Oscars so Gay: The Hollywood 'Elites' are Absolutely Cooked

D-Day critiques the Oscars as an "incredibly gay" event, citing Conan O'Brien's false pedophile jokes and Javier Bardem's Gaza ceasefire pen while accusing media elites of silencing conservatives like Marjorie Taylor Green. He asserts Iran is shrinking with its new Ayatollah hiding in Russia, contrasting this against reports of a widening war, and refutes John Oliver's claims on JD Vance's racism and immigration policies using welfare statistics. Ultimately, the episode argues that Hollywood and mainstream media are losing credibility by promoting defeatism and hypocrisy while ignoring American interests and family stability.

And any America first, America first, Welcome to the lineup.
Live here on Rumble weekdays.
You don't need to change that down.
It's 11 a.m. Eastern, so we're here like we always are.
Was a busy weekend.
The Oscars happened.
Did you know that?
Come on, I know.
And I isn't it crazy that for about four or five years, we did a live Oscars stream.
I mean, every year.
And we were routinely banned while we were streaming because ABC didn't like that.
And now no one really cares.
It's sort of an afterthought.
That should tell you the monumental, the tectonic shift that has taken place in the media and entertainment landscape.
So we'll talk about that.
The Oscars Streaming Ban 00:03:01
Of course, some awful moments, but they scream into the void now.
Leftist Hollywood elites have far less influence.
Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, really did a good job of correcting the media.
He did his own fact check, so we're fact checking his fact check and fact check true.
Spoiler alert.
Also, John Oliver, he was out for a while.
Now he's back and he does his, you know, his heavy workload of once a week, having his producers grab some things from Salon and Slate.
And this time it was on JD Vance.
It was on JD Vance and everything wrong with JD Vance.
So we are going to do our latest installment of John Oliver is a.
So hopefully I bleeped the right one, but I don't know.
This is a cough button.
But I often bleep the wrong word and I just say the whole thing and you hear the offensive word.
But yeah, there's nothing I can do about that.
On with the show.
So what up, fam?
It's your boy D-Day, just hanging at the Izzy, living in luxury.
And today, I'm going to let y'all in on my secrets to success so you can live it up like me.
You feel me?
I'm going to show you how to glow up without a blow-up so you can cop a crib like me.
Daryl, this is my house.
You didn't pay for this.
I did.
Dad, you're interrupting my video.
I'm going to have to restart now.
And stop calling me Daryl.
I told you, it's D-Day now.
D-Day.
I'll stop calling you Daryl when you start on the D-ish.
How about that, Daryl?
On God, fam.
On God.
He don't even know.
He didn't even know what I'm finna do.
Do your followers know you sleep in a pump bed?
I told you I'm saving up for the king bed.
I swear to God, man, on everything.
I can't wait to move out.
And you can.
You just have to call American Financing like I told you to.
And you're going to have to call an ambulance when I pop a cap in your ass.
I didn't do nothing.
I'm sorry.
Call the pros at American Financing Today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit www.americanfinancing.net slash crowder.
NMLS 1-82-334.
If you start today, you may even delay up to two mortgage payments.
Oh, I forgot to ask you, actually.
Have you seen any of the movies that were nominated for the significant Oscars this year?
Gold and Colonialism 00:15:19
Yeah.
Yes.
Art no.
I saw one battle after another.
Yeah, okay.
That's what I saw.
It was fine.
I didn't love it.
I didn't love it, but it was well done and it kind of made fun of commies too.
Like they seemed sort of inept.
They were inept, but yeah, whatever.
That's it.
I'm trying to think of what else I had seen.
I don't know.
My favorite part of the Oscars is the in-memoriam, though.
Yes.
That always brings a smile to my face.
Well, I didn't mean that in a fun way.
I just mean like it is a warm.
Let me quote you to you.
My favorite part of the Oscars is the in-memorium.
Not that they died.
I just, I like to appreciate someone's death, you know, life.
You know, you look back on them and it's a heartfelt moment.
And then the rest of the Oscars is just a bunch of self-serving, self-righteous assholes.
You're banned from my funeral.
You're not allowed to go.
You're the kind of guy to go up.
Let us not remember how he died, but how he lived.
Let us not remember that he hung himself in a Holiday in Express for like Windsor Not.
You don't want me there doing that?
Covered in the continental breakfast cereal rolls.
Crumbs down his glistening chest.
He died how he lived, eating powdered eggs.
Yes.
Texas shaped waffles.
And lively bitching about the customer service.
Ah, he loved bitching about customer service.
But as he lived, well, they're quite similar.
So I just really like this part.
I guess kill himself that way, though.
The ball gag wasn't in the cell.
Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
Doing fine.
How are you?
Good.
Good.
You were pretty good there at the shooting range when we went last year.
Thank you.
Coming along nicely.
You hit it 400 yards, didn't you?
With the red dot.
The dot like cover.
It wasn't a magnifying.
Yeah, that was just, it was like one time.
Yeah, I got nowhere close.
There's a lot of people.
It was just sliding.
I just closed my eyes and went, bing, yeah, there you go.
Every time, and I stopped because you don't want to do it again and show that you can't do it.
And then obviously, you know him, you love him Friday, Saturday, March 20th, 21st at Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
You know, Gotham was based off of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
That's true.
That's true.
The crown jewel of Indiana, they refer to it.
They do call it that.
Yeah.
Yes.
The Paris of the Trolls.
They call it that because everyone's drinking Crown Royal.
Everyone's a little drunk.
Yeah.
A crown apple in their trunk.
Yeah, they're drinking a Canadian beverage because of American Pride.
But go, go.
Because if you're there in Indiana, you know, like, come on.
Yeah, come on.
What else?
Go see what?
The Dillander Escape Museum, the Christmas Story House, or go see live comedy.
Speaking of entertainment, Joy Reed, don't say Demolition Man.
She's not.
I always feel like she's Demolition Man in the wrong timeline.
Yes.
Like, she's like, there's Demolition Man.
She's like time.
So she identifies, see, the cuff button came handy.
Joy Reed identified the new, thank goodness, superpower of the world.
If there is a real Wakanda, it's the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It has every mineral that you need to make.
iPhones, your cell phones.
The cobalt.
It has every mineral.
It's everything.
It has every mineral in the greatest abundance on the entire planet.
It should be the richest nation.
There's no way to get it.
And instead, it's just completely exploited because of Europe and the West.
And these companies like Apple and all these other bars around the world, they just view it as a place to plunder, like they've always viewed the continent.
The continent is just a place to plunder.
They don't respect the people there, the government's there.
That's why I respect the governments like Mali and Burkina Faso, the ones who are killing the f ⁇ ed off.
Like, that's what I need Africa to do.
Yeah, well, she would know her father is from said Congo there too.
And their family has a long story history of protecting it.
Yes.
God, wear pants.
By the way, just while she mentions these places, she mentions Mali.
