00:00:00.000 Guy from Curb Your Enthusiasm.
00:00:02.000 Garland?
00:00:02.000 Jeff Garland had a baby with Brian Regan.
00:00:04.000 And a blobfish.
00:00:06.000 And a blobfish.
00:00:06.000 So this is what they're doing, and I think that a lot of people are being teed up for this.
00:00:09.000 They're trying to sow division.
00:00:10.000 Now, I would tell you this.
00:00:12.000 I would definitely have a problem with Donald Trump if Donald Trump lied to the American public and this administration had direct involvement in attacking Iran.
00:00:20.000 Might have a problem with it.
00:00:21.000 I would have a problem with it if I saw President Trump saying, we're going to enter into this war and put boots on the ground.
00:00:27.000 I've not seen either of those things.
00:00:29.000 I have seen them going back to 2011 and say that Iran cannot be a nuclear power consistently.
00:00:34.000 So let me go through this for you.
00:00:36.000 And you guys can send me your chats and let me know.
00:00:38.000 Donald Trump posted this on Truth yesterday.
00:00:42.000 He said, Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign. 0.65
00:00:46.000 What a shame.
00:00:48.000 What a shame.
00:00:49.000 Waste of human life.
00:00:50.000 Simply stated, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:00:54.000 I said it over and over again.
00:00:55.000 Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran. 1.00
00:00:59.000 Somebody please explain to Kuki Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:01:07.000 But that has not stopped Kooky Tucker Carlson from selling the new Kooky Carlson Doomsday Clock.
00:01:12.000 *laughter*
00:01:18.000 Don't take it too seriously, hero worshippers.
00:01:22.000 Everybody gets made fun of a little, okay?
00:01:24.000 It's good medicine for all of us.
00:01:25.000 We just had Tom Holman as the Coppertone baby. 0.58
00:01:27.000 We did. 1.00
00:01:28.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00
00:01:30.000 Okay? 1.00
00:01:32.000 Oh my gosh.
00:01:32.000 And he's going to have a beer with me and it'll be fine.
00:01:35.000 Yes.
00:01:35.000 Really quickly, before we move on.
00:01:39.000 No, by all means.
00:01:42.000 Vice President Vance actually just put out a statement.
00:01:46.000 I think that's one of the things that they're talking about right now as well.
00:01:49.000 So if we can bring the Vance...
00:01:51.000 It's a long post, so I'll have to scroll it.
00:01:54.000 Okay, and I think I'll just read kind of the first part.
00:01:56.000 I don't know if you can see it there or not, but look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and I am admittedly biased towards our president and my friend, but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly.
00:02:07.000 He's been amazingly consistent over 10 years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
00:02:12.000 And we'll provide the receipts, references, always available in every description for each show.
00:02:16.000 Right.
00:02:17.000 And you guys can go and read all of that, too.
00:02:18.000 So, second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of civil nuclear power and uranium enrichment.
00:02:23.000 These are distinct issues.
00:02:25.000 Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment.
00:02:28.000 But they rejected that.
00:02:29.000 Okay, scroll up so I can get to see point number three there.
00:02:31.000 I said second.
00:02:33.000 That was the second point.
00:02:34.000 The second point is the enrichment part of it.
00:02:37.000 It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy.
00:02:40.000 It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity.
00:02:42.000 And it's still another thing to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.
00:02:52.000 That is a big part of this deal.
00:02:55.000 I've seen some snippets of this as well, so I think there's one part that I'm going to try to get to.
00:02:59.000 I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich above the threshold for civilian use.
00:03:05.000 So we've talked about that too.
00:03:06.000 Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.
00:03:12.000 He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. 0.97
00:03:18.000 That decision ultimately belongs to the president, and of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy. 0.92
00:03:26.000 That is a nod to everybody who's saying we don't want to do this again. 0.99
00:03:29.000 Keep it back up.
00:03:30.000 It's a nod to everybody, right?
00:03:32.000 Just making sure people understand what's going on.
00:03:35.000 And here's his final thought.
00:03:36.000 But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue.
00:03:40.000 And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals.
00:03:48.000 Whatever he does, that is his focus.
00:03:51.000 Okay.
00:03:51.000 I think that last part is very, very key.
00:03:54.000 He's earned some trust on this issue.
00:03:55.000 He's been very consistent on this issue.
00:03:57.000 He is the most anti-war president, including...
00:04:01.000 In other words, if he's not anti-war enough, then there is nobody anti-war enough.
00:04:05.000 What did you vote for?
00:04:07.000 Look, I'll tell you what I voted for.
00:04:08.000 I did vote for reducing foreign entanglements, but I really did vote for dealing with the immigration issue.
00:04:14.000 I really did vote for freedom for Americans, freedom of speech, and I voted to reverse the course of our economy, which was moving towards, by and large, centralization and basically the elimination of American Americans.
00:04:31.000 Foreign entanglements are a part of that. 0.97
00:04:32.000 And I will say that him being the most anti-war president of my lifetime is pretty good. 1.00
00:04:38.000 Is it perfect?
00:04:38.000 No.
00:04:39.000 I don't know who else I could have voted for who would have been more anti-foreign entanglement. 0.99
00:04:45.000 Also, President Trump, we don't need to show the clip.
00:04:47.000 He left G7 early to say he was going to focus on this.
00:04:50.000 Of course, Vance is addressing, I would imagine in large part, the firestorm going off right now on X. So it's time for some claim truth.
00:05:02.000 So the claim that you see from the left, and I'm going to disabuse you of these notions, because X is not real life in a lot of ways.
00:05:10.000 Sometimes really just the people who scream the loudest have a platform.
00:05:14.000 The claim is that President Trump is losing his coalition.
00:05:25.000 Truly unbelievable.
00:05:26.000 Cernovich said Trump had a generational coalition.
00:05:28.000 He was the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades, and now he's squandering it for Lindsey Graham.
00:05:34.000 Marty R. Maid said, Trump allying with the people who signed the Never Trump letter and spent years calling him Hitler against his organic working and middle class base, people who were ridiculed, harassed, and physically attacked for supporting him is a betrayal of Shakespearean proportions.
00:05:46.000 Now do Elon Musk and H-1B visas.
00:05:48.000 Here's the truth.
00:05:50.000 Trump has always warned of the threat of a nuclear Iran.
00:05:55.000 He's been remarkably consistent even when he had no ambitions to run for office.
00:06:00.000 Here's a post.
00:06:02.000 You know it as X. Back then on Twitter in 2011.
00:06:06.000 Iran's, it was less raspy, so Iran's quest for nuclear weapons is a major threat to our nation's national security interests. 0.95
00:06:13.000 We can't allow Iran to go nuclear.
00:06:16.000 That's in 2011.
00:06:18.000 Do you remember that famous escalator ride that everyone talks about, which changed the fabric of America going forward for good?
00:06:24.000 That was President Trump, 2015.
00:06:27.000 He rode down that escalator and onto the podium to deliver, in part, the speech you're about to see.
00:06:35.000 2015.
00:06:35.000 2015.
00:06:42.000 Take a look at the deal he's making with Iran.
00:06:46.000 He makes that deal.
00:06:48.000 Israel maybe won't exist very long.
00:06:51.000 It's a disaster, and we have to protect Israel. 1.00
00:06:54.000 I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. 0.87
00:07:00.000 So before he was running for president, 2011 was very clear.
