WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.879 It's the perfect end to your day. 2 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:13.519 Jesse Kelly on seven to ten worn Jesse Kelly Show. 3 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:22.440 Let's have some fun on a Monday. You have made 4 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.039 it through the weekend, and isn't it so exciting to 5 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.839 start the work week. Of course, we have a great 6 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.800 show planned for you tonight, as we always do on 7 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.000 a Medal of Honor Monday, and that's coming up an 8 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:40.640 hour from now. We're gonna do a little historical rewind 9 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.119 to start the show, because I know everyone has Israel 10 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.039 Iran on their mind. Where are we going? What are 11 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.799 my feelings when the regime change? No regime change? Where's 12 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.560 all this stuff going? The Iranian response, all that and 13 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.719 so much more is coming up in at least the 14 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.560 first hour. It's gonna take us a while to get 15 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.479 through all that, but we're gonna give a little bit 16 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.359 of a historical perspective on those things, and then we're 17 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.200 going to talk about some domestic issues that matter a lot. 18 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.760 Technology is still run by the dirty communists. Members of 19 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.680 Congress like Nancy Pelosi clearly insider trading the state of 20 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:20.200 the Democrat Party. One Blue Area is proving why you 21 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:24.280 must move if you can all that in so much 22 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.480 more coming up tonight on the world famous Jesse Kelly Show. Now, 23 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:35.120 I have email after email after email about Iran. This 24 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.280 guy says, I've become more anti war after nineteen years. 25 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.280 What are your thoughts on this? After a week this 26 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.920 guy says, Boy, Jesse, did you ever nail it? That's 27 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.560 because I told everyone last week that it was coming. 28 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.000 We were going to start dropping bombs. Jesse, your take 29 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.239 on Iran being bombed this weekend was incredible. That's why listen. All. Okay, 30 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.760 so there's a lot, there's a lot on your mind, 31 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.120 and so I'm warning you now the history we're about 32 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:07.879 to do is heading in that direction. Because regime change 33 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.680 is a term that's being thrown around a lot in 34 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.400 various ways. There are a lot of people out there 35 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.639 saying we're not in the regime change business doing that. 36 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.879 It's in a regime change move. This was designed to 37 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.719 degrade and or destroy three nuclear sites related to their 38 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.240 nuclear weaponization ambitions. I don't like the regime, but we're 39 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.000 not into the regime change business here. 40 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.400 Okay, that's pretty clear from the Secretary of State, Pete 41 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:37.719 hagsv came out and said. 42 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.560 This mission has not been about regime change. The President 43 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.800 authorized a precision operation. 44 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.599 Okay, there's been a lot of that talk. Sounds good, 45 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.400 but there's some mixed messaging out there. Of course, Donald 46 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.840 Trump came out social media. This is what he said. 47 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.159 It's not politically correct to use the term regime change, 48 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.879 but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make 49 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.240 Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Okay, 50 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.560 we have several US senators saying this. 51 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.159 We still certainly need to have regime change in Iran. 52 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.520 This is the same regime that's threatened America and Americans. 53 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.639 Time for regime change. 54 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.960 And I believe that this president should be given a 55 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.280 fair amount of leeway. 56 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:20.759 To affect that. 57 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.479 It's time to close the chapter on the Iran and 58 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.599 Iotolin his henchmen. Let's close that chapter soon and start 59 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:29.919 a new chapter in the Mideast, one of tolerance to 60 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.680 hope in peace. 61 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.960 Let's pause everything for a moment, and let's discuss history 62 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.400 in a couple of different ways. Because we're going to 63 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.840 talk about getting into a war while pretending like you 64 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.919 don't want to get into war. We're going to talk 65 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.919 about regime change. We're going to talk about lies, We're 66 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.080 going to approach this whole thing as we have the 67 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.680 entire time, not hysterical, not no war ever ah, and 68 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.199 not kill them all, not God sort them out. I Nope, nope, 69 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.360 I'm not doing that. We're going to approach this soberly, 70 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.080 and we're going to analyze this like adults, you and me. First, 71 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.719 let's go with the regime change aspect of it. Why 72 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.759 is that even a thing? Well, let's do some history. 