Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Monday. You
have made it through the weekend, and isn't it so
exciting to start the work week. Of course, we have
(00:33):
a great show we planned for you tonight, as we
always do on a Medal of Honor Monday, and that's
coming up an hour from now. We're gonna do a
little historical rewind to start the show, because I know
everyone has Israel Iran on their mind. Where are we going?
What are my feelings? What the regime change? No regime change?
(00:54):
Where's all this stuff going? The Iranian response? All that
and so much more is coming up in at least
the first hour. It's gonna take us a while to
get through all that, but we're gonna give a little
bit of a historical perspective on those on those things,
and then we're going to talk about some domestic issues
that matter a lot. Technology is still run by the
dirty communists. Members of Congress like Nancy Pelosi clearly insider
(01:19):
trading the state of the Democrat Party. One Blue area
is proving why you must move if you can. All
that in so much more coming up tonight on the
world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, I have email after
email after email about Iran. This guy says, I've become
(01:41):
more anti war after nineteen years. What are your thoughts
on this? After a week this guy says, Boy, Jesse,
did you ever nail it? That's because I told everyone
last week that it was coming. We were going to
start dropping bombs. Jesse, your take on Iran being bombed
this weekend was incredible. That's why I listen all the Okay,
so there's a lot, there's a lot on your mind,
(02:03):
and so I'm warning you now that history we're about
to do is heading in that direction. Because regime change
is a term that's being thrown around a lot in
various ways. There are a lot of people out there
saying we're not in the regime change business doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It's in a regime change move. This was designed to
degrade and or destroy three nuclear sites related to their
nuclear weaponization ambitions. I don't like the regime, but we're
not into the regime change business here.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, that's pretty clear from the Secretary of State Pete
HAGGSV came out said.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
This mission has not been about regime change. The president
authorized a precision operation.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, there's been a lot of that talk. Sounds good,
but there's some mixed messaging out there. Of course, Donald
Trump came out social media. This is what he said.
It's not politically correct to use the term regime change,
but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make
Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Okay,
(03:11):
we have several US senators saying this.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
We certainly need to have regime change in Iran. This
is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans time
for regime change.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And I believe that this president should be given a
fair amount of leeway to affect that.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
It's time to close the chapter on the Iran and
Iotolin his henchmen. Let's close that chapter soon and start
a new chapter in the Mideast, one of tolerance to
hope in peace.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right, let's pause everything for a moment, and let's discuss
history in a couple of different ways. Because we're going
to talk about getting into a war while pretending like
you don't want to get into war. We're going to
talk about regime change. We're going to talk about lies,
We're going to approach this whole thing as we have
(03:57):
the entire time, not hysterical, not no war ever, ah,
and not kill them on that God sort them out. Nope, Nope,
not doing that. We're going to approach this soberly, and
we're going to analyze this like adults, you and me. First,
let's go with the regime change aspect of it. Why
(04:18):
is that even a thing? Well, let's do some history.
This would be very very basic. For people who know history,
you will know this. For those who don't, look, history's
not taught very well in most schools. For those who don't,
this might be some new information. Let's rewind. Oh the
way back to the early nineteen hundreds. World War One
(04:40):
is what we're doing here. Germany, France, Britain, Russia, Austria, Hungary.
That that was a country back then. They all get
in a nasty, nasty, hot war known as World War One.
It's bad. Millions of people were dying. The world is horrified.
(05:01):
The world is horrified. Okay, the world had never ever
seen casualty numbers like this. It just it blew people
away that that was even possible. All right, World War
One ends, It ends, and Germany lost Germany lost, and
(05:21):
the people who won the Frances, the Britons, US. We
made a choice, and this choice has been crushed because
hindsight is twenty twenty and because of how it worked
out in the end. But the thinking at the time
was this, we've all lost a lot of lives, we've
(05:42):
all lost a lot of treasure. Here. It was clearly
Germany's fault, which let's pause for a second, and that's debatable,
but anyway, at the time, it's clearly Germany's fault. Germany
was the bad guy. Germany did all this. It's all
the dirty German's fault. So since it what's their fault,
(06:02):
shouldn't they be punished for it? Shouldn't they pay for everything?
Shouldn't they? And so brutal, brutal punishment was brought down
on Germany, from US, from France, from Britain. Brutal punishment,
the kind of punishment first of all the reparations. The
(06:22):
other nations essentially told Germany, hey, sorry, you lost. You
need to pay for everything, our war, your war, everything. Now,
this is a country whose economy is already in shambles.
You just got done fighting a multi year World war.
Economy is already bad, and then we tell them, hey,
you need to pay for everything. This would be the
equivalent of you, you declare bankruptcy because you've lost it all,
(06:47):
you can't pay your bills, and then your mother shows
up and tells you that you owe her two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars because she spent all that time
raising you. You don't have a don't have a penny
at this point in time. So we did that. Oh
but we did something else that may have been as
damaging as the reparations. We said, hmm, by the way,
(07:11):
on top of all this money you're going to need
to pay, we're going to go ahead and take all
your most valuable territory. So that would be the equivalent
of your mother showing up after you declared bankruptcy demanding
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and then work calling
you that day and saying, by the way, you're fired.
(07:31):
We took away the most valuable territory, the most valuable
parts of their economy. It was a brutal chastisement of Germany.
How about that Chris College word chastisement. Anyway, we crushed Germany. Germany,
it's all your fault. We crushed them. And I know
we all look back now and talk about how horrible
that decision was. I get that at the time, it
(07:53):
made sense to people Germany, it's all your fault, you pay. Okay.
Where that lead? Well, you took a large, modern country
and you beat them up, and once you had beaten
them up, you then started kicking dirt in their face
and spitting on them. The people of Germany were crushed,
(08:17):
economically crushed, spiritually crushed, national pride wounded beyond measure, a
down in out people you've seen If you haven't seen,
I would actually encourage you to go look this up.
Pictures online of people in Germany post World War One
Germany walking around with wheelbarrows full of cash? Are these
(08:42):
rich people know? The cash was so worthless? People would
haul it around and start fires with it. You think
you've got inflation problems, which I know you do. I'm
not dismissing those, but they knew about inflation. A people
completely smashed, and then because they were down and out,
(09:02):
this happens when a country is down and out, just
they heads up. Because Germany was down and out, groups
started to fight for power. Different groups there were communist groups. Obviously,
you know about the Nazis. You know who ends up
you you know in hindsight, who ends up winning this
whole thing. But the Nazis weren't the only group in
(09:23):
Germany fighting for power. There were many different groups in
Germany fighting for power, but all of them, virtually all
of them, were selling a similar message. There was a
common thread in all the messaging, and the common thread
was you shouldn't have to live like this. You shouldn't
have to take this. This shouldn't be this way. You pour,
(09:48):
you beaten down wheelbarrels full of cash, because our money's
worth this. There should be something better. And of course,
you know spoiler alert, you know how that ended up.
