=== Funny Thanks and Cold Child (03:34) ===

[00:00:00]  And it's not the better track to be this is because of crossing like years.
[00:00:04]  This is Picard of John Ruk Picarda.
[00:00:07]  This is Picard crossing like years.
[00:00:09]  Energized by rock or crossing like years.
[00:00:11]  This is Picard of Crossing like years.
[00:00:14]  This is Picard of Jong Ruk Picarda.
[00:00:16]  This is Picard of Crossing Light years.
[00:00:20]  Have you seen anything like that before?
[00:00:38]  Child.
[00:00:56]  It's a cold child.
[00:01:46]  It's just a moon.
[00:01:49]  It's just whether you won't let me marry your facile.
[00:01:55]  You're funny.
[00:01:56]  The background.
[00:02:13]  You're funny.
[00:02:14]  Thank you.
[00:02:50]  I'm butter.
[00:02:52]  Hey, glad
[00:03:24]  to be with you.
[00:03:25]  I'm back.
[00:03:25]  Welcome to the lineup live on Rumble.
[00:03:27]  You don't need to change that dial.
[00:03:28]  I know I sound like I have SARS, like I'm in a Toronto airport in the early 2000s.
[00:03:33]  I was at an ICE ride along yesterday.

=== Iran's Propaganda Debunked (03:08) ===

[00:03:35]  You're going to see that probably next week.
[00:03:38]  Maybe this week we actually apprehended some, well, MS-13 gang members, child, what do we have to say, corn if it's this is on YouTube, cornographers.
[00:03:49]  The worst of the worst.
[00:03:50]  And the story you guys have heard about ICE is definitely also experienced my first flashbangs.
[00:03:55]  Two.
[00:03:56]  Apparently there's no quality control with flashbangs because they were the exact same type of flashbang.
[00:04:00]  But toolman, one was like eight times louder than the other where we thought it was return fire.
[00:04:04]  So you'll see my GoPro go, oh, geez.
[00:04:06]  Anyway, look, I picked a hell of a time to be out of this chair because Iran, oh my word.
[00:04:15]  That doesn't seem like the right phrase for Iran.
[00:04:17]  Oh my word, Iran.
[00:04:19]  Look, guys, I want to, we're going to go through this today.
[00:04:23]  We're going to do some claim truths.
[00:04:25]  We're going to go through some propaganda that is being obviously perpetuated out there by Iran.
[00:04:30]  Of course, you get some from Israel as well.
[00:04:32]  Some really bad misstatements from this administration.
[00:04:34]  And I hear the criticisms out there.
[00:04:37]  I hear them, and I don't think they're ill-founded.
[00:04:39]  I really don't.
[00:04:41]  But I do think that some opinions right now are misguided because of misinformation.
[00:04:46]  And there's a lot of misinformation on both sides.
[00:04:49]  And this should be one of those issues, in my opinion, where we can have a difference of opinion and it not be as fragmenting as it is.
[00:05:00]  When people say, can we go back to a time where we could civilly discuss things?
[00:05:04]  Okay.
[00:05:06]  Military intervention of a crazy Islamic death cult regime and how to deal with them would be one of those.
[00:05:14]  Like your mind can be changed on some of these issues because militarily, right, it's largely a strategic decision.
[00:05:19]  My mind's not going to be changed on abortion.
[00:05:21]  My mind's not going to be changed on transitioning kids.
[00:05:22]  My mind's not going to be changed on the Second Amendment.
[00:05:24]  But there is information that we can't know as it relates to national security where sometimes you go, oh, all right, that seems like an opportune time.
[00:05:32]  That seems strategically like it could save us money or save lives in the long run.
[00:05:36]  And you may think that it doesn't.
[00:05:38]  But to throw out this entire administration, which I see some people doing, look, it doesn't make you a cheerleader to say, do you understand that we could be facing, we were, and we could be right there again, a demographic shift in this country where it ceases to exist?
[00:05:54]  Is this the hill that people want to die on with a purity test on who is MAGA?
[00:06:00]  Who is America first?
[00:06:02]  Because Iran is so harmless?
[00:06:06]  Or because the Jews are so underhanded that we couldn't all have some shared interests here and disagree about strategy?
[00:06:14]  So it's going to be a little bit of a roundtable with you.
[00:06:16]  A lot of chats today.
[00:06:17]  I think this needs to be discussed.
[00:06:18]  We're also going to talk about the Supreme Court ruling on, hey, trans and kids in California.
[00:06:22]  I don't know if you know, but they're not supposed to do that.
[00:06:24]  Supposed to let the parents know.
[00:06:25]  And for her troubles, one lady was told that she would be hunted down and killed by trans activists.
[00:06:30]  talk about that and more on with the show.

=== Hard-Earned Money (02:56) ===

[00:06:43]  You go fix it or just let my hard-earned money flush right down the train.
[00:06:47]  Damn it, Josephine.
[00:06:48]  I'm watching the most relevant news of the day in a concise but digestible form.
[00:06:55]  It's the Rumble Premium Bonus segment.
[00:06:57]  I pay $99 annually for this, and I will not let you ruin it.
[00:07:03]  You know I'm on a fixed income.
[00:07:05]  Hard-earned, might I add, Josephine.
[00:07:07]  The only thing hard-earned this house, Colton, is my patience with you.
[00:07:11]  You run up the water, Bill, Colton.
[00:07:12]  Damn it, all you'd better talk to you like that.
[00:07:14]  Well, to the untrained eye, that would appear what is going on.
[00:07:18]  But like a well-trained cobra, I'm waiting for my time to pounce.
[00:07:23]  Here go patience.
[00:07:25]  You clearly do not understand the simple principle of fluid dynamics, Josephine.
[00:07:31]  It is either the product or the end user, and that toilet is a stellar product, which is why I'm inclined to believe that you, Josephine, are at fault.
[00:07:44]  That toilet can take a punch, but what you do in there is illegal in 47 states.
[00:07:50]  Colton, you know, I have a condition.
[00:07:52]  Did you even get that bar from Home Depot I asked for?
[00:07:56]  I stopped at the Home Depot, yes.
[00:07:59]  They didn't have the American-made flange in question, and you know, I will not support the Chinese communist supply chain.
[00:08:06]  And I didn't know Fat and Ugly was recognizing an official condition.
[00:08:10]  At least I made a fing effort, Josephine.
[00:08:13]  You made an effort to go to the hardware store parking lot to smoke a pack of cigarettes.
[00:08:18]  Your efforts are myth, like your veteran status.
[00:08:21]  Dog, she's going after your military service record now.
[00:08:24]  You gotta pounce on that hoe.
[00:08:25]  I'm building to it.
[00:08:26]  Damn it, woman.
[00:08:27]  What?
[00:08:28]  You know I'm flat-footed.
[00:08:29]  That's why I have planar fasciitis.
[00:08:31]  It's a disability.
[00:08:33]  It says so right on the check I get in the mail.
[00:08:38]  You got that check from the mailbox, Colton.
[00:08:40]  Walk into it's your only job.
[00:08:43]  Go fix the toilet, Colton.
[00:08:45]  Pop your ass down, woman.
[00:08:46]  How about that?
[00:08:47]  You're ruining.
[00:08:47]  You're ruining the show for me and our guest, okay?
[00:08:50]  I'm sorry about that, D-Day.
[00:08:51]  Pop down.
[00:08:52]  I'm thyme your ass, but you probably like it.
[00:08:55]  You and your home old friend.
[00:08:57]  Yo, what did I do?
[00:08:59]  That's crossing a fucking line, woman.
[00:09:02]  My friend's preferred type of friction is none of your business.
[00:09:06]  I'm fishing to teach you a lesson by popping you upside the head.
[00:09:10]  How about that?
[00:09:11]  Dog.
[00:09:13]  I'm not gay.
[00:09:14]  I know, but I was just making her think about what she said.
[00:09:18]  Come here, come here.
[00:09:20]  Come here, Josephine.
[00:09:22]  Cole, what's that bell for?
[00:09:23]  Come here.
[00:09:23]  I got a buyer.
[00:09:24]  I'm down.
[00:09:25]  I'm cold just like I was when I just saw romantic.
[00:09:29]  Just take my hand.