That place, just to be clear, being gay is like a criminal offense.
They use children, right?
This is the kind of place we've seen where they recruit children for armed conflicts.
And in January 2026, Al-Qaeda kidnapped and slit the throat of 10 truck drivers.
You're seeing a lot of Islamic encroachment.
Nice place.
They always want to blame Africa, never on Africa, but on like colonialism.
A very clear example would be, hey, how about AIDS?
How about the fact that you had missionaries go in and then actual American government programs hand out condoms, of course, which was always incredibly ineffective, but tell them how to not transmit AIDS, yet they still decided to rape virgin children to try and get rid of their AIDS.
How do you blame that on the United States?
Why does almost all of Africa still look like Africa?
By the way, Africa had gold, all kinds of mines that were valuable before.
They just didn't have the tools to get them.
Exactly.
I was about to say, like, yeah, before the colonial powers arrived, they were just nailing it.
Yeah.
Oh, they weren't.
Yeah.
They were tribesmen trying not to die.
The cradle of civilization that remained at the same state as they were when they were the cradle of civilization.
Except for that Egypt place.
They had pyramids, but that was the alien help.
So I don't.
I think the aliens did help with the pyramids.
Finally, you're getting on board, Jerry.
Yeah, they mimic the stars.
There's no other way.
They're power plants, Stephen.
Yes.
Also, the reason we haven't transitioned to nuclear power is because of aliens.
Have you heard this?
No.
This is another conspiracy right now.
And I?
That's all it is.
No, there's nothing else.
They're like, the reason we haven't gone to nuclear and something about Area 51 and is because aliens don't want us to.
But how do we know that?
I mean, we don't.
No, I mean, we don't.
You just see it on Instagram and assume it's true.
You didn't read the crop circles.
They put it there right for us, Gerald.
That's what I was looking for.
You're not reading with your eyes.
Yeah.
Ah.
Okay.
It's like a.
It's not.
Yeah.
The crop circles are like a warning label, but for our planet.
You have an electric power.
Yeah, exactly.
Where aliens are like, don't let them do it.
So the aliens are like the old version of just stop oil.
Pretty much.
They're code paper aliens.
They're going to come glue their hands to the pyramids.
Yes.
That's what Stop Oil does.
But the truth be told, the Democratic Republic of Congo would be a superpower.
and we have to keep our eye on him thanks to powerful women like this oh shoot It's all.
She drew a line.
She just dolled her blade.
I don't.
And what's weird is that they all act like it's David Blaine who just pulled a magic trick.
I know, right?
Like, I am her!
She dragged it across the floor.
Places like that are always like the streets and the sidewalks and stuff.
They're always like half wet.
Yes.
Like half super wet and half super dry.
Right.
What is that liquid?
That's a good point.
I don't know.
I don't know either.
By the way, this is something that they do.
Is this in Zimbabwe?
Mozambique.
Mozambique.
Sorry, Zimbabweans that I've offended.
Well, it doesn't mean anything if you laugh it off, Jerry.
Yeah, I think you got the point.
I don't really mean it.
Wow.
That's a second in person.
Just pull it up.
Pull it up.
I want to be able to read it.
Bald men are being hunted down in Mozambique because they think they have gold in their heads, and that's why they're...
Can we bring up a picture of the hunter?
It's just one of the Alaskan gold show guys.
They are the next world superpower.
Oh, my God.
Democrats are going to win power.
Going to bring back USAID just so we could send wigs to Africa.
Yeah, you must protect the bold son.
Blame that one on colonialism.
Like, at a certain point, some guy decides to use a head blade, and now he has to play the most dangerous game for the rest of his life.
He wants to be like Mike, not anymore.
It's just.
Poor son of a bitch.
No, it's Propetia.
Wearing a bull's jersey and everything.
He's got fingers.
That stinks.
How many people did they kill before they're like, yeah, this is gold?
It would seem like you made that mistake once.
Just like you saw it.
Uh-oh.
I guess we were wrong.
Actually, you know what?
I feel like we might be dumb here because obviously they're getting this from somewhere whose head had gold in it.
Yeah, exactly.
They must have found the gold.
Right.
According to the article, so far, five.
Six.
So far, five, they found gold in their head.
No, no, no.
They've killed five looking for gold.
Oh, that's six.
Because one out of six people have gold in their gold head.
So however.
And then when it's not six, it'll be one out of seven.
That's good.
Those are good odds, how much gold we've done.
You know what?
And maybe in Mud Club, someone can explain to us their logic.
They can't.
Some kind of messed up Indiana Jones movie where it's like golden skulls, but you have to kill the body first.
It's all a poy by Big Wig.
Yes, exactly.
Somebody out there with a Frank Luntz wig, like, oh no, that guy has platinum in his ears.
No, this is a beef that went wrong.
Some bald guy pissed off some other guy.
He's like, listen, guys, here's what we're going to do.
Oh, my gosh.
It's just so funny and just such an awful place.
Oh, yeah.
And by awful place, I mean the entire continent of Africa.
However bad you think it is in the United States.
At least you are not being hunted so that they open your skull because they think you have gold in it.
But that's because of the West.
Yes, Steve.
It's a white guy who went there and said, hey, you see that bald guy over there?
Yes.
It's got gold in there.
Oh my God, what do you think they would do with Joy Reed if she showed up with her blue?
We know it!
You saw my gold, it's sprouting out!
You're Paul!
Gold doesn't grow on trees, it grows out of your head and in the ground.
Same saying like a gold chia pet.
Oh my god.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Sorry, guys.
That is just so funny.
Whereas here, here you have different concerns.
Like there, you're like, I hope no one cuts open my head today to try and find gold.
Here, you're like, I don't know about my, you know, taxes.
Okay, tax season, financing, which, by the way, Americanfinancing.net slash crowder.
You can call 1-800-974-6500.
NMLS 182-334.
I have to say, they've saved a lot of money for a lot of people, including people right here.
If you're looking to finance a house, refinance, whatever it is that you're looking to do, at least you're not being hunted for your head gold.
Sell them to support us doing this.
It's already.
Now you know why all those losing World Series teams' hats get sent to Africa.
It's just save the bald cutters.
There's some guy with like a Mavericks World Champions 2024 shirt.
Like, what?
They didn't win.
You may want to rethink naming the Golden Dome.
Yeah.
Oh, geez.
So now it's Notre Dame's fault.
Okay.
It's just they have to blame colonialism because no one wants to admit in these nations, they're so backwards and inbred that people are so stupid.
Yes.
People are so stupid.
They're like, well, what do you mean?
They're cutting people's heads open.
They've already gone through five with no gold, and they still think.
It's like we're supposed to act like all cultures are equal.
I mean, there's no scientific method in this country.
You test the hypothesis once.
Look, maybe you perform a lobotomy on one more, like two.
We call that the grace lobotomy.
We're like, maybe it's a flip.
It's the measure twice.
There's an outlier once.
