be the guy. I'll be the bad guy. It's fine. Um, yeah, it's and when they were making that final decision before, uh, you know, before

• 43:58Speaker 02

  he gave the final go ahead. They're sitting there with five or six people and nobody can give any fucking dissent, not even J D Vance.

• 44:06Speaker 06

  Like, I think must have leaked all this stuff. I mean, that was like a, that was a, I was, I was, you know, I know Jonathan Swan. I mean, I know these, these reporters and so they're, and they're doing their job, but to me it was it's incredible, you know, covering your ass on this thing. J D Vance is the one who seemingly is the one who reached it. It looks the best in this whole thing.

• 44:27Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah, he looks like the only one that's actually has like a working, working brain, to be honest. Um, even though he kind of, he kind of pissed out too, right? He's his whole M O for the long time while he was running and, you know, while he was bringing brought up as like the groomed as the V P was getting out of these wars, right? And America first and that bullshit. So where is that exactly? While we're spending, you know, we've spent probably 20 upwards of $20 billion plus so far. Um, yeah, uh, it's just the dynamics that go on in there where it's everyone scared to say anything. It's like, I don't know what the decision should be, but I know your decision would be right. Somebody said that.

• 45:08Speaker 02

  Like, are you fucking kidding me? You're a professional. You're supposedly a professional. So it's mind boggling.

• 45:17Speaker 06

  I got a raise on this because so and then of course Ratcliffe is in there kind of trying to be the one again. He came out looking fairly okay on this because he's showing dissent. Although you can you then contrast that, which is why I question that, you know, this is like the old Bob Woodward books. There it's and it's it's a narrative. It's an account. There's an agenda there, but you take a look at that CIA video that they put out of Ratcliffe.

• 45:37Speaker 02

  Crazy.

• 45:38Speaker 06

  And you guys, which was, I mean, the the reaction I got from people inside was fricking hilarious.

• 45:45Speaker 06

  But, you know, it's just like licking his boots, but yet in the background, he was showing some reservations about this. You can't really have it both ways. I I I'm sorry. Hey, one quick thing for Jonathan. I'm just reading something here now. And and again, this is as we kind of this is all live with the 10 point plan. One of the pieces of the 10 point plan is full sanctions relief on Iran. Well, holy shit, frankly, if that's something that the US has agreed to, you know, that is pretty extraordinary. And so that's why I think that, I mean, you know, I mean, talk about that because the maximum maximum pressure campaign had so much to do with that. If if, you know, if Trump agreed to that, just to get the Strait of Hormuz open. Wow.

• 46:28Speaker 05

  The thing is with with sanctions, you can't just turn them off. So you can stop enforcing them. That's true. But, you know, in the in the corporate world, the market drives everything. And if the market doesn't trust, like the collective market does not trust that these will remain unenforced. There will not be interaction, like people won't go and do business in Iran. And actually, remember back in the Clinton administration, the 1990s, there was a a brief relief on sanctions in Iran. And Clinton allowed carpets, pistachios, saffron, and a couple of other products to be sold inside the United States directly. And companies didn't want to do it because they were afraid that when Clinton's out of office, they're going to have to close their businesses down and leave. And this is kind of a similar issue with the tariffs where there was this idea that, okay, we we do these tariff things.

• 47:12Speaker 05

  And suddenly people can bring industry to the United States. And some companies did that. Then the tariffs were enjoined by the courts, which meant that there was no financial incentive. And these companies are left to dry and like, I just invested $100 million here and I'm out and nobody's helping me. And it's the same inverse in Iran. If you say like, suddenly you can do business in Iran and Iran can join the Swift Bank network again, which they were kicked out of in 2018. People aren't, the market's not gonna believe that, right? Like, there's the short-term changes when you look at like oil futures, like right now it's nineteen percent drop in two hours on oil futures, which is insane. That's oil futures, that's just a simple, little small thing, that's not people moving manufacturing industry into Iran, which would be fantastic if they did. Um, so it's like, the market has to believe this, it's kind of like we were talking about the Straits of Hormuz.

• 47:56Speaker 05

  You can say they're open, but is Maersk gonna get insurance that's as cheap as it was before to move oil through there?

• 48:03Speaker 06

  But you said they're good, I mean, so the whole, the whole idea of this was that Iran wants to walk away as the, as the toll booth operator. In the agreement, he said, it's two million.

• 48:12Speaker 02

  They're doing. Two million and they chop it with Oman, right?

