FOUR Weeks to FLATTEN Tehran; Four Servicemembers killed per CENTCOM | Ep 748

Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends and welcome to the Kyle Serfin Show. Today is Monday, it is March the 2nd and I appreciate you guys coming along for the ride.

We're going to have kind of a different show today because I want to do some long form quotations, want to show you some video clips from the president of the United States who essentially declared that we are going to depose the Iranian regime. They were able to kill the Ayatollah over the weekend since we last talked. So I think it's worth hearing the man in his own words, make the justification for what's going on.

The problem is, is that he spent literally years saying the opposite of that and saying that this was not a great idea. And so anybody who wants to disagree with Donald Trump is going to have unlimited fodder of both Donald Trump's words and members of his cabinet saying exactly the opposite of what we're doing right now. So we'll listen to his his his speeches, the statements he made, including sort of declaring at what, 2:00 AM in a social media post while wearing

an American hat and no tie. He just popped up on the mic and spoke to an empty room in a month, you know, and then and then rolled out. Now here we go.

There's also some retrospective that's worth looking at, which is that the last time a president in this sort of scenario where you're likely to lose the House and maybe even the Senate at midterms, the last time that a president was actually able to pick up seats during this sort of experience for midterms was in 2002. And as one of my buddies pointed out, an awful lot of Toby Keith being played right now, like 2002, 2003, war in Iraq type sentiment.

So that's a strange place for us to be. There was also a terror attack in in Austin, TX. A little bit on that. I think that may be something that people should be aware of. Not because you necessarily live in Austin, TX, not because you're out at a bar at 2:00 AM 'cause I'm not, and many of you will not be either.

But it does mean that the threat picture in this country is going to pick up. And if you believe that our federal security apparatus is going to keep you safe, the only way they can do that is with utter and complete tyranny. So I don't think they're going to do that either. So we're going to get into all those things. I got a handful of news stories. Like I said, I've got a bunch of sort of evidence why people are going to be attacking Donald

Trump's decision. I'll let you guys make up your own mind. There are plenty of reasons to get excited about the capabilities of American force and the ability to project force. And yet there's plenty of reasons to hold people accountable to their own words. And I think that's reasonable, too. So we'll do all that in one second here talked about the idea that you might be seeing

some danger in your hometown. We just had a a guy step into a a bar with a rifle and a handgun and A and a hoodie that said property of a la. One of the things you might want to do is make sure you insulate yourself. Carry yourself a firearm. I will show you this one right here for my friends over at silent. This is a bag that you can use. It's a concealed carry sling.

It actually blends in pretty well with his black shirt and you can not only get yourself off grid, which I will show you right here, it sits into this little pouch, disappears in there. It's tight and firm disappears away. You've got room for wallet. You've got room for extra little things.

Oh, what do I have in here? I have a magazine, a sister, an easy loader because right behind where you keep the Faraday pouch is this little big loop and you can keep a handgun in there, which is something you might want to do. This one actually is my wife's. This is her, her Sig P365. Guys, if you are interested in being able to carry and get off grid on your choice, this is a really nice piece of equipment.

We own 1 now and I probably will end up with another one in Multicam black because that's my jam. We've been using it for hiking. You can put a little Boo Boo bag in there. You can put all kinds of little stuff you might need Licky's and Chewy's, the snacks and things like that. And you can jump off grid and you just hang out. You might want to have your pockets free. Sometimes I like to go hike in some really lightweight shorts and I don't want to necessarily

put on a heavy belt. I don't want to put something in my waistband. I just kind of want to be unrestricted so I can bend over and climb and get on rocks and stuff like that with my kiddos. And, and this is an an excellent option. I can actually also carry like a GoPro on there, some batteries, things like that.

If you're not carrying on a regular basis, you should consider it. And if you're looking for a way to do kind of more than one thing, little cross body body sling like this, which can double as a purse for women, it works pretty well for men for all the things you're doing. Yeah, it can also use, you can use it as kind of a bigger Fanny pack or a waste pack. Check out silent. It's SLN, t.com/K, YLE again, SLNT or silent.com. There's no vowels in it. Slash Kyle.

Use my name at checkout. Kyle, save yourself 15% think these things are in like the $130.00 ish range. It's got a lot of functionality, it's got a lot of capabilities. You can actually even take the the Faraday case out and put it on a plate carrier. You can slap it on there. You can peel it off the hook and loop here. So look at them, look at that website and then go kind of

digging around. Find out the things that make sense for your life, whether it be a backpack, wrestling bag, but maybe give yourself an opportunity to unplug from the world. There's a lot of bad news out there, but having your phone with you is probably still a good choice, especially if you're going into a place where there's people you might need to make a call.

But you maybe want to just be able to enjoy a church service like I did this Sunday. So check out our Silent Faraday Partners link in the show description. Let's get into today's program. There's a lot to cover and we're going to start it right now. Hopefully I don't get myself in trouble showing a weapon system in a bag without being touched.

I know they have some special rules on YouTube, so there you go. It was just a quick little glimpse, just a little peek behind the curtain on that thing. Guys lot to go and talk about.

I guess the the first thing I wanted to do is I want to retouch what we talked about last week and I don't want to leave it without sort of another another little quick revisit. So last week I told you something that I think actually is continuing to bother me. I did a program with Alex Jones's son and a podcast last night called Gray Area. We talked about this sort of terrifying nature of this revelation of this thing called prohibited files.

It's my fault. I didn't actually keep track of this. I didn't recognize that there was a thing previously brought up and and I missed it somehow. This was actually brought up in June of last year, and I don't know what I don't know outside of Margo Cleveland at The Federalist, who talked about this concept of prohibited access coding or prohibited access files.

But it's maybe the scariest thing that I've found out since I started doing what we're doing here on this podcast and talking about sort of the behind the scenes of what things mean. And you know what, why our federal law enforcement agencies are not really serving our purposes. This article that she wrote called says the the FBI's ability to disappear evidence calls for transparency.

And underneath it she has this thing that says if the FB is use of prohibited access coding was happening on a widespread basis. The ramification, the ramifications are enormous. I don't think it was happening on like a hugely widespread basis. But I do want to read you and answer some of the questions that are involved in this article, which is now, you know, it's nine months old.

She talks about the prohibited access capability, A coding that that essentially makes things invisible to the average person, to the average FBI agent and user. It allows for sort of an unaccountable, unauditable, non FOIA compliant 4th Amendment violating because if there were exculpatory information, it wouldn't pop up in Sentinel. Sentinel is the record keeping system that you're seeing the Hoover building where apparently the FBI is moved out of and is

now in the Reagan building. But we'll always kind of remember that building as kind of representative of what the the FBI's headquarters looks like, at least for now. It says if Sentinel number of users do not even know that relevant evidence exists, the DOJ cannot possibly provide exculpatory or impeach of an evidence in criminal defendants cases or fulfill their discovery obligations in simple cases.

This stuff that we found out last week has such broad reaching ramifications and it's everything from a criminal defendant might have some exculpatory evidence. The FBI is not is not providing them all the way up into deniable operations on US soil to include include things that look like, you know, Jeffrey Epstein and other access agents doing things that are otherwise illicit, immoral, unconstitutional, and yet they're without oversight.

She mentions here again, this is going back to June of last year. From the scant evidence available today, we know that these concerns are not hypothetical. The documents related to the Trump and Russia collusion investigations were coded prohibited access.

That coding prevented agents in the Washington field office from identifying potentially relevant evidence concerning whether Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Orr lied to Congress about her role of Crossfire Hurricane. We know that there was some other additional issues about Biden corruption, Ukraine, what was or was not relevant or or visible to members of the FBI who actually use this this program, Sentinel.

And then she goes on and she asks a couple of questions here and some of them we actually know the answers to, which she would not have known. You guys are asking in the chat, am I surprised? I'm not surprised that this exists so much as I'm surprised that I didn't know it. And I'm surprised that I didn't know it in June when it was being reported over at The Federalist. So it means I need to open my scope a little bit more broadly. Here's what Margo Cleveland asks.

When was the prohibited access function added to Sentinel? Who added that functionality? Who approved that decision and who was told of that decision? We know some of those answers. In fact, some people have reached out to me and told me that it was built in as functionality from the beginning. So as long as that record keeping system existed, which is that that that digital option, that's how long it's been around. It was baked in and it was probably required as part of the

the coding in the contract. Well, that tells you that there's an FBI that wants to be unaccountable. And we historically learned that this kind of thing could exist. If you go back into the archives, you recognize that the the original founder of the FBI and the real sort of like the impetus for the current FBI could very well be J Edgar Hoover. I mean, the guy who launched it and used it as his own sort of blackmail operation.

If you listen to Mike Waller, who's been on this program, in fact, I highly recommend you go back and listen to our interview with Mike Waller and I may have him on again to reflect on this. Mike Waller said that the capabilities of the FBI under Hoover was that he used blackmail type information. He knew derogatory information on politicians of both sides of the aisle, and he used that to essentially keep the FBI out of the fray. That doesn't mean the FBI didn't

weigh in on politics. It just weighed in on what Hoover thought was this sort of American position. And so that was against communism and against leftism, progressive leftism and some other things. So that was kind of the that was kind of his defense, if you will. The apology for Hoover was he was doing things that most Americans didn't have a problem with. And yet Hoover did operate something that was relatively unaccountable.

And so the the discussion and Steve Friend brought this up over on Friday's show, was that people would rather J Edgar Hoover be sort of in the tent pissing out than standing outside the tent and dismantling all of their sexual proclivities, their their marital infidelities, their financial improprieties and so on. And so they were really cautious about getting on the wrong side

of that man. What's interesting is the person who took over the FBI after Hoover left was a guy named Mark Felt. He was the first deputy director after Hoover's death. Now, some of you guys know that name, and it's going to be really interesting to you when you hear it. You go, oh, that's right.