But after two, you're like, oh, I think I forgot to carry the one, whatever it is.
It's just such a silly place.
But these are the places that the leftists.
What are they taking a brain and putting it through a sifter?
This is a prospector.
You have to squish it.
It comes out as a liquid.
I just got a new idea for a sponsor sketch.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
True Gold Republic.
You guys ready for this?
Here we go.
I can just picture an executive at True Gold Republic with poor mid just pausing it.
Who signed off on that?
Anybody want to take it, man?
Anybody?
Pause and mid-screen.
No!
Pause.
Anyone want to take a crack at this?
This is how we're after.
Meanwhile, Gerald's in blackface.
Blackhead.
He's in blackhead.
All right.
If you're hoping it, we'll get to exit in some other, but it's not going to get any more.
Seriously toned because last night you forgot, like everyone, it was the Oscars, and they were incredibly gay.
Just gay.
It's time for entertainment minute.
All right.
How many did we end up with?
Top five, or did we end up?
I think we ended up with a bonus six.
So five worst moments from the Oscars.
By the way, if you're watching this as a clip, 11 a.m. Eastern.
That's when we stream every day.
We still do it live.
We chat with you.
You can check the references too.
Every show we give you a bibliography.
Here's the first moment that we watch, so you don't have to.
Conan O'Brien's really cringy, and we're going to fact check it because just take their premise.
Here's the problem with comedy now.
Take the premise of a leftist.
And the reason the joke isn't funny is because the premise is not rooted in any kernel of truth.
Here's Conan O'Brien joking about pedophiles, something with the Brits.
He's wrong on all counts.
It's the first time since 2012, first time since 2012, that there are no British actors nominated for best actor or best actress.
Yeah.
British spokesperson said, yeah, well, at least we arrest our pedophiles.
So we got that going forward.
Yeah, except they don't.
Whoops.
They don't.
I mean, we're not even going to get into the grooming gangs that the British government helped cover up.
But Prince Andrew, in case you guys forgot, he was arrested for like mishandling confidential documents, not the actual pedophile sort of activities that he or sexual assaults that he'd been carrying out.
So they don't.
They're actually far worse than us.
The Muslim grooming gangs, which were protected by the government because they didn't want people to be discriminatory, like it's actually the opposite of the truth.
Also, zero credible evidence whatsoever of President Trump's involvement with Epstein, with anything untoward outside of cooperating with authorities and kicking him out of Mar-a-Lago.
Doesn't matter if someone made some random accusation.
I know you have people on the dissident horseshoe right who want to say there's something there.
There's not.
You can check the references.
They're just allying with the left.
Number two, Jimmy Kimmel is going to Jimmy Kimmel.
And just think of the entitlement.
Free Speech Violations 00:15:15
He's complaining about CBS canceling Colbert.
And so this is what the left does.
They don't understand the First Amendment because they don't actually believe in it.
So they conflate it with their sense of entitlement.
Here you go.
Are you exhausted?
Am I exhausted?
You've got to see me looking in my face.
Yes, I'm exhausted.
Of course.
It's ridiculous.
We live in a ridiculous country.
We always lived as a country.
It's a post-of-ridiculous in a fun Mr. T kind of way.
Now we've got a different Mr. T. As you know, there are some countries whose leaders don't support free speech.
I'm not at liberty to say which.
Let's just leave it at North Korea and CBS.
Fortunately, CBS is a government leader.
Fortunately for all of us, there is an international community of filmmakers dedicated to telling the truth.
Yes, fortunately for the world.
Thank God, because under the oppression of North Korea and CBS, you guys are going to shoot us straight.
You know, you guys who advocated for lockdowns, you guys who advocated for deplatforming anyone who disagreed with you, you guys who advocated for doctors treating patients during COVID, saying there might be natural immunity that they should be banned.
You guys.
Also, just think about this.
They don't defend freedom of speech at the end.
Where were they with January 6th?
Colbert, like, you talk about CBS.
Not only is it not the town square, it's not even the digital town square.
It's not a platform like X or Facebook or YouTube.
It's a network that pays him millions of dollars.
To make the argument that there is a free speech infringement on Colbert, you would have to ignore the fact that he only has 219,000 viewers in the demo, down from 800,000 the peak in 2017, which is still awful.
And he loses the network $40 to $50 million a year.
So let me ask you, at what point is it just terminating employment because you're losing the company money?
You need to address that if you're going to say this is clearly just about speech.
They didn't have a problem with his speech.
Do we want to say that what's changed is Colbert went from being moderate to being far left, my right, your left?
Or is the change that nobody wants to watch him, that he's losing them money.
Whenever the left tries to convince you that they are pro-free speech or that they are a Christian butt or that they are pro-Second Amendment, but you know that they are lying to you.
Same if they say something is unconstitutional.
These people supported the banning of folks like you.
Number three.
Oh, sorry, if it was about controlling his speech, they wouldn't have given him a year and a half.
Exactly.
It's like, hey, after these quarters, after we've already projected losing this money for the next year and a half, we are done losing money.
Right.
That's a violation of free speech.
If you're losing just $40 to $50 million a year, you get less than a tenth of the viewership that Letterman would get in his peak.
I get a changing media landscape, but the fact is, you're costing us like $50 million a year.
We're going to give you one year warning to get your affairs in order, plus a very generous severance package, I have no doubt.
And, you know, then we're probably going to run something that hopefully will be profitable for us.
That's when the left decides to put themselves at the front lines in harm's way for freedom of speech.
Not when millions of you were being banned and removed for opinions that were shared by half the country.
Moment number three, because I guess we're still doing this crap.
K-pop Demon Hunters won best animated feature.
So that matters.
Animated feature.
Yes.
Means cartoon, animated.
And the director, Maggie Kang, decided to use this as a moment to bitch about or be grateful that now they finally have representation.
It's 2026.
This is still going on.
Thank you to the Academy and to all the fans who got us here.
And for those of you who look like me, I'm so sorry that it took us so long to see us in a movie like this.
And it's here.
And that means that the next generations don't have to go longing.
This is for Korea and for Koreans everywhere.
Which Korea?
Also, we didn't see you.
Yeah, it's a cartoon.
We didn't see anybody.
And you're the director, right?
Oops.
None of this makes sense.
Here's another fast fact for you.
Parasite won best picture in 2020.
Yoon Yoo-young, if I'm saying that right, one best supporting actress for Minari in 2021.
And Maggie Kang is married to a white dude.
She could have just a very white dude by all.
Looks like D-Day's dad.
Like a skater.
The truth is, instead of going on about representation, because this is what we have to do now, everyone, they've lost their victim status, so they have to make one up.
And now it's so obvious.
The good news is it's ineffectual.
She really could have just cut her speech short.
And for those of you who look like me, I am so sorry.
You have to create some kind of glass ceiling.
It's like when Jennifer Lawrence came out after Hunger Games and she was like, you know, it's just great to be the first female lead in an action movie.
