=== Tragic Attack on Synagogue (08:04) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:04]  Thanks to all of you for being with us.
[00:00:05]  Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:00:12]  We have some tragic breaking news, tragic in one way, but amazing in another.
[00:00:18]  At a West Bloomfield Township in Michigan, this individual literally attacked a synagogue, not only drove the car, but drove it deep into the synagogue.
[00:00:32]  Linda, I don't know if you've been following this, all the details of all this, and they got deep in.
[00:00:38]  Now, if it wasn't for a brave security guard who is injured, but apparently not severely in a hospital.
[00:00:47]  Sorry, I had to take a drink.
[00:00:48]  Zen does not work well with an opening monologue.
[00:00:51]  I could have told you that one.
[00:00:53]  Yeah, I know, right?
[00:00:56]  But the suspect drove this into a synagogue.
[00:01:00]  Well, let me backtrack a little bit.
[00:01:02]  The FBI at this very synagogue six weeks ago had an active shooter incident drill that took place.
[00:01:13]  This temple was very, very a simulation, very, very prepared.
[00:01:18]  And anyway, the individual, now there are some questions that have not been answered.
[00:01:25]  The car went big time on fire.
[00:01:27]  Now, the only reason they were able, this guy drove this car deep into the temple, into the synagogue, and the only reason he got stopped is because of this brave security agent that was on site who ended up, I believe, getting some burns.
[00:01:41]  That's the extent of the injury.
[00:01:43]  But we're told by local sheriffs that he's going to be okay.
[00:01:46]  Nobody else injured.
[00:01:48]  The only person ending up dead in this is the individual responsible.
[00:01:52]  Now, we are watching carefully.
[00:01:55]  They do believe that there was some incendiary event.
[00:01:59]  Now, we don't know what was in the car.
[00:02:01]  I know law enforcement, FBI, everybody is on the scene, and they are making sure that this car doesn't have anything that can explode in it.
[00:02:13]  They're proceeding with very deep caution in this.
[00:02:16]  But this suspect is dead after ramming this vehicle and driving this vehicle into this Detroit area synagogue today.
[00:02:23]  And the sheriff went on to say that there's no confirmed injuries except for the one security guard at the temple, which also does include an early child care center and school, which makes it really scary.
[00:02:35]  You see, emergency responders, I've been watching this now for the last hour and a half, found what appeared to be this large amount of explosives in the back of the vehicle.
[00:02:45]  They're still searching, but they have to do that, obviously, with great care, according to law enforcement that they've confirmed.
[00:02:51]  After the vehicle hit the building, security opened gunfire, killed the suspect, which is the only thing that stopped this guy from driving that vehicle further into the synagogue.
[00:03:02]  The Oakland County Sheriff, Michael Bouchard, said that law enforcement and first responders have been at the scene, have it completely under control.
[00:03:12]  Quote, we want people to take a breath.
[00:03:14]  No one was hurt.
[00:03:15]  Although my understanding is that there was a slight injury to the one security guard, we're on top of it, he told reporters.
[00:03:22]  The chief and his team got here very fast.
[00:03:26]  Everything that was supposed to happen happened.
[00:03:30]  Security did their job.
[00:03:32]  Then the first responders did their jobs.
[00:03:34]  The sheriff said no children or staff were injured.
[00:03:38]  According to one of the lead security people, was hit by that car, was taken to the hospital for treatment.
[00:03:44]  So that's the very latest, except to say that this could have been a disaster.
[00:03:48]  Now you have to start wondering what the motivation might be.
[00:03:52]  And that's just going to unfold over time.
[00:03:55]  And if we get more details or new details on that, we'll let you know the very latest of it.
[00:04:00]  But we live in scary times.
[00:04:03]  I mean, you had this guy, Allah is Great, that was in Austin, Texas.
[00:04:07]  You had this incident of these two Pennsylvania kids with the IEDs, you know, by Gracie Manchin.
