Iran is in it for the long run; Spencer Pratt in LA is vying to make a change

What this episode covers

00:01 Good afternoon, everybody. I'm always thrilled to be sitting, hanging out with you guys and sitting in for Charlie James as he takes a well-deserved day off. JJ, will you hit that mix minus, my buddy? JJ producing and doing a fantastic job in studio as always. Coming up at the bottom of the hour, this is really important. We're gonna talk to Robert Spencer who runs the website jihadwatch.org. Now Robert Spencer has written nearly 30 books on, mostly on Islam. 00:31 And he is a Trump supporter. But he's got some things to say about where we stand in the war, because I've been watching this war and watching the fact that we're not winning this war, and does Trump really understand Islam and all of that. So Robert's going to be joining me at the bottom of the hour. We'll talk about that. I will say that if you're looking for news about the war, it's very difficult to find accurate news about the war. We've got other things to get to today. But let me just talk about this for a second, because it's important. 01:00 When you try to find news about the war or commentary about the war in Iran, all you find, you find two camps. You find the MAGA people, by the way, I voted for Trump three times. Y'all know I'm a Trump supporter. You find the MAGA people who will never ever say that we're not winning. They just won't. Oh, he's got a plan. You don't understand. And then we've got the people on the left who hate him no matter what he does, no matter how successful he is in anything, they're never gonna give him credit. So it has been... 01:29 exceedingly difficult to get good information about the war. mean, obviously I'm not there and there's a lot that we're not the average person, even if you're in the military, you're not going to know certain things that are going on, depending on your rank and your security clearance and whatnot. I get all that. But it's difficult to find an honest, fair, objective evaluation of what's going on. And it has been for a very, pretty much from the day it started. 01:54 So you get these people on video, whatnot, and they just flat out, they just hate Trump, hate Trump, hate Trump, everything. And not only do they hate Trump, they hate Israel. And that's a huge issue too. When they just flat out hate Israel, and they never, no matter what happens, they're not gonna be happy with Israel, because they want Israel destroyed whenever that happens. 02:19 You know, what are gonna do with those people who think Israel should just be destroyed? We don't care. 02:26 So it's very concerning to say the least and very difficult to find accurate information for sure. Text lines always open and of course the WORD talk line. 02:39 sure you're gonna have lots of comments after I talk to Robert Spencer because like I said, he's an expert on Islam and my contention all along has been that Trump just doesn't understand Islam. I really don't think he does. I don't think he understands that this is a long game for them. know, they don't respond. If your enemy doesn't respond like you would to the same kind of things happening, then you got problems. That's the issue always. Anyway, 800-905-0989, that's a W-O-R-D. 03:08 Talk line and the Common Sense Retirement Planning Text Line. Let's talk about LA for a second. We'll get to Robert Spencer at the bottom of the hour. 03:17 Robert Spencer, like I said, coming up in a minute. Texting my producer, JJ, he's working very hard. What about LA? Can we talk about LA for a second? What a disaster that is. I mean, Spencer Pratt, if Spencer Pratt doesn't even get a chance to get in second place, I mean, we know, can I just be honest? We all know what's going on in LA. Spencer Pratt, and now let me just back up and say, I don't know what kind of job Spencer Pratt's gonna do. 03:47 with the incredible budget and all the craziness that goes on in LA and the city council he'd have to go up against and everything else. Would he be able to clean LA up? I d ...
