US-Iran War; The Word Of The Day Is Tailored

The hardest part about the US-Iran war right now is not even picking a side, it’s figuring out what the plan is. We talk through the mixed signals coming from leadership, the Pakistan negotiation headlines, the “decimated” talking points, and why the conflict still feels open-ended for the public. If you’ve been asking why the messaging changes day to day, you’re not alone, and we break down what that uncertainty does to trust, stability, and risk in the Middle East.

From there, we go deeper into the home-front consequences: rising anxiety, pressure on the middle class, and the uncomfortable conversation around checks and balances. We debate executive power, the limits of Congress, and why the 25th Amendment keeps getting mentioned even if it’s unlikely to happen. We also get into nuclear weapons, deterrence, and why choke points like the Strait of Hormuz matter for oil prices and global security. Along the way, we touch NATO stakes, proxy dynamics, and the argument over who gets to have nukes and who gets monitored.

Then we pivot to money and influence: BRICS, the attempt to build alternatives to the US dollar, and how resources and trade shape geopolitics. Finally, we bring the energy with a hilarious but pointed breakdown of Senior NCOA graduation photos, because leadership is not just strategy, it’s standards. The word of the day is “Tailored,” and we explain why that joke is really a leadership test.

If this conversation made you think, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What’s your read on the US-Iran end state, and should Senior NCOA enforce stricter uniform accountability?

Wrestling Stories And Shoot Interviews

SPEAKER_06 7:39

All right, let's get right into the topics, man.

SPEAKER_07 7:42

Do you? Macho Man is funny.

SPEAKER_06 7:44

You like him better than Rick Flair?

SPEAKER_07 7:47

No, I wouldn't say I like him better than Rick Flair, but I love I'm a big macho man fan. Not better than Ric Flair, but Macho Man is funny as hell, man.

SPEAKER_06 7:57

Do you think is Macho Man dead? Sorry to say it like that, but okay. Yeah, yeah, he passed away. Passed away. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_07 8:06

The mega powers. They passed away.

SPEAKER_06 8:08

I forgot they were a taxi.

SPEAKER_07 8:10

I I didn't know that when I was a kid, but you know, as now I'm an adult. Now that I know that wrestling is fake, or they call it Kfabi. K Fabay, you know, because they, you know, it's fake. They do scripts and stuff. But hearing the shoot interviews is funny. Who said hi?

SPEAKER_06 8:27

Who's that? Uh Mac Mac DZ? Uh Makai DZ? Mackie? Makai? Makai DZ. Makai. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:35

Mike DZ5 said hi. All right, bro.

SPEAKER_06 8:38

Yeah, it said Jesus loves you. Appreciate that.

SPEAKER_07 8:41

Yeah, Jesus loves you, brother. That's right. I agree. I agree. Uh, anyway, the shoe interviews. If you guys are fans of wrestling, I recommend watching the shoe interviews on YouTube sometimes at wrestlers. Just hearing some of the stories is is funny as heck, man. It's funny. There was a story about um, I don't know if you know the giant from WCW. I know you know Steve Austin, right? Yeah, okay. So he told the giant, you know, he's like, I think he's like seven something, three, four hundred something pounds. Anyway, he said he uh he told a story at the time he FaceTime Steve Austin. So he FaceTime Steve Austin. Steve Austin picked up the phone and says, What are you? What he's like, you on FaceTime, man? Dudes don't FaceTime each other. Hang up and call again, try again. So he hangs up on him and then he calls back. He said, Hey, what's up, brother? I just wanted to see my friend. He's like, Look, dudes don't FaceTime each other. That's hilarious. I think that's Justin says Macho Man Ric Flair promos were the best. Yes, they were. Macho Man's joint was funny. I love the coke, the cocaine, and the race comment when he was on Arsenio Hall. That was hilarious.

SPEAKER_05 10:03

How many of y'all thought Macho Man was black?

SPEAKER_07 10:06

I thought he was black, but he wasn't.

SPEAKER_06 10:09

Nah, not at all.

SPEAKER_07 10:10

He was just tanned up. All right, anyway, we can go ahead and get in our topics. We got a bunch of topics we're gonna cover today. I'm sure they'll be interesting to each and every one of y'all, and as always, hey, fire away at the comments if you got stuff you want to say or stuff you want us to capture. Let's go ahead and get

US-Iran War And 25th Amendment

SPEAKER_07 10:27

into it. First, let's talk about this global instability when it comes to the US-Iran war. For those who may be living under Iraq, the US, United States, and Iran met with their ambassadors in Pakistan and talk about a peace deal. Justin said that was his real voice, too. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

Yeah, that's correct.

SPEAKER_07 10:46

But they made it, they met in Pakistan to do a peace deal with JD Vance and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Kushner, whoever else, whatever. But apparently it didn't work. And so now there's been more threats by our very own president about potentially blocking the straight of her moves. And then also he's put out a long tweet on Truth Social, which reads like I'll let you look at yourself. It's put like this. It doesn't look like the typical presidential tweet. Put it this way. And although most presidents don't use Truth Social, right? Like older presidents, you know, I think he was the only one. But anyway, so what is interesting about this is if you remembered during President Trump's previous uh term, they tried to impeach him, which unfortunately they failed. So now it's discussions amongst the Democrats seriously thinking about uh the U.S. 25th Amendment. So for quickly, for those who may not know what the U.S. 25th Amendment is, it is a discussion to remove a president if they felt like he or she was uh wasn't fit through the mental issues or physical issues. The 25th amendment has been used once or twice in history. One when Ronald Reagan was going through a medical procedure, they transferred temporarily uh presidential duties to Dick Cheney, and then also when uh George Bush was going through this a similar medical uh surgery and they transferred it to the vice president. But the 25th Amendment was never used to remove a sitting president. This is brand new, this is totally new. So what they're using it is based off all of the comments President Trump has made during the Iran conflict, you know, when he said he's gonna bomb into civilization, civilization, blow up, you know, non-military targets. So, in order for the 25th amendment to work, they need a vice president and a cabinet to act together to turn against the president. And they need two-thirds of the vote. I will pause then.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

Yeah, that's not happening. Uh, no, nobody is turning against this dude. When they gonna realize, and I hate to say it, I hate to say it, uh, the Democrats are not together or they don't have a strong enough voice to get this amendment passed. I'm sorry you don't. I don't care how many people say they're against this dude. I don't know how many people care how many people say they're, you know, oh, what he did, I shouldn't have voted for. I see stuff all the time coming up that he shouldn't have voted for, all this other crap. It's not happening, it's not happening. Tony Bosick said, good luck with that ish. Yeah, that's why I agree. I agree, good luck with it. It ain't happening, it ain't happening. He got Devon McCoy. Man, I thought I fixed the the Facebook. Devon McCoy said he got banned from Twitter. Oh, so that's why he has true social. So that's his own Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it. But yeah, it's not happening. Y'all, this is gonna be the president for the next two and a half years. Wrap your minds around that. Good luck on trying. Try, hey, you know what they said, like the little engine that could try, try, try, try, try again. It ain't gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen. Here's a provocative question for you.

SPEAKER_07 14:18

Do you think he should be removed?

SPEAKER_06 14:21

That's a that's an interesting question and kind of difficult to answer. Uh, do I think he should be removed?

SPEAKER_07 14:30

And why?

SPEAKER_06 14:31

Yeah, uh, I think there's evidence to show that maybe that something has happened to shift his mindset, and I'm trying to be politically correct here.

SPEAKER_07 14:42

Uh don't just say what you say from your chest.

SPEAKER_06 14:46

Well, I'm I I gotta make sure I'm politically correct. I I think there's something that's happened where it's changed his mindset to where he thought it was gonna be easy to get things done, and he saw that it's a lot more difficult. So now he's just trying to force things to get done.

SPEAKER_05 15:00

So to answer your question, man, removed is strong.

