WEBVTT - Headlines 0:00:00.350 --> 0:00:04.329 It is the Jesse Kelly show. Final hour of the 0:00:04.390 --> 0:00:07.770 Jesse Kelly show on a Wednesday. We're going to talk 0:00:07.810 --> 0:00:11.039 a little bit about this old guard of the GOP, 0:00:11.130 --> 0:00:14.680 courtesy of John Cornyn running his mouth on TV, the 0:00:14.740 --> 0:00:21.060 Bush family, so much more piggybacking off what Ryan just said. 0:00:21.970 --> 0:00:26.750 about just how unpopular, how costly in our election the 0:00:26.770 --> 0:00:29.390 Iran war is going to be, there's a couple little 0:00:29.510 --> 0:00:34.540 tidbits we should probably discuss. What we just ordered for 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.659 our people in the Middle East, what Netanyahu came out 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.340 and said, I'm not so sure this thing's going to 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.379 be wrapped up anytime soon. Anyway, all that email, so 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.909 much more coming up in the final hour of the 0:00:46.970 --> 0:00:53.480 Jesse Kelly show. So, Let's rewind a little bit. You 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.340 know the Bush family. You know George H.W. Bush, president 0:00:57.380 --> 0:01:01.050 for years. And then his son, George W. Bush, takes over. 0:01:01.110 --> 0:01:06.610 He's president for eight years. Now, I don't know what 0:01:06.650 --> 0:01:08.630 that kind of power is like and neither do you. 0:01:09.750 --> 0:01:12.890 But just pause for a second and think about this. 0:01:13.819 --> 0:01:18.320 Think about sitting down at a Thanksgiving table and your 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.020 father says, was the president of the United States of America, 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.060 and you were president of the United States of America. 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.630 The Bush family has been a dynasty. It just has been. 0:01:32.890 --> 0:01:35.450 And I don't like dynasties. Maybe you don't like dynasties, 0:01:35.510 --> 0:01:38.430 but whatever, it doesn't matter how you like it. 0:01:38.430 --> 0:01:39.110 It's a dynasty. 0:01:39.130 --> 0:01:43.030 It's a dynasty. By the way, Jeb was governor of Florida. 0:01:43.069 --> 0:01:47.670 That's no small deal. The Bushes have been political royalty 0:01:47.930 --> 0:01:51.650 in the United States of America. And I don't know 0:01:51.730 --> 0:01:53.630 any of them personally, so I can't speak to this, 0:01:53.710 --> 0:01:57.010 but that has to get to your head, right? That 0:01:57.070 --> 0:01:59.830 has to have some effect on you when you have 0:01:59.940 --> 0:02:05.640 that level of power throughout your family, right? And then 0:02:05.660 --> 0:02:10.790 Donald Trump came. And Donald Trump from the very beginning, 0:02:11.030 --> 0:02:17.030 had gigantic differences with the Bush family. In fact, one 0:02:17.070 --> 0:02:21.440 of the biggest ones was foreign policy. Because this whole 0:02:21.590 --> 0:02:24.700 invade everywhere, stay there forever, that was a Bush thing. 0:02:25.340 --> 0:02:28.459 That was a Bush thing. It was Bush who brought 0:02:28.500 --> 0:02:31.120 us to Iraq. It was Bush who brought us to Afghanistan. 0:02:31.180 --> 0:02:35.410 And by the way, Don't email me about Afghanistan was 0:02:35.450 --> 0:02:37.510 for 9-11. No, no, no, no, no. We could have 0:02:37.550 --> 0:02:39.550 gone in there and got the bad guys and left. 0:02:39.610 --> 0:02:44.380 We didn't. We stayed. We could have. We didn't. We stayed. Anyway, 0:02:45.030 --> 0:02:47.459 so that was all a Bush thing. Maybe you love 0:02:47.500 --> 0:02:50.829 or hate that policy, but Trump hated it. Trump hated it. 0:02:50.980 --> 0:02:53.780 And while Bush was president, remember, Donald Trump was very 0:02:53.820 --> 0:02:55.820 famous back then, too. He was famous long before he 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.380 was president. He would loudly say, this is the dumbest 0:02:58.400 --> 0:02:59.960 thing I've ever seen in my life. What are we doing? 