it's all about. We've got a lot to talk about tonight, talking about what's going on over in Iran, talk a little bit about the objective, how it's different from Iraq and Afghanistan, how advocates of this approach say the goals are a rapid outcome, either forcing Iran's leadership to change course, or significantly weakening its military capacity, while avoiding the kind of open-ended commitments that have defined the pre-mentioned Afghanistan and Iraq war. I'll talk a little bit about the detractors who just aren't interested in any more Middle Eastern wars or any wars in general, like myself, just think that there's so many things at home we could be focusing on, and this isn't a distraction taking away from Trump's

term, because he could be getting things done domestically. I told Rob this in a text earlier, he doesn't necessarily agree with me, but we chat back and forth about these things all the time, but President Trump, I think he could have had such an easy term, and that's what's frustrating for me, is he could have just focused on the economy and domestic issues, and people would be loving it right now, I think his approval numbers would be a lot better than they are now. In fairness, they've only dropped about what they would normally drop to a guy in a second year. Nobody usually keeps as high of approval rating as when they enter office, so it's kind of to be expected that as approval would drop, you know, five percentage points or whatever as since he entered office. Nonetheless, the war is pulling unpopular with independence, very unpopular with Democrats,

and it's pulling relatively well with Republicans, but not a clean sweep there either. But Rob, what are your thoughts on this ongoing conflict we see with Iran? Do you think that we can wrap this baby up quick or do you foresee it going into the distant future? Well, first I want to thank all of our listeners for tuning in tonight. Now, to answer your question as to how, how some that I think this thing will wrap up, and just some of the things you're other things you're saying about the war, Trump focusing on the economy, domestic issues, and whatnot. Listen to commentators and, you know, doing research online. This has been an ongoing conflict for four decades, going all the way back to 79 with the Iran hostage crises. And we've gone through, you know, different decades with it still being there.

Iran's saying that they're going to be, you know, good stewards. They're not going to enrich uranium, but yet, and still, they continue to do it. We heard the same thing with North Korea, when Bill Clinton said, well, let's get him a chance, let's look the other way, they're not going to enrich uranium. They enriched it and now they have a nuke. Granted, North Korea has been rather quiet. Why is that? Well, because during Trump's first term, they saw that he's more crazy than their leader. And if you recall, at one point, they were flying airplanes over South Korea, you know, right in the, what would Japan, so they were going to attack for one reason? Who knows? I guess they want it to make South Korea take them up under their stewardship, because at one point it was just Korea, then they broke up North and South because of communism

and whatnot. But we know that Trump, whatever Trump said to him, whatever happened when they did meet at the DMV and when people, DMZ and a lot of people were saying, oh, don't do it, don't do it. And Trump said, oh, no, got to do it. Keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer. He did it. And the guy has been quiet every since. We know that during the first term of Barack Obama and all the others, they were talking about it saying, oh, how dare you do this, don't do it, don't do it. The usual panicans, we didn't know they were panicked at the time. We were still referring to them as pearl clutches. You know, fast forward, the second Trump administration, we're now referring to them as panicked. We now know who they have been defined as panicked, the panicked and said, oh, don't do it. Okay. This summer, the same thing happened. Trump comes into office. He's talking to Iran. He's saying, don't do this. You can't do this. This is what you've got to do. And remember, the Biden administration did the same thing. You know, you've got to let our inspectors come in. Iran said, you can. They let them come in. They sent them to the wrong place to inspect.

Just, you know, back wasn't forward. You know, Iran being Iran. Trump said, look, come on, guys, you know, let's play it there. We're all adults. We're world leader. Let's do the right thing. We want to welcome you and to the fall. Just imagine how rich your country could be if you come into the fall, the exact same thing he said to little rocket man, come into the fall. You'll have these big buildings. You have this nice seashore apartment condos. Oh, it could be beautiful. Well, rocket man decided not to decide. I'm just going to keep my marbles at home, but then I'm not going to, you know, play around with my, my nooks either because I know you might do something. Well, I guess he figured that out once we took out Iran's one of his second in command, Soleimund. It's like, this is where you are and what is Soleim in state? Why are you seeing me this picture? Well, because I know where you are and I'll take you out. Well, he, F-A-F-O, we just learned out that term also and he found out. So going back to Iran, 2025, Trump comes into office and he tells them, look, dude, we

want to play it there, but you just get it together. Okay, we will give us some time to just get dragged it out. Oh, Trump is not going to do anything. Oh, this administration in Iran, they were relying on Democrats and the media to plead their case to make them uncomfortable because their masters at manipulation, they are masters at spinning, they are master spin doctors. And we saw this with Hamas when they were attacking Israel. They were masters at saying, oh, Israel, they're committing genocide. We've had guests to come on to say, Israel's going to be careful. Because these guys are master manipulators, they will get the public sympathy on their side immediately. And then what are we started having here? People shouting in the streets, oh, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. It's like, but what is Hamas doing? Are you guys going to tell them to put down their weapons? Well, no, we just want Israel to do it. So go back to Iran, the same thing. Iran is saying, oh, we're going to do it. We're not going to do it. But we're going to create this propaganda to make the American people think that it's damn, it's not us.

