The Trump Wars - Ep 26-273
Good morning, folks. Welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show. Lindsey Graham dead…I’m Kevin Jackson, and today we’re talking about wars—plural. The ones President Trump is fighting inside this country and the ones he’s refusing to lose outside of it.Let’s start with the obvious one everybody’s pretending to clutch pearls over: Iran. Can anybody seriously blame the man for finally treating them like the liars they’ve always been? These are the same people who’ve spent years swearing on a stack of whatever they don’t believe in that they’re not building bombs, not funding terror, not planning to turn the Middle East into their personal playground. Then they get caught red-handed and act shocked when somebody stops playing along. It’s like catching the same guy breaking into your garage every other Tuesday and then getting mad when you finally change the locks. We’re going to spend some time on Iran today because the story’s bigger than one headline and the media would rather you not look too closely.Meanwhile, the polling numbers keep doing something the left swore would never happen again: they’re going up. Trump’s sitting at his highest levels in months. The only thing that’s actually changed is the media occasionally running out of negative adjectives and being forced to report what’s actually occurring. Wild concept, I know.I was on a panel the other day with a 37-year-old gentleman who insisted the DSA movement is growing. I asked him the same questions I’ve asked plenty of others. First one was simple: Who’s the leader of the Republican Party? One hundred percent of the panel said Trump without blinking. Then I asked about the Democrats. He tried to be cute and said Joe Rogan. The room laughed. The problem is, it wasn’t that funny—because when your party’s brand is so damaged that a comedian with a podcast starts looking like the adult in the room, maybe the real joke is on the people still pretending everything’s fine.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