[00:10:29]  Glad to be with you and not in the back of an ice car.
[00:10:32]  Yeah.
[00:10:33]  Yeah, that was a long race.
[00:10:35]  Yeah.
[00:10:35]  In the back of an ice car.
[00:10:36]  Almost get deported.
[00:10:37]  The other day they kept getting moved up.
[00:10:38]  Like, oh, you know, we're going to grab you at five.
[00:10:40]  Okay, all right, 4:30.
[00:10:42]  All right.
[00:10:42]  Okay, four.
[00:10:42]  And then it's 3:45.
[00:10:44]  I said, no.
[00:10:45]  No, we're not.
[00:10:46]  We're not.
[00:10:46]  And this wasn't ice, by the way.
[00:10:48]  We could have been there at 5.
[00:10:49]  Now, let me ask you, what is the most important thing that the Trump administration needs to communicate with Iran?
[00:11:00]  That's a real question.
[00:11:01]  And do you believe that we are at war with Iran?
[00:11:04]  If you do, why?
[00:11:06]  What is your opinion on this situation?
[00:11:07]  And does it make you view MAGA, America First, differently?
[00:11:11]  Because I'll tell you what, there are reasons for there to be sort of an internal civil war, if you will, within the conservative movement.
[00:11:19]  I've seen it in the past.
[00:11:19]  I saw it with the Tea Party.
[00:11:21]  I don't think that this is one of them, even though I think that disagreements over the approach are perfectly appropriate.
[00:11:28]  And that's not fence setting.
[00:11:29]  That is, look, as it relates to, there's information that is incomplete for you and for me as the public, and rightfully so.
[00:11:37]  You want this guy, you want president to have to go to Congress?
[00:11:42]  You think Rashida Tlaib's not going to blab her terrorist mouth all across town?
[00:11:45]  All right, we'll talk about that more.
[00:11:47]  Captain Morgan C. How are you?
[00:11:48]  I'm well.
[00:11:49]  How are you?
[00:11:49]  I am doing Very full day.
[00:11:52]  Had a very full day, very full travel schedule, and also full travel schedule.
[00:11:56]  This man, who actually, of course, has served and his insight is valuable here.
[00:12:00]  He's going to be Friday, Saturday, March 20th, 21st at Summit City Comedy Club, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
[00:12:05]  Not underscore Firesteader X Josh Firestein.
[00:12:07]  Hello.
[00:12:07]  I may or may not be doing a ride along in Fort Wayne as well.
[00:12:10]  Ooh.
[00:12:11]  With an Uber driver.
[00:12:12]  Yes.
[00:12:12]  I was going to say.
[00:12:13]  Yes.
[00:12:13]  That's pretty boring.
[00:12:14]  I've got to keep it safe.
[00:12:15]  Yeah.
[00:12:16]  But it will not run in anywhere.
[00:12:17]  It will smell like Indian food.
[00:12:21]  Yeah.
[00:12:21]  It'll smell like someone ice is coming for.
[00:12:23]  Yes, it will.
[00:12:24]  Which is nice.
[00:12:25]  All right.
[00:12:26]  Palette cleanse.
[00:12:27]  Spring break is coming fast.
[00:12:30]  I don't know what you're thinking.
[00:12:31]  Breasts?
[00:12:32]  Stop now.
[00:12:33]  Nice.
[00:12:34]  Throw us.
[00:12:35]  Come on.
[00:12:35]  No, I won't.
[00:12:36]  I'm not a boob guy.
[00:12:37]  But, you know, this is not the only place that celebrates spring break, the United States.
[00:12:42]  They do in someone argue, I would state, the worst country in the world, India.
[00:12:47]  Just look at this water park.
[00:12:53]  That looks all right.
[00:12:55]  Snor...
[00:12:56]  Oh, okay, well...
[00:12:57]  into no pool, yeah, just, oh, it hurts.
[00:13:03]  See how the slide's shaking?
[00:13:06]  My coxus, my coxus.
[00:13:10]  No, don't build supports.
[00:13:11]  Just hire guys to do it.
[00:13:13]  It's your tailbone, by the way.
[00:13:15]  I do.
[00:13:16]  Also, by the way, guests get a free T-shirt offer.
[00:13:26]  It doesn't hurt at all.
[00:13:33]  That part looks good.
[00:13:36]  No.
[00:13:42]  I love how he's slowing himself down with the rails because he knows it's going to fracture his tailbone.
[00:13:47]  And rather than fix the tailbone fracturing problem of the water park, they're like, just slow yourself down on this slide.
[00:13:54]  It won't hurt.
[00:13:54]  Don't be a baby.
[00:13:56]  You don't even have to fix it.
[00:13:57]  There's already a hole in the ground where the water would fill up if you let it.
[00:14:00]  Yes, there's already a hole in the ground.
[00:14:02]  It's called India.
[00:14:05]  And by the way, here's the t-shirt in question you get for free.
[00:14:08]  Yeah, very.
[00:14:09]  Oh, come on now.
[00:14:13]  A fun fact for India, because all cultures are equal.
[00:14:16]  Groundwater in that area has high levels of iron, arsenic, and human poop.
[00:14:43]  I love that they had one pool that had water in it.
[00:14:45]  It makes me think: like, why the rest of it not having water?
[00:14:49]  Means someone made a decision.
[00:14:50]  Like, no, only the one needs water.
[00:14:53]  Our budget only calls for one.
[00:14:54]  It's only one.
[00:14:55]  It's a water park, but we can't have water everywhere.
[00:14:58]  Too much food.
[00:14:59]  And it would be the whole place.