Leave us alone. We're not doing anything. Meanwhile, we're going to keep, you know, you're reaching Iraniam and doing what we want to do. So Trump said, okay, fine. I'll give you 120 days. Then we're going to look at this. And I'm telling you, you better get together and get it together. But you know, the media keeps saying, oh, Trump, he's checking. Trump is not going to do anything. You know, Taco chicken. They were coming up with all these little playwares for Trump making fun of teasing Trump. And, ah, he's a coward. Oh, Trump. He's not going to do anything. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Again, June. June came around. 2025. I think it was June 28th, June 26th. And without notice, unbeknownst to the media, Trump started bombing Iran. They made it wait a minute. We didn't know about this. This was a part of the plan. Wait, wait, wait. Stop. What are you doing? You're not supposed to do that. You're chicken, man. You're just, you're all talk. You're not going to do anything, which Trump said, okay, well, you'll see. So we started bombing. Of course, I ran. Didn't see it happen. I didn't see it coming.

They're like, oh, my God, we got to get the media to spend force again. We don't, we're not enriching your brain in. We don't have anything here. And what if the media do like clockwork? They came up. Oh, you don't have anything. Why are you attacking them? They're harmless. How dare you do this to them? They don't have anything. Come on. And that was Operation Midnight Humor, which took place on June 22nd, 2025. And once Trump bombed the hell out of them, the media came back and said, oh, you missed. You missed. There was nothing there. You missed. It said, but wait. You guys said there was nothing there. So how did we miss if there was nothing there? No, no one bothered to follow up on the media and say, wait a minute, media, you did say that there was nothing there. But now you're saying that they missed what happened? Wait, well, I would say that we were told that we completely destroyed their nuclear program. And now we're told once again, that's one of the reasons we're going to work. We're going to work with them. Oh, but you forgot one more thing. Yeah, we were told that then we found out that they continued. They said, oh, well, we're going to do it on the side again.

Of course they did. You know, we're going to keep, we're going to keep going at it. Yeah. So do we, should we believe them then? Doesn't this sound like the same propaganda we heard back in 2001 to get us into the Iraq war? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. No, this goes back. We're decades. Yes, before I ran is a broke country. They weren't anywhere near getting a nuke. I don't believe they would have gotten one or else they would have a long time ago. So yeah, I just let the asses of time, they're not a broke, I mean, and that's the thing. Because I think they couldn't even have a formidable response to this. I mean, the response was just sending out a bunch of random missiles. I mean, we all knew that we're going to go to war with Iran for weeks. So it was, you know, speculated what was the night of his speech, and he didn't mention that everyone thought that's what he was going to announce.

But four decades of this, that was in forward. Like I said, the same thing with North Korea. No one thought they would get it either. Then one day we woke up and said, oh, we have it now, and you can't do a damn thing about it. So do you actually think Iran was just going to sit there and just talk to us and say, oh, no, but see, they were counting on the media saying, oh, they don't have anything. Oh, no, no, no, all the while they were continuing to reach Iran. So as I mentioned, June 22, the cabosh, okay, boom, then said, okay, you're coming back to the table. Once again, come back to the table. Oh, yeah, we're going to do it. Yeah, yeah. And remember what they told Wycloth, Wycloth, I think it's there. Yeah, we got it, and you can't do anything about it. What are you going to do about it? Trying us to come there non-stop, all come, come, come, come, they get their hair. Well, yeah, we got it. You can't do anything about it because you're relying on the media to make the case for them, but they don't have it. Maybe we do. Maybe we don't.

But if we do, what are you going to do about it? So we can continue to support terrorism unless they didn't have it, but why they continue to support terrorist activity? Not just in the Middle East, but around the world, and not only that, if there was such good stewards in the Gulf Coast, why are the other Arab countries watching by just sitting back and watching them be blown to smithereens? Why is that? See, they thought that they were going to join in. Well, if we attack Israel, they'll definitely join in, and that has always been the fear. Whenever there was a some type of skirmish in the Middle East, we would always tell Israel, don't do anything because we know that Iran is going to blow it, lob a bomb your way. Remember what we wanted to, wait, I meant to Iraq. We told Israel, don't do anything because we know what Iran is going to do, and what did I ran do? Well, of course, they didn't sit a missile to Israel, hoping that Israel would get involved because if Israel got involved, it's like, well, then all the other Arab countries would get involved also. But Israel held this peace during Iraq, saying, we're not going to do it.

