Of course, Vince comes from the name Vincente in Latin, which all the Romance languages are based in. Latin roughly translates to six inch ribbons, girlfriend. Six inches. So, America, let's talk about it. No, wait, I'm sorry. Let's talk about Iran and the fact that they got absolutely merked without any people actually getting merced. Look, we're going to get into what happened because everyone's talking about this. Obviously some people are wrong, some people are lying, and there are opinions to be had on both sides. But I do have a question. Hey, Trump always chickens out. What happened to Taco Trump? Don't make him count to three. Whether you agree with that or not, that's what happened on with the show. Now, it made me come back here. So come back here. You know what it it is, Josh? Where's my money? American Financing restructured that loan. You're supposed to be handing me my money. Here. Here's my jar. 20%. Oh, you got the jar. That's right. Get the out of here, Steven. Oh. Oh. What you doing, Stephen? Huh? What you gonna do, huh? You gonna shoot me in front of everybody? Huh? Come on. What are you guys doing in here? Was the American Gangster parody for American Financing. No, no, they're never gonna go for that, man. Not gonna happen. Oh, you know what? He's right. We need to make it more ethnically accurate. Ethnic. We could go more ethnic. No, no, no, no, no, no. Just shut it down. We're not doing it, guys. Ooh, I got some shoe polish in my office. Nice.

Yeah, it is one of the days. Which means we're live because It's a weekday. 11am Eastern. My question for you is what happened to Taco Trump and what is your opinion of the military action that has taken place here in Iran? We have a few points to get to, a few points to go through. And we're going to do a segment of fake news and real news because you know what? It is a problem. Used to be a problem where the purveyors of fake news were only on the left because they dominated mainstream media. Now we have a different problem. The good news is the pendulum has swung the other way and the country now is, well, it's always been at least kind of half right leaning. But now I would say more people are right leaning and the media as a total landscape is more balanced because you have online content. Unfortunately. Now the problem that we have with fake news is algorithmically based where it's about click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click. You can have opinions and I think they're legitimate opinions to have on both sides of this issue. But you do have to base it on what is actually taking place. What is actually taking place and the reasons as to why. And we make all the references available as we do every single day. Link in the description gap. Morgan number two, how are you doing? Well, you? I hurt my hand. Oh, okay. Any more? My, my left hand was full and I opened the back of my door with my right hand and then a gust of wind blew it and it just wedge. And now it feels like I, like, I, I don't know, it feels like I broke something. You, you hurt your hand opening a door? Oh, that's what I forgot. Gerald slams the door on his lady and at the Funny bone Comedy Club July 6th on Sunday in Orlando, Florida. Not underscore Firestein on X. Josh Firestein. How are you, sir? Good, good. I'll also. August 7th, I'll be in Tehran, Iran. Nice, nice. So you'll be at Kabooms? Yeah, I'll be bombing Tayron James. They have a great wing special. Before anything else, get as much love as you need. That's a. That's a Nick depolit joke. But I have full license and permission because he uses mine all the time. We just exchange them so you can tell him that I ripped it off. Hey, I don't know if you know this. When you think Irish, I want you to think in your head really fast. Got it? Think what they look like. Go Irish. Notre Dame. Think Gaelic. Okay, I'm laughing because they're funny now. Instead, I want you to guess why this Irish but African Irish Muslim woman is upset that there are too many. What you just pictured in your head. White Irish teachers. I was shocked, but I also really wasn't surprised. Throughout my Irish education, I never had a teacher who looked like me. But I developed the biggest pet peeve for when people decide to blame it on Gwelga. I can tell you now that Gwelga is definitely a barrier for people from ethnic minority backgrounds for getting into teaching. But it is not the biggest barrier, in my opinion, because if it was, there would definitely be more ethnic minorities doing secondary school school teaching because there's no Guelga requirement there. But the numbers are just as low as they are in primary school teaching. Well, how about you go to where you're not A minority is representation. The curriculum has only become so diverse in the recent years. And also all of the teachers that children, teenagers are seeing are all white. There's definitely still a lot of unconscious from primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, and even in higher education, from lectures. And I definitely will always believe that the diversity of the classroom should definitely reflect in the teaching force. Children should be able to see themselves. You've got diverse classrooms there. Do you experiences. And in order to do this, you need to better the treatment of your migrant ethnic minority students in your classrooms. Well, look, we do need to treat our migrants better. And it seems to me that the problem is you don't like being a minority. So I say we send you back to where you're part of the majority. Anywhere but here. If our whiteness offends you, that's like me being offended that there aren't enough people who look like me in the wnba. You see, the problem with Uganda is there's not enough white teachers. That's exactly right. Uganda's all full of black teachers, and I think they need more Irish white teachers. That's right. And I think. Learn the language. We could have stopped Hotel Rwanda if it was Hotel Cork Town. I love. Their complaint is that she. She can't get a teaching job because she didn't speak the language that they teach in that country. Yeah. Oh, man. I can't get that Japanese teaching job because I don't speak Japanese. I know. That's such a barrier. Go to the country that affords you the opportunity to teach and then bitch that it looks like the country that a afforded you the opportunity to teach. By the way, there hasn't been this much tension between Muslims and the Celtic people since Hezbollah put on their own version of Riverdance. It's way worse than I thought. And this is not the first example of tensions between the Irish and the black community. Historical footage right there. I know they had automatics. Okay. You have to think that it went through the entire process, made money and was green. Someone said, yes. Leprechaun in the