0:03:00.460 --> 0:03:03.280 Why are we doing all this stuff? So that, you 0:03:03.690 --> 0:03:06.570 think that didn't get up to the bushes? It sure did. 0:03:07.350 --> 0:03:09.950 But then he comes down the escalator, and it's more 0:03:09.990 --> 0:03:15.750 than just the previous insults. He repeatedly talks about these 0:03:15.850 --> 0:03:19.840 ridiculous foreign wars and ridiculous foreign involvement, which is actually 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.760 ironic when you look at what he's doing in Iran now. 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:27.300 But anyway, he would always criticize that. And there created 0:03:27.380 --> 0:03:31.930 this huge rift between the Bush family and the Trump family. 0:03:32.450 --> 0:03:35.730 And at this exact same time, and I still can't 0:03:35.790 --> 0:03:40.990 understand this. Look, my suspicions are bad. The Bush family 0:03:41.030 --> 0:03:45.750 got close with the Obamas. They're friends. They are friends. 0:03:46.090 --> 0:03:48.150 You go look at pictures of them. They are very 0:03:48.250 --> 0:03:52.050 clearly friendly. It's clear that they have had private meetings, 0:03:52.170 --> 0:03:58.100 private dinner, the Bush family and the Obamas. Now, you 0:03:58.140 --> 0:04:02.920 were royalty. Now they picked someone else. And the someone 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:08.060 else they picked hates you and hates your policies. And 0:04:08.180 --> 0:04:11.750 we got things like this today. This is George W. 0:04:11.780 --> 0:04:16.380 Bush's brother, Neil Bush, says he voted for James Tallarico 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.040 in Texas. And he said, and I quote, I believe 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.140 Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done 0:04:23.300 --> 0:04:28.800 enormous damage to the Republican Party. That's not what he believes. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.870 What he believes is his family should have been able 0:04:33.910 --> 0:04:37.350 to stay in the royal palace forever. It was theirs. 0:04:38.510 --> 0:04:41.010 But because they had to invade everywhere on the planet, 0:04:41.150 --> 0:04:44.330 his family was thrown out. It's their fault we got Obama. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:52.240 And the GOP primary voter, going forward, rejected them. Remember... 0:04:52.770 --> 0:04:56.950 Jeb Bush had gigantic quantities of money behind him in 0:04:56.970 --> 0:04:59.790 that primary when he ran for president. He was governor 0:04:59.810 --> 0:05:01.870 and all that Bush money, right? Think about how many 0:05:01.910 --> 0:05:04.930 donors they have on the phone. Huge amounts of money 0:05:05.430 --> 0:05:10.540 went nowhere. The American people, the right Republicans, they've left 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:16.480 them behind. And they're so bitter about it. John Cornyn's 0:05:16.500 --> 0:05:21.409 bitter about it too. I love it. John Cornyn, he 0:05:22.310 --> 0:05:24.690 can't help himself. This is what's amazing. If you follow 0:05:24.730 --> 0:05:28.460 him on social media, every day it's some petty little shot, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.960 petty little this, petty little that, dragging Trump, dragging Paxton 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.729 for something. Or he got really honest on TV today. 0:05:38.420 --> 0:05:41.320 just flat out insulting you for voting him out. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.200 I accept the verdict of the 7% of registered voters 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.440 who voted in their runoff. 0:05:46.540 --> 0:05:47.160 Amazing, yeah. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.840 And that's part of our problem with our politics these 0:05:49.900 --> 0:05:53.310 days is the people who participate in the primaries, who 0:05:53.370 --> 0:05:57.929 choose the candidates, are on the extremes of either party. 0:05:58.610 --> 0:06:01.010 And we see that certainly in the Democratic Party with 0:06:01.029 --> 0:06:02.690 the Democratic Socialists of America. 0:06:02.770 --> 0:06:03.150 Are you surprised? 0:06:03.190 --> 0:06:06.040 And then in the general election, voters are left with 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.200 these choices. 0:06:07.220 --> 0:06:11.160 It would have been easier. That's how John Cornyn has 0:06:11.220 --> 0:06:16.800 always thought about you. He always thought you were extreme, stupid. 