But this time, Iran knew, oh, the writing is on the wall now, the trial is serious. Peace bumming us to hell. We've got to go and attack all of our neighbors. If we can't have it, we're going to burn the whole thing down, which is what they were doing, hoping to do. Thinking that Dubai and Saudi Arabia, they're going to say, oh, no, Trump, you can't do this. You got to stop. Nope. They're sitting there saying, came out, they didn't announce Iran. Why are you attacking us? We haven't done anything to you. Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to blow up our buildings? Why are you trying to kill our people? And why is it the media asking Iran or putting the question out there? Why exactly are they attacking these other Gulf states? Why? Because no one has put that question out there to Iran. Why are you attacking the other Gulf states? If you're saying that America is so bad, then why don't you just go ahead and attack them or attack Israel? Well, I forgot they can't because we almost bummed them to wazoo.

They have nothing. Now they have their drones and the drones I'm hearing are very deadly. And I think their last stand is what they're hoping for is if they can get a large fleet of ships through the straight of our moves, oh, they will light it up like is nobody's business. But here's the other thing. We're dependent now. We don't need their oil. China needs it. European countries needed you would think that the European countries would say we're going to protect the straight of our youth, but they're too afraid. Well, we're not going there because Iran will bomb us. So why should we go there? Well, my thing is Trump just leave. And if they're all goes up, who cares? If they're economy collapses, who cares? Because then they will come to us on bended knee asking us for oil. And then we should raise the price up and say, OK, the price just went up. Right now, there is a member of the on Downey Street, which we're looking at her the other day. I'm surprised immediate is a bonding over her because she happens to be a black woman.

And she's on Downey Street, and she's giving Starmer a run for his money, calling him out. Her name is Kimmy. I thought I'd written her name down. It's Kimmy something, but she's giving him a run for his money, calling out his fecklessness. Now, had it been any other time, the media would definitely just be like singing her praises like, oh, look at her. But because she's calling out his BS, he's saying that he's a wimp and that he's allowed their country. He's almost turned it over to radical Islam, oh, the media won't say anything. They'll just sit there and go, OK, there's no black girl magic with her, because she's saying what we don't want to hear. And make no mistake. They know she's black. She's replete with the long braids and everything else, but her anoxiation, she is polished when she's coming after him. And she's saying, why haven't we sent troops there? Why haven't we sent ships rather there to protect our interest? If we say that America is bad, why are we allowing them to lead? And you know what?

When you look at the history of it, great Britain, Europe, they came in and they were controlling Iran's oil. They were setting the prices, although they were getting it from them. So now they're just going to give it up and let America have a truck knows what he's doing. He knows if they're afraid to say anything. And as Trump said, well, Starmer, well, we mind he said, well, it's too late now, the war is almost over. Call it a war. I call it a conflict. You don't need to know. But all these countries just sitting there and just watching, what's going on? And China, China's going to come in and China, oh my god, they have a big army. But when was the last time? When was China ever in a war? They're a grown war or an air war. Because we know they're cyber warfare now. They might be experts on that, but it makes you wonder, Andrew, who's going to help by rampishize our media and our politician? Who's going to help them? They're out there waving the white pervertial, white flag. But no one is coming. And then we find out that the new guy who's going to come up and leave them.

Think Heather and I, we spoke about this last week that he had a weeny problem, but now it seems that it's more than just a weeny, impotent problem. It's the person that they've been trying, or the persons they've been trying to peer him up with. This word on the street is that, you know, he's just not into women. Just not into there. They don't make, you know, they don't do it for him. He needs something else. You know what I mean? And there's nothing wrong with that. But this from a country that hates gays, I mean, go figure, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But of course, the media won't say anything about it. They are making Iran out to be this strong military, Andrew, that we've all got about you. I would say China's smart sitting on the headlines or sidelines while we're over 35 trillion in a debt. And we continue to go more into debt each day that we're in this conflict. We're just spending outrageous amounts of money in this war that I think is senseless

because Iran wasn't a direct threat to us at home. And they're just going to, you know, have more of the same leadership. You're not going to change this country. Obviously, protesters haven't came out in the numbers that were expected to try and overturn the government or the Moulas leadership so it doesn't look like it'll happen. But I guess they will be militarily incapable to strike Israel who's got the strongest military in the Middle East. I'm not sure why we're protecting them, but this is where we're at, in my opinion.

