Speaker 1 (00:02):
Who guards the system. We're going to talk about violence tonight.
That'll be exciting. How is the war in Iran? Going?
When's it going to end? We have a guest talking
about that. We have a guest talking about the midterms,
how we look and how can we make sure we win?
All that? More coming up on them. Right, Let's talk

(00:27):
about violence, shall we? And this is about the system.
But what is the true power of the system? And remember,
if you're a new viewer, the system is what I
call all the institutions in a society. Once they've been
conquered by communists, they will instead of keeping a check
on each other, they will work together. The media works

(00:48):
with the politicians, they work with the FBI, who works
with the educator. That they all work together to move
the communist revolution forward. Okay, we got all that, But
what is their true power? These limpristed politicians? What is
their true power? Well, let me ask you something. If
you if you see somebody you don't like, maybe somebody

(01:10):
who did something bad, what would happen to you if
you grabbed that person and put zip ties on their
hands and lock them in your closet for five years?
You're gonna go to prison, because that's a felony. That's kidnapping.
Please don't do that. You're not allowed to do that.
What if you found somebody and you decided that person

(01:34):
committed some kind of horrible act, murder, something like that,
and so you grabbed them, tied them up, took them
out in the woods, and shot them in the head.
What happened to you? Ah, You're going to prison. Not
allowed to do that. That's that's murder. Can can't do that, okay,
but the government can't. The justice system. And don't take

(01:56):
this as some fruity liberal complaint about the justice system.
You need a justice system that can arrest people, that
can execute murders and things like that. I'm not saying that,
But the justice system of any country, they are the
ones who have a legal monopoly on really all acts
of violence. The justice system. We empower it, We entrust

(02:18):
it in a society to commit acts of violence on
our behalf and search for justice to get bad guys
off the street safety. There are a laundry list of
reasons why we human beings entrust a justice system to that.
But the justice system can and does commit acts of

(02:38):
violence every single day. We want them to it's legal.
No one's going to arrest them. That cop who throws
the handcuffs on the bank robber and takes him down
to the jail and the bank robber gets locked up
for twenty years, nobody's going to look at that cop
and say kidnapper. We look at him and we say
thank you for your service, sor thank you for keeping
us safe. Now, that's how society ideally works. But when

(03:02):
you have an evil, corrupt system, a communist system like
the one we're drifting towards rapidly in this country, they
will use that legalized violence for the revolution. And they
do this by sending loyal communists and having them take

(03:23):
over the justice system every level they possibly can. It's
not one level, it's not one thing. It's judges, it's das,
it's cops, it's FBI agents, it's look, pick your poison.
But when they see the justice system, when communists see
the justice system, they don't see it as a necessary

(03:44):
thing for society to get bad people off the street.
You know what they see, ooh, legalized violence. We could
probably hurt a lot of people we want to hurt
if we take over that justice system. This is not
unique what is happening in America today is not unique.
Every single communist system throughout history has done the exact
same thing. They have installed their own people into the

(04:07):
justice system and then used that justice system as a
weapon against their political opponents. You, of course, remember we
just had yet another assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But
that's probably honestly, that's probably soft pedaling it. We had
an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The guy he said
he wanted to kill them all, So that's Trump. Jd Vance,

(04:28):
Pete hag Seth, Marco Rubie. You know, the guy who
ran through a metal detector and shotgun to Secret Service
agent in the chest with the intention of committing mass murder.
Kind of a bad thing, right, kind of That's the
kind of thing you should, well, I don't know. If
he doesn't die at the scene, you should arrest him.
He should be put on trial the next day. If

(04:48):
convicted by a jury, you should have him swing from
the gallows on national television and hang there for a
couple of days. That's an actual justice system in this country.
We have judges. I have to make sure I read
the name, like Zia m Faruqui. He just issued an
apology to the assassin because he didn't like his jail

(05:11):
house conditions. You know, this is the same judge that
went on a rant after the January six ers. Well,
he went on a rant about the January six ers
getting better treatment. You know why he's there, You know
exactly why he was installed there. He was installed there
to become the communists weapon against you, your country and