=== Why The Rest Doesn't Have Water (10:53) ===

[00:15:01]  What's next?
[00:15:02]  Rollercoaster is going to have the full track?
[00:15:04]  No, By the way, the rivers near that park are also incredibly polluted from sewage, just to be clear.
[00:15:11]  Near the park.
[00:15:12]  Yeah, where people also bathe.
[00:15:14]  All cultures are equal.
[00:15:15]  We need to stop every last Indian migrant. here in this country.
[00:15:21]  I would like people to be there with tennis rackets, just swatting them out.
[00:15:24]  That's a big racket.
[00:15:25]  Yeah.
[00:15:26]  Well, not that big.
[00:15:27]  We prefer bad mitten.
[00:15:29]  Oh, whatever.
[00:15:30]  And that's what you're saying in this accent.
[00:15:32]  Yes, we like to hit the shuttlecock.
[00:15:35]  That's what it's called.
[00:15:36]  But we call it the birdie.
[00:15:39]  All right.
[00:15:40]  Before we get to Iran, because I know Iran's going to be heavy, rightfully.
[00:15:43]  Now, you know what?
[00:15:44]  We'll make it fun.
[00:15:46]  Talk about transit kids.
[00:15:47]  Yeah, sure.
[00:15:48]  Yeah, here's one that's more fun.
[00:15:49]  Hey, so in California, you know, they would help kids trans and not tell the parents, which, you know, to me is an act of evil.
[00:15:58]  Yeah.
[00:15:58]  You comment below if you.
[00:15:59]  That's me, the extremist.
[00:16:00]  Well, yesterday, the Supreme Court actually said that California schools can't help conceal students who are trying to transition and identify with some made-up new gender.
[00:16:10]  The parents have a right to know.
[00:16:12]  The U.S. Supreme Court just cleared the way for California schools to tell parents if their children identify as transgender without getting the students' approval.
[00:16:21]  The process is known as parental notification.
[00:16:24]  For now, the high court's discussion is a state law that bans automatic parental notification requirements if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
[00:16:33]  Religious parents and educators challenge the law, but the state argued that students have the right to privacy about their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families.
[00:16:44]  The high court sided with the parents and reinstated a lower court order while this case continues to play out.
[00:16:50]  And think about that for a second.
[00:16:51]  They have the right to privacy.
[00:16:53]  Children in even high school, they don't have the right to privacy if they are administered in aspirin, but they can transition.
[00:17:01]  This is how when people say, oh, you know, the party's gone far right, far left.
[00:17:05]  No, no, this whole country has gone illogically left, and the Democrat Party has gone radically Marxist left.
[00:17:13]  You can see with the 6-3 decision, they affirmed basic parental rights.
[00:17:16]  You know, the same kind of rights that you have as far as what your kids eat, the power of association, after-school activities, right?
[00:17:23]  Medication, all of that.
[00:17:25]  You have the same rights.
[00:17:28]  By the way, a lot of their sexual activity.
[00:17:31]  I know this kid's under this age, they can't consent to sex, but apparently they can consent to hormone therapy or gender transition that would forever ruin their potential sex life.
[00:17:41]  So the Supreme Court ruled, hey, you have basic rights as a parent.
[00:17:43]  You know the ones that you've always had?
[00:17:45]  Yeah.
[00:17:45]  Dissenting judges Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson.
[00:17:49]  Surprise!
[00:17:51]  Surprise!
[00:17:51]  Here's the problem.
[00:17:52]  Before it got to the Supreme Court, parents weren't in on this.
[00:17:55]  They were having their children's activities concealed from them systemically since 2014.
[00:18:02]  That's the entire length of my daughter's life.
[00:18:04]  Think about that.
[00:18:05]  It did.
[00:18:06]  That's disturbing.
[00:18:08]  And just to give you an idea, too, they say, oh, teachers argue.
[00:18:11]  First off, if teachers argue it, I'm usually against it.
[00:18:14]  That's my general disorder.
[00:18:15]  It's like, oh, sorry.
[00:18:17]  The real heroes, nurses and teachers, I remember what you guys did.
[00:18:20]  You're wrong.
[00:18:21]  I don't even need to do a fact check.
[00:18:22]  I just know that you are saying it.
[00:18:24]  And I'll show you this next clip.
[00:18:26]  These are the kinds of teachers, those in higher education, those in public education, who are teaching your children about modern gender theory.
[00:18:34]  One lady, Madeline Mann, she is at UC San Francisco.
[00:18:38]  She's the associate director for clinical and translational science, workforce development, and consultation services.
[00:18:44]  Here is her being confronted by somebody who doesn't believe that children should be genitally mutilated or chemically castrated.
[00:18:52]  This lady, who works in higher education, being confronted and threatening to find, to hunt down and kill a mom with an opposing opinion.
[00:19:07]  It's not hatred to tell a child.
[00:19:09]  So this lady's being facetious and she's confronting an actual transaction for children.
[00:19:16]  I've been coming on stage for this over $100 token and the surgeon makes $25,000.
[00:19:23]  I was approved for a phalloplasty with two appointments in Brazil.
[00:19:28]  My doctor told me I could have a fake penis that would allow me to either pee standing up or to have penetrated sex but not moat.
[00:19:36]  Both.
[00:19:36]  What?
[00:19:37]  Do you think your transgender child might one day have cop surgery and a phalloplasty?
[00:19:42]  Is that something you would allow them to have?
[00:19:45]  You know, they make a phalloplasty out of the skin tissue on your thigh and your forearm.
[00:19:51]  It's like a straight-house.
[00:19:52]  This lady right now is the one who believes in trans and kids.
[00:19:55]  Here she goes.
[00:19:57]  I'm going to put you down and shoot.
[00:20:01]  Wait, you can't say that.
[00:20:02]  You can't tell somebody you're going to kill them.
[00:20:04]  Pushed her head, too.
[00:20:05]  You can't say that to somebody.
[00:20:08]  Those are the people.
[00:20:09]  Those are the people who grace the halls of academia and public education.
[00:20:14]  I'm going to hunt you down and kill you.
[00:20:15]  She's like the Liam Neeson of trans activists.
[00:20:18]  I've got full-blown aids.
[00:20:19]  Correct.
[00:20:23]  I don't know what you are.
[00:20:25]  I don't know what your gender is, but I have a particular set of perversions.
[00:20:32]  Have you ever seen a phalloplasty?
[00:20:34]  I will give you hormones.
[00:20:36]  It's not bigger than mine.
[00:20:38]  I will find you.
[00:20:39]  I will give you a phalloplasty.
[00:20:40]  Yes.
[00:20:41]  And then I will look at it and take pride in my work and do a pitch-perfect American accent.
[00:20:46]  I'm from Poughkeepsie.
[00:20:48]  You sound the same, sir.
[00:20:50]  Well, I'm a method actor.
[00:20:52]  My method is acting Irish all the time.
[00:20:56]  Think about it.
[00:20:57]  That lady is willing to hunt down, hunt down a concerned parent and kill her.
[00:21:01]  The hill she's willing to die on is transitioning your kids, encouraging your kids to transition, and hiding it from you as a parent.
[00:21:10]  We want to say that, ah, we've made no progress.
[00:21:13]  We live in a country where two genders are officially recognized right now.
[00:21:16]  You realize that's a change.
[00:21:17]  And I get it.
[00:21:18]  You say that can be undone because it's an executive order.
[00:21:20]  But at least we have a direction.
[00:21:22]  At least we have an executive order.
[00:21:24]  Do you know what this would look like, this country, with Kamala Harris as president or Gavin Newsom?
[00:21:31]  Do you guys understand the levels of depravity and evil that you are facing?
[00:21:36]  Hey, I don't think that you should transition children, and I think that parents have a right to know.
[00:21:41]  I will murder you.
[00:21:42]  That's the interaction you just saw.
[00:21:46]  How much do you want to bet that pre-social media, that administrator would face no repercussions whatsoever for doing that?
[00:21:55]  Anyone want to place bets?
[00:21:56]  Comment below.
[00:21:57]  I bet that that's not the first time she's reacted that way.
[00:22:00]  No.
[00:22:01]  No, I would bet.
[00:22:02]  No, unless it is the first time that someone's actually made her have to reconcile with her decisions.
[00:22:08]  She has a trans kid.
[00:22:09]  That person was literally asking her, would you do this?
[00:22:12]  Would you let them have this?
[00:22:13]  Would you make them live this life?
[00:22:14]  And that's what set her off.
[00:22:15]  Right.
[00:22:16]  The fact that she had to come to terms with her own actions.
[00:22:20]  Isn't it also funny how these hippies, these patchouli wearing tree huggers?
[00:22:24]  Not so they are.
[00:22:24]  They're San Francisco retrades.
[00:22:25]  This person is actually San Francisco.
[00:22:27]  Ah, big pharma, man.
[00:22:29]  It's all a scam.
[00:22:29]  And when someone can, over two Zoom calls, be approved for a fake penis, let's call it what it is.
[00:22:36]  $100 copay surgeon makes $25,000 for a cosmetic procedure, a perverted, evil, straight from the depths of hell procedure.
[00:22:44]  Where did all the criticism for Big Pharma go?
[00:22:46]  You think everyone's doing this out of the goodness of their heart?
[00:22:48]  Just ignore the $25,000.
[00:22:50]  Just ignore the $50,000 here, $130,000 depending on the procedure.
[00:22:54]  Why aren't we critical across the...
[00:22:55]  It's almost like we're back in vaccine land.
[00:22:58]  Someone calls Stephen Colbert.
[00:22:59]  I don't know how to make sense of it.
[00:23:00]  I know.
[00:23:00]  The technology, guys, why are we making the decision between peeing, standing up, or having sex?
[00:23:05]  Is that even a question?
[00:23:06]  Like, you just pick the sex part, right?
[00:23:08]  No, that's a good point.
[00:23:09]  I would imagine.
[00:23:10]  Yeah, I would imagine.
[00:23:10]  You just pick sex.
[00:23:12]  I would imagine it's the novelty aspect.
[00:23:13]  Look, ladies, if you think, like, it is journals are kind of cool.
[00:23:16]  I'm not going to, especially when they put ice chips down, we get to melt ice chips.
[00:23:19]  Oh, yeah.
[00:23:19]  But the novel, once you've done it once or twice, you know, you've seen them all as far as the urnals.
[00:23:23]  You definitely want to pick the ability to use a wiener to experience fun wiener things.
[00:23:29]  But yeah, if you only get to do one at a time, she said, yeah, you're not going to be able to.
[00:23:32]  That's your art telling.
[00:23:33]  Whatever, not at a time.
[00:23:34]  This was like a you choose your path story.
[00:23:36]  You'll have to stand up the rest of your life or you can have fun sex the rest of your life.
[00:23:40]  Well, what would you choose, Gerald?
[00:23:41]  Sex, of course.
[00:23:42]  I would choose sitting down.
[00:23:43]  I already sit down to pee.
[00:23:44]  Yeah.
[00:23:45]  Well, then you chose the same thing.
[00:23:46]  It's more effective.
[00:23:47]  And by the way, speaking of all this perversion, this is a wholesome show.
[00:23:50]  We have to address addressing the perversion, addressing the subversion of society doesn't mean that we approve it.
[00:23:55]  Same thing, you know, look out there, I know that some ladies have to dance their way through college.
[00:23:59]  And then you see all these people out there where they do that with the super chats where it's like, hey, could you guys give us a dollar?
[00:24:03]  You know, they're out there.
[00:24:04]  And it's like, let's go to the champagne room.
[00:24:05]  We don't do it, but we treat you that way in a wholesome way.
[00:24:08]  It's time for reverse super chat.

[00:24:26]  You can't do that.
[00:24:27]  No.
[00:24:27]  Not like, you know, cameo or shout out or anything like that.
[00:24:31]  Why are you talking?
[00:24:32]  We had a commercial about it and it looked a little like that.
[00:24:33]  I just wanted to say that.
[00:24:34]  Did it look a little like that?
[00:24:35]  I mean, a little.
[00:24:35]  Remember, Gerald sent us to do a bar mitzvah.
[00:24:37]  We had to perform for a bunch of Jewish adolescents?
[00:24:40]  Yes, that's right.
[00:24:41]  I forgot about that.

[00:24:48]  This has been Reverse Super Chat.
[00:24:53]  Yeah, hello, mom.
[00:24:53]  You still dancing?
[00:24:57]  All right.
[00:24:58]  Let's get to it.
[00:24:59]  And Applejack, were we able to just give me a yes or no?
[00:25:02]  Were we able to confirm that thing if there was a beep or no?
[00:25:04]  Yes, there was.
[00:25:05]  Okay, good.
[00:25:05]  All right, good.
[00:25:06]  Then I can.
[00:25:07]  It's going to be lingering in the middle.
[00:25:08]  It would, yeah, relax.
[00:25:09]  We cut the Colton Wades expecting the bleep.
[00:25:11]  I was like, was that messing up bleep?
[00:25:12]  Because I would never actually say that unless I knew there was a cover of the bleep.
[00:25:15]  It's true.
[00:25:15]  Like an iron dome.
[00:25:16]  But they completely masked what you said.
[00:25:19]  Speaking of which, look, let's get to Iran.
[00:25:24]  And sometimes there's value in having the perspective of being offline for a little bit because we were in the back of an ice paddy wagon yesterday, Tool Man and I.
[00:25:33]  And we'll kind of share that ride along with you and hopefully do right by those ICE agents because they're doing a bang-up job and they're being vilified for things that they don't do and they're not being very smooth yesterday.
[00:25:42]  Well, we missed some.
[00:25:43]  I can't imagine what Minnesota ride-along would look like.
[00:25:47]  Yeah.
[00:25:47]  Yeah, very smooth.
[00:25:48]  Probably be more interesting for us.
[00:25:49]  Yeah.
[00:25:49]  It was almost boring.
[00:25:51]  These guys are so good at it.
[00:25:52]  Yeah.
[00:25:53]  These child pornographers are so boring.

