Has Trump Disappointed You?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, let's go right back to Kathy
in New Hampshire. She is a Trump supporter. She voted
for Trump, but she says she did not vote for this.
She didn't vote for war. She didn't vote for the
an escalation in war. Please Kathy pick up where we

(00:21):
left off.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hey, thank you. Jeff My thoughts. You can't negotiate with
the regime whose only purpose they live to dominate the world.
You can't let Netanyazu take this this regime down and
have our chances with the next regime to maybe negotiate,

(00:45):
to maybe draw peace lines, to let our inspectors go
into the country. You can't negotiate with this group and
to get us involved in a wa. We all know
how these these Middle East and walls go. They don't
last a week, They go on and on. We have
no skin in the game here, so to speak. As

(01:05):
far as I'm concerned, let netanyw who do what he
wants to do, he wants to take up this regime,
let him, let us take our chances with the next one.
Maybe negotiations would be on the table. This regime will
not negotiate, they have to help. Bent on wiping out
the world, dominating everything. This is not what people voted for.

(01:29):
We were hoping the Ukraine Russia would stop and not
to escalate and get into another involvement. It's not what
we want. It's not what we voted for. Sorry for landing,
but that's how I feel.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Kathy, are you if you don't mind me asking, are
you disappointed? I'm just curious? Are you disappointed in say
Trump's first what is it now? Six months in office?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Disappointed because I voted to him because of peace and
the border he came across for the border. I don't
know what goes through his mind or what his entourage
is talking to him about. I just know how as
a mother and a grandmother, I don't want to see
this country get involved in a war that will end

(02:17):
It won't end well. It just won't end well. Let
he has to prove himself as the president of peace.
He land on that. He lan on one of his
campaign promises, bring peace. This is not. This is far
from bringing peace. I don't know what Israel, what we
get from Israel. I'm not too up on you know.

(02:39):
I know they're an ally, but what exactly do we
get from them? Why is it always the United States
jumping in to rescue and put our kids and lives
in country on the line for what? Let Netanyahu take
the Iicola out, Let them take the whole regime out,

(03:02):
and then see what we go from there. That's how
I feel. I don't know, I could be wrong on this,
but that's how I feel.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Kathy, thank you very much for that call. I really
appreciate it. You're speaking for many.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I know that.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I don't know if it's a majority, but certainly many people,
many Cooner country listeners. I get a lot of emails
and they very similar sentiments to yours. So thank you, Kathy.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Is the number.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, let me ask you. Do you agree or disagree
with Kathy? She says, Ultimately, this is not our fight.
Let BB do it, Let Israel do it. Trump ran
on peace. This would be a violation of one of
his central campaign pledges. It would be in some ways
a betrayal of his voters. And we've got other fish

(03:51):
to fry. We've got to, you know, deal with the
border invasion, mass deportations. We've got to bring down inflation.
We've got to pass the big beautiful bill. There are
many many things that Trump needs to focus on here
at home. That should be our number one priority. Let Israel,

(04:12):
let b Be deal with the Ayatola and the Mullus,
and we should focus more here at home. Agree, disagree?
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
Tim in South Carolina, Thanks for holding Tim, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Hi Jeff. You have the number one show on the radio.
I always enjoy listening to you, and thank you for
everything you do. I just wanted to bring up another
angle here. Yes, go ahead, Tim, I understand. Oh you welcome.
I understand what we're being told. They're being decimated and destroyed.

(04:59):
There are other reports, though, and I'm wondering if this
is in some ways a wag the dog, if you
don't mind. At eight point thirty last night, the esteemed
General Douglas McGregor, he put out a tweet and if
it's okay, I'd like to read it to your listeners.

(05:21):
Go ahead, he writes, don't be fooled. Okay, he writes,
don't be fooled. Israel is in worse shape than people think.
About one third of Tel Aviv has been damaged or
destroyed as far as their military installations are concerned. I'm

(05:42):
told many Israeli aircraft are being flown to Cyprus to
avoid being struck. Israel was not prepared for Iran's response,
so I guess not to soundrie competitive. Is it wag

(06:03):
the dog here?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well, push it.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I'm just sure it's just take it to the end here.
You mean wag the dog in the sense that it's
this is in other words, this is Israeli propaganda, right.
I think that's what McGregor is claiming that Israel is
not doing as well as they claim, that their military
is getting bloodied as well that they are, that Tel
Aviv is taking more of a beating than they're letting on.

