Hour 3 of NMN, Trump Talks Uranium + To the Moon

Good morning to your friends and hope you are doing well. Joan, we were talking in the previous segment about just what could happen if the Supreme Court does indeed decide that they are going to uphold the birthright citizenship. What can the opponents do? What can those people do? People like us who believe that we need to take a serious look at birthright citizenship, the only thing they can do, it looks like to me, is pursue a constitutional amendment. You know what that requires? I had to go back and look at this. Two thirds of Congress and three quarters of states. Wow. That ain't gonna happen. No. That ain't gonna happen. Nope. Attempted legislative redefinition, shift focus to related immigration policies, and really, I mean, some other ancillary things, but really that's it. And whatever the president does, the left drags it through a court, finding a judge that will rule in their favor anyway. I mean, it just- Did I read, and I probably missed this, I didn't, I've read the headline, I didn't really delve into the story much, but a judge actually stopped the building of the new ballroom? Yes. So, locked it. On what justification? On what grounds it's already halfway done? Saying that he needed congressional approval to change the White House, which no president has ever had to do. There have been many changes to the White House. Look what Obama did. Remember when Obama did all those adjustments to the White House? I don't understand. Oh my goodness gracious. It's never, it has never been required that they go to Congress to make a change to the White House. But now they're going to do it. And it's not even utilizing taxpayer funds. Right. This is all privately, private donations. Oh, when they say that that's the most egregious part of this, is that big companies are the ones paying for it. So the big companies are gonna be the ones that will take advantage using the ballroom to their pleasure. So what are they gonna do? Just leave a big old hole in the ground? I think this is so frustrating, obviously. Well, they say that that's the president's fault. He did that. They're ridiculous. Yeah, no idea. They'll take it further that of course they're gonna appeal, the Trump administration will appeal this. It'll get dragged through courts again. But it's that lag of time and that big open side of the White House that makes it vulnerable to attack. Yep, there is that part of it too. The whole thing just, the perpetual roadblocks that Donald Trump and by the way, now that they know how to do this, that clearly the Democrats know how to do this in dealing with Donald Trump, whether it's Marco Rubio or JD Vance, if they win the presidency in 2028, they're gonna get the same treatment. They're gonna get the same treatment because now the Democrats just, they have refined this to an art form in using leftist judges to block anything the conservatives wanna do. And we better do the same thing. If they end up winning the White House in 2028, Lord help us, they better be prepared. The Republicans better be prepared to do the same thing. I didn't really feel like they did enough to stop Joe Biden during Biden's four years. Look at all that he was able to do to destroy the country in four years time. So, I mean, we'll have to see what happens with this case, but the president is gonna lose valuable time in trying to get the ballroom built. And so I don't know how long it'll take. We'll have to wait and see. Is there any kind of a timeline, Joan? Has that been reported? For the ballroom? Yeah, to go through all of the legal processes that the president now has to go through. No. Is there, all right. No. What a mess. Yep. What an absolute mess. By the way, I need to say, powered this morning by Wally's Bean Machine, Upgrade Your Office's coffee service at Wally'sBeanMachine.com. And I apologize for you people that heard me slurping a few minutes ago. I actually went to go get some Wally's because I'm dragging just a little bit today. You know what? That sounds like a good idea. I'll be right back. All right, very good, Joan. President Trump, speaking of dragging, I bet you the president is a little tired as well. He had a long night last night. He gave a prime time address related to the war on Iran. We'll talk a little bit about this, including some of the things that the president said, what he didn't say, and so forth. But this is part of what he said as it relates to how long this could go. I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong. Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home. The short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons and the country has been eviscerated and essentially is really no longer a threat. They were the bully of the Middle East, but they're the bully no longer. So that is President Trump last night. You heard the headline two to three weeks is what he is saying. Yesterday we told you that the president had announced on Truth Social that Iran had asked for a ceasefire. So then Iran of course comes back and we absolutely called this. They came back and as we predicted, they said, no, there's not been a request for a ceasefire. Trump said, and not until the Strait of Hormuz is opened back up, will they get a ceasefire that Iran says that they didn't ask for? I don't know if they asked for a ceasefire or not. I truly don't. But here's the deal is that this might be an instance where Donald Trump is doing that 4D chess thing because remember when President Trump, and I said this a few weeks ago too, but when President Trump does these things, like he'll say, oh yeah, Iran has asked for a ceasefire. Part of that might be a war of narrative that he is playing with Iran