From high atop, Fox News headquarters in New York City, always seeking solutions, never sowing to fission.

0:12.5

It's Brian Kilmead.

0:15.2

Hi, everyone back in action.

0:16.6

Thanks so much for listening, and we have a big show coming your way.

0:20.0

I've got some great guests lined up. Of course, to add some insight and interest for you. And I know you're passionate about what's happening in politics as well as what's happening around the globe, especially as it has to do with this war in Iran. I'm going to get to Jonathan Chanzer shortly. He's one of the key officers at the Department of Defense of Democracy, he's real military expert.

0:38.4

But five straight days, we have bombed significant targets inside Iran while trying to reopen the straight.

0:44.4

But there's a strategy and game plan to this.

0:46.8

Many people argue, and some will look back and say, maybe we shouldn't have stopped to begin with,

0:50.9

but the president wanted to give the ceasefire chance and the memorandum

0:54.2

of understanding a chance to see if it could go anywhere. But the MOU, in my view, has made

0:58.9

everything worse. It was a terrible document and had a lot of gray area to it. Iran, that evil

1:04.6

regime has taken advantage of that because of that. Holding onto the straight, you look at what it

1:09.1

says on Article 5 of that deal. They think they can hold onto the straight if you look at that and we'll discuss that later. Also, J.D. Vance hopped on with Joe Rogan for three hours. Okay, you got to sell a book and your vice president. You could do interviews. But I did read in Axios that he was originally supposed to meet with Republicans in the morning, but he had to push out at the afternoon,

1:27.8

I guess, because he was on with Joe Rogan, at which time he made it pretty clear.

1:32.5

He thinks the Epstein files was poorly handled by the administration.

1:36.5

He wanted everything out right away, really?

1:38.7

There's a downside to that because the president was friends with Epstein for a while

1:42.5

because he was a financier living in Palm Beach

1:45.4

and there's a fellow billionaire. That's what they do. They're not hanging out with me and you.

1:49.6

They hang out with each other. And then when he turned out to be a pedophile, went to jail and

1:53.3

the president a long time ago, say goodbye to the guy. But they knew that if you release all the

1:59.3

files, the president's name's all over that because like he was friends with him. And then they had a huge falling out. But that's not going to be in context with his political enemies. But still, J.D. Vance was on with Joe Rogan. He came out and said that. All right. Did you think that through? The other thing he came out and made it clear that he blames Israel.
