-- Welcome back David Todd and Michelle makes me show loses Jeff -- -- Billing information now. Here on WRKO. Said today. Scott how are -- body. I'm not at the pleasure palace where you're broadcasting from but I have a good time yup. -- is off today Jeff good -- filling in this hour thank you for doing this just because I understand you're all you're getting eight or nine hours of fair time every day here. And we wanna give you more it's just not enough. Thank you for all fill -- work you're doing and we love the new show. Eleven to twelve corner report every day here on 680 WRKO. So where there's -- there's word of an October surprise that the way. Broke first off let me say this I'm sure you heard that a University of Colorado does an analysis every four years of the presidential election and they have predicted. Accurately since 1980. Every presidential election and gas so. University of Colorado political scientists say is going to win. This election easily. I'm Mitt Romney Mitt Romney so given that if let's say that's true and they're sitting there in the Obama White House. Saying don't want to -- -- policy. We did that a couple of years ago we're trying to win reelection. And it's impossible. We're look at the numbers is no way to win reelection we've got to pull a rabbit out of -- how what do we do. And your Jeff corner near their political advisor you are doctor evil your mission should you choose to accept to Jeff. Is to figure out some scheme. To rob victory from the pit -- pit bull jaws of defeat. What do you suggest to the Obama team David Axelrod there David plop -- there Michelle was there are the possible cooperation. What do you tell bomb Iran. Bomb Iran will really but we bomber ran a we have the Israelis -- what sustain job. Well -- the ideal thing would be if you're asking now doctor evil -- you know Dr. Strangelove sort of sitting around thinking OK how -- -- -- my president reelected regardless of morality come hell or high water regardless of the national interest regardless of the good of a the American people I say Mr. President. The American people always rally around the commander in chief they rally around the flag any time of war -- And there's a lot of tension now building in the Middle East. We know Israel is -- threatened by -- Don't wait till after November. Now is the time to bomb Iran. What this would not be a traditional war in the sense of you know the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor shore. Everybody's with the president patriotism rises but we went through the bush years and the attack in Iraq the attack in Afghanistan. Iraq just finished Afghanistan. Is still gone full throttle as a matter of fact it took. I think it took that ten years to get the first thousand deaths and and in the last couple we've had another thousand it's worse. So it might be there's not an appetite. For an unprovoked. Attack in the eyes of the American people. That Todd normally I'd say you're right the country is now exhausted we are now suffering from war fatigue. We are losing the war in Afghanistan and protecting the American public has just tuned out completely. To to meet and to the detriment of our troops I feel bad for them they're dying in bleeding in the caves and mountains of Afghanistan. And hardly many -- Americans even know about it. But the fact of the matter is the world knows that awkward -- jawed as the Hitler of our time. The world knows that he Ron is on the verge of building a nuclear bomb. The world knows that the Jews of Israel now fear for their very existence. And so if the United States. If Obama said you know what let's say. October 15 two weeks before or two and a half weeks before the election let's unleash. The the winds of war let's unleashed unleash the dogs of war and bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. Every time a president has launched a military intervention. Would there be Reagan in Grenada bush won Indy rock. Clinton in Kosovo or in Bosnia. Afghanistan any rock initially under bush. -- their poll numbers go way up so we marries -- so rally around the flag to. Your saying is he advisors this is this situation reporting UN. A hypothetical where your advising the Obama White House we know Hulu any thing so whatever you tell them they won't run with you -- saying. A couple weeks before the election bomb Iran. And that would lead to a landslide victory for Obama in a reelection they can't win. Well here's what it would do I'm speaking very cynically now. Many evangelicals. Would -- would support the action because many of them are staunch supporters of Israel. Let's be very candid many Americans of Jewish descent for obvious reasons I don't blame them. Would rally around bad decision. This would put Florida clearly and Obama's call home. Many independents many moderates would say you know what he's actually very tough now on foreign policy he's defending the national interest against the wrong. And I think you would make Obama seem as a very strong war leader and a statesman and Mitt Romney -- Mitt Romney gonna say no why oppose it. Yeah I and I -- by the way Jeff drug along the lines where you're saying you're getting a little more cynical and we got a text message from 61 set the seventh saying. You do a straits of Hormuz saying I'm on Gulf of Tonkin