Tim Pool: 我认为特朗普政府在移民问题上有所退让,开始考虑保护在农场工作的非犯罪移民。民主党人错误地认为特朗普只会针对罪犯,而实际上,反对非法移民的人希望针对所有非法移民。我个人认为,所有非法移民都应该被驱逐出境,无论年龄大小。我不会因为非法移民的困境而动摇,即使是孩子哭泣。我们不能把所有的东西都白白送给别人。特朗普计划在民主党控制的城市进行大规模驱逐行动,我支持他。减少非法移民可以提高工人工资,如果政府认真执法,许多非法移民会选择自己离开。美国人可以从事农业工作,而且农产品的价格应该反映真实的劳动力成本。驱逐非法移民可能会导致物价下降,更多人就业,生活质量提高。联邦储备系统的通货膨胀是真正的问题。如果美国人从事这些工作,利润会下降,贫富差距会缩小。自由派人士对内布拉斯加州在移民突袭后恢复情况的文章反应冷淡,不关心美国人正在填补这些工作岗位。我同意应该对雇用非法移民的公司处以重罚,并将相关人员送进监狱。特朗普加强执法已经产生了积极影响,我支持他。我不关心MAGA崇拜,我关心的是如何让美国再次伟大。

Donald Trump will launch one of the largest ice operations nationally, flooding major cities like L.A. and New York with ice agents to go after everyone. Now, it's a bit strange. Donald Trump came out last week and he said, you know, I was talking to the farmers and they need him. He said there were a lot of great people. They've been here for 20 years. They're not criminals. And they work on farms. And we got we got to protect our farmers.

Instant backlash with MAGA base saying that he was selling out to these big farm factory farm companies and not the little guy, not the real farmer who's making good, high quality products. It seems like Trump is sort of backing away from this. He tests the trial balloon, testing the waters, as it were. Now, the Democrats are playing this game and the liberals where they say things like,

I can't believe it. Trump is not going after criminals. He's going after regular people working on farms. They're creating a false narrative that the intention of the Trump administration and their expectation was only that Trump would go after criminals. When quite literally, if you ask anybody who opposes illegal immigration, it was to go after everyone. Personally, I believe that every single illegal immigrant, no matter what,

Should be deported. I don't care if they're a baby or they're 99. I am not. And so the game they play, of course, is like you want to put them in gulags and send them to Venezuela. No, no, no, no. I'm saying if there is a baby that is brought here illegally.

You know what we're going to do? We're going to make sure that baby gets the best treatment, the safe, hydrated, happy, get in all the formula or with its mother. And we're going to say, we're going to give you a ride home. That's it. And they're going to play this game where quite literally giving a ride home to these people is a death sentence. I am playing that game. You're not going to tug on my heartstrings. It's not going to work. This game where the child cries. So, oh, no, burn the constitution ain't happening for me, dude.

Imagine it this way. My favorite analogy, and you've heard it before, but for those that didn't. Some dude breaks into your house, and he is sleeping on your couch, and he has stolen your food. And you go, hey, freeze. Don't move, mister. You broke into my house, and that's a serious crime, so I'm going to give you a ride home. Come this way. I have a vehicle waiting. It's very comfortable, and we're going to drive you to your house, and I'm going to drop you off. And the guy goes, but my house sucks. We don't have AC. Our water is dirty. My heat is bad. And you go,

Well, I'm sorry, but you can't stay here. Two Democrats? It's like you've murdered him. Oh, no, I have to go back to where I live. Don't care. There is no reality in which we can exist where we just give all our stuff away. It's the stupidest thing imaginable. So here's the plan from Trump. The New York Post.

President Trump announced plans to flood Democrat-run cities, namely New York, L.A., and Chicago, with new, larger waves of immigration and customs enforcement agents to bring about the single largest mass deportation program in history. Huge.

Trump highlighted the sweeping change targeting the majority Democrat cities on Truth Social Sunday night as he praised ICE agents for their incredible strength, determination and courage. Now, of course, I am for it. But what say you cities with illegal immigrants? Oh, boy. From The New York Post, nearly one million illegal immigrants have self-deport under Trump, which has led to higher wages. Oh, really?

While ICE arrests and deportations have grabbed headlines, President Trump is also running a separate but completely mass deportation program, one that encourages aliens here unlawfully to go home voluntarily. And if reports are correct, the plan is more successful than anyone could have imagined. Based on government data, my organization, the Center for Immigration Studies, this is written by Andrew Arthur, by the way, this is not my, this is a quote, their organization has

has considerably estimated there are about 15.4 million illegal aliens in the U.S., a 50% increase over the four tumultuous Biden years. That's no surprise given how Biden and the DHS handled it. We get it. Now that he's back in office, Trump and Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, they're getting it down. We get it. Thank you. Get to the point. And it goes on to say DHS launched this big program. Indeed, indeed. And blah, blah, blah. In other words, with fewer illegal immigrants, businesses have had to raise wages to attract workers.

But aliens will only leave if they believe Trump and Homan are serious about the arrests. DHS can't arrest and deport 15.4 million illegal aliens. But if it simply enforces the law, many aliens will get the message and leave on their own. Indeed, in this report from NBC News, how a city in Nebraska is recovering after the state's largest worksite immigration raid. Excuse me.

Omaha is trying to forge ahead following the raids chilling effect on the local workforce in Pena at large. You don't keep hearing from liberals, from Democrats. But if you deport our illegal immigrants, who's going to pick your crops? And I'm just like Americans. That's it. The job will become available and it will pay what it has to pay. And your strawberries will cost what they have to cost. Cry more about it.

Democrats historically been been complaining that someone else should pick their crops for dirt wages, if not none. They argue that illegal immigrants, they have no work safety provisions. They get paid under the table. They get paid garbage. And that's their argument for keeping them. They say, you know, if you get rid of our strawberry harvesters, your strawberries will become more expensive and you'll regret it. Now, I won't.

I mean, some people are going to be mad because they're not going to understand why prices are going up. But I think for those of us that truly understand why prices would go up, we ain't going to be crying all that much about it. Mostly, it's going to eat into the profits of the fat cats who tend to be Democrats and want cheap over-the-border labor. Here's what's happening. How are they recovering?

NBC says every seat in the waiting area of Glen Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications Thursday afternoon. Two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska. Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job. Others were coming in for training.

You mean to tell me that when you kick out all of the illegals who are illegally working in this country, regular Americans take those jobs? I can't believe it. I'm going to give you guys some assistance. I made a video about this like six, seven years ago, but I'm going to explain to you now. I say, you know, I don't know, but probably brings up once a year, maybe once every other year. If you got a call right now, all of you out there listening from McDonald's,

And instantly I got 100 comments saying it's McDonald's, Tim, not McDonald's. Shut up. If you get a call from McDonald's and they said, we want you to run the register in Omaha, Nebraska at our new location, what would you say? Most people, you know what they say? They say no. I don't want to work at McDonald's. That's what they say. That's the wrong answer.

