| He's done everything humanly possible, along with Steve Witkoff, to give an off-ramp to the Iranians. | ||
| They chose not to take it, and they got very arrogant about it, and this is the inevitable result. | ||
| You don't get to be the number one state sponsor of terror and provide all the weaponry to be fired into Israel and then not expect Israel to take your word seriously that you want to wipe them off the map. | ||
| The Iranians are about to get their asses kicked, and it's been coming since Jimmy Carter. | ||
| They've slaughtered Americans. | ||
| They've slaughtered Arabs. | ||
| They've slaughtered their own people. | ||
| They think this is Joe Biden's administration, that they would get away. | ||
| We're getting nuclear weapons, and then the world would sit there, wouldn't know what to do about it. | ||
| You talk about ballistic missiles. | ||
| Israel sees thousands of ballistic missiles. | ||
| It can't defend against 5,000, 10,000 ballistic missiles. | ||
| It's not going to sit there and take it. | ||
| This Iranian regime is a terrorist, Islamist regime, is an illegitimate regime. | ||
| It came to power through the point of a gun, and it expects to stay in power with nuclear weapons. | ||
| Thank God we have Donald Trump as President of the United States. | ||
| Thank God Israel has Benjamin Netanyahu as the Prime Minister. | ||
| And I will say this. | ||
| If this Islamic terrorist regime touches one hair on the head of an American citizen, they're going to wish they hadn't. | ||

Man, okay. | |
| Yo! | ||
| Yo! | ||
| Yo, I'm not going to die. | ||
| And you think about the Israelis thinking about this operation, maybe going back to 2008, as the Iranians were trying to get this nuclear weapon, on a scale, What do you think about their capabilities? | ||
| It does seem quite incredible. | ||
| Yeah, I always felt in all the times that I've worked with the Israelis back when I served as the director of the CIA's Near East Division. | ||
| That Israel just simply wouldn't exist if they didn't have this extraordinary intelligence capability, not only to detect threats, but to conduct these sorts of offensive operations. | ||
| And we've seen the results of many of them, including that pager operation against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, and the ability that Israel has had with pinpoint precision to strike at leaders of Iran's proxy terrorists, including inside Iran. | ||
| Remember, they took out Ismail Hania. | ||
| In Tehran. | ||
| So they have this ability to fuse their military operations with intelligence collection in extraordinary ways in the region and beyond. | ||
| And I think that's exactly what they're doing right now. | ||
| And a lot of it we're not going to see, except for the results when there are dead Iranian senior military officials or Iranian nuclear facilities that have been blown up. | ||

*Mario plays* | |
| See, that's the terrorist wing of the military that sponsors international terrorism. | ||
| Their leadership has been taken out almost entirely. | ||
| Many of the top brass in the army itself have been taken out, and the infrastructure it We may have to have another go at it. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| We're analyzing the BDA at the present time. | ||
| But we have also been successful in taking out the air defenses in and around Tehran. | ||
| A project that was implemented by our Mossad. | ||
| And I think that when the dust settles, you'll find that the beeper operation in Lebanon and the drone operation of Ukraine and Russia pales to the genius of the implementation of this operation. | ||

| So long as there's a lot of people who are going to be in the offing, because Israel is prepared to finish the task, and as long as the world unites to provide continued deterrence and defense to prevent Iran from conducting all kinds of attacks, I think of cyber threats that will probably be projected on the We all need to be alert and responsive and do everything we can to deter them from coming after any American anywhere in any field. | ||
| I don't I don't think this was remotely a surprise. | ||
| I think at any given plan, the exact moment that you'll execute is always a bit surprising. | ||
| But the fact that the Israelis concluded they needed to do this doesn't surprise me in the least. | ||
| I must say, too, I've talked to some folks in the Gulf region this morning already. | ||
| The Gulf nations are thrilled. | ||
| They want to make sure the United States will be there to help make sure that if Iran responds against them, we'll do the necessary to help them be safe and secure. | ||
| But the entire region knows that Iran is the problem and not Israel. | ||
| And so while they may not be able to say it quite as publicly as some others can, I know that the Gulf Arab nations are feeling a little safer and a little more secure today. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | ||
| It's Friday, 13 June, Year of the Lord 2025. | ||
| Thank you for joining us for our late afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room. | ||
| A lot has transpired from this morning. | ||
