Is This The End For Iran? + NASA's Jared Isaacman

If you're in an Iranian warship, get that white flag up there, because it's a wrap.

**Josh Holmes** (0:05)
It's really something to hear a general describe in great detail what it is they're going to do, and then go do it.

**John Ashbrook** (0:14)
Donald Trump, I think, has found a rational, sober, third way of American foreign policy that knows the limitations of what America's military can do, but uses that power when it can.

**Michael Duncan** (0:25)
The entire messaging of the left, of the Democrat Party now, is America's bad eye will always take the other side of America in every possible opportunity. Any position to take against America, they will take it. What the left now is, is just anti-America.

Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet. Now, they're messing with your credit card. Your credit card and the security it offers are under attack. The Durbin Marshall credit card bill would change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards keep your payments secure and provide rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer protections. That means higher risk of fraud, greater chance of stolen personal data and the loss of rewards programs, just so corporate megastores can pocket billions of dollars and higher profits.

Well, the working families tax cut is delivering for American businesses, workers and families. Real wages are rising faster. Businesses are accelerating investments at home and more economic growth and American jobs are on the way. Thank you, President Trump and Congress, for passing the working families tax cut paid for by the Business Roundtable.

Keep the faith, hold the line, and own the lips.

Good Thursday to you! Welcome back to the Ruthless Variety Progrum. I'm Josh Holmes along with Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook left to right across your radio dial. There's an awful lot going on this week. You know, just, there is no boredom in this life. I mean, just when you think things are sort of settling on in a touch, you get the primary season that starts. We're going to talk about that big results in Texas this week. You got a war that's going on, which we're going to show you some things. It's unbelievable what the United States is doing.
And incredibly good in my point of view. But we'll have a discussion about all of that. We've got an incredible guest today. Jared Isaacman, you've probably heard his name before. He is, this is a dude. This is like one of those guys who you drop onto the planet who does all of the things. And now he's the NASA administrator.

**Comfortably Smug** (3:21)
Yeah, seems like the perfect guy for the job.

**Josh Holmes** (3:23)
Yeah, you want somebody who thinks all of the things doing that gig. And we have a great conversation with him coming. And we're going to play a game. It's King of the Hill Day, so Thursdays. We're going to have some yucks too, because there's plenty to yuck about when it comes to politics and Democrats, how they're approach. They don't know what the hell they're doing.

**Michael Duncan** (3:40)
That's for sure.

**Josh Holmes** (3:41)
They really don't know what the hell they're doing. But let's just start with the action, as it were, in clip six.

**Michael Duncan** (3:51)
So for our audio listeners, you are seeing the US military torpedoing the shit out of an Iranian ship. And the Department of War put this video out there of, I believe it's the first time since World War II, a foreign adversary ship has been taken down by torpedo.

**Josh Holmes** (4:16)
Yeah, so a Navy submarine sank the Iranian flagship as it returned from Sri Lanka. Evidently, I read a little bit that it thought it was in international waters. I'm not clear about what the Iranians told their soldiers and their seamen about rules of engagement in a war. It turns out when you have a warship and you are at war, it is in danger.

**Michael Duncan** (4:43)
And I look because they didn't have, they weren't smart enough to fly a white flag because it's over. You know what I mean? If you're in an Iranian warship, get that white flag up there because it's a wrap. You're just seeing what's happening up there. It's a wrap. Stay in Sri Lanka. Maybe hang on the islands. You've already got essentially a yacht. Throw all the guns in the water so no one mistakes what's happening.