And some of you don't know that name, but you may know him by the moniker that appeared in the common press, which is that Mark Felt was Deep Throat, the source that gave up all the information on Watergate, which resulted in the removal of President Nixon.

And so you could probably make an argument, and I'm guessing that there probably is evidence if somebody was so intrepid as to go find it, that the FB is political operations continued long beyond J Edgar Hoover and these prohibited access files, which now appear in a system called Sentinel, which is digitized. That used to be the paper files

and likely were the same. It's sort of like a an outgrowth of where Hoover kept paper files in an, in a like a hallway headed to his office where it was his personal little information to check out and wage his own little information wars against anybody that he chose. Most people think that the Hoover FBI left with Hoover, and I think that there's probably some evidence that indicates that the deputy director just continued it on.

You wouldn't get it from a new J Edgar Hoover because that person didn't come up in the Bureau. But there's a reason why every single deputy director has about two decades or more of experience being formed and chosen within that organization. And a lot of them of of late have come out of the the counterintelligence program, the national security apparatus, and have more importantly come out of the New York field office.

So we're dealing with something really scary and this is the failure of the Cash Battelle FBI, the Cash Battelle attempt to reform it and having someone like Dan Vongino step in there that didn't know the organization, didn't even know that these things existed. And I didn't know they existed. And I got friends that spent 1518 years in the Bureau and

didn't know they existed. In fact, I'd say it was a pretty small cadre of people, most people who even thought they did exist, these prohibited access files, they didn't know that they were real, they just heard of them. They were like a legendary thing.

I think a lot of folks have pointed at Chris Ray over the last couple years and acted like he was a bad guy. And I, I think that I've tried to, I think I've tried to put a nuanced point on that on this podcast because we've been calling out FBI directors for as long as I've been doing this program. And I don't think Chris Ray was a bad guy. I think he was exactly what the FBI likes. It was a go along to get along, a person who didn't have to know all the details.

He was happy to live like a billionaire. He defended the Bureau when he needed to. He asked for budget. He was, he was not emotional. He was professional. He wore a suit and he showed up to Congress without information that he didn't need to know about because why would he need to know? Don't read him in. He has plausible deniability. And he always looked like a yes man from those of us that were watching. He looked like a Lifetime movie

coach. You know, the kind of guy that that gives you these, like, mediocre speeches about football when the kid is trying to figure out what's going on in his home life because mom and dad are breaking up. It doesn't make him a good guy, doesn't make him a good person, doesn't make him a hero or a villain. Just means that he's like a classic government bureaucrat and that the real villains were working behind the scenes and

they've always had access. And so Patel unwittingly has given us the best, the best evidence that we should actually destroy this organization and reform it under something else that has none of the intelligence capabilities and cannot have hidden files, can't have unaccountable, unauditable, non oversight, responsive operations that run on the American taxpayers time. And I think this thing may be the scariest piece because for me, the domestic is always more

important. There are things that are threats overseas, but the same domestic organization that has these other things. There's a couple of other little questions I'm going to run through here. Who could mark material prohibited access. From what we understand, it was a program that was run by the deputy director. So that tells you who the number 2 with the FBI and below, a couple of people that are in

that orbit. What standards determine whether the materials classified as prohibited access versus restricted? Again, a deputy director, a senior, senior executive position who must approve these things, who can see the existence of the files that are designated. We found out it's an access roster, so very, very small. In other words, a circle of of small group of people that don't want to share this information. How long are the materials maintained?

Well, if you can't even find out where they are and if they did them properly, you could actually make them disappear when these people retire. So they would actually disappear to the ether and never be accessible. And that's pretty terrifying. What happens if the individuals with prohibited access leave the Bureau? Likely if they didn't actually open it up under the role as their job code and did it under their name, then they're gone and they're no longer accessible.

And can anyone else see the existence? The answer we know is no. Our prohibited access materials ever deleted. It turns out it may be a functionality issue where they may not be deleted, but if you can never access them again, it's like having a Bitcoin in a in a a wallet and then no longer having your access code to unlock it. They're gone forever, can't be hacked. And it's and it's functionally no longer available to anybody. Even if it still exists, consent

will be audited. And the answer we seem like is yes, but only through like brute force. You have to lay out every single case file in order and find the ones that don't show up and then find out who the hell is on those numbers that you don't know. And so all of those are really dangerous. And then, you know, document recovery. So a lot of these questions, and there's dozens of questions that Margo Cleveland asked in this piece, which goes back to again

to June of last year. And I think that it is a really, really good example of what happens when you have unaccountable government doing secret programs, which I think is the reason why we had a church Commission. And people just assume that since it was no longer the CIA doing this, we now would have a, a, a better group that would take care of it. And that we could trust the FBI because they had told everybody that they were trustworthy. And there's really no evidence that's the case.

To be able to apply AI to these classified systems and try to bring this out. It's, it's, it's very difficult. And I'm not even sure that there's a legal way to do it, to introduce this thing in without a lot of risk. So now we have evidence that there's an unaccountable group doing operations that nobody can stop, nobody can audit, nobody can find out what they are. And we put people in that said they were going to fix the problem.

And all they've shown us is that maybe the problem is actually unfixable. Think that's really scary. I think it's worth us considering whether or not in light of that evidence, which again, it was available last year, I just didn't see it. And, and the way that they're talking about it, whether we should really have that honest conversation on whether or not we can do these, do this, do this thing as we've been doing it.

And that's going to actually segue nicely into the discussion about what happened in Austin. Cash Patel over the weekend put out a post in the wake of us going to drop bombs on Iran and said OK guys here's the deal. Our JTTF is going to be operating 24/7 to keep the American people safe. And there are now several people in the United States in Austin, TX who have family members and they are missing those family members forever because the FBI cannot keep you safe.

It's the reason why I recommended the concealed carry option. No government is going to be able to keep you safe without utter and abject tyranny. This goes back to the comments that we made about COVID. It goes out to the discussion of dangerous freedom and that liberty is something that requires a lot of like personal responsibility. If you want to cede your personal safety and the responsibility for that safety to a government, then you are actually accepting a, a blank

check of, of tyranny. In the same way that the the Chinese government was trying to do what they called 0 COVID, right? There was going to be no transmission in order to do 0 COVID. Their solution was what? We just have to eliminate the people. Who have COVID and anybody who could also get it from those people. So why don't we Weld people into their homes? Why don't we lock people down and drag off anybody who shows symptoms? It's kind of the Skynet

solution, guys. This is the way that AI might see the problem. It's like, well, human beings seem like there are, you know, there, there's a lot of threats to people and to our systems and to our government. How could we save everybody? Oh, we could just kill all the people that are threats. That would be all the people.

So if you're not a big fan of the way that the Terminator movies turned out and the fact that we had sort of this tyrannical idea that if you were to take it to its logical conclusion, the threat is freedom, the threat is liberty, the threat, the threat is free will. And, and the concepts that America is sort of based on, you'd have to lock everybody down. Our JTTFS, by the way, were not operating on on 24/7 basis. They were not operating through the night and through the day.

I know that because I have friends who are on the JTTFS and nobody told them that they were operating 24/7. This is just bullshit messaging. So that's where we're going to get. And let's go ahead and cover

that story real quick. This is the the photo of the alleged shooter that took that that came into a bar in Austin, TX and it's really disquieting. First of all, he's wearing a hoodie. If you can't see it, he's a black man, apparently 53 years old, born in Senegal, naturalized citizen. And I went and I pulled a couple of different articles that were that were talking about who this guy is and what's going on. Let's see if we can pull up this one from first CBS. Let's go CBS first.

I'll show you some footage too of of how people responded to it. It turns out if you're out at 2:00 AM and you're drinking, the odds that you're going to make a really good sort of enemy contact situation work better for you. Not very high. You're probably going to act illogically. You're going to act like a lazy drunk person. And I don't think anybody actually took this as seriously as it was. Meanwhile, there were literally shots going off in the bar right next door.

So I've got some footage that there's also also footage that was leaked from inside the bar where people were doing CPR and people bleeding to death. I don't want to show you that because I don't think there's any value other than it's it's disquieting to watch. All right, so here you go. This is CBS News. A gunman who wore property of a LA hoodie during attack had photos of the Iranian leaders at

home, sources say. New photo emerge of this gunman who police say killed two people, wounded fourteen. We got all kinds of different reports by the way, numbers, they went from as low as 2, which we're seeing right now as of this last night to as many as four people. So I don't know how many people were killed, but it, you know, more than one, less than 5 is what they're claiming. 14 people injured or seriously wounded. So we kept that a number of

times. The gunman who was shot and killed by police was wearing a sweatshirt, said property of Allah during the attack. Two sources familiar with the investigation say description matches a photo that they that Fox News got with this individual carrying a long gun. I'll show you. You can't see it here. There's actually a better photo. It shows there's a rifle in his

right hand in this photograph. A little bit further down, there were indicators on the suspect and in his vehicle that suggested there was a potential Nexus to terrorism, said the special agent in charge, acting special agent in charge. I guess that's probably the huge that's San Antonio's field office if they're talking about Austin.

The officials from the FBI executed a search warrant at the gunman's home, found an Iranian flag pictures of Iranian leaders said a source with direct knowledge. They said there was a Quran found in his vehicle. The vehicle also matches the the same vehicle found on Google Earth in front of the residents that he lives in. He said he's a 53 year old. Here's a problem for you that are bacon cheeseburger nationalists. How many of you grew up with Nadiga Nadiaga?