An insane, hate ful demagogue named Adolf Hitler who gave
(10:09):
an amazing speech. He was infamous for it. He would
started out in the beer halls giving it, and he
got so famous for his speeches people would gather around
just to hear him. He became the voice of this
growing Nazi party, Nazis' takeover Europe. Nazis get us all
into World War two. Just fast forwarding through all these things,
(10:30):
then we end up post World War two. We will
start again there. In just a moment, like I said,
this is a very abridged history, I realized I glossed
over just a couple things. Do you geek out on
history like this? Hillsdale will teach you in depth things
you never knew. And by the way, they will teach
you things you never knew I had. I got this
(10:51):
email about Hillsdale. I love this because this exact same
thing happened to me. This lady said, Jesse, I've been
watching several free courses from Hillsdale College and they're all
very good, but my favorite by far is Understanding Capitalism.
The course was incredible. I think it should be required content.
Even though I studied business in economics in college. There
was so much I didn't know. She said, thanks for
(11:14):
always making me laugh. When you take a free course
from Hillsdale, you will learn things. I don't care how
much you think you know. I'm I'm floored at what
I don't know every time I take one, and they're free,
no cost. More than forty courses online at no cost
(11:35):
Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse, is how you get those?
All right? All right, we'll continue from there, and we're
gonna tie all this stuff in next you're listening to
the Oracle. You love this one. It's a scream baby.
The Jesse Kelly Show blah blah blah blah blah stepped on.
(12:05):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday,
reminding you you can email us, and you should. We'd
love your emails Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We
are talking in a very roundabout way Israel, Iran, where
we're going, where we're at. But first we're addressing the idea,
(12:26):
the concept of regime change. That term is being thrown around.
We're not doing it. We are doing it well, I
think we need it. No, we never do that thing. Okay,
so where did it come from? We talked about post
World War One in the opening of the show. Post
World War One, we decided, well, regime change, that's your
freaking problem. We're just gonna bomb the living daylights out
of you Germany. You lost World War One, give us
(12:47):
all your money, Screw you, it's your problem now. That
led directly to the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.
Then World War Two comes just most horrible, most destructive
event in all of human history, death and carnage like
people had never seen. And by the time that war
(13:09):
was done, they were looking at each other, the leaders
of the world were looking at each other. And with
that kind of death, with that kind of sorrow and sadness,
you start asking questions, could we have avoided this? What
did we do wrong? This was something that should have
never happened. So what did we do wrong? And they
(13:30):
came to the conclusion, a conclusion that is widely accepted today,
that it was that punishment of Germany after World War
One that led to Hitler's rise. Therefore, once you defeat
a nation in war, you should step in and help
(13:52):
them rebuild their country in a different way. Now, of course,
they're going to have to give up some things and
what not, but you're gonna help them form a new government.
Part of it will be their choice, part of it'll
be yours. But help them build a new government, help
them build a new country. It was I mean, it's
(14:13):
an odd thing, but understandable. And this is going to
sound like I'm defending regime change, but I'm explaining how
this idea came to be. Let's simply look at Japan
post World War two. Now we did the same thing
in Europe that that's a little different. But in Japan
post World War Two, remember, we pounded Japan to dust.
Everybody knows about the two atom bombs. The atom bombs
(14:37):
were a fraction of what we did to Japan. We
carpet bombed almost every Japanese major city. We pulverize that country.
They give up, and we as a country did one
of the kindest things I think a major country has
(14:57):
ever done. We moved in just to help them rebuild,
and then when we were done, we moved out. I'm
not even kidding Douglas MacArthur, who everybody knows General MacArthur
really headed up a lot of this whole thing. But
the United States of America moved into Japan, not to
conquer it, not to take it over, to say, hey, nah,
(15:18):
you can You're not going to be able to have
an emperor anymore, that's a no, but we'll help you
build a new government. Well, in fact, all these cities
that American bombs have just vaporized will help you build
those two Let's rebuild this thing. And once we rebuilt Japan,
(15:38):
we moved out. For the most part, I realized we
still have a presence there in Oklahwa, but for the
most part, America said, hey, glad we got you back
on your feet. Glad hostilities are over. We're going home now.
That is a really really important thing to understand about
American foreign policy. Now. I'm not just talking history because
(15:59):
I know out on it. I'm talking about this specific
time because this specific time has governed so much of
how we view foreign policy and specifically war now, because
how's it worked out for us? What we did in
Japan pretty freaking well. Japan is not only a really
(16:20):
cool country, which I adore, but they are a close
ally now, a very close ally, and a strategically necessary
military ally in an area of the world where China
can dominate it. What we did with Japan post World
War Two, it's hard to describe it as anything but
(16:41):
an unbelievable success. We got, we rebuilt, we helped them,
we're friends. Now. It worked out for everybody. It worked
out for everybody. And you know what that was regime change.
There's no other way to look at it. We did
a regime change and it worked and still works today
(17:05):
and works very well. Now let's fast forward. Vietnam comes
and yes, we are out to stop communist aggression, and
South Vietnam is going to be our friend in this
whole endeavor. We're going to stop this North Vietnamese aggression.
(17:29):
But South Vietnam had a terribly corrupt government, terribly corrupt government. Look,
the North Vietnamese government was horrible and evil. South Vietnamese
government was also horrible, corrupt and evil. We did the
best we could to sell that to the people of
(17:50):
South Vietnam, and our inability to sell that to them
it was a contributing factor in US losing in Vietnam.
Now that's get past Vietnam and get to the War
on Terror. And you remember, you remember, well nine to eleven,
we wake up, we have our towers destroyed by some
(18:15):
dirtball terrorist group named al Qaeda, and we're angry, we're sad,
and we want to know who's responsible. And we'll talk
about that from there and regime change and how all
this came to be. Before we talk about any of that,
I want to talk to you really quickly about the
(18:36):
clock is ticking. Independence Day is almost here, and I
really really want you to nominate a veteran in your
life or yourself to receive a free American flag from
pure Talk. Pure Talk does this kind of stuff all
the time. It's part of why I just love them.
(18:56):
They're not just a cell phone company, a mobile provider.
They're not just better than Verizon AT and T T Mobile.
They genuinely care. They care all the way about our troops,
about this country. And right now, when you go to
puretalk dot com slash nominate, you can nominate a veteran
(19:20):
to receive an allegiance flag, an American made American flag
from pure Talk. We're already getting emails from people who've
gotten these. And man, you want to talk about blessing
a veteran, making a veteran's day. It may sound simple,
it's not. That triangular box shows up and I'm telling
you it tugs at you. Puretalk dot com slash nominate
(19:42):
And while you're at it, switch to Puretalk dial pound
two five zero and say, Jesse Kelly, we'll be back.
