What this episode covers

00:00 We've had quite the day here on the Charlie James show. Charlie returns tomorrow. We're talking about the Iran war, which we're not winning. We're not winning the war in Iran. And you can rewind the show later on to listen to Robert Spencer, who's an expert on jihad and Islam and writing about him for, I don't know, 25 years and written about 28 books, mostly on that subject and talk. And he's a, by the way, the reason I had him on is because he's a Trump supporter. Cause if you're just joining us, this is important to understand guys. 00:28 And you probably have, hopefully you've already made yourself aware of this. It's very difficult to get objective reporting on the war because the people on the right, the MAGA, I guess you consider me MAGA, I voted for Trump three times. I'm glad he's my president. But the people who voted for Trump tend to just, no matter what he does, they defend it. He's got a plan, you don't get it, the art of the deal, you know, blah, blah, okay. And then the people on the left hate Israel, hate Trump. 00:56 Everything Trump does is terrible, no matter what, orange man bad. And if he cured cancer, they would still criticize him for it. So you can't get an honest, any kind of honest reporting from them. And the other side, Fox News isn't gonna tell you that Trump doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to Iran. They're not gonna say that. And so it's difficult to get some actual information about the war. You've got to look at it and think for yourself. And this is not going well because Trump. 01:22 They don't reach the people running things. I'm not talking about every Iranian person, the people running things, the guys in pajamas don't understand or they don't care about the things we care about. If they don't value what we value, how are you gonna beat them? That makes it difficult. 800-905-0989-WORD. Talk line where we find Denise patiently waiting in Greenville. How are you, Denise? Welcome to the Charlie James Show. Hi, Heidi. I am enjoying the show today. Great topic. 01:51 My question is concerned in the Strait of Hormuz. I don't understand why we are not using remote controlled boats to detonate the explosives and draw out threats that are preventing the strait from being open. Without control of the strait, Iran doesn't have a bargaining chip and the war is that much closer to being over. Right. Well, my understanding of it is I don't claim to be an expert on the Strait of Hormuz, but they 02:21 Not all of it is in their, you know, on their nation, okay? And so that's the problem. We've got other people trying to control it. But my point is, why don't we control it? When we have the best Navy in the world, we have the best Air Force in the world, we have the greatest Marines. I mean, we have the best military in the world. We should be able to go in there and control everything so that shipping can continue safely. And that's what I'm saying. That's an example to me of how we're not winning. 100 days in. Trump thought this would be a couple of weeks. That's my point. 02:51 I agree. Thank you so much. Have a good one. Thanks for calling. I appreciate it. Yeah, I don't know. I that's my whole point. I don't claim to be an expert on shipping. I have watched lots of videos from people who are shipping experts and things like that. And there's all kinds of stuff to know about the shipping. Why aren't we controlling all of that? Why aren't we able to, you know, why are we still negotiating with them about any aspect of the Strait of Hormuz? This is what I don't understand. And Trump's disputing it, whether they control it or not. Well, 03:20 Things aren't flowing freely through there, are they? I think so. Ray, welcome to the Charlie James Show. How you doing? Doing good. Thank you for taking my call. I was telling, I think JJ, just a few minutes ago that I wanted to make a brief comment about this anti-Semitic movement that I'm observing pretty much around the ...