• 48:16Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 48:16Speaker 06

  So, you know, again, I think, you know, as we kind of decipher this, that happened just a couple of minutes ago, there's gonna be some things where you're kind of scratching your head. Um, you know, what has, you know, how much has Trump actually capitulated on this? Uh, because he was, he was looking for a way out, it's gonna be, it's gonna be fascinating. Now, we can't have it both ways, in, in one way, in that, you know, Jason, we've been like, we've been hammering this crazy-ass president for, you know, for all the things, but now there's a ceasefire, we back down, so now we're gonna hammer him for being a big pussy. I mean, you know, so it's kind of funny, and so there's already some criticism I'm seeing on social media for people like us, like, well, hold on a second, you guys were saying he's a crazy man causing World War III, yet now he's not going to do it, now you're making fun of him for backing down, so. Yeah.

• 48:59Speaker 06

  I, I mean, there's a little bit of a, some truth in that, maybe, maybe, I certainly have, you know, a little Trump derangement syndrome, I know Dee does.

• 49:05Speaker 02

  I'm not really shitting on him because he backed out, because he made the ceasefire, I mean, frankly, I'm shitting on him because a month ago, or a little bit over a month ago, the deal that was on the table diplomatically far exceeded whatever this can ever create, ever get to, and we didn't have to lose thirteen guys and four hundred-plus people get injured, and, you know, really fucked the world economy too, right? Like, we didn't have to do all that, and we still could've got a better deal diplomatically. But Steve Witkoff, I'm gonna go back to them, because they're the fucking worst. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner don't have a technical expert in the room with them while they're doing nuclear negotiations. Like, if they were buying a strip mall or leasing something, I'd have them in the fucking room.

• 49:51Speaker 02

  But it's a joke. We're a fucking joke. So I mean, I'm happy that the like bombing is gonna stop. Obviously, yeah, we did. We get fucking bent over by Iran. Yeah, it looks like it right now, especially deal point. Why? Like, you know, what what we're end up getting like, are they still gonna keep their nuclear weapons or their uranium? Not their nuclear weapons? Yeah, it's a big question mark right now. And what happens in two weeks? Israel doesn't love this. What are they gonna do to like, kind of cockblock this whole thing?

• 50:19Speaker 06

  Especially if they're getting hit right now with ballistic missiles.

• 50:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:22Speaker 06

  Um, kind of, kind of interesting. I've done. I've reading some. I've just getting some, some messages from folks. Um, and this is from someone who has access inside, uh, the White House. And even it was quoting a White House official saying it's a, it's a weird agreement. And so, I mean, I think it probably took some creative diplomacy. And there's gonna be some parts in this that we're all gonna be shaking. I mean, look, Trump just wanted to stop.

• 50:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:45Speaker 06

  Um, and so, you know, that's it. And then the other part of it that I think, if you look at the history of just US diplomacy, usually we have really experienced, you know, negotiators, steeped in Iranian history, culture, language. Um, uh, the Iranians are very experienced negotiators, but I, on our side, I don't even know who was doing this. Maybe it was Jared and, and Steve Witkoff and JD Vance, although he's running around Hungary, humiliating the United States to no end today. Um, but I, I think they're, they're just, they probably, the Iranians knew that we were gonna come up with something weird and we're just gonna accept anything, just to have this thing stop for a bit. Because Trump was just getting pummeled. I mean, this was such a bad day. Public relations wise for the United States. I mean, if it, if it set the Pentagon almost on, on fire

• 51:28Speaker 06

  in terms of, holy shit, we're gonna be asked to commit war crimes. Um, probably not a bad thing that, that we, everyone kind of stood back from the brink.

• 51:37Speaker 02

  Guys, what's Ynet? What's the media source Ynet? It's Russian.

• 51:43Speaker 02

  Saying what it because it says ceasefire announced by Trump includes Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel.

• 51:47Speaker 05

  You're correct. Actually, that's that's point number one.

• 51:50Speaker 02

  It does.

• 51:50Speaker 05

  It says complete cessation of the war in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. And then further down, which is even crazier. Full reparations will be paid to Iran. This tells me that this is like not a legit agreement.

• 52:02Speaker 06

  This is gonna be fun. Actually, so yeah, this is gonna be fun because now it's not gonna be. We're whining that we wanted the war to continue. It's just gonna be fun making, you know, fun of this agreement just to see how much Trump.

• 52:13Speaker 02

  Oh, my God. That's, I mean, guys.

• 52:17Speaker 02

  Guys, even me, why do you want the war like?

• 52:20Speaker 05

  Point number three.

• 52:21Speaker 02

  John.

• 52:21Speaker 05

  Ending all conflicts in the region in their entirety. Peace in the Middle East. That's the plan.

• 52:29Speaker 06

  Well, number four, the Boston Red Sox are gonna win 100 games in a row and make this a piss off.

• 52:37Speaker 06

  All right.

• 52:38Speaker 02

  Bro, oh, my goodness.

