U.S. WARNS Of Iranian RETALIATION, Iran Vows To KILL 50,000 Troops, Russia Says It & Others May Join
01:11:41 Share

Over the weekend, the United States bombed Iranian nuclear targets using bunker busters, B-2 stealth bombers on a massive 37-hour mission. Iran is now vowing retaliation with their state media saying they will send 50,000 U.S. soldiers home in body bags. Israel has continued striking the country.

And Iran is now threatening to shut the Strait of Hormuz, where around one fifth of the global oil supply moves on any given day. Russia is warning foreign countries are now stepping up to provide Iran with nuclear weapons. I don't know that this ends here. I'm not sure.

If it's fair to say this will be World War Three, this could be more like Soleimani. Now, the issue with Soleimani is it was one guy and it was a big move by the United States and it was dangerous. And there were fears the killing of Qassam Soleimani, an Iranian general, could escalate us to a greater war, potentially World War Three. Now, more than ever.

That seems to be the real possibility as Russia and China have already signaled offers to help Iran. China already flying in several cargo planes. But I do want to say this before we start reading into the all the there's a lot going on. I'm not entirely convinced this does escalate. While I'm not a fan of the U.S. engagement in Iran, I don't know that anyone.

And I mean, any any national actor wants to risk their wealth and access over this strike in Iran. Don't get me wrong. Israel is not stopping and Iran is still firing on Israel. Israel has signaled they may stop firing on Iran. They may end their war in a matter of days. Right now, I think the smart play.

For Israel is probably to stop because Iran's not going to not in the immediate. If Israel backs off, the firing is stopped on the western side. Iran won't really have the ability to call for aid from these other countries. But so long as Israel continues to launch its strikes against Iran, it will give them cause to seek aid. It'll give them cause to return fire and deterrence.

It'll give them a justification for why they need the aid in the first place. Now, we have this story from the Daily Mail. Iran vows to kill 50,000 U.S. soldiers in revenge as massive Israeli airstrike on Republican Guard HQ wipes out hundreds of elite troops and spies. This is not...

a strike on a nuclear target. That's what the U.S. did. No, Israel is at war with the country of Iran. And so were we. And if Trump wants to play it out like an administration and his supporters want to largely say it's not war, it's a surgical strike, the bad news for you, we entered Israel's war and Israel is bombing everything.

Literally not everything I'm saying. They're targeting their military, their ability to wage war. This is full-scale warfare. Now, no invasions yet. The Trump admin says they don't want boots on the ground. But the U.S. is warning American citizens to prepare for a cyber attack retaliation. And Israel, of course, is already facing rocket fire from Iran.

The Daily Mail reports an Iranian television mouthpiece has warned 50,000 American soldiers will be returned to Washington in coffins after Trump raised the possibility of regime change in Iran. State TV anchor Mehdi Khanalizadeh accused Trump of choosing to spill the blood of your soldiers before adding, the U.S. president in the Oval Office chose to take delivery of the coffins of up to 50,000 U.S. soldiers in Washington.

It comes as Iran warns the U.S. should expect heavy consequences for striking its nuclear sites, issuing a threat that its entry into the conflict with Israel will expand the scope of legitimate targets. Trump declared last night that monumental damage has been done to all nuclear sites in Iran as he called for a regime change in the Islamic Republic.

The U.S. president wrote on his Truth Social page that satellite images he obtained showed the Iranian nuclear facilities were obliterated and noted that most damage took place far below ground level. Iranian media then reported that Israel was carrying out new strikes on the Fordo nuclear facilities today. With Israeli media...

saying the IDF was targeting an access road at the site. Meanwhile, huge clouds of smoke towered over Tehran as Israel launched a wave of strikes with unprecedented force, including on a military headquarters, killing hundreds of guard members. Reuters says Israel hits Iran's Evin prison a day after the U.S. joins the war. That is Israel saying this prison houses dissidents and those who oppose the regime.

Bombing this, of course, was not to target those individuals, but to help them escape. The U.S. has issued a warning to U.S. citizens in Qatar. Qatar, Qatar, whatever. Given shelter in place warning. The U.S. embassy in Qatar warned American citizens to shelter in place until further notice. The embassy said in its June 23 alert that it was acting out of an abundance of caution, but gave no details. Qatar is home of the Al Udeid Air Base, the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East.

It follows a worldwide security alert issued by the State Department on June 22nd. The conflict with Iran escalates after U.S. strikes on the country's nuclear facilities. The conflict between Israel and Iran has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspaces in the Middle East, the alert said. There is the potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution. An earlier alert from the embassy in Qatar warned al-Udeid,

personnel to exercise increased vigilance and said access to the base has been temporarily restricted. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. It is about to ramp up in a rather insane degree. J.D. Vance warns Iran retaliation would be the stupidest thing in the world, says the U.S. is prepared despite sleeper cell concerns. The latest news, and there's more, with threats of nuclear armaments. Man, it's one of those days.

Let me tell you, my friends, I didn't vote for this. I certainly did not. But we don't live in a black and white reality. I'm not going to sit here and cry and demand impeachment or freak out and bang the table as if the world literally just ended because the United States has done what the United States tends to always do from every president in my lifetime, bombing foreign countries. Here we go again. The scale of which this may be a serious problem

is, uh, hitherto undreamt of, uh, no, I'm, I'm exaggerating a little bit. I think there is a very, very strong probability. I don't know to what number, but Iran likely does not escalate beyond what they're already doing. Missile strikes on Israel. Eventually they run out. Things stop. The U S bombed nuclear targets. Israel is continuing to bomb military targets. This from Israel is where we may get drawn out into a longer war, but

Despite the fact that China has sent aid to Iran, Russia has made these statements. I am still not convinced that based on the news we are seeing in the geopolitical landscape, it makes sense for Russia or China to intervene on behalf of Iran. This would mean they would have to arm Iran and then prepare Iran to fire on U.S. assets. That's a massive undertaking.

I think with the warning to Qatar, I try to think of it like this. I understand it's more than just a bar fight. But what do you do when you're in a room of people and you can see that even those that are supposed to be closest to you are telling you, hey, man, it's not going to happen. Maybe you just surrender, right? Maybe you realize you're the odd one out, but maybe you're strong. The question I think needs to be answered is, is Iran strong?