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Remember you can download any part of the
show if you miss it on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. Doing
(20:03):
a little rewind here discussing American foreign policy, what it was,
how did all this regime change talk come to be.
So we did World War One and we learned painful
lessons from there, and then we did World War Two
and we learned lessons on how we handle the aftermath.
And the lesson, the ultimate lesson learned by America really
the world, was you can't just beat somebody up. When
(20:25):
you beat them up, you need to help them back
up when they're done, after they've given up, help them up,
get them dressed up, spruced up, get them back on
their feet. Otherwise they may come back and take revenge
on you. One day another Hitler may rise. All right,
brings us to the g WoT, the Global War on Terror,
(20:46):
the g WoT. The towers go down on nine to eleven.
George Bush, he's president at the time, you remember all this, decides, Hey,
let's go into Afghanistan and let's go get this Asama
bin Langhai. Now this may be applicable to today. We
don't know. I hope it's not, but it may be.
(21:07):
We went in there doing it the right way. We
handled it initially the right way. And what I mean
by the right way was there was no topol government talk,
there was no regime change talk. We sent in all
the specops types, all the Green Berets, the spooks, the
CIA guys, the seals. We sent in all those guys,
(21:29):
and they were in there for a mission, a specific mission,
and that mission was hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.
And I don't think anybody, or at least not many
people would have an issue with that. The man responsible
for killing three thousand Americans on nine to eleven, our
country has to go kill him. You have to do
that to send a message to anyone else who may
(21:52):
consider doing it. The world has to know you do
something like that, you will die. I demand that of
my government. I demand my government go do those kinds
of things. Otherwise why would I even be a citizen.
But somewhere along the way, and we can all debate
reasons for this, somewhere along the way we decided, you know,
(22:17):
forget about this small footprint, takeout Bin Laden stuff. Why
don't we remove this Afghanistan government, these Taliban guys. Why
don't we just get rid of all these people, and then,
like we did in Japan, like we did in Europe,
we'll get rid of the bad guys and we'll build
(22:38):
them something new. We may even have a wonderful ally,
and I know you're probably rolling your eyes now again
hindsight twenty twenty being what it is, and of course
same thing in Iraq. Saddam Hussein's a bad guy. It
was a bad guy by any measure. We should take
him out. He's evil, he's is he's that Okay, no
argument there. Well, let's just go take him out, wipe
(23:02):
out his army, and then after we've taken out the
bad guy, just like we did in Japan, just like
we did in World War Two, we will bring a
new form of government, will help them rebuild, and it'll
all work out. But it didn't all work out, did it?
(23:25):
By any measure? The Global War on Terror was not
a success. And that freaking guts me to say. Probably,
I doubt very much you take any pleasure in hearing it,
whether you thought in it or not. It's not pleasant
to think about. But we didn't replace the Afghan government
(23:47):
and rebuild it. We spent twenty years there in the
same group we were going to kick out. Took over
five seconds after we left Iraq. Obviously you know all that.
What went wrong, A lot of things went wrong. One
of the main things that went wrong was we didn't.
(24:09):
We didn't take into account the type of people we
were dealing with, the type of culture we were dealing with.
And here's what I mean. In Japan. Japan's a very
different society, famously different. I love them for their differences,
but some people don't care for it. I think they're fascinating,
(24:31):
wonderful people. They are very moral people. Let me let
me clarify this. I'm not saying they're any better than
Americans or anything else, but they do have a code there,
a moral code, big families, grandparents, parents, kids, close. They
are very attached to their country. They were, for lack
(24:52):
of a better way to put it, they were a
people ripe for a new, better form of government. They
were a people that was ready to accept it and
thrive with it. They were ready for it. That's not Afghanistan.
Totally different history there, totally different type of people, tribal conflict,
(25:17):
religious aspects to religious divisions, to totally different kind of society.
Exact same thing in Iraq, Iraq, exact same thing we have.
She Hees versus Sun. He's a Saddam's bath party. And
then of course Iran gets involved there and you have
the Jihatas, and you didn't have this homogeneous, unified society
(25:40):
of people who were already prepped and ready for something better.
I'll put it to you this way. A good career.
What's a good career. Let's call it an air traffic controller.
They make good money, right, they make very good money.
(26:01):
And I realized it's a stressful job, but it's a
good job. Now there are two different people in front
of me. One guy, completely put together, comes from a
great family, we're hard work, did some sports, has a
good moral founding, goes to church every Sunday. Sorry, Chris
goes to church on every Sunday. I hand him an
(26:24):
air traffic controller job. Hey, here you go. We're gonna
put you through some training and then boom, here's one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year job. There you go.
How's that guy gonna do? You've never even met him.
I just made him up in my mind. You're probably
gonna do okay, isn't he? Then there's another guy, disastrous
family life. He's been divorced four times, in an out
(26:46):
of rehab several times this entire life, been in jail
a few times. I offer him the exact same deal. Hey,
we're gonna train you up for two months and then
into the tower. You go, how's he gonna do? He's
not ready, he's not ready for that job. Doesn't matter
what he's not ready for the job. Regime change can
(27:13):
work and it can't work. It can end with a
great guy having a wonderful job, and it can end
with two planes colliding and six hundred people dying. Is
the guy ready or not? That brings us to where
we are now, where we are, where we're going Israel. Remember,
(27:38):
we have different interests out there too, in different interests
inside of each country. Israel. Understandably, once the Iranian regime gone,
it's a very understandable thing. If you're in that country
and every day it's a new stabbing, a new terrorist attack,
a new threat, a new this, anew that, and ninety
(28:01):
percent of the threat you receive and attacks you receive
are in some way connected to funded by thought up
by Iran, the same country. Well, it's the most understandable
thing in the world. When given an opportunity to take
out that government that's been doing that to you, that
you would want to step up and say, okay, it's
(28:23):
on that boys, especially after October seventh, especially after we
watch a thousand people die, especially after you know what
we are done. Opportunities here, there's more of an appetite
for it nationally and internationally than we've ever had before.
Let's go kill all of Iranian's leadership. So that's one motivation,
and it's an understandable motivation. And then let's talk about
(28:45):
us here at home, the tightrope Donald Trump has to
walk with competing interests and where we are and where
we're going. We'll continue this in a moment. Before we
continue this, let's remember that because of relief factor, living
with pain is a choice. Now, it is a choice.
(29:11):
It's understandable to think that it's always going to be there.
My back's just always gonna hurt. I got a bad back.
My knees always gonna bother me. I'm always gonna be
rubbing it flex in my leg. I'm gonna have to
be careful I go up, if I go up or
down too many stairs. That's a lie. You think you
have to accept it because you haven't tried relief factor yet.
(29:32):
One hundred percent drug free, we're not talking about masking
the pain. No more of that nonsense. It's terrible for
your body. No more ignoring it. It's terrible for your life.
Take care of it, Go after the root of it.