We are back here on after dark is rather than the America out louds I hurt radio channel and we're just continuing our discussion tonight about the iran conflict, robs and favor of it. I'm very much not in favor of it. So we're just having a great little discussion back and forth on what's going on with the conflict and the latest personally I'm hoping it ends very soon, preferably by the summertime so we can get these gas prices back under control.

That would be great I think for the midterms as well, but remains to be seen Trump says that we've come very close to polishing off the military capabilities as Rob was explaining in the first half of the show that sounds like all they've mainly got left are drones. Maybe this, whatever you call it, Nairan, I don't know if you'd call it an administration, but maybe they will reach some kind of deal with the United States and get us some favorable oil or something that can come out of this that remains to be seen. Rob, what do you think we're close to getting a deal out of them? I think they're willing to negotiate as far as that goes. At first, Trump was saying he wanted unconditional surrender. I saw him say like yesterday, they're a day before that iran's just not coming to the

terms that he's willing to accept yet. I don't know if they're going to come out and just give an unconditional surrender. These are about people. Yeah, I don't see that happening. They're radicals. And remember, we had to have the same thing about that Trump wanted to give him a way out of the war with Ukraine. They're still going at it, folks. You would think, here we go again, Russia was supposed to have been able to just wipe out Ukraine. How many years are we into this now, three, five? I can't remember, I lost kill. And they're still going. No, I thought Ukraine, like what's left of Ukraine? Like what were they bombing just like the fields of, I mean, what's there? But they're still going at it. Russia has a nuke, and Russia has threatened to drop that, but they haven't done it.

They're still going, they're still going at it makes you wonder. And so I go back to Iran, you know, we were trying to get Putin a way out so that he could save face. Still going at it. So I doubt seriously that Iran is going to come out and say, okay, we some render this is it. Now the thing that troubles me about all this is I'm liking, and we got to remember, we've only been in this for 10 days, although the media make it seem as though we've been in it for a lifetime, when we went to Iraq, I don't remember any of these questions being put out there, or even when we went to Afghanistan, until we had been in it for a month or two. And then next time we know it was like with Afghanistan 20, 20 years later, it's like, whoa, it's been that long, but it has not been that long here, but it seems that way because of the way the media covers it. And if you notice, not once that they come out and say, wow, Trump is doing what past presidents could not do for the past four decades, I mean, he's on target.

I mean, this is phenomenal. This shows you the power of our military. Now, I would not have wanted this to happen on the Biden because we would not have succeeded. You saw how Biden left Afghanistan, rather clumsily and recklessly, but it's only been about 10 days plus. And while I thought, and I started seeing this in the first half of the show, that I think a lot of people forget that Iran isn't some nambi-pambi country because they've had wars with others in the region. They had a war with Iraq that went on for 12 years. They've had a war with Israel. Most recently, I think it was a 12-day war that I think they had a six-year war. So although we think Iran, for me at least, I was thinking that it's some backwards country like Afghanistan. But it's not. That backwards by any means. It was at one point before the 70s, a prosperous, middle-eastern country that everyone

wanted to go to. But then you have the mullahs to take over. And it just changed drastically to what it is now. But that being said, they have their resources. And we also got to remember, Biden and Obama gave them almost like $56 billion. So they had a lot of money to pay out to Russia and to China for weapons. Granted, they gave them secondhand weapons, like I guess. Mine is the drones. The drones, I think, were, well, they had the drones and then they took our weapons from Afghanistan. Do you think that we'll probably leave the engagement before Israel does? Like I said, Israel, it does have the strongest military in the Middle East. They've got the Iron Dome, they've got an excellent intelligence community. Do you think that we'll kind of get out of Iran and just let them handle things? Do you think Trump's going to be a peace moderator trying to get them to stop the conflict at

the same time we do? I think what Trump is doing is that he's with this all our might, well, he's already crushed them, trying to get them to come around to see that we can take you out at any given point in time. Yeah, he wants peace, answer your question. He wants to be able to say, I've got peace there. But I think that, I don't think it's going to happen. I think that there is a group that's there that want to save face. And we also got to remember, we said that we don't see people out the streets that are celebrating. Well, because we're not inside there, they don't have internet. They're not letting those pictures come out the same way before we went in. They had killed when they had the first uprising before they shut down the internet. They killed almost like 130 of their people for protesting and saying we want to free them. So there's a lot we aren't seeing from inside Iran. And Iran, I think I've looked it up, it is a size of Texas, from Texas, think of it in these terms, from Texas, Tennessee, all the way to Maryland.