You know how many Nadiagas I knew growing up? Let's take a coffee break to think of all the Nadiagas that we knew when we were children. Oh, there were none. Nobody knew a single Nadiagia. What about a diagne? That was his last name? Nadiaga Diagne. Perfect naturalized citizen, born in Senegal. They think he acted alone. Again, you can't stop these sort of things. This is the whole point that I'd like to make when we start talking about the FBI protecting

you. They're busy doing deniable operations. And at the same time, they can't do the thing that they claim they could do. So we got to ask the question, like, what are we paying $11 billion for? Are we going to be able to stop this stuff? No. Can you investigate and find him after the fact? Yes. Do you guys want to know?

The most disquieting thing about this whole story for me is that this happened on 6th St. in Austin and this guy started shooting and there was a law enforcement response. Not a federal law enforcement, not of FBI agents, but of police officers, because there are always lots of police officers on any given Friday, Saturday night in the Austin, TX area. They're up and down. Kind of like imagine New Orleans during Mardi Gras with a little bit less people but every single

weekend. Police officer responded with 57 seconds warning. There were shots fired and 57 seconds later Austin PD engaged this guy and killed him and he still put 18 people down injured or killed and maybe more. The totals will come out later. The response was under one minute. Now, if there was an armed person in the bar that was coherent and, you know, carrying illegally in that bar illegally under state law in Texas, maybe

that's half the time. Maybe you cut the the number of people that are that are hurt or killed in half. But there's no protection against something like this. You can't stop it. What you could do is you could not have people that are from Senegal in our country. You think this guy's a bacon cheeseburger? Nationalist typed with pictures of the Iranian leader at his home. So we're going to probably see

more stuff like this. For those of you that that do go out to bars and you decide to make a choice that you'd rather stay sober because that's the smart thing to do, I applaud that. For those of you that don't think that concealed carry signs hold weight, you'd rather deal with being able to put someone like this down and protect your family instead of compliance with some paper state law, I applaud that as well. It's your own choice. You guys have to make your own best decisions.

But it reminds me of the meme that says that these are the number of states that you can carry concealed in in the United States if you're not a little B. And little B, of course, is a not particularly nice word for people. I don't seed like I generally either don't go places where I can't carry a weapon system or I don't know what that sign means because I'd much rather have to deal with the consequences of

dealing with a cop later. Talk to a cop after the fact and explain, hey, I know you shot this guy that was trying to kill people with this rifle system, but but you're not allowed to have a gun there. And I'd be like, well, thank God I did. Here's my hands, here's my wrists. Deal with what you got to do for all you guys that think this is a Patsy or all you people that think that this was someone that was like put up to it. We can't rule that stuff out. Will he be on the FB is radar at

some point? Who knows. But we're already seeing some spin from some mainstream outlets. So I do want to cover NB CS version of the story. And then again, we're going to get into the sort of the the Iran war. And this I think is just sort of the domestic end of it. I don't think this will be the end of it. I don't think this will be the last that we see of someone being inspired by this sort of thing.

So just be aware that we're in a time when the world could be, could be more dangerous than it was a few minutes ago. I may or may not be carrying a long gun with my minivan, with my, with my truck when I go out. And it's not because I'm paranoid. I just don't want to find myself in a situation where I'm outgunned and my family is in the crossfire. And is that a little bit

extreme? Maybe, but I'm kind of an extreme guy and I've seen bad things happen and it happened just down the street from me. So it's a little close, as my buddy said, a little close for comfort. There's plenty of illegal aliens or naturalized citizens who have come to this country and do not share our values and are willing to do things because they're motivated by something that happens overseas. It happens all the time. So the question was this person, was he motivated by some sort of

ideology of what was going on? This is my favorite because immediately the left-leaning news is going to try to spin this a bit. The suspect identified in Austin, TX bar that left two dead, 14 injured. The suspect who was fatally shot by officers, Well, guys, he had a history of mental illness, sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News. So I think that begs the question is why are we allowing, bringing, importing, naturalizing, Americanizing people who have a history of

mental illness into our country? I mean, we have plenty of Americans that have mental illness. We have plenty of Americans that are dealing with rough times. Most of them are unlikely to have property of a LA and do a mass shooting in a bar at random. Like they may hurt someone that they know, they may hurt a place that they're familiar with or they feel like has aggrieved

them. It's really, really, really hard to stop someone who is engaged in completely illogical mentally illness, like, like no connection, detached violence. We can find predictors of domestic violence. We can find predictors of inciting incidents where people have decided to come after someone that they know. It's really hard for someone to just choose a target at random and then think that you're going to stop that. And by the way, that reminds me that we started off Donald

Trump's presidency. The first thing that happened at the beginning of the year in 2025 was a similar sort of lone wolf attack, which the FBI also didn't stop in New Orleans. I don't think they can stop it, but I think that we should stop expecting that they will stop it. So here you go. The man suspected of killing two and injuring 14 opened fires on patrons at a bar in Austin, TX

early Sunday morning. This would have been into the night of Saturday with a history of mental illness again giving it a reason. Yes. Nadi Nadiaga Dagani, 53, was a Senegalese national and then naturalized U.S. citizen living in Pflugerville. Pflugerville. I used to live there in the early 2000s. According to four law, law enforcement officials, of course he lived in Pflugerville. That's just a suburb of Austin, guys. It's a suburb where a lot of people are tech workers.

They work for, you know, AMG or AMD, whatever the chip maker is. They work for Dell. It's just a regular suburban American Texas neighborhood with a funny name. At the time of the shooting, he was wearing a sweatshirt. They're going to call that out. Under the underneath the shirt was an Iranian flag themed shirt. So he had property of all law and an Iranian shirt. He was shot and killed by officers shortly after the ranch management. Again, again, 57 seconds is the

reported response time. That's very, very fast. They were indicated that this person had a potential Nexus to terrorism is the same report here. Again, I love that they've just sort of like pushed it off on mental illness though. Here's what we would need. A Homeland Security official told NBC News that Diogenae first entered the United States in March of 2000. He's been here 26 years on AB2 tourist visa, so why was he allowed to be a permanent resident?

He stayed here apparently and became a lawful permanent resident that's a green card holder in 2006 based on a marriage to AUS citizen and became a naturalized citizen in 2003. So there's your process, 13 years for him to come here. He was arrested in 2022 in Texas for a collision with vehicle damage. And that's it. 26 years in the United States. And then suddenly he's decided he's angry about Iran, which apparently we've been at war with forever.

The violence took place as revellers outside of a place called Beaufort. It's a popular beer garden in downtown Austin. It took him by surprise. A video recorded by a bystander catches bursts of gunfire. And people saying, oh, my God, other people trying to Crouch and hide. I actually have that video. I didn't pull it up beforehand, so bear with me. It may be a little bit loud. And let me go ahead and get that

going. So we can kind of get like a little sense of how is it that people respond when something like this happens. I just want you guys to see it and then you guys will have a kind of a sense of people don't respond well because they never thought about it. All right, right. You're seeing someone videoing death and destruction and there's some CPR. This is actually kind of, this is actually not the one I was

going to show you initially. So let me switch this out real quick, but pretty good indication of the chaos that happens in the in the area. Where's my Austin video shooting? Here? It's Austin shooting #1 stand by. Here we go. OK. This is taken from a bar nearby. Look at that woman just wandering. There's ongoing shooting. There's active shooting happening. And this chick is walking around with a beard in her hand and these people are giggling and ducking behind something that

doesn't provide cover. People laying on the ground, just hanging out. This is like a balcony bar. It's like looking down on the street. You're about to see a dude just like sprawl out. He's like, OK. It's been a long day of social media posts, some people running that are exposed. We got law enforcement vehicles. We also found out that one of those, you guys hear the guns still shooting. I'm gonna turn down the audio here. You're gonna see a dude just laid out.

He just chills out on the floor. The crazy part here is that also we had all the things that could possibly go wrong. First of all, you had law enforcement respond as fast as humanly possible in under a minute. That's crazy fast. So that's super impressive. You have idiots like this closing glass doors. You guys know anything about glass doors? You know, they're gonna have to stop rounds.

And then on top of that, they had one of those automatic robot style cabs, the Waymos or whatever they are. It just got lost in the middle of the street and it was blocking emergency responses. So you had Austin, you know, the, the Travis County medical EMS teams, the paramedics and EMTs couldn't actually get through the street because this damn robot car was doing back and forth.

Anyway, I just wanted to show you like when things go wrong, if you've never thought about, hey, what are my exits and what's it look like? What's my situational awareness level? Or are you just completely tuned out? Are you living in the white where the world is safe and if something happens bad, then you're just going to be a victim of whatever circumstances. And I think a lot of people are in that. And you're going to get people answering. Well, the best thing we can do is take guns.

And I'm already seeing some of those calls, including current candidates in the state of Texas who are running for office, like Senate. James Talarico, I think is one of the most dangerous. So I'm going to show you a video from him and then we'll get into the Iran thing. Before we do all of that stuff, let's talk about my buddies over at Patriot Protect. Guys, the website ispatriot-protect.com/K YLE. There's always the external threat and the possibility of somebody trying to you know,

kill you at a bar, I suppose. But the internal threat that we all deal with is that all of our data is out there. So our names, our phone numbers, our e-mail addresses, the the place you work, your family members. If somebody wanted to target you and try to take the money that you had, if they wanted to go out there and steal your title or anything else, the best way to do it is for them to have access to who the heck you are. And every company is using AI

right now. So from TurboTax to Google and Amazon and Microsoft and Meta, Apple, banks, insurance companies, hospitals, credit bureaus, you name it, if you're doing business with somebody, the odds are they're exploding your data with AI. And if you guys think that that is not hackable, you are very wrong.