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.099 He knew as a Texan, he had to throw on 0:06:21.140 --> 0:06:24.200 the cowboy hat and he had to talk tough. I'm 0:06:24.230 --> 0:06:27.849 with Trump. We'll secure the border. But as soon as 0:06:27.870 --> 0:06:31.070 the camera was off, the cowboy hat came off. As 0:06:31.110 --> 0:06:33.029 soon as the camera was off and he got with 0:06:33.070 --> 0:06:36.870 Mike Rounds, John Curtis and the others, they were out 0:06:36.910 --> 0:06:41.280 there sipping bourbon. talking about what a huge vulgarian Trump 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.520 is and what an idiot you are. These stupid primary voters. 0:06:45.540 --> 0:06:47.180 This is how they're talking right now, by the way. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.190 John Cornyn didn't just tell you how he thinks today. 0:06:50.490 --> 0:06:53.010 He's always thought that way. And the guys who are 0:06:53.050 --> 0:06:56.770 still in the Senate, James Lankford, he thinks this way too. 0:06:57.190 --> 0:06:59.390 And when they get with each other, they talk about 0:06:59.430 --> 0:07:04.170 how stupid you are and how extreme you are. They're 0:07:04.250 --> 0:07:07.480 so bitter that we are moving on. John Cornyn, every 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:12.580 time I see him petty and bitter, it nourishes my soul. 0:07:13.140 --> 0:07:17.660 Couldn't have, what, Chris? What? It's not because I'm a 0:07:17.700 --> 0:07:18.320 bad person. 0:07:18.540 --> 0:07:18.840 No, no. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:23.310 All right, maybe a little. It's because he's a bad person. 0:07:24.190 --> 0:07:27.870 And it's because he used his red state Senate position 0:07:28.870 --> 0:07:32.990 to advance and protect left-wing causes time and time and 0:07:33.030 --> 0:07:36.900 time again. I view him as a liar. Many of them. 0:07:36.980 --> 0:07:40.320 Thune's a liar. They're liars. They're not as right wing 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.920 as they pretend to be. And they've gotten away with 0:07:42.980 --> 0:07:45.380 it for a very long time because they know to 0:07:45.420 --> 0:07:49.840 spend enough money on TV and act during primary season. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.880 They act like bloodthirsty right wingers and then they go 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.270 right back to D.C. But they're all bitter because they're 0:07:56.310 --> 0:07:59.930 being rejected. And that nourishes me. Jesse, I heard you 0:08:00.010 --> 0:08:02.310 on Clay and Buck. Is it true that you are 0:08:02.350 --> 0:08:08.300 the tallest Marine ever? who ever lived, I'd say the 0:08:08.340 --> 0:08:12.780 most handsome. I don't know that I would say the tallest. Remember, 0:08:13.700 --> 0:08:15.840 although I could be, because remember, what happened to me 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.660 was a little bit abnormal. When I was going in, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:24.640 6'4 was the max you could be to join the Marines. 0:08:24.780 --> 0:08:24.900 6'4. 0:08:25.860 --> 0:08:28.800 I was 6'5. So I show up, and they have 0:08:28.820 --> 0:08:31.350 to take all your measurables. They're checking your body out 0:08:31.380 --> 0:08:34.060 and making sure you don't have and checking your eyes 0:08:34.100 --> 0:08:36.800 and all this other stuff. I show up, and the 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.500 height check is part of it. And Doc sits me 0:08:40.580 --> 0:08:44.490 up against the wall, measures me, and says, ooh, 6'5, 0:08:45.070 --> 0:08:46.869 and I kind of slouched down a little bit, and 0:08:46.910 --> 0:08:49.089 he pushed the scale, that thing that sits on top 0:08:49.110 --> 0:08:51.490 of your head, he pushed it down a little too. 0:08:51.530 --> 0:08:54.030 He's like, ah, 6'4, looks good. Kind of gave me 0:08:54.070 --> 0:08:56.110 the wink, wink, nudge, nudge, because he saw I really 0:08:56.130 --> 0:08:59.360 wanted to join, sent me in. Okay, so already as 0:08:59.420 --> 0:09:02.020 I walk into boot camp, I'm an inch too tall. 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.220 All right. And I ended up paying the price for 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.439 that in many different ways, but already I'm an inch 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.770 too tall. But then during my first year in the Marines, 0:09:11.910 --> 0:09:14.469 and I have no idea why this is because I 0:09:14.510 --> 0:09:17.850 was 19 years old at the time. I grew three inches. 