I was talking to a buddy of mine, and here's the example. You know, I'm in New York. This dude's a video producer. He expects to make a six-figure job. He's a specialist. And I said, McDonald's calls you up right now and offers you a job in Times Square working the register. What are you saying? He's like, no, I wouldn't. No. And I was like, why would you say no? Because I don't want to work at the register at McDonald's. I said, oh, I'd say how much? That's the right answer.

And I said, no, the correct answer is how much? And he goes, yeah, but I don't want to work at McDonald's. So I don't even care to ask. And I said, once again, wrong answer. Okay. The reason the answer is how much? And he's like, yeah, they're going to pay 12 to 20 bucks an hour. And I was like, okay, then your next response is I want 50 bucks an hour. I said, would you work at McDonald's for 50 bucks an hour? And he's like, I don't know. I mean, maybe not. It's McDonald's. It's not a job I want to do. It's not where my career goes. And I said, okay.

What if they said $200,000 a year to work to register at McDonald's in Times Square? He was like, yeah, I'd take it. And I'm like, well, there's your answer. And if they tell you no, guess what? You didn't take a job you didn't want in the first place. So when they say, when they say, but if illegal immigrants don't do the jobs, who will? The companies are going to have to increase wages. That's what the left has been claiming they wanted. And then they're going to increase wages. It's going to make everything more expensive. And you know what? So be it. And people are going to go to the grocery store and they're going to say strawberries are 10 bucks right now.

Yep. Now, to be fair, prices actually might come down because of these things. It's a complicated process. But of course, they I think prices coming down would not necessarily play out. But the idea is more people will have jobs. More Americans will have jobs. Everybody will be living slightly better.

Quality and production will improve, and then over time, you will get not necessarily—the real problem, of course, is the Federal Reserve inflationary monetary system, where the U.S. government prints money to deficit to extract the buying power of the American people to fund their enterprise, whatever you want to call it. But theoretically, prices should always be coming down as population expands and technology improves.

If Americans take these jobs, yeah, I think prices would go up. I think profits would go down first. And I think we'd see the wealth disparity between the ultra wealthy and the working class would be going down. Profits would be going down and we'd be pretty happy about it. At least the left would be. I would. I think wealth disparity is a bad thing. But the evidence is right here. Now, here's the best part. It's my favorite part. How do you think the liberals over on Reddit react to this? Here's the exact article.

How a city in Nebraska is recovering after the state's largest worksite immigration raid. Yeah. How are they reacting? At least 63 were taken to a detention center. Okay. They don't seem to care about the first paragraph saying Americans were taking these jobs. The process of rehiring new workers, Armistead, feels like asking someone to replace a family member. You cannot in my mind. You cannot in my mind. They were part of our family and they were taken away. More if those hardened criminals Trumpico keeps telling us about. So what? Hire new people.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the arrests were part of an enforcement operation to execute a federal search warrant in connection to large-scale employment of aliens without legal work. If ICE was searching as part of an investigation into employing undocumented immigrants, why didn't they arrest the executives running the company and employing people? Agreed! We agree. Arrest all those people too. The company should be fined heavily and anyone who knew they were actively hiring illegal immigrants should go to prison. Nobody disagrees. Because they are white. But we're in agreement, dude.

We are in complete agreement. So here's the point. Trump's going to ramp up enforcement and we're already seeing a positive effect. I'm down for it. Cry more. The liberals are like, but my prices are going up. Listen, Republicans said the same thing to Trump. And there's a lot of kooky Republicans who are like, Trump is right. We shouldn't deport farm workers if they're illegals. Not me. I ain't playing those games. And then they say, look what MAGA is saying. Don't care about MAGA. Like, I don't care about the MAGA cult or whatever it is you think. I care about what actually makes America great again.

And so to the left, everyone on the right is part of the same group. They can't seem to differentiate. We do. Whatever. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. What's that? Your brother-in-law came back in town and was visiting. Did you tell him about the great show that is Timcast News and Timcast IRL? Do it. Again, I was out and someone was like, yeah, my sister-in-law shared the show with me. I really like it. And I'm like, aha, it works.

Thanks for hanging out, everybody. We'll see you all in the next segment. Follow me on Instagram and Instagram at Tim Kasten. We'll see you then.

You may have heard the news. It's been a bit of a hectic weekend, what with Israel and the Iranian war. The U.S. is rushing warships to the Middle East. There was an assassin who killed two Democrats and a controversy over his manifesto. And then, of course, at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest, a man with a rifle was spotted, allegedly,

was running through a crowd when peacekeepers associated with the 50-50-1 movement, I'm saying that on purpose because it's 50501, shot at this man several times, killing an innocent bystander. Now the question is, who is this guy? Who's being charged? And this whole story makes no sense. It's very strange. Now many people have drawn a contrast to this and say Kyle Rittenhouse.

That is, Kyle Rittenhouse was threatened with death, then chased down the street. Someone fired in the air, to which he turned around and opened fire on his assailant, who had actually touched his weapon, reached for his gun, and was about to grab it. That's when Rittenhouse fired. He then tried rendering aid, then tried going to the police, was chased, attacked, nearly shot and killed, and fired only in self-defense. How did the media report that? Largely neutral.

Two dead, one injured in protest. Some of them said white vigilantes and vigilante man arrested. And then as the months went on, it began to get a bit more political, calling him a young white supremacist, police supporter, et cetera, et cetera. In this story,

Peacekeepers, meaning armed vigilantes working with the liberal organization, with a liberal organization, 50501, opened fire on a guy for simply having a weapon. He didn't shoot at anybody. They grazed him and killed another guy. Now it is being reported that the man who was shot at has been charged with murder.

because they said he was in the act of committing a felony when someone else died. The peacekeepers claim this man raised his rifle, and when he did, they opened fire on him, to which he fled. Now, why aren't these peacekeepers being named? Why aren't they being charged? It could be there's a difference between Wisconsin and Utah, perhaps. But I think, once again, it's largely political. Let's take a look at the news. We have this from NBC.

Innocent bystanders shot dead by peacekeepers during No King's Protest in Salt Lake City. Detectives believe the victim was at the demonstration as a bystander and was not the intended target of gunfire. They say Arthur Falasa Alu, 39, of Utah, died in a hospital. Detectives believe Alu was at the demonstration as a bystander and was not the intended target of gunfire. Police have arrested Arturo Gimboa, 24,

He was booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail on a murder charge. It was not immediately clear whether Gamboa was still in jail Sunday and whether he has an attorney. Now, once again, most people are going to read this and think Gamboa was the guy who opened fire. My understanding and based on reporting from Andy Ngo is not. No, he was the guy armed with a rifle, a far left extremist who was reportedly accused. He was accused of raising his rifle. They aimed at him and he ran into a crowd. As far as I can tell,

We don't know that he did anything. They say also detained Saturday were two men who were part of the event peacekeeping team. One of the peacekeepers fired the shot that fatally injured Alou. It was not immediately clear whether those two men will face charges. The men told police.

