Dave Rubin and Marco Rubio dissect the Iran war, where Rubio decimates media narratives by defining clear military objectives against Iran's air force and missile programs. While Netanyahu claims the existential threat is gone, Rubio condemns Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez for denying U.S. base access, prompting Trump to threaten trade cuts over Sanchez's migrant policies. The episode further critiques Democrats like Ilhan Omar for opposing voter ID laws and highlights cultural clashes regarding marriage and sanctuary cities, ultimately arguing that current political strategies undermine national security and democratic integrity.

Maybe the most beloved actor of our time, Morgan Freeman.
So he is alive.
I'm happy to say that.
That's number one.
That will be our only April Fool's Day reference throughout the show, unless something pops in the middle of the show.
But before we get to the show, and there's a lot to get to today, obviously, tonight is the first night of Passover.
So basically, every Jew from religious to secular to lefty lunatic across the globe will be celebrating Passover, which of course is the story of the Jews' exodus from slavery in Egypt.
And where did they wander after those 40 years in the desert?
Yeah, it was Israel.
I know that's a pain in the butt for some of the haters.
And of course, if you haven't seen it, if you just If you just have not seen it lately, they used to show it on ABC, and it was like four hours with commercials, the Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston.
If you have not seen it and you just don't want to read the entire story, but you just want like the bang up, beautiful, old school Hollywood, what year did that movie come out?
1956.
Yeah, just watch that.
And for those of you that will be doing a Seder tonight, of course, it is retelling of that story of the Jews going from bondage.
You know, slavery to freedom and then, and then getting to the promised land.
Uh, I wish I had mentioned this earlier in the week because it'll be tough for you to get, uh, although there are two nights of the Seder.
But my friend Dennis Prager wrote this.
It's called the Rational Passover Haggadah.
The Haggadah is the story of Passover that Jews read and eat the matzah and all the stuff.
And what Dennis does is he takes some, you have to read it.
If you can see, it's written as in, as in Hebrew.
So the other way around, you have to open the book the other way.
Um, and he tells the story of Passover and the proper Seder.
But then also blends it with America and freedom.
It's not political, it's just sort of, well, it's rational.
It's rational.
How does the rational mind address deep existential issues that involve faith and belief and all that?
You might be able to get it on quick one day delivery on Amazon if you have not.
And speaking of Dennis Prager, real quick, he took a fall about a year and a half ago, and he's unfortunately he can't move from the neck down, but his mind is completely there.
He just moved to Florida.
I saw him a few days ago.
His spirits are Just absolutely incredible.
I mean, the guy is just off the charts, an incredible human being.
We're going to have him on the show in probably a week or so, and it would be a good time as.
Passover is obviously tonight and tomorrow.
And then, of course, this is Easter Sunday and everything else.
So, okay, so let's leave all of that there and dive in.
And once again, Morgan Freeman is alive and well.
I assume he's doing well.
Seems like he'd be doing just fine, probably.
Okay, so what's the latest on the Iran war?
Well, it sounds like we're going to get a major, major update tonight.
Caroline Levitt tweeted this yesterday, referencing today.
She said, Tomorrow night at 9 p.m., President Trump will give an address to the nation to provide an important update.
On Iran.
Okay, pretty good.
So we're going to get something from Trump.
The general feeling out there is he's going to say that, in essence, the war has been won.
We have somebody to negotiate with.
As I said, this isn't the top tier guys or the next level guys.
Maybe it's not even the AAA baseball guys.
It's somebody that we are negotiating with that can speak for the regime.
The military portion probably wraps up in the next little bit.
And then we kind of see what happens after.
But this I also thought was interesting as it relates to all of this from inside paper.
New Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Iran no longer possesses an existential threat to Israel.
So, okay, nuke program gone, ballistic missile program gone, drone abilities gone.
This is all good.
It's good not only for Israel, but it's good for the roughly 13 Arab nations that Iran lashed out against over the last month.
So, this is all good.
Now, I want to back up to something.
That repeatedly has come up over the last 30 days, which you're hearing constantly in the lefty media still, and you're hearing in sort of that Tucker Carlson, whatever portion of the right that is, that there was no objective here, or it was never laid out, or it was unclear, or something like that.