73 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.639 This would be very very basic. For people who know history, 74 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.480 you will know this. For those who don't, look, history's 75 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.920 not taught very well in most schools. For those who don't, 76 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.480 this might be some new information. Let's rewind. Oh the 77 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.560 way back to the early nineteen hundreds. World War One 78 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:43.199 is what we're doing here. Germany, France, Britain, Russia, Austria, Hungary. 79 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.199 That that was a country back then. They all get 80 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.480 in a nasty, nasty, hot war known as World War One. 81 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.360 It's bad. Millions of people are dying. The world is horrified. 82 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.319 The world is horrified. Okay, the world had never ever 83 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.319 seen casualty numbers like this. It just it blew people 84 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.199 away that that was even possible. All Right, World War 85 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:16.480 One ends. It ends, and Germany lost. Germany lost, and 86 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.600 the people who won the Frances, the Britons, US. We 87 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.720 made a choice, and this choice has been crushed because 88 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.879 hindsight is twenty twenty and because of how it worked 89 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.240 out in the end. But the thinking at the time 90 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.199 was this, we've all lost a lot of lives, We've 91 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.000 all lost a lot of treasure here. It was clearly 92 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.000 Germany's fault, which let's pause for a second, and that's debatable, 93 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.839 but anyway, at the time, it's clearly Germany's fault. Germany 94 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.040 was the bad guy. Germany did all this. It's all 95 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.120 the dirty German's fault. So since it was their fault, 96 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.480 shouldn't they be punished for it? Shouldn't they pay for everything? 97 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.920 Shouldn't they? And so brutal, brutal punishment was brought down 98 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.279 on Germany, from US, from France, from Britain. Brutal punishment, 99 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.160 the kind of punishment first of all the reparations. The 100 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.000 other nations essentially told Germany, hey, sorry, you lost. You 101 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.959 need to pay for everything, our war, your war, everything. Now, 102 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.199 this is a country whose economy is already in shambles. 103 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.480 You just got done fighting a multi year world war. 104 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.680 The economy is already bad, and then we tell them, hey, 105 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.319 you need to pay for everything. This would be the 106 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.800 equivalent of you, you declare bankruptcy because you've lost it all, 107 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.519 you can't pay your bills, and then your mother shows 108 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.879 up and tells you that you owe her two hundred 109 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.079 and fifty thousand dollars because she spent all that time 110 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.279 raising you. You don't, you don't have a penny at 111 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.000 this point in time. So we did that. Oh but 112 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.519 we did something else that may have been as damaging 113 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.600 as the reparations. We said, hmm, by the way, on 114 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:08.439 top of all this money you're going to need to pay, 115 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.360 we're going to go ahead and take all your most 116 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.560 valuable territory. So that would be the equivalent of your 117 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.879 mother showing up after you declared bankruptcy demanding two hundred 118 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.000 and fifty thousand dollars, and then work calling you that 119 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.519 day and saying, by the way, you're fired. We took 120 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.639 away the most valuable territory, the most valuable parts of 121 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.439 their economy. It was a brutal chastisement of Germany. How 122 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.199 about that Chris College word chastisement. Anyway, we crushed Germany Germany. 123 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.639 It's all your fault. We crushed them. And I know 124 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.160 we all look back now and talk about how horrible 125 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.959 that decision was. I get that at the time, it 126 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.519 made sense to people Germany, it's all your fault, you pay. Okay? 127 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:59.680 Where that lead? Well, you took a large, modern country 128 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.079 and you beat them up, and once you had beaten 129 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.720 them up, you then started kicking dirt in their face 130 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.600 and spitting on them. The people of Germany were crushed, 131 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:21.040 economically crushed, spiritually crushed, national pride wounded beyond measure, a 132 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.240 down in out people you've seen. If you haven't seen, 133 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.120 I would actually encourage you to go look this up. 134 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:31.839 