Louder with Crowder - 🔴 America Bombed Iran... Is a Regime Change War Next? 2025-06-23 18:14

00:00:01.000 It's funny.

00:00:02.000 But then they're also socialists.

00:00:03.000 All right, next chat.

00:00:04.000 All right, next chat from 69. Question: Trump's got a lot of votes.

00:00:11.000 Trump got a lot of votes by promising to quickly end Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and not get the U.S. into any new wars.

00:00:18.000 So far, over three.

00:00:20.000 What would you say to those voters?

00:00:22.000 Hey, man, I appreciate the question, even if that's a little, you know, retardé there. 1.00

00:00:30.000 What new war is you talking about?

00:00:34.000 Yeah.

00:00:35.000 I don't see a new war. 1.00

00:00:37.000 I see people who get fucked up, very bad. 0.99

00:00:41.000 That's all I see. 0.99

00:00:42.000 And they didn't even know about it until they see about it for real.

00:00:47.000 So that's almost kind of a brilliant, as you guys say, in the Inglafen.

00:00:52.000 Look, yeah, I think he overpromised on Russia-Ukraine.

00:00:58.000 Yeah.

00:00:58.000 I think that's something that he made during the campaign.

00:01:00.000 As far as Israel-Gaza, I think he more so, if I'm not mistaken, made promises to get American hostages back.

00:01:08.000 He was somewhat successful, but not fully.

00:01:11.000 And I think this is one that he could control.

00:01:13.000 In other words, he can't control Russia-Ukraine because we're not directly involved.

00:01:17.000 He can't control Israel-Gaza because that's not our war.

00:01:20.000 In this instance, we had terms and an agreement with Iran, and he has been saying for 20 years that they cannot be allowed to have a nuke. 0.84

00:01:28.000 This is one that he could deliver on effectively unilaterally.

00:01:32.000 So if he was in charge of Russia-Ukraine, where by the way, the purse strings had already been set because that did go through congressional approval, right?

00:01:41.000 Went through that whole process.

00:01:42.000 If he was in charge with Israel-Gaza, but he's not.

00:01:46.000 He is in charge of the agreement that he made with Iran.

00:01:49.000 And when it came time to make a decision, he delivered on his promise and ensured that they did not get a nuke.

00:01:55.000 I think that's a big difference.

00:01:56.000 And I don't see a third war.

00:01:57.000 There could be, but we're not there yet.

00:01:59.000 Yeah, but people are playing a word game with that right now.

00:02:01.000 They're like, what do you call it when you bomb a country?

00:02:03.000 Of course you're at war with them.

00:02:04.000 And it's like, well, that's not what you meant.

00:02:06.000 What you meant was boots on the ground, nation-building, regime change led by the American forces.

00:02:11.000 That's what you've been decrying this whole time.

00:02:13.000 Otherwise, you'd have to say that every single surgical strike in the history of this country has been a war when it has not been a war.

00:02:18.000 This is about as much of a war as SEAL Team 6 taking out bin Laden was a shootout.

00:02:23.000 Exactly.

00:02:23.000 Which was in what country?

00:02:26.000 Does that mean that?

00:02:26.000 Pakistan.

00:02:27.000 Yeah.

00:02:27.000 Did we go to war with Pakistan?

00:02:29.000 No, nope.

00:02:31.000 Peace prize is the latest I heard.

00:02:32.000 By the way, in the other ones, I feel like it's fair to call him out and say, look, you shouldn't have been promising the way that you promised on Russia-Ukraine.

00:02:38.000 I said that with Russia. 0.85

00:02:38.000 I said he's talked too tough, and he's not, you know, people now heard him. 0.85

00:02:42.000 I agree. 0.99

00:02:42.000 You're going to get shit-tested as a president. 0.99

00:02:45.000 He got shit. 1.00

00:02:46.000 Here's the thing. 1.00

00:02:46.000 You can't control the shit testing when it involves Ukraine and Lindsey Graham and it involves decisions that happened before you came in that you can't change. 1.00

00:02:55.000 He was shit tested by Iran, counted to three. 0.99

00:02:58.000 Do not mistake that for his lack of ability to deliver on promises that largely were empty on Russia-Ukraine. 1.00

00:03:07.000 Also, make no mistake here, the rest of the world, the people who were thinking about maybe acting up a little bit, leaping, they went, oh, shit. 0.97

00:03:16.000 We forgot about this. 0.98

00:03:18.000 Yeah.

00:03:20.000 So there's good and there's bad.

00:03:23.000 But let's not call it World War III if you didn't call SEAL Team 6 taking out bin Laden a shootout.

00:03:28.000 If you didn't call it a shootout or war with Pakistan, then don't call this World War III.

00:03:32.000 Really quickly before we move to the next chat, I forgot.

00:03:34.000 So the Mug Club, we have all of the Mug Clubbers who signed up before election night. 0.99

00:03:38.000 You can actually go to the website right now.

00:03:40.000 Link in description.

00:03:41.000 You can only go through the link, though, because it's a hidden product because not everybody can get it.

00:03:44.000 You have to enter in the email address that you used when you signed up for Mug Club originally, and you can purchase some extras of the OG mug as long as they last.

00:03:53.000 And then we're moving on.

00:03:54.000 That's right.

00:03:54.000 That's for you if you want to purchase extras.

00:03:56.000 Mug.

00:03:57.000 Yes.

00:03:57.000 Yep.

00:03:58.000 There you go.

00:03:58.000 The OG mugs.

00:03:59.000 You can buy some extras.

00:03:59.000 And once they're gone, they gone.

00:04:01.000 They're gone.

00:04:01.000 Like stealth bombers.

