I meant to get it 9 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: to it in the first hour. It didn't have time 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: to get to it. But because I was gone last 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: night in the hospital, I'm gonna do Medal of Honor Tuesday. 12 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: Every Monday at this time. Holy now it's Tuesday. We 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: read a Medal of Honor citation. We honor a hero, 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: we honor his deeds. And I actually read a book, 15 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: one of the very first Marine Corps books I read 16 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: in my entire life was about this man, Gregory Pappy Boyington. 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: I believe the title of the book was bad, Bad 18 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: Black Sheep Boyett. I read it when I was a kid, 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: So if I screwed that up, forgive me. But I 20 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: think Pappy Boyington's book, or a book written about him, 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: was bad, Bad Black Sheep outstanding book. The aviators in 22 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: World War Two. We've talked before about them, the guys 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: who made those bombing runs over Europe, the guys who 24 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: did all the flying in the Pacific, so intensely brave. 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: That was right, Chris, the name of the book. Oh 26 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: how about that bad, bad black Sheep. If you're fascinated 27 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: by this story, and I'll tell you it really really 28 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: hits me, and I've encouraged you to do this before, 29 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: to go to any kind of an aviation museum. Usually 30 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: there's one in your area, if you're vacationing one, looked 31 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: for one, there seems to be a lot of them 32 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: around the country, and go look at these World War 33 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: two planes, just thin, little looks like a flying soda can. 34 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: And these guys would just hop in these planes and 35 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: they fly out over the open water, and by the way, 36 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: would crash and never be heard from again. They would 37 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: get shot down, never be heard from again, crash into 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: each other, never be heard from again. Whether it's just 39 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: it's not taking your Delta Airlines flight for two hours 40 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: where you have about a ninety nine point nine to 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: nine percent chance of survival. This thing is brittle. Something 42 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: could go wrong. You could get shot and you're gone. 43 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: These guys were intensely brave human beings, and so Pappy 44 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: Boyington was born in Cordeline, Idaho, would highly recommend you 45 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: stop in quadline if you ever have a chance. Completely beautiful, 46 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: at least it was when I was there. And this 47 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: was from World War II in the Pacific. So without 48 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: further ado. 49 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: Right, hey, honoring those who went above and beyond its 50 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: Medal of Honor Monday. 51 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: For extraordinary heroism and valiant devotion to duty. As commanding 52 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: officer of Marine Fighting Squadron two fourteen in action against 53 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: enemy Japanese forces in the Central Solomon's area from the 54 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: twelfth of September nineteen forty three to the third of 55 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: January nineteen forty four. Consistently outnumbered throughout successful hazardous flights 56 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: over heavily defended hostile territory, Major Boyington struck at the 57 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: enemy with daring and courageous persistence, leading his squadron into 58 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: combat with devastating results to Japanese ship, shore installations and 59 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: aerial forces. Resolute in his efforts to inflict critical damage 60 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: on the enemy, Major Boyington led a formation of twenty 61 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: four fighters over Khali Lee on the seventeenth of October 62 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: and persistently circling the air drone where sixty hostile aircraft 63 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: were grounded, boldly challenged the Japanese to send up planes. 64 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: Under his brilliant command, our fighters shot down twenty enemy 65 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: craft in the ensuing action without the loss of a 66 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: single ship. A superb airman and determined fighter against overwhelming odds, 67 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Major Boyington personally destroyed twenty six of the many Japanese 68 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: planes shot down by his squadron, and by his forceful leadership, 69 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: developed the combat readiness in his command which was a 70 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: distinctive factor and the Allied aerial achievements in this vitally 71 00:04:54,040 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: strategic area. Never forget the air woarriyor of World War Two. 72 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: And you know bk You know our buddy bk Our 73 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: former Air Force PJ, one of these warrior types. He 74 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: joins the show. If you listen, you know who BK is. 75 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: BKA said something I think it was last time he 76 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: was on, one of the last times he was on, 77 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: and I loved it so much because it was so 78 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: true and most people don't realize it. All human beings 79 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: were fascinated with with foreign things, which which are less 80 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: known to us, and they seem exotic. In fact, we 81 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: described them as exotic. I'm gonna eat exotic foods today. 82 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: You're going to Panda Express, all right, but the exotic 83 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: and the same thing when it comes to other countries warriors. 