EP: 62 Tit-for-Tat with Iran: The Economic War the US Isn’t Built For · The Sense and Senseless Podcast

• bryan: every time somebody fucking dies, it doesn't matter what that person did. Their eulogy is he was a great man. He could have beat his kids every day and molested his fucking kids. And their their family is gonna get up and say he was a great man. No, you you just because yeah. Jason: great man. He's up there with Jesus right now. Man, this dude worship the devil. He's with Jesus. He's with Jesus. He was a great man. bryan: Exactly. He's with Jesus now. He he he was a great man. 'Cause you can't say nothing bad about the dead. No, you can say if you write your own fucking eulogy as you live. You just do. And if people don't eulogize you by what you did in your life, that's just them lying. Yeah. Jason: That's a disservice. Yeah, all right. Let's you ready to start this? bryan: you ready? Yeah, let's Hey, welcome back. It's the Sins and Sisless Podcast. I am Brian. Jason: Now I'm Jason. bryan: He is Jason. All right, we're just two guys talking about shit that actually matters in a way everyone can understand. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: All right, tonight we're gonna dive straight into the latest tit for tat with Iran. Trump saying that they're begging for a deal, and Orion says they want one, but they don't trust Trump. Meanwhile, we have cheap drones that are forcing us to burn through our million dollar missiles. While all prices climb, and the American public is being told everything is under control. We'll look at Trump's escalating threats, China's mixed signals, Fauci pleading the fifth one hundred and eleven times. BB's seventh visit to DC this week. Well, he didn't visit all seven this week, but seventh visit to DC since Trump's been in office the second time. And what's happening on Spain's borders? We have a packed episode, so stay with us. Please like, share, follow, and subscribe. We appreciate every single one of you. Jason. Got anything before we start? Jason: Yes. I played the fifth. bryan: Please don't feel no shit. No, I have to go back and look. Jason: Five, one, two, three, four, fifth. Did you see the video I sent you of Dave Chappelle? you did on TikTok. I was hoping you'd throw that on there if you seen this. bryan: You put that on TikTok. Jason: Yeah, I'd I'd sent it to you on that. It's Dave Chappelle's skit of him being questioned by the government and he kee he's got his lawyers and he's singing it. I played the fifth, I played the fifth. He goes, Hold up, I got a secret document here and he picks it up and it says F I F fifth. bryan: Well if you got it, pull it up and you can share it at the end. No. Jason: Okay, I'll I'll see if I can find it. But go ahead, get this party started. bryan: All right. All right. So we're still going tit for tat. If y'all don't know where we're at with Iran this week, Trump's still saying that Iran is begging for a deal, while Iran is saying they want a deal, but doesn't believe Trump will honor the deal. So both parties believe the other one is lying. Now Trump says, and I'm paraphrasing that Iran is scum and will never honor a deal. They are terrorists and they have never honored a deal. Then I hear Iranian leaders state that they don't trust Trump as he broke the commitment to the memorandum of understanding the very next day after announcing there was a memorandum for understanding. He did this by escorting ships out of the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating with Iran. Therefore, Iran shot some ships. Then the U.S. said that Iran broke the memorandum of understanding and started bombing Iran. And here we are today, still going tit for tat. Earlier this week, Trump was again saying that Iran was begging for a deal. Then Iran struck Jordan. Now this caught us off guard. And I say it caught us off guard for two reasons. I don't think Trump was thinking Iran would take the offensive shots at the US. I think Trump was thinking that he could say that Iran was begging for a deal and the oil prices would drop, or whatever they normally do for. whatever he wants to do to manipulate the market. You know, kind of like the what it was 20,000 times he said before, and everybody made the fuck ton of money with oil. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: Now, I could be wrong about that one, but I'm betting it has to be some truth in there. the other reason I think they were saying that this was a surprise attack was They think that there's this rule that Iran can only counter strike. You know, they're not supposed to go into in the offensive. And I don't think that we would have called that a surprise attack if we were prepared. So that tells me that we wasn't ready for the jab that Iran was given to us. Now, if you've seen anything about the The missiles being shot at Jordan, you might say, Well, Brian, we shot all those missiles down. So that offensive was useless. Their jabs are useless. And that, my friends, that is how simple people think. The reason I keep saying jabs, because I think Iran is just taking jabs at us. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: Not saying they have a knockout punch, but they're weighing us down. And again, I can hear eyes roll from the people who are about to say how ignorant I am. And truth be told, I'm not a smart man. And I'm willing to admit that. But I am a man that thinks for himself. And that right there, that makes me smarter than a lot of people that shout me down. So now hear me out. If you ever got in fights, you know You can't beat everyone. You just can't. Sometimes you might have the upper hand, and other times you might just take a beating. But if you're fighting someone that is much bigger than you, you can likely wear them down by moving. Why? Because it takes the big person more energy to move than it does the smaller person. And more times than not, the smaller person will be faster than the bigger person. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: Now, again, I I I can hear them already saying, Man, if that big guy catches that little guy, that's ass. You know, everyone always says that, you know. Jason: But he never does. bryan: No, because if you if he's saying that, then you evidently you you haven't seen small guys fight. I mean, the smallest fuckers are the scrappiest. Well, I I can't say that they used to be the scrappies. I don't know how they are now. But they had to be because everybody fucked with them. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: You know? Now I'm not saying Iran is faster or scrappier than us, but I am saying they're doing their best to wear us down. And when I say wear us down, I'm talking about economically. Just as I've said since the start of this war, the Iranian people know what living a hard life is like. I mean, we have no idea what a hard life is like, most of us. Not like them anyway, you know. Overall, we're soft as a nation. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: Not being mean to anyone. I ain't, you know, I'm trying to be mean about this at all, but it's just the fucking truth. Now, the jabs. If I ran jabs at the United States with a fifty thousand dollar drone and we continue to take these drones out with a million to twelve million dollar rocket, well, even a dumb person like me can see that the math doesn't add up. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: Then these $50,000 drones can be replaced in likely weeks or months, and it takes no less than a year to replace one of our missiles. And a year is a quick turnaround. Most estimates are two to five years. So now we're spending millions to shoot down a $50,000 drone with missiles that take years to replace. And it's not like the Trump administration doesn't know this. Currently, they are allowing some missiles through to strike the bases as long as it doesn't cause loss of life. So if I if it's just gonna affect our base infrastructure, we'll sacrifice that to save munitions. I mean, does that sound like unlimited weapons? yeah, now and w go ahead. Jason: That math doesn't add up either because the cost of repair that base is gonna cost more probably too. It's yeah, but then a contractor makes money though, right? So bryan: Yeah, and that Yep. Jason: yeah, there we go with people making money again. bryan: And in a few weeks ago I had mentioned that I think that they just allowing the bases to be destroyed because we might not rebuild. And I I've seen some comments that, you know, I'm just ignorant. I that does the only thing that makes sense. Why w it doesn't seem like the people in the Middle East would want us there? Let's just say I don't know, let's just say Jordan this last attack. If Iran strikes Jordan because we have a base in Jordan and we're not using that base for offensives against Iran. So we we Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: have bases supposedly everywhere for offensives and protection of that area, right? And we're not doing what we're supposed to do in that area. Now I'm not blaming Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: our military or our men. I'm just saying if we're not doing what those bases are there to do, why would the country of Jordan or any of these other countries want our bases there? You know, all it at this point, what it did, it just made them a magnet for missiles. You Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: know. So that's Jason: Yeah. bryan: why I really believe that they're allowing our bases to get destroyed. I don't know if they're going to rebuild them. They might kick us out of there. I personally I hope they do because I don't think we need to be over there. But having said that, you know, I don't want us to lose all this money. And one more thing on my point. Iran now has control of most of the oil leaving the Middle East, and that's roughly 20% of global oil trade. This will drive up the cost of oil, which will cause prices to keep climbing in the US. Which will continue to make people in our country poorer. And like I said, we're not built to be poor. We're built to be comfortable. And one thing that a lot of people need to remember, and I don't know if enough dads taught this, but I'm sure your dad did. I mean, it's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. You know? And again, I'm not saying Iran can beat us, but I mean, they're just ready to fight. Jason: It's the old analogy bryan: That all makes sense? Jason: of the yeah, it's when you got that preppy kid that's mom and dad's got money and he's a bully and he's like the a football player or something like that, and he goes after the poor kid bullying him, and finally the poor kid lets him have it and the poor kid whips his ass. Now the poor kid may have gotten some hits on or you know, the rich kid may have got some good hits on him, but that ri that poor kid didn't have nothing to lose. You know what I'm saying? bryan: Yeah. Well, that's yeah, if yeah, tell you, when you get in a fight with something like it like that, I mean, Jason: Right. bryan: even if the the rich kid was beating that poor kid up, that poor kid more than likely is not gonna stop fighting. You know, just just because you walked away doesn't mean the fight's over. Yeah. Jason: No, because maybe his mom his dad beats him at home and he's already used to that shit. bryan: And that's the other thing is I mean, in in a fight, and if and I'm not a big fighter, but I I've been in a lot of fights when I was younger and I got my ass whooped a lot. But you don't stop, you know, and when you don't stop, that fucking that right there builds respect. And that's kind of like what you see Iran. I they're getting hit, they're getting hit, and they're getting hit, but they're not stopping. You can't you can start a fight, but you can't determine when that fight stops. You just can't. Yeah, I think that's where we're at now. before we I came in here this morning, I I did see on the news that our board of peace had struck a deal with Hamas about Hamas turning over their weapons and no longer fighting or whatnot. So I looked into it a little bit, and I didn't have a whole lot of time to look into it yet. But it it does have stipulations with Israel, and they will turn over their weapons if Israel, you know, pulls out of Lebanon. And out of Gaza and then honors the whatever line they have over there. And there's you know a bunch of stipulations that go back and forth, but it still involves Israel, you know, doing their part. So right now we might have something good. We do, you know, we might have an agreement with with Hamas, and maybe there won't be any more fighting over Gaza and Lebanon. Having said that, it goes back to Israel, honoring their side too. So it's going to be a staged pullback. And we'll just see how it goes because every agreement we've seen so far hasn't worked out at all. You know? Jason: Yeah, I know. Yeah, and that's because I hate to say Israel can't hold up to their word either. I mean, they're people need to s I don't care. You got you trolls or whatever are still gonna come at us with this crap, but I don't care. Keep bringing it, 'cause we'll keep slinging it. But Israel Israel ain't acting any better than Iran. We both, me and you both agreed Iran does not need any nuclear capability. And They need to be they need to be held in check. Cause there's a lot of instability over there. But bryan: If every nation was on the up and up, why would any nation need nuclear capability? Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Why don't w yeah I don't think we need that. And if you're like, well, for power and things like that, man, come on. bryan: That's the whole thing. It's it's human nature. Jason: You can't be y they can't be trusted with nuclear power because, we're building a bomb over here in the power plant. You know what I'm saying? But don't don't look at us. We're we're just doing power. Yeah, they're got scientists in there building bombs. You know, come on. We understand that. But Israel is just as damn shady. We've already shown bryan: Well, I think all countries are. Jason: b well, I know, but we've done showed the righteous country, the righteous country, right? Sitting there taking pop shots at ki kill killing kids, throwing flashbangs in cars. Like little like a little Ford Fiat and you're throwing a flashbang in there that's designed to clear a big room and you're throwing it in a the size of a of a small closet. bryan: Yeah, they definitely take it to the next level when you look at it like that. Jason: Yeah, dude, they're they're just as damn bad as any of them over there. So we need to get off that crap and start, well, we support Israel. We support Israel. Support the word of Lord, I'm fine with that. I do too. But that ain't the Israel in the Bible. I'll tell you that right now. Ain't nobody being told to do that. Where where would bryan: Well i if you had Jason: we be telling if you go into the sorry, I'm gonna preach just for a sec. Give me a sec. bryan: Yeah, I gotcha. Go ahead. Jason: If you go in the New Testament, all that old stuff got wiped out by Jesus, right? You I know you say you're not big on that part, but I am. That all that got got erased. God's wrath is not like that anymore because of the blood of his son. So if that's what you do to believe, then why is the Israelite still doing the crap like supposedly in the Old Testament where they're trying to genocide all these damn people over there? Stop it. You're damn hypocrites. You're you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth. You're you're you're trying to say how good God is and how much he loves you and he wants you to come to him, but then you're talking about being okay with Israel being over there doing genocide to Palestinians and all that. And I'm gonna tell you right now, we've showed you the pictures of what that looks like, what Gaza looks like. Ain't nobody gonna redevelop that. They're wanting it for something else, probably to lay a pipeline down or something like that. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna be for monetary purposes, not for building it up and beautifying it. And it's gonna be the next new big city, right? That that hosts just God's love and all that stuff. Guarantee it. Cause nobody goes in there and blows an area up like that and and expecting to build it back up into something beautiful. Agree? bryan: Yeah, I I think yeah, I think they can do both. I think yes, they d they I think they want to run some kind of pipeline or something through there. But also think that you can beautify it you just take bulldozes and push it all around because no reason I say that and I I live where they put pipelines everywhere and once you put a pipeline in, you can bury that pipeline. And I mean they got pipelines that run behind people's houses around here. Jason: But I'm saying them taking Gaza isn't the priority to have it for their own people. It is for there's a reason they want that land. bryan: no. No. that's definitely monetary. Yeah. I mean they when they originally said it, what they were talking about you know, making it some kind of vacation d resort and all this other shit. I I think you can do it all. I don't i I don't think it's for the people. No, I think it's Jason: You can do it all, but I'm s no. bryan: completely monetary. What I'm saying is when I'm when they're talking about rebuilding it, re they probably rebuilding it for an economic function. Not so much rebuilding it for the people. Does that make sense? So they blow Jason: Right. Right. bryan: it all up because all right, let's look at base housing. Like when we was in California. The base housing and all was nice to us, but for the area, it wasn't nice at all, right? Because the area was just so rich. Well, over there in California, they bolos all that and they can put housing there that matches what they want. I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's Jason: yeah. bryan: kind of the same thing is they want something beautiful there. And what they had there. They they couldn't just go in and you know, remodel that. So Jason: But I think there's more to it than just doing that is what I'm getting at. There's a bigger gain over there. It's almost like watching Yellowstone. Did you watch the series Yellowstone when they kept trying to put stuff over there on the Dutton's property or the Indians property, the airport and the and the they were trying to build that up into a tourist thing. bryan: Right. Right. Jason: And they were gonna ruin all that land doing that. Well, that's that's the same thing. I look Israel doing it. They're not doing it. to better themselves as in we need we need a bigger area for our people to live in. No you don't. You you're you're there's something in there's gains in there. bryan: What that's what I'm