He's done everything humanly possible, along with Steve Witkoff, to give an off-ramp to the
00:00:04.880
Iranians. They chose not to take it, and they got very arrogant about it, and this is the
00:00:10.480
inevitable result. You don't get to be the number one state sponsor of terror and provide all the
00:00:15.800
weaponry to be fired into Israel and then not expect Israel to take your words seriously that
00:00:20.720
you want to wipe them off the map. The Iranians are about to get their asses kicked, and it's
00:00:26.180
been coming since Jimmy Carter. They've slaughtered Americans, they've slaughtered Arabs, they've
00:00:32.240
slaughtered their own people. They think this is Joe Biden's administration, that they would get away
00:00:37.340
with getting nuclear weapons, and then the world would sit there, wouldn't know what to do about
00:00:42.000
it. You talk about ballistic missiles, Israel sees thousands of ballistic missiles. It can't defend
00:00:47.240
against 5,000, 10,000 ballistic missiles. It's not going to sit there and take it. This Iranian regime
00:00:52.960
is a terrorist Islamist regime, is an illegitimate regime. It came to power through the point of a
00:01:00.180
gun, and it expects to stay in power with nuclear weapons. Thank God we have Donald Trump as president
00:01:06.060
of the United States. Thank God Israel has. Benjamin Netanyahu is the prime minister. And I will say this,
00:01:14.020
if this Islamic terrorist regime touches one hair on the head of an American citizen,
00:01:28.300
And you think about the Israelis thinking about this operation, maybe going back to 2008,
00:01:48.100
as the Iranians were trying to get this nuclear weapon. On a scale and a scope that is quite
00:01:54.880
historic, what do you think about their capabilities? It does seem quite incredible.
00:02:01.100
Yeah, I always felt in all the times that I've worked with the Israelis back when I served as the
00:02:06.180
director of the CIA's Near East Division, that Israel just simply wouldn't exist if they didn't have
00:02:12.900
this extraordinary intelligence capability, not only to detect threats, but to conduct these sorts
00:02:18.160
of offensive operations. And we've seen the results of many of them, including that pager operation
00:02:23.840
against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, and the ability that Israel has had with pinpoint precision
00:02:30.040
to strike at leaders of Iran's proxy terrorists, including inside Iran. Remember, they took out Ismail
00:02:37.560
Hania in Tehran. So they have this ability to fuse their military operations with intelligence collection
00:02:45.540
in extraordinary ways in the region and beyond. And I think that's exactly what they're doing right
00:02:52.840
now. And a lot of it, we're not going to see, except for the results when there are dead Iranian senior
00:02:58.740
military officials or Iranian nuclear facilities that have that have been blown up.
00:03:28.740
That's the terrorist wing of the military that sponsors international terrorism. Their leadership has
00:03:35.360
been taken out almost entirely. Many of the top brass in the army itself have been taken out. And the
00:03:42.540
infrastructure at the site of Natanz, which is the first site for the production of weapons-grade
00:03:50.940
uranium, has been destroyed, we believe, almost entirely. We may have to have another
00:03:58.700
go at it. We'll see. We're analyzing the BDA at the present time. But we have also been successful
00:04:06.340
in taking out the air defenses in and around Tehran. This was a project that was implemented by
00:04:14.540
our Mossad. And I think that when the dust settles, you'll find that the beeper operation in Lebanon
00:04:21.840
and the drone operation of Ukraine and Russia pales to the genius of the implementation
00:04:58.700
...set of outcomes are in the offing. So long as Israel is prepared to finish the task and as long
00:05:07.260
as the world unites to provide continued deterrence and defense to prevent Iran from conducting
00:05:12.620
all kinds of attacks, I think of cyber threats that will probably be projected around the world
00:05:18.560
too. Iranians have a great cyber program. So lots of vectors for them to respond. We all need to be alert
00:05:23.980
and responsive and do everything we can to deter them from coming after any American anywhere
00:05:58.700
I think the moment that you'll execute is always a bit surprising. But the fact that the Israelis
00:06:03.720
concluded they needed to do this doesn't surprise me in the least. I must say, too, I've talked to
00:06:08.020
some folks in the Gulf region this morning already. The Gulf nations are thrilled. They want to make
00:06:13.580
sure the United States will be there to help make sure that if Iran responds against them, we'll do the
00:06:18.560
necessary to help them be safe and secure. But the entire region knows that Iran is the problem and not
00:06:23.860
Israel. And so while they may not be able to say it quite as publicly as some others can, I know that
00:06:29.460
the Gulf Arab nations are feeling a little safer and a little more secure today.
00:06:36.200
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:06:44.580
these people. I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a
00:06:51.420
belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world
00:06:55.220
to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:06:57.700
And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media. I wish in my soul, I wish
00:07:08.100
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:07:26.960
It's Friday, 13 June, Year of the Lord 2025. Thank you for joining us for our late afternoon,
00:07:31.760
early evening edition of the War Room. A lot has transpired from this morning. Remember this
00:07:38.560
morning, we were setting up about how the law of unintended consequences and the fog of war
00:07:44.240
war, that you have to really kind of think these things through and see how they develop.
00:07:49.560
Also, we ended, and I got a lot of positive feedback from people, saying we ended this morning's cold
00:07:55.660
open by my brilliant staff with the shock and awe of 2003.
00:08:02.240
What was said throughout the day is that it had been a decapitation strike. The strike had worked.