00:07:03.000 By the way, at the same time was against the war in Iraq, and while running for the presidency, said that he was always against the war in Iraq.
00:07:09.000 At that same moment in time, saying Iran can't achieve the nuclear enrichment to be able to have nuclear weapons, and then running for president, said the same thing.
00:07:17.000 Here's another truth.
00:07:19.000 President Trump's coalition, if by coalition you mean the people who support him, it's not fractured.
00:07:25.000 It's fine.
00:07:26.000 So, according to Rasmussen, people who agree, With this statement, Iran must never be allowed to have a nuke. 0.90
00:07:33.000 84% agree.
00:07:35.000 Disagree.
00:07:36.000 9%.
00:07:37.000 Now, how we stop Iran from having a nuke? 0.95
00:07:41.000 Okay, there can be some disagreement.
00:07:43.000 I can't think of a better option than someone else doing it.
00:07:47.000 It's just my opinion.
00:07:50.000 Just my opinion.
00:07:52.000 Here's another question.
00:07:53.000 Would Iran use a nuke against America?
00:07:56.000 63. 30% say yes.
00:07:59.000 30% disagree.
00:08:02.000 Here's another one.
00:08:03.000 U.S. should support Israel's efforts to take out Iran's nuke program. 0.66
00:08:08.000 The total on agree is 60%.
00:08:11.000 78% of Republicans, his coalition largely, 47% of Democrats.
00:08:16.000 And 54% of independents.
00:08:19.000 54% of independence.
00:08:20.000 Now, how that looks, and I'll tell you how it looks to me, I don't want to see...
00:08:27.000 But I think saying an American life lost for Israel is very different from saying a strategic military operation to quell a nuclear capability for a terrorist nation.
00:08:40.000 Those are very different things.
00:08:41.000 But if people simply equate it.
00:08:43.000 You have people right now saying, hey, I voted for America first.
00:08:46.000 That doesn't mean going to die for Israel.
00:08:48.000 Who's talking about going to die for Israel?
00:08:50.000 I haven't heard anyone talk about that. 0.99
00:08:53.000 There's a lot of very smart people out there making very dumb connections. 0.98
00:08:56.000 And I say that respectfully. 0.98
00:08:58.000 I understand that your position is that we shouldn't get entangled in a foreign war, especially not in the Middle East.
00:09:02.000 That's Donald Trump's position as well.
00:09:04.000 And it's been his position consistently.
00:09:06.000 He got us out of, or at least had the plan to get us out of Afghanistan. 0.95
00:09:10.000 He is the guy that does not want to get involved.
00:09:12.000 Not one soldier.
00:09:13.000 I don't want one plane going over that country right now either.
00:09:16.000 I don't want to get involved in any way, shape or form.
00:09:18.000 I don't want a plane getting shot down, false flag or not, for all the people out there who may say that, to get us into a war.
00:09:24.000 But sending assets over to the region is not the same as attacking.
00:09:29.000 Look at everything that Donald Trump has done.
00:09:31.000 And look, if he ends up going and completely fooling us all and he's sending ground troops into Iran and he's going to try to do a regime change in Tehran, fine.
00:09:39.000 I'll come back on and I'll say, I am so sorry.
00:09:42.000 I completely missed the signs.
00:09:43.000 But they're just not there for me right now.
00:09:45.000 This is not how he operates.
00:09:46.000 Sending that over there, what do you think that does to the Ayatollah going, will they get involved?
00:09:52.000 Won't they get involved?
00:09:53.000 Having that asset in the region makes it a hell of a lot more likely that they could get involved.
00:09:58.000 If he doesn't sign a deal, this could just all be, like Donald Trump has done in the past, part of negotiations for him.
00:10:06.000 And everybody that is running to the exits because they're afraid that Donald Trump is going to get us into a foreign war needs to just chill out a second and think about who they're talking about. 0.98
00:10:17.000 Well, anyone saying that right now Americans are dying for Israel is being a fool. 0.95
00:10:22.000 That's not happening right now. 0.97
00:10:23.000 Could it happen a week from now?
00:10:26.000 Sure.
00:10:27.000 But is that happening right now?
00:10:28.000 Has Donald Trump signaled that?
00:10:29.000 No, he is not.
00:10:30.000 I've seen, is it the USS Nimitz that was played over there?
00:10:33.000 So I've seen, this is a perfect example of where people take something that logically makes sense, and if they're starting off with the premise, ooh, it's Israel, it's Jew influence, they come to a conclusion that frankly defies reason. 0.79
00:10:47.000 So I've seen people say...
00:10:50.000 It was in the South China Sea, I believe, or somewhere around.
00:10:52.000 Yeah.
00:10:53.000 It's normal for aircraft carriers and for battleships to be in the area. 0.95
00:11:00.000 Right.
00:11:01.000 Kuwait.
00:11:02.000 Qatar, we have so many bases over there.
00:11:04.000 What they're saying is, those right now who have no bases for this thing, oh, the Nimitz is our oldest in that fleet and is set to be decommissioned next year.
00:11:12.000 So that, he's sending that so it can be destroyed as a false flag.
00:11:15.000 Or, or, the most logical explanation could be, since we are not involved, go like, yeah, alright, it's kind of no skin off our nose, this thing's about to be decommissioned next year, yeah, we can send that to some friends to keep an eye on it.
00:11:27.000 Which one seems more likely?
00:11:30.000 That he's sending something about to be decommissioned a year from now so that the Israelis can take it out like the USS Liberty, according to these people, as a false flag to get us into World War III?
00:11:38.000 Or, ah, it's the least valuable one in our fleet, and since it's not really our conflict, ah, let's send him a gimme.
00:11:44.000 Is it also the closest one?
00:11:46.000 I don't know.
00:11:47.000 There might not even be any of that at all.
00:11:49.000 It might be.
00:11:50.000 What are the other aircraft carriers doing?
00:11:52.000 How many do we have?
00:11:52.000 Seven?
00:11:53.000 We have 11. We have 11. So what are the other ones doing?
00:11:56.000 I believe we have 11, and the next closest nation is China with two?
00:11:58.000 Oh, cool.
00:11:59.000 Or three?
00:11:59.000 Yeah, that's apparently the list of where all of our carriers are at current.
00:12:04.000 So there's no one else in the area.
00:12:08.000 Wouldn't it make sense to send the one that's in the area? 0.98
00:12:10.000 No, they're sending it so the Jews can destroy it for a false flag so that Americans will die for Jews. 1.00
00:12:16.000 It's silly. 1.00
00:12:17.000 You're showing your total lack of tactical knowledge while talking about tactical subject. 0.97
00:12:22.000 I know.
00:12:23.000 I know.
00:12:24.000 It's goofy.
00:12:25.000 Yeah.
00:12:25.000 I don't even know.
00:12:25.000 I wish I had something intelligent to say about it, but it's just straight goofy.
00:12:29.000 Well, and it would be completely like if the Hodge twins, and I love those guys, but sometimes they have some ideas that I don't really love.
00:12:35.000 If those guys, Ian Carroll's of the world, Dave Smith's and Candace Jones, if Cernovich, if they had gotten in, it's Martyr Made.
00:12:40.000 It's not Marty R. Made.