SPEAKER_06 15:07

I don't think he should be removed. I just think he needs to. If he's not, okay, I'll say this. If he's not gonna get advisors and listen to good advisors, then yes. But I think before that, get some advisors and start listening to people. You're doing too much right now, and it's really if you have a crystal ball and I'm looking at this,

Middle Class Pressure And Broken Oversight

SPEAKER_06 15:30

I feel like America as a whole is about to be in turmoil in the next year and a half, if not sooner. There's a lot of stuff that is going on that is the middle class runs the United States, and it's really hurting the the middle class right now. That's a lot being said. That was a lot being said. Um so, okay, so the people, the the higher class, the upper class, right? They usually invent things and create things, right? So your Elon Musk, your Jeff Bezos, they create Amazon and all that other stuff, right? Tesla, blah, blah, blah. The lower class can't afford it. So they're just kind of just trying to make it to the middle class. Well, the middle class is the ones that buy everything. The middle class are the consumers. And there is more middle class than anything. So if the middle class can't buy anything because we're starting to drift into the the lower class, and I hate to use the classes, but that's what it is. Uh we're gonna stop buying things. When we stop buying things, people that are in the higher class can't get things. Uh, Tony Boss said checks and balances are not working. Uh, he should be at the least control with real barricades that stop him from doing things that a lot of people don't agree with. I think he has, though. He just don't listen. I probably that's the one in the same. But uh, what do you think about the middle class, upper class, lower class, or about how middle class runs the runs the United States?

SPEAKER_07 17:08

I can't say I necessarily agree with that. The reason why I'm saying is based on your point, if you're saying the middle class runs America, then it doesn't feel like it because the majority of the benefits doesn't go to the middle class, it goes to the upper class. So I that's why I find it hard to believe that the middle class runs America. I mean, because that's almost giving the impression that we dictate the change economically and politically in the United States. And I don't think that's the case. I think everything that's happened to this point does not favor the middle class, it favors the upper class. The war favors the upper class because weapons get sold. Weapons that people profit off of. Not only that, but all the changes you mentioned it before offline, all of the changes in the stocks that benefits the upper class. So, and then everything, the pain that we feel at the pumps, which we'll talk about later with property tax, that all affects middle class Americans. So anyway, to answer my own question, I I do agree. I think maybe removal is a bit, you know, strong, you know, maybe not removed, but I think there's no one denying there's a lot of things that our president has done that is unprecedented, and it gives the impression that the checks and balances that were put into place to prevent a president from doing the stuff that he's done has failed miserably because of the divide in the political political parties. In the end, Congress, the House, regardless of the party, is there to provide checks and balances for the president. But because of our political landscape, they have failed to do that. That's why the president feels emboldened to do these things without consulting the American people. Someone tell me, have they heard the president definitively outline A to Z why we're even in this war? Somebody, somebody, somebody tell me. I'm waiting. Because which has been mentioned many times before, at least when we went to a war with Iraq, there was a discussion with Congress.

SPEAKER_06 19:41

Well, this is not this is not a war. He is he has not said that we're at war. No, no, no. I'm just saying what he's saying. I'm just saying what he's saying.

SPEAKER_07 19:49

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff he said. That's not, you know what I'm saying? There's a lot of stuff. Yes. Anytime you have military forces involved, and there's actual um shooting. I'm trying to find a better word than shooting. Conflict there is a war. And so we've lost what? I think, forgive me if I'm wrong. Somebody correctly. 13, I think. We've lost about 13, yeah, 16 members, right? And then equipment, we lost an F-15 fighter over Iran that was shot down. We still haven't identified how it got shot down. Then you lost an A-10 in the same region. This is a war. And it's it it appears it may escalate even further. So anyway, I don't know about removal, but uh I don't know how as a country where if if we can't handle a if we can't handle a disagreement against Iran, how are we gonna handle a conflict with China or with Russia or with North Korea? If he's so quick to do this, what'll happen when when if something happens with those countries?

SPEAKER_06 21:04

Yeah, reading some comments, Rob Roller says it's changes daily almost. Eric J, what's up, Eric? Uh, he has used executive orders to defend checks and balances, and he has not. I mean, I I hate to say, I mean, other presidents have used executive orders. He just makes it a public spectrum when he does it. But uh, if y'all remember, I think Clinton still has the record for the most executive orders signed in the presidency, uh, which is kind of crazy when you think about how many have been signed, but he just didn't public, he just didn't do it publicly. Uh Rob Roller, the reason we hit Iran changes almost daily. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, that is a very good comment. Uh did you see the the reporter last night that asked Trump a freaking crazy question? What question was it? Tony Bosick said, bro, we funding our defense against.

Why The Objectives Feel Unclear

SPEAKER_06 22:00

China, Timu is used. I don't know if people buy Timu too much, but I bought some stuff off there. It actually is pretty good. But uh, so the reporter so Trump comes out, he says, you know, they were like, you know, basically, like, what's up with the war in Iran? Basically, he's like, We, you know, how he always says we defended, we defeated their Navy, they don't have anybody in charge. Is any of this ringing a bell that he says is pretty often? What was the question? He I missed. No, no, no. His comment was, you know, they were like, What's going on with the war in Iran? He said, We they we defeated their Navy, so they don't have a Navy anymore, took out their Air Force, they don't have anybody in charge. Like, we pretty much decimated them, I think is his words, right? Have you heard those things before? Oh, yeah, he said it many a time. So the reporter says, Well, if they don't have anybody in charge, who is the vice president gonna go negotiate with? And he said, Yo, you don't know what you're talking about. That's all he said. He was getting on Air Force One to go watch the UFC fight. I think that's the most controversial thing that happened. If you don't know there was a UFC fight last night in Miami, while JD Vance was sitting there negotiating with Pakistan and Iran, he's at the UFC fight watching the fight.

SPEAKER_07 23:22

I don't know why it's controversial.

SPEAKER_06 23:23

It's not surprising to me. It's not surprising, but it's controversial, wrong place, wrong time. Like, why would we lost 13 people because of a war? It's a negotiation, and you sent the vice president to the negotiation table while you go watch it. I'm not saying why he go watches a UFC fight, but what we saw was you were watching a UFC fight. That is crazy. That is crazy. Rob Roller says Trump and Hex have been on auto repeat with those phrases, and we went regardless, was the end of this that statement. Oh, and we went regardless. That's what he said.

SPEAKER_07 24:06

The thing, you know what? Again, if they would have gone to the American people and said, look, we're gonna do even if they would have gone and did what they did and then later went to the American people and outlined line by line what our objectives were and had a chance, if not the American people, for folks in Congress to debate the the lines that we're trying to achieve or objectives, uh then I would feel a lot better. Like when they say to Rob Roller's point, we defeated their navy, we defeated their their surface-to-air capabilities, we def we destroyed or obliterated their nuclear weapons capability, and we're still at war. Like this, you know what this is like? This is like a boxing match between Mike Tyson and some dude off the street with one arm. We keep beating them and beating them and beating them and beating them. And every time we think in the fight is over, the fight continues. You know why? Because the dude with one arm slides in the sucker punch every single time. So my point is the reason why I use that analogy is that we keep they keep telling us Iran is decimated, but we still continue to fight them. So what are we trying to do here?

SPEAKER_06 25:25

That's what that's kind of what the reporter. Yeah, uh what are we doing? Yeah, I'm a little lost with that one.

SPEAKER_07 25:39

Where we could be using them for something else. And then not only that, there's the NATO issue. Like if there's anything that's bad coming out of this conflict, among other things, is the NATO issue. If there is a if there is a even a thought that we're gonna back out of NATO, that would be cataclysmic. And I think there are some people that actually believe we should do that is bad.

SPEAKER_06 26:05

Yeah, I I thought we were gonna do that when he had that meeting with him. I thought he was gonna come back and be like, well, we're not part of NATO no more.

SPEAKER_05 26:13

I really did.

SPEAKER_07 26:16

Like how can can anybody tell me if do they disagree that this is what Russia wants?

