As 11 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: I've said many times before, I care about America. I 12 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: care about Americans. I have never on this show obsessed 13 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: over foreign policy, foreign things, and that's not about to 14 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: change tonight. Yes, I got all the thousand emails you 15 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: sent me, the ten thousand text messages from friends and 16 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: family asking for my thoughts on Iran, what we're doing, 17 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: where we're going tonight. That is going to dominate the conversation. 18 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: I am going to lay out everything for you. But 19 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: if you are waiting with baited breath every day for 20 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: me to update you on this strike and debt to 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: this casualty, that you are going to be sadly disappointed. 22 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: This is not going to be the Iran show ever Tonight. Yes, 23 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: after tonight, we'll hit the high points. It's not that 24 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm never going to drop it or never gonna bring 25 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: it up again. We're going to hit the high points. 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: I got all your emails. I have endless thoughts on 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: it all. I'll get to those in a moment. We 28 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: are going to do still as we always do on 29 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: a Monday Medal of Honor Monday that's coming up one 30 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: hour from now. I will get to some emails. We'll 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: discuss everything from Lynn Takaham to other things. But now 32 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: let me start off all this Iran talk by saying this, 33 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: and it has served me very very very well. I 34 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: think it would serve you well. Just a suggestion you 35 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: live your life the way you want, say what you want, 36 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: do what you want. I'm just telling you what helps me. 37 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Of course, after we sign off on Friday, the war 38 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: kicks off, bombing Iran. I think it had, Chris, I 39 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't keep in track. I think it was about five 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: minutes after we got off the air everything the bomb 41 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: started dropping. Okay, we're joint huge joint operation US and 42 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: Israel are clearly the main drivers of this whole thing. UAE, 43 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, these other country are getting involved. We're going 44 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: to get to all the whys. Believe me, it's going 45 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: to take a long long time to get through all this. 46 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Now I have I had mine here, Musk, that would 47 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: be Elon. Musk points to the highest ever usage for 48 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: x Amid strikes on Iraan. That would be formerly Twitter. 49 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: Social media is what it is. You don't need to 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: have it, don't worry about it. Highest ever, here's what 51 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: has served me very very well. Times of war are 52 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: times of lies. You realize that I actually dug quite 53 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: a bit to try to figure out who actually was 54 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the originator of this quote, the quote being and there 55 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: are various versions of this. In war, the first casualty 56 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: is the truth. And I think I found fifteen different 57 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: people who supposedly came up with it originally. If it 58 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: was you and your listening, I'm sorry, but I can't 59 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: credit anyone for it. It wasn't mine, But it is true. 60 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: In war, the first casualty is the truth. And do 61 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: you want to know one of the reasons I couldn't 62 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: find the actual author of that little proverb because I 63 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: found quotes saying essentially that dating back two thousand years. 64 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: Don't think it's just the modern area, a modern era 65 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: where it's all lies in war for a couple different reasons, 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: which we're about to lay out. In war, everyone lies, 67 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: everybody your side lies, the enemy lies, and different factions 68 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: of each side lie for different reasons. Sometimes you tell 69 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: lies because you want to create an illusion for the enemy, 70 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: misdirection for the enemy. Hey, we're not going in until 71 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: maybe a week from now, and then you bomb them 72 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: that night. That's a lie. But it's an obvious lie 73 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: why you would do it. So sometimes you lie for 74 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: that reason. Sometimes you lie just for naked propaganda reasons. 75 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: We killed ten thousand of them and we didn't lose 76 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: a man, Probably not true. One of the things that 77 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: will frustrate you if you dig into historical battles in 78 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: war are the amazingly different casualty numbers from every battle 79 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: depending on which source you read. The Romans took on 80 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Carthage in this battle, and the Romans lost ten thousand men. 81 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: Then you read another thing about the same battle the 82 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Romans lost one hundred and fifty thousand men, and you're like, wait, 83 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: I thought you said ten thousand. I don't guess everyone's lying. 