00:08:06.980
They didn't have any ballistic missiles. They didn't have any command and control. They couldn't
00:08:09.780
fire anything. There was a huge push from my sources, which are pretty good, and Tucker Carlson's
00:08:18.300
got a tweet up about it, that there's a big push for President Trump actually to engage more into this
00:08:24.160
war as it develops. It turns out, Jack Posobiec, our first guest out of the box, it turns out,
00:08:30.000
and here's where I don't understand how this plays out in the logic of war, because we've been, as you
00:08:36.900
know, very big on they can't have a nuclear weapon, and we ought to go to economic war with them if we
00:08:42.600
shut this regime down and let the Persians deal with them. But it's going to take time, and you have
00:08:49.660
to be very focused on doing this economically and not get into another shooting war in the Middle East,
00:08:55.320
because we just got out of two of them that took us 20 years and I think added $9 trillion to the
00:09:01.680
national debt. Israel decided, did their own calculation, and said, hey, Netanyahu said,
00:09:08.660
we've got to go now. We think it's going to happen now. We said, fine, that's Israel first. We're
00:09:12.540
America first. America's got to put her own interests first. Jack, as you know, we're already engaged
00:09:18.780
in the air defense over Tel Aviv and the rest of Haifa and the rest of Israel. It turns out
00:09:25.620
they didn't have a decapitation. It wasn't just about nuclear weapons. They went for a decapitation
00:09:30.100
move. They didn't decapitate all the military command. They didn't take out the command and
00:09:35.120
control structure. Tel Aviv has been getting pounded by ballistic missile attacks, and we know that
00:09:41.060
American air defense is engaged in its defense, including a couple of Arleigh Burke cruisers that
00:09:47.920
have gone to the eastern Mediterranean to provide air defense. Your thoughts about where, and I think
00:09:53.560
there's a huge push to get President Trump to actually engage in active combat operations
00:09:59.180
against the Iranians. Jack Basobik, any update from your end?
00:10:06.200
Well, Steve, that's what I've been hearing throughout the day. You and I have, of course,
00:10:09.840
been in discussion all day on and off the phone and tracking with my sources all throughout
00:10:14.680
the administration, throughout D.C., and just following the events online as well. Of course,
00:10:20.140
we also saw that that Arleigh Burke guided missile destroyer equipped with an Aegis missile system
00:10:26.280
and the ability to track these incoming ballistic missiles for the counter-strike, which earlier
00:10:33.140
today on Human Events Daily, I was on with General Flynn, and we covered this live as it was taking
00:10:39.060
place, this attack, where we were able to see in real time here on the Real America's Voice Network
00:10:45.300
that these missiles, many of which were able to get through whatever layered missile defenses that
00:10:53.700
the Iron Dome and other layers that Israel had there in Tel Aviv. This was the first salvo,
00:10:59.360
and it seems that following then is really when it seems though Israel called up the U.S. military,
00:11:06.500
or at least reached out to contacts and saying, we need some assistance, and that's when it seems
00:11:11.020
that this Arleigh Burke destroyer came in to provide, help add to that umbrella of cover for
00:11:18.220
the Aegis missile system, really lighting up the sky. And Steve, of course, we heard this morning on
00:11:24.500
many other outlets saying that Iran was done, that there would not be a possibility for them to
00:11:31.600
strike back, that they had lost their entire chain of command, their command and control,
00:11:36.480
and it seems that's not the case. And so now Israel, as we're seeing live, by the way,
00:11:41.900
is now conducting a, I suppose you would say this is a second day of strikes or second evening of
00:11:47.540
strikes on Tehran. However, tonight, the difference being that as these strikes come in, Iranian air
00:11:55.020
defenses are active as opposed to last night when they were deactivated. However, they have been able
00:12:01.940
to conduct some strikes on a few air bases tonight in Iran, as well as numerous strikes on Tehran that
00:12:10.140
have been getting through Iran's air defenses. But it does appear that Iran's air defenses,
00:12:14.780
their anti-aircraft missiles, their anti-aircraft cannons are operating tonight in a way that they
00:12:20.340
were not last night. Well, and also, correct me if I'm wrong here, the sugar high that a number of,
00:12:28.280
I think, quite immature people had this morning about the success of this rate, and I say once
00:12:33.800
again, it's just as audacious as the Ukrainians hit into the interior of Russia to take out part of
00:12:41.540
their strategic triad. It was bold. It's had the efficiency that the IDF is known for. The IDF has
00:12:48.700
already been on a roll against Hezbollah, against the Muslim Brotherhood franchisee Hamas,
00:12:54.960
against the Iranian air defense, which they took out essentially, or a big part of it,
00:13:02.860
a couple of months ago. But it's not about that. It's about having the people got a sugar high
00:13:10.100
this morning before the National Security Council. I think President Trump convened it at 11 a.m.
00:13:16.060
and there was a lot of loose talk. As we said, you've got to understand the fog of war and the
00:13:23.080
law of unintended consequences. We cannot get sucked into another major war on the Eurasian
00:13:30.060
landmass, particularly in the Middle East. And as we end this broadcast now at 5 p.m. Eastern
00:13:38.160
Daylight Time on the 13th of June in the year of our Lord, 2025, we're getting drawn into this
00:13:44.460
already. We're an active combatant. If you're providing air defense, you're a combatant.