That's how large it is. Now that's not to say that it's populate. I don't know what the populate, I think it's the population is 9 billion people, but you have the terrain. I know. I think it's 90 million. 90 million. So you have this huge plateau of land that consists of mountain, mountainous regions. But that being said, it is still at one point a rather westernized, Middle Eastern country. So peace will be able to say it. I don't know. And then we have the Shah here, which to me is very frustrating. He keeps saying, you know, I'm ready to come in to take over. Okay, then do where's your, the group that's going to support you? But where are you going to go in there with you, with our troops and say, you got to respect him? No, if you feel that it's time for you to go in, then go in. If you have people that are there that support you, then they should be surrounding you. But I think this crazy military that they have, we need to just bomb them to Wazim. Get rid of that military.

That dude's comfortable here. He wants no backup. Back tires. Well, no, I do believe he wants to go there, but he wants to go there with us being his bodyguards. And that's not going to happen. You know, if you want to go to the Shah, wants to go back home, then you need to go home. Because he's been pushing this for quite some time. Well, the people are ready. It's time we need to strike. We need to strike. Okay, now we have done what we need to do. Why don't you get the people who support you and rise up? Why aren't you there? Are you afraid to be killed? You would think that he would go back home and say, okay, I'm going to set up the government. He's yet to do it. What's the delay? And I think that's the reason why Trump has not even engaged in having a conversation with him because he knows a guy is insurious. The he, this guy thinks that America is going to usher him in on a plane. We're going to be his, his bodyguards and say, you guys better not do anything to him. No, that's just not going to happen. No. If you want to go back and sit on the throne, then you need to get your own emissaries,

your own people and say, hey, guys, provide me shelter. I'm coming back and we're going to get this together. He hasn't done it. He wants us to do it. And that's not just simply not going to happen. Okay, it's not going to happen. So as far as Israel leaving before we leave, I think that there's a, I, I could see us, you know, taking a step back. I think the mission for the most part is done. I think the focus now is on the straight of our moves. I don't know why these countries won't come in and defend their own oil supply because we don't need that oil. Then you speak of the gas price of the gas price is what right now, three dollars? How much are you paying for gas right now, Andrew? 370. Okay. Well, couple of weeks ago, it was 280 and by and by and left office, it was 330. Okay. And then when he was in the middle of his office, it came gone all the way up to five dollars. Yes. So the price of gas is still low than when Biden was in office. And why now? And I think we spoke about this last week and the middle of his term, not when he left

office. Right. Well, because when he left office, he knew that things are going to be much better because he's out of there. But why is it? Why is it that the media is now focusing on the gas prices when they said nothing going to buy it? Remember, they were telling us shut up and pay it, food prices, shut up and pay it. This is a price you pay. It's like, are you serious? You're just a little shot. Well, come on. All that. That what was it? The stimulus money that you got. Oh, use that money. Go be quiet. Remember the one woman on, which was then MSNBC, gosh, I can't think of her name. But she came out and she gave this huge speech about, oh, be quiet and pay it. You got the stimulus money. That's what it's for. But now they want to talk about gas prices. When eggs were like eight dollars under Biden, because he wouldn't remember. He killed all the chickens. As opposed to serving the chickens that they had the bird flow. Now that I think I was able to buy 18 carons of eggs for $2.99, and then at Trader Joe,

I think it's gone back to $0.99 for $12. Now they want to talk about all the food prices and therein lies a problem. And I've set this many times that the media is definitely without a doubt, enemy of the people. Because there's so many of them with this left-wing media propaganda that they keep pushing, that they don't want to tell the truth. Therein lies the danger. Trump could cure cancer and they would still come out and find a problem with them. You look at the previous administration. You look at what it might and say, I told Iran, don't. I told Iran, no, I told them this. Even Barack Obama said that one of his regrets was that when the people started standing up and saying, help us, he didn't do anything. I remember when he went to Lebanon. I mean, he went to Lebanon and they gave him carte blanche, oh, go ahead, do what you got to do. And they said nothing. Is that where he had the line?

Well, no, the line was in, I think it was premier Syria. Syria, Syria, I think, yeah. And they said nothing. But he said, and I think we played this once, he said that he, you know, when the people were standing up, he regrets not standing up with them. Well, 2020 is always hindsight because he was afraid. And I get it, but hear me, I get it. I mean, that is a huge thing where you're taking men and women to war because those are the lives of families back home. That's out there. Now, yes, they signed the dotted line. Yes, they know what we, I hope they know what they're signing up for, many of them do. And they're okay for the risk. Under Biden, we saw the military decline because they were introducing DEI and all this other crazy stuff. Trump comes in, we saw it increase. And what I find interesting is the same people who are going in, the majority of the time, other people that the left will say, oh, you're racist, oh, you're retinetic, you're

them. But they're willing to defend their country, no matter what, they know the cost. So while it seems that they take it lightly, when people were going into war, you know that someone's child could get killed. You remember when Trump was in office? And I think we had military men who were killed and he did a round table and he invited them all to come to the White House. And the media, oh, I can imagine he's not going to know what to say, he's not this, and then he spoke to this one black woman and she said, you know, I thought the same thing, but he was compassionate and he was sincere and he'd listen. And the media didn't want to play that. I mean, some of them wouldn't even have her on their show. And I think we ran this on a, we ran what she had said on one of the podcast, go back and look at our podcast, we might have even done a live taping that because this was during the first term on mega media, we go and look that on YouTube, but she said, no, he was the most compassionate person.