hood. Someone marketed that. Yes. Someone said, this is going to be a big smash. Yeah. This is something we need. We need to reach out to a different audience. We need the leprechaun. Yeah. Killing black guys wearing gold chains. Well, but they're trying to kill him, so that is fair. True. I mean, it's mutually assured destruction. Somebody bragged about getting that role. Yes. Yes. Oh, he's got a role. Would you. What? You in Leprechaun man? Leprechaun? What? Oh, yeah. Movie. Jennifer Edison. Nah, I'm in, like, the 19th one. Leprechaun in the hood. No, she's not in this one. She turned it down for reasons of it being sucked. What are you getting paid scale? Yes. All right. Palate cleanse. Good. So no, let's go to. It's almost the opposite. It's not a palate cleanse. That wasn't sorbet so much as it was a mound of dog crap. I was a bit numb from all of the stuff that's happened. Now I'm more angry. Yeah, I know. I get it a lot. So, look, this weekend obviously happened. This administration launched. They didn't declare war. They carried out a strategic stealth mission. Let me just sort of walk you through some important points here before we get to the pros and cons and the real news and fake news. Can we at least accept how amazing it is that point one American warplanes left from Missouri took out. They flew through airspace, not just of Iran. But all the airspace between here and Iran took out strategically these sites that were related to enriching uranium with incredible precision. All of them, as far as we know it, no civilian casualties and no human military casualties. And our planes were back over the ocean on the way home before Iran had any idea what happened. That's point one. Point two, and this is something I keep coming back to. Look, I understand why people may not. Even before this, I said I would rather Israel do it if it's their fight, but we do need to separate that from our interests here. But point number two is, even if you disagree with this, even if you don't like that Donald Trump did it, a military strike that kills nobody and takes out very specific targets that have been in contention is not something that would divide the Republican Party. Certainly not impeachable. It would be something that you put in the column of, I don't really like that about him. Sort of like me with Donald Trump and bump stocks, or that he's not nearly as pro life as I would like to. This is not the kind of thing that would divide the party and get people to say, we're starting a third party, we're leaving, we're no longer Republicans, because, oh, my gosh, this is George W. Trump. Also, I think that it's important. Point number three, when we look back on this, it's either going to be a political misstep for Donald Trump and the Republican Party, I understand that. Or a historic averting of nuclear catastrophe. It is going to be one of those things. And I do think that that was weighed, people going, yeah, this could be a misstep because it'll be unpopular for a bit. But if they are close and if they're doing what we think they're doing and what they've said that they will do, we've got to avoid this country getting a nuke because then it's an arms race across that entire region of the world and instability forevermore. And point number four, what happened to Taco Trump? I keep asking you that. What happened? That was the left. Taco Trump. Taco Trump. He's a coward. He's a coward. He doesn't do anything. He always chickens out. Okay. If nothing else, when he says, don't make me count to three, you know he means what he say. So Saturday, President Donald Trump ordered the strike that took place on Iran's nuclear facilities. Here is him laying it out. In case you missed it, a short time ago, the US Military carried out massive precision strikes on the three Key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime. Fordeau, Natanz and Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle east must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. I like the way he said that part. It'd be like stealing candy from a baby. A retarded baby had the strength. I don't know if that's his whole headed soft spot. Now let me just explain to you exactly how, for those of you who maybe don't know exactly what took place and then. And then the reason why. Reference is available. So seven B2 Spirit bombers flew from Missouri to Iran about 18 hours. Another group flew west over the Pacific as a distraction, which I don't even know how necessary. That was like, hey, hey, what are you doing over there? Oh, shit. So they're like, hey, did you guys see our distraction? They're like, no, no, no. We just, there's. What are you distracting us from? Nothing. What do you mean distraction from. So 14 bunker buster bombs were dropped and that was a fordo. And he just said in a tense. And then a submarine launched Tomahawk missiles as well. Our planes were back on the way home over the ocean before Iran had any idea what happened. And here's the thing for me, I keep going, that blows my mind. All of that happening and no one had any idea. You'd think that in Iran there might have. You'd think there'd be just one. Yes, hello. You know how if I see something, I'm supposed to say something? Well, I think I saw something. That's fake news. That did never happen. Well, yeah, I mean they're stealth bombers. I mean they're 35,000, 40,000ft up. Yeah. They are undetectable. They probably had low visibility, you know, low light. They probably had good cloud coverage right on paper. But I guess I just thought with an entire nation of people, 100 million people, that there would be one detectable. Also. Also totally under attack. It's not like they're, you know, just like kind of lollygagging through life. They're currently being bombed by another nation right now. You think they'd be like all eyes on the Sky. Yes. What's about to happen. It's not just like a guy with a hot dog cart in Central park who doesn't see it coming. They're really, really looking for it. I mean, good on us for not letting him see. So taking away, whether you agree with it or not, that is pretty cool. Now, Defense Secretary, it's rock and roll. It's very cool. It is very cool. And by the way, Pete Hegseth, and I will tell you this. I do have a theory. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth definitely had to had a point to prove. After signal gate, he was making sure that there were no leaks. No one knew about it. I bet you he was like, hey, you say one word, one word, and I will kill your family. He's just got a bunch of kids locked up. Everyone in the apartment showing up. He's just eating dinner with their wives. Oh, yeah. Welcome home. Anything happened at work today? Or is it a completely normal day? Knock, knock. Who's there? Shut the up. Don't say anything. I guarantee you this guy was on a mission to make sure that no one said a word. Someone was like, some words. You're out. No words. So him and Marco Rubio both. And this is important. It's very important. They reiterated, they answered very clearly. This is not about regime change. This is about eliminating their nuclear capabilities. Okay. They were very, very clear. Now, Donald Trump hasn't been as clear, but I understand that it's very important to know, because if the regime is bad, the regime is irrelevant to us. If they don't have nukes or nuclear capabilities, sure. I get it. When people say, yeah, they shout death to America in Seattle. Yep, I understand. I get it. They don't have nuclear capabilities. The combination of nuclear capabilities and death to America, and we will kill Americans and we have killed Americans. That combination is what was a problem. Remove the capabilities, and now that is a problem for the people of Iran. That no longer, in my opinion, involves Americans. If they want a regime change, they can do it. Pete Agseth, Marco Rubio were very clear in answering, and, boy, they were on a tear. Iran found out. When POTUS says 60 days that he seeks peace and negotiation, he means 60 days of peace and negotiation. Otherwise, that nuclear program, that nuclear capability will not exist. He meant it. Are you saying there that the United States did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? That's irrelevant. I see that question being asked in the media. That's an irrelevant question. But that is the key point in U.S. intelligence assessments. You know that. No, it's not that. The, it doesn't matter if the order was given. They have everything they need to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury. Why would you bury things in a mountain 300ft under the ground? Why would you bury 60? Why do they have 60% enriched uranium? You don't need 60% enriched uranium. The only countries in the world that have uranium at 60% are countries that have nuclear weapons. But President Trump has said from over 20 years, frankly, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And ultimately he decided this is the moment, given their stonewalling, when direct military action had to be taken to prevent that from happening. They have all the elements they have. Why are they, why do they have a space program? Is Iran going to go to the moon? No, that's a question. Tehran is certainly calculating the reality that planes flew from the middle of America and Missouri overnight, completely undetected over three of their most highly sensitive sites. And we were able to destroy nuclear capabilities. And our boys in those bombers are on their way home right now. We believe that will have a clear psychological impact on how they view the future. And we certainly hope they take the path of negotiated peace. That's an accurate representation of it. That's not how intelligence is read. That's not how intelligence is used. Here's what the whole world knows. Forget about intelligence, what the IAEA knows. They are enriching uranium well beyond anything you need for a, for a civil nuclear program. Is regime change off the table? Mr. Secretary, this mission was not and has not been about regime change. The President authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self defense of our troops and our ally, Israel. Now, it seems to me that the big thing that people are upset about is the timing because of Iran and Israel. Okay? So if you believe that we're doing this because of a war for Israel, I understand that. But let me give you a little bit of perspective here. The reason for this timing is because there was a clock set for 60 days. And the reason that clock was set was because Donald Trump said, all right, we negotiate. We need to figure this out and you have to play ball. And by the way, this administration has said, of course they can have nuclear capabilities for nuclear energy. That to me is incredibly gracious. Historically. That probably wouldn't be allowed of a country as crazy as Iran that throws acid into women's faces and blinds them because they showed some ankle. So let me give you the reason for the 60 day timeline. And why Donald Trump acted. Now, you may not agree with it, but why? There's a why this timeline took place irrespective of Israel. Okay, so 60 day timeline. Why? Because Iran was enriching uranium levels towards weapon grade levels. Right. Fordeaux, where it was taking place, it was located 260 to 360ft underground. Okay. IAEA found uranium that was enriched at 83%. In fact, there's no reason for that. 83%. That's what they claim. All right, but let's take away the fact that they claim that it's. We said, look, we need to be able to inspect, we need to be able to have a conversation, we need to negotiate here and we need to make sure you're not making a nuke. So these are our terms. United states and Iran, 60 days to make sure that this happens. Why? Also because you guys are calling for the death of America, because you guys are following this ideology of the 12th Imam. But here's the other thing. They put this stuff underground. They were not, by the way, answering our calls. Put it that they were not negotiating a good faith. They missed the 60 day window. They refused to speak with us. They were acting cagey. They were holding these indirect talks through intermediaries like Amman, Rome. We wanted direct talks. We said, hey, you have to stop enrichment. Let us make sure that we know you are not enriching at this point and sit down and talk with us directly. And if you don't do that in the span of 60 days, there are going to be other alternatives. They didn't do it. That's why we, this administration did something. It was our contract of 60 days. Because of their threats to the United States of America and because they have killed our troops many times. You still may not agree with it. You still may not agree with a military strike that took out uranium enriching targets and no people whatsoever. But that's the reason we had a contract. They were scamming us. We don't need to have the entire intelligence community on board, though we do have a lot of it. We just need to know that they're not honoring the contract, that we need to ensure they aren't becoming a threat. And they were scamming us and, and jerking us around. Yeah. And so our decision was keep letting them scam us and jerk us around or do something. Yeah. And this is a regime that you said that they've done so many terrible things out there. They also have an apocalyptic worldview that you Talked about the 12th Imam and bringing about a global catastrophe to bring back their Messiah. It's like, this isn't just like some group, like, leave us alone and let us live our lives. Right. Also, people that are really pissed off about the timing of Israel. Think about what Israel did. They took