00:13:49.540
Am I, we've got to go to break. Am I correct on that, Jack Posobiec? If you're providing air
00:13:53.460
defense, you've got Arlie Burks there with the Aegis Cruisers, with the Aegis Missile System. Are you
00:14:00.180
not a combatant in this, sir? Steve, it seems the United States is becoming more and more embroiled
00:14:08.420
in this and what appeared to be, or many people said, was a decapitation strike earlier today and
00:14:15.080
last night. Well, it turns out it's just another shooting war. Well, and by the way, they may have
00:14:21.600
gone close to some sort of decapitation, but it's not done. And now you're in a fight with
00:14:26.860
the Persians, an ancient civilization. The Israelis went. They made a decision for Israel
00:14:37.760
first. Hey, go with God. You made a decision. You did the calculus, but don't have the decision
00:14:42.600
backed up that on the first couple of hours of it, the United States has got to come in
00:14:45.980
and go to full defense. And then other people say that we should go on offense. That can't
00:14:50.880
be. How can that be? We're not read in. It's not part of our plan. And what universe is
00:14:56.840
that happening? There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States
00:15:03.340
that isn't getting enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of
00:15:08.740
acres of U.S. farmland. They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things
00:15:14.300
like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment. Why? It's not clear. They're tightening their
00:15:21.120
grip on global food production. That is clear. And if things go south and it could happen quickly,
00:15:28.700
we need to be ready. That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply. They're America's largest emergency

00:16:45.780
Okay, this excuse that, oh, we got the embassy, I'm the one that pushed to have the embassy move
00:16:51.660
to Jerusalem, right? Which I still believe. And I believe in Israel as an ally. However,
00:16:59.640
if you're going to go, if we have a plan, and that is to negotiate and try to, and I understand
00:17:04.400
about the date and everything like that, but if you have a full plan that you're going to
00:17:08.220
go alone, just like the Ukrainians, if you're going to go alone, then guess what? When it
00:17:12.700
gets hot, you've got to have a plan to take it. I don't want to hear, oh, we got American
00:17:17.380
troops in Iraq. Why we got American troops in Iraq? Because Fox News and all of them and
00:17:22.060
Bush lied to us. Lied. This was not a, this was not a, it wasn't a failure of intelligence
00:17:31.560
or we made some bad calculations. It was bald face lies. Let's talk like adults today. Let's
00:17:37.380
have an adult conversation. Bald face lies. Go over to section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery
00:17:45.640
and tell them about yellow cake and tell about all the lies and spin of the neocons. Isn't
00:17:51.480
this movement in reaction to that war? Isn't it in reaction to the financial collapse brought
00:17:57.280
on by the Bush administration? Yes, yes, yes, yes. I know the Democrats have ton to do with
00:18:02.040
it and the Wall Street guys, they were all guilty. That's where this movement came from.
00:18:07.700
Stop the forever wars because your sons and daughters are fighting them just like your sons
00:18:11.440
and daughters are going to be fighting this one. So if we're going to do it this time,
00:18:15.180
let's have an adult conversation. Do not come here and say, oh, we got to protect America
00:18:18.200
and then get them out. Get them out of Iraq, get them out of the embassy. That's not a call
00:18:23.560
for us to get engaged in a shooting war. And that's what we're engaged in a couple hours
00:18:27.640
into this. You either got it. If you're going to go alone, you got, you can take care of your
00:18:32.460
deal or not. You don't need us. Decide to go alone. Decide to reject it. No, we don't
00:18:37.720
need you. We're going to go alone. And the go to alone lasts about six hours. Not only
00:18:43.100
do they want them defense, they want us to go on offense. Don't believe me, Tucker Carlson's
00:18:50.220
got a tweet up. I will not repeat the names on this show at this time. I have not verified
00:18:54.420
that. But Tucker Carlson's on fire. We're now calling out names, naming names. Folks, we
00:19:03.480
have 10 million just on Biden's watch in our country, illegal alien invaders. And if you
00:19:11.500
don't think that's a war on the streets of L.A. and Chicago and New York and everywhere
00:19:16.680
you're going to see this weekend, and that is our number one priority because that's what
00:19:20.700
the CCP is getting us and not getting drawn into something else in the Middle East. That's
00:19:28.040
a secondary, tertiary. Yes, yes, yes. Secondary or tertiary. Secondary or tertiary. Just like
00:19:37.240
we said for years, Ukraine, the eastern-speaking, the eastern-speaking, excuse me, the Russian-speaking
00:19:44.600
eastern border Ukraine is not in the vital, let me repeat that, the vital national security
00:19:51.460
interest in the United States, just like taking down the nuclear weapons, very important, had
00:19:56.600
to be done. President Trump said we're not going to allow him to have it. But you've
00:20:01.040
got to go up the escalatory ladder and the tools you have, particularly we haven't done
00:20:04.800
anything in economics. You know why? Because they were chomping at the bit to get in there
00:20:09.040
and mix it up. And if you're going to do that, that's fine. Go ahead. Go. Do it. Hammer.