0:09:19.250 --> 0:09:21.630 It's not like I grew another half inch. I grew 0:09:21.790 --> 0:09:25.319 three inches. But once you're in, they don't let you out. 0:09:25.700 --> 0:09:27.280 It's not that they're not going to kick you out. 0:09:27.340 --> 0:09:30.320 I didn't want out. I was like, well, get me 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.880 a bigger uniform. There it is. So not the tallest, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.469 just the most handsome. I thought this was revealing from Rubio. 0:09:39.500 --> 0:09:40.780 I really do. Look, I'm seeing a. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.470 Lot of things in the media that are not accurate. 0:09:43.270 --> 0:09:45.210 So let me clear those up. And as I did 0:09:45.250 --> 0:09:47.589 in my conversation with him, number one is the Department 0:09:47.610 --> 0:09:50.730 of War. Everything they've been doing with Ukraine remains the same. 0:09:50.750 --> 0:09:51.510 That has not changed. 0:09:51.809 --> 0:09:56.050 I think it's changed. 0:09:57.610 --> 0:10:01.700 I don't think that's entirely accurate. It is the Jesse 0:10:01.780 --> 0:10:08.099 Kelly Show on a fantastic, wonderful Wednesday. You know that song, Roadhouse, 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.280 that reminds me. So, wasn't that the name of the song, Chris? 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:19.050 Roadhouse Blues, that's right. It reminds me of We Were 0:10:19.070 --> 0:10:23.470 in Japan. We were in Japan doing some training. This 0:10:23.530 --> 0:10:26.089 is during my six month deployment in the Marine Corps. 0:10:26.890 --> 0:10:28.980 We were in Japan doing some training and we had, 0:10:29.020 --> 0:10:30.700 there's a little Marine Corps base up there. We were 0:10:30.740 --> 0:10:32.640 up by Mount Fuji. I don't remember the name of 0:10:32.660 --> 0:10:35.400 the base. You'd probably look it up and know. But 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.600 on that base, there was this bar and grill known as, 0:10:40.620 --> 0:10:42.940 I think it was just Roadhouse. I don't think there 0:10:42.980 --> 0:10:47.080 was another word for it. It was just the Roadhouse. Chris, oh, nevermind. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.699 You couldn't have eaten it, buddy. Sorry. But They had 0:10:49.780 --> 0:10:54.880 one of the great appetizers ever. So you know an 0:10:54.940 --> 0:10:56.720 egg roll. Obviously, you know what an egg roll is. 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:02.540 A real flaky type round pastry like that. And they 0:11:02.620 --> 0:11:06.290 had these things that they stuffed full of. I think 0:11:06.330 --> 0:11:11.290 it was cheddar cheese and bacon bits. I'm telling you 0:11:11.370 --> 0:11:19.350 right now, it was so good. Gosh, I'm starving. What, Chris? What? Yes, 0:11:19.950 --> 0:11:22.550 like an egg roll cheddar bomber is actually an excellent 0:11:22.610 --> 0:11:25.310 way to describe that, only bigger. They were like the 0:11:25.390 --> 0:11:28.250 size of an egg roll. It was an appetizer. You'd 0:11:28.290 --> 0:11:30.630 go get a beer and get some of these things. 0:11:32.500 --> 0:11:34.400 I'm telling you right now, I almost went broke. Because 0:11:34.420 --> 0:11:38.120 you don't have any money in the Marine Corps. Whenever 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.480 I had time, I was down there, and no matter 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.150 what I got to eat, I was slaughtering in order 0:11:43.170 --> 0:11:49.850 of those. I miss them so much. What, Chris? That's 0:11:49.890 --> 0:11:52.449 a very good point, Chris. How hard can that be? 0:11:53.390 --> 0:11:55.429 I'm not sure exactly what I would want to use 0:11:55.530 --> 0:11:59.610 for the egg roll part of it, the pastry, because 0:11:59.650 --> 0:12:01.910 it was not an egg roll. It was flakier than that, 0:12:02.010 --> 0:12:07.770 more of like a crispy pastry. Does that make sense? Obviously, 0:12:07.830 --> 0:12:09.270 I can't put bacon in it if you're going to 0:12:09.309 --> 0:12:11.670 have any, but at my house, I'm going to have 0:12:11.710 --> 0:12:14.189 bacon and cheese in it. This is a good idea. 0:12:14.230 --> 0:12:17.130 You know what? What's the point of being married if 0:12:17.170 --> 0:12:18.610 you can't do this stuff? I'm going to send it 0:12:18.630 --> 0:12:21.250 to Abba and ask her to make it. What, Chris? 