Irrational actor and they are considered largely to be. And that means 90 million people in that country. Do they have a rigid enough authority structure that the people of Iran would permit retaliation, which would bring about their occupation? Trump says regime change. Indeed. While J.D. Vance and and others are saying no boots on the ground, Trump is saying, OK, OK, but we do want regime change.

There's a very real possibility. Internally, in Iran, following this, they just remove the Ayatollah. They say, we're not going to win this war. OK, we are not going to be able to retaliate. So what do you do? You surrender. You give up. I want you all to think about this way. Imagine one day you and all your friends, you know, Antifa shows up and they start smashing out your windows. They sell your cars on fire.

And then your neighbors all say, we're not with you on this one. We're with them. What do you do? This is what's happening with Iran. They're basically surrounded Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, Iraq is getting interesting because the Iraqis don't like what we're doing in Iran. Afghanistan, we've largely abandoned. And then you have the Gulf states, Bahrain and Qatar and Saudi Arabia are largely on our side with this one. They don't want to intervene, but they don't want the Strait of Hormuz closed. What's Iran going to do?

I don't I don't see the play Iran's got. Now, if they're ideologically driven and the people of Iran genuinely feel threatened and angry over this, then perhaps they say to the end, to the end. And we end up with an escalation into a full blown World War Three. I'll make a few political points, but we do have a lot of other news stories to break down and I can't get them all into one segment.

But I'll just talk politically. Let's let's you know, I did a quick video. We were driving when news broke and then I uploaded a little bit later. It's Saturday night. I think the strikes were reported around seven o'clock. There are a lot of people who said that Trump was the no new wars president and that's why they were voting for him. And that mattered to them. And they used that talking point to rally moderates to vote for Donald Trump.

Trump has just started a new war. Now, by all means, you can say it's not a formal declaration of war. Congress needs to do that. But when Trump orders a bombing campaign in a foreign country, you're at war, baby. Unless Iran just surrenders right away. We can call it that. There are a lot of people that said Trump was a no new wars president who are now cheering for war because the point was always just to rally those who they needed to vote for Trump so they could win. I'll put it this way. Trump's from me.

Not going to have one big bad thing overwrite everything he's done so far and in his first term. I am disappointed and I am deeply worried about what this means. This news is so massive. This is something that will be written about in the history books forever. This is a pivotal, formative moment for the United States. It matters. It's news so pressing. I've got people texting me about it. I have people asking me what's going on.

Most news they don't care about. I mean, even when it comes to the culture wars in this country, whether Trump's going to win, I know some people are like, whatever, man, I don't care. But bombing Iran with the U.S. now issuing warnings that there may be Iranian cyber attacks against the U.S., then people are starting to take notice. Now, my big concern is U.S. industrial control systems. Sure, we can bomb nuclear facilities.

Securing our industrial infrastructure is not so easy. We've done well, is my understanding from my people who work in operational security. They've said that we've improved OPSEC and we've strengthened the code base for a lot of the industrial control systems because of fear of cyber attacks. But you can only do so much. The fear is that Iran is going to target the electrical grid and then we will be left without power.

You know, the challenging thing with moves like this, Iran can cause massive amounts of damage to the world. And we can, what, we blow up their mountain bunker? Yeah, okay. They shouldn't be enriching uranium. They shouldn't be trying to make nuclear weapons. My fear is not launching nukes. It's them giving out fissile material to a bunch of lunatics like the Houthi rebels. But when we spend, what is this? We had $30 to $40 million in bombs.

That's how much we spent when we dropped these bunker busters. Not to mention the 37 hour deployments, probably $100 million campaign. Isn't that crazy? Maybe 60, 70 to do damage on Iran. Iran can click a button on a computer and shatter billions from the global economy. They can kill millions with an attack on our electrical grid. Then what? Then do we invade?

I made the prediction before. I'll say it again before we move on. I've got a lot more to record in this regard. It's going to be an Iran day, my friends. The Strait of Hormuz is under threat. Already U.S. tankers have turned around. I'm sorry, not U.S. tankers, oil tankers. They don't want to get trapped in the Persian Gulf. So the Strait of Hormuz is how you gain access to the Persian Gulf, which is Bahrain and Qatar, as well as Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has other means, but the Persian Gulf, a lot of oil there. And it's all moving out through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says they'll shut it down. There's already signal jamming. Tankers are already turning around. They don't want to go through it. You go through the Strait, you get into the Persian Gulf, and then they close it down and you're stuck. So these companies think it's not worth it. We'll trade elsewhere. That's one-fifth the global oil supply. Gas prices may go up.

functionally they should. Trump may try to mitigate this in some ways. My fear then is that the U.S., Trump knows this, seeking to secure the Strait, dispatches U.S. security forces. We've got an air base. We've got the Nimitz now on location. And Iran says no. They say this is the one place we can actually fight. Now, here's what I'll say. I think we'll have boots on the ground. I do. A lot of people are telling me I'm wrong. It will never happen.

Iran is going to play chicken with us. Let me say this. Let me say this. I could be totally wrong. I accept that. As I already stated, there's a possibility that nobody does anything. Iran simply backs off and says, please stop bombing us. That may be the case. But I believe there is also a decent probability that...

Iran's going to strike on U.S. forces in the Strait of Hormuz because it's where they can. They're ideologically driven and they're going to say it's one thing we can do. And if we are going down, we will burn as much as we can as we do. There are a lot of people like that. There's a lot. There are a lot of people that they're rational actors. But you better be prepared to sacrifice everything to go up against them. Trump may be one of those guys. And that's the big question Iran might have. But Iran might say, I don't care.

The world will remember. Iran, they posted on X that they were going to, their move was going to be remembered for centuries. That's a bold claim. But if they are ideologically driven and they have enough either support from the public or apathy, they may just say, we will burn the world down before we let you take our power from us. So what do you do?

If the Strait of Hormuz is shuttered and we get a Gulf War where there's just bombs exploding and nobody can get around and a fifth of the world oil supply is shuttered, there's only one option. You've got to secure the coastline. And that is a massive coastline in Iran. They don't need to take Tehran. They just need to get troops in and shut down any military effort along the coast to maintain the Strait of Hormuz.

There is a strong probability, in my opinion, that's the direction all of this goes, especially if the U.S. is hit with a cyber attack. But we've got a lot more to break down. I got like 50 articles of all the different things that are happening. News is still developing. So I'll wrap it up there. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Stay tuned. More to come. And we'll see you all in the next segment.

