The thing that drives me every day as a dad is Dariona. We call him Dae Dae for short. Every day he's hungry for something, whether it's attention, affection, knowledge. And there's this huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer under my wing that he's a good person. I want him to be able to sit back one day and go, we worked together. We did a good job.

The latest intelligence coming out right now is that the United States operation on the Iranian nuclear facilities was largely a failure. A centrifuge at one of the facilities remains intact. It did damage some of these nuclear facilities, but but the nuclear facilities can be made operational in a few months potentially. And also it's being reported as well that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was largely moved before US Strikes, according to a new New York Times report. Also, the New York Times is confirming an exclusive by CNN that the nuclear sites were damaged, but they were not destroyed, rendering the mission by and large a failure. In stark contradiction, Donald Trump was repeatedly posting over and over again. Donald Trump had posted that all of the nuclear sites were absolutely obliterated. He declared an absolute success. He said that the damage to the nuclear sites were monumental. But with everything that Donald Trump says, you always have to kind of take a step back because he is always lying. There was supposed to be a bipartisan briefing earlier today in the House and in the Senate. It was going to be Democrats and Republicans from the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, people with top level classified access. These this classified meeting was abruptly canceled at Donald Trump's demand. Donald Trump refused to make people from his administration accessible. He claims that it was just to delay it for Thursday. But I think that it especially now as we're getting some of the information, it obviously seems that Donald Trump was trying to cover up the latest intelligence out there, which is that These operations that Trump was bragging about did not achieve the objective of the mission. Let's go through what we know right now. So CNN dropped the exclusive. Early U.S. intel assessment suggests that these strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites. The US Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last week did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US Intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US Strikes, according to sources. Now, I think one of the reasons that this leaked was this information was supposed to be provided in a classified setting to Congress earlier in the day before the Trump regime canceled it. We now have a statement out from Trump regime propagandist Caroline Levitt. She says the following. The alleged assessment is flat out wrong and was classified as top secret, but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous low level loser in the intelligence community. Pause right there. So isn't she essentially admitting it right there? You take away all of the stuff they say, look, loser and all of that. But you know, if they're saying that this was a top secret classified assessment, isn't she essentially admitting that that's what the assessment said? She goes on to say the leaking of this alleged assessment is, is a clear attempt to demean President Trump and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop 14, 14 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets. Total obliteration. We do know what happens when the Trump regime speaks and they lie about absolutely everything. And that appears to be what is taking place as well. New York Times reporting the strike set back Iran's nuclear program by only a few months. The US Report says now that the New York Times has its hands on those reports as well. Um, also seems like the cease fire that Donald Trump claimed existed, which we were telling you, seemed to be BS as well, that that is not being followed either. The latest data that we have from Israel's military chief of staff, they say the campaign against Iran is not over and that strikes will almost certainly continue. No wonder Donald Trump's approval right now has sunk to 40%. His disapproval is at 50%. This is Trump's lowest approval from the Gallup poll and it's consistent with The Quinnipiac we showed you, the YouGov, the Reuters Ipsos, which all have him anywhere from around 38 to 40% of approval. Some of the worst approval rankings in presidential history at this time. Okay, let's talk about Trump canceling the hearing earlier today, the classified briefing that was supposed to take place on the Hill, Rep. Democratic Congressmember Jason Crow announced, completely unacceptable. The Trump administration canceled our briefing. Congress and the American people deserve answers from the Trump administration. America does not want to be pulled into another Middle east conflict. We deserve answers now. Who was supposed to be at the briefing? Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, Director of the CIA General Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Christopher Landau, Deputy Secretary of State, and Steven Feinberg, Deputy Secretary of Defense. Marco Rubio was never supposed to be there anyway. You saw the list right there. So the fact that they're using it as an excuse that Rubio is not there is total bs. One of the things that we also know as well is that the Iranian Parliament committee has approved a general plan to suspend all cooperation with the iaea, according to multiple news agencies and according to Iranian tv. Now, this is significant because all Donald Trump has done now now is cause Iran to speed up its nuclear program and now have absolutely zero oversight from the iaea. And also Iran leaning into its allies abroad, Russia, China and North Korea following the failed strikes by the United States. I reported earlier, as New York Times did, officials were conceding that they did not know the fate of Iran's uranium stockpile. But there was lots of photographs leading up to the US strikes that showed 15 to 17 Iranian trucks going into the facility. And many people believe that that's being was triggered by Donald Trump announcing his intentions on social media and bragging about it at various press conferences that Donald Trump had. That also we were covering here on the Midas Touch Network. So from that New York Times article, there was evidence, according to two Israeli officials. Now that's confirmed by our own damage assessment by our Department of Defense. These Israeli officials with knowledge of the intelligence talked about how Iran had moved equipment and uranium from the site in recent days. And there was growing evidence that the Iranians, attuned to Mr. Trump's repeated threats to take military action, had removed 400 kilograms, or roughly 880 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% purity. This is just below the 90% that is usually used for nuclear grade weapons. Democratic Congress member and veteran Pat Ryan, he said the following. Trump just canceled a classified House briefing on the Iran strikes with zero explanation. The real reason he claims he destroyed all nuclear facilities and capability. His team knows they can't back up his bluster and be bs. Here's what they're scared will ask. Immediately after the strikes, Trump claimed the nuclear facilities were completely and totally obliterated. He lied and likely still doesn't know the full damage assessment. And now Congressmember Pat Ryan posted that before we now learned that the damage assessment says that this operation was largely a failure. What he does know is that an unsuccessful strike dramatically increases the chance Iran races to break out. Vance, J.D. vance admitted that they have no clue about the status of the 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium. The entire logic of the attack was that Iran was imminently building a nuclear weapon. If that's the case, not that they've shared the intel, then the 900 pounds of the uranium is a huge problem. They also can't get their briefers on the same page. Every one of the people who were supposed to come today has a different conclusion on how close Iran was to breaking out and how successful the operation was. Tulsi Gabbard probably still doesn't know it was canceled. A few other questions I prepared. How are we protecting US Troops in the region from the PMF and other Iranian backed militias? How are we ensuring we keep the Strait of Hormuz open? Is there elevated risk to the homeland and something I probably should have started with. His team sure as hell wasn't ready to explain to Congress how this strike was even constitutional or why they broke longstanding precedent and only briefed Republican members of the Bipartisan Gang of Eight prior to the strikes. I'm hoping for peace. I'm praying for peace. But I will not in the American people cannot take Trump's lies on topics of this magnitude. Sitting down here is Democratic Congressman and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar after the Housewide classified briefing on Iran and Israel was postponed. And now we know it was likely postponed because of the damage assessment that just came out showing that the strikes were largely a failure. Here's Congressmember Aguilar. Let's play this clip right here.