Relief factor will build up in your system. The longer
you take it, the better it works. When you call
(29:54):
one eight hundred the number four Relief, you're not signing
up for a lifetime subscription. You're buying three weeks. That's it.
Three weeks, nineteen dollars and ninety five cents. Three weeks
of it. Take it for three weeks and tell me
how that knee feels. Go to Relief Factor dot com
or one eight hundred the number four Relief. We'll be back.
(30:16):
Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show, reminding you
you can and should email the show. You love, your hate,
your death threats, whatever you'd like Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow
dot com. So back to our present situation. Here Israel
wants the Iranian regime gone. I understand earlier today, I'm
(30:40):
sure you already saw the former of the Shaw, the
guy who would take over is calling for regime chain.
We have a lot of very powerful men in our
country calling for regime change.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We most certainly need to have regime change in Iran.
This is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Time for regime change, and I believe that this president
should be given a fair amount of leeway.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
To affect that.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
It's time to close the chapter on the Iran and
Iotolin his henchman. Let's close that chapter soon and start
a new chapter in the Mideast, one of tolerance to
hope in peace.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Got pundits all over the television shed television set not
schet shed is not that's not a thing. That's that
doesn't make any sense anyway. Here they are. How do
you feel.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
About regime change as a US goal? Well, I think
it should be America's declared policy. The regime itself is
the problem here has been all along.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, okay, So where does Donald Trump go from here?
How do we handle things from here? Well, what Donald
Trump very clearly wanted and wants. What he wanted was
let me go drop a few bombs and call it good.
(31:56):
We practically screamed that dropped a few bombs, These big
bunker buster bombs fired, all these Tamahawk missiles, wiped out
these nuclear facilities they had, and then everybody in this
administration came out and said, all right, you better let
that be it. Don't attack us back. Hey, we're good now, right,
We're good now.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
If the Iranians attack us, they're going to be met
with overwhelming force.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And I don't think the President.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Could be clear about this. If you look at what
we did yesterday, John, we did not attack the nation
of Iran. We did not attack any civilian targets. We
didn't even attack military targets outside of the three nuclear
weapons facilities that we thought were important to accomplish our
goal of preventing a Ran from having a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
So how a ran? All right, what's he saying there?
I understand that that can be a little shoulder shrug
inducing when you hear what we didn't even attack Iran.
We just bombed their nuclear facilities. But what are they doing?
Donald Trump? The Trump administration clearly wants that to be it.
He wants to watch the tightrope of Hey, we got involved,
(33:03):
we helped Iran. Now can't have a nuclear weapon. We
helped our ally Israel. Look at us, Look at what
we did. We did it at virtually no risk to us.
We're good now, right, Hey, Iran, We're good now, right,
and Iran with that attack earlier today, I'm sure you
(33:24):
already saw, in case you didn't, they launched six missiles
at Qatar. They warned publicly they were getting ready to
attack us. They launched six missiles at our base in Qatar.
They launched six missiles at our people, but they were
all easily intercepted. Nobody heard, and it almost looks like
(33:45):
a face saving thing for Iran. It almost looked like
Iran saying, hey, we told you we were going to
hit you back for what you did. Now we did,
and now we're definitely good, So we might be good.
But here is the issue, and it's a big issue,
and I don't know where we're going to go. The
(34:08):
big issue is there are a lot of voices out
there and a lot of people who hold power out
there with motivations that are different from the Trump Administration's motivations.
The Trump administration JD Vance in particular. They are aware,
(34:30):
very aware that America itself, America is totally fine, and
every poll shows this America is totally fine. The American
people are totally fine. Dropping some bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities.
That has overwhelming popular support in this country. The American
people saw that and said, yeah, sounds good. Get them.
They are also very very aware the second American boots
(34:55):
touched the ground in Iran that public support vanishes. Why
jd vance through this.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after twenty
five years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I understand the concern.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
But the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents,
and now we have a president who actually knows how
to accomplish America's national security.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The Trump administration wants to be done, show up, drop
the kids off at the pool, meaning drop a couple
bunker buster bombs, go home, and call it a day.
That's all what Israel wants. That's not what the former
(35:40):
leader of Iran wants. Well, his son is that what
American senators want. Certainly doesn't sound like it those senators.
I keep playing this little montage James Langford, Tom Tillis,
Lindsey Graham. You know what all three of those guys
have in common.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
These you most certainly need to have regime change in Iran.
This is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Time for regime change. And I believe that this part. Yeah,
you got it. They're all Republicans. I don't know where
this is going to go, and yes, that rhyme, Chris,
and I can see the admiration on your face. I
don't know where this is going to go. I don't
nobody does. I have a pretty good gauge on what
(36:29):
the Trump administration wants. But remember they're not the only
ones calling the shots. What about the intelligence community? What
do you think they want? How have they How is
the American intelligence community operated when it comes to foreign
entanglements trying to get us out of them or trying
to keep us in them? The Pentagon, I realize Pete
(36:51):
Hegseth has the right idea, certainly saying the right thing.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
This mission was not and has not been about regime change.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Everyone at the Pentagon feel that way. How have all
those wonderful generals and amirals at the Pentagon, how have
they handled America's foreign entanglements trying to get us out
of them? I don't know where we're going to go
from here. I know the journey is dangerous and we
will see where it goes. All right, We're gonna just
(37:22):
stay with it. And see where it goes. I am
after Medal of Honor Monday. I am going to bring
up another uncomfortable historical thing and it may make you
squirre them in your chair a little bit, but it's
worth discussing. But we need to go do Metal of
Honor Monday first, and we need to honor a hero first.
(37:42):
Before we get to that, we need to take care
of our dogs with actual nutrition. Why do you think
your dog food is brown? How did I know that?
Because all dog food is brown. It's not because I'm smart.
Dog food's brown. Why because they kill everything in it? Why?
Because it lasts longer on the shelf fresh things. You know,
(38:05):
it's the same way it works for human food. Fresh things.
Things that aren't loaded with preservatives, they go bad quickly.
That's part of how it works. You load something down
with preservatives, you kill everything in it. You know, you've
seen those pictures of the fast food cheeseburger that looks
the same after twenty five years sitting in the open.
That's dog food. That's what we give our dogs. Why
(38:26):
don't you put actual nutrition on your dog's food. Sprinkle
roughgreens on your dog's food all the vitamins and minerals
and probiotics and everything your dog needs to live a long,
happy life. Call eight three three three three my dog,
or go to roughgreens dot com slash jesse. All right,
(38:49):
roughgreens dot com slash jesse. Get a free jumpstart trial back,
give it to your dogs. See what your dog thinks?
All right, and yes they have miogreens for cats. Enough
of that, let's do Metal of Home or Monday next
This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Let's have some fun on a Monday. You
have made it through the weekend, and isn't it so
exciting to start the work week. Of course, we have
(00:33):
a great show we planned for you tonight, as we
always do on a Medal of Honor Monday, and that's
coming up an hour from now. We're gonna do a
little historical rewind to start the show, because I know
everyone has Israel Iran on their mind. Where are we going?