They saw Gamboa move away from the crowd and begin manipulating an AR-15 style rifle, prompting them to draw their guns and order him to drop the weapon. Instead, Gamboa ran into the crowd, holding his gun in a firing position. Police said in response, one of the peacekeepers fired three shots, one of which struck Gamboa and another which hit Alou, according to police. Now, again, I don't know exactly what happened, but I can say this.

And I got no reason to defend an anti-fuck extremist, this guy Gamboa. However, if we're talking about gun rights, firing position, I doubt this guy was training his weapon on people running into the crowd. What it sounds to me is this guy walked out of the crowd and maybe was cycling around or something or all around checking the weapon and looking at it. You know, maybe had a jam. I don't know. I don't know.

I'm saying that he had been doing a bunch of things that were not related to aiming a gun at people ready to kill them. These peacekeepers, being overzealous and panicked, saw a guy fiddling with his rifle. So they aimed their guns at him and told him to drop it. This guy sees random people pointing weapons at him, so he runs. They then claim he was in a firing position. Why? Because maybe he had his weapon at low ready?

This is what happens, man. I've talked about stories like this for a while. I don't know exactly the full details. We'll see what happens. There's footage of people fleeing the scene, but I don't know if we have any direct footage of the actual shooting. But I've told this story several times, and I'm pro-gun. I'm probably one of the most pro-gun, pro-2A people you'll ever hear from. I think people should be able to have cannons and nuclear weapons, according to the Second Amendment.

Now, that being said, I don't want people to have nuclear weapons. I'm saying Second Amendment provides that protection. There was a story that I talked about quite a bit. It's a great example, and I actually heard it years ago. Two guys are driving. I think it was Texas. One guy rear-ends the other guy. The guy who got rear-ended is extremely angry. He just got rear-ended. So he gets out of his car. He's strapped. He's got his holster. It's plainly visible. And he starts screaming and yelling. The guy, what are you behind? You hit me.

The guy sees a dude get out of his car screaming and yelling, armed. So he gets out of his car and says, bro, stop, stop, and puts his hand on his holster. The guy who was yelling sees the dude reaching for his gun. So he pulls his. The other guy sees him now drawing his weapon. So he draws his to high ready. And then the other guy thinks about to get shot. And then he shoots him. And that's the rapid fire escalation that happens.

It is believed the intention of the man who got re-rendered was not to aggress upon and shoot the guy. He was just angry. He was yelling. But the guy saw him approaching his vehicle armed and was, hey, back off. The other guy sees a hand going to a gun and he's just like, this guy's going to shoot me.

This is what it seems like happened. They see a guy fiddling with his rifle, who knows what he was doing. So they raise their weapons at him. And imagine you're on the street and some random dudes. These aren't law enforcement. These are random guys point rifles at you. Are you going to stand there and just be like, yo, or are you going to be like, holy crap, they're going to shoot, take cover. Depending on the circumstance, especially in this, I think we're dealing with two different extremist leftists paranoid about the far right.

This guy sees two unknowns pointing at him and he's he's probably thinking, oh, no, it's the far right come to get me. They see him and saying, oh, no, the far right's here because they're all crackpots. And now somebody is dead. Somebody's dead. They're going to say police that they're still investigating, specifically looking at actions of the peacekeepers who are not law enforcement. Officials still do not know why Gamboa pulled out the rifle or why he ran for the peacekeepers because they were pointing guns at him. It's that simple, right?

Gamboa did not fire the shot that fatally struck Alou, but he still faces the murder charge because detectives developed probable cause that Gamboa acted under circumstances that showed a depraved indifference to human life, knowingly engaged in conduct that created a grave risk of death and ultimately caused the death of an innocent community member. So possibly they have camera evidence, video evidence that he did raise his weapon. And they said that action, that's going to cause panic. And that's why they're charging him.

A police motor squad detective reported hearing gunshots at 756. Now, I do think we might—there's a statement from—so there's video.

I think there was a statement somewhere from the 5051 group. Is this it right here? Yes, here we go. We have this from Utah News Dispatch. Now, what is 50501? Let me zoom in here. They say, in a Facebook post Sunday morning, Utah 50501, the group that organized the protest, said it's working with police. Quote, our team was directly involved.

We have been in direct contact with law enforcement. Some of you seem to think a keyboard and social media give you a free pass to be nasty and accusatory. Our teams just had to deal with something extremely traumatizing, and when faced with personal risk to their own lives, chose to run towards the danger in order to serve this community. The group said it's working to set up a vigil for the victim. We respectfully ask you to refrain from speculation about the alleged shooter's motives and identity. That information will come out soon enough. I love this.

If it were cops that shot and killed this Antifa guy, what do you think they'd be saying? In a post from Andy No, and we have some more from Tyler Hansen, he says, a Latino radical leftist and Antifa supporter has been charged with murder after a man shot at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest and died from his injuries. Arturo Gimboa, wearing all black, allegedly had a rifle.

A no-kings liberal peacekeeper volunteer with bad aim tried taking out Gamboa, but instead fatally wounded a bystander. Afa Alou, pictured below, died. Suspect Gamboa only suffered a graze wound. The peacekeeper has not been named, and police have not stated if he will face any charges. And then we have this from Tyler Hansen. Taylor Hansen, sorry, wrong Hansen, brother.

Okay.

Perhaps this guy was going to shoot a cop. Maybe that's why he was pulling the rifle out. And these liberal 50501 protesters stopped him. Maybe the reason the police are charging this guy and not those guys is because they know that this guy wanted to shoot a cop. Maybe he saw the cops had the rifle and he was getting it ready and he was going to take that shot. Honestly, don't know. What I can tell you is it just don't add up.

Five zero five zero one. See how they it's the worst. It's the worst branding ever. Fifty fifty dot one. There you go. That's one way to say it, because it sounds like the group's name is five zero five one. Fifty fifty one. Right. Sure. Fifty protests. Fifty states. One movement. They call it. They organized no kings.

They sent out armed vigilantes. What's a vigilante? Let's play that game. You want to play that game? Vigilante. We can play that game. A member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority. How about that? So the No Kings groups, the 50501 groups, send out armed dudes to enforce their law, shooting and killing a random guy. All right. Armed leftist vigilantes murdered a guy.