84 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: When when I joined the Marine Corps, I was I 85 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: mean young, we were all young, and I was fascinated 86 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: too with the warriors from other countries who we meet 87 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: or work with from time to time, very fascinated with them, 88 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: because of course Spain must have something figured out right, 89 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: Not that they're better than us, but wow, they're gonna 90 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: be so impressive like this, And we were told before 91 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: we go jungle warfare with the Time Marines. Wow, these 92 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: time Marines, they're jungle fighters that they seem exotic, don't 93 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: they it's foreign they do. They'd probably drake tiger's blood 94 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: at night. But you discover something, not that other countries 95 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: don't have excellent warriors. They do, certainly countries like the UK, 96 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: believe it or not, France has some great warriors. There 97 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: are other warriors out there, but the more you meet them, 98 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: train with them, work with them, you discover something that 99 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: BK said to everybody on the radio, last time he 100 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: was on. The American Fighting Man is the fighting man 101 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: on the planet. The spirit of the American fighting Man. 102 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: Americans love to fight, we love guns, we love to fight, 103 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: we love to win. We're really good at it. And 104 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: if you ever dig into ESP well, World War two 105 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: in Europe is the same too. But you know my 106 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: fascination with World War two in the Pacific, if you 107 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: ever dig into some of these missions, these these fighters 108 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: went through, the aerial guys, the submarines went through. They're 109 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: so dangerous that they almost seemed like certain death, some 110 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: of these missions. And you don't find the guys sitting 111 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: around lamenting it. I don't want to go. I'm afraid 112 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I probably won't come back. They can't wait. They're dying 113 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to go. No, get me in my submarine so I 114 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: can go behind enemy lines and just start sinking enemy ships. No, 115 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: get me on my plane. I don't care we're outnumbered. 116 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: I want to go mess some people up. I want 117 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: to go fight some people. You know, it's actually an 118 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: example of World War Two in the Pacific where we 119 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: think of the Japanese Japanese as ah there are these 120 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: Samurai warriors willing to die for the emperor, and they 121 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: certainly they were, they were tough. I'm not denying that. 122 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: But the Japanese discovered something that the Germans discovered in 123 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: World War Two that many other countries and many other 124 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: places have discovered. The American fighting man is no freaking joke. 125 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: He likes to fight, and he's going to fight, and 126 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be ultra aggressive. 127 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: We have. 128 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: An aggressive type a male culture. Something that hit me 129 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: when we were in Iraq is even there, you know, 130 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: you think, at least I thought, I shouldn't say you think. 131 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: I thought before we went that we were going to 132 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: run into some you know, Saladen type of Islamic army 133 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: culture of warriors there will wanting to die for Allah. 134 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: And of course there were some brave guys there who 135 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: wanted to die, and we obliged them, but so many 136 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: of them were just soft soft and you get a 137 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: hold of them physically, even if you was kind of 138 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: a decent sized dude, he was just kind of mushy. 139 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: And then you look around at us, all that physical training, 140 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: all that mental training, just being an American, and you 141 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: think to yourself, yeah, exotic sounds fine, I'll eat it. 142 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: Panda Express. In the end, give me McDonald's. So anyway, 143 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: I wanted you to take pride in that. If you're 144 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: an American, I know we have people listening from around 145 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: the world. Remember, if I just offended anybody with anything 146 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: I just said, I don't care. You're welcome to emailing 147 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: the show you love, your hate, your death threats, whatever 148 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: you would like.

You've heard Joe Kent on this show. 151 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: He resigned today. He resigned publicly. I guess we can 152 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: touch on some Iran stuff. We'll good to some Iran emails. 153 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll touch on this whole thing. It's it's a big story. 154 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: A bunch of people were talking about it. I'll touch 155 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: on it, and I'll touch on it next. 156 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 3: Hang on, true, it's the Jesse Kelly Show. 157 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Saint Patty's day, 158 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 2: churning through everything. 159 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: Now, let's deal with uh, one of the uncomfortable stories 160 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: of the day. So we'll take away at some Iran emails. 