00:20:14.080
It's audacious. It's bold. You've got one of the finest militaries in the world. We've
00:20:18.460
seen that against Hezbollah. We've seen that against the Muslim Brotherhood of Moss. We've
00:20:22.680
seen that take down the air defense. But don't set it up that we're going to get wrapped
00:20:26.800
up in this thing in the first day and now people want us going offense into bombing runs
00:20:31.280
on this. And Mike Pompeo, Mike Pompeo sitting there going, everybody in the golf region so
00:20:36.360
excited. Is that your paymasters in Qatar, Pompeo, that you took the money from? Is that
00:20:42.260
your paymasters in Qatar telling you this? Is that what they're saying? Is that your puppet
00:20:46.820
for them now? Oh, the Golf Emiratis. Yeah. Well, I haven't seen them come out today and
00:20:53.160
say, oh, this is terrific. We're so grateful that this happened. No, they let the United
00:20:57.780
States get sucked in. Your sons and daughters. If you're going to do it, do it. Go for it.
00:21:03.260
You make your own decision. You decided we got to do it. We got to do it now. They got
00:21:07.300
15 nuclear weapons. Then go for it. But then why do we have to come in air defense? And
00:21:12.460
please don't use, oh, because we have things in Tel Aviv. Then get them the hell out of
00:21:16.220
Tel Aviv. And if you're an American citizen over there, give them a shot. Get out or
00:21:21.800
stick. If you stick, that's fine. This is how we get sucked in. You want to get, you
00:21:28.900
want to play, we're going to be all dumb again. We're going to, let's go back to 2003, shock
00:21:32.940
and awe. Remember all the Bush guys chest thumping and high fiving that their sons and daughters
00:21:38.340
go over there and die in Iraq and Afghanistan. All those Bushies and their khaki pants and their
00:21:44.620
blue blazers, all those guys, all of them, you see them, all the Bush apparatus, all those
00:21:49.880
guys sitting there high fiving on, on 19 March, 2003. No, they did not. Their sons and daughters
00:21:56.360
didn't go. And it's the beginning of the rapid decline of this country financially, militarily.
00:22:06.080
And so now we're in another one again. All I want to have is a open conversation. Is this
00:22:12.260
in the best, is this in the vital national security industry of the United States right
00:22:15.820
now? To be back into a war in the Middle East with CENTCOM running things. Think about
00:22:23.640
it for a second. And now you, this, this country ain't Iraq, right? Not Afghanistan. These are
00:22:31.880
the guys that pounded out Iraq and in Iran. The Persians pounded out for years, for years.
00:22:37.720
I don't know, lost a couple of million men each. Will that happen now? I have no earthly
00:22:43.220
idea. I do not. What I know is that we weren't asked to come, well, you know, this people went
00:22:51.060
on this by themselves. They made a conscious decision to do it themselves. And if you want
00:22:55.060
to do it yourselves, then do it yourselves. All of a sudden we got to come in and defend that.
00:23:00.360
And what planet? And I'm not worried. People say, oh, it's going to tear MAGA apart. No,
00:23:05.500
it is not going to tear MAGA apart at all. We need, we may have needed to do this, to decide
00:23:14.180
who's really America first and who's still a neocon. Who's still a neocon? And if I'm hurting
00:23:20.060
your feelings, I'm sorry. Your feelings are going to have to get hurt. And I'm not in the
00:23:27.320
Tucker Carlson, the Kurt Mills. I know those guys well. I respect them a lot.
00:23:33.260
But when you decide to do something and you're going to do it on your own, then do it on your
00:23:38.320
own. If you're going to make that decision, just like Zelensky in this crowd, if you're
00:23:42.360
going to do it, do it. Don't try to get us sucked into it. Because right now, inexorably,
00:23:48.140
I have preached this gospel. Inexorably, we're being drawn into a massive land war, World War
00:23:54.640
III. And we have no, while we have 10 million at minimum invaders in this country, and you
00:24:02.520
saw last weekend in Los Angeles, how easy it is to get them out of here. You're going to
00:24:08.220
have a firestorm in each of these sanctuary cities. We got enough on our plate. We have
00:24:13.500
enough on our plate that we have to take care of in this country. We got a million fentanyl
00:24:18.360
dead. We got, we've got, we've got corrupt institutions corrupted by our central entity.
00:24:24.900
The Chinese Communist Party is everywhere. It's on Wall Street. It's in the universities.
00:24:28.400
Hell, Stanford and Harvard are basically prep schools for them. We got enough on our plate.
00:24:34.100
And every time we try to do something, we got radical neo-Marxist judges that are shutting
00:24:38.460
us down. Yes, we have a full plate right here to take care of business. And as you know,
00:24:43.260
I'm not a put the head in the sand. The second biggest thing we have is a ticking time bomb
00:24:48.700
in the South China Sea and in the Straits of Taiwan. We do not have time for a diversion.
00:24:55.600
And that's what this is. I'm sorry if I'm hurting your feelings.
00:24:58.280
We weren't asked to come into this. We were kind of dismissed.
00:25:05.800
Oh, and maybe later on we find out more, but hey, that's for another day. I'm talking about
00:25:10.220
right now. And I'm talking about all the sugar high that was this morning and all the chest
00:25:14.240
pumping and pounding and oh yeah, let us get some. They ain't talking about getting some late
00:25:20.740
in the afternoon and the people in Tel Aviv. They're getting pounded. We're not told this.
00:25:31.820
Well, Steve, we're seeing the responses now. We're seeing the U.S. getting inexorably.