And people are like, what?
What?
It's not even remotely.
What?
No.
You have decades of leading ladies before you.
Yeah.
It's just, let's bring us to number four.
This is also why I try to avoid the infighting drama on the right with right-wing podcast bros all going like, I'll sit down for a debate, but I'm not going to keep doing the pot shots like people do.
Because the left does that.
The New Yorker decided to stir up some drama with Timothy Chalamé.
They put this tweet out throwing shade at him saying, Misty Copeland comes out of retirement to put Timothy Chalamé in his place during a live thinner's performance at the Oscars.
Who is Misty Copeland?
I guess a ballet dancer or opera or something because the tweet was supposedly a clapback toward these comments that Chalamé made regarding ballet and opera with the functionally retarded Matthew McConney.
Remember when a bunch of right-wing people tried to tell you he'd be a good governor?
Yeah, that retarded one.
I'm really right in the middle, Matthew, because I admire people when I've done it myself to go on a talk to go, hey, we got to keep movie theaters alive.
You know, we got to keep this genre alive.
And another part of me feels like if people want to see it like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they're going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it.
And I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or things where it's like, hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.
All respect to the ballet and opera people out there.
I just lost 14 cents in viewership.
Damn, I just took shots for no reason.
That's not a shot.
I hear what you're saying.
Bring out the ballet dancers.
That'll show him.
Nobody does care about that.
That's such a small part of the American audience.
Come on.
Like, fine.
Everything has to be a thing.
Oh, then sorry for the first time, but Korean directors like me who are not seen on camera can make this animated feature that people, like, people just liked the movie.
Just shut up.
This is a thing.
It's just, now I know that's funny to watch this with the Oscars, but take these people, put them in positions of power, and that's what you get in academia.
That's what you had with the Biden administration, right?
They share the same exact views as the modern Democrat Party.
Number five.
Of course, you knew this was going to happen because these people didn't get the memo.
Something, something Gaza, free, Palestine, and Javier Bardem.
Tell me about your pen you're wearing and why it was important to wear it tonight.
It's an artist for ceasefire pen, and what we are demanding is a ceasefire in Gaza.
And I think that I am supposed to have a platform, and this is the least I can do to use it.
And like, sometimes the news cycle is so fast and people move on, but the people in Gaza.
We made these pins a month ago.
This pin is a collaboration with an artist called Shepherd's Fairy.
It's an artist for a ceasefire, and we're demanding a permanent ceasefire.
Steve Cross right now.
There are bombings happening basically.
Destruction, displacements all over the world, you know, in Palestine, in Lebanon, and Aran, in Venezuela.
The next person's going to say, tear down that list.
This is happening in the U.S. Ice.
Ice as well, yes.
Ice as well.
This is a demand for a permanent ceasefire.
Not to war.
Not war.
A lot of politics talk tonight on the stage.
We did have Javier Bardem.
We know you're outspoken.
What was your reaction to hearing Javier call out for Palestine?
It was absolute pride and gratitude, obviously.
He is so outspoken and always has been.
And I really appreciate his voice in a room like that where literally no one else sends me.
Nice.
Yes, literally no one else.
Nobody.
This is what they do.
This is just, I'm so glad that you guys see the facade.
They act as though there's some form of oppression.
She was also thanking him.
Right.
As if she's Palestine.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Or she has anything to do with it at all.
What do you think would happen?
Okay, let me just put this in context.
This was done, I believe, at the Dolby Theater.
What do you think would happen if they just did this at a theater in Palestine?
How long before a barrage, just a hailstorm of missiles, of rockets just landed right on them to get rid of every single LGBTQ degenerate?
Like, how long do you think a group of them Palestine would last.
They would be shocked at the layup.
They'd be like, they're really going to come here and let us kill all of them?
You don't want to free Palestine, trust me.
Like, it's just.
Think about it.
Joy Reid earlier praising Mali, where they execute gay people, where they kill child soldiers, and them talking about wherever you line up.
And this is also, I have a problem with people who just go, no, no war.
Well, sure, no useless war, no endless war.
Well, yeah, but not all wars are endless.
The left, they're the ones who are the systems go, no war.
They're upset about Venezuela.
You think the Venezuelan people are?
We'll talk about Cuba, if not today.
It's developing.
We'll talk about them tomorrow.
Their baseball team is playing in the semifinals, Venezuela.
Good for them.
Seem pretty happy.
I don't know anything about baseball, but hey, good.
They're glad about it.
The people of Iran are glad about it.
The people of Cuba are now asking for it.
Doesn't mean that it's our job.
We only do it if it's in our interests.
But these people consistently side with the regimes who oppress their own people.
That's what you need to understand.
With a simplistic view, like no war, what that means is regimes should be allowed to destroy and kill their own people.
Same thing for Vietnam.
I agree with you that Vietnam was a very, very poorly executed war.
It became a quagmire.
But there is no doubt about communist Vietnamese killing their own people, torturing, like that's the reason that there was a conflict.
You guys do have to acknowledge that, right?
Here's a bonus because this guy's really gay.
Director David Bornstein, who I'm sure would fare fantastically in Palestine, compared Putin's Russia to President Trump's America.
Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country.
And what we saw when working with this footage, it's that you lose it through countless small little acts of complicity.
When we act complicit, when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything, when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it.
Aren't the oligarchs in that room?
We all face a moral choice.
But luckily, even a nobody is more powerful than you think.
Yeah, but not if you had your way.
Banned.
Deplatformed for saying, you know what, kids don't need the COVID vaccine.
Remember, that was a ban.
All major conservatives who thought there might be election interference, banned.
Anyone who said that you cannot actually change your gender for a long time, suspended, banned.
There was a department of misinformation under the Biden administration.
The Hunter Biden laptop story, banned.
People censored.
So you think that the issue is, oh, people are not free to speak as you speak.
What they're really mad about is decreased viewership.
They think if people are given more options, like you right now watching on Rumble, by the way, download the Rumble app.
That's the best way to stay in touch.
You can actually, you get notifications when we're live.
They think that is a problem because they see decreased viewership on their dinosaur networks and then they go, oh, fewer people watching.
That must mean that we're being silenced.
He also went into more retarded depth on this backstage.
It seemed like you were making a parallel in your acceptance speech with what might be happening in America.
Do you see parallels or are we reading too much into it?
Well, one interesting thing about working with a team of Russians throughout this process has been my desire as an American to constantly compare the situation in America to Russia.
But a lot of my Russian colleagues and friends always said no.
No, it's not the same situation.
It's actually happening quicker in America.
Oh, it's not happening in Russia.
Trump was moving a lot quicker than Putin moved in his early years.
So that's kind of all I have to say to that.
Yeah, okay.
Well, here's the thing: if you made that movie in Russia, you would never see the light of day again.
You'd be arrested.
During his first year in office, Putin had his biggest media opponent arrested.
