Division in the Middle East

to that also in just a moment. Then here's your warning right off the bat, there's going to be some Israel Iran and it's gonna more focus on America, the split in Trump's government with the base, and that we're gonna focus more on that aspect of it. I'm aware that missiles are currently raining down on Tel Aviv and things like that. I'm aware of what Iran said, which I will update you all on. But yes, there's gonna be some Iran Israel talk in the first hour, and

I don't know if we'll come back to that. Like I have told you before. I am not wearing a flak jacket in the middle of Tel Aviv. I am not a war correspondent and don't want to be. I am going to sift through information as it comes in, and I can't do that live on the air. So there is your warning. There'll be some talk in the first hour, and then we'll moving on to the things I'm much more passionate about, and that would be things

right here at home. Before we get into any of that, longtime listeners of the show will know this is something we believe in very deeply here. Honoring the fallen, honoring people who serve this country and give their lives for this country is a big deal to us. It always has been, it always will be Medal of Honor Monday all that. But those who die during training, military training, or I should even I should include non combat things. It has always bothered me that that person rarely gets

any honors nationally. You honor the guy who grabs his rifle and charges a machine gun nest that guy gets honored. But the guy who was serving in a combat zone, who his truck drove off a bridge and he ended up drowning in a river. He gave his life to his country too, people who died during training. Training. Military training is dangerous. It can kill you. Somebody listening to the sound of my voice right now has lost somebody in military training. And you don't get headlines for it.

You don't get a national celebration of it. Chief Warrant Officer to Dustin K. Wright. He was with one hundred and first Combat Aviation Brigade, US Army. He lost his life pilot, helicopter pilot Apache, I believe, but Chopper went down training mission. He is gone. Is he less heroic than the guy who charged the machine gun nest? He was willing to charge the same nest. But he's gone now. Because helicopters, let alone military ones. Helicopters can be wonderful

and they can be very, very dangerous things. And when helicopters, when something goes wrong on them and they fall out of the sky, they don't have the option of gliding to a highway somewhere and attempting to put her down. They tend to drop like stones. And if you're in one, that's all she wrote for you. And this hero deserves to be honored, and he most definitely deserves taps to be played in his honors her rest in peace. Brother.

All right, to the other thing that I need to get out of the way before we talk Israel Iran. Maybe I bet you even heard about it during the commercial break right before the show came on. Christine Nome, DHS Secretary Christy Nome was rushed to a hospital in DC. We now have an update. Allergic reaction. Okay, she's fine, there's nothing life threatening. There was no assassination attempt, So don't panic. Christy Nome is gonna be just fine. All right,

all right, now, let's discuss what's happening right now. For the latest, I say the latest, and this is going to be the last update you're gonna get, like minute by minute update, I would say. An hour ago, Iranian state media put out this statement quote, there is a surprise tonight that the world will remember for centuries. Between that ominous statement and the fact that we have American troops heading that way, is real launching missions as we speak.

There are missiles raining down on Tel Aviv. When you combine all of these things, what it creates is panic and fear in the minds of people. Maybe you are experiencing this as we speak, maybe you are half listening to the sound of my voice, or maybe you're listening with baited breath, dying for the latest updates. Is this World War III? Is everything coming to an end? What it's going on? Let me first before we dig into things, remind you again, and I'm probably gonna remind you again tonight.

In war truth is the first casualty. That's a saying much older than you and I. In war truth is the first casualty. It has been this way forever, it is this way now, and it will always be this way. There are different interests in different countries, multiple different interests in whatever country you're in, all competing to win the propaganda war, to win the hearts and minds. You should think that, you should say that, you should feel that avat and so in the end, here's what happens is

normal people, normal people. You end up watching the news, scrolling through social media, and every time you turn it on, oh my gosh, a missile just saying that's a dead school kid. I don't understand. But calm down. There is always a new thing going on on the planet, and lord knows America is going to be involved in it. Every single time there is one. There's always a new video. Sometimes it's fake, sometimes it's real, sometimes it's old, sometimes

it's propaganda. So there's always something you can doom scroll on and work yourself into a tizzy over. And you should not do that. Do not allow your self, your happiness, your contentment, to be robbed by things completely out of

your control. If you spend the next three, four or five hours tonight before you go to bed, consuming every bit of war video and war headlines you can possibly get, and then go lay down to sleep at night, and you stay there tossing and turning for another two or three hours because you can't get things off your mind, you screwed up. Don't do that, put it down, walk away from it. If it's bothering you. There's always something new.