thing in the in the straits in other words you have a situation develop. In an orchestrated way that makes it look like we've been attacked and then we have to respond. That would be very interest and so here's the question I think for refer listeners and that is. Would president Obama's chief Jeff -- is his advisor -- off today so we bring in -- the advisor to the president hypothetical. And you so you're just sitting around tells the president the only way you could win the really elections. Is to get yourself in a war with Iran bomb Iran. Does President Obama say OK I think you're right let's do it. In other words it's a question on how cynical you think our political system as. I don't think there's really any reasonable limits on what the president would do to maintain his power. And I'm wondering how you feel about it Jeff your answer would of President Obama do what you just suggested. I wrote a column nine months ago where I said Obama is definitely thinking about an October surprise I know this for a fact. Advisors close to him I said. If we need to play the wrong card we can and this is -- the last couple months. We have been moving ships into the gulf we have been moving aircraft carriers into the gulf very slowly. And it is there for a potential preemptive strike. No problem and be very candid with you. I believe that Israel has the right to defend itself. And if Israel believes and I think legitimately. That he wrong imposes a mortal threat. The existential threat to the people of Israel until the Jewish state. Then it is up to Israel to take whatever military actions they believe is necessary. But for America to get involved America. In a war right now when we still have 171000. Advisors any rock. Where we have nearly a hundred -- where is another question was what Obama do it. -- blue Obama do it. If he's downed if Romney is way ahead in the polls if Romney is up by 5678. Percentage points and I think is very likely. By the middle of October late October. With this president I think anything's possible. He's telling Netanyahu not to strike. And I think one of the reasons why he's telling opinion I wanna sit and -- pocket and that's why he wants in his pocket to play that card if he needs it. To literally more -- victory from the jaws of defeat. Any -- WR KL Michelle's off scooters here are good morning Eddie. Any command place. Promised a Rambo -- -- You know -- just such a walk walk hey if you're the last the last sentence that you said a few minutes ago was we got so many American servicemen died in the cage and not. And now mountains of Afghanistan. And yet you know is that the next the next -- bring up is let's bomb Iran not a great that's a great -- strategy upon Iran. Let me ask you this sense why -- we become the protector of Israel. You want any. -- now or should -- a great -- -- US economy first second question is. This hypothetical advice to the president as the only way to win. Reelection it's not saying this should be American policy the question for you is. If an advisor told the president this is the only way he wins you election do you think you would do it. I think doubt what it comes to politics don't do anything you appeared old to deal. Let's go to -- -- -- the president makes all decisions personal loans they are under control that their puppets. While I think that would accomplish something is -- just bombing another indication if I I don't think the president's sister said -- I refuse to unleash the dogs of war now there's a lot more deliberate now. -- and -- briefly who do you think. The people are who influenced that decision. Well I think it would cut you know I think you got a lot of people influence that decision for -- military leaders of business leaders through the job. The collection also they have in the end what body English -- maybe at some point. But it's a lot more than one guy sitting at -- SA -- You know what. All this out -- but that's so that's putting the other your coalition that's you know joining your different -- supporters to make sure he's on the same page. But that's still the president making the decision might come on join the conversation the morning you might. Barely. Barely. By billionaire. Well first overall. Yes my good actually get through it or more -- any. You don't open until I come on let's make your personal it's also a topic Michael yeah okay -- on the actual -- it would doubt. We don't I am elected do anything to defend England. -- -- -- -- in your opinion tried we do anything to overlap. Avoid annihilation of -- country of England if there was no sure. Well let's hope confirming what the -- -- do we know world episode -- -- map would help a country of Israel a lot of eleven of their minimalist. My what are your -- this way too general conversations are specific and simple try to focus in if Barack Obama gets a recommendation. That we bomb Iran that that's how he can win reelection two weeks before the election crooner laid it out he's he's told he shoe bomber ran. And maybe he uses some kind of fake incident on the straits of Hormuz -- through oil prices go up. He creates an instantaneous. Sense of dread in danger on the world stage. Any bombs Iran to get reelected that's a scenario would veto it that's a question for you your job is very simple here. Would he