That means the people that are not bacon cheeseburger nationalist living abroad and even some scumbags that live here, They could be involved in trying to look you up, steal your identity, impersonate you, scam you. They can use AI to spoof your voice to family members. They can take all your public information and use it against you. So the best thing you can do is have it scrubbed off the web. Recommend using the service Patriot Protect. That's the ones that we've been

using. My wife and I just renewed in the last 30 days. I think mine and then hers a little bit afterwards. It's patriot-protect.com/K YLE. You'll save 15% on annual subscriptions to their programs. They're as cheap as under $100 a year, which is not a ton of money to be able to keep yourself out of the pile. The average American suffers about $600.00 of loss from fraud and scam per year on average. But it's usually not one time

each year. It's generally speaking one big bulk amount, and it might be every 10 or 15 years. So if you guys want to eliminate your risk, try to take yourself out of the pile there where these people are targeting. Do so by checking out the folks over at Patriot Protect. And there's a link in today's show description.

All right, let's do, let's do the response from politicians because it's always this kind of piece. And then we'll get into the war effort. And again, I'm going to play you long form. You may not listen anywhere else and many of you may not have the instinct to go out and seek out what Donald Trump actually said, but I think we should listen to it. So let's see if I can find this little clip here of that Goob Tallerico. I downloaded it, so I may have to just pull it up real quick here.

Stand by y'all. James Talarico, I think, is one of the most dangerous types of politicians working at this point. And he's dangerous because the things he says sound utterly reasonable. And they're very appealing to people who are Christians and they are appealing to people who are good human beings. But this is that classic version of using faith or your principles against you and doing so with, with almost no, almost no, no instinct to be really honest about it.

You can tell that this is really disingenuous. I can tell. I want you to kind of listen to this. And you can see the kind of the, the wolf in sheep's clothing sort of attitude that this guy has. And here he is talking about thoughts and prayers. This is always the talking point. And then they always want to go to gun violence or, you know, gun, gun confiscations. I frankly am tired of the thoughts and prayers rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital.

I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands. We prayed and God sent moms from both political parties to advocate in the halls of power

for gun safety. We prayed and God sent lawmakers with common sense gun safety proposals like universal background checks, red flag laws, closing the gun show loophole. As you know, Rev Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead. And so the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act. Well, there's nothing faster than the action of somebody picking up a weapon system as a law enforcement officer and responding in under a minute.

I suppose if somebody was standing there and packing at the time, they could have had a few second response time. But this is what happens if you want to have evil human beings in the world and there are plenty of them. And this is what happens if you leave people without some way to defend themselves and some a hole figures out, oh, where will I find people who are not armed. This is a gun free zone.

Every single time that you go into a bar in Texas, they have what what is called the 51% rule. And the 51% rule is a posted sign. It's done in white with black lettering and a big 51% written in red in the background. And that means that the that this establishment gets more than 51% of its revenue from alcohol sales. And if that's the case, it is explicitly forbidden that you carry a firearm.

I may or may not have ignored those things in my youth when I got out of the military because I've put my hands in bullet holes. I've watched people get shot and or you know when that happens, when you see somebody who's coming in with a gunshot wound, it's not really going to help. Turns out you saw those medics on the ground doing the best they can. When someone gets smoked in a place that you can't respond, especially if they take a rifle round in the chest. All your work.

I've done 40 minutes worth of work on a guy shot in the chest and it doesn't matter. You can even have signs of life and when you get to the hospital, you find out that their heart was split in two. So put your signs up. But that was a gun free zone, as is so often the case for these sort of mass shooting type things. Where would you go if you wanted to find people who are unarmed and not aware? I would go to a bar, I guess, if that's what I was going to look for.

And those signs tell you exactly where they are. It's the same thing as going to a school or a university or some sort of academic place where they're not going to have, you know, people armed. What a bummer. What a bummer to know that you voluntarily made yourself an easier victim and then these guys go after it. And for your, some of them got guy to go out there and talk about the moms demanding action. They're living in a fantasy world where you somehow are going to stop human evil.

And I think that that's a very disingenuous move. But again, he's using the words of Christianity. He's using the values that people might have. It sounds really good and emotional right up until the point where it doesn't actually meet mustard. It's the same as our FBI director telling us that our our FBI is out there working 24/7 to stop terrorism. Every single time we see them arrest somebody under the playbook where they had to set them up in order to get the

arrest. And then on the side, you also find that somebody slips through the safety net, which happens every couple months and it always will because human nature is undefeated. There you go. Laws don't stop bad guys. Thoughts and prayers don't either. Turns out in this case, being prepared, probably not being there in the 1st place and being able to do something about is a big deal. All right, so let's let's get to the wildest story.

The wildest story is that Donald Trump announced that we were going to war after saying that we wasn't going to go to war. And he's essentially said that we can expect this war to last for a little while, maybe 4 weeks to flatten Tehran. And a lot of us are seeing that certain statements have a real eerie parallel when people start giving us estimations on how

long they might take. And we remember a time when Donald Trump said other things that were really a bad idea, like we should shut down this country for a little bit just to get this this stuff under, under wraps again.

I always will see the tyrannical implications of what our government did in 2020 and 2021 on everything else that you make a promise of. Because I know for a fact that we were lied to. Everyone who lived through it knows if you experience the COVID tyranny then you know that our our government and the people that are even feeding the top politicians are giving them bad information. Sounds something like this. When that happened this.

Is the first time this has ever happened and we're working out a tremendous financial package for them so they don't work. Whoever heard of this? Usually you work out a financial package to get people working. We're asking people not to work social distancing. That new term that's become probably the hottest term there is. So no, I'm very honored by the way the American people are are taking this. I mean, it's so serious.

All right, so we're taking it so serious and we're going to deal with this, this new war that has been kicked off. I'll play you the the Donald Trump stuff in just a moment.

Here's the deal. Apparently the authorization falls underneath the 50 USC Chapter 33, which is the War Powers Resolution of 1973. This is the AI grab on it. I wanted to go to the actual document so we can understand under what circumstances the president has the ability to do these things. And I think there's a real argument that is not appropriate policy. This is going to be the purpose and the policy.

So congressional, congressional declaration, they lay out like why they're doing it. They say that this is the the necessary and proper clause. And then they say, what are the president's executive powers as commander in chief? Here's the limitations underneath the statute. And I'm always saying this because the argument is, well, the president has always been able to use the War Powers Resolution Act, War Powers Act, the 1973.

Yeah, but not really. And so the argument gets water, water and, you know, more and more watered down and wider and wider and more and more loose. And I think that's problematic. Here's what it says in Section C. This is again, this is 50 USC 1541 Purpose and policy.

Section C Presidential executive power as commander in chief limitations the the constitutional powers of the President as commander in chief to introduce the United States armed forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to 1A declaration of war. That is not the case in this case. There's no declaration of war. 2 Specific statutory authorizations.

I guess there's more to that. Or three, a national emergency created by attack on the United States and its territories or possessions or its armed forces. This was the wiggle room they used in the Iraq War. This was the wiggle room they used in Afghanistan is that we were imminently involved in a

national emergency. But if you guys listen to our story and the, the interview I did 2 weeks ago or week and a half ago with George Hill and gunboat diplomacy, there is no real, like, there's no argument that Iran represented an imminent threat other than the fact that we'd already introduced troops into a place where they could strike.

And so the smartest mind, you know, the smartest money is that this is about China and the Chinese, the Chinese economic situation, which is that they, we've eliminated the peace in our hemisphere and we're working on, you know, cutting down their oil capabilities. By the way, oil already spiking. So that's kind of interesting. I think I've actually got a story on that here. Let me pull this up here just so you guys understand what the implications are going to be on

the home front. A lot of what Donald Trump campaigned on was affordability. Also, no new wars, which I'll play in a second, but NBC reporting a higher gas prices likely coming at the pump after the oil prices jumped. They've gone from like $65 a a gallon or sorry, $65 a barrel. Let me see if I got the graph here. There it is. This is from Axios.

This is a graph right here showing it was about 7860 in the overseas trading and I watched about a 10% hike in our gas prices and our diesel prices here over the weekend. Many of you guys know, you know, you go out there and you look at your prices, you know what it should be In Texas, we were dealing with our best prices. We're below $3 a gallon for diesel, which is what I'm filling my truck up with. And when I went and filled up, it was 330.

So straight up 10% hike right there and essentially over the weekend and there are places that were as high as 375. I had to find the best deal in town because that's kind of my neurotic thing. But at the best case scenario, it was a 10% hike from the best case when I was buying over the last couple months. That's a lot. That's a lot for most people. We could easily see this go a lot higher, especially if we start seeing disruption.

And that's what war does in the areas that are producing oil. Wanted to go to Axios real quick too and show you guys what Donald Trump likely saw this morning because we're told that he reads Axios first thing in the morning. So here's the Axios front page. And the first piece is about Donald Trump. There's actually kind of a cool graphic shows him with the shadow of a of a rifle round.

So here's here's Donald Trump and then a rifle round is what's projected in the shadow on the wall behind him and it says Trump's lethal presidency. Your multiple headlines here. These are all like the one minute reads is the Iranian conflict escalates. 4 service members now have been confirmed killed. I've got the the press release coming from CENTCOM as well. I'm kind of monitoring that. But we've lost four Americans in some capacity.

We've also lost to several fighter jets because apparently we had a friendly fire incident in Kuwait where our missile systems targeted our F fifteens and knocked down 3 for them. The pilots had to evacuate or had to eject out. So that's terrible. Your story #3 is Iran attack on Saudi refinery pushes up oil prices. So they're going to go after proxies. It's not going to just be going after American war targets. The Iranians will strike out at everything.

GOP is worried about a Senate primary. John Cornyn is dealing with a primary challenge and Ken Paxton. And then you have two Democrats that are playing out. Jasmine Crockett wants to be a senator in Texas. And that James Talarico, I played you earlier. So you can see that ends up being kind of a national story. And then lastly, Iran strikes.

They have injected chaos into various Democrat primaries because they're going to have to talk about war and their positions on it and so on and so forth.