• 52:41Speaker 05

  And it's a complete and permanent cessation of the war on Iran with no time limit.

• 52:46Speaker 06

  Yeah. So again, as you know, that's the beauty of doing stuff live. Um, you know, the the initial stuff and I mean, we should know better that, you know, Trump's bravado when you kind of have to dive into the details. And so I guess I'm gonna have some fun with this just because and you know, I I watched, you know, Andy get into kind of some war with uh, with some of the kind of the pro-Israel crazy types. Um, uh, in his little spat, uh, when he was writing on War on the Rocks. Um, it's gonna be fun seeing how people get. Try to um, still even seeing this terrible, if it's a terrible agreement, how they're gonna still try to say somehow this is a win.

• 53:26Speaker 06

  And then in the language they use, I already saw it. I mean, not to pick on names, but I, you know, we're all kind of mildly obsessive about these crazy people.

• 53:36Speaker 05

  Well, for Iran, it's like as long as they outlast the US, they've won.

• 53:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's it right there. And that's what it's always been for them as long as they can outlast us because they have how many examples in our history of those who have said, all we need to do is outlast them from Vietnam to now.

• 53:55Speaker 02

  Yeah. So we so I'm guessing that like going into the war, Trump was assuming that we would completely take out their missile program. And like, keep them like completely defenseless and like they still have half their missiles and half their drones. And it's proven to be very difficult to like, you know, take stuff out because it's mobile and you know, underground. Outside of smoking the leader and the 40 other ones behind him. I mean, what have we achieved outside of high gas prices and like, you know, squeezing the global economy? And, you know, how can, how can fucking Qatar, how can any of our GC, those GCC countries trust us? Ever? Yeah, I don't.

• 54:39Speaker 03

  So the best thing is some of the, you know, Fox News is going to go into kind of orgasmically about the brilliance of, uh, uh, of the president. So.

• 54:48Speaker 02

  Uh, well, like you told, like we were on the group chat before, uh, Mark, and you mentioned like turning on Fox News. I turned it on. And they're like, they did a whole segment with a panel, like a six people talking about like, uh, Soleimani's daughter that got arrested. And, uh, the other one that was the, the, uh, one of the hostage takers, the woman.

• 55:09Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 55:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. What's her like, what's the nickname they gave her? Screaming something like, yeah, there's some nickname she's got. Anyway, her son lives in LA. And, uh, like they're just talking about these like, like, guys, what do we care about? Like these like dilettante kids? Living in like, who gives a shit? It's just like this constant just propaganda of like, they're living in our country. You have to take them out. Like what the, you're wasting airtime on this shit. You're like a major news. Yeah, so like Mark told me, I did it. I turned it on. I got triggered. I was like, I can't believe this is happening. Like, there's a program director or producer saying like, this is a this is a great segment. We should do the segment. This is killer.

• 55:55Speaker 03

  Because if they didn't put these filler stories in there, they'd have to actually talk about what's really happening, you know, there. So this is what they do, you know, it's like, um, and I'm sure I'm gonna trigger somebody with this. It's like with these, uh, ice stories, you know, um, a US citizen get killed, but it's like, oh, you know, but this guy killed this girl and he's an illegal, illegal, you know, he's illegal. Okay, that's true, but that's a, does that mean that all murders are done by illegals? But it, you know, they've got to kind of counter, they've got to fill that space. So that's what they're doing here.

• 56:32Speaker 06

  Ah, fun. All right, fellas, I gotta, I gotta roll.

• 56:36Speaker 02

  All right, get out of here, Mark. Good to see you. Thanks for coming.

• 56:38Speaker 06

  That was fun, and we'll do it again.

• 56:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, we'll be back on Sunday, regular, regular scheduled program. I'm sure there's gonna be a ton of shit to talk about then, too, like, right, like, because this doesn't seem like an actual, like, they agreed, we agreed to this shit. Like, we didn't agree to this.

• 56:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, that ten-point plan was actually sent by Iran.

• 56:59Speaker 06

  Jonathan and I are gonna go back on Israeli TV just to annoy Dee.

• 57:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, without coordinating.

• 57:05Speaker 02

  No, go on it. Just make sure you plug eyes on. I'm fine with it. I don't give a shit.

• 57:09Speaker 06

  Take care.

• 57:10Speaker 02

  I don't care. Go on Iranian TV. I don't care. Go on the FARS.

• 57:16Speaker 02

  Just plug us. What were you saying, John?

• 57:18Speaker 05

  That ten-point plan that I was mentioning was, was the Iranian plan that was shared to the US that the US has said is a good starting point for negotiations, which is crazy, because I mean, the thing is like, it's the most extreme list, and it's also not an agreed-on plan. So like, what is the actual ceasefire?