00:25:38.320
If the escalation ladder continues, if the United States continues to be involved in this
00:25:45.480
as escalations continue between Israel, between Iran that goes up and up higher, that draws closer
00:25:54.260
and closer to the possibility of U.S. servicemen being killed in this or retaliatory strikes on any
00:26:01.560
of the number, large, large number of U.S. personnel that are all across the Persian Gulf, as everyone
00:26:08.840
knows. And the Russians, by the way, are looking at all this. And the Russian response at the United
00:26:15.300
Nations, their permanent representative, and I've got his state up here, actually said the West has
00:26:21.120
done everything to add fuel to the fire of escalation in the Middle East, inciting and encouraging Israel
00:26:28.760
to take radical steps, including in their declaration condemning the attack. And so there's real questions
00:26:36.420
as to how this will affect Russia's negotiation posture vis-a-vis Ukraine, which I've been bringing up
00:26:42.160
again and again here, because if the ceasefire talks are off between Iran and Israel, these nuclear
00:26:49.360
talks are done, and certainly with the United States. And the question is, will Russia agree to a ceasefire,
00:26:55.900
or will this give fuel to the hardliners in Russia? This is what caused Purgosian, right?
00:27:00.900
This is what Israel was attempting to do last night in Iran, take out all the military leaders. This is
00:27:07.160
what made Purgosian so upset when he turned his sights on Moscow way back when. He wanted, and the Russian
00:27:13.820
hardliners have wanted, to conduct this type of attack on Kiev from the very start. That's what
00:27:20.100
they've wanted all along. So there's going to be real questions in the next 48 hours, or maybe even less
00:27:26.480
than that at this point. The U.S.'s response now will dictate many things going forward. Steve, we are in
00:27:34.260
the fourth turning, and everyone is looking to the White House to see how President Trump will react. Are we going
00:27:42.120
up the escalation ladder, or are we getting off of it? Hang on. Not just fourth turning, in the Third World War, which
00:27:50.300
to date, we have been able to stay out as a combatant. As much as we got fingerprints all over Ukraine
00:27:56.020
because of the deep state and the money, we're in it now. You're providing air defense. You're a combatant.
00:28:03.040
Simple. You're a combatant. Understand something. And if you're for that thing, fine. I appreciate you,
00:28:11.880
and I've got time to listen to your arguments. Just understand something. We are on the 13th of June
00:28:16.920
in the year of our Lord, 2025. We are now a combatant in the Third World War,
00:28:21.320
in the Connecticut. And I would respectfully submit we have enough on our hands with 10
00:28:28.640
million illegal invaders that are in these sanctuary cities, these festering sores in the United States
00:28:37.320
of America. Short break. An all-star cast next. There's something happening with our farmland here in
00:28:44.400
the United States that isn't getting enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up
00:28:48.720
hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland. They're also taking control over critical supply
00:28:55.420
chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed, and farming equipment. Why? It's not clear. They're
00:29:02.280
tightening their grip on global food production. That is clear. And if things go south and it could
00:29:09.300
happen quickly, we need to be ready. That's why I trust MyPatriotSupply. They're America's largest

00:30:23.380
Mike Lindell, of course, the worst of this happened during the illegitimate Biden regime.
00:30:36.640
You're now in a federal court with your entire company on the line. They've asked for $60 million
00:30:42.740
to get compensation for these bad things you said about them. Can you get us up to date, sir?
00:30:48.440
Yeah, we just did closing arguments to everybody, and this is all about your First Amendment right of
00:30:53.360
free speech. My lawyer's got up there and says, you know, these machine companies are basically an
00:30:58.180
extension of the government, and, you know, if I can't go after them and melt them down and turn
00:31:05.660
them into prison bars, which I think is what I said, there's a big problem. But the other side,
00:31:13.000
they went up there, and as what they said to the jury, the last statement the jury heard was,
00:31:18.320
we have to send a message to other people out there that speak out about our elections,
00:31:24.000
everybody. And that's why they put it at $60 million against my fellow and myself.
00:31:29.860
They also, Steve, they actually indirectly mentioned the war room policy. They said Mike Lindell's been
00:31:37.140
doing shows and spreading disinformation and using promo codes. I think what happened, Steve,
00:31:44.360
is he used a promo code that didn't give the specials that the war room policy gets with promo code
00:31:50.180
war room. And I'll tell you, this guy... Hang on, I hope your lawyer, I hope your lawyer in court
00:31:56.420
gave our promo code in case the jury wanted to buy a lumpy pillow afterwards. Just saying.
00:32:02.560
Actually, actually, they gave out promo code jury. They said, you know, Mike Lindell probably used the promo
00:32:07.740
code jury, which I did. And I remember back in the day, I used promo code Dominion. FBI. I'm an equal
00:32:13.740
opportunity promo person. But the best promo code in the country is the promo code war room.
00:32:20.000
And you guys, I want to give you that pillow. Now, the pillow with God, all things are possible
00:32:24.900
today. We need help. My pillow, yeah. And they said, even if my pillow is broken, Mike Lindell's broke,
00:32:32.100
we need to send a message to this country. You do not speak out. So in other words,
00:32:37.140
they're going to go after me anyway, even with no money. But you guys can help out.
00:32:41.040
Get that free MyPillow 2.0 with God, all things are possible. Get that free pillow,
00:32:46.040
any purchase, promo code war room. Go to the website, you guys. We need now when we need your
00:32:51.100
support. That jury's going to come out any minute now. And I believe we're going to get a win-win-win.