0:12:21.630 --> 0:12:25.979 That's her job. Let's get to just a little bit 0:12:26.020 --> 0:12:30.520 of news. It's just stuff that's leaking out now, so 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.990 there's no need to panic. Calm down. But there was 0:12:34.070 --> 0:12:37.190 some reporting a couple hours ago. It was a Reuters 0:12:37.250 --> 0:12:44.370 report that said the America's State Department just told americans 0:12:44.610 --> 0:12:46.929 and all these places over there in the middle east 0:12:47.050 --> 0:12:49.429 uae saudi arabia there were more there were a lot 0:12:49.450 --> 0:12:52.839 of them that america's state department just told all of 0:12:52.890 --> 0:12:55.740 you to leave get out everyone get out and generally 0:12:55.780 --> 0:12:59.000 people know what that means right i should tell you 0:12:59.020 --> 0:13:02.280 that got shot down the state department came out and 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:07.390 said no we didn't say that for everybody We said 0:13:07.450 --> 0:13:11.150 that for just the people in Saudi Arabia. So it 0:13:11.190 --> 0:13:14.079 wasn't even a full out denial. It was a no, no, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:20.239 not everywhere. Just Saudi Arabia. OK, now stop there. Let's 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.250 talk a little Israeli politics because that look, we're involved 0:13:24.270 --> 0:13:27.689 with them right now heavily over there. You know how 0:13:27.790 --> 0:13:30.890 Trump has an election coming? Well, the midterm election coming 0:13:31.809 --> 0:13:36.179 and Donald Trump. Cannot afford gas prices to go up more. 0:13:37.420 --> 0:13:39.949 He really can't afford any attention on Iran right now. 0:13:40.090 --> 0:13:44.309 It's insanely unpopular. He cannot afford attention on it. So 0:13:44.370 --> 0:13:50.370 Donald Trump doesn't want anything done before the midterm. Here 0:13:50.450 --> 0:13:54.810 is the problem. Netanyahu has an election coming up too. 0:13:55.890 --> 0:14:00.230 His own. That election is on October 27th. Before the midterm. 0:14:04.890 --> 0:14:09.300 And if you read into Netanyahu's very frank public statements, 0:14:10.340 --> 0:14:13.949 it sounds like the war is awfully popular in Israel 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.010 because he's being really loud about it. Right here, quote, 0:14:17.730 --> 0:14:20.110 Iran wanted to destroy us. We stopped them. He said 0:14:20.130 --> 0:14:22.270 this on camera, by the way. They wanted to produce 0:14:22.340 --> 0:14:26.460 nuclear bombs. We stopped them. Yet they persist. Therefore, the 0:14:26.580 --> 0:14:30.200 only way to end this by toppling the regime, he 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.000 went further. This is the directive I have issued to 0:14:34.020 --> 0:14:37.740 the Israel Defense Forces, to Mossad, and to all of 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:43.060 our security branches. That's about as black and white as 0:14:43.140 --> 0:14:49.900 it gets. That's regime change. That's Netanyahu announcing publicly that 0:14:49.970 --> 0:14:55.390 his intention is regime change. Now, However he feels about that, 0:14:55.460 --> 0:14:57.100 obviously I'm sure that's what he wants. I'm sure that's 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.060 what everyone in Israel wants. I would want it too. 0:15:00.260 --> 0:15:03.420 He wouldn't say that so loudly and so publicly if 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.110 that wasn't a popular stance in Israel right now. And 0:15:07.130 --> 0:15:11.490 that would be an understandable popular stance in Israel. But 0:15:11.510 --> 0:15:13.450 this isn't about Israel. It's about us. That's what I 0:15:13.490 --> 0:15:18.840 care about. What if Netanyahu kicks this bad boy off 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:24.420 before the midterm? Look, someone's doing something or someone knows 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:29.150 something because the State Department doesn't tell embassy personnel, could 