inside of their own country because when the president says something like that, okay, we all here in America, we know President Trump and we might take it with a grain of salt at this point, but the people in Iran, they're hearing that and that maybe may bring some doubt into the effectiveness of their government within the nation of Iran. So there might be a method to Donald Trump's madness. I don't know, but here's the deal. The Revolutionary Guard said that there was no ask for a ceasefire and that the Strait of Hormuz was under their control. But we keep hearing these stories about how there are ships that are now going through the Strait of Hormuz and so my question is okay, well is the reason why these ships are going through the Strait of Hormuz? Is that because again, the Iranians are trying to convince Donald Trump that yes, we are trying to be good partners in a good faith negotiation. There's more from Donald Trump, here's more of what he said last night in his prime time address. As we speak this evening, it's been just one month since. Hi, I'm Joe Salci, I host of the Stacking Benjamin's podcast. Most economists agree small amount of inflation is actually good, 2% is what you're going for. But why is everybody freaking out? Oh, because it's the fallout, people don't track their budget. You have this slow slipping that happens every month. To all of a sudden you go, man, I don't have any money. The reason is now two people go to a restaurant, the bill is 60 bucks for two. Two guys walking to a restaurant. They start screaming. It's hilarious. $60. Stacking Benjamin's, follow and listen on your favorite platform. The United States military began operation Epic Fury, targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield. Victories like few people have ever seen before. Tonight, Iran's Navy is gone. Their air forces in ruins. Their leaders, most of them, terrorist regime they led are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak. Yep, and so the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, they do maintain a strong force. You know, we do keep hearing that they're having a lot of people flee. You know, a lot of the men in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard have decided that they're going to essentially leave that if they can and because a lot of defections, if you will, because they're tired of being under attack. You know, for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, it's a lot easier to gun down or kill one way or another, a bunch of innocent civilians who are simply protesting versus having to deal with the full might of the military of Israel and the United States. And so they are controlling, though, the Strait of Hormuz. They are said to be running the government right now, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. They do continue to launch drones and they're attacking nations within their reach. And so, yes, this right now has got to be the focus, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. They got to figure out a way, and I don't want to see ground troops in there, but sometimes, unfortunately, that is what you have to do. And if we really do want to make any real true progress in Iran, we have to take care of the IRGC. Going over some select cuts of Donald Trump's address to the nation last night, and he did a couple of things. Number one is he justified going into Iran, and he basically told us what's next. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, and their weapons factories and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces. Very few of them left. Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks. Our enemies are losing in America, as it has been for five years under my presidency, as winning and now winning bigger than ever before. Before discussing this current situation, I also want to thank our troops for the massable job they did in taking the country of Venezuela in a matter of minutes. That it was quick, lethal, violent, and respected by everyone all over the world. Yep, and a couple of things, very true. Yes, prayers and thoughts for the troops, and yes, from a military standpoint, this has been an amazing run for the American military. And again, there's gonna be a difference, and people are gonna argue about this, so the cows come home. But there is a difference between a military victory and a political victory. And so now the question is, how do we define exactly what a political victory would be? I spoke earlier, just a few moments ago, about how I believe that it is incredibly important to deal with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, because whatever military is left within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, if there is a leader that we approve of, but they don't, well, I hate to break it to you, but the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, they are in Iran, and they can take out whatever leader we deem, someone that we can work with. Well, they can take that person out in a heartbeat. So that's the problem, that's the political problem that the president will continue to face. I thought that President Trump did do a good job of selling this war, and I thought that he also did a good job of really stating where we are right now and where we're going. Tonight I wanna provide an update on the tremendous progress our warriors have made in Iran and discuss why Operation Epic Fury is necessary for the safety of America and the security of the free world. From the very first day I announced my campaign for president in 2015, I avowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This vernacular regime has been chanting death to America, death to Israel for 47 years. Their proxies