(06:26):
And but this idea of this success and inevitable success,
in other words, is this the koax Trump into saying, well,
Israel's gonna win, so let's side with the winner and
join this war to finish Iran off? Is that what
you're getting at him?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
I No, I'm not sure. I am I for whatever reason,
he's an esteem general. I mean, he obviously is pretty.
And where is this coming from? This distraction? If you
will is this whole WW three a distraction? These are

(07:08):
just questions that I'm asking because as I read, well.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Tim, can you do me a big favor? I'm so
happy you mentioned Colonel Douglas McGregor. Six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay,
We're going to go right back to your calls and
Tim in South Carolina, but first joining us now, as
she always does at this time. She's the co founder,

(07:33):
CEO president of Kelly Financial Services, and yes, that is
her wonderful name, Kelly Kelly Kelly.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
How are you.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Good morning, Jeff? I am good. When you're retired or
getting close, one of the smartest things you can do
clear view of your finances, because the truth is most
people don't realize where their money is actually going each month,
and that uncertainty can create stress. That's why, exactly why

we've created our Safe Money Strategies workbook is a simple,
no nonsense guide to help you take control of your
retirement plan so you can move forward with confidence. You
don't have to guess and you don't have to worry.
When you can see everything clearly, you can make smarter decisions.
And that's again why we created our workbook, and that's

(08:36):
what it's all about. If you'd like your free copy
or to speak with one of our advisors, just give
us a call or email us at Kelly at Kellyfinancial
dot org. Jeff, I'll continue this conversation with our Kelly
Advisors tomorrow morning at nine am on Safe Money Strategies Radio.

(08:57):
radio rewind Jeff, Why wonderful weekend, My best Grace and
the kiddos.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Thank you, Kelly, have a wonderful weekend.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Please stay cool because we're gonna we're getting hit with
a heatwave. And my best at everybody at Kelly Financial again,
my friends. For a free copy of the guide eight

(09:28):
directly Kelly at Kellyfinancial dot org. Kelly at Kelly Financial
dot org. Okay, let's go right back to Tim in
South Carolina. Tim, you were saying you're a fan of
Colonel Douglas McGregor. You are a fan, but you read
him and you take him seriously, and he's a patriot,

(09:48):
there's no question, and that he is saying there's a
lot of misinformation that this is a potential wag the
dog scenario, that Israel is not doing as well as it,
that their warplanes are being clipped, they're being damaged, they
have to be sent to Cyprus to be fixed. That
Tel Aviv, as you said, according to McGregor, one third

(10:12):
of it is now in ruin rubble or has been
hit or directly impacted by missile strikes. So Iran is
doing better and putting up much more of a fight
than the Israeli government is letting on.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Did I sum up your position accurately.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Tim, Yes, you did.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Jeff.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I think there are two points to this phone call.
One is, what is the history of our mainstream media,
especially in these last what nine years, I always think
opposite everything they tell us, we find out later that
it really wasn't what they reported, It really wasn't what

(10:55):
they're telling us. With that said, I'll bring up my
second point. We really know what's going on over there.
I understand the mainstream media reporting. I know what we're
being told. There are a lot of conversations on the
X the Twitter. It seems to be that seems to
be the main part of the discussion on all of this,

(11:20):
and I'm reading a lot of different things. There are
reports that the citizens of Israel have been told that
they're not allowed to film, say with their cell phones,
any of the bombing or anything because they don't want
to let out the fact that they're taking hits. I
have no idea, Jeff, I have no idea personally what's

(11:42):
going on there. I'm just I'm throwing this stuff out there.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
That's well, Tim, Look, I can just say this, okay.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I had Colonel McGregor on multiple times in the past,
and initially he was always very happy to come on.
In about the last year to eighteen months, he doesn't
come on anymore. I've made multiple offers. He just doesn't
want to come on. I've noticed a change in Colonel McGregor.