=== Iran's Missile Threat (15:12) ===

[00:25:55]  I know, right?
[00:25:56]  Where's your bar?
[00:25:57]  Where's your bar?
[00:25:58]  Wait until you see that one.
[00:25:58]  It's just hard to see.
[00:25:59]  Seeing that pornographer in cuffs was exciting.
[00:26:02]  Yes.
[00:26:02]  Yes, it was.
[00:26:03]  So I like.
[00:26:04]  Did you slap him around a little bit?
[00:26:05]  No, it was a lady.
[00:26:06]  That's too bad.
[00:26:07]  It was a lady.
[00:26:07]  It was ridiculous.
[00:26:08]  It was a mother of her own.
[00:26:09]  It was a mother of her own children.
[00:26:11]  Oh, even more worthy of slapping.
[00:26:12]  I took pictures and videos and distributed them on WhatsApp who was being deported.
[00:26:18]  And we watched her drop off her children at a grade school.
[00:26:22]  What?
[00:26:22]  Went 30 over?
[00:26:24]  Chase her down?
[00:26:26]  And yeah, she will be deported.
[00:26:29]  That would have been a perfect CNN propaganda stream.
[00:26:31]  Mom with children.
[00:26:32]  Mom separated from children by ICE.
[00:26:35]  You know what?
[00:26:36]  You know why I have some high praise for ICE?
[00:26:38]  I'll tell you, if I'm king for a day, that woman is buried where she stands.
[00:26:43]  And they add restraint.
[00:26:45]  Yep.
[00:26:45]  Okay.
[00:26:46]  They actually asked if she had any medical conditions because she was a fat bitch too.
[00:26:48]  So it's like, hey, diabetes, very common.
[00:26:50]  And get her in the back of a car.
[00:26:52]  Let her ask for a lawyer.
[00:26:53]  Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked.
[00:26:54]  But I was seeing obviously the news with Iran.
[00:26:58]  I was glued to the news this weekend and then kind of checked back in.
[00:27:03]  And it was amazing to see some of the narratives shift and to see the infighting.
[00:27:08]  And you guys let me know if you think that this is one of those subjects where I think it's fair for people to have disagreements and it is not a disqualifying factor.
[00:27:17]  What I mean by that is if someone believes in transitioning children, I'm not going to try and find common ground with them on anything because I believe it's evil.
[00:27:25]  If someone believes in stripping you of your Second Amendment rights wholesale, I'm not going to find any common ground with them because I believe that that's evil.
[00:27:32]  I don't believe that someone who thinks we should not intervene at all in Iran, I don't believe that's an evil stance.
[00:27:39]  And I don't believe that someone's saying there is an opportune moment right now, there's a moment in time where we can take out their leadership and mitigate a threat.
[00:27:45]  I don't think that's evil either.
[00:27:47]  I think that's a strategic decision.
[00:27:48]  And we'll go through the finances.
[00:27:50]  We'll go through the objectives and we'll go through the bad communications from this administration as well as the propaganda that you see online.
[00:27:56]  So first, I think it's important to set this context.
[00:27:59]  The objectives for this military operation have been laid out.
[00:28:03]  Okay?
[00:28:04]  And they've been pretty clear.
[00:28:05]  We're tethered to them.
[00:28:06]  Number one, prevent Iran from getting a nuke.
[00:28:09]  Number two, destroy Iran's ballistic missile capabilities.
[00:28:12]  And number three, to cripple Iran's Navy.
[00:28:14]  Already done, by the way.
[00:28:15]  You can check that off the list.
[00:28:18]  And I watched this press conference from Marco Rubio.
[00:28:22]  Full disclosure, I've been on the show a couple times.
[00:28:24]  I watched the whole conference.
[00:28:26]  I thought that was really, really well handled.
[00:28:28]  Then I saw that the White House communications team decided to cut out the clip or a clip that would present it as out of context as possible.
[00:28:38]  Huge misstep.
[00:28:39]  And that is what everyone is discussing.
[00:28:41]  So I want to show you that clip.
[00:28:43]  And then I want to show you more contextual answers and ask you before we move on with a claim truth fact check if it changes your opinion or perspective.
[00:28:53]  Here's what they put out: woefully handled.
[00:28:57]  The United States is conducting an operation to eliminate the threat of Iran's short-range ballistic missiles and the threat posed by their Navy, particularly to naval assets.
[00:29:07]  That is what it is focused on doing right now, and it's doing quite successfully.
[00:29:10]  I'll leave it to the Pentagon and the Department of War to discuss the tactics behind that and the progress that's being made.
[00:29:16]  That is the clear objective of this mission.
[00:29:18]  The second question that I've been asked is, why now?
[00:29:21]  Well, there's two reasons why now.
[00:29:22]  The first is it was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone, the United States or Israel or anyone, they were going to respond and respond against the United States.
[00:29:32]  The orders had been delegated down to the field commanders.
[00:29:35]  It was automatic, and in fact, it bared to be true because, in fact, within an hour of the initial attack on the leadership compound, the missile forces in the south and in the north, for that matter, had already been activated to launch.
[00:29:49]  In fact, those had already been pre-positioned.
[00:29:52]  The third is the assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties.
[00:30:01]  And so, the president made the very wise decision.
[00:30:04]  We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.
[00:30:06]  We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces.
[00:30:10]  And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed.
[00:30:18]  And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't happen.
[00:30:22]  Now, there's been criticism based on that clip, and rightfully so.
[00:30:25]  Going, oh, so basically, they're not our friends, Israel, and they forced our hand.
[00:30:29]  We shouldn't be going to war on behalf of any other nation.
[00:30:32]  A valid criticism.
[00:30:35]  If that was the sole case.
[00:30:39]  But it wasn't.
[00:30:40]  I also think that we need to walk through that logically and go: look, if we're America, I don't think that we should be sending Israel, whatever it is, three to four billion dollars a year.
[00:30:47]  I think that Israel can handle themselves.
[00:30:48]  I think there are many different vested interests in Iran not getting to the point of being a nuclear power and, frankly, being neutered.
[00:30:55]  But that video shared, it reflected a position of, well, Israel was going to do it, so we had to jump in.
[00:31:03]  Right.
[00:31:03]  Across the board, you can bring up the collage.
[00:31:05]  Across the board, you guys had criticisms.
[00:31:07]  And I actually agree with them.
[00:31:10]  I more so agree with the fact that I can't believe that that is the sole clip or the primary clip that was shared from this White House.
[00:31:17]  So your criticism, by the way, of course, echoed by a lot of people out there, like Senator Mark Warner from Virginia Democrat, jumped at the opportunity to use that and smear the Trump administration.
[00:31:27]  Let's also be clear.
[00:31:31]  Said before, I've said now, there was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians.
[00:31:45]  There was a threat to Israel.
[00:31:50]  We equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States.
[00:31:58]  Then we are in uncharted territory.
[00:32:02]  We have seen the goals for this operation change now, I believe, four or five times.
[00:32:12]  You know, the first time I saw that clip, I could not avert my eyes from his lips.
[00:32:18]  Let's also be clear.
[00:32:22]  I've said before, I've said now, there was no imminent threat to the United States.
[00:32:43]  I get it.
[00:32:44]  That makes sense.
[00:32:45]  That also explains why you're out of the office.
[00:32:49]  So, look, I agree with that.
[00:32:51]  I know I would hate.
[00:32:52]  And by the way, those who are misrepresenting, I guess I should say the premise here, are in complete agreement with the left and Democrats.
[00:33:00]  I would agree with the conclusion if the premise was correct with Warner.
[00:33:05]  But it's not, though.
[00:33:06]  And that's not the only thing that, I highly recommend that you go and watch the full press conference.
[00:33:10]  So let me ask you this.
[00:33:11]  Here's a question.
[00:33:12]  If you could be convinced that Iran, and not just a nuclear Iran, but an Iran that could be, for example, immune and defend their capability of building up nuclear weapons with very clear intent as to how they would use them.
[00:33:30]  If you believe that that was, obviously and eventually a threat to the United States, and they were en route to that right now, if you believe there was a threat to the United States, maybe not now, maybe a year, maybe a year and a half from now, but that was set in stone, not to Israel, to the United States, would that change your opinion on a military operation?