• 57:37Speaker 02

  Who said that was a good starting?

• 57:39Speaker 05

  Trump. He said, uh, "I believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate."

• 57:46Speaker 03

  We surprised.

• 57:48Speaker 02

  What the bro. So, bro, he, this is like elder abuse at this point, right? Like, he's just like an old dotty guy and like Lindsey Graham's got him from behind like. Like, I don't know what's going on here, dude. It's crazy. I guess he got freaked out by like the MAGA hardcore. I think Tucker Carlson called him the Antichrist.

• 58:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:07Speaker 02

  You know?

• 58:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 58:08Speaker 02

  And Alex Jones too was freaking out about him too.

• 58:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, Alex Jones is talking about the 25th.

• 58:14Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. So if you lose those two cuckoo birds, you know, something's not right.

• 58:21Speaker 02

  We got a, we got a big dono, a donation. From, uh, Reed, Reed Y K. Thank you, boys, for keeping us informed. Nice to hear from actual experts sending support from my beloved shithole in Brooklyn. Love it.

• 58:36Speaker 05

  Hey, Brooklyn's nice, I heard, I heard.

• 58:38Speaker 03

  I love Brooklyn.

• 58:40Speaker 02

  It's quite nice. Yeah, I enjoy it. Yeah. I mean, you can go out. Yeah, I mean, there's parts of Brooklyn that like are shitty, but. That's like anywhere.

• 58:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 58:52Speaker 02

  Brooklyn's good. You can go to brunch.

• 58:56Speaker 03

  Dude, you see, someone said, uh, Caravaggio, uh, eight zero zero three said, he is a professional seasoned Brooklynite.

• 59:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, I get worked up and I just start running my mouth.

• 59:10Speaker 03

  I love it.

• 59:10Speaker 05

  Do you ever run into AOC when you're walking down the streets of Brooklyn?

• 59:13Speaker 02

  Oh, I wish, bro. I wish. I love her. I love her. I wish I run into her.

• 59:20Speaker 05

  Just like spill your bagel on her by accident.

• 59:24Speaker 02

  I think she lives in Queens. I think. Not that I've been following her. I swear.

• 59:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know if you saw, but, uh, there was a guy who got, uh, busted in Jersey for, um, Basically, he had like a shit ton of pipe bombs in his house. And like, he was literally like, walking outside and just lighting these things and just throwing them in the street. So

• 59:49Speaker 02

  Just for fun.

• 59:50Speaker 03

  Apparently, for years, because this came through at work before it hit the news, it came through to my job. So apparently, this guy, for years, people have been complaining about explosions. And what they sound like explosions and the cops come out and not find anything or whatever. So one day, I think it was last week or whatever. Apparently, this guy set something off. And so they called the cops, cops pull up just as the guy walks outside and he's like, powder burns, blue stuff all over his face and everything. And it made me think of that guy that, was it a video you sent us? Of somebody in your neighborhood, like, lighting something?

• 1:00:26Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:00:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:27Speaker 02

  My neighbor, that was my neighbor.

• 1:00:29Speaker 03

  That's what it made me think.

• 1:00:30Speaker 02

  He lives like four houses down. He went a little cuckoo. He was off his meds or something. He's a nice guy. He's a curmudgeon. He's an old guy. He's a little bit of a curmudgeon. So he just came out the crib, out of the house, like, it was snow everywhere too. So this must have been in January. Just popping off rounds. At like some random car, but it turns out it was a starter pistol. So he's not getting in trouble.

• 1:00:52Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 1:00:52Speaker 02

  Crazy, bro. He, it was, I was crazy. Yeah. That video was, I got the video like right away too. Like the neighbors are talking. Sending that video around. Yeah. It was wild. It was wild.

• 1:01:03Speaker 03

  Is he back? So he's back home?

• 1:01:05Speaker 02

  I saw him today. Yeah. I was like, yo, what's up, bro? How you doing?

• 1:01:10Speaker 03

  Get your hands out of your pockets.

• 1:01:10Speaker 02

  He seems better, which is good. Yeah. Yeah. He seems better though, I think. I think because he was in the, he was in like a, like a psychiatric facility for like a month.

• 1:01:18Speaker 03

  Damn. That sucks.

• 1:01:20Speaker 02

  Yeah. Something could happen to anybody, I guess, you know?

• 1:01:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:01:24Speaker 02

  Just start shooting your starter pistol into the street at a random fucking car.

• 1:01:29Speaker 03

  Pretty sure if I did that, I would not be on the next podcast.

• 1:01:32Speaker 02

  No, you'd be shot. You'd be shot by cops. Yeah.

• 1:01:36Speaker 03

  Oh, man.