There's another really interesting little piece in here that I thought was worth covering. It's right here. I had to go find this this morning the the 19 sorry, the the 2002 mentality. I told you that I've been hearing Toby Keith. You guys remember if we saw the Cash Patel story where he was hanging out with the US guys, the hockey team in Italy and they're playing a they're playing a Toby Keith song.

And then the country music sensation girlfriend, also a Toby Keith song that she did same exact Toby Keith song talking about brought to you courtesy of the red, white and blue. That was a early G Watt kind of mentality where Americans were really excited about going to war. They were excited about getting revenge on people that took down buildings in New York City. They were, you know, kind of bought into the entirety of let's go out there and get the evil people that did bad things

to this nation. You can't show up and do something to us. We're going to break a boot off in your ass kind of thing. A lot of young men my age at the time, you know, I was 19 when the towers went down. A lot of us looked around and were like, how do I get into this? I had friends that quit college and went to war. Some of you did as well. There's an interesting little phenomenon, and this is done by

presidencypresidency.ucsb.edu. I'll put this in the the YouTube and the Rumble comments you guys will be able to find. This as a reference goes back to 1934 and it talks about what sort of seats were gained or lost in the House and Senate at the midterms and in recent memory, basically nobody has been able to hold on to both houses if they had them when they were elected president, with one exception. And that one exception is right here.

The only person that actually gained ground in that in that time frame put on the screen is George W Bush in 2002. This was directly after. So September 11th, 2001, you got about a year and that campaign season stepped up and in in 2002, George W Bush, Republican, managed to pick up 8 seats in the House and two more in the Senate despite already having control. The GOP already had the House and the Senate at that time and that's the last time it's

happened. And every president since then. Bush when he was a lame duck, didn't have that experience. He lost 30 in the House and lost six. You can see here Barack Obama in 2010. That was a turnover of 63 and 6 in Barack Obama's second term, 13 and 9 again lost, lost ground. Donald Trump lost ground, picked up some in the Senate, but lost 40 in the House. And then Biden, same thing, nine and one. So nobody ends up really benefiting in both the House and the Senate except in the

instances of a new war. And that might be the most cynical talking point that can come up. But if this is what that was about, it's really, it's really, really dark stuff. And here's why people are saying that. So Donald Trump, two weeks to flatten the spread, two weeks to flatten the curve, all this kind

of thing. Here's JD Vance's vice president. This is the problem. There's unlimited amounts of clips of these guys saying exactly the opposite. And I'm going to play some of those. So you at least know what the argument, people who are saying that this is a bad idea, they're they're quoting the words of the people that are currently in office. So here you have it. JD Vance is giving you the argument why we're going to be here, why we're going to be doing this and that it's only

going to take a couple weeks. This is kind of like 4 weeks to flatten Tehran. If that turns out to be the case, I think many of us will actually be pretty shocked. But here's the argument. I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern. But the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents, and now we have a president who actually knows how to accomplish America's national security

objectives. So this is not going to be some long drawn out thing we've got in. We've done the job of setting their nuclear program back. We're going to now work to permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years. And that is what the president has set out to do. Simple principle. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon that has animated American policy over the past 130 days.

It's going to continue to be a driving force of our policy in the Middle East for the next 3 1/2 years. So that was actually argument being made when not, not yesterday, not this weekend, but after we quote, UN quote, obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. Obliterated was their words. And then you have people making discussions. Well, how do you, how do you fix something that's been obliterated? Well, how do you fix your legs if they've been shattered?

Well, it turns out they're not actually shattered if you're going to fix them. Because if you shatter somebody's leg, and some of us have seen it, if you see what a shattered leg looks like where there's nothing there to put back together, they have to give you artificial legs. And it takes a while. Anyway. The problem is, is that all the members of the cabinet have said the opposite. And then also Donald Trump said something which is going to be thrown back in his face.

And it was probably just a little joke. But The funny thing about jokes are sometimes they tell a little bit of truth, and they tell a little bit about way people think about problems. And this is not a good joke. This is back when Zielinski was visiting the White House. And this is one of those moments where you watch it. And today you can't help but cringe when you hear Donald Trump joking about wouldn't it be nice to not have elections?

And I didn't say it, he did. So this is going to be thrown in his face. These are his words. This is the danger of being in a time where we have access to the Internet. You can run the AI and ask for clips of things that people have said, even if they were done in a sarcastic or joking manner. When you're sitting next to this kind of tin pot looking dictator guy, it actually kind of hits a little bit differently for folks.

And I think this is going to be thrown back in Donald Trump's face for a while now, unfortunately, upon peace, God willing, we get peace. Are you open to holding an election in your country? Yes, of course we are open. For election, yes, we have to do safety circumstances and a little bit we need to work in the parliament because during the war you can't have elections. But we can, we can do security. We need maybe how to say we need

a truth. Yes, everywhere in the battlefield, in the sky and the sea. Yeah. To make possible for people to, to, to do democratic, open, legal, legal elections. So you say during during the war, you can't have elections. So let me just say 3 1/2 years from now. So you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, understood. I wonder. What the I wonder what the fake you like this idea? Speaking of news.

I got a question. Yeah. It's not a great joke to be making, right? Especially when here you are saying that a year ago and now here we are sitting and I've kept it. There's the 20 core promises in the top ten, prevent World War three, restore peace in in Europe and in the Middle East. Do the thing you said. It's problematic.

And I'm going to show you how many times Donald Trump mentioned these kind of things, not just on the campaign trail, but before, even as a guy who would prior to being a candidate. Here's the New York Times coverage says, Donald Trump says that the war could last weeks could offer contradictory visions of the new regime. In a brief interview, he said that the country's hardened military should simply surrender their weapons to the Iranian people. Pretty much guarantee that's not

going to happen. Also, again, we're going to increase some of the some of the threats to the nation here. I think Austin is probably the kickoff of what that looks like. I do I think it's going to be widespread, probably not. But the possibility of sort of rolling sketchy interactions, lone wolf actors, sleeper cells, whatever may want to activate. And then of course, the Iranian cyber capabilities are decent.

So if they plus the Chinese want to go and play havoc with a lot of the stuff we have the the crazy thing about cyber, which George Hill brought up on our, our our interview a couple weeks ago, two weeks ago, was that they're deniable. So you don't even know who would necessarily do it.

Could be China doing it. And then the footprints or fingerprints look like Iran. And they've got plausible cover for doing so. In any case, Donald Trump said on Sunday, that was yesterday, that the United States military intends to sustain its assault on Iran for four to five weeks, if necessary, insisting that it won't be difficult for Israel and the United States to maintain the intensity of the battle even as he warned the possibility of more American

casualties. It was a brief phone interview that they did. None of that is particularly great because this is the stuff that Donald Trump said before. Want to squander all of America's strength, blood and treasure chasing monsters and phantoms overseas? In addition, there must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad.

We should have never got into the Middle East. We should have never got into the Middle East. Under my leadership, we will turn the page forever. One of those foolish, stupid days of never ending wars. We're rebuilding our military stronger than ever before endless wars. World War 3 has never been closer than it is right now. We need to clean House of all of the war mongers and America last globalist in the deep state. I am the president who delivers peace.

I was the 1st president in decades who didn't start a war. And the worst, most incompetent, most corrupt president in history is going to drag us into World War Three. And this horrible, horrible president is dragging us toward World War three. We're going to be in World War Three soon. Because I think we would have been good with Iran. I don't want to do anything bad to Iran. Large sections of the Middle East. I mean, look at the death and

destruction that's taking place. And none of this would have happened to our president. Our opponents join with war mongers and neocons to wage endless wars, these wars that never end. Together we're fighting to secure our borders and the endless foreign wars and defend the working people of America. But the Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan and across the country want a stop to the endless wars that are returned to peace in the Middle East.

That's all they want. Speaking of World War three, I'll keep you out of World War Three. What would happen if we had a war? We won't with me, but you will have World War Three, I believe, without me, but we won't have. I will be sure that World War 3 will not happen. I'm the only one can say it won't happen. But I stand here today and I'm the only candidate who can make this promise. I will prevent and very easily World War Three, very easily.

So there you have it. It's not just going to be threats to people who are directly in that theater. We already had a consulate in Pakistan. There was an attempted overrun. Sounds like 2322 people were shot and killed trying to take over the Marine Guard did what they're supposed to do. So good on them. Way to go, Marines. But also it just lets you know that every US, you know, embassy, every U.S. consulate is a potential attack point overseas.

So all of them have to beef up and deal with now being under threat. And of course, the American people, who knows who the hell we let in. So that is not Donald Trump's fault. But the problem is, is that you may trigger a lot of these people. We've had this conversation. We had Sarah Adams on here before. We did an entire discussion about law enforcement response to terrorism events and that most law enforcement agencies are woefully underprepared because they just don't have the

budget. They don't have the time or the training. They haven't ever like, war games it out. When you bring in 152030 million people over a border without knowing who they are, the odds of them attacking you while they're still having an open ingress route into the United States is very, very low. So Donald Trump's sort of priority #1 shut down the border. All that does is close the door behind the people that comes in. And that's great.

That's why we needed the biggest deportation effort. And in theory, we would need really aggressive investigations of who these these people are that came in here. So let's lay it at Biden's feet for the people that came in. Let's be aware of it, but the problem is if you're going to go out and kick off a war, which could be an inciting event for all these people that are like, OK, that's the, you know, that's the dead man trigger. Now we go to work.

Some of them are going to be radicalized by American freedom and they won't do anything. There's no question in my mind that people come here with one idea. They experience American liberty. They get to see pretty women that are not wearing veils. They get to go to a mall and buy a corn dog or whatever the hell people go do that makes them look around and go like, man, this place is pretty good. It's way better than what I thought it was going to be. I'm not mad at these people.