Pictures online of people in Germany post World War One? 135 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.840 Germany walking around with wheelbarrows full of cash? Are these 136 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:42.200 rich people know? The cash was so worthless? People would 137 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.720 haul it around and start fires with it. You think 138 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.960 you've got inflation problems, which I know you do. I'm 139 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.600 not dismissing those, but they knew about inflation. A people 140 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:57.120 completely smashed, and then because they were down and out, 141 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.919 this happens when a country is down and out, just 142 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:07.240 they heads up. Because Germany was down and out, groups 143 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.960 started to fight for power. Different groups. There were communist groups. 144 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.960 Obviously you know about the Nazis. You know who ends up, 145 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.639 you end you know in hindsight, who ends up winning 146 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.039 this whole thing. But the Nazis weren't the only group 147 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.840 in Germany fighting for power. There were many different groups 148 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.240 in Germany fighting for power, but all of them, virtually 149 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.799 all of them, were selling a similar message. There was 150 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.759 a common thread in all the messaging, and the common 151 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.320 thread was you shouldn't have to live like this, You 152 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.840 shouldn't have to take this. This shouldn't be this way. 153 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.840 You pour, you beaten down wheelbarrels full of cash, because 154 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.320 our money's worth this. There should be something better. And 155 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.720 of course, you know spoiler alert, you know how that 156 00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:03.600 ended up. An insane, hate ful demagogue named Adolf Hitler 157 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.200 who gave an amazing speech. He was infamous for it. 158 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.480 He would started out in the beer halls giving it, 159 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.000 and he got so famous for his speeches people would 160 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.759 gather around just to hear him. He became the voice 161 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:22.399 of this growing Nazi party, Nazis' takeover Europe. Nazis get 162 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.000 us all into World War two. Just fast forwarding through 163 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.480 all these things, then we end up post World War Two. 164 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.960 We will start again there in just a moment. Like 165 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.480 I said, this is a very abridged history. I realized 166 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:37.879 I glossed over just a couple things. It is The 167 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:42.960 Jesse Kelly Show on a wonderful, wonderful Monday, reminding you 168 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.639 you can email us, and you should. We love your 169 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.000 emails Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. We are talking 170 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.720 in a very roundabout way. Israel, Iran, where we're going, 171 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.919 where we're at. But first we're addressing the idea, the 172 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.639 concept of regime change. That term has been thrown around. 173 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:02.200 We're not doing it. We are doing it well, I 174 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.279 think we need it. No, we'd never do that thing, Okay, 175 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:06.720 So where did it come from? We talked about post 176 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.039 World War One in the opening of the show. Post 177 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.840 World War One, we decided, well, regime change, that's your 178 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.799 freaking problem. We're just gonna bomb the living daylights out 179 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.559 of you. Germany. You lost World War One, give us 180 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.000 all your money, Screw you, it's your problem now. That 181 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.080 led directly to the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. 182 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:34.000 Then World War Two comes the largest, most horrible, most 183 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.320 destructive event in all of human history. Death and carnage 184 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.200 like people had never seen. And by the time that 185 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.200 war was done, they were looking at each other, the 186 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.759 leaders of the world were looking at each other. And 187 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.600 with that kind of death, with that kind of sorrow 188 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.720 and sadness, you start asking questions, could we have avoided this? 189 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.279 What did we do wrong? This was something that should 190 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.320 have never happened. So what did we do wrong? And 191 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.600 they came to the conclusion, a conclusion that is widely 192 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:10.519 accepted today, that it was that punishment of Germany after 193 00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:17.679 World War One that led to Hitler's rise. Therefore, once 194 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:22.840 you defeat a nation in war, you should step in 195 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:29.840 and help them rebuild their country in a different way. Now, 196 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:31.679 of course they're gonna have to give up some things 197 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.600 and whatnot, but you're gonna help them form a new government. 