[00:04:17]  And, you know, anti-Semitism is real.
[00:04:20]  It's scary.
[00:04:21]  And it's grown by leaps and bounds, especially in the online community.
[00:04:26]  And I want to remind people, you know, to make sure that your children, that you are aware how toxic and cancerous online life is.
[00:04:37]  Look, I signed up for being a public figure many, many years ago.
[00:04:42]  And it's forever ago that I stopped caring about what people write and say about me online.
[00:04:49]  But if you don't sign up for that, you're not aware of it, and you haven't dealt with it for years.
[00:04:54]  I even had a friend of mine who was in the industry and was behind the scenes and then became a public figure.
[00:05:03]  And when people started writing horrible things about this individual and people started commenting online, none of it was real, but it became devastating.
[00:05:13]  And I remember saying, you cannot read this stuff.
[00:05:16]  It is cancer.
[00:05:18]  And understand this too, that especially among young people, they are being targeted by foreign entities and countries, our top geopolitical foes, with nothing but outright lies and propaganda and misinformation, especially with the onset of AI tools that are available.
[00:05:39]  You have countries like Russia and China and Iran and the Qataris and others that are known to be flooding American social media, specifically targeting young people and pushing what is a very anti-Semitic message.
[00:05:57]  And they try to flood the zone to create the impression that this is a widespread belief.
[00:06:02]  It's like the legacy media mob would have you believe that MAGA is not pro-Donald Trump in this effort in Iran, and nothing could be further from the truth.
[00:06:13]  I checked in with Matt Towery, Robert Cahaley, Insider Advantage, and Trafalgar, respectively, and then both of them said, no, they're dead wrong.
[00:06:24]  95% of MAGA fully, completely supports the president.
[00:06:27]  Now, there are some that may cling to isolationism or their own agenda, whatever it happens to be, but that is not the prevailing view.
[00:06:36]  And although they'd have you believe it.
[00:06:38]  Now, why are they targeting young people?
[00:06:40]  Because young people, just to be very frank, are a little bit more susceptible.
[00:06:44]  If you look at why is it these kids, they get bullied online.
[00:06:48]  Why do they become depressed?
[00:06:50]  Why are there instances kids get so depressed that they want to kill themselves and in some cases attempt to because it is so vicious and so vile and so cancerous?
[00:07:01]  Then you've got a whole other group of people.
[00:07:03]  And those are the lunatics, the anonymous keyboard warriors, as I affectionately refer to them in their parents' basement and their underwear or naked, just putting out vile, hateful comments all day long on anything that they want to comment on.
[00:07:22]  And that is a big influence.
[00:07:23]  And this is all they do all day.
[00:07:25]  They need to get a life.
[00:07:26]  They need to get a job.
[00:07:28]  And then you have other people that are influencers that have some type of financial relationships with outside entities in some cases.
[00:07:38]  And they're pushing an agenda for money.
[00:07:40]  I mean, all of these forces combined represents a world that is imaginary and not real.
[00:07:47]  And so I say all that to you, especially parents that have young kids at home, you know, to be very, very careful because that is a very real, you know, it's a propaganda tool and it's being used by America's geopolitical foes and by people that have these agendas.

=== Pentagon Opens Strait of Hormuz (04:47) ===

[00:08:04]  By the way, we are going to get into later in the program Pentagon now using high-tech next-generation attack aircraft to completely reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:08:17]  This is new and it is advanced and they're providing enhanced provision firepower for its fighters to keep open the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:08:26]  But other things are happening as well.
[00:08:28]  I mean, the Saudis, for example, would normally use the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:08:33]  They're not using the Strait of Hormuz right now.
[00:08:35]  They were smart enough, strategic enough, to build a pipeline so that they have another outlet venue that doesn't have to go through that strait to get their oil to whatever part of the world that they're sending it to.
[00:08:49]  That is just smart.
