The new candidate in the New York mayoral race is like an actual communist, plus, continued riots in Los Angeles, is Gavin Newsom the new frontrunner? And what the hell is going on in the Middle East where the US is removing staff from embassies? is something big in the works.
00:00:11.000And what the hell is going on in the Middle East where the United States is removing staffers from embassies is something big in the works.
00:00:17.000But first, Dad raised you to think critically, to value truth, to reject cultural insanity.
00:00:21.000This Father's Day, return the favor with a year of Daily Wire+.
00:00:23.000Right now, 40% off new annual memberships with code DAD40.
00:00:38.000Well, folks, we leave the show today with a tragic story.
00:00:41.000Apparently, a plane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, an Air India plane carrying 242 people, crashed just after taking off from an airport in Ahmedabad, India.
00:00:51.000On Thursdays, according to Daily Wire, it was headed to the Gatwick Airport.
00:00:54.000In Britain, the aircraft apparently crashed into a civilian area near the airport, striking a doctor's hostel at a medical college.
00:01:02.000Apparently, of the 242 people on board, 11 were children.
00:01:06.000There were 53 British citizens, 7 Portuguese, 1 Canadian.
00:01:10.000There are videos that have been circulating on X, and you can see the plane slowly descending over the residential area before it disappears, and then you can see the explosion in the video.
00:01:19.000According to the earlier reports, no survivors at this point will bring you more details.
00:01:23.000As this tragic situation becomes clearer.
00:01:26.000Well, folks, Democrats have been wondering about what happened to their party.
00:01:30.000Why is it that Donald Trump has been elected twice in a three-election span?
00:01:33.000Why is it that the Democrats are currently riding in the 20 percentage mark with regard to their popularity in American life?
00:01:42.000Well, I wish to show you a clip from one of the protests in Los Angeles that says so much about why Democrats are losing support nearly everywhere.
00:01:51.000This clip comes courtesy of an account called Frontlines TPUSA.
00:03:40.000Man Bun McBicycle over there, who is telling the young black woman with kids at home, That it is not important if she goes to work because he has a political point to make.
00:03:49.000And that means that she has to be stuck in traffic for hours on end while he stands there mentally masturbating.
00:03:58.000But this is so much of the left wing right now.
00:04:01.000Because when you look at the figures who are being put forward by the left as the most salient, the most important, the most brilliant thinkers, the people who need to lead the country, they're all from Man Bun McSoy Boy's neck of the woods.
00:04:15.000The AOC self-congratulatory Democratic Socialists of America wing of the Democratic Party, people who have barely held a job, a huge percentage of them have gotten a college education on the dime of their parents.
00:04:45.000That primary process, which said that the most motivated left-wingers are going to decide who the nominees are, that has completely skewed the nature of American politics.
00:04:55.000And as the left has gotten more censorious, they've pushed more and more people over to the right.
00:04:58.000You wonder why President Trump has made gains with virtually every minority group in America.
00:05:02.000The reason is because you have a bunch of privileged white people who don't have to have jobs in the middle of the day and can therefore march for their quote-unquote values.
00:05:12.000While holding up people who need to get to work from getting to work.
00:05:16.000That divide is the whole thing in a nutshell.
00:05:18.000And it's not just materializing in Los Angeles and California, as we'll talk about in a few minutes.
00:05:25.000So there's a brand new poll showing that the new frontrunner in the New York mayoral primary is not Andrew Cuomo, the disgraced former governor who's now running for mayor in New York.
00:05:39.000Again, he was not a good governor, ended up being ousted from office.
00:05:42.000Over a relatively sketchy sexual harassment claim.
00:05:47.000But he was leading in the mayoral race, in this mayoral primary.
00:05:50.000Eric Adams, who was a Democrat, is now running as an independent.
00:05:53.000The new frontrunner is a person named Zoran Mamdani.
00:05:57.000According to a new poll by Public Policy Polling, the poll shows Mamdani now beating Cuomo 35% to 31%.
00:06:07.000Cuomo has been the constant frontrunner, according to Politico, since his March 1st entrance into the race to oust Mayor Eric Adams, with most publicly released polls showing him with comfortable leads.
00:06:15.000The new survey, which should not include a ranked choice voting simulation, so there's a ranked choice voting process in New York.
00:06:22.000The way the ranked choice voting works in the city of New York is that there are five slots for you to rank your candidates, like one, two, three, four, five, in order of preference.
00:06:29.000If a candidate wins more than 50% of the vote, that candidate immediately is declared the primary winner, and that person becomes the Democratic candidate.
00:06:37.000If nobody wins 50%, then the person who's lowest on the totem pole gets knocked out.
00:06:42.000And so if you had ranked that person number one, then that ranking now goes away.
00:06:45.000And whoever is your number two becomes number one for purposes of the voting.
00:06:50.000So it's unclear how that's going to shake out.
00:06:52.000It makes the process a lot more complicated.
00:06:54.000With that said, the poll of 573 likely Democratic voters was conducted between June 6th and June 7th after that first televised debate, which was a complete bleep show.
00:07:07.00039% of the poll's responses came from landline, 61% from text messages.
00:07:12.000That's a methodology that obviously is going to favor Momdani because the people who support this guy are a bunch of white privileged lib college students.
00:07:21.000Now there's a Cuomo campaign poll that was conducted earlier this week and found Cuomo ahead 56 to 44. That'd be after eight rounds of voting, eliminating all the other candidates.
00:07:32.000There's another poll from Data for Progress.
00:07:36.000And that found Cuomo only up by two after eight rounds.
00:07:39.000Bottom line is this is now a two-person race between Andrew Cuomo, who again was responsible for the COVID policy that ended with lots of old people in lots of old age homes dead of COVID.
00:07:49.000And shockingly, he is not the worst candidate.
00:07:52.000The worst candidate by far is Mamdani.
00:08:02.000And he is, again, one of these privileged, Highly educated people who is completely disconnected from real life, completely disconnected.
00:08:10.000He is the son of a Hollywood director and a college professor at Columbia University.
00:08:18.000And this person who is 33 and has never held a real job, apparently, he full-on believes every left-wing, far-left trope you can possibly imagine.
00:08:28.000And this person could be the next mayor of New York.
00:08:30.000By the polling data, he's at least running close to even with Cuomo.
00:08:33.000And if he's the Democratic candidate for mayor, then it would be up to Eric Adams to beat him as an independent.