(05:35):
your values. And sadly, mister or whatever his dumb name is,
he's not alone, He's he's common. Now. Their judges, their
das their FBI agents. Speaking of January sixth, do you
remember all this? That attack?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
That siege was criminal behavior, plain and simple, and behavior
that we the FBI view as domestic terrorism.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
In the FBI's view, the top domestic violent extremist threat
comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those
who advocate it for the superiority of the white race.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Domestic violent extremism is the most acute threat, terrorism related
threat that we are seeing to our homeland. And as
President Biden so powerfully put it, words do matter. Leadership matters.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens
the very foundations of our republic. No matter what the
white supremacists and the extremists say.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
What did they do as soon as they took power
last time? What did they do? Well? We know from
this SPLC, the Southern Poverty Laws Center indictment. We know
that we had the FBI's Domestic Terror pro Gram staffed
full of communists who hate you, who hate your DUTs.
We know now from documents that are being released, that

(07:08):
we had people at the DOJ, people at the FBI
who declared war on you in your church. Remember you do,
remember right, that little FBI whistleblower thing where we found
out the Richmond Field Office, which is of course only
one of many, but we found out the Richmond Field
Office had an intent to infiltrate the Catholic Church. This

(07:33):
is what communists do when they take over the legalized
violence of a country. By the way, Acting Attorney General
Todd Blant says, this whole anti Christian biased thing, don't
think it was just one guy.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Is this just rogue prosecutors, a rogue FBI office, or
was it a systematic culture within the Department of Justice
and even beyond the Department of Justice Under the last
administration to target Christians, to target god fearing Americans. And
what we found in that varies deep substantial report is
it was much more than just a rogue agent. It

(08:06):
was much more than just a field office or a prosecutor.
It was actually a systematic culture issue at the Department
of Justice, to target Christians, to target people based upon
their religious beliefs. Extraordinarily disappointing. But President Trump said on
day one that this was going to change, and I'm
happy to report that it has changed.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
A systematic issue. The system you see, and these systematic
issues didn't They don't happen by accident. This was always
the intent. When you stuff the DOJ, the FBI, the
judicial bench, when you stuff it full of committed communists, activists,
you stuff those people in there because you understand they

(08:50):
will use the power of their office to wage war
on your political enemies. I want you to watch this
guy on MS. Now, look at this guy.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
Of no doubt that Trump is going to issue a
blanket pardon for every single person at the executive branch.
But there are professional consequences. Todd blanch should remember that
John Eastman, the intellectual architect of Donald Trump's what I
will refer to with a bit of prediction. The intellectual
architect of Donald Trump's first attempt to carry out a

(09:22):
electoral coup was recently disbarred and the appeal of his
dispartment was denied. So Todd Blanche should watch his step
alongs already.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Suffering the consequences rejected by the met Club.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
The Metropolitan Club here in Washington. It's quite a threat.
You know what that guy used to do for a living.
You know where he used to work. He used to
work at the f B. I remember what James Comey said,
this little warning on TV.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
I know republic these days aren't big in thinking about
principle or precedent. They're going to be deeply sorry that
that disappears, because someday there'll be a Democratic president and
there'll be investigations of Republican officeholders. If I'm them, I
sure would want these career people in place making sure
that it's done in the right way.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Democrats aren't shy about it. They're talking about it all
the time, they're campaigning on it. It's not like they
do these things in secret. They'll stare right in the
camera and they'll say over and over and over again,
when we take power back, we're coming for our political opposition.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
It's not about what a democratic Department of Justice will
do against Republicans. It's about trying to re establish the
rule of law. Will there be prosecutions, I certainly hope
there will be prosecutions of anybody who is engaged in
criminal acts against the United States and against corruption. But
we can't just get into a cycle of political vengeance.
That's playing the game of the liars and the hypocrites

(11:06):
and the authoritarians.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
There are so many different corrupt sick offhants within the
Trump administration, including but not limited to, within the Department
of Justice. Now, these people don't have immunity, and the
reality is the statue of limitations is five years and
there will be accountability with the next administration, if not
before when Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
They say it all the time. Just a little reminder,
I thought would be helpful of what the stakes are
if we lose upcoming elections. Now, speaking of those upcoming elections,
Cliff Maloney is on the ground trying to figure out
how do we win these upcoming elections. We have a
big one coming up in the midterms, and I'm curious
how we're looking right now and what we need to