84 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: Everybody is lying at all times. Okay, Now knowing that, 85 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: here's what has served me very well for the past 86 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: forty eight seventy two hours, and it will serve me 87 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: well for every huge story going forward, especially war stories. 88 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Just calm down, watch, listen, wait, and pray. I have 89 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: a guy. He works with me, wonderful guy. By the way, 90 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: this is in no way an insult to him. He 91 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: works with me. It's no, it's this, It's not Chris, 92 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: all right, but he works for me, and he's always 93 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, promote me, promote the show, promote this. 94 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: And then that's fine. You have to have that. That's good. 95 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: Obviously you want your media career to be as big 96 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: as you can get whatever. And I think it was 97 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: ten minutes after the first draw bomb dropped, I get 98 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: a text message from him, Hey, it would be great 99 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: if and I forget whether it was because I half 100 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: read it, it'd be great if you could go live 101 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: on Instagram and talk about your thoughts on that. And 102 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: I said, no, no, I want to watch and listen 103 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: and wait and pray. I want to sift through the 104 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: videos and pictures and stories and casualty figures, and I 105 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: want to wait and calm down and sift through the 106 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: endless quantity of information that is coming in, and it's 107 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: coming in rapidly. That's why people are on social media 108 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: in record numbers right now. Maybe you've done it, and 109 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: I'm not insulting you, because I did plenty of it 110 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: this weekend. Maybe you've spent the last seventy two hours 111 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: on your phone. Oh my gosh, did you see this video? 112 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: We have aeric strike diingson. Did you see the picture 113 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: that death repet whoa calm down? Half that video was 114 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: from twenty years ago in another part of the world. 115 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: The other half is a The other half is enemy propaganda. 116 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: The other half is your own side's propaganda. Calm down. 117 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: If you have said to a friend in the last 118 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: forty eight to seventy two hours, you should see what 119 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: I saw on Facebook. That should probably be a heads 120 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: up for you that you need to calm down. We 121 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: are in the beginning, the very beginning of something that 122 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: is going to take a while. How long, I don't know. 123 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: We're hearing things like this from Troy. 124 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: We have the strongest and most powerful by far military 125 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: in the world, and we will easily prevail. We're already 126 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 2: substantially ahead of our time projections. But whatever the time is, 127 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 2: it's okay. Whatever it takes, we will always and we 128 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: have right from the beginning. We projected four to five weeks, 129 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: but we have capability to go far longer than that. 130 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: Okay, hey, we're going to go four or five weeks. 131 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: Trump has come out and he said no, no, we'll 132 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: probably do it sooner, but I mean we might be longer. Okay. 133 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: You wouldn't expect the American president to say anything else. 134 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: What's it gonna say, Hey, we're going to run out 135 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: of missiles in two weeks. You can't come out say that. 136 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: Pete hagg Seth came out and said something that we're 137 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: about to discuss. Believe me, this is going to be 138 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: a very long discussion tonight. I'm sorry. I normally try 139 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: to do radio in fifteen minute increments, but sometimes on 140 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: History Nights and whatnot, it's just one long story. So 141 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: it's one long story tonight and strap in Pete hegg 142 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: Seth came out and said this. And there's a reason 143 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: he said this. Well here it. 144 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: Is to the media outlets and political left screaming endless wars. 145 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: This is not a rack. This is not endless. 146 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: I was there for both. 147 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: Our generation knows better, and so does this president. He 148 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: called the last twenty years of nation building wars dumb, 149 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: and he's right. This is the opposite. This operation is 150 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 3: a clear, devastating, decisive mission, destroy the missile threat, destroy 151 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: the navy, no nukes. Israel has clear missions as well, 152 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 3: for which we are grateful, capable partners. As we've said 153 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: since the beginning, capable partners are good partners, unlike so 154 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: many of our truth. 155 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Okay, we got it. This is not an endless war. 156 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: Destroy the missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. That's 157 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: what they said. All right, we are going to hear 158 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: from Trump himself. We have all kinds of different sound, 159 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: different things. We're going to talk about the greatness of it, 160 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: the terrible thing of it. If I offend you at 161 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: some point in time in this show, you're welcome to 162 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: pour out your venom on me.