were behind the murder of 241 Americans and the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our service members with roadside bombs. They were involved in the attack on the USS Cole, and they carried out the countless other heinous acts, including the blood, just horrible, bloody atrocities of October 7th in Israel, something that most people have never seen anything like it. Yeah, that is the president last night. I mean, just going through the tick list, right? Yeah, I think he did a good job of demonizing Iran because it's very easy to do because the Iranian government is evil and they are, among other things, I find them demonic. They've spent billions funding the terrorists. We all know that Joe Biden unfroze the $6 billion that had been sanctioned, Obama, of course, $400 million in pallets of cash. That was all part of that dispute over weapons. And so, yeah, Democrats, they have not helped the situation with Iran. As a matter of fact, in my opinion, they have actually fueled Iran's reign of terror, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. One of the things that Biden did, of course, again, is he looked the other way on the sanctions that the Trump administration put in place, Joe Biden looked the other way, so that they could sell all of that oil. So, I'm beginning to feel like the Democrats, they just, they like terrorism. That's what it feels like to me. They like terrorism and they have absolutely no problem with governments like Iran, short of a John Federman, but governments like Iran being able to fuel terrorism. Unfortunately, that's becoming part of the Democrat brand. This murderous regime also recently killed 45,000 of their own people who were protesting in Iran, 45,000 dead for these terrorists who have nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat. The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest, and mass murder from behind. A nuclear shield, I will never let that happen, and neither should any of our past presidents. This situation has been going on for 47 years and should have been handled long before I arrived in office. Do you know what my worry is? One of my big worries is that we're gonna take care of Iran. I'm gonna air quote this, once and for all, but then you're gonna get a Democrat in office and all of a sudden you're gonna see all of this, all of these policies that would allow Iran to continue to do horrendous things. Like cash on pallets. Like cash on pallets, like ignoring sanctions. Now, here's the thing though. If the president is able to do what he wants to do with Iran, he didn't really talk much about regime change last night per se, but if he's able to do what he wants to do and sort of get Iran on this road of straight and narrow, then none of these other things will be necessary, but if we obliterate Iran and then we're able to take care of the bad guys in Iran and there's a lot of them, well, a Democrat could come in and take his eye off the ball of Iran and all of a sudden all of that, all of that funding of terrorism and the harsh crackdown on rights and freedoms in Iran is gonna start to percolate back up because we won't have somebody like Donald Trump keeping their eye on the ball and the Democrats will just lead us back to right where we were before Donald Trump went in. Does that make sense? Yeah, it's like I just, I have no faith in the Democrats at this point regarding anything as it relates to border security, geopolitical security on a worldwide scale, dealing with China. I mean, I could go on and on. So the Democrats, they just, number one, they don't have it in them. Number two, they don't believe in peace through strength and that is the problem with the Democrat party by and large. I mean, one of many problems with the Democrat party. All right, it is 724. Coming up, what did Donald Trump say about uranium? Joan, is she over there? No, I'm not. All right, good. Hey, when you get back, tell me. No, just kidding. What up? I just realized the president didn't say anything about NATO last night. He did not. He was supposed to remember, he was supposed to come out and he was gonna obliterate Iran. Shake a fist. And he was gonna go after NATO and nothing. No. Nothing on NATO, okay, very good. But yesterday he was saying, called them a paper tiger. He sure did. He called them a paper tiger. He was angry because we have all of these NATO countries that are not helping. And not only are they not helping, but they're hindering. Yeah. They won't let us fly over their airspace. They won't let us use the bases. Yeah, they won't let us use the bases. I mean, it's crazy. So, I mean, Trump was loaded for bear hours before this speech and then I don't know if somebody got to him and said, you need to chill out on NATO or what happened, but he was ready to go. Well, I think conversely, maybe he's not saying anything to leave him hanging. That's a great point, Joan. You know? Because he is the, I don't know, there is truth to the whole Donald Trump plays, four-way chess or whatever it is. I know people hate that phrase, but too bad. I mean, that's what he's doing. And he's done it all his life. I will say this about that. There are times when Donald Trump is playing four-way chess. There's other times when he just says stupid stuff. You know what I mean? Yes. So two things can be true. And then when I say Donald Trump has a tendency at times to say stupid stuff, people get mad at me and they say, oh no, he's playing four-way chess. It's like, no, he's not. He's just saying something stupid, whatever. I don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. So, and by the way, if you want to talk about saying stupid stuff, let's talk about Joe Biden all day long. I mean, don't even get me