(12:12):
Number one. I'm just stating. I'm just giving you my
honest reaction, like I'm in the confessional.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
He claimed three years.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Ago that Putin was going to win the war in
Ukraine decisively. He went on about how he had all
this extra intelligence and military information and that this war
was going to be over in a couple of months
that Putin and the Russians were going to roll up
with this massive artillery barrage, and that the capital Kiev
would collapse, the Ukrainian army would collapse, and that Putin

(12:42):
would just roll into the capitol and basically take over
most of Ukraine, and that there was no point in
providing any support to the Ukrainian government. That claim of
his turned out to be completely false.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
He was wrong.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Now it's okay, people are wrong, but I'm just saying
he has a track record of being wrong. Sometimes he's right,
sometimes he's wrong. I have friends in tel Aviv. I
know people in tel Aviv. We go back many decades.
Many of them used to work with me at the
Washington Times, and now they live in tel Aviv, either

(13:16):
as reporters, as stringers, or they've retired. I've asked them
what the situation is. They have not told me. A
third of tel Aviv has been hit or is in rubble,
or has been damaged. They're basically saying, yeah, I mean,
you know, the hospital was hit. Some missiles have gotten through.

(13:38):
They're targeting civilian areas, but for the most part, much
of tel Aviv, the overwhelming majority of it, like ninety
five percent or whatever is intact. So I do know this.
The Iranian state media is claiming that you can look
it up. It's They even have an English translation of it.

(13:59):
Soh is he getting his information from the Iranians. I
wouldn't trust the Iranians. I get your point about the
mainstream media. I'm with you, Tim, but I wouldn't trust
the mulas either. Now I can just say this, and
I don't know if that's the reason why it doesn't
want to come on my show.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm speculating in about.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
The last year, especially the last six months, he's become
very anti Israel, extremely anti Israel. I would say virulently
anti Israel. For example, he now repeatedly says that this
is McGregor now that Trump is owned by his Jewish donors,

(14:42):
and he mentions Adelson's wife, and he mentions a couple
of others that they got him elected. This is what
he claims, and that basically Jewish money. He's practically said
this Jewish money is running Trump, running the White House
and running the United States, and that he's has now
become bb Net Nyahu's poodle, and that if b says

(15:04):
jump Trump will say how high. So he's now pushing
this conspiracy theory that powerful wealthy Zionist Jewish billionaires have
captured and hijacked the president and that he's doing their bidding.
And he is now convinced that Israel is the root

(15:29):
cause of all the violence in the Middle East. The
Palestinians Israel's fault, Iran Israel's fault, Radical Islam Israel's fault.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
So now I don't know if he doesn't want to
come on because I'm going to challenge him.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I don't know what it is. But he now has
gotten him. He's put himself in the camp of being
a relentless Israel basher and an Israel hater. And do
I think Trump is bought off by Zionist billionaires?

Speaker 3 (16:05):
No? Do I think he's BB Netanya who's poodle? No?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
And I can cite you many examples where he's had
a difference of opinion with BB, where he shut BB down,
where he's opposed BB or, he's you know, he hasn't
done what BB wanted him to do. But I'm just saying, Tim,
that's where McGregor is right now. Brian in east Bridge Water,
thanks for holding Brian and welcome.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Hey, Jeff, thank you. I've got a different outlook on this.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
But how old is the supreme leader of Iran?

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Isn't he in his nineties?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
He's eighty five, eighty five, okay, eighty five.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
He's mentally starting to fade, and he's got serious prostate issues.
I'm not trying to make fun of the guy. No, really,
he's got like real prostate. He's got bad health. His
prostate is in bad shape.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Please keep going, Brian, put this nuclear bomb together and
send it off and blow something up and start a
nuclear war. He'd be going out with a bang, you know, knowing,
and he'd love to do this, and then he could
see his gods in heaven. So I think if he
wants to go out with a bang, let us be

(17:22):
the ones that send him off in a bang and
end the whole nuclear plan.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
If he's gonna go out, were the ones that should
send them out, right, Brian, Brian, I'm just curious, would
you just use American firepower to take out four dough,
that big nuclear in Richmond site that's buried underneath this mountain,
or would you just you know, just drop a bunker

(17:52):
Buster and take out how many and the entire political
leadership in Iran. In other words, do you just want
Trump to do a limited hit or join Israel and
together just finish the job.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
I think once you take out the head of the
snake and the whole uh uh factory, the whole the
whole missile launching site, I think you're gonna find that
everybody else is gonna could just be like applauding. You know,
it'll be like taking out the wicked witch of uh uh.