out the majority of their air defenses. They took out. They had air superiority. They had control of the skies. This was the perfect time for us to fly in and not have an incident on the way in or on the way out. Yeah, why wouldn't we take advantage of that? Well, a declaration of war is not targeting sites and not people and specifically the sites that have been in contention. So where do we go from here? Look, and a lot of people out there are just presenting these options and they're also misrepresenting facts. Option one, Iran capitulates here and negotiates. They realize they have no cards left to play. That's it. Okay? This is the hand they were dealt. All right? You guys can no longer get to the point of a nuclear bomb. Your administration, your government has failed. It's not going to be. It's not going to be allowed to stay. It's not going to work with the rest of the civilized world. You screwed up, Accept it. Start playing ball. That's option one, which, by the way, Vice President J.D. vance made really clear. The Iranians really need to take some accountability and blame themselves for this because there was a 60 day window which they had plenty of time and opportunities to honor and specifically shirk their responsibilities at every given chance. Oh, of course we trust our intelligence community, but we also trust our instincts. And most importantly, we trust what the intelligence was telling us about the Iranians stonewalling the negotiation. I think that is really the hidden story here and something the media has got to report a little bit more here is that the Iranians stopped negotiating in good faith. That was the real catalyst, I think, to what the President ultimately decided to do. If we were having a productive negotiation, I think that this could have gone in a much different pathway. Unfortunately, the Iranians decided to stonewall us and we saw the consequences of that last night. Option two, and this is now, here's. By the way, option two doesn't necessarily mean World War Three, but certainly some conflict. Iran escalates. A neutered Iran attempts to escalate, I should say. And they have said that maybe U.S. bases could be legitimate targets. They've also, or there have been illusions threatening to block shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which by the way, is like 40% of the world's Tanker traffic. The problem with that is it would piss off China. And I think it's anywhere from 40 to 50% of, like, their oil has to go through there. With China, it would harm the rest of the world more than it would harm us. They're making these threats. We don't necessarily know if they even have the ability to do that. I mean, these are threats they've made for years anyway, right? Yes. And they've acted upon, too, so. Right, they have. So either Iran decides to start playing ball or they kind of keep doing what they're doing, only neutered. And here's the difference, too. The playing field has changed because President Trump made it pretty damn clear what would happen if Iran escalates. And I know people saying, you can't drop bombs and ask for peace. Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can. Yeah. We did it in 45. Yeah. And then you'll see people hear people say, actually the nukes had nothing to do with Japan surrendering. It was the Russians. I'm sure it had zero effect. So here's what Donald Trump said on Truth. He said, any retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be met with force far greater than what was witnessed tonight. Thank you. Donald J. Trump, President of the badass United States. The country who sent planes. You never saw that. You never saw. It's like, next time, hey, next time maybe we'll see the planes. No. And do nothing. Next time maybe we'll see them and go like, ah. And you know, we'll feel good about it. If there's a next time, I feel confident we could leave the stealth technology off. Yeah. Yeah. So do I. Let them watch us come. Yeah. Just like the predator when he turns off his wristband. Just. Yes. Oh, this is scarier somehow. You've been there this whole time. He also posted this on Truth on Sunday. He said it's not politically correct to use the term regime change, but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Mega. Which I eat with eggs to say. So this, of course, I would say if you take it in tandem with Pete Hegseth and with what Rubio has said means if the people want a regime change, of course, why doesn't that make sense they should do it. That's not saying we're going in to carry out a regime change. Maybe we will. I would disagree with it. Yep. I strongly disagree with regime change. Why? Cuz I don't have any faith in the Islamic world. I'm Sorry, I don't. I don't think it'll be. I don't think that Iran could possibly ameliorate the situation to the point that they get to be a good enough country for a long enough period of time that it warrants us being involved with the regime change. The threat is gone. They have a bad regime without nukes. Hey, just another shithole country. Sorry. I feel bad for the Iranian people. This one's on you. You're welcome for the help, but of course you can cue the freak out, Onyx. Here's Cernovich saying, it's interesting to see people who a week ago said no regime change trying to shame people into following the agenda which obviously setting the table for war. Fake Christians, no principles, no integrity. Even the devil can quote scripture. Judas goats. I'm not sure where he's getting most of his anger on that one. You know, I don't know. And here's the thing. I understand where someone like him lines up and thinks that this is wrong. I don't understand where people like him line up and say that folks who believe a denuclearized Iran is better for the world. Yeah, I understand people. Just like last week, I said, I would rather Israel do it. I'd rather us not go in. Of course that's what I said. But I understand why people are saying, no, now is the time to take them out. I certainly don't believe that those people are un American. I certainly don't believe that they're war hawks. I certainly don't believe it's George W. Trump. This is one that I think you can either support or not, but not claim that this is a guy who is not doing what he promised and it's not what you voted for. This is one of those things. The friendly fire occurring within the conservative community is bizarre right now. This is not one of the issues that would have resulted in that. This is not a declaration of war against the world. This is not sending American troops to die for Israel. None of that has happened. And it is amazing the efficiency with which this was carried out. I can't remember anything. Nothing in recent memory. With less collateral damage and less unintended fallout from a specific mission than this. It's honestly kind of