00:08:38.000And Eric Adams has his own set of issues, ranging from the criminal indictment that was originally brought against him and then tossed to his sort of, shall we say, colorful manner of leading the city of New York.
00:08:50.000Alrighty, folks, in just a few minutes, we're going to get to Dr. Phil, who's actually in the ICE ride-along.
00:08:56.000First, Pure Talk, my wireless company, a veteran-led company, believes every man and woman who's faithfully served this country deserves to proudly fly an American flag made in America.

00:09:58.000The first time I put my Tecovas boots on, it was like they were already broken in, which makes some sense, because every pair goes through over 200 meticulous steps of hand crafting.
00:10:05.000I used to think Western boots were just for the cowboys.
00:10:07.000Since those folks started in Texas back in 2015, they have been changing that story.
00:10:11.000Whether you're a lifelong rancher or just looking for your first pair of Western boots, Tecovas makes it feel really easy.
00:10:16.000You can wear them from sunup to sundown.
00:10:17.000They're built tough enough for long days, but stylish enough.
00:11:10.000He also suggests, for example, that there ought to be city-run grocery stores.
00:11:17.000Because the problem with grocery stores, they operated a profit motive.
00:11:20.000So he's a full-scale Bernie Sanders nutcase.
00:11:22.000Here's Zarin Mamdani talking about city-owned grocery stores and why those are better than, you know, profit-driven grocery stores, the kind of things that have provided food to Americans at a rate unseen in all of human history.
00:11:36.000We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores, whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging.
00:11:45.000These stores will operate without a profit motive or having to pay property taxes or rent, and we'll pass on those savings to you.
00:12:05.000Because the profit motive is what determines how you control supply, what you are going to bring into the grocery store, and what you are not.
00:12:37.000People need to have actual houses to live in.
00:12:38.000People need to have actual schools that they can go to.
00:12:40.000And I think it's so critical that this journey into understanding the way in which we should relate to power, this journey and understanding that it is socialism that we are fighting for, is a journey that should begin as soon as possible for every single person in this country and in this world.
00:12:58.000He said in 2020, That the New York Police Department, that is in 2020, while the riots were going on, should be removed from high crime areas.
00:14:05.000I absolutely think that what we need to do is give support and funding to institutions that are trained to deal with these kinds of issues.
00:14:14.000As you said, if you're having an argument with someone and there's a risk of it escalating.
00:14:19.000Who is better positioned to de-escalate it?
00:14:21.000Someone who is well-known in the community, or someone who has been trained specifically in de-escalation, or a stranger who has a gun?
00:14:29.000And we see so many situations where encounters with police, the police arrive, and all of a sudden the tension rises even astronomically to what it was prior.
00:14:40.000And I think that we need to say and ask ourselves, look at how policing is done in the suburbs.
00:15:02.000Community service, something where, you know, they learn from their mistakes, there's a sense of accountability and growth, all these kinds of things, which for many people in this country, especially black people, are not offered the same opportunity.
00:15:16.000Then why aren't black people supporting him?
00:15:18.000I am in favor of defunding the police.
00:15:25.000Okay, that's the guy who's on the verge of becoming mayor of New York City, the most populous city in the United States.
00:16:19.000They've been churned out by the university system, by a far left in this country that is taking control of the commanding heights of American popular culture and education and the media.
00:16:30.000And yes, some of these people are imported from other countries and then indoctrinated with left-wing values from the centers that were originally created in order to promote American values.
00:16:41.000And civilization within an American context.
00:16:44.000But wherever they came from, they certainly have gained extraordinary power within the Democratic Party.
00:16:50.000And that's why more and more Americans are disillusioned with the Democratic Party.
00:16:54.000I mean, here's Mamdani shouting about the workers' struggle.
00:16:59.000Tell me the difference between Zoran Mamdani and Greta Thunberg.
00:17:01.000Seriously, like name one political difference between the obnoxious Swedish woman child and Zoran Mamdani, obnoxious.
00:17:13.000A union that understands that the workers' struggle is a global struggle.
00:17:18.000And I will come to this site fighting for workers in New York City and standing side by side with workers wearing kafiyas, understanding that that fight is a fight from here to Palestine.
00:17:30.000Like, what the hell is he talking about?
00:17:32.000He's talking to UAW workers on strike about Palestine and kafiyas.
00:17:39.000As I've been saying, the new book that I have coming out, Lions and Scavengers, which is largely about the conflict between people who wish for success and a system that promotes success and meritocracy and people who are aggrieved by that system in which to tear that down.
00:17:54.000That is what we are watching in a nutshell.
00:18:23.000The cost of living in California, it is the most expensive state in America for middle-class families.
00:18:29.000Some estimates suggest that the cost of living in California imposes about $26,000 a year in additional costs compared to the national average.
00:18:40.000California has spent tens of billions of dollars on homelessness.
00:18:44.000And the homeless have washed over the entire L.A. County area.
00:18:48.000Where I used to live, which was a nice suburb, was thoroughly honeycombed with homelessness.
00:19:10.000And statewide, two-thirds of students fail math standards.
00:19:14.000More than half do not meet English standards.
00:19:17.000Gavin Newsom's, all the crime stats in California are completely skewed because California has decided, particularly in major metros, not to count misdemeanors as crimes anymore, which is why shoplifting, for example, in San Francisco has become a way of life.
00:19:30.000It's why everything you see at any store in San Francisco is locked up behind glass.
00:19:35.000Because they're afraid that people are going to walk in, shoplift, and walk out, and the cops won't be able to do anything about it.
00:19:42.000The insane welcoming of criminals to California has meant reclassification of crime and then obscuring the crime statistics.
00:19:50.000So you'll see Gavin Newsom say the crime has declined under his watch.
00:19:54.000The reality is that enormous swaths of crime have been reclassified from crime to not crime or from felonies to misdemeanors.
00:20:00.000Or from second-degree misdemeanors to third-degree misdemeanors or whatever the case may be.
00:20:07.000And all of it can be seen in people leaving the state.
00:20:09.000Not just me and my family and my company.
00:20:12.000Since 2019, California has lost 1.5 million residents through net domestic migration.
00:20:19.000One and a half million people left California net.
00:20:22.000Not gross, net, meaning that for every person who came in, Somehow, this guy is the frontrunner.