SPEAKER_06 26:27

I I don't know, I don't know about that far. I don't know about that far. Well, I'm curious. I I just don't think it goes why like why would Russia want that? I guess is I'm trying to think of how to answer it, but uh I don't know why w Russia would want us to go to war with Iran so they can get involved.

SPEAKER_07 26:49

No, no, no, no. I'm talking about Russia would want us to back out of NATO.

SPEAKER_06 26:54

Oh, oh, yeah, yes, yes. I'm sorry, yes, 100%. Okay, yes, I'm sorry. Yes, yes, yes. I thought you meant go to war, but yes, Russia does want us to back out of NATO. Uh, we have a uh a couple comments I missed. So the first one was uh epidemic Q6 Q6K. Uh US Oh appendix US was used to bull bully inferior countries, and now they found out Iran can throw punches. This country is twice the size of Texas. You can't just defeat these folks. Rod Roller said, uh JD Vance, negotiations aren't supposed to be accepted by Iran. Ooh, that's a good point. This will give us the reason to hit Iran harder. Tehran harder, it will be a bad, in my opinion, honest opinion. Uh appendix also said we could use the this money for universal health care, but how dare we help American people? Justin said, Just his opinion. I think we're compared by the country that starts oh, compromised by the country that starts with I in the region who's always wanted this war.

SPEAKER_07 28:14

Yeah. Going back to a appendix comment about we it was a comment he said about we messed with a country, no, no, that we knew they could fight back. If you look at it right, think think real quick. I'll I'll try to be real quick with this one. Every single conflict we've been in before this year never involved what I would call the major, the major in sub powers. Meaning China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. They were all considered the countries you do not want to go to war with, right? Because it would be devastating. But this administration decided to do so under the auspices that they have nuclear they're getting close to nuclear weapons. And when you look at it, it is a war, but it's not a war involving ground troops. Someone, I think a reporter or a news media outlet used what we did in Venezuela as a pretext to what we're doing in Iran. Like the administration felt emboldened because we were able to go in there and get the Venezuelan president like that and silence Venezuela. So then as the issue of historical, um, historical um principles. No US president has ever been able to solve the Iran issue, save for treaties or whatever, right? Player, thanks for the subject. So just think. Oh my bad. Let me give him his credit. Oh yeah. So anyway, I I'll I'll pause there because I'm I'm feeling like I'm rambling.

SPEAKER_06 30:00

Uh Rob Roller says Russia and China both know NATO is worthless without the U.S. support. Uh Charles Davis says China is giving air defense weapons to Iran during the ceasefire. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, that's crazy. I think uh it's a lot going on, and uh uh uh I won't be lying and say that I'm not a little nervous. I haven't been nervous about war for a while until now. Little nervous. Uh, because one day you say that we're gonna blow this country off the water and you're gonna kill all civilization. The next day you say it's a ceasefire. And then Iran is saying that, yeah, we they're doing a ceasefire because we got everything we wanted, and we're saying we're doing a ceasefire because uh they're opening the the the hammoose, the the the thing to hamus, the trade, the trade, the whatever. And I'll just like which one is it? Who win and what? Like, what's so funny? You said the harmoof. What is it called? The straight of harmoof. Yeah, the straight of harmoof. But yeah, no US president has really tried to solve the Iran issue until now. That's what I said. Yo, I roller great point. I'll give myself one. Yeah, give yourself one. Uh, but yeah, uh, I remember uh did this start with uh the Bushes and then Obama kind of went with it. I know uh Biden said that basically they'll have no the whole thing to me was Iran don't need nukes. That was my whole understanding from every president from the last probably 20 years. It felt like Iran, and then all of a sudden uh President Trump said they're gonna have a nuke in a couple minutes, and so he just went ballistic. And so I thought we took out all their nukes like five times. We dropped like $25 billion worth of bombs. And then it's like, and like you're to your point, we're still at in conflict, and conflict with them. I want to be politically correct. Uh, US Navy is about to close the Strait of Hamous. Uh appendix says, don't be mistaken, if the U.S. sends ground troops into Iran, they would all be decimated? Uh I'm talking.

SPEAKER_05 32:28

No.

SPEAKER_06 32:29

Yeah, I'm talking if you send in 20,000, you might get 3,000 out alive. It would be a bloodbath. Why do you think wait before we start saying no, why do you think that? I I'm a little I would like to hear appendix. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not agreeing with you, but I'd like to know why you think that. What besides Iran, I think they have the third biggest military. I know we have the third biggest military. Maybe they have the sixth. What Iran has top 10 biggest military. Top 10?

SPEAKER_07 33:05

I thought you meant top three. I'm like, hell no.

SPEAKER_06 33:07

No, the U.S., I think it's China, India, and us.

SPEAKER_07 33:11

When you mean, let's, let's, let's make sure we're clear. Yeah. When you mean military, you're talking about troops or you're talking about total military? Troops, troops, troops. Okay, troops, yes. China has the most largest standing army, then the United States, then the Russians. Uh, I think we're third. But when no, we we are, I guarantee you, we're number two. Guaranteed. But we're not talking about ground troops. I'm talking about total military.

SPEAKER_06 33:38

Well, he said more than a trip. He said ground troops. He said ground troops. So U.S. is sending ground troops into Iran. So that's why I said ground troops.

SPEAKER_07 33:44

They're already there. But see, that's the th that's the thing I'm trying to make sure we capture. When he says sending troops, are you talking about an invasion? Or you're talking about sending in troops, period. Because there are there's reports that troops are already there, but a small group. Nine times out of ten, we're not going to invade Iran. We're not gonna do that. Even this administration is not that crazy. We're not gonna invade Iran.

SPEAKER_06 34:12

We are third. It's China with in India, Us, North Korea, Russia.

SPEAKER_07 34:18

What source is that?

SPEAKER_06 34:20

This is talking about active no guard, reserve, reservists, what top five largest military active duty personnel. Okay, I'm gonna look because I don't like being wrong. That's fine. Uh, I'll read these comments while you're looking at that. Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Instead of forcing or focusing on who's winning, we need oh, appendix said full ground invasion. Interesting. No, uh, instead of focusing on who's winning, we need to focus on who is losing and what being being lost. Hey, Charles, hey, uh Terrell, what's up, big dog? But what did we solve? I feel like we didn't turn out like the administration thought. Yeah, I feel the same way. What's up, uh uh Chris

Is It Legally A War

SPEAKER_06 35:10

Blessings? Sorry, I can't put these comments up. It's it's pretty much pissing me off. But uh yeah, I I don't know. Uh politic, politically correct is not conflict, Pete. We are at war. Charles Davis, we're not I don't, I don't think we're at war. Doesn't the president to be at war has to declare war? To be at war, politically correct. You can call it whatever you want, but I'm just trying to use a politically correct term.

SPEAKER_07 35:40

Well, why why do you keep saying politically correct? What do you mean by politically correct?

SPEAKER_06 35:44

The correct term, like there are there are stages before we are at war.

SPEAKER_07 35:50

It's almost like when you say that term politically correct, usually you say that term because you're trying to say something that is not um controversial provocative controversial, yeah, yeah. But if you if if if you were saying that and news media outlets were reporting it as the US-Iran conflict or the US-Iran disagreement, but no one is calling it that. Everyone is calling it a war, so it's not politically, at least in my opinion, it's not politically correct. It is a war. It may maybe the right term would be um by legal standpoint, yes, by the constitution, yes, it is not a declaration of war.

SPEAKER_06 36:36

There you go.

SPEAKER_07 36:37

Yes, I like that, but it is a war because there is a conflict going on between two countries, not to mention other countries in the Middle East who were hit by weapons from Iran.

SPEAKER_06 36:52

Charles David said Pete Arponis is calling it a war, and his secretary of war and joint chiefs said term war. Okay, all right. Maybe I haven't heard that. Uh Thomas White said, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. It's war, Pete. Hey, If you all call the war, call the war. I just thought it was a conflict. All right, sorry for being wrong. I thought it was a conflict. I thought there was legal terms to say, like, like I thought the only people who could put us at war is Congress, but I could be wrong. Uh, appendix, good good comment. Here we are. Iran has prepared for a war against the US for 40 years. They have planned a they have planned for a full ground invasion based on what they saw in Iraq. Lessons learned from that war. Uh, it said something else, but I couldn't finish it. The U.S. troops, I couldn't finish it.

