Iran, $7 Diesel & a World That Makes No Sense

[00:00:00] Academy Sports and Outdoors. Fun Can't Lose. Shop now. So tell me about Iran, Kevin. What the fuck is going on there? It's just a disaster. Tell me. So we're doing, yeah, it seems like we're doing a real like half-ass job there, right?

[00:00:29] I see that. Kevin, I can't work for that logic. Or you can not go to war, but that middle of the road shit they're doing, Kevin, we just fired all our bombs and then we're like out of bombs, but they didn't give up yet. Just commit. I had no, they had no plan ahead of time. Like there's a lot of people that have like fantastic strategic minds in the United States military and they fired them. Yeah.

[00:00:53] And then now you've got Pete Hegseth and he's like, be a man, get your testosterone up, go to the gym. Kevin, if we all just had bigger testicles. That's not how you win it turns out. If we just, let's let the guys have some steroids, bigger testicles, you know, whatever you got to do. Let's open it up a little bit. Yeah. Except we're not also not sending people in like a military, like an army going into the country. It's just people pressing buttons.

[00:01:20] So that testosterone doesn't really do anything except give you roid rages and make bad. They're all like sitting in a con X box in Nevada or whatever. Right. Right. Yeah. The secret air force base, the con X box with the air conditioner behind them. That's how, you know, it's got a high speed internet. You're like, yeah, it's bad. I'm feeling the desert heat. Yeah. But now we've got $7 a gallon diesel and, and food prices are skyrocketing.

[00:01:49] Cause it all has to be shipped in a truck. That hurts me in my heart. It does. It hurts me in my wallet. That who doesn't see it. Right. That's it. It hurts us in the wallet. That's scary. And that's the thing. Like it gives you the uncertain future. Right. Right. Right. And that's really what's driving fuel prices up is because we don't know, we don't know how long it's going to take. Right. And they say that the straight is open, but it's not, it's not, it's not, they keep blowing those ships up.

[00:02:18] Anybody that tries to get through, you're like a, you got like a 50, 50 chance of making it. But you might get Kevin, but I feel like that then you're like, Oh, but diesel costs twice as much. Now I will say if we had some kind of pipeline, but like if we had a pipeline from Saudi Arabia, yeah. Let's see. Oh, they blew it up.

[00:02:45] Oh, there was one there, but they, what if we, yeah, but no, but I meant from like Canada, we could, Oh, and I did hear something about, there were like four refineries in California that maybe we shut down and like California could have made better choices and we can never build refineries. Like, I feel like I want to go to South America, broker a deal with a country. Maybe we'll call it Venezuela.

[00:03:11] Like it could be anyone, somebody maybe who even already had like diesel and shit coming out of the ground, like oil coming out of the ground. And then we could make refineries there. Yeah. And we could like make it awesome. Or what if we just go in and break shit and leave them really poor? I mean, that's another way to go. That's another option, right? We could just wreck their, their economy and then just let it be after that, because it

[00:03:38] turns out that it's more expensive to use that oil than it is to get it. Kevin nation building is hard. All right. Let's talk about that. It's a lot easier to smash shit than it is to build things. Hulk smash, you know, you know, whatever you got to do. Right. So I don't know. It's just, it's a crazy world. Right. I, I just, you know, they always used to talk when we were in the military, they'd be like, let's just turn them to glass, you know, let's just heat up the desert. And, but maybe we should do that.

[00:04:08] It'd be a hell of a skate skateboard park. Yeah. You know, you got to keep your options open. Like, I don't know what that, like, it should all even out. Right. Yeah. You know, level down into something. I don't know. I don't know how that works. Exactly. Like it probably wouldn't be good for the planet. Yeah. It's probably not good. Or sections. My limited education. I don't know what could happen.

[00:04:34] So, you know, I know when like they tested the atom bomb, they were like, oh, there's a 10% chance the whole world is going to blow up. Like, cause they thought something about if you burned up all the oxygen, then only the hydrogen would be left and it would just. Right. And like, just like the atmosphere on fire. Right. And they were like, it could just all go, but you know, let's do it. And that's the point that I'm at.

[00:05:01] You know, I kind of was wondering that like with AI, it's kind of, you know, you read the book and you're like, I've been reading a book and I know that the guy's going to kill everybody and do everything, but I just have to get to the end. I just got to know. I mean, that's kind of how you are with AI. You know, it's like, could go really bad here, but let's see what happens. What happens?

[00:05:25] You know, that's, that's the world, Kevin, that, you know, we need to live in. I'm just saying, you know, the, the fuck it world. The fuck. Maybe we've been veterans too long. Like, I don't know what that is. We were in the military a little bit too long where it corrupted and warped our minds. And maybe it was like the wrong time period. Like, I don't know how veterans are coming out now, but I'd imagine under Hegseth, they're going to like, they're going to have giant balls when they get out of military.

