Trump, Iran & War: What Are We Doing?
(00:01.678)
Confused and bewildered with Trump and Iran. I got, I hope I’m wrong. I hope my instincts are wrong. I say this again, again, again, 25 years on air prior to that, doing guest appearances. Um, when I’m right on things, and again, we’ve made major calls, people end up getting hurt and there’s issues. I don’t like it. I don’t like being right from the things that we call because.
Bad stuff is gonna happen. I can’t make heads or tails out of this. Nobody can, quite frankly. There’s no logic or real reason for what’s going on. be honest, my frame of reference, I’m Gen X. I vaguely remember the Vietnam War, but I do remember a man that used to to our house and do work with some.
friend of the family’s the issues that he had to come in Vietnam. I was a kid like my parents talking about that. I remember clearly the rah rah brought up to Operation Desert Storm and getting everyone on board with that. What did we gain from that? And we can go on and on and on. We all know we all know I’ve said this time and time again. What exactly have we won? Country.
year, you’re here. One the reasons why I voted for Donald Trump is he was supposed to be a pacemaker, supposed to keep us out of foreign entanglements, not going off all over the globe to kill monsters, which again, our founders discussed. I don’t know why. Maybe, maybe, maybe this time we’re not being lied to.
maybe this time there was a legitimate reason for taking out these facilities. I don’t know.
(02:07.31)
I couldn’t tell you. couldn’t tell you because again, none of this makes any sense whatsoever. You take a look at people. Yeah, I’m going to share with you actually some statements. this is, uh, it’s interesting at this point in time, you’re talking, you know, true maga there. talk about Marjorie Taylor green coming out. And again, she’s my generation. She’s generation X.
And she’s too blue-mega, I don’t agree with her on many different things. And she says, I don’t know anyone in America who’s been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I do know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal legal aliens, murdered by cartel and Chinese fentanyl drugs. Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact. However, America has not drunk or buster on the cartels, sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive.
cartel poisonous drug operations are going to war against the cartels international terrorist networks. Neopon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses going to war in countries most Americans have never seen and can’t find on a map. But never find the courage to go to war against the actual terrorists who actually do kill Americans, invade our land and make billions doing it every day, year after year. Is she wrong on that?
I don’t know how this one is going to play out. don’t know if both this tends to happen when it comes to America’s involvement in foreign entanglements. Both the donkeys and elephants get on the same page for a period of time. Maybe that’ll happen this time. It probably will for a period of time until they can find some sort of political reason or if something goes haywire wrong and then they can take advantage of that politically.
or whatever it may be, you know how these people operate. Again, it’s all about basically boxing people out, just for position politically. Never what’s best for us, never what’s best for the country. The trillions of dollars that we’ve spent, trillions of dollars since 2001 in all these foreign entanglements. Take a look at our hollowed out cities. Take a look at how expensive
(04:34.026)
It is for young kids here in America, all the money we’ve had to print, what the cost of a median price home is here in this country, what the food costs here in this country. I’m out of the country right now. I can walk into a grocery store on an island. Where certain foods are made here, but a lot of the stuff has to be shipped in by boat and how much less they pay for food.
than we do, where I can go out and get a nice dinner here. And it’s, it’s cheaper than going to a Chipotle back in the United States. That is the American reality. You’re going to rah rah this. Very interesting to watch every single influencer. There’s been over, which are like comportionists in the circus, bending over backward, trying to back.
Donald Trump, all of sudden he’s doing the right thing. Go to his tweets, going after Obama, being Obama was a president, Obama’s gonna want a bomb, Iran, do this and distract from that. It’s all laid out there. I mean, you could spend an entire day going through all, like I said, all of the contortionists out there. What is it? What is it with this?
this country and our obsession or the leadership, the obsession with going into all of these different places. At this point in time, we’re hearing different things. I’m here in Europe and I’m going through, on my vacation watching French TV, German TV, because they have them all on here and seeing what they have to say.
in regards to the whether or not these strikes were successful or not, whether or not this this fuel the uranium, the enriched uranium had been moved ahead of time. And, the latest today, the latest today, you just had this past weekend, you had headset. Vance. Rubio going out on the Sunday morning talkers.
(06:57.112)
telling everybody that this is not regime change. And here we get Donald Trump. 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? Miga.
(07:18.612)
Did you hope for this?
I certainly didn’t. I certainly didn’t. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I searched yesterday. I’m that there are not sleeper cells in the United States. the political calculus when it comes to that, because God forbid there’s a terrorist attack in
the United States. God forbid there was a terrorist attack in the United States. You know what’s going to happen? They’re going to go, you know, all these terrorists, sleeper cells got in under Biden. There was a terrorist attack yesterday in Syria. Syria, yeah, you began, I don’t know if they’re reporting this in the United States. almost, I don’t even watch it. Yeah, something that works that much anymore. Yeah, the Greek leader was blown to smithereens.
25, 30 people killed, 60 injured there. Just have something to do with that. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know if this is what’s gonna be happening around the globe. Also, as someone who is, again, a big believer in our constitution, my libertarian leanings, we have a process in this country.
We’re supposed to have a process in this country. Take a look at the Constitution. Presidents aren’t, throw out, not supposed to be able to just go to war and start bombing countries without congressional authorization. Yes, the president is the commander in chief, the commander in chief can’t declare war. You know the last time we declared war? I mean, that’s just World War II, officially declared.
(09:16.526)
war. If the founders were right, this was supposed to be deliberated in the Falls of St. Louis.
(09:29.203)
Maybe, I’m hoping, I’m praying that my instincts are wrong. I hope that my instincts are wrong. I’m hoping, I’m praying that hopefully cooler heads will prevail and Iran is, military is then decimated to a degree where they’ll come.
to the table where they will not start striking bases within the Middle East, because we’ve got plenty of them there. And they’re most certainly within range of their missiles. But maybe they’ll set off a strike and it’ll be one of those most for show strikes like they did on our Iraqi base after Suleiman was taken out on the last Trump administration. I don’t know. I don’t know.
But whenever these things started, you know, if you talk, I talked about this in terms of managing money, you never let risk lead to ruin. My sentiments, my sentiments right now are that what do we gain? What do we gain? Trump kind of always talks about America first. What exactly, what exactly do we have?
the gain from this. And also you want to give a juxtaposition of what we could possibly lose. You think about loss, you think about things spiraling out of control, like can happen very easily. Does this make sense? I don’t know. At this point, to be honest with it doesn’t to me. And I know I’m probably going to get a hundred
million emails in there, I can’t get a nuke. Again, and this for a long period of time, we can pull this again and again and again. And Iran is around the corner from a nuke and they’re going to have a nuke and all these various different things. Now, now we’re hearing that, you know, North Korea, North Korea is interested in supplying.
(11:47.512)
supplying Iran with nukes. Again, we try not to let risk lead to ruin. And I hope and pray that this some way shaped matter of form, cooler heads will prevail. And my instincts, my instincts, quite frankly, are telling me otherwise. Watchdog on Wallstreet.com.