Now compare that to Joe Biden, the Phil with the draw off of Afghanistan. And when he met the soldiers coming off the airplane, he was checking his watch and he was doing everything besides, considering this like a very solemn moment. And then when he invited them to the White House, the first thing he did was to bring up his son Joe, I mean, uh, Bo, well, you know, I know when it's filled up because my son, Bo did not die in Afghanistan or in the military action. And the media danced right over it and there are a lot of people who are completely unaware of it. There are a lot of young people, the future voters who are completely unaware of Joe's behavior. They look at him, know that he's absent minded, the absent minded professor, but they look at him and think that, wow, this is what a leader should look like. And you know why because they want to round when real leaders existed, they want to round when real leaders exhibited themselves like leaders.

They came when Barack Obama was here, Barack Obama wanted to be cool. He wanted to be the cool kid on campus. He wanted where the dark shaved. He wanted to speak in staccato, not where, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm able to put together a complete thought, guarded and what do you say? It's like, oh, well, he's the greatest. Then when you have a leader who comes in, the whole bar like a general and just like, just hit the ground running and doing this and doing that and all they could say, oh my God, he's horrible. He did this. Are you serious? Are you that sensitive? And then you got Joe Biden, the absent minded professor. They don't know about this and they're not being taught at school. They're being taught about DEI and how to be an activist, but real leadership, studying how previous presidents governed the decisions that they had to make, going to war, not to go to war, that heavy decision weighing on them, they know nothing about it. Some of them probably think, oh, I can do that.

He didn't know I can do it. But do you actually think they could do it? Absolutely not, Andrew. They could do it. And we didn't even know where to start and do it. But this is where we are. Yeah.

And we're back with the last half of the show. And I want to conclude the show talking about the Oscars.

I didn't watch the Oscars. I haven't watched the Oscars in a very long time because I feel that Hollywood, now known as Holly Woke or Holly Weird, has become just that weird and woke. So for those of you who did watch it, just hear me out in my comments about the Oscars. Now, I went on, I think it was last Saturday and I was talking about the Oscars. There's a bit of a controversy that was brewing with the actors competing for best supporting, not best supporting, but best actor. And the two of them, they were like, I think about a four, but the main two who were leading the pack was Timothy, Shanelette, and Michael B. Jordan. Timothy is a white male, and Michael B. Jordan is a black male.

So they were both, they had surpassed the others in the polymarkets as far as being the odds on favorites to take it home. And I think right toward the end of February, Timothy had pulled ahead. If you don't know Timothy, he was in the movie, call me by my name. He wasn't the Oscar for that. But in call me by my name, he played opposite this other actor, and they were both gay. I mean, I didn't see the movie, I don't want to see the movie, but Holly would just relish in the movie that it was like the heaven guard of the movies. And they thought, oh man, this guy, he's just so, you know, the scene, these two straight actors playing gay, and they loved it. So every since then, he had become the it boy. Michael B. Jordan had become somewhat of an it boy because he was young up and coming. And a lot of people, they were rooting for him.

They wanted him in this movie. But he, he wasn't the odds on favorite. Up until when Timothy Shemale gave an interview, was on a podcast, and he said that they disparaging comments to Matthew McConney, hey, about ballet and opera, and he was just giving his opinion, just saying that, you know, he didn't like it and may not did that set the internet social media on fire. This gave them the, what they needed to go after him, they wanted to go after him, they made it like him. And it's like how dare he say, say something, you know, so disparaging about the ballet

and opera. And I think the comment, this was in a podcast interview that he did with Matthew McConney, hey, I think it was February 28th or so. And the last day for people to vote for the Oscars was March 6th. So once he made those comments, it went like wildfire across social media. Someone was talking about it. They were saying, oh my God, how could he say this is bad, this is bad, all this is an art, yada yada yada, just a comment. They dragged this man through the mud. Remember, this guy played gay for them and called me by my name with the actor Arnie Hammer. They also got rid of him because they said he was male showbiz, but anyway, so they started trying to rehabilitate Timothy, his PR people. Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan, he started to like, his number started to go up. And people are like, oh my God, he could possibly get the black guy's going to get the Oscar.