It is the Jesse Kelly Show. We are 186 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: kind of handcuffed tonight in a way that I mean, 187 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: in a way that very few people have been handcuffed. 188 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: We have to talk about around all my long. I 189 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: guess if you're a free citizen or free woman who 190 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: took off your huge job, you've been handcuffed like this. 191 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: But the rest of us have rarely been handcuffed like this. 192 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: You know, I don't like doing foreign policy shows, but 193 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: I know you want to hear my thoughts on it. 194 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: So why did we strike? Well, let's listen to the 195 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: people in our administration and what they say. Remember, as 196 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: I said in the beginning, everyone is going to lie 197 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: at all times. Your friends are your enemies. Are you 198 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: accept that? You know that? At least you should. That's 199 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: the way wars are. Donald Trump, why did we strike? 200 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 4: An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear 201 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 4: weapons would be a dire threat to every American. We 202 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess 203 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: such weapons, would allow them to extort the world to 204 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 4: their evil. 205 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: Will not going to let it happen. 206 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,599 Speaker 4: We're not happening to us, and we're not going to 207 00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: let it happen to others. 208 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: Okay, now let's talk about that. Pete. Heexth came out. 209 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: I've played it for you earlier, said hey, that we 210 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: can't let them have missiles, we can't let them have nukes, 211 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: and this isn't going to be an endless war. Pause 212 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: on that for a moment. I've used this analogy before. 213 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: I'll use it again. Here's something that Trump administration is 214 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: going to run into. They're going to run into the 215 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: fact that the American people are extremely jaded on a 216 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: couple different things. Trump came out already and he said, 217 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't care that the poll numbers look bad for this. 218 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: I have to do what's right, all right, I got it. 219 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: Why are the poll numbers bad for this? What's the problem? Well, 220 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: in Vietnam is really where this kicked off a lot 221 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: of people. And I think I believe this by now, 222 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: A lot of people believe the Vietnam War was actually 223 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: the turning point for the United States of America because 224 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: it completely severed the trust between the American people in 225 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: their government. We got involved, we stayed involved, and no 226 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: one was really crystal clear on what the objective was. 227 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: You kept hearing things like stop communism, but that wasn't 228 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: defined very well. Okay, I don't so that was kind 229 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: of a turning point on it. And then you fast 230 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: forward to global war on terror days and you know, 231 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: we have to Saddam Hussein weapons of mass destruction. Remember 232 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: that was one of the maje sales, weapons of mass destruction. 233 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: He can't have it. We have to do it now Iran. 234 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: Maybe Iran was about to have a nuclear weapon, maybe 235 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: they were on the path to having a nuclear weapon. 236 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Maybe they were not. I don't know, and don't send 237 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: me your emails. You don't know either. We're always banking 238 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: on the word of this group or that group or 239 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: this intelligence organization. We don't know you or not. Neither 240 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: of us know. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. But 241 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: if I'd become a raging alcoholic and I start showing 242 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: up later and later from work every night because I 243 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: stop at the bar and get plastered on the way home, 244 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: and then I tell my wife that I'm sorry and 245 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to clean up my life and I'm not 246 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: going to drink anymore. And then I come home a 247 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: half hour late one night and I tell her, well, 248 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: the boss just kept me late, Ah, I had a 249 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: flat tire. She's probably going to give me a bit 250 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: of a side eye because of my history, which is 251 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: not good, the history I have of showing up late, 252 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: and the excuse is the lies I used to tell. Now, 253 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: maybe I did get a flat tire, maybe the boss 254 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: did keep me late in the office, but it doesn't 255 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: land the same way after previous lies. The United States government, 