do it Jason good morning TO. I think you just I think you just got to hit it he's got -- look at he does something like that. He's gonna look good for all their peace for all 30%. A gas gasoline prices come into his election yet and then you get the Republicans are deeply going to be an IQ that this is a concession of foreign policy -- He wasn't able to have anybody do their dirty work he wasn't able to have marriage cannot -- his own. -- You know plot option is that military strike which you know nobody in the mood -- independent candidates it's still like his Fatah leader and forget the rest of the world. Yeah I didn't know they orderly you don't play orchestrated the price of gas I think would have to go up first Jeff would net. And they would orchestrated. So they're that in the public mood would swing. Into anger against the Iranians right. I don't look you're right they they may do many things they may be Gulf of Tonkin incident they may say one of our ships was attacked. Speaking of gas prices going up literally I filled up my tank yesterday cost seventy dollars gas is -- Food is up. I bought nothing at the grocery store practically the money five dollars. I spent a 165 dollars a game and my wife is -- where I buy some milk paper towels a couple of us. I -- a brand the other is just maintenance that's not even an indulgence than any -- my point is that clearly already prices are going through the roof. Know what I think the president's gonna do is this. And he is very obvious we have intelligence. That he Ron is now very close to a nuclear bomb. And as president of the United States I cannot allow you wrong to go nuclear and if I wait any longer. The Israeli people have told me the Israeli leadership we will -- -- on and so I don't want Israel to bomb Iran by itself. I will help Israel I will lead the attack that's what he's gonna set. And the American people look you and me and the listeners see right through it but let's. Be frank so everyone would be caught up let's just grab another call John year are killed that's just good hi John. Thought I want you guys about them two years ago that he will do anything. Anything to stay in power. If you give us enough time John. We come around to your way of thinking Michelle's off corners here we're right back on 680 WRK else. Coming up. Rush six CD WRKO. Find her again made -- -- off -- who are doing this hour -- may. And let's go to frank that's on our -- my friend. Good morning -- I don't know what this person very outspoken instead of starting -- somehow broken the what terms of people but between Indonesia -- that you have to shake into the World Cup. Why that would be an October surprise does -- say this I have the same effect do you think Jeff. I -- gonna happen are you I would be very dramatic but I mean literally -- -- and in a job as -- vowed to wipe Israel off the map. I know -- war is coming in the Middle East. What I think a war is coming I think it is no question about it Israel is now prepared to bomb he wrong they cannot wait much longer. I Netanyahu maybe he wants to do even himself before November Obama is saying no and here's -- I think he's gonna do very likely. You remember Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky impeachment debate -- at the end of it. What he did was he bombed Yugoslavia he bombed Serbia on behalf of Kosovo. And he launched tomahawk missile strikes you launched air strikes. The American people rallied around him and suddenly everybody forgot the entire Monica Lewinsky scandal. I'm not saying Obama is gonna invade Iran. He's not gonna send them hundreds of thousands of troops he's got aircraft carriers in the -- right off the coast -- be wrong. They are ready to go always got to do is order airstrikes. Hit and bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. And right away people saying the media or say he's the second coming of Winston Churchill. Look at Obama the brilliant statesman I'm getting a lot of text messages though Jeff said there were people saying this isn't credible people would smelled a rat. You Lloyd I would many of the listeners would. But I'm telling you right now I think the country at large look we've already. -- so much fear and tension about you wrong already. It has been laying the ground work for so long and think about it rationally just stand back for seconds. For a year now I know this for a fact because -- Israeli intelligence official have been telling you this. The Israelis have been begging Obama. Not for America at the bomb me wrong. But to say just let us bomb he wrong. We have the capability we have the Israeli Air Force we could take out and bombed their entire nuclear infrastructure. And Obama keeps saying no no no he won't give them the green light. Now do you honestly think. With his election on the line if he's -- 789 -- if it's close no he won't do it but if he's a game changer he's got enough game to lose. Then -- 15 October 20. You're asking me Jeff you're a cynical evil advisor -- in the White House -- Barack. -- that's the only kind they have risen. I say Mr. President go ahead and when yourself reelection yeah that's a matter of fact I think if they told me had to bomb your house Jeff. I think -- I think he would do that Jeff will be there again today his regular slot on WRK -- eleven.