fascinating. But Carolyn Levitt did try to address some of these concerns this morning. The President believes the Iranian people can control their own destiny. And what he said last night makes complete sense. If the Iranian regime refuses to come to a peaceful diplomatic solution, which the President is still interested in engaging in by the way, why shouldn't the Iranian people, people take away the power of this incredibly violent regime that has been suppressing them for decades? And so our posture has not changed, our military posture has not changed. These were decisive precision strikes that were successful on Saturday evening. But the President is just simply raising a good question that many people around the world are asking. And let me just address one thing here. Here. Let's go through this term. Submission. And I want to give you an analogy. Submission is the act of willingly, right. Submitting. Giving up authority to another party. Right. Submitting to that. So you can choose to do that. Iran obviously wasn't. But let's even go to. If you've ever watched mixed martial arts or a grappling sport, what is an applied submission? If someone is fighting you and someone is trying to harm you, you now lock them into a position where their only option left is to submit or have their arm broken, be choked, be killed. To apply a submission to an unwilling opponent is to remove all other options so that they have to say uncle. So that they have to tap. And that is not new. You see it in individual fights and you see it across the globe all the time. People have applied submission holds globally to avoid war, to avoid snapping the arm, to avoid knocking them out. This is that last moment, give or snap, to act like we don't understand that. To me, maybe some people don't. I think some people are being disingenuous. Yeah. I think they're trying to compare this to every other Middle east conflict that we've gotten involved in. And this isn't quite the same thing. They're. They're running far ahead and speaking as though everything is going to happen negatively to make it like everything else that we've experienced before. And I, I don't believe in that. Like, I don't cheerlead this kind of stuff. I am incredibly. I'm in awe about how our military can do this kind of stuff. It's incredible that they do that. But I said it on X right after, I said, I don't like this. It's not boots on the grounds. I just don't like it. I don't like that it had to happen very clear. Like, I don't like the necessity of it. Right. I don't want what could possibly happen next for our country and for what that could mean for people in the region that are at bases, that are exposed right now that are in harm's way. I don't like that. But I'm not gonna run out and say Trump is walking us into a war. He's not. He struck Soleimani. Yeah. We have evidence very recently of the same guy doing something very similar in striking to take out a threat and dealing with the same regime and not dragging us into a conflict. Why don't they give him that kind of leeway instead of running down to we are right back into Iraq, which is nothing like what we're dealing with right now. Right. Yeah. And like Joshua and I were talking about this morning, y' all must have forgotten, like, do you guys never want any display of military might? Yeah, it. Yeah, there's been last 25 years. I mean, people forgotten, like what we can do. Right. How often do we use the B2 bombers? Right. When's the last time you heard about them being used? It's a good point. Yeah. Although we might not ever know. Yeah. And it's funny, it's funny that they, you know, last week or whatever, Iran state media was like, something's going to happen tonight that you guys are going to remember for centuries. Well, and Trump was like, well, how about three nights later? Yeah, exactly. They're like, something is going to happen to you. Do you see these? Did you see those planes before that used that. They were there when we have backups. Yeah. Well, no other administrations act like this either. They've all gone, you know, up the channels and done all the, what they call the appropriate things. We'll talk about it later. But yeah, but yeah, they just kind of use their presidential power. And not to mention everyone's bitching about Barack Obama's red lines. Oh, man, they were crossed. They didn't do things. And then they said, Taco Trump. Yeah, Taco Trump. When, when he paused some of the tariffs because opposing nations said, you know what, we're actually going to review our tariffs and talk with Donald Trump. That was Taco. That was coward. He said 60 days. And then after 60 days, sorry, you guys crossed. I mean, they got 70, bro. Yeah, they got 70. Maybe 70, I'm estimating here. But they didn't get 60. One was when Israel started bombing. Yep. Tehran. Yep. It's been plenty more than 60 days. Yeah. Leading up to those B2 bombings. And there are quite a few points made where people will say, oh, well, Israel forced her hand. I think that's a legitimate point to make. Or Israel knew about the 60 day timeframe and thought, okay, after 60 days things are gonna get wild and woolly. We don't want to take that chance. So you do have to sort of logically look through it and say, okay, which one seems most likely? At this point, we don't know the answer. But I do know that there's a lot of fake news out there, and it's very important when dealing with global conflict to at least know what is truthful. So it's time for fake news, real news. And by the way, the best way to stay in touch with us is download the Rumble app. Follow me there. We are live 11am weekdays. Every weekday. And sometimes we have special streams. You get notifications just when we're live. That's it. You don't get. You don't get spammed. You don't get a bunch of clutter when we're live. You know, on the Rumble app, don't be watching this on YouTube or anywhere else if you see a clip there. All right, first up, fake news. You may be seeing this out there, that this strike was, by definition, from Donald Trump, unconstitutional. You know, as a member of the gang of eight, you might think that for something this consequential, we would be informed of any change in intelligence. And by the way, let's not lose sight of the fact that an offensive attack against a foreign, foreign nation is something that the Constitution reserves to the Congress of the United States. So bad enough that we weren't informed, but, you know, unconstitutional, that we didn't have the opportunity to debate and speak as the representatives of the people on what is one of the more consequential foreign policy things that this country has done in a long time. Yeah, yeah. Okay, here's the real news. All right? A stealth operation requires stealth. You don't tell journalists, if you were to say, now they're trying to say