198 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.600 Part of it will be their choice, part of it'll 199 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.600 be yours. But help them build a new government, help 200 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.120 them build a new country. It was I mean, it's 201 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.200 an odd thing, but understandable. And this is gonna sound 202 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.879 like I'm defending regime change, but I'm explaining how this 203 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.679 idea came to be. Let's simply look at Japan post 204 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.840 World War Two. Now, we did the same thing in 205 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.919 Europe that that's a little different. But in Japan post 206 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:05.200 World War Two, remember we pounded Japan to dust. Everybody 207 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.399 knows about the two atom bombs. The atom bombs were 208 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:14.360 a fraction of what we did to Japan. We carpet 209 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:20.360 bombed almost every Japanese major city. We pulverized that country. 210 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:27.480 They give up, and we as a country did one 211 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.720 of the kindest things I think a major country has 212 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:34.000 ever done. We moved in just to help them rebuild, 213 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.399 and then when we were done, we moved out. I'm 214 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.399 not even kidding Douglas MacArthur, who everybody knows. General MacArthur 215 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.240 really headed up a lot of this whole thing. But 216 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.879 the United States of America moved into Japan, not to 217 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.120 conquer it, not to take it over, to say, hey, nah, 218 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.120 you can You're not going to be able to have 219 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.240 an emperor anymore, that's a no, but we'll help you 220 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.120 build a new government. Well, in fact, all these cities 221 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:03.120 that American bomb just vaporized, well help you build those two. 222 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:10.360 Let's rebuild this thing. And once we rebuilt Japan, we 223 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.919 moved out. For the most part, I realized we still 224 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.559 have a presence there in Oklahwa. But for the most part, 225 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.960 America said, hey, glad we got you back on your feet. 226 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.440 Glad hostilities are over. We're going home. Now. That is 227 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:29.039 a really, really important thing to understand about American foreign policy. Now. 228 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.759 I'm not just talking history because I nerd out on it. 229 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:38.120 I'm talking about this specific time because this specific time 230 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.159 has governed so much of how we view foreign policy 231 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.080 and specifically war now, because how has it worked out 232 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.840 for us? What we did in Japan pretty freaking well. 233 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.159 Japan is not only a really cool country, which I adore, 234 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:59.320 but they are a close ally now, a very close ally, 235 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:04.960 and a strategically necessary military ally in an area of 236 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.320 the world where China can dominate it. What we did 237 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.480 with Japan post World War Two, it's hard to describe 238 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:17.240 it as anything but an unbelievable success. We got, we rebuilt, 239 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.519 we helped them, we're friends now. It worked out for everybody. 240 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:25.919 It worked out for everybody, And you know what that 241 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.399 was regime change. There's no other way to look at it. 242 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:36.279 We did a regime change and it worked and still 243 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:41.639 works today and works very well. Now let's fast forward. 244 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:50.559 Vietnam comes and yes, we are out to stop communist 245 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.759 aggression and South Vietnam is going to be our our 246 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:59.000 friend in this whole endeavor. We're going to stop this 247 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:07.240 North Vietnamese aggression. But South Vietnam had a terribly corrupt government, 248 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.480 terribly corrupt government. Look, the North Vietnamese government was horrible 249 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.120 and evil. South Vietnamese government was also horrible, corrupt and evil. 250 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:22.080 We did the best we could to sell that to 251 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.840 the people of South Vietnam, and our inability to sell 252 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.279 that to them it was a contributing factor in US 253 00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:35.519 losing in Vietnam. Now, let's get past Vietnam and get 254 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:40.200 to the War on Terror. And you remember, you remember, 255 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.440 well nine to eleven, we wake up, we have our 256 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:50.039 towers destroyed by some dirtball terrorist group named al Qaeda, 257 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.240 and we're angry, were sad, and we want to know 258 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.559 who's responsible. And we'll talk about that from there, and 259 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.480 regime change and how all this came to be. It 260 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.799 is the Jesse Kelly Show. Remember you can download any 261 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.559 part of the show if you miss it on iHeart, Spotify, iTunes. 