256 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: no matter who's been running it, Republican Democrats for a 257 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: long time, have told us that we have to go 258 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: in here, we have to do this, we have to 259 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: do that because they have weapons of mass destruction or 260 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: they're about to. They have nuclear weapons, or they're about to. 261 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: And the end result of that has been Americans locked 262 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: in a very very long conflict with an ill defined end. 263 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm not blaming that Donald Trump for that. He's never 264 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: done that, but he did walk into a situation where 265 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: the American people are already used to that. We've been 266 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: sold that a thousand times, and maybe right now it's real. 267 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: Maybe Iran was building an ICBM aimed at New York 268 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: City and it was going to launch tomorrow. That's a 269 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: tough sound now, because I've heard that lie before. Don't 270 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: tell me you had a flat tire. I think you 271 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: stopped at the bar, because your history is you stopped 272 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: at the bar. Maybe you did have a flat tire. 273 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't. I don't know if I'm buying that. 274 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: We'll continue. Hey, Jesse Kelly returns next. 275 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 5: It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a Monday. Remember 276 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: you can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 277 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: Do remember, before we continue to say a prayer for 278 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: our troops, we have already lost some families. Maybe as 279 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: we speak, are already getting that knock at the door 280 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: that every parent, wife, husband, child dreads. Pray for those families. 281 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: Pray for every single American service member in harm's way 282 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: right now. Pray for those of us who are here 283 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: in the continental United States of America as we already 284 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: it looks like we already suffered a terrorist attack because 285 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: of this. In Austin, Texas, some jihadi wearing a property 286 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: of Allah walked in to a very popular well to 287 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: do bar in Austin, Texas and gunned down three people. 288 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Americans are dying here, Americans are dying in foreign lands already. 289 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: We need prayer right now. Pray for everybody's safety. By 290 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: the way, keep your eyes open no matter where you are, 291 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: so prayer. Now back to what we were discussing. Jewish 292 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: producer Chris brought up during the break that the poll numbers, 293 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: because I mentioned the pool numbers, the poll numbers show 294 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: the American people don't like or they like the strike. 295 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: They don't like the idea of the war. Ah, we 296 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: bomb them. Good. Wait, we're still there. And that brings 297 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: me to this point. I mentioned what Pete hag Seth 298 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: earlier said about endless war. 299 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 3: The media outlets and political left screaming endless wars. 300 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: Stop. 301 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 3: This is not a rack, This is not endless. 302 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I was there for both. 303 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 3: Our generation knows better, and so does this president. He 304 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: called the last twenty years of nation building wars dumb, 305 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 3: and he's right. 306 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: Here's the truth, and it's a truth I know the 307 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: Trump administration knows. It is a truth that many many 308 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: ruling regimes throughout history either didn't know or they ignored 309 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: to their peril. There is something that is pretty much 310 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: universal about war throughout history. The people of any nation, 311 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: when that regime takes that nation to war, the people 312 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: of the nation will have a finite amount of tolerance 313 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: for the war. Now that would of course beg the 314 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: question how much tolerance. That completely depends on a variety 315 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: of things, what kind of things. First of all, the 316 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: conditions at home. What are the conditions at home? If 317 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: people are generally happy, healthy, well fed, paying job, kids 318 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: are safe. If that is a situation at home and 319 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: people feel like that's the situation at home, that will 320 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: give the regime that went to war much more rope 321 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,479 Speaker 1: if you will, and no, no, no, no, no, take all the 322 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: time you need if the people are happy at home. 323 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: That's one part of it. Another part of it is, 324 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: and I mentioned this last week, another part of it 325 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: is the motivation for getting in it. That's a big 326 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: part of it. What's a good example of this. Americans 327 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: generally know, maybe you don't, but they generally know what 328 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: happened after the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor in World War Two. 329 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: It's one of those really cool look backs in history. 