00:20:48.000If you go all the way back to 1992, when Bill Clinton was running for president of the United States, one of the things that he was running on was the idea that he was a successful Capable governor of Arkansas.
00:20:59.000Whether that's true or not, that's what he actually ran on.
00:21:01.000That he was actually fairly decent as a governor of Arkansas.
00:21:08.000It's been true since the Obama era when Barack Obama became president despite having zero record in the Senate because of his airy-fairy ideas about how international politics should work and how domestic politics needed to be kinder, gentler, and then he immediately polarized and racialized American politics.
00:21:26.000But this is what the Democratic Party has become.
00:21:28.000Indeed, being competent is sometimes a drawback because if you're competent, very often to be a competent Democratic governor, that means you have to be a little bit more moderate in your policies, which means you can't be as performative.
00:21:40.000It means that you might actually have to do some things that Republicans might like from time to time.
00:21:45.000And that invalidates you with this Democratic base that likes the Zoran Mamdani's and that yells at black people going to work.
00:21:53.000This is why Gavin Newsom, it's an amazing thing.
00:21:55.000Again, Gavin Newsom, if he wanted to campaign on being a great governor, successful governor of California, he could try it.
00:23:15.000They monitor millions of data points every second watching for identity threats.
00:23:19.000If your identity is stolen, a U.S.-based LifeLock restoration specialist will handle the recovery process on your behalf, guaranteed, or your money back.

00:23:37.000Producer Phil and his wife, they've been using LifeLock, and that means that they are protected in the same way you should be.

00:23:57.000Also, there are a lot of terrible universities out there teaching kids terrible things.
00:24:01.000Grand Canyon University is not one of them.
00:24:02.000A private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, GCU believes we're endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:24:11.000GCU believes in equal opportunity and that the American dream starts with purpose.
00:24:14.000GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and creates a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:24:21.000By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.
00:24:24.000Change the world for good by putting others before yourself to glorify you.
00:24:27.000Whether your pursuit involves a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, GCU's online, on-campus, and hybrid learning environments are designed to help you achieve your unique academic, personal, and professional goals.
00:24:38.000With over 340 academic programs as of September 2024, GCU meets you where you are and provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
00:24:45.000The pursuit to serve others, that's yours.
00:26:22.000He's trying to inject chaos into our streets by doing what he did with the Guard in California.
00:26:25.000We will be prepared to make sure people can peacefully protest and that we do not have violence in our communities.
00:26:31.000And then he said, should the guard be needed, it would be deployed at my direction following a legal process, not the way it's been done in California, which I think has been really dangerous.
00:26:38.000So again, that is Shapiro trying to jump in on the game.
00:26:41.000If you're a Democrat, the way you become prominent is not by being good at your job.
00:26:44.000It's by yelling a lot and yelling a lot of impractical things.
00:26:48.000That is the way that it is actually done.
00:28:00.000The city handled things perfectly last night and will continue to do this.
00:28:04.000I do believe, though, that this is all part of an experiment that's taking place in Los Angeles, and I hope other cities was maximizing.
00:28:11.000I know they are because I was on line with about 50 other mayors who are concerned about what's happening in our city because it could easily come to theirs.
00:28:22.000So, she's saying everything is peaceful, everything is fine, everything is being handled, we don't need the feds.
00:28:29.000Every day I'm talking to people in LAPD, again, I have many, many friends in LAPD.
00:28:32.000One of the things that has been happening at these protests, this happened, I know this happened, fireworks have been loaded with shrapnel and launched at officers.
00:28:41.000And that's different from just a firework.
00:28:44.000Firework with shrapnel inside is effectively an IED.
00:28:47.000And some of these are being thrown at officers.
00:28:49.000And the police officers are being given basically zero guidance by their higher-ups or from the politicians on what they are supposed to do if somebody hurls an IED at them.
00:28:58.000Again, these are effectively military-grade small weapons.
00:29:02.000And the police are being left out there, hanging out there to dry.
00:29:06.000And we're being told that the failure here is the failure of the feds.
00:29:10.000And meanwhile, Why are you so worried about work?
00:29:20.000Those same schmucks, those same people are very much in line with the violent groups that have been hijacking these protests and using them.
00:29:31.000There's a very bizarre phenomenon that exists in some parts of the psychology of the left that suggests that when left-wing groups get violent, It is not that what they are doing is really, truly wrong.
00:29:43.000You know, they have too much of a head of steam.
00:29:45.000And so if somebody, if some left winger shoots a UnitedHealthcare CEO, you know, we might not love it, but we understand where it came from.
00:29:52.000And really, isn't he just a representative of all of our rage and all of our anger and all of our passion?
00:29:58.000I don't really see a ton of that on the right as a sort of comp.
00:30:04.000You see it occasionally, but I don't see it as sort of a thoroughgoing, philosophic issue with the right in the same way that it is with the modern Western left.
00:30:11.000But left-wing violent groups have, in fact, been infiltrating a lot of these protests and then using them.
00:30:31.000A group known as Unity of Fields posted on X. Along with a video of the flaming vehicles.
00:30:35.000The post was not an anomaly since the start of the demonstrations against immigration raids in LA.
00:30:39.000The Unity of Fields X account has been pumping out messages urging people to wreak havoc in the streets and give them hell.
00:30:45.000It's all part of a far-left online ecosystem that has proliferated in recent years, experts say.
00:30:50.000Some of the groups behind the accounts express contempt for peaceful resistance and glorify acts of violence and even murder, like those of the United Healthcare CEO and two Israeli embassy staffers.
00:30:59.000The leftist networks tend to be different from right wing groups, says this new study, in that they are typically decentralized with no leadership structures, but they are highly adept at using social media.
00:31:08.000Some have been working hard to amplify and celebrate acts of violence protesters in L.A., Thank you.
00:31:14.000Joel Finkelstein, co-founder of the Network Contagient Research Institute, a nonpartisan group that has done a lot of these studies, says whether they directly throw a Molotov cocktail is actually not as essential as the ecosystem of encouragement and coordination they have created.
00:31:27.000And you can see how this stuff sort of bleeds into Everyday legacy media coverage.
00:31:33.000So, at the same time that this violence is happening, and absolutely it is happening, you have people like Jimmy Kimmel out there basically saying it's no big deal.
00:31:40.000Here was Jimmy Kimmel the other night saying, don't worry, the riots aren't happening.
00:31:44.000He wants there to be a war going on here, and he doesn't care who gets hurt in it.
00:32:05.000It is no big deal, according to Jimmy Kimmel, because Jimmy Kimmel lives in an extraordinarily expensive part of LA, I assume with private security.
00:32:12.000And so it doesn't matter as much to him if people are torching Waymos in downtown.
00:32:34.000Plus, Tulsi Gabbard put out a very weird video.
00:32:36.000The DNI put out a very strange video suggesting that America was bad for using the A-bomb to end World War II.
00:32:43.000And all the updates from the Middle East where Iran is getting feisty and things could be getting spicy.
00:32:47.000First, you might already own a firearm, but starting with a less lethal option to avoid the financial and mental repercussions of pulling the trigger, that's essential.
00:32:58.000But the thought of using lethal force is not ideal for everyone.
00:33:01.000Luckily, BURNA's less lethal launchers are equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo designed to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes without those unwanted repercussions.
00:33:09.000And BURNA is excited to introduce the all-new compact launcher, sleek, slim, hits like a sledgehammer, the same size as a smartphone, allowing you to conceal carry everywhere comfortably and with confidence.
00:33:18.000This launcher fires 400 feet per second with 41 joules of force per square inch.
00:33:22.000It's a lot of power to stop aggressors in their tracks without having to deal with the complexities of actually, you know, killing somebody.
00:33:27.000One thing I love about Burna is that they are American.
00:33:29.000Over 80% of the components in the compact launcher are sourced in the United States.
00:33:33.000Their pistols are hand-assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:33:36.000I have peace of mind knowing I've got a Burna in the house.
00:33:40.000You wouldn't want to do that with an actual firearm.
00:33:42.000Burna is legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, can be shipped directly to your door.
00:33:46.000Plus, Burna is trusted by hundreds of police departments and government agencies worldwide.
00:33:50.000Thank you to Burn Up for sponsoring this video.
00:33:52.000Well, joining us on the line to discuss what has been happening in L.A. and the legacy media's false coverage of what's happening in L.A., Dr. Phil McGraw.
00:34:00.000He is now hosting Dr. Phil Primetime on his own network, Merritt Street Media, where he stands for common sense and free speech.
00:34:05.000He was in an ICE ride-along, actually.
00:34:15.000Well, Ben, one thing that Tom Holman, Homeland Security and ICE want is transparency about what they're doing.
00:34:25.000And I did interview Tom before the operation started, and I was at ICE headquarters in L.A. to talk about it before it began.
00:34:40.000I was not embedded with the agents when they made the actual arrest, but I was with Tom.
00:34:51.000And we hung back and let them do what they were doing.
00:34:55.000And then we got back on the streets when the protests started.
00:35:00.000And one of the things that I've been impacted by is how different what actually happened is with what's been reported by the legacy media.
00:35:12.000What actually went down here is this was an interagency operation.
00:35:17.000And not all the agencies were involved with every stop on the way, but this involved the U.S. Marshals, the FBI, ATF, ICE, and some of the other agencies.
00:35:34.000And the one that is getting all the attention, there was a search warrant.
00:35:41.000And as you know, you have to show probable cause to get a search warrant.
00:35:45.000And so there was a tremendous amount of evidence presented to a federal judge about this one organization that's alleged to be a criminal organization.
00:35:54.000And the evidence suggested that they had undervalued imports $80 million or more.
00:36:02.000Some of it counterfeit inventory that they had brought in, that they had underpaid tariffs like $17 million.
00:36:11.000Half of their workforce were illegal immigrants.
00:36:15.000And so they got a search warrant to go in and find out if these things, in fact, were true.
00:36:22.000And so they executed this search warrant.
00:36:26.000And when they did, they found a lot of illegal immigrants in there.
00:36:30.000And among those, We're drug traffickers, some with domestic violence, a 55-year-old illegal alien from the Philippines that was convicted of burglary, penetration with a foreign object, assault with an attempt to commit a Mexican national with a rap sheet that included shooting up a house and a vehicle with people inside, battery of a spouse or cohabitant.
00:36:57.000Willful cruelty to a child, driving under the influence, assault with a semi-automatic weapon, an illegal alien from Vietnam with a criminal history that included a conviction for second-degree murder.
00:37:09.000These were not just your moms and dads.
00:37:14.000And look, nobody questions the humanity of some of the people that come across the border illegally, but that doesn't make them immune from the law.
00:37:24.000So they made these orderly arrests of those people that were here illegally while they were executing the search warrant.
00:38:13.000And Dr. Fultz, one of the things that's really amazing about this is, as you say, the way that the legacy media portrayed the raids themselves was that the raids were essentially – And what you're saying is that that was not the purpose of the original raids in the first place.
00:39:35.000I don't know if it's 30 days, 60 days, whatever.
00:39:42.000When they get there, they give them $1,000 to get back on their feet in the country that they came from so they can get things going again.
00:39:50.000But look, these are laws that were passed by the elected officials of the people in the part of California that they're now doing these protests.
00:40:18.000If you don't like it and maybe they're not the best laws, then change them.
00:40:22.000But don't attack federal officers that are out there on the street or you're going to jail.
00:40:26.000So, Dr. Phil, one of the lines that's been used by the Democrats and, again, some of the legacy media is that Really, there's nothing big going on on the streets in Los Angeles at all, that this was all ginned up by the Trump administration in order to polarize the debate, that these are all peaceful protesters, there's no violence, there's no graffiti, there's no crime actually going on, and that it's all being played up.
00:43:22.000Well, folks, all of this is likely to come to a head on Saturday.
00:43:26.000Saturday, of course, is the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the United States Army, and President Trump is going to celebrate it by having a gigantic military parade.
00:43:36.000According to CBS News, the event, according to Army officials, is expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, as well as about 150 vehicles and over 50 aircraft in the celebration.
00:43:45.000Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend the festivities, according to D.C. officials.
00:43:56.000This is happening because the Second Continental Congress on June 14th, 1775, voted to establish official companies following the fighting at Lexington and Concord against British troops.
00:44:06.000So it can be fairly said to have effectively led off the American Revolutionary War.
00:44:11.000Apparently, the festival and parade could cost somewhere between $25 and $45 million.
00:44:16.000The Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the United States has an amazing opportunity to tell a story about the Army.
00:44:21.000So, the left, of course, is using this as an opportunity to launch further protests.
00:44:26.000And you have to understand that as part of their broader narrative scheme here, the idea is that President Trump activating the National Guard in Los Angeles to stop rioting and looting in that city, that is the predicate to an authoritarian takeover.
00:44:39.000And the imagery of authoritarianism is the United States Army marching in celebration of its establishment 250 years ago in Washington, D.C. And so a group called No Kings President Trump, for his part, he says, listen, if they get violent or something, then we will actually stop it in Washington, D.C. And we're going to be celebrating big on Saturday.
00:45:05.000We're going to have a lot of, and if there's any protest that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force.
00:45:10.000By the way, for those people that want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force.
00:45:14.000And I haven't even heard about a protest.
00:45:17.000But, you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force.
00:45:23.000So, again, he doesn't mean people who are just protesting.
00:45:26.000He means people who violate the law, presumably.
00:45:28.000Well, the No Kings protests are supposed to take place across the country.
00:45:32.000Supposedly, there are 1,800 protests planned across the country for June 14th, according to Newsweek.
00:45:38.000Now, not all of those protests are going to be huge.
00:45:40.000The way that you start a protest, apparently, is you go to the No Kings website and then you essentially register yourself as a protest.
00:45:45.000So it might be However, this is the first kind of major nationwide protest movement against President Trump since his re-inauguration in January.
00:46:01.000Of course, this sort of stuff was commonplace during the first Trump administration.
00:46:04.000We saw the Women's March every single year.
00:46:07.000You would see various Black Lives Matter marches in 2020 and then riots in 2020.
00:46:13.000And it is all coming together around the idea that President Trump is a would-be dictator.
00:46:18.000According to organizers, the No Kings protests are being held to stand up against, quote, authoritarianism, billionaire first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.
00:46:28.000It's all the same groups who are getting together in order to essentially create a hubbub about how much they hate President Trump.
00:46:34.000So, a list of the sponsors of the No Kings movement includes Bernie, like his movement.
00:46:41.000Greenpeace, the ACLU, Dem List, Human Rights Campaign, Move On, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, the Organization for Black Struggle, all the usual suspects.
00:46:50.000So it is the random agglomeration of left-wing causes who just hate President Trump.
00:47:32.000Quote, he's using our tax dollars to pay for his party.
00:47:36.000President Trump's birthday celebration is expected to cost millions of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid.
00:47:43.000First of all, there's been no cut to Social Security.
00:47:45.000When it comes to Medicaid, we are talking about work requirements for Medicaid.
00:47:50.000We've talked about better authorization of SNAP funds to make sure that people who need it are the ones who are actually getting it as opposed to others.
00:47:58.000And again, this isn't a birthday party for President Trump, so that's not going to work.
00:49:10.000For anyone who thinks he's gone too far, this movement is for you.
00:49:14.000Hilariously, they are claiming that this protest better represents the establishment of the army than the parade for the United States Army.
00:49:21.000Quote, the army's birthday isn't about parades or pageantry.
00:49:24.000It marks the beginning of America's rejection of kings.
00:49:41.000Well, if you're worried about kings and inherited power and wealth, it's a little ironic that one of the chief sponsors of No Kings is a person named Christy Walton, who, of course, is an heiress of the Walton family, as in Walmart.
00:49:55.000Some people are trying to organize a boycott of Walmart based on this.
00:50:48.000Again, I predicted late last week that probably the feud would peter out because there really was no serious interest on either side for the feud.
00:50:55.000Elon Musk wants to continue to provide SpaceX vehicles to the United States government.
00:50:58.000The United States government would like to continue using those SpaceX vehicles.
00:51:02.000So the sort of extension of this snafu was in no one's best interest.
00:51:08.000Elon put out a tweet yesterday on X, quote, I regret some of my posts about President Trump last week.
00:51:23.000But that is a good thing for the Republican Party.
00:51:26.000You don't want those two in open warfare for a prolonged period of time.
00:51:30.000Meanwhile, one of the things that's so fascinating about the Trump era is that because President Trump is a larger-than-life figure, and because he is a post-ideological figure, because he doesn't have any thorough-going governing philosophy, there's all sorts of debate that happens under the hood inside the GOP, generally.
00:51:45.000As I pointed out before, the GOP is not a conservative movement, really.
00:51:49.000It is an anti-left movement, and that draws people People from the isolationists on foreign policy to the more hawkish on foreign policy.
00:51:57.000People who are pro-choice on abortion.
00:52:37.000And it does speak to Tulsi Gabbard is a lifelong Democrat.
00:52:44.000She joined the Republican Party only recently, of course.
00:52:47.000She was noted for her almost Chomsky-esque foreign policy views, even when she was a Democrat.
00:52:53.000And now she put out a video while she's DNI, which is strange, right?
00:52:57.000You don't normally hear from the director of national intelligence.
00:52:59.000When's the last time you heard from Dan Coates or something?
00:53:02.000John Ratcliffe is the head of the CIA.
00:53:04.000When's the last time you heard from him?
00:53:05.000But Tulsi Gabbard, of course, has presidential aspirations of her own.
00:53:09.000And she put out a very bizarre video that I think speaks to the horseshoe theory connection between the isolationist right and the Howard Zinn left, which sound almost identical at this point.
00:53:21.000This has consequences in a couple of senses.
00:53:23.000One, it has consequences because obviously this is a very open debate inside the Trump administration.
00:53:28.000You have people ranging from the hawkish, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, on foreign policy, to the incredibly dovish, borderline left wing, like Tulsi Gabbard.
00:53:45.000And your own political biases could definitely play into that.
00:53:48.000In any case, this video made a lot of waves for good reason, mainly because many of the things she's saying here are pretty egregious.
00:53:58.000I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago.
00:54:17.000It's hard for me to find the words to express what I saw.
00:54:22.000The stories that I heard, the haunting sadness that still remains.
00:54:26.000This is an experience that will stay with me forever.
00:54:31.000This attack obliterated the city, killed over 300,000 people, many dying instantly while others died from severe burns, injuries, radiation sickness, and cancer that set in in the following months and years.
00:54:52.000The survivors, the hibokusha, they carried the pain of extreme burns, radiation sickness, and loss for decades.
00:55:04.000survivors of this attack were asked to put in paintings and drawings their own memories and how they felt and what they saw and those paintings
00:55:32.000Okay, so, first of all, that is straight out of like a Howard Zinn documentary.