So again, the media in concert, the liberal media, they did all they could to dirty Timothy Shamillet and lo and behold, comes Oscar night, Michael B. Jordan takes home the Oscar. Oh, and one more little tick bit, the ballerina, Ms. Copeland, who recently retired, she's black and she just had hip surgery. She came out to perform at the Oscars, a little ballet routine. If you're following along, if you've been looking at this, you know where I'm going with this. This is so typical of these liberal cards. It's just so typical. So this gut man, Timothy probably would have taken home the Oscar, how they not created this dirt campaign against to pull him back so that the black man, Michael B. Jordan could win. So to me, they're almost saying that might be Jordan, you're talented, but your average,

you're not that good. We got to help you out because this is the mindset of liberals, they've always got to help black people out because you know, they fall, they fall short, they don't quite make it. There's always a shortage just there. And if they've got to like, we got to push them on to make certain that we help them. Really? I mean, that's what DEI is all about. We got to give them a leg up because they're too dumb and too not, they're not smart enough to do it on them, their own. This is a whole thing with DEI. We've got to like, lower the standards and lower expectation of black people. And order for Michael to win. So in my opinion, this Oscar will always be tainted with the what ifs. What if Timothy statement was just taken at face value, it's just being a statement, okay, he doesn't like ballet, he doesn't like opera.

And what does it have to do with his performance in the movie, think it was Marty? Michael B. George's movie, some vampire movie centers. I didn't watch either movie. I've heard about centers supposed to be some vampire movie, dust to dawn. There was another movie that came out supposed to mimic that with all black cast and dealing with racism vampires on a plantation. I don't know. I didn't watch it. I didn't want to watch it. But again, his Oscar win will always be tainted because he will go down into history as one of the Oscar that Timothy Shyamalan probably would have won had he not made the comments about ballet and the opera. Wow. They always mess it up for black people. Never let us win it on our own. And you know, you got to think about it since the beginning of the Oscar has been around for I think 98 years and only eight blacks have won black men. The one in Oscar and makes you wonder.

And then for this kid, Timothy Shyamalan, I don't have a dog in this. I mean, I don't think he's necessarily some great actor. He's young and as always, whenever there's a young up and coming actor or actress out there, the left wants to push them out and makes certain that they get an Oscar, whether or not they deserve it, whether or not they get they're going to push them out there. Look at Jennifer Lawrence, mediocre actress. She's one in Oscar, Brad Cooper, Bradley Cooper. He's a mediocre actor. Oh, we got to make sure that he win an Oscar. You look at the time frame that they won the Oscar. You see them in every freaking movie as if there was no one else out there to be picked to be in a movie. And all their performances, oh, it was so great. It was spectacular when it was just average at best. This is the same thing with Timothy. Now, again, I haven't seen the movie, but to me, average actor compared to some of the greats who have won Oscars. And maybe also, as I mentioned, Timothy played gay for them and called me by my name six,

eight years ago. And at the time, he was looking like an undrozeness man. You can tell if he was a woman or a female. Now when you look at him, he has a little, you know, scoff around the face, facial hair, trying to make him more masculine if they can. He's skinny and puny. Maybe they didn't like that. Maybe they wanted him to go back to being that little undrozeness looking man, because that's what the left is into. Mark will be Jordan, like I said, the black guy muscular. He seems to be, you know, masculine enough, but they wanted him to win because of his skin color. And they felt that he couldn't do it on his own unless they helped him. Wow. This is a world we live in. In talking with the Oscar, oh, and did you know that the Oscar has a new qualification rules? Is the DEI rule that in order to submit a movie for an Oscar, you got to make certain

that you meet certain criteria with race, gender, got to have a couple amount of blacks, couple amount of whites. Well, we don't care about the whites, blacks, Hispanics, genders, got to have some trends. Look it up. It's crazy. You see, this is what the love bring you to as opposed to the merit. And getting things because of your talent. And when you look at it, the Oscar has been who controls it, liberals. So liberals have to set expectations for themselves in order for them to be open-minded, because they know that they won't be. You look at the entire fashion industry, you look at modeling. They always gravitate toward the white skinny white girl. Why not the black girl? Why not the Hispanic girl? So they have to police themselves and tell them what we got to do is we got to make certain, because we know that we're races, but we don't want people to know that we're races. We're going to blame other people, because we're going to say, we have these Godlies. But if you're not racist, you don't need those Godlies. You just choose it on the merit.

But they don't, and they won't. Continuing with the Oscar, Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda, and Memoria. This is when they remember actors and actresses who've died. Why did they leave out a couple of actors and actresses? The guy from Dawson Creek, he wasn't there. Jane Hackman was missing, and then that was an actor. Jane Hackman. Man, did he act? But why do they select that they'll pick some actors, and then others they don't, and then they try to like, well, we didn't because of this, it's like, look, they die within that timeframe, just put their pictures up there. If there's always a controversy, and they do the same thing with the Grammys, they'll showcase some and not showcase others. It doesn't make sense. And that's the reason why people don't, they stop watching these shows. It's like they purposefully leave certain people out and include others.