00:04:03.000 Oh, big own.

00:04:04.000 Wouldn't it be, if it was World War III, wouldn't it have to be a significant world leader?

00:04:09.000 Also, wouldn't it have to be other countries jumping in?

00:04:12.000 Oh, the Dutch country.

00:04:13.000 Yeah, they'd have to be the world, first of all.

00:04:16.000 The world would have to care about Iran. 0.96

00:04:18.000 Right.

00:04:18.000 And then Iran would have to be somebody of significance.

00:04:21.000 Yeah.

00:04:21.000 They aren't.

00:04:23.000 And for it to be a war, wouldn't there have to be a back and forth?

00:04:26.000 Wouldn't any civilians have to be killed?

00:04:28.000 Any people have to be killed?

00:04:29.000 Technically, there is a back being sent to Israel, but that's because they, you know, they. 0.95

00:04:37.000 It's a separate war.

00:04:38.000 Yeah.

00:04:39.000 Israel and Iran.

00:04:40.000 It's a separate war.

00:04:41.000 We're just like, hey, while you guys are playing, we're going to just.

00:04:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:45.000 We're just going to take this out.

00:04:46.000 Thanks for making this extra easy for us.

00:04:49.000 Hey, Rand. 0.99

00:04:50.000 Surprise, cockfags. 1.00

00:04:51.000 All right, next chapter. 0.98

00:04:53.000 Next chapter from Carville.

00:04:56.000 Question for Stephen and Tim.

00:04:57.000 Given your experience, well, given your experience, do you think the MSM takes it personally when something like this happens and they weren't personally informed about it?

00:05:05.000 Oh, yes.

00:05:06.000 Yes, they do.

00:05:07.000 Oh, yes, they do.

00:05:09.000 And I will tell you, that's one of the beauties of Mud Club Undercover that we have is I've told them, because some of the people out there who do investigative journalism, it's all they do, right?

00:05:18.000 And so everything has to be like the biggest landscape-changing bombshell.

00:05:22.000 And I've been like, hey, if you think something's interesting, you know, you can take a flyer and try it just because it's part of what we do.

00:05:27.000 They operate as a satellite sort of unit.

00:05:32.000 And then ironically, because of that, we've had the biggest breaking investigative journalism pieces in the last few years.

00:05:38.000 We've had the Nashville Manifesto.

00:05:39.000 We've had the DOJ story, Donald Trump about them stacking charges.

00:05:42.000 We had Jay Varma, who was then ousted, right?

00:05:44.000 The COVID architect.

00:05:45.000 That's because they're free to roam a little bit more.

00:05:48.000 But I will tell you this.

00:05:49.000 I know, I've been in the room with these people and they get really, really mad.

00:05:52.000 They get really competitive over scoops and they really don't like it if they didn't know something.

00:05:57.000 And I'll tell you this, because that extends to me where if I go, well, hold on a second.

00:06:00.000 There was this information by the time I went on air and you guys didn't let me know if it's key information.

00:06:05.000 Because sometimes when we're in here, I will tell you this, when we're in here, we are actually unable to be informed as to what is going on in the world unless it's on CNN right in front of us.

00:06:15.000 We're sort of in a silo, right?

00:06:16.000 It's before this that we do all of our preparation and then after this that we brush up.

00:06:20.000 But when we're in here, we already have all of the information that we could take in with us.

00:06:25.000 And then we try and deliver that in a way that is as accurate and hopefully entertaining as possible.

00:06:29.000 But yeah, journalists Get really mad and competitive over that.

00:06:32.000 They hate not getting a scoop.

00:06:34.000 And by the way, they have no ethical obligations to revealing strategic military info.

00:06:43.000 They would love to.

00:06:44.000 They would love to.

00:06:47.000 I just thought of this.

00:06:49.000 They are not praising this at all.

00:06:52.000 A lot of them said that it was ineffective as a strike.

00:06:56.000 But remember that drone attack that Ukraine did to Russia?

00:07:01.000 Where they struck their bombers and there were no casualties and they basically called them the greatest military.

00:07:07.000 Yeah.

00:07:08.000 Greatest military strike of all time.

00:07:10.000 Yeah.

00:07:10.000 Remember the phantom of Kyiv?

00:07:13.000 Remember that?

00:07:14.000 The ghost of Kyiv?

00:07:15.000 That was a fake thing.

00:07:16.000 It didn't exist?

00:07:17.000 Yeah.

00:07:18.000 This is possibly the most awe-inspiring modern strategic military strike.

00:07:24.000 I don't want to take anything away.

00:07:25.000 That Ukraine drone thing was great.

00:07:28.000 They did a great job.

00:07:29.000 Cool.

00:07:30.000 Yeah, but this is way cooler.

00:07:31.000 This is way cooler.

00:07:32.000 Way cooler.

00:07:33.000 Come on.

00:07:33.000 You're going to tell me that you don't think we can't just even, wherever we line up, can you just acknowledge that this is pretty badass and pretty cool?

00:07:39.000 And I'm not saying that war is a game, but we're not at war.

00:07:42.000 I mean, if you can't go, ah, it's pretty cool that they took out these enrichment sites without killing anybody and no one knew until you were basically over the ocean.

00:07:50.000 If you can't say that that's pretty cool, then nothing's cool. 0.98

00:07:53.000 You would tell Fonzi that he's a dork. 0.99

00:07:55.000 Let's grab the name. 0.99

00:07:57.000 All right, next chat from Pilot Bailey.

00:07:59.000 Question for Stephen.

00:08:00.000 What would you say in response to those who say Iran has the right to a nuclear weapon?