And that just could not be further from the truth.
Here's once again Marco Rubio yesterday torching the mainstream media for lying about the war objectives.
I hear these news reports, and it's very frustrating that we don't know what the objectives are.
The objectives are very clear.
I want to repeat them again, and we're going to achieve all four of them.
We're going to destroy their Air Force.
We already have done it.
We're going to destroy their Navy.
We've largely done that.
We're going to destroy their factories that make these missiles and these drones.
And we are going to destroy their.
We are going to severely degrade their missile launchers so that they can't fire these multiple salvos against their neighbors and threaten us, threaten our troops in the region, and threaten our allies in the region.
And we are well on our way to achieving all four of those objectives.
And it sounds like what Trump will announce tonight is something approximating that those four objectives.
Have been taken care of.
That doesn't mean that they won't be able to randomly shoot a rocket here and there, right?
They're still doing that over the last couple days.
But the program, the ballistic missile program, is completely gone.
The nuke program is gone.
The factories and the steel factories, even where they're building some of these drones, et cetera, et cetera, have been decimated.
And again, it's not just the physical stuff that's been destroyed, but when you take out the leadership layer and then you take out the second tier leadership layer and below that and you keep going, eventually somebody comes around and says, you know what?
I would rather not have my brains.
Blown out, maybe I'll work with the United States.
And boy, if I'm a little kinder to the people of Iran and I let the women dress as they wish and I let people be free and all of those things, if we don't run a radical Islamist agenda over the Persian people, that maybe that will actually be good for Iran as well.
Here's Scott Jennings over on CNN with what he thinks is a bit more of a preview of what Trump will announce tonight.
I think tomorrow night, based on what I'm hearing, we're going to get a couple of things from the president.
Probably a recitation of how he sees the last four or five weeks, the military successes we've had, the fact that we've obliterated their Navy, we've obliterated most of their missile and drone capacity, and the fact that we did take out the previous regime.
And now we're talking to new people that I think the president and the administration believe are somewhat more willing to have a reasonable conversation.
I also believe we're probably going to hear how he sees the next two to three weeks when we will wrap up.
What he sees as our military objectives, and hopefully bring our large scale operations to a conclusion in a way that meets all the objectives the nuclear stuff, the missiles, the Navy, the exporting of.
All right, so there's Scott Jennings, basically the one same guy on CNN, sort of reiterating what I just said right there, but basically saying, yeah, the things that Rubio laid out have been taken care of.
Probably a little cleanup over the next two weeks.
And then what I suspect he will at least hint at tonight, probably can't lay it out tonight.
But what he will probably hint at tonight is once the Iranian regime is gone, the old Iranian regime, which it is gone, that there are going to be peace deals.
That would be my prediction.
And you know in this game, you get some predictions right and you get some predictions wrong.
But there will be some peace deals signed before the midterms because Trump knows the pressures on to get major wins.
Uh, I would also say to the people on the right that have been angry at Trump over this, um, this was not a forever war.
It's coming to a conclusion, right?
And our objectives We're taken care of.
Uh, we're gonna have a safer world.
Iran will be less, uh, able to export terrorism and threaten their neighbors and threaten us and threaten Europe, which suddenly got a little nervous as they realized that Iran's rockets were even a little bit, uh, had more distance to them than they thought.
Uh, and this will come to a conclusion and a 30 day war is not a forever war.
So Donald Trump, as we've shown you videos from quite literally 1981 on, has been ridiculously, wildly consistent as it comes to Iran.
And he didn't break any promise.
I see all these people like, he's broken a promise, forever war.
It's like 30 days.
30 days, maybe we get another two weeks.
But even if we got two more months of it, that's not a forever war.
A forever war would be the 20 year Afghanistan war.
A forever war would be the decade long Iraq war, et cetera, et cetera.
Not an operation that lasts less than a year that, that from day one they tell you what they're trying to do and we've been able to accomplish.
Uh, here's a bit more.
This is sort of on the insider political side of it.
I just thought it was an interesting moment.
Uh, here's Scott Janning, same show.
Going after New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.
She's implying that because people are not happy with Trump over Iran, that Florida Democrats did win a seat.
They actually did win a seat.
