It is 7:16, 16 minutes after 7:00. The time that thousands of people wait to listen to Michael Paul, my introduction,

and of course, the man with the plan, the Velvet Hammer himself. He looks marvelous, he does, Jean Valentino,

who is also better known as the Ayatollah of Pensacola. So, so we are we are happy to have you here with us

today. And I got to tell you that quick quick story. We’re going to do I know this is also a podcast that you and I do that people can go back and watch. But

we’re going to do a quick thank you to JW Cooper at Reapa’s Kitchen because he texted me earlier this week and said,

“If you will call Jean Valentino, the Ayatollah of Pensacola, I’ll give you a free piece of buttermilk pie.” which is my favorite. So, here we go.

Will you tell him to hold an extra slice aside because I’m coming in with you.

Okay, deal. Uh, Jean, we we’ll go ahead and get started. Uh, you know, sad news.

And I I heard this yesterday and it it really it makes you so sad to find out that we lost some more military

personnel probably from the Air Force when we had two KC135 tankers that collided in midair on a refueling

mission over Iraq. Uh one plane landed safety. it was squawking 7700 which is uh you know a lot of people

noticed this uh that follow flight radar or uh the other apps out there that you

can you know follow the the the planes but in any case they were able to land safely so that crew is safe but unfortunately we found out now that

there are at least four dead but there’s two missing and we don’t know exactly what’s going on with that what were your thoughts

well you know in logistics as It’s ramps up. Especially in time of war, you have a lot of moving parts all moving at the

same time. Recent video shows how well our crews work on the on the decks of these uh aircraft carriers in launching

the F-15s, the F-14s, the F-15s, and um even the Fuh 35s. They the

synchronization, the orchestration is like a ballet. It’s like a dance in high speed. And I am not surprised that um

we’ve only lost uh four people from mishaps like this. This is not from friendly fire or unfriendly fire. It’s

it’s just a mishap of um moving so fast in an orchestrated movement. Someone may have been in the wrong place at the

wrong time. uh someone may have made a left when they should have made a right or something mechanically may have gone

wrong in the aircraft itself and I’m I’m aware of the risks associated with all those issues as a pilot myself. Uh so

you you’re always your head’s always on a swivel spinning and keeps you totally focused for all uh possibilities when you’re up there. But in this case,

Michael, as you described, some sometimes they slip through the cracks.

You know, it’s it’s interesting, but this could have very well been a training mishap. It could have happened over the United States. In fact, we had one uh not too many years ago that

crashed in Mississippi that was a uh a aircraft on a training uh exercise that something happened. I forget what it

was, but in any case, this can happen and it does happen occasionally in the military. What are the chances, you know, and and not not to get too much

into this, but just quickly, what are the chances that they were able to fly that aircraft to the ground? Uh, and maybe there’s two survivors.

Well, the air the chances are higher uh that some well, some did survive. Uh, we lost four, but some did survive. And

yes, but when you lose your um your your your flight capabilities, some of these

military aircraft turn into a unfiable bucket of bolts that does nothing but want to race to the ground like a

magnet. Uh they’re just um they’re just not flyiable. And I regret the I regret sometimes that could be the worst

scenario. Could be the the fact that what happened. I pray that some did survive, but uh you know there were

seven that died uh military heroes that have died plus these four. So Operation Epic Fury has now lost us 11 people.

Yeah. Uh speaking of Epic Fury, you know, a lot going on this week. It looks like they not only have air superiority,

but air supremacy. And when you see those two aircraft like that flying,

lauering, I guess you could say, over western Iraq, that tells you that they have no capability to take any of our aircraft down. Uh, what have you

observed over the last week or so since we talked?

Yeah, I’ve been taking some notes just before airtime. We have over 15,000 enemy targets that we’ve struck since

Operation Epic Fury began some 13 days ago. Iran had now has no air force.

Their defenses are nil. They have no navy. Uh these one-way attack drones that they’ve been talking about lately,

they’ve been uh neutered by 95% and are almost totally incapable. Uh uh the

actions uh in trying to take down oil tankers in the straight of Hormuz uh are down. um the Persian Gulf to the

northern half and the uh Gulf of Oman to the southern half before going out to the Arabian Sea. Uh there you’ve got a

bunch of attacker tankers stacked up ready to go. President President Trump announced again this morning he’s had

enough. Uh I I guess people will not hear what he has to say. uh his actions

have and will speak louder than his words. I predict in the next 24 to 48 hours a second wave of an American

assault in orchestrated in concert with Israel will take hold in uh the strait

of uh Hormuz and inland to Iran in an unblurred way uh unprecedented as well

like never before. I don’t think Trump wants it, nor can the economic uh financial markets support a protracted

war. Just think less than 13 days and we’ve done more in uh devastating

and and making impotent an enemy uh a foe that has caused uh a complete

shutdown in the nation of Iran. Notice how quiet China and Russia have been.