it's unconstitutional to declare war. He didn't declare war. If you are saying that it is unconstitutional to engage in a stealth operation, you are saying that we should never have any stealth bombers. You are saying that we should have no Seal Team 6. There can be no stealth if you have to let Congress know. Do you guys understand? Can you imagine? Can you imagine having to let everybody. This is not a declaration of war. No one was killed as far, and certainly no civilians. It was taking out the points of contention, the nuclear enrichment sites after a contract had already been repeatedly violated. To say that the president, who, by the way, constitutionally is the sole determinant of whether to temporarily commit armed forces to deal with a current threat, to say that that is not permissible, that a stealth mission is not, is to say that we are not allowed to have any stealth operations in the military, you know, it's concerning that a sitting representative in Congress would not know the Constitution. Not know that the president does have the right to use temporary force against another nation. Right. And then insists that we tell him. Yeah. About the stealth operation. The, the dumb, dumb who didn't even know anything in the Constitution. He represents. Right. If you. By the way, and I like him, but if you were to have told all of our representatives about this before, keep it on the down low. Rand Paul would be giving out the latitude and longy on Fox News before you. Well, you know, they're going to be going 23 degrees north and bombing this facility at about 0200 hours, I think is like, this is why the President has the authority to commit forces up to 60 days without congressional approval. Because not every strategic military strike is declaring war. You know, this happens all the time. I would have a problem if we had declared war without congressional approval. Of course, that's not what happened. And people telling you that it's unconstitutional. Well, they're selling you fake news references, links in the description. Yeah. Stealth operation in the Middle east doesn't need Elon Omar's permission. Right. Yes. You can go tell your brother husband about it. No, thanks. Let me ask. If you say it's unconstitutional, then you can no longer say that you believe you have traitors in our House of Representatives. Do you understand that? Because to say it's unconstitutional, that everyone needs to know, is to say, including people who we know are trying to subvert the United States of America. They need to know anytime there's a stealth operation, because they will tell. Yeah. The public, they will alert our enemy. That's also, I think, a big concern. The enemy is within. Yeah. They're making multiple arguments here. They're saying that it's unconstitutional, that you have to notify Congress that Congress has to go through the process of declaring war. And then also what he's trying to shoehorn in is to say, hey, I'm part of the Gang of Eight. The people that you do tell on stuff like this, typically, but I don't think you have to. That's the thing. So they're pivoting to any argument that they can find right now to try to paint Trump as bad. Trump as dictator. Look what he's dragged us into again. Right. He's dragged us into whatever it is that Iran wants to drag us into. And they have very little capability. Just to be clear. Stop Uncle. Submit. We don't want to snap your arm. We will. We will. Here's the fake news, another one that you're hearing and you're reading everywhere, actually. And I can't believe that some people are saying this, but it is out there. Quite a few, actually. Our strikes weren't even all that effective. This one strike, as impressive as it was militarily, no other nation in the world could do what we did yesterday is, could be quite ineffective in setting back the Iranian program. It may even. You are fake news. This morning, President Trump claims the US Strikes on Iran totally obliterated their nuclear facilities. But as the US Works to assess the extent of the damage, officials at the United nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA says it's too soon to judge the extent of the damage and they're not sure where Iran has stashed its stockpile of enriched uranium. Okay, here's the real news. Our strikes were effective. They were incredibly effective. They're as effective as any modern military strike that, that we can remember. Okay. Now this is where Donald Trump gives them some ammo, where he goes it completely obliterated. Right. They have nothing at all. You could hear a rat piss out and cotton. But the truth is if it's not perfect, doesn't mean it's ineffective. Okay. Yeah. Just to be clear, they are incredibly effective. Iran, we know they no longer have the equipment to turn enriched uranium into functioning weapons. They are at least meeting at a minimum setback, two to five years as far as their nuke program. Okay, that is not up for debate. Is it perfect? Do they still have some other stashes? Kinda, maybe. We don't know. But we know that what they need to turn what we were concerned about, enriched uranium, into nuclear weapons doesn't exist anymore. Yeah, almost sounds like these people don't want America to be successful at anything. It's also under a mountain. I'm not sure exactly what you're gonna look to see. Right. You know, I mean, it's not going to look like a destroyed building or something like that, but something at the very end of that that I think we're all kind of glossing over this, the iaea, this is one of the things they've come out and said, I think either today or over the weekend is that they don't know where the enriched uranium is. That's kind of the point that everybody making the argument that Iran was just doing this for negotiations and that we knew where stuff was and everything was under control until big bad Trump decided to go in and bomb them. We don't know exactly where it is. We're hitting a Lot of different places to make sure. Iran is obviously not playing this game the right way. They're not negotiating in good faith, like you said. They're hiding stuff and not telling anybody about it. Why do you do that? Do you do that to negotiate? No. You do that to develop a bomb. Yeah. Why do you hide them in mountains? And why do you enrich them past the state where you're now in a category? There are only, only other countries with nukes who have uranium enriched to that degree. There's only two things you hide deep in a mountain. Okay. Enriched uranium intended for nuclear weapons and one ring to rule them all. Yes, yes, yes. And I don't know which is worse. Those movies goes on for like 19 hours. They do. Sorry. Glorious hours. Here's, here's the other fake news that you'll read. Okay? World War 3, Russia, Pakistan, other countries are now allying with Iran. Our worst fears are coming true. Here's the real news. Bullshit. She said it best. Let me give you as to where this claim comes from. This claim, and here's the thing. You may read it in 50 places and the sort of overwhelming nature that makes you think, oh, well, it must be true, comes from one source. And this happens a lot. Happens a lot. By the way, you guys kind of know, right? Same people who said, hey, there were no nuclear weapons or. Right. That came from kind of one source and that's why you're mad about it. And then it was amplified. Same thing here. Imagine a bunch of places saying Russia's involved. It's one. And it comes from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev putting this on X. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads. The problem is he's not the current president. He has no official role. And in its own official response, the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the US but offered pretty much no concrete support to Iran and actually said we should probably try and do this diplomatically. So Medvedev, no power, unofficial said that here's official from Russia. We call for an immediate end to aggression and for stepping up efforts to bring the situation back onto a peaceful diplomatic track. Which war are they talking about? 3. World War 3. And that is a magic number. I thought they're talking about their war, their three year war. Okay, I see how it can be confusing. So Donald Trump actually just chimed in on true social. If you want to read his response to this, the Russian foreign minister. All right, let's see what Donald Trump just said. Hopefully it's. I can't see can you zoom in a little bit? Because I can't see it. It's a smile. Did I hear former President Medvedev from Russia casually throwing around the N word? Nuclear. Nuclear. The N word. Nuclear. I shed nuclear. Nuclear. Nuclear. Soft gun. This is why we all have news. Cause shame on a nuclear. Who try to run game on a nuclear. Kyle whet the trigger. Nuclear's in Paris. Hold on, let me keep reading it. And saying that he and other countries wouldn't supply nuclear warheads to Iran. Did he really say that or is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and if confirmed, please let me know immediately. The N word nuclear should not be treated so casually. I guess that's why Putin's the boss. By the way, if anyone thinks our hardware was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our nuclear submarines. Not wrong. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built. And just launched the 30 Tomahawks. All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So in addition to our great fighter pilots, thank you to the captain and the crew. So back to this Russia. Pretty clear the real. The Russian officials said no diplomacy. Diplomacy. And then when people say. And Pakistan, I don't know if you guys actually. Again, it stems from one post from Pakistan. They barely even issued a condemnation. And they have to say something. But again, they also called for dialogue. Recourse to a dialogue. Diplomacy, in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter remain the only viable pathway to resolve the crisis in the region. Please, we need to keep our nooks for India. They poop in the streets. So it's unconstitutional. No, it's not. So it wasn't effective? It's incredibly effective. Other nations are jumping in for World War Three. They've only said the opposite. Does it. Does it guarantee that they're not lying? No, of course not. I don't trust Pakistan and I don't like them. And I don't trust Russia and I don't like them. But they are saying, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Game, set, match, guys. Start doing what you were supposed to do. Start doing what you're supposed to do. You set the 60 days you agreed to it. Stop playing games, because this is not going to go anywhere. Well, okay. That's where we are. You can let me know. We'll take your chance. If you agree with it, if you disagree with it, and if you think this was all too. Do you still believe that this was about sending American bodies to Die for Israel. That's a question that I have because I've heard a lot of people say that. I don't believe that. But I also think a case can be made that we maybe shouldn't have done this. I think a case can be made. I also think that it's a net result is a very good thing that Iran can't build nukes. That's my opinion. I have one question we haven't heard from, you know, a lot of people about it. Is Greta Thunberg on her way? Yes. To give aid to the casualty? Less. Yeah. Yeah. Because she really wants Skynet to fall, but she wants Egyptians to beat her, too. How dare you. I dare. I should be in school right here. If she thought Egypt was bad. Oh, my gosh. Try and go protest in Iran. Oh, boy. With a face like that, they probably think she's possessed. Yes, they would. This one's already. Why doesn't she blink? Yes. This is why we don't drink alcohol. So our babies don't come out like this. This is why you wear. Wear the burqa. That's right. So that you don't see those crazy eyes. That's right. Someone's going to marry that thing. Poor son of a bitch. So here's something else. We can argue over that or we can have a fruitful discussion, but there can be no debate about the fact that the New York Times sucks. It's time for media malpractice. So some people are mad because of what they misunderstand as constitutional authority. Some people are saying this is not what they voted for. Okay. Some people, like the New York Times, are mad because of gender. This comes from the New York Times. In the briefing, Hegseth referred to the B2 pilots as our boys on those bombers. Yet both men and women have trained to fly them. Oh, the horror. What a fag. You forgot about the women, old pitty boy. Checkmate. Thing is, we don't care. Although some women were trained. But the truth is, they didn't path. They didn't path. They didn't pass the stealth portion of the test. Culver 6, what's your sit rep? I'm out to the target. Roger. But your tracking system says you've been circling a location in St. Louis. Why do you always insist on being a backseat driver? Driver. What are you circling? I told you. Target. Oh, for the level. You mean actual target, like the store. I need a Snuggie. It's cold up there. I can keep you warm in the cabin of my rig. Candy King, I want the love station off I64. What's that? Oh, God. Did you forget to encrypt your radio again? Damn it, Cobra 6. I tried my best, okay? I don't know what you want from me. Candy can? Candy Cane. He's just looking for a friend. That movie messed with me. Yeah. Anytime I see a radio, I'm like, here's the thing. Let's go on to this, too. Some other assholes. So this is not lost on me that there are war hawks in the Republican Party and they are hurting all of the dialogue. So