What are my feelings? What the regime change? No regime change?
(00:54):
Where's all this stuff going? The Iranian response? All that
and so much more is coming up in at least
the first hour. It's gonna take us a while to
get through all that, but we're gonna give a little
bit of a historical perspective on those on those things,
and then we're going to talk about some domestic issues
that matter a lot. Technology is still run by the
dirty communists. Members of Congress like Nancy Pelosi clearly insider
(01:19):
trading the state of the Democrat Party. One Blue area
is proving why you must move if you can. All
that in so much more coming up tonight on the
world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, I have email after
email after email about Iran. This guy says, I've become
(01:41):
more anti war after nineteen years. What are your thoughts
on this? After a week this guy says, Boy, Jesse,
did you ever nail it? That's because I told everyone
last week that it was coming. We were going to
start dropping bombs. Jesse, your take on Iran being bombed
this weekend was incredible. That's why I listen all the Okay,
so there's a lot, there's a lot on your mind,
(02:03):
and so I'm warning you now that history we're about
to do is heading in that direction. Because regime change
is a term that's being thrown around a lot in
various ways. There are a lot of people out there
saying we're not in the regime change business doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It's in a regime change move. This was designed to
degrade and or destroy three nuclear sites related to their
nuclear weaponization ambitions. I don't like the regime, but we're
not into the regime change business here.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, that's pretty clear from the Secretary of State Pete
HAGGSV came out said.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
This mission has not been about regime change. The president
authorized a precision operation.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, there's been a lot of that talk. Sounds good,
but there's some mixed messaging out there. Of course, Donald
Trump came out social media. This is what he said.
It's not politically correct to use the term regime change,
but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make
Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Okay,
(03:11):
we have several US senators saying this.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
We certainly need to have regime change in Iran. This
is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans time
for regime change.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And I believe that this president should be given a
fair amount of leeway to affect that.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
It's time to close the chapter on the Iran and
Iotolin his henchmen. Let's close that chapter soon and start
a new chapter in the Mideast, one of tolerance to
hope in peace.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right, let's pause everything for a moment, and let's discuss
history in a couple of different ways. Because we're going
to talk about getting into a war while pretending like
you don't want to get into war. We're going to
talk about regime change. We're going to talk about lies,
We're going to approach this whole thing as we have
(03:57):
the entire time, not hysterical, not no war ever, ah,
and not kill them on that God sort them out. Nope, Nope,
not doing that. We're going to approach this soberly, and
we're going to analyze this like adults, you and me. First,
let's go with the regime change aspect of it. Why
(04:18):
is that even a thing? Well, let's do some history.
This would be very very basic. For people who know history,
you will know this. For those who don't, look, history's
not taught very well in most schools. For those who don't,
this might be some new information. Let's rewind. Oh the
way back to the early nineteen hundreds. World War One
(04:40):
is what we're doing here. Germany, France, Britain, Russia, Austria, Hungary.
That that was a country back then. They all get
in a nasty, nasty, hot war known as World War One.
It's bad. Millions of people were dying. The world is horrified.
(05:01):
The world is horrified. Okay, the world had never ever
seen casualty numbers like this. It just it blew people
away that that was even possible. All right, World War
One ends, It ends, and Germany lost Germany lost, and
(05:21):
the people who won the Frances, the Britons, US. We
made a choice, and this choice has been crushed because
hindsight is twenty twenty and because of how it worked
out in the end. But the thinking at the time
was this, we've all lost a lot of lives, we've
(05:42):
all lost a lot of treasure. Here. It was clearly
Germany's fault, which let's pause for a second, and that's debatable,
but anyway, at the time, it's clearly Germany's fault. Germany
was the bad guy. Germany did all this. It's all
the dirty German's fault. So since it what's their fault,
(06:02):
shouldn't they be punished for it? Shouldn't they pay for everything?
Shouldn't they? And so brutal, brutal punishment was brought down
on Germany, from US, from France, from Britain. Brutal punishment,
the kind of punishment first of all the reparations. The
(06:22):
other nations essentially told Germany, hey, sorry, you lost. You
need to pay for everything, our war, your war, everything. Now,
this is a country whose economy is already in shambles.
You just got done fighting a multi year World war.
Economy is already bad, and then we tell them, hey,
you need to pay for everything. This would be the
equivalent of you, you declare bankruptcy because you've lost it all,
(06:47):
you can't pay your bills, and then your mother shows
up and tells you that you owe her two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars because she spent all that time
raising you. You don't have a don't have a penny
at this point in time. So we did that. Oh
but we did something else that may have been as
damaging as the reparations. We said, hmm, by the way,
(07:11):
on top of all this money you're going to need
to pay, we're going to go ahead and take all
your most valuable territory. So that would be the equivalent
of your mother showing up after you declared bankruptcy demanding
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and then work calling
you that day and saying, by the way, you're fired.
(07:31):
We took away the most valuable territory, the most valuable
parts of their economy. It was a brutal chastisement of Germany.
How about that Chris College word chastisement. Anyway, we crushed Germany. Germany,
it's all your fault. We crushed them. And I know
we all look back now and talk about how horrible
that decision was. I get that at the time, it
(07:53):
made sense to people Germany, it's all your fault, you pay. Okay.
Where that lead? Well, you took a large, modern country
and you beat them up, and once you had beaten
them up, you then started kicking dirt in their face
and spitting on them. The people of Germany were crushed,
(08:17):
economically crushed, spiritually crushed, national pride wounded beyond measure, a
down in out people you've seen If you haven't seen,
I would actually encourage you to go look this up.
Pictures online of people in Germany post World War One
Germany walking around with wheelbarrows full of cash? Are these
(08:42):
rich people know? The cash was so worthless? People would
haul it around and start fires with it. You think
you've got inflation problems, which I know you do. I'm
not dismissing those, but they knew about inflation. A people
completely smashed, and then because they were down and out,
(09:02):
this happens when a country is down and out, just
they heads up. Because Germany was down and out, groups
started to fight for power. Different groups there were communist groups. Obviously,
you know about the Nazis. You know who ends up
you you know in hindsight, who ends up winning this
whole thing. But the Nazis weren't the only group in
(09:23):
Germany fighting for power. There were many different groups in
Germany fighting for power, but all of them, virtually all
of them, were selling a similar message. There was a
common thread in all the messaging, and the common thread
was you shouldn't have to live like this. You shouldn't
have to take this. This shouldn't be this way. You pour,
(09:48):
you beaten down wheelbarrels full of cash, because our money's
worth this. There should be something better. And of course,
you know spoiler alert, you know how that ended up.