[00:33:51]  That's a question.
[00:33:52]  Genuine question.
[00:33:53]  If Iran was a threat to the United States.
[00:33:55]  We'll get to whether they're a threat to the United States or not.
[00:33:58]  The important part is Rubio made very clear as to why, how, and when Iran would present not as a threat to Israel, but the United States, period.
[00:34:09]  Here you go.
[00:34:10]  It's a long clip for context.
[00:34:13]  The purpose of this is to destroy that missile capability.
[00:34:16]  Why does Iran want that ballistic missile capability?
[00:34:19]  What they are trying to do and have been trying to do for a very long time is build a conventional weapons capability as a shield where they can hide behind.
[00:34:28]  Meaning, there would come a point where they have so many conventional missiles, so many drones, and it can inflict so much damage that no one can do anything about their nuclear program.
[00:34:37]  That is what they were trying to do, is put themselves in a place of immunity where the damage they can inflict on the region would be so high that no one can do anything about their nuclear program or their nuclear ambitions.
[00:34:48]  They are producing, by some estimates, over 100 of these missiles a month.
[00:34:53]  Compare that to the six or seven interceptors that can be built a month.
[00:34:56]  They can build 100 of these a month, not to mention the thousands of one-way attack drones that they also have.
[00:35:02]  They've been doing this for a very long time.
[00:35:03]  And by the way, they've been doing it under sanction.
[00:35:06]  You see the attacks they're conducting right now?
[00:35:08]  They're attacking airports.
[00:35:09]  They're attacking hotels.
[00:35:11]  They're hitting not just military bases.
[00:35:13]  They're attacking our embassies directly.
[00:35:15]  They're attacking facilities that have nothing to do with war or with military.
[00:35:18]  And that's a weak end Iran.
[00:35:20]  That's in Iran despite years of sanction.
[00:35:22]  Imagine a year from now or a year and a half from now the capabilities they would have to inflict damage on us.
[00:35:27]  It's an unacceptable risk, especially in the hands of a regime that's run by radical clerics.
[00:35:35]  The US was forced to strike because of an impending Israeli action.
[00:35:39]  No, first, well, let me two things I would say.
[00:35:40]  Number one is no matter what, ultimately this operation needed to happen.
[00:35:43]  That's the question of why now.
[00:35:45]  But this operation needed to happen because Iran in about a year or a year and a half would cross the line of immunity, meaning they would have so many short-range missiles, so many drones, that no one could do anything about it because they could hold the whole world hostage.
[00:35:57]  Look at the damage they're doing now.
[00:35:59]  And this is a weekend toran.
[00:36:00]  Imagine a year from now.
[00:36:02]  So that had to happen.
[00:36:03]  Obviously, we were aware of Israeli intentions and understood what that would mean for us, and we had to be prepared to act as a result of it.
[00:36:09]  But this had to happen no matter what.
[00:36:11]  Does that change the context?
[00:36:13]  Now, you may buy it, you may not.
[00:36:15]  But that was the argument that he made.
[00:36:18]  It was presented as though he was making the argument, well, we had to do it because Israel, period.
[00:36:21]  Let me ask this.
[00:36:22]  Aurora, was it Aurora, Colorado, I believe, the illegal immigrant apartments?
[00:36:27]  Yes.
[00:36:27]  Sorry, Colorado.
[00:36:28]  Colorado.
[00:36:29]  Okay, let me give you sort of an analogy.
[00:36:32]  If you knew that that was happening and they were building up, basically, their own system of laws, basically a black market, an entire apartment complex of MS-13 members in Aurora, Colorado.
[00:36:46]  If you knew that their eventual goal was 100 or 200 to take over a municipality and you were at five, would you stop it there?
[00:36:55]  Or would you rather face them when there's 100 or 200?
[00:37:00]  It's a legitimate discussion to have.
[00:37:02]  But these are the kinds of decisions that have been made militarily for a very, very long time.
[00:37:06]  And if it seems like I'm always more hesitant or reticent to express an opinion, for example, before the strike on the uranium enrichment facility, yeah, you're right.
[00:37:17]  And the reason why is because there's information that I don't know and I know I can't know.
[00:37:22]  Remember, I said I'm 50-50.
[00:37:23]  I would rather that Israel do it, but I understand the bunker busters.
[00:37:26]  Now, if someone came to me and said, we have the ability to carry out that strike with no loss of life and be over the ocean before anyone wakes up, I would say, well, yeah, okay, I get it.
[00:37:37]  Same thing with this type of operation right now.
[00:37:39]  If someone were to say, hey, look, there is an opportune moment where we can have the Ayatollah and the next top-in-line ranked commanders, two through 75, and they're all going to be in the same spot, and we can take them all out at once.
[00:37:53]  And there's a small moment, I would go, you know what?
[00:37:57]  I understand.
[00:37:57]  Yeah, I think that might be a good move.
[00:37:59]  But I can't know that information, and we shouldn't know that information.
[00:38:03]  My opinion can be changed.
[00:38:05]  Change my mind specifically on military decisions because they are inherently strategic decisions.
[00:38:10]  I want to reiterate this.
[00:38:12]  Opinion, my moral worldview will never be changed on the value of life, abortion, transitioning children, the Second Amendment, the First Amendment.
[00:38:21]  But military decisions that require closed group meetings, they're primarily based on, okay, level of threat, opportunity, and then mitigating any loss of life or resources.
[00:38:36]  And you find the intersect therein.
[00:38:38]  That's how decisions like that are made.
[00:38:41]  That's where I think this discussion needs to take place.
[00:38:44]  And we're going to go through, by the way, some myths out there, some claims versus truths.
[00:38:49]  I think it's very important to note that Iran would be the first nation ever, ever in the history of the world to be at 60% enrichment, really to be at 40% enrichment and not build a nuclear weapon.
[00:39:00]  So if we all start with Iran, we'll build a nuclear weapon if left unchecked.
[00:39:05]  Okay.
[00:39:06]  Should something be done about that?
[00:39:08]  Is that good for the world?
[00:39:08]  Is that good for the United States?
[00:39:09]  Is that America first?
[00:39:11]  And when do you intervene?
[00:39:12]  Well, I think that if you believe you need to intervene, you go level of threat, even if it's eventual, when's the best opportunity to mitigate loss of life and resources?
[00:39:22]  That's my opinion.
[00:39:23]  So let's go, by the way, through some of the claims and truths out there because there is propaganda on all sides.
[00:39:30]  It's time for clean truth.
[00:39:36]  Here are some of the primary claims that are being made out there.
[00:39:38]  Check the references links in the description.
[00:39:40]  By the way, we're live 11 a.m. weekdays, period, if you're watching the clip.
[00:39:44]  First, claim.
[00:39:46]  Sorry, Toulmin, I know I had a bunch of other throats for you.
[00:39:49]  Here's a claim that I see out there.
[00:39:51]  Only the Jews, and I want to be clear, not just the Jews have an interest.
[00:39:58]  Only the Jews have an interest in castrating or overthrowing the Iranian regime.
[00:40:05]  Only the Jews.
[00:40:06]  That's the claim.
[00:40:07]  I don't think we should be fighting wars on behalf of Israel.
[00:40:11]  And many Americans agree with that.
[00:40:13]  No one should have to die for a foreign country.
[00:40:16]  I don't think those four service members died for the United States.
[00:40:19]  I think they died for Iran or for Israel.
[00:40:22]  And this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel's war.
[00:40:26]  There are a bunch of people in the U.S. government who do not put the United States before the interest of Israel, period.
[00:40:32]  Okay.
[00:40:33]  And then I want to get to you, but here's the truth.
[00:40:36]  Okay.
[00:40:36]  Of course, Israel has an interest in that.
[00:40:39]  But many other parties have a vested interest here, including the United States, which is paramount.
[00:40:47]  But all of the Iranian people around the world, when you see diaspora, pick a country.
[00:40:53]  Are they paid by the Jews?
[00:40:56]  The G7 nations.
[00:40:57]  It's a joint statement reaffirming that Iran can never have nukes.
[00:41:01]  Other nations in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, and even Jordan.