for those of you who want to say George W. Trump. No. But if you want to say George W. Bolton, I'll allow it. Here are some Republicans who actually do seem to want to try nation building again. Which I could. I want to be super clear. I think is dumb. Like, really stupid. John Bolton, who's never met a war he didn't want to fight. No. On to regime change. Now. Has he fought in one himself? Yeah, I don't believe so. Not any time recently. On to regime change. Onto changing your Depends, you old prick. And I like Mark Levin. He's been on the show. He's been a friend of mine. But he wrote, the Iranian regime must be destroyed, you dummy. Looks like Iranian Nazi regime is not long for this earth again. Again, we should not be involved in regime change. The bad regime is just a bad regime. If they don't have nukes. If they have nukes. That's not about America. First, because it's concern to America. It's not our business to liberate the Iranian people. That's where you get into it. Seems like a Jew Islamic thing. Lindsey Graham. He's a homer. Count me in for any way possible to make Iran great again by making it decent again. I don't even know what that means. Count me in for punching you in your stupid face. And then this one. Really, I'm just being clear here. And some people get mad no matter what I say. Tammy Bruce used to be a talk show host. I've spent time with her. Full disclosure. Very nice. Very kind to me. Lesbian. She's a State Department spokesperson. And when she said this, this is everything that is wrong with the people who do exist in the Republican Party who have no business being in charge of anything. Listen to what she says about the USA being the greatest country. The pride of being able to be here and do work that facilitates making things better for people. And in the greatest country on earth. Next to Israel. Fuck. It's an honor to Be able to make a difference and to be able to speak in this regard with an administration that I, you see how she said it? And, and I, she said it like, oh, shit, I forgot to be represented by. You see, I like her Israeli outfit, though. The blue and the white. Very nice. Yeah, I don't. She can go live there. Look, look, look, look, look. All right, all right. Which is greater, Steven? Israel or America? Okay. I am a Bible believing Christian and I also understand that the people of Israel, not the nation, is God's chosen people. Again, I'm not going to. That being said, the United States is many magnitudes greater than Israel. It's not even close. There isn't even a race. Like, they're not even in the same league. Most notably, because one nation, Israel, would not exist without the other. I don't know what possessed her to say this, by the way. We only ran that clip longer so that you could see we didn't take it out of context. That is someone who availed information, who could have said nothing. So I'm going to tell you that the Tammy Bruce's of the world, the Lindsey Graham's of the world, the John Bolton's of the world, they are a problem. Their viewpoint is a problem. And it is not America First. That has nothing to do with this. Can you guys. Do you honestly think that what Tammy Bruce, John Bolton and Lindsey Graham said, do you think that that's in line with Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump? Please just let me know. No, absolutely not. Yeah, and this just gives ammunition to every anti Semitic or even people that are just anti Semitic adjacent, you know, whatever you want to call them, just like, see, I told you. And I'm like, listen, I kind of get your point now. Yeah. I'm like, I don't. Oh, I definitely get your point. I don't agree. I hate what she said. I'm not. And not for anti Semitic reasons. I don't want her to say any country. No, of course America's the greatest country on earth. Well, next to Egypt. But this doesn't have. I don't give a rat's ass if she says Luxembourg, which isn't even a real country. It's a place where people stow away their money. I don't care. I don't care if you. By the way, this person is a spokesperson for the State Department, meaning she's a spokesperson for the country that she thinks is not as good as the other country, which clearly isn't as good. What are the. What's the job Interview like, hey, you want to be a spokesperson for this country? Yes, I do. Do you think it's the greatest country? No, I do not. Next. I know, I know. She should be former. I'm sure she said it as if another person from another country was saying something like, and Germany, the greatest country. Well, I mean, besides America, obviously. Right. Yeah. Yes. I mean we, we love Germany. Yes. Viva Germany. But. Right. I mean, yeah, you guys know America's out there. It's also weird to call viva Germany Germany. I'm a Dutch Mexican. Yeah, no, there's one German Mexican on Taco Tuesday. I'm going to have a monopoly. The food court business is booming. Nobody eats it over there. Yes, I'd like to have the Wiener schnitzel quesadilla. That's right. I think of a German and I want it right now with the chimay. That's Belgian. Sorry. You don't have the same overhead, do you, as the brick and mortar restaurants. Interesting. You must be you then. You know me. We made great use of trucks in the past as well. And trains or the food trains. Just shower trays. Oh, Germany sucks. Okay. Germany sucks. I'm sorry, there is no. And let me, I'm sorry for swearing. I just, I can't believe that someone would say, let me. You know, here's something else. Here's something else. How about this? How about we now use this as leverage? Let me, let me tell you my problem with Israel here. We now inspect your weapons. Yes. We now know whether you guys have nukes and how many. And here's the thing, this big boogeyman has been taken. And by. And I'm not saying that it was ill founded, but if Israel finds another one, if Israel finds another threat outside of Iran and this axis of evil to say that they need our intervention at any point in the next 10 years, it's. No. Our policy is you are on your own. And our policy should be if we don't get to see how many nukes you have, if we don't get to. If you don't sign to this treaty, you are no longer our friend. Would that, would that be sort of a consolation that people might be on board with? What do you want I should do? Show you my stuff? Yes, yes. Everybody else. I'll show you if you show me mine. No, wait. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. The point is it's gay. All right. We're going to continue, by the way, with. Not to be outdone, a sheriff in California. Oh, Geez. Expressing condolences for the people of Iran. I'm glad they're on the ball. So if you are, we're going to continue with this and your chats because it's one of those historical moments where we need to take some chats. Click that button, you can join Rumble Premium.