The spokesperson for Donald Trump's Department of State has said that Israel is the greatest country on Earth. Not literally. She actually said that the U.S. is the greatest country on Earth next to Israel.

which, of course, the implication being that Israel is greater than the United States. And boy, are people pretty angry over this one. Even moderates who are sick of the whole Israel-Palestine issue and largely don't want to be involved are saying, what are you doing to the Trump State Department spokesperson?

Now, right now, you see people like John Fetterman, a Democrat, as well as many Democrats, not all of them, and conservatives cheering on Israel specifically and Donald Trump's actions in Iran bombing these nuclear targets. Now, I bring this up because you may be a Trump supporter and you make the argument, Tim, no, you're wrong. Trump had to do this. He had to strike Iran. OK, I'm talking about these politicians that are seemingly more interested in what Israel wants.

than what the United States needed to do over the issue of the nuclear bunkers. And this is true. John Fetterman is a really great example because he has been super pro-Israel for a very long time. And you know what? I got to tell you, I don't care if you're pro-Israel. The issue I'm bringing up right now is, yeah, everyone needs to calm down. The spokesperson for the State Department is saying America is the greatest country on Earth next to Israel.

The outrage that it's causing and the actions of politicians that predate well the Donald Trump decision to strike nuclear bunkers. Let me play the clip for you and then we'll talk about the story in depth. Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with Ultra Titanium Aluminum.

You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water. But you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to Progressive and you could save big time.

For water bottles. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary. 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. 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 love so much and I...

and that I feel genuinely represented by. It's a real honor. No, don't do it. Don't. She did it. All right. Rubio spokesman sparks MAGA anger over U.S.-Israel comments. What's this?

So this is Secretary of State's Marco Rubio spokeswoman angered Donald Trump's America First following by appearing to suggest the United States is next to Israel in terms of being the best country in the world. Tammy Bruce made the quip during an appearance last month on the Israeli TV show I-24 News. Indeed, it's an old story. It's going viral now because the argument being made by many people is that the U.S. is bombing Iran at the behest of Israel. Let's just let's just try and be reasonable here, guys.

Is it a stupid thing to say? Yes. I think it's pretty obvious what she was trying to do. She's in Israel speaking to Israeli media and she's buttering them up. That's it. Because the people of Israel think their country is the best. Everybody thinks there's, well, not literally everybody, but many people think they have the best country. You know, people in Scandinavia are going to be like, our country is so much better for a variety of reasons. There are many countries that know they're worse than the United States. Don't get me wrong.

She chuckled when she said it. It was a comma next to Israel comma because she was basically just pandering to the Israelis, not literally pledging adherence to or praising the nation of Israel like in any meaningful way. That being said, it ain't going to help with the conspiracy theories.

The clip has been shared numerous times in X. One video shows Bruce's comments before and after her Israel remark. It was shared by Ken Klippenstein in a post that went viral with more than 5 million views. Israel is now embroiled in a military conflict with Iran, launching a strike. I'm going to tell you what the problem is, okay? So let me read. They say she granted her sit-down interview with I-24 in early May, but the clip of her remarks about which country is the best has only begun going viral.

During the interview, Bruce discussed her relationship with Judaism, U.S. foreign policy and the Trump presidency with political journalist Mike Wagenheim. She told him she was sadly not Jewish. Jeez, lady. Despite media reports that suggested otherwise. She added that after the 2023 attack by Hamas against Israel, she bought a Star of David necklace to wear on the air to show her affinity with the Jewish people.

Later, an apparently throwaway comment about which country is the best subsequently enraged some mega supporters. She was discussing her experience on the job since she assumed the role. The pride of being able to be here in the State Department and do work that facilitates making things better for people. And in the greatest country on earth, next to Israel, she delivered along with a smile to her interview interviewer.

She continued, and it's an honor to be able to make a difference, blah, blah, blah. As the clip went viral online overnight on Sunday, thousands of people took to X to share their views. Some were MAGA supporters furious that Bruce had placed America next to Israel in her ranking. Some suggested she should lose her job. I got to be honest, man. If you're going to be the spokesperson for a department, you can't make these mistakes. One user, Magaman, says, I'm sorry, but she needs to be relieved of her duties effective immediately. Yeah, look.

If we know what it means to say next to it means second fiddle, it means second to write the I think she was trying to make she was it was it. I don't think it was intended to be a literal statement that we all understand and all believe Israel's better. I think she was basic. Here's what I think the meaning of her statement was. America is the greatest country on Earth.

I get it. The people of Israel think Israel is the best country on earth. Anyway, I think that's the message he was trying to convey. Now, by all means, tell me I'm wrong. I don't care. Whatever. The anti-Israel people believe that Israel controls the United States, which I think is the dumbest thing ever. I certainly think there are people that love Israel too much. And I just what I can't wrap my head around is these people don't understand there's a two way street here. They think like Trump works for Netanyahu. Now,

I do believe largely what a lot of these people do is they say that because they're trying to strike at Trump's ego and Trump supporters egos by it's like a really mad, like a man insult. Right. Doesn't really work on women the same way. But they're basically telling these guys you are subservient to someone else, not genuinely believing it. Many do. Don't get me wrong.

When they say Trump is Netanyahu's bitch or something like this, they're trying to offend Trump into defying Netanyahu. When they tweet at me and say, like, this is the stupidest thing ever. I make a 10 minute long video. I'm like, we shouldn't have bombed Iran and get involved. And these people are like, hey, they're Shabbo's boy. And that's how you know they're bots. It's not real. And that's why I largely don't care. I've made this point before. Actually, let me let me let me wrap up the thoughts on this real quick.

There are people in this country that love Israel, but I don't understand. Like people seem to think it's a one way street that Israel influences the U.S. And that's it. As if the U.S. doesn't influence Israel to a much greater degree. And I certainly think that is the case. Fetterman, of course, has been praising Israel and calling for actions in Iran, calling for support after October 7th to a very heavy degree, even like flying the flag, like he's on a building or something doing that.