=== Iranian Conflict and Israeli Interests (15:06) ===

[00:41:07]  You know, I'm not saying he wasn't a threat, but me being compared to him, I took offense to that.
[00:41:14]  I would too.
[00:41:15]  And one of the primary benefactors, you could say, here is definitely the United States.
[00:41:20]  Iran has had a problem with the United States going back, I mean, as long as we can remember, but certainly starting 79, where they declared war and they've redeclared war against the United States, killed thousands of service members in many of our bases with no intention to stop.
[00:41:35]  So, yes, Israel does.
[00:41:37]  The myth here, the claim that is false, is that only the Jews would have an interest.
[00:41:43]  Well, you may not say that these interests warrant the action, but to say that there aren't other interests outside of Israel is disingenuine, in my opinion.
[00:41:53]  And you also, on Megan Kelly.
[00:41:55]  Yeah, right.
[00:41:55]  Well, you know, even if it's not just Israel's interests, but even if it was saying that, saying that these American soldiers are dying for Israel, you don't get to say that.
[00:42:04]  I mean, you do get to have an opinion, sure, but you don't get to decide what these soldiers are dying for.
[00:42:08]  Only the person who raises their right hand has the ability to decide what they're dying for.
[00:42:12]  They die with that flag on their shoulder.
[00:42:14]  They're going to have a flag in their casket.
[00:42:15]  They didn't die for Israel.
[00:42:16]  They died in service to their country.
[00:42:18]  I just wanted to say that.
[00:42:20]  Don't use soldiers.
[00:42:21]  Stop using soldiers for your agenda.
[00:42:23]  Stop using soldiers to push your slant.
[00:42:26]  Yeah.
[00:42:27]  It's a terrible look.
[00:42:28]  And it's.
[00:42:29]  Well, that's the thing, too.
[00:42:30]  A lot of people use the word never-ending wars.
[00:42:32]  That's a new term.
[00:42:33]  Okay.
[00:42:34]  I understand the concept of it, and I'm against that.
[00:42:36]  But if you could pull the military, guarantee you would see overwhelming support because they've known and had to deal with Iran for a very long time.
[00:42:43]  We'll see with recruiting numbers here in the next quarter.
[00:42:45]  Yep.
[00:42:45]  It'll be a great indication of how people feel.
[00:42:48]  Yeah, we'll see if recruitment numbers go up in dealing with the Ayatollah, with the camping out at respawn kill, or if it did better with two mommies and transition surgery and stretchy maternity suits for female pilots.
[00:43:02]  We'll see which one appeals to those who you want in the military.
[00:43:04]  Next claim that I see made out there is that President Trump betrayed his base.
[00:43:13]  Traitor.
[00:43:14]  I think the president.
[00:43:17]  President Trump is a traitor and is doing this solely at the direction of the Jews like Adelson.
[00:43:26]  This is everywhere.
[00:43:27]  I think the president has gotten very poor counsel, and I do think it matters politically that he was the no more endless wars candidate in 2016 and 2024, particularly.
[00:43:37]  And this looks like an open betrayal of the base.
[00:43:39]  And even right now, Donald Trump barely has majority support of his own base.
[00:43:47]  Think about it.
[00:43:48]  Last I saw it was only like 55% of Trump voters said, like, okay, we'll support the president so far.
[00:43:55]  The most important definition, Chris, is that America first, which is what he ran on, which is the Trump brand, equals zero wars.
[00:44:04]  That's how voters understood it.
[00:44:06]  Well, look, if we actually had an America-first foreign policy, which means not in the hands of Miriam Adelson and the Zionist lobby, if we actually had that, NetNow couldn't do anything about it.
[00:44:24]  Because Israel, with its 8 to 10 million people, cannot fight Iran with its 100 million people.
[00:44:35]  Okay, and here's the truth.
[00:44:38]  I would be upset if I thought that that was the only reason President Trump is targeting Iran as well.
[00:44:45]  If I believe that he had done a 180, I go, oh, yeah, okay, that is a betrayal.
[00:44:50]  By the way, when he says no new wars, he's not a warmonger president.
[00:44:56]  Peace through strength.
[00:44:58]  Remember Venezuela?
[00:44:59]  I will tell you this, before I get to the truth.
[00:45:02]  If this is what it looks like, not everything is comparable to Iraq.
[00:45:07]  If it looks like Venezuela, if it looks like the Iranian enrichment facilities, if it looks like the first day or two that we saw with Ayatollah through rank 75 can be taken out in swift order, it's one of those areas where I'm going to trust the president's judgment because I think there are a lot of people, a lot of bad actors around the world going, you can just do stuff?
[00:45:29]  Yeah, I think it's great for other world leaders to look at this and remember that it could be you at any time.
[00:45:35]  Right.
[00:45:36]  But this idea that he betrayed his base, it's not President Trump's fault.
[00:45:42]  The truth here, it's not President Trump's fault that you weren't paying attention.
[00:45:47]  The truth, did we already hit the truth?
[00:45:49]  I'll hit it again.
[00:45:49]  Yeah.
[00:45:50]  The truth is he's been clear on Iran since the Iranian revolution.
[00:45:54]  I've shown you clips from, I believe, 2015.
[00:45:56]  I've shown you tweets from 2011.
[00:45:58]  Here's one from 1980, where before President Trump knew that he would ever run for the presidency, he was expressing the idea of America first and how Iran needs to be turned into an example for the sake of America.
[00:46:14]  You may not agree, but you can't say that he's changed his mind.
[00:46:18]  When you get the respect of the other countries, then the other countries tend to do a little bit as you do, and you can create the right attitudes.
[00:46:26]  The Iranian situation is a case in point.
[00:46:29]  That they hold our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous.
[00:46:36]  That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages, to my way of thinking, is a horror.
[00:46:46]  And I don't think they'd do it with other countries.
[00:46:49]  I honestly don't think they'd do it with other countries.
[00:46:51]  Obviously, you're advocating that we should have gone in there with troops, et cetera, and brought our boys out.
[00:46:56]  I absolutely feel that, yes.
[00:46:58]  I don't think there's any question and there's no question in my mind.
[00:47:01]  I think right now we'd be an oil-rich nation, and I believe that we should have done it, and I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it.
[00:47:09]  And I don't think anybody would have held us in abeyance.
[00:47:12]  I don't think anybody would have been angry with us.
[00:47:15]  And we had every right to do it at the time.
[00:47:17]  I think we've lost the opportunity.
[00:47:19]  Now, here's why that's important.
[00:47:21]  That's him in 1980 saying the United States needs to earn the respect of the world, and there's nothing that anyone could do.
[00:47:27]  We need to act like the leaders that we are, and we have the right to get our people back and set the tone.
[00:47:32]  That's 1980.
[00:47:34]  They say, well, okay.
[00:47:36]  Do we see that reflected later on?
[00:47:40]  Is it consistent with the make America great, America first values?
[00:47:44]  Well, remember that famous escalator ride in 2015?
[00:47:47]  That famous video, that famous image took that escalator down and in that very first speech reiterated his sentiments from 1980, from 2004, from 2011.
[00:47:59]  You may not agree with him, but he's not a traitor.
[00:48:02]  Here it is.
[00:48:03]  I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and we won't be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who's making a horrible and laughable deal, who's just being tapped along as they make weapons right now, and then goes into a bicycle race at 72 years old and closes and rakes his leg.
[00:48:28]  I will be doing that.
[00:48:29]  And I promise I will never be in a bicycle race, that I can tell you.
[00:48:34]  So no nukes in Iran and no bicycle race.
[00:48:37]  Bicycles are gay.
[00:48:38]  Yeah, he's kept both promises.
[00:48:40]  They look like a gay flock of seagulls in their spandex, availing their asses.
[00:48:48]  Genuine question.
[00:48:49]  And we'll take your chats.
[00:48:50]  Wherever you line up, can you honestly sit there and say that Donald Trump is a traitor?
[00:48:56]  Can you honestly say that his stance on Iran, and I know people will pull up some tweets where they'll say Donald Trump said that Barack Obama would attack Iran because he was saying that Barack Obama had no balls and so ultimately he wasn't able to handle negotiations.
[00:49:11]  He was trying to say that he knew how to do the art of the, we have statement after how far we have very few people, by the way, on earth, on earth, who we could point to and say has been that consistent on any issue.
[00:49:25]  We're just fortunate that he was a public figure pre-social media where we have his opinion on Iran in 1980.
[00:49:31]  You want to impeach him or you want to vote left or stay home during midterms because you think it's that big of a betrayal?
[00:49:37]  That really is the question, regardless of your stance on Iran.
[00:49:41]  You voted for Trump.
[00:49:42]  He's the same guy from that 1980 clip, same guy from the 2015 clip.
[00:49:46]  You willing to throw everything else away?
[00:49:50]  Here's the next claim that I see people making that well, Iran and Russia both had nukes, but so why didn't we?
[00:50:00]  Why don't we go after Russia then?
[00:50:02]  You see this a lot.
[00:50:03]  Kalaj C3 there, Applejack.
[00:50:05]  That brings us to a new segment, which we like to call meme check, and this is what we're going to actually address.
[00:50:31]  Some very popular memes out there that get shared because we go.
[00:50:35]  This is a great point, it's.
[00:50:36]  It's not.
[00:50:38]  It's an untrue meme.
[00:50:40]  I don't care.
[00:50:41]  I know that your, I know that, I know your boomer grandmother or mother might actually have her meme forwarding office as though it's a part-time job.
[00:50:49]  It doesn't mean that it's accurate.
[00:50:50]  So the meme, and I've seen so many memes out there.
[00:50:52]  So if Iran has, what's that one?
[00:50:54]  I'm attacking because they have nuclear weapons.
[00:50:57]  Iran, why don't you attack Russia?
[00:50:58]  Are you crazy?
[00:50:59]  They have nuclear weapons.
[00:50:59]  This has been shared out there millions and millions of times.
[00:51:01]  People go, yeah, it's a great point.
[00:51:02]  Points on hypocrisy.
[00:51:03]  Here's the truth.
[00:51:03]  Iran never had nukes, dummy.
[00:51:06]  They didn't have nukes yet.
[00:51:07]  Hit truth, toolman.
[00:51:08]  Iran doesn't have nukes, dummy.
[00:51:11]  That's the whole fucking point.
[00:51:13]  The point is that they were past the point of no return where they could become the next Russia or China.
[00:51:18]  You may not agree with it, but picture North Korea.
[00:51:21]  We can't touch that crazy little Muppet bastard.
[00:51:24]  Why?
[00:51:24]  Because he has nukes, but they're a poor nation.
[00:51:27]  So they're pretty much just isolated and off on their own.
[00:51:30]  But think of the threats.
[00:51:32]  You agree?
[00:51:33]  China?
[00:51:34]  China is a major threat as it relates to AI, as it relates to manufacturing.
[00:51:37]  You think that the leverage of nukes helps?
[00:51:41]  Do you think that, by the way, this is all part of the same problem?
[00:51:44]  The Democrats' never-ending pledge to fund the war between Russia and Ukraine, which I am against, by the way.
[00:51:50]  But do you think that Russia is less likely to come to the table and negotiate because they have nukes?
[00:51:55]  The whole point here is Iran did not have nukes, but they were on their way.
[00:52:00]  So we wanted to avoid specifically another China or a Russia with a much more, and I know this is crazy, I'm saying unstable nation because it wasn't even run by a president, even if it's a dictator who's installed as a president or a prime minister, but basically second in command to God for this sect of Islam, the Ayatollah.
[00:52:23]  You understand that, right?
[00:52:25]  Iran was at 60% enriched uranium, okay, just to be clear.
[00:52:31]  There has never been, ever, a non-nuclear state.
[00:52:37]  There has never been another country that has passed the 20% threshold and not built a nuke.
[00:52:44]  Do you believe that Iran would be the first?
[00:52:46]  Answer.
[00:52:47]  Answer.
[00:52:48]  I really want an answer.
[00:52:49]  Do you believe that they would be the first?
[00:52:51]  Now, you can say, guarantee you Iran was going to build a nuke.
[00:52:54]  We know that.
[00:52:56]  All right.
[00:52:56]  You can say, unstable regime, death cult.
[00:53:00]  I still don't think it's America first to do anything.
[00:53:02]  You can say that, or it's not the right time.
[00:53:04]  Fine.
[00:53:06]  Fine.
[00:53:07]  But don't try and trot out your silly little tired shitty tropes comparing it to Iraq because we're not just, it's not some guy.
[00:53:16]  Or the IAEA, by the way, who said that Iraq did not have nukes, have said that they have nukes because this has been an on go.
[00:53:21]  People go, oh, they've been saying that they're going to get a nuke for five years, for 10 years, for 30 years.
[00:53:25]  Yeah, because we've watched the percentage go.
[00:53:27]  It's like watching your battery percentage go down.
[00:53:30]  You can watch it go, oh, okay, they're already past 20%.
[00:53:32]  This would be the first nation that's never built nukes.
[00:53:35]  So when you see this meme out there, people go, that's a good point.
[00:53:37]  Russia has nukes.
[00:53:38]  And Iraq, why do we treat one different?
[00:53:40]  Must be the Jews.
[00:53:41]  Everything about that meme is wrong.
[00:53:44]  Do you honestly believe that Iran was not going to build nuclear weapons?
[00:53:48]  And then, in combination with Marco Rubio communicated, we were about a year to a year and a half away, whether you believe it or not.
[00:53:56]  This is the case he presented.
[00:53:58]  We were about a year to a year and a half away from not being able to stop them at all.
[00:54:03]  In other words, to get to the point where they could build the nukes completely unfettered, where we wouldn't be able to do anything with short-range missiles, with one-way attack drones.
[00:54:11]  They were about a year to a year and a half away from that, where we would no longer be able to negotiate with them because we'd have no leverage.
[00:54:18]  They could be on their way to a nuke.
[00:54:20]  And to be clear on that, we talked about this yesterday, but when they do operations orders and plan a mission, they take into account how many casualties they expect to lose.
[00:54:27]  So it would be something we could do something about, but it would probably be over that threshold.
[00:54:31]  Right.
[00:54:31]  So I think that's what he means by that.
[00:54:34]  We had the capabilities.
[00:54:35]  We could have still done it, but we would have lost so many more people and it would have been such a bigger event of chaos.
[00:54:41]  And the point that I'm making here is, I will tell you, look, I support right now seeing what I'm, I support this action in Iran.
[00:54:49]  I do.
[00:54:51]  I think that's been carried out pretty effectively.
[00:54:52]  I know things could go sideways.
[00:54:54]  I understand that.
[00:54:55]  But I am arguing against the case for impeachment or staying home on election because you believe that this is such a deep betrayal.
[00:55:02]  Do you believe that Donald Trump pulled a 180?
[00:55:04]  I don't think you can make a case.
[00:55:06]  Do you believe that Iran was no threat?
[00:55:09]  You believe they weren't on their way to building nukes?
[00:55:12]  I just, I don't see how you can make the case.
[00:55:13]  You'd have to make, you'd have to take a leap in faith that they would be the first nation to ever get to that threshold and not.
[00:55:20]  They're such a good faith actor that they are not going to build a nuke.
[00:55:24]  So my case is, do you really believe that this judgment call militarily is worth throwing everything else out?
[00:55:32]  And that brings us to the next meme because I see people going, yeah, well, the thing is he hasn't done anything.
[00:55:36]  He's promised.
[00:55:36]  Closed border, 95% reduction, nothing.
[00:55:39]  3 million deportations?
[00:55:41]  Nothing.
[00:55:41]  Voter ID?
[00:55:42]  Nothing?
[00:55:43]  I get some of them are executive orders, but you're going to say that this is nothing because you're making the case that there should be no MAGA, there should be no America First, there should be no conservative movement in this country that Iran warrants the evaporation of it, because that's what we're facing, to be clear.
[00:56:02]  I'm saying that I think we can have disagreements on this, and we still don't want to hand this country over to the left.
[00:56:08]  This goes to the next claim that is very, very lazy.
[00:56:10]  All references, check the links.
[00:56:12]  People will say, oh, it's a meme too.

