Charlie James debates affordability and callers condemn Dr. Fauci.

What this episode covers

Charlie James: All right, let's go, uh, to the phones. We'll talk to Jamie in Belton. Jamie, welcome. How are you? Caller (Jamie): Hey, buddy. Good to talk to you again, my friend. Charlie James: You, too, man. What's happening? Caller (Jamie): Well, I know we're on this Fauci thing right here. Charlie James: Yeah. Caller (Jamie): But I kind of want to skip a beat for a second, and I know there's probably going to be a lot of people out there that just agree with me. You know, with the thing in Iran, with negotiations, and then ceasefire, and then backup bombing, and then ceasefire again... I don't wish no harm to the good people of Iran that are actually against their government for doing what they do, because they are who they are, and they have a good heart, and the good Lord, I believe, has put that in them. But my biggest thing right now, dude, is, man, gas prices. And the way that I see gas prices going up 20 cents, 30 cents, going back down, doing this and that... it's still over $3 a gallon where I'm at. Charlie James: Yeah. Caller (Jamie): And I live in Belton. You know, I mean, I'd like to see it around right now, the $3.40-something area. But with all these negotiations going on, and I do, I really—and I pray... and I'm a Christian, Charlie, I go to my church every Sunday, and I always pray. But I really—I don't know if it's wrong for me to say this—go ahead and just do what you got to do, Trump. If you've got to take them out and there's—there's casualties, or if there's a way to get around that, tell the people to get out and go sanctify themselves somewhere, to get out of harm's way to avoid collateral damage. That way, our gas prices in America can come back down, because, I mean, that means food prices are up, because diesel's up. And that's our trucking industry. Charlie James: Yeah. Caller (Jamie): And that's how things— Charlie James: And farming and everything else, yeah. Caller (Jamie): It is, man. It's everything. I mean, like you say, yes, farming, because all the equipment they have on there, as far as their farms go, is diesel. And diesel is—man, I don't think I've ever seen it— Charlie James: It's crazy. It is crazy. Uh, Jamie, I appreciate it. All right, let me let me ex- let me explain to you what's going on in Iran. So Trump said he was ready to bomb the living snot out of Iran, okay? Here's what happened. Saudi Arabia called up Donald Trump—and se- several other of Iran's neighbors—and they called up Donald Trump and said, "Listen, you can't bomb Iran. You've got to stop this." And Trump's like, "What are you talking about? I'm going to bomb Iran, we're going to do it, it's going to be a big, beautiful bombing." They were like, "No, listen, if you start to bomb Iran, they're going to bomb us. They've already made threats against our oil infrastructure." And listen, without oil, what are those countries? I mean, think about it, in the Middle East, without oil, what are those countries? They're nothing but sand lots. So Saudi Arabia is the main one that's right now been in Trump's ear going, "Listen, if you bomb them, they're going to bomb us. And if you bomb them and they bomb us, you and us—we don't have any more agreements anymore." So now, not only does Donald Trump have to try to come up with some agreement with the Iranian—the IRGC, whoever the hell's running Iran right now—now he's got to also go over here and he's got to try to placate the Saudis. So what we would have to do is go in and not only do what we need to do in Iran, but also protect the Saudi oil fields, which we do anyway. So right now, we don't have a lot of support in the Middle East. Now, what's going to happen with this—with these new talks? I have no idea. If history serves, nothing. But Jamie was right, we've got to do something over there or the midterms are gone. Let's go to Larry in Cleveland County. Larry, welcome. Caller (Larry): Charlie, how you doing today? Charlie James: Real good, man. What's up? ...