(11:55):
do to make sure those dirty communists don't come back
to power. We will discuss this with if in a moment.
Before we discuss that with him, I want you to
have the energy to go out there and knock on
doors and make phone calls. I want you to have
the energy to wake up on a Saturday and say,
what can I do to fight communists in this country?
How do I go grab political powers somewhere? And Chalk

(12:19):
can give you all this with natural herbal supplements. The
finest natural herbal supplements in the world are at Chalk.

percent increase in your T levels in ninety days. You're
about to be better in every possible way. Go to
Chalk dot com, slash Jesse TV. We'll be back. We

(13:04):
have to win elections. It matters. These people who tell
you that, oh, elections don't matter. It's over they're all
ridiculous clowns. Elections matter a lot, but we can't win once.
We have to win again and again and again and
keep the communists out of power. I'm highly invested in
keeping the communists out of power. Joining me now, somebody.

(13:25):
This is what he does for a living, Cliff Maloney.
He wrote a book about it called Run Right. I
don't know how to win elections. It's right there in
a book. Okay, Cliff, we have midterm elections coming up.
Just political history says you're going to face headwinds because
you have power in the midterm elections. Why don't you
talk mid terms with us first? How we look and

(13:46):
how can we do better? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (13:49):
Well, look, I think the first thing is, you know,
people have to understand that, Yes, of course we're not
supposed to do good. But I think the biggest problem
we have right now is gas prices. Right, And I'm
not here to tell you the exact solution to that,
but I'm telling you, based on the numbers, if we
want to have a shot at keep in the US House,
you know we're going to have to see that gas
price come down. Outside of that, Jesse, the biggest thing
that needs to happen is there has to be this

(14:10):
shift now. It started in.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Twenty twenty four.

Speaker 10 (14:13):
Charlie Kirk really pushed this where the consultants don't understand
it because of the rule changes. It is not an
election day any longer. These are election seasons. I've been
on your show before, I've talked about this. We need
folks to start adapting to understanding. We have to turn
out as many Republicans as possible and not focus all
of our time on the persuadable middles. That's the kral

(14:36):
Rope messaging strategy of two thousand and four. It's a
different time and we need the Republicans to adapt to that.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
All right, how do we do that? How do how
do I normal citizen? How do I get more people
to turn out? Because for most people they don't understand
what that means, even people watching right now. We show up,
we vote. We just had local elections here. I showed up,
I voted, and yes, of course I texted friends and
things like that. But what does that mean? How do
we do it? What do we need to do?

Speaker 10 (15:04):
Yeah, I mean I think look in a lot of
these states, you know, Pennsylvania, where I spend a lot
of time. There's nine hundred thousand what we call Republicans
that are registered to vote that are not expected to
vote in twenty twenty six. So as much as it
sounds like it's the same old adage, it is Jesse.
You got to talk to a lot of your friends,
a lot of your family. If you're an individual and
there's not working with an organization or a committee or

(15:25):
a group, you got to talk to these folks that
are not usually voting, because that is it. If we
get blue collar folks to come out and vote, they're
not going to vote for the communists, right, They're going
to vote Republicans. Some of the Republicans that we don't
even like because they don't do anything, they have no spine.
But at the end of the day, that's what's got
to happen, is you have to be able to talk
to those individuals that are normal, that are trying to

(15:46):
pay their mortgage, they're taking their kids to baseball practice,
but they're not voting. Those are the people we have
to engage, and I think everybody is to do that. Campaigns,
the party, different individuals, patriots. We've got to get the
people unlikely to vote to come out and vote and
motivate them to do so.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
How do Democrats do this? And I ask, let me clarify,
this is a totally loaded question. I've watched all these
special elections that have been going on to see how
we've been faring, and we've been getting our teeth kicked
out of our face in these special elections recently. Why
why are they able to turn their people out and
we just are not well.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
Number One, they have the best motivator in the history
of politics, probably over the last century, and that is
Trump Arrangement syndrome. I mean it is if you look
at the numbers, what motivates Democrats is a fear of
Donald Trump and a very simple message that is, you
have to vote in order to stop Donald Trump and
his fascist agenda. That's what they have going for them.
Number Two, they don't ever go home. Let me make

(16:49):
this very clear for your viewers out there. There is
no off here on the left. Look at the three
congressional districts in Pennsylvania. We want them all by less
than five percent. What are the Democrats? They took three
weeks off and they were back on TV and back
on the ground. That's in December of twenty twenty four,
where Republicans we just hang out and say, hey, we'll