00:32:56.420
And it's been because of you guys' help supporting us. Call MyPillow 800-873-1062. We're not going to
00:33:05.160
suppress the best promo code, the most sought-after promo code in history, promo code war room. You
00:33:10.860
hear that over there at the courthouse? Thank you. Thank you, Mike. What is it? Insanity is no
00:33:19.360
defense in your case. Insanity plea is no defense in your case. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
00:33:23.740
One last thing. One last thing, you guys. The press conference was just here and they asked me on
00:33:28.500
Channel 9 News here. It's another guy called a traitor because he is. And he goes, are you going
00:33:34.420
to quit now? Are you going to back off if they find you guilty or if they find you money? I said,
00:33:40.620
what do you think, Kyle? I said, I'll never stop until we secure our election here in the United
00:33:45.600
States and preserve the American dream that we've all lived in, including you, Kyle. So thanks,
00:33:51.620
Steve, I'll get hold of you. As soon as they come out, the jury comes out.
00:33:54.980
Let us know, Mike Lindell. Everybody's praying for you.
00:33:59.160
Thank you. Mike Lindell. Man, it's put it on the line. Jack, Charlie Spearing over Daily Mail
00:34:05.060
has on the fight that we got to win. That's not, we don't have an option. We have to win this fight
00:34:10.960
here in this country. We must win this fight. There is no option. If we don't win this,
00:34:15.940
we don't have a country. Okay? You can't say that about the Middle East. You can't say that
00:34:21.120
about Ukraine. You can't even say that about Taiwan. You know how rabid I am about Taiwan.
00:34:25.160
There, the economy changes overnight. But you still have a country. We don't win this one
00:34:30.240
in the Third World War. We don't have a country. Charlie Spearing, the great Charlie Spearing,
00:34:35.020
used to work with us at Breitbart. He's now the chief, I think, White House correspondent for Daily
00:34:39.760
Mail. He's got a poll. What does that poll say, sir, about what President Trump is trying to
00:34:44.940
accomplish every day in these big, massive Democratic sanctuary cities, sir?
00:34:50.980
Well, Steve, that's right. I'm looking through, and it's this new JL Partners poll, and Charlie's
00:34:56.200
got it up at Daily Mail, and they seem to, they've conducted it in conjunction there. And this poll
00:35:01.540
is that it's a mega poll on L.A. unrest and the Trump administration's response from JL Partners.
00:35:08.860
Which side are you on? 51% say we are on the side of law enforcement, and only 26% say they're on the
00:35:17.660
side of protesters. In fact, when it comes to immigrants, first-generation immigrants say
00:35:24.180
they're with the law enforcement, 45, 30. Second generation, even more, 53 to 31. 55% of Americans
00:35:34.640
say that people in the country illegally must now leave. I want to say that again. 55% of Americans
00:35:42.020
agree, an absolute majority, that people in the country illegally must now leave. And that's not
00:35:49.100
breaking it down by, you know, farm workers and MS-13 and the rest. That's all. That's all illegals must
00:35:56.660
leave. Democrats, of course, are associated with the violence, and President Trump's support for
00:36:04.000
sending the troops in, it's supported by a majority with a margin of 14 points. So, Steve, I mean,
00:36:11.340
President Trump's polling on these riots, on illegal immigration right now, impeccable. Absolutely
00:36:17.620
impeccable, including this stunning number. 55% of Americans say that people in the country illegally
00:36:24.580
must now leave. And that's not, by the way, Cortez has got additional polling we'll get into if we
00:36:30.840
can get him up. I want to get those numbers out. Charlie Spearney, Daily Mail is not exactly a MAGA
00:36:35.220
platform either. So that's, you know, that's coming from a source, I would say, is slightly to the left
00:36:40.380
of center. While we've got some time, Jack, I want you to hear this. We do have victories. Remember,
00:36:45.440
we're winning every day on this deportation. We just got to keep focused, keep focused. Brandon
00:36:51.240
Showalter joins us. Brandon, we only got a couple of minutes. You got a big, big, big win out in
00:36:56.420
California on this radical ideology. It's one of these crazy things that drives these Marxists.
00:37:02.620
What do you got going on for us? Yes, Steve, there's tremendous good news. It was reported in
00:37:08.520
the Los Angeles Times yesterday that the largest, this has been one of the largest, if not the largest,
00:37:15.680
child, transgender, pediatric, transgender clinic in the country is closing as of July 22nd. Earlier
00:37:23.560
this year, they had been temporarily paused and then it was unfrozen and there had been some sort
00:37:28.080
of back and forth. But due to pressure from the Trump administration and all of the executive
00:37:32.780
agencies who have been empowered by his January 28th executive order to take appropriate steps
00:37:38.300
and withhold funds from hospitals and that kind of thing, this is, this is a big kahuna, Steve.
00:37:44.100
This was, this clinic was run by a woman named Joanna Olson Kennedy, who just, I won't go too deep
00:37:50.320
into the weeds here, but her name surfaced on a document where she received tens of, you know,
00:37:55.720
$10 million of a grant from the NIH, wherein several years ago it was exposed via FOIA that she had
00:38:03.500
lowered the age for the cross-sex hormone cohort inclusion criteria in children from 13 to 8.
00:38:08.520
So these were vile experiments on children. Her hospital, her clinic there in Los Angeles was
00:38:14.260
one of the recipients of this grant. And now she's finally coming under some scrutiny. She's being sued
00:38:19.040
for medical negligence by a detransitioner and this big center is closing. And I think, Steve, what it's
00:38:24.560
going to do is start a trend. We hope that even the blue states are going to be moving away from this
00:38:31.520
kind of quote unquote care because to have the children's training in Los Angeles shut down.
