Jon Stewart _ Klepper on Trump_s Response to Israel-Iran and MAGA_s War Pushback · Mic Drop Comedy

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We were in the office on Friday. We planned a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: very fun show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It was going to be light on.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: We were going to come out here, talk about little
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Kim Jong Trump and his big military parade slash quinceanera
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and how it meant that we all live in North
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Korea now. All the hyperbole of this massive display of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: American military power really butted up against what the parade
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: actually was, which was this. Was that tank squeaking?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: No!
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We have a trillion dollar budget for the military?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Nobody's got WD-40.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Nobody.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Squeaky tank.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Nobody can just go in there. This was less a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: show of overwhelming force and more like a military museum
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: getting in its steps. It was actually kind of nice
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and fun. It took you through the history of the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: army from its days of tri-cornered hats and muskets to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: its brave future as.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Robot dog walkers.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Who's going to clean up these ball bearings? Who's got a.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Three kiloton explosive nose?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You do. You do.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Can I boop?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: No, probably not.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But for all the hype, it was a relatively reserved,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: not particularly well-attended event that left all the VIPs lucky
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: enough to see it bored.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Out of their f * * * ing minds.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the real crowds turned out for the No Kings March, where.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Millions gathered in cities all across the country to protest
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: our slow descent into authoritarian dystopia.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: They protested and showed off all the hats they made.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And in Boston, the No Kings Parade conveniently coincided with
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the Pride Parade.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And it was... Wait a minute. The gays have developed
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: robot dogs as well? The gays.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: The gays have the advanced technology?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Or are those just the gay robot dogs that Secretary
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of Defense Hegseth wouldn't allow to serve openly in our
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: other army?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Is that... They're not allowed to serve. Well, guess what,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Secretary Hegseth?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They are serving. The point is, no kings appear to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: be arousing success. And the military parade's failure to succeed
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in its grandiose objectives can be described in really this
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: one Fox News clip. And I promise you, we did
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: not edit this in any way.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: If I was the Ayatollah watching Fox News coverage, which
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I hope he is, of this parade, I would be
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: very frightened. And I would be thinking twice about whether
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I want to retaliate against the United States.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: The Ayatollah would be frightened.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: They're waving.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Does the Ayatollah know the Americans have.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Obtained jazz hands? Surrender or dance!
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: But as always, reality was no match for President Donald Trump,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: who set a very specific and low bar of success
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for his birthday parade.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Last night was a tremendous success with a fantastic audience.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It was supposed to rain.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: They gave it a 100 percent chance of rain and
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: it didn't rain at all. It was beautiful.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Nothing says I just turned 79. Like shouting about how
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the weather forecast was wrong.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It was a tremendous success.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They said it would rain. I knew it wouldn't rain.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: You know how I knew.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: My right knee didn't bark. It's going to rain.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It always barks.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You see?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That show about that stuff. Fun, carefree, light, enjoyable. Old
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: man talking weather, gay robot dogs. The world that could
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: have been you, the viewer, would have enjoyed. But the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: reason why we couldn't spend the whole show on the parade,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: perhaps the reason why the parade wasn't as extravagant as
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it could have been, was because our most impressive military
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: shit this weekend was being used elsewhere.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Tonight, Israel announcing it has launched a military strike against Iran.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: Smoke seen rising in Tehran in video posted online.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And overnight, Iranian strikes in Israel.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: Retaliation, it says, for Israel's attack on its nuclear, military
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: and energy infrastructure.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Now there are concerns about how much this could escalate.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Could? Could escalate?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The whole f * * * ing region is escalate.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: It's all on fire.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: This is a wedding video from Lebanon over the weekend.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Missiles, fireworks, doesn't matter.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I now pronounce you man and duck.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But what happened with Iran? Weren't we about to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Make a nuclear deal? Wasn't our dealmaker-in-chief making a deal
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to keep Iran from enriching uranium? Actually, didn't we have
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a deal before our dealmaker-in-chief so wisely pulled us from
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that deal? Why did this have to go balmy on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Iran now?
