Yeah, I mean, most Americans aren't aware of it. Our troops in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 150 plus times by Iranian proxies. And when we say Iranian proxies, we got to be clear on what that is. That's the Iraqi government that we pay because after the Iraqi military we spent 2 trillion on surrendered to ISIS, we had to go back in there in very short order and stand a military back up again. And guess who filled the breach? The Shia militias controlled by Iran did. And the Iraqi government. Governments controlled by Iran. Okay, then. President Trump is again not happy with NATO and their lack of willingness to protect their own interests in the Strait of Hormuzing. On truth social quote. The United States has been informed by most of our NATO allies and scare quotes. They don't want to get involved with our military operation against the terrorist regime in Iran in the Middle East. This despite the fact that almost every country strongly agreed with what we're doing and that Iran cannot in any way shape or form be allowed to have a nuclear weapon or. I'm not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Protecting these same countries to be a one way street. We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us in particular in a time of need. He also stated, Well, that's just what we need on a day we're filling in for Steve. Dase filling in on the Steve Day show. A complete and utter fart of a video there. Let's go to this half of what happened while we were away brought to you by in full by Jevity, our friends at Jevity. I want to talk to you guys. And we talk all the time about doing anything, of course, for our families. Work 70 hours a week, coach the team, fix the house at midnight. But ask the time they got an in depth blood work done. Ask the last time you asked somebody like Steve or Todd or myself who are guardians of our families. The last time we got in depth blood work done. And most of the time we'll probably go quiet. Here's the truth nobody wants to say aloud. If you get hit with chronic illness or God forbid, cancer, you can't provide for your family from a hospital bed. You can't coach the team between chemo treatments and if the worst happens, you're not there at all. You can't protect your family if you don't know what happens inside your own body. Jevote tests over 100 markers, not the measly panel. Your insurance covers the real stuff. Hormones, inflammation, cardiac levels. Things that show you what's coming before there's a crisis. A phlebotomist comes to you on your schedule. That's your dedicated specialist actually explaining what the labs mean and what to do about them. The guys who prioritize their health aren't paranoid. They're the ones who plan to be around for the long haul. Go to gojevity.com dace use the code dace for 20% off.

So we'll have to do this in somewhat of an augmented or altered sort of way, Todd, since my computer completely crashed. Our playback machine completely crashed in the middle of that. Let's go back to front with what we actually covered in the montage because there was a lot more there that was supposed to go on for another four or five minutes or so. Let's start with what you didn't see. I ended the montage with a few quick hitters and we'll hit those quickly in turn as well, Todd, the story Wall Street Journal is now reporting an uptick in heart attacks amongst those under the age of 55, including a severe uptick amongst females starting around 2021. We're celebrating, if you want to call it celebrating, the five year anniversary of when the then, I believe, CDC director came on to CNN to say that the Pfizer vaccine was 100% effective. Well, it took five years, Todd, and it seems like the Pfizer vaccine might have been 100% effective, just not against the stuff that it was talking about. That was one story. I grouped these two stories in as well because I think it's touching on a number of things about the spirit of this age. A couple of stories, a tranny out of Washington state, thanks to a cybertick, got arrested last week. Dude pretending to be a woman claimed the moniker of quote unquote youth advocate, got arrested on child sex crimes, including the rape of an infant as well as child sexual exploitation. The president of the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania LGBTQ Rainbow Jihad group and a former Democrat mayor in that neck of the woods also got arrested on kitty porn charges. And the end of the montage was this. I don't know if you saw this from independent journalist Caitlin Bennett, who went to the streets of some city in Florida at a St. Patty's Day parade, went up to people and asked them, hey, if you saw somebody in a MAGA hat yelling make America great again, and you saw another person across the street in a turban saying allahu Akbar, who would you more trust? And every single one of them, especially the lesbian who said, I would trust the person yelling Allahu Akbar more. Every one of them said the person yelling Allu Akbar. Other than the, you know, other than that lefties have a wonderful singing voice. Also included in the montage that was not played. Maybe we can repair it and I'll put it out on X later. Today, we have Democrats trying not to say the quiet part out loud. Challenge level impossible. Believe it's Senator Markey. He was on the floor of the Senate during the debate, also known as failure Theater. I'll get to that in just a little bit. Talking about how this bill, the Save America act, its primary objective is to ensure that people groups that primarily vote for Democrats don't vote for Democrats. Senate, my jordy leader. And yes, I'm mispronouncing that on purpose. Senate Majority Leader John Thune gave an interview to Bret Baier at Fox News. We don't have the vote. We don't have 51 votes. Well, what about what about a talking filibuster. We just don't have 51 votes to do that. And if we did the talking filibuster, Brett, this is what John Thune said. If we did the talking filibuster, that means the Democrats would be able to put on a number of amendments, and any time that an amendment failed, the clock would just go back to zero. That's not true. Now, technically, yeah, sure, the clock would go back to zero. Does your body clock go back to zero after that during a talking filibuster? Heck, no. And just said, hey, there's a lot of. He basically, I'm not paraphrasing too far off of what he said. The Democrats would be able to get us on, on the record on issues like abortion and Obamacare and, And men and women, sport. He said all of this. And we just. I mean, that's. Those are hard political votes that we just don't want to take. So there's that Lindsey