161 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: Semi ron questions you have on the latest and greatest 162 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: or worst, depending on your perspective. But Joe Kent, Joe 163 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: Kent was until this morning, apparently the director of the 164 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: National counter Terrorism Center. Now let's rewind a little bit. 165 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: In case you don't know Kenner, you haven't heard him 166 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: on this show. Joe Kent came on the show when 167 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: he was running for Congress in Washington State. Joe Kent 168 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: was Green Beret eleven deployments. He then left that secret 169 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: warrior life and went on and worked in CIA's ground 170 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: branch doing deployments with them. That's basically CIA's Navy seals 171 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: doing stuff. So Joe Kent is one of those American 172 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: superhero type guys. He is Joe Kent's wife. I've out 173 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: called her ex wife. God forgive me for that. Joe 174 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: Kent was married. Joe Kent's wife was CIA, and she 175 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: got killed by a terrorist will deployed in Afghanistan. Joe Can, 176 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: I believe has remarried. Now that's not really important for 177 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: our purposes here. Joe Kent has been since I've known him, 178 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: really kind of a non interventionist type. They not what 179 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: you would call a pacifist, being as how he's Joe 180 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: Rigging Kent. But I don't want to send American troops overseas. 181 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: That's really been his thing. So Trump administration makes him 182 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: the director of the National counter Terrorism Center. What do 183 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: they do exactly? The National counter Terrorism Center, They really 184 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: focus domestically. That's what you should know. That's their domestic focus. 185 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: Their idea is stop terrorist attacks here at home. So 186 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: woke up today and look, I won't read you the 187 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: whole letter that he put I'll just put out the 188 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: statement he put on social media. If you want to 189 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: go look at the letter he put out there. Here 190 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: was Joe Kent. And keep in mind, really, no matter 191 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: your stance on any of this, I'm probably about to 192 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: make you angry. So get ready. Joe Kent said this, 193 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: after much reflection, I have decided to resign from my 194 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: position as Director of the National counter Terrorism Center, effective today. 195 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. 196 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it 197 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: is clear that we started this war due to pressure 198 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been 199 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: honored to serve under Potus and DNC Gabbard Tulsa Gabbard 200 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: and leading the professionals at the NCTC that's the National 201 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: counter Terrorism Center, and he finishes a god bless America. 202 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: The letter, the actual official letter is longer. I'm not 203 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: going to read it. It's too detailed about it. So 204 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: that was not exactly quietly stepping away. That was Joe 205 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: Kent throwing that bomb out there. As you can imagine, 206 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, after being publicly lambasted like that, came 207 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: out hard against Joe Kent, accusations that he was leaking information. 208 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt put out a strong statement. Trump was asked 209 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: about it. Here's what Trump said. 210 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: I thought he was a nice guy, but I always 211 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 4: thought he was weak on security, very weak on security. 212 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 4: I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed 213 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: like a pretty nice guy. But when I read a statement, 214 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 4: I realized that it's a good thing that he's out, 215 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran 216 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 4: was a threat every country it realized what a threat 217 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: Atran was. 218 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: Of course, the news, different cable news organizations are chewing 219 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: up a story like this, as you can imagine. Here 220 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: was Fox. 221 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 5: News our own Aisha Hofsni reporting that on background to 222 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 5: a senior administration official says that Joe Kent was cut 223 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 5: out of POTUS intelligence briefings months ago due to allegations 224 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 5: of suspected leaks, and that he has not been a 225 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 5: part of any Iran planning discussions or briefings at all, 226 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: which sort of posed the disconnect addressed earlier this morning 227 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 5: by the Administration saying that he wasn't privy to the 228 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 5: classified information that indeed underscores and proves provides the evidence 229 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 5: that Iran was nuclear empowered or about to be. 230 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Okay, well, that has been confirmed by many sources that 231 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't part of Iran talks. But back to what 232 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: I was saying, he wouldn't have been part of Iran talks. 233 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: His job is domestic. That's as you would. There will 234 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: be no reason to include him in Iran talks. But okay, 235 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: he was caught out of Iran talks CNN. As you 236 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: can imagine, they think this makes Trump look bad, so 237 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: here's how they're reporting it. 238 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 6: In this letter, writes in part quote, as a veteran 239 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 6: who deployed to combat eleven times, and as a gold 240 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 6: star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a 241 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 6: war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next 242 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 6: generation off to fight and die in a war that 243 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 6: serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the 244 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 6: cost of American lives now. Kent, in his apparent post 245 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 6: on X does also seem to suggest that there was 246 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 6: no imminent threat, that it has been used and cited 247 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 6: by the Trump administration is justification for launching this war 248 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 6: against Iran. He says that essentially the administration manufactured this 249 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 6: idea of an imminent threat, and that is part of 250 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 6: the reason why he is deciding to resign from his 251 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 6: post today. 