And tomorrow, after we've had a chance to digest what is true, what is not, what was bunk information, what was accurate information, twenty four hours from now, you and me, we will meet right here again to digest what happened twenty four hours ago. We are not going to work ourselves up in a tizzy on everything happening right now. That said, it's very obvious that we are in very

in and this is going to create some division. Let's discuss that division a Jesse Kelly Show on an incredible Tuesday. Remember you can email the show Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. First, that's before we get to our domestic coalition and the divide between you and other people who are at who are your allies, the divide inside of Trump's cabinet. Let's get to this momentum. Momentum is one of those things

that's very difficult to quantify. Nobody in the history of the world has successfully come up with the ultimate formula on how to create it. But what many of us, but I'm sure what you can do, is we recognize it when we see it, don't we. Have you ever watched a game where your team was winning, whatever kind of game it was, baseball, football, doesn't matter. Basketball, your team is winning, you have the lead. If the game ended at right this moment, you're going to win, and

yet you know you're going to lose. You had a twenty point lead in basketball, and in the last five minutes they've scored fifteen points. It's down to five, and there's still five minutes left in the game. You're still ahead, you're five points ahead. You know you probably can win. But you're watching it and you know we've already lost. Why because you see momentum. You can see it. The United States of America, we are most definitely getting involved

in the Israel Iran war. Momentum says we're getting involved. You can sniff it. As soon as we started moving large quantities of equipment over to that area. That shows you this is where the momentum is going. And then you started to hear things from Donald Trump. We gave him sixty days. I tried to make a deal, tried to do this. Now we're getting statements like this from Donald Trump today. Quote, we know exactly where the so called Supreme Leader is hiding. He's an easy target, but

is safe there. We are not going to take him out, at least not yet. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patients is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter. You know what the really important statement is there? What really important sentence. It's not the first or the last one. You know how we've been saying as a country, Hey, this is between Israel and Iran, but don't touch our troops. Don't

touch our troops. You've heard Rubio put out a statement saying that Pete Haggs had to put out a statement saying that Trump basically said the same thing. Keep your hands off our troops. Keep your hands off our troops. Well, it looks like someone else got that special protection. So we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American troops. Well, what's that tell you? Donald Trump is no fool. Everybody can everyone with two eyes can see. Iran does not

have the advanced targeting capability. They don't have the intelligence capability of Israel or America. They don't have the ability to precisely target people specific things. They can't do it. It would be more similar to I realize it's slightly more accurate than this because their missiles, But it would be more similar to the bombing from World War Two where you would fly overhead and yes you have a target, and yes you can drop all these bombs, but wind

and I have a variety of factors. Mean they're gonna land all over the place. That's what Iran has. Yeah, they might have a bunch of missiles, but they don't. They can't really control anything. So what do they do. They just fire a bunch of missiles at Tel Aviv. Wherever they land, they land, what's going to happen? Savellians are gonna die. Like I said, right when the show was starting out, they'd landed like twenty twenty five of

them in Tel Aviv. I'm sure they got somebody. The American President flat out came out and said, any civilians and it's on, we can come get you. We the United States of America, We're going to be involved. We already are involved to some extent. There's no question Israel doesn't take a step like they took without America's permission, And anyone telling you otherwise has no idea how foreign

politics works. Israel believes they exist under the protection of America, that they are able to function surrounded by their enemies because of the constant threat that America will step in and help if they're attacked. But like any other relationship, this kind of relationship comes with strings. If you will, the strings are going to be, Hey, you want Big Daddy's military, then you need Big Daddy's permission before you

go spouting off against somebody or something. Netta Yah who never launches that strike the other night against Iran without Donald Trump's approval. Now I know what you're thinking. Donald Trump came out and said we had nothing to do with this. Member Marco Rubio put out a statement that night and said this had nothing to do with us, even I think he even alluded to basically we didn't

even know. That's a complete lie. As I was pointing out earlier, don't get caught up in what anyone is saying, because I'm here to give it to you right between the eyes. America will lie a lot during this Our military will lie, our intelligence services will lie, our media will lie, Donald Trump will lie, Marco Rubio will lie, Israel will lie during this Netanyaho will lie, their media will lie, their intelligence service will lie. Iran will lie

during this. Intelligence lying, the Ayahtola he'll lie. The military will lie. Because everybody lies during a war, the good guys, the bad guys, who you're rooting for, who you're rooting against, they all lie, and they all spend a great deal of time pointing out the lies of the other side. But here's what you need to know about every single war that's ever been fought. They are all lying at all times, and this is all geared at public opinion.