Oh, come on.
Hey, where are you guys speaking about Brazil?
Our friend Paulo Figueiredo, right, has to be in exile.
Bolsonaro's son.
I always forget the name of Alan.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Alan DeSantis.
Arrested, right?
Jail.
There are regimes right now that arrest people, that arrest.
Hey, Canada.
Where are you during Canada when people have their bank accounts frozen?
Actual acts of fascism.
Well, maybe they're talking about maybe his biggest media opponent is Don Lemon being arrested for not for free speech, not for intimidating kids at a church.
Right.
Can you guys give us any example?
We can point you to examples of plenty of conservatives.
We just have myself.
You can look at the Twitter files.
You can look at the Gizmodo article where it was leaked.
You can look at demonetization.
You can look at the Vox apocalypse.
You can look at the Hunter Biden laptop story.
You look at those doctors during COVID in, I believe it was Orange County, California, banned, removed, saying that I believe they were talking about Iver Mecton as potential treatments.
You can look at Brett Weinstein.
Any examples that you guys have?
Any.
Even with Don Lemon, his videos weren't even taken down.
They weren't removed from social media.
He just may be charged with actually disrupting a private place of worship.
Anyone, any examples?
Because I just gave you about 10.
The silver lining is they're going to be increasingly detached from reality and people will be able to see it on full display.
The bad news is fewer people will see it because no one tunes into their crap anymore.
Strait of Hormuz Operation 00:15:38
Well, that's also kind of good news, I guess.
It's kind of good news, but they don't do it.
I think they're really just pissed off because they don't have a monopoly on information anymore.
Exactly right.
They used to have it.
They're pissed off that people bought into the game to make sure that we preserved free speech and expression.
Right.
The thing that they're saying they should have.
Yeah, well, we've been the defenders of it, you morons.
Well, oh, by the way, someone be watching Marjorie Taylor Green right now.
She's on CNN.
She's a lover scorned.
She is everything that people talk about with covert, you know, femcons on the right, where now she's like, Donald Trump doesn't buy his own groceries.
Thomas Massey does.
He's at a Kroger.
Jewish space fighters.
All right.
She's an idiot.
She's always been an idiot, but when she was in, I was like, okay, you know, if she has to get some votes through, I'm just not going to talk about it.
She's a moron and she makes everything now personal.
She could use Instacart too.
It's for everybody.
Yeah, it's true.
But it's like, well, you think the president of the United States should be going to Kroger doing groceries?
He knows the price of eggs.
My gosh.
All right.
No, his wife should.
But when I say, and I've been saying this for a long time, sorry.
It's just a little misogynist joke.
Sorry, it's good.
It's good.
The media, entertainment, big tech industrial complex.
It's all the same thing when you talk about the Oscars and when you talk about media, when you talk about news.
That's why they really, really hate Pete Hegseth.
Because not only during a time of war right now do we have to fight or a time of military operation do we have to fight a foreign enemy who wants to kill all of us.
You have to fight a press who actually wants to carry the water for an Islamic fascist regime.
So two weeks into what's going on in Iran, and people are absolutely turning on President Trump, the American people.
Sorry, not the polls.
Even Adam Etton talked about it today, but at least if you believe the media, people are turning.
I'm disappointed because for one, to have Tropic Thunder and football highlights on a video about war is one of the more insensitive things that I've ever seen.
It isn't.
There are families here in our country whose loved ones have decided to give their life to fight for our rights and our freedoms who don't see war as a sport.
War doesn't deserve a highlight film.
For Tropic Thunder to be a part of it, war is not a comedy.
And for these people to be risking their lives not for our safety as much as for someone else's agenda.
That's not what the soldiers think.
That's what the regime is.
They're not upset about it.
It's not as serious, as unprofessional, as laughable, and as illegitimate as our leadership is right now, is embarrassing.
What's embarrassing is that you clearly referenced to thesaurus before that.
All the headlines have been negative.
And, you know, the polls, by the way, it's about 51, I think, as far as the American public, much higher with those in the military.
Meaning right now, wherever you line up on this, and I think there's a legitimate discussion to be had.
And like I said before, let's come back to this in three months.
I'm okay with it being a swift military operation and then whatever we need to do to sort of scale back.
As you know, operations were historically in recent America up until George Bush Sr.
Like they haven't always been forever wars.
If anything, seeing Venezuela and the first action in, I was about to say Cuba, in Iran, and seeing what may happen with Cuba shows you that, oh, wait, this is how it should be done.
And maybe have a little bit of trust that it's not going to be a forever war.
But right now, if you were to grab people on military bases across the globe, go, okay, what do you think?
We have a chance to take out the leaders of Iran and the RGC, yes or no?
Over 70% would say, I'd rather go than stay.
So you may disagree with those in uniform, but don't say they're dying for nothing because that's what bothers them.
Not people saying, hey, a crazy regime needs to be taken out.
But the entire amount of, what were we about to say?
I was about to say, so he's a sports guy.
He thinks there should be highlight reels for athletes who are putting nothing but their bodies on the line and maybe getting a little bit dinged up, as opposed to people going and fighting for your freedoms.
Right.
We shouldn't celebrate and highlight what they're doing, but a guy catching a pass in the end zone, that's fine.
Yeah.
The coverage in the media has been entirely negative.
Entirely negative.
You can look at the Atlantic, MS Now, the New York Times, where they just talk about how, well, the U.S. capability is showing signs of rot.
Well, questions of whether Trump is clueless about Iran.
It's why.
In other words, it's a foregone conclusion.
Of course, Iran is stupid.
Of course, the troops who support it must be stupid, but we support the troops because we don't want them to, but the troops think that you're actually wrong and you're undermining them.
Of course, the people of Iran are stupid.
Of course, those who actually have access to confidential information regarding the capabilities of the Republic of Iran are stupid.
But we know, and so we want to make sure that everybody out there hears that the United States is being defeated.
That's the separate issue here, is the defeatism from the media.
You think that honors those who've lost their lives?
You think that honors people who are there to fight for our country?
So Secretary of War Hegseth specifically addressed this.
I think he did it incredibly well.
I'm going to show you a short clip, his setup, and then go through each example and give you references.
Here's Pete Hegseth.
With every passing hour, we know, and we know they know that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling.
They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate.
They're confused, and we know it.
Our response, we will keep pressing.
We will keep pushing, keep advancing.
No quarter, no mercy for our enemies.
Yet some in this crew, in the press, just can't stop.
Allow me to make a few suggestions.
People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines.
I used to be in that business, and I know that everything is written intentionally.
Yeah, and we're about to get through the very specific examples where they've tried to paint it as though the United States is getting shellacked or losing.
Do you think, even with the poll showing a majority of Americans and an overwhelming majority of people in the military support it, and a super majority of Republicans do, do you think that number would be higher if people knew how effective we were being and how desperate the Iranian regime is and that they've been forced underground and that their numbers are dwindling?
