FBI Warns of Iranian Attacks in California

0:00And we thank Ryan Goldberg and the team there from DFCU financial. They do such a great job. Now meanwhile Speaking of great job Steve Gregorian who runs this thing and invites us to broadcast great job Jan who must run the Masonic Always is so helpful to us when we arrive here to do a broadcast. Listen to this a little bit of story You know you can't hide from anything anymore. There's a camera. There's apparently viral video out showing former president Bill Clinton nudging his wife former first lady secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. He's nudging her toward a busy New York City intersection crosswalk prompting her to pull back and protest raising her hands and saying no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that He replied with a grin. Oh, I guess that's I guess that's not a good idea. Oh, sorry Hillary. Sorry Hillary

1:01I thought you could cross the street. I really wasn't pushing you in front of ongoing traffic. I really wasn't Maybe it's maybe it's a weird game they play or maybe Bill's just losing his marbles I don't know a little game of chicken with the traffic in Manhattan having lived there for five years You don't want to get involved In chicken with traffic in Manhattan Yeah, I mean that's definitely gonna feel a lot of speculation and even more conspiracy theories now. Yep. Yep. Yep. All right Rocky Rechkowski retired lieutenant colonel in the US army is here as the FBI warns of Iranian drone attacks on California now I kind of wish the president would stop saying oh this thing's over this thing's almost over I mean they have no navy they have nothing and then the next day we wake up and they've bombed ships and they've Done a lot of damage in other countries. I you know, there's a time when I think the president needs to actually stop talking I'm not sure rock if you agree with me on that or not nice to have you on board I agree to be on with you pulled up you and you know

2:04It is what it is and you know, I I don't always pay attention to what people say, but I look what they do And his his actions in Iran. I actually agree with I know that there's only 40% of the country that agrees with us But there's a lot of reasons why this attack on Iran was warranted and I keep telling people when I'm on TV or radio or wherever else on that Is that we've been at war with Iran for 47 years and I've had a personal friend that I've even talked with Mike Parsons about That was taken out and killed by executed actually by the IRGC who was a soldier friend of mine that served in the same unit as I Well, I'm very sorry to hear that. Yeah Yeah, I am also sorry to see that Iran which we've been at war with but I think we underestimated their ability I think we because we now telegraph when we're going to war or attacking Because we now let people know weeks and advance They do what anybody would do that isn't completely stupid and they're apparently not completely stupid

3:09They hide they bury they they put missiles and drones in areas where it's a one-off So when they send it off and then we destroy that area It doesn't do anything they've already shot off the missile or the drone from there And so now we didn't apparently also think of preparing our companies For the the cyber attacks look at in Kalamazoo for goodness sakes striker is saying they've been hit by an Iranians cyber attack. I mean rocky. This is worrying me Well, it shouldn't and and you know You talk about how we signal how we're going to war or how we're going to attack. It's it's really hard To to kind of send three aircraft carrier strike groups to an area and say oh, we're not at war and we're not going to strike you What when you see three carrier strike groups and 40,000 troops come at you There's going to be some type of activity and The the striker the the Michigan company here at striker the largest one of the largest medical suppliers

4:15Of medical goods durable medical equipment has been hit by as we know now Habdala which is a organization that is very involved with Iranian military intelligence But I don't think we've underestimated them for a long time Our government has been telling businesses and if you work with the federal government You have to be something called CMMC compliant You have to be compliant and make sure that you go through specific protocols and one of those protocols is that you have Double layered authentication of whenever you're working on your email And this is a brand new type of asymmetric warfare that our Pentagon is ready for But I'm not sure our enterprises are with with ransomware with everything else that's going on Russia China and Iran have been attacking Our networks and not just our businesses, but our government networks for a long long time And that's why our military and other parts of the government especially parts that deal with water and other things

5:18Deal on a what's called a ciper net us a secret Internet that is not connected to the world wide web and that's one of the reasons why I'm really upset That under the Obama administration they release the control of the internet to the world Instead of that control was always the United States the United States create many many people may not know this But it was our D.O.D. Not El Gore, but our D.O.D. that created the internet Well, son of a gun. I thought it was El Gore, but anyway, um, I know I The This is coming around in its hard for Americans to take the first report of the first hit basically was of a quote-unquote Which I didn't believe because there aren't girls schools in Iran girls aren't allowed to be educated Girls aren't allowed to go out and wear whatever clothing they want Girls or women are not allowed to vote or drive or any number of things with these people in charge Which is why I can't understand why the squad and AOC America of course and her gang aren't out there fighting on behalf of the women of Iran

6:24But now the Pentagon is saying It was outdated data For where that school was and here's what's not outdated. We know that school was stuck on purpose in the middle of four or five legitimate targets I wonder why the news media is not mentioning that Yeah, you know what Paul W. This is something that really hits close to my heart because When I was overseas I was involved in the in an incident that That it's something that you carry on for the rest of your life that You know when children die in in an issue of collateral what they call collateral damage And it's one of those issues that we really need to take a step back and re-examined and I have a friend that always tells me to Check twice and cut once and sometimes the military and we make mistakes in that fog of war And that was one of those mistakes that that should have never happened But on the positive side the United States is one of those countries that always pays for

7:27Those collateral damage or those things that were not intended in war and the president actually came out yesterday And said to be doosey of Fox News He said that we will take responsibility for it and when the United States takes responsibility for it That means we will pay for those damages. Well and for those who argue well you can't pay for lives Let me tell you something the United States does not Does not aim for civilians. We don't we don't we do not we can prove it even the people who hey this can Prove it or at least admit it because we don't aim for civilians Iran is scattering at towards civilians all around their their part of the world Paul W. I can officially tell you in my 27 years of service and and all the friends that I've met that were older veterans And younger and men and women that are serving today. We have never aimed at an innocent individual Never never aimed with intent and when we do

8:29Those individuals are tried as war criminals But as you've pointed out and we'll end with in war There's collateral damage in war There are mistakes made in war There are accidents that happen and this looks like one of those Big ones, but that's on a on a brighter note Paul W. I'm not sure if you've seen this Iran has been boasting that is actually destroyed hundreds of us in Israeli missiles and rockets with their buildings and military installations And I'm not sure if that's even true Well, there's not a lot to be happy about right now and I kind of wish the president would pull back a little bit on Well, they don't have anything left because then the next day we hear of things that they've done still and it I think it makes us look bad To pretend that they're not putting up one hell of a fight Because they are I It's sad and no one else is also pointing out that it's because the last two presidents gave billions of dollars to Iran

9:31We now know where they spent that money, don't we? I hate to say this, but not just the last few presents for the last 47 years from Reagan I give Reagan a pass to Trump We have had administration after administration just kicking the can down the road Well, but did they all give billions of dollars to Iran like Biden and Obama did that was that was Obama And I hope you have a list of flakinon to explain that because a list of flakin was actually involved in that That's a good idea. I'm not sure Alyssa will come on To talk about that. Yeah, I don't think so either With that one. Yeah, all right Thank you Rocky Rich Kowski God bless you retired lieutenant colonel in the US Army Here in focus with Paul W Smith on WJR at 1244