00:12:41.000 Oh, sorry.
00:12:42.000 I'm sorry.
00:12:42.000 I just got to mess with you a little bit.
00:12:43.000 All right.
00:12:44.000 Martyr Made. 0.89
00:12:44.000 Hold on. 0.89
00:12:45.000 Admonish me.
00:12:45.000 Admonish me.
00:12:46.000 The guy deserves to have his name said properly when I read. 1.00
00:12:52.000 A silly, dumb tweet. 1.00
00:12:54.000 Yeah, how dare you? 1.00
00:12:56.000 If what they were doing right now is saying, we don't support a war in Iran, and we do not want to have any Americans at war in Iran and the Middle East.
00:13:06.000 If that's what they were saying right now and kind of raising that alarm, we would all be in agreement.
00:13:10.000 They'd be saying what we're saying.
00:13:10.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:13:11.000 But that doesn't get clicks.
00:13:12.000 Right now, World War III does.
00:13:13.000 Right now, False Flag does.
00:13:15.000 Right now, they're just going to sink it because it's a year later.
00:13:18.000 And right now, C-17, you know, refueling or whatever it is.
00:13:20.000 There are all these people going over there.
00:13:21.000 That's what gets clicks right now.
00:13:23.000 Let me ask you this.
00:13:24.000 They constantly try and have this authenticity test.
00:13:27.000 Who's being fake?
00:13:28.000 This is a real question. 0.99
00:13:30.000 They're saying, oh, he's losing his coalition because he's a traitor.
00:13:33.000 Who's being fake?
00:13:34.000 The people who say, yeah, I hope we don't get into a war, but obviously I've always thought it's a...
00:13:42.000 And by the way, voted for Donald Trump.
00:13:45.000 I believe most people here did.
00:13:47.000 I don't know exactly, but I think pretty strongly, because I don't ask people how they vote.
00:13:52.000 And Donald Trump in 2011 and in 2015, as part of his announcement, his party, his homecoming party, hey, he's running for president, went out of his way to speak about how he would stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
00:14:07.000 That was one of his, I would say, top five issues he was most vocal on and criticizing the Obama administration.
00:14:15.000 He would campaign on that.
00:14:16.000 He would talk about what a bad deal it was and how Barack Obama had no idea how to make a deal.
00:14:20.000 So from 2011, 2015, all the way through his first administration, by the way, when you look at the undoing of Obama's policies, which Biden then undid, unfreezing cash to Iran, he's been remarkably consistent.
00:14:31.000 And so I don't think.
00:14:39.000 Now, you may not like his 2011 position, 2015 position, or his position today.
00:14:44.000 Of course, that's a fair position to hold But is it Or is it disingenuous of someone to say, you know, I was on the MAGA train, but he's turned on us because now he says Iran's a threat.
00:14:58.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:14:59.000 That sounds to me like it's your fault that you didn't know where he stood.
00:15:02.000 And it's your fault for misinforming your audience if you ever even so much as implied that Donald Trump held any position other than Iran can't get a nuke.
00:15:13.000 I think that's your fault.
00:15:14.000 Yeah.
00:15:15.000 And I also think it's just anti-Israel bias.
00:15:18.000 And you can have a very reasonable point that Israel potentially would want to drag us into a war for regime change because it would solve a lot of their problems. 0.67
00:15:26.000 Sure.
00:15:27.000 I think that's a reasonable point to make.
00:15:28.000 And I think if we ever had evidence of them trying to draw us into this war in a very tangible way, then we should take dramatic action against that.
00:15:37.000 Like, if there was a false flag event, I mean, look, you go back to the USS Liberty thing, we can talk about that ad nauseum, but that was, what, 1960-something?
00:15:44.000 We're not talking about present day stuff right now.
00:15:47.000 Was it 67?
00:15:48.000 So what I want to make sure that we don't do is miss opportunities to have good common ground.
00:15:53.000 Israel has been saying for the last 30 years, we had articles going back to 1995, that they were close to getting a bomb.
00:15:59.000 It was five years away in that article.
00:16:01.000 I'm sorry, that Iran was close to getting a bomb.
00:16:03.000 That can also be very true.
00:16:06.000 We've also had Stuxnet.
00:16:07.000 We've also had raids.
00:16:08.000 We've also had bombings of their facilities.
00:16:10.000 We've also had killing of their top scientists.
00:16:12.000 We've also had...
00:16:17.000 You can make the argument that maybe this is an opportunistic strike.
00:16:21.000 Maybe.
00:16:22.000 But you have to read the IAEA report where they're hiding some of this stuff.
00:16:26.000 And they're calling them out on the fact that they're hiding it.
00:16:28.000 You're like, well, they signed on to this treaty and not proliferation.
00:16:30.000 They're doing things that go directly against that.
00:16:32.000 And they're hiding some of this material.
00:16:34.000 And they're enriching past obvious civilian use.
00:16:38.000 You tell me what they're doing.
00:16:40.000 I would also say, hey, I think it's a valid argument to say, well, hold on a second.
00:16:43.000 Israel hasn't signed on to that, and we're not able to inspect their nuclear capabilities.
00:16:47.000 100%.
00:16:47.000 I completely agree.
00:16:48.000 They have to.
00:16:48.000 I think Israel absolutely should.
00:16:50.000 Yep.
00:16:51.000 And if anything, I would use this as leverage to say, by the way, Israel, you've got to let us know.
00:16:55.000 You've got to do this.
00:16:55.000 You've got to let us know.
00:16:56.000 I think that's fair.
00:16:57.000 I think we find common ground there.
00:16:58.000 I think Donald Trump, if you're going to sort of look at his position, you could just say, IAEA, right?
00:17:04.000 Yep.
00:17:04.000 Yeah.
00:17:05.000 You could just, I'm horrible with acronyms.
00:17:07.000 I know, it's hard.
00:17:07.000 You could say, what's his position?
00:17:08.000 It's exactly the same as the IAEA on Iraq and Iran.
00:17:13.000 They said Iraq is not nuclear capable.
00:17:16.000 Donald Trump was against the war in Iraq.
00:17:18.000 They have now said that Iran is weeks away from being to the point of the capabilities of developing a nuke.
00:17:25.000 If this was not a point of contention for a very long time, then you wouldn't have Barack Obama's Iran nuclear deal, which Donald Trump campaigned on criticizing.
00:17:36.000 The world has been concerned about Iran having a nuke for decades.
00:17:41.000 Now, you may say that you're not.
00:17:43.000 That's fine.
00:17:44.000 And it's not the mainstream view, but you can hold it.
00:17:49.000 But you cannot claim that Donald Trump has done a 180.
00:17:52.000 This is exactly his position.
00:17:54.000 Yeah.
00:17:55.000 It's a lie.
00:17:55.000 It's a lie.
00:17:56.000 It's a lie to say that.
00:17:57.000 Yeah.
00:17:58.000 Yeah, if you don't have a problem with it.
00:17:59.000 There was a clip.
00:18:00.000 I saw this yesterday.
00:18:01.000 It was circulating a Douglas Murray clip from like 13 years ago.
00:18:03.000 Where he was talking about how everyone criticizes Israel and is afraid of Israel attacking Iran's nuclear sites.
00:18:10.000 And he said they'll criticize them and then walk home happy they did it.
00:18:15.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:16.000 I can't remember.