SPEAKER_07 37:48

Is that on YouTube?

SPEAKER_06 37:49

Yeah.

unknown 37:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 37:51

Uh, but yeah, uh appendix, man. Uh I just don't think we'll get decimated.

SPEAKER_06 37:59

There we one, I don't think like thanks now. Now it's coming up on the thing, so I appreciate that. Uh, I think we would be hunted by drones by somebody that's underground or in a cave. Don't forget we got a we got two, all right. We ain't just sitting out here with dang uh BB guns and just sitting here throwing stones at at uh uh drones flying through there. Don't forget we got stuff too, and we got money to spend, uh, as you have seen. Now, do we really have money to spend? I mean, I guess we do, but who knows the outcome of it? I think, like Charles Davis said, it ain't about who's winning, it's about who's losing and about what is being lost. We're losing a crap ton of money. Charles Davis said. Charles Davis said, Israel pimped us into war. I agree. What is Congress for being POTUS don't care about getting permission? Yeah. What is Congress for because oh, what is Congress for because POTUs don't care about getting permission. But my thing is, like, how they gonna stop them? I agree, I totally agree with what y'all are saying. What I pissed off about is ain't nobody stopping them. Like, I think if you were to take a poll, if you were to take a poll, 90% are confused with why we're at conflict or war with Iran. 90% of the US population are probably confused. And I would think about 40 or 50 disagree with it altogether if I don't have those numbers flipped. But nobody's stopping them. How do you stop them? That's my biggest complaint and question. I thought we had checks and balances to stop this shit. Oh, sorry. Sorry, YouTube. Uh Thomas Wright said, Yes, Pete, you're right about Congress is the only ones who can declare war. However, Congress has slowly given the power to every president since 2002. Uh Rob Roller says, if we put ground troops in Iran, the only thing. Oh, whoa, whoa, too much. The only thing, oh god.

SPEAKER_07 40:21

If we put ground troops in Iran, the only thing getting decimated would be the GOP on election day.

SPEAKER_06 40:28

I would argue they're gonna get decimated now. Yeah, Terrell Farrar, dang, too many comments. Appreciate y'all with the comments. Terrell Farrar say, unpopular opinion. We are losing this war. We thought this was Iraq, and it's not. Uh ain't gonna got nothing to lose, and we will die behind it. Add to the fact they got China and Russia backing them, and we got and we just got Israel. Well, we got we got NATO so far.

SPEAKER_07 41:00

I I I disagree with that one slightly. I would I agree that we are so here's the thing. If you're saying we're losing the war, by what standard? It's because we didn't meet the achievement, you know, we didn't achieve any of our objectives yet outside of bomb the crap out of them. And we you can make the argument we have uh significantly affected their military capability that was going to take them a couple of years, maybe longer, to get back. But we have effectively made, I argue we made the United States more at risk. Because if I'm Iran, and with make no mistake, we may have killed the Ayatollah, but his son is still there. As far as we know, we don't know if he's dead or not. But the fact that they have not been able to accept our demands in Pakistan and we're still at war with them tells me there's a potential that in the future there's an opportunity for them to get back at us one way or the other. No, and it has made us more enemies in the Middle East.

SPEAKER_06 42:08

I think hey, great points. Uh appendix said, no, I agree, U.S. has superior technology, but U.S. is fighting on foreign soil. I think we always fought on forever foreign soil. Uh, Iran is larger than Afghanistan and three times as mountainous home field advantage.

SPEAKER_07 42:27

Maybe but but appendix, we're we're not looking to invade Iran.

SPEAKER_06 42:32

Great point.

SPEAKER_07 42:33

You know, I mean, it's just not like Iraq. We're not, I'm gonna say dumb. Uh we're we're not that bold to invade full-scale Iran. One, I don't think other countries like Russia and China would allow us to do it. That would cause a potential of it really getting out of control. Not only that, we don't have, we don't have think about when we invaded Iraq. We went in there, we did Desert Storm, we did uh what do they call shock and all, right? And we put US troops on Iraq soil. Look, for years we stayed in Iraq and in Afghanistan between all the different IEDs and folks like partisans, sympathizers. There is no way we can fully conquer Iran. There's no way. The only thing we can hope for is regime change that is friendly to the United States government. But as far as us going there and taking Iran, we're not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_06 43:36

I don't really think there's a point either.

SPEAKER_07 43:38

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_06 43:39

But uh Charles Davis says, uh, let me get to these four comments. Charles Davis says, Yeah, we got money to spend, we just wasted a crap ton of money on the stupid spaceship to fly around a flipping rock called the moon. Shaking my head, this ish is crazy. I mean, that's a good point. Uh, if you want your comments up there, get on. That YouTube, man. Like you said earlier, the advisors need to advise. I don't think they're getting the opportunity. Ooh, they need to just take the opportunity in. Two more comments that we have. Thomas White, what's up, Philly fans? The only way they stop him is to pass a bill which would get vetoed or voted. By then they would need two-thirds of Congress to override the veto. And then last one on YouTube, oh, this is getting the gas prices. Gas prices are effective when Iran closes the strait. Imagine Iran with nuclear weapons closing the strait. Your opinions are nuclear nuclear war or pay the demands of Iran to use the strait. So you, I guess, Mike, you kind of agree that we're in conflict at war with Iran by that comment. If I'm reading that right, if I'm reading that right. Hold on, he just says, he just said

Nukes Strait Of Hormuz Fears

SPEAKER_06 45:00

one more thing. Uh people don't under God. People don't understand how many materials are on the moon, and that's why China is hidden there. More materials than Earth.

SPEAKER_07 45:15

But I want to quickly go to Mike's comment about the uh closing the Strait of Harmoose and Iran with nuclear weapons. Make no mistake, here's the thing. I think I don't blame Iran for wanting nuclear weapons. Doesn't everybody have them? Might as well. I mean, everybody don't have them, but think of why you have nuclear weapons. It's security. So no country would have come in and invade you. That's why North Korea has nuclear weapons. That's why England has it. That's why France has it. You don't need a large stockpile. You need just one to five that can cause enough damage. That's why when they say, oh my God, China's increasing their nuclear weapons arsenal. Who cares? You don't need that many. You just need a couple. And so to Mike's comment about Iran having nuclear weapons and closing the Strait of Harmuz, I think correct me if I'm wrong, um, Mike VQ HCW. If you're implying that if Iran had nuclear weapons and they closed the Strait of Harmoose, we're gonna have to pay. Think about it. If Iran had nuclear weapons, the United States has the second largest stockpile in the world. It's no different than North Korea. If North Korea decided to nuke a US city, we would obliterate North Korea. Literally. So with Iran, it's the same thing. The only thing Iran, if Iran had nuclear weapons, it would give it's almost like walking up to somebody block and you would be able to bully them. If Iran had a nuclear weapon, it's the same as them having a six-shooter pistol, and we're walking down their block with uh um a 249 or a Mark 19. It gives you a little security, but not a whole lot.

SPEAKER_06 47:08

Uh, I just think back to your point. Uh, I'm gonna read these comments after this. I just think you, like you said, you only need one, and you just need to see who's crazier to use it. You know, I mean, what it don't matter how many stockpiles we have. Sure, we can launch 20 while you launch one, but I mean, you launch one nuke over here. I mean, how many cities and states is that gonna F up, if not completely, I hate to use the term, obliterate. Uh oh, Mike asked you a question, but let me read these other two comments and I'll get to this. Iran will now become more hardline versus the US. This war just made them more extreme. I agree. Yeah, 100%. Uh Charles David said, North Korea has nuclear weapons, right? I wonder why we have not gotten at them before. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 47:54

Oh, that is hey, that's the what's in the room.