=== Immediate Assumptions Painted (15:08) ===

[00:56:14]  So Trump can bomb the Ayatollah, but not solve, insert domestic problem here, not deal with homeless, not deal with ICE protesters.
[00:56:23]  In Manage, you have this meme right here.
[00:56:25]  The U.S. government funding relief checks, healthcare, and infrastructure.
[00:56:28]  No, the U.S. government funding the military.
[00:56:30]  Okay.
[00:56:30]  All right.
[00:56:31]  So a couple of points here.
[00:56:34]  First off, a lot of those images are from blue cities.
[00:56:37]  When I see people on the right using these talking points, I'm just hit truth because I'm going to go along with a whole bunch of things that I was going to say.
[00:56:45]  But you know what?
[00:56:46]  There's so many points.
[00:56:47]  Those are blue cities.
[00:56:48]  You think Donald Trump can control what happens in Philly or Portland?
[00:56:53]  You think he can bomb Philly or Portland?
[00:56:56]  No, just targeted missiles at the homeless.
[00:56:58]  Right.
[00:56:59]  Here's the other thing.
[00:57:00]  You could give every single druggie and homeless person in those cities, you could give them $100,000 today.
[00:57:05]  By the end of the week, you'd have the same exact problem.
[00:57:09]  So this idea is very leftist that if we just throw money at the problem, that'll fix it.
[00:57:14]  We can also get to the budgetary issues, too.
[00:57:17]  We'll get to that.
[00:57:17]  You do realize $140 to $450 billion a year, illegal immigrants cost taxpayers, $500 billion a year in fraud.
[00:57:28]  You guys understand, like, these things need to be dealt with.
[00:57:30]  We are not even close to a drop in that bucket when we're talking about the military.
[00:57:33]  Here's the other truth that's really important.
[00:57:35]  Okay, for the same reason that everyone in the DNC and people like Dave Smith and Tucker Carlson are wrong when they say this is an illegal war, they're wrong.
[00:57:46]  The president on issues of foreign policy, the president is as close to, is not, but as close to basically a monarch as you get in this country.
[00:57:56]  Yeah, he can bomb any insane dictator that he wants, to be clear.
[00:58:02]  He can go out, he can do that.
[00:58:04]  He has a window of time to let Congress.
[00:58:06]  And even then, people will argue that's unconstitutional.
[00:58:08]  You can see Donald Trump do it.
[00:58:09]  You can see Barack Obama.
[00:58:11]  Every single president has done something like this.
[00:58:12]  He has the ability to go out on domestic matters.
[00:58:16]  It's the opposite.
[00:58:17]  The president is more of a figurehead, to be clear.
[00:58:21]  It largely rests with the legislative.
[00:58:23]  On the domestic issues, he has to deal with mayors and sanctuary cities and governors not cooperating with ICE.
[00:58:30]  And governors also protecting illegal aliens.
[00:58:33]  Then it has, how many times have you seen something?
[00:58:35]  Go through the courts, local courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court.
[00:58:39]  There are all kinds of mechanisms to create gridlock.
[00:58:43]  What this proves is that when an administration is free to carry out an action unilaterally, it's far more effective.
[00:58:53]  Iran enrichment facilities, Venezuela, even what we are seeing right now, if you disagree with it.
[00:59:00]  Foreign policy, president has a lot of authority.
[00:59:04]  Domestic issues, unless you completely want to do away with states' rights, because you'd have to go in and basically destroy blue cities, which I'm not completely against, then you understand why this meme is silly and it's stupid.
[00:59:18]  It's like, well, this thing isn't perfect, so then we don't give credit for this thing.
[00:59:25]  So it does matter.
[00:59:27]  It does matter to be accurate.
[00:59:28]  Also, one final, when we're talking about this, the first day of operations in Iran cost about $779 million, right?
[00:59:34]  This was written up everywhere.
[00:59:37]  Sounds like a lot.
[00:59:38]  That's 0.09% of our total defense budget.
[00:59:42]  Wow.
[00:59:43]  To be clear.
[00:59:43]  So what that tells me is, hey, maybe our defense budget needs to be looked at because we could be doing stuff like this.
[00:59:51]  What's happening on a day-to-day basis?
[00:59:53]  In other words, we could spend a smaller percentage on a day-to-day basis at war in our defense budget than while we remain effectively idle.
[01:00:04]  So to act like that somehow has anything to do with mayors and governors in Minneapolis, Minnesota blocking presidential authority is to play into the hands of the left, along with saying that Donald Trump betrayed his base.
[01:00:19]  Along with saying that, well, only Israel would have an interest in Iran not having nukes or not being a global power.
[01:00:26]  It's disingenuous at best.
[01:00:29]  It's uninformed.
[01:00:31]  And it prevents us from having the legitimate conversation as to what kind of military intervention, if any, is appropriate.
[01:00:38]  But we shouldn't have this conversation based on lies and stupid memes that your grandma forwarded because she watched Tucker's newest episode and likes that he has spank.
[01:00:47]  This has been fucking Meme Check.
[01:01:07]  We just want to run the stinger one more time.
[01:01:09]  No, it's fair.
[01:01:09]  Yeah, you have to do it.
[01:01:10]  By the way, really quickly, so as we were talking about this, the rapid response account that we had a problem with for clipping the worst context portion of that speech actually put out another post with the actual best portion of it.
[01:01:22]  We don't have to play the clip, but basically in the text, they say, you know, basically, did you go, they asked the question, did you go for Israel and say Marco Rubio saying no, no, and then the rest of the answer.
[01:01:30]  And it's like, that's the first thing you put out.
[01:01:33]  Right.
[01:01:33]  Don't have to come back and fix this mistake.
[01:01:36]  But at least they did.
[01:01:37]  Yeah.
[01:01:37]  They gave, you know, it was a layup and they allowed it to take place.
[01:01:41]  And that brings us to people will be out there and they'll point out Israeli propaganda.
[01:01:45]  I get it.
[01:01:46]  Obviously that happens.
[01:01:47]  And by the way, all nations do it, just to be clear.
[01:01:50]  You don't think that two mommies and transitioning and sex change surgery in the United States military, you don't think that was propaganda from the Biden administration?
[01:01:58]  And you don't think it's propaganda to varying degrees when this administration re-titles it the Department of War and says we are going to be the strongest, fittest military?
[01:02:08]  It's propaganda.
[01:02:09]  It's about getting your country to believe in the agenda and the direction of your administration.
[01:02:15]  So all nations do it.
[01:02:17]  And I don't think we should be following Israel's lead as far as their propaganda on anything.
[01:02:21]  I don't think we should be sending them a bunch of money.
[01:02:23]  I don't think there should be a blank check.
[01:02:24]  I don't think we should be led into war if it's only in their interest.
[01:02:27]  Period.
[01:02:27]  I think we should be leading the dance in all facets, including trade, including AI, including militarily.
[01:02:36]  And by the way, I think we need to rethink our European alliances.
[01:02:39]  Spain now saying we're not going to let you use the bases that you have here.
[01:02:42]  Hope you siesta with one eye open, you stupid faggots.
[01:02:48]  Oh, think about that.
[01:02:49]  Spain.
[01:02:51]  I can't believe that the United States would do.
[01:02:53]  What?
[01:02:54]  You can't believe that we might not need your permission considering you haven't paid your contractually obligated bill for decades.
[01:03:00]  It's such a moral wrong for us to deal with the regime in Iran that you are going to prevent us from using bases that, by the way, have also helped maintain the existence of your indefensible country.
[01:03:14]  A country that did not help at all in a bunch of different conflicts last century.
[01:03:20]  Yeah.
[01:03:21]  Lucky to be in NATO in the first place.
[01:03:23]  Right.
[01:03:24]  Right.
[01:03:24]  So a lot of nations have vested interests.
[01:03:26]  Israel will put up.
[01:03:27]  Spain wants to put up propaganda that, you know, my God, they're a real country anymore.
[01:03:30]  Kind of like Canada.
[01:03:32]  But my primary concern is with a lot of propaganda coming from Iran right now.
[01:03:36]  And the reason why that's a primary concern is because I see people who claim to be America first parroting propaganda from Iran with no semblance of fact-checking or due diligence.
[01:03:46]  Here's just some of it.
[01:04:06]  Yeah.
[01:04:07]  It's like Mexican soap operas.
[01:04:24]  Look at how much water we have!
[01:04:28]  All the water!
[01:04:29]  Look, our trucks are camouflaged.
[01:04:31]  Well, you will never see us coming.
[01:04:36]  It's a banker.
[01:04:37]  Small people makes it look bigger.
[01:04:39]  Yeah, and here are some other examples.
[01:04:40]  Green camouflage in Iran.