00:18:17.000 I'm not getting the words right.
00:18:18.000 He's a well-spoken man, but it's just something like that.
00:18:22.000 And I was like, oh, that's a great point. 0.56
00:18:24.000 Everyone's going to be like, ah, screw Israel, screw Israel. 0.95
00:18:26.000 But thank God.
00:18:28.000 Thank God they did that.
00:18:29.000 Now they can't threaten us with closing the Strait of Hormuz.
00:18:32.000 Now they can't do this.
00:18:33.000 They can't fire this.
00:18:34.000 I don't think that Israel is the ally that the Evangelical Church and that the Republican Party has made them out to be in a lot of ways.
00:18:41.000 I completely agree with that.
00:18:42.000 For example, I think we need to be able to see what they're doing, what they're up to as far as nukes.
00:18:46.000 I do think that there's some uncomfortable ties as far as intelligence and Mossad.
00:18:51.000 I would say the same about the CIA and FBI.
00:18:53.000 Remember when I asked candidates saying, will you disband?
00:18:57.000 Our three-letter agencies, because that's kind of a prerequisite, or at least destroy them and build them up as something new.
00:19:03.000 I would apply the same criticism toward Mossad.
00:19:07.000 But I also don't think that they are the worst enemy of the United States in contrast to Iran, which some people are making right now.
00:19:14.000 I think that's a view that most Americans have, and I would point you to the poll that says 84% of Americans agree that Iran must never be allowed to have a nuke.
00:19:25.000 And let me just clear up a couple of things, too.
00:19:27.000 So, one, we're not depending on the IAEA alone.
00:19:30.000 No, of course not.
00:19:31.000 Because Iran has said that they've enriched up to that point, 60%.
00:19:35.000 Two, it's weapons-grade, basically, material at that point, if they go the full three weeks from now claim, right?
00:19:43.000 So, in three weeks, they could have weapons-grade uranium.
00:19:46.000 Not a bomb.
00:19:47.000 That's a totally different thing.
00:19:48.000 No, I'm saying nuclear capabilities.
00:19:50.000 The capabilities to create a nuke.
00:19:52.000 Correct.
00:19:52.000 Yeah.
00:19:53.000 But what they're trying to do right now in the media is go, oh, no, no, no.
00:19:55.000 the administration actually said that they're actually years away.
00:20:01.000 We're making a case that they're going to have weapons-grade uranium.
00:20:03.000 They're going to have what they need to make a bomb.
00:20:05.000 Exactly.
00:20:05.000 Once you have that, it's a very long process, but you now have the, think of it as the raw materials.
00:20:10.000 They don't even have the raw materials right now.
00:20:12.000 Uranium needs to be enriched to a certain degree to be weapons-grade.
00:20:14.000 Vance obviously spoke on that quite a bit.
00:20:16.000 I'm not a nuclear scientist.
00:20:17.000 Once they get to that threshold, then they protect it with everything they have so that they can get to work building a bomb.
00:20:24.000 And I think Lane told us there was like a 12-year gap between the enrichment of uranium getting to the right point in North Korea until they had a delivery mechanism essentially for it.
00:20:33.000 I can't remember if that was the right number of years, but it's a process.
00:20:36.000 What was Oppenheimer's gap?
00:20:37.000 I don't know.
00:20:38.000 Because that was pretty quick.
00:20:39.000 I mean, can they not be building a bomb now without the uranium to insert into the warhead?
00:20:44.000 We're trying to use the most conservative.
00:20:46.000 In other words, provide the most amount of, like, hey, maybe not.
00:20:48.000 But, and by the way, a big difference too between North Korea and Iran, it's almost a difference between, An isolationist and a caliphate.
00:20:58.000 We're not going to be able to tell North Korea anything right now, just to be clear.
00:21:01.000 But it seems, and Elaine and I were talking about this, it seems like they have an interest in preserving their own nation, and of course there's also China between us and them who kind of have an interest in North Korea not acting up too much.
00:21:11.000 They're sort of frenemies.
00:21:14.000 As far as Iran, they have said what they would do with the nukes.
00:21:16.000 They have said, we want to wipe out not only Israel, but Western civilization.
00:21:21.000 They've been very clear about it.
00:21:22.000 They seek to expand.
00:21:24.000 North Korea doesn't seem like they want to, so the contrast matters because of their stated intent.
00:21:30.000 Yeah, and what if I told you as Christians, maybe this will help make the point, obviously as Christians we're waiting for the second coming of Christ, unless you're a preterist and there's like five of those people, so whatever.
00:21:38.000 I've been arguing with you on Twitter.
00:21:39.000 You think, okay, we're waiting on the second coming of Christ.
00:21:42.000 Fantastic.
00:21:42.000 And when that happens, justice, peace, tranquility, the world is going to be fantastic, every tear is wiped from your eye, all of those wonderful things.
00:21:51.000 What if I told you that all you had to do was start global conflict to make the second coming of Christ return or happen?
00:21:56.000 Like, that was the trigger moment for it.
00:21:59.000 You'd be like, well, maybe it's good to start global conflict so that we can have the second coming and have heaven on earth.
00:22:04.000 Heaven on earth is a lot better than hell on earth that we have right now.
00:22:06.000 That's an apocalyptic kind of ideology.
00:22:09.000 That is the Iranian ideology. 0.63
00:22:11.000 It's the 12th Imam. 1.00
00:22:13.000 There has to be global conflict for the 12th Imam to come back. 1.00
00:22:16.000 So do you really want to give them the means to facilitate global conflict?
00:22:21.000 Yeah.
00:22:21.000 That is in their ideology.
00:22:22.000 That is something that people don't understand.
00:22:24.000 It's not just preserve us and we don't like Israel. 0.95
00:22:28.000 It's we don't like Israel. 0.99
00:22:29.000 We don't like the West.
00:22:30.000 We're probably going to give this material to other people.
00:22:32.000 We fund seven different affiliate terrorist organizations to attack Israel in the first place. 0.79
00:22:37.000 And it's really good if we do this because it brings about our end of times and ushers in the 12th Imam and the global caliphate. 0.99
00:22:46.000 That's a different scenario that most of these guys have no clue about.
00:22:50.000 And it doesn't make you a hawk.
00:22:53.000 No.
00:22:53.000 It doesn't make you a neocon.
00:22:54.000 Yeah, I think it's probably best if Iran doesn't have nuclear capabilities.
00:22:59.000 I think 80-something percent of it, 84% of Americans agree with that.
00:23:03.000 Right now, no one is dying for Israel.
00:23:05.000 And by the way, if there is a strategic military strike, let's say there's an opportunity to guarantee that they don't reach these nuclear capabilities, that still doesn't mean that Americans are dying for Israel.
00:23:19.000 Different people can have similar interests.
00:23:22.000 It doesn't mean that it's being done for Israel.
00:23:24.000 If we're pressured into it, like Gerald said, if we're boxed in, that's a problem, and us and the Jews in that country need to have a little bit of a talk.
00:23:33.000 We're not there.
00:23:34.000 My main issue is, it's your fault if you didn't know that Donald Trump has always said and maintained that Iran should not be able to get a nuke, and he will do everything in his power to stop it.
00:23:45.000 It's not new.
00:23:47.000 Just like I had to hold my nose on some of the gun issues because I know that Donald Trump is not the best Second Amendment president as far as his track record.