0:15:29.190 --> 0:15:31.270 you hop on a plane and come home? You don't 0:15:31.350 --> 0:15:35.410 make that phone call unless you suspect or know that 0:15:36.250 --> 0:15:39.570 something is coming that may put your people in harm's way. 0:15:41.310 --> 0:15:44.590 I believe and I hope I should say. That we 0:15:44.650 --> 0:15:46.810 are getting to a place where we will get a 0:15:46.870 --> 0:15:50.840 negotiated peace for Russia, Ukraine, so people can stop dying 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.000 and we can stop wasting money there. And I feel 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.420 like the end is in sight there. Maybe I'm naive, 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.380 but I feel like the end is in sight there. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.080 I am worried that we're going to be in Iran 0:16:03.100 --> 0:16:07.680 for the 2028 election. It is the Jesse Kelly Show 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.020 on a fantastic, wonderful Wednesday. If you missed any part 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.260 of the show, you can download it, iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. 0:16:15.940 --> 0:16:20.000 So let's just walk through this really quickly before we 0:16:20.020 --> 0:16:24.500 get to emails. If, and this is a big if, 0:16:25.820 --> 0:16:28.979 if Israel is going to go ahead and try to 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:34.210 launch a regime change war in Iran, There is no 0:16:34.690 --> 0:16:38.910 possible way they can or would do that without our assistance. 0:16:39.170 --> 0:16:42.250 It's not possible. There's no way. There aren't enough of them. 0:16:42.930 --> 0:16:47.730 They're small. Iran is big. It's small. So we are 0:16:47.770 --> 0:16:50.100 going to be involved. Maybe you're sitting there saying, well, 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.120 we'll just walk away. I don't think we can walk away. Look, 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:56.780 there's a lot of reasons there, but I don't think 0:16:56.820 --> 0:16:58.900 we can walk away. Well, we won't. It's not something 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.920 that will happen. It simply will not happen. We won't 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:06.260 walk away. That means if they're serious, and there's no 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.600 reason not to say they're serious, they're very serious people, 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:13.459 the Israelis. That means we are going to be stuck 0:17:13.540 --> 0:17:17.859 trying to facilitate installing a brand new government in a 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.520 country of 70, 90 million people. I think it's 70 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:26.180 million people. In a country, by the way, that's overwhelmingly Islamic, 0:17:26.740 --> 0:17:29.179 basically all Islamic. So now you're going to have to 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:35.659 find the right sect that's acceptable by the You know 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.480 how much maintenance that's going to be even if you 0:17:37.540 --> 0:17:40.159 find somebody? It's not like you can just throw him 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.420 in the palace and drop him off and say, hey, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.070 good luck, Abdul. It doesn't work that way. You're going 0:17:46.090 --> 0:17:48.490 to have to provide security. You're going to have to 0:17:48.570 --> 0:17:55.149 rebuild them economically considering we've wiped them out there. This 0:17:55.230 --> 0:17:57.619 is going to be another Bush. This is going to 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.179 be another nightmare. Oh, my gosh. That'll go well for 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:07.100 the midterms. Hey, hobo with holy clothes. I told you 0:18:07.180 --> 0:18:11.180 I threw that shirt away, right? She did, Chris. She did. 0:18:12.100 --> 0:18:14.580 And you know what my mistake was? I've made this 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:19.139 mistake before. I talked about it on the show. Turns 0:18:19.300 --> 0:18:23.410 out she was making