330 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: What happened the Japanese sucker punched us in World War two? 331 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: They bombed us in Pearl Harbor without declaring war first 332 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: and now you can see pictures on the internet wonderful 333 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: to look at. After that, at the military recruiting stations. 334 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: There were lines blocks long of young men saying no, no, no, 335 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm signing up men. Now, this is a sad, terrible part, 336 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: but it's true. Men who maybe didn't qualify for military 337 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: service medically or otherwise. Some of them committed suicide in 338 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: World War II out of the shame of not being 339 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: able to serve. That is a unique level of motivation 340 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: for a nation. You bombed us, screw you. I'll wait 341 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: in line all day, several blocks. I just want to 342 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: kill some Japs. That was the motivation. You had a country, 343 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: all of it, men, women, north, south, east, west, completely motivated. 344 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: You sucker punched us. Let's roll. But even then didn't 345 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: last forever. Do you know? One of the main concerns 346 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: of the regime, the presidential administration during World War II. 347 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: After a few years of death and carnage and misery, 348 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: when we were leading up to Ewojima, the marine invasion 349 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: of Ewogima, they were starting to look at the poll 350 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: numbers Americans. After we bomb Pearl Harbor, I forget the numbers. 351 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: It's something like ninety seven percent wanted to go to war. 352 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: That's basically an entire country. Those poll numbers of Americans 353 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: supporting the war by the time we got to Ewojima 354 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: were ticking down and down and down and down, as 355 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: fathers come home and body bags, and sons come home 356 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: and body bags. And there are enough bad stories about 357 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: dead soldiers here, dead sailors there, dead marines here. Soon 358 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: at your cousin who died, your brother who died, your 359 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: best friend's mom died, over and over and over again. 360 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: These stories, over time, slowly but surely chip away at 361 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: the population's motivation for war. So by the time we 362 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: walked out of Ewojima with over six thousand dead marines, 363 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: the administration thought about just lying about the whole thing. 364 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: That's how bad it was. They said, oh my gosh, 365 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: the public is going to completely turn against us. And 366 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the public was really outraged by that kind of loss 367 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: of life. Even after Pearl Harbor recruiting lines around the 368 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: block a few years later of body bags, it was 369 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: understood that this war is losing popularity very very quickly. 370 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: Now let's talk about I wrong. How long is it 371 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: going to go on? Trump said, we. 372 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: Have the strongest and most powerful by far military in 373 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: the world, and we will easily prevail. We're already substantially 374 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 2: ahead of our time projections. But whatever the time is, 375 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 2: it's okay. Whatever it takes, we will always and we 376 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 2: have right from the beginning. We projected four to five weeks. 377 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Pete, heexsas says, it won't be endless, all right? 378 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: Do the American people with we just hit another record 379 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: this morning, record high credit card debt? Do the American 380 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: people have the stomach for four or five weeks of 381 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: war with Iran? You're gonna have to sell that to them? 382 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: Is this enough to sell it to them? 383 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 4: An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear 384 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 4: weapons would be a dire threat to every American We 385 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 4: cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess 386 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 4: such weapons, would allow them to extort the world to 387 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 4: their evil. 388 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: Will not gonna let it happen. 389 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 4: We're not happening to us, and we're not gonna let 390 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 4: it happen to others. 