WEBVTT - 6/21/25 BREAKING: Trump Bombs Iran 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.280 Hello, everybody, some very big news that we can share 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:04.840 with all of you. Crystal, if you want to go 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:06.640 and put it up there on the screen, we'll read 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:10.960 directly from Donald J. Trump's truth social quote. We have 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.480 completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.040 in Iran, including for Doau, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.560 are now outside of Iranian airspace. A full payload of 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.720 bombs was dropped on the primary site for DOE. All 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.760 planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.080 great American warriors. There is not another military in the 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.440 world that could have done this. Now is the time 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.040 for peace. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.280 We've also been informed by President Trump. We're recording this 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.879 roughly around eight thirty pm Eastern time. President Trump will 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.040 be giving an address to the nation at ten PM 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.960 at the White House regarding our successful military operation in Iran. 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:51.400 Quote. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.480 This is a historic moment for the United States of America, Israel, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.200 and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war. 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.520 So it happened, and yeah, I mean turns out that 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.040 the two weeks was actually a ruse, basically to get 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:10.199 all of the military equipment in place. It does appear, guys, 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.600 that this was done with the B two bombers, the 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.720 stealth B two bombers capable of dropping these these massive 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.280 ordnance penetrators crystal. If do we want to put up 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.880 some images, if we can, these were uh these are 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.600 by the way, these are being dispersed right now by 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.000 the Israeli military. Please keep that in mind. But they do, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.040 at the very least for the moment. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.319 That we're this account actually took those images down. 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:36.039 I always have to be. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.920 Careful, so we don't yet know what the images that 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.520 have come out of there. By the way, we don't 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.880 actually know a lot even about the uh, the attack itself. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.000 Trump uh, you know, is expected to perhaps announce details. 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.320 But you know, part of the reason I think that 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.440 we're all doing this right now is this is it, 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.960 you know, the dice casts like it's where we're at 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.080 war with Iran and there's really just no getting around 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.920 that very simple statement at this. 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.600 So we have not declared war on Iran, and we 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.639 are waiting for the White House to even muster the 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.720 legal justification, though if it exists, if they point to anything, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.720 it will be dubious at the very very best. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.440 I'm really glad you highlighted that, because that's something that 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:19.919 I think we should all really spend a lot of 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.600 time on. I mean, this is one of the most 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:27.200 extraordinary and aggressive, independent, unilateral actions launched by a president 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.519 of the United States ever, and I'm just I'm struck 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.080 by that. I'm struck by you, in my opinion, just 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.880 such a foolhardy decision given I mean, the consequences that 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.920 are unfortunately very likely to come. We have thousands and 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.960 thousands of US service members, you know, the Straits of 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.079 War moves is at risk. We have a naval base 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.919 in Bahrain, we have air bases and US military bases 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.480 in Iraq. And yeah, I mean, I spent my whole 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.320 career and I've met so many people who've suffered in 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.160 the global War on Terror, and it's really just terrifying, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.600 you know, to think that we're right back and it's 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:03.640 totally unnecessary. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.080 And let me just explain some of how this went down, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.960 you know, just tracking from the beginning. So first we 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.680 had the revelation that Israel had bombed a bunch of 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.440 sites in Iran. The initial reaction from the Trump administration 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.160 from Secretary of State Mark Rubio was to feign effectively 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.120 surprise and say, oh, well, this was a completely unilateral action. 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.440 Very shortly thereafter, it became clear from Trump himself that 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.200 he was claiming credit for it, and they put out 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.920 to the press that actually all of their recent attempts 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.120 at diplomacy and the claim that they were going forward 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.720 with this next round of nuclear diplomacy talks, that this 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.160 was actually a ruse to create an ability for this 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.320 Israeli surprise attack. Since then, we've had this whole will 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.920 they or won't they? Very reality show esque, you know, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:59.160 theater put on from Trump where he's seeking the advice 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.400 from this one. Different things are being leaked to the 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.640 press and all sorts of misinformation, and really the propaganda 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:11.800 effort kicks into full effect. Suddenly. Even though our Director 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.240 of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the end of March 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.360 told us the Iranians are not close to a nuclear weapon, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.719 they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon, the IAEA says 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.800 the same thing, we have no evidence that the Iranians 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:30.200 are pursuing a nuclear weapon. But suddenly Trump and Fox 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.080 News and CNN to a great extent as well, suddenly 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.599 it's Iran is on the break of a nuclear weapon. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:42.280 This is taken as effectively a fact, very wmd Iraq war. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.719 The vibes are, you know, off the charts, and so 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.240 you get this drum beat going. And the question that he, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.279 the President of the United States, is asking the American 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.560 people isn't hey, do you want a regime change, which, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.880 based on the reporting, is what we have actually greenlit. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.640 And the logic you know that we're headed on already. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.040 I mean even that all the strikes and tyran, there 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.680 weren't nuclear facilities in Tehran, So what are we doing there? 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.000 The question that's being asked the American people from the 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.200 present isn't hey, do you want to get involved in 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:14.279 another idiotic, disastrous, like morally atrocious, illegal regime change war. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.680 It's Aron's about to have a nuke. We can't. We 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.400 can't let them have a nuke. And from there the 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.760 logic flows to this moment when we directly engage. But 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.159 I don't want anyone to be fooled by the idea 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.000 that we weren't already involved, that this operation hadn't already 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.560 been greenlit. We know from Reuter's, we know from Ken 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:37.000 Klippenstein that the regime change operation had already been greenlit 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.560 by Trump. And I think a lot of the machinations 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.680 that we've seen going back and forth over this ensuing 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.680 time period has been mostly for show. And you know 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.279 this was this was the intention effectively all along. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.640 And Christal, just to add to that point real quickly, 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.440 you said that, you know, as Tulsea Gabert Gabartt said 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.479 that the nuclear program was not up and running, what 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.840 she also so said is that it had not been 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.799 running since two thousand and three. Right, come any shut 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.880 it down in two thousand and three. That's that's the 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.880 intelligence assessment that it's that it has been dormant for 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.159 more than twenty years, and the intelligence community believed that 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.479 it that it remained dormant. I think there's one piece 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.640 of news that I wanted to put up here that 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.960 emerge today which is relevant to this, which is on 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.760 Watch Media. Really really impressive. They have a ton of 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.160 like sources, like very close to like senior leaders in Iran. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.760 They reported today that the Supreme Leader assembled what's called 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.599 the as you see it here, the Assembly of Experts. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.839 This is the in Iran's constitution. This is like how 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.320 they and I'll scroll this ups if anybody wants to 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.360 pause and like read this, like this is how they 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.880 they determine their success or. They've got this little eighty 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.720 eight member clerical council. They sit down, they come up 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.599 with candidates that are going to replace the Supreme and 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.839 then they pick one and that becomes the new Supreme leader. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.440 So comm Ani is saying here like okay, this this 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.440 might be it for me, Like I'm going to take 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.960 Israel in the United States at their word. You know, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.480 after this hospital was hit yesterday the day before Israeli 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.240 Israeli President Herzog was saying, like, okay, Comani cannot live 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.840 any longer. And there have been all of these reports 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.280 that Kamani is going to be killed by the Israelis, 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.440 but Trump has been holding him back. We don't know 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.040 whether or not we can believe any of this because 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.760 you know, we're in the fog of like intentional disinformation 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.600 in order to gain advantage in the war. What what 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.000 Commani is saying there, And he's been under pressure for 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.920 years now because he's in the eighties. It's like, guys, 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.600 like you need to come up with a successor. But 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.880 he'd been put he'd been pushing off this this creation 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.360 of a successor. So now today he's announced, all right, 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:53.480 we're going to do a successor. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:53.760 What does that? 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.960 What does that mean? You can kill him, you can 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.360 bomb the nuclear sites. What What he's trying to signal 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:05.400 is that the Iranian state is going to continue from Israel. 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.640 You hear them saying, we need to get rid of 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.240 this threat to us. We need to be done with this. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.560 It's like be done with it, how like it's a thing. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.440 It exists, it's going to it exists today. You can 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.520 vombit all night long. It will exist tomorrow and you 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.200 can kill Kameani and they'll have somebody else. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:27.080 Emily. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.920 Sorry, just before you speak, Crystal, could you put Ken 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:33.199 Clippenstein's feed up. He has a report just out from 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.840 a single minute ago, which is very important because there's 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.400 two things that we all have to focus on here 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.280 right now, regime change and potential escalation and retaliation by 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.960 both the Iranians, and then escalation from the United States. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.600 So I'll read here from Ken quote the US military 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.040 is now briefing troops that would strike on Iran quote 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.840 will likely result in counter strikes on US basis and 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.560 facilities in the Middle East, and likely activate Iran and 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.560 other foreign terrorist organization cells abroad, including the US, to 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.120 conduct strikes against US persons and facilities, according to a 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.840 briefing I have obtained, so obviously Ken a great friend 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:08.599 of the show. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:09.720 With great reporting there. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.880 But that is the nightmare, Cyril, and that is why 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.800 I'm so afraid that there is no stepping off this 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:19.160 ladder now that Donald Trump has again unilaterally put us on. 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.600 You know, he says peace. You know, you to bomb 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.360 a country and pay for prey for peace. As Ryan 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.640 just highlighted, you know, the Iranian state is arguably I mean, 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.720 at this point, something so Abamari said on our show 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.960 that I have really been thinking about is that in 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.920 a way, you know, the Iranians were so infiltrated by 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.280 Mosad that initially it was a disaster and it was 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.480 a total humiliation. But they've regrouped to a point where 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.319 they've been able to militarily continue their activity against Israel, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.520 at least with some limited amount of success, to the 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.400 point where the Israel owned reporters are saying, this place 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:56.400 looks like Gaza. So that's there still, you know, military capability, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.600 we have to look to the straits of ourmus the 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.000 barrel boyl price could go to hundred dollars for barrel. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:02.360 All of our US. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.240 Facilities in Iraq and in Syria. I mean, there's so 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:10.360 many Iranian proxy groups all over the country of Iraq. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.120 The government of Iraq, by the way, will not be 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.680 supporting us very much. They protested our own action just 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.040 today at the United Nations, and the Gulf Arab States 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.680 also are not supportive of this. So the logistics operation 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.920 is a total nightmare. If this thing gets worse, two 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.520 carrier strike groups in the region, so we have to 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.000 highlight that. 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.640 Go ahead, Emily. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.680 Sorry, no, I was actually going to ask you where 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.240 we should be looking at retaliatory action. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:40.160 Potentially, Iraq is a big one. Iraq is a really 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.800 big one because Iraq is actually the place where our 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.160 forces are probably the least protected and are very vulnerable, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.679 possibly to getting rushed by like those ground cut up 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.439 Hasbola folks who have rockets, who for now have not 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:53.840 had the straits of our moves. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:54.560 Is the biggest one. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.480 Also, don't forget about the who Thies, which you know, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.560 despite bombing the shit out of them for what like 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.640 ten twelve years right now or something. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.680 As talking let me put this up on Let me 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.000 put this up on the screen. Yeah, this is this 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:12.240 is your point, Secretary General of Al Neu Java Iraqs. Uh, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.760 what you know? The Iraq is filled with these Iranian 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.720 backed militia groups. One of the biggest ones said, you 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.800 bomb them. Uh, you know, we're going to target Americans, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.920 not just military but also civilian. And there are thousands 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720 and thousands of Americans you know, running around. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.079 Not to mention as a story that Crystal and I 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.600 highlighted in our show, do you know how many Americans 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.400 are trapped inside of Israel right now? Hundreds of thousands. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.920 There is no there are no evacuation flights. The entire 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.040 airspace is closed, so we could possibly see something there. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.200 Who knows what the Iranians. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.760 We have what ten thousand service members and Cutter, which 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.120 Cutter has been, you know, engaging in direct diplomacy with 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.240 Iran saying like, look, we're not involved with this, please 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.280 don't hit us. And Saudi and the UE have been 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.440 saying the same thing, like like we're sorry that we 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.920 heard this. The United States like we're not doing this, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.920 like please do not retaliate against us. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.040 Well and twice I think it really bears emphasizing twice, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:16.120 now we used the pretext of supposed diplomatic negotiations as 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.600 a ruse. Yes, you know, I mean, how serious can 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.080 you be about negotiations? Actually, Tim Dillon was making this 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.960 joke when you're killing the people you're negotiating with, Like, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.040 is that a serious You're serious about diplomacy when you're 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.400 murdering the people that you're supposed to be dealing with. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.760 So now twice over the course of just weeks, we've 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:45.679 used pretend diplomacy to run cover for bombing campaigns. And 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.880 you know, I so not only with you know, Iran 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.920 and the futures. Now, I'm sure Trump when he comes 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.319 out tonight, he's going to say here's a few things. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.160 I predict he's going to say. First, he's going to say, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.080 we tried. You know that, we tried. We were at 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.360 the table with them, they just were ops and they 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.640 wouldn't come around. We tried again, they rejected us again. 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.800 And he's probably he may even say, hey, now come 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.160 to the table. Now, come now, let's come to a deal. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.000 Who in their right mind you're threatening right now to 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.240 kill their leader? You're you actually, if you're a rod, 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.040 you're thinking now we should have had a bomb long 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:28.000 ago to prevent exactly what's unfolding right now. So Soccer, 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.240 you were pointing out the polymarket odds of a rod 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.720 developing a nuclear weapon have actually gone up, because that 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.200 is the actual logic that we've created. And I want 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.240 to emphasize this because this is so important in terms 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.800 of thinking about where we're going to go next, because 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.880 now what the Hawks are going to say is, you 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.439 can see the polymarket odds there. Now what the Hawks 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.040 are going to say is, well, maybe we took out 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.360 for dough or maybe we degraded for doe, but they 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.880 still have these capabilities and by the way, they can 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.760 still build that, and we still have this evil regime 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.400 in place, and as long as they're in place, we 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.680 can't feel safe that they're not going to build a 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:13.079 nuclear weapon. And then okay, so what do you do? Then? Oh, well, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.560 I guess we just have to take this regime out 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.280 and let democracy flourish and you know, install the the 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.000 Shaw's fail Sun or whatever the bullshit is gonna be. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.720 But that's that's the way this logic goes. And listen, 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:33.040 bib Nan Yaho knows that, right, But I also I 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.520 am so reluctant in a sense to bring him into 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.360 this because there's all this language. Oh we got dragged 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.240 into Ward. Trump's getting tricked at bull shit. Yes, this 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.120 man promised to bomb ran on the campaign trail multiple times. 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.760 You can go look at the White House feed. They 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.680 put on a very nice compilation of all the times 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.760 that he said that Iran can't have a nuke and 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.720 he specifically said that we should be bombing that, you know, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.640 their nuclear facilities should be bombed, multiple times on the 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:02.280 campaign trail. Okay, Joe Biden million issues with him. According 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.520 to the reporting, the Israeli's been pushing this regime chain 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.760 operation for years at this point, and the Biden administration said, no, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.200 this would be too catastrophic. This is a bad idea. No, no, no. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.880 From what we can tell, Trump did the same for 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.280 a while. You know, this is not a good idea. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.440 I can see how this would go poorly. I can 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.320 see how this would, you know, get us involved all 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.280 sorts of things we don't necessarily want to be involved with, 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.800 and we've got other priorities, et cetera. And then he 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.000 gets to a point and he decides, you know, I'm 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.800 bored with these negotiations, let's just bomb them. Does not 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.240 seem quick? Doesn't that seem easy? And now here we 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.880 are on this chain of escalation that listen, maybe we'll 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.680 be wrong. Maybe they'll just bomb four doh and that'll 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.280 be it, and there'll be no retaliation, there'll be no fallout, 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.920 we won't get pulled even further. And maybe that'll be it. 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.840 But it is very hard to see how that is 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.080 what plays out here alto. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.080 Yeah, the bet I think I've said this before, I'll 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.320 just reiterate it. The best case show on Ario right 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.520 now is Libya. That is the best case. The best 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.360 case is we bomb, we came, we saw, we bombed, 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.120 and we left right and oh. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.200 Ten years, ten to fifteen years of kaots erupted into. 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.200 A fifteen years civil But then of course beautiful isocracy 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.960 and the democracy, thriving democracy that we have right now. 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.960 I also, I think Crystal is so correct like Israel, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.760 Israel is both the primary and a secondary actor, but 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.360 at the end of the day, like they are the 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.720 secondary actor now, especially with Donald Trump. One thing I 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.080 do especially want to highlight on the regime change front 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.720 is I have been watching this raise Apolovy stuff very closely, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.960 which I know it sounds crazy, but we talked. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:37.760 About it here before. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.280 Fox News is referring to this guy as his Royal 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.760 Highness Crystal if you want. My latest tweet is specifically 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.640 highlighting a Israeli report that came out just three hours ago. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.760 This is from Wynette News inside of Israel. This is 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.960 Emily Strader quote multiple sources. There are discussions ongoing with 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.920 the United States and the Crown Prince rais Apolovy for 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:03.240 the day after the Islamic regime fails. So as you 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.200 can see, that is a very that look. I mean, 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.040 I am forced at this point to take these seriously. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.840 I also would highlight Polavi's latest tweet himself, he says. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.080 Sources insiety Iran say that regime's command and control structures 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.160 are collapsing at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, the international community 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.840 is beginning to realize the Islamic Republican has no future. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.280 Our discussions about a post Islamic Republic Iran have begun. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.199 We have our Auchmchaloby and I'll be honest, Achmedchalaby was 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.920 way more legitimate as legitimate as he was. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:34.800 Fail Sun. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.639 And that's actually one of the things Emily I was 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:43.520 thinking about today is like I am like, I am 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.399 actually in disbelief as negative of an opinion as I 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.720 have of Donald Trump, I am actually in disbelief that 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.119 we're doing this again. Like and it's so much dumber 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.359 because at least they a rock war. They bothered to 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:01.119 like have a propaganda show for us. They bothered, you know, 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.399 and we were all, you know after nine to eleven, 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.800 like we were galvanized. We wanted to do something. They 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.200 put on the propaganda show and they had colon Palaty, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.560 They did the whole thing. And this like we have 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.000 I really want people to think about this. We have 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:21.440 not been offered one shred of intelligence that suggests Iran 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.960 was close to or developing a nuclear weapon. Our own 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.679 intelligence community says they're not, the IAEA says they're not, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.080 and all Trump says is well, I don't care what 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.320 Tulsea Gabbart said, trust me, that's basically it. And Saber, 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.439 I know you were reporting that none of the in 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.080 new quote unquote new intelligence comes from our own intelligence community. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.440 We're trusting the word of the Israelis. How many decades 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.240 have they been saying Iran is the day or a 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.320 week or a month or a year whatever away from 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.359 a bomb, like I can the stupidity, and how like 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:59.480 they think we are so stupid? And when I see 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.120 the paganda and Fox News is the absolute worst. They're 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.719 the ones out there calling the Shaw fail Sun his 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.320 royal highness and ready to put him right on the throne. 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.480 CNN is egregious. The little bit I watch of MSNBC 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.200 was slightly more tolerable. I'll say, if you're going to 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.360 grade them in terms of rank just because they're you know, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.480 they're negatively polarized against Trump. But I can't believe how 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.000 easy it is to whip these well. I can, sadly 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.159 I can, but it's astonishing to see how quickly you 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:33.320 can whip these places up into total manufacturing consent propaganda shops, 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.199 regurgitating whatever it is that their administration wants them to 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.880 framing it in the way they want it to be framed. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.960 And it is so wild to me to see this 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.560 all playing out again, but in a speed run like 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.080 social media AI slop version of what we got the 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:50.840 original time. 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.720 So this is twenty four minutes apart, twenty four minutes apart. 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.520 Matt Gates on Oh my God, and yep. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.320 So on the one hand that he saying I'm so 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.760 proud of this administration in reference to an Alex Ward 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.200 report that Rubio has told European allies the Trump administration's 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.399 preferred option with Iran as a diplomatic deal. Then after 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:15.240 Trump post on true Social that Forda was bombed, Matt 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.240 Gates says President Trump basically wants this to be like 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.359 the SOLMANI strike one and done, no regime change war. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:21.720 Now. 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.040 For what it's worth, Matt Gates is somebody who when 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.679 he was in Congress was adamantly in opposition to the 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.840 way war powers have been used and abused by presidents 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.520 in the last two decades. And actually the comparison with 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.159 the Bush administration is interesting because I take issue with 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:38.959 the way that George W. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.120 Bush used war powers, but at least they. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:46.200 Went did some Congress as symbolance of going to Congress, right, 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:50.520 And now we are looking at the imminent, potentially the 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.240 imminent deaths of American service members in a war that 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.960 we have entered, because we have just dropped massive bombs 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.520 on another country with no congressional authorization. So I just 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.879 want to say I've been checking in with sources. I 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.600 know we all have, but a couple of things from 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.680