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  Yeah, uh, so I don't know if you guys saw what Mark P just sent that tweet. Like breaking down good summary of the problems with the agreement. I mean, yeah, this agreement is going to get like dissected because it sounds like it's bat shit insane. John, what do you think? What should we like look for in the next few days? What are you looking for?

• 1:01:59Speaker 05

  First of all, see if it's breached or not, especially from the Israeli side, because this happens with Israel versus Lebanon a lot of times where they'll come to a ceasefire. And then during the ceasefire, Israel continues striking because they claim the other side is violated somehow. Um, so I'm curious, since it sounds like Israel was told by the US that there was a ceasefire that Israel must now follow. Which I don't think usually happens in that direction. I think it's the other way around usually. So I'm curious to see what level of actual. You know, discretion is going to go on there about are they can actually sustain that or not? And if Iran continues firing missiles that they might claim like, oh, whoops, we already fired that. It was too late. You know, is that going to be a pretext that Israel uses?

• 1:02:39Speaker 05

  Plus the Houthis again are kind of on their own. They do sometimes follow the regime, but also sometimes operate independently. So. They might not be ready to stop harassing people. So it might be that the regime doesn't have the kind of control that it needs to actually keep the lid on violence. And also should be looking for, how does the regime treat the Iranian people in these two weeks? Are they going to start because they're not firing outboard? Are they going to turn their weapons in board and start looking for people that have been collaborating over the past two months? You know, I'm sure there's been quite a few people working with different intelligence community entities over the past two months. And the regime is going to be looking for them. So now they'll have the space to do that.

• 1:03:19Speaker 05

  And the question is, will the US help behind the scenes to not let them do that, you know? This is also a great opportunity for, again, the US to give the internet to the Iranian people in these two weeks. Because if they do that and Iran is now pressured to not retaliate as strongly. That could also help those people get out in the street and then start taking the government as well.

• 1:03:42Speaker 03

  From an intelligence perspective too, all the talking that's been done, you know, all of the quote unquote leaks or whatever about going back to that, the rescue of the, the extraction of the Wizzo, you know, sources and methods and things like that, while they weren't necessarily specifically named, like we're talking around things that IRGC and others, you know, they're going to focus on that, they're going to hone on that. So because if we, if this thing doesn't hold and, you know, airstrikes continue, the chances are that another aircraft is going to go down. So is it gonna, you know, things gonna happen the exact same way, based on everything that's been put out there?

• 1:04:25Speaker 03

  You know, so I'm sure that's something that hopefully somebody is thinking about.

• 1:04:30Speaker 05

  Another good point too is the Kurds. So the Kurds have been making videos about holding M4s, for example, and saying that they want to do stuff because they had the cover of air support at the time, making those statements. Well, if there's a two week ceasefire, the regime might head west into Iranian Kurdistan and start being pretty violent against those people that made those videos, which they've done in the past. So they have already demonstrated they're willing to do that.

• 1:04:55Speaker 02

  And there, uh, when the Kurd stuff started popping up in the media and stuff like that, didn't they start, they shot like a couple missiles and drones over, over there too, right?

• 1:05:05Speaker 05

  They, they fired into Erbil actually, around Erbil and, and, uh, eastern, eastern Kurdistan, inside Iraq, at a couple of bases and inside of Iran.

• 1:05:14Speaker 02

  It feels like, oh yeah, no, it's come to like, uh, we're pausing. It does not seem like, it seems like this is going to be pretty bad.

• 1:05:25Speaker 02

  I want to know what's going on in Lindsey Graham's brain right now. He's gotta be losing it.

• 1:05:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:05:34Speaker 02

  Um, anything else? I mean, I'm trying to, I'm like, have so many screens open right now. I'm like dizzy.

• 1:05:41Speaker 05

  The one screen I'm watching is oil futures because that's a market, like absorbing this news and reacting to it, which is a very interesting thing to look at.

• 1:05:51Speaker 02

  Where's it at now? Did it go under a hundred?

• 1:05:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's 9507. So it's down 16% roughly.

• 1:05:57Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:06:00Speaker 02

  I mean, you gotta assume that's like the main reason we did this. It's not like Trump's worried about the Iranian civilians or even our servicemen.

• 1:06:11Speaker 02

  It's just like, oh, fuck.

• 1:06:13Speaker 05

  And you notice the timing again, it was after hours, after trading closed. Again, every single time it's been after hours trading.

• 1:06:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. They were also pushing it yesterday to last night before, I'm sorry, early this morning or late last night. Talking about possible ceasefire and stuff like that, uh, to kind of try and quiet the markets a little. Ah, man, again, I don't know what stage capitalism this is, but it's a fucking weird one. I'll be honest.