It's like, why would you not include all the actors and the actresses that die within that year, that timeframe? You've got enough time to put their pictures here. Why wouldn't you put them there? Because they want the controversy, they want people to talk about it. Now, they did include the guy, meet him, Rob Winer, because he was a big liberal. He supported their causes. Oh, he would come out and say all this crazy stuff, he's the guy who was killed by a son, not too long ago. Oh, they had him there. And they each actually had Barbara Streitzen, who she came out and she sang a song the way we were in honor of Robert Rutford. Well, Jane Fonda didn't like that, because Jane Fonda said, well, why would they have Barbara Streitzen to honor him? She was only in one movie with him, while Jane Fonda claimed that she was in four.

And did you see Jane's face lay off of the plastic surgery? I think she's 84 or 88, lay off the plastic surgery. A lot of these folks lay off the plastic surgery, it's like everyone in Hollywood, they're starting to look alike with all this plastic surgery, lay off, Bradley Cooper had plastic surgery on his eyes. It's like just age gracefully stay out of the sun and age gracefully. You would think they would do it, but I guess not. Man, these people, but that's Hollywood for you. Going on, no, let's talk about the outfits. For the most part from what I could see, they were all clothed, the women, because usually the women will come out half dressed. Go figure, though we were see through clothes or they were wearing a small thin strip of cloth to cover up their private parts. And then women say, don't objectify us. We want you to look us for our brains, our smart, well, how can we do that if you get

your whole body out front and center? You see this at the gym, and I've spoken about this before, you have women going to the gym wearing like bikinis. I know you see it on the beach, but at a gym when you're getting in all these positions, and then you'll get run in front of a guy, then don't look at me. Are you serious? You've got it all in front of him. So this is what the women do at Oscars at these award shows. They come out barely wearing anything, and then, oh, don't look at me that way. You're looking at me like a meat. Well, that's what you got out there. That's what you're selling. Put some clothes on. Come on. Now, sticking of clothes, did you see the actor Pedro Pascal? What he had on, some wide ensemble with this huge look of flower on the side. I am so sick of man dressing feminine. Bring back masculinity. I just, one actor just needs to come out like James Calvale. It's like, I'm not doing this. I'm not, I'm not playing that game.

I'm a man. I want to be tough. I want to be rough. That's who I am. I mean, everyone wants to be feminine. Everyone wants to be soft. Oh, where are we going to get the man? Everyone can't be female. Reminds me of this guy, Michael Jordan saw it. DJ, but not Michael Jordan, but Michael Johnson, magic, Johnson, Michael, magic, Johnson, EJ. This knucklehead is coming out saying that he only attracts straight man. Are you serious? And he's supposed to be a trans, by the way, EJ, Johnson, dude. If you're attracting anyone, it's a gay man. No straight male. It's going to be seen. I mean, humping with you, are you, oh my god, these people are insane, but this is, again, this is Hollywood or Hollywood. Go look the guy up, EJ Johnson. He's delusional. I mean, next up, we'll have this other guy who will be doing the exact same thing that Gabrielle Jungin's husband, his son, Zaya, claims that he's a woman.

And why aren't women pushing back? Dwayne Wade. I can't think of his name. Dwayne Wade's son, Zaya, claiming to be a woman. Why aren't women pushing back? They talk about standing up for themselves. They talk about the feminist movement, but you're allowing man into your spaces. You're allowing man to pretend to be women. You're allowing man to take things that you're supposed to get. You're allowing man in women's sports. You're allowing man to parade around like women. And then you'll have women saying, oh, that's so cute. Are you serious? That's the reason why people say women can't lead because you're too emotional. There's a movie on HBO right now dealing with military, two men, secretly in love. It's supposed to be like the one of the top-rated shows on HBO, and guess who likes it, women. What happened to the regular romance, like on the Hallmog station? While you're climbing over two men, bugging each other.

You see how the lip, the left, it's just like clotted your minds, and have you think that this is okay, this is acceptable? Out with the usual romance of a man and a woman, now it's oh, two men. Oh, we think it's so endearing. There's something wrong with you. There's something wrong. What folks, that's all that happened now. Just wanted to, like I said, didn't watch it, but these were some of the hot takes that I saw that stood out, and I'm like, I need to talk about it. I'm glad you could join us tonight on After Dark on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network. This is the end of the show. I hope you're joining us tomorrow night, where we will continue the discussion as to what is happening, the latest event or the latest news. Good night and God bless.