saying. They're doing it for an economic interest. You know, whether whether they make Jason: Yeah, well that yeah, I know. bryan: whether they make it resorts and a pipeline or, you know, I I don't think that you the reason I say I don't think you waste all that property that's on a shoreline as a port. Jason: But I'm can we can we agree that the majority of the priority is like a pipeline or something like that? And then bryan: no, I agree with that. Yeah, I agree with that. Jason: and then we'll put the i that's the cake, right? The cake's the majority of the the thing and then the icing is the thin layer and the icing would be buildings, like nice buildings and stuff like that to make more even more money. bryan: Yeah, I yeah, I I don't think they did it for the people at all. You know it Jason: Yeah, w what I'm getting at is Israel is do your research, people. I did I I supported them too until Mr. Bryan here started showing me proof. You didn't speak. You just look, do your research. There's they're they're shady bryan: No, yeah. I I I don't know Jason: people. bryan: I don't know these people. You know, I just look in. Jason: Yeah. You didn't have nothing against them until you started digging into it. And then you're like, they're not as nice as everybody thinks they are. And look what they're doing to people, man. That's wrong. You don't we didn't do that over in Iraq. And when them bastards messed with them people in that prison, Abd Abu Ghrieb, I actually drove by that thing once. We had a tire blowout on one of the trucks right in front of it. But anyways, what when what happened to our soldiers that were mistreating them prisoners in Abu Ghraib? bryan: Didn't they go to the brig? Jason: Yeah, they went to the brig and got that big chicken dinner. bryan: And they wasn't doing half of what they're saying. Yeah. Jason: Or dishonorable discharge, yeah. yeah. Nowhere near what Israel's doing. They were just laying on top of and making naked dudes lay on each other. They were doing some nasty crap because they were bored. That's just what idiots do. Yeah. Boredom and being scared, you'll do some stupid stuff just to get through it. And they got caught. Yeah. But what bryan: I was about to say that's boredom. That's what boredom gets you. Not to say it not yeah. Yeah. Yeah, not saying it's right, but that's what that's gonna happen. Yeah. Jason: Israel's doing is like war crimes. That is disgusting what they're doing. That's war crimes. bryan: Yeah, I think yeah, th they got Jason: So anyways, ran over. bryan: so out of touch with humanity to be able to do that. Think about how out of touch you have to be with humanity to do that. I mean to shoot a kid in the limb. Just to shoot a fucking kid on purpose, regardless, or that media lady that was shot. You know, it got media I mean you have to have You have to lose all perception of humanity. I I just don't know how you deal in just life in general after you get out of that. Jason: One one American life taken by and they knew they took her out. Don't sit there and think that they thought, wow, we thought she was an insert to bullshit. She had a media vest on. They took her out. And then did they not go and pumber her funeral and the hospital? bryan: Yep. Yep. Jason: Okay. Then what about the ship? Well, I keep bringing that ship up that they attacked. Yeah, the Liberty. bryan: Liberty. Do you assess liberty? Jason: Go to listen to them people. You want to support our troops, go listen to them and see how much Israel did for us there. And then because what they were doing, they were trying to make it look like somebody else did it to get us fired up to you see what I'm saying? Yeah, they were bryan: Yeah, I think it was Egypt. I think there was Jason: trying to make it look like Egypt did it so we go after Egypt. 'Cause that's how we bryan: Yeah, so we Jason: get pissed off when somebody messes with our soldiers. yeah, just take it. Go go nuke And then what else did they do? I believe That Gaza thing, I g I believe their government was in on that when them people came in on the gliders. bryan: Yep. I I I I believe they knew about that. If they didn't support that, they definitely knew about you can't make me believe that that Mossad, who was supposed to be the best intelligence agency in the world, had no idea that they were going to come in Jason: That that was gonna come in. bryan: on hang gliders. And why it took so long to respond to that is just unbelievable. Jason: Yep. And then what else? Beirut? The bombing of Beirut? Now we're finding out that they knew about it and didn't say shit to us? bryan: Or even in the reports from the nine eleven files with the the sixty railies that had some idea what was going on with nine eleven. I me yeah, I mean it's all kind of things. Jason: I got a bloody tongue from biting my tongue on that one because last time I said it and try to put it on YouTube, they or somebody blocked it. It's bryan: Well, I mean that's not I mean, I'm not saying they bombed it, but I mean they it's proven in if you read the files that there was form prior knowledge. Now, whether or not they knew exactly what was gonna happen or what was I don't know all that, but there was prior knowledge. I I even have a video, I don't even know if I have it for this one, but I even have a video for that. Jason: It's a it's as simple as this conversation here. And people like, well, you're not in them rooms. You're I just somebody said that you guys aren't in them briefings. Well, I'm sorry, I hold we'll run this thing. I'm we got plenty of time because we can run this out. But anyways, let me tell everybody a little bit about our background. We were in the Marine Tactical Air Command Squadron in California for three I was three years, you were two and a half. bryan: Yeah, right around, yeah. Jason: Okay. The Marine Tactical Air Command Squadron controlled the air war for the whole Marine Corps. There was only three active duty ones and one reserve one. That's where all the future ops and the and the present ops happen for the Marine Corps Air War. He was air support. I was air defense. We were in briefings. We trained like we were at war all the time, did we not? We bryan: Yes. Jason: had simulated exercises almost four to six months out of the year. Some with live bombs, some with simulated aircraft over at WTI, and some of them were simulated the whole thing in our own parking lot. But we trained like we were going to war. We briefed. We did all that like we were in a war. So we know a little bit about what we're talking about where the big generals sit and make these decisions. We're not a bunch of dumb idiots that turn random, and nothing wrong with them guys, the mechanics and the electricians and all that stuff, but we Had top seat or secret clearance, some of us had TS clearance. We got to see all the Intel stuff, all this stuff, how this stuff works. We understand a little bit more than what everybody thinks. And I'm telling you, all that all you got to do is I'm Israel, you're the U.S. Hey, we want to go over here and take this out. Well, you'll you're and you would say, Well, Jason, we need to get everybody on board with this. We need to get our country on board. We can't just go over there. This this affects our election. And then then I'd be like, okay, well, what do you think? Well, no, they'd have to get all riled up about something. And we'd be like, we'll we'll take care of it. That's all they have to do. All they have to do is take care of something and make it look like somebody else did it that they want to go mess with or go take. And next thing you know, the United States comes together for that stuff, don't they? I mean, we've seen bryan: Well yeah. Jason: it. Pearl Harbor, all these different things that have happened in our country that brought us together. Maybe if we digged a little bit deeper, somebody did that on purpose because they had another agenda and they needed the United States support as the people to support it so they could go over there and do it while everybody in their pockets are just fattening up. Defense contractors and all that don't make money, Brian, in peace, do they? bryan: No, they don't. You gotta you gotta get rid of the ordinance so you can sell more. Jason: That's right. bryan: I still like to know why it fucking takes so long to build a missile. That don't make any fucking Jason: I don't know. I mean bryan: sense to me at all. Jason: either we're that far behind or they're lying. I that's that that's I mean, you can't bryan: Well, I Jason: show your cards. bryan: I think a lot of it is red tape, honestly. Is they we have so much red tape because there's so much theft and and so much oversight that that just hinders us in a lot of situations. I I really believe that Trump could probably go outside the government and get this shit done a lot faster, just like you know, they the ventilators. Jason: The ventilators. bryan: I I bet you right now And I and I'm not this is I'm not trying to be a smart ass anything, but if you put out a contract and ask, you know, people if they could make this missile or components in this amount of time to put in a bid, you would have a lot of small business owners that can turn a lot of that shit around, you know, quicker than what you have a lot of these bigger bill businesses. And because they don't have all the red tape they have to jump through to get shit done. They don't have