• 1:06:39Speaker 05

  If you look at, uh, like after hours trading in NASDAQ, S and P and Dow, they're all up over 2%.

• 1:06:45Speaker 02

  Right now.

• 1:06:46Speaker 05

  Right now, which is like the biggest movement they've had upward since February 28th.

• 1:06:50Speaker 02

  I mean, frankly, like, I know the Iranians are taking this as a win, like the regime right now, or like they're crawling, like they're spinning to spinning like crazy right now.

• 1:07:00Speaker 02

  But what I mean,

• 1:07:03Speaker 02

  do they really? They can't trust us right after what we've done the last couple of times with negotiations? Like we had a killer deal or close to it. And in that, back again to that New York Times article, Wickoff and Kushner were saying like, oh, to get an actual deal is going to take months. Yeah, no shit, guys. It's a nuclear deal, not a fucking lease for a deli at one of your buildings. You dumb fucks. You know, it's of course it's going to take months. How long did the JCPOA take?

• 1:07:33Speaker 05

  Almost six years.

• 1:07:34Speaker 02

  Negotiate. There you go. I mean, like, these are serious issues that like have huge ramifications. It's not going to be like you're buying a new strip mall and you can bang it out with your lawyers in a couple of days like

• 1:07:49Speaker 02

  unbelievable to me, like the level of like, fuck this guy Kushner, man. You are a liability. You can't get out of clearance and he's sitting in the situation room. Like, how is that allowed in this, in this, in our government?

• 1:08:06Speaker 05

  Well, in that situation room, talk you're discussing, which is like earlier before the war started, if you read who was in there, the ODNI director was not in there. And there were a couple of other individuals that you would think from the cabinet that should be in there, like Treasury Secretary was not in there. Yeah. Scott Besson wasn't in there.

• 1:08:23Speaker 02

  So, but was the energy guy too? They mentioned, I think.

• 1:08:25Speaker 05

  And but who was Caroline Leavitt was in there.

• 1:08:30Speaker 02

  The, the PR, like, yeah, press secretary.

• 1:08:33Speaker 05

  Yeah. So the actual decision makers weren't in there, but the, the media people were in there.

• 1:08:40Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:08:41Speaker 03

  Had to make sure to get that spin right. Yeah.

• 1:08:43Speaker 02

  Yeah. And I, I, the comms director was in there too, right?

• 1:08:47Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:08:47Speaker 02

  I think.

• 1:08:50Speaker 02

  And I think they had the, like, the general counsel, which is like, I don't even know why that position's even filled with this administration, if we're being honest.

• 1:08:57Speaker 05

  Yeah. Well, they're just writing legal opinions that are exactly what they're told to write.

• 1:09:02Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:09:02Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, and if I'm the Pentagon, I, someone has to be thinking like, what's our pivot point here? How long do we keep these Marines, soldiers?

• 1:09:13Speaker 07

  Hi, I'm Jenna Oshkowitz. You might know me from Glee. This is At the Table, the food allergy podcast, a show about food, connection, and what it really looks like to live with food allergies. Each episode, we hear stories from real people like Daniel.

• 1:09:28Speaker 08

  People would always think I was lactose intolerant, so I just kind of shortened my explanation to I'm deathly allergic, in a big way that defined a lot of my childhood.

• 1:09:39Speaker 07

  And while there are challenges, there are moments that remind you, you're not alone.

• 1:09:44Speaker 09

  One of the best guys that I dated, he made a point to memorize all my food allergies.

• 1:09:50Speaker 07

  So join us and hear their stories and more, because living with food allergies isn't just about what you can't eat. It's about still having your seat at the table.

  Sailors and airmen on station there. And if something pops off on the other side of the world, how quickly can we pivot? You know, like we've done the whole boys and their toys. Look what we got. Look what we can do there. And now we've got this pause. So hopefully someone has taken a beat and saying, okay, what is our pivot point? How long are we going to keep these kids on station trying to, you know, to hold this down? Yes, we have to keep somebody there just in case, you know, this whole thing breaks. But that doesn't mean that something's not going to pop off on the other side of the world. So hopefully somebody's thinking about that.

• 1:11:43Speaker 05

  Plus you got the carrier strike group that's been deployed, I think 11 months now at sea.

• 1:11:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:11:48Speaker 05

  That's crazy.

• 1:11:49Speaker 02

  I think they're heading back home, right? They had the big fire in the, in the laundry room.

• 1:11:54Speaker 05

  I think they're in Seward Bay in, or Suda Bay in Crete, getting repaired.

• 1:11:59Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:12:00Speaker 05

  And they let the guys go on liberty, which is nice that they got to go on liberty. But like, they're still deployed. They're not home yet. And they weren't told they'd go on 11 month deployment. They were told they go on a six month deployment. So, you know, like they got spouses and kids back home, some of them with their kids being born while they're out that boat. You know, that's thousands of people deployed without any clue about what's coming next for them in their life.