00:08:05.000 No. 0.85

00:08:05.000 That's silly. 0.85

00:08:06.000 No one has a right to anything. 0.91

00:08:08.000 That's right.

00:08:08.000 Force.

00:08:10.000 People have a right to what it is that they can protect.

00:08:13.000 And the good news is people don't have to protect themselves from the United States if they're not a hell-bent regime on the destruction of the Western world.

00:08:22.000 Iran is not a, and actually Van Jones said this, funny enough, and it was a good point. 1.00

00:08:26.000 He said, Iran is not a normal country. 0.68

00:08:29.000 He said, Iran chants death to America. 1.00

00:08:31.000 Iran chants death to Jews. 1.00

00:08:32.000 Iran chants death to Israel. 1.00

00:08:34.000 Iran chants, I think, said death to gays. 0.98

00:08:36.000 He said, and as a liberal, at least one of those should be of grave concern to you. 0.98

00:08:40.000 He said, it's not a normal country.

00:08:43.000 Any country that says death to America, I mean, I'm sure there are some Somalians saying death to America.

00:08:47.000 I don't really care.

00:08:48.000 I'm sure there are people in some country that I can't even name who say death to America.

00:08:53.000 I don't really care.

00:08:54.000 The problem is the combination of death to America, if we can, we'll take out your way of life.

00:09:01.000 And we're getting to the point of nukes.

00:09:03.000 That's the problem.

00:09:04.000 Iran is not a country that should have. 1.00

00:09:07.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:09:08.000 Take Saudi Arabia's word for it.

00:09:10.000 Take the rest of the Middle Eastern world. 1.00

00:09:11.000 They don't want Iran to have nukes.

00:09:14.000 It is a very unstable, evil, oppressive regime. 0.70

00:09:18.000 Let's call it Taliban, see what they think. 1.00

00:09:20.000 Yeah.

00:09:20.000 Although I will say this, and I'm not approving of it.

00:09:23.000 I keep forgetting the name of the new guy in Syria after Assad.

00:09:27.000 It's Al Sharpton.

00:09:30.000 Al Franken, Al Abeb.

00:09:33.000 Oh my gosh, that would have been great.

00:09:35.000 Just knock out Assad and install Al Sharpton.

00:09:39.000 Please.

00:09:39.000 That's not what Syria needs.

00:09:41.000 Now, what I think you all will understand is the burqa in the heat has humidity.

00:09:50.000 It's Ahmed Al-Shara.

00:09:53.000 Ahmed Al-Shara. 0.59

00:09:54.000 Here's the thing.

00:09:55.000 I don't like him.

00:09:57.000 Bad.

00:09:58.000 But is anyone else kind of surprised that for an actual member of Al-Qaeda, he's been surprisingly moderate?

00:10:04.000 So far, I mean, like, I mean, I'm just, I'm not saying I don't like him at all.

00:10:09.000 And I don't think that the whole thing of topping him aside, he's bad.

00:10:12.000 Bad, bad, bad.

00:10:13.000 But he's not as bad as we thought an al-Qaeda guy would be. 0.91

00:10:17.000 So far, he's al-Qaeda-ing like he used to al-Qaeda.

00:10:20.000 Yeah, he's not al-Qaeda-ing.

00:10:22.000 It's like it was a phase for him in college, like torn Levi's.

00:10:26.000 It's not a phase.

00:10:26.000 I'm not a young man anymore.

00:10:29.000 I was like, what is that guy?

00:10:30.000 I'm like, you know what?

00:10:31.000 Because we were all told, and it just as easily could have gone horribly, and it just as easily could go horribly tomorrow.

00:10:37.000 But he hasn't been nearly as insane as you would think with al-Qaeda.

00:10:41.000 Like, if Osama bin Laden was the head of any government, you'd have expectations as to what it would look like. 0.98

00:10:46.000 And if he, like, came in and just put in a Bennigans, you'd be like, no shit. 0.99

00:10:50.000 Wow. 0.99

00:10:51.000 So I'm not.

00:10:52.000 You've been welcome.

00:10:53.000 Yeah.

00:10:54.000 Exactly.

00:10:55.000 Two for 20. Okay.

00:10:57.000 We could have solved this problem a long time ago, bud.

00:10:59.000 Oh, top Iranian commander, we will never back down.

00:11:03.000 Well, I mean, you just got promoted to that position because the other guy didn't back down and died.

00:11:10.000 You know what?

00:11:11.000 He wouldn't even be able to finish the song.

00:11:13.000 No, I won't back down.

00:11:15.000 No, I won't back down. 0.98

00:11:24.000 Well, that's him in hell. 0.54

00:11:25.000 Yeah. 0.58

00:11:25.000 You can stand me up. 0.58

00:11:27.000 Oh, I am here now.

00:11:29.000 It's the gates of hell. 1.00

00:11:31.000 Shit. 1.00

00:11:31.000 All right. 1.00

00:11:32.000 My virgins are all men.

00:11:34.000 No, I'm still standing.

00:11:36.000 No, I'm not.

00:11:37.000 No, no, no, I'm not.

00:11:38.000 No, I'm not.

00:11:39.000 Stronger than I ever was?

00:11:40.000 No.

00:11:41.000 No, not at all.

00:11:43.000 All right.

00:11:44.000 Next chat.

00:11:45.000 All right.

00:11:45.000 Next.

00:11:48.000 Never mind.

00:11:48.000 No, go for it.

00:11:49.000 But after the, go for it in the middle of the chat.

00:11:51.000 No, it's a rickroll.

00:11:53.000 Next chat from White Juggernaut. 0.57

00:11:55.000 Is it a Rick Roll?