00:55:36.000Okay, yes, dropping an atomic weapon has massive consequences.
00:55:40.000Yes, there is carnage that emerges from dropping a nuclear weapon.
00:55:44.000Everyone knows this, and no one is taking that lightly.
00:55:52.000And she is dropping a video about how terrible the dropping of the A-bomb was.
00:55:57.000So first of all, to pretend there's no political undertone here is silly.
00:56:00.000There are a bunch of people on the right, including Tucker Carlson, some of his historian guests, who have suggested that the United States was evil for dropping the atomic bomb.
00:56:09.000That's the word they use, evil for dropping the atomic bomb.
00:56:13.000There's no question that's what she's doing.
00:56:15.000And so I think at this point it is worthwhile noting.
00:56:17.000That the dropping of the atomic bomb, ending World War II, was better than the alternative, which was a full-scale invasion by the Russians from the North and the Americans into Japan.
00:56:32.000And the alternative would have been horrifying for both the Japanese and for the Americans.
00:56:38.000This kind of bizarre retcon of American history, where America was the bad guy in World War II because we dropped an A-bomb, actually two A-bombs, in order to end.
00:56:48.000That is historical revisionism of the highest order.
00:56:52.000The historian named Mark Rigg recently came out with a book called Japan's Holocaust, talking about the fact that the Japanese have sort of gotten off lightly in the view of many historians based on their conduct between the 1920s and the end of World War II, responsible for the killing of at least 30 million people in China, throughout the British-occupied areas of Southeast Asia, through India, through the Philippines.
00:57:17.000Mark Rigg points out that if you were to spec out how many Japanese would have died during a full-scale invasion of the four main Japanese islands, the answer was astonishing.
00:57:29.000Because actually, there were places that the United States fought the Japanese on Japanese-controlled and populated islands in the Pacific.
00:57:38.000And at least 50% of the Japanese civilians in those areas died during battles like Saipan, Tinian, So, if that had been applied to Japan, more broadly speaking, you're talking about millions of Japanese civilians who likely would have died in Japan if the United States and Russia had been forced to invade the nation's four main islands.
00:58:01.000As Rigg points out, throughout the summer of 1945, over 3,000 ships were being readied for this invasion.
00:58:07.000Millions of Allied troops trained for it.
00:58:09.000Historian Richard Frank said, quote, in face of the evidence, it is fantasy, not history, to believe the end of the war was at hand before the use of the atomic bomb.
00:58:17.000According to the records, allies would have encountered up to 10,000 kamikaze planes.
00:58:24.000Vice Admiral Takejiro Onishi believed that if the nation was willing to, quote, sacrifice 20 million Japanese lives in a special attack effort, victory will be ours.
00:58:34.000That was the Vice Admiral of the Navy.
00:58:37.000According to Rigg, during the planning of the last-ditch operation, Japanese mobilized all of their citizens, all of it, out of a population of 71 million people.
00:58:45.000They had 6 million servicemen and an additional 18 million citizen soldiers.
00:58:50.000That'd be men between the ages of 15 and 60 and women between the ages of 17 and 40. Children were even trained to carry backpacks of explosives to throw themselves under the treads of tanks as what they called Sherman carpets.
00:59:02.000Conservative estimates of Japanese deaths for the total invasion numbered upwards of 10 million.
00:59:07.000The Secretary of War at the time, Henry Stimson, his staff estimated that conquering Japan would cost It would have cost the Japanese somewhere between 5 and 10 million dead, according to the Americans' estimates.
00:59:24.000To understand the way this works, you have to understand that the Japanese had been trained by the emperor and by his entire system to die for the emperor.
00:59:39.000Half of the 381,550 Japanese in the Philippines and more than a third, if not half of the 300,000 civilians on Okinawa and 40,000 on Saipanian died or killed themselves during those battles.
00:59:51.000In preparation for an invasion of Japan, America produced half a million Purple Hearts.
00:59:58.000And by the way, even after the dropping of the atomic bomb, there was an attempted coup to stop a recording of Hirohito surrendering from actually being made public.
01:00:08.000Apparently, So, again, tremendous suffering takes place in war.
01:00:28.000War is, in and of itself, a horrifying thing, obviously.
01:00:33.000But what is she attempting to convey with this video?
01:00:34.000It's not just that, that, There's no way to take this video as anything but a critique of America dropping the A-bomb during World War II, and that is more broadly connected to a critique of American foreign policy that suggests that when America is muscular in pursuit of its own interests, this raises the prospect of nuclear war, and that's where she goes next.
01:00:55.000This one bomb that caused so much destruction on Hiroshima was tiny compared to today's nuclear bombs.
01:01:03.000The bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima had a yield of just 15 kilotons of TNT, whereas today's nuclear warheads range in size from 100 kilotons to over 1 megaton.
01:01:16.000A single nuclear weapon today could kill millions in just minutes.
01:01:21.000Just one of these nuclear bombs would vaporize everything at its core.
01:01:58.000Nuclear war is bad, yes, we all agree.
01:02:02.000This isn't some made-up science fiction story.
01:02:05.000This is the reality of what's at stake, what we are facing now.
01:02:10.000Because as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.
01:02:27.000Tulsi Gabbard horseshoe theory that includes top members of the Trump administration.
01:02:31.000It's a debate inside the Republican Party.
01:02:33.000The idea here is that if you wish to stand up to aggressors against America's interests or to enemies of the United States, somehow you're fomenting nuclear war.
01:02:42.000First of all, let's make a quick point.
01:02:45.000Presumably one of the things she's talking about here is Iran.
01:02:47.000Because Iran is attempting to gain a nuclear weapon.
01:02:49.000And many of the same restrainers, so-called restrainers in the administration, who spend their days leaking to Politico, like all day long, just leaking to Politico.
01:02:57.000From the White House, many of those same restrainers are suggesting that a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would somehow raise the possibility of nuclear war.
01:03:07.000If nuclear weapons are bad in their use and their fallout, all of which I agree with, if that's the case, why would you want a bunch of radical Islamists to have one?
01:03:19.000Why would that be a thing that you want to pursue?
01:03:25.000That when America pursues her interests, or America's allies pursue her interests, this foments nuclear war.
01:03:30.000When China expands its authoritarian structure around the world, when Russia tries to invade sovereign countries, when Russia threatens nuclear war openly, apparently that's of no consequence.
01:03:41.000The big problem is when America stands up for her interests.
01:03:44.000This new cult restrainer philosophy, it's not a restrainer philosophy.
01:03:48.000It's the same crap that we heard from the left in the 1960s in the United States when they were suggesting that we needed to capitulate to the wishes of the Soviet Union.
01:04:03.000Now here is Tulsi Gabbard finishing up.
01:04:06.000Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to.
01:04:17.000So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness.
01:04:24.000We must reject this path to nuclear war and work toward a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.
01:04:33.000Now, what exactly is she even talking about here?
01:04:35.000So the idea is that if you want America to stand up strongly for interest, you know, peace through strength, President Trump's actual pitch for over a decade, she's the one disagreeing with Trump here, that if you wish to do that, because I don't see President Trump unilaterally attempting to get rid of our nuclear weapons.
01:04:50.000If you do that, it must be because you're building a nuclear bunker for yourself somewhere.
01:04:56.000This is just paranoid, delusional fantasy from the director of national intelligence.
01:05:01.000It is a very bad look for the director of national intelligence.
01:05:05.000I don't think there's a reason why she needs to do this.
01:05:07.000And there's only one reason to do this, and that is, again, to push a particular perspective that was very prevalent during the Obama administration, that if you oppose a dovish foreign policy, an isolationist foreign policy, a foreign policy, That withdraws from Ukraine, for example, and gives Russia the upper hand there.
01:05:26.000Or that plans to abandon Taiwan, the predations of the Chinese.
01:05:40.000The reason hawks are in favor of protecting America's interests and standing with America's allies is because the best way to prevent a nuclear war is to stand down We know this because we did this for half a century against the Soviet Union.
01:05:57.000Again, this part of this kind of scare tactic.
01:06:00.000It is all tied to, again, a deep, rootable.
01:06:04.000The reason she's going to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and doing a propaganda video about how bad it was that America dropped the A-bomb is to once again suggest that America is the moral bad guy in the world since World War Two, a proposition that has been put forward by many on that.
01:06:20.000And President Trump does not agree with it by all available evidence.
01:06:23.000But there are certainly some in his administration who do.
01:06:26.000And that's a battle that's going to have to be fought ideologically over the course of coming months and years inside the Republican Party for sure.
01:06:33.000That battle over foreign policy and America's role in the world may in fact be coming to a head with regard to Iran sooner rather than later.
01:06:41.000So yesterday the news broke that the United States has been moving.
01:06:46.000Members of its embassies away from various parts of the Middle East, redeploying forces in different parts of the Middle East, presumably in preparation for either an Israeli attack on the Iranian nuclear reactors or maybe even the possibility of an American airstrike on the Iranian nuclear reactors.
01:07:01.000That, of course, is following the revelation, which I think everybody knew, that Iran is determined to develop a nuclear weapon.
01:07:09.000That was something that was said by the Secretary of Defense yesterday in testimony.
01:07:13.000That Iran is actively working toward a nuclear weapon.
01:07:16.000Senator Cotton of Arkansas pointed out, today the Secretary of Defense confirmed Iran's terror regime is working toward a nuclear weapon.
01:07:23.000For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and millions of civilians in the region, this cannot be allowed to happen.
01:07:29.000The IAEA actually sounded off on this.
01:07:32.000The IAEA brought out a new report saying that they are violating Iran, its nuclear limits.
01:07:40.000That is a shocker, by the way, because again, the IAEA is not a right-wing organization by any stretch of the imagination.
01:07:47.000But according to NPR, the UN Nuclear Watchdog's Board of Governors on Thursday formally found Iran is not complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years.
01:07:57.000Iran immediately reacted, saying they will establish a new enrichment facility in a secure location and that other measures are also being planned.
01:08:03.000And again, Iran is not being shy about what it believes.
01:08:06.000Iran is saying this stuff just right out loud.
01:08:08.000So Iran, for example, has now been That presumably is one reason why the Israelis might want to go by themselves, because if the Israelis attack Iran, and then the Iranians fire back hundreds of missiles at Israel, and Israel and its allies, including the United States, knock down a lot of those missiles, will that implicate U.S. forces in the region?
01:08:30.000By the way, the worst move the mullahs could make would be to strike U.S. forces in the region in any serious way.
01:08:35.000If they start trying to hit, like, Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar, Or if they start trying to strike American forces in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, America will just bomb their oil fields and that will be the end of the regime.
01:08:45.000Understand that the place where Iran is most vulnerable is not, in fact, its nuclear facilities.
01:08:49.000Its nuclear facilities are its hope for the preservation of the regime.
01:08:53.000Because what Iran hopes is that by getting a nuclear weapon, they will be able to deter any and all activity that their regime does not like.
01:09:01.000They'll be able to rearm all of their proxy terrorist groups all over the region.
01:09:06.000With the threat that if you try to stop them, then they'll fire a nuke at somebody.
01:09:11.000The nuke gains them leverage in the same way that a nuke has gained North Korea leverage.
01:09:15.000But the real vulnerability for the regime is not the nuclear facilities per se.
01:09:20.000Like if you bomb the nuclear facilities in Iran, the regime likely doesn't fall.
01:09:23.000If you bomb the oil fields in Iran, the regime likely does fall.
01:09:26.000And so what they want to avoid, even if their nuclear facilities get hit, is anything that would provoke strikes on their oil facilities, because if their oil facilities go...
01:09:37.000The only export that Iran has at this point is oil and natural gas, which had been shipping out to third parties like China.
01:09:43.000But if they can't do that anymore, then there is no economic lifeline for the regime in Iran.
01:09:48.000So there'd be an unbelievably foolish move for Iran to actually do that.
01:09:51.000Iran likes to talk a big game on this sort of stuff.
01:09:54.000They're always talking about unleashing hell, unleashing fire.
01:09:56.000When the United States, under President Trump the first time, killed Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian terror master, the response by Iran, Was a few desultory attacks on American bases in Iraq.
01:10:07.000And that was basically the end of the story.
01:10:10.000By the way, again, the idea that the Iranians are like begging for peace.
01:10:13.000As I mentioned Tucker Carlson earlier, he had on Jeffrey Sachs, who effectively is a Chinese spokesperson at this point.
01:10:18.000And the two of them were talking about how Iran has sought peace for 10 years.
01:10:23.000There's not only no evidence of that, there is extraordinary counter evidence of that, including their support for literally every major terror group in the region.
01:10:32.000The commander of the IRGC, that's the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, said, quote, our enmity with the United States is ideological.
01:10:38.000This battle will never end as it is rooted in our core beliefs.
01:10:42.000Unlike Russia and China, our conflict with the United States is not geopolitical or economic in nature and leaves no room for reconciliation after the fight.
01:11:04.000There are downsides and upsides to every single policy.
01:11:07.000But the idea that it is in the best interest of the United States to let Iran go nuclear, somehow that is the least risky option, that's the one that seems totally insane to me.
01:11:15.000On what basis can you make the argument that the least risky option is for Iran, a malacracy that hates the United States, hates Saudi, hates UAE, hates Bahrain, hates Israel, hates Europe?
01:11:26.000Having a nuclear weapon, how would that be the best outcome?
01:11:30.000Of all the available outcomes, how is that the best outcome?
01:11:35.000Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, no foreign policy, great shakes, she tweeted out, I don't know anyone that even thinks about Iran.
01:11:43.000I mean, I see that even many of her ideological allies think about Iran a fair bit.
01:11:48.000Americans don't want to bomb Iran because the secular government of Israel says that Iran is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb any day now.
01:11:54.000Now, it's very, her characterization here, the secular government of Israel, as opposed to what?
01:12:00.000The Christian government of Israel, the Islamic government of Israel, the Jewish government of Israel?
01:12:03.000I don't even understand what she's implying there.
01:12:08.000And by the way, it's not just Israel that suggests that Iran is on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
01:12:12.000Iran says that Iran is on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
01:12:15.000The IAEA says that they're on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
01:12:18.000The Defense Department says they're on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
01:12:22.000She says, we've been told that for the past 20 years, the same story.
01:12:26.000Everyone I know is tired of U.S. intervention and regime change in foreign countries.
01:12:29.000Again, no one's talking about a full-scale invasion of Iran or regime change even in Iran.
01:12:34.000It would be better for the world if that regime didn't exist.
01:12:36.000But the question is always not whether what would be best for the world is best for the world.
01:12:48.000No one in the American foreign policy establishment, with very few exceptions, Even the most hawkish is talking about like a full-scale invasion of Iran.
01:12:57.000I certainly have never called for anything like that.
01:13:00.000People aligned with me ideologically have not called for anything like that.
01:13:04.000Airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities seems more like airstrikes on the Iraqi nuclear facilities by the Israelis back in 1981 in Osirak or Israeli airstrikes on the Syrian nuclear facilities in the middle of the last decade.
01:13:26.000Based on airstrikes on the Iranian nuclear facilities, how?
01:13:31.000Marjorie Taylor Greene says, Everyone I know is disgusted with Democrats for supporting a literal war against America by foreign nationals and communist anarchists waving Mexican flags while they violently burn and attack police in American cities.
01:14:56.000The thing is that the sort of Marjorie Taylor Greene position here or the Tulsi Gabbard position or the Tucker Carlson position is not the position of President Trump.
01:15:04.000It has never been the position of President Trump.
01:15:07.000Here was President Trump literally yesterday.
01:15:09.000He was asked why forces are being moved around the region, why people are being removed from embassies.
01:15:15.000Well, they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place and we'll see what happens.
01:15:21.000But they are been we've given notice to move out and we'll see what happens.
01:15:26.000Okay, so, again, the position of the President of the United States, It has.
01:15:49.000And so all of these people claiming it is not a core American interest to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon, that is certainly not the case that President Trump has been making.
01:15:58.000Now, with all of this happening, Steve Whitcoff, the Middle East envoy, is apparently still planning to meet with Iran for a sixth round of talks on the country's nuclear program in the coming days, according to two U.S. officials.
01:16:09.000With that said, obviously the administration has gotten a lot more pessimistic.
01:16:13.000About the possibility of an agreement, given the fact that Iran has gotten intransigent.
01:16:19.000Listen, Iran was never going to give up their nuclear program.
01:16:21.000Again, Iran requires two things to remain in power.
01:16:24.000One is a continued functionality of its oil resources.
01:16:30.000Because the minute they give up the nuclear program, that is the minute that they have guaranteed that they are no longer going to be able to terrorize their population until the end of time.
01:16:39.000And again, The Trump administration was weighing options regarding how to support Israeli military action without leading it.
01:17:02.000Those options could include aerial refueling or intelligence sharing.
01:17:05.000But the U.S. official is unaware of any commitment.
01:17:08.000This has always been my supposition, was that the United States probably would not directly participate in an attack on the Iranian nuclear facilities, but might stand back and allow the Israelis to do so.
01:17:19.000Because after all, Israel is an independent country, and then it would be in the interest of the United States, in order to prevent a wider regional conflagration, to shoot down some of the incoming ballistic from Iran.
01:17:30.000And that remains, I think, the most probable outcome right now in the Middle East, given the fact that, again, Iran cannot give up their nuclear facilities.
01:17:38.000They don't want nuclear enrichment for peaceful energy.
01:17:41.000Of course, of course, everyone knows that unless they're a complete dunderhead.
01:17:45.000And meanwhile, one of the things that's truly amazing about the Gaza conflict, about the Israelis attempting to wipe out Hamas, all the same people who have been complaining about a quote-unquote genocide in the Gaza Strip are apparently totally unaffected by the murder of Gaza aid workers by Hamas.
01:18:03.000So Israel has been shipping in literally tons of food aid every single day.
01:18:07.000For months and months and months and months at this point.
01:18:09.000And now they're working with something called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
01:18:12.000They weren't willing to work with the UNRWA because that was a tool of Hamas.
01:18:16.000The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, run by somebody named Johnny Moore, has basically taken it upon itself to make sure that the aid that is brought in doesn't get to Hamas.
01:18:25.000So, yesterday, Hamas just shot a bunch of the aid workers to death.
01:18:50.000Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team to deliver critical aid, were brutally attacked by Hamas.
01:19:00.000At the time of the attack, our team was en route to one of our distribution centers in the area west of Hanunis.
01:19:43.000The reason people are pissed off, by the way, at GHF, the reason that the left is angry at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is specifically because it is not run by Hamas.
01:19:51.000Specifically because it is not run by the UNRWA.
01:19:53.000Specifically because it is getting aid to Palestinians who do not want to work with Hamas.
01:19:58.000That's the reason that they are upset.
