1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, June the twenty fifth. This is the 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: warning Donald Trump attacked Iran. Donald Trump appeared before the 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: nation and made a claim. Here is what he said. 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: Our objective was the destruction of irans nuclear inrichment capacity 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can 7 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: military success. Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: completely and totally obliterated. Ran, the bully of the Middle East, 10 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: would be far greater and a lot easier. I decided 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: a long time ago that I would not let this happen. 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: It will not continue. 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Standing behind him was Champagne, Pete Little Marco A JD. 15 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: Vans. 16 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: All of them repeated the claim that the Iranian nuclear 17 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: weapons program was destroyed. 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: Now. 19 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: It is interesting because just a few days earlier, Israeli 20 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netton Yahoo claimed the Israelis had destroyed 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: the Iranian nuclear program. And it begs the question, if 22 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: Netan Yahoo and the Israelis destroyed the program, why would 23 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: it be necessary for the United States to destroy the program, 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: and so Donald Trump ordered in a reality television special 25 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: made for television programming branded absurdly around what he calls 26 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: the Twelve Day War and his role as a warrior 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: diplomat in ending it. He orders an attack, claiming the 28 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: purpose of the attack is the eminence of an Iranian 29 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, refuted by his own National intelligence director. And 30 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: so what Donald Trump has accomplished, no doubt because he 31 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: went for the head of the snake and missed, is 32 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: the speeding up of the Iranian nuclear bomb program and 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: the endangering of the peace of the world. It is said, 34 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: according to many media reports, that there are twenty massive 35 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: ordinance penetrator bombs of the type that were dropped on 36 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: the Iranian mountain in the American arsenal. Now there are 37 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: eight left. And the job was not finished, because no 38 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: air wing commander in the history of any air force 39 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: ever would say that pardon targets very deep in a mountain, 40 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: no matter how spectacularly explosive the ordinance can be guaranteed 41 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: to destroy the hardened positions in the mountain on one 42 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: raid in one night. It might take fifty rays. And 43 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: thus here we are the collision of performance and reality 44 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: supported by the malice of Trump and his henchmen, their venom, 45 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: their delusion, their thirst for power. The corrupt media that 46 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: cheerleads this obscenity, calls it victory, tells the American people 47 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: they're safer, while ignoring completely the clear lessons of history 48 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: over the last twenty years, and the decisions of well 49 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: intentioned men and women of both parties that augured disaster 50 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: and sentenced the generation of America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, 51 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: the physical injury and moral injury, and the service of 52 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: two wars that the politicians lost because they lacked wisdom 53 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: when it was necessary, they lacked vision when it was required, 54 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: and so the ideologues prevailed. The delusionists overcame the truth tellers, 55 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: and America went to war. And if there is one 56 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: thing that every person in America should be able to 57 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: agree on, it is that, boy, oh boy, is it 58 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: much easier to start a war than to end one. 59 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: And never in history, no matter how powerful a people 60 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: may be, has it ever been the case that a 61 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: country gets to start a war and declare it over 62 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: on its own terms without response from a forty year adversary. 63 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: And so I urge you to watch bb NET in 64 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Yahoo over thirty years. This is the man who manipulated 65 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: the commander in full to do his bidding to launch 66 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: an attack that missed the mark. And so when this 67 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: is reported and reality confronts delusion, Trump decomposes, and the 68 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: man who says trust me is the same man who 69 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: couldn't tell the truth about an election, and who has 70 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: or into America cities, the United States Marine Corps and 71 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: masked federal agents, a Trump stormtrooper, if you will, off 72 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: their chain, off their leash by the orders of some 73 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: of the most powerful people in the American government, and 74 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: every detail of those orders, every lack of restraint, every 75 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: unprincipled action, every lawless sentence, will one day be accounted for. 76 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: And we see that right now in the confirmation of 77 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: one of the most duplicitous, dishonest men who has ever 78 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: in the history of the Republic been appointed nominated by 79 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: a president to an appellate bench, Emil Bove, whose dishonesty 80 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: is caught up with him, as Chuck Schumer fecklessness has 81 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: caught up with him. What happened in New York City 82 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: was a rejection of the Democratic establishment, who once again 83 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: again held a gun to the voter's head and said 84 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: us or that terrifying thirty three year old socialist. And 85 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: you know what, the people of New York picked the 86 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: thirty three year old young guy to socialist promising free 87 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: stuff over the certain malignity of an Andrew Cuomo restoration, 88 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: the establishment of the Democratic Party headed by Chuck Schumer, 89 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: who thinks he should pick the candidates all across the 90 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: country while presiding over this in his backyard. And Chuck 91 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: Schumer and Andrew Cuoma all stand on the same side 92 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: of a line that whether you're a socialist Democrat or 93 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: democratic socialist in New York or a common sense Texas 94 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: Democrat in Texas, people are rising up against and it's 95 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: necessary to rise up against it because of the massed 96 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: agents in the streets and because of the lying about 97 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: military attacks that miss the mark. It's necessary to rise 98 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: up against this because nobody in the American government can 99 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: be trusted to tell the truth. But there is the 100 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: truth that's been told about so many people who cheerleaded 101 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: these attacks. Before the smoke and rubble cleared, they were 102 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: hailing Trump's great victory. Some of these people, the architects 103 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: of the disaster a quarter century ago. Some of these 104 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: people Trump's most art infoes, who think that somehow, this liar, 105 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: this degenerate has the moral standing to launch an attack 106 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: and can be counted on to tell the American people 107 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: the truth about it. How naive can you be? In 108 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: naive atay is dangerous in the world where Donald Trump 109 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: is President of the United States.