00:11:56.000 Are you going to do it with the nukes?

00:11:58.000 The nukes.

00:11:58.000 Never going to give it up.

00:12:00.000 Never going to let it down.

00:12:02.000 Going to enrich your enemy and then hurt you.

00:12:09.000 You just have to monitor their karaoke and know exactly what they're going to do.

00:12:16.000 Go ahead.

00:12:17.000 I'm going to ask a question to piss everyone off, so this will be fun. 0.99

00:12:20.000 White Juggernaut bitch asks, question, why when Iran actually cooperated more than Israel, who actually have nukes stolen from us, are we bombing them? 0.99

00:12:29.000 Okay. 0.99

00:12:29.000 That's just unique. 0.99

00:12:30.000 So, and by the way, I understand there's a little bit of truth to the idea that Israel stole some materials that they may have used to make nukes. 0.56

00:12:37.000 I completely agree with you that we should have the right to inspect and know what Israel is doing.

00:12:42.000 Okay.

00:12:42.000 That being said, the reason for needing to know why Iran has nuclear capabilities is because they've said they would kill us with them.

00:12:54.000 Yes.

00:12:56.000 And they've also lied about where they are.

00:12:57.000 Yeah.

00:12:58.000 And they've also not Even revealed some that the IAEA was like, hey, what about over here?

00:13:03.000 Yes, yes, over there.

00:13:04.000 And for people who get really upset about the USS Liberty, which, by the way, we can have that discussion and we've talked about it another time.

00:13:08.000 If you believe that the Israelis in the 60s said we're going to kill a bunch of these Americans and then never do it again, okay. 0.75

00:13:14.000 As opposed to friendly fire, my read on that is there were some people who maybe knew better, made a judgment call that was really, really bad.

00:13:20.000 I do think there were probably some Israelis who knew that it was potentially an American vessel and made a bad judgment call and immediately let us know afterward.

00:13:29.000 I don't think it was something that was completely blind in the fog, but it just seems like there was awful, horrible decisions made and the way that it was communicated as far, even worse.

00:13:37.000 Okay.

00:13:38.000 But if you're mad about that, you've got to be more upset about targeting, killing American troops and American citizens at embassies, bragging about it and saying there's more to come.

00:13:55.000 This is when people say anti- You can't go USS Liberty and then go, and actually Iran was more cooperative since the USS Liberty.

00:14:02.000 Maybe we can tell this up.

00:14:03.000 How many Americans have been killed by Iran?

00:14:05.000 Not even including all the proxy warring and the funding of terror groups.

00:14:09.000 It's a lot.

00:14:10.000 It's a lot.

00:14:11.000 There's no doubt as to whether they were guessing. 1.00

00:14:13.000 They said, can we kill these Americans? 1.00

00:14:15.000 Yes, we can. 1.00

00:14:16.000 And then boasted about it.

00:14:17.000 Okay?

00:14:18.000 So let's just apply this equally.

00:14:21.000 Do you mean they were cooperating more because at some point in time we were able to invest?

00:14:25.000 Okay, sure.

00:14:26.000 And we've never been able to do that with Israel. 1.00

00:14:28.000 I understand that.

00:14:28.000 And I think that we should be able to inspect Israel.

00:14:33.000 And I hope that someone pushes for that.

00:14:35.000 I really do.

00:14:35.000 If I could wave my want to be president, it would be Israel.

00:14:38.000 You're just like everyone else.

00:14:38.000 We've got to be able to know.

00:14:39.000 Yeah.

00:14:39.000 100%.

00:14:40.000 That being said, they have not killed American servicemen and women multiple times, bragged about it, and said, we are going to nuke America.

00:14:48.000 And we will never back down.

00:14:50.000 Yeah.

00:14:50.000 Exactly.

00:14:51.000 How many... 1.00

00:14:53.000 I just would like to hear from white juggernaut, bitch. 1.00

00:14:55.000 Let's see if they respond. 1.00

00:14:56.000 Is that fair?

00:14:57.000 Does that answer whether you agree with it or not, my perspective?

00:15:01.000 Does it matter?

00:15:02.000 You say Iran is more cooperative.

00:15:04.000 Do you agree with the fact that Iran, their government, have targeted, killed more Americans, and by the way, on more occasions and boasted about it than Israel ever has? 0.87

00:15:16.000 Do you agree with that fact?

00:15:18.000 And do you understand that the people who have done it and said, we will do it on a larger scale the minute we're able?

00:15:25.000 That that's different from Israel saying, whether you believe it or not, you're a greatest ally.

00:15:28.000 We would never actually, we would never actively try and harm the United States.

00:15:32.000 Why would we do that? 0.99

00:15:33.000 One says, we'll kill you. 1.00

00:15:35.000 We've killed some. 1.00

00:15:36.000 We'll kill more. 1.00

00:15:37.000 The other says, we're friends. 1.00

00:15:39.000 You may not like that they're not good friends, but they're not saying, isn't it great that we've killed you, and we're going to kill some more? 0.81

00:15:45.000 I would like to hear what that person says, because I do think it's important to note.

00:15:48.000 They did reply.

00:15:49.000 Yeah, let me see.

00:15:52.000 Oh, 9-11, JFK, USS Liberty.

00:15:54.000 Oh, I see.

00:15:55.000 Okay, the Jews were behind 9-11. 0.99

00:15:57.000 Come on. 0.97

00:15:57.000 Don't go down that rabbit hole. 0.97

00:15:59.000 Okay.

00:16:00.000 So even, let's take this for a second.

00:16:04.000 Now, you can't obviously prove any of that.

00:16:08.000 You can claim that you can, but you can't.