00:23:56.000 But I know that.
00:23:57.000 I wouldn't be able to tell you, oh, I'm surprised.
00:23:59.000 Just like he's not as conservative as me on abortion.
00:24:03.000 But I wouldn't be able to say, I can't believe he's a traitor to us because he's allowed exceptions for rape and incidents.
00:24:07.000 But he said it.
00:24:08.000 He said it, to be clear.
00:24:11.000 It's your fault if you didn't know it, and that doesn't mean that people are dying for Jews.
00:24:14.000 I want to hear what you were going to say.
00:24:15.000 Oh, you were saying that it's not unreasonable to say that you don't want Iran to have nukes.
00:24:19.000 I don't want Canada to have them.
00:24:22.000 Right.
00:24:22.000 I don't want anyone but us.
00:24:23.000 Germany, France, yeah.
00:24:25.000 I know.
00:24:25.000 That's how I feel about guns, too.
00:24:26.000 I feel like I should be the only one allowed to own guns.
00:24:29.000 I don't want anybody else.
00:24:31.000 I get it.
00:24:32.000 No, I'm kidding, but seriously, you know, why would you want somebody who said these things time and time again to have a nuke?
00:24:38.000 Yeah.
00:24:39.000 And you're right.
00:24:39.000 He's not traitorous to do exactly what he said in the past.
00:24:43.000 Let's say you live on a block, okay?
00:24:45.000 And you have a house that's, I don't know, on your street.
00:24:48.000 Ten houses down.
00:24:49.000 All right. 1.00
00:24:50.000 Ten houses down is a real dick. 0.99
00:24:53.000 Let's call him Bad Steve. 0.99
00:24:56.000 And let's say...
00:24:59.000 Oh, Bad Steve.
00:25:04.000 There is a good Steve.
00:25:06.000 I don't want my words to be misconstrued.
00:25:07.000 I actually have one neighbor named Steve who, by the way, we went and had these to get a fence because our dogs were able to get through the holes.
00:25:12.000 Love good Steve.
00:25:13.000 There is no bad Steve.
00:25:14.000 This is fictional.
00:25:16.000 Ten houses down, there's bad Steve.
00:25:19.000 And let's say he's on parole.
00:25:21.000 So they check in with him and he's a felon.
00:25:23.000 He's not allowed to own a gun.
00:25:25.000 And he keeps saying, you know what?
00:25:27.000 As soon as I can, I got... 1.00
00:25:29.000 I got a line on a few fully automatic weapons that can't be tracked, and as soon as I get them, I'm lighting up this block, just letting you know all of you can kiss your ass goodbye. 0.99
00:25:43.000 And right next to him is Bob. 0.99
00:25:45.000 That's Israel. 0.84
00:25:47.000 And Bob sees him bringing in the parts to create said fully automatic weapons.
00:25:54.000 He's like, hey, hey, guys, he's able to do this.
00:25:57.000 But I have a straight... 0.98
00:26:04.000 He keeps saying he's going to shoot everyone on this block. 0.99
00:26:06.000 I'm going to take him out, right?
00:26:10.000 But then let's say that you had a rocket where you knew you could take out bad Steve, even though you're ten houses down.
00:26:16.000 Does that mean you're doing the bidding of Bob?
00:26:18.000 Or do both of you not want Steve, who has said he will kill you when he procures these weapons?
00:26:23.000 Do you just happen to have an aligned interest?
00:26:25.000 We need to be able to differentiate between the two.
00:26:28.000 Because, yes, sometimes we have done bidding that are not in the American people's interest.
00:26:34.000 Is it in the interest of the United States of America to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon?
00:26:40.000 I think there's a strong case to be made, but there can be no debate that Donald Trump absolutely believes that's in the best interest of America.
00:26:48.000 So you can say you don't agree with it.
00:26:49.000 You can't say that he lied to you, that he's a traitor, or that he's not America first.
00:26:54.000 His decision, or his viewpoint, I should say, That Iran should not have a nuke, ever.
00:27:02.000 Has always been predicated on his view of putting America first.
00:27:07.000 Yeah.
00:27:07.000 He also just released a new truth.
00:27:10.000 He's negotiating in only the way that Trump could.
00:27:13.000 Okay.
00:27:14.000 If you'd like to read for our audience here.
00:27:16.000 All right.
00:27:18.000 We know exactly where the so-called supreme leader is hiding.
00:27:23.000 More like a supreme burrito.
00:27:28.000 Taco Supreme, sour cream.
00:27:30.000 He is an easy target, but he's safe there.
00:27:33.000 We're not going to take him out. 1.00
00:27:35.000 Kill! 0.99
00:27:36.000 At least not for now. 0.99
00:27:39.000 Who knows?
00:27:40.000 Who knows?
00:27:42.000 But we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers.
00:27:45.000 Our patience is wearing thin.
00:27:47.000 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:27:52.000 He's negotiating.
00:27:53.000 I love it.
00:27:53.000 Yeah.
00:27:54.000 I mean, listen, I know that there are a lot of people that get, you know, rightfully worried about Israel and their influence on American politics and whether we're being led into wars by Israel. 0.88
00:28:03.000 And I get that.
00:28:05.000 But you're letting your hatred for everything Israel right now change you.
00:28:10.000 Trump has not changed one bit.
00:28:12.000 You have.
00:28:14.000 And that's fine.
00:28:14.000 You can have concerns.
00:28:16.000 And there are a lot of people that are very concerned about what Israel is doing.
00:28:18.000 I think there's a lot of good cause to be concerned in a lot of cases.
00:28:22.000 So let's fix that.
00:28:23.000 But let's also not let this idea that Israel is always going to be nefarious and bad and demonic, I've seen some people say, and go after it.
00:28:32.000 Let's not let that cloud what we have known since...
00:28:42.000 And by the way, AIPAC should have to register under FISA, and so should any organizations receiving their money from Qatar, from Saudi Arabia, or get it all out.
00:28:49.000 I completely agree. 0.93
00:28:49.000 I hate APAC for the same reason I hate Act Blue, because they get the Hakeem Jeffries and whatever other asshole of the month club. 0.93
00:28:55.000 Let's grab some chats, because I know we did a whole extra session. 0.98
00:28:59.000 We didn't piss anybody off.
00:29:00.000 Honestly, look, I think it's one of those things where...
00:29:08.000 Wherever you line up, it's not fair for you to say that Donald Trump is a traitor if he lines up exactly where he always has.
00:29:15.000 That's a fact.
00:29:16.000 We can disagree on whether he's right, or we can find some common ground on whether he's right.
00:29:21.000 You can't misstate his position.
00:29:24.000 That's just dishonest.
00:29:26.000 And Lane actually brought something up.
00:29:29.000 For the audience, what would your position be if we supplied them with munitions to be able to go after?
00:29:34.000 Some of the Iranians, right? 0.99
00:29:37.000 So bunker busting, munitions, stuff like that.
00:29:39.000 Israel? 0.53
00:29:40.000 Sell it to them like we have before? 0.89
00:29:41.000 If we sold them weapons.
00:29:43.000 Like we always have?
00:29:44.000 Yeah, pretty much.
00:29:44.000 By the way, not just to Israel, but to a lot of?
00:29:46.000 I don't know if we sell them bunker busting.
00:29:47.000 I mean, they're already using our F-14s.
00:29:49.000 Yeah.
00:29:51.000 I can understand a case we made that we shouldn't be doing that because we're funding both sides of this war.
00:29:55.000 I can understand that case to be made.
00:29:57.000 I'd have to think about it.
00:29:58.000 I would rather see Israel deal with this right now. 0.99
00:30:00.000 If it's a status quo as far as selling munitions or any type of arms, yeah, I don't know why we would stop, but if it's...
00:30:12.000 We've been doing it for a very long time.
00:30:14.000 It's not like they just have them of their own accord.
00:30:16.000 We're doing that.
00:30:17.000 I would sell, though.
00:30:18.000 Not give.
00:30:19.000 Sell.
00:30:19.000 You know, not like the Ukraine thing.
00:30:21.000 For me, the principle is basically the same.
00:30:23.000 If you guys are going to start something, you need to be able to handle yourselves.
00:30:25.000 Go do it.
00:30:26.000 And Ukraine didn't start necessarily, obviously, with Russia, but they need to be able to do things themselves, in my opinion, because they haven't negotiated.
00:30:34.000 So yeah, I'm fine.
00:30:35.000 They want Bunker Bunker.
00:30:36.000 Fantastic!
00:30:37.000 We got 50 right over here.
00:30:38.000 Make you a deal on 60. Sell them the crap we don't want. 1.00
00:30:40.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:30:42.000 You want the Nimitz?
00:30:43.000 I don't know, but I also understand why it's charged.
00:30:44.000 I also understand why people could view that as if you're selling, you're incentivizing their behavior if they're going to continue starting wars.
00:30:52.000 I understand.
00:30:53.000 I think it's a legitimate argument to be made that selling weapons to Israel gives them no reason to try and seek more peaceful negotiations.
00:31:01.000 It gives them the ability to negotiate from a position of strength that they wouldn't otherwise.
00:31:04.000 I understand that case to be made.
00:31:06.000 I do.
00:31:06.000 I get it.
00:31:07.000 I think that's very reasonable.
00:31:08.000 But we want them in a position of strength.
00:31:10.000 With dealing with nuclear facilities.
00:31:12.000 Dealing with Iran. 0.92
00:31:12.000 If we want Iran's nuclear program to stop, we want them in a position of strength. 0.92
00:31:16.000 Why would we not sell them the bombs to go do this?
00:31:18.000 Why do you think that other Gulf states and why do you think that even Hezbollah are like, yeah, you guys should probably... 0.99
00:31:23.000 No one wants Iran to be a nuclear capability, including the people in the world, these countries in the world that are largely Islamic countries. 0.91
00:31:30.000 They don't want it because Iran is a... 1.00
00:31:36.000 Okay? 1.00
00:31:37.000 They're a little shit weasel. 1.00
00:31:39.000 Alright, let's be clear about that. 1.00
00:31:40.000 Iran is a little shit weasel. 1.00
00:31:42.000 You can say that Netanyahu may be somewhat of a shit weasel as well. 1.00
00:31:45.000 Okay, fine. 1.00
00:31:45.000 I think there's a case to be made. 1.00
00:31:46.000 Iran is without a doubt a little shit weasel. 1.00
00:31:50.000 And how do you deal with shit weasels? 1.00
00:31:51.000 You get yourself a shit bet, Randy. 1.00
00:31:53.000 Let's grab some chats. 0.99
00:31:55.000 Alright, first chat from CharleneLG5.
00:31:59.000 Do you think Iran has a plan to hit America?
00:32:02.000 That's why Trump is thinking about going in.
00:32:04.000 Do you mean aside from when in the past they've talked about how they hate America?
00:32:07.000 No, I don't think they have a current plan.
00:32:09.000 I don't think to have a plan they have to have capabilities.
00:32:12.000 Yeah, to have a plan they have to have capabilities.
00:32:13.000 Israel's close. 0.76
00:32:14.000 They do hate us though.
00:32:15.000 They do hate us and they do hate Israel.
00:32:16.000 And it's about if they do get nuclear capabilities, creating a whole bunch of instability, which could actually, unlike the people earlier this week who were.
00:32:25.000 If Iran had a nuke, you could potentially be looking at World War III because this is not just a nuclear power, but it would be the first time in recent memory who sought out the ability to become a nuclear power with the express interest of waging nuclear war. 0.88
00:32:39.000 So that would create a scenario that could absolutely lead to World War III.
00:32:44.000 I did say they don't have the capabilities.
00:32:46.000 I meant here.
00:32:47.000 They don't have the capabilities to strike us here.
00:32:49.000 When Trump said in his truth post, he mentioned American soldiers.
00:32:53.000 Yes, our bases.
00:32:54.000 That's what he meant.
00:32:55.000 Our bases.
00:32:56.000 It means our soldiers, sailors, airmen overseas.
00:32:59.000 Very close in the area, and it wouldn't be the first time that Iran has sent missiles to our bases. 0.67
00:33:05.000 Right.
00:33:07.000 And if you're okay, I mean, people have been okay with that in the past.
00:33:10.000 People have been okay with other administrations, but okay with missiles from Iran hitting American bases in foreign land.
00:33:16.000 Yeah.
00:33:17.000 If Trump's not okay with that, I'm okay with that too.
00:33:20.000 I'm okay with him not being okay with that.
00:33:21.000 Yeah, I'm not okay with it either.
00:33:22.000 When people say it's not our fight, it is if they fire upon Americans.
00:33:26.000 Yeah.
00:33:27.000 And if we're not doing anything...
00:33:29.000 Don't fire upon Americans!
00:33:31.000 If they do, and Trump retaliates, don't say he's doing that for Israel.
00:33:36.000 If they kill American soldiers who are not in the fight right now, if they launch any type of missiles at American bases...
00:33:48.000 I think that's a fair statement.
00:33:49.000 Let's grab another chat.
00:33:50.000 Alright, next chat from Rationality Reigns.
00:33:53.000 Why is Europe and the rest of the world doing nothing to help with the Iran situation?
00:33:58.000 Israel being targeted, etc.
00:34:00.000 They're silent.
00:34:01.000 Love, whole crew, and thank you, Josh.
00:34:02.000 You're a hero.
00:34:03.000 I agree.
00:34:04.000 I agree.
00:34:05.000 Here's the thing.
00:34:06.000 Europe, they have a very complicated history with anti-Semitism.
00:34:09.000 So they always have to be very careful.
00:34:13.000 Germany, England, Ireland.
00:34:15.000 They want to create speech laws.
00:34:17.000 Absolutely.
00:34:18.000 Because they're Marxists.
00:34:19.000 They can't help it.
00:34:20.000 They want to create speech laws.
00:34:21.000 Where you can't say anything that could even have a whiff of anti-Semitism.
00:34:24.000 But when it comes to the actual conflict, because they're also Marxists and they're also liberals, like, yeah, but we also really don't like Israel because their whole view of the world is oppressed versus oppressor. 0.68
00:34:32.000 And, you know, Israel actually has modern technology.
00:34:35.000 They really don't want to get tangled in this because of their history and they feel like there's no good play.
00:34:39.000 That's been pretty consistent for Europe. 0.99
00:34:41.000 They're a bunch of pussies and they've never gotten it right. 1.00
00:34:43.000 Really quickly, just a quick update. 1.00
00:34:45.000 We have Tulsi Gabbard.
00:34:47.000 They were trying to show that kind of back and forth.
00:34:49.000 It says that she's on the same page with the administration and, quote, President Trump was saying the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March.
00:34:57.000 Unfortunately, too many people in the media don't care to actually read what I said.
00:35:02.000 So people have been trying to paint her as, Yeah, between her.
00:35:07.000 Basically, she said that they are not currently seeking, I believe.
00:35:11.000 I can't remember what it was.
00:35:11.000 I saw it on online earlier before the show that Israel was not seeking a And people in the media were trying to use it.
00:35:21.000 See?
00:35:21.000 Tulsi Gabbard even said that they're not.
00:35:23.000 They're trying to make this case that...
00:35:25.000 that there is no real threat and that Israel just made this up and they're trying to use this to drag us in.
00:35:30.000 What is she saying is her counterbalance?
00:35:31.000 In other words, she's... 0.99
00:35:32.000 Her counter is saying, like, if you just actually read my entire statement...
00:35:37.000 Because she did say that, yeah, we need to make sure they don't become a nuclear threat.
00:35:41.000 And by the way, you need to know what they're saying when seeing those in the media.
00:35:49.000 The most anti-war, the most effective administration, Republican administration, in dealing with the border, in dealing with leftist policies here in this country, they're calling out the media, and they're not calling out the leftist media.
00:36:06.000 They're calling out those on the right online who are misrepresenting this.
00:36:11.000 That's a first for me.
00:36:12.000 For a Republican like Donald Trump and Vance, for them to say, hold on, hold on a second, people in the media, meaning you, the people who we just listed, you're misrepresenting what we've said.
00:36:21.000 Donald Trump has always been.
00:36:24.000 This is the first time that I can remember a conservative or right-leaning Republican administration having to call out media falsehoods from the right that are, by the way, factually false.
00:36:38.000 I don't like that.
00:36:40.000 I don't like that.
00:36:40.000 And I don't like that I know this won't necessarily crack through the clickbait ceiling.
00:36:45.000 That's a bad thing.
00:36:46.000 That makes the right the actual purveyor of fake news.
00:36:52.000 No matter your opinion, let's also be accurate.
00:36:54.000 That's why I'm trying to laser in on you cannot be mad at Donald Trump saying he's a traitor or demand his impeachment for doing exactly what he has always said he would do.
00:37:04.000 This is the first time I can think of an administration like this having to call out almost exclusively people on the right for misinformation.
00:37:10.000 So we have the full statement from Tulsi Gabbard.
00:37:12.000 It's 42 seconds long.
00:37:13.000 We have the video.
00:37:14.000 Okay.
00:37:14.000 So we'll play that.
00:37:15.000 Let's watch it.
00:37:17.000 Cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data.
00:37:23.000 The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.
00:37:33.000 The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program.
00:37:40.000 In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus.
00:37:51.000 Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.
00:38:00.000 That last part right there.
00:38:02.000 So that's why I said enriching uranium to weapons grade versus making a bomb.
00:38:07.000 Those are two very different things.
00:38:08.000 That's what she was parsing.
00:38:09.000 She's saying they don't have a bomb.
00:38:11.000 They aren't building a bomb.
00:38:12.000 It doesn't seem right now.
00:38:14.000 But look at what they're doing, and this is unprecedented for a state that doesn't have a bomb.
00:38:19.000 Read the tea leaves, guys.
00:38:20.000 This is not some administration that's just doing this for funsies.
00:38:24.000 So that's not at odds at all with what the president is saying.
00:38:28.000 And basically what Caitlin Collins said was, Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intel community said that Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.
00:38:37.000 Sure, no one was saying they were building a nuclear weapon at that moment in time.
00:38:41.000 It's, are they moving toward achieving the materials they need, enriched uranium, so that they can start?
00:38:46.000 But still, that's not exactly what she said.
00:38:47.000 She said there's no indication, there is no evidence.
00:38:51.000 Of current bomb building.
00:38:52.000 That doesn't mean that they're not.
00:38:53.000 She didn't definitively say they're not building anything.
00:38:55.000 They're not intending to build a nuclear weapon.
00:38:58.000 That is not what she said.
00:38:59.000 And by the way, that's also a job interview for a national security position, where she can't say, by the way, yeah, I'm going to mess up Iran. 0.95
00:39:05.000 I mean, she has to.
00:39:08.000 Choose the words very carefully, for sure.
00:39:11.000 Look, there is a reason, too, that this is the most anti-war president we've had in our lifetime.
00:39:17.000 There is a reason that every single candidate is more hawkish once they become president, including Democrats.
00:39:25.000 Look at Barack Obama.
00:39:26.000 And that's across the board.
00:39:28.000 And I think a big reason for that is, and my grandfather was in the Air Force, he used to say, you need things to be classified.
00:39:33.000 He said certain things, absolutely, when it comes to war, need to be classified.
00:39:37.000 I think a lot of presidents go in, they say they're anti-war, and then they have the first national security briefing and go, get my brown pants.
00:39:42.000 I think that happens quite a bit.
00:39:44.000 And I think that if you're going to talk about someone who's held really the most steadfast, it'd be a tough argument for anyone else other than Donald Trump.
00:39:52.000 Doesn't mean he's perfect.
00:39:54.000 But you always have to have some ambiguity when you're dealing with something like that.
00:39:57.000 Yes.
00:39:58.000 It's always like a...
00:40:01.000 Exactly.
00:40:02.000 It's never a, we're going to get Soleimani.
00:40:04.000 Right.
00:40:04.000 It was, yeah.
00:40:05.000 Oh, what?
00:40:06.000 You guys did what in the night?
00:40:07.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:40:07.000 It wasn't like, Soleimani's going to suck my missile. 0.99
00:40:12.000 Lick the ICBM. 1.00
00:40:15.000 Tickle Iraq. 1.00
00:40:16.000 I wrote, love Trump on the side of the missile.
00:40:18.000 Right.
00:40:19.000 Well, and that's the thing that I think is happening too right now.
00:40:21.000 They're conflating any action against Iran.
00:40:24.000 Any action at all with regime change that we've seen in Iraq.
00:40:28.000 Yeah.
00:40:28.000 Right?
00:40:29.000 They're conflating these two things.
00:40:30.000 And they're assuming that's 100% Israel's bidding. 0.65
00:40:32.000 Right.
00:40:33.000 In both cases. 1.00
00:40:34.000 And people, you know, Dave Rubin made a really stupid comment. 0.99
00:40:37.000 And when that happens, it's fine to call people out. 1.00
00:40:39.000 He's like, there could be global peace for years if we...
00:40:45.000 And I was just like, are you kidding me?
00:40:46.000 That's also not correct. 0.96
00:40:48.000 Nigerians are going to stop cutting the heads off of Christians, which they just murdered 200, I think, in the last week, a couple of days ago, we saw that story. 0.78
00:40:54.000 Like, you think that's going to happen? 0.96
00:40:56.000 You think the people in other places around the globe are just going to all of a sudden go, oh, man, you know what?
00:41:01.000 We didn't hate the Jews.
00:41:03.000 We love somebody.