391 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that question, uestion. I 392 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: just asked you, by the way, do the American people 393 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: have the stomach for four weeks of that? I don't know. 394 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: But what I do know is the tolerance of the 395 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: American public for this is going to be finite, the 396 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: first twenty four forty eight hours. It's always going to 397 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: be the best for the regime that went to war. 398 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: You remember Venezuela. Why did we love it so much? 399 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: We sent Delta Force into a place we didn't like 400 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: and snatched up a guy we didn't like and we 401 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: didn't lose a man, and we never had to stress 402 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: about anything. We just woke up one morning and we'd 403 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: had this amazing military victory and it was all us 404 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: say us say, everyone else sucks. And it felt great 405 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: because we were in. We were out, nice and clean, 406 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: no must, no fuss. We did it. But that's different 407 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: than what this is. This might not be four or 408 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: five weeks. There are so many aspects to this. What 409 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: we're doing, why we're doing it. I'm not criticizing the 410 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: motivations for it, by the way, maybe they're all great, 411 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: maybe they're garbage. We're going to discuss all this, the 412 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: different factions behind it, who are pushing it, the different 413 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: factions pushing against it. Again, not on nefarious. A lot 414 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: of people, maybe you fall into one of those factions. 415 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people extremely genuine in their motivations. And 416 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna look, we're gonna hash all this out best 417 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: we can. Well, you're still going to do Metal of 418 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Honor Monday, ten minutes so now and then we'll come 419 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: back to it. All right, let's hash this out. You're 420 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: online data. Here's a headline for you. PayPal notifies customers 421 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: of breach that may have exposed social security numbers. I 422 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: read you headline after headline after headline after headline like this. 423 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: Why why are they always after your information? Why? Because 424 00:27:55,119 --> 00:28:00,040 Speaker 1: they're going to steal from you. Your information is online, 425 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: your phone number, your name, your address, your social Security number. 426 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: And maybe you think, well, I just I bought something 427 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: from PayPal. It's secure. These criminals thrive on hacking into 428 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: secure companies because if they get your information, they're going 429 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: to financially destroy you. How would you know if they're 430 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: taking it, they might be taking a loan out in 431 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: your name right now? How would you know? If you 432 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: don't have LifeLock, you would have no idea. And if 433 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: they end up getting you, how are you going to 434 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: get made whole again?

We'll touch on it, but 449 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: this is just not what I do. I care about 450 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: America Americans. I want you to get fifty million foreigners 451 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: out of my life, and I want American credit card 452 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: debt to go down, and I want you to be 453 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: able to afford to buy a stake at the grocery store. Again, 454 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: these are my motivations, but let's discuss the reality. And 455 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: if what I'm about to say is about to make 456 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: you happy, don't worry. I'm gonna make you very, very angry. 457 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: And vice versa. What I'm about to do is I'm 458 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: gonna lay out some justifications, some honest justifications to want 459 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: to remove the Iranian regime, and some real positives potentially 460 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: of that going forward. I said, if that makes you 461 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: stand up and cheer, pause on that, because I'm going 462 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: to talk about the drawbacks too. That might have to 463 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: wait till next hour. The drawbacks, but potential drawbacks. I'll 464 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: get to that before we do anything else. Let's do 465 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: remember this, though, no matter what your stances for against whatever, 466 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: don't care. We don't root against the troops. The troops 467 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: right now are wonderful patriots, and they are in harms 468 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: what they are already dying. 469 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 4: US military service members have been killed in action. As 470 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 4: one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who 471 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 4: have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as 472 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 4: we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. 473 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 4: We pray for the full recovery of the wounded, and 474 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 4: send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families 475 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 4: of the fallen, and sadly there will likely be more 476 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 4: before it. 477 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: Pray we don't root against the troops. You can hate 478 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: every bit of this conflict or love it. We root 479 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: for our troops, we root for them all to come 480 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: home safe, and we pray for them all. Right now, 481 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: before we do the negatives, let's do the justification, potential 482 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: justification for this. I'm not going to do the nuclear 483 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: weapon thing. I'm not because I'm insanely distrustful of it. 484 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: I'll just be honest with you. I am. I'm distrustful 485 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: because I've heard that Iran is about to get a 486 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon for I think twenty years. Twenty years, Chris, 487 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: is that about right? Twenty years. I've heard that they're 488 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,479 Speaker 1: on the verge of a nuclear weapon. So I'm going 489 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: to set that aside. Again, maybe they were, maybe they weren't. 490 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: I just don't buy it. Set that aside right now. 491 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: Iranians have been carrying out acts of terror for a 492 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: very long time. Do you remember when we were in Iraq? 493 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: Do you remember? Because I actually wasn't there for this part. 494 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: People think the part of Iraq I was therefore was 495 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: the worst part, and it was not. I missed the 496 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: worst part. I was there as a young infantry marine. 