An insane, hate ful demagogue named Adolf Hitler who gave
(10:09):
an amazing speech. He was infamous for it. He would
started out in the beer halls giving it, and he
got so famous for his speeches people would gather around
just to hear him. He became the voice of this
growing Nazi party, Nazis' takeover Europe. Nazis get us all
into World War two. Just fast forwarding through all these things,
(10:30):
then we end up post World War two. We will
start again there. In just a moment, like I said,
this is a very abridged history, I realized I glossed
over just a couple things. Do you geek out on
history like this? Hillsdale will teach you in depth things
you never knew. And by the way, they will teach
you things you never knew I had. I got this
(10:51):
email about Hillsdale. I love this because this exact same
thing happened to me. This lady said, Jesse, I've been
watching several free courses from Hillsdale College and they're all
very good, but my favorite by far is Understanding Capitalism.
The course was incredible. I think it should be required content.
Even though I studied business in economics in college. There
was so much I didn't know. She said, thanks for
(11:14):
always making me laugh. When you take a free course
from Hillsdale, you will learn things. I don't care how
much you think you know. I'm I'm floored at what
I don't know every time I take one, and they're free,
no cost. More than forty courses online at no cost
(11:35):
Hillsdale dot edu slash Jesse, is how you get those?
All right? All right, we'll continue from there, and we're
gonna tie all this stuff in next you're listening to
the Oracle. You love this one. It's a scream baby.
The Jesse Kelly Show blah blah blah blah blah stepped on.
(12:05):
It is The Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday,
reminding you you can email us, and you should. We'd
love your emails Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We
are talking in a very roundabout way Israel, Iran, where
we're going, where we're at. But first we're addressing the idea,
(12:26):
the concept of regime change. That term is being thrown around.
We're not doing it. We are doing it well, I
think we need it. No, we never do that thing. Okay,
so where did it come from? We talked about post
World War One in the opening of the show. Post
World War One, we decided, well, regime change, that's your
freaking problem. We're just gonna bomb the living daylights out
of you Germany. You lost World War One, give us
(12:47):
all your money, Screw you, it's your problem now. That
led directly to the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.
Then World War Two comes just most horrible, most destructive
event in all of human history, death and carnage like
people had never seen. And by the time that war
(13:09):
was done, they were looking at each other, the leaders
of the world were looking at each other. And with
that kind of death, with that kind of sorrow and sadness,
you start asking questions, could we have avoided this? What
did we do wrong? This was something that should have
never happened. So what did we do wrong? And they
(13:30):
came to the conclusion, a conclusion that is widely accepted today,
that it was that punishment of Germany after World War
One that led to Hitler's rise. Therefore, once you defeat
a nation in war, you should step in and help
(13:52):
them rebuild their country in a different way. Now, of course,
they're going to have to give up some things and
what not, but you're gonna help them form a new government.
Part of it will be their choice, part of it'll
be yours. But help them build a new government, help
them build a new country. It was I mean, it's
(14:13):
an odd thing, but understandable. And this is going to
sound like I'm defending regime change, but I'm explaining how
this idea came to be. Let's simply look at Japan
post World War two. Now we did the same thing
in Europe that that's a little different. But in Japan
post World War Two, remember, we pounded Japan to dust.
Everybody knows about the two atom bombs. The atom bombs
(14:37):
were a fraction of what we did to Japan. We
carpet bombed almost every Japanese major city. We pulverize that country.
They give up, and we as a country did one
of the kindest things I think a major country has
(14:57):
ever done. We moved in just to help them rebuild,
and then when we were done, we moved out. I'm
not even kidding Douglas MacArthur, who everybody knows General MacArthur
really headed up a lot of this whole thing. But
the United States of America moved into Japan, not to
conquer it, not to take it over, to say, hey, nah,
(15:18):
you can You're not going to be able to have
an emperor anymore, that's a no, but we'll help you
build a new government. Well, in fact, all these cities
that American bombs have just vaporized will help you build
those two Let's rebuild this thing. And once we rebuilt Japan,
(15:38):
we moved out. For the most part, I realized we
still have a presence there in Oklahwa, but for the
most part, America said, hey, glad we got you back
on your feet. Glad hostilities are over. We're going home now.
That is a really really important thing to understand about
American foreign policy. Now. I'm not just talking history because
(15:59):
I know out on it. I'm talking about this specific
time because this specific time has governed so much of
how we view foreign policy and specifically war now, because
how's it worked out for us? What we did in
Japan pretty freaking well. Japan is not only a really
(16:20):
cool country, which I adore, but they are a close
ally now, a very close ally, and a strategically necessary
military ally in an area of the world where China
can dominate it. What we did with Japan post World
War Two, it's hard to describe it as anything but
(16:41):
an unbelievable success. We got, we rebuilt, we helped them,
we're friends. Now. It worked out for everybody. It worked
out for everybody. And you know what that was regime change.
There's no other way to look at it. We did
a regime change and it worked and still works today
(17:05):
and works very well. Now let's fast forward. Vietnam comes
and yes, we are out to stop communist aggression, and
South Vietnam is going to be our friend in this
whole endeavor. We're going to stop this North Vietnamese aggression.
(17:29):
But South Vietnam had a terribly corrupt government, terribly corrupt government. Look,
the North Vietnamese government was horrible and evil. South Vietnamese
government was also horrible, corrupt and evil. We did the
best we could to sell that to the people of
(17:50):
South Vietnam, and our inability to sell that to them
it was a contributing factor in US losing in Vietnam.
Now that's get past Vietnam and get to the War
on Terror. And you remember, you remember, well nine to eleven,
we wake up, we have our towers destroyed by some
(18:15):
dirtball terrorist group named al Qaeda, and we're angry, we're sad,
and we want to know who's responsible. And we'll talk
about that from there and regime change and how all
this came to be. Before we talk about any of that,
I want to talk to you really quickly about the
(18:36):
clock is ticking. Independence Day is almost here, and I
really really want you to nominate a veteran in your
life or yourself to receive a free American flag from
pure Talk. Pure Talk does this kind of stuff all
the time. It's part of why I just love them.
(18:56):
They're not just a cell phone company, a mobile provider.
They're not just better than Verizon AT and T T Mobile.
They genuinely care. They care all the way about our troops,
about this country. And right now, when you go to
puretalk dot com slash nominate, you can nominate a veteran
(19:20):
to receive an allegiance flag, an American made American flag
from pure Talk. We're already getting emails from people who've
gotten these. And man, you want to talk about blessing
a veteran, making a veteran's day. It may sound simple,
it's not. That triangular box shows up and I'm telling
you it tugs at you. Puretalk dot com slash nominate
(19:42):
And while you're at it, switch to Puretalk dial pound
two five zero and say, Jesse Kelly, we'll be back.