252 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's do this, and like I said, I'm 253 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: getting ready to make everyone angry. Let me reiterate what 254 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: I said last segment when we were doing Medal of 255 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: honor Tuesday. Some things I have very strong opinions on, 256 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: some things I don't, and there are some things I 257 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: want to wait and see on. I understand people tune 258 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: in in part to hear my opinion on things, so 259 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: I understand that that's part of the job. Sometimes some stories, 260 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: I would even say often I don't have an opinion 261 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: on it yet because we don't know yet. Iran in general, 262 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I'll just tell you again what I've said a bunch 263 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: Iran in general, the Iranian Operation success for or not. 264 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, and neither do you. We won't know, 265 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: We won't know yet. No one knows will it succeed? Well, 266 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, and neither do you. No one knows yet. 267 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: The Joe Kent resignation, the Trump administration response that I 268 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: will touch on in a moment. Before I touch on that, 269 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: let me touch your phone. Actually, I don't want to 270 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: touch your phone. It's probably Jeremy. When's the last time 271 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: you disinfected that? But I do want to I do 272 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: want to tell you that Verizon AT and T T Mobile, 273 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: they are horrible companies. I mentioned earlier how America, that 274 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: the evil parts of America that haven't moved off of DEI. 275 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: They're just changing names, they're changing titles, but they're still 276 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: pushing it. You know your cell phoned company, if you 277 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: have Verizon AT and T and T Mobile, they're still 278 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: pushing all that crap. It's awful, It's absolutely awful. It's 279 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: it's an attack on this country. It's destructive. And you 280 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: can switch to pure Talk. You can switch to the 281 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: mobile company that shares and promotes your values. That's pure Talk. 282 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: Two Tour Vietnam veteran leads Pure talk. Pick up your phone. 283 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: You'll save money. You can keep your phone. It's easy. 284 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: Don't think it's gonna be some pain. They make it easy. 285 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: Dial pound two five zero and say Jesse Kelly Pound 286 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: two five zero, Say Jesse Kelly. We'll be back Jesse Kelly. 287 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Saint Patty's Day. 288 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: If you miss any part of the show, you can 289 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: download at iHeart, Spotify iTunes. So the Joe Kent resignation, 290 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: the Trump administration response, I'm unsure about a part of this, 291 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: So let me explain. I have a rule. I like Joe, 292 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: I would consider him probably a friend. I don't know. 293 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: We're not that close. But I like Joe kennelot and 294 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: I certainly respect him and what he's done for this country. 295 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: But my rule applies really at all times, with one exception. 296 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: My rule is what when it comes to your former employer, 297 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: it's the same rule that comes to your ex girlfriend, 298 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: your ex boyfriend, your ex wife, your ex husband. What 299 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: is my rule? You do not trash them in public. Now, 300 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the exception, and this is my 301 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: concern here. You do not trash them in public. I 302 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: know this is the social media era where everybody has 303 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: to vomit out all their feelings at all times. And 304 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show Tony. I'm gonna tell everybody his breath stunk. 305 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: But you know why, you don't trash your former employer 306 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: or your ex girlfriend. Not for their sake. Maybe they 307 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: deserve trashing. You don't trash them publicly for your sake 308 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: because your next employer potentially is watching you do it, 309 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: and you just cost yourself a job. Your next girlfriend 310 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: or boyfriend, they're watching you do it, and you just 311 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: cost yourself a date to the prom. Don't trash your 312 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: former employer publicly, which brings me to the statement itself. 313 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: Joe Kent could have said, I have some disagreements, thank 314 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: potus for the opportunity. I'm resigning today and moving on 315 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: to other things. Instead, he went into a lot of detail. 