497 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: I was there for the invasion where when George Bush 498 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: declared war, I was parked in Kuwait with my marine unit, 499 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: and we went across the border and fought our way 500 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: through the country and all that. That's when I was there. 501 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: But when a lot of people think of Iraq, they 502 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: think about all the IED's that were going off these 503 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: roadside bombs. You'd have Americans being killed, Americans being maimed. 504 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you know one, maybe you are one to this day, 505 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: missing limbs, maybe your brain got rocked really good. Maybe 506 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: when all that was happening in Iran, you know who 507 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: was providing so much of the training for that or 508 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: any rock That's when there was happening in Iraq. Sorry 509 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: misspoke there. You know who was providing so much of 510 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: the training for that Iran. I have hated Iran ever 511 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: since that day because I have been in the VA 512 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: hospitals and I have seen men you would consider to 513 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: be relatively young, missing legs, missing hands, clearly burned, and 514 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that goes back to Iran. Be root 515 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: goes back to Iran. Let's also remember this Iran. They 516 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: did try to assassinate Donald Trump back in twenty twenty four. 517 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: They did. Trump mentioned it. I know he probably doesn't 518 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: want to make this about him, and that's fine. I 519 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: respect that, but for me, that is the best justification 520 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: that the administration doesn't seem to be using very often. 521 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: Iran tried to kill Donald Trump, I would feel the 522 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: exact same way if they tried to kill a politician 523 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: I hated, by the way, you have to die if 524 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: you try to kill one of our politicians. If Iran 525 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: tried to kill Eric Swalwell, I think we should go 526 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: kill them for it. If they tried to kill Joe Biden, 527 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: we should go kill them for it. If they try 528 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: to you pick the American politician you hate the most. 529 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: As a foreign government, you do not get to send 530 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: agents into this country to try to assassinate our people, 531 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: any of them. That should be an automatic death sentence. 532 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 1: Iran tried to kill Donald Trump. The word is they 533 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: tried to kill him twice. We pretty much know they 534 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: tried to kill him once. You can't let that stand. 535 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: That cannot be allowed to stand on the world stage. 536 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: So those are some potential justifications for what we did 537 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: in Iran. Another one, and this one again, this gets convoluted, 538 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: It gets complicated, complicated, complicated. But here's another one. China. 539 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: China gets oil from Venezuela, not so much anymore. Now 540 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: I take that back. We are still selling them Venezuelan oil, 541 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: but we can cut it off. Clearly, at any time 542 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: China gets oil from Iran A not so much anymore, 543 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna sell it to them, but can cut them off 544 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: at any time. China has a gigantic and increasing every 545 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: day war machine. They are building up their military. You 546 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: only build up a military like that with the intention 547 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: of using it, Otherwise you don't want to incur the 548 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: cost of maintaining a military of that size. They are 549 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: building up a gigantic military with the intention of using it. 550 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: So much of everyone's military stalls and stops without oil. 551 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: By taking Venezuela, essentially taking Venezuela, you know what I 552 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: mean by controlling Venezuelan oil. By potentially taking control of 553 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 1: Iranian oil, you have cut off your number one geo 554 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: political foe from the energy they need to fund the 555 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: war machine. You want to lay out some reasons that 556 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: justifications there they are. Maybe that made you feel good, 557 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna make you feel bad. What are some dangers, 558 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: what are some drawbacks. We'll discuss that next hour, but 559 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: before we get to that, we're gonna pause and honor 560 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: a Hero Medal of Honor Monday doesn't stop. Meddal of 561 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: Honor Monday next