This is a Jesse Kelly Show. It is the Jesse
Kelly Show. Remember you can download any part of the
show if you miss it on iHeart, Spotify iTunes. Doing
(20:03):
a little rewind here discussing American foreign policy, what it was,
how did all this regime change talk come to be.
So we did World War One and we learned painful
lessons from there, and then we did World War Two
and we learned lessons on how we handle the aftermath.
And the lesson, the ultimate lesson learned by America really
the world, was you can't just beat somebody up. When
(20:25):
you beat them up, you need to help them back
up when they're done, after they've given up, help them up,
get them dressed up, spruced up, get them back on
their feet. Otherwise they may come back and take revenge
on you. One day another Hitler may rise. All right,
brings us to the g WoT, the Global War on Terror,
(20:46):
the g WoT. The towers go down on nine to eleven.
George Bush, he's president at the time, you remember all this, decides, Hey,
let's go into Afghanistan and let's go get this Asama
bin Langhai. Now this may be applicable to today. We
don't know. I hope it's not, but it may be.
(21:07):
We went in there doing it the right way. We
handled it initially the right way. And what I mean
by the right way was there was no topol government talk,
there was no regime change talk. We sent in all
the specops types, all the Green Berets, the spooks, the
CIA guys, the seals. We sent in all those guys,
(21:29):
and they were in there for a mission, a specific mission,
and that mission was hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.
And I don't think anybody, or at least not many
people would have an issue with that. The man responsible
for killing three thousand Americans on nine to eleven, our
country has to go kill him. You have to do
that to send a message to anyone else who may
(21:52):
consider doing it. The world has to know you do
something like that, you will die. I demand that of
my government. I demand my government go do those kinds
of things. Otherwise why would I even be a citizen.
But somewhere along the way, and we can all debate
reasons for this, somewhere along the way we decided, you know,
(22:17):
forget about this small footprint, takeout Bin Laden stuff. Why
don't we remove this Afghanistan government, these Taliban guys. Why
don't we just get rid of all these people, and then,
like we did in Japan, like we did in Europe,
we'll get rid of the bad guys and we'll build
(22:38):
them something new. We may even have a wonderful ally,
and I know you're probably rolling your eyes now again
hindsight twenty twenty being what it is, and of course
same thing in Iraq. Saddam Hussein's a bad guy. It
was a bad guy by any measure. We should take
him out. He's evil, he's is he's that Okay, no
argument there. Well, let's just go take him out, wipe
(23:02):
out his army, and then after we've taken out the
bad guy, just like we did in Japan, just like
we did in World War Two, we will bring a
new form of government, will help them rebuild, and it'll
all work out. But it didn't all work out, did it?
(23:25):
By any measure? The Global War on Terror was not
a success. And that freaking guts me to say. Probably,
I doubt very much you take any pleasure in hearing it,
whether you thought in it or not. It's not pleasant
to think about. But we didn't replace the Afghan government
(23:47):
and rebuild it. We spent twenty years there in the
same group we were going to kick out. Took over
five seconds after we left Iraq. Obviously you know all that.
What went wrong, A lot of things went wrong. One
of the main things that went wrong was we didn't.
(24:09):
We didn't take into account the type of people we
were dealing with, the type of culture we were dealing with.
And here's what I mean. In Japan. Japan's a very
different society, famously different. I love them for their differences,
but some people don't care for it. I think they're fascinating,
(24:31):
wonderful people. They are very moral people. Let me let
me clarify this. I'm not saying they're any better than
Americans or anything else, but they do have a code there,
a moral code, big families, grandparents, parents, kids, close. They
are very attached to their country. They were, for lack
(24:52):
of a better way to put it, they were a
people ripe for a new, better form of government. They
were a people that was ready to accept it and
thrive with it. They were ready for it. That's not Afghanistan.
Totally different history there, totally different type of people, tribal conflict,
(25:17):
religious aspects to religious divisions, to totally different kind of society.
Exact same thing in Iraq, Iraq, exact same thing we have.
She Hees versus Sun. He's a Saddam's bath party. And
then of course Iran gets involved there and you have
the Jihatas, and you didn't have this homogeneous, unified society
(25:40):
of people who were already prepped and ready for something better.
I'll put it to you this way. A good career.
What's a good career. Let's call it an air traffic controller.
They make good money, right, they make very good money.
(26:01):
And I realized it's a stressful job, but it's a
good job. Now there are two different people in front
of me. One guy, completely put together, comes from a
great family, we're hard work, did some sports, has a
good moral founding, goes to church every Sunday. Sorry, Chris
goes to church on every Sunday. I hand him an
(26:24):
air traffic controller job. Hey, here you go. We're gonna
put you through some training and then boom, here's one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year job. There you go.
How's that guy gonna do? You've never even met him.
I just made him up in my mind. You're probably
gonna do okay, isn't he? Then there's another guy, disastrous
family life. He's been divorced four times, in an out
(26:46):
of rehab several times this entire life, been in jail
a few times. I offer him the exact same deal. Hey,
we're gonna train you up for two months and then
into the tower. You go, how's he gonna do? He's
not ready, he's not ready for that job. Doesn't matter
what he's not ready for the job. Regime change can
(27:13):
work and it can't work. It can end with a
great guy having a wonderful job, and it can end
with two planes colliding and six hundred people dying. Is
the guy ready or not? That brings us to where
we are now, where we are, where we're going Israel. Remember,
(27:38):
we have different interests out there too, in different interests
inside of each country. Israel. Understandably, once the Iranian regime gone,
it's a very understandable thing. If you're in that country
and every day it's a new stabbing, a new terrorist attack,
a new threat, a new this, anew that, and ninety
(28:01):
percent of the threat you receive and attacks you receive
are in some way connected to funded by thought up
by Iran, the same country. Well, it's the most understandable
thing in the world. When given an opportunity to take
out that government that's been doing that to you, that
you would want to step up and say, okay, it's
(28:23):
on that boys, especially after October seventh, especially after we
watch a thousand people die, especially after you know what
we are done. Opportunities here, there's more of an appetite
for it nationally and internationally than we've ever had before.
Let's go kill all of Iranian's leadership. So that's one motivation,
and it's an understandable motivation. And then let's talk about
(28:45):
us here at home, the tightrope Donald Trump has to
walk with competing interests and where we are and where
we're going. We'll continue this in a moment. Before we
continue this, let's remember that because of relief factor, living
with pain is a choice. Now, it is a choice.
(29:11):
It's understandable to think that it's always going to be there.
My back's just always gonna hurt. I got a bad back.
My knees always gonna bother me. I'm always gonna be
rubbing it flex in my leg. I'm gonna have to
be careful I go up, if I go up or
down too many stairs. That's a lie. You think you
have to accept it because you haven't tried relief factor yet.
(29:32):
One hundred percent drug free, we're not talking about masking
the pain. No more of that nonsense. It's terrible for
your body. No more ignoring it. It's terrible for your life.
Take care of it, Go after the root of it.