It likely has nothing to do with Iran.
We'll have more on that in just a second, but take a look.
First of all, I think making national security decisions based on a State House result in Florida in an off year election is not a great way to make national security policy.
Number two, generally, you want the commander in chief, in my opinion, to make national security decisions based on one thing is this in the best interest of protecting the American people?
Well, the Straits of Hormuz, those are international waters, right?
So anything Iran does to impede commercial traffic is illegal.
For all these countries that love to talk about international law, it is a violation of international maritime law to impede the free flow of travel in international waters.
China, 80% of the oil that Iran exports goes to China.
Okay.
So we, when we do things, When we do operations like Epic Fury, this one month operation, and we say to the Iranian regime, you're not going to have this kind of leverage in the future to close the Strait of Hormuz and bomb your neighbors and everybody, that makes everybody safer.
Everybody, even countries that we're not necessarily aligned with all the time and everything else.
And the broader point here is that regardless of your feelings on war, regardless of your feelings on Trump or anything else, everyone, if you live in America, should be rooting for American success.
You wouldn't want this war not to go well.
You shouldn't want this war not to go well, even if you have Trump derangement syndrome.
You should want America to be strong and safe.
You should want America to lead the world.
Not bludgeon everybody into following us, but lead with a degree of morality and clarity and things of that nature, which is exactly what I think Donald Trump has done.
Here's JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon on Fox talking about how everyone should hope for success here.
And he's really talking about from an economic stance, but yeah, you want success here, and then we will have a safer world, which is good.
For security, it's good for economics, it's good for trade and culture and everything else.
I think the market, you know, like some markets are unpredictable and it's hard for me to tell you exactly what, but I think they're just looking at is there a chance something can go wrong?
Now, we should all hope nothing goes wrong.
We should all hope that these bad people are, you know, that we win this thing and clean up the straits and that Iran is no longer a threat to everybody.
But the markets will be concerned until it's over.
But I think it's very important.
It's much more important.
That this be successfully completed than what the market does.
And the whole, so many people, again, sort of more isolationist people, kept saying there was no imminent threat.
And as Rubio has repeatedly pointed out, do you, if you know that somebody's a threat, You know they're up to no good.
They've got some weapons.
They're threatening their neighbors.
They've been funding things that are bad and everything else.
When is the moment to strike?
Do you wait till it's imminent when they've built themselves up and they're ready for an attack?
Or do you do it beforehand?
And as Diamond points out, and again, he's not a foreign policy guy, he's a markets guy.
The other countries in the area, the Gulf countries, are very happy right now, right?
Like, we went in and cleaned up their biggest threat.
This will be good for trade.
This will also show the world no more of this nonsense.
No more exporting terrorism everywhere.
No more lobbing rockets into everybody's neighborhood.
And if you all stop doing that, things could be pretty good.
Now, ironically, while much of the Arab world Has come closer to the American position on this, right?
Like they didn't want to, they sort of didn't want to do it publicly, but they are privately happy about it, as he pointed out there, and everyone is kind of coming around to that.
There are some countries in Western Europe that are less enthused.
I think they're going to regret it.
We'll talk about Spain in just a second, but first, Shopify.

All right, so as I've been saying from the beginning of this thing, if we're not going to see a literal redrawing of the map, and there might be a little of that as it pertains to the Middle East, we are definitely going to see a figurative redrawing of the map.
And what I mean by that is there's going to be new alliances.
Trump has made it very clear hey, if you're working with us, you can come and join the American success train.
And if you don't, well, we might stop paying for stuff and we might not be as friendly to you when it comes to trade and a whole bunch more.
One country in Europe, there's a couple countries in Europe that he's quite disappointed with right now, but I would say at the top of that list is Spain.
And we've been talking about Spain a little bit on the show over the last little bit.
They have a new prime minister.
He's basically a communist.
His name is Pedro Sanchez.
And here he is with sort of lefty 101.
unidentified
Spain, the lover of peace, of social justice, feminist Spain, and ecologist Spain.
And indeed, that is precisely why there will be no Trump, no Millet, no Bolsonaro, no Dutchman Geert Wilders, no Feiju, and no Abascal.
There will be four more years of a progressive government, of social progress, of peaceful coexistence.
