As to President Trump, see this through. These guys are on their back foot, Mr. President. You have been brilliant in concept and execution. And to our allies throughout the world who depend on the straight of our moves more than we do, get off your ass and help us. Trump [00:00:17] has been brilliant in concept and execution. Just no notes, this is going great. I love paying more. In fact, if we could get gas to $10 a gallon, that would really remove a lot of the math and the change situation, just simplifies life. So yeah, according to Lindsey Graham, [00:00:36] everything is going the way that it should. And I'm being sarcastic there, but I honestly think in practice things are pretty much going the way that Lindsey Graham wants. We're edging ever closer back to war. And I mean that in terms of movement towards it, but I have a feeling he is literally edging over the possibility that hostilities will begin again. So that's [00:00:55] great for him. It's possible that the justification for further Israeli incursions into Lebanon could soon be coming. uh Oil companies are making banger profits because Brent crude's up above 112 as of last time I checked it. And so, he's being stupid, but also kind of wily because [00:01:14] this is going well for the bloodthirsty lunatics. Now he's saying more people need to come in and bail us out of this war, which is strange because it's been so great in terms of concept and execution. I don't know why we need so much help. But he is at least moderating his views [00:01:30] a bit on some of the further escalation that could come. Obviously, I was very worried for a number of weeks that we were going to take Karg Island, land ground troops, that sort of thing. We've had very little of that, which is a good thing. I love to be wrong about that sort of prediction. And it seems like even Lindsey Graham is backing off the whole Carg Island [00:01:48] thing just a little bit. Here's a comparison of what he had been saying and what he's saying now. Here's what I tell President Trump, keep it up for a few more weeks. Take Carg Island where all of the resources they have to produce oil, control that island, let this regime down a vine. I'm not a real advocate of taking Carg Island. I think we ought to tell the Iranians [00:02:07] we will destroy it from the air. that will accomplish the mission I have in mind, which means they can never regenerate anytime soon to become the largest state sponsor of terrorism and their nuclear program's been obliterated. We're close to victory. We're close to victory, which [00:02:25] is, I feel, is that traitorous talk from Lindsey Graham? We're close to victory? We've victoried like eight weeks ago, buddy, okay? We've victoried at least once a week since then. I can't- Listen to Pete Hegson do a speech without hearing about capital V victory and now we're only close [00:02:41] to victory. He needs a little time in one of those reeducation camps. So anyway, look, it is good that he doesn't want us to land troops on Karg Island. That's good, doesn't mean it's not going to happen. And this could just be a squirrel to get us to look away and then they land the troops, I don't know. But he also says, wouldn't it be awesome if we just [00:02:58] annihilated the island? We just took it out, took off all the oil infrastructure. Forget oil prices ever going down again. They'll destroy Oman and the UAE and maybe Saudi Arabia as well and we'll destroy them and there will be no infrastructure across the region. And gas [00:03:15] prices will stay artificially high for a really long time. And look as a person that wants us to speed run the electrification of America and our transportation infrastructure, there's a little bit of a silver lining to that. But boy, does it come with some costs in the short term. To us, of course, again, not to the oil executives, they are making amazing profits. [00:03:36] They're doing quite well, and I'm sure that that is not lost on Lindsey Graham. None of this has to do with you or your family, since constituency is a handful of fossil fuel CEOs and one Benjamin Netanyahu. Those are the only people that matter in literally any of this. [00:03:52] And so, also by, we're not going to. play more video of him. But one of the things that he wanted to do there, he's sort of again backing off of us sending in fighters on the ground. But he is once again saying that we need to send in arms. So he's back on the, we're going [00:04:09] to arm the Iranian people and just send them out to be massacred thing. That we know that that's not going to work. I love the idea of it. I was a big fan of Andor or whatever. In this particular case, I don't think it's wise. And so the least wise man in DC is calling for it. Now, interestingly, evidently, We have been shipping some weapons to the region and [00:04:28] not just for our use. Now not into Iran necessarily, but we supposedly, Trump says that he sent weapons to Kurdish fighters in the region. And then he has no idea what happened to those weapons. According to him, he says, I'm not happy with the delivery of the weapons. I'm [00:04:45] not thrilled with it, but a small amount of weapons were sent and we'll see who has them. But I'm not happy with what happened with the Kurds. The Kurds did not deliver the weapons. That's a thing that we mention deep into this story. Can you imagine if Joe Biden revealed, [00:05:03] yeah, no, I sent some weapons and I don't know what happened with them. I really should have paid extra for a signature upon delivery. What do you mean you don't know? Who handed them over? Where did you hand them over? Did you even know who you were handing them? Did you [00:05:20] just leave them in a field somewhere? And we're probably never going to hear a follow up to that. Those weapons could be in the hands of terrorists. Those weapons could be traveling into Europe right now or something. And we have no idea and Donald Trump does not seem [00:05:36] particularly concerned. Maybe if like, I don't know, maybe if like the handle. nice marble or something, we could get him fired up to give a damn. But for right now, it's just deadly weaponry. What's he going to sweat over that for? Anyway, the Kurds, by the way, say they [00:05:53] didn't get any weapons. So the cover story was that we gave them to the Kurds, but we don't know what they did with them. Now they're saying they didn't even get them. Did we give them to the Ayatollah? I literally don't even know at this point. Anyway, here's what Graham has to say, one little bit of him. So if I were President Trump and I were Israel, I would [00:06:12] load the Iranian people up with weapons so they could go to the streets armed and turn the tide of battle inside Iran. We don't need American boots on the ground. We've got millions of boots on the ground in Iran. They just don't have any weapons. Give them the weapons so [00:06:29] they can rise up like we did to destroy this regime. A Second Amendment solution, I think, would go a long way to ending this war. I'm really torn finally on whether this is an evil, evil scheme that he's trying to hatch or if he's like the dumbest person in the world. [00:06:47] Him throwing in the Second Amendment solution. It's Iran, they don't have the second, it's like a totally different thing, different country, different constitution. What are you talking about? We rose up, are you talking about us attacking Iran or are you referencing like [00:07:04] the revolution? Dude, you weren't involved in that. You think you would have risen up in that case? Do you know who you are? Do you see yourself? Do you listen to yourself speak? And then we'll just give them the weapons. I guess he thinks it's simple to distribute [00:07:21] weapons to civilians. A country of 90 million people, a massive mountainous country. We're just going to drop weapons all over the place. I guess we've been practicing with the Kurds, I suppose. And then they're gonna go out to the streets and take out the regime. No serious [00:07:39] person thinks that that could work. Now, he is very, very dumb. So it's possible that he's just wrong about that. But I will end on this. I don't think that he necessarily is wrong about it. I think he knows exactly what would happen. And I think he feels that if we throw [00:07:58] a couple of AR-15s off into the fields north of Tehran or whatever, And there's a rising up and 100 or 1000 or 50,000 Iranian civilians get massacred. Good PR if you really want to [00:08:16] send ground troops in, if you really want this war to go forever, if you want to make sure that you take out this regime. Think about, my God, we can't let this regime to stay in place. They just massacred all of those people that we were with the best of intentions trying to help. You don't think that he'd be willing? see that through. That is literally the talking [00:08:37] point of the Israeli government and we know that Graham has been in direct contact with them. They know that they would be massacred, but they want them to be massacred. It is again, very Andor by the way. And so I don't think this is case of him being stupid. I think [00:08:52] this is case of him being as evil as it is humanly possible to be.