Relief factor will build up in your system. The longer
you take it, the better it works. When you call
(29:54):
one eight hundred the number four Relief, you're not signing
up for a lifetime subscription. You're buying three weeks. That's it.
Three weeks, nineteen dollars and ninety five cents. Three weeks
of it. Take it for three weeks and tell me
how that knee feels. Go to Relief Factor dot com
or one eight hundred the number four Relief. We'll be back.
(30:16):
Jesse Kelly. It is the Jesse Kelly Show, reminding you
you can and should email the show. You love, your hate,
your death threats, whatever you'd like Jesse at Jesse Kellyshow
dot com. So back to our present situation. Here Israel
wants the Iranian regime gone. I understand earlier today, I'm
(30:40):
sure you already saw the former of the Shaw, the
guy who would take over is calling for regime chain.
We have a lot of very powerful men in our
country calling for regime change.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We most certainly need to have regime change in Iran.
This is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Time for regime change, and I believe that this president
should be given a fair amount of leeway.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
To affect that.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
It's time to close the chapter on the Iran and
Iotolin his henchman. Let's close that chapter soon and start
a new chapter in the Mideast, one of tolerance to
hope in peace.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Got pundits all over the television shed television set not
schet shed is not that's not a thing. That's that
doesn't make any sense anyway. Here they are. How do
you feel.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
About regime change as a US goal? Well, I think
it should be America's declared policy. The regime itself is
the problem here has been all along.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, okay, So where does Donald Trump go from here?
How do we handle things from here? Well, what Donald
Trump very clearly wanted and wants. What he wanted was
let me go drop a few bombs and call it good.
(31:56):
We practically screamed that dropped a few bombs, These big
bunker buster bombs fired, all these Tamahawk missiles, wiped out
these nuclear facilities they had, and then everybody in this
administration came out and said, all right, you better let
that be it. Don't attack us back. Hey, we're good now, right,
We're good now.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
If the Iranians attack us, they're going to be met
with overwhelming force.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And I don't think the President.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Could be clear about this. If you look at what
we did yesterday, John, we did not attack the nation
of Iran. We did not attack any civilian targets. We
didn't even attack military targets outside of the three nuclear
weapons facilities that we thought were important to accomplish our
goal of preventing a Ran from having a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
So how a ran? All right, what's he saying there?
I understand that that can be a little shoulder shrug
inducing when you hear what we didn't even attack Iran.
We just bombed their nuclear facilities. But what are they doing?
Donald Trump? The Trump administration clearly wants that to be it.
He wants to watch the tightrope of Hey, we got involved,
(33:03):
we helped Iran. Now can't have a nuclear weapon. We
helped our ally Israel. Look at us, Look at what
we did. We did it at virtually no risk to us.
We're good now, right, Hey, Iran, We're good now, right,
and Iran with that attack earlier today, I'm sure you
(33:24):
already saw, in case you didn't, they launched six missiles
at Qatar. They warned publicly they were getting ready to
attack us. They launched six missiles at our base in Qatar.
They launched six missiles at our people, but they were
all easily intercepted. Nobody heard, and it almost looks like
(33:45):
a face saving thing for Iran. It almost looked like
Iran saying, hey, we told you we were going to
hit you back for what you did. Now we did,
and now we're definitely good, So we might be good.
But here is the issue, and it's a big issue,
and I don't know where we're going to go. The
(34:08):
big issue is there are a lot of voices out
there and a lot of people who hold power out
there with motivations that are different from the Trump Administration's motivations.
The Trump administration JD Vance in particular. They are aware,
(34:30):
very aware that America itself, America is totally fine, and
every poll shows this America is totally fine. The American
people are totally fine. Dropping some bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities.
That has overwhelming popular support in this country. The American
people saw that and said, yeah, sounds good. Get them.
They are also very very aware the second American boots
(34:55):
touched the ground in Iran that public support vanishes. Why
jd vance through this.
Speaker 6 (35:01):
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after twenty
five years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I understand the concern.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
But the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents,
and now we have a president who actually knows how
to accomplish America's national security.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The Trump administration wants to be done, show up, drop
the kids off at the pool, meaning drop a couple
bunker buster bombs, go home, and call it a day.
That's all what Israel wants. That's not what the former
(35:40):
leader of Iran wants. Well, his son is that what
American senators want. Certainly doesn't sound like it those senators.
I keep playing this little montage James Langford, Tom Tillis,
Lindsey Graham. You know what all three of those guys
have in common.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
These you most certainly need to have regime change in Iran.
This is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Time for regime change. And I believe that this part. Yeah,
you got it. They're all Republicans. I don't know where
this is going to go, and yes, that rhyme, Chris,
and I can see the admiration on your face. I
don't know where this is going to go. I don't
nobody does. I have a pretty good gauge on what
(36:29):
the Trump administration wants. But remember they're not the only
ones calling the shots. What about the intelligence community? What
do you think they want? How have they How is
the American intelligence community operated when it comes to foreign
entanglements trying to get us out of them or trying
to keep us in them? The Pentagon, I realize Pete
(36:51):
Hegseth has the right idea, certainly saying the right thing.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
This mission was not and has not been about regime change.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Everyone at the Pentagon feel that way. How have all
those wonderful generals and amirals at the Pentagon, how have
they handled America's foreign entanglements trying to get us out
of them? I don't know where we're going to go
from here. I know the journey is dangerous and we
will see where it goes. All right, We're gonna just
(37:22):
stay with it. And see where it goes. I am
after Medal of Honor Monday. I am going to bring
up another uncomfortable historical thing and it may make you
squirre them in your chair a little bit, but it's
worth discussing. But we need to go do Metal of
Honor Monday first, and we need to honor a hero first.
(37:42):
Before we get to that, we need to take care
of our dogs with actual nutrition. Why do you think
your dog food is brown? How did I know that?
Because all dog food is brown. It's not because I'm smart.
Dog food's brown. Why because they kill everything in it? Why?
Because it lasts longer on the shelf fresh things. You know,
(38:05):
it's the same way it works for human food. Fresh things.
Things that aren't loaded with preservatives, they go bad quickly.
That's part of how it works. You load something down
with preservatives, you kill everything in it. You know, you've
seen those pictures of the fast food cheeseburger that looks
the same after twenty five years sitting in the open.
That's dog food. That's what we give our dogs. Why
(38:26):
don't you put actual nutrition on your dog's food. Sprinkle
roughgreens on your dog's food all the vitamins and minerals
and probiotics and everything your dog needs to live a long,
happy life. Call eight three three three three my dog,
or go to roughgreens dot com slash jesse. All right,
(38:49):
roughgreens dot com slash jesse. Get a free jumpstart trial back,
give it to your dogs. See what your dog thinks?
All right, and yes they have miogreens for cats. Enough
of that, let's do Metal of Home or Monday next