262 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.680 Doing a little rewind here discussing American foreign policy, what 263 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.759 it was, how did all this regime change talk come 264 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.000 to be? So we did World War One and we 265 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.400 learned painful lessons from there, and then we did World 266 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.400 War Two and we learned lessons on how we handle 267 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.440 the aftermath. And the lesson, the ultimate lesson learned by 268 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.880 America really the world, was you can't just beat somebody up. 269 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.960 When you beat them up, you need to help them 270 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.079 back up when they're done, after they've given up, help 271 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.160 them up, get them dressed up, spruced up, get them 272 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.480 back on their feet. Otherwise they may come back and 273 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.240 take revenge on you. One day, another Hitler may rise. 274 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:53.200 All right, brings us to the g WoT, the Global 275 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:57.279 War on Terror, the g WoT. The towers go down 276 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.799 on nine to eleven. George book Bush, he's president at 277 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.079 the time, you remember all this, decides, Hey, let's go 278 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.039 into Afghanistan and let's go get this Issama bin Ladinghuy. 279 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.160 Now this this may be applicable to today. We don't know. 280 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.519 I hope it's not, but it may be. We went 281 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.359 in there doing it the right way. We handled it 282 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.799 initially the right way. And what I mean by the 283 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.559 right way was there was no topol government talk, there 284 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.839 was no regime change talk. We sent in all the 285 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.480 specops types, all the Green Berets, the spooks, the CIA guys, 286 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.720 the seals. We we sent in all those guys, and 287 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.519 they were in there for a mission, a specific mission, 288 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.240 and that mission was hunt down and kill Wassama bin Laden. 289 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.359 And I don't think anybody, or at least not many 290 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.559 people would have an issue with that. The man responsible 291 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:54.599 for killing three thousand Americans on nine to eleven, our 292 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.519 country has to go kill him. You have to do 293 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.119 that to send a message to anyone else who may 294 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.519 consider doing it. The world has to know you do 295 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.400 something like that, you will die. I demand that of 296 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.920 my government. I demand my government go do those kinds 297 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.960 of things. Otherwise why would I even be a citizen. 298 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.240 But somewhere along the way, and we can all debate 299 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:23.759 reasons for this, somewhere along the way we decided, you know, 300 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.079 forget about this small footprint, takeout Bin Laden stuff. Why 301 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.599 don't we remove this Afghanistan government, these Taliban guys. Why 302 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:38.119 don't we just get rid of all these people, and then, 303 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:42.480 like we did in Japan, like we did in Europe, 304 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.039 we'll get rid of the bad guys and we'll build 305 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:51.240 them something new. We may even have a wonderful ally, 306 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.640 and I know you're probably rolling your eyes now again 307 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.440 hindsight twenty twenty being what it is, and of course 308 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.920 same thing in Iraq. Saddam Hussein's bad guy. It was 309 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.000 a bad guy by any measure. We should take him out. 310 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.319 He's evil, he's is he's that Okay, no argument there. Well, 311 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.640 let's just go take him out, wipe out his army, 312 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.160 and then after we've taken out the bad guy, just 313 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.400 like we did in Japan, just like we did in 314 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.799 World War Two, we will bring a new form of government, 315 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:29.359 we will help them rebuild, and it'll all work out. 316 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:35.720 But it didn't all work out, did it? By any measure? 317 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:41.000 The Global War on Terror was not a success. And 318 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.880 that freaking guts me to say. Probably, I doubt very 319 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.319 much you take any pleasure in hearing it, whether you 320 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.039 thought in it or not. It's not pleasant to think about. 321 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.359 But we didn't replace the Afghan government and rebuild it. 322 00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.279 We spent twenty years there in the same group we 323 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.359 were going to kick out. Took over five seconds after 324 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:07.559 we left Iraq. Obviously you know all that. What went wrong, 325 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.799 A lot of things went wrong. One of the main 326 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:17.799 things that went wrong was we didn't. We didn't take 327 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.759 into account the type of people we were dealing with, 328 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:28.680 the type of culture we were dealing with. And here's 329 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:34.039 what I mean. In Japan. Japan's a very different society, 330 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.160 famously different. I love them for their differences, but some 331 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.240 people don't care for it. I think they're fascinating, wonderful people. 