dinner, listening to the show. She 0:18:23.490 --> 0:18:26.930 heard me talk about it. Now, she was going to 0:18:26.990 --> 0:18:30.010 see the hole anyway, I think. The second I walk 0:18:30.050 --> 0:18:34.890 in the door, hey, let me see that shirt. It's gone. 0:18:35.690 --> 0:18:38.060 I miss it. Anyway, he says, I'm sure you will 0:18:38.100 --> 0:18:41.460 correct me if I'm mistaken, but diesel fuel is just 0:18:41.550 --> 0:18:45.570 less refined crude. Isn't it possible that the worldwide shortage 0:18:45.609 --> 0:18:50.970 of refined gas and market price is driving the diesel shortage, 0:18:51.010 --> 0:18:53.090 I think is what he meant? Even though it costs 0:18:53.130 --> 0:18:55.350 a little more to process gasoline, the market has to 0:18:55.390 --> 0:18:57.670 be much bigger than diesel, so on and so forth. Well, 0:18:59.260 --> 0:19:00.820 I don't know that I would say the market is 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:06.929 much bigger than diesel. Diesel, people, normal people, most normal people, 0:19:07.790 --> 0:19:09.830 they don't drive a diesel car. And I say that 0:19:09.890 --> 0:19:13.040 knowing I've got who knows how many dudes listening to 0:19:13.060 --> 0:19:15.060 me in their diesel pickup truck right now. I know 0:19:15.100 --> 0:19:18.000 diesels are out there. I've driven them myself. I understand that. 0:19:18.660 --> 0:19:20.940 But for the vast majority of people, they drive a 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.110 car that runs on unleaded gas, at least the vast 0:19:23.150 --> 0:19:27.130 majority of people in the United States of America. That 0:19:27.210 --> 0:19:30.020 creates kind of a myopic view in us. And we 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.080 don't realize how much of the planet runs on diesel. 0:19:35.020 --> 0:19:39.159 Those cargo ships crossing the ocean? Do you know how 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.860 much stuff is on those cargo ships? It's the trade 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:48.629 keeping the world going. Diesel. Diesel. Diesel. Those trucks. 0:19:48.950 --> 0:19:49.150 Diesel. 0:19:49.190 --> 0:19:52.890 Diesel. You have construction in your town? Let me take 0:19:52.930 --> 0:19:55.710 a guess and say yes, you do. Every bit of 0:19:55.730 --> 0:20:01.820 that construction equipment. Diesel. Diesel. Diesel is so woven into 0:20:01.859 --> 0:20:07.600 the entire economy of the planet. So if there's a disruption... 0:20:07.730 --> 0:20:10.669 And there are disruptions right now. It's a problem. Jesse, 0:20:12.130 --> 0:20:15.710 let's be honest about 2028, he says. Let's be honest. Vance, 0:20:15.990 --> 0:20:19.990 although extremely qualified, would be a wonderful president. And Rubio, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.100 whooping it up two years with his witty banter, so 0:20:23.140 --> 0:20:25.459 on and so forth. What do you think needs to 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:32.480 happen to avert a country-destroying Democrat by 2028? Maybe Trump's children, perhaps. 0:20:34.730 --> 0:20:37.460 For one, I... I don't think that Trump's children have 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.240 shown really any genuine interest in that. And I only 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.480 know one of them. I know Don Jr. I don't 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.800 know the others. In fact, I've never even met the others. 0:20:45.859 --> 0:20:49.280 But I've never seen anything that indicates they want to 0:20:49.300 --> 0:20:51.960 be president. And when you think about the hell their 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.200 father has been put through, and you're already rich, right? 