00:41:04.000 Also, if we just do that right now, even the Gulf states that are not supportive of Iran, if we just did it, they might all of a sudden become.
00:41:09.000 Very different.
00:41:10.000 If we've warned them and said, do not attack any Americans, and we've done everything to get our people to safety, and Iran does it anyway, guess what? 1.00
00:41:18.000 In that world, a lot of these Gulf states that don't want to deal with Iran, don't want them to have a nuke, they still don't. 0.83
00:41:23.000 But if the United States goes in and starts bombing right now, as it seems from what you're saying Dave Rubin is suggesting, you might create some unlikely allies.
00:41:31.000 So I do think that the approach of, hey, keep us out of it here, don't go after our people.
00:41:37.000 And we're not going to get involved is an important posture to take.
00:41:40.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:41:41.000 Next chat.
00:41:42.000 All right.
00:41:42.000 Next chat from AmandaDNice1.
00:41:45.000 Question for the crew.
00:41:46.000 How are cities or states legally allowed to declare themselves sanctuary cities?
00:41:50.000 I don't know.
00:41:51.000 I still don't get it.
00:41:51.000 I don't either.
00:41:52.000 I still honestly don't get it.
00:41:53.000 It's a very valid question.
00:41:55.000 I could walk you through the process.
00:41:57.000 It makes no sense.
00:41:59.000 It's a perfectly valid question. 0.98
00:42:00.000 It's retarded. 1.00
00:42:03.000 Hard R. Hard R. I agree with you. 0.86
00:42:06.000 It shouldn't be a thing.
00:42:08.000 And it seems to me like, according to Tom Holman, it's not actually a thing.
00:42:11.000 And thank God for him.
00:42:12.000 Final chat.
00:42:13.000 Then we're going to send you to Tim Pool.
00:42:14.000 All right.
00:42:15.000 Final chat from Keep Calm and Carry On.
00:42:18.000 Question crew.
00:42:19.000 Anyone else think the cartels are paying kickbacks to the politicians slash their allies to allow selling people into slavery and that the extra money helping to pay for the riots?
00:42:28.000 Okay.
00:42:29.000 First off, I don't think that.
00:42:31.000 But there's no way that you could prove that.
00:42:34.000 I would again go to, okay, let's Occam's razor here.
00:42:37.000 What's the more likely scenario?
00:42:42.000 What you just laid out, where cartels are paying kickbacks to politicians to go to NGOs to make money off of sex slaves and give it to riots, or something really simple that Tom Holman really did hone in on, buy and change the census rule because they want to buy votes in seats.
00:43:01.000 If Donald Trump didn't change that census rule, if that census rule continued, it's a guarantee that that happens.
00:43:08.000 It's a backdoor to actually change the electoral process without even necessarily having illegal aliens vote. 0.92
00:43:16.000 Right?
00:43:17.000 Before we even get there, we now change the map.
00:43:20.000 We now change the seats, the representation, because illegal aliens have a vested interest. 1.00
00:43:24.000 And seeing Democrat politicians elected so that they can get some kind of amnesty would be counted in a census that was designed for American citizens.
00:43:32.000 It's very clear that the left was attempting to steal votes, to buy them with your tax dollars, and there is no doubt about that.
00:43:40.000 What you're painting, after Epstein, anything is possible, right?
00:43:46.000 What do I think is most plausible?
00:43:49.000 As they looked at a map and said, oh, we can change this map if we bring in as many illegal aliens as possible and count them in the census. 0.83
00:43:55.000 Boom.
00:43:55.000 Game, set, match.
00:43:56.000 We win.
00:43:57.000 We can prove that.
00:43:58.000 We just did.
00:44:00.000 So I don't think we need to go.
00:44:01.000 This is one of those times where we don't need to go off into a conspiracy because if you argue that, people will dismiss you as someone who is presenting no evidence.
00:44:10.000 So focus if you have a winning argument that is supported by evidence that is irrefutable.
00:44:16.000 Just do that.
00:44:17.000 Hey, he wanted to change the census rule so all illegal aliens could be counted.
00:44:21.000 And it was unprecedented for this administration to open up the border and grant these paths to citizenship.
00:44:26.000 Record number.
00:44:27.000 In eight weeks, that was fixed and reversed.
00:44:30.000 It's very clear it was a concerted effort.
00:44:32.000 The reason why?
00:44:32.000 Ah, look at the census rule.
00:44:34.000 Wanted to buy votes.
00:44:35.000 It's that simple.
00:44:36.000 I think it's that effective.
00:44:37.000 I would go with that.
00:44:38.000 You're going to go see Tim Poole here live on the lineup, and we will see you tomorrow.
00:44:42.000 *Music*
00:44:55.000 Holman, he does these interviews, he very clearly doesn't want to be. 0.75
00:44:59.000 Like, he looks, every interview that I see of Tom Holman, he looks like he just got off a job site sitting on a cooler, like, I gotta go deal with this bullshit, do this interview, I'll be right back. 0.97
00:45:08.000 I'll be back, boys. 0.93
00:45:08.000 You see that video, I'm curious, what do you think? 0.93
00:45:11.000 I'm not going back to Haiti.
00:45:13.000 Well, he's wrong, he's going back to Haiti.
00:45:16.000 I got to tell him that.
00:45:16.000 The fear, the horror, the hell is this guy?
00:45:20.000 Come after me, arrest me, let's just get it over with. 0.84
00:45:23.000 Tough guy.
00:45:24.000 On what grounds would you arrest Gavin Newsom?
00:45:26.000 Well, that whole thing's been taken out of context.
00:45:28.000 They haven't crossed the line yet.
00:45:30.000 So, Tom, arrest me.
00:45:31.000 Let's go.
00:45:32.000 But like any other US citizen, if you cross that lane, I don't care who they are, the governor, the mayor, wherever, when you commit a crime, Every time you see Tom Holman on Fox News.
00:45:43.000 First of all, they're not law-abiding the entire country legally, which is a crime.
00:45:46.000 Every time you see these law enforcement officials doing flashy television interviews.
00:45:51.000 No one's above the law.
00:45:52.000 Understand that they are taking attention and focus and real dollars and real resources away.
00:45:58.000 Tom, your response to her.
00:45:59.000 I take pleasure in the fact I can live in her mind rent-free every day.
00:46:03.000 And I said from day one, January 20th, we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats.
00:46:09.000 However, we will enforce law.
00:46:11.000 No one hires an illegal alien.
00:46:12.000 I truly believe either goodness or harm.
00:46:14.000 They harm them.
00:46:15.000 Work them harder, pay them less, and undercut their competition.
00:46:18.000 There's a lot of people in this country that don't like me.
00:46:20.000 I don't care.
00:46:20.000 When you listen to Blake and Riley, 17 minutes, that young lady fighting for her life, don't just think, okay, a young woman died.
00:46:28.000 Think of how she died, the terror that she went through.
00:46:31.000 This can be the first administration in the history of the nation to have operational, total operational control of our southern border.
00:46:38.000 We have a lot of work to do.
00:46:39.000 We got to remove every public safety threat, national security threat from this country, and that's what makes this emergency.
00:46:46.000 We need the money.
00:46:46.000 You know, a lot of arrests, more than Biden, nowhere near what we need.
00:46:50.000 What price Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?
00:46:58.000 Of course there is.
00:47:01.000 Families can be deported together.