Graham shooting a shot again. Calls on President Trump to take over Kharg Island. We were right in the middle of President Trump's screed against NATO. Although that's kind of another day that ends in Y these days. But, Todd, I want to go back to what was towards the front of the montage, the part that we did actually get to see before my computer conked out. Joe Kent, you and I talked about this yesterday on the overtime, and I just want to say I've kind of reconsidered what I said then and some of the things that I've said on social media yesterday. Joe Kent, he is the now former director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He released his resignation statement yesterday. Gonna try to find that for you real quick. And I just want to read it because I want. I think it's necessary to reset so we don't take him completely out of context. Here is in his resignation letter, quote, President Trump, after much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism center effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war with Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. And it is clear we started this war due to pressure from Israel Ding. And its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on, campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that wars in the Middle east were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qassam Soleimani and by defeating isis. ISIS Defeating isis Early on in this administration, high ranking Israeli Ding officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America first platform and sowed pro war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States that you should strike now. There is a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis Ding used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again. This goes on from Joe Kent, former National Counterterrorism center in his resignation letter. As a veteran who deployed combat 11 times and as a Gold star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel Ding4 I cannot support sending our next generation often to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives. I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, who we are doing it for. Ding, the time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation or you can allow us to slip towards decline and chaos. You hold the cards. So no fewer than at least four times, probably five times in Joe Kent's resignation letter yesterday, he directly invokes Israel as being the primary cause in his opposition to this war, intimating and overtly saying that they roped us into another war even though those very shaky, flimsy and I'm giving it the maximum benefit of the doubt, he invoked the Iraq war. There's basically no good evidence, solid evidence that Israel was trying to get us to go to war. There's actually more evidence that I've seen anyway, you're more than welcome to present real evidence. The other direction. There's more evidence saying that Israel was cautioning us against going to war with Iraq. But that's neither here nor there. But repeating these anti Israel tropes again. However, I just want to put out there after reflecting on what I said yesterday in the overtime, if you saw that and you're a BlazeTV subscriber and after further reflection of what I put out on social media yesterday, basically saying that this stinks to high heaven and the spells of opportunism more than genuine courage, Courageousness, conscientious objector. Upon further reflection, I just want to say I was absolutely right. You heard the clip there on Sean Ryan's show a few weeks ago, a few months ago. You could make the case in the context of that clip. Maybe Joe Kent was making the case that hey, why are we over there at all? But he says in that clip, hey, we've been attacked over a hundred times. Our installations have been attacked over a hundred times by Iranian proxies. Yet now all of a sudden, three months later, they pose no imminent threat. Now I agree, I have no idea why we're still in the Middle East. I've got a buddy, a stone's throw away, a lifelong friend of mine, a stone's throw away. Just talked to him yesterday. Stone's throw away from Iran right now. I don't want him over there. I don't know why Iowa boys are going over there. I wish he weren't there. I genuinely believe what we are doing to Iran right now has been very effective. I wish, selfishly, I want to make that clear, selfishly, my buddy weren't over there right now. I wish he was home with his wife and less than a year old daughter. Maybe that's the case that Joe Kent was making. But you can't turn around and say that Iran poses no threat, is basically this peaceful little kitty cat while also saying in the same breath that their proxies have attacked our forces stationed over there over a hundred times when we weren't in open conflict with Iran as we are now. I also just want to say and restate because this I think deserves a larger audience. I'm just going to do a little bit of math for you, Todd, just a little bit of math. And I know you'll track with this. I hope everyone will as well. Joe Kent serving as the director of the National Counter Terrorist, Counter Terrorism Center, Counter Against Terrorism, the National Counterterrorist or Terrorism Center, Iran, the number one state sponsor of terrorism on the face of the planet, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Iran number one sponsor, state sponsor of terrorism on the face of the planet. Do you think if there's one person maybe on the face of the planet who might know if it is true, whether or not Iran is the number one state sponsor of terrorism on the face of the planet, do you think it might be the director of the National Counterterrorism Center? I think it might be true. Which is why I totally agree that Joe Kent probably had more access to information than any of us when it came to these decisions. Which is why it's absolutely mind boggling three weeks into an open war with the number one state sponsor of terrorism on the face of the planet that he decides to blame Israel for roping us into, quote, another war in the Middle East. Maybe I kind of think if you saw these tea leaves as soon as last year, June of last year, I kind of think that maybe you could see the writing on the wall. We might be going back to war with Iran or might be going to war with Iran. Maybe that's time to start beating the drum louder and louder. I've had people say, well he has been saying that when war is on the line, you need to say it a little bit louder. If I had no idea he was saying that. Had you ever seen that, Todd? I'd never seen him say a thing about this.