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: And by next spring, at most, by next summer, at
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment of.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And move on to the final stage.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Iran is months away from having a nuclear bomb, says Netanyahu,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in 2012. By the way, did Iran happen to get
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that bomb from a company called Acme?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Will it be delivered to Israel on rocket-powered skates?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Will it go off in a tumultuous... Seriously, why did
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: we have to bomb Iran now?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Iran is so dangerous.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: Weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: arsenal of nuclear bombs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Holy shit, that's why.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Iran's only weeks away from having an entire arsenal of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: nuclear bombs, says Netanyahu. In 2015... 2015.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Think about that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Back when we all thought, oh no, the Republicans might
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: nominate that madman Jeb Bush. Should have gone with the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: question mark. No, seriously, I'm not being facetious. I really
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: want to know why we had to bomb Iran now.
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: We're going to show you Iran's secret nuclear files. Here's
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: the warhead.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Here's the bomb.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And that's from 2018. I don't know if Iran is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: any closer to having a bomb, but it is clear.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Israel now has the capacity to enrich their drawings.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu... I swear to God.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Netanyahu talks about Iran getting nukes the way I talk
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: about the Knicks winning a title.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: This, this is the year. The Knicks are one piece away.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Weeks away from winning a title.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They never win.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: A f * * * ing title.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, a hot war between Israel and Iran could
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: threaten the United States. It's best we stay out of it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying Israel took unilateral action
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: against Iran and that the U.S.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Is not involved in strikes. We're not involved. That's good.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: The U.S. says it was informed beforehand.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Good neighbor policy. We were informed. They let us know.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: We're still not being involved, really.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: President Trump acknowledged yesterday that he wasn't. aware of the
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Israeli operation, and he gave it a green light.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: They don't know what they're talking about.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: We were told.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: We approved. It's still Israel's game.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Israel used American equipment during its initial strikes against Iran.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: What the are we doing?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: All right, so we knew, and we approved, and we
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: gave them all the shit to do it with.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'm confused. Are we involved?
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I think I need clarification from our parade grand marshal
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in chief.
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: The president made it clear that the United States is
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: not involved. He wanted to make that very clear, but
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: at the same time, it's possible that we could get involved,
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: but we're not involved at this moment.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: See, we're Switzerland.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Perhaps the reason why the president is being cagey about
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all this is because not all of the MAGA are
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: embracing Netanyahu's bomb fetishes. We cannot be dragged into and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: actually dragged into a war in the Middle East. We
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: put America first, and that means American interests first.
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: Our MAGA base, they do not want the United States
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: to be engaged in this.
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: I don't know anyone that wakes up and thinks about
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: bombing Iran.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: She doesn't know anyone who wakes up and thinks about
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: bombing Iran. I got to tell you, I don't think
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: she knows anyone who wakes up and thinks.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But credit.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: They enjoyed that.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this. This may surprise some people.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Credit where credit is due. I certainly have tremendous policy and,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in some instances, space laser differences with these folks. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I applaud any group that is steadfast in a diplomacy-first posture.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The only problem with their posture that I see with
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it is... Their reluctance to commit America's military to fighting
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: drawn out and often pointless wars doesn't seem to extend
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to America.
• 12:15
  Speaker 12: President Trump should fully deploy the military in the streets.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Take back the streets of L.A. Do it and do
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it fast.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Huh? Doesn't want to be in Iran. He wants to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: be in L.A. He doesn't want to deploy the military overseas.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: He wants to save the military for the real threat. Us.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: He's not being.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Hypocritical, just f * * * ing mind-blowing. The MAGA
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: mindset appears to be, we didn't vote for foreign wars.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: We voted for civil war.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: This is a war.
• 12:47
  Speaker 13: The battle for America was going to take place in
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: Los Angeles.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: The only way to win here is to double and
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: triple down.
• 12:54
  Speaker 11: The current war that we are seeing waged by the Democrats,
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: by the foreign nationals waving Mexican flags.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: The city of Los Angeles is an occupied city. It
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: is time to retake the cities of this country.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: It is time to use force.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: They are looking for any pretense. They are looking for
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: any pretense to sick their robot dogs on Democrats. And
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the strategy that they're using is to inflate the threat
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that this country now faces to so rile up their
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: base as to make the left in this country represented
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: by over 75 million votes in the past presidential election
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: as a legitimate military target. for the United States of America.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: It's a strategy that's been used before to gin up
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: military conflict. See if you recognize it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: The good people of Iraq, they want a peaceful country.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: They want security.