How about them apples? Here's TMZ. August 26, 2020. Kenosha vigilante shooter arrested and booked for homicide. Vigilante. Here you go. This one's from a day after. Armed white men patrolling Kenosha protests organized on Facebook. Prior to the shooting that left two dead, presence of militia prompted criticism from protesters and some support from police. Heavens me.

That'd be fair. Most of the reporting from Kyle Rittenhouse was relatively neutral. 17-year-old arrested after two killed from AP. 17-year-old charged in Kenosha. Shooting that killed two hurt one, WSVN. Kyle Rittenhouse charged with murder in Kenosha shootings that killed two. Jacob Blake handcuffed to hospital bed, uncle says. So, I don't know, maybe a loaded story. For the most part, the stories that were put out were rather neutral. Now, I will say this. They were rather neutral, but they ain't being neutral now.

innocent bystander killed during no Kings protest in Salt Lake City. Why don't they put left? Like you want to be neutral. You can say innocent bystander shot. And well, actually, you know, I guess it's fair. Peacekeepers TMZ was being biased. Peacekeepers me. I'd say armed liberal group, armed leftists. That's what I think we're looking at. We have another story throughout the weekend.

We had to some excuse me. We had this assassination. We're trying to figure out the motives of the guy. They won't release the manifesto. This man went to the home of two Democrats and shot and killed the Democrats and their spouses. The left is saying he was a right winger, but he had no King's flyers in his car. The speculation from the right is that this man assassinated these Democrats because they had crossed party lines to vote against illegal immigrants getting health care.

That makes more sense. This guy was an appointee of Tim Waltz for one of his programs at state level. He had no Kings flyers, piece of paper with no Kings written on it in his car. Now, the left is saying he was an anti-choice extremist. Maybe he was just crazy. Honestly, I have no idea. But it was a hell of a weekend. I mean, this is crazy. I'm concerned that we see escalation. And I will say this, the final thoughts on this.

You're getting a glimpse that we are staring down the barrel of empire. What I mean by that is who are the fascists, right? Who are the bad guys? Who are the authoritarians, the totalitarians that want to take over? It's not always so simple just to say that one group is the totalitarian extremist because, well, you know, I was talking to, I think it was Rudyard, Rudyard Lynch last week. And I said, you know, what's going to happen is going to be good. It's going to be bad. It's going to be good for us because he said Trump's going to win, but it'll be bad for them.

To the commies, to the far left, Trump is that villain because if he wins, he destroys them. And to us, the communists are bad. But what I will say is this. There is one distinct factor that separates the stupid game of both sides of problems. And that is the media, the police, the system in play arrested the guy who got shot at and not the guys who did the shooting.

Now, you'd think that bare minimum, you'd arrest them all and say, look, you guys shot. We're going to get to the bottom of this. Not just say, see you later, boys. Active organizers of the No Kings protest, peacemakers, out and armed, open fire on a man who did not fire on them. And the guy who got shot at, a far left extremist, was the one arrested. I got questions. Now, by all means, you point out it was left on left violence, whatever. I'm saying that when the media comes out and refers to these guys as peacekeepers, they're

And instead of armed vigilantes, I got questions. When Kyle Rittenhouse, when he shot and they condemned him to death or life in prison, he had been threatened with death, chased down the street and only fired after he was attacked. These guys opened fire on a guy who said it was manipulating a weapon. What does that even mean? They didn't say he was pointing it or brandishing it. They said manipulating.

Could he have been cycling around or could he have been clearing the chamber? Maybe he was like, oh, man, I better I better put it. Who knows? I mean, he was a far left extremist himself. But they are basically writing this up as if the shooters are heroes who stopped a dangerous man. They did it for Kyle Rittenhouse, who was actually innocent. It was attacked. And that's because the left is empire. They are the machine state.

We'll see. There's likely going to be more developments on this, so we'll see how this plays out. But we've got more to talk about with assassination and, of course, the Israel-Iran war. It's a lot going on. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on Axe and Instagram at TimCast. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all in the next segment.

The assassination, an attempted assassination of Minnesota lawmakers. The man behind this, Vance Bolter, has been arrested. And they say that in his vehicle he had a cache of weapons and a hit list, as well as several flyers that just say, no Kings. Now questions are arising. Who is this guy? What does he believe? And why did he do it?

It does seem the story points toward a Christian man who is anti-abortion targeting Democrats. But conservatives aren't buying it. Some are saying it's a false flag. This guy's a plant or he's a leftist. He was appointed to a state position by the governor, a Democrat, Tim Walz.

So this guy, no way is a conservative appointed. Maybe he's like a Christian, but still very much a Democrat. And the argument is the reason these two lawmakers were targeted for assassination is that they crossed the aisle and voted with Republicans to strip health care from illegal immigrants. Don't know for sure.

We've got statements from police about the no Kings flyers, speculation being that maybe he was going to target these events. But the flyers in his car don't actually have dates or anything other than just saying no Kings. The implication, of course, being these weren't flyers for an event. They were signs making a statement implying he was actually of the left. All I can really say is a crazy guy did something crazy and we don't know.

But on the left and the right, everybody is rushing to disown this guy. Nobody wants to be associated with him. And I think that's important. Nobody wants to be responsible for the initiation of violence. But let's read the story and break down currently what we do know. Fox News reports, Minnesota lawmakers shooting suspect had cache of weapons hit list in vehicle court documents show.

They say Boulder 57 allegedly posed an officer, drove a Ford SUV registered in his name, equipped with police lights to carry the shootings of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis. After allegedly shooting state Senator John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife Yvette in the nearby Champlin home in a related attack.

Butler left the fake police vehicle at the crime scene in Brooklyn Park after exchanging gunfire with police and escaping. A criminal complaint issued by the Hennepin County District Court said inside the vehicle, police recovered a disturbing cache of weapons, including at least three AK-47 assault rifles. Fox, what do you what is that?

I'm going to tell you, we don't know, thanks to Democrat and liberal ideology, whether or not he actually had selective fire assault assault rifles. The assumption being it's Fox News. They must have really been assault rifles. Now, I bet these were just AK-47 semi-automatic. Anyway, I digress. He had a nine millimeter handgun, along with a manifesto that listed the names and addresses of other public officials of which they're not releasing, saying we don't know enough.

The argument from the right is if that in any way implicated conservatives, they would drop it in two seconds. They publish it and say, look, that proves it like they've done with many other racially motivated manifestos. But when it came to the shooter, the trans shooter targeted the school and children, they withheld all of that. And then later, when the manifesto got released through journalism.

We ended up realizing this person was a far left psycho targeting Christians with hate. That's right. What I mean by hate is that this person wanted to kill Christians for being Christian. That's the leftist definition, right? They covered that up. They say about 70 names were found in the manifesto, according to local two law enforcement officials who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Officials said the list also included the names of abortion rights advocates and information about health care facilities.