to go through A million meetings, you know, to get one thing done. Jason: Right. bryan: And that's what hurts corporations. It really does is, you know, you got to have a meeting, have a meeting, have a meeting. When you Jason: Right. bryan: have a small organization with one guy that's making all the fucking decisions, that one guy can make some quick fucking decisions and get shit done. But you would need Jason: Right. Yeah. bryan: a lot of smaller businesses, you know, to help. But I really believe that that is an opportunity. But again, you would have to give whoever's like Raytheon, whoever's making these things, their designs to the smaller business. And I don't know if that's allowed. Jason: Yeah. I mean, I d I don't know. And I also like I told ya, I think some of it's covered up too that we don't know I mean, you you can't really announce what we have and what we don't and how long. I mean, we can estimate and we can throw numbers out there, but at the same time, do you wanna show your hand? bryan: No, I agree with you. I I'm not saying that I I know exactly how many munitions. I'm just playing it logically. If we're allowing missiles to hit and we're not taking them out, that leads me to believe that we we're rationing missiles. It's just now I could be completely wrong, just looking at it from a critical thinking standpoint. If if I'm allowing you to hit me, right, Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: and it's just a jab, well, that means I Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: I'm saving my energy for something else. I'm not worried about raising my arms all the time to block that jab. I'm waiting for something else. And that's what I think is happening here. Is not so much that we can't defend ourselves as okay, that's gonna blow up a building over there. That building might have cost $100,000. We'll let that one go because we're not gonna shoot a $10 million missile to save a hundred. You know, you're looking at an investment. That's just how I see it. Could I be wrong? I could be completely wrong. You know? Jason: Right. Well, I liked what you said in the last last week's podcast that we did that we could actually we could easily go over there and just end this. But it wouldn't bryan: We could. It it would I don't Jason: it wouldn't look real good to the rest of the world, but we could just we can we got enough big stuff to take this out and be like, You're done. Go hit their big bryan: Yeah, we we have. Jason: cities and you're done. And Shipley, that that Navy SEAL, I don't know if you've ever seen him on TikTok. He was like one of the youngest Navy SEALs, his dad and his uncle was one too. That yeah, he's a good dude to watch if you ever get a chance. But bryan: Okay. Jason: he even said people don't understand the power we have of we do. And we but we show a lot of restraint and we could easily go over to any conflict and end it really quick. bryan: yeah. I I I believe that wholeheartedly. Jason: And I think without nuclear weapons, just our big bombs that that me and you used to deal with, right? And I'm sure they've gotten a lot more sophisticated bryan: I'm sure they got a lot better. Jason: and a lot better than what we had, but still the stuff they had back then when we were in that we knew about that our aircraft were armed with and dropping and all that, we could just bombard the crap out of that place and okay, what are you gonna do? Nothing. bryan: and trust me, I'm not saying we defenseless by no means. I've also heard this week and I looked into it a little bit, not a whole lot, and I'm not trying to drag this out, but I just wanted to ex just everyone understand this. that they have we ha we have smart bombs, which we're talking about precision weapons that are shooting down missiles, and then we had dumb bombs that you just drop out of a fucking airplane and it just falls and it hits where it needs to hit. And we have a lot of those dumb bombs. We might not have a whole lot of, you know, precision missiles. But we have a lot of those dumb bombs. And they were saying that they do have a package now that they can basically it's like a a a backpack that they can strap to these bombs to where they can now use them to coordinate them and drop them exactly where they want them. So we do have options. It's not like we don't have options. I don't want anyone to think that, hey, look, you know, we're we're in a spot, we're in a pickle. Yes, I mean we might be with some of these precision munitions, but no, we we have capabilities. You know, and good thing we do show restraint. I just don't see any reason why we should go over there and just annihilate these people. I just don't, you know. But Jason: No, no. We agreed on that. Can we not just raise our hand and say, Okay, we're done. Good fight. Good seriously, good like the two guys that go at it, next thing you know, two days later, I'm not gonna say we're best friends, but we can respect one another. They don't throw down no more, right? 'Cause now they got bryan: Exactly. Jason: respect. You just shake hands, you walk off. We both threw punches. Sh we should There still doesn't show me anything of why we were over there. If we took out their nuclear weapon or their nuclear capabilities with those stealth bombers, then why are we back over there again? They bryan: I agree with that. Jason: Trump said it was done. We took it out. And we didn't agree with them going bryan: Well a bit. Jason: over there with that. And he did anyways, because it looked like he wasn't gonna agree to go over there with Israel and then all of sudden boom they did it. But he said we took it all out, hundred percent, hundred over hundred. Is what the pilot said on their hit. bryan: Yeah, and and and they more likely did. Jason: Well then why are we back over there again? If we took it out, why's I that's what bryan: Because we want more. What that more is, I don't know. I don't know what we want. Jason: I think Israel wants more and is got shit on us. bryan: Yeah. Yeah, I d I don't know how we how we end that. before I move on, Jason: Okay. bryan: is knowing that we have the power and there's Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: probably some desolate areas in Iran, Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: would a show of force be enough to make Iran just say, Hey, okay. So if you you got this big ass bomb, you know, we sent a Moab out there and we just blow the fuck up, just show them the explosion in the middle of the fucking desert, just crater something. It doesn't have to be anything. Just fucking earth. Just crater it and say, hey, look, this is our capability. This and this is not even our worst capabilities. Let's let's go to the negotiating tables that this is where we're going. You know, that at least I'm not saying we should do that, but is that at least an option to still walk out and say, hey, look, that's a show of force. You might have to show your hand, but you're not killing people. You're getting them to back down. And the rest of the world understands, hey, look, we have the fucking capabilities, don't push us. Jason: I'm not laughing at the situ I'm not, because there's a lot of innocent people dealing with this over there too. I bryan: yes, no doubt. Jason: think I sou sent you that TikTok, didn't I? The I I can't I thought I did of this woman ranting because three dudes over there got executed for standing up to the government over there and she told us to stop us people that think we don't need to be over there doing that to get them out of there to F us. She was telling us F us. And I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry that that's happening over there. But you as you people as a people need to stand up and put a stop to that. We don't need to be over there doing that stuff for you. bryan: That's I I feel I feel that exact way. Jason: Take up for your own damn country and your own damn rights, because there's more of you guys than there are of them people over there doing that shit. You guys are just too scared of it. It's always like the the Negan factor on Walking Dead or any of these any of these like shows where you got a biker gang and the head leader. How does he stay head? He ain't the biggest, baddest dude. It's usually some little scrawny, you know what I'm saying, snake dude. But he's got these big dudes around him. How then big dudes around him not just take his ass out and one of them be the leader? There's more of those people, right, that want a better life over there, I think, than the people that don't. Go handle it. Handle it yourself because when we come over and handle it, we piss all these other countries off because they think we're over there beating up on you guys. And it causes instability, does it not? bryan: It's the devil you know, man. The devil you know is sometimes you know, you you you can get rid of that devil, but who's gonna take charge? You know? And I think that might Jason: Maybe we bryan: be the thing. If you take out the head, you rise up and you go take out the government, all right? Jason: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. bryan: Who puts what in charge? I mean you you create so much you create so much instability that you're gonna Jason: Some there's gotta be not something again, yeah. Right. bryan: have fighting Monks fighting. Even here in the United States, if we create that instability, there's