Every leader, no matter what country he's in, if you're a Supreme leader of Iran or president of the United States, every single one of them understands they only exist in their seat as long as the public approves of it. And so the ongoing propaganda war is aimed at you, just except that they're all lying. Now, let's discuss the

division in our party, our country, our coalition. Day the Jesse Kelly Chow on a Tuesday, kind of a wild Tuesday, giving you about another thirty minutes of Israel Iran talk at the Max, and then we're moving off. I want to talk about things domestically. Now, Let's talk about some of the divisions on our side over all this, because we are very clearly going to get involved in this whole thing. Let's focus on Trump's cabinet, shall we? Couple months ago wasn't long? I think this was March if

I remember, I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. Taulca Gabbard member TAULCA Gabbard is the Director of National Intelligence. You know what that means. Technically, TAULSA Gabbard is in charge of every American Intelligence Agency. She is in charge of it all. That's a big, big, big deal. There's no super secret mission out there that she is not aware of. There's no one intelligence that's kept from her. That's a lie. But at least there shouldn't be intelligence

that's kept from her. Tausa Gabbard sat in front of Congress and she said this.

nuclear powers. Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families.

the audio as best he could. Trump was asked about that. Here's what he said. Do you personally think that they were to getting one? Because Tulsia Gabbard Tulsea Gabbarts has to quite in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a new Here what she said, I think you word clost.

Trump intends to go all in. Combine that with this little fact, and I'll give you a little prediction that I don't know, it may may come true before the show's over tonight. Combine that with this fact, Donald Trump was meeting with the G seven leaders. Donald Trump abruptly left that meeting. It's obvious to everyone that he left that meeting to convene with his national security people. Guess who wasn't invited. This reporting came out today. Taulsey Gabbard

did DNI. The Director of National Intelligence was not invited to the meeting where all the military and intelligence people were meeting. So Chris, go ahead and write this one down. Brother, Taulsey Gabbard will not be DNI for very much longer. How that actually will play out, I don't know. It will depend on a couple different things. It will depend on how angry Trump is with her. It'll depend on how angry she is she is with him, and that

includes her ambitions. What are they does Tulci Gabber view her current post as the last one she ever wants in the government. She obviously believes in this non intervention stuff pretty strongly. And if you combine that with the fact that she thinks this is her last post of the government. I don't know, and I don't know her. I don't know that's what she thinks. But if that's what she thinks, Taulca Gabbard very likely may quit in

a huff. And then if she quits in a huff, she very well maybe bouncing around the various media stations telling everybody that Donald Trump is a vicious warmonger controlled by the Jews. I mean, you might be getting at both barrels. If she's politically ambitious and she knows she can't really return to the Democrat Party, maybe her maybe her combined with Trump, maybe they come to the summer

to some agreement where she, you know, she resigns. And of course she'll resign for the same reason everyone in politics resigns. I just want to spend more time with my family, which is always a lot of these people hate their families. I'm not saying she does, but it's generally a lie. They just all put out the same boiler plate statement to make themselves look like decent people and not the sociopathic nut jobs they really are. I

just really want to spend time with my wife. The guys haven't seen his wife in three years, so you never know what it's going to be. So I'm not making a prediction on the details, but Talsy Gabbard is not long for the Trump administration that you can write down. I have no intelligence on this. You should know. I have not had a single source leak this to me. But just like we just discussed in the very beginning,

you can see momentum, can't you. You have the very doubvish DNI heading up intelligence for the president who has made the determination to start dropping bombs on Iran. Donald Trump announced yesterday that Tehran should have accuate. Just digest that for a moment. The American president told the people of the biggest Iranian city that they need to get out now. Donald Trump has already mentally committed himself. He's

in the United States of America is in. We are not spending all that time and money sending carrier groups over there so they can cruise around and watch the Israelis have all the fun. Trust me, he's in now. This obviously is going to create a rift inside of not just his cabinet. This is going to create a rift inside of what is known as the Maga Coalition,

the coalition that elected Donald Trump. So let's discuss that, because I realized that is stressing a lot of people out that all of a sudden, you have this Trump voter who's all in, yes, kill all the Iranians, and then you the other Trump voter who says, no, no more foreign intervention, no more regime change, no more foreign wars. Jesse Kelly's Show and a wonderful, Wonderful Tuesday. Member. You can email the show Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com.

One more is all you're getting on this Iran Israel stuff, and then we're moving on. I want to talk about other things. It's not going to dominate my show. And like I said a bunch before, I'm not a war correspondent. So here's what I want to address is the domestic Trump coalition, because the coalition of Donald Trump, the coalition of people who elected Donald Trump, is very, very very divided on this issue the country itself. This is what is this? You gove? You? Gov did a pull overall?