Man, you really got to wonder what planet these people are.
He named all the good guys.
There'll be no more Trump, no more Millet, no more Geert Wilderss, who I just interviewed, if you haven't seen it, interviewed him in.
Hungary, a couple days ago or last week, but it's going to be a feminist Spain, and you could just see all the social justice stuff.
So they've really gone that route, and there's going to be an interesting divide right now because Trump keeps saying to everybody, Come with us, you're going to reap the rewards of that, you're going to get the benefits of that.
Don't go with us, you might be in some trouble.
So it's not just that Sanchez is taking them down the communist sort of social justice woke path on all the cultural stuff within Spain, it's also affecting their foreign policy.
Here is Sanchez on the Iran war.
unidentified
This war in Iran is a big mistake for the world and therefore for the US.
You've been quite blunt in your criticism of the US and Israeli war with Iran.
Why have you chosen to be so outspoken on this issue?
Well, as I said, there is a moral dimension of this war, or these wars, I would say, because I think all of them are interconnected.
The Gaza war, of course, what is happening in Lebanon and, of course, in Iran.
It's like, well, if Hezbollah would stop shooting rockets, there would be no war in Lebanon right now.
He's one of these people that is just on the wrong side of everything.
And the fact that he's as woke as he is, a phrase that I would love to put to bed finally, it's all sort of connected and obvious.
But now let's connect this to how it actually affects geopolitics.
Listen to this from PBS.
Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war, its defense minister said on Monday, marking.
The latest step by Europe's loudest opponent of U.S. and Israeli involvement in the conflict in the Middle East.
The country earlier said the U.S. couldn't use jointly operated military bases in the conflict, which Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has described as illegal, reckless, and unjust.
Defense Minister Margarita Robles said that the same logic applied to the use of Spanish airspace in the conflict.
This was made perfectly clear to the American military and forces from the very beginning.
Therefore, neither the bases are authorized, nor, of course, is the use of Spanish airspace Air space authorized for any actions related to the war in Iran, Robles told reporters and called the war in Iran profoundly illegal and profoundly unjust.
Sanchez, one of Europe's most prominent left wing leaders, called on the U.S., Israel, and Iran to end the war, saying earlier this month, you cannot respond to one illegality with another because that's how humanity's greatest disasters begin.
After Sanchez's government denied the U.S. use of the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to cut trade with Madrid.
Now look, Let me be clear about this.
Spain has every right, like every sovereign nation, every sovereign nation on earth has every right to make whatever decisions it sees best for itself.
Pedro Sanchez, you know, he sounds a little bit like Neville Chamberlain here, right?
Like he's just kind of acquiescing to Iran, the way Neville Chamberlain was acquiescing to Hitler.
But as the leader of the country, he can look at all of the papers, he can sit there with all the papers, and he can say, okay, I've made my decision here.
Now, the issue, the difference, This is the key part.
The difference between America now under Trump and America under previous leadership is back in the day, if you just thumbed America in the eye, you spit in America's face, we would basically take it.
And we'd still protect you.
We'd still probably give you money.
We'd still have lopsided trade deals with everybody.
But now we have a new sheriff in town.
And Trump simply will not do that.
And here is Trump on, well, what he will do now that Spain will not play ball.
Again, He's not saying we're going to bomb the hell out of you, Spain.
As a matter of fact, he's saying we could take those air bases if we wanted.
And he's right.
Could America, right this second, just wander into Spain and take those air bases and do whatever the hell we wanted?
Of course we could.
But he's not threatening to do that.
He is saying we are now cutting trade with you.
You guys wouldn't negotiate when we were dealing with all the tariff stuff and the lopsided trades in the first place.
Now you're not helping us.
And again, this is so consistent with what Trump said.
Remember that Riyadh speech that Trump gave over a year and a half ago, right when he was sworn in, and he went there and he said, We're not going to threaten you guys.
But if you play ball with us, you will share in American success.
Well, the Gulf states are now doing that.
And who isn't doing it?
Well, Spain isn't doing it.
And I think they're going to pay the price.
And then, of course, the price will also be paid by some of the other NATO countries because for the last roughly 70 years, we've been NATO is us.