[00:08:50]  President Trump announcing that the U.S. will begin tapping America's strategic petroleum reserves, and the move will add 172 million barrels of oil to U.S. supplies.
[00:09:03]  Understand that markets are historically very skittish and understand too that Iran thinks that this is the one thing, one way to get public opinion back on their side if the price of oil temporarily goes up.
[00:09:17]  But with the president adopting, we are a net exporter of energy.
[00:09:20]  We're not an importer of energy.
[00:09:22]  We have all of our energy needs that can be met here.
[00:09:26]  But with that said, we do need to build out new energy infrastructure.
[00:09:30]  You know, in this country, we have not built a new refinery in over 50 years.
[00:09:35]  The president announcing a $300 billion Texas refinery.
[00:09:41]  It's in Brownsville, Texas.
[00:09:43]  It involves Indian partners in which our Native American partners in what President Trump calls a $300 billion historic deal.
[00:09:51]  That is great.
[00:09:51]  America's returning to real energy dominance.
[00:09:55]  And this is something that the left just steadfastly has been against.
[00:09:58]  Remember, it was Biden that tapped the strategic petroleum reserves because in early 22, the price of gasoline on average was over $5 a gallon nationally.
[00:10:10]  I mean, just insane amounts of money.
[00:10:12]  Why?
[00:10:13]  Because, well, if you ask Kamala, her answer was, well, that's just the cost of doing business.
[00:10:18]  Well, it doesn't have to be.
[00:10:20]  And they just were clinging to this notion, this idea of green energy and buying into climate alarmism.
[00:10:27]  And as a result, it's been costing us a fortune.
[00:10:30]  And just so you know, as of today, the price of a gallon of gasoline is still, in spite of all of this and the disruption that has taken place, it's still 6 cents a gallon cheaper.
[00:10:42]  You're not going to hear that in the legacy media mob.
[00:10:46]  They're just not going to tell you.
[00:10:48]  And then you look at, what is it, the IEE is now going to put out, what, an additional 300, 400 barrels, 400 million barrels of global oil reserves are going to be released into the marketplace as well.
[00:11:02]  This is what it's for.
[00:11:04]  It's not for what Joe Biden used it for because they had high gas prices.
[00:11:08]  It was a big issue, affordability going into the 2022 midterms.
[00:11:14]  And they just rated our strategic petroleum reserves as a means of lowering the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump because their policies caused all of this.
[00:11:27]  They would have preferred to tell you and have the ability to tell you what car you can and cannot put in your driveway.
[00:11:35]  So we're watching this very, very closely.
[00:11:38]  But I can tell you, look, a lot of this is made demonstrably worse.
[00:11:45]  I think it was Charles Gasperino that pointed this out.
[00:11:48]  David Osmond talked about it last night on TV by a bunch of high-profile hedge funds.
[00:11:55]  And these trading sources, you know, all Monday had the same trades in the oil future markets, and they all used the similar AI-inspired algorithms to set risk parameters designed to prevent any significant trading losses.
[00:12:11]  But when on Sunday the initial headlines began to cross of a possible prolonged conflict, although all evidence is to the contrary that we're way ahead of schedule, the algorithms kicked in at once, sending oil prices through the roof.
[00:12:25]  One Wall Street trader who was in the middle of this insanity said this is pretty crazy.
[00:12:30]  And once the price of oil broke through their risk parameters, it was game on.
[00:12:36]  And this is where Wall Street can be a net negative to Main Street.
[00:12:41]  And I've just never loved the, to me, it's always been gambling, Wall Street.
[00:12:46]  I've really, I never particularly loved a lot of the investment culture that exists there.
[00:12:51]  Just don't.

=== Wall Street Gambling vs Main Street (15:33) ===

[00:12:52]  They don't produce much.
[00:12:53]  They just move money around.
[00:12:54]  And if you put your money with them, they're always taking a piece, whether you're buying or selling.
[00:12:58]  They get a piece, And they don't care really what the net outcome is as long as they meet their goals and get their bonuses at the end of the year.
[00:13:11]  We are watching the American, you know, we have just wiped out every aspect of the Iranian military.
[00:13:19]  What to watch for next in this, I would say, is what remains because the president says not a lot of targets left.
[00:13:27]  One has to be the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
[00:13:30]  It has to be.
[00:13:32]  Because if the Iranian people are to have any chance, and Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump both have said, the moment is getting near where your destiny will be in your hands.
[00:13:43]  President Trump said, this is a once-in-a-a-generation opportunity.
[00:13:47]  Don't let it pass.
[00:13:49]  Don't seize this moment.
[00:13:51]  The fact that the fate of Iran, you know, and it all had to do with the desire of this regime.
[00:13:57]  They learned nothing from Operation Midnight Hammer.
[00:13:59]  They just want to keep going.
[00:14:01]  It was a good post by Rod Martin.
[00:14:03]  I don't know who this guy is.
[00:14:04]  I don't, but it was very well done.
[00:14:06]  There is no MAGA divide on Iran.
[00:14:10]  You know, last week, I told you, Fox found 98% self-identified MAGA support the president on Iran.
[00:14:17]  Now comes the mainstream meeting.
[00:14:19]  He points out polls from NBC, fake news, CNN, predictably find more dissent, but they couldn't even find as much as they wanted.
[00:14:28]  They're still at like 90%.
[00:14:29]  The America-only crowd on social media, they are talking to itself.
[00:14:34]  The isolationist, anti-Semitic, you know, lunatics, they're all talking to themselves, and they think that they're all smart, and yet they would.
[00:14:42]  Burden your children and your grandchildren with a likely possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran.
[00:14:47]  That was explained in great detail, as I've been talking about for two days now with my interview with Steve Witkoff, that they had 60%.
[00:14:55]  They had enough for 10 bombs, 11 bombs, 60% enriched uranium, which can get to weapons grade in seven to 10 days.
[00:15:02]  Okay, the president said they can't have nuclear weapons.
[00:15:05]  You either agree with that or don't.
[00:15:06]  I agree with them.
[00:15:07]  Not complicated to me.
[00:15:09]  Really amazing stuff.
[00:15:11]  Now, we're still monitoring the situation on the ground in Michigan, but it seems that we have the details of this story.
[00:15:21]  And I just want to say this.
[00:15:24]  Thank God, I mean, think about this, Linda.
[00:15:28]  It's pretty profound that the FBI had an FBI active shooting drill at this very synagogue only six weeks ago.
[00:15:39]  And it shows you how we're preparing for a worst case scenario.
[00:15:43]  This is what scares me the most.
[00:15:45]  And Linda brought it up during the break.
[00:15:47]  And I've been saying it forever.
[00:15:49]  Is we know under Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, the big lie, there are two big lies.
[00:15:54]  One, Joe's cognitively functioning.
[00:15:57]  He wasn't.
[00:15:58]  Two, the border's closed and the border's secure.
[00:16:01]  We saw that every day with our own eyes, and they just flat out lied to us.
[00:16:06]  And we have 12 plus, we don't know the exact number, illegal immigrants, including Godaway, you can add gottaways.
[00:16:13]  We don't have any clue how many of them we have, that have made it into our country.
[00:16:19]  Over 200 countries they came from.
[00:16:21]  And, you know, why would somebody in Egypt or Iran be making their way to our southern border?
[00:16:27]  And these are many countries that have terror ties.
[00:16:30]  And as a result, Americans have sacrificed dearly.
[00:16:35]  And we have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters, other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, and drug dealers.
[00:16:45]  I've been pointing this out forever.
[00:16:47]  Democrats couldn't even stand at the President's State of the Union address over the issue of: can we all agree, if you agree, stand and applaud that the first role of this government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.
[00:17:05]  With the exception of John Fetterman, they all sat on their hands.
[00:17:10]  Disgusting.
[00:17:12]  Just following the joint session speech from last year, they couldn't stand for the families of Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nungari killed by Biden-Harris, Mayorkis, illegals that apparently somehow got through our closed border and secure border, as they claim.
[00:17:28]  It was a lie.
[00:17:30]  Democrats couldn't stand for their families.
[00:17:32]  Lake and Riley, brutally murdered, nursing student, out jogging.
[00:17:37]  Jocelyn Nungari, 12 years old, brutally raped, brutally murdered.
[00:17:43]  Her body thrown in a body of water.
[00:17:47]  I mean, just horrible.
[00:17:49]  His poor wife, Alexis.
[00:17:51]  My goodness.
[00:17:52]  I'm sorry, poor mother, Alexis, who's just been on this program.
[00:17:57]  I never, Rachel Morin, mother of five.
[00:18:01]  Those kids will never see their mom again.
[00:18:04]  Talk to their mom.
[00:18:04]  I talked to Rachel's mom.
[00:18:06]  It's terrible.
[00:18:08]  By the way, we do have an update on another story.
[00:18:12]  There was a report out yesterday, ABC News, warning that Iran could possibly launch drones against the West Coast.
[00:18:21]  There's a lot of nuance and detail to this that we just found out today, thanks to Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
[00:18:28]  Her statement on social media came after ABC said the FBI had warned law enforcement in California that the Middle Eastern country wanted to retaliate for the U.S.-Israeli joint attacks by launching drones.
[00:18:43]  ABC News cited, quote, an alert it reviewed.
[00:18:47]  But Caroline clarified all this today and said that the Post and the story should be immediately retracted because the outlet provided false information to intentionally alarm the American people.
[00:19:00]  Now, it is a real clear present danger.
[00:19:02]  We know there are known terrorists in this country.
[00:19:06]  And I don't know if the incident is that happened, for example, outside of Gracie Mansion.
[00:19:14]  These are local kids inspired by ISIS videos, ISIS-inspired guys that had IEDs that they built.
[00:19:22]  I'll never forget when I first saw that you can find online or you were able to buy a book that was called the Anarchist Cookbook.
[00:19:31]  In that book, I reported this 20 years ago.
[00:19:34]  They gave you chapter and verse details how to build bombs.
[00:19:39]  I'm not sure that that book should be in print.
[00:19:41]  Annedity, you're for book burning.
[00:19:43]  No, I'm just not providing information for people to build bombs.
[00:19:47]  I don't think that's a particularly smart thing to do, and I'm very pro Second Amendment.
[00:19:52]  However, what American's going to need a bomb?
[00:19:56]  And these guys in New York City, for example, said to police, not only were they on tape saying Allahu Akbar, but they were also on tape.
[00:20:05]  They had been radicalized online.
[00:20:07]  This is what I've been warning you about with parents.
[00:20:09]  You got to pay attention.
[00:20:10]  What are your kids watching online?
[00:20:13]  Understand that there are influencers out there that have agendas.
[00:20:18]  There are foreign countries that are targeting your kids with fake information.
[00:20:23]  They're trying to create a next generation of Americans that want to be either an isolationist or anti-Semitic.
[00:20:30]  That is very real.
[00:20:31]  Then you've got the keyboard anonymous warriors in their underwear living in their parents' basement.
[00:20:36]  They're psycho.
[00:20:37]  It's a cancerous culture online.
[00:20:40]  And that's why I never go there and never really pay attention to it.
[00:20:43]  I just don't care.
[00:20:45]  But I'm an adult, and I also chose to be a public figure.
[00:20:48]  So whatever is said about me is pretty much fair game.
[00:20:52]  I mean, just what Linda says on this program about me is bad enough.
[00:20:55]  Good grief.
[00:20:57]  Good grief is nothing.
[00:20:58]  Come on.
[00:20:59]  You know I'm good to you.
[00:21:00]  Come on.
[00:21:02]  Okay.
[00:21:03]  Now moving on.
[00:21:06]  Wow.
[00:21:07]  Man, it is rough in this room.
[00:21:08]  No, you could be great on Sunday, but occasionally, you know, out comes the hate Linda.
[00:21:14]  And that part of your personality is, oh.
[00:21:17]  I love my rest.
[00:21:18]  My resting place is the hate Linda.
[00:21:20]  The hate list.
[00:21:21]  The hate list.
[00:21:22]  The hate list exists for a reason.
[00:21:24]  It's your Bible.
[00:21:27]  You're a Christian.
[00:21:28]  Good grief.
[00:21:29]  You've never been better since you really have embraced your faith.
[00:21:32]  And I applaud you for it.
[00:21:33]  For everybody has to.
[00:21:35]  I always embrace my faith.
[00:21:37]  Second of all, God made me in his image so that I can't.
[00:21:39]  Well, you had a resurgence a number of years ago.
[00:21:42]  You did.
[00:21:42]  We talked about it.
[00:21:44]  That's true.
[00:21:45]  I had some experiences in life that I had to go to a higher power, so I did.
[00:21:49]  But that doesn't mean the people down here that are supposed to be hated shouldn't be hated.
[00:21:53]  I still hate them.
[00:21:55]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:21:56]  Does it ever happen to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul?
[00:22:01]  Your neighbor is yourself.
[00:22:02]  If somebody hits you on one cheek.
[00:22:04]  I hate my neighbor.
[00:22:05]  That would be so awkward.
[00:22:06]  I can't do that.
[00:22:07]  So weird.
[00:22:08]  He's such a jerk.
[00:22:10]  I don't know.
[00:22:11]  Somebody slaps my cheek.
[00:22:12]  I think I'm slap him back harder twice as hard.
[00:22:15]  I'm trying to knock him out.
[00:22:16]  He's going down.
[00:22:18]  Okay.
[00:22:19]  Does you sound like a real tough guy?
[00:22:21]  But anyway, back to Caroline Levitt.
[00:22:24]  They cited an alert that they reviewed.
[00:22:27]  The outlet provided false information to intentionally alarm the American people, but this does not mean it's not a real threat.
[00:22:33]  And, you know, I don't know what when we get to the bottom of the motivation behind this.
[00:22:37]  I'm sure it's not good.
[00:22:38]  But then she said they wrote all of this based on one email that was sent to a local law enforcement in California about a single unverified tip.
[00:22:47]  And the email even states the tip was based on unverified intelligence at ABC News left out this critical fact in their story.
[00:22:56]  He asked the question, why?
[00:22:58]  To be clear, no such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.
[00:23:04]  Now, sleeper cells are something that we've all talked about and have to worry about.
[00:23:08]  That's just a reality.
[00:23:10]  And you know what?
[00:23:11]  I've always said it's a matter of when, not if, and that I pray to God I'm wrong.
[00:23:18]  Have I ever not said it that way, Linda?
[00:23:20]  And I don't know if this Austin case, you know, we don't know.
[00:23:25]  And I just urge everyone to please be on guard at all times.
[00:23:29]  You need a safety security plan.
[00:23:31]  I don't talk about Berner and Sig Sauer and Simply Safe Home Security for my health.
[00:23:38]  They are partners on this show for a reason because I believe in their product.
[00:23:43]  We don't just endorse anybody in anything.
[00:23:45]  We've turned down many people that want to be on this program.
[00:23:50]  The new supreme leader, one article says it's absolute fiction, that they insist they have this new ruler, the supreme leader, the son of the old supreme leader, who the old supreme leader wrote in his will didn't want to ever be supreme leader, but apparently may be unconscious in a hospital bed.
[00:24:08]  No one voted for him anyway.
[00:24:10]  The Iranian Revolutionary Guard had to push him through, but sources, you know, there's been a lot of blackout, but they actually named where they think this guy is.