gonna be a lot of fighting on who's gonna take 'cause someone's always gonna emerge as the ruler. Always. We're Jason: Well, I think when the when we took out Saddam Hussein, I don't think that went the way they thought. They you never know. You can have all these these meetings and war room drafts and all this of okay, we get this dude out of here because he's already done what we wanted him to and now he's getting out of hand. We'll put somebody and they did. They had an election over in Iraq. I was there when they did it. Guess what? It didn't go too well because all these other countries seen them as weak, these terrorist groups and all that. And they started flooding in there trying to take over. It was a free for all. And I I just I don't know how I don't know what to do, Brian, but I don't want to be over there. I don't want us wasting our stuff because we're weakening our stuff. I'm not looking at Iran. We'll take you right off. We'll wipe that place out. I'm looking at Russia and China and these other bigger Europe could turn on us. I don't know. We'll get so bryan: Yeah. Jason: damn depleted, Mexico will come up in here and whip our ass. I bryan: We'll we'll get to that in this episode actually. Not Mexico, but we'll we'll talk about the other ones. All right, so let's get moving forward. Jason: That's yeah, sorry. bryan: So a week or so ago, our secretary of defense of war, Pete Hetzett come out and he had mentioned excuse me, that we didn't need the straight of horror moves and all this other shit wasn't hurting us and he downplayed a lot of stuff. And then Trump comes out and he gives his speech which kind of contradicts them. And this going into this next segment, this next video I'm gonna show you of Tucker talking about the memorandum of understanding. So you you think Trump was desperate whenever he signed that move, the memorandum of understanding? Jason: don't pass the smell test, dude. bryan: No, I mean basically he was saying if they we gotta do something or we're gonna yeah, four weeks we're gonna run out of Jason: Yeah. bryan: oil in the world and that's gonna cause a problem. Jason: I thought we had more oil than anybody and then Venezuela and all that stuff. So I don't I I that stuff bryan: I want Jason: just don't make sense. I know the the rest of the world over there is struggling. So now we or somebody's gotta fund them or they gotta get it from somewhere and now it's depleting. But dude, if we got enough to take care of ourselves, then we don't fund nobody else. bryan: I I wanted checked in on that because you you keep asking that and and I and I heard something, so I I I looked into it. And we are a net exporter of petroleum. Okay, not of oil. And I wanted to be clear on that because I keep hearing that we're a net exporter of petroleum. And in my world and in most people's world, when you hear petroleum, you think of oil, because oil is part of petroleum. But petroleum, Jason: Oil, yeah. Right. bryan: whenever they're saying that, that even Is the byproduct and LNG. So when you look at the byproducts of oil and shit, so you have your butane, your propane, and all, we are an exporter of petroleum, which includes the propane, butane, LNG, and oil. We still import oil. And most of the import of oil that we get comes from Canada. So technically, we still import. We I'm not saying we could not sustain ourselves on oil. We could sustain ourselves on oil, but our lifestyles would have to change a little bit because we just fucking consume everything. If if you just look at the cars on the road right now that are out there Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: with just one person in it going everywhere, Jason: Yeah. bryan: and they're all a lot of them are going the same fucking place, right? We just waste a lot of stuff. Not saying that I'm not included. We just do. So yes, I we could support ourselves on oil. But we would have to make some life changes. But I wanted to be clear with you just because I found that out last week and I wanted to tell you that this week. We are a net exporter of petroleum. We're not a net exporter of oil from correct. Jason: Of raw oil, yes. bryan: We still have to bring in oil. Jason: But didn't Venezuela have one of the biggest oil reserves in the world? bryan: They did, and they do. They have heavy crude oil. Now, whenever and that's another thing I looked at this week. Whenever we went in Jason: All right, educate me. bryan: and we got Venezuela, Trump was gung ho that we was going to get that oil. But from Jason: Right. bryan: what I found was the oil pr companies, Exxon, Chevron, and all these other other companies, like, look, man, it's gonna cost us too much money to do that. The infrastructure is just not there. The oil is very heavy oil. You know, we we got to build a lot of infrastructure to support that. It doesn't make financial sense for us to do that. And again, I'm not trying to draw the lines, but when you think about it, does Iran have sweeter oil than the heavy oil of Venezuela? So does it make sense for us to hey look, we can take the oil from Iran. Venezuela has good oil, but will the infrastructure of Iran support these oil companies better than Venezuela? I can't prove that, and I'm not saying that's the case. But it wouldn't make sense on another reason on why we want that area, why we want to, you know, make make them bow down to us that other than the fact that they have nuclear capabilities or had nucle nuclear capabilities, I don't understand why we're trying to make these people bend to our will. And that's what we're trying to do. So I just wanted to say that, hope that it clears some of that up. I did look into that. I'm again I'm not an expert on yeah, I'm not an e Jason: No, it makes a lot better sense. Now I understand. We're not as good as we think we were. We're not bryan: We're not as self sufficient as we we Jason: efficient as we think we are, yes. bryan: are, but we're not. If we quit being so wasteful, we can support ourselves to no end. We have we have the farms, we have we have everything here. We are just so wasteful as a society. In my mind is the reason why we can't do that. logistically and and we have everything here. We might not have the manufacturing and we might not have all we need to make medicine. I get all that stuff. I'm not saying that we we c we could get there though. Yeah, we're just not there yet, but we just gotta quit being so fucking wasteful. Jason: Yeah, I agree. bryan: All right, so let's let's look at a few clips from Trump this week. So earlier this week, Trump gave a speech at Lindsey Graham's funeral. And during the speech, he basically called Lindsey a warhawk, which is fine. I mean, he can say what he wants, and honestly, most people fucking agree with him. But Sean Hannity thinks differently. And this is a clip from both of them at the same place, the same day, giving speeches about Lindsey Graham. So evidently they both knew a different version of Lindsay? Jason: Well, unless AI was dubbing Lindsey taught the clips you showed, and I'm not taking that out of context, it was pretty well coming out of his mouth that we have to take Iran out. bryan: All right. He was definitely a Walhart. And and I say this a lot. A fucking lot. And I I didn't like Lindsey Graham. I'm not gonna sit here and say he was a good man. And every time somebody fucking dies, it doesn't matter what that person did. Their eulogy is he was a great man. He could have beat his kids every day and molested his fucking kids. And their their family is gonna get up and say he was a great man. No, you you just because yeah. Jason: great man. He's up there with Jesus right now. Man, this dude worship the devil. He's with Jesus. He's with Jesus. He was a great man. bryan: Exactly. He's with Jesus now. He he he was a great man. 'Cause you can't say nothing bad about the dead. No, you can say if you write your own fucking eulogy as you live. You just do. And if people don't eulogize you by what you did in your life, that's just them lying. Yeah. Jason: That's a disservice. Yeah, that's bryan: Exactly. Jason: Yep. People know, people that go up there know that people they're like they're lying. He lying. bryan: Yeah, nah, he's lying. He don't know the man I knew. Jason: Yeah. bryan: So now this made me question, you know, who is right. And the other question I had in my mind, did Trump just misspeak or was Trump the only one being, you know, honest? So Jason: Dude, he can't talk he's honest without he he can't he can lie, but it's funny. He tells on himself. Does that make s do you understand that? He bryan: Yeah, I think I think the same thing. Jason: talks too much and then all of a sudden he tells on himself. And Hannity's full of shit. I'm s I'm losing respect for Hannity, just being honest. bryan: I lost respect for Hannity a long fucking time ago. And I have to admit, when I first got into following some of the politics, the first thing I first person I listened to was Hannity, you know, before Rush. And it wasn't long after watching Hannity, hearing him repeat the same fucking shit every day. It was like, yeah, I can't listen to this dude anymore. And and when you step back and actually watch him, I mean you can tell how fucking full of shit he is. Well, here here's Trump on Fox about Lindsey Grant. So Lady Graham loved war. Jason: There wasn't a war he didn't like. bryan: But I I love how he says, but I built