They asked Americans, should we get involved in the war overall? Sixty to sixteen. No, that's a lot Republicans. Where do Republicans fall? Fifty three to twenty three? No? What about Trump's voters in particular, fifty three to nineteen. No. Now here's what we have to understand about coalitions, And it's an obvious point, but we should talk about it. It takes different coalitions that have different passions, and we need

those coalitions coming together to elect a president. It takes different coalitions coming together to elect an American president, and they come together because they realize there is at least some amount of overlap, there is an acceptable amount of overlap with their values and the other values from the different coalitions. But here's the rub in all that I've watched it my whole life, and I'm watching it happen

right now. Every single part of well, every single different coalition that elects an American president, every one of them believe they are the most important coalition. They believe the president would not be there if it was not for them, and therefore they believe that their particular interests should be served the most because they are, of course the most important coalition, and Donald Trump wouldn't be there without me. For instance, what kind of people came together to elect

Donald Trump? Well, borderhawks me, I'll tell you one of the main reasons I voted for Donald Trump. He's tougher on the border than anyone else Donald Trump. That was a big thing for me. Maybe you're a tax person, understandable, I believe taxes should be low. That's a coalition. Maybe that's your main thing. Maybe you're more cultural, more social, maybe abortion for you, you believe in the life of the unborn. You think Donald Trump was more pro life than Kamala Harris.

Boom got your vote. Maybe you're a gun guy a gun girl. Is Donald Trump perfect? Don guns? Of course, not way better than Kamala Harris. You bet voting for Trump. There are a bunch of different coalitions that came together and agreed that Donald Trump was better for their interests than Kamala Harris than the Democrat Party was. And now all parts of that coalition believe that their views on Israel Iran should be the ones that are most listened to,

because without them, Donald Trump wouldn't ever be elected. But here's the truth. When you come together as a coalition, you are going to be underserved with some of the things you care about, and you understand that when you come together, you're going to get some of the things you like, and you're not going to get all of the things you like. For me, so far, I would rank Donald Trump two point zero as a solid B

plus president. Easily can move into an A. Easily could move into a C. We have to see where it goes. He secured the border, that's huge for me. He is deporting as many people as the courts as the current system allows. That's enormous for me. He has tried to clean out some corruption from the government. He has not brought back the FBI whistleblowers. That's a huge negative for me. There are positives, there are negatives. However, I understand that in voting for Donald Trump, I did not vote for

Jesse Kelly. I voted for Donald Trump. So I'm going to get some things that I don't necessarily like, and I did that willingly. When I chose to become part of the Trump coalition and vote for Donald Trump in the general election, doesn't mean I won't criticize when I disagree, doesn't mean I won't praise when he does right. But I understand I am not the whole coalition. Me, my interests. I'm a part of it. You your interests, You're a part of it, You're not the whole thing. Foreign policy wise,

there is a deep divide. I'll set aside all of America. There is too, but there's a deep divide on the right when it comes to foreign policy. There are many people out there who believe that dropping American bombs on Iran's nuclear sites is the same thing to do, the right thing to do. That we have to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. If we don't, they'll drop

it on New York City or something like that. There are a lot of people on the right who believe that, and you know what, you can make perfectly reasonable arguments for that. And on the other side, there are people who have watched twenty years of horrific, embarrassing American failure when it comes to foreign policy. They have watched America get involved in Middle East place after Middle East place. They've watched US screw everything up, They've watched US regime

change only to create a worse regime afterwards. And they're looking around asking why is this any different? And you know what, every one of those people, they have a great reasonable argument too. My I'll give you a little bit of my base and where I come from on this in just a couple minutes. But I will once again implore you, do not divide, do not, especially not public, Do not fight with your political allies over something as complicated and messy as foreign policy. I am telling you

right now, I believe we are going in. I think we're going some version of all in. Look, I know people will have these dreams of We're just gonna drop a couple bombs and we'll leave it up to the Israelis to figure out what happens from there. Do you really think we're gonna drop a couple bombs and topple a regime and not have any say in what comes afterwards. No country in the history of the world would operate that way. And do you think Donald Trump's gonna say, hey,

I'm done. I don't know what that's on? You guys, I don't want any control of it. Oh, be serious, I think we are going in. We're going all in. If you hate that, you have a great argument. If you love it, you have a great argument. All I'm asking is, don't fight with your political allies because there's a break in the coalition. What Chris Chris said, what if we just strike facilities? Buddy, you're pretending like it's checkers when it's chess. I know that's what everyone wants,

but everyone wants stuff, cruss, pizza to be good. It's not good. I'm sorry life doesn't work out the way you want. All Right, enough of this talk. Let's do some other stuff next