Do you think that, because most people don't know that, let's go to the first example.
Absolutely right.
If I think that an operation is not going very well, I'm going to disapprove of it.
And you're going to think those who made the decision made the wrong judgment call.
Like, oh my gosh, you walked into another Vietnam.
You walked into another Iraq.
That's when I go, wow, the president made a bad decision.
Right.
All people underneath him.
As Secretary of War, a bad decision.
His general's bad decision.
That's what I'm thinking.
If it goes south.
Well, otherwise people say, hey, quick, decisive military action that is protective of America.
Well, they're supportive of that.
Well, maybe the information that Secretary Hagseth delivers next might actually affect it.
But remember, it's media blackett on this.
Here you go.
For example, a banner or a headline.
Mideast war intensifies, splashing on the screen the last couple of days alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has hit because that's what they do.
What should the banner read instead?
How about Iran increasingly desperate?
Because they are.
They know it, and so do you, if it can be admitted.
Yeah, here's the truth.
Iran is desperate, objectively.
Since the start of the war, missile launches are down 90%.
Drones, down 95%.
And so they're now striking just civilian infrastructure to lash out because that's all they have left.
That would be a sign of desperation.
Here's the next example that he points to.
Oh, President Trump didn't think about the Strait of Hormuz, and we'll give you some more clips so you know the truth.
Or more fake news from CNN.
Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the Strait of Hormuz.
Patently ridiculous, of course.
For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
This is always what they do, hold the strait hostage.
CNN doesn't think we thought of that.
It's a fundamentally unserious report.
The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.
Here's the truth.
That's exactly right.
And this is something that people don't take into account.
The Strait of Hormuz, as Mark Arubio was discussing, before you get to actually having nukes, right, even though they had enriched uranium past 60%, you get to a point where think of them having basically their own Iron Dome where they have so many short-range missiles, they have so many drones that no one would be able to stop them from building a nuke.
Also, no one would be able to stop them from holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, meaning they don't need to at that point have nukes.
They just need to make sure that they can control any ships going in and out.
And they were getting close to that point.
That's a big reason that we went in.
Imagine a nuclear Iran or an Iran that no one could bridle holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage.
And by the way, they've made those threats many, many, many, many times.
President Trump addressed this on Air Force One specifically.
Because, you know, they were going to blow up the Middle East.
If I didn't terminate the Obama horrible deal, the Iran nuclear deal that's going to be, if I didn't terminate that in my first term, they would have already had a nuclear weapon and they would have used it immediately upon getting it.
All right.
Next example that Secretary Hagseth calls out.
The media talking about how, oh, the war is actually, it's getting pretty close and it's widening.
Another example of a fake headline that I saw yesterday.
War widening.
Here's a real headline for you for an actual patriotic press.
How about Iran shrinking, going underground?
You see, Iran's leaders are hiding in bunkers and moving into civilian areas.
The only thing that is widening is our advantage.
Not to mention our Gulf partners stepping up even more, now going on the offense, and have always been with us on the defense with collective and integrated air defenses.
Yeah, and that's absolutely true.
You can check the references.
Whether you agree with the conflict or the intervention from the United States or not, the Iranian regime is shrinking.
They're hiding.
They're underground.
Some examples like the IRGC and the, well, the Iran's army.
They have like this growing rift right now.
Army personnel are being denied medical care by the IRGC.
Jeez.
The new Ayatollah for a very short Ayatollah for a very short period of time, hiding allegedly in Russia after recovering from surgery.
Intelligence also suggests that he's a homosexual.
So we can bring up a lot of people.
Save the tall buildings for him, guys.
Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Machaba, who earned the nickname the power behind the robes while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.
Also, there seems to be some video evidence from where he's recovering that would suggest this is the case.
What do you call a thousand Jews jinned together at the bottom of the ocean?
I don't know.
A good start.
Yes, yes.
I love AI.
We inserted the new Ayatollah into the scene from Philadelphia in which Tom Hanks is dying from AIDS due to sexual homosexual activity.
Perfect.
Didn't this guy go to France like four times for ED treatments?
Like he really wants to have some fun from behind, it seems.
It's almost as if Allah is telling him, no, no.
Right.
And he says, I'll get a pill.
No ED pills in heaven with your 72 virgins.
They're male virgins.
Here's the thing.
Like we said, being able to, does any of that change your view?
Have you believed some of the propaganda that, oh my gosh, the Iranians are putting up a good fight?
And you know, this is getting worse.
This is getting hairy.
No, they're shrinking.
It's like a BOA constrictor in the sense that their launching capabilities, their drones, their missiles, they decrease, and then we close in that space, and it never comes back.
When you want to talk about a swift, effective military operation, you can't just take everything out at once, but you take out a few options on the table, you box them in, and we're boxing them in more and more and more where they really don't have a whole lot more to offer in their own defense.
Yeah.
But all Tucker Carlson and the gang can talk about, and this makes the point because it really does start to shift public perception, is we have abandoned our partners in the Gulf states.
We've moved all of the assets to defend them against missiles out of there and into Israel.
Now they're pissed at us and they're not doing anything where Hagseth comes on and says, these guys are actually going on the offensive with us.
You think these guys like the fact that they controlled the strait and could basically just extort them at whatever point they wanted to?
Yeah.
We're having massive successes there with some issues.
It's not going to be easy, but it never is.
It's a country of 90 plus million people.
I watched Tucker Carlson as well.
I know the number now because apparently that's important.
Well, here's the thing.
You can disagree with the operation.
What you can't do is take the truth and just invert it to justify our disagreement.
It's going to ruin our coalition.
Well, the truth is the opposite.
It strengthened our coalition because people in this region, they see the opportunity.
They've also been subject to a lot of the terrorism, a lot of the instability of Iran.
None of them want this regime to be in power.
And they're actually now getting more involved.
So you can say you disagree with the operation.
Got it.
Well, you can't say this operation is going to destroy the coalition.
The opposite.
Well, you can't say this operation, you're killing innocent Iranians.
The Iranians want it.
Just to be clear, the overwhelming majority, over 80% of the Iranian people want it.
You can't say, well, that's because it's boots on the ground.
And this is a record number lost.
Of course, every life lost is a tragedy.
Our troops shouldn't be going, well, they support it.
But you can't just take your foregone conclusion when in the face of reality, use it as your premise to oppose something.
The opposite of what these people have told you is reality.
The war is not widening.
It's shrinking.
They are not putting up a good fight.
They're unable to put up a fight.
Those in our military are not of the view, no more forever wars.
They view this as a swift military action that won't turn into a forever war.
We need to be honest about it if we're going to have a conversation as to the appropriate measures for the United States to take in the realm of their own protection.
And by the way, the more President Trump's foreign policy is in focus, the more Marco Rubio comes to the forefront.
So this actually is a Cal Sheet check-in.
It looks like him being a Republican nominee is up 8% since the war in Iran.