started on that. Anyway, whatever. So last night, the president did talk about uranium. Now, we've been going through the whole process of uranium enrichment and so on and so forth. And the president has been giving some conflicting messages about uranium in Iran. Now, if you've been listening to me, you know that uranium, you need it, enriched it to about 90% to manufacture a nuclear weapon. The Iranians have managed to enrich it to about 60%, which is incredibly alarming because it is a very quick jump to 90%. And so in the past, the president has said that either we need to be able to control the uranium, abscond with the uranium, maybe a third party needs to hold the uranium for Iran. This is what he said specifically last night about the uranium that Iran holds. This is audio only, by the way, audio only. The nuclear sites that we obliterated with the B-2 bombers have been hit so hard that it would take months to get near the nuclear dust. And we have it under intense satellite surveillance and control. If we see them make a move, even a move for it, we'll hit them with missiles very hard again. We have all the cards, they have none. So that is Donald Trump basically talking about the uranium, nuclear dust and so forth. And I think some people are talking about what Donald Trump, we just were actually, John, what was not said during Donald Trump's speech. I think he's probably holding some things closer to the vest. I think that when he didn't mention anything about ground troops going into Iran, I actually like that he's not giving the entire military playbook, I mean, let's be honest, a lot of us criticized Joe Biden when he gave a very specific timeline as far as getting out of Afghanistan, for example. And so I think the president, he is certainly known to have some surprises up his sleeve. And this may be one of those moments, where people have to wait and ultimately see what happens. You said the markets, Joan, where are the, you know, it's funny, Joan, I think I asked you this question the same exact moment yesterday. Maybe. Where are the markets right now? This isn't your average podcast. This pot is about to be crazy, I don't even know what's gonna happen. This is full send. It's just like a boy scrap. Join the party. We threw like a spontaneous party out of nowhere, it was crazy and we pulled off a crazy prank. Pranks, parties and viral culture just seeing like the guys that you brought in and like seeing their different personalities and stuff. It's been entertaining, dude. This could be the greatest content building of all time. The full send podcast. Dude, let's get ready to rumble. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Let's do it. The futures. Not looking good. So the Dow futures are down 646 right now. Okay, the Dow is down 646. The Dow futures, yeah. Okay. The market doesn't open for another like hour. So, and at the same time, oil is rising. So we have the same dichotomy that's gone on for weeks now because of what's happening in the Middle East. This will all settle down and it will work out. And when it does, we'll have days like yesterday where we, or the day before I guess, where we were up 1,100 points. Right, I mean, I don't get too excited when the market is down. I don't get too excited when the market goes up. I know that you gotta be in this for the long game. And when the market's down, some people would say, well, heck, that's a moment to buy, right? So there's all kinds of different ways to look at it. But me personally, I want gasoline prices to go down just like everybody else. And I'll tell you what, if this, and I said this yesterday, if this works out the way Trump wants it to work out and we all want it to work out, then I think that gas prices will go down, inflation will plummet, and our 401ks perhaps will go back up. It is 742 on Super Talk 997, WTN. I don't know about anybody else, but watching the whole Artemis II mission begin really was captivating. And here we go. 10, nine, eight, seven, RS 25 inches. Four, three, two, one, booster ignition, and lift off. Just amazing. And I'm gonna be perfectly honest. I wasn't really all that interested in this story until I saw how intrigued and excited Riker and Amy, Riker's all into space. So Riker and Amy were really excited about this whole thing. I love that she hangs out with them and encourages that, both of you. I think that's so wonderful. Absolutely, and so they were cheering as I was trying to sleep in the other room and whatever. So this is the first crewed flight of NASA's Artemis program. Eventually this is gonna lead us to future lunar landings. It's gonna last 10 days. They're going to loop around the moon and then come back. Eventually they wanna go, I guess it's what, 4,700 miles beyond the moon's far side. It's the farthest any human has ever attempted to go. Do you know that we're gonna actually lose contact with them for a period of time? I forget the window, maybe five or 10 minutes, that will lose contact with the astronauts because they'll be on the far side of the moon and the moon will be in the way of communications. So what you're saying is we'll see them on the dark side of the moon. That's correct, you little Pink Floyd fan, you. I was wondering, I was, Joan, you'll be proud of me. Yeah. I was bound and determined not to make the Pink Floyd joke because I knew that Sam would. And lo and behold, Sam did not disappoint. Well, if you think about what they're currently dealing with right now, the plumbing restrictions, yeah, we're already seeing the dark side of the moon inside the cabin. So if you did not hear our five o'clock hour, Joan, do we have an update on the toilet troubles in the Orion, which is what the name of the ship is called? In