And that's OK. There are some people that are very, very pro-Israel. Their interests are aligned with Israel. And some people say that, what do they call it, Zionist occupied government or whatever. It's like there are people who believe in Israel. And Ted Cruz said it. The Bible says, blessed are those who bless Israel. They genuinely believe that. That's a real thing. But I don't think it's—I think it's stupid to say that—

Israel controls the United States. Certainly when Tammy Bruce says this and the video goes viral, she ain't helping anybody dispel those rumors. I think my assessment is correct. But that being said, let me tell you about the bots on X. The way automated bots largely work, some are sock puppets. What is that? It's when one person will operate multiple accounts. So there's a guy named Bill and he's got an account named Janet and, you know, the mega king over here.

And then he operates them, making them post online. So it appears as though multiple people share this view. That's why I don't fall for bot strikes. I largely ignore it. I don't care. I think what I think. There is a funny circumstance you can see with someone like me. I'm like the best example of it. Look at the responses to my tweets. Quite literally, I can say something like the U.S. should not be involved in a war with in Israel's war with Iran.

And I will get a massive spattering of AI generated profile photo accounts saying things like you work for Israel, Shabbos, Goy, whatever. Now, hold on a minute. Why would the people who don't like Israel insult me when I agree with them? That doesn't seem to make sense, does it? Because here's how it works. The bots are pre-programmed to target certain keywords and certain profiles are attributed to certain ideologies.

So if you are a moderate where it's like me, for instance, I'm like the Israel does not run the Israel does not run the world or control the United States. Shut up. That being said, I don't know why we're funding them. I don't know why we're involved. That's like a fairly moderate libertarian position. It's like I don't care. They can do whatever they want. Just leave me out of it. Right. Bots are binary. Someone will have an account that will run. They'll have a program that will run, say, 100 bot accounts.

They will then say these personalities are pro-Israel. These personalities are anti-Israel. They will then tell their anti-Israel bots to spam attack anybody on the pro-Israel side when they post about the issue. It's rudimentary. Now, in essence, it works because of hyperpolarization. People tend to be on one side or the other of an issue. Even Trump supporters right now are largely coming around to support him.

However, something weird happens then when you get nuance in a political viewpoint. Someone who hates Israel will comment to me when I criticize Israel as though I commented in support of Israel, which makes no sense. And the inverse is true as well. There are people that are pro-Israel that, like, this is what happens when you're on, like, if you're not all in on one thing, you get both. That's why I was saying...

We should have the ability to filter out countries because I think a lot, largely, a lot of this is anti-Israel nation states lobbying these attacks against people. And I believe if I were to get rid of, if I was going to say, I don't want to see any tweet from anybody unless they're in the United States. Some people say, yeah, but VPNs, Tim, they'll bypass that. I don't care. A filter's a filter. Filters don't get rid of everything. Even the antibacterial soap you use only kills 99.9% of bacteria.

But we use it. We want to get rid of as much of the garbage as we can. Anyway, this is what I think we largely see. And there are a lot of personalities that are anti-Israel that jumped millions or hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of followers seemingly overnight when they post the stupidest things imaginable about Israel.

Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with Ultra Titanium Alloy Metal. You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water. But you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to Progressive and you could save big time.

Switch to Progressive and you could save big time.

For water bottles. Progressive casualty insurance company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary. And I think people are being tricked by foreign actors into believing this. And it's fascinating. I'm never going to change my opinion on geopolitics based on the comments I receive on Twitter, on X. I read the news. I will talk with sources and security experts. And I'll come to a conclusion. That's always been the case. Sometimes people get mad at me. That's just the way it is. I can tell you this.

I think my assessment is correct that she was just trying to butter up Israelis on Israeli media because obviously they're not going to believe their country's second fiddle. But come on. Israel is not greater than the United States. The United States is the greatest country in every facet. Greatest in terms of military and great doesn't have to mean good. It just means of consequence. You name it. It's the U.S. Thank you. Have a nice day. I'll wrap up there. Stay tuned. We've got a lot more to talk about. A lot more.

Follow me on Instagram at Timcast and we'll see you all in the next segment. Because they don't care. They don't care. They don't know. They don't care. Left wing activists help illegal child rapist escape from ICE. That is, ICE was attempting to serve a warrant. They wanted to arrest an illegal immigrant who had been convicted of child rape. And leftist activists showed up on scene to alert him so that he could escape.

Because they don't care. Ideology and cult over everything. You know, I've got friends, and I'm sure many of you do, some of which are falling deep into the cult. They cannot see beyond the immediate people who surround them. As the saying goes, you're the summation of the five people who surround you. And that is who deeply influences your views and the way you operate.

These people turn on the TV and they see protests. This is why the left protests. And I think this is why it's important the right understands this. When a leftist or a liberal, they're different. But when they see on the Internet or on TV a thousand people, they are told it's everyone. They are told that everyone hates Trump. Everyone hates ICE.

And that when these activists say things like these are innocent individuals, members of our community, they don't care to look into it. It's a fact because they see a crowd. This has been a long tactic of the United States. The idea is

If you can get a thousand people to protest in any country, you can then claim in mass media worldwide that everyone in that country is outraged and demanding a change or action. In fact, again, with Egypt and Tahrir Square, a couple thousand people, but the country's government collapsed twice. This is what drives these lunatics because no sane person is going to help a child rapist, right? Unless they're in a cult.

The Daily Wire reports left-wing activists on Friday allegedly tipped off an illegal alien who's a convicted child rapist, helping him escape from land from landing in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Quote, This morning, ICE and FBI Denver were attempting to arrest Jose Reyes, Leon Derris, a criminal alien from El Salvador who is convicted of and wanted for child rape in Italy. ICE's Denver field office posted to X during our surveillance of Leon.

Members of Colorado Rapid Response arrived on scene and alerted him to law enforcement's presence, which allowed him to escape arrest. Colorado Rapid Response is a far left anti-ICE organization that's been responding to immigration raids. The group's website says the organization is committed to responding to raids, deportation and any immigration customs enforcement activity happening across the state in our communities.

The group is a hotline asking for tips from people who, quote, witness ICE activity or if you want to document an experience with ICE. I say these people should be charged for conspiracy obstructing the arrest of an individual. I think this should be investigated and whichever individual was responsible for that should be criminally charged. They say monitors the documentation of ICE activity.

The Colorado Rapid Response says monitors police ICE collaboration detects patterns that can guide our legislative efforts and build a robust statewide network of people resisting deportations in their communities. ICE Denver condemned the group and others like it, writing groups like this interfere with ICE's ability to keep communities safe.