00:16:10.000 I don't need to prove that Iran targeted and killed Americas.

00:16:15.000 They did it, and then they said, yeah, that was us.

00:16:18.000 So in every example that you point to, it's one that Israel is vehemently denied.

00:16:24.000 And you can't directly say so.

00:16:26.000 Maybe there's some truth to it.

00:16:26.000 Let's even give you that.

00:16:28.000 Somebody else bragged about 9-11, by the way.

00:16:30.000 Yes.

00:16:30.000 They didn't brag about it.

00:16:32.000 They bragged about 9-11 for the entirety of a war.

00:16:36.000 We fought them because of it.

00:16:37.000 Right.

00:16:38.000 Bragged about it.

00:16:38.000 That's what I was in, by the way.

00:16:39.000 Sorry, I don't know if you were there or not.

00:16:41.000 No, no, no.

00:16:41.000 You were fighting a war against the Jews.

00:16:42.000 You continued to brag about it. 0.76

00:16:43.000 Yeah, you were fighting a war against the Jews. 0.79

00:16:44.000 You just didn't know.

00:16:45.000 I'm sorry that they misinformed you.

00:16:47.000 so many more examples of Iran doing it and taking credit and gleefully doing it. 0.94

00:16:53.000 Does that nation...

00:17:05.000 You believe that Iran would go that amount of time without nuking the United States or Israel or threatening anyone after being under attack for decades?

00:17:16.000 By the way, just.

00:17:17.000 JFK, by the way, was also, that was one casualty.

00:17:20.000 Yeah.

00:17:21.000 That was not a mass casualty event.

00:17:23.000 Yeah.

00:17:24.000 No, but I don't want to even lend any credibility to this.

00:17:26.000 Look, just for the sake of argument.

00:17:28.000 For the sake of argument, you're 100% right.

00:17:29.000 But 9-11, there's virtually no indication at all.

00:17:33.000 And I say virtually no individuals.

00:17:34.000 They'll show some videos of dancing Jews.

00:17:36.000 I don't care if Jews were dancing. 1.00

00:17:37.000 It doesn't mean they planned the freaking attack. 0.99

00:17:39.000 Hey, Jews danced. 1.00

00:17:40.000 Fine. 0.98

00:17:40.000 You don't. 0.98

00:17:41.000 Poor list.

00:17:41.000 Okay, so that means the Jews were behind it.

00:17:43.000 Like two people told the FBI on some app.

00:17:47.000 You know, people said like, what, five or seven Jews died during it?

00:17:50.000 It was well over 100 people.

00:17:52.000 There's just so much misinformation out there on that that it's just staggering.

00:17:55.000 The USS Liberty thing is the same thing.

00:17:56.000 You can have a different opinion about it, but look at the facts of what actually happened.

00:18:01.000 Go look at how long it took the Israelis to notify us after the attacks. 0.78

00:18:06.000 If you're looking at about an hour, that's not exactly a good false flag event.

00:18:09.000 And I understand that you're going to vehemently argue your position.

00:18:13.000 I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Levon affair because I brushed up on that too a long time ago.

00:18:18.000 Again, even, let's assume it for the sake of argument, at least one's posture is we are allies and they provide us with not nearly as much value as we provide them.

00:18:27.000 The other one is openly calling for the extermination not only of Israel, but the United States.

00:18:31.000 And it said, the minute we get to the point that we are able, we will.

00:18:35.000 The only point of contention is them saying, no, no, no, no, we're not able.

00:18:38.000 Yeah, but it looks like you're enriching uranium.

00:18:41.000 Yeah, for other reasons.

00:18:43.000 Yeah, but you don't need it.

00:18:44.000 You're the only country that has uranium enriched to that degree that doesn't have a nuclear bomb.

00:18:48.000 Yeah, so we think you're making a nuke.

00:18:51.000 No, where are the materials?

00:18:53.000 We hid them.

00:18:53.000 Can we see them?

00:18:54.000 No.

00:18:54.000 You got to sit down and talk with us about this.

00:18:56.000 No, we're going to send someone else.

00:18:57.000 All right, 60 days are up.

00:18:59.000 Next chat.

00:19:00.000 By the way, thanks for engaging on this.

00:19:01.000 We disagree.

00:19:02.000 No, I do appreciate you engaging.

00:19:03.000 But the issue is when you apply two different standards.

00:19:07.000 I don't think I am when I'm saying, hey, we need to be able to know what Israel has as far as nuclear capabilities.

00:19:12.000 We need to be able to.

00:19:14.000 That's important.

00:19:15.000 And I think that's the right thing to do.

00:19:18.000 Just like we need to know it from Iran.

00:19:19.000 I don't think you're applying the same standard if you argue to the point I'm willing to bet that you post this everywhere that you can about things that you cannot, no matter how much you cannot verify.

00:19:33.000 You cannot with 100% certainty say JFK was assassinated by the Jews, 9-11 was committed by the Jews. 0.73

00:19:40.000 You may have a case that you can present, but I can with 100% certainty say that Iran has killed Americans, has taken credit for it, and has said that they will do more whenever they are able. 0.99

00:19:50.000 Why?

00:19:51.000 Because we saw it, they admitted it, and they made the declaration.

00:19:54.000 Apply both standards.

00:19:56.000 And then assess which one is a threat.

00:19:59.000 Next chat.

00:20:00.000 All right, next chat from Agrathos.

00:20:03.000 Question for LWC.

00:20:04.000 How does the demonstration of military power in Iran and Trump's willingness to use it affect current geopolitical turmoil around the globe?

00:20:12.000 Does this give other countries pause?

00:20:14.000 I'll bet.