a great military in my first let me tell you how great I am. I know Lindsay Jason: He helped me build it. He helped me build it my first. Yeah. bryan: died and we hear to you know we we here to talk about Lindsay and we're burying Lindsay today, but can I tell you how great I am real quick? No. Yeah, yeah, I haven't said that Jason: I yeah, I have to get that in. I haven't heard it enough today. Can somebody tell me how good I am? bryan: I think that was the morning show, so he had to make sure that everyone knew hey hey, look, I know it's early in the morning or it's you know, midday or whatever it is. If you haven't heard yet, let me tell you how great I am. Jason: Yeah. bryan: So I I assumed that Trump and Hannity knew a different version of Lindsey Graham. All right, so let's move on. So Trump Jason: Stop stop, dude. Just bryan: Trump threatens Iran every week. Jason: Right. bryan: And for the I have to admit, for the most part, he follows through with his threats. Now, they might not be as aggressive as some may like, or U.S. may need if they really want to hurt Iran, but for the most part, he is willing to follow through. But man, He upped the Annie this past week. I don't know if you've seen this when he was talking about beating the fuck out of him or beating the fucking shit out of him. Surprise attack. Jason: Mm. bryan: Go beat the fucking shit out of How about that? I that sounds like somebody that, you know, you're getting in an argument and me and you just arguing and then our level of threat against each other just keep going up. But we're not doing anything. I mean, we're just jabbing at each other, you know. I'm beat the fucking shit out of you. Yeah. Jason: Yeah, talking shit across the ring in the corners, right? Like the Rocky bryan: Yeah. And Jason: movies. bryan: and and I still can't get over the surprise attacks. I mean it's war. Again, I'm not downplaying our military. Everything is gonna be a surprise. I think they were surprised because Iran went on the offensive. They used to them hitting Iran, Iran striking back. They Jason: Did we not got better radar capability? We had decent radar when we were in. bryan: I think we do I I don't know how this is the other problem. Jason: Like the TAOC and all that, they had good radars and the Hawk missile groups and the stinkers, they had decent radar. I don't understand why how shit's getting in like that without a surprise. bryan: Maybe it's possible that some of our shit's damaged and we don't know about it. Jason: Package for Mongo, package for Mongo. Off of blades and saddles. bryan: Yeah. Yeah, I yeah, I I just don't understand how they it's a surprise that i we we just go bomb Iran. That's not a surpr Jason: Amazon pulls up to damn Jordan. Package for Jordan, package for bryan: Yeah. Jason: Jordan. Like surprise. bryan: Surprise. Jason: Like, geez. I don't understand that with all the intelligence and the crap we have. bryan: No, if they would be more forthcoming and and show us, you know, have a press conference, show us what we're doing, show us how it's everything's like a fucking secret over there. Jason: Yeah. bryan: Out of all the d we have all these phones, we have every way possible to make this I mean, basically live stream this fucking war. Basically. And we we Jason: And you don't see shit. Right. And here's the deal. I know they're not showing shit. I don't watch the news and all that, but yeah, I would see it on YouTube and social media and all that, what I do watch, and I do not see it at all. It doesn't it's like it's filtered. bryan: No, well, the other day I read that I forgot what Amir, Admiral Cooper, I think it was. I might might be wrong, but it was an admiral who I don't know if he suggested it or he said they were going to do it. They were taking all the phones of all the military people because they were posting like post attacks and all. And that was giving Iran intelligence on how much damage they've done or how accurate their bombs were, and they're also able to track them. And it's like Okay, so Iran Jason: No. Nope. bryan: has better intelligence with TikTok than we have with all our Jason: Damn ChatGPT, they're showing ChatGPT the videos and it's calculating missile drops. Can you put in bryan: That that don't make sense, does it? We have Jason: the weather for that day? Humidity, wind speed, all that stuff. bryan: Yeah, they they have we have the best intelligence in the world and then we we we combine with Mossad and we're being Jason: Okay, but they had no problem putting reporters and all that shit with with us during the Iraq invasion in Afghanistan and all that. Come on, man. bryan: Something don't add up, does it? Jason: No, it doesn't. Because for all w g can I throw that out there? I don't have the hat like you do. I still need to get the fancy bryan: No yeah. Jason: silver hat. Are we even over there? Is this shit even happening? bryan: Well, what what's confusing I I think it's happening, but what's confusing as fuck to me is again, I'm gonna go back to the military bases. We have all those military bases in the Middle East, Jason: Yeah, yeah. bryan: but we're not defending anything over there. So why would our bases there? Why do we have people there? You know, we we're supposed to be there as a presence, right? Jason: you imagine logging onto your email as a service member and you're like over in California or Hawaii or something, your next duty station, Jordan. You're like, motherfucker. I'm sorry, bryan: Yeah, but but what Jason: nothing that who wants to go to Jordan? Why we even in Jordan? bryan: Exactly. Why are we there? I mean it's proven right now. It's just in well, I'm saying in from my opinion, it it's Jason: Yes. bryan: proven that our bases there aren't doing anything. Jason: No, bryan: You know, if nothing else, they're more of a magnet to get that country hit by whoever disagrees with us. You would think Jason: Right. Right. bryan: that we would have a way to defend all of that. And I'm not saying we're not because we are shooting some of those missiles down, but I don't know. It that whole setup it when I was stationed in Japan and We ended up with the say we ended up in a war with China and China just started shooting Japan. And yes, we're projecting Japan, but we're not able to deliver offensive strikes from that spot, then Jason: Right. Right. bryan: it was po pointless for us to be there. You know what I'm getting at? If we're Jason: Yep. bryan: just there just to protect that island, then it's kind of pointless for us to be there. We should be able to to Present an offensive from there. That that's the strategic Jason: Right. bryan: stronghold of that island. We had Jason: Right. bryan: we we had, well, we still have air bases and shit. So we can get things out and we can maneuver. That's what we should be doing. It it doesn't make any sense why they're they're attacking our bases in the Middle East and we can't have an offensive attack from there. We have to do it all from ships. I don't know. And I I could be missing something, but from what I've seen, it don't make sense why we have those bases. Matter of fact, they evacuated a lot of those bases. You know, our or that's our Jason: Yeah, so bryan: that's our military. Jason: I mean, I never it wasn't on our things to go stay it was Okinawa, the East Coast, and the West Coast. That's all we had is Marines. And Hawaii or Yeah, bryan: The and and you could do marine security guard, you know, but Jason: so there was different details that maybe went to smaller ba or Air Force bases. Air Force has bases all over the place. That's what's crazy about that. Army is right next to right? Navy's not as much. Because navies are either out on ships or they're on the coast, right? They got they're like us. They gotta be by the water. But bryan: Yeah, that's all we had. We had th three different areas East Coast, West Coast, Okinawa, Japan. Jason: Yep. So I don't I didn't I know we have embassies and things like that all over the world and you got military personnel that are designated to those to help p perform perform security and details and things like that, but it's minor. They're not bombing an embassy, they're bombing a base. I never knew we had a base over in Jordan. Never heard of it. bryan: I didn't either. you know, actually when I read this week, a lot of people didn't know they had a base in fucking Jordan. I had no idea. You know. Jason: Iran did. bryan: now I'm not saying it was secret by any means, but I mean and and then they said the Jordanian people now are pissed that they don't want the base there. Which I can't Jason: Right. bryan: say I don't blame if we're not if we're not protecting them or at least using that base to produce offensive strikes against, Jason: Right. bryan: you know, showing that we have force right there. I d I don't know. It's Jason: Right. bryan: it's it's a lot of weird shit going on over a lot of unknowns. I don't know. It I don't either. Jason: I I don't like it. I don't like that whereas I understand like we were talking about embassy st embassy or smaller. I don't need to know all that. I don't need to know where the SEAL team six is going and Delta Force and I don't and nobody else needs to know that crap. I'm just being honest, you don't. There's some stuff that has to be done in this world that we don't need to know about. And it's to protect them. I know people are making money off of it