If you know his whereabouts, do not approach. If seen, instead report all info to ICE at 1-866-347-2423. Saying, to law enforcement's presence, which allowed him... What is that? That's clearly cut off. What is that? Daily Wire, I don't think, got the full... Okay, it says... Oh, I see, I see, I see. There was another tweet, but they don't know how to use X. That's weird they put a dot, dot, dot, consider, and you can just long form it.

This morning, ICE and FBI Denver were attempting to arrest Jose Reyes Yariata. During our surveillance, rapid response arrived on scene and alerted him to law enforcement's presence, which allowed him to escape arrest. Groups like this interfere with ICE's ability to keep communities safe. If you know his whereabouts, do not approach. If seen, instead, report all info to ICE.

Protests and riots against ICE agents have popped up in liberal cities across the nation as President Donald Trump continues to fulfill his campaign promise to deport illegals, prioritizing immigrants who've committed serious crimes. The DOJ this past week announced it's pursuing more charges against suspects accused in taking part in the violent anti-ICE riots, specifically those in California, the Daily Wire highlighted. It is pretty crazy where we've come to as a nation.

And, you know, I've been dealing with it more so recently, which is strange considering we're winning polls across the board. Public sentiment is all skewing in our direction. That's why Donald Trump won the national popular vote. But man, what do you do? What do you do? Because the cult is the cult, man. I'll put it this way. You guys know this show. You watch the show. Not everybody does. But people who are on the right staunch conservatives, let's say Stephen Crowder's Mug Club.

Much more conservative than I, much more conservative than the audience of this show with some overlap. I'm sure many of you watched even Crowder as well. Dude, his show is so funny, man. It's I just I love it. It's really funny. But of those of you that are more conservative than I, you know what I think about things. You know my positions on these on these issues and these stories. And often you disagree. The left does not.

The left lives in a cult like crackpot reality where everything is black and white and they can't fathom it. You know, I was trying to explain to a friend there is to the left. There are two teams. There is the left and everybody else. But to everybody else, there's like 50 teams. There was an old chart showing Donald Trump support based by ideology based on economic or cultural views.

Democrats were clustered into a hyper cultural, cultural left area. Economy didn't matter so much. It was all cultural and it was all clustered in the bottom left quadrant. Trump supporters were spread out evenly, ranging on cultural issues and actually on economic issues with a lean towards small government and free market.

That is, there were many Trump supporters that leaned more towards a Democratic socialist style of government. Indeed. But on cultural issues, they were with Trump. And that's why they voted for the man. That cluster. How do you convince people they're in a cult they can't see out of when they're surrounded by cultists? Back in the day.

Before there was actually, let me say this. Cult mentality has always existed. And when we had a singular mass media cult like social adherence, it's a real thing. Now, when we talk about cults, we we usually refer to some kind of charismatic leader. That's what defines the cult. Right. But there is cult like ideation and formation and any society can have it be zealous and ideologically driven.

So let me put it this way. When the United States was largely unified under a media apparatus controlled by Mockingbird and the CIA, everybody basically agreed. And during the Cold War, if you were a commie, you were in trouble. In fact, you didn't even have human rights. The Civil Rights Act specifically says communists don't count. That's crazy. So back then, there was a zealotry, but the country was largely unified. And so it was OK. Back when there were blasphemy laws, even after the ratification of the Constitution,

Yeah, you couldn't you couldn't blaspheme in public. You'd go to jail. Zealotry and ideological zealotry existed. So right now, what we're seeing with the left is they're adhering with fervent zealotry to an ideology that is unfounded. The reason why I call it a cult is that they believe things that are not true.

They do not check the facts. They keep themselves blinded. And that is, it is a cult without a leader. It is a structure. It is without a nucleus. Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with Ultra Titanium Alloy.

alloy metal. You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water. But you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to Progressive and you could save big time for water bottles. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary. And so long as they reinforce each other's views, they will stay in that cult. Now, how do you break someone from a cult?

You have to physically remove them from it. But with social media and the phone, that's not likely to happen. They're attached to it. You see, back in the day, when this country was unified under a single media apparatus, you weren't watching the news 24-7. There were a bunch of different companies. And so while there was typically a narrative, you know, the Cold War, for instance, on communists, there were still differing viewpoints because people lived in different places. News traveled in different ways. But now these leftists, people even I know,

Follow only other cult accounts who filter out anything that is bad for their worldview. For example, 10 years ago, not 10 years ago, but, you know, seven years ago, I'm in San Bernardino. Actually, this might have been 10 years ago. Wow. A group of leftists were protesting and I walked over with my camera and said, hey, could I ask you guys what are you protesting? Immediately, one of their leaders started yelling, mic check. That's what they do. And then the whole group's are going, mic check, mic check.

And they said, do not, do not talk to, talk to the press. They need to isolate the information people receive. I was in Berkeley during the battle for Berkeley. Well, battle for Berkeley too, I guess. And there was an Antifa guy and he was fighting with people on the right. And I asked him, what was he, what was he, if I could talk to him, like, what was he doing?

And he said, fascists came here and we're trying to stop them. We're trying to get them out. And I was like, what do you mean by fascist? And he's like, you know, like people who want the government to control everyone's lives and like take over. And then I was like, so like authoritarians, like, yeah, like tyranny, you know, they want rigid control. Right. And I said, those people in the park. And he's like, yup. And I was like, do you think those people like guns? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, and you think that they want more people to have guns? And he was like, yeah.

And then I said, but isn't that anti-fascist? Because you're basically saying the government shouldn't be the only one with guns. And then the people have the ability to fight back. And he goes, yeah. And I was like, so maybe they're not fascists. Maybe there's something else. And he was like, yeah, I don't know. He had a knife. He showed it to me. He showed me he was armed. And he said he would stab somebody if he had to. See, that's the thing. This guy was told that these people in the park wanted the government to control their lives.

And they were going to do it by force. And then I said, but don't these people think the government shouldn't be taking away people's guns and the people should have a right to keep them by arms to fight a tyrannical government? And he was like, yeah. And I was like, it kind of sounds like they oppose fascism, doesn't it? He agreed. That's why they don't want you talking to members of their cult. And that's why many of the members of the cult will reject information that defies their worldview, even if it means helping a child rapist.

I'm going to leave it there, my friend. Smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. Stay tuned. More to come today. It's going to be wild, man. Today's crazy. Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all in the next segment.