Former Congressman Dean Phillips claimed in a post on X that his name was on the list found. As someone whose name was on the list, I extend heartfelt gratitude to Minnesota's law enforcement professionals. Now we must take steps to prevent political violence before it's too late. Bolter was captured Sunday night following a two-day manhunt that officials called the largest in the state's history. The Hennepin County District Court issued a criminal complaint charging Bolter with four felony counts of second-degree murder with intent not premeditated.

How do you have a hit list? That means you literally premeditated the murder and they're not charging you with that. They say all charges are felonies and each carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison with a mandatory minimum of three years due to the use of a firearm. Now we have this video, I'll play for you guys now, about the No Kings Flyers. Let's try and turn the volume up on that one. ...targeted by the person in the manifesto.

We don't have any direct links. However, there were some flyers that said no Kings within the suspect vehicle. Now I'm going to pause here. For those that are not looking, just listening, there are a bunch of white sheets of paper. I don't know that all of them say no Kings. It looks like some might say something else or maybe that says no. I don't know. But you can see here, no Kings appears to be handwritten with black marker on paper.

That's not a flyer for an event. That's a protest sign. That's a sign of ideology. Maybe this man stole them. I doubt it. But.

I make the argument, if you have a white piece of paper that says no Kings, you're intending just to express that message, meaning you likely support that message. And as we know, the planned events throughout the state of Minnesota today is a no Kings event. And so the reference materials that were inside of the vehicle that we saw, we have no evidence

understanding that any of the No Kings events would be targeted, but we also find it of interest to the public that these would be in there. We want to alert everybody. But not the manifesto, not a potential reason. I mean, I think the manifesto would be important to release because you want to know who he's targeting and why. If he is a leftist, maybe even a Christian Democrat who thinks Trump is nuts because they exist.

Then if you're on the right or you oppose illegal immigration, you're going to be concerned about him and his ideology. Now, granted, they've arrested him, so fine. But if he is a conservative Christian targeting Democrats, I think it's important they release that information so people know what to look out for. It's very strange they're not releasing it, in my opinion. Until we do that. Because this is such an active investigation with information not knowing right now, we feel it's an obligation to all of you and the public across the state of Minnesota to alert you of it. And that's why the colonel made the notation of recommending people

So again, this was because they had not yet caught him. So we don't know for sure. At the time, he was still on the run when they were doing these No Kings events. Andy No tweets, Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Bolter has been arrested in Sylvie County, Minnesota. The former pastor is accused of killing state rep Melissa Hortman, her husband, and injuring Senator John Hoffman and his wife.

Bolter's former roommate and friend told media he was a conservative and was against abortion. However, in one response, big dog SRQ, no idea who this person is, but they did respond saying, B.S., conservatives don't get hired by Democrats and they sure as hell don't work as interns for them. And we can see this document that's been going around. Tim Walz, governor, notice of appointment, Vance Bolter, because of the special trust and confidence I have in your integrity, judgment, and ability, I've appointed and commissioned you to have and to hold the office of business member.

Governor's Workforce Development Board from December 14th, 2019 to January 2nd, 2023. Then we have here this document saying that he was a former, what is this? Most Jennifer Bolter, this is presumably his wife or daughter. I don't know what this is. It worked for Tim Walz. So I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that

These documents they're putting around allegedly that he worked for for Tim Walz. I don't see him as being a MAGA conservative. He may be a Democrat. There are and there are some Democrats that are anti-abortion. Who knows? Either way, at this point, we don't know for sure. We have this post.

The suspect who poses law enforcement and assassinated Rep. Melissa Hortman today has been identified as 57-year-old Vance Bolter. They're going to mention that Democrats are insisting he lived in a small house with a Papa John's delivery guy who swears he's a Trump supporter. The reality is he's married with a family and owns a sprawling property and very large home.

Interesting. And I don't know, maybe the case may not be. We have this video that everyone has been sharing. Let's let's play it. I know that people will be hurt by that vote. And I'm we worked very hard to try to get a budget deal that wouldn't include that provision. DFL Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman emotional following the House's adjournment from a special session Monday. Hortman was the lone DFL lawmaker to cast a vote to cut Minnesota care access for undocumented immigrants.

So this woman had just cut health care for illegal immigrants and was targeted. NPR says a suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers has been captured and charged, as of course, as of this morning. So again, I suppose we're going to have to wait and see. Data Republicans saying...

You weren't going to like this post, but it needs to be said about Vance Bolter. Basically saying this guy built a fake resume. He was a grifter and he was a 7-Eleven manager, constantly promote himself as a doctor. He would go to African churches and he would preach vague, positive platitudes to foreign audiences. He wanted to be somebody.

There's a good reason to believe that James Hartline is right. He was remodeling that building below into a church, not to serve Jesus, but as a stage for an audience that would never come. I think he's a man addicted to attention and status who tried to get it through a lot of means. And when that attention dried up, he snapped. I believe Vance Bolter committed violence as a last desperate attempt to be glorified under the delusion that killing abortion rights activists would make him a martyr or hero. No idea. No idea. And I don't think there's, I don't know.

So it's going to be real easy for a lot of people that are diehard MAGA just to say, you know, and look, I'll tell you this. You want to get the views, you reaffirm what people want to believe, right? You want to target the left, you say this guy's a Trump supporter. He's a far right guy. He's targeting Democrats. Trump's people are evil. You want to be, you want to get the views in the MAGA circles, you say this guy's clearly a leftist. The media is lying. It's a conspiracy. I'll tell you, I don't know. Could swing either way. The one thing I'll tell the right to be worried about, they withhold the manifesto.

People come out and say false flag is actually a leftist. Then once everybody's invested in this, they drop the manifesto showing he's actually a conservative who likes Trump and hates Democrats. Who knows? The one thing I can say is people are increasingly, for a variety of reasons, choosing violence. We just had some random guy shot and killed at a No Kings protest because I kid you not, as the story goes, it's being reported.

Far left extremists panicked after seeing another far left extremist with a rifle. They started shooting at him, but shot a random guy instead. So the police arrested the guy who got shot at. And the other. There you go. I don't know. There's a question about civil war. The media has been warning about it because the escalation of these riots and these protests have gotten pretty bad over the weekend. The No Kings protests, many of them did turn into riots. And there were Marines on the ground. The left is claiming we did nothing wrong.

And the videos clearly show they're throwing bricks at cops. But here's the challenge. None of it matters. All that matters is who wins in the end. Now, I can tell you the objective reality here. People show up to protest. The beginning of these protests, which became riots, was that Trump's legally authorized enforcement through ICE was obstructed.