00:38:36.900
But hang on, you told us, you told us as we fought this, you said, California is the railhead
00:38:42.420
of the problems. This is where it's embedded in the political system. It's embedded into the economic
00:38:47.680
system. These things are cash cows. These doctors are making a fortune and you've seen the way it's
00:38:52.320
screwed up public schools. It's broken families in California. California is the railhead of this,
00:38:58.080
of this movement. And like, they have so many radical ideologies out there. This is why Stephen
00:39:03.120
Miller says the future of this country is going to be fought on the streets of LA about these mass
00:39:07.420
deportations with folks coming in here, these illegal alien invaders. The same thing with
00:39:13.200
transgender ideology. Is it not, sir? You're right that it's embedded deep in California. I would just
00:39:19.880
make a point, though, about Children's Hospital LA is that this has been a place in the United States
00:39:24.080
that had been really kind of pioneering it. It started in Boston. Boston Children's Hospital
00:39:28.080
was the first pediatric gender clinic that opened in 2007. California, there are other institutions
00:39:34.240
still in California that are doing this. But again, I just can't overstate how significant it is, Steve,
00:39:39.180
to have Children's Hospital LA, that transgender clinic, close. I was just actually out in California
00:39:44.980
this week. And so it just was music to my ears to see this shut down. And in about a month,
00:39:50.980
Chairman, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson is going to be hosting an event at the FTC where so-called
00:39:57.680
gender-affirming care will be exposed as consumer fraud. And there's going to be a number of speakers
00:40:03.160
and panels there. You might say the Trump administration is cooking with gas and hearing
00:40:07.960
very good things also at the Department of Justice. Attorney General Bondi very much gets the issue.
00:40:12.740
The federal government is using its leverage against this scourge, and it's just wonderful to see.
00:40:16.900
Sir, thank you so much. Where do people go to get all your information?
00:40:24.460
Christianpost.com for all of my colleagues' print reporting. Generationindoctrination.com
00:40:29.300
is our landing page for our documentary podcast. We're working on season five. Hope to be releasing
00:40:34.100
that series soon. Brandon M. Show on X. And I would urge everyone to still check out the Dead Name
00:40:40.640
documentary if you go to deadnamedocumentary.com. And it's now also available on Amazon Prime and on
00:40:49.380
Thank you, Brandon. Thank you for the update. Victory begets victory. We're moving the change,
00:40:53.780
Jack Posobiec. Ube Shandahar. Shandabar joins us now, former DIA official defense intelligence
00:41:04.140
Sir, give us your update on where this stands, because there was a lot of chest beating this
00:41:11.080
morning. And there's not so much chest beating now as Tel Aviv just got racked by these ballistic
00:41:18.760
Look, this is a full-blown war. This is a full-blown war. This isn't what happened last summer when you
00:41:24.800
had a tactical response by the Iranians that was measured. You had the Israelis launching strikes
00:41:32.240
into Iran, but only focusing on the air defense. And then both sides stopped. This is much bigger.
00:41:38.540
The Israeli government has signaled that this will be a multi-day, perhaps multi-week operation.
00:41:45.440
This is a decapitation strike against the most senior military officials in the Iranian regime,
00:41:53.820
including Ali Shamhani, a senior advisor to the Supreme Leader himself, who overlooked a number of
00:42:01.560
military and nuclear program portfolios. The Israeli Mossad has penetrated Iran like Swiss cheese.
00:42:09.700
They have operatives on the ground in Iran, launching drones from within Iranian territory,
00:42:16.460
striking against Iran's ballistic missile storage facilities, and destroying a number of
00:42:23.340
strategic facilities in the Natanz nuclear enrichment site. Iran has two of them, though.
00:42:30.020
The one in the Natanz and the one in Fordow. The one in Fordow is deep underground in the mountains
00:42:35.640
and lies adjacent to the Iranian holy city of Kohn. This is, as we saw from Bibi Netanyahu's
00:42:43.940
statements earlier, declaring that the Iranian people should rise up and declare their freedom.
00:42:50.960
This is much broader in scope here. And there is a signal here by the Israeli leadership that
00:42:59.040
that they are looking to bring down the regime in its entirety. Look, they've taken out now the head
00:43:05.740
of the military chief of staff. That is their, the Iranian version of their chairman of the joint
00:43:10.940
chiefs of staff. They've taken out the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. They've taken out
00:43:16.660
the head of the Iranian Air Force and Missile Command. They've taken out the senior Quds Force
00:43:26.560
operative. So imagine if the entire joint chiefs of staff has been taken out, as well as the commander
00:43:34.500
of U.S. Central Command. That is what the Israeli military has been able to achieve against their
00:43:40.360
Iranian foes, while at the same time assassinating a number of senior Iranian nuclear scientists. So
00:43:48.280
even if Israel is not able to penetrate all the way deep down into Fordow, that is that main strategic
00:43:56.260
nuclear site under the ground that has all these advanced centrifuges, they have essentially set back
00:44:03.060
Iran's nuclear program perhaps by decades. But we saw the Iranians have responded. They've sent these,
00:44:09.260
we're seeing these harrowing images from Tel Aviv with this massive barrage by Iranian ballistic
00:44:15.440
missiles. Hang on for one second. We're taking a short commercial break. We're returning in the
00:44:20.360
war room in just a moment. There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of
00:44:27.300
inflation, the real crisis is personal debt. Seriously, you're working harder than ever, and you're still

Make this your weekend work assignment to go through.