316 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: You know, I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing 317 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: war in Iran. They pose no imminent threat. It's clear 318 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: we started this war due to pressure from Israel. That 319 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: is some pretty pointed commentary. That's that because of his 320 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: public response, the Trump administration and the Trump allies has 321 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: spent the day trashing Joe Kent, which leads me to this. 322 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: The exception to that rule of not trashing your former employer, 323 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: and honestly, I would consider this. The only exception to 324 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: that rule is if you believe lives are critically at stake, 325 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: that if you don't say something, people are going to die. Now, 326 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: I have not talked to Joe Kent, and I don't 327 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: know Joe Kent's reasoning. I'm not going to put words 328 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: in his mouth. That's why I told you I want 329 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: to wait and see. Does Joe Kent know something something 330 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: that's coming that we don't know, and that's why he 331 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: felt the need to say something. I don't know. I 332 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: don't have any idea, and neither do you. So don't 333 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: email me and tell me you know. Neither of us 334 00:21:54,040 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: know yet. We will wait and see. On that couple things. First, 335 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: do not trash Joe Kent's patriotism. The man did eleven 336 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: tours and lost his wife for this country. He's not 337 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: a trader. You can hate him, you can disagree with him. 338 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: He ain't no trader, all right. That's one two on 339 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: Trump's side in this whole thing. They've been blasting him 340 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: all day. The Trump chief of staff. I think it 341 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: was Deputy Chief of Staff Caroline Levitt. Trump himself blasted 342 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: in both barrels. Joe Kent's a big boy. You come 343 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: out and publicly trash the Trump administration like that, you 344 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: have to know they're going to give it right back 345 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: to you, and they're going to give it back to 346 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: you hard. That's what happens, and the supplies to you too. 347 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: You want to trash your ex wife on Twitter, well 348 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: she's gonna come right on back and she's gonna do 349 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: the same thing to you. Take it publicly, and now 350 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: you've made an enemy for life, and you will be 351 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: treated as an enemy. It's one of those things I've 352 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: told you over and over and over again for your life, 353 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: your personal life, your business life. Disagree with people in private, privately, Privately, 354 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: you can have a knockdown, drag out fight with your boss, 355 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: your best friend, your wife, your boyfriend. You can look, 356 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you can yell at each other, call each other names privately, 357 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: because privately there may be hurt feelings, there may be 358 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: animosity there. But you know what, you don't add to 359 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: the mix. You don't add embarrassment and shame. When you 360 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: publicly embarrass somebody. You put out a public statement, you 361 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: publicly embarrass somebody. You have taken a disagreement that could 362 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: maybe have been resolved, and you have made AID an 363 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: enemy for life. Keep your disagreements private private, all right. 364 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: As far as the validity of what Joe Kent said, 365 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: I don't know one. Neither do you. I haven't the 366 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: Trump has said multiple times that he was shown intelligence 367 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: that we were about to be attacked. That's what he said, right, 368 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: he said that multiple times. They were about to attack us. 369 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: That's what Trump said, they were about to attack us. 370 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that in neither of you. That's probably classified. 371 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I am curious what those targets were. 372 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: What did the intel show? What what was coming next? 373 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: I am I'm very curious about that. What was Iran 374 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: planning to attack? I don't know. I'm curious what the 375 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: intelligence shows. Neither do you. This is another one of 376 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: those says we have to wait and see. Trump has 377 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: said it repeatedly as for fighting a war for Israel. 378 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: The people who think that, and maybe you think that 379 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has to tighten up its messaging if 380 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: they want those kinds of accusations to stop because Trump 381 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: goes on camera and he says this, if you couldn't. 382 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 7: Make the case that maybe we shouldn't even be there 383 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 7: at all because we don't need it. 384 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 4: We have a lot of oil. 385 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 7: Be with the number one producer anywhere in the world 386 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 7: times soon my double at least now, I think it's 387 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 7: much higher than that. But we do it. It's almost 388 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 7: like we do it for having but we also do 389 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 7: it for some very good allies that we have in 390 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 7: the Middle East. 391 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: I understand Trump speaks off the cuff. He speaks whatever 392 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: is on his mind, and people like that. You probably 393 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: know people like that. They're always hot or cold. Sometimes 394 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: you love them and sometimes you hate them. If the 395 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: true our administration is worried about accusations that we are 396 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: fighting a war on behalf of Israel, if they're worried 397 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: about those, and they're understandably worried about those, because that's 398 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: not a great look. If they're worried about those, Trump 399 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: saying we did it and we didn't even have to 400 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: do it. We have all the oil we need, but 401 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: we have some great allies in the Middle East. Look, 402 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: that's that's not what you're going for. But message discipline. 