SPEAKER_06 47:57

Wait, oh yeah, they oh wait, God, I hate okay. Oh yeah, they don't have anything anyone wants. Good point. Uh, two comments from Mike. So Mike asked you a question, but let me get to his comment.

SPEAKER_07 48:11

Then I'll get to his uh who don't have anything they want. I've missed that one.

SPEAKER_06 48:15

Uh Charles Davis said, Oh yeah, we they don't have anything anyone wants. They is in who, Iran, North Korea, North Korea. That's why ain't nobody to attack North Korea.

SPEAKER_07 48:26

Uh no, I wouldn't say that. I'll come back to that one, but anyway. This is a great conversation.

SPEAKER_06 48:30

Tony, man, go ahead and send your long messages, man. Don't worry about that. Uh comment. Uh, so two more comments, and I want to get to this question, but they're starting to fill up. It's starting to fill up. So it's gonna take me a minute because these ain't coming up like I want them to. Uh Tony Bostick said the problem with Iran having a nuclear weapon is security. You would be basically giving a terrorist a nuke. Terrorists do what they want.

SPEAKER_07 48:54

Um, hold on, more comments.

SPEAKER_06 48:56

I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll be quiet that way. And you still have a question. I ain't got to. Uh, people forgot Iran used to be the Parsons Empire, Parasams, Parasams? I think I'm pronouncing that wrong. And they had they never got conquered for 5,000 years. Uh, they they're well resourced, uh they're well resourced and established. How are we worried about Iran's nuclear program and Israel's program is not even monitored or regulated? Thomas Davis said the nuke issue is bigger than having nukes, they have China back in them. Uh Rob Roller says nukes had or NK, North Korea had nuclear weapons prior to Trump. Ask Clinton and W about that. Uh anti oh man, anti-boy said US Israel are real terrorists. Whoa. Okay, hey, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Hey, look. I still ain't got to your question yet. I want to quickly say let's calm down.

SPEAKER_07 50:11

Shout out to all y'all, man. Perfect. You guys are killing it today. These comments, this is great conversation. Lots of elephants in the room. I'll stop there.

SPEAKER_06 50:22

All right. I'll I want to get to this question, but the I want to get through these questions. Well, there's two more comments, and then I will. Uh appendix says Iran doesn't have a nuke because their previous leader was against it.

unknown 50:36

Hmm.

SPEAKER_06 50:37

There is absolutely nothing that prevents them from buying it from North Korea. They have about four to five warheads book it. Darrell Davis says, What does North Korea have? They have shot numerous weapons towards the U.S. and our Asian allies, but the U.S. has done nothing. We went to go visit them.

SPEAKER_07 50:59

There's a reason for that.

SPEAKER_06 51:00

All right. Uh boom. Mike said, North Korea leaders are different than Iran leaders. North Korea leaders want to live. Iran leaders have religious to religion to fall back on. And finally, his question to you. Now I should have asked that you're right, because now I got fine. All right. Do you want the US in a nuclear war with Iran? I don't think anybody wants that.

SPEAKER_07 51:26

Oh, that's an easy question. No one wants any type of nuclear war with Iran. But I would tell you, God forbid, for one, if no one wins at a nuclear war. But if you were to go off of chances, if Iran went to some kind of a nuclear war with the United States, Iran would lose easily. And what I mean by that is, again, the United States has over 5,000 nuclear weapons. And they have a triad, a triad that can deliver them in three different ways. Even if Iran had a nuclear weapon, at best they could do a smuggler in the United States and detonate it. Or if they to somebody's comment, buy one from North Korea, which would be bad because if a nuclear weapon detonated on U.S. soil or territory and they found out that it came from North Korea, they would be obliterated.

SPEAKER_06 52:22

Yeah. Tony Bosik said we are all terrorists, depending upon your perspective. I good point. Hey, hey. Wrong button, but I agree with that. There you go. That's the button. Uh all right, a lot of comments. Justin Guy, do you think Pakistan hosted fair mediations? Um, what's up?

SPEAKER_07 52:44

What do you mean by fair?

SPEAKER_06 52:46

Yeah, what do you mean by fair? Do you think Pakistan? Oh, just read that. You just said the same thing. You said the same thing five times. All right. Well, we can't get to your question that fast. Yeah, what do you mean by fair? Pennyx said, if one country uses a nuke, now others will. That's very true. That's why it's impossible. I don't want to say impossible, but okay, in World War II, US used one. Uh, was it World War II?

SPEAKER_02 53:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 53:10

Okay, used one because they knew nobody would retaliate. Nobody had one at the time. That's not very controversial.

SPEAKER_07 53:20

That's not entirely let me please let me let me let me comment on that one. Remember, when the United States used the atomic weapon in World War II, even they did not understand how powerful the weapon was. It's been stated many times in history. They had no idea. What was that movie? Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer? Oppenheimer, yeah. So, secondly, to your point about everyone would use a nuke, no, it would take more than that. Hypothetically, if if someone deadon, let's say if India attacks Pakistan or Pakistan attacks India, there's a nuclear exchange there, right? Now, if you flip it, let's say, God forbid, uh, Iran had a nuclear weapon and they went detonated one on U.S. soil. You won't, it's not like the United States is gonna start firing at Russia and China and everybody else. Now, if you flip it, and let's say there was a nuclear exchange, albeit a small one, between Russia and the United States, I can see the potential of the United States sending an exchange to Russia and China because they are they are linked in order to protect themselves. No different than if Russia for some reason was attacked by the United States with a nuclear weapon, Russia would respond to not only the United States, but to England and to France at the same time because they have nuclear weapons.

SPEAKER_06 54:50

So do you think, uh, and just real quick, yes or no, do you think that nukes would just cross?

SPEAKER_07 54:55

What you mean?

SPEAKER_06 54:56

Like, so if we launched one at X Company or X country, and X country had one, they would be able to identify it coming at them. It's not like Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 55:08

So do you think the only thing is it would take time? That's the problem, and that's why that's what I was trying to convey. If if there was an exchange, like a nuclear weapon was launched, they can tell where it came from, but it takes time, they'll detect the launch, they can see where it came from, and then the United States will have a limited time to respond. But think about it. It has never happened in history, but think if you if there have been many cases where there were a false alarm where a country like the Soviet Union during that time or the United States thought there was a nuclear weapon being fired at them and they had to make a split-second decision. You imagine if you do that and you're wrong, you imagine what would happen.

SPEAKER_06 55:57

Justin, a lot of comments on here, so I'll get to all these comments. Pakistan did didn't allow Israel diplomats, and Pakistan also deployed weapons into Saudi Arabia. Okay, Patty Wacker. I think that's how you say 7777. If you didn't, if you didn't know that was World War II, you have no business discussing. I just forgot. I just wanted to ensure. Good list. Uh, there is such a thing as small nuclear exchanges. Okay, Mike. Uh appendix said, uh, no, but the dust will travel. Iran is closer to Russia and China. This dust would travel by wind. The microparticles uh is what's in question. Okay. Justin, what's up, big dog? Uh Mike said Iran is one of the last countries in the world you want processing nuclear weapons. I wouldn't say one last. Uh Devon said we use two nukes. Charles Davis. Uh yeah, we did.

SPEAKER_07 57:04

Uh Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

SPEAKER_06 57:06

That's right. Uh uh, I knew that, uh, whacker. Uh you can agree based on current events,

Israel Iran Terror Labels And History

SPEAKER_06 57:15

Israel is a rogue nation. Commit, I don't know what those words are. That's the extra attack in Lebanon with an hour of ceasefire. I remember that. Yeah, that just happened. Let me read this. All of this is provoked by Israel being surrounded by Arab nations with Iran being the biggest threat. Carthron, what's up, Jonathan? Are you retired yet? But what's up, big dog? Uh, I just don't like how we pick and choose who we can have them and who we or who can have them and who can't. That's what happens when you try to be the bully. Uh, last comment of Charles Davis say it again. Uh, Justin said Iran is also closer to India and Pakistan. All right, you wanted to say something about Charles Davis' comment.