(17:11):
be back in August of twenty twenty six, two years later.
That's the mentality, that's the shift that has to happen.
But that's why Democrats are dominating. They're in these special elections.
They're on the ground for five months with one hundred
full time people for a state Senate race. They have
endless money. Their organizations don't ever stop spending it, but
they never send their people home. And by the way, Jesse,

(17:32):
this is not the DNC, this is not the Democrats
state committees. Okay, These are five to one C four
organizations where donations are not reported publicly and they go
out they hire these people. These are W twos. You
want to talk about the No King's protest. Where do
you think this money's coming from. It's the five oh
one C fours that have dark money. They've got W

(17:52):
two employees, they work full time, they do whatever the
heck the Democrats need them to do, and they never
go home.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
All right, So let me ask a question that you
just told me you don't know the answer to which
means I shouldn't ask it. But I'm gonna anyway, where's
the money coming from? I realized we don't know. We
can't officially know, obviously, but that is as soon as
you mentioned one hundred full time people, I'm immediately doing
payroll in my head and I'm thinking about the gargantu
un amount of money that would cost. And that's one
state race. They're doing this all across the United States

(18:21):
of America. This is this has got to be a
billion dollars, billions of dollars. Cliff, that sounds like nation
state money to me.

Speaker 10 (18:29):
Billions is absolutely correct. Now, the one silver lining we
have here are the cuts that happened through USAID. We
think a lot of that was going to these nonprofits,
these NGOs, and it was funneling because when you go
nonprofit to nonprofit, you're not really reporting those things, or
at least you're not seeing who the original donors were,
and it's not public. But look at Soros, look at

(18:50):
the Tides Foundation, the Ford Foundation, there are a bunch
of these groups. They're all under this umbrella that we
call Arabella. It's the Arabella Advisors. This is what the
Left organizes under, and they funnel all the money from
the mega donors to these organizations. But Jesse, your math
is correct. We're talking about billions and billions of dollars.

(19:10):
But I'm hoping that some of these USAID cuts and
some of the fraud that's been exposed is going to
make people slow down and not have the ability to
pay off all these left wing activists. We'll find out
once we get to midterms.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Do they have more rich people than we do? Because
you wouldn't think it if you're just thinking about politics
and a base nature. But clearly it seems like people
someone's writing bigger checks to them than they are to us. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (19:36):
Well, here's what I found in my time on the
ground and kind of seeing who the players are. The
problems Republicans have is we're not offering much in terms
of handouts. We're not offering much to the lobbyists or
to the special interests, at least not the patriots that
run as Republicans, right. And that's a problem because if
you're a Democrat and government is the answer to all
of your problems, well, then you can go to the
special interests and say, hey, give me money, and then

(19:59):
the budget make sure that we're funneling cash your way,
and then it becomes his vicious cycle. So they're almost
paying the politician through donations to then make sure they're included.
They get their carve out, and it just keeps happening
and keeps happening. This is why you don't ever see
action even from John Thune or Mike Johnson, because they
need to be part of that action.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Right.

Speaker 10 (20:18):
This is the swamp doing what it does to protect
all the special interest So that is the problem we have. No,
they don't have more rich people, but they have more
that they offer through political corruption than we do because
we run on try and do shrink government, not expanding.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
His book is run right, go buy and figure out
how to win elections. Cliff, Thank you brother, I appreciate
you very much. All Right, what is actually happening? Any
wrong with oil? The Iranian oil wells, the Strait of Hormuz?
No propaganda, what's the actual what's going on on the ground.
Talk to Ryan McBeth about that. He is a wealth

(20:58):
of information on this stuff. You're going to be so
much smarter and so am I. Before we get to that,
let me give you a good night's sleep, a cup
of hot chocolate. What's better than that? I was just
at breakfast yesterday with my inlaws. My mother in law
got a big old cup of hot chocolate whipped cream
on it. Everyone loves hot chocolate. Well, what if you
could have a cup of hot chocolate before bed that

(21:19):
had a bunch of natural things in it that'll have
you drift off to sleep like a little bitty baby.
That's dream better from Beam. It's delicious, it's drug free,
all natural stuff in there. You just kind of drift
off to sleep. And when you wake up in the morning,
instead of having sandpaper eyes and thinking to yourself, this