00:20:17.000 I think a lot of people already knew our capabilities, but I think it doesn't hurt.

00:20:20.000 It doesn't hurt anyone.

00:20:21.000 Man, it's a flex.

00:20:22.000 Using them is different than having them.

00:20:24.000 You know what I mean?

00:20:25.000 A lot of people have capabilities.

00:20:27.000 Yeah, the flex is more of like, we will do it.

00:20:29.000 Yeah.

00:20:30.000 Don't push too far.

00:20:31.000 I think the next time Donald Trump gives a timeline, again, where it's a conversation that he has started and he can make a decision unilaterally.

00:20:40.000 He can't really use Russia or Ukraine as an example because that started before him and there's just too much red tape.

00:20:45.000 I think the next time he gives people a red line, I think they are going to take it, if nothing else, much, much more seriously than if this had not taken place.

00:20:55.000 It's also a different flex with military power in the sense that there were virtually no casualties that we know of casualties.

00:21:04.000 And when somebody knows that you can do that to them, you know that you're not going to get any sympathy.

00:21:08.000 No one's, I mean, there's very little sympathy going out to Iran right now.

00:21:11.000 Well, here's something else, too.

00:21:13.000 It's a very good point.

00:21:14.000 And the casualty thing does matter because the fact that that can be done, look, when the people of Iran, many of whom don't like their own government, the regime, right?

00:21:25.000 When they see their regime firing rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas, and they see the people who, out of their own national security interests, target with such precision the military sites or the uranium sites in question, while going to such great efforts to avoid killing civilians, their tolerance for their own regime shrinks.

00:21:47.000 In other words, the likelihood of a civil uprising from a nation's own people goes up every single time there is a targeted military strike that shows the regime's weakness and shows compassion from the American government in not killing them.

00:22:04.000 They go, oh, wow.

00:22:05.000 At a certain point, they go, wait a second, we're firing rockets into women and children and they just took out, like, we didn't even miss lunch.

00:22:14.000 Maybe we're the bad guys.

00:22:16.000 Yeah, at a certain point, they're like, death to America.

00:22:19.000 Yeah.

00:22:20.000 Yeah.

00:22:20.000 Why?

00:22:21.000 So that is important.

00:22:22.000 That is where doing it as righteously as you can.

00:22:28.000 As righteously.

00:22:29.000 Yeah, as righteously as you can.

00:22:31.000 Look, I don't believe, you've never heard me say this. 0.96

00:22:33.000 When people say political violence is never the answer, that's silly.

00:22:37.000 Of course it's sometimes the answer.

00:22:39.000 We're a country because of it.

00:22:40.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:41.000 Now, it's never the answer to go shoot up a congressman or woman's house because you don't like a bill that they didn't write. 1.00

00:22:51.000 But to say that there's violence is never the answer, whether politically or internationally, is silly. 0.98

00:22:56.000 It's absolutely silly. 0.91

00:22:58.000 Sometimes it is required.

00:22:59.000 And if you can do it as righteously as possible to remind the world of not only the might that we wield, but the compassion that we have for people, it just, you know, it just reiterates that it's not an empire.

00:23:13.000 It's not an empire.

00:23:14.000 It really is about looking out for our own national security and taking into account the value of life.

00:23:20.000 Period.

00:23:21.000 I think that's a good thing.

00:23:22.000 Next chat.

00:23:23.000 All right.

00:23:23.000 Next chat from MP Tiger T. Question for the crew.

00:23:27.000 How come no one is talking about the 5.1 earthquake the day before the bombings?

00:23:31.000 Could that be why Trump sent the bombers?

00:23:33.000 We have satellite system that detects nukes.

00:23:36.000 I kind of think if there had been a detection that they would have blasted that out publicly because it would have galvanized the world, I think, in some ways.

00:23:44.000 So I don't know.

00:23:45.000 And that's a good question.

00:23:46.000 That's my first thought.

00:23:47.000 I don't necessarily...

00:23:57.000 5.1 earthquake.

00:23:59.000 Is a 5.1 earthquake a huge earthquake?

00:24:03.000 I don't know.

00:24:03.000 I don't think it is.

00:24:05.000 I could be wrong, obviously.

00:24:07.000 That's why I'm uncomfortable.

00:24:08.000 I've lived through earthquakes.

00:24:08.000 I'm not an expert on this at all.

00:24:09.000 And I don't know what the measurement, but as a kid living in California, I think I remember people being on the news like, yeah, we suffered a 5.54 earthquake.

00:24:18.000 And me being like, well, we had one today.

00:24:19.000 Yeah.

00:24:20.000 Yeah.

00:24:21.000 So I don't know.

00:24:21.000 I guess it's something that I don't know.

00:24:22.000 I fell asleep during San Andreas.

00:24:24.000 Yes.

00:24:24.000 Did you really?

00:24:25.000 Just sent him away.

00:24:26.000 In the theater.

00:24:27.000 And I left.

00:24:28.000 I left just because I woke up.

00:24:29.000 I wasn't offended or anything.

00:24:30.000 It was just so boring.

00:24:31.000 I was like, it is a bit.

00:24:32.000 It's still going on or I'm going home.

00:24:33.000 The fault is still breaking.

00:24:35.000 Yeah, I know.

00:24:36.000 I saw that come and go in the media.

00:24:37.000 Like, I would really like to understand what happened there if it was just kind of a natural geological event.

00:24:42.000 I don't know.

00:24:42.000 Maybe.

00:24:43.000 But otherwise, it does sound kind of fishy.

00:24:45.000 Yeah.

00:24:46.000 See?

00:24:46.000 But don't you think Iran would have said something too?