403 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Look this is how many years now of Donald Trump 404 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: in public life. Message discipline is never what you're going 405 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: to get with them. Donald Trump is going to speak 406 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: off the cuff. He's going to say whatever happens to 407 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: pop into his head. He'll say a thousand different things, 408 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: and sometimes some of them land. Well. He's still trying 409 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: to sell it, and he's still letting you know, hey, look, 410 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: it was pretty much overall. 411 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 4: Right now, it's just a military operation. To me, Iran 412 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 4: is some thing that was essentially largely over in two 413 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 4: or three days. 414 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: And he said this, can we wrap this war up 415 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: this week? 416 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 4: Yeah? 417 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: Sure will. 418 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 4: I don't think somebody it'll be soon, won't be alone. 419 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 4: And we're gonna have a much safer world when it's 420 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 4: wrapped up. It'll be wrapped up soon. We're gonna have 421 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 4: a much safer world. I had an obligation to do this. 422 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: I didn't want to. I go to an excursion. I 423 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 4: didn't want to make this journey. And we had the 424 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 4: highest stock market in history, we had low gas prices. 425 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 4: Everything was good. And I know exactly, I know what 426 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 4: you know. You're gonna do it, and people are going 427 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: to embrace the price of well and it's but but 428 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 4: I know that. But that's a very small thing compared 429 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: to allowing them to have you want to see a 430 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 4: stock market, good dawn, start letting them hit you with nukes. 431 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 1: Okay, uh I, we'll get to some emails on this 432 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: next Jesse. 433 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 2: It is the Jesse Kelly Show, Saint Patrick's stage show, 434 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 2: a special show. 435 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: So let's finish up. We'll get to the emails on this. 436 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: Because something else is happening with this whole Iran stuff. 437 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: NATO's not helping. They're not getting involved. Definitely appears to 438 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: be kind of a one way thing. Russia invay Ukraine, 439 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: not even a NATO country. America does like ninety five 440 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: percent of the support over there, we run even over there. 441 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: Now we launch an operation in Iran, NATO is not 442 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: getting involved. 443 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: All of our NATO allies were very much in favor 444 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 4: of what we did. They thought it was a very 445 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 4: important We were just discussing it actually very important that 446 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 4: we take out the nuclear threat from Moran, and we've 447 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: done that. All of the NATO allies agreed with us, 448 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 4: but they don't want to, you know, despite the fact 449 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 4: that we help them so much. We have thousands of 450 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 4: soldiers in different countries all over the world and they 451 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 4: don't want to help us, which is amazing, I mean amazing, 452 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 4: But I was surprised to see that NATO. While they 453 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 4: agreed that it was a very important thing to do, 454 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 4: they agree fully. Nobody said, oh, you shouldn't do it. 455 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: They would have had a nuclear weapon within one month 456 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 4: of when we had to beat two bombers. Bomb the 457 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 4: nuclear potential, I go it the nuclear dust. So I 458 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: think NATO's making a very foolish mistake. 459 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: Are they? And I asked it because of this, are 460 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: we going to pull out on NATO. NATO's making a 461 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: foolish mistake. Okay, what's going to be their punishment for it? 462 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: NATO's making a serious mistake. I'm bringing this up not 463 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: to take a shot at the trumpet. Minut America likes 464 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: to complain about NATO because we do it all and 465 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: they don't do hardly anything, and we're always saying you 466 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: should do more, you should do more, you should do more. 467 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: But then they don't do more, and nothing happens. If 468 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: we never pull. 469 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 8: Out, why wouldn't they keep doing it? If you're a 470 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 8: NATO country, if you're sitting over there and you're watching 471 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 8: America unload all its money, all it's missiles, all its bombs. 472 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: It's told Navy. If you're watching America do all the 473 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: work in Iran. You don't have the money, you don't 474 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: have much of a military. You don't want to get involved. 