• 13:57
  Speaker 14: The good people of Los Angeles deserve to be secure
• 14:01
  Speaker 14: in their homes.
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: We're not going anywhere until there is a stable environment.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: We're not going anywhere. We're here to maintain the peace.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Liberate Iraq from the tyranny.
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: Liberate the city from the socialists.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: We will liberate the people of Iraq. We will liberate
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. We must!
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: They don't understand yet. We must invade Los Angeles. We
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: cannot have the world's most dangerous people eating the world's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: most delicious tacos.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: It's so f * * * ing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Absurd to paint the opposition party in your country as
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a fifth column, an enemy from within. But again, like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to overreact. I don't want to strain
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the metaphor too much. It's not like the right is
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: calling for the need for a kind of Iraq-like debathification
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: program to remove Democrats from government post-liberation.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: We need like a debathification program.
• 15:04
  Speaker 13: Fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: administrative state.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Replace them with our people. They're insane.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, was that guy's beard used to color J.D.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Vance's eyes?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Laughter Laughter Laughter So there you have it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We've got Israel stoking foreign wars. We've got the right
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in this country pushing for domestic war. And I haven't
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: even gotten to the one thing this weekend that was
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: actually really so.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: F * * * ed up.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It's almost too much show. You know, in fact, I'm
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: going to break form. Let's take an intermission.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: All right. Here we go. Intermission over. Thank you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of kid that I hate having
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to do on the show. But as you know, Minnesota
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: was the site of horrible violence where a state house
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: leader and her husband were killed. A state senator and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: his wife were shot. The only positive is that the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: person who perpetrated these acts has finally been caught.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Finally.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: But what I was really struck by is what seemed
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to be on everybody's mind in the midst of this horror.
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: This morning, a lot of questions remain, like what was
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: his motive?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: A motive?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Why did he do this? When do we learn about motive?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Everyone wants to know why, Bill.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: His roommate, he says that the suspect was a Trump supporter.
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: This is a Tim Walz appointee.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: This is a Democrat.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, and I truly mean this.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I mean no disrespect. Like, I don't give a f
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: * * k why this person did it. I just
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: don't give a f * * k. I don't care.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care whose team he's on. I don't care
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: if he listens to NPR or Fox News. I don't
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: give a flying.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: F * * *.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: What blows my mind is our resignation in the aftermath
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of this nonsense. What are you going to do? I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: don't know. Put a shit ton of funding into mental
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: health funding. Put a shit ton of money into illegal
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: weapons interdiction. Maybe that ship.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe the.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: What do you call it there?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe the chip that Bill Gates had injected in all
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of us during COVID could have a self-destruct button?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Take people out before they do this shit? For God's sakes,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: can't we do that? Grubhub knows when I want pizza.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You don't think Grubhub doesn't know when people are getting murderous?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: What's the difference between hungry and hangry?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: What's the difference?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: We're willing to do things about other issues. We just
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: heard about it. Why are they attacking Los Angeles right now?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Why is the right so willing to tear our cities
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: apart in this moment?
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: Dangerous criminals continue to flood our nation and kill our citizens.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: This has to stop. I mean, I think about it
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for my grandkids. I mean, how safe are they in
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this society?
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: One woman or one child violated by an illegal alien
• 19:19
  Speaker 13: is one too many.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: The alarm bells were going off a long time ago.