332 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:47.119 They are very moral people. Let me let me clarify this. 333 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.319 I'm not saying they're any better than Americans or anything else, 334 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.839 but they do have a code there, a moral code, 335 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:58.599 big families, grandparents, parents, kids, close. They are very attached 336 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.240 to their country. They were, for lack of a better 337 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:05.920 way to put it, they were a people ripe for 338 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:10.880 a new, better form of government. They were a people 339 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.799 that was ready to accept it and thrive with it. 340 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:21.559 They were ready for it. That's not Afghanistan. Totally different 341 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:26.400 history there, totally different type of people, tribal conflict, religious 342 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.759 aspects to religious divisions, to totally different kind of society. 343 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.960 Exact same thing in Iraq, Iraq, exact same thing we 344 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:39.519 have she Hees versus sun a Dom's bath party. And 345 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.119 then of course Iran gets involved there and you have 346 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:48.680 the jihadas and you didn't have this homogeneous, unified society 347 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:53.359 of people who were already prepped and ready for something better. 348 00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:58.759 I'll put it to you this way. A good career, 349 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.039 good career, let's call it an air traffic controller. They 350 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.400 make good money, right, they make very good money. And 351 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.599 I realized it's a stressful job, and it's a good job. 352 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.160 Now there are two different people in front of me. 353 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:20.720 One guy, completely put together, comes from a great family. 354 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:25.519 We're hard work, did some sports, has a good moral founding, 355 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.400 goes to church every Sunday. Sorry, Chris goes to church 356 00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:34.920 on every Sunday. I hand him an air traffic controller job. Hey, 357 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.240 here you go. We're gonna put you through some training 358 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.480 and then boom, here's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 359 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.359 a year job. There you go. How's that guy gonna 360 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.400 do You've never even met him. I just made him 361 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.279 up in my mind. You're probably gonna do it, okay, 362 00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:52.400 isn't he? Then there's another guy, disastrous family life. He's 363 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.039 been divorced four times, in an out of rehab several 364 00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.079 times his entire life, been in jail a few times. 365 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.880 I offer him the exact same deal. Hey, we're gonna 366 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.880 train you up for two months and then into the tower. 367 00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:11.759 You go, how's he gonna do? He's not ready, He's 368 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.599 not ready for that job. Doesn't matter what he's not 369 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:23.759 ready for the job. Regime change can work and it 370 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.799 can't work. It can end with a great guy having 371 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:31.680 a wonderful job, and it can end with two planes 372 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.960 colliding and six hundred people dying. Is the guy ready 373 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:40.000 or not? That brings us to where we are now, 374 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:46.799 where we are, where we're going Israel. Remember, we have 375 00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.759 different interests out there too, in different interests inside of 376 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:58.400 each country Israel. Understandably, once the Iranian regime gone, it's 377 00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.839 a very understandable thing if you're in that country and 378 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:04.720 every day it's a new stabbing, a new terrorist attack, 379 00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.880 a new threat, a new a new this, anew that, 380 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.039 and ninety percent of the threat you receive and attacks 381 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:16.279 you receive are in some way connected to funded by 382 00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:20.400 thought up by Iran. The same country. Well, it's the 383 00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:25.160 most understandable thing in the world. When given an opportunity 384 00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.559 to take out that government that's been doing that to you, 385 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.039 that you would want to step up and say, okay, 386 00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:35.440 it's on that boys, Especially after October seventh, especially after 387 00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:38.319 we watch a thousand people die, especially after you know 388 00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.960 what we are done. Opportunities here, there's more of an 389 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.559 appetite for it nationally and internationally than we've ever had before. 390 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.000 Let's go kill all of Iranian's leadership. So that's one motivation, 391 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.960 and it's an understandable motivation. And then let's talk about 392 00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:58.279 us here at home, the tightrope Donald Trump has to 393 00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:02.480 walk with competing and and where we are and where 394 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.200 we're going. We'll continue this in a moment.