00:24:48.000 So Iran's whole goal, again, get in your mind. 0.94

00:24:50.000 You're like, you're a RAN and let's just give Iran the most benign purposes possible. 1.00

00:24:54.000 They're just trying to counter it.

00:24:55.000 They want to get in their head.

00:24:56.000 It's like the selling.

00:24:57.000 I know, but you have to get out of their head.

00:24:59.000 Just stay away from goats.

00:25:00.000 So basically, you're trying to make sure that the rest of the world knows that you have a capability so that you're now protected.

00:25:06.000 They're not going to invade you.

00:25:08.000 They're going to leave you alone to do your thing.

00:25:09.000 And eventually, maybe you can even take out your enemies.

00:25:12.000 If you had accomplished that feat, not building up to it, not almost there, but like accomplished it, you would have told everybody.

00:25:19.000 Everybody would know so that you can go, see, see, we've got it.

00:25:23.000 Stay away.

00:25:23.000 Don't mess with us.

00:25:24.000 Just look at North Korea for years when they didn't have the ability to launch them. 0.76

00:25:27.000 They're like, hey, I present to you then the West. 1.00

00:25:30.000 Ah, shit. 0.92

00:25:31.000 Hey, so just so you know, the last test for North Korea registered 6.3 on the Richter scale. 0.98

00:25:37.000 Okay, so it's in the range.

00:25:40.000 Okay.

00:25:41.000 Okay, it's in the range.

00:25:42.000 I don't fully know.

00:25:43.000 Was that in the water or is that on land?

00:25:46.000 I don't know if it's like decibels where it's like you go up two and it's now you have permanent hearing data.

00:25:51.000 Orders of magnitude.

00:25:52.000 It's orders of magnitude.

00:25:52.000 So every 0.1 is orders of magnitude higher.

00:25:55.000 Okay.

00:25:56.000 That's what I mean.

00:25:56.000 Okay.

00:25:57.000 So I don't know.

00:25:58.000 All right.

00:25:58.000 Final chat.

00:25:59.000 And I got to saunter out a little early, so we'll be done here by 45 today.

00:26:04.000 Big 7355 asks: question for the crew: Do you think these lefties will start supporting Iran over America soon?

00:26:10.000 Just next big Orange Man Bad bit.

00:26:13.000 I've already seen it.

00:26:14.000 Yeah.

00:26:15.000 I've seen it on Apple.

00:26:16.000 Sure, but I don't think it'll be.

00:26:18.000 Mainstream, no. 0.88

00:26:19.000 Mainstream.

00:26:19.000 And here's the big thing.

00:26:20.000 No civilian casualties.

00:26:23.000 No military casualties we know of.

00:26:24.000 Yeah.

00:26:25.000 The no casualty, you said as righteously as possible, which I was hoping you'd hit the guitar riff on.

00:26:30.000 Right.

00:26:31.000 He didn't.

00:26:31.000 But yeah, I think that's a big part of it.

00:26:34.000 It's like, it's hard to be like, yeah, well, I mean, we didn't kill anybody.

00:26:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:26:39.000 It's easy to be like, oh, God, our country sucks. 0.98

00:26:42.000 We keep killing people. 1.00

00:26:44.000 Right.

00:26:44.000 But when you have...

00:26:45.000 So righteously.

00:26:53.000 Yeah.

00:26:54.000 Yeah, it is hard to play the victim when no one's dead.

00:26:56.000 But it's also indicative of the heart of those on the left who have no interest whatsoever in the United States when you see the L.A. Sheriff's Office.

00:27:08.000 In other words, that guy couldn't help himself or whoever was in charge of their ex from virtue signaling.

00:27:13.000 They had it at the ready because they probably were anticipating.

00:27:16.000 No one thought you could have a military strike and actually take out all of the relevant facilities without killing anybody.

00:27:22.000 They're probably Iranian. 0.94

00:27:23.000 Maybe.

00:27:24.000 Maybe.

00:27:24.000 And they couldn't help themselves from going, our hearts go out to the families and victims of those.

00:27:31.000 Meaning they're always looking for an opportunity to side with the enemies of the United States.

00:27:36.000 And in this case, very clearly, the enemies of freedom, the enemies of basic fundamental human rights.

00:27:42.000 No one can argue that Iran is not against basic fundamental human rights that we take for granted here. 0.97

00:27:46.000 Of course they are.

00:27:47.000 It just comes down to, are they powerful enough to inflict that worldview upon the rest of the world?

00:27:55.000 That's the only remaining question.

00:27:58.000 And so for people in Los Angeles to say, oh my gosh, this is horrible.

00:28:03.000 And we can't believe when no one was actually killed, that tells you where their heart is.

00:28:08.000 These people don't want America to succeed.

00:28:11.000 They don't see the United States as a shining city on a hill.

00:28:14.000 And they don't believe that this is the greatest country on earth.

00:28:17.000 And you know what?

00:28:17.000 I can extend that.

00:28:19.000 There'll be, I believe next week, there'll be a talking with people on ICE deportations and immigration.

00:28:25.000 And we just recorded it on Friday.

00:28:26.000 We just filmed it on Friday.

00:28:28.000 And I was speaking with a man named Chico.

00:28:33.000 Guess his origin.

00:28:34.000 Chico.

00:28:35.000 And basically admitted to being an illegal alien on camera.

00:28:38.000 You'll see that.

00:28:39.000 And he was talking about the problem with the deportations.

00:28:42.000 And finally, he was going back and forth and talking about it.

00:28:45.000 And I said, hey, so you're here.

00:28:46.000 You want to stay here?