• 1:12:22Speaker 02

  Now they're in Crete getting Cretean girls knocked up.

• 1:12:26Speaker 02

  You know, just waiting around for the laundry to get fixed.

• 1:12:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, so they can use it.

• 1:12:31Speaker 02

  And then they say, yeah, didn't they say that it's gonna take like almost two years to fix the actual fix the the carrier?

• 1:12:38Speaker 05

  Well, I don't know.

• 1:12:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, they had like a range. It was like 12 to 36 months to get it back.

• 1:12:45Speaker 02

  It's like, my oh my, I'm trying to get Jack to come on. Andy just sent something, a screenshot from his phone. Uh, he's getting a, the area is under hostile aerial threat. Please remain calm, stay indoors or safe place away from the windows and doors and follow the instructions of civil defense.

• 1:13:03Speaker 05

  I thought it was a ceasefire.

• 1:13:05Speaker 02

  Me too.

• 1:13:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:13:06Speaker 02

  What happened?

• 1:13:08Speaker 02

  The first $2 million toll check bounced, probably.

• 1:13:13Speaker 05

  They couldn't get it to the bank account because it's still sanctioned.

• 1:13:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Right, yeah, exactly.

• 1:13:19Speaker 05

  Well, I'm gonna drop off, guys.

• 1:13:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, I gotta take off too.

• 1:13:22Speaker 02

  All right, get out of here, guys. I'll wrap it up. I'm a solo. Don't worry about it. I'll keep chatting with the chatters a little bit.

• 1:13:27Speaker 03

  All right, folks.

• 1:13:28Speaker 02

  And continue to ruin our reputation.

• 1:13:30Speaker 03

  Yes. Burn the whole thing down.

• 1:13:33Speaker 05

  Somebody's gonna do it.

• 1:13:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:13:35Speaker 03

  Take care, gents.

• 1:13:36Speaker 02

  I'm a fall guy. Later, Jay.

• 1:13:38Speaker 03

  Take care.

• 1:13:38Speaker 02

  John, see ya.

• 1:13:42Speaker 02

  That was the boys. I'm trying to get Murphy on, Jack Murphy on, but he's playing coy. I think, I don't think he's home. It's pretty awesome. I get to do the show with these guys, right? Like some jerk off like me. Sick.

• 1:13:54Speaker 02

  Uh.

• 1:13:57Speaker 02

  I'm trying to catch up on the chats, guys. My bad. Yeah, so there's that ceasefire. Peace in our time, guys. And it's so annoying, dude, because this thing, there's just so many, so many screens. What else we got? Anything? I think we might wrap it up. I got nothing else to say. I'm spent. Cretin? Question mark? A Cretin girl from Crete? Because the, the aircraft carriers in Crete on leave while it's getting repaired. So they're, and so people from Crete, we call them Cretins.

• 1:14:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, I have friends from Crete. They're they're little cuckoo. They're definitely the cuckoo ones. Question for Dee, if thousands of Marines are there on station, does that mean they will be deployed, isn't it?

• 1:14:43Speaker 02

  Isn't it true that the US forces are on station, they get used? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. They're gonna probably stay, you know, sit around wherever they are. My guess is they're probably in the Gulf of Oman, the Mew. Uh, they're not in the Persian Gulf, no way. They're gonna be sitting around for a couple of weeks to see this thing, whether it falls apart or not. I mean.

• 1:15:06Speaker 02

  But yeah, we, you know, there's a, for the most part, Trump, whenever he builds up like, uh, military forces somewhere, he kind of uses them, so.

• 1:15:15Speaker 02

  Frankly, I hope they don't do it. I hope they don't go after Karg Island or anywhere else. Uh, because think about it, if they're gonna go take Karg Island to try and, let's say this shit, let's say this shit broke apart. They try to go and, you know, they, we go back to fighting. They go back to Karg Island. They go take Karg Island. They're sitting there for weeks, probably, just taking incoming fire. Like, how is that good? Versus the PMF in Iraq? Do you think there will be, they will have a ground operation versus the PMF in Iraq?

• 1:15:47Speaker 02

  If anything, it's gonna be special ops and maybe CIA. Like, I don't think it's gonna be real deal. I'm gonna slowly wrap up. I want you guys to do me a favor, like and subscribe. If you're watching right now, hit that like. Share it, tell your friends. What's the best Greek diner in Brooklyn? I mean, diners are all diners, right? Like.