00:46:43.720
By the way, join us tomorrow, 10 to noon, the weekly Saturday show. Don't miss it.
00:46:49.580
It's my favorite show of the week, as you guys know.
00:46:51.920
Also, starting at 4 o'clock, 4 to, I think, 8, maybe later, the parade, the commemoration and event
00:46:59.860
around the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
00:47:14.580
David Zier, all of us, and maybe a couple of three surprises.
00:47:22.180
Ube, when you say full-blown war, describe what you mean, sir.
00:47:25.420
Look, Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, at this point realizes that he's lost his main
00:47:35.780
His top senior military commanders are all dead in one night.
00:47:40.820
And Tehran views this attack more than likely as an attempt to bring down the regime in
00:47:49.560
And we've already seen officials in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem saying that the Iranians have
00:47:55.880
crossed a red line by launching these ballistic missiles that have struck civilian facilities
00:48:05.320
So this, I don't think that this is going to be merely a tit-for-tat proportional attack
00:48:16.840
There's going to be a cascade effect here, given that so much is at stake.
00:48:22.500
And the fact that Mossad has completely infiltrated Iran like Swiss cheese is humiliating for the
00:48:32.920
Look, back in April, there was a New York Times article that said that the pressure that
00:48:38.840
the Trump administration was putting on Ayatollah Khamenei following that letter that President
00:48:43.300
Trump sent to the Iranian leader telling him, hey, you have the option now to ensure that
00:48:49.520
Iran, the successor of the Persian Empire, can succeed.
00:48:53.760
It can prosper on just one condition, no nuclear weapons.
00:48:58.380
But I think there's real pressure right now on Ayatollah Khamenei, fear that his regime
00:49:05.600
Jack Posobiec, what Ube is saying is correct because President Trump said, hey, I was going
00:49:12.780
to send a team to negotiate, but they're all dead.
00:49:15.980
What is your definition of a full-blown war here?
00:49:24.320
Well, Steve, I mean, keep in mind that Iran has a number of opposition groups as well
00:49:30.500
as separatist groups, Balochistan and others, who would certainly capitalize on any regime
00:49:36.060
change situation that would clearly lead to a form of civil war, one or another forms of
00:49:42.680
civil war, this type of sectarian violence that we saw break out in Iraq after the fall
00:49:49.300
But when you say full-scale war, Steve, a full-scale war, and we learned this from Ukraine, that
00:49:56.180
as many drones as Ukraine might have, as many missiles as they might have, you cannot hold
00:50:04.080
You cannot hold territory, maintain territory, and advance on territory, gain territory without
00:50:12.460
And that's what Russia has been reflective of with their attrition warfare against Ukraine,
00:50:19.220
and particularly, as we've said many times, in those eastern Russian-speaking provinces
00:50:24.480
where they're in this attrition warfare fight over and over.
00:50:28.060
And so, yes, both sides are currently lobbing airstrikes back and forth, Israel starting, then
00:50:37.160
Right now, perhaps we'll see another Iranian, as this would be a second this year, or a fourth
00:50:43.020
if you go back to about one year ago when all of this started, really April of 2024, when
00:50:50.500
And so the question is, of course, if there is going to be a war, will that include boots
00:50:56.620
And I think it would necessitate boots on the ground to be able to do that, because that's
00:51:10.260
In the next 24 hours, until you're back on tomorrow, what should the audience look for?
00:51:15.620
Folks, what you want to look for tonight is any retaliatory strikes on the United States.
00:51:21.360
We know, by the way, the Houthis and so many other supporters of the Iranian regime out there
00:51:27.720
have abilities to put the hurt on international shipping, the Babel Mendeb, the Red Sea, the
00:51:38.720
But you've got to go and look at those shipping lanes and to understand that there are many
00:51:42.980
asymmetrical ways that Iran can respond here and their proxies can respond.
00:51:48.540
And I would look for that very shortly, because if they want to, and they've shown they've
00:52:03.540
My brother at Kevin Posobiec is already down there with Tim Kennedy at the D.C.
00:52:10.420
We're going to be heading out later tonight to check out some of the preview festivities.
00:52:15.560
And then, of course, we'll be out and about all day tomorrow with the War Room covering
00:52:19.720
both the historic parade and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, as well as all updates in
00:52:28.880
We're going to be pulling double duty, but that's why they call it the War Room.
00:52:46.760
Thank you for stepping out of your meeting to join us.
00:52:56.520
In the days and weeks ahead, because we're in it now, folks.
00:53:02.520
Just remember, when you hear anything about this, just revert back to the streets of Los
00:53:07.060
Angeles and Chicago and New York, that is the, that is of paramount importance.
00:53:13.660
President Trump confirmed it yesterday, 20 million illegal alien invaders, he said, got
00:53:31.100
The second hour of the late afternoon, early evening show of the War Room is next.
00:53:51.160
And let's not even start on the natural disasters.
00:53:56.100
You see it here in the War Room, and we all know it.
00:54:09.700
It's a personal supply of prescribed emergency medications that puts the power back in your
00:54:16.420

00:54:55.140
So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will
00:54:59.360
include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really
00:55:05.760
So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements,
00:55:10.660
and of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.

For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as
00:55:23.600
And because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients
00:55:29.500
far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin
