Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: War with Iran Splinters MAGA Coalition: Trump Demands "SURRENDER"
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, folks, welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for being with us.
This is the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell, and as always, we can't do the program without you watching every single day.
Boy, are things moving fast as we go down this path, this all-too-familiar path that leads to war and death in the Middle East.
And things are moving at such a fluid pace, it's very difficult to keep up.
I write the titles of the show, you know, and we do that an hour, maybe two hours before we go on the air, you know, so a lot of things can get done behind the scenes and then things are so fluid that things change incredibly.
So now, you know, some of the titles are actually conflicting depending on which broadcast you're watching this on.
Donald Trump has declared or demanded the unconditional surrender.
From the country, from the nation-state of Iran.
Something that is also in a previous truth that he put over on Truth Social says that they're not going to kill the Iranian Supreme Leader yet.
They're going to hold off on that.
We've got all of that for you and more.
And what does this mean for the Make America Great Again movement?
There are splinters in what was a historic political coalition that we are watching unfold before us.
We have splinters now between Trump and Steve Bannon, Trump and Tucker Carlson, Trump and Elon Musk, Trump and Tulsi Gabbard.
We'll talk more about the Tulsi Gabbard one here in just a moment as well.
We've got a full slate of stuff to get to, but just what's my take off the top of my head?
Well, I think just objectively speaking, if you're just looking at this from the 30,000-foot view, we don't have tax cuts.
We don't have the type of doge cuts that we want.
We're no longer talking about abolishing the IRS and creating the external revenue service and ending the internal revenue service.
We don't get any of those things.
Apparently, until we go to war in the Middle East.
And that's what the pressure is all about.
Now, we're going to read for you because, look, it's impossible to look at this situation and not see that America is neck deep in what's going on right now between Israel and Iran because...
At the same time, we are the ones that use our taxpayer dollars to arm Israel with their weaponry.
So that is what is going on right now.
And it's impossible to ignore that fact.
That's a fact.
The question is, is that what you voted for?
It's not what I voted for.
We've been at war in the Middle East.
Basically my entire life.
And they're actually doing something pretty clever right now.
They're actually turning, and I actually think this is a sign of desperation.
I think it's a sign that they know the American people are not with them on this.
They're using our language against us.
Have you heard the phrase, end forever wars?
I have.
We say it all the time.
No more forever wars.
No more this lifetime of being in the Middle East, whether it's Iraq, whether it's Syria, whether it's regime change in Libya, or being in Afghanistan for 20 years.
And we, of course, know how that turned out.
Now, Benjamin Netanyahu and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, and there's probably more, Benjamin Netanyahu is now saying they have to end the forever war, but the forever war has actually been going on for 40 years with Iran funding their proxies.
Which, look, I don't doubt that Iran funds proxies.
I don't doubt that at all.
I also reject this binary choice where, you know, if you don't want war, then you somehow want, then you somehow, so you love Iran?
No, I don't love Iran.
I reject that choice entirely.
But they're now using our language against us.
And they're doing this because they know how effective peace is, or the message of peace is.
That's why they're doing this.
So you've got a lot of people on the right that are against the forever wars, but now we're being told, as we'll see when we go through a lot of these ex-posts, now we're being told that the real forever war is Iran and what they've been doing with terrorism for the last 40 years, and that's what we're doing this for.
We're actually doing this, you know, don't believe your lying eyes.
We're actually doing this to end the forever wars that you care so much about.
It's really, really sneaky, and it's really rhetorical sleight of hand, in my opinion.
And I think it's a sign that they know that the American people do not want endless war.
Now, we're going to wait and see how this plays out.
There's no point in being despair.
Let me tell you this this morning or this afternoon.
There's no point in despairing.
There's no point.
Do not despair.
We have hope.
The Lord Jesus Christ is on his throne right now, reigning and ruling, and all of this belongs to him.
But there is a point.
It is a good thing.
If you've got objections with what's going on, if you don't want more war, if you want peace instead of war, if you want peace instead of bloodshed, there's nothing wrong with you expressing that.
And having a healthy skepticism of the same foreign policy that has been predominant my entire life, there's nothing wrong.
Be loud about it, but don't be angry about it.
Honestly, is what I would say, because I don't think there's any point in your day being ruined by what these elites are doing in our name.
But I do think...
There is now basically what I would consider a propaganda campaign to resell the MAGA base on why this war is necessary.
And I just think if we go back and look at what...
So I would like to know the difference.
And this is where the Trump administration actually...
Between what Trump said and criticized in Saudi Arabia last month and what we are doing right now.
Is there a difference?
Maybe there is.
Certainly if there's a difference, it's extremely nuanced.
But maybe there is.
Maybe there is some substantive difference.
Something tells me that we're not going to get that explanation.
We'll see.
JD Vance, I think, is trying to do just that.
Let me refresh.
Donald Trump's Truth Social here.
Yep, still says unconditional surrender.
Before we go any further, I want you to know that this portion of the broadcast is brought to you by redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
That is my link where you can get 15% off these life-changing red light panels.
This audience has been taking advantage of extra sale.
Obviously, the Father's Day sale is now over, but you can still get these panels.
You can still go.
And check out the research for yourself because it's incredible.
And I've got a personal testimony that I'll share with you here in a minute later on in this segment where we will tell you more about the healing power of red light therapy.
Okay, here we go.
Let's go to Donald Trump and his post over here.
This is what's really driving things.
47 minutes ago, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, quote, unconditional surrender.
He did this right after.
He did this three minutes after he said this.
We know exactly where the so-called supreme leader is hiding.
He's in an easy target, but is safe there.
We're not going to take him out.
Kill.
At least not for now.
But we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers.
Our patience is wearing thin.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
So as the United States moves assets that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claims are defensive assets...
Of course, it could quickly change into offense, and you might argue that moving them there is an offensive move in and of itself.
I mean, I've played chess before.
I've played risk before.
I've played settlers of Catan before.
I know what offense versus defense is.
But, you know, I get it.
This is happening while...
Which would bring us into the war.
Whether it's our military bases, whether it's the USS Nisbet, by the way, which I believe some people have described as a bucket of bolts.
I don't know if that's the case, but it is an old ship and it's scheduled to be decommissioned.
And then we also, with all of this, like this is what I don't understand about the Weapons of Mass Destruction 2.0.
It's like there are some people that...
It's like some people are living in some bubble where they just magically are going to believe whatever they're told and refuse.
I've said this before, but false flags are used or lies are used to fight wars and have been for forever.
They make movies about them.
Matter of fact, the movie The Princess Bride, which is a very popular film made by leftist wacko Rob Reiner.
That whole movie is based on the idea of a false flag.
The entire film, the whole basis of the plot is that they're going to kill the princess and blame it on another country so that the king or the prince can go to war with this country they want to go to war with.
That's the whole point.
This is how wars are fought all the time throughout history.
And so, you know...
It's very important to make sure that you actually have the moral high ground.
So let's go through some of these.
Sorry, I'm not prepared here.
I'm telling you, everything is moving so quickly, and it's very difficult to keep up right now.
So yeah, we already talked about that.
President Trump said he knows exactly where the Iranian Ayatollah is.
They're not going to kill him for now.
So Jack Posobiec writes this, because now this is no longer about nuclear weapons.
It's very important we understand this.
This is no longer about nuclear weapons.
Now it's about regime change, which is exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu has wanted this entire time.
Not just in Iran, but Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, all of that.
Um, And by the way, it looks like the negotiating table.
I don't even know.
I mean, now he's wanting you to negotiate your complete and total surrender.
So at that point, do you have anything to lose?
Why not just start firing rockets at American military bases at that point?
And then what happens with Russia and China, which really, the only person that I have seen even talk about Russia and China is Bill O 'Reilly, of all people.
Jack Posobiec, regime change, recent scorecard, Iraq, chaos, death, Shia take power, Syria, refugees, flood Europe, ISIS, Afghanistan, Taliban won, got our equipment, Libya, Benghazi.
Refugees, flood into Europe, Ukraine, massive war, countless deaths.
Yeah, this is our foreign policy, which just serves to destabilize all of the regions we go into, and as we project the exact same hubris and pride that Donald Trump correctly stated at Saudi Arabia just last month.
Which was a huge rebuke of the neocons.
And it was so bad.
And this is why, this is a tit-for-tat in the first year of Trump 2.0.
This is tit-for-tat, tit-for-tat.
Because you have these victories.
You get somebody like a Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who is not a neocon.
And what do they do?
They freeze her out of the talks at Camp David.
And now Trump is dismissing her report that she gave back in March, saying that they don't believe that Iran is about to have the bomb.
And it's just this back and forth.
Back when Trump went on that tour to Saudi Arabia, people like Mark Levin were having a conniption fit.
People like Mark Levin were calling out Steve Whitcoff for using the word neocon, claiming that you can't use that word because that's anti-Semitic, which is absolutely insane and preposterous.
And now Mark Levin is the happiest perhaps he has ever been in his entire career because of the moves and the things that are transpiring in the Middle East.
Because this war has gone hot.
But does anyone ever answer for this?
Does anyone ever answer for this?
And the answer is no, because the people that make these decisions, they never are held accountable.
And this is the one thing.
By the way, these regime change scorecards are the one thing the folks in Washington, D.C., Democrat and Republican, can somehow, miraculously, agree on.
That this foreign policy is actually good for you, and you should like it.
Regardless of the fact, by the way, as I said earlier, all of this is happening before we get tax cuts, before we get the supposed abolition of the IRS, before we actually see COVID criminals be prosecuted and go to jail, before we see people that tampered with our election.
Before we see the Epstein files.
Ah, yeah, no Epstein files.
We've got to go to war in the Middle East first.
Or we've got to get involved in it.
J.D. Vance.
J.D. Vance is trying to hear...
I mean, that's part of the gig.
But here is his take, and it's certainly trying to carve a nuance path.
That's the goal here.
Whether you buy it or not is up to you.
J.D. Vance attempting to carve a nuanced path through all of this mess because he knows.
He hears you.
He hears people like me and you.
Probably not me.
It's a small show.
But he hears the general backlash that's going on right now among the MAGA coalition that was one of the most historic American political coalitions ever created and how it is disintegrating before our eyes.
J.D. Vance, look, he says.
I'm seeing this from the inside and am admittedly biased toward our president.
Good for him to admit that, because obviously that's the case.
He also says, and my friend, meaning he and Trump are friends, so he's admittedly biased, he says.
But there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue.
First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent over 10 years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal.
The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment, and he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways, the easy way or the other way.
Now, right after this was posted, Charlie Kirk posted this video of Donald Trump 10 years ago.
We're going to pipe this in and listen to this.
I will stop Iran.
From getting nuclear weapons.
And we won't be using a man like Secretary Kerry that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who's making a horrible and laughable deal, who's just being tapped along as they make weapons right now.
Okay, so that was immediate.
And I wonder how long that clip's been ready to go in response to J.D. Vance's tweet, but I digress.
He goes on.
First, J.D. Vance says, Okay, we already read that part.
Forgive me.
Forgive me for being scatterbrained.
I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of civilian nuclear power and uranium enrichment.
These are distinct issues.
Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that.
Meanwhile, they've enriched uranium far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose.
They've been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is hardly a right-wing organization, he says.
He goes on, it's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy, it's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity, and it's still another thing, another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.
He goes on, I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use.
I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its nonproliferation obligations.
I've yet to see a single good pushback against IAEA's findings.
Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.
He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment.
That decision ultimately belongs to the president.
And, of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.
But I believe the President has earned some trust on this issue, and having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals.
Whatever he does, that is his focus.
Well, let's hope that that's the case, but is that what we're seeing?
Okay.
Huh.
Again, What I would like to hear from J.D. Vance, or the President of the United States, is when you go back and you look at Donald Trump and his speech in Saudi Arabia, rebuking the globalists and the neocons, what is the difference in what we are doing now or what it looks like we're about to do?
And what he rebuked in Saudi Arabia on the world stage, specifically about the hubris and pride of American elites that thought Muslim civilizations were a technical step lower than our advanced civilization, and so we should have no problem dealing with them and socially engineering their societies the way we see fit.
What's the difference?
And then also, what's the difference between weapons of mass destruction and this new nuclear threat?
That's right, it was Owen Stroyer.
You can rebrand, repackage, and try to sell us another war in the Middle East, but no one serious is buying, and the result will be the same.
What makes it worse is we get a Middle East intervention before tax cuts, mass deportations, deep state arrests, Epstein lists, JFK files, doge cuts.
Here's somebody on X named The Savior reminding us that the script never changes and has kind of a montage of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Here's Benjamin Netanyahu in 1982.
If you take away the Soviet Union and its chief proxy, the PLO, International terrorism would collapse.
If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the regime.
Obviously, we'd like to see a regime change, at least I would, in Iran, just as I would like to see in Iraq.
The question now is a practical question.
What is the best place to proceed?
It's not a question of whether Iraq's regime should be taken out, but when should it be taken out.
It's not a question of whether you'd like to see a regime change in Iran, but how do it...
The answer is categorically yes.
The two nations that are vying, competing with each other, who will be the first to achieve nuclear weapons is Iraq and Iran.
A third nation, by the way, is Libya as well.
Libya is trying very rapidly to build an atomic bomb capability.
So you have here now three nations.
All stand together to stop Iran's march of conquest, subjugation, and terror.
No matter on which side of the aisle you sit, you stand with Israel.
applause And when you think that, you know, people that are from my generation, you know, I'm about to turn 41. And so, you know, he said that first clip in 82. So I was born two years later.
And you just see these conflicts historically, how it's unfolded.
And this is just the constant.
This is just a constant thing.
Where Americans are expected, there's some obligation that is enforced that we're expected to go over there, and it's basically been my entire life that this is the status quo.
There are people that point out that this doesn't have to be this way, and then those people, of course, oh, so you must love Iran.
No, no, I don't.
I don't love Iran.
You must want Iran to nuke Israel.
No, certainly don't want that.
I don't want bloodshed.
I don't want that at all.
Well, you're just some sort of isolationist.
No, I'm somebody who doesn't trust what we are being told based on a long historical record of people lying.
To get America to fight their wars for them.
That's what I am recognizing.
Going to war is a very serious thing, obviously.
Now on this, Donald Trump also posted this on Truth Social, a very long text from the ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
He says, Butler, Pennsylvania, to be the most consequential president in a century, maybe ever.
The decisions on your shoulders, he writes, I would not want, I would not, sorry this is hard for me to read because it's so, I would not want to be made by anyone else.
He goes on, you have many voices speaking, many voices speaking to you, sir, but there is only one voice that matters, his voice.
Now, full stop.
I certainly agree with that, that really God's opinion on any subject is all that is the primary focus, should be anyway.
But he goes on.
He says, I am your appointed servant in this land and arm available for you, but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts.
No president in my lifetime has been in a position like yours, not since Truman in 1945.
Ooh, wow.
Okay.
What are we talking about?
We're talking about Harry Truman who dropped the bomb?
He says, It is my honor to serve you, Mike Huckabee.
So here is the deal, because obviously I know there's a lot of people who, you know, the folks in the MAGA movement who don't want new wars.
They're not necessarily a fan of Mike Huckabee.
But what I will say is this.
I do still believe we, I mean, 100%, I think what scripture commands it, we should pray for President Trump to have wisdom, to be given wisdom, to know what to do in this situation.
Regardless of what, you know, regardless of what you think is going to happen or what or how mad you are of what already has happened.
We need to appeal for them to know.
The Lord Jesus Christ, and if that's not the case, we need to ask for godly Christian counselors to be around them and that their wisdom, heavenly wisdom, would be heeded as well.
So, eschatological end times disagreements aside, because I'm pretty sure I know where Mike Huckabee falls on the dispensational eschatological debate.
All that aside, pray for President Trump.
That's the only reason I put this slide up here.
I saw it and I said, we need to pray.
This audience needs to pray.
Pray for peace.
Pray for wisdom.
And how can anyone disagree with that, regardless of where you are on this issue?
But here we go.
I mean, again, somebody explain to me what we're doing now.
How is it different from this?
Here is the classic Trump debate clip where he owned Jeb Bush over weapons of mass destruction.
Listen.
They lied.
They said there were weapons of mass destruction.
There were none.
And they knew there were none.
There were no weapons of mass destruction.
Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake.
All right?
Now, you can take it any way you want, and it took just— He went back.
It was a mistake.
It wasn't a mistake.
It took him five days before his people told him what to say.
And he ultimately said it was a mistake.
The war in Iraq, we spent $2 trillion, thousands of lives.
We don't even have it.
Iran is taking over Iraq with the second largest oil reserves in the world.
Obviously, it was a mistake.
George Bush made a mistake.
We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty.
We should have never been in Iraq.
We have destabilized the Middle East.
So, again, honest question.
Maybe there's somebody out there that can carve out the nuance of substance.
What's the difference between that and this?
And I guess they'll say, well, I mean, you know, they've got a nuclear weapon.
Or they were days away.
But here's the deal.
If you go back and you look at some of these, some of these clips suggest that we've been days away from having a nuclear weapon, or Iran's been days away for 20 years.
We just heard, you just heard it.
So we had this.
There's a tanker.
This was three hours ago, probably more than that now, but a tanker.
has been engulfed in flames near the Strait of Hormuz.
Massive oil tanker went up in flames after colliding with Front Eagle in the Gulf of Oman right next to the planet's busiest oil artery.
Tim Pool says here is what he fears about this story, that the U.S. will intervene to secure the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran or Iranian-backed forces will attack U.S. assets and personnel, and the U.S. will then formally enter the war with Iran.
This stuff, I mean, anything could happen.
I mean, literally, as our forces get closer for what Hegseth says are defensive capabilities, the whole thing could come.
The whole thing, at any moment.
Last Thursday, I signed off saying, hey, we're going to open the show talking about the Southern Baptist Convention because I've been trying to do that all week, but I've been so preoccupied with all these riots in Los Angeles that we didn't get to it.
I said, so I promise you, we're going to start the show with that tomorrow.
And then I said, well, unless, I don't know, Israel bombs Iran or something, and then that's exactly what happened.
So, you know, the whole situation is fluid.
It really is a powder keg waiting to happen.
So, earlier I told you that there was this effort to start to use our effective language, meaning people that want peace.
And they want an end to forever wars against us.
And I want to tell you what I mean.
This was Jonathan Karl interviewing Benjamin Netanyahu.
But U.S. officials tell us that the president flatly rejected a plan, an opportunity that you, the Israelis, had to take out the supreme leader.
Do you understand his concern?
My understanding is his concern is that this would escalate the conflict beyond where it is already.
It's not going to escalate the conflict.
It's going to end the conflict.
We've had half a century of conflict spread by this regime that terrorizes everyone in the Middle East, has bombed the Aramco oil fields in Saudi Arabia, is spreading terrorism and subversion and sabotage everywhere.
The forever war is what Iran wants.
The forever war is what Iran wants.
You see what they're doing there?
They think they're very clever here.
They've got a live one.
They've taken the phrase, end forever wars, and they're saying, no, actually, it's Iran that wants forever wars, and Iran has been waging a forever war.
This talking point was immediately seized upon, and I don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg.
Netanyahu's comment or Cotton's comment, but then Senator Tom Cotton says, quote, the forever war is the war.
That Iran has waged against the United States, Israel, and the civilized world since 1979.
You see what he did there?
That's pretty clever, right?
We see what you're doing.
We know what you're doing, Tom.
Anything to sell the American people on the exact same recipe for disaster in the Middle East.
Warn of another disaster.
And the thing is, well, if we hadn't acted, it would have been much worse.
And there's no way we can ever test their hypothesis.
Because they go ahead and do it anyway, and there's no way to ever actually know if what they're saying is true.
It's genius.
And in the meantime, American soldiers' lives are being put at risk, even by the day.
I mean, the more the U.S. gets involved in this conflict, they talk about Iranian proxies.
I want you to think about this.
Because I actually believe the original narrative.
I really do.
I think Donald Trump was in the middle of peace talks, and I think Israel just bombed them anyway because they don't want peace.
And that's what I think actually happened.
So based off that, just hear me out.
The more we get involved in this, people are talking about Iranian proxies or Iranian sleeper cells within the United States being activated.
Now, whether that's actually Iran or a false flag, let's just park that for a second.
Let's just talk about the fact that And there's a very good possibility that that actually happens.
Talking about the potential splintering of the MAGA movement, we had a very interesting exchange yesterday between Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon on his War Room show, and then we had a very interesting exchange where Steve Bannon went on Tucker Carlson's podcast the same day.
So we have a lot of Tucker and Steve Bannon clips to go through.
Here's the one talking about how Benjamin Netanyahu is a Watch.
So, I do think there's a sense in which some of our leaders feel the presence of a physical threat.
I don't think that I know it.
Well, to wit, Trump is two assassination attempts.
Well, at least two.
And you can't have...
Not from Iran.
Not from Iran and for...
That's reaching.
It's too much.
I mean, I do think that Netanyahu could make his case.
By telling the truth, I don't think there's any reason to lie.
Again, that's a lie.
But the point is over here, it's three-card money, it's the gypsies, you know.
Okay.
No, Iran did not try to assassinate the president during the last election.
And by the way, if Iran did try to assassinate Trump, and we know that, Then why are we not at war with Iran?
What are you saying, Bibi?
Are you saying that the President of the United States is such a cuck that a foreign country can try and murder him and he won't do anything about it?
Is that what you're saying?
I mean, if the administration believed Iran was behind two assassination attempts against Donald Trump, trust me, we'd nuke the country.
You can't do it.
You don't know how to murder an American president.
So that's not true.
And everyone knows it's not true.
But what is true is that the American president was murdered.
And we're still not allowed to know who did it and why.
And I just think until that is cleared, and I've never been a Kennedy obsessive or whatever, and I'm not interested in the Kennedys especially.
I'm not Irish.
So it was a good conversation.
We've got a lot to get to here as well.
Let me refresh this next tweet by Trippi here.
Dominic Michael Trippi.
This was yesterday.
So I don't even know.
how much of this is true anymore.
There was a report yesterday that the White House and Iran...
So, who knows?
All bets are off.
White House in Iran discussing potential meeting between U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Ministers Abbas Arakchi in hopes of achieving a ceasefire and nuclear deal.
I don't know.
After the unconditional surrender, who knows?
Owen Shoyer writes that he believes Whitcoff genuinely wants peace.
It's why the war lobbyists attack him.
People like Mark Levin.
Leave Netanyahu out.
Best chance to stop this from getting worse.
Here is J.D. Vance posting this from Donald Trump on Air Force One.
Watch.
What specifically is better than a ceasefire?
What are you looking for here?
An end.
A real end, not a ceasefire.
An end.
So something that will be permanent?
Yeah, or giving up entirely.
So Trump says he wants an end, or he wants Iran to give up entirely.
Again, that was before he truthed, just moments ago.
The only person that I'm actually hearing talk about what Russia and China and the rest of the world think about this, who back Iran, at least for now, is Bill O 'Reilly.
Listen to this interview he gave.
Earlier today, very briefly, I texted with President Trump.
He doesn't want to use American air power at this point because that would cause some problems with China and Putin.
He would rather have the Iranians surrender, which he believes they will.
Now, that's what he believes, that the mullahs are through.
They will have to sign a deal.
The deal will be that the weapons inspectors go in to all of the places that are working on the nuke.
They identify what they have.
And then the Iranians themselves, under supervision of the United Nations, would destroy a lot of their arsenal.
That's what the deal would entail.
Mullahs don't want to do that, obviously, but President Trump believes that will happen.
So if that doesn't happen...
Ah.
And this is fascinating to me.
I'm not going to play this clip of Jon Stewart attacking Posobiec, Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Taylor Greene, but it is fascinating.
Jon Stewart, instead of getting away, and to this, that's just a giant hypocrisy for comedian Jon Stewart.
And those are actually two completely separate issues.
One has to do with whether or not we're a country.
Well, actually, the other one also has to do with whether or not we're an actual country as well.
So Donald Trump tweeting, and also speaking, Donald Trump posted this on Truth Social.
Somebody please explain to Kuki Tucker Carlson that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Who can't stand Donald Trump says, inject this straight into my veins.
She loves that Donald Trump is attacking Tucker Carlson.
We've got the Martyr Maid podcast, Daryl Cooper chiming in saying, say what you want about neocons, but at least they're capable of forgiveness.
Trump spent years repeatedly insulting her dead father, but one war in the Middle East, and she's already angling to be Melania's backup.
Yep, that just kind of shows you.
Oh yeah, I'll forgive all the stuff you said about my dad because you're going to go to war in the Middle East and attack Tucker Carlson.
Here is more of Tucker on Bannon's show yesterday.
It was a decapitation.
As we said on Friday, it wasn't just about the nuclear program.
It's a decapitation of total leadership.
So this is a total regime change, which, by the way, you may have a plan for regime change.
It's fine.
But you've got to bring the American people on.
Let me go back.
By the way, I said that publicly last week.
The point of this is regime change.
I know everyone involved.
I'm telling the truth.
I have no weird motive here at all.
I don't hate Israel.
Plus you know the players.
I know the players personally.
And you know the Iraq situation.
This isn't a regime change effort, and why not just say that?
But, oh, you're a Holocaust denier for saying that.
Stop!
Let's have a rational conversation about what our aims are here.
And maybe you can convince me that we need to support a regime change war in Iran.
Tell me how that plays out in a country of 90 million people.
Have you thought it through?
Do you even care?
Again, what is the difference in this and what Trump critiqued in Saudi Arabia last month?
Calling out the neocons and talking about their hubris and their pride.
You know, Trump may have some sort of nuanced thought about what he's doing and how it's different than what the other did, but what they're saying is the people supporting this are the same people that were behind the Iraq War and the regime change there.
So then it went on.
Let's see here.
Here's another clip.
I actually really love Trump.
I think he's a deeply humane, kind person.
By the way, Tucker says that he really loves Trump, thinks that he's a deeply humane and kind person, and then Trump calls him a kook.
That's what happened.
I actually really love Trump.
I think he's a deeply humane, kind person.
And I am saying this because I'm really afraid that my country's gonna be Other nations would like to see that, and this is a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the shores of Iran.
But it's also going to end, I believe, Trump's presidency and effectively end it.
And so that's why I'm saying this.
What do you mean by that?
That's coming from you.
Look, I knew Bush.
I knew George W. Bush.
We had family connections to Bush.
I knew Bush.
Personally, I still see Bush sometimes.
You know, of course, he hates me, and he does because I criticized him on Iraq, and that war is the sum total, from historical perspective, of his administration.
But I knew him, and he had all kinds of plans for the things that he wanted to do.
Domestically.
domestically to improve the country work and you may agree or disagree but like in his mind he wasn't just Oh, no, no.
He was going to redo Social Security.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
He was going to take care of the entitlements issue.
And he really thought it was going to work.
Yep.
And you could laugh at that or whatever, but the point is, the second you get enmeshed in a real war, not a fake, let's go bomb the villagers and declare success, though we don't even have a good track record.
Like, why are the Houthis still there?
I mean, there's a whole other question, which is how prepared is the U.S. military for a real conflict.
So, yeah, this is an excellent point.
Certainly a warning.
Do the people that Donald Trump is listening to, do they care about his domestic agenda?
So after...
Tucker Carlson went on Steve Bannon's show, then Steve Bannon went on Tucker Carlson's show, and they talked more about this, and this is what it sounded like.
This is how brilliant they are.
You notice from President Trump the arc that he went through on Friday.
You know something's up.
When David Ignatius at the Washington Post, which we call the Langley Bugle, he's the head of the comms.
Oh, I'm aware!
When Ignatius comes out on Morning Joe and says, Trump is doing such a really magnificent job here.
He's acting like a commander in chief.
People out there, this is being broadcast on Facebook, so there's probably some people out there that are just watching.
Maybe you're watching this or you watch Fox News and you're constantly the rah-rah cheer all the way to war.
Think about this.
Trump's enemies are coming out and going on MSNBC bragging about Trump on this issue.
That should make you question everything.
About what you're actually being told and what the real agenda is.
The red flare that goes up and goes, what the fuck?
No!
It's too fun to swear to have a TV because it's too frustrating to watch.
I don't know a single person who doesn't like David Ignatius personally, and that would include me, and he's just such a courtly man.
He's like the Murdochs.
You can't dislike him.
He's just got elaborate, wonderful manners.
He's very nice.
But like, he is...
is the spokesman for CIA.
It's unbelievable!
When Louis Joyland West, who was one of the last visitors to Jack Ruby in his cell before he went insane, was a CIA physician and, you know, deeply involved in a lot of really dark, some of the darkest things we've ever done.
When he died, I went and looked up the Walter Pincus obit from the Washington Post.
Walter Pincus was the CIA.
I think Walter Pincus wrote it.
And there was no mention in the Washington Post obit that Jolly West worked for CIA.
It's just like, oh my God.
But you wonder, like, do people watching Morning Joe have any idea who these people are?
No, that's the whole purpose of it.
That freaks me out.
No idea that they're basically talking to CIA propagandists.
But here's what Bannon had to say about what's going on right now within our government.
Well, just listen for yourself.
Shockingly, today, earlier when we had you on the show, you bring up a point that we have to address, which I think is the thing itself.
What is it about this apparatus?
When you have a coalition that's like 1932 that's coming together, like Roosevelt had Harvard professors and crackers and execrats and ranchers out west and big city bosses and the Irish and the Italians, and you put it all together and they juggled it.
Brooklyn, Butte, Montana, Birmingham, Alabama, and they're all on the same side.
How does that happen?
And they govern literally...
You know, Reagan took out part of it.
New Gingrich took out part of it.
But it was 50, 60, 70 years.
We have the same ability.
We have hardscrabble Hispanics on the rear Grand Valley of South Texas.
We have tech bros.
We have, you know, economic nationalists.
We have economic populists.
We have people that want to stop their forever wars.
There's three planks.
And right at the beginning of it, you know, and it's on the 10th anniversary of coming down the Golden Escalator.
That was 10 years ago, Sunday.
And I tell people, as many triumphs and tragedies, victories and defeats, good days and horrible days, when we're winning and sometimes we're losing, those 10 years of everything that's gone on, it's just a preamble for where we are today on the convergence of these crises.
And now, all of a sudden, a shooting war where they're taking the Nimitz battle group.
Out of the South China Sea and sending three carrier battle groups now to the North Arabian Sea, Red Sea, plus Arleigh Burke destroyers and a whole fleet in the eastern Mediterranean.
We're prepping for a major shooting war.
And how did it happen?
I think what's most shocking is what you said.
Hey, it was like Iraq.
You're inexorably just drawn in decisions.
Kind of just happened.
It's like, what's happened over the last 72 hours?
How do we even get to this point?
How did this actually happen?
Who made these decisions when we had the intel out there that this was not like a thing?
This was something that was going to happen a year or two from now.
Phoebe admitted to Bret Baier on Sunday night.
And so the question before us is not simply the Israel...
And if we don't sort it out now, I mean right now, that's what we have to have a throwdown.
We have to name names.
We have to expose it.
If we don't throw it out now, throw it down now in the summer of 2025, we're not going to have a country.
Those are wise words.
Minus the profanity.
I apologize for the profanity if you have young kids listening.
We try to keep it clean, but things fall through the cracks sometimes.
Wise words from Steve Bannon.
You're not going to have a country if we can't figure out what is going on and why.
And again, what Sawyer said.
No tax cuts, no doge cuts, no mass deportations.
And I know the deportations are ongoing.
Oh, and by the way, apparently Trump rescinded him going easy.
Let me see this.
This is the last question.
So, Disclosed TV reports that, per the Washington Post, Trump officials are now reversing guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids.
So, some of that, you know, I don't know.
Give you some good news.
Give you some bad news.
But let me give you good news again.
So I know – So, many of you out there may not know, but I am an aspiring pitmaster.
That's right.
So, what that means is I like to, as you can clearly see, I like to cook and eat smoked meats.
Barbecue.
I'm a barbecue enthusiast.
It's one of the things that I do.
What's my hobby?
And I guess a few...
It's a quarter-inch steel cabinet-type smoker.
It's got a great firebox.
Also, it's got a griddle on top.
It's a Lone Star Grills with a Z, by the way.
This is not a paid advertisement for Lone Star Grills.
I'm just telling you that's the one that I got.
It's got a nice powder coat on it, quarter-inch steel.
It's incredible.
I was grilling the other day, and there's a lot of moving parts with this in the fireworks.
You've got to set it up, and there's this one tray or grate, I guess, that's a half an inch thick.
So a half an inch thick steel, and it is huge, and it slides in.
And so I had it in the place where I store it or whatever.
And it was kind of awkward, me picking it up, and I picked it up, and a lot of times I just put it over my head as I walk, because it's easier on the back.
But for whatever reason, I kind of stumbled just a little bit, and I tweaked my back.
Not like the outside muscles, but the lower back, and you've got those inside muscles.
I don't actually know the medical term for that, but I was in pain.
Not like an immediate, but after I slept on it, I got up, I was like, wow, I'm having trouble walking.
So guess what I did?
I sat in front of the red light for 20 minutes.
20 minutes yesterday.
And today, I virtually have no pain at all.
And it was almost immediate.
After I got done with the red light treatment, I had immediate relief that only got better throughout the day.
I just want to reiterate this.
While the bonus sale, the Father's Day sale is now over, you can still get these panels, and I think it's still for a great deal for what you're getting.
And 0% financing is available, 60-day money-back guarantee, and you get 15% off these panels when you shop at redvivehealth.org.
You want to use that link.
That's the link that will get you the discount.
Or you can always call 866-726-8484.
You can talk to somebody there and they'll get you the discount as well.
This is a way to obviously look better as well.
We talked about it, the anti-aging properties of the red light, and then the healing properties of the near-infrared light.
And you turn these machine on in tandem, and you're getting these targeted doses that are naturally emitted from the sun, specifically when the sun rises right there at the horizon and then sets.
So you're getting this stuff, it's just in targeted doses, and your body desperately needs it, especially if you're in office.
You know, and you're not outside a lot, and you're like me.
It sits under these blue studio lights.
I want you to give this a try.
It's incredible.
All I can tell you is it works.
Not only does it work to heal injuries like mine, but it's also just good to do.
I did it this morning, not, not even on my back because my back felt great.
I did it on my front just to help with, I think it helps me with indigestion.
I think it helps with, with digestion.
I think it helps cardiovascularly.
The energy boost that you get from this is second to none.
The technology is real.
If you doubt me, I want you to go to the website and read the research papers that they have.
Dr. Desai has there.
It's redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
That's redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
So a few more clips from Tucker Carlson on Steve Bannon.
And let me show you this.
Here it is.
So listen to this.
And the incentives to pull the U.S. in are so profound.
I guess if I could just say one political thing.
Watching Donald Trump, who, of course, you know very well, who I think at core is sincere about peace.
Oh, big time.
Yeah, big time.
Big time.
I mean, that's real.
Watching him done so wrong, the lies.
Oh, he knew all along, you know, the peace process was fake.
Steve Wyckoff was playing along.
That is a lie.
That's a lie.
I know.
That's a lie.
Those guys meant it.
Bald face lie.
It's a total lie.
And all these people that Mark Levin and all of the minions who are running cover for a foreign government, they're all telling that same lie.
And I just, I feel for President Trump, and I think, I don't know this, I'm just guessing, but at this point I feel like he just has to kind of roll with it.
You know, what do you say?
You don't want to get in an argument about that right in the middle of a war.
No, I think he reiterated last night that we've got to get back to the peace part.
They've got to lay down the guns.
But they're lying about him!
He's sincerely, even now.
He sincerely believes, whether he's right or not, I can't say.
But that this could be a predicate to a peace deal, what we're seeing now.
He really thinks that and wants that.
And the other side is just like, no, a peace deal is immoral.
It's the other side, but the other side also has the apparatus here.
This is what happened in the U.S. When Ukraine attacked, we still have an ass Ratcliffe.
Was the CIA involved?
There's zero probability Ukraine could attack deep into Russia without some involvement.
So that brings us to Tulsi Gabbard as we wind things down.
You see, Tulsi Gabbard was not invited to these recent Camp David discussions.
By the way, Alex Jones is sticking with Tucker, saying that Trump attacking Tucker Carlson for not supporting a new world order is not something any sane person should support.
This is the stuff nightmares are made of.
But about 90 days ago, and as you heard them say, Bibi Netanyahu basically let it slip and told Bret Baier that they were not days away from a bomb.
They were a year or so away.
But I guess 90 days ago, the Director of National Intelligence said the United States intelligence community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.
Tulsi Gabbard.
That's what she said to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 26th of this year.
and so And everybody out there saying, you want Iran to have a nuclear weapon?
Well, they've now basically said that that was not imminent.
And Tulsi Gabbard said that.
And now, apparently, people are wanting Tulsi Gabbard to resign.
The neocon pro-war people definitely want that.
I guess, you know, we'll see what happens with that.
But, I mean, this whole thing is extremely frustrating, but it's now regime change, right?
This is not really about a nuclear weapon, from what I can tell.
This is just about getting a regime change and using any kind of talking points of propaganda that they possibly can to do it.
And if that means pulling America into a full war with boots on the ground and dead Americans in the Middle East, Surely.
Surely.
Tomorrow on the program, we will.
We're going to pull the clips of Donald Trump at Saudi Arabia only a couple of weeks ago, criticizing neocon foreign policy and the arrogance and the hubris and the pride that was behind it all.
And I just would like to know the difference between that and what is going on right now.
And what may be about to happen, like, I want to know the difference between the two things.
And right now, I can't see the difference between that.
And that's not what I voted for.
That's not what millions of Americans voted for.
Oren McIntyre writing, it would be nice if we could get clarification on this.
Tulsi Gabbard, like a number of unconventional Trump appointees, was placed in her position due to her hostile relationship with the deep state actors inside the organization she runs.
The whole point was to have individuals who served Trump directly and provided honest counsel while carrying out his directives instead of betraying him for deep state interests like so many in his first term did.
Just a few months ago...
I just get worked up over that because I'm sitting here thinking, like, has Nikki Haley won?
Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, and Mark Levin are ecstatic right now.
They've never been happier.
You get Tulsi Gabbard, you have all these people, oh, I can't vote for Tulsi Gabbard.
She actually gets the position and instead...
What was the election even about?
Something to think about.
And again, continue to pray for the president, pray for peace, and...
So I will reiterate what I said.
I think all of us, all of us need to be as vocal as we want, but we don't need to despair.
We don't need to act like this situation is hopeless.
Be as vocal, and if you're against war and you want peace and you don't want this same playbook that has gone on my entire lifetime that's about regime change and weapons of mass destruction, Be as vocal as you like and need to be, but do not despair.
And that is my message to you.
God bless everybody out there watching.
Unless I'm providentially hindered, I will be back here tomorrow delivering you the news.
God bless.