ICE agents went out to make arrests. The left said, no, we disagree with the law and began to obstruct and fight with cops. Videos show them outside of an ICE facility throwing rocks at it. They're posting on X glad that federal agents can't leave the building. This resulted in police action.

The police were attacked. Vehicles were smashed. Trump calls in the National Guard. They smashed Waymo, set him on fire. Resulting in large-scale protests. Now, two things can be true at the same time. It just depends on what you're looking at. The left is saying the police attacked for no reason because you've got videos of people standing around holding up signs when the cops begin to move them out. What they don't show you is that elsewhere, someone started fighting with cops. As soon as the fighting happens, the police say, clear the square out.

That means because of the actions of two or three people, a protest of 1,000 is going to get cleared out by hundreds of cops. The people who don't know that leftists are throwing bricks, they say the cops started it. Now, I've been on the ground at riots and protests, and I've seen the cops start it, hands down. To be fair, to be fair, in Ferguson during the riots, people were standing around doing nothing in the street. A cop,

Pulled a flashbang and chucked it into the crowd, seemingly for no reason. One could argue it's because people were refusing to clear the streets. There was no riot, people just standing around. Music was playing and people were dancing. But the street was occupied. Cop chucks a flashbang, boom, it goes off. People are running screaming. The moment people are running screaming, looters come in and start smashing up windows. Then the police move in. Chaos is what you get. All that's going to matter in the end is whoever...

can muster up the confidence of their use of force. Meaning if you can justify your use of force to a large enough group of people or make them believe they will be safe if they back you, you win. The left can't do that. And that's why typically the right law enforcement and military wins because people say the organized system is safe.

We'll see, man. I'm going to leave it there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. I met someone the other day who said that her sister-in-law shared the show with her. She was like, yeah, she just shared it with me. And I was like, really? Perhaps me saying these kooky jokes about you calling your grandma really are working. Do it. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all in the next segment.

Things have been heating up in the Middle East, particularly over Israel and Iran, with both countries striking at each other. Deaths in the dozen. Iran's taken way more casualties than more than Israel, though Israel, I believe the death toll may be around 24 and growing. It may be higher at this point. But Israel is now claiming complete air superiority over Iran as tensions escalate. But the news for the Americans.

is that the U.S. is deploying the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, as well as it appears 30 air refueling tankers. People begin to speculate when they start tracking the flight paths of 30 refueling tankers, big aircraft used for refueling, I believe F-16s, U.S. and Western shorter range fighter jets.

It appears these are not needed and not headed to a multinational training exercise. And the speculation across the board is that this is a deployment to the Middle East for the purpose of refueling U.S. aircraft as they begin airstrikes on Iran. With speculation, of course, being Israel paved the way with strikes, taking out the air defense systems in Iran, which have always been a major problem.

A block, a blockage, we'll put it that way for U.S. military strikes. The U.S. operates on air superiority principally, and Iran has great military defense against airstrikes. Now that Israel's claimed superiority, the speculation is the U.S. will begin strikes of its own. And these refueling tankers will provide the fuel necessary for the return trip of these jets. We don't know exactly what's going to happen, but of course, the U.S. is already involved in the war, just not directly against Iran.

The U.S. has deployed several defensive measures for Israel to shoot down the rockets that are striking Israel or attempting to from Iran. So the United States is very much involved in this war. But the argument we often get from those that want us to be involved is that, no, no, no, guys, listen, this is not boots on the ground. This is military assets in the region. I don't play these games, my friends. The U.S. is involved or it isn't.

Doesn't have to be our guys standing there with the weapon when it's our battleship firing missiles. When it's our weapons handed off to Israel, we are involved and our adversaries will see it that way. That being said, I think Iran's screwed. I don't see a scenario where Iran's allies rush to its defense over these strikes. However, Pakistan is threatening to nuclear strike Israel if they use a nuclear weapon themselves.

So it may be not that any large adversarial nation such as Russia or China gets involved, but it may be that smaller nations do escalate conflict. And then we don't have World War Three. We have a world at war, which is arguably the same thing. But the reason I draw the distinction is the world wars were large allied nations fighting over principally the same issue. World War Two, Japan was doing its thing, but did have an alliance with with Germany and.

I believe we'll end up seeing possibly pocket conflicts all over the world that escalate to the point of war and are very serious, but not necessarily a unification of the enemy powers, the adversarial nations, I should put it. However, a world at war, for obvious reasons, may very well turn into World War III. That is, if Iran is being battered by Israel and the U.S., and then Pakistan and other nations join the fray with Iran,

With Russia and Ukraine and NATO and Ukraine, Venezuela in South America, you may actually see nations like China say, we're supplying weapons to Iran, to these countries. Eventually, the U.S. draws a line. China draws a line. There's a strike in the Pacific. And then Iran says, you need to work with me because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And that's how things dramatically escalate. But let's take a look at the current news and these deployments. Now, what's interesting with the USS Nimitz is

This is the Nimitz's final deployment. It was headed to the Indo-Pacific already. It's being deployed early because of the conflict. And the conspiracy theorists are out. They're saying, wait, wait, wait, wait. They're deploying an aircraft carrier set to be decommissioned to this conflict. Of course, speculation is that this soon-to-be decommissioned aircraft carrier will be damaged, attacked, or sunk. And now we are seeing U.S. lawmakers say, in the event that

that U.S. forces or our interests are attacked by Iran, we must enter that war. And that's how you get Donald Trump to sign off on it. Now, he said it's not going to happen. But I'll tell you this, my friends, there is a strong probability that there will be an attack on U.S. forces. Trump will say, I told him not to do it. We have no choice. And that's what pulls the U.S. into the fray, as it is always the

U.S. deploys aircraft carrier USS Nimitz over Iran-Israel conflict. Now, in fact, we actually have a report from Fox News that breaks this down, which I find to be particularly interesting. Let's play this clip and let's play the audio as well. Strikes launched by Iran. The two sides trading more attacks overnight as that conflict continues to escalate. Jennifer Griffin live from the Pentagon brings us up to speed from her post now. And Jennifer, hello.

Hi, Bill. The Israelis using American-made F-35 stealth fighter jets did in less than four days something that the Russian Air Force has been incapable of doing in Ukraine for three and a half years. It established air superiority. That means Israeli non-stealth F-15 and F-16 fighter jets

can now carry out airstrikes and hunt down the mobile ballistic missile launchers that are terrorizing Israeli cities. Two U.S. Navy guided missile destroyers, the USS Sullivans and USS Arleigh Burke in the eastern Mediterranean, have been shooting down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel. The Navy has ordered the USS Thomas Hudner for backup, along with a fourth Navy destroyer.