(21:39):
day's gonna suck. When you wake up in the morning,
you feel refreshed and ready to go. Go find out
what I'm talking about at shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly,
we'll be back all right. Everybody has an opinion on
Iran policy's amazingly complicated anyway, And because there's so many

(22:04):
different people lying about every different aspect of every kind
of foreign policy, it's so hard to get actual information.
What's happening, what's not happening, Our things looking, how long
things are gonna get Let's talk to Ryan about this.
Joining me now, Ryan McBeth, open source intelligence analyst, His substack,
Ryan mcbethsubstack dot com. Well worth your time, all right, Ryan, Iran,

(22:28):
that's set aside all the propaganda. How are things going?
How much longer is this going to go on? Just
the show is yours? What's happening?

Speaker 11 (22:37):
Well, that's that's a tough one. You know, if I
hit a crystal ball, I would be on a boat
making p Dady look like he was homish. Right, So
I can't really give you a timeline of how long
this can go on, but I can tell you this.
With the blockade, what you're seeing is iron losing between
four hundred and fifty to five hundred million dollars a day,

(23:00):
and that would be tough for any country to absorb.
So you may have a system where people aren't getting
paid the IRGC might not be getting paid on time.
You could have people printing money, trying to put them
in armored cars, sending out cash because their banking system
was disrupted by Coalition attacks. So the biggest issue facing

(23:23):
Iran is they're going to run out of places to
put oil. And that's a really big deal because when
you stop drilling for oil and when you shut down
a well, apparently that oil sinks back down to the well.
It makes it a lot harder to open. You have
to use special chemicals and so on to get that
well back open. So Iron is running out of choices.

(23:49):
So they could theoretically burn that oil, but there's a
lot There's about ten barrels of water in one barrel
of oil, so you got to get the water out
before you can even earn the oil. Or maybe somehow
build a large clay reservoir where they can keep that
oil out in the open. I mean, none of these
options are good, but probably the next two to three weeks,

(24:12):
Iran is going to physically run out of oil storage space,
and then it has to choose do we make some
sort of concessions to the United States to let our
tankers back out into the Gulf, or do we just
shut down these wells and possibly have a much harder
time reopening them when this conflict is finished. So I've

(24:36):
often said in the military, you want to give your
adversary problem or dilemmas, not problems. The problem has a solution,
one or more solutions. A dilemma has two or more solutions,
all of which are equally bad. So if Iran comes
to the peace table, and comes to some sort of agreement,

(24:57):
they would almost certainly lose their nuclear ambitions. But if
they don't, they don't have an economy in which they
can build.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Their nuclear arsenal.

Speaker 11 (25:08):
So there's two bad choices that Aron is facing right now.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
All right, I have a laundry list of questions I
want to ask you now from that little bit there. Now.
First of all, obviously, when you mentioned the financial losses,
that's staggering. I realize it's not a tiny country, but
they're not the United States of America. That these are unbelievable,
and as you mentioned, unsustainable losses. However, that's a logical
way of looking at it. What do we do if

(25:37):
they just don't submit, because people run into this before militarily,
a country just doesn't say I give up. What do
we do from there? Or what happens to them from there?
Do we sit back? Is there a revolution? What happens
from there?

Speaker 11 (25:52):
Well, ideally there should be some sort of revolution. We
haven't really touched the Arteesh, which is, for lack of
a better Termavilian Army of Iran. I think the hope
always was that the Iranian people would rise up and
defeat the regime and the Arteesh might be a part
of that, since a lot of young men are drafted

(26:12):
into the Arteesh and the Arteesh isn't particularly religious. Most
Iranians are Muslim, the same way most Christians are Christmas
and Easter Christians. The IRGC, they are the true believers.
They are the ones who are trying to fulfill the
coming of the Mahdi, which is this prophet like figure

(26:34):
that will join with Jesus at the end of the
world and go and defeat the Antichrist and then have
peace on earth. I believe either nine or nineteen years
before the final judgment. And the IRGC people, they kind
of want to move this thing along now. When it
comes to what we can do, we can maintain a