Not necessarily obliterated, but effectively obliterated. Israel has maintained airstrikes against Iran military targets targeting the IRGC and access paths to the Fordow facility.

As of right now, there's breaking news. As of the recording of this video, Qatar has shut down its airspace and the U.S. has warned U.S. citizens in Qatar to shelter in place. There's active fear. There's fear that Iran will begin to mine the Strait of Hormuz to prevent trade, which is one fifth of the world's oil shipments. And that'll be massive. Russia is now saying,

Other nations are rushing to supply Iran with active nuclear weapons following this attack by the United States. And the U.S. is conceding at least publicly they don't know what Iran has done with nearly 400 kilograms of uranium. Now, some speculate this is subterfuge. This is obfuscation on the part of the United States. The whole time this operation has been planned,

As much as y'all may disagree or agree, whatever your stance may be on the strike, Trump's operational security was impeccable. The pundit class, the commentators, the news, the experts were all convinced that this was not yet to come. And then sure enough, it did when everyone least expected it. In fact, the U.S. dispatched B-2 bomber decoys over the Pacific and no one saw this coming.

In fact, it's reported that even Vance and Hegseth were opposed to the strike. But Trump was adamant how this information didn't leak. I don't know, considering as porous as this and the previous administration has been. It actually is impressive, Obsec, despite the fact that many people are torn on this. And it seems like we are escalating towards a dangerous future.

Now, there's a lot to break down and questions of whether or not this will actually escalate into World War Three with Russia warning. Not only will Iran get the nukes, but there will be World War Three from this. OK, Russia. Russia's been warning of World War Three for like two years now. So they keep saying this is it. This is it. This will cause World War Three. Let me say, OK, maybe this is where things ramp up.

There's rumors that Iran is now meeting with Pakistan. Pakistan has publicly condemned Donald Trump after just nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. And Russia and China are said to be gearing up to get involved. I'm not entirely convinced, but it does look like the dominoes are starting to fall over.

Now, the scenario people are hoping for is that this is much like the strike on Soleimani and that with the U.S.'s actions in Iran, there is no further escalation. Israel says they're going to end their war with Iran in a matter in the next few days. Iran may even just run out of ballistic missiles and choose not to escalate. Some have stated, some experts giving their opinion that there will not be World War Three because people are sane and don't want to die. They just want to be fat and happy.

And the retaliation against this strike would only lead to Russia, China or India or any other country that may find themselves involved just losing money. And the people in power, they like their infinity pools, man. Do they really want to give up all of that? We are no longer necessarily in the era of ideology. There's only a few holdouts on the global stage.

Most of these countries are driven by power, and it's not so much a moral worldview as it is a personal worldview. So it's hard to know exactly what will happen.

I'm going to tell you guys, I have Cousin T's every day.

Every day. Well, I didn't have it today, to be fair. I'm trying to be honest. But we actually have a ton of Cousin T's. I just ordered a bunch more syrups from Cousin T.

Officials concede they don't know the fate of Iran's uranium stockpile. Both Vice President J.D. Vance and Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, acknowledged questions about the whereabouts of Iran's stockpile of near bomb-grade nuclear material. We have this story from The Telegraph. Fears over Iran's missing 400 kilograms of uranium. Now, many people are pointing out, hey, wait a minute. We got a picture of all these trucks, right?

Which truck carried the uranium? Was it one, two, three, four, five? Was it all of them? Some have stated, well, can't we track where these trucks go? Indeed, it's a good assessment. The issue is there's multiple trucks. You don't know what they're being loaded with, and they could be decoys. They are not there on the ground. Just because a truck is there does not mean that truck is carrying the uranium.

So there could potentially be, let's just do some quick math here. How many trucks we got? We got 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 trucks. Maybe it's kind of hard, a little grainy, but it looks like about 16.

You don't know which ones have trucks. They could these trucks could go to facilities and 16 more trucks could come out of each of those facilities and those trucks get spread around. What happens? Sure. The U.S. can say we've tracked all the trucks, but now we're dealing with 16 by 16. And then how many more? How many more locations are they not going to be able to track? Therein lies the big challenge.

They say Iran claims to have smuggled almost all the country's highly enriched uranium to a secret location before the U.S. launch strikes on its nuclear bases. Three of Tehran's most critical enrichment facilities, including its underground facility at Fordow, were pummeled by B-2 stealth bombers and a barrage of submarine-launched missiles early on Sunday. Submarine-launched missiles. That's crazy. That's crazy. Those are long-range missiles. Very, very nuts. Now, the one thing I do want to say...

I am not for this. I know it's a rock and a hard place, and it's easy to sit in my air-conditioned building in the middle of West Virginia with no stake in the game. Well, minimal, to be honest. It's easy to just be like, why are we doing this without really knowing? But my point is, I do not feel that the U.S. has justified these strikes to the American people, the threat, the risk, et cetera. I don't think they did a good job. That being said, to those pilots and the crew on this mission,

It's amazing. 37 hour round trip flight in these bombers with nothing but a small chemical toilet, probably eating some MREs. Very impressive strike. As much as I don't like the U.S. involvement, the U.S. military is the Air Force and all those involved. Terrifyingly effective and impressive.

They're going to say officials believe that most of the material at Fordo and Iran's other facilities had been moved elsewhere. Iran has vowed to continue enriching uranium in defiance of Trump raising further concerns over its nuclear program. We have this breaking news. Qatar has shut down its airspace temporarily to ensure the safety of visitors and residents, the Qatari foreign minister says. And we have I'm sorry, this is not the one I was looking for. Here we go.

We have this from Fox News. Americans in Qatar told to shelter in place as Iranian military threatens action against U.S. interests. It's the escalation escalation that we are deeply concerned about.

Now, the U.S. engaged in these strikes and they may have shut down Iran's ability to enrich the uranium. But if they already have 400 kilograms, then nothing's been averted, especially considering the other report. Russia is claiming a former Russian president, I believe it is, said that production of nuclear weapons in Iran will continue. And other countries, multiple nations are stepping in to provide Iran with nukes. I don't believe this has actually solved any of the problem.

Now, again, for those that watch the morning segment, there is a chain of events people are fearing right now. Iran is threatening to shutter the Strait of Hormuz. One fifth of oil trade moves through this strait into the Persian Gulf. They may place mines, sea mines, so that ships will explode. Tankers are already turning around, refusing to enter. They don't want to get trapped in the Persian Gulf if Iran does make this move. That's a massive asset to lose access to.