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.370 You're a Trump. They're all millionaires. Don't you just want 0:20:58.380 --> 0:21:00.770 to go bass fishing instead of getting shot in the head? 0:21:01.210 --> 0:21:03.649 They're probably done with all that. That's one. 0:21:03.670 --> 0:21:03.740 Two. 0:21:06.109 --> 0:21:10.060 We have to, I mean, it's not great to talk 0:21:10.100 --> 0:21:11.920 about because it's not the best feeling in the world, 0:21:11.940 --> 0:21:17.939 but Trump isn't that popular. Not right now. I'm not 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:20.820 saying his popularity can't go back up and whatnot, but 0:21:21.619 --> 0:21:28.070 as of right now, if you look at what people think, 30, 20% approval, 0:21:28.130 --> 0:21:30.189 it's not 20, but it's been in the 20s, in 0:21:30.210 --> 0:21:34.210 the 30s, 30% approval. The United States of America does 0:21:34.270 --> 0:21:37.169 not like Donald Trump right now. And as hard as 0:21:37.190 --> 0:21:39.970 this may be to hear, if the election was today 0:21:39.990 --> 0:21:42.360 instead of a couple years ago, Donald Trump would lose 0:21:42.380 --> 0:21:46.459 to Kamala Harris. He would. That's how unpopular he is 0:21:46.540 --> 0:21:49.840 at the moment. Now, I can't see the future and 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.020 where we're going to be at two years from now, 0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:54.340 but let's go back to what we were just discussing. 0:21:55.460 --> 0:21:59.990 What if two years from now we are involved in 0:22:00.070 --> 0:22:04.449 some long, costly regime change war in Iran that and 0:22:04.490 --> 0:22:07.109 you're still paying $ 4 or $ 5 a gallon for gas. 0:22:08.530 --> 0:22:11.890 How unpopular is the Trump name going to be then? 0:22:12.550 --> 0:22:15.430 You know what it's going to do. It's going to 0:22:15.470 --> 0:22:19.260 put us in a severe bind because J.D. Vance, let's 0:22:19.300 --> 0:22:23.620 assume it's Vance, maybe it's Rubio, whoever the Republican nominee is, 0:22:24.340 --> 0:22:27.770 if Trump is super unpopular then, as he is right now, 0:22:28.930 --> 0:22:31.350 they're going to be asked about him all the time. 0:22:31.990 --> 0:22:35.330 They're going to have to try to As politely as possible, 0:22:35.350 --> 0:22:38.230 because you know Trump will take offense to this, they 0:22:38.270 --> 0:22:43.090 would have to try to separate themselves from him. Well, no. 0:22:43.109 --> 0:22:45.310 Think how delicate you'd have to be because how sensitive 0:22:45.369 --> 0:22:47.449 Trump is to that kind of stuff. You'd have to 0:22:47.490 --> 0:22:51.989 do that. Well, no. We had some disagreements is all. 0:22:52.380 --> 0:22:55.020 I did go my separate ways. You'd have to, boy, 0:22:55.060 --> 0:22:59.699 you'd have to tiptoe and walk on eggshells to avoid 0:22:59.740 --> 0:23:00.840 that being a problem. 0:23:01.380 --> 0:23:01.690 Look, I. 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:06.919 I'll say it as frankly as humanly possible. If gas 0:23:07.010 --> 0:23:10.410 is still high and we are stuck in some stupid 0:23:10.470 --> 0:23:15.810 foreign war that Trump started by 2028, we are screwed. Screwed. 0:23:16.730 --> 0:23:19.830 We have to wrap this up. It would have been 0:23:19.890 --> 0:23:22.310 ideal to wrap it up months ago. That's why Trump 0:23:22.350 --> 0:23:24.810 was desperately trying to wrap it up and get that deal. 0:23:24.850 --> 0:23:27.730 But he can't trust the dirty Iranians, so that sucks. 0:23:27.970 --> 0:23:32.430 So he didn't get the deal. We have to do something. 0:23:33.330 --> 0:23:37.020 Whatever we do, whatever that plan is, we better not 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:40.700 be there by the time the presidential election rolls around. Oh, 0:23:40.820 --> 0:23:43.800 and remember, the presidential election starts in about six months. 0:23:44.330 --> 0:23:47.060 You know that? We're going to have this midterm election, 0:23:47.580 --> 0:23:50.440 and then you're going to start seeing candidates forming these 0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:52.940 presidential committees. They're going to start raising money. 0:23:52.980 --> 0:23:53.160 J.D. 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:55.300 Vance has already been raising money. You're going to see 0:23:55.340 --> 0:23:58.179 Democrats doing it. Ted Cruz looks like he's going to 0:23:58.200 --> 0:23:59.970 throw his hat in the ring again to be president. 0:23:59.990 --> 0:24:02.209 He's going to be out there raising money. You are 0:24:02.270 --> 0:24:05.609 going to see the presidential race heat up, and God 0:24:05.750 --> 0:24:09.250 forbid we are still stuck over there in Iran if 0:24:09.350 --> 0:24:16.240 it does. What, Chris? Chris said, what does punching Iran 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.830 harder do for us? I mean, look, at this point 0:24:19.869 --> 0:24:22.750