(18:28):
The know, if you know, everybody else is gonna be happy.
You know, they're gonna all gonna go back to, like
you were saying earlier in the show, how wonderful it
was over there years ago. And I think that's what
they want.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
I mean, if if I was a young Iranian, health
I was an old Iranian, I'd be a personally, I mean,
I'd be begging for the ground prince to come back.
I mean that's you know, I mean to me, it's
you can't compare the two. But Brian, thank you very
much for that call. Six one seven two six six
sixty eight sixty eight. So basically Brian is saying, hey,

(19:04):
you want to die for a law. That's no problem, Ayatola,
Supreme Leader. We can arrange that for you and you'll
get your seventy two virgins in heaven. You know you
want to, really you want to die for a law.
You well, well, first class ticket straight to heaven. Baby

(19:26):
Richard in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Richard, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hi Richard.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
I just want to say that this is all, this
is all happening.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
I called you and you vehemently disagreed with me, and
you're not going to believe what's going to happen next
week because I hope that everyone's ready to have their
young men and women sacrifice themselves on the ground for
the state of Israel.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
That's all so, Richard.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Do you think that Trump is going to order a
strikes on Iran? And he's not just going to order
air strikes. You think he's going to put US boots
on the ground.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Correct, they are already there.

Speaker 7 (20:13):
There's already boots on the ground there. There are Special
Forces people on the ground there already, not many, but
they're definitely there. And the same rhetoric that they're using
to pump people up to be around be the big
boogie Man's the same thing they used in Libya, same
kind of rhetoric, same thing. It's really pretty pretty common

(20:35):
that it's pretty pretty awful because people are going to
die for the State of Israel, and State of Israel
should basically take care of itself.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Richard.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Final, So I just want to make so your prediction
is next week, Trump takes us to war. And I
know you're saying special forces are already there. I haven't
seen those reports, but let's just let that go as
just put that on the side. I just want to
nail down your prediction. Trump takes us to war, and
he will also put us boots. You will order a

(21:08):
deployment of ground troops as well.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
Uh, it's going to get a lot worse. It's going
to get a lot worse by this time next week,
and people are going to be dying that shouldn't be dying.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
It's not what we voted for.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Richard, Thank you very much for that call. Six one
seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Let me
squeeze one more in Alexy. Hey, my fellow paison in Renthem, Alex,
thanks for holding uh and welcome.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Alex. Look at it. Look at that.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Look at a build up I gave this guy. Look
at a build up I gave this guy.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
And he's not listening.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
All right, Frank in Medford, Frank, I hate to do
this to you. We've got one minute. The floor is
all yours.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
Go. Yeah, first time, long time rams out with war
against us in Iraq. Ask all the military people that
have lost their lives and got blown up by IEDs.
And we used to put the red line across the
Samsa saying that we were going to stop them from
doing that. We never gave them anything. We never tried

(22:26):
to stop them from building the I e eds and
killing our troops. And also the commercial waterways we used
to watch over them, and the commercial waterways in the
United States, and the and the proxies are doing everything
they can to affect the commercial waterways for international shipping.

(22:47):
I don't understand how these people feel. Like Chamberlain, the
anti semitstead of on the ray on talking to you
saying there that they'd rather have a dirty bomb blow
up in the United States and rather a little bit
of radiation come out of a hole in the ground
three hundred feet in the ground where they always explode
atomic weapons. I don't understand any of it.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Pig, Well, there's a lot of hatred for Israel. That's
I mean, you know me, I support Israel, and so
does Trump, Thank the Lord. But there's a lot of
hatred for Israel.