case you missed the five o'clock hour, the one toilet, it's got some troubles. It's having number one problems, only number one. It's having number one problems, not number two. They apparently have backup systems, but they can't use the, how much, Sam, can you Google, how much did this toilet cost? Like I'm dying to know that the toilet, which no doubt was millions of dollars to make, is not working. They can only use it for number two, not number one. Now, long as a lot of the other stuff works, here's what they're doing. Cause I heard some conversation yesterday about, why is it that we're going up to the moon yet again? Oh my God. How much? Okay. So, quick side note, Big Bang Theory fans, Howard Walowitz builds a toilet for NASA. That was part of the plot in the show. Okay. So this is part of the universal waste management system, or UWMS, a compact titanium based waste system designed for microgravity. NASA spent $23 million to develop the UWMS. This figure covers the design production of two units, one tested on the space station, and the second adapted for the Orion capsule. 23 million and it doesn't work. Yeah. Wow. It's just a little problem with the fan. It handles. The fan probably $3 million. A little component. Can we find out how much the fan, which is the thing that's not working, how much did that cost? It was 23 million for the pair. So they made two toilets. One was installed on the ISS in 2020. The other one has been fitted for Orion for this mission. Okay. It handles human matter simultaneously using air flow. It includes privacy features and fits the tight confines of the Orion spacecraft. I can't find anything about the, oh it has an odor control. Whoever said that science writers don't have a good sense of humor, listen to this. It's from space.com. They said there was a bit of a toilet trouble on NASA's Artemis II mission to the moon. It wasn't their number one problem, but it was a problem for going number one. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. Apparently right now the Orion spacecraft is 44,000 miles from Earth, 223,000 miles from the moon. So why are they going up there? They went and- So listen, okay, I have good audio on this. Okay, go ahead. So this is, his name is Hakim and I'm gonna butcher his last name. Something like Oluciae. He's an astrophysicist and he spoke to ABC News about the mission of going to the moon. Ultimately, we wanna get up to a cadence where we can redo it over and over again. We wanna have a permanent presence on the moon. At first, we were just illustrating we can do it. Now we're setting up infrastructure and we're gonna take advantage of it and drive economy. And drive economy. Like that's so crazy to me. They're gonna drive economy on the moon. Well, it's full of resources. Yeah, I guess. Let me see. Let me find, since we're talking about this, let's see, Elon Musk, you know, Elon Musk previously was not about this trip. He was not into the Artemis II mission. He was actually on record as saying this is a dumb idea. But now he is in it all the way. Because of what you're talking about with the economy and so forth. He wants to be on the moon within the next 10 years. An actual self-growing city on the moon within the next 10 years. He wants to use SpaceX to focus the building of that self-growing city. Other thing he wants to do, and this ties into what you guys are talking about, he wants to build what they call space clouds that will utilize space-based solar power to fuel AI generation, storage and transmission. Oh. This is from the Daily Mail. So the cloud becomes an actual cloud? Yeah. So Kamala Harris was right about the cloud. Do you remember when she said that? It goes into the cloud. Yes, okay. Kamala Harris was before her time, apparently. Apparently. They say this is from the Daily Mail. Thanks to his successful Falcon 9 reusable rocket program, Elon Musk remains ahead of the Chinese, which have yet to develop a rocket capable of the repeat launches required to reliably and affordably offshore AI infrastructure into orbit. So this isn't some silly ego trip for Donald Trump, which what, believe it or not, some people on the left are saying. I know. This is about something much bigger. And by the way, this is also a space race because China, they have been trying to do something on the moon and their goal was 2030. Our goal is 2028. We want to be on the moon by 2028. Because remember, what we're doing right now, we're like flying around the moon and we're seeing how our equipment and our humans react to being, I guess, that close to the moon and how our equipment reacts as well and how it works being that close to the moon. And so we're sort of testing things right now. If all goes well, then we'll be on the moon by 2028. And within a few years, we'll have a little AI city on the moon, which I think would be pretty cool. And if all goes according to plan, China's goal, again, is 2030, ours is 2028. So it's a big, you know what that is, Joan? That is a big rocket-sized middle finger to China. That's what that is. See, I'm afraid they're gonna get around the backside of the moon on this trip and realize that China already has a rockin' city on the other side. Oh, can you imagine? I hope they don't. I hope they don't, too. But I could totally see that happening because that's just how China is. I thought she was gonna say something else that they would find on the other side of the moon. I thought she was gonna say something like there would be a horde of Nephilim or something, like something dark, evil spirits. I thought she was going with that. No. No, best we can hope for is a working toilet, apparently. Vince Colonies is redefining news talk. I'm Vince Colonies host of the Vince podcast.