In fact, that kind of want to be one of them. That definitely happens, which is why we deal with a far less like number. But there are some people that come here and they turn exactly the opposite way and they get more and more incensed and grossed out and angered and they see whatever they think is discriminatory and they're sort of in their little confirmation bias. And those people are going to be dangerous and you're not going

to be able to root them all out. Again, there are many, many examples. If you go out there and find out was on the radar of the Bureau, was on the radar of local law enforcement, had mental illness, came here, came here illegally, but then was able to somehow like Juke the system and stick around. And now they have legally owned weapons going doing dumb things because suddenly they're activated because we have a problem that that was not necessary. I do think it's a problem that's

not necessary. In fact, when Trump was in the the original debates with Jeb Bush and others, he said the same thing. This is a consistent Donald Trump message. And so he's going to have this thrown in his face over and over and over again. I just want you to see what it is. And then I'll show you what he said. And it's long. Like his first address was something like 6 or 8 minutes. The other one's about the same. We're going to play all of it because I think it's relevant.

But first, I'm giving you kind of the setup. And you're also going to see lefties that are going to be taking stuff from the members of today's cabinet. Remember, Donald Trump grabbed a bunch of Democrats, recruited them in the Tulsi Gabbard, the RF KS, and they all spoke about this in a big way, but so did Trump himself. The. War in Iraq, we spent $2 trillion, thousands of lives. We don't even have it. Iran is taking over Iraq with the second largest oil reserves

in the world. Obviously it was a mistake. So George Bush made a mistake. We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty. We should have never been in Iraq. We have destabilized the middle. East but so you so I mean so you still think he should be in peace. I think it's my turn and. You do whatever you want. You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you they lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew

there were none. There were no weapons of mass. OK. All right, also just look at the energy. And it's not by any fault of his own. That's just what time and and age does to anybody. But look at the energy. Look at the clarity of thought. Look at the the preciseness of his speech when he's doing those debates back then. I mean, he was fired up and he's a different man today, whether you guys like it or not. That's pretty obvious to those

watching on the outside. If you're being honest about it. Donald Trump is not as sharp, as aggressive, as principled as he sounded like when he was running for office the first time around. And that's not being mean about it. And again, I think he was still a 90s Democrat then. So, you know, one way or another, like, kudos for that. But ten years is a long time and 10 years is a long time when you're in your 70s.

And for those of you who have watched people age, and I used to work in a in a field where I saw people in memory care, they'd go from being, you know, looking at you and telling you about their family and the life that they lived. And I'd watch them go in six months and they would fall off the Cliff where they were no longer even verbal. And they were just sitting there with, like, tears running down their eyes because they could no longer run their eyelids.

And it's atrocious to watch when, you know, it's just the hardest thing in the world to watch somebody age in a way that's really fast. But just saying that was a big change. All right, if you guys are watching this program, you haven't hit the like over on Rumble. Please do that. Like us on YouTube, we had a really good performance on the the YouTube video over the weekend. So I appreciate you guys doing that. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't.

If you're on Rumble and you're watching and you're like, hey, how come your audio is screwy? How come things keep stalling? How come I have all these problems? And then how come you keep watching over on Rumble? I don't know why you guys keep doing it. I like, I appreciate that Rumble gave us an opportunity when

YouTube didn't. But when it comes to infrastructure and the capabilities, YouTube's letting us run a channel and we're able to say whatever we want and nobody has stopped us. So if you guys want at least have a backup channel, you should do so over on YouTube. And I just realized the best feature that YouTube has of all of them because the reason people come to our Rumble channel is the chat chat. You guys know that I'm right

about this. You guys are the reason why we love Rumble. And if you watch the Rumble chat, it is full of names and faces that I recognize, some of whom I met in real life. And some of you guys are just out there and you're just a voice to me that calls in on a call in program. But I, I very much appreciate all of you doing that. The neatest thing for me about the YouTube replay is after we're done on YouTube, it saves

the chat. And so if you want to go back and watch the show and see what the conversation was like, I think that's really, really neat for me. Like watching the, the, the sub discussion that goes on on the replay on YouTube. As I go back and look into your comments, 'cause somebody will time stamp something. I'll look and I'll see what were people talking about and what hit and what their thoughts were.

It's really neat. So the chat is preserved over on on on YouTube. If you guys are interested, if you want to be able to have your chat log kept in one place, it's a cool feature to be able to see that after the fact. I think it's really neat to be able to see what was the concurrent discussion. Now you guys don't like YouTube, that's fine. YouTube still has a better platform when it comes to the infrastructure. So I'm just letting you guys know that's that's the

difficulty. Otherwise, you know, just keep complaining about how rumble does dumb things and it does. It's really frustrating and they lose signal and they certainly censor us. I went and found, for whatever it's worth, I went and found a channel that's bigger than my channel and gets 1/4 of the views that our channel gets. We have a significantly more aggressive channel for the size of our channel on on Rumble. And it's all because Rumble

suppresses what we're doing. And they can act like they don't, but I know they they don't actually ever let us compete fairly. So if you guys are worried about, well, like, you know, rumbles about free speech and YouTube's a bunch of jerks, it's like everybody's a bunch of jerks. Guys, let's be realistic. All right, a couple more interesting videos as we get in here. This one I think is also

probably pretty damning. Guys, how many of you are a big fan of John Bolton and or John Bolton's mustache? The same guy that was arrested by Donald Trump's administration right by Kash Patel's FBI for classified documents. You remember that, But he doesn't seem all that humbled. He doesn't seem all that worried. Here's CNN interviewing him. John Bolton is psyched about this, this war, so is Lindsey Graham.

So when we talk about the war boners that are throbbing in this administration and people that are, you know, advisers and close to Donald Trump, look at the people that are happy and look at the people that are frustrated. For those of you that are like, this is what I voted for. I voted for war in Iran. Did you though? Did you vote for what this guy likes? Here's John Bolton saying, I wish I could have convinced him of this sooner. We know, man, that's the whole

point. I know you support these strikes, but obviously there's going to be a lot of the president's supporters and, and people in the United States who listen to what he said on the campaign trail and certainly what he said in his first term and say, you know, this is the president who said he was against regime change in the Middle East, that he was against starting new wars. What do you make of of what would you say to them tonight?

Well, I think they made the mistake of believing that Donald Trump had a consistent philosophy, national security strategy and policy, which he doesn't. My only regret is that I wasn't persuasive enough in the first term to get to this point. In terms of the regime change that the president is calling for. I mean, we have no idea right now what is the status of Iran's supreme leader. But I think a key question is what would happen next if he is ultimately killed in this

attack? Well, I think at this point, really, the Revolutionary Guard is the governing force in Iran. And, and that's the that's the element of state power that needs to be destroyed. Yeah, I think that the division of Labor between Israel and the United States makes a lot of sense. But I think the real unknown question at this point is how much we and the Israelis have

coordinated with the opposition. What we need for the Iranians themselves to be doing is looking for weak links in the leadership, looking for the tensions and the fractures and the divisions that can pull the regime apart at the top and bring significant elements over to the side of the opposition. So that terrific. Great.

And now, obviously, that was taped and that interview happened before we found out that the Ayatollah had been killed. So here's Fox News breaking that story over the weekend for us at this hour. Trey. Yes, Sandra, we just got this in literally 2 minutes ago. But Fox News can confirm that Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, is dead.

Also just to note, Trey, the chief foreign correspondent is broadcasting from Tel Aviv, Israel for this following Israeli strikes against his compound and location earlier today. A senior Israeli official confirming this news earlier tonight. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describing the strikes not only against the supreme leader but against much of the Iranian leadership. Cool. So lots of Fox News audience, people super excited about this.

They're cheering on their team. They really love it. And maybe you could get the cheerleader in chief. What's Dan Bongino think about this? You think he's psyched? You think that he's got any sort of consistency and thinks that it's OK that people point out that the cabinet used to not be behind this? No, you're just a doomer and you suck. Well, it's incredible how the Dumors Laura hasn't even been 24 hours. It's happened at 3:00 AM.

It's not 3:00 AM Eastern Time. Can you give, can you give the man a chance to cook a little bit? I mean, he's, he just deposed and decapitated the entire upper level infrastructure of the Iranian death to America regime. Maybe give the guy 5 minutes before you're ready crapping on everything he did. I mean, who else has been able to do this? If it doesn't work out over time, there'll be a bunch papers and a bunch of talking heads I'm sure who will RIP it apart. It's been 24 hours.

Give the guy a chance. Where has he been proven wrong in the past? I thought World War 3 was going to break out after the Abraham of hammer cards and after he moved the embassy and after he got Maduro. What? None of that happened. Give the guy a chance. He knows what he's doing. He's surrounded himself with more than competent people. Give it a chance. It's only it's not even been 20. 4 hours yet. Great points, Great points,

great energy. Nothing, nothing like seeing Dan Bongino back in his most comfortable role, cheerleading Republicans, acting like he wasn't out there in the FBI theoretically trying to go after, I don't know, pedophiles, right? Sort of nice to see that he cares about something. And that's something that turns out is the defense of Israel. So this is Operation Epic Fury and it is amazing simply because 'cause that is dearest to Dan Bongino's heart is being fulfilled.

That's good to know. And again, I never saw that energy the entire time he was at the FBII never saw it when he was doing the things that he was supposed to be doing domestically. Apparently Dan's just really big on foreign policy. I didn't realize that. Here's the thing, the Cabinet didn't agree with you. The the cabinet thought this was a bad plan right up until now.

Everybody has to reverse course. And so watching people do 100%, you know, 180 turn that U-turn and act like they didn't say the thing that they said just a couple of months ago, it's problematic. Here's JD Vance in in December. I'm sorry, this is October of 2024. So this was just before the election. You know, like those campaign promises, they're so pesky. But America's interest is sometimes going to be distinct.

Like sometimes we're going to have overlapping interests and sometimes we're going to have distinct interests. And our interest I think very much is in not going to war with Iran, right? It would be huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country. Oh, good. All right. So but you know, whose position has never changed other than John Bolton's is Lindsey Graham here is a throbbing war boner on what is this NBC News letting

you know? He also said that we should not just be satisfied with this, but we should also probably depose the the regime in Cuba their next and anybody else that that also might be interesting because war is war and he just wants to bathe in the blood of young men. We've got 4 that are dead so far. So Lindsey Graham is probably absolutely pulsing right now. No Viagra needed. Here we go moving forward. In a social media post Sunday, President Trump wrote this

quote. Hopefully the IRGC and police will peacefully merge with the Iranian patriots and work together as a unit to bring back the country to the greatness it deserves. Is hope the plan for the future of Iran? No, the future of Iran is going to be determined by the Iranian people, the new Iran, whatever

it is for this, a cleric or or a representative democracy, our goal is to make sure it cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism. That's a win for us. But is, is there a, is there a plan to make sure that happens, Senator, is there a plan? Does the president have a plan to guarantee that that happens? No, it's not his job or my job to do this. How many times do I have to tell

you? Our job is to make sure Iran is no longer the largest state sponsor of terrorism, to help the people reconstruct a new government. No boots on the ground. We don't own. You know this idea. You break it, you own it. I don't buy that one dip. It's in America's interest to make sure the Ayatollah is dead. He's dead. All right. Roger that. So just so we're clear, Lindsey Graham has been read in maybe and at least has something to say about this.

We have no plan for him. I I hope that's not true. And we have no role in trying to create power vacuums and then be responsible for what comes out of them. I don't know. I think ISIS is calling maybe something to that effect. So that's kind of unsettling. Here's kind of a more sober look. This was on Bannon's war room talking about what it's going to actually involve. I think that the cynical thought is that this leads to a midterm victory.

There's a really good chance this actually involves a massive hemorrhaging of support for people that actually did show up and cross the aisle and did want the anti war types. And we're excited about RFK and we're excited about Tulsi Gabbard being there and having these people that were all saying the same thing, including JD Vance and Donald Trump, about not getting involved in this stuff.

Anyhow, here is, I think, maybe one of the more sobering analysis that it's going to be a slog and that it probably is not going to be quick and that four weeks to to level Tehran is not going to be enough. But again, this isn't going to be over tomorrow. I pray it will be, but I don't think we should expect that. Will we take more casualties? I'm mourn the loss of three American servicemen as much as anybody, but this is essentially cost free to us at this point.

Will there be more losses? You saw Rabbi Awlaki talking about them in Israel. Of course there will. Should we be operating on any basis other than this is likely to be a slog, a hard slog. But the fight is, is incalculably important because if we do in fact render A decisive defeat of Sharia supremacism in Iran, it will help us with all of the other places.

If we do in fact have control, effective control of China's lifeline, its energy import lifeline between Venezuela and and Iran, we have a leverage on them about Taiwan and everything else they have in mind. I I haven't had until now and I'm glad we're doing this in the war room. It's one of the reasons we're doing it seven days a week and we're get all the different voices in here to make sure the war in posse can think this through.

But I'm just going to be brutally frank if it's going to be a hard slog. I mean, that was not pitched in the 2024 campaign. It just wasn't. We are going to bleed support. We just, we're going to bleed.

Here are the steps that Donald Trump has taken to create a war with Iran. First, he tore up the Iran nuclear agreement. I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. Second, he has escalated crippling sanctions against Iran. Sanctions kicking in at midnight Sunday target Iran's oil exports, banking and chip, even though UN inspectors say Iran is still complying with the nuclear

deal. United States will pursue additional sanctions tougher than ever before. Third, he designated Iran's military as a terrorist organization. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced that the US is designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terror group today. the United States, all right. And there's been all kinds of different videos put out, statements made. There's captured, there's there's captured evidence of people inside Trump's own cabinet and and some of his

senior advisors. That was Tulsi Gabbard when she was running for president, going back to 2019-2020. All these people have evidence of being on the other side of this. So it's going to be difficult for them to go out there and say the, oh, well, I just meant the opposite at this point. And so you got it. You got a, you got an uphill battle at least convincing the American people. And I don't think it gets any better when you're doing little hits like this.

This is the the exiled Crown Prince. So the former monarchy in in Iran is going out and making basically claims like you're going to lose American lives. Now we're up to four, and we've got many others that have been injured. And we're going to do so. But it's going to result in a trillion dollars in open market capabilities if Iran is now friendly to the United States. So in other words, pick me, let me be installed in is what he's

making the argument. And put my family back in as a monarchy because that's where we used to be. And then, yeah, then it'll be really good for Americans and businesses. I'm, I'm not 100% sure that that's a really strong hitting message for regular bacon cheeseburger Americans who are looking at their, their price of oil going up that are wondering like how many freaking terrorists are running around in the US?

We don't have the mass deportations and we're going to just try to what confuse us and and distract us with a foreign war, which I'm pretty sure is what he said he opted of.

Economic growth and what have you, just by a change that we hope to bring to the table that will be probably over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy just by Iran's market being open to to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran. Great. So it's a business opportunity that sounds really good. I guess we're all really into that.

All right, so let's do it this, Let's just open up and give you the opportunity here with Donald Trump said in his own words. If you guys did not listen to these, then now is the time that you'll hear them. And if you did listen to them and you want to tune out, by all means, I appreciate you guys listening up to the point. So make sure you guys are giving us a like over on Rumble. Give us a like on YouTube.

I'm going to give the man his fair shake and it's a big long chunk of it. But the upside of getting it in the audio format after the fact, if you guys want to go Fast forward and listen to 2X whatever, you certainly can make sure you're supporting the program on Spotify. Easiest way to do it is kyleseraphinshow.com. You'll get chapters, you'll be able to line this stuff and send

it to a friend if you like. And you can find the new program we're doing called the I'm Your Tackleberry, the Tackleberry project. And I'm getting some of the the videos cut for that as well. It took me a while to figure out how to actually export stuff from my cameras, as dumb as that sounds, but that's what was holding me up. So those are working right now. All right, let's do Donald Trump in his own words. This is the the 2:00 AM address

that was mentioned previously. And again, if you wanted to, if you're listening in the audio after the fact or if you're watching on Spotify video and you want to like Fast forward this thing, this mean you can make it fast. But this is a long form address of him telling you what happened and why it happened. And then I've got another one. That's the update, which I'll give you that, which he just released as well. So here is a lot of Donald Trump coming up in the next like 15 minutes.

A. Short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people. It's menacing activities, directly in danger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and

waged. An unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United states, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries. Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days. In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American military personnel in 2000.

They knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Cole. Many died. Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American servicemembers in Iraq. The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years, as well as US naval and commercial vessels in international shipping lanes. It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any

longer. From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts. And it was Iran's proxy Hamas that launched the monstrous October 7th attacks on Israel, slaughtering more than 1000 innocent people, including 46 Americans, while taking twelve of our citizens hostage. It was brutal, something like

the world has never seen before. Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror and just recently killed 10s of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested. It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again. They can never have a nuclear weapon.

That is why, in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we obliterated the regime's nuclear program at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. After that attack, we warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons, and we sought repeatedly to make a deal. We tried. They wanted to do it. They didn't want to do it again. They wanted to do it. They didn't want to do it. They didn't know what was happening. They just wanted to practice evil. But Iran refused, just as it has

for decades and decades. They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions. And we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long rage missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe, our troops stationed overseas and could soon reach the American homeland.

Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again

obliterated. We're going to annihilate their Navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces and no longer use their IE, DS or roadside bombs, as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear

weapon. This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces. I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration, and there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength or sophistication. My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to US personnel in the region. Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian

regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war, but we're doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future, and it is a noble mission. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear armed Iran.

We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way, and we trust that with His help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail. We have the greatest in the world, and they will prevail. To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces, and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative, face certain death.

So lay down your arms. You will be treated fairly, with total immunity, or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.

For many years you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.

May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces, May God bless the United States of America, May God bless you all. Thank you all.

Right. The reason I wanted to play that in its entirety and why I'm going to give his update in its entirety is because this was kicked off at 2:00 AM to what is obviously an empty room with the president of the United States wearing a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes, standing there in a suit with no tie on. And he just gave you a canned statement about why we're doing what we're doing.

And none of that sounds like the Donald Trump that we heard during the campaign trail or some of the other things I'm seeing people revisionist history all over the place on on the social media places where you see these pundits and talking heads and all of the people that previously were 100% like he's the president of no war. I'm the president, you know, I'm backing the president for no new wars. That's what I'm about.

Isn't that what you love? Now they're all flipped on their head, including guys like Sean Davis at the Federalist. I went and found like he was saying that there until you finish the, the domestic agenda in the United States, deported the people that needed deported, fix the criminal problems, you know, sort of worked on the domestic agenda of economy and so on. And so you've solved the problems that you've you've bitten off. Like why in the hell do we need to go get ourselves entangled

overseas? This is not an imminent threat to the United States and it's not. And we covered that with George Hill the other day. The only real strong argument is that you're making a strong statement against China, in which case it'd be interesting if they said it, but they're never going to do that. So there's also even people including the new Charlie Kirk show, which is bizarre. I was never a Charlie Kirk show

listener. I think real America's Voice and OANN and all these sort of like sub sub Fox News wannabes, they're, they're all pretty bad and they're all like lapping propagandists that are just willing to say whatever. Like, as long as you're saying what the regime wants, then you're going to get access to people from the administration

to come in and do interviews. But the new Charlie Kirk show said, even though Charlie Kirk didn't favor a war in Iran, if Donald Trump went to war in Iran, he would back it. That's a hell of a claim. And I wanted to just put that in his own words. And I'm going to give you the update that that Trump gave, I guess, yesterday as well.

So let's do this. This short little clip from Charlie Kirk when he was talking about this kind of stuff, you know, like the problem with the power vacuum that Lindsey Graham was mentioning going to take out the Ayatollah. Oh, really? What comes next? What comes after regime change might be, Oh well, we need a small number of U.S. troops that support the new regime. We have seen this play before regime change. You have no idea how this is going to work out.

You have no idea. And that's pretty much the way that it's done every single time. When I was talking to George, not last Friday, but the one before, the question was, is there a golden shining example? I went back and rewatched the interview because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. Is there a golden shining example of the regime change that we are trying to model on? Yeah, We have a lot of failures.

Yeah. Whenever we try to go do this, it doesn't usually work out very well. There's a lot of examples that people can think of where you depose or do a decapitation strike on a foreign government. What is the goal of like, hey, this is what we want to achieve. Yeah. We don't always get that. But this is like, this is the premium sort of performance mechanism. How do we. How do we yardstick it? And George couldn't come up with

1 and I couldn't either. But if you have one, if the United States has ever done a perfect textbook, this is what we are hoping to achieve, regime change operation. Will you please put in the comments so that I can kind of get a look at what that looks like? And is it in the last 100 years? Is it in the last, like, I don't know life? Is there anybody alive that was involved in that that could point to it or not?

So that's my question. I'm going to finish with Donald Trump's update, which I'm going to give you. Also, you guys are seeing on the screen live update won't rule out ground troops at this point. That's the new thing that's been pushed out. Confirms that there have been 4 troops killed so far. We don't know who the service members are, but I'm sure their family members do.

And we've lost a couple of aircraft that said com confirmed as of this morning from a quote UN quote friendly fire incident over Kuwait. So there are casualties. There will be more casualties. This is obviously going to happen. Americans are going to have to decide whether or not that's the distraction they were hoping for in the midterms. I really hope that that's not

what this was about. This is Donald Trump's update and then we'll we'll wrap up the program. Again, I'm putting it out there for you guys to be able to hear it because you may not listen to it in another format. It's not conducive in some other ways, but it's available to you in this podcast. And more importantly, if you're listening after the fact, you can do it faster so you can control the speed. And, and I hope some of you probably will because he's he's definitely methodical and a

little bit slow in the delivery. So here's Donald Trump's update on the situation in Iran. Over the past 36 hours, the United States and its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury, one of the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen. Nobody's seen anything like it. We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, Iranian air

defense systems. Just now was announced that we knocked out nine ships plus their naval building, all in a matter of literally minutes. Iran's formerly Supreme Leader,

Ayatollah Khamenei is dead. This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries last night, all over Iran, the voices of the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating in the streets when his death was announced. The entire military command is gone as well, and many of them want to surrender into saving

their lives. They want immunity. They're calling by the thousands. Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives. They could have done something two weeks ago, but they just couldn't get there. Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S. military service members have been killed in action.

As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more, but we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case.

But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against, basically, civilization. They have waged war against civilization itself. Our resolve, and likewise that of Israel, has never been stronger. America is now again the richest, most powerful nation in the world by far. But the only reason we enjoy the quality of life that we do and the freedom and security is we have done things that others are unable to do.

But it's because of warriors who are willing to lay down their lives to do battle with our enemies, and they do battle better than anybody. An Iranian regime armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons would be a dire threat to every American. We cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons would allow them to extort the world to their evil. Will that kind of let it happen? We're not happening to us, and

we're not going to let it happen to others. the United States has the strongest military the world has ever seen. I rebuilt our military in my first term. There's never been a military like we possess, and frankly, there's nobody even close. But we are now using that military for good. We want to have it for good

purpose. We're undertaking this massive operation not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their children, just as our ancestors have done for us many, many years ago. This is the duty and the burden of a free people. These actions are right and they are necessary to ensure that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of

threats. For almost 50 years, these wicked extremists have been attacking the United States while chanting the slogan Death to America or death to Israel or both. They are the world's number one state sponsor of terror. We are the world's greatest and most powerful nation, so we can do something about what they do. These intolerable threats will not continue any longer. I once again urge the Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian military police, to lay down your arms and receive full

immunity or face certain death. It will be certain. Death won't be pretty. I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom to seize this moment, to be brave, Be bold, be heroic, and take back your country. America is with you. I made a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise. The rest will be up to you, but we'll be there to help. Thank you. God bless you to our incredible warriors, and God bless the United States of America. Thank you all.

Right. So that's it. That's what he has to say. He's doing it for the kids, not his kid going to be there. Right. You guys are pointing that out. When's Baron going to enlist? Obviously not as is the same for a lot of these other people that are been getting really ramped up about it. So I guess we'll just see what happens. I I don't have, I don't have to be punching in a whole bunch and, and say what my my thoughts are.

I just know that there's going to be a lot of domestic backlash on this, and I don't think they're going to get the midterm victory that they're hoping. We are going to do midterms one way or another. We're going to have the primary here in the state of Texas for the GOP. So if you guys have a primary race coming up and there's someone that's truly atrocious that I should know about, let me

know. But let me just show you who's someone who's truly atrocious in my little backyard that's going to be running for office and I get a chance to vote against tomorrow. This is Valentina Gomez. I think Noriega is her last name. She was born in Medellin, Colombia. And she touts herself as a conservative, as a fighter, as an anti Muslim, as sort of like almost all the things we talk about when it comes to bacon cheeseburger nationalism, but actually lives up to none of them.

This is, as far as I can tell, someone who's unemployed. I don't know if she has an actual job, but I can't figure out what the heck it is. She's a carpetbagger that ran for office in Missouri and failed, and now she's running for Texas. She wants to be the representative for my Congressional District, even though she's blocked me on the on the social media platforms. So there's a lot of people out there that are going to say things that are pretty gross, and this is one of them.

She's under 30. She's unmarried, as far as I can tell, She has no children. She represents none of the conservative values that anybody would expect. And yet, just like a lot of these people, she's got a somewhat pretty face. She's a foreign accent. And then steps in and acts like they're going to bring you the solution. I wanted to just show you what a what a fake looks like in the time when we're dealing with so many fakes and here she is. She found a way to make all of

this that's going on about her. And when I say all of this, I mean Mr. Property of Allah, Senegalese dude, she's decided that with no evidence, he was actually out to try to kill her and that's why he ended up killing people that were not her. My major issue.

Look, if you're a grown up and you've done something in the world and you want to go ahead and show us what it is and you want to make the argument why we should why we should elect you to be our Rep. But this woman has actually said if you don't elect me. Fathers, husbands, men, American military veterans, people who have industry started businesses and have done something other than just being a wealthy girl who moved in here to New Jersey. By the way, I should show you

this. Hold on real quick. If you guys are watching, this is pretty funny. So this is her story. She basically is just sort of she's offensive for the purpose of social media gathering and does these sort of fake wrap myself literally if you wrap yourself in the flag, a cheap Chinese flag at that. Pretty pathetic. There's pictures of her going

back to to high school. Her basic, her claim to fame was that she was a Division One athlete and she was a good swimmer and that's it. No claim of job, work, anything else functional. She runs around with guns and does weird things. She's not from Texas. She registered at APO box to vote here and may not even be able to vote in her own election. And anyway, there's a lot of these types of griffs that

happen. We're surrounded by them, whether they be Anna Paulina Luna, who changed her name to run for office and pretended to be Jewish during her campaign, or a lady that takes a flamethrower and lights a Quran on fire or burns, you know, LGBTQ books or whatever the heck is going on this sort of thing. This is the unserious nature of

our country. And then in the meantime, we have, like, really desperately serious things that are happening when we've got, you know, war starting, even though we were promised otherwise. Just wanted to give you guys a little taste of who I'm not going to be voting for in my district. And if you guys have things like this, let me know. I wanted to play this video that was blocked. I wasn't able to respond to it, but I was able to download it and share it with you.

And we're going to wrap up today. A Muslim just killed multiple Americans right here in Austin, TX just two days before my election. And he also wanted to kill me. I was very clear when I told you that for me, this is just an election, but for you and your family, this is your life. So you either vote me to Congress on Tuesday, March 3rd, or get ready to be raped or murdered by a Muslim that will fulfill the jihad. The choice is yours. Don't say that nobody fought for you. Yeah.

All right. So if you are from not this country and you want to make a pitch to people who are actually in this country, who actually have skiing in the game and have actually done something like put more babies into the world to be able to protect them themselves. We don't need some girl who's under the age of 30 to try to come up and tell us that she fought for us anyway. This is the status of the GOP at this point. This is what the GOP looks like.

And This is why we have an unserious answer to a lot of really, really serious questions for me. That's why you won't find me registered as a Republican. But I will be going out in that primary to try to get Doc to get Doc Pete Chambers as the candidate Texas governor. And I'll vote for anybody against this woman.

And in fact, if she actually wins the Texas primary, which I think are very low odds, I would actually vote for a Democrat over her 100% because I'd rather have a Democrat than someone who's just like utterly dip shitted like that.

All right, folks, that's the program. Thanks so much for joining us. I hope you guys had some fun. Again, if you if you didn't like the Donald Trump long form, I think it's fair and it's appropriate sometimes to tell, you know, let the president say it his own things, especially if we're going to be going to war with somebody overseas. Rumble, give us the like YouTube, do the same thing. If you guys haven't subscribed in those places, do so now.

Don't just say dumb things. Sometimes people do and I have to, I have to discount you have a great rest of your Monday. I look forward to whatever the heck we're going to be doing this week and I expect that it's going to be a little bit nuts. So that's your sort of heavy-handed start for the week and the beginning of March. God bless you guys.