SPEAKER_07 58:05

No, there was a comment about Israel being something. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 58:09

Yeah, Israel's rogue. That was Charles Davis.

SPEAKER_07 58:12

So I just want to put this out there because there's a lot of people that have that same sentiment about Israel being the evil nation that that has nuclear weapons or may not have them. But think about it. If you were a nation that went through the Holocaust and you lost six million people, can you not blame them? And then you're surrounded by enemies in the Middle East. Can you not blame them for having nuclear weapons? But to the comment of Jonathan Carlton, I hope that I pronounced your last name correctly. Carthron. But to your comment, you're right. Who do we get off by saying who can have them, who can't? Like we know Iran is not friendly to us, nor is North Korea, nor is Russia, nor is China. So in Iran, they look at it as like, yo, we need insurance. But somebody made the comment earlier. You're right. Iran is different than North Korea. North Korea wants to live. The Iranians are more religious. I won't call them fanatics. Let's just say they have a deep hatred for Western philosophy.

SPEAKER_06 59:26

Can you read this comment? I'm getting bashed about how I'm reading comments. So thanks, Mike.

SPEAKER_07 59:32

Uh hold on, hold on. All right. Eliminate traits ability to process and ship oil from their island and their economy. Oh, I think he meant eliminate. Eliminate Iran's ability to process and ship oil from their island and their economies no more. I agree. But think about how they've been able, this war has cost yo. I paid five dollars. It was five dollars a gallon to fill my challenger up. Over 90 bucks. This the war economy-wise is hurting the American people more than Iran.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:13

It is this dude said black lives magga.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:18

Okay, I don't understand that one. Because all lives magga. Okay, hey, hey, hey, everyone's welcome here. I don't understand what that means, but everybody's welcome.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:27

And make sure you sub up while you do that. Make sure you put a sub in there.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:31

No, yeah, put a sub in there. Yeah, yeah. Uh Charles Davis says your friend today could be your enemy tomorrow. We have seen this Iraq and now Iran. Jenna Jonathan says, Charles Davis, say that again. I agree. Um, only thing is I would argue Iran's already been our enemy.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:49

That's a so pulse, pulse, pulse, uh, pulses, whatever. Uh, that's a good comment. You can't negotiate with terrorists. Great comment.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:00

Yeah, that is true.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:01

It's hard, it's very hard to do that. Iran leaders eat uh all right, relax. Uh, what is your uh opinion? Uh what is your opinion upon Hezbollah? No, I take it back. Do you guys think Iran are terrorists, though? I think that I well, I think back to Charles Davis' point, anybody could be a terrorist.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:26

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:26

Yeah, so it's all your perspective.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:29

I see Iran as a regime that does not like the United States hegemony, hegemony. I think I'm pronouncing it wrong. They don't like the U.S. influence in the Middle East. And that's why they're unfriendly with us. Just like North Koreans, they don't like the United States influence in Asia. The North Koreans have been trying to unify South Korea for decades. And the only reason why they haven't been able to do it is because of the United States. No different than Russia. The Russians have been trying to get the majority of Eastern Europe under their foot, but they can't. You know why? Because of the United States. So if you look at it, most people don't like us because we prevent them from doing what they want to do, which goes back to World War I and World War II. When we sat on the side of the ocean and we did nothing, look what happened. World War I and World War II, which is the reason why the United States got more involved after World War II and started putting bases across the globe. You know why? Because we ended up being a policeman. But the problem being the policemen is we do it under our own ideals. In other words, it's whatever you know how they say U.S. interests. The problem is most people don't like U.S. interests. That's why most people in the world don't like us because we get involved. And here's another provocative point, real quick. Think about China and Taiwan. For those who don't know, the reason why China wants Taiwan is not just because of microchips. They don't want Taiwan, not because the United States is like their de facto friend. But the folks who went to Taiwan back in the day when it was called Formosa, it was the same group led by Chiang Kai-shek who was involved with Mao in a civil war in China. They lost and they migrated to Formosa. They ended up becoming Taiwan. So really, Taiwan is a part of China in China's eyes. And so the reason why they haven't been able to take Taiwan back for decades is because of the United States. So think about it. Wouldn't you be pissed if your enemy is living on your border and you can't take them back because somebody else?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:53

Mike said North Korea has nukes because American presidents turned a blind eye and didn't have the guts to stop it. Iran should we stop before they get them? No.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:05

I disagree with that.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:07

Iran was a dictator. Iran used to be more westernized country before the first Alatoa, I think I'm pronouncing that wrong, came into power. Appendix said a terrorist is just a label. Your terrorist is someone's fight, freedom fighter. Justin said, Why do most countries in today's time choose China over the United States?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:39

That's a hey, that's a great question.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:49

Can't pronounce that word. Yep, DC, it's it is bigger than the Holocaust. Holocaust. Let's remember, let's remember that certain Jews authorized our authorities viewed Jews as a threat and supported his removal. DC. Iran was once a friend of the United States. The biggest embassy was once in Tehran. I think I'm pronouncing it wrong. Tehran. Uh, and had decades of friendship in the 50s through the 70s. Friends today is your enemies tomorrow. Mike, Iran has a proxy over the world doing their fighting for them. They teach them and they fund them. Don't disagree with that. No North Korea has nukes because China gave them to them. Story of Pakistan. Alright, there we go. That's all the comments. Finish that up.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:50

Charles made a great point. He is right. They there were at there wasn't one time that Iran was Tyran.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:58

Thank you, Justin.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:00

It was one point that Iran was our our friend. But that's the same for a lot of countries. There was a one time when we were friends with we were enemies with England. And then they became our friends. With one time we were enemies with uh we were friends with Afghanistan during the Soviet Afghan war. And then they became our enemies. I mean, look at Japan now. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying the same for Japan. Thank you. Same for Germany. So I'm not trying to dismiss your comment, Charles. All I'm saying is for Israel, Israel has been in a position in history known as next to slavery. The largest like uh event that happened against a race of people, six million Jews killed in the Holocaust. And if you remember, after World War II, the United States, well, the the Allies brokered a deal for the Israel to have their own country. And so when they got there in the Middle East, there's a perspective, it's always been a perspective about evil, how you know Jewish people being evil because of the the point that Charles made about Jesus Christ as being a threat and all the other stuff. But all I'm saying is, I'm not saying they're right. All I'm saying is you can't blame them for wanting to protect themselves. No different than Iran having a perspective that the United States is a threat, or North Korea thinking the United States is a threat.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:26

Charles, my internet is buffering. Uh Philly, how many more subscribers y'all need to get Pete hooked on Phoenix and script? We need about we need about, let me check it. Let me check it. Oh 50 more. Yeah, no, we only need 70 more. 70 more. That's it. And I'll go ahead and get that. Freaking flopping hater. Uh Mike said then why is everyone buying and selling with the United States if they have chosen Russia or China?