too, but there are some bad people out there that need to be taken out or handled. We can agree on that, correct? bryan: Yep. Yep. Jason: But these these bigger bases and things like that, like if I ran striking Jordan, it's gotta be a not a huge base, but it's gotta be something, a substance that they're striking to get at us. Why do we never know about that? bryan: Well, yeah, Jason: That's what I'm getting at. Why is that so secretive? bryan: Again, I don't know if it's secretive or we just did I I can't tell you what every base is in the world, you know. Jason: Okay. Yeah, I know that. bryan: But I I think a lot of people didn't know we a lot of people, including myself, didn't know we had all these bases still in the Middle East. I didn't know that. Jason: Yeah. Can we not just have a well, I know you can't consolidate everything 'cause then we could be easily attacked right and just t totally wiped out in that area. So you gotta have spread out and all that, but I I I don't understand all that. Like you say, can we not just be big in Germany and and Europe? We can bryan: Why do we need to be in the Middle East? If Jason: we can get there quick from those countries. bryan: Exactly. If we can't if we can't be have an offensive assault or launch a offensive attack from that base in the time that we're actually fighting in that area, it's kind of useless to have that base, in my opinion. Jason: Right. Right. bryan: I you you you got a forward section that you to fight with and you can't use it. Jason: But bryan: at. All right. So yeah, if you're Jason: I think bryan: gonna make these big ass threats on the biggest stage in the world, you know, where we're trying to show or showing the world that how powerful we are, you have to make a power move. You just have to or fucking quit posturing like you're gonna do something. Because empty threats, when when you constantly make threats that big and you're not actually doing if I tell you I'm gonna punch you in your mouth and I just jab you in your chest. That gives you confidence. Or I don't hit you at all. That gives you confidence and you build confidence in the fight. It's just and I think that's what Iran's doing. And Iran's at a different level of give a fuck than we are. You know, when it just comes to bearing pain of just everyday life, they're just battle hardened. And we're like suburb tall tough or computer tough. You know, we we're not battle hardened like that. Yeah, Jason: Internet heroes. bryan: we internet. And and I'm again, I'm not talking about our militaries. I'm talking about Our people in general. W just we're soft. Jason: Americans. Yeah, Americans we are. We're very soft. We're a bunch of yeah, we're softies. bryan: Now, Trump he had met with China's president Xi. I don't know if this was last week, week before last, but anyway, China said that they they won't help Iran with with weapons and shit. So here's Trump being asked that question again. So he's gonna be disappointed. I'd be disappointed if they gave him weapons. Jason: Either they are or they're not. bryan: Yeah, Jason: Well, I told my wife not to spend any money at the mall when she went, but I'll be very disappointed if she does. You either know she's going to or she's not going to. You either know China's giving gonna give weapons or they're not gonna give weapons. Stop. This is the part of Trump I don't like. And our bryan: No. Jason: listeners can get mad that I'm every I've got character flaws. Everybody, you got character. Everybody's got bryan: Everybody does. Jason: a niche that people just don't like. And this is one of the biggest ones. He can't just Yeah, more than likely China's gonna help out some and we'll try to figure that out. I don't agree with it. I wish they'd stop. I've already told if we gotta do sanctions, we gotta do sanctions. They need to just stay over there. That goes bryan: In Jason: to show how much weapons that China's got if they're gonna give Iran some and watch us get dwindled down if they're gonna look at coming at us, right? bryan: Yeah, I think they're selling them to them, but still, yeah, they must have a lot. Well, like we talked last week, they they can build weapons quickly. they have a lot of manufacturers that do that. So it they can sell the weapons and replenish them. No, Jason: Yeah. They don't play by our rules. Yeah. bryan: not at all. I mean, we restricted ourselves so much in this country just on everything. Everything. So we had to send everything overseas. Now, one thing about Trump that if I was a world leader, I don't like, is every world leader he talks about, he kind of talks down about. You know, he he respects Putin, he respects G, but yet I can get them to do this, or, you know, they're not gonna sell this, or I talk to Putin and I can end that war in 24 hours. I understand when you have a relationship, but sometimes it's almost like he's disrespecting them on a public stage. And that's what I don't like. Because even if that Jason: Right. Right. bryan: even if that is true, I would not come out and say, Well, I can tell him to do whatever, you know, or I I have a great relationship with them. And if I ask him to do this, he's not going to do that. I would never say that on a public stage because now I'm making him look less than in my theater. And I don't think that bodes well for anyone whenever you get behind closed doors or you you try to get someone to understand, like, man, you you talking shit over there. You know, and now you want me to play with man, fuck you. I'm about to show you who the fuck I am. That's just me thinking. I I could be completely wrong. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: so right now there's reports of China that they are sending arms to Iran. And of course they helped them against us. So one of these is not correct. So here's a little bit on that report. So I guess they're getting some Jason: Why that dude have to yell? bryan: I don't know, I'll lower him down. But yeah, he was pretty loud. Jason: Gosh dang. bryan: So got some anti aircraft missiles going to Iran. And people might laugh. Yeah, yeah, Jason: Mm. What were those? Stinger, yeah, Stinger missiles that we called bryan: well, they got shoulder fired weapons. Well, you know the They did, yeah. Jason: Yeah, they g they called man pads there for a minute. Made me like bryan: Yeah, w w what are they using the pad for? Are they men straight? Jason: Is those manpons, tampons, man pads, sanitary pads. bryan: No no people laugh a about those individual weapons, but Jason: Yeah. bryan: that's what's shutting the Strait of Hormoof down. You know, because they're mobile. They can Yeah. Jason: they're effective. They're effective as hell, people. Don't think that they ain't that they're like some RPG that you just damn guess where that plane's gonna be and try to shoot, like line that thing. These things are guided. They're heat-seeking bryan: So Jason: missiles. I mean, they're usually the last line of defense for our military, right? So you got your Patriots and your hawks, and then you got your what Avengers, the Humvees that are have the missile systems on and then you got your your man carry ones. Those are the last line, but they'll they'll easily take an aircraft down. bryan: And you're very mobile with that. And it's it's Jason: Yeah. bryan: a lot harder to target something like that. Now. And and not being mean, but if you lose one, you don't lose that much. Jason: No. bryan: You know, you lose a man and one show to fire missile. Jason: Yeah. You don't lose a whole battery of bryan: Exactly. So it is effective. I'm not saying as effective as what we have, but based on where they're fighting and how they're fighting, it can be very effective. All right. So we we we there's a lot to talk about with Trump and Iran, but we'll we're gonna move on because old Fauci came back up in the news. He had some diaries they said that came out and they were reading some stuff at his diaries and people were pissed because they were reading diaries. But then I read that It really wasn't diaries. This was shit that was on his work computer that he had written out. So it wasn't like his personal diaries. That's the reason why they were able to publish this stuff. And we talked earlier offline about how Fauci played the fifth 111 times in his hearing this week. And and this dude just came out, he did his opening remark, and then pretty much told everybody that fuck you. I mean, just a big street fuck you. And he didn't answer anything. I mean Anything. Jason: Could I can't I can't share this 'cause it's on my phone, but can I play the audio for it? bryan: Yeah, go ahead. Jason: This is this is actually a TikTok that I sent that I sent you and you said you hadn't read it, but it's the Dave Chappelle's kit of this bryan: Okay. Jason: is how Fauci sounded. I did watch some of the clips of Fauci and it's funny. One, two, three, four, fifth 'Cause bryan: Well, Jason: I hate that amendment. I really do hate that amendment. 