• 19:23
  Speaker 12: A lot of Democrats will defend this and say, well,
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: you know, it's such a small percentage.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: They have blood on their hands, pure and simple.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: One is too many. One is too many.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: One death. By the way.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: True. It is too many. Violence should never be accepted.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It should never be tolerated. But that's for their issue
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in the wake of Sandy Hook and Uvalde. And Parkland
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and El Paso and Lewiston and Aurora and Buffalo and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Boulder and Binghamton and Highland Park and Monterey Park and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: San Bernardino and San Jose and San Francisco and the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Pulse nightclub and the Colorado Springs nightclub and the Little
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Rock nightclub and the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the Ned Peppers Bar in Dayton. and the Waffle House
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: in Nashville, and Virginia Tech, and UVA, and MSU, and UCSB,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and FSU, and NIU, and SMC, and the Sutherland Springs Church,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and the Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, and the Living
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Church of God, and the Tree of Life Synagogue, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the Allen Mall, and the Westroads Mall, and Fort Hood,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Lockheed Martin, and what are.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: We f * * * ing doing? What are we doing?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: By the way, that is a wildly incomplete list. We
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: kept it to the last 25 years and it's still
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: not everything. And what's their response to all that? They're
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing that they always do after there's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a mass shooting.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: They politicize it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: The issue is not with the Second Amendment.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: Guns aren't the problem.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Does a gun commit crime?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Democrats want to take away your guns. They don't want
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to solve problems. Turns out, when it comes to mass shootings,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: one's not too many. Actually, a shitload isn't too many.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And by the way, you can say Second Amendment all
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you want, but you definitely don't seem to mind throwing
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: out the Constitution when it comes to deportation. And I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: am legitimately asking this question. This is truly legitimate. I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: know I can be like, but like, I am genuinely baffled.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Why is it when a foreigner. or someone that shouldn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: be here kills one of us, we're going to put
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: $ 150 billion into border security. We're going to militarize our cities.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to spend trillions of dollars to bomb and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: destabilize foreign countries overseas. We're going to ban people from
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: random countries from ever f * * * ing visiting here.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: We're going to take our shoes off at the airport forever.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: But when we do it to ourselves, nothing. Is it
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: that the only acceptable deaths are those that are made
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: in America? Our only response now is to tally up
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the psycho scoreboard on whose side the perp belongs to.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I honestly would like to know. Like, it makes no sense.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: It's jarring cognitive dissonance. This is Senator Mike Lee. All right.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Great state of Utah, which, by the way, suffered a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: tragic shooting death at one of their no kings events
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. And just a little backstory. I've met
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Senator Lee. He's the best. In 2019, when we were
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: trying to get permanent reauthorization of the Ray Pfeiffer, Louis Alvarez,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the Droga Act, we met with Senator Mike Lee in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: his office down in Washington. We had a team of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Feel Good Foundation and a team of first responders with us. Firefighters, cops,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: other people. One of the cops had been in the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: first tower when it collapsed.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So all these first responders are going around the table
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and they are sharing their stories. to try and get
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Senator Mike Lee to support this bill that's going to
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: provide life-saving coverage and money to the victims of this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: terrible terrorist attack and the illnesses they are suffering since then.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: When the one cop says his story about being in
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the tower that collapsed and the aftermath, when he told
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Senator Lee about that experience, Senator Lee smiled and said,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I bet you've got a lot of stories.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Of dead, of like what? Spring break?
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Like, what are you talking about? We met a lot
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of people in Washington. Some were hopeful, some of those meetings,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: some were upsetting meetings. That was the only meeting where
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: we all walked out and looked at each other and went,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: what the is wrong with that guy?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: The only one.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I say this for context. for why I use Senator
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Lee as the avatar for the insanity of this moment.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Here he is on the Senate floor talking about why
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: he is for these, you could call draconian immigration policies.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: The tragic case of Lakeland Riley, a life cut short
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: by an illegal alien. Her case represents hundreds of thousands
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: of families across this nation whose lives have been upended
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: by the invasion.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: That our leaders allowed to happen.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Now, look, he's right to be upset at our leaders
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: for allowing unsafe conditions to happen.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Here's Mike Lee tweeting this weekend about the assassination of
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a Democratic legislator and her husband. Just hours after we
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: all learned about this tragedy.
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah posted a picture of
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: the suspect at the door of one of the lawmakers
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: with the caption. This is what happens when Marxists don't
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: get their way.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: And by the way, he didn't just post that. He
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: didn't just post that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: He pinned that to the top of whatever the it
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: is that you pin stuff on on Twitter, your Twitter
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: refrigerator to show off your Twitter work. And then to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: let all of us know that that is not the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: depth of his depravity, that he can go deeper. He
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: posted this.
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: The senator posted another picture with the caption nightmare on
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: Wall Street, mocking, of course, the name of the Minnesota governor.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: OK, first of all.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Elm Street to Wall Street is a shitty pun. As
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a comedian, I must object. You've got Wolf of Wall
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Street just sitting there. And second, I truly want to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: know why in his mind one death, the hands of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: an immigrant, is worth $ 150 billion of border security, a
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: militarization of American cities. Well, just the blue cities. I
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: know the undocumented immigrants in red state fields are the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: good ones now suddenly. That and I guess Mar-a-Lago hospitality workers.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: But I want to know.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Why those deaths in Minnesota are worth only a night
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: of edgelord shitposting. No billions for mental health, no stopping
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: illegal weapons trafficking, no nothing. We should ask him why.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I bet he's got some stories to tell.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: This was supposed to be study abroad week for Trump,
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: and things started out oh so well. He arrived at
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: the G7 confidently, strolling out of the woods like a
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: contestant on the Golden Bachelorette. Or a shaved Sasquatch, you know?
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: You see what you want to see. Now, this is
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: an important G7 for Trump, because he had to prove
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: that he had the discipline and wherewithal to fix the
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: global economy after he.
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: F * * * ed.
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: Up the global economy. And you know what? He almost
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: nailed it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: We all know the great Prime Minister of the UK,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: and we just signed a document.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: This is.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: We thought about that.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Don't worry, don't worry.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: There's a five-second rule with trade agreements. Trump's still totally
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: good to eat those documents. And I know some of
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: you haters are going to make fun of him, but
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: Trump didn't drop the papers by accident. It was a
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: 4D chess move to check out the British Prime Minister's badonkadonk.
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: But before Trump could sign and or drop any other
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: trade deals, he decided to peace out.
• 27:58
  Speaker 15: Overnight, President Trump with an abrupt about face, announcing he's
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: cutting short his trip to the G7 summit in Canada,
• 28:05
  Speaker 15: racing back to the White House instead.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I have to be back.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Very important. I want to just thank our great host.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But you probably see what I see.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: And I have to be back.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: We all know what this is, right? You're at an event.
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: You have to rush home because something came up. Look,
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: I get it. None of us like to poop in
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: an unfamiliar place. Sometimes when you have a big matchup
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: coming up, you just need that home field advantage. I understand, Donald.
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: But of course, the real reason Donald Trump rushed home
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: to Washington was to deal with the war between Israel
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: and Iran. And the big question was, was he rushing
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: home to help negotiate an end to the war or
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: to bring America into the war? It's the most important
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: decision a nation can make, and one that we've whiffed
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: on for the last, like, 10, 20, 30, 40... It
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: doesn't matter. The point is.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: Point is, it'd be really reassuring to know that the
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: president has a clear and consistent plan.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So, Mr.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: President, are you looking for war or a ceasefire?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: We're not looking for a ceasefire.
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: I didn't say I was looking for a ceasefire.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: He's not looking for a ceasefire.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: We're looking at better than ceasefire.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, great.
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: Great. Yeah, better than a ceasefire. Ceasefire plus.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: I hate watching ads.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: That's wonderful.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: This is good news.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: I'm glad you're going to negotiate. with Iran.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not too much in the mood to negotiate.
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Not in the mood. Okay.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: The president's not vibing on negotiations then. So it's war.
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: Because who would negotiate besides you, Mr. President?
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: He's considering sending the vice president to negotiate with the Iranians.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: I think this is fantastic.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: J.D.
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: Vance is a great choice to negotiate. The Iranians will
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: agree to anything to get him the.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: F * * * out of there.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: You know what? And it's great for peace, because if
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: Trump is negotiating, it sounds like we're not going to
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: flatten Tehran anytime soon.
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: The president warned everyone in Iran's capital city to flee,
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: posting everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran, with no additional explanation.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: You know what? I could use some additional explanation.
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: Mr. President, I am more confused than ever. Please just
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: sum up your explanation in.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: One clean tweet.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: President Trump has just posted new comