I am the ugliest of ugly American. 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: As I've said many times before, I care about America. 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: I care about Americans. I have never on this show 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: obsessed over foreign policy, foreign things, and that's not about 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 2: to change tonight. Yes, I got all the emails you 14 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: sent me, the ten thousand text messages from friends and 15 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: family asking for my thoughts on Iran, what we're doing, 16 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 2: where we're going tonight. That is going to dominate the conversation. 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: I am going to lay out everything for you. But 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: if you are waiting with baited breath every day for 19 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 2: me to update you on this strike and debt to 20 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: this casualty, that you are going to be sadly disappointed. 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: This is not going to be the Iran show ever Tonight. Yes, 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: after tonight we'll hit the high points. It's not that 23 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: I'm never gonna drop it or never gonna bring it 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: up again. We're going to hit the high points. I 25 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: got all your emails. I have endless thoughts on it all. 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: I'll get to those in a moment. We are going 27 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: to do still as we always do on a Monday 28 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: Medal of honor Monday that's coming up one hour from now. 29 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: I will get to some emails. We'll discuss everything from 30 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: Lyndik I am to other things. But now let me 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: start off all this Iran talk by saying this, and 32 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 2: it has served me very very very well. I think 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: it would serve you well. Just a suggestion. You live 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: your life the way you want, say what you want, 35 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: do what you want. I'm just telling you what helps me. 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: Of course, after we sign off on Friday, the war 37 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: kicks off, bombing Iran. 38 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: I think it had Chris, I wouldn't keep in track. 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 2: I think it was about five minutes after we got 40 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: off the air everything the bomb started dropping. Okay, we're joint, 41 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: huge joint operation. US and Israel are clearly the main 42 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: drivers of this whole thing, UAE, Saudi Arabia, these other 43 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: countries are getting involved. We're gonna get to all the whys. 44 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: Believe me, it's going to take a long long time 45 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: to get through all this. Now I have a headline here, 46 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: Musk that would be Elon. Musk points to the high 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: highest ever usage for x Amid strikes on Iran. That 48 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: would be formerly Twitter. Social media is what it is. 49 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: You don't need to have it, don't worry about it. 50 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: Highest ever, here's what has served me very very well. 51 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: Times of war are times of lies. You realize that 52 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: I actually dug quite a bit to try to figure 53 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: out who actually was the originator of this quote, the 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: quote being and there are various versions of this. In war, 55 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: the first casualty is the truth. And I think I 56 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: found fifteen different people who supposedly came up with it originally. 57 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: If it was you and your listening, I'm sorry, but 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: I can't credit anyone for it. It wasn't mine, But 59 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: it is true. And war, the first casualty is the truth. 60 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: And do you want to know one of the reasons 61 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: I couldn't find the actual author of that little proverb 62 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: because I found quotes saying essentially that dating back two 63 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: thousand years, don't think it's just the modern area, a 64 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 2: modern era where it's all lies in war for a 65 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: couple of different reasons, which we're about to lay out. 66 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: In war, everyone lies, everybody your side lies, the enemy lies, 67 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: and different factions of each side lie for different reasons. 68 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: Sometimes you tell lies because you want to create an 69 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: illusion for the enemy, misdirection for the enemy. Hey, we're 70 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: not going in until maybe a week from now, and 71 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: then you bomb them that night. That's a lie. But 72 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: it's an obvious lie why you would do it. So 73 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: sometimes you lie for that reason. Sometimes you lie just 74 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: for naked propaganda reasons. We killed ten thousand of them 75 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: and we didn't lose a man. Probably not true. One 76 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: of the things that will frustrate you if you dig 77 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: into historical battles in war are the amazingly different casualty 78 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: numbers from every battle depending on which source you read. 79 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: The Romans took on Carthage in this battle, and the 80 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: Romans lost ten thousand men. Then you read another thing 81 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: about the same. 82 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: Battle the Romans lost one hundred and fifty thousand men, 83 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: And you're like, wait, I thought you said ten thousand, 84 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, because everyone's lying. 85 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: Everybody is lying at all times. Okay, Now knowing that, 86 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: here's what has served me very well for the past 87 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: forty eight seventy two hours, and it will serve me 88 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: well for every huge story going forward, especially war stories. 89 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: Just calm down, watch, listen, wait and pray. I have 90 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: a guy. He works with me, wonderful guy. By the way, 91 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: this is in no way an insult to him. He 92 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: works with me. It's no, it's not this. It's not Chris, 93 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: all right, but he works for me, and he's always 94 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: trying to, you know, promote me, promote the show, promote this. 95 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: And then that's fine. You have to have that. That's good. Obviously, 96 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 2: you want your media career to be as big as 97 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: you can get. Whatever. And I think it was ten 98 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: minutes after the first draw bomb dropped, I get a 99 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: text message from him, Hey, it would be great if 100 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: and I forget whether it was because I half read it, 101 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: it'd be. 102 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: Great if you could go live on Instagram and talk 103 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: about your thoughts on it, if that, And I said no. 104 00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: No, I want to watch and listen and wait and pray. 105 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: I want to sift through the videos in pictures and 106 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: stories and casualty figures, And I want to wait and 107 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: calm down and sift through the endless quantity of information 108 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: that is coming in, and it's coming in rapidly. That's 109 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: why people are on social media in record numbers right now. 110 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: Maybe you've done it, and I'm not insulting you, because 111 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: I did plenty of it this weekend. Maybe you've spent 112 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: the last seventy two hours on your phone. 113 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, did you see this video? We have 114 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: aeric strike Dixon. Did you see the picture that death bob. 115 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: It whoa calm down? Half that video was from twenty 116 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: years ago in another part of the world. The other 117 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: half is AI. The other half is enemy propaganda. The 118 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: other half is your own sides propaganda. Calm down. If 119 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: you have said to a friend in the last forty 120 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: eight to seventy two hours, you should. 121 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: See what I saw on Facebook. 122 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: That should probably be a heads up for you that 123 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: you need to calm down. We are in the beginning, 124 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: the very beginning of something that is going to take 125 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: a while. How long, I don't know. We're hearing things 126 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: like this from true. 127 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 4: We have the strongest and most powerful by far military 128 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: in the world, and we will easily prevail. We're already 129 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: substantially ahead of our time projections. But whatever the time is, 130 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 4: it's okay. Whatever it takes, we will always and we 131 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 4: have right from the beginning. We projected four to five weeks, 132 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 4: but we have capability to go. 133 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 2: Far longer than then. Okay, hey, we're gonna go four 134 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: or five weeks. Trump has come out and he said, no, no, well, 135 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 2: we'll probably do it sooner, but I mean we might 136 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: be longer. Okay, you wouldn't expect the American president to 137 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: say anything else. What's he gonna say, Hey, we're gonna 138 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: run out of missiles in two weeks. You can't come 139 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: out say that. Pete haig Seth came out and said 140 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: something that we're about to discuss. Believe me, this is 141 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: going to be a very long discussion tonight. I'm sorry. 142 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: I normally try to do radio in fifteen minute increments, 143 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: but sometimes on History Nights and whatnot, it's just one 144 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: long story. So it's one long story tonight, and strap 145 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: in Pete hegg Seth came out and said this. And 146 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: there's a reason he said this. Well here it is. 147 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 5: To the media outlets and political left screaming endless wars. 148 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: Stop. 149 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: This is not a rack. This is not endless. I 150 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 5: was there for both. Our generation knows better, and so 151 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 5: as this president. He called the last twenty years of 152 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 5: nation building wars dumb, and he's right. 153 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: This is the opposite. 154 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 5: This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission, destroy the 155 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 5: missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. Israel has clear 156 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 5: missions as well, for which we are grateful, capable partners. 157 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: As we've said since the beginning, capable partners are good partners, 158 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 5: unlike so many of our true. 159 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 2: Okay, we got it. This is not an endless war. 160 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: Destroy the missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. That's 161 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: what they said. All right, we are going to hear 162 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: from Trump himself. We have all kinds of different sound, 163 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: different things. We're going to talk about the greatness of it, 164 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: the terrible things of it. If I offend you at 165 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 2: some point in time in this show, you're welcome to 166 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: pour out your venom on me. I won't care, but 167 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: I'll read the email Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. Really, 168 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: no matter where you fall, I'll probably end up stepping 169 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: on some toes. Don't care spent three days thinking about it. 170 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: You're going to be my thoughts the Jesse Kelly's show. 171 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: We are trying to handcuffed tonight in a way that 172 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean, in a way that very few people have 173 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: been handcuffed. We have to talk about you around all 174 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: night long. I guess if you're a free citizen or 175 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: free woman who took off your huge job, you've been 176 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: handcuffed like this. But the rest of us have rarely 177 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: been handcuffed like this. You know, I don't like doing 178 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 2: foreign policy shows, but I know you want to hear 179 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: my thoughts on it. So why did we strike? Well, 180 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 2: let's listen to the people in our administration and what 181 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: they say. Remember, as I said in the beginning, everyone 182 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 2: is going to lie at all times. Your friends are 183 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: your enemies. Are you accept that? You know that? At 184 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: least you should. That's the way we are. Donald Trump, 185 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: why did we strike? 186 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 6: An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear 187 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 6: weapons would be a dire threat to every American. We 188 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 6: cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess 189 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 6: such weapons, would allow them to extort the world to 190 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 6: their evil. Will not gonna let it happen. We're not 191 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 6: happening to us, and we're not gonna let it happen 192 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: to others. 193 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: Okay, now let's talk about that. Pete Heexeth came out. 194 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 2: I've played it for you earlier, said hey, that we 195 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: can't let them have missiles, we can't let them have nukes, 196 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: and this isn't going to be an endless war. Pause 197 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: on that for a moment. I've used this analogy before, 198 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: I'll use it again. Here's here's something that Trump administration 199 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: is going to run into. They're going to run into 200 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: the fact that the American people are greenly jaded on 201 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: a couple different things. You know. Trump came out already 202 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: and he said, I don't care that the poll numbers 203 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: look bad for this. I have to do what's right. 204 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: All right, I got it. Why are the poll numbers 205 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: bad for this? What's the problem? Well, in Vietnam is 206 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 2: really where this kicked off a lot of people. And 207 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: I think I believe this by now, A lot of 208 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 2: people believe the Vietnam War was actually the turning point 209 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: for the United States of America because it completely severed 210 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: the trust between the American people and their government. We 211 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: got involved, we stayed involved, and no one was really 212 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: crystal clear on what the objective was. You kept hearing 213 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: things like stop communism, but that wasn't defined very well. Okay, 214 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 2: I don't so that was kind of a turning point 215 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: on it. And then you fast forward to Global War 216 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: on Terror days and you know, we have to Saddam 217 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: Hussein weapons of mass destruction. Remember that was one of 218 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: the major cells, weapons of mass destruction. He can't have it. 219 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: We have to do it now. Iran. Maybe Iran was 220 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 2: about to have a nuclear weapon. Maybe they were on 221 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: the path to having a nuclear weapon. Maybe they were not. 222 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: I don't know, and don't send me your emails. You 223 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: don't know either. We're always banking on the word of 224 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: this group or that group or this intelligence organization. We 225 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: don't know you or not. Neither of us know. 226 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. 227 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: But if I'd become a raging alcoholic and I start 228 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: showing up later and later from work every night because 229 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: I stop at the bar and get plastered on the 230 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: way home, and then I tell my wife that I'm 231 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: sorry and I'm going to clean up my life and 232 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: I'm not going to drink anymore. And then I come 233 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: home a half hour late one night, and I tell her, well, 234 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: the boss just kept me late. Ah, I had a 235 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: flat tire. She's probably going to give me a bit 236 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: of a side eye because of my history, which is 237 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: not good, the history I have of showing up late, 238 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: and the excuse is the lies I used to tell. Now, 239 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: maybe I did get a flat tire, maybe the boss 240 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: did keep me late in the office, but it doesn't 241 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: land the same way after previous lies. The United States government, 242 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: no matter who's been running it, Republican Democrats for a 243 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: long time, have told us that we have to go 244 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: in here, we have to do this, we have to 245 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: do that because they have weapons of mass destruction or 246 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: they're about to. They have nuclear weapons, or they're about to. 247 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: And the end result of that has been Americans locked 248 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: in a very very long conflict with an ill defined end. 249 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: I'm not blaming that Donald Trump for that. He's never 250 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: done that, but he did walk into a situation where 251 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: the American people are already used to that. We've been 252 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 2: sold that a thousand times, and maybe right now it's real. 253 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: Maybe Iran was building an ICBM aimed at New York 254 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: City and it was gonna launch tomorrow. That's a tough 255 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: sell now, because I've heard that lie before. Don't tell 256 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: me you had a flat tire. I think you stopped 257 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: at the bar, because your history is you stopped at 258 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: the bar. 259 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you did have a flat tire, Maybe you didn't. 260 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm buying that. We'll continue. 261 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: Hey, the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. 262 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: Remember you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow 263 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: dot com. Do remember, before we continue to say a 264 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: prayer for our troops, we have already lost some families. 265 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: Maybe as we speak, are already getting that knock at 266 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 2: the door that every parent, wife, husband, child dreads. Pray 267 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: for those families. Pray for every single American service member 268 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: in harm's way right now. Pray for those of us 269 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: who are here in the continental United States of America 270 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: as we already looks like we already suffered a terrorist 271 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: attack because of this. In Austin, Texas, some jihadi wearing 272 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: a property of Allah walked into a very popular well 273 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 2: to do bar in Austin, Texas and gunned down three people. 274 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 2: Americans are dying here, Americans are dying in foreign lands already. 275 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: We need prayer, right now pray for everybody's safety. By 276 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: the way, keep your eyes open no matter where you are, 277 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 2: so prayer. Now back to what we were discussing, Jewish 278 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 2: producer Chris brought up during the break that the poll 279 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 2: numbers because I mentioned the pool numbers, The poll numbers 280 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: show the American people don't like or they like the strike. 281 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: They don't like the idea of the war. 282 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: Ah, we bombed them. 283 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: Good. Wait, we're still there. And that brings me to 284 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: this point. I mentioned what Pete Hagesath earlier said about 285 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 2: endless war. 286 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 5: The media outlets and political left streaming endless wars. 287 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: Stop. This is not a rack. 288 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 5: This is not endless. 289 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 2: I was there for both. 290 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 5: Our generation knows better, and so does this president. He 291 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: called the last twenty years of nation building wars dumb, 292 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 5: and he's right. 293 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: Here's the truth, and it's a truth I know the 294 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: Trump administration knows. It is a truth that many many 295 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: ruling regimes throughout history either didn't know or they ignored 296 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: to their peril. There is something that is pretty much 297 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: universal about war throughout history. The people of any nation, 298 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 2: when that regime takes that nation to war, the people 299 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: of the nation will have a finite amount of tolerance 300 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: for the war. Now that would of course beg the 301 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: question how much tolerance. That completely depends on a variety 302 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: of things, what kind of things. First of all, the 303 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: conditions at home? What are the conditions at home? If 304 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 2: people are generally happy, healthy, well fed, paying job kids 305 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: are safe. If that is a situation at home and 306 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: people feel like that's the situation at home, that will 307 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 2: give the regime that went to war much more rope 308 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: if you will, and no, no, no, no no, take all the 309 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 2: time you need if the people are happy at home. 310 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 2: That's one part of it. Another part of it is, 311 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 2: and I mentioned this last week, another part of it 312 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: is the motivation for getting in it. That's a big 313 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 2: part of it. What's a good example of this. Americans 314 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 2: generally know, maybe you don't, but they generally know what 315 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: happened after the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor in World War Two. 316 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: It's one of those really cool look backs in history. 317 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 2: What happened the Japanese sucker punched us in World War two? 318 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 2: They bombed us in Pearl Harbor without declaring war first. 319 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: And now you can see pictures on the internet, wonderful 320 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: to look at after that at the military recruiting stations, 321 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: there were lines blocks long of young men saying no, no, no, 322 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: I'm signing up. Men. This is a sad, terrible apartment. 323 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: It's true men who maybe didn't qualify for military service 324 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: medically or otherwise. Some of them committed suicide in World 325 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: War II out of the shame of not being able 326 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: to serve. That is a unique level of motivation for 327 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: a nation. You bombed us, screw you. I'll wait in 328 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 2: line all day, several blocks all I just want to 329 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: kill some Japs. That was the motivation. You had a country, 330 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 2: all of it, men, women, north, south, east, west, completely motivated. 331 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 2: You sucker punched up let's roll. But even then didn't 332 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 2: last forever. Do you know? One of the main concerns 333 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: of the regime, the presidential administration during World War Two, 334 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 2: after a few years of death and carnage and misery, 335 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 2: when we were leading up to Ewojima, the marine invasion 336 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: of Ewogima, they were starting to look at the poll 337 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: numbers Americans. After we bomb Pearl Harbor, I forget the numbers. 338 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: It's something like ninety seven percent wanted to go to war. 339 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 2: That's basically an entire country. Those poll numbers of Americans 340 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: supporting the war by the time we got to Ewojima 341 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: were tacking down and down and down and down, as 342 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: fathers come home and body bags, and sons come home 343 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: and body bags. And there are enough bad stories about 344 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: dead soldiers here, sailor's there, dead marines here. Soon at 345 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: your cousin who died, your brother who died, your best 346 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 2: friend's mom died, over and over and over again. These stories, 347 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: over times, slowly but surely chip away at the population's 348 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 2: motivation for war. So by the time we walked out 349 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: of Ewojima with over six thousand dead marines, the administration 350 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 2: thought about just lying about the whole thing. That's how 351 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 2: bad it was. They said, oh my gosh, the public 352 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 2: is going to completely turn against us. And the public 353 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 2: was really outraged by that kind of loss of life. 354 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: Even after Pearl Harbor recruiting lines around the block a 355 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: few years later of body bags, it was understood that 356 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: this war is losing popularity very very quickly. Now let's 357 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: talk about I wrong. How long is it going to 358 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: go on? Trump said, we have. 359 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: The strongest and most powerful by far military in the world, 360 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: and we will easily prevail. We're already substantially ahead of 361 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: our time projections. But whatever the time is, it's okay. 362 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 4: Whatever it takes, we will always and we have right 363 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 4: from the beginning we projected four to five weeks. 364 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: Pete Texas says it won't be endless, all right? Do 365 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: the American people with we just hit another record this morning, 366 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: record high credit card debt? Do the American people have 367 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: the stomach for four or five weeks of war with Iran? 368 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to sell that to them. Is this 369 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: enough to sell it to them? 370 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 6: An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear 371 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 6: weapons would be a dire threat to every American. We 372 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 6: cannot allow a nation that raise his terrorist armies to 373 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 6: possess such weapons, would allow them to extort the world 374 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 6: to their evil. Will not gonna let it happen. We're 375 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 6: not happening to us, and we're not gonna let it 376 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 6: happen to others. 377 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that question. I just 378 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: asked you, by the way, do the American people have 379 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: the stomach for four weeks of that? I don't know. 380 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: But what I do know is the tolerance of the 381 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: American public for this is going to be finite the 382 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: first twenty four forty eight hours. It's always going to 383 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 2: be the best for the regime that went to war. 384 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: You remember Venezuela. Why did we love it so much? 385 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: We sent Delta Force into a place we didn't like 386 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,959 Speaker 2: and snatched up a guy we didn't like, and we 387 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: didn't lose a man, and we never had to stress 388 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: about anything. We just woke up one morning and we'd 389 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: had this amazing military victory and it was all you'd say, 390 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: us say, everyone else sucks, and it felt great because 391 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: we were in. We were out, nice. 392 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: And clean, no must, no fuss. 393 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 2: We did it. But that's different than what this is. 394 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: This might not be four or five weeks. There are 395 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: so many aspects to this. What we're doing, why we're 396 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 2: doing it. I'm not criticizing the motivations for it, by 397 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 2: the way, maybe they're all great, maybe they're garbage. We're 398 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: going to discuss all this, the different factions behind it, 399 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 2: who are pushing it, the different factions pushing against it. Again, 400 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: not on nefarious. A lot of people, maybe you fall 401 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: into one of those factions. A lot of people extremely 402 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: genuine in their motivations. And we're gonna look, we're gonna 403 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: hash all this out best we can. Well, we're still 404 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 2: gonna do Metal of Honor Monday ten minutes so now 405 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 2: and then we'll come back to it. All right, It 406 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 2: is the Jessie Kelly Show on a wonderful Monday, even 407 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: though we have to spend the day talking about Iran 408 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: and foreign policy. And of course I'm going to get 409 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: to your emails and try to get to some other 410 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: stuff during this show. But as I told you, this 411 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: is gonna be my Iran centric show and you ain't 412 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: getting another one unless there's something big going on. We'll 413 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: touch on it, but this is just not what I do. 414 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: I care about America Americans. I want you to get 415 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 2: fifty million foreigners out of my life, and I want 416 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: American credit card debt to go down, and I want 417 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 2: you to be able to afford to buy a stake 418 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 2: at the grocery store. Again, these are my motivations, but 419 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: let's discuss the reality. And if what I'm about to 420 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: say is about to make you happy, don't worry. I'm 421 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: gonna make you very very angry, and vice versa. What 422 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: I'm about to do is I'm gonna lay out some justifications, 423 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: some honest justifications to want to remove the Iranian regime 424 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 2: and some real positives potentially of that going forward. Like 425 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: I said, if that makes you stand up and cheer, 426 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: pause on that, because I'm gonna talk about the drawbacks too. 427 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: That might have to wait till next hour. Of the drawbacks, 428 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: but potential drawbacks, I'll get to that before we do 429 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: anything else. Let's do remember this though, matter what your 430 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: stances for against whatever, don't care. We don't root against 431 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: the troops. The troops right now are wonderful patriots, and 432 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: they are in harms what they are already dying. 433 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 6: US military service members have been killed in action. As 434 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 6: one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who 435 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 6: have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as 436 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 6: we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. 437 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 6: We pray for the full recovery of the wounded, and 438 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 6: send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families 439 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 6: of the fallen, and sadly there will likely be more 440 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 6: before it. 441 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 2: Pray. We don't root against the troops. You can hate 442 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: every bit of this conflict or love it. We root 443 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: for our troops, for them all to come home. So 444 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 2: and we pray for them all. Right now, before we 445 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: do the negatives, let's do the justification, potential justification for this. 446 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do the nuclear weapon thing. I'm 447 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 2: not because I'm insanely distrustful of it. I'll just be 448 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: honest with you. I am. I'm distrustful because I've heard 449 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 2: that Iran is about to get a nuclear weapon for 450 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 2: I think twenty years. Twenty years, Chris, is that about right? 451 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 2: Twenty years. I've heard that they're on the verge of 452 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. So I'm going to set that aside. Again, 453 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: maybe they were, maybe they weren't. I just don't buy it. 454 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: Set that aside right now. Iranians have been carrying out 455 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: acts of terror for a very long time. Do you 456 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 2: remember when we were in Iraq? Do you remember? Because 457 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: I actually wasn't there for this part. People think the 458 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: part of Iraq I was there for was the worst part, 459 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: and it was not. I missed the worst part. I 460 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 2: was there as a young infantry marine. I was there 461 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: for the invasion where when George Bush declared war, I 462 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: was parked in Kuwait with my marine unit and we 463 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 2: went across the border and fought our way through the 464 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: country and all that. That's when I was there. But 465 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: when a lot of people think of Iraq, they think 466 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: about all the IEDs that were going off these roadside bombs. 467 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: You'd have Americans being killed, Americans being maimed. Maybe you 468 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 2: know one, maybe you are one to this day, missing limbs, 469 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: maybe your brain got rocked really good. Maybe when all 470 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 2: that was happening in Iran, you know who was providing 471 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: so much of the training for that or any Iraq 472 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: That's when that was happening in Iraq. Sorry I misspoke there. 473 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 2: You know who was providing so much of the training 474 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: for that Iran. I have hated Iran ever since that 475 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: day because I have been in the VA hospitals and 476 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: I have seen men you would consider to be relative young, 477 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 2: missing legs, missing hands, clearly burned, and a lot of 478 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: that goes back to Iran. Be root goes back to Iran. 479 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 2: Let's also remember this Iran. They did try to assassinate 480 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: Donald Trump back in twenty twenty four. They did. Trump 481 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: mentioned it. I know he probably doesn't want to make 482 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: this about him, and that's fine. I respect that, But 483 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: for me, that is the best justification that the administration 484 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be using very often. Iran tried to 485 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: kill Donald Trump, I would feel the exact same way 486 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 2: if they tried to kill a politician I hated, by 487 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: the way, you have to die if you try to 488 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: kill one of our politicians. If Iran tried to kill 489 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: Eric Swalwell, I think we should go kill them for it. 490 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 2: If they tried to kill Joe Biden, we should go 491 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: kill them for it. If they try to you pick 492 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: the American politician you hate the most. He's a foreign government. 493 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: You do not get to send agents into this country 494 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: to try to assassinate our our people, any of them. 495 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 2: That should be an automatic death sentence. Iran tried to 496 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 2: kill Donald Trump. The word is they tried to kill 497 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: him twice. We pretty much know they tried to kill 498 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: him once. You can't let that stand. That cannot be 499 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 2: allowed to stand on the world stage. So those are 500 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: some potential justifications for what we did in Iran. Another one, 501 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: and this one again, this gets convoluted, it gets complicated, complicated, 502 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: it gets complicated. But here's another one. China. China gets 503 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: oil from Venezuela, not so much anymore now I take 504 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 2: that back. We are still selling them Venezuelan oil. But 505 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 2: we can cut it off. Clearly, at any time China 506 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: gets oil from on not so much anymore you're gonna 507 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: sell it to them, but can cut them off at 508 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 2: any time. China has a gigantic and increasing every day 509 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: war machine. They're building up their military. You only build 510 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 2: up a military like that with the intention of using it, 511 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 2: Otherwise you don't want to incur the cost of maintaining 512 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: a military of that size. They are building up a 513 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 2: gigantic military with the intention of using it. So much 514 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 2: of everyone's military stalls and stops without oil. By taking Venezuela, 515 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 2: essentially taking Venezuela, you know what I mean by controlling 516 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 2: Venezuelan oil. By potentially taking control of Iranian oil, you 517 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: have cut off your number one geo political foe from 518 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: the energy they need to fund the war machine. You 519 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 2: want to lay out some reasons that justifications there they 520 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 2: are Maybe that made you feel good, Now I'm gonna 521 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 2: make you feel bad. What are some dangers, what are 522 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: some drawbacks. We'll discuss that next hour, but before we 523 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: get to that, we're gonna pause and honor a hero. 524 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: Medal of honor. Monday doesn't stop. Medal of honor Monday 525 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: next