So he's up to 27.
Vance is down to a 38% likelihood.
That's minus 6 since the start.
Who are you liking between the two right now?
You guys let me know.
That's kind of a big discussion taking place.
Was literally Tucker Carlson listed on there.
It's like 2%.
Yeah.
That makes sense because.
Wait, he's being investigated.
I'm sorry.
There's no evidence of it.
No charges have come forward yet.
It may not actually be a thing.
It may not be a thing.
He's reading my text.
Maybe they are.
I don't know.
Maybe you were talking to a foreign adversary, you asshole.
Well, I will tell you this.
They wouldn't be reading his text.
They'd be reading the other guy.
They'll be reading the other guy's text.
War Intervention Claims 00:15:01
Yes.
Yeah.
So some people have sort of refuted it, said it's not a thing.
The only reason we know it is because he came out and talked about it.
We'll see what we're seeing.
I want to reserve judgment on that.
I have no idea.
The only information I have is what Tucker delivered to his audience that they were trying to frame him for a crime and that he was, in fact, talking with some people in Iran.
But I know plenty.
We've talked to people in Iran before the internet went out, just to be clear.
Like plenty of people we know who have family members and folks like talk to folks, press, people who are there undercover in Iran.
Like that's that's not a crime.
You wouldn't be charged.
I do know that.
All right, going on.
Oh, speaking of Rubio and Vance, no, I like both of them.
John Oliver, who kind of disappeared for a minute, but then I realized he still does his once-a-week show for like a very limited season.
He did an entire segment criticizing JD Vance and trying to make the case as to why he's awful.
But no surprise there.
It's time for the latest installment of John Oliver is a big fat busy.
I am a pussy.
And that is frankly a wild thing to say.
I'm telling you, I am a pussy.
Oh, sorry if this is how you found out.
But I'm telling you that I am a pussy god.
Still, top five stingers.
Pretty good.
We'll do this as a claim truth, provide you with the references.
Here's the first claim that John Oliver makes.
Go watch his entire segment in context.
It's free on YouTube.
No risk of being demonetized there.
First claim is, you guessed it, JD Vance, well, is a racist, just like you and promotes racism.
It's so tired.
In Vance's vast amount of time online, he's ended up promoting some flagrantly racist bullshit.
It tends to get forgotten, but Trump's whole they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats meltdown in the presidential debate came after Vance elevated a false rumor that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating people's pets.
You didn't turn it into a meme about cats.
You shared misinformation that turned a whole town upside down.
Okay, so here's the truth.
It wasn't just about the dogs and the cats and the ducks, and we'll get to that in a second.
Haitian migrants did ruin that town.
It overwhelmed Springfield, Ohio, and the residents were really concerned.
You had 20,000 Haitians in a town of 60,000 people.
The schools were overwhelmed.
Kids didn't speak English whatsoever.
And there were plenty of reports and 911 calls that Haitians there were eating geese and ducks in the park.
They would eat dirt cookies.
This is where they come from a place.
You know that, right?
They eat dirt cookies.
Why wouldn't they eat anything that actually has meat on it?
They just see it as free food.
And of course, the media doesn't want to actually do investigative work, fact-check whether it's true or false, dive into the 911 calls, the calls to the authorities.
Hey, they're stealing the geese again.
They're eating them.
So they just want to tell you that's a lie.
When that wasn't the only issue, the issue was about migrants taking over towns in the United States and displacing Americans, putting them out of work, ruining their schools, skyrocketing crime.
All that is observable, but instead, John Oliver just says something racist.
Also, as it relates to the geese, we actually have an exclusive interview with a resident of Springfield, Ohio, who would like to remain anonymous.
They ate my brother.
We've been taking care of his little goslings, but they're pretty shook up.
See, John Oliver doesn't speak for that person, the little guy.
They don't talk about the victims, do they?
No, they don't.
They don't.
They're real victims.
Next.
I know.
By the way, we're live, 11 a.m. Eastern weekdays, if you're watching the clip.
He makes this claim.
This is so tired.
We've debunked this many times.
John Oliver is so lazy, he doesn't actually develop new arguments.
He just has people, he just has his people hand him one that was a talking point about, I don't know, three years ago and still goes with that.
So here's what it is: Illegals don't drive up hospital or housing costs.
On immigration, he's argued that while he bears no personal animus toward immigrants, they're the cause of many problems Americans face.
He's claimed we're bankrupting a lot of hospitals by forcing them to provide care for people who don't have the legal right to be in our country.
And he said that illegal aliens competing with Americans for scarce homes is one of the most significant drivers of home prices in the country.
Two assertions, by the way, that have been soundly rejected by experts.
Yeah, experts, he cites Washington Post, CBS News, and PolitiFact.
I believe it was PolitiFact who didn't know if Ilon Omar married her brother.
Truth.
Of course, everything JD Vance said is correct.
And here's the beauty of an elitist like John Oliver, who's not even from this country.
He doesn't have to live with the consequences, but you do.
Numbers, more than half of both legal and illegal immigrants use at least one or more welfare programs.
Over half.
If you go to just illegals, I bet you that number is much higher.
Those are difficult to track.
So we give you the numbers that we actually can find.
It exceeds those who are born in the U.S. by a wide, wide margin.
And illegal aliens cost the U.S. taxpayer anywhere from $150 billion to $451 billion per year.
That's what they cost you, period.
As it relates to housing, there have been quite a few studies done on this.
For each percentage of an increase in immigration that you see, so the percentage of immigrants in this country goes up by 1%, you see a 3.5 average housing price increase.
Okay?
And when you talk about those on welfare services, again, the media, people like John Oliver, his view is it's already been soundly debunked.
They don't want to research it.
So it's hard to find the numbers.
But when you, in the very rare instances, look, it's worse than you think.
In 2025, illegals cost Texas, the state of Texas, hospitals, a billion dollars.
What?
I was told that that's Texas alone.
No way.
2025, Texas, $1 billion.
Go check the references.
They use the emergency room as their primary health care provider.
Right.
And they can't be turned away, right?
No.
No, they can't.
They can't.
Yeah.
And here's the big difference, right?
I'm not patting myself on the.
He just says, it's been soundly debunked and shows you a little headline thing.
I am giving you the numbers as to why he is wrong.
You may say that one of them is not complete enough, but I just gave you three or four and I'm giving you the references.
John Oliver doesn't do that.
He wants to tell you what to think.
He doesn't want to allow you to think or encourage you to learn how to think.
Here's the next claim that he makes.
That Vance contradicted himself when he supported President Trump on Venezuela.
He's trying to paint.
It's the same old thing.
You're either a racist or you're a hypocrite.
This one's the hypocrite argument.
He's also relentlessly defended his boss's moves, even when they directly contradict his prior beliefs, like his anti-interventionist approach to foreign policy.