(26:56):
blockade against Iran theoretically indefinitely. We will have to swap
out ships as they go back to port for refit
and having crew rotation, but we can keep this up
far longer than Iran can hold out. So the ideal
situation is that Iran has some sort of revolution where
the people just can't stand this anymore. The less ideal

(27:20):
solution is a peace treaty where Iron comes to the
table they say, you know what, we will give up
our nuclear weapons. We're gonna stop being jerks around the
Sea of Hormuz, we're gonna stop building long range missiles.
And from that then we have inspectors and so on
to make sure they're for filling their end of the bargain,
and sanctions that snap back into place if they decide

(27:41):
they don't want to play ball.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
All right, now, let's shift to something else. You mentioned
these oil wells. It's not a light switch where you
can just flip it on and off. If they stop pumping.
There are consequences there where you're not gonna get it
going again, or it's going to take you a while.
That brings me to the oil flow of the entire planet.
What are the consequences economic consequences to all of planet

(28:09):
Earth if Iranian oil gets taken off the market? Are
they significant?

Speaker 10 (28:14):
It?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Is it nothing? What is it?

Speaker 11 (28:17):
Well? I believe ninety percent of Iran's oil went to China.
The big issue right now is that there are a
lot of tankers that are inside Arabia uaa guitar, and
they are afraid to transit. The straight of Horror moves
not because it's mined. I actually don't believe the strait

(28:37):
is mine. But you don't need a mine to make
a minefield. You just have to make people scared that
their ship could run into a mine. And one of
the things I've often said is if I offered you
a ninety five percent chance at winning a million dollars
but a five percent chance that you owe me ten thousand,

(28:57):
you'd probably take that bet right, But a tanker owner
never would. And the reason is actually very simple. I'd
likened this to Uber drivers. If you are an Uber
driver and you get into a car accident, yeah, your
insurance company will pay to replace your car, but you
lose out on all the revenue that you could have

(29:19):
earned had you been driving for Uber in that time.
It takes the insurance company to replace your car. If
you are the owner of a container ship or an
oil tanker, you want a zero percent chance of being
hit by a missile or a drone or a mine,
because then if your ship sinks, you will lose out

(29:42):
on all the revenue that you would have gained had
that ship still been afloat and making deliveries. So to
a lot of people who own tankers, it's just cheaper
to keep those tankers in the Gulf waiting for any
kind of opportunity for removes to reopen to general track.
Now I can tell you this when it comes to

(30:05):
the world, we're really thinking about China because I think
ninety percent of Iron's oil went directly to China, So
we're talking Chinese gas prices are at four sixteen a gallon,
pretty expensive. It's it's down a little bit from last month,
but up significantly from what it was back in February. Now,

(30:28):
the rest of the world is suffering from a lack
of oil coming from the Persian Gulf. That is an issue.
I believe in Europe it's up to seven dollars and
eighty eight cents a gallon. Oh yes, in Europe and
in China they priced it per the leader, but I
altered this for an American audience, and we understand per gallon.
I believe in the Netherlands it's something like eleven dollars

(30:49):
a gallon. It's extremely expensive there. But here's the deal here.
If we can successfully patrol and use maritime surveys, aircraft
and ships to successfully move vehicles, move ships through the
straight of horror mouves, and we still keep the blockade

(31:09):
of Iran on then we have people transitting the straight
the rest of the world economy is fine and Iran
gets to suffer. Now that is not something that is
of little consequence to Iran. Iran watches their neighbors continue
to get rich and meanwhile they can't pay their bills.
So that is certainly something that we can do. It

(31:32):
just takes time to put all the pieces into place.
The United States has a lack of escort ships. This
has been a big problem since two thousand and six
when we eliminated the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate from
our naval arsenal and we replaced it with the LCS
of the Latoral combat shit, which didn't quite work the

(31:55):
way we expected it to work. And of course our
new Constellation class frigates, those were held up in manufacturing
and eventually canceled. And now we're creating a new frigate
that's based off of the Legend class Coastguard Cutter, but
that's gonna take take a couple of years. So we

(32:16):
do have a lack of ships that can escort, which
is one of the reasons that's so important that Europe
gets involved in these missions. We can scrape together enough assets,
but it's gonna take some time to get that done,
and it's gonna take a lot of coordination between ships,
between maritime patrol aircraft, between helicopters that we're using, like

(32:38):
the apaches that destroyed six or seven Iranian speedboats the
other day. And also we have to worry about unmanned
surface vehicles, which are essentially drone boats. So those are
really hard to spot, so we need to come up
with countermeasures against them.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Right, I could have you on for another ten minutes,
spend amount of time. That was wonderful. Thank you, brother,
I appreciate you so much. You'll check out the men's
substat What a mess, you know, paying twenty thirty percent interest.
That's a mess is that you you have this high
interest debt, you own a home. You have a solution.