No one is ever going to do anything, well, besides Israel, no one is ever going to do anything besides America.
That has become obvious.
And if you were a leader in Europe over the last 70 years, and you were just looking at the math, and you were like, Boy, we don't have to pay much for this, and we get security, and we can kind of crap all over the host country who's taking care of everything.
This is a pretty sweet deal.
Well, Trump's had it with that, and here's Rubio with a bit more.
If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means that we can't use those bases, that in fact, that we can no longer use those bases to defend America's interests, the NATO is a one way street.
The NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help, Not their help.
We're not asking them to conduct airstrikes.
When we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no.
Then why are we in NATO?
You have to ask that question.
Why do we have billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars over the years, trillions of dollars, and all these American forces stationed in the region if we can only use, in our time of need, we're not going to be allowed to use those bases.
So I think there's no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship.
I suspect that Donald Trump will hint at that tonight, right?
And Rubio is completely right.
And you can only blame previous American leadership.
You can't blame the Europeans and all the other NATO countries who had a gravy train going, right?
Like, if you're offered a gravy train, you're going to take that gravy train and you're going to go, boy, this is pretty good.
I'm not paying anything.
I'm getting protected.
What a sweet deal.
These Americans are buffoons.
But as Rubio points out, at the end of the day, after we pay for all of it and protect all of these countries and everything else we do with them with these ridiculous trade deals, In a moment of need, if they're saying no to us, well, this thing is broken.
NATO was founded, by the way, post World War II in 1949.
The world was wildly different, wildly different after the maps were redrawn post World War II.
Just because NATO has existed doesn't mean it has to exist forever.
And I think Trump is, not I think, I mean, they're saying it already.
Trump is going to make a move on NATO, and it will be because he is America first.
And the people who are most upset by it.
Will be the globalists, but I don't think Trump really cares what they think.
Let's jump back to Spain for just a second because we covered a story a few days ago.
It's just such a profoundly insane story about a young girl who was gang raped by African migrants in a mental health facility in Spain and then subsequently was a paraplegic and decided to use their new euthanasia law to kill herself.
We covered it last week live as the euthanasia part was happening.
And this euthanasia law now, that people will basically be able to kill themselves for virtually any reason, is spreading across the West.
It's happening in Spain.
There's a big move on this in Canada right now.
Let me get you caught on this, and then you'll see how we're connecting it.
From the New York Post, Trump administration to investigate euthanasia death of gang rape victims scolds Spain for human rights failures.
So, once again, that girl right there, she was gang raped in a mental health facility, a public mental health facility in Spain.
And in the end, because of her, because of the brutality that she faced and what they did to her, she decided to kill herself.
And that's because Spain allowed all of these migrants in.
And how many did they let in?
Well, it's not only crazy how many they let in.
But it's how many they are intentionally now allowing to become citizens.
Listen to this from the BBC Spain plans to give half a million migrants legal status.
So they are now, Spain is literally, you can call it replacement theory, you can call it whatever you want, but Spain, as it goes bananas, woke, social justice lefty, is now importing African migrants, Middle Easterners who are wrecking mayhem all over the place.
Also ran for president, polled at zero, dropped out after the first debate.
He is now threatening legal action against the FBI.
Listen to this from Fox.
Representative Eric Swalwell is threatening legal action against the FBI as it reportedly considers releasing potentially damaging files just weeks before he faces voters in California's wide open gubernatorial race.
Lawyers for Swalwell sent a cease and desist letter to FBI Director.
Kash Patel, warning the Bureau would violate federal privacy law if it moves ahead with releasing records regarding the congressman's decade old relationship with a suspected Chinese spy named Christine Fang Fang Fang.
The FBI rejects claims of political motives in the statement to the Washington Post, which it also shared with Fox News Digital.
The letter comes as the Washington Post first reported that Patel is weighing the release of investigative records related to Swalwell's past relationship with Fang, who is accused of cultivating ties with Swalwell and other California Democrats for espionage.
Well, you banged the Chinese spy, and there are people in that building who know that.
And the head of the FBI is interested in releasing that information because you want to be governor of California, which has like the Fifth largest economy in the world, and maybe a guy who's been compromised by a Chinese spy shouldn't be governor of California.