When people criticized last year's U.S. strikes in the waters of Venezuela, calling them a war crime, he replied on Twitter, I don't give a shit what you call it.
And when Trump decided to first strike Iran last year, Vance defended him and didn't even try to come up with a good rationalization.
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East.
I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security objectives.
Yeah, it wasn't okay before because the presidents were stupid heads who wait dumb for breakfast, but now we have a big, strong real estate developer and stake salesman to give us the national security expertise we so badly need.
So it's completely fine.
Yeah, here's the truth.
There's nothing hypocritical about what Vance has said.
And again, he didn't just say dumb, smart.
He said, now you have a president who is very capable and clear in accomplishing objectives for the United States.
He says, people who called them war crimes, you.
Why would you expect JD Vance to agree with leftists like you?
Also, he definitely called George Bush dumb.
Yes.
There.
There you go.
Yeah, you could find it.
You guys should.
10 examples you could probably find.
And on common ground, 130 plus narco-terrorists were killed with those boat strikes.
And then, of course, you have Venezuela, Maduro, all right, taken out.
Those people dancing in the streets, are we in a war with Venezuela?
That's quite different.
It's also why it's a disservice to compare everything to Iraq.
We used to be pretty swift with military action.
That was kind of the norm.
And then the exception became the norm, and you can blame George Bush Sr., you can blame Barack Obama, George Bush Jr., yep.
That's not how war or military intervention from the United States typically looks.
With Iran, every president has been saying that something needs to be done.
And this is the first president who has done something.
You may disagree with it, but to say that Vance is a hypocrite, here he is before his VP nomination supporting an aggressive approach on Iran.
Nuclear deterrence is maybe the most important thing that we have.
You have to make it so that you don't just have 30, 40, 50 countries all with nuclear warheads pointing at each other.
That's sort of how you reach a truly apocalyptic situation.
So I think we have to be really willing to go very far to prevent the Iranians from taking that final step.
And if, God forbid, they get there, then I think you have to be willing to take some extreme steps if they're going to be effective to ensure that they don't have a broader nuclear capability that they can't launch nuclear missiles all over the Middle East or even all over the world.
So look, I think we have to be aggressive with this.
And I come at this from a position of some restraint in foreign policy.
I think war often leads to unintended consequences, but preventing Iran from getting a bomb, really, really, really important.
Seems pretty, by the way, he's also against forever wars.
So am I. Not every war, not every military action is a forever war.
Just understand that when you say these things, you're playing into the hands of the left.
JD Vance can say, I don't want useless military intervention.
And again, he said, provided that we're really clear and effective in accomplishing our objectives.
And this is a through line I see with people in the military across the board.
They felt like quite, especially with Iraq, the objectives were ever shifting due to the political winds.
Same thing with Vietnam.
What happens when you look at places that become sort of quagmires, Vietnam, Iraq, those are places where you're dealing with an outlier where the winds of political opinions shifted the policy, the approach, the rules of engagement from midterm to midterm.
Afghanistan too, by the way.
Yeah, Afghanistan too.
We killed Bin Laden way before we pulled out.
There you go.
And that was changed drastically.
Here's another one, too, which brings us to what Oliver's real problem is, just like Black Lives Matter, just like Antifa, just like feminists.
John Oliver hates the idea of strong nuclear traditional families in the United States because that's what allows us to prevent this country from becoming, you know, the UK.
So what he wants to do is fearmonger and tell you that JD Vance wants to put you back into the 1950s by forcing women to remain in abusive relationships, something like that.
In fact, the only concrete action he took during his two years in the Senate when it comes to child care policy was introduced the failed Fairness for Stay-at-Home Parents Act, which focused on helping parents who decided to leave the workforce altogether.
And if you're getting the sense that what he really wants is to turn the clock back to the 1950s, you're getting war.
Sounds good.
Especially given he's also expressed reservations about no-fault divorce.
And this is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is this idea that, like, well, okay, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy.
And so getting rid of them and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they changed their underwear, that's going to make people happier in the long term.
And maybe it worked out for the moms and dads, though I'm skeptical, but it really didn't work out for the kids of those marriages.
Yeah, he said we shouldn't have made it so easy for people to leave violent marriages.
No, that's actually not what he said.
And here's the truth.
We absolutely should get rid of no-fault divorce.
It has been a disaster.
Ronald Reagan, who I believe when he was governor, was one of the first states to do it, said it was one of his greatest regrets.
Before no-fault divorce, if a man was beating the crap out of a woman, that was a fault, and she could leave and he would pay.
If he was cheating, that was a fault.
And she could leave and he would pay.
You still have that in some states that don't have the exact framework of the current no-fault divorce.
Here's where we are now: divorces are filed 69% to 80% from women these days.
Okay.
The national number, I believe, is 69%.
That number is far higher in states that have basically carte blanche no-fault divorce.
That's where it goes up to like 80%.
If they both have college degrees, it's always hovering around 80%.
Nationally, it's 69%.
And they do it for minor reasons.
Physical abuse, infidelity are not the top five, even amongst the top five or top three reasons listed, depending on the year.
Just to be clear, there used to be a fault.
Abuse, infidelity.
If not, if you're divorcing for a minor reason, you refuse to work it out.
That's abandonment.
And then you are at fault.
Kentucky, to give you an example, Kentucky made a law that just during divorce, okay, 50-50 custody.
Right?
They just changed the law as opposed to women being the default case in custody.
50-50 custody.
I mean, okay, if you guys want to get divorced, so it's not even changing no-fault.
Guess what?
Divorce rates declined by 25% because there wasn't a multi-billion dollar divorce industry who wanted to use it as leverage so that fathers would pay more money to get more time with their kids.
Has no-fault divorce strengthened marriages in the United States?
Has it made families stronger?
The answer is unequivocally no, and it was based on a lie.
And of course, what they do is if you believe, if you want this for the best sake of the children, which is what JD Vance was saying, he goes, well, then why don't you want to pay for insert all the social programs here?
Their solution, if you listen to John Oliver's video, is, all right, no-fault divorce.
Then we need to have taxpayer-funded daycare open-ended, as opposed to, if we go back to the 50s, we're talking about single-income household where someone can be home with the kids rather than displacing your finances so that somebody else raises your children and you can leave whenever you want because the guy left toenails in the bathtub or whatever it is.
No, let's go back to discouraging a culture of divorce.
Let's go back to the point where we can have one person in the household, but they can't acknowledge that everything to have come from the women's sexual revolution of the 60s has made women fatter, sicker, more mentally unwell, and children have worse outcomes because they're being raised in very often broken homes.

In the entire episode, there's only one claim that Oliver made that seems even remotely, let alone completely true.
JD Varns will become president.
This has been John Oliver is a big fancy.
I am a pussy.
And that is frankly a wild thing to say.
I'm telling you, I am a pussy.
Oh, sorry if this is how you found out.
But I'm telling you that I am a pussy god.
And I've gone a little over time.
I apologize.