SPEAKER_07 1:07:59

Ah. Because it's because people, we're in a position in history where this is not, it's not broadcast as a Cold War, but it is. People gotta pick sides. The writing's on the wall. You have two different sides. You have China and you have the United States. People gotta pick.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:20

And as it stands now, but not by a long shot now, but as it stands, the United States still has the number one economy, but that lead is diminishing quickly.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:31

Can you read Jonathan's comment on Facebook?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:34

Uh hold on, I gotta refresh my page. Hold on, stand by one second.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:38

Justin said, Mike, uh only the countries that make the news are buying. All right, go ahead.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:46

Jonathan says Iran is one of the last places on earth, not on a central banking system. They're a threat because we don't benefit from them from a U.S. standpoint. If the U.S. can't control or benefit from a country, they are a threat. That is some truth to that. Dominic, I'm still in and I'm debating on when they hit the button and hang it up.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:08

We put out four episodes on retirement, so you can go back and watch those and we kind of help you through that if that's what you're thinking about doing. Justin said, uh, if you look at the biggest trade partners of every country, it's China. I think they're one of the biggest. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:27

And they're all interconnected. Everybody's interconnected.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:31

Uh Charles Davis said, Can I get in on reading comments? You pay me in peanuts because Pete sounds like

BRICS And The Dollar Question

SPEAKER_06 1:09:40

eight tracks. What you know by eight-tracks? Tony Boss. Tony Boss is that you better pay attention to what is that? I don't know what that is.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:50

Yeah, Bricks. That's the um the it's it's a currency. Tony, help me off on wrong. But BRICS is like a a certain type of currency that deals with like uh China, Russia, India, or something like that. It's similar to what they do in the European Union.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:11

Yeah, I'm not sure. I've been saying BRICS for years. Uh uh, I don't know what the heck that is. Uh, Brazilian, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Oh, that's what BRICS stands for.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:31

It's like a new new digital currency. So, like Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:37

Uh let's see how it works. The unit is designated as a blanket of currency. Brazilian, real China, da da da da da da. And gold. It allows for digital clearing of transactions and international trade, reducing the need to hold U.S. territory. Oh, so they're just trying to get rid of the US altogether.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:58

Hmm. Can you read this comment right here?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:03

I never uh hi hi what. Hey, first of all, welcome to the show, brother. And make sure you sub up. But you said y'all ever heard of Dr. Gerald Holm? He does a regular show talking about international U.S. politics on activist news networks. And he said Bricks is not like Bitcoin. Ha ha. Did I say Bitcoin? I said Bitcoin. I said Bitcoin. Okay. Hey, good good comment. Hi, what no? I never heard of Gerald Holm. Can you give us a quick synopsis of some of the stuff that he's talked about? I have never watched them now.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:35

Yeah, Tommy Boss says multiple countries coming together to create its own world currency. I think they're kind of clever.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:41

They tried this before. But see, you know, the thing is thanks for the sub. Yeah, thanks for the sub, brother. Oh yeah. Hey, so the thing is they can try all they want, but the only way the United States is gonna be um it's gonna be removed is the key is China or a conflict that decimates the United States economy. That's the only way. The United States is just still too powerful. Now I will argue this administration is making it easier. Because remember, the United States, not the United States is the only country in the world that has economic influence, political influence, military influence. It has all of it. And it has uh what's the word? I can't remember. But we have influence across the world. When you go to these countries like Russia and China, they're wearing American jeans. They're dressing like Americans, the Japanese are. Maybe even the Middle East, even for folks who are oppressed in the Middle East, they want what Americans have as far as like freedom. They just may not understand or like the things that we do, but they want the same freedoms the United States has. And that's why we're so powerful.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:58

Okay, reading uh reading these comments, Rob Roller says, trying to form their own currency to counter the US dollar. Thomas White said it's a monetary alliance to try to replace the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Charles Davis said, DC, can I get the AI, the AI prompt? Uh Tony Bosix thinks Tony Bossax thinks it will destroy the US dollar. Hmm. Jonathan said, control the world's oil supply, you controls the world currency.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:30

Yeah, that's true. But the only thing is the United States, they've talked about the other day. The United States has enough oil flow that we've been able to, it don't feel like it at the pumps.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:38

Yeah, what about the reserves? So, what do you think about that old drill baby drill? Do you think that's working?

SPEAKER_07 1:13:50

I guess I can't really speak. I'm not sure if that's the reason why, but I was surprised when I heard that story too. I was like, well, why we you know, part of the other thing, his okay, here I'm going on a rant. I'll just quickly say this. One thing I will say is interesting is that I believe this administration is trying to look out for the United States, but it's in the wrong reasons. This this uh idea of expansionism to Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, it all deals with resources. When people think about you know controlling the world, it's more than just money and military, it's resources. When you have the resources, you have people by the Hai Wat, let's see, I hope I'm pronouncing the name right, brother. Says Horn was a Panther back in the day. Is that Black Panther? And he's written like 50 books about all sorts of topics. I recommend starting with Counter-Revolution of 1776 and then 1836, then the White Pacific book. There it is. All right, I'll take a look at it, bro. All right, you want to move on? Great comments, man. Great. Yeah, perfect. It was great. This is great, bro. So y'all continue to add comments if you like, but we're gonna move on quickly to the next topic because we we took a lot of time on this one, which is fine, but we're gonna move on to this one.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:19

Yeah, maybe we don't have to read too many more comments, so help me out. Appreciate that.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:23

Let's let's let's move on, okay. Um, you want to go to your topic?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:27

Well, uh, what was the what was the other topic? I already wrote it down and I can't even see it.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:32

I got I was gonna talk about property taxes that's related to the war, and you was gonna talk about the senior NCO cat.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:39

Okay, let's just go on to the senior NCO, have some fun, break this up a little bit.

Senior NCOA Uniform Photo Roast

SPEAKER_06 1:15:43

Uh all right. So, if y'all don't know, uh a couple months ago, senior NCOA posted their graduation photos on their website for all to see. So you can go on the senior NCO page and look at the graduation photos. One of my boys was graduating while we were looking at the photos. I saw a bunch of discrepancies in the senior NCO uh pictures. Well, well, to no surprise, they have done it again, they have done it again. Senior NCOA has posted their pictures. I have only seen a few of these, I have not seen all of them, but my popular demand is back, so we will hold this segment for the senior NCOA debacle. Debacle. So let me go ahead and put this on the screen so y'all can see it, so uh everybody can see it. Uh, let me get Philly so he can see it. And we're just gonna talk about these. And the reason I get so upset, man, these are our senior NCOAs. This is our senior NCOA graduation photo. So we got three gentlemen, one, two, three, right here. If you don't see, let me go ahead and zoom in a little bit, see if I can zoom in some. Oh oh, I'm zooming out.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:00

Let me zoom in. Hitting the wrong dame button.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:07

Is this the one on IG that you saw, or is this another one?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:10

Is this the one what?

SPEAKER_07 1:17:12

The one I showed you on IG that we got from one of our men.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:16

Nah, I didn't see that one. I'm just going through their pictures right now. But let me zoom in right here. So we got three gentlemen, their pants sizes, but you're supposed to have one break in your pants, not five breaks. Come on, bro. This can't be real. This is real. This is real. Here's an instructor. I don't know who this guy is, but he's more put together than them. What are you doing, bro? This it's like who is looking at your uniform? You see their stripes, this is a senior mass art. He hasn't changed his blues since basic training. And we're just going through the photos. Like, this is in no particular order. I'm just looking at him. Just looking at it. Let's go to the next one. Oh, this is them again. I don't know who these gentlemen are. Marines, I don't know what their uniform standard. I know his pants are a different color.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:04

He needs a milk.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:06

His pants are a totally different color. Troy, that was my instructor. Well, Troy needs to get his goddamn troops together. Why I think this is Marines. It couldn't, and maybe it's not Marines. I'm not sure. Uh, it looks Marine Corps. I don't know why his pants are a different color. Uh, my man, he's in the Navy, don't know too much about Navy. And then the Commandant, man, he always looks squared away. So shout out to the command. I don't know why everybody else ain't squared away, but I'll just be honest. If y'all want to, hey, if y'all want to tag him up, look, like all these people look good. First impression.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:45

Ronnie said that's the army.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:47

Oh, that's the army. Well, why does their pants look different? Why is their pants look different? Oh. That's the army. So the army service dress has different pants?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:04

If anybody knows their instructor, props to them. Uh yeah, everybody, uh we got some pants problems again. These pants are causing people problem.

But I'm harping on that you're it you can't look in the mirror and say, I look good today and walk out. You can't. There's no way. There's no way you looked in the mirror before you walked out.

Do I dare offer after your assessment? You grant a de facto award or kudos to the one that you saw with the best uniform.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:53

Yeah, we could do that. We could do that. Let me let me go through the rest. She has every accoudament given by man.