I mean, I suppose you could argue it's better than a lizard person, but that's neither here nor there.
Here's a little edit of Swallow saying that when Trump is going after political, well, just watch.
The Bureau said over 10 years ago, all we did was help.
But this effort to weaponize the FBI against the president's.
Political enemy in a time that we are at war shows a distraction, shows an obsession with going after the president's political opponents.
That we're going into the majority a year from now.
We have every intention to do that, and so we will bring oversight and accountability.
We will subpoena the Department of Justice, but also private actors who have done these drug deals with the administration, college campuses, entertainment companies, law firms, and so accountability is coming.
So when accountability comes and goes after you, it's an abusive.
Power, but when you guys get power, you're going to go after everybody, subpoena people, put people in jail.
And this is what virtually every Democrat says.
As Joseph just said to me, he's just a meathead, right?
Like, Gavin Newsom, for all, I mean, there is nobody on planet Earth that dislikes Gavin Newsom more than me.
There is nobody.
But for all of the things, like, I can accept that for whatever reason, whether it's the well fitting suits or the gelled hair or something, there is something that I can't see it and it's quite grotesque to me, but I can concede that there is something about him that a certain set of People would be attracted to or be willing to follow.
With Swallow, he's just a dumb ass meathead who they clearly, they're like, put the glasses on him.
He'll look smarter.
Whoa, whoa!
A squared plus B squared equals C squared.
He's very concerned that these files are going to come out because, again, everyone knows he banged Christine Fang, Fang, Fang.
So here he is saying that it'll be a horrific abuse of power if people were to find out that he.
It's kind of funny that you're concerned about the FBI and the amount of power they have because here you are three years ago when you thought you were off the hook about this, telling people that they should refer to the FBI when it comes to you banging Christine Fang Fang Fang.
Like whether he banged the Chinese spy or not, it's up to you.
Another horrible Democrat.
Who also broke the law is Ilhan Omar.
She married her brother.
And I'm not a lawyer, but as a general rule, there's got to be something about not marrying your brother.
So, yeah, somebody check that for me.
Here she is explaining to her rather, let's say, less than bright constituents that if we were to have fair elections where people had to identify who they were before voting, that that would disenfranchise people.
You would have to show that you're a citizen of the country that you're voting in?
What kind of backwards craziness is that?
As I keep saying, lady, if your fear is that people can't get to Kinko's and black people don't know how to use computers and brown people have never turned on an electric light or something, well, then you can create a government program for it, but you should want there to be less fraud.
But now here's the problem with the Democrats.
You know, as I often point out, Jordan Peterson for years was going into D.C. and asking all of these congressional Democrats, when does the left go too far?
And he could never get a straight answer on it.
He could never get anyone to say, this is where the left is.
Are boys, girls, you just can't get anyone to admit anything.
And the problem here is that that has now led to a situation where the inmates are running the asylum.
So even the ones, even the two or three Democrats who have the slightest patina of something sane aren't that great.
And that's why Fetterman, although I played clips of him all the time showing you the good moments, then he ends up voting with the Democrats, or in this case, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
But this effort by the Republican Party in Pennsylvania to require everyone to have a voter ID and for Governor Corbett's administration to continue to try and confuse people into thinking they have to have an ID in order to vote this election, which they do not as a result of the judicial ruling, is something that I think was designed to suppress certain votes around Pennsylvania.
I'm not suggesting that was Chairman Gleason's motives.
But it certainly was the motives of some Republicans.
It's wrong.
This voter ID law is unconstitutional.
And people who want to vote, if they do not have an ID, they can still go to the polls.
They can still have their constitutional right protected.
So that's interesting because right before COVID and then the world went completely insane and then somehow Joe Biden, when they did mail-in ballots, got like 15 million more votes than Barack Obama ever got.
But there you have a woman who's as corrupt as it comes, who did a soft coup to get rid of an auto pen.
There you have her admitting that yes, paper ballots are the safest.
I'm with you, Kamala.
Paper ballots, and you have to show an ID and then fill out a piece of paper.
Yeah, that's what I do here, and it's pretty great, and you feel like it's legit, and it makes you feel like you did your civil duty and that the system actually works.