• 1:16:06Speaker 02

  I know the best Greek restaurant, and that's the one that my family owns, and it's called Avli Greek Kitchen on Smith Street. Go check it out. The best Greek food in Brooklyn. As far as diners go, there's a place over here, Bay Ridge Diner's pretty good. My bo homie used to own it, he just sold it. Um.

• 1:16:25Speaker 02

  I mean, most diners fucking suck, to be honest. Um, but Bay Ridge Diner has like a step above, like, pretty quality diner food. I would go and check it out. Boys, hit the like, hit the like, boys and girls, if there's like 3% of the girls that listen that are on right now.

• 1:16:43Speaker 02

  Hit that like, tell your boys, tell your homies, you know what I mean? Do what you gotta do for the cause.

• 1:16:50Speaker 02

  Cause I got like five experts on every week and they're not cheap, guys. They're not cheap, okay? They're divas. Don't tell them I said that. I hope my man Andy's good to go. Yeah, do us a solid. Oh, also Murphy, Jack Murphy, he's got a new book coming out in June. It's a fiction book. It's really cool. It's about a army ranger, RRC guy who gets kidnapped and gets, um,

• 1:17:13Speaker 02

  gets hunted for sport. Really good book. Read it. I read one of the first early drafts, really, it's, it's fun. Check that out. The link is in the description. High side for Jack too. His, his news outlet with Sean Naylor. They do great work. Worked at like the New York Times and Washington Post, wish they fucking did. Um, and all that, all the links to in the description.

• 1:17:48Speaker 02

  Do you see about the Ursula Major sinking? I don't know what that is. Sorry, I'm stupid. A diner is basically like a, like you get eggs. You can get a burger. I mean diners in New York. And I'm sure a lot of places like in America are, it's just like a seven page menu. And you can get anything from like two eggs, breakfast to like, you want to fillet a soul. They have fillet a soul some for some reason. That's what a diner is, at least here. It's like a coffee shop. Plus in Brooklyn now in New York, we don't really have those big ass diners as much anymore. It's like a small, regular store, like in a retail area. That's just like a coffee shop diner. Like we don't have those big ones with the big, uh, parking lots and stuff like that.

• 1:18:32Speaker 02

  We have one left in my neighborhood. Um, but the ones that we at least have three. All diners are just Cisco slop. You're not wrong about that, bro. You're not wrong about that. Don't get me going with the restaurant business. Worst business in the hu- in human history. Also Cisco just bought Restaurant Depot, which is like a place where like a lot of most, a lot of restaurants in Brooklyn and anywhere. Go and buy stuff. So it's just like Cisco is just gobbling up everything and they're like the fucking worst. Guys, don't get me crazy. You're bringing up traumatic stuff from my past when I used to own restaurants. Okay? It's not cool. Yeah, it's basically like a cat. Yeah, food pa- yeah. Cafe in your, it's funny too, cause some coffee shop diner places call themselves, you know,

• 1:19:17Speaker 02

  Jimmy's Cafe and stuff and it's basically like just diner food. Maybe some of them will do like,

• 1:19:23Speaker 02

  some of them will do like desserts and stuff like that, too.

• 1:19:28Speaker 02

  There are a lot of like different places that are like amalgamations. Jack's at a bar. Alright, Jack's out.

• 1:19:35Speaker 02

  Alright guys, thanks for hanging out for the live. Really appreciate it. Maybe we'll try and start doing a little bit, a couple more lives. Keep it like nice and loose, maybe.

• 1:19:46Speaker 02

  Okay, basically. Yeah, right. Jason's in here. Jason, also diner stay open later, sometimes 24 hours. Yeah. What happened here in New York especially, I mean, there's still some 24 hour diners, but a lot of the 24 hour diners around me, when COVID hit, they stopped being 24 and they never really came back as 24 hours. My local Greek diner burned their diner down for insurance money to cover the debt on the bar they opened up. Yeah, that sounds like a totally plausible reason to do that. Would I be lying to you if I told you when I own restaurants, I fantasize about burning them down and taking the money? Uh, yeah, I did. I didn't burn it down or anything. I should have.

• 1:20:31Speaker 02

  Alright guys, thanks again. Really appreciate it. I don't know how to fucking turn the stream off. Give me a moment. Like and subscribe. Don't forget to do that. Please like and subscribe.

  Zolair 150mg is a prescription medication used to treat food allergy in people one year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to one or more foods. While taking Zolair, you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Don't use if you are allergic to Zolair. Zolair may cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Tell your doctor if you ever had anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or if you have swelling of your throat or tongue. Zolair should not be used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Zolair is for maintenance use to reduce allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, while avoiding food allergens. Serious side effects such as cancer, fever, muscle aches and rash, parasitic infection, or hardened circulation problems have been reported. Please see zolair.com for full prescribing information.