475 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: You just want to keep important foreigners and destroying your 476 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: European country, and you don't want to get involved. So 477 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: you say, we're not sending anybody. What's the punishment, Because 478 00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: if there's not any punishment, then maybe NATO's doing it smart. Hey, 479 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: best the luck go over there, and let's get to 480 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: these running emails, Jesse. Disagree with operations in Iran all 481 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: you want. It doesn't really bother me one way or 482 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: the other. If people like or don't like what's going 483 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: on to me, Trump still gets the benefit of the 484 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: doubt a little longer. But I completely understand why people 485 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: feel the opposite of that. What I can't stand, however, 486 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: is everyone saying Israel controls our foreign policy. This is 487 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: honestly embarrassing. Why have so many on the right who 488 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: didn't fall for the COVID COVID propaganda so objectively fallen 489 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: for this nonsense propaganda. Well, here's the truth. The truth 490 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: is that we've discussed this before again probably offensive don't care. 491 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: Israel the foundation of the modern state of Israel was 492 00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: a year's long project that involved all kinds of different things, 493 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: getting people to move into there. There were weapons that 494 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: were moved in. There was fighting on the streets but 495 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: beyond the streets of Israel to reconquer that place. And 496 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: that's what they did. Let's stop with this nonsense. They 497 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: reconquered the area. On top of that, part of the 498 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: effort to found the modern state of Israel involved lobbying 499 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: foreign governments for support, many of them the British government, 500 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: the American government. Those were I would probably argue the 501 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: two main ones, but it involved Jewish Americans, Jewish Brits, Zionists, 502 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: if you will, getting involved in the government and lobbying 503 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: hard to have big boy have a benefactor. Essentially, have 504 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: a benefactor country back your play. That way, you're not 505 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: stuck there with all these other hostile countries still around you. 506 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: You're trying to establish the mono in state of Israel. 507 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: What you wanted, and there was an international organized effort 508 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: for this. What you wanted was the United States of 509 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: America's government or the British government preferably both to say, hey, 510 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: this is now the modern state of Israel, and us 511 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: here in America we stand behind it because of all 512 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: the benefit that comes from that military benefit, financial benefit, 513 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,959 Speaker 1: and there was a hardcore lobbying effort to essentially become 514 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: Israel's benefactor. That it is a fact for the modern 515 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: state of Israel that has not changed for a country 516 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: of its size, there is an outsized lobbying effort. And 517 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: by the way, all countries do this, so don't think 518 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: it's just Israel. A lobbying effort inside of the government 519 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: to lobby for better things for Israel. That is a fact. 520 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: It goes on. Katar spends a boatload of money, Turkey 521 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: spends a boatload of money. And you know that all 522 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: kinds of foreign governments are in our government's ear lobbying 523 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: hard for more America backing. Everybody wants America to stand 524 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: behind them and say, hey, this guy's with us. You 525 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: can't mess with them. So in a war like Iran, 526 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 1: which is a difficult sell because to sell it, you're 527 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: selling nuclear weapons. They were about to attack, they were 528 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: about to have nuclear weapons. Well, you can't confirm that 529 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: with your eyes and ears, and neither can I. It 530 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: involves taking Trump's word for it. So if that's the 531 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: cell to Americans, that part is hard. It's hard to 532 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: convince people of especially if you're not predisposed towards Israel, 533 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: if you dislike or distrust it, distrust Israel, or you 534 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: think they have too much influence on the government. And 535 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: then you say where they were about to get nukes, Well, 536 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: I can't see that classified intelligence, and now that can you. 537 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: But you know what I can see, Well, it sure 538 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: looks like it benefits Israel more than it benefits us. 539 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: And then Trump, again speaking off the cough, says this, 540 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: if you could make the. 541 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 7: Case that maybe we shouldn't even be there at all 542 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 7: because we don't need it. We have a lot of 543 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 7: oil with the number one producer anywhere in the world. 544 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 7: Times too, my double at least double. Now I think 545 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 7: it's much higher than that. But we do it. It's 546 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 7: almost like we do it for having but we also 547 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 7: do it for some very good allies that we have. 548 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: In the Middle East kind of lands with a thud, 549 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: all right, somebody's mad at Trump. We'll get some more 550 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: emails other stuff. 551 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 7: Hang on