[00:24:20]  I would assume that American intelligence and the Mossad and Israeli intelligence probably know where he is, but nobody even knows if he's alive.
[00:24:32]  Other reports that he's been seriously injured.
[00:24:34]  They don't know if it was the same attack that killed his father and his top 40 associates.
[00:24:44]  Here's a sad story that was in.
[00:24:47]  It was an article.
[00:24:47]  I don't know who wrote it, but it was in the Boston Herald.
[00:24:51]  Oh, here it is.
[00:24:52]  Veteran political reporter Peter Lucas.
[00:24:55]  And he wrote, Democrats, the only friends that Iran has.
[00:24:59]  Well, I'd probably add to that the anti-Semite lunatics that are not as big in number as you would believe.
[00:25:06]  And then, of course, the isolationist cult that exists that misinterprets the Trump doctrine.
[00:25:14]  They obviously have no knowledge of Donald Trump's actions, but putting that aside, and the Democrats.
[00:25:21]  I mean, when Hakeem Jeff, we're going to lose this war.
[00:25:23]  I mean, who would ever say something like that when Americans are in harm's way?
[00:25:28]  You know, if he was hosting a fundraiser for the Democratic Party, talking about the now dead Supreme Leader, may he rot in hell and pieces.
[00:25:37]  I think it was John Kennedy that said, the senator from Louisiana.
[00:25:42]  Anyway, but they vote to shut down the war with Iran, that the U.S. is winning.
[00:25:49]  Now, it doesn't mean that we don't have difficulties ahead.
[00:25:52]  We do.
[00:25:52]  It doesn't mean any of this is easy.
[00:25:54]  It's hard.
[00:25:55]  All of it's hard.
[00:25:57]  But I want to add one thing.
[00:25:59]  To me, this came down to a simple choice for this country, and that is, and I agree with the Trump doctrine.
[00:26:07]  I've explained why repeatedly I agree with the Trump doctrine.
[00:26:10]  I'll explain it at some point during the program in more detail why I believe in it.
[00:26:14]  But the bottom line is this: either you recognize that Iran with a nuclear weapon is a clear and present danger to the United States of America, maybe not an immediate one, but it would be down the road, and that we have an opportunity to take it out to avoid a modern-day Holocaust, the potential of a modern-day Holocaust, or you don't.
[00:26:39]  I'm never going to bother debating people.
[00:26:42]  I'm not going to, there's no point in arguing against stupid, and there are a lot of stupid people.
[00:26:51]  You know, our obligation as a generation is to make sure that the next generation of Americans, that we hand off this country better off than we inherited it, if at all possible.
[00:27:06]  That means the best economy.
[00:27:07]  That means we've got to reduce the debt.
[00:27:09]  And hopefully, we'll start economic growth that will expand.
[00:27:13]  Income already to the government is much higher than anticipated.
[00:27:17]  But we have a long way to go.
[00:27:18]  And I think we'll starting to see the signs of this.
[00:27:22]  And then also to hand off a safer world.
[00:27:27]  Ask yourself if the world is better off because Donald Trump took out the ISIS caliphate, convert or die.
[00:27:36]  Is America better off?
[00:27:37]  Is that better for your children and grandchildren?
[00:27:39]  Is it better that he took out Soleimani and Baghdadi and associates?
[00:27:43]  Is America better off?
[00:27:45]  Is it safer for your children and grandchildren?
[00:27:47]  Is it better that the president showed he'd use massive force, dropping the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan?
[00:27:55]  Operation Midnight Hammer, 14 bunker busters wiping out their ability to enrich uranium.
[00:28:02]  Is it better for America and for your children and their future?
[00:28:07]  And is this Operation Epic Fury that hopefully will result in an opportunity for the people of Iran to take over and change their lives forever?
[00:28:17]  Is it better for America and the world and your children and grandchildren?
[00:28:23]  I think the answer is obvious.