(33:24):
I take that back. American Financing, in collaboration with you,
has a solution. This is what they do. You have
a home, you have high interest debt, You have a
way out. Call them and hear how they can help you.
Don't sit and burn twenty thirty percent interest. That's lighting

(33:45):
your money on fire. And by the way, it's not insurmountable.
I know that's how it feels when you're paying that
I'll never get out. I'm making the minimum pay. I
know that's how that feels. That's not true at all.
Get a hold of American Financing and find out how
they can help. They they are your exit strategy. I'll
put it to you that way eight six six eight
nine to one two eight two one or American Financing

(34:09):
dot net slash Jesse, We'll be back well. In ugly News,
the United Kingdom just raised its terror threat level to severe,
and if you dig into the details of it, here's

(34:31):
part of the quote. It's driven by an increase in
the broader Islamist an extreme right wing terrorists threat from
individuals in small groups. I am very curious to find
out which right wingers might be responsible for these things.
Joining me now, Charles Cornishdale, author of the wonderful book

(34:52):
The Last Men. Hey, Charles, maybe you can enlighten us
since you're over there, which right wingers have been committing
acts of terror?

Speaker 12 (35:00):
Look, your guess is as good as mine, Jesse. I
actually I don't know. But what I do know is
that this is something that the British government does. It
does this a lot. Whenever there's a terror attack, or
there's a threat of a terror attack, or there's an
opportunity to persecute genuine right wingers in the UK, then

(35:22):
the British government takes it. And you know, we've seen
in recent weeks we've seen attacks on Jewish people and
synagogues in the UK, and that's being used as an
excuse to go after the right wing again because among
other things, you know, the Labor government is worried that
it is going to take a drubbing from reform in

(35:46):
the local elections and that it will probably lose a
general election whenever that takes place to reform as well.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Is it going to take a drubbing? Are the people
over there just sick and tired of this mass migration
of barbarians, of all the rape and the fire, Are
they just is the boiling point here?

Speaker 12 (36:07):
Well, I mean look two years ago then we had
two summers ago, then we had you know, an extraordinary
series of riots mass unrest across the UK because of
the government's policy of housing migrants, illegal migrants in hotels,

(36:29):
in residential buildings in local communities. The migrants were going
out into the local communities they're being allowed out, and
they were committing serious crimes, and especially serious sexual crimes
against young women, and people had enough. I mean, what
actually precipitated the riots was the murder actual Rude Bucana,

(36:52):
the son of ruand and migrants. A teenage boy went
into a dance class with a knife and just started
stabbing little girls. He killed I think I think it
was three, might have been six, but he stabbed over
a dozen young girls violently, and that triggered a wave

(37:13):
of unrest. So, I mean, people are very very angry Jesse.
People are definitely very very angry. It's hard to tell, though,
exactly when people are going to kick off. I mean,
what I think it takes is a trigger. And the
actual rule of Bucana, the murders that was that was
the trigger. And we're in a situation really where a

(37:35):
trigger could happen at any point. You know, a migrant
could commit some heinous crime and then you know the
country could be engulfed in flames. It really does feel
like that.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Have you and I'm assuming the answer to this question
is yes, But if you've seen seen the change in
your country so now here in the United States of America.
There are so many parts of this country that they
don't look at all like they used to. You walk
around and it's a dirty crap hole, nobody speaks English,
Foreigners everywhere litter, it feels unsafe. And it wasn't like that.

(38:07):
It seems like it was yesterday. It wasn't like that,
But it's like that now. I'm assuming it's like that
over there.

Speaker 12 (38:13):
Absolutely, I mean certainly. I mean London has changed enormously.
You know the first time I went back to London
after the pandemic, so you know, I went up to
London I think something like twenty nineteen the pandemic happened,
and then I didn't go back to London until I
think it was twenty twenty three actually, and I was shocked.

(38:33):
I was really shocked at the change. The change was
immediately visible. It was visible actually as soon as you
hailed a taxi, because every single taxi seemed to be
being driven by, you know, a non Londoner, a non
English person, so that was very noticeable. And there were

(38:53):
just large, you know, crowds of people sub Saharan Africans
kind of milling around, not really doing anything, kind of
loitering in the streets. But it's actually gone far beyond
London now. And you know, once upon a time one
of the benefits of living in the countryside was that
you could escape the effects of demographic change. You know,

(39:14):
if you lived in in a rural part of England
like I do, you wouldn't see it. You know, it
was still England for all intents and purposes. But actually
now even small towns in rural areas, even villages, you're
starting to see starting to see demographic change. And it's
it's quite shocking. You know, You'll go to a local
town and there there's an African woman carrying her shopping

(39:38):
on her head. It's it's impossible to ignore.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Now, are they still arresting people for Facebook posts over there?
Because there was a lot of that going on. Please
don't what they've rained that in?

Speaker 12 (39:51):
Well, I mean, I know, I don't think they have.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
I mean.

Speaker 12 (39:56):
One of the good things actually that the Trump administration
has done is made freedom of speech a central plank
of its foreign policy, and especially of its foreign policy
with regard to Europe, because you know, bad things are
happening across Europe with regard to freedom of speech. You know,
they've been clamped downs, not just in Britain but across

(40:16):
the EU. I mean, freedom of speech is considered a
real threat to the ruling order in Europe and the
Trump administration, you know, the Munich Security Conference, first JD
Vance and then in a slightly more conciliatory way this
year with Marco Rubio, you know, really kind of threw
down the gauntlet to Europe and said, you've got to
stop doing this. You know, this is harming you, it's

(40:39):
harming our relationship. You know, you're betraying your values, You're
betraying you know, the things that made Europe a great civilization.
But it does still seem to be going on, as
far as I can tell. You do still hear on
a kind of weekly basis some kind of horror story
of you know, somebody who's been arrested maybe for a

(41:00):
Facebook post or a tweet or something. No, I don't
think it's getting better. I mean, I think the government
targets in particular working class people because they're the kind
of people who actually go out and burn stuff basically,
you know, I mean the riots and the unrest that
took place, that was working class people, that was ordinary,

(41:24):
hard working Brits not middle class Brits, working Brits, and
they're the ones that the government particularly targets. I think
online doesn't care so much about middle class Brits because
they're not quite as likely to go out and actually
do something when push comes to shove. But yeah, I mean,
the situation here is still bad. It's definitely still bad.

(41:45):
It hasn't changed, it hasn't got better. And I think obviously,
you know, if the Right doesn't win the general election
when it comes, could come this year, could come next year,
anytime up to twenty twenty nine. If the Right doesn't win,
then I think there will be a real clampdown, a
real clampdown after that.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
God bless you guys. Charles hanging in there, brother. All right,
we have a very very special light in the mood.
Next ola como stas minombre. I think forget how to

(42:29):
say that. Whatever. I'm Jesse and it's sinco to mile
and I have to wish you a happy cinco de myle,
especially to all the Mexicans watching this right now. And
since it's lightened the mood time, I thought I would
lighten your mood with the top menu items at one
of my favorite restaurants Mexican restaurants anyway. Taco Bell. First,

(42:50):
one that you've been sleeping on, and you have been
sleeping on it. The cheesy roll up. Now, I know
what you're thinking. That's kind of a children's order. It
would be, except you can add chicken to the cheesy
roll up. When you add the chicken to it, it
actually becomes the chicken mexim out they used to have
on the menu. I usually get three or four, just

(43:10):
trying to keep my protein numbers up. Number two, the
cheesy Gordida crunch, always a winner, always sloppy. Make sure
you get extra spicy ranch on it, if it's done right,
if the cordita is fresh, top notch. And finally, numero uno,
as they say in Mexico, Nacho's bell grande. Now it's

(43:33):
Taco Bell. So you gotta be careful when you're adding
things or taking things away, because you understand the person
who's making your food is probably mentally challenged. You want
to lose the sour cream because sour cream is disgusting.
You sit down. Nacho's Bell grande, top notch. When as

(43:54):
tart as everybody, oh oh,