| Remember this morning we were setting up about how the law of unintended consequences and the fog of war. | ||
| That you have to really kind of think these things through and see how they develop. | ||
| Also, we ended, and I got a lot of positive feedback from people, saying we ended this morning's cold open by my brilliant staff with the shock and awe of 2003. | ||
| What was said throughout the day is that it had been a decapitation strike. | ||
| The strike had worked. | ||
| They didn't have any ballistic missiles. | ||
| They didn't have any command and control. | ||
| They couldn't fire anything. | ||
| There was a huge push. | ||
| From my sources, which are pretty good, and Tucker Carlson's got a tweet about it, that there's a big push for President Trump actually to engage more into this war as it develops. | ||
| It turns out, Jack Posobiec, our first guest out of the box, it turns out, and here's what I don't understand, how this plays out in the logic of war. | ||
| Because we've been, as you know, very big on they can't have a nuclear weapon and we ought to go to economic war with them if we shut this regime down and let the Persians deal with them. | ||
| But it's going to take time and you have to be very focused on doing this economically and not get into another shooting war in the Middle East because we just got out of two of them that took us 20 years and I think added $9 trillion to the national debt. | ||
| Israel decided, did their own calculation, and said, hey, Netanyahu said we've got to go now. | ||
| We think it's going to happen now. | ||
| We said, fine, that's Israel first. | ||
| We're America first. | ||
| America's got to put her own interests first. | ||
| Jack, as you know, we're already engaged in the air defense. | ||
| Over Tel Aviv and the rest of Haifa and the rest of Israel. | ||
| It turns out they didn't have a decapitation. | ||
| It wasn't just about nuclear weapons. | ||
| They went for a decapitation move. | ||
| They didn't decapitate all the military command. | ||
| They didn't take out the command and control structure. | ||
| Tel Aviv has been getting pounded by ballistic missile attacks, and we know that American air defense is engaged in this defense, including a couple of Arleigh Burke cruisers that have gone to the eastern Mediterranean to provide air defense. | ||
| I think there's a huge push to get President Trump to actually engage in active combat operations against the Iranians. | ||
| Jack Basobik, any update from your end? | ||
| Well, Steve, that's what I've been hearing throughout the day. | ||
| You and I have, of course, been in discussion all day on and off the phone and tracking with my sources all throughout the administration, throughout D.C., and just following the events online as well. | ||
| Of course, we also saw that that our. | ||
| the Burke guided missile destroyer with equipped an Aegis missile system and the ability to track these incoming ballistic missiles for the counter strike, which earlier today on Human Events Daily, I was on with General Flynn and we covered this live as it was taking | ||
| place, this attack where we were able to see in real time here on the Real America's Voice Network that these missiles, many of which were able to get through whatever layered missile defenses that the Iron Dome and other layers that Israel had there in Tel Aviv. | ||
| This was the first salvo. | ||
| And it seems that following that is really when it seems though Israel called up the the military, the U.S. military, or at least reach out to contacts and saying, "We need some assistance." And that's when it seems that this Arleigh Burke destroyer came in to provide, help add to that umbrella of cover for the Aegis missile system, really lighting up the sky. | ||
| And Steve, of course, we heard this morning on And it seems that's not the case. | ||
| So now Israel, as we're seeing live, by the way, is now conducting a, I suppose you would say this is a second day of strikes or second evening of strikes on Tehran. | ||
| However, tonight, the difference being that as these strikes come in, Iranian air defenses are active as opposed to last night when they were deactivated. | ||
| However, they have been able to conduct some strikes and a few air bases tonight in Iran, as well as numerous strikes on Tehran that have been getting through Iran's air defenses. | ||
| But it does appear that Iran's air defenses, their anti-aircraft missiles, their anti-aircraft cannons are operating tonight in a way that they were not. | ||
| It was bold. | ||
| It's had the efficiency that the IDF is known for. | ||
| The IDF has already been on a roll against Hezbollah, against the Muslim Brotherhood franchisee Hamas, against the Iranian air defense, which they took out essentially, or a big part of it, a couple of months ago. | ||
| But it's not about that. | ||
| It's about having the people got a sugar high. | ||
| This morning, before the National Security Council, I think President Trump convened it at 11 a.m., and there was a lot of loose talk. | ||
| As we said, you've got to understand the fog of war and the law of unintended consequences. | ||