'Cause to me, if you're in front of a regulatory or something, what what do you call it? I I'm sorry, guys. bryan: d that was just a hearing, like a congressional hearing. Yeah. Jason: Like like a bo like a hearing. Yeah, a hearing. A hearing. So I'm trying to get my mind back here. you're in front of a hearing like that on that stage. Answer the damn question. Especially I was told, I don't know, I'm not claiming this. I'll have to look it up. I'm sorry I didn't. I didn't get prepared. I didn't know you were going to bring this one up. that I was told or seen that you're not allowed to plead the fifth if you've been pardoned. bryan: Correct. Jason: Because there's nothing that you can say that they can put you in jail or criminal you know what I'm saying? You can't get charged with any criminal stuff because you've already been pardoned by the president of the United or one of the presidents, which was Biden that pardoned him. So he's not allowed to use the Fifth Amendment after that happens because he can't be incriminated. So he is bound by law to fess up, to say and answer the questions. So I don't know what happened there. bryan: Yeah, I I did. Jason: He's already pardoned. Why can't you just be admitted that you did all this shit? bryan: Well, I I see it twofold, and I'm gonna explain w also what I read about the pardon. Twofold is he was pardoned, right? And he bleeds the fifth. That right there leads me to believe that he's just has a lot of shit to cover up. Yeah, Jason: yeah, he guilty as hell. bryan: and and the pardon was like for a 10 or 14 year period. So I mean they cover up a lot of shit. That's a lot of fucking information and a lot of shit you can do in that amount of time. Well, hold on, one thing. And then the reason that The only reason I found that he could do this under a pardon. First, when you have a pardon, you're not supposed to have an opening remark, right? So he gave an opening, not a pardon. Sorry, when you plead in the fifth, he gave an opening remark and then he pled fifth. He said, normally you should not when you plead in the fifth, it means you're not giving anything to anyone, even open and remark. But he could claim that he has not used his pardon or accepted his pardon from Biden. So Biden says he pardons him, but he hasn't been put in front of a trial to where he had to accept the pardon. Does that make sense? So it's out there, like a credit. They gave him a credit, but he didn't actually accept the credit. Now once he accepts the credit formally, then that pardon would apply and he would have to abide by, you know, he he wouldn't be able to plead the fifth. That's what I read. Now I'm sure Jason: Okay. bryan: there's so many fucking legal things to do with that and I'm not a legal guy but I'm just explaining Jason: Well then if he's not accepted, then go after his ass and nail him. Make him accepted so we at least get verbal confirmation that yeah, you played us. bryan: Correct. And that's it is one step that they said they can do. You know, and was it Rand Paul or whoever was, you know, the one that really wants his ass. He he has some different ways that he plans to approach it legally. But there's so many fucking laws and loopholes. I mean, this man is what, fucking 180 years old? He'll probably Jason: Yeah. bryan: die before we get anything out of him. Jason: Well, and then the naysayers are gonna say, was he not Trump's doctor with that female doctor on the stage every day? bryan: Yeah, Doctor Burks. Jason: Yeah. That wasn't Trump taking advice from Fauci or what Trump didn't know any better. I take bryan: Exactly. You Jason: advice from my doctor and he could come I'm I'm just being honest. I don't do that much research. He could come out as a damn killer or pedophile or something like that. Two years from now. Well, you went to him. You're one too. No, that's not how that works, people. Geez. Stop down. Well, Trump used him. Trump used him. I mean, this dude killed a bunch of people. Don't tell me he didn't know. And it was for his own gains. bryan: Yeah, you'd go all the way back to AIDS with this guy. Jason: Yes. And we all thought gates came from some dude banging a monkey. bryan: The the other thing is is why he just can't come out and say that wearing masks was stupid. Or that six foot distance and did nothing. Just come out and say that, hey, look, I did my best. You know, this is what this is the best information we have. No, he just constantly doubles and triples down on everything he said. He he's not gonna come out and say anything. So and he's been doing that for years now. So that proves to me, I mean, he has a real narcissistic fucking Mentality about himself. I mean, he is, he loves him some loves him some him. And then Jason: Well Yeah. bryan: after this, he went out when he didn't say shit during the whole thing. He went out and put this big ass fucking tweet out. I wish I would have pulled it up, you know, about this stuff, about his hearing. It's like you had nothing to say. Well, let me play this real quick. This just to give everybody an idea on how he fucking he played the fifth on everything. And this is just a very short clip. Jason: Okay. Then I was right from what I heard. So good. I didn't have to go research it. bryan: No, you were right. Jason: Yeah, well, I've learned in the comments that don't make statements until you've done your full research. So and I corrected bryan: Gotcha. Jason: myself on anything that I mis miss said. I'm sorry. I just go off of stuff that I hear and read. bryan: So this week we also had BB Netanyahu visit for the seventh time in Trump's term. Let's see what they had to play on a old BB. So yeah, I mean it'd be nice if it shifts, you know. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: We quit bending over and grabbing our ankles for Israel. These people are supposed to have your best interests in mind, you know. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: But is it too late for the shift? 'Cause remember they already voted for this stupid fucking merger of our intelligence. If you don't know, here's a little insight to that. Everybody in government's Mike Huck will be now. Everybody's sucking the dick of Israel. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: People supposed to have your best interest in mind. You the taxpayer, not Israel. Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: So there you go. So who's the real winner of this war in Iran? Is it us? Jason: No. bryan: I d I don't know who it is. I mean, is it China? Is it Russia? Is it Israel? Is it Iran? I I I don't see a winner right now. And I'm sure there's somebody playing this game from the you know behind the scenes. And and for those of you that are blaming one party or the over the other for all this shit, I encourage y'all to join us next week and I'm gonna show you how they're all one and the same. All right, so one last thing before we go. Spain is the latest country to see an invasion on their border. They joined a long list of countries that have migrants moved to their country in waves over the last 20 years. According to UN data, the number of people living outside their birth country grew by about 111 million between 2005 and 2024. Jason: That's a lot of people. bryan: That's a lot of people. Now, here is what's happening in Spain. And you see there, and that's mostly young men just running up. I don't that's happened. Jason: That that didn't look like people hurting. They look like they were all like, Yeah, like they were at spring break or something. bryan: yeah. Jason: I mean what's what's going on, man? Is that an invasion? bryan: I don't know. Jason: I mean, are they is that Muslim? bryan: They was it Moroccan or something like that? They they're from Africa. Jason: How they getting there? bryan: They actually go on so this all right. I could be completely wrong, but for one understanding it's like a wall or a fence that separates them, and it's Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: like a 10 mile swim. And as long as you can go around the outside of the border, so you you go around the wall and you come Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: in, that's what they say. And if you come in by sea. They'll accept you. So these people are coming around. They they got they got all kinds of videos online and inner tubes Jason: Days. bryan: and all this other shit. Just a fuck ton of them. They even got little kids and shit in there. It was thousands of them Jason: Mm-hmm. bryan: that from what I've seen. And I I don't have the exact number that have died. Yeah. Jason: Well she sa they says died. Yeah, that's yeah, n no telling. bryan: Yeah, trying to get over there. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they don't want a better life, but like you were just saying, it's it's not like it looks like they're battered or whatnot. They and it's a lot of young guys. So Jason: Yeah. Military aged men. bryan: yeah, I don't blame them. I don't blame them for wanting a better life. I don't blame the the illegal immigrants that come in our country that want a better life. I blame our government for not stopping it. You know, and then that just pits us all against each other because now we have to get rid of it. And we have this infestation in half the country or a little more whatever once these illegals gone and the other ones don't. Well, if you would have never allowed them in here, that would be another argument we would not fucking have. You know? So they created a problem for us to fight about. All right. Well, that's about all I got for this episode. You got anything else, Jason? Jason: No. I'm good. bryan: All right. Thanks everyone for joining us. It was a pleasure spending time with you. Until next time, this is the Census Podcast. I'm Brian. Jason: I'm Jason. bryan: Here's Jason. Peace. Jason: Face.