And we have now learned the aircraft carrier strike group, the USS Nimitz, on its final sea voyage will deploy from the Pacific, deeply symbolic since it was the Nimitz deployed in 1980 and its helicopters that were part of the failed U.S. effort to rescue the American hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The U.S. has been in a shadow war against Iran ever since.

Israel may not be able to reach the parts of Iran's nuclear program that are buried inside mountains and underground without U.S. help. U.S. B-2 bombers are the only air asset that can drop the 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs known as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

Only the U.S. has them. When pressed on whether Trump had denied any military requests like the 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs delivered by those B-2 bombers needed to hit Iran's deeply buried nuclear sites, Netanyahu deflected, saying it was President Trump's decision. Quote, I trust his judgment completely. That from Brett Baier's exclusive interview with the Israeli prime minister yesterday. Bill? Now, what's interesting, I think I might have this...

Article here from the Navy Times. USS Nimitz waves goodbye to San Diego for likely final deployment. This from March 28th, 2025. It is set to be decommissioned in 2026 after its 50 year. It's supposed to be commissioned for only 50 years. Now, the speculation, of course, I'm going to say it and they're going to call me a conspiracy. They come to whatever they want. But I think saying something like this is important because if it's on the people, look, whatever.

This is the perfect scenario for a PR move to get the U.S. involved in the war. The USS Nimitz strike group, symbolic as it attempted to rescue hostages in 1980, final deployment set to be decommissioned, goes to the region and then, oh no, heavens me, it's sunk and destroyed by the Iranians. We have no choice but to enter the war on the ground with our existing Middle Eastern forces being sent to the front line to engage in combat with Iran.

Now, maybe you tell me that's crazy. It's not going to happen. I'd say, OK, yeah, maybe. I don't know. I'm just telling you right now as the fact that we know and we see this maybe makes it unlikely. Fine. But when you look at the history of war and conflict, notably the Gulf of Tonkin incident, a U.S. vessel being attacked has been used as a precursor before. And of course, as people are already saying, if we are attacked by Iran, we got the story here, in fact.

Lawmakers urge defense if Iran attacks U.S. targets. The U.S. wants to be involved. Maybe not Donald Trump. Maybe Donald Trump. I don't know. Trump says it's impossible. We won't. We won't get involved. But I tell you this, if the Nimitz is attacked, Trump's going to change his tune in two seconds. And he's going to say, you know, there are people saying don't go to war. But you know what? They attacked our men and women just after his parade and all that stuff. Trump's not going to stand for that.

Now, look, there's a reality where Iran just attacks us. And it's not so much that it was planned or a false flag. But understand, the U.S. enters these waters knowing there's a real possibility it may happen. And I guarantee you, there are national security interests in the United States are crossing their fingers, hoping Iran attacks a U.S. target to give us the casus belli for a full ground invasion.

We should not be involved in this war. We have been involved in a shadow war. The U.S.'s business should remain in the United States. But this is the product of the liberal world order and the world police who are upset that Iran has fallen out of line with demands of our liberal world order. Look it up. Council on Foreign Relations. And so they've long wanted to remove the Iranian power structure. Me, I'm more of a America should do America stuff.

But of course, there are many liberals that want and call for this liberal economic order to be maintained. Notably, the Democrats, Joe Biden, Obama, Clinton, they were all about it. Donald Trump, not so much. And that's why they didn't like him. He wanted to withdraw our troops from these regions. No new wars. Yet they would do whatever they could to stop him to maintain the concept of the international liberal economic order. And now we have this for the Times of Israel.

U.S. appears to be deploying large number of aerial refueling tankers across the Atlantic.

The U.S. Air Force appears to be in the midst of an unprecedented mass deployment of aerial refueling tankers. The number of KC-135 and KC-46 tankers continues to rise, with at least 30 moved east in the late hours of Sunday, according to flight tracking data. Such tankers are required to refuel aircraft participating in strikes far away from their home country, such as the Israeli jets hitting Iran. Take a look at these images. Evergreen Intel saying...

Twenty six tankers. It's now up to 30. And we've got this image. We'll pull this image up showing this deployment of all of these refueling tankers. Now, the argument is based on the trajectory, they are not heading to Finland where there's a multinational exercise underway. Yahoo News says Armada of USAF tankers just deployed east over Atlantic, spurring speculation.

Over two dozen U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers from across the U.S. appeared in flight tracking software yesterday evening, taking off from their bases and heading east over the Atlantic. It isn't clear if they were dragging any combat aircraft with them, but there wasn't any obvious signs of that.

While tanker movements in this direction are far from abnormal, such a large, near simultaneous migration of jets was very peculiar, especially at a time of crisis in the Middle East. The exact reason for the mass deployment is unclear, although many of the potential answers would indicate a change or preparations for a potential change in the current conflict between Israel and Iran.

Open source enthusiasts took to social media after all the tankers began popping up on flight tracking software. At its peak, it appeared that at least 28 tankers were all heading east. While there is a multinational exercise in Norway that is about to kick off that wouldn't require anything like this level of relocation of refueling assets, there is no other apparent exercise or commitment that would necessitate such an operation.

On the other hand, these are precisely the assets that would be needed if the U.S. were going to change its support of Israel's Operation Rising Lion, or if there were urgent concerns that the conflict is about to widen significantly. Outside of some sort of unlikely signaling move, an undisclosed massive exercise or some other yet-to-be-known long-established commitment, there are four possible explanations for the movements. One,

The U.S. has decided or is preparing for the possibility that will provide Israel with aerial refueling support to dramatically accelerate its offensive air operations with Iran. That being the case, the U.S. will enter directly into the fray of this war with Iran. You're not going to make any stupid argument. We're like, we're not dropping bombs. We're only refueling the ones that are. No, we're involved. Number two, joining the kinetic fight.

This would mean the U.S. would enter the air war directly or is preparing to be more capable of executing that option. These tankers would be needed for such operations as well as refueling Israeli aircraft. This, of course, would be a massive shift in U.S. policy and it could have cascading effects throughout the region, especially in terms of the likelihood that Iran would start targeting American installations. Three, it's prepping to deal with Iran attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz. If this were to occur...

U.S. and likely Arab Gulf state military aircraft would leap into action in an attempt to curtail the operation. This would mean the war would instantly widen. And this cannot be done just by going out and sinking small boats. It would require a massive operation that includes SEAD, DEAD, and persistent surveillance aircraft sorties. It also means having to hunt for highly mobile shore-based anti-ship missile launchers on a grand scale. An incredibly challenging task. Once again,

This would demand large amounts of continuous tanker support. You can read our complete report they're going to say here. And finally, providing a robust air bridge from the U.S. to the Middle East. This may be the most likely option as it would be needed if major assets are going to start flowing into the region, or at least the option to support such actions is being put into place now. But that being said, if the U.S. is shuttling these refueling tankers for the purpose of shuttling more planes and more jets...

stands to reason the first three arguments they've made. The fourth is just basically saying to facilitate the first three. It's looking highly likely we will be deploying more assets into the region. And I believe the U.S. will get involved in this conflict. First of all, we already are, but I mean directly. I don't know if boots on the ground would actually happen, but I kind of think so.

When they put boots on the ground in Syria, they told it would never happen. And they just went and did it. Now, with these U.S. lawmakers saying we need to get involved, it could be out of Trump's hands. The perfect play. The U.S. is attacked. Trump says we will not. We will not risk the brave men and women of the United States over a regional conflict in the Middle East. But after an attack on U.S. assets, Congress declares war. And Trump says, OK, I doubt it.

Doesn't seem to be the way that Congress or the presidency has operated. And based on the things Trump has said, I think what's likely is we will be attacked. We're sending all these ads in the region. And then they're going to say whether whether they did or didn't, it's going to be Iran. And this will be the start of a war, the response of which in the public will be we didn't start the war. They attacked us.

Now, of course, Israel started this. Now, I know there's going to be a lot of people that say war isn't started instantly overnight. This is something that's been building up for a long time. Israel and Iran have already traded barbs. We get it. But I'm saying in the past week, Israel decided to launch strikes on Iran, initiating the current conflict. Now, there is it's tough argument. You guys tell me what you think on this one. The argument is Iran is attempting to build a nuclear weapon. They've been attempting to build a nuclear weapon for a long time. At least that's the claim.

Iran wants to wipe out Israel. Hands down. They've been supplying Hamas with weapons. They've been funneling weapons in the region. The conflict is only getting worse. The argument is that Israel said they are very close to a nuke and we're not going to wait around. This is self-defense. What do you think? Attacking someone first because they might get a weapon is self-defense? I don't think so. That's just me. I certainly understand why if we were the United States and the cartels were building a nuke, we would flatten them in two seconds.

Let's put it again. If the United States, we got word and there was evidence real and you knew for a fact the cartels were loading up short range, low yield nuclear weapons to fire at the U.S. border, we would strike them in two seconds and just flatten them before anything like that could happen. The problem is Israel's doing all this on our dime and our time, our weapons, and it's going to drag us into the fray.

Already we have U.S. destroyers in the Mediterranean defending Israel. U.S. fighter jets already intercepting strikes targeting Israel. Iran's just going to say the U.S. is acting as a shield and Israel is acting as the sword. The question is, will anyone come to Iran's defense over this? I say no. If the U.S. gets involved, then I think it's much more likely. The U.S. gets involved and then like actually striking Iran.

Iran's going to say to all these other countries, now's your chance. They're split. China makes a move on Taiwan. Who knows what? World War III. This is from three days ago. U.S. forces enter Iran-Israel feud. You don't want to say war? Despite Trump vowed to end all wars. Trump said it wouldn't happen. Now he's saying this. Trump says it's possible U.S. will get involved in Iran-Israel conflict while urging deal. I hope you all are ready. According to ABC News, the Republican president said,

Also said talks over Iran's nuclear program were continuing and that Tehran would be more inclined to make a deal now that the Islamic Republic was training massive strikes with Israel. There has been no public indication of negotiations continuing since Israel launched its offensive in Iran early Friday and Tehran canceled Sunday's planned sixth round of talks. It's possible we could get involved, Trump said in his off-camera interview with ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott. He stressed the U.S. was not at this moment involved in military action.

Now, we do have this from Axios. Israel urges U.S. to join the war with Iran to eliminate nuclear program. And then I'm not sure what we have. We have this from Axios. Lawmakers urge defense if Iran attacks U.S. targets. Now, we do have a video.

This is nothing graphic. You know, we don't show the graphic stuff. This is just a video of a building that was struck in Iran that housed a television studio. Check this out. This is a video of a building that was struck in Iran that housed a television studio. Check this out.

It's the reality of war, my friends. And I think it's a very strong possibility the U.S. does get involved. Lawmakers are urging defense if Iran attacks. And Donald Trump said, maybe. The Daily Mail says blitz on Iran. Israel has full aerial superiority over Tehran and has destroyed a third of its missile force as U.S. aircraft carrier steams toward the Middle East. Israel comes in.

flattens their air defense, and now it's cleared for the U.S. to come in and launch a ground invasion. I don't know that it's the case. Iran is not Afghanistan. Iran is not Iraq. That's an important lesson. People seem to think you hear Iran, you hear Iraq, you think, oh, they must be the same thing. No way. Iran is a massive mountainous nation, massive, very hard to navigate, very hard to get past air defenses.

And it is developed. It is not like Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, Iraq and Afghanistan surround Iran in the east and west. And we have military bases and assets prepared for this. And they've been preparing for this for a long time. From the Daily Mail. Pakistan tells Iran they will nuke Israel if Netanyahu uses nuclear weapons against Tehran. Regime officer claims in huge World War III apocalypse threat. That's why I say we shouldn't be involved in this stuff.

There are challenges and there are questions. We don't want to be involved in World War III. We don't want to start World War III. It's all heading in that direction. We don't want China to gain unipolar global dominance. So what do we do? For a lot of reasons, there's a lot of arguments. We don't know for sure. One of the arguments we hear is that Europe is being strangled out by Russia's control over natural gas into the region. Europe needs cheaper energy to grow its economy and compete economically.

with the Chinese growing economic bloc. But so long as Russia is strangling out energy and the U.S. can't control the flow of energy, it's going to weaken one of our principal allies and strengthen the East. This is why you get the Ukraine war, the principal reason. If that were the case, I don't think we'd see so much deference to China from the United States, however. That being said, China is growing and is expected to overtake the U.S. as the global economic power in only a few years unless something happens. Thucydides' trap

predicts that there's a tendency towards war, full-scale war between these empires if that does happen. I don't think we need or want any of that, but I can't say I know for sure exactly what happens if we do nothing, exactly what happens if we get involved, and it's easy to be a guy complaining on the internet telling y'all.

It's easy to be an armchair activist saying here's what we should do when we don't know the realities of what's really going on in the world and what's happening on the ground. And we just have to trust what the media tells us. But they lie every day. So my friends, we are knocking on the door of Armageddon. The weapons that we have now, you ain't seen nothing. Nukes, that's nearly a hundred year old technology at this point. The weapons they've developed will probably terrify them.

So all I can say for now is we'll see how this escalation goes. For the interview today, we'll be joined by Andy Ngo to talk about the escalation of violence on the far left and the riots over the weekend. The Marines clashing for the first time with protesters in generations.

Far leftists shooting and killing an innocent bystander. There's a lot to break down in this, plus the assassination in Minnesota.