So there was one I saw. Let me get to the one I saw. I think the young lady, I know where she's at, so I'm How'd I miss this? Oh, I thought she had too many buttons.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:22

Alright, never mind. Alright. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Okay, I thought she had the wrong service coat on.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:35

I almost lost it. I thought she had a male service coat on. Alright. Let me get to the one I saw that uh gets the award for the uh the best uniform. In my opinion, in my opinion. Uh I should have just got to when I saw it. Uh where was she over here? There she is. There she is. This is my award for the best blues uniform right here. Can you zoom in on her? This is the tightest I can zoom in. Oh, okay. Maybe I could uh let me see. Nope. I mean, that's the tightest I could zoom in right there. But this is my award for best uniform, y'all. Y'all let me know. Yeah, there we go. So maybe. Now, if I was an instructor, I'd give your ass paperwork for not making sure everybody else had the same tight uniform. That's uh senior NCOA, y'all. This is our senior, our newest senior NCOAs. Jesus Christ. Jesus effing Christ. Our newest senior NCOA.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:47

This is our top hurts.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:50

This is our top three percent. This is our top three percent, y'all. Top three. Oh man, don't see ain't seniors top three percent of the of the enlisted force. Seniors are top two percent. Sorry, even worse. Sorry, it's top two percent. Top two percent, even worse. All right, I'm done. I'm off of senior and coa. Sorry, sorry, but I ain't sorry. You're you should be sorry to me. That's really what it is. You should be apologizing to us. Whoever the instructor is, if you want to get on here, uh come on here and you can defend your senior and coa all you want. I will just post the pictures and I want you to explain it.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:30

That's fair, and that's fair. Open invitation, yeah. That's fair. Wow, how the F does that happen? Yeah, how Swayne. Yes, how goodness gracious. We know the answers. Tony take a few steps back to go.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:55

All right, I'm done.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:56

Gooch says they have to give this segment to the academy where peer pressure is real. Thomas White says, Good thing my class was virtual. Hey, so Gooch, I'll tell you full transparency. I had somebody from the academy reach reach out to me the first time about it, and they actually thanked us for bringing it to light. But apparently, this didn't work, unfortunately. Do you think but do you think um that's realistic? Um do you think it should be is this is realistic for them to catch everybody performing fraction?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:35

Senior and COA is not an hour long, it is five weeks. Davis, or somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's five weeks. I somebody correct me if I'm wrong. You wear your uniform multiple combinations multiple times during that. I know because I was in freaking uh first sergeant academy right next door, right now, and they were in blues more than we were. But yes, if you care, don't post like I said, do it in OCPs from now on.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:07

You can't actually I agree with that one.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:10

You can't mess that up if you look that in freaking blues, do it in OCPs. You ain't gotta iron them. Just show up, cut like church, come as you are.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:23

Come as you are.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:25

Do you think that this issue is uh is big enough where it will require them to do a more uh a more stringent look or evaluation of their uniforms before they graduate? Do you think this is blown out of proportion?

SPEAKER_06 1:37:42

No, I think um I think I don't think I'm blowing it up enough, to be honest. I'm trying to be funny but be realistic at the same time to keep y'all entertained, but at the same time, it is freaking ridiculous. Hey, Eric, you went to First Sergeant Academy with us. How many times did we look pause, look each other over in uniform, make sure we were squared away? How many times did instructors make sure we were squared away? And here's the kicker, DC. And I'm surprised that you're not more upset. As a senior master sergeant, because you have to go to school to put on senior. So I would think about 80-90% of the people will put on senior or already have it on, you should have some self-accountability. F the instructors, F the course, you should have some damn self-accountability. How do you look in the mirror before you make sure, oh, my ribbons are straight? Oh, my name tags on the right side, and you look like shit. Tony Renee said, Don't give them any ideas for the next class. Oh, she must be in the next class. Every time we put blue, yeah, Jay said it. Every time we put blues on, we inspected each other, and the instructor made a comment.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:03

Gooch says, I'm on the P train with this one. I want, I want, I went to the Marine Corps advanced course. They didn't play that ish.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:11

And I'm not saying send them home, but you are in class long enough. And somebody let me know how long senior and COA is.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:17

I think it's five weeks, but I think it's about six, seven weeks.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:21

Okay, but you are in class long enough to get that thing. The word for today is tailored. That's the word for tailored.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:36

You are in the word for the day is tailored. Taylor, get the uniform, tailored, tailored, go to the cleaner, get it, tailored. Okay, make sure you tell them get your measurements done so you don't look like file object athlete and get profile on UPC out to you.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:08

Make sure I make the short for that. That I mean, it is just bananas. Bananas, Tony Bosicks. Hell no. All right, thank you. Uh uh, Gene. Six weeks long. Six weeks long. Six, six, and I get word for the day is Taylor Pete. You are you are freaking unbelievable. No, I'll be in the honest. You I and somebody correct me, Gene. If you already been to the course, don't first day you show up in blues, or at least first week with that prince.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:44

Don't first week you show up in blues? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:50

And for the instructors to all look decent or or well put together with their uniform, how the hell is your class of 12 not? I'm not saying this is the commandant's fault. I feel like I'm repeating myself. It's not the commandant's fault. He can only keep up with what he can keep up with. It's your fault for not having your instructor. I guarantee you, if you were the commandant, once this went out and you saw this, you would have the instructors in your office saying, What in the hell?

SPEAKER_07 1:41:20

I would uh here's my thing. I I would gather to say that he did that. The problem is is the execution. Because you can I'm sure there was a conversation, I'm almost positive it was. But you know how you you have you know how they teach you about uh change management, you know, you do the unfreezing, freezing or something like that. So, in other words, I'm sure there was a conversation. Well, what was done afterward? Because it was quite some time since you did the last one, and again, I go back to people are so excited about graduation, they just want to get out of there.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:57

So they probably not really looking at it, and I guarantee I get that as well, but it is your job as instructors, it is your job. So uh Gene says, uh, I went to the CG Academy. What's CG? Oh, that's interesting. Okay, uh, we wore blues three to four days a week. Okay, that's a little extreme. That's a little, I mean, I don't even know how you do that, but that's a little extreme. I ain't got that many blues combinations to wear three, four days a week. That's a little extreme. But uh yeah, man, I just it's just embarrassing. That's that's that's the best way I can say it. It's this is two classes in a row. Two classes in a row. They're a month, they're a month apart. It shouldn't matter the occasion your blues should be on point on a random Wednesday. Hey, Tony Renee, I agree, I agree, but I have some grace for people. You know, some days, you know, your blues just ain't together and just always, you know, happens during that time. Or you put in the cleaners two months ago, uh, and you ain't took it out since it's just been hanging in the closet. Like, I I get that, I get that. Uh, and here's my last thing. Here's my last thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:09

It ain't like you knew like senior NCOA was a some surprise. It ain't like they just said, Wake up, you're going to senior NCOA anymore.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:26

You Ben knew about this. It ain't like you got there and they just said, guess what? Blues inspection. What happened when uh uh what's his name? Chief Wolf came down and said SSR for everyone.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:46

What happened?

SPEAKER_06 1:43:52

Justice said, No to sell my uniforms to the alterations to get them every gone before I go to see your COA.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:02

As a reminder, the word of the day is Taylor.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:09

I'm like, bruh, bruh, Fritz said, listen, they knew not to promote me uh because they would all be written up. That's my thing. Like, I'm not saying don't let them graduate because I don't think it's that severe. I don't think it's that severe. But what I will say, you ain't gonna be my guy. You know who we're taking pictures with? We have five people in the picture. Five different times. That's the only people in the picture. Hey, how come your class only had three people? Because the rest of y'all look like it's amazing how all they can make it to the damn barber shop, but an alterations is usually right next to the barbershop.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:58

How do you walk by alterations and be like, nah, I'm good. But I need to go get my hair cut.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:10

You don't graduate until it's fixed. I agree. No, I agree with him.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:15

I agree. Great, I agree. You don't get the walk. Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:22

She said, Prince said, No, I'm saying that. Because no ma'am, no sir. Tony Renee said, not taking a picture, uh, not taking a picture is not good enough. It's not good enough, but at least I won't find out. You'll be the only one who knows. And now you, you and God can talk about it. Talk about how the class looks like trash. I I won't know. All right,