While they pretended in the news to intimidate us with their friendship with Iran, they’ve done nothing to step up to

defend Iran in their time of need against Israel and the United States. I predict this will come to an end once

they uh acquies once they surrender and uh whether you know I I used to be

against us being so forward with this regime change idea but when I pivot on

you now in this conversation it’s related it’s not unrelated the the the violent acts in the United States

that have occurred in the last two weeks are from uh Islamic terrorists

that are being investigated whether it’s New York City, Washington State, and everything in between. We’re seeing

targeted attacks against America from within. Something Iran has triggered

through its proxies that are sleeper cells that have been here in the United States. How many times have you and I

talked about the flood in from the southern border, a complete reckless, treasonous disregard by the Democrats,

the influx coming in from the southern border has uh in its group sleeper

cells, and I use the term that are sleeping in your neighborhood and mine as friendly neighbors today until they turn on you, Michael, and start killing.

When will they evidence themselves? Is it not true that our local sheriff’s associations are turning around and

saying, “Well, the Constitution of the United States allows you to defend yourself. Go ahead and do it. If we’re

not there and we did not respond because of some defunding debacle, you go ahead and take the law in your own hands

because the Constitution of the United States says you can.” and let’s eliminate in one way, shape, or form

these sleeper terrorists that Iran has placed here over the years. So, while we

look at a massive um assault, a very short timeline of an assault in Iran, I

worry more about the sleeper cells that may evidence themselves in the decade ahead.

The the problem that that uh I see with the Muslim community is not that we don’t or can’t get along.

It’s that you don’t know which one has taken up the mantra of them and and there’s something to I I don’t know. I

don’t know the whole story, but I know that there’s something that just sets them off and all of a sudden they want to be they want to kill people. And I

don’t understand why, but I know that I know what I see. And so, you know,

you’ve got Senator Tommy Tubberville who has said that we’re not compatible with Sharia law. We we’ve got another

congressman, uh, I can’t remember his name, but he’s out there saying the same thing. And then of course everybody on

the left and including some on the right are calling them bigots for just basically calling out what we all see.

Well, one thing we know is that under Sharia law and the fanatics that have caused the most harm to the United

States have their faith have their beliefs rooted in their faith. and uh

religious fanatics that put their own lives at risk where their own life is second to uh Allah and the um and the

god of their choice is um more important than you and me and all the wonderful

people around us. We’re Sharia law and everything related to this mus Muslim

teaching uh is the antithesis of what we believe and that’s um the the freedoms and liberties bestowed upon individuals.

It’s why I call my podcast the grassroots truth cast because it’s the grassroots of this nation that run the

show. We get into trouble when the select few at the top turn into dictators and rule of socialism and and

communism seems to be the way of the of these folks uh to better themselves at your expense and mine. It’s the

antithesis of democracy and the constitutional republic that we live with here in the United States. No

wonder it’s survived 250 years and we’re celebrating this summer. Uh we we we shouldn’t forget that we’re the oldest,

longest, lasting, surviving republic in the world. That didn’t come easy. It be

it came from the blood, sweat, and tears of our forefathers and mothers. And we honor them and we best not forget them.

And some of these Jenzers, respectfully,

who are uh strong patriots, there’s an equal number of them and their parents that think it should that government

should be overturned and uh changed. Uh how about Congress? Mike Eiselle and uh some of the other congressmen in your

area, wonderful guys and gals in serving. Um I tried to run for Congress myself for the same reason. I wanted to

make a difference. We have a Congress and we have a judiciary. The Department of Justice and the prosecution folks

related there too need a complete reformation.

Get off Donald Trump’s back and look in the mirror. You guys have no entitlement

to go after him anymore. Thank God he responded timely to Iran’s buildup of

nuclear weapons which was just days away and were intended for the United States.

Sleeper cells here or not, we thank God had a president step up step up and act

and all you have is Congress screwing around with the budget. They can’t figure out how AI works. they can’t

figure out how to turn on their Zoom and they can’t and and they’re trying to balance a budget uh to and and now today

as we speak have a TSA issue uh with the airports. What a damn shame that they

can’t get their act together. Our mission should not be to support a congressman or woman that wants to impeach Donald Trump.

We have a mission to get these bad actors in Congress and in our judiciary

out of out of their post and work with a leader who has proven himself. I think I’m out of gas.

Yeah, you’re out of gas and we’re out of time as well. Thanks for joining us.

Have a great weekend. We’ll see you again next week. Best you, buddy.