The U.S. is reportedly keeping an eye on this with Donald Trump saying, do not retaliate. Now, the fear, of course, is that the U.S. will move in and engage the Strait of Hormuz to try and keep it open, resulting in Iran striking U.S. assets and personnel, and then the U.S. seeking to secure the ground operations in Iran with boots on the ground.

And maybe they don't go that far. Trump may be in unable to make sure to move. That's a massive play that I'm not sure the U.S. has the capability of handling right now, especially with the war in Ukraine. Iran may be counting on that. So this may just be a game of chicken. And let me just say to all of you, you will not win a game of chicken with Donald Trump.

Iran may be thinking Trump wouldn't be so bold as to send U.S. personnel into the country. That gives them the opportunity to strike at the Strait of Hormuz and actually disrupt global trade. They can certainly launch missiles and rockets at U.S. targets in the Middle East. But the Strait of Hormuz is their strongest play right now as it puts pressure on several other nations. Now, if it were anyone other than Donald Trump, if it was Joe Biden, Iran, I think, might do it.

But I think Iran may be aware that you cannot win a game of chicken with Donald Trump. It's just not going to happen. Trump is not going to let them shutter the Strait of Hormuz. But if Iran is so bold, I think we could actually see boots on the ground. Maybe not immediately. It's not the same thing as Iraq and Afghanistan. The issue with Iraq and Afghanistan was that with Afghanistan, we were trying to set up military bases, regime change and nation building because the Taliban was a wild group of people.

Iraq, they want to get rid of Saddam Hussein personally, which meant you needed people to do it. With Iran, Trump has now floated regime change, but not from U.S. forces. He's basically saying the people of Iran should do it. We shouldn't be involved.

Fox News reports the U.S. Embassy in Qatar told Americans to shelter in place until further notice Monday morning. The embassy said it made the recommendation out of abundance of caution, but provided no other details. Qatar is home to the Al Udeid Air Base, where approximately 10,000 U.S. soldiers are deployed. The advisory came after the State Department issued a warning to American citizens on Sunday, quote,

There is the potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution. Now, Pakistan may be getting involved. There are rumors that Iran has met with Pakistan. Pakistan, according to Euronews reports, Pakistan condemns Trump's bombing of Iran after backing him for Nobel Peace Prize. Just these headlines.

That's basically the story. Islamabad on Sunday criticized Washington for attacking Iran, saying that the strikes constituted a serious violation of international law and the statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Quote, the unprecedented escalation of tension and violence owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond, Pakistan's foreign ministry said.

And of course, as I mentioned, Russia is warning multiple nations will now provide nuclear weapons to Iran. Now, I'll tell you why I'm pissed. I am both simultaneously impressed and pissed off. The operational security of the Trump administration was perfect. They had everybody convinced. We were all convinced. Even Tucker Carlson said Trump was negotiating in good faith. And now we know that the whole time they had been preparing B-2 bombers to drop bunker busters everywhere.

on Fordo, as well as Nance and Isfara. They did not plan this overnight. So we were all told we were all convinced. But it seems like the negotiations had ended a while ago. Trump did give him 60 days. And when he didn't pull through, seems like Trump made that decision. You know, I'm split on this one. Let me just say this. I am largely against the U.S. intervention in the region, despite fully understanding that

The real risk with Iranian enriched uranium is not a nuclear missile launching in the air and landing on Israel. That is a risk. I think it's very low. I am not at all concerned about that. I think there's means of stopping these nukes in midair. You've got interceptors getting an ICBM through the air. In fact, this would be a mid-range nuclear warhead. Not likely. But fissile material falling into the hands of, say, Houthi rebels who can then cause serious damage.

That, I think, is a reality. Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. With that kind of money, you could go big time on a fancy water bottle with Ultra Titanium Alloy Metal. You're not sure why you need all that. I mean, it just holds water. But you're getting it anyway. Because if you're hiking near an active volcano and you accidentally drop the bottle into molten lava, your water will still be icy cold. Switch to Progressive and you could save big time.

Switch to Progressive and you could save big time.

For water bottles. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates not available in all states. Potential savings will vary. And now here's why, again, I've been opposed this intervention. Right now they're reporting they don't know where that fissile material is, 400 kilograms. It may now find its way into the hands of these crackpot groups. There's reports now that the Ayatollah may be removed. That could be good or bad. Perhaps it's a good thing. They say the risk here is...

That fissile material will spread out to random insurgent and extremist groups, and there's no unifying authority to negotiate with. Right now, you have the Ayatollah and you can say, do what we want and you will get something in return. These negotiations failed. A strike now means the Ayatollah may say, have fun. We're not going down. If they try to remove him, he may take it personally and just say, burn it all. These rebel groups, there's no one to negotiate with. You go one by one. That's going to be very difficult.

Now, many people are asking the question why Iran was so adamant about its nukes. Ladies and gentlemen, as I mentioned with the credibility of this White House and Donald Trump's insistence on on claiming there were negotiations underway while planning this bombing campaign. Understand, as much as you may like or not like this attack, the word of Donald Trump in the U.S. government is mud at this point now.

I think Donald Trump can speak to the American people on domestic issues and we can largely trust he will do what he means means to do. And he largely follows. He says what he's going to do. He just says it. He shows the executive order he's signing. We get that. But in terms of foreign negotiations, there is no incentive at any point now for foreign governments to trust what is being said to you by the U.S. except for trust that the U.S. will bomb the crap out of you. And I think that's why Trump did it.

That is to say, I am not saying this to impugn the honor or integrity of Donald Trump. I trust him. I voted for him. This is not what I want to see happen, but I'm not going to scream for impeach or anything crazy. I'm going to say, just get the job done. Do it right. Do it best. Let's deescalate. We don't want this to get worse. And it may be too late. But Donald Trump, I believe, took this action because he will not be seen internationally as a man afraid to act.

When he says we negotiate and you say no, he says, OK, OK, we'll negotiate. And then he bombs you intentionally. Many people have said no one's going to believe the U.S. now in any of these negotiations. I think Trump did that on purpose. He wants them to feel that even in their best case scenario, the bombs are only hours away. Now, there's risk there. Again, these threats may make people think twice about.