00:28:47.000 He said, yeah, I said, tell me, is the United States the greatest country on earth?

00:28:52.000 He goes, it's pretty good, but no, it's not the best.

00:28:56.000 I said, which country is better?

00:28:59.000 I don't know.

00:28:59.000 I don't think there's any country better, but you know, I said, okay.

00:29:03.000 We don't want you here.

00:29:05.000 I said it to him.

00:29:08.000 I said, we don't want you here.

00:29:10.000 We don't want people here who are coming to take. 0.98

00:29:13.000 And then he went on to say, yeah, you know, but you have people here.

00:29:16.000 They work for four years and they go back home.

00:29:17.000 You know, they come in, they do the work.

00:29:18.000 And then I said, right.

00:29:20.000 We don't want them here. 0.96

00:29:22.000 And it's not because you're brown. 0.91

00:29:24.000 It's because we can't build a nation on that.

00:29:28.000 We cannot build a nation on people who don't view this as a greatest country and who are willing to take the resources and take it back to the country that they were fleeing that never provided them with those resources in the first place.

00:29:40.000 That is a succubus.

00:29:43.000 And here's the big difference, too, between people talk about the left.

00:29:46.000 I mean, for example, use JFK. 0.98

00:29:49.000 JFK, he was a philanderer, jaundice, likely drug addict, sure. 0.85

00:29:54.000 He also understood the deep sea. 0.60

00:29:56.000 He also understood the problem with our intelligence agencies.

00:29:58.000 And his qualms were largely with enemies of America.

00:30:02.000 That is a big difference between not all the left, but JFK and modern Democrats.

00:30:06.000 JFK would be viewed as quite moderate today.

00:30:11.000 Quite left on some issues, but quite moderate on other issues.

00:30:14.000 I will say this.

00:30:14.000 I think he was wrong on a lot, but I do think that he hated the enemies of America.

00:30:19.000 I don't believe that that's true of the left today.

00:30:22.000 As a matter of fact, I believe their inclination is to embrace any enemies of America before they champion America's cause.

00:30:31.000 And here's the big difference to tie it to immigration.

00:30:33.000 They say, we're a nation of immigrants.

00:30:36.000 And I interviewed quite a few people.

00:30:37.000 And by the way, at the end of the day, there was a fan named Armando, who was Cuban, who came up and we're going to do a good immigrant, bad immigrant thing because he was like, I can't believe these people. 0.96

00:30:46.000 But here's the big difference.

00:30:48.000 People say we're a nation of immigrants.

00:30:49.000 Take the Irish, take the Italians, the Polish, the German, the Jewish, whatever. 0.86

00:30:55.000 People who came here on boats with no promise of anything other than opportunity.

00:31:00.000 Those people who then raised generations here, right, those Polish Americans, those Irish, those Italian Americans, guarantee you, in the 1920s and 1930s, if you ask them, is the United States the greatest country on earth?

00:31:13.000 Unequivocally yes.

00:31:15.000 Unequivocally yes, and they stayed here.

00:31:17.000 If the answer was no, they would have left.

00:31:20.000 Some did, by the way.

00:31:22.000 Not many, but some returned to the security along with their subservience to the governments they left because they weren't willing to make it on their own here.

00:31:32.000 It's a very small percentage.

00:31:34.000 Everyone who stayed here said, yes, this is the greatest country on earth.

00:31:38.000 That's why I came here.

00:31:39.000 And they planted that American flag in their yard and they were proud of it.

00:31:44.000 And I go as far as not only does the left disdain America today, and I mean that, I think that a huge portion of the left, certainly the DNC, disdains America.

00:31:53.000 I view a lot of immigrants coming into this country right now as people who simply take advantage of America. 1.00

00:31:58.000 They do not come with the same mindset.

00:31:59.000 I also interviewed, you'll see a lady who was Chinese, came here on a student visa, went through the lottery system. 0.99

00:32:05.000 She married an American.

00:32:07.000 And it dawned on her as I continued to interview her, where she said, yeah, no, the immigration policies are definitely stricter in China.

00:32:14.000 I said, okay, why do you think that is?

00:32:16.000 And she kind of, I said, are you allowed to protest the government? 0.99

00:32:18.000 She said, no.

00:32:20.000 I walked her through the deportation process and the app and how people can self-deport and get a $1,000 check and a flight.

00:32:25.000 She said, okay, that's reasonable.

00:32:27.000 I said, so you're married to an American?

00:32:28.000 I said, 4th of 1, I said, What flag do you fly out in front of your house?

00:32:32.000 Mayor, United States or China.

00:32:35.000 She said, Oh, well, we don't fly any flag.

00:32:38.000 I said, Change that.

00:32:41.000 Change it.

00:32:43.000 Are you saying it has to be the law?

00:32:44.000 No.

00:32:44.000 Not saying it has to be the law for everyone to fly an American flag.

00:32:46.000 Saying if you're coming here, consider it your trial period.

00:32:51.000 Show us that you really want to be American.

00:32:55.000 Show us that you, not only that, show us that you are so afraid of being anything other than American to the point that you are willing to risk it all and fight for it.

00:33:11.000 Or we don't want you here.

00:33:15.000 Because just like with current Democrats, you can't build a nation on those people.

00:33:21.000 We talk about nation building.

00:33:23.000 I don't want a nation build abroad. 1.00

00:33:25.000 It's time to start nation building right here.

00:33:28.000 And that means anyone who comes in, litmus test, it's the greatest country on earth.

00:33:33.000 What are you going to do for it?

00:33:35.000 What's your duty?

00:33:36.000 If not, we don't want you here.

00:33:38.000 You're not welcome.