| We cannot get sucked into another major war on the Eurasian landmass, particularly in the Middle East. | ||
| And as we end this broadcast now at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the 13th of June in the year of our Lord, 2025, we're getting drawn into this already. | ||
| We're an active combatant. | ||
| If you're providing air defense, you're a combatant. | ||
| We've got to go to break. | ||
| Am I correct on that, Jack Posobiec? | ||
| If you're providing air defense, you've got Arlie Burks there with the Aegis Cruisers, with the Aegis Missile System. | ||
| Are you not a combatant in this, sir? | ||
| Steve, it seems the United States is becoming more and more embroiled in this and what appeared to be, or many people said, was a decapitation strike earlier today and last night. | ||
| Well, it turns out it's just another shooting war. | ||
| Well, by the way, they may have gone close to some sort of decapitation, but it's not done. | ||
| and now you're in a fight with the Persians, an ancient civilization. | ||
| The Israelis went. | ||
| They made a decision for Israel first. | ||
| Hey, go with God. | ||
| You made a decision. | ||
| You did the calculus. | ||
| But don't have the decision backed up that on the first couple hours of it, the United States has got to come in and go to full defense. | ||
| And then other people say that we should go on offense. | ||
| That can't be. | ||
| How can that be? | ||
| We're not read in. | ||
| It's not part of our plan. | ||
| In what universe does that happen? | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| Okay, this excuse that, oh, we got the embassy, I'm the one that pushed to have the embassy move to Jerusalem, right? | ||
| Which I still believe. | ||
| And I believe in Israel as an ally. | ||
| However, if you're going to go, if we have a plan, and that is to negotiate and try to, and I understand about the date and everything like that, but if you have a full plan that you're going to go alone, just like the Ukrainians, if you're going to go alone, then guess what? | ||
| When it gets hot, you've got to have a plan to take it. | ||
| I don't want to hear, oh, we got American troops in Iraq. | ||
| Why we got American troops in Iraq? | ||
| Because Fox News and all of them and Bush lied to us. | ||
| Lied. | ||
| This was not a, this was not a, it wasn't a failure of intelligence or we made some bad calculations. | ||
| It was bald-faced lies. | ||
| Let's talk like adults today. | ||
| Let's have an adult conversation. | ||
| Bald-faced lies. | ||
| Go over to Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery and tell them about Yellow Cake and tell them about all the lies and spin of the neocons. | ||
| Isn't this movement in reaction to that war? | ||
| Isn't it in reaction to the financial collapse brought on by the Bush administration? | ||
| Yes, yes, yes, yes. | ||
| I know the Democrats have a ton to do with it and the Wall Street guys, they were all guilty. | ||
| That's where this movement came from. | ||
| Stop the forever wars, because your sons and daughters are fighting them, just like your sons and daughters are going to be fighting this one. | ||
| So if we're going to do it this time, let's have an adult conversation. | ||
| Do not come here and say, oh, we've got to protect America, and then get them out. | ||
| Get them out of Iraq, get them out of the embassy. | ||
| That's not a call for us to get engaged in a shooting war, and that's what we're engaged in a couple hours into this. | ||
| You either got it, if you're going to go alone, you can take care of your deal or not. | ||
| You don't need us. | ||
| Decide to go alone. | ||
| Decided to reject it. | ||
| No, we don't need you. | ||
| We're going to go to loan. | ||
| And the go to loan lasts about six hours. | ||
| Not only do they want them defense, they want us to go on offense. | ||
| Don't believe me. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's got a tweet up. | ||
| I will not repeat the names on this show at this time. | ||
| I have not verified that. | ||
| But Tucker Carlson's on fire. | ||
| We're now calling out names, naming names. | ||
| Folks. | ||
| We have 10 million, just on Biden's watch, in our country, illegal alien invaders. | ||
| And if you don't think that's a war on the streets of L.A., in Chicago, in New York, and everywhere you're going to see this weekend, and that is our number one priority, because that's what the CCP is getting us, and not getting drawn into something else in the Middle East. | ||
| That's a secondary, tertiary, yes, yes, yes, secondary or tertiary. | ||
| Secondary or tertiary. | ||
| Just like we said for years, Ukraine. | ||
| The eastern-speaking, the eastern-speaking, excuse me, the Russian-speaking eastern border Ukraine is not in the vital, let me repeat that, the vital national security interest of the United States. | ||
| Just like taking down the nuclear weapons is very important, had to be done. | ||
| President Trump said we're not going to allow him to have it. | ||
| But you've got to go up the escalatory ladder and the tools you have. | ||