Spineless leaders don't want war. And if they think it ain't coming, they'll do whatever they want. Trump, he'll tell you he'll negotiate and it'll bomb you anyway. So back off. When Trump says don't, you don't. The disarmament of Libya.

In 2003, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed to eliminate his country's weapons of mass destruction program, including a decades-old nuclear weapons program. Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Libya's nuclear program was in the very initial stages of development at the time. As of 2013, over 800 tons of chemical and ingredients remain to be destroyed. This is why Iran said they, why they intended to make the moves they did.

Because Libya said they would give up nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. And then NATO launched air raids over there, a no-fly zone and air raids. The country then collapsed with the assistance of NATO. And Gaddafi was dragged to the street and killed. And Hillary Clinton bragged about it, stating, we came, we saw, he died. What do you think Iran said when their National Security Council convened after the fall of Libya?

I guarantee you, and this is not my speculation. This is the speculation of experts in the region. They said Iran came together and said there is no deal to be had. If you agree to give up your weapons, the U.S. will murder you. So Iran's intent was never to stop that program. Donald Trump is not Obama. Donald Trump is not Bill Clinton. Donald Trump is not George W. Bush. So when Trump said do it or else, we won't let you do it.

Iran likely said, we've seen what the U.S. does, even when you give up their weapons. So they refused. So Trump said, then you get the bunker busters. Now, Russia is also warning of World War Three. World War Three is near after Putin, now Russian foreign minister, warns about complete global chaos. OK, well, to be honest, if Russia didn't warn of World War Three at least once a week, I'd be worried. I'd say, hey, what's going on, guys? You're off schedule.

So their war doesn't mean all that much when they keep saying this, but there is a fear of World War III indeed, because the escalation is entirely likely, and it seems to be already happening. Iran is still firing missiles at Israel. Israel is still launching attacks on Iran. The war has not stopped. The question is, will anyone come to the assistance of Iran? I find it hard to believe. Not directly, not immediately. From NBC News.

J.D. Vance says the U.S. is, quote, not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program. Come on, dude. Spare me. OK, by all means, I understand that J.D. Vance was opposed to the strike. He ain't playing any stupid games. OK, maybe there's a legal issue here. But let me just tell you, you drop bunker busters on a foreign country, launch missiles from submarines as Tomahawk missiles. And I got to tell you, you're at war.

Iran has a say in this. The enemy has a say. And Iran says they're at war with the United States and the U.S. will regret it. They've threatened to kill, on their state media at least, 50,000 U.S. troops at a moment coffins. That's more than there are troops in the region, but you know, okay. What's the implication? Intervention? I do think it's a bit silly to claim we're not at war with Iran. Trump floats Iran regime change, even as the true impact of U.S. strikes is far from clear.

They say flush with the spoils of battle, he already seems to be toying with the idea of regime change. But the reality of whether Trump truly destroyed Iran's nuclear ambitions and the consequence of his aggression are far more ambiguous. Around the world raids by B-2 stealth bombers out of Missouri using never before deployed bunker busting bombs demonstrated the unique reach of the U.S. military and its continued potency despite Trump's Trump administration chaos at the Pentagon. Blah, blah, blah.

Now, Donald Trump floated regime change, but he didn't directly call for it. And I think that's why CNN isn't telling you what he actually said. Trump's let me pull up the actual post from Trump. He says it's not politically correct to say regime change. But if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change? Make Iran great again, perhaps from the Daily Mail.

Iranian officials plan to remove Ayatollah as supreme leader as Kareem Khamenei begs Putin for help and cuts off contact with him from within his secret bunker due to fears he will be assassinated. It's fog of war, propaganda, manipulation. All these things are true. Do the Iranian people support the Ayatollah or not? We don't know. We only know the intel that we get with the reporters say, and it may or may not be true. You choose who to trust. We had a debate.

On Friday, over whether we should intervene. A day later, we intervened. I was told by the pro-intervention debate individual, the people of Iran are cheering the Israeli strikes on their nation. There are people who have actually claimed that. There has been an attempt at a talking point that people in Iran are celebrating Israel's bombing of their nation. They support Israel. I'm sorry, but that's an absurdity.

But of course, that's fog of war. That's propaganda. We will be greeted as liberators, they said when we invaded Iraq. No, we won't. What country wants to be bombed by a foreign nation? Police stations, military assets. You may not like your government, but I don't want my soldiers getting blown up. We see this all the time. During the Bush administration,

Even me. Many people were like, we don't like the war. We don't like Bush, but we support the troops. The troops aren't the ones that voted for this. So many of them were going to be wrong, but they're following orders and they're engaging in what we viewed as what I would say. We were misled into that war, but it wasn't like the soldiers were staging genocide or anything like that. There were certainly bad things that had happened and many people went to jail and, you know, not the people who lied to us. But anyway.

What we are being told now is that we are to be greeted as liberators as we bomb Iran. No, we supported our troops. OK, I assure you, the people of Iran do not like that their roads are being bombed, that foreign nations can just launch strikes on their country on a whim, that their military is being attacked. You can change the regime. You can change the government. Now, there may be a plan. This may be true. I don't know, but it makes sense.

The Ayatollah may be hardheaded, saying we're not backing down. And the political interests of the nation may say, we just want food and shelter. We don't want war. So they'd rather see a negotiated surrender than death. The question is, what does the Ayatollah think is going to happen? Will he survive this if he surrenders? Probably not. If he says, we give up, we give up, then from within, he's done. And if he doesn't, that's the political turmoil.

He may be facing his end no matter what. And the speculation is as such. But now there are fears that Iran will retaliate. Qatar has closed its airspace. The Pentagon has warned of potential cyber attacks. They're warning Americans to get ready for phishing attacks and other attempts to break into industrial control systems. Shut down the grid. The threat is real. Iran can attack in ways that we won't even know it's them if they use cyber war and proxies.

So I warn you all, hope for the best, prepare for the worst. And we hope this doesn't escalate. There's a lot more to break down politically, but we're going to go to our interview. We have Thomas Massey on the line who will be talking to us about his view on things. Trump just came out with a massive post slamming Massey. So we'll be talking with him. That'll be up at 4 p.m. at rumble.com slash Tim Pool, as well as youtube.com slash Timcast. Don't miss it. Don't forget to smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, and I'll

Stay tuned. More to come, and we'll see you all then.