[00:05:54] Well, I think steroids actually, it shrinks your balls. Oh, it shrinks your balls. Yeah. Maybe they'll come out with tiny balls, big muscles, tiny balls and like a bald patch up here. And a bald patch. Right. Oh, Kevin, we live in an ugly world. I don't know. I just, I just want us to all try a little bit harder, you know, just a little bit like pretend like we care, like give kids money or something like buy them lunch in school. Right. Do that. Yeah.

[00:06:24] I mean, that's to me, that's, that's like one of the biggest ones that I have a disagreement with most people on the right about is, is the school lunches. Like making poor children hungry is not like not going to help in value. That I, I see is like, let's not incorporate religion into our schools. Kevin. All right. Well, don't ever say, if you don't believe in school lunches, if you don't believe in free

[00:06:53] school lunches, don't ever say America is a Christian nation. Cause, cause you're proving it's not. And it's not just about kids getting something to eat, poor kids getting something to eat. What is it about? If you are going to spend money on not having a country full of stupid kids, which I think is worthwhile because stupid kids, a bunch of stupid kids doesn't benefit anybody. Right.

[00:07:18] If you're going to spend money on educating children, the biggest return on your investment is making sure kids have full bellies when they're at school learning. Cause if you're just thinking about how hungry you are, you don't give a fuck what nine times seven is. You don't care. I really don't. You know, let's let, let's roll this back a minute. All right. Let's let's look a little bit bigger picture. Right. So the problem is Republicans are so terrified if you're like, well, we're just going to

[00:07:47] pay for everything for everybody. That that's like the scariest thing. Like red flags come up. Oh my God. What are we going to do? But then they're like, well, you know, Trump's like expanding the budget and we're spending on all this other stuff. We keep spending more and more money. We have to do that. Kevin. Right. We go and throw bombs over it. And ultimately, ultimately we have two choices with our tax money that we're spending.

[00:08:14] So we can spend the money at home feeding our children. Okay. I like that. I like where you're going. Or we can spend money on machines that turn kids in other countries into skeletons. Yeah. That doesn't sound like a good option. I mean, it's been a long time since I've been in Southern school. Does it have to be one or the other? Yeah. Well, I mean, kind of. Those are what we have right in front of us, right? Yeah. Okay. It's been a long time since I've been in Sunday school.

[00:08:43] But if I recall correctly, Jesus was a big fan of turning brown kids into skeletons. Correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like you might've misread that. Maybe that's not right. I don't. I think you heard it reinterpreted. There might've been something in the translation. It's when you go from the. It's that prosperity. Was it Aramaic? Jesus? I don't even. I think it might've been. He was speaking Aramaic. Then they rewrote it in Greek. And then they wrote it in Greek.

[00:09:13] And then we made it to English. There might've been a little like in the copy you got. Do you remember that? It was big in the eighties, the prosperity doctrine where God wants you to be wealthy. Yes. I love it. But there is like multiple scriptures in there that like, if you're a rich person, you can't get into heaven. There's like a lot of them in there that say that because you should be using that money to take care of children, which is, you know, kind of a thing.

[00:09:41] Something about the least of these. Was there something in there that said what you do for the least of these? Yeah. Because I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink because I was hungry and you fed me because I was a stranger and you invited me into your home. Um, that's a Matthew 23 or Matthew 30. Kevin quote in scripture. All right. We're going to, what I'm saying is what I'm saying. What are you saying? A lot of people that scream about how Christian they are. Yeah.

[00:10:10] Not Christian at all because it seems like they do exactly the opposite of what the Bible tells them to. I think Kevin, you might be accurate on that one. There might be some discrepancies between what people say they believe and how they act. It's very possible. I've also seen that with politicians where. Yeah. They wear it. They wear like, like Christianity. They put it on like a, like a nice suit, you know, wear it around.

[00:10:36] My wife can tell you about a local church in our town about she was, she was visiting with a friend and they were having a discussion and she was like, what happened to the pastor there? And the, the discussion went something like, well, he was counseling people and then he was more than counseling. And, and, and my wife keeps all the time. So he was more than counseling.

[00:11:03] And I'm like, yeah, it's like those, uh, those gay compare, uh, conversion. Uh, Kevin, that's what you have to do sometimes. And then you accidentally have sex with the people you're supposed to be converting. You gotta show up how it's wrong. Uh, it's cause you know, it's a real struggle and that's why you get involved. No, that's wrong. That's right. Great. So I don't know. We're, we're going to kind of leave it at that.

[00:11:30] Cause we do have to go prepare our lives for prepping. Go feed some orphans. Feed orphans. That or I was just going to take the garbage to the dump, but you do you. I'll do whatever, whatever dance. All right. So we'll talk to you guys later.