[01:04:43]  And there's misinformation out there, so it's hard to know what's true.
[01:04:46]  My issue is with people who should know better, who know that it's hard to know what's true and simply want to be first or want to score pot shots against consistently the United States.
[01:04:57]  So here's one out there.
[01:04:59]  United States and Israel hit a school and they killed a bunch of kids, bunch of innocent children, the United States.
[01:05:05]  Clearly, without the whole picture, without all the information, this was immediately parodied by Gavin Newsom and Jeffrey Sachs and the like.
[01:05:12]  We have to reconcile why our bombs were used or Israeli bombs were used to kill children, young girls at a school, and what the imminent threat was.
[01:05:21]  They're killing schoolgirls.
[01:05:23]  No one even pauses.
[01:05:25]  150 schoolgirls bombed by Israel.
[01:05:28]  No one even mentions these things.
[01:05:32]  It's absolutely shocking, disgraceful, dangerous, bankrupting our country, and Trump lied.
[01:05:41]  And that was parodied by the Anna Jackson Henkley of Dev Smith, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
[01:05:44]  Okay.
[01:05:45]  Here's the thing.
[01:05:46]  I will tell you, I can't fact check it because at this point in time, it's still unclear as to whether the United States did that.
[01:05:54]  My issue is with people immediately assuming that the United States did that and implying that there was some nefarious motive, immediately and consistently painting the United States as the bad guys who target innocent children.
[01:06:12]  Someone does that.
[01:06:14]  Well, it doesn't sound like you're America first.
[01:06:16]  Keep in mind that many of the same people saying, well, here you go.
[01:06:19]  Here's your America first.
[01:06:20]  The United States military killing children were the same people who were offended at the idea that the Israeli military go to lengths to protect civilians.
[01:06:30]  I'm not saying the Jews are perfect.
[01:06:33]  What I'm saying is there's an inconsistency in your level of offense when you're effectively calling American troops baby killers.
[01:06:40]  Play the clip.
[01:06:40]  As an American, permit me a moment of outrage because I said many civilians have been killed.
[01:06:48]  And you said right in the middle of your elaborate defense of the IDF's killing of civilians, including children, you said they do a better job than the United States does.
[01:06:57]  That's my country and my government.
[01:06:58]  It's my country.
[01:07:00]  What flag am I wearing here?
[01:07:02]  Well, I'm asking, why is it?
[01:07:04]  What flag am I wearing?
[01:07:05]  Well, that's, of course, my flag as well.
[01:07:07]  And it's my flag.
[01:07:08]  It's who I serve.
[01:07:09]  So why the dig at the United States?
[01:07:11]  It's not a dig at Western.
[01:07:12]  No, no, no, no.
[01:07:13]  You've totally misrepresented that.
[01:07:14]  What did you mean by that?
[01:07:15]  I did not take a dig at the U.S. What I'm saying is.
[01:07:18]  You said the IDF is more humane than the U.S.
[01:07:20]  And by the way, I probably agree with Tucker Carlson on more things in that interview than Governor Mike Huckabee, to be clear.
[01:07:28]  But if you're going to be offended at that and say, I can't believe that you would imply the United States isn't as humane as Israel, do you have the same level of offense for people who immediately go, United States baby killers?
[01:07:42]  Because you know who doesn't think that we're baby killers?
[01:07:45]  The Iranian people all across the globe.
[01:07:49]  All across the globe.
[01:07:50]  Not saying that we should go to war for the Iranian people.
[01:07:52]  That's not what I'm saying.
[01:07:53]  But what I am saying is the Iranian people probably would have the strongest motivation to say, hey, the United States, you're the bad guys.
[01:08:02]  You're killing innocent children.
[01:08:04]  Instead, they're dancing in the streets.
[01:08:06]  So I ask you, why are commentators and influencers who accuse anyone of disagreeing with them, the people who call for the impeachment of Donald Trump, the people who say stay home during the midterms, why are they always immediately saying United States military are baby killers and they're doing it on purpose?
[01:08:20]  So I can't tell you if we did do this.
[01:08:22]  I would be willing to bet if it did happen that it obviously wasn't targeted.
[01:08:26]  And I would direct you to, again, what was a fantastic press conference from Barco Rubio.
[01:08:31]  This is how one should approach the fog of war.
[01:08:46]  Yeah, I've seen those reports.
[01:08:47]  I don't have, I would refer you, not because I'm not trying to answer your question, but I don't want to get it wrong.
[01:08:51]  The Department of War would be investigating that if that was our strike.
[01:08:55]  And I would refer your question to them.
[01:08:57]  And I'll make sure they're aware that you have that question.
[01:08:59]  But we'd like to know.
[01:09:02]  Well, clearly, the United States would not deliberately target a school.
[01:09:05]  Our objectives are missiles.
[01:09:07]  Both the ability to manufacture and the one-way attract drones.
[01:09:11]  That would be our focus.
[01:09:12]  And that's what we would be focused on.
[01:09:13]  We would have no interest and, frankly, no incentive to target civilian infrastructure.
[01:09:19]  The Iranians are, on the other hand, targeting civilian infrastructure.
[01:09:22]  You guys have seen it.
[01:09:22]  I'm sure you've seen it.
[01:09:23]  They're hitting hotels.
[01:09:24]  They're hitting embassies.
[01:09:26]  They're hitting airports.
[01:09:27]  They're hitting oil infrastructure.
[01:09:31]  Well, it'd be very tragic, but I can't speak to the details behind it because I just don't have it.
[01:09:36]  I think that's a good way to handle it.
[01:09:38]  There you go.
[01:09:38]  By the way, I could present to you the other, which would also be propaganda because some people are parroting this and they haven't done their due diligence either.
[01:09:45]  There was an unverified telegram stating that Iran knew they struck their own school by accident and used it or on purpose, used it for propaganda.
[01:09:53]  That cannot be confirmed.
[01:09:56]  So I can tell you that neither one is confirmed.
[01:09:58]  I can also provide some context.
[01:10:00]  The Iran Revolutionary Guard facility is located right next to a school.
[01:10:03]  I can also provide you some context.
[01:10:05]  The same people who immediately jump and accuse this administration and accuse American troops of being baby killers are the same people who blamed, for example, the IDF for that Al-Ali hospital.
[01:10:16]  Remember that explosion?
[01:10:18]  It was caused by Islamic jihadists, and they didn't retract it.
[01:10:24]  Let me be really simple with this.
[01:10:26]  If there is collateral damage, and there always will be in war, on the opposing side of the United States, with incomplete information as an America first person, I tend to believe that the United States is more likely to be the good guys than Iran.
[01:10:44]  That's my default position.
[01:10:46]  Why is yours the opposite?
[01:10:48]  That's my question.
[01:10:50]  Why is yours that the United States military are the bad guys who are targeting children?
[01:10:55]  And how can you logically justify your position in comparison, not in a vacuum, to Iran and the Ayatollah Satan rape his soul?
[01:11:07]  Here's another one.
[01:11:09]  Facts are still coming out, but there are people who parroted this.
[01:11:12]  Why would people so quickly want to parrot a loss?
[01:11:15]  The United States.
[01:11:16]  Spoil alert, not true.
[01:11:17]  Iran struck the USS Abraham Lincoln.
[01:11:21]  You know who got in on this action?

=== Facts vs. Propaganda (02:04) ===

[01:11:23]  You're in good company.
[01:11:24]  Chinese state media with their propaganda.
[01:11:32]  Oh, they got incredible footage of this.
[01:11:56]  Whoa.
[01:11:58]  Oh, he split it in half.
[01:11:59]  I guess they had a documentary filmmaker there.
[01:12:02]  And it was parroted by Al Jazeera, Russia Today, a bunch of other places.
[01:12:05]  And of course, the Black Bill, the dissident right.
[01:12:08]  Here's the truth.
[01:12:09]  The Lincoln was not hit.
[01:12:10]  The missiles launched didn't even come close.
[01:12:11]  That's what we know right now.
[01:12:12]  The Lincoln continues to.
[01:12:14]  This comes to us, by the way, from CENTCOM.
[01:12:16]  The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM's relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.
[01:12:22]  it wasn't true the issue is that was parroted by now why would people the same people who jump to accuse the united states military of being baby killers and donald trump of betraying their base Same people, by the way, saying that this is an illegal war, also be really, really quick to jump the gun and say, look, the Lincoln was hit.
[01:12:44]  Iran is effective.
[01:12:48]  You're starting to put it together?
[01:12:49]  By the way, I know I've gone over time.