From the system actually working over, just one clip, I promise, just one of, yeah, you know where I'm going.
We're doing the view.
It's quick, but it's so idiotic.
We had to do it.
There was an internal debate.
We had to do it.
You know, they're building the new White House ballroom, and Trump's doing it.
And it is not costing the taxpayers a dime.
It is privately funded.
It's being built very quickly, just the way Trump does things.
They're cutting red tape, they're making it happen real quick.
Here's Sonny Hostie explaining that there's a bunker beneath it, and that's where all the billionaires are going to hide during World War III.
And that part is really disconcerting because Trump says stuff like, I can't believe that people know about the bunker now because of a stupid lawsuit.
Why is there a bunker?
And are all the billionaires now, if something bad happens, going to?
Is the plan that all of them are going underneath the bunker?
The White House has, you know, there are all sorts of bunkers, and there are underground facilities that the government has built for all sorts of contingency plans.
I don't know if someone smuggled a smart bomb into the United States, maybe got some nuclear material smuggled out of Iran while they were enriching higher than they said they were, and they were able to blow things up.
You might want the president.
You might want certain levels of government.
Not that we need many of them, but to be able to hide in certain places.
But no, they're doing it so that all the billionaires, so, you know, all hell's going to break loose, and Trump's going to get on the phone and be like, Zuckerberg, swing on by.
We're having a party down in the bunker, man, and bring over Sergey Brin and Mr. Burns and Scrooge McDuck, and we're going to have a hell of a time.
But everything these people say is completely insane, so let's continue with a bit more of lefty lunacy before we wrap it today.
This is interesting out of Worcester.
Which is a strange place.
It's a strange lefty run place, and they had a city council meeting.
And they, well, here's someone who wants Worcester to become a sanctuary city for trans people.
unidentified
I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't.
And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am.
Can you wrap up, please?
Yes, I can.
If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people, You better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.

I'm shaking right now.
I don't want to be here.
I'm sorry, am I taking too long pleading for my life?
You remembered how many children I have and that two of them are trans.
How many married men right now are whipping their wives so that they will get out into the cotton field and produce?
All right, he'll get the numbers on that in just a second.
The reason I want to show you that clip, I get it, the trans thing before, these people are bananas, these Hollywood people are bananas, but what happens over time?
Well, why would you tell people not to get married, right?
This is reminiscent of the clip yesterday, right?
That clip that we showed you yesterday of The View, where my friend Isabel Brown was on The View, or my friend Isabel Brown was speaking at CPAC, basically saying to young women, Get married, have kids, see what happens.
It's kind of beautiful.
And all of the ladies of The View who all have children and, and are married, many on their second or third marriages, they were upset about that and angry at a young girl.
Uh, I had Isabella on the show.
You could just throw a quick image up.
I had her on yesterday and you really should check it out.
She's just, she's just an absolute gem.
And, you know, her husband, Brock, used to work here for us and they, they were great friends of ours in Miami.
I was, they had us over for dinner the night.
They told us they, that, uh, Isabelle was pregnant.
Like they're great human beings living, living the right kind of life.
And yet, for some reason, for the Leslie Joneses of the world or for the Whoopies of the world, they're doing it wrong.
And then you wonder why so much is out of whack.
So, how about we try to do something a little bit better?
So, why would the cultural message out there from Leslie Jones or the ladies of the view be don't do that?
Don't put yourself in a situation where you will be confronted by reality because you are in it with someone else.
And as I mentioned yesterday, That is literally how you build Jacob's ladder.
Each of you are a post of the ladder, and you can build yourself up to the kingdom of heaven.
You can think about that in the most literal sense.
We're going to force each other to be the best people we can be, and best parents we can be, and live the most fulfilled life we can live.
Or you can think about it in a more spiritual, deep way of what that actually means.
In some sense, it probably doesn't matter.
That is our program for today.
I will be eating matzah and retelling the ancient story of how the Hebrews. Fled Egypt to go to the promised land, which is very upsetting for a lot of Democrats these days.
I'll be doing that tonight and tomorrow night.
And of course, this Sunday is Easter.
So we'll do a little something special for Easter on Friday, actually.
I thank you for watching.
We've got a post game show in 30 seconds.