| Particularly, we haven't done anything in economics. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because they were chomping at the bit to get in there and mix it up. | ||
| And if you're going to do that, that's fine. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go. | |
| Do it. | ||
| Hammer. | ||
| It's audacious. | ||
| It's bold. | ||
| You've got one of the finest militaries in the world. | ||
| We've seen that against Hezbollah. | ||
| We've seen that against the Muslim Brotherhood of Moss. | ||
| We've seen that take down air defense. | ||
| But don't set it up that we're going to get wrapped up in this thing in the first day, and now people want us going offense into bombing runs on this. | ||
| And Mike Pompeo, Mike Pompeo sitting there going, everybody in the Gulf region so excited. | ||
| Is that your paymasters in Qatar, Pompeo, that you took the money from? | ||
| Is that your paymasters in Qatar are telling you this? | ||
| Is that what they're saying? | ||
| Is that you're a puppet for them now? | ||
| Oh, the Gulf Emiratis. | ||
| Yeah, well, I haven't seen them come out today and say, oh, this is terrific. | ||
| We're so grateful that this happened. | ||
| No, they let the United States get sucked in. | ||
| Your sons and daughters. | ||
| If you're going to do it, do it. | ||
| Go for it. | ||
| You make your own decision. | ||
| You decide it. | ||
| We've got to do it. | ||
| We've got to do it now. | ||
| They've got 15 nuclear weapons. | ||
| Then go for it. | ||
| But then why do we have to come in air defense? | ||
| And please don't use, oh, because we have things in Tel Aviv. | ||
| Then get them the hell out of Tel Aviv. | ||
| And if you're an American citizen over there, give them a shot. | ||
| Get out. | ||
| Or stick. | ||
| If you stick, that's fine. | ||
| This is how we get sucked in. | ||
| You want to be all dumb again? | ||
| Let's go back to 2003, shock and awe. | ||
| Remember all the Bush guys chest-thumping and high-fiving? | ||
| Did their sons and daughters go over there and die? | ||
| In Iraq and Afghanistan, all those Bushies and their khaki pants and their blue blazers, all those guys, all of them, you see them? | ||
| All the Bush apparatus, all those guys sitting there high-fiving on 19 March 2003? | ||
| No, they did not. | ||
| Their sons and daughters didn't go. | ||
| And it's the beginning of the rapid decline of this country, financially, militarily. | ||
| And so now we're in another one again. | ||
| All I want to have is an open conversation. | ||
| Is this in the best, is this in the vital national security industry of the United States right now? | ||
| To be back into a war in the Middle East with CENTCOM running things. | ||
| Think about it for a second. | ||
| And now this country ain't Iraq. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Not Afghanistan. | ||
| These are the guys that pounded out Iraq and Iran. | ||
| The Persians pounded out for years. | ||
| For years, I don't know, lost a couple of million men each. | ||
| Will that happen now? | ||
| I have no earthly idea. | ||
| I do not. | ||
| What I know is that we weren't asked to come, you know, people went on this by themselves. | ||
| They made a conscious decision to do it themselves. | ||
| And if you want to do it yourselves, then do it yourselves. | ||
| All of a sudden, we've got to come in and defend that? | ||
| And what planet? | ||
| And I'm not worried. | ||
| People say, oh, it's going to tear MAGA apart. | ||
| No, it is not going to tear MAGA apart at all. | ||
| We may have needed to do this, to decide who's really America first and who's still a neocon. | ||
| Who's still a neocon? | ||
| And if I'm hurting your feelings, I'm sorry. | ||
| Your feelings are going to have to get hurt. | ||
| And I'm not into Tucker Carlson, the Kurt Mills. | ||
| I know those guys well. | ||
| I respect them a lot. | ||
| But when you decide to do something and you're going to do it on your own, then do it on your own. | ||
| If you're going to make that decision, just like Zelensky and this crowd, if you're going to do it, do it. | ||
| Don't try to get us sucked into it because right now, inexorably, I have preached this gospel. | ||
| Actually, we're being drawn into a massive land war, World War III. | ||
| And while we have 10 million people, And you saw last weekend in Los Angeles how easy it is to get them out of here. | ||
| You can have a firestorm in each of these sanctuary cities. | ||
| We got enough on our plate. | ||
| We have enough on our plate that we have to take care of in this country. | ||
| We've got a million fentanyl dead. | ||
| We've got corrupt institutions, corrupted by our central entity. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is everywhere. | ||
| It's on Wall Street. | ||
| It's in the universities. | ||
| Hell, Stanford and Harvard are basically prep schools for them. | ||
| We've got enough on our plate. | ||
| And every time we try to do something, we've got radical neo-Marxist judges that are shutting us down. | ||
| Yes, we have a full plate right here to take care of business, and as you know, I'm not a put-the-head-in-the-sand. | ||
| The second biggest thing we have is a ticking time bomb in the South China Sea and in the Straits of Taiwan. | ||
| We do not have time for a diversion, and that's what this is. | ||
| I'm sorry if I'm hurting your feelings. | ||
| We weren't asked to come into this. | ||
| We were kind of dismissed. | ||
| Well, Steve, we're seeing the responses now. | ||
| we're seeing the U.S. getting inexorably. | ||
| If the escalation ladder continues, if the United States continues to be involved in this as escalations continue between Israel, between Iran, that goes up and up higher, that draws closer and closer to the possibility of U.S. servicemen being killed in this or retaliatory strikes on any of the | ||
| number, large, large number of U.S. personnel that are all across the Persian Gulf, as everyone knows. | ||
| In the Middle East inciting and encouraging Israel to take radical steps, including in their declaration condemning the attack. | ||
| And so there's real questions as to how this will affect This is what caused Purgosian, Right? | ||
| This is what Israel... | ||
| He wanted, and the Russian hardliners have wanted, to conduct this type of attack on Kiev from the very start. | ||
| That's what they've wanted all along. | ||
| So there's going to be real questions in the next 48 hours or maybe even less than that at this point. | ||
| The U.S.'s response now will dictate more. | ||
| Steve, we are in the fourth turning and everyone is looking to the White House to see how President Trump will react. | ||
| Are we going up the escalation ladder or are we getting off of it? | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Not just fourth turning, the Third World War, which to date we have been able to stay out as a combatant as much as we got fingerprints all over Ukraine because of the deep state and the money. | ||
| We're in it now. | ||
| You're providing air defense. | ||
| You're a combatant. | ||
| Simple. | ||
| You're a combatant. | ||
| Understand something. | ||
| And if you're for that thing, fine. | ||
| I appreciate you. | ||
| And I've got time to listen to your arguments. | ||
| Just understand something. | ||
| We are on the 13th of June in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| We are now a combatant in the Third World War, in the Connecticut. | ||
|

And I would respectfully submit. | |

| You're now in a federal court with your entire company on the line. | ||
| They've asked for $60 million to get compensation for these bad things you said about them. | ||
| Can you get us up to date, sir? | ||
| Yeah, we just did closing arguments, everybody. | ||
| And this is all about your First Amendment right of free speech. | ||
| My lawyers got up there and says, you know, these machine companies are basically an extension of the government. | ||
| But the other side, they went up there and what they said to the jury, the last statement the jury heard was, we have to send a message to other people out there that speak out about our elections, everybody. | ||
| And that's why they put it at $60 million against my pillow and myself. | ||
| They also, Steve, they actually indirectly mentioned War Room Posse. | ||
| They said Mike Lindell's been out there doing shows and spreading disinformation and using promo codes. | ||
| I think what happened, Steve, is he used a promo code that didn't give the specials that the War Room Pousey gets with promo code WARROOM. | ||
| And I'll tell you, this guy... | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| Actually, they gave our promo code jury. | ||
| They said, you know, Mike Lindell probably used the promo code jury, which I did. | ||
| And I remember back in the day, I used promo code Dominion, FBI. | ||
| I'm an equal opportunity promo person. | ||
| But the best promo code in the country is the promo code War Room. | ||
| And you guys, I want to give you that pillow. | ||
| The pillow with God, all things are possible today. | ||
| We need help. | ||
| My pillow, yeah. | ||
| And they said, even if my pillow is broken, Mike Lindell broke, we need to send a message to this country. | ||
| You do not speak out. | ||
| So in other words, they're going to go after me anyway, even with no money. | ||
| But you guys can help out. | ||

| You hear that over there at the courthouse? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Mike. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Insanity is no defense in your case. | ||
| Insanity plea is no defense in your case. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| One last thing, one last thing, you guys. | ||
| The press conference was just here and they asked me on Channel 9 News here. | ||
| It's another guy called a traitor because he is. | ||
| And he goes, are you going to quit now? | ||
| Are you going to back off if they find you guilty or if they find you money? | ||
| I said, what do you think, Kyle? | ||
| I said, I'll never stop until we secure our election here in the United States and preserve the American dream that we've all lived in, including you, Kyle. | ||
| So, thanks, Steve. | ||
| I'll get hold of you as soon as they come out. | ||

| We don't have an option. | ||
| We have to win this fight here in this country. | ||
| We must win this fight. | ||
| There is no option. | ||
| If we don't win this, we don't have a country. | ||

| You can't say that about Ukraine. | ||
| You can't even say that about Taiwan. | ||
| You know how rabid I am about Taiwan. | ||
| There, the economy changes overnight. | ||
| But you still have a country. | ||
| We don't win this one in the Third World War. | ||
| We're going to have a country. | ||
| Charlie Spearing, the great Charlie Spearing, used to work with us at Breitbart, is now the chief, I think, White House correspondent for Daily Mail. | ||
| He's got a poll. | ||
| What does that poll say, sir, about what President Trump is trying to accomplish every day in these big, massive Democratic sanctuary cities, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, that's right. | ||
| I'm looking through, and it's this new JL Partners poll, and Charlie's got it up at Daily Mail, and they've conducted it in conjunction there. | ||
| And this poll is that it's a mega poll on L.A. unrest and the Trump administration's response from JL Partners. | ||
| Which side are you on? | ||
| 51% say we are on the side of law enforcement, and only 26% say they're on the side of law enforcement. | ||
| Second generation, even more, 53-31. | ||
| 55% of Americans say that people in the country illegally must now leave. | ||
| I want to say that again. | ||
| 55% of Americans agree. | ||
| An absolute majority. | ||
| That people in the country illegally must now leave. | ||
| And that's not breaking it down by, you know, farm workers and MS-13 arrests. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| That's all illegals must leave. | ||
| Democrats, of course, are associated with the violence. | ||
| And President Trump's support for sending the troops in, it's supported by a majority with a margin of 14%. | ||
| So, Steve, I mean, President Trump's polling on these riots, on illegal immigration right now, impeccable. | ||
| Absolutely impeccable, including this stunning number, 55% of Americans say that people in the country illegally must now leave. | ||
| And that's not, by the way, Cortez has got additional polling we'll get into if we can get him up. | ||
| I want to get those numbers out. | ||
| Charlie Spearney, Daily Mail is not exactly a MAGA platform either. | ||
| While we've got some time, Jack, I want you to hear this. | ||
| We do have victories. | ||
| Remember, we're winning every day on this deportation. | ||
| We've just got to keep focused. | ||
| Keep focused. | ||
| Brandon Showalter joins us. | ||
| Brandon, we've only got a couple of minutes. | ||
| You've got a big, big, big win out in California on this radical ideology. | ||
| It's one of these crazy things that drives these Marxists. | ||
| What do you got going on for us? | ||
| Yes, Steve, there's tremendous good news. | ||
| It was reported in the Los Angeles Times yesterday that the largest, this has been one of the largest, if not the largest, child transgender, pediatric transgender clinic in the country is closing as of July 22nd. | ||
| Earlier this year, they had been temporarily paused and then it was unfrozen and there had been some sort of back and forth. | ||
| But due to pressure from the Trump administration and all of the executive agencies who have been empowered by his January 28th executive order to take appropriate. | ||
| steps and withhold funds from hospitals and that kind of thing. | ||
| This is a big kahuna, Steve. | ||
| This clinic was run by a woman named Joanna Olson Kennedy, who just I won't go too deep into the weeds here. | ||
| But her name surfaced on a document where she Her hospital, her clinic there in Los Angeles was one of the recipients of this grant, and now she's finally coming under some scrutiny. | ||
| She's being sued for medical negligence by a detransitioner, and this big center is closed. | ||
| And I think, Steve, what it's going to do is start a trend. | ||
| And we hope that even the blue states are going to be moving away from this kind of quote-unquote care. | ||
| Because to have the children's transfer in Los Angeles shut down. | ||
| You told us as we fought this, you said California is the railhead of the problems. | ||
| This is where it's embedded in the political system. | ||
| It's embedded into the economic system. | ||
| These things are cash cows. | ||
| These doctors are making their fortune. | ||
| And you've seen the way it's screwed up public schools. | ||
| It's broken families in California. | ||
| California is the railhead of this of this. | ||
| This is why Stephen Miller says the future of this country is going to be fought on the streets of LA about these mass deportations with folks coming in here, these illegal alien invaders. | ||
| The same thing with transgender ideology, is it not, sir? | ||
| You're right that it's embedded deep in California. | ||
| I would just make a point, though, about Children's Hospital LA is that this has been a place in the United States that had been really kind of pioneering it. | ||
| It started in Boston. | ||
| Boston Children's Hospital was the first pediatric gender clinic that opened in 2007. | ||
| California, there are other institutions still in California that are doing this. | ||
| But again, I just can't overstate how significant it is, Steve, to have Children's Hospital LA, that transgender clinic, close. | ||
| I was just actually out in California this week. | ||
| And so it just was music to my ears to see this shut down. | ||
| And in about a month, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson is going to be hosting an event at the FTC where so-called gender-affirming care will be exposed as consumer fraud. | ||
| And there's going to be a number of speakers and panels there. | ||
| You might say the Trump administration is cooking with gas. | ||
| I'm hearing very good things also at the Department of Justice. | ||
| Attorney General Bondi very much gets the issue. | ||
| The federal government is using its leverage against this. | ||

| We're moving the change, Jack Posobiec. | ||
| Ube Shandahar Shandabar joins us now, former DIA official defense intelligence officer, defense intelligence agency. | ||
| Former, former. | ||
| Former, give us your update on where this stands, because there was a lot of chest beating this morning, and there's not so much chest beating now as Tel Aviv just got wracked by these ballistic missiles, sir. | ||
| Look, this is a full-blown war. | ||
| This is a full-blown war. | ||
| This isn't what happened last summer. | ||
| When you had a tactical response by the Iranians that was measured, you had the Israelis launching strikes into Iran, but only focusing on the air defense, and then both sides stopped. | ||
| This is much bigger. | ||
| The Israeli government has signaled that this will be a multi-day, perhaps multi-week operation. | ||
| This is a decapitation strike against the most senior military officials in the Iranian regime, including Ali Shamhani, a senior advisor to the supreme leader himself, who overlooked a number of military and nuclear program portfolios. | ||
| The Israeli Mossad has penetrated Iran like Swiss cheese. | ||
| They had operatives on the ground in Iran launching drones from within Iranian territory, striking against Iran's ballistic missile storage facilities, and destroying a number of strategic facilities in the Natanz nuclear enrichment site. | ||
| Iran has two of them, though. | ||
| The one in Natanz and the one in Fordow. | ||
| The one in Fordow is deep underground in the mountains and lies adjacent to the Iranian holy city of This is much broader in scope here. | ||
| And there is a signal here by the Israeli leadership that they are looking to bring down the regime in its entirety. | ||
| Look, they've taken out now the head of the military chief of staff. | ||
| That is the Iranian version of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. | ||
| They've taken out the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. | ||
| They've taken out the head of the Iranian Air Force and Missile Command. | ||
| They've taken out the senior Quds Force operative. | ||
| So imagine if the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff has been taken out, as well as the commander of U.S. Central Command. | ||
| That is what the Israeli military has been able to achieve against their Iranian foes, while at the same time assassinating a number of senior Iranian nuclear scientists. | ||
| So even if Israel is not able to penetrate all the way deep down into Fordow, that is that main strategic nuclear side. | ||
| Under the ground that has all these advanced centrifuges, they have essentially set back Iran's nuclear program, perhaps by decades. | ||
| We're seeing these harrowing images from Tel Aviv with this massive barrage by Iranian ballistic missiles. | ||
| Ube, Ube, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're returning to the war room in just a moment. | ||

| Don't miss it. | ||
| It's my favorite show of the week, as you guys know. | ||
| Also, starting at 4 o 'clock, 4 to, I think, 8, maybe later, the parade, the commemoration and event around the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. | ||
| Poso's going to be with us, of course. | ||
| We're going to have Steve Gruber, Ben Berquam's coming in, the entire Real America's Voice team. | ||
| We're going to be here. | ||
| David Zeer, all of us, and maybe a couple of three surprises. | ||
| Mo Bannon will be here. | ||
| It's going to be absolutely amazing. | ||
| You do not want to miss this. | ||
| Ube, when you say full-blown war, describe what you mean, sir. | ||
| Look, Ali Khomeini, the Iranian supreme leader, at this point realizes that he's lost his main deterrent with Hezbollah. | ||
| Hezbollah is dead. | ||
| His top senior military commanders are all dead in one night. | ||
| And Tehran views this attack more than likely as an attempt to bring down the regime in its entirety. | ||
| And we've already seen officials in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem saying that the Iranians have crossed a red line by launching these ballistic missiles that have struck civilian facilities and apartments in the state of Israel. | ||
| So I don't think that this is going to be merely a tit-for-tat. | ||
| Proportional attack given to a proportional response. | ||
| Clearly this is going to spiral. | ||
| There's going to be a cascade effect here given that so much is at stake and the fact that Mossad has completely infiltrated Iran like Swiss cheese. | ||
| It's humiliating for the Iranian regime. | ||
| It is absolutely humiliated. | ||
| Look, back in April, there was a New York Times article that said that the pressure that the Trump administration was putting on Ayatollah Khomeini following that letter that President Trump sent to the Iranian leader telling him, hey, you have the option now to ensure that Iran, the successor of the Persian Empire, can succeed, it can prosper on just one condition. | ||
| Nuclear weapons. | ||
| But I think there's real pressure right now on Ayatollah Khomeini, fear that his regime could collapse. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| Jack Basobiec, what Ube is saying is correct because President Trump said, hey, I was going to send a team to negotiate, but they're all dead. | ||
| What is your definition of a full-blown war here? | ||
| And what happens if the regime cratered? | ||
| Would that be a day at the beach, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, keep in mind that Iran has a number of opposition groups as well as separatist groups, Baluchistan and others, who would certainly capitalize on any regime change situation. | ||
| That would clearly lead to a form of civil war, one or another forms of civil war, this type of sectarian violence that we saw break out in Iraq after the fall of Saddam. | ||
| But when you say full-scale war, Steve, a full-scale war, and we learned this from Ukraine. | ||
| That as many drones as Ukraine might have, as many missiles as they might have, you cannot hold territory without soldiers. | ||
| You cannot hold territory, maintain territory, and advance on territory, gain territory without boots on the ground. | ||
| And that's what Russia has been reflective of with their attrition warfare against Ukraine. | ||
| And particularly, as we've said many times, in those Eastern Russian-speaking We're there in this attrition warfare fight over and over. | ||
| And so, yes, both sides are currently lobbying airstrikes back and forth. | ||
| Israel starting, then Iran, then Israel again. | ||
| Right now, perhaps we'll see another Iranian as this would be a second this year or a fourth if you go back to about one year ago when all of this started, really April of 2024, when these attacks began. | ||
| And so the question is, of course, if there's If there's going to be a war, will that include boots on the ground? | ||
| And I think it would necessitate boots on the ground to be able to do that because it's the only way you can maintain territory. | ||
| Jack, you've got to bounce. | ||
| We've got to wrap up here. | ||
| You're going to be with us tomorrow. | ||
| Make us smart. | ||
| In the next 24 hours, until you're back on tomorrow, what should the audience look for? | ||
| Folks what you want to look for tonight is any retaliatory strikes on the United States. | ||
| We know by the way the Houthis and so many other supporters of the Iranian regime out there have abilities to put the hurt on International shipping, the Babel Mendeb, the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz. | ||
| You've got to go and look at those ships. | ||
| Leave it to the Navy guy to say it, but you've got to go and look at those shipping lanes and to understand that there are many asymmetrical ways that Iran can respond here and their proxies can respond. | ||
| And I would look for that very shortly because if they want to and they've shown they've been able to do this. | ||
| Jack, social media, some people are going to follow you tonight. | ||
| Join us again tomorrow. | ||
| All right, we're up at Jack Posobiec. | ||
| My brother at Kevin Posobiec is already down there with Tim Kennedy at the DC Parade. | ||
| He's down on the street. | ||
| We're going to be heading out later tonight to check out some of the preview festivities. | ||
| Myself, Tanya Tay, and then, of course, we'll be out and about all day tomorrow with the War Room covering. | ||
| Both the historic parade and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, as well as all updates in the Middle East. | ||
| Steve, what can I say? | ||
| We're going to be pulling double duty, but that's why they call it the War Room. | ||
| Double duty. | ||
| That's why it's called the War Room. | ||
| Ube, social media. | ||
| We'll get you back on over the weekend. | ||
| Where do people go to find you, sir? | ||
| I'm at OS26 on Axe. | ||

| Just remember, when you hear anything about this, just revert back to the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago and New York. | ||
| That is of paramount importance. | ||
| President Trump confirmed it yesterday. | ||
| 20 million illegal alien invaders, he said, gotta go, gotta leave. | ||
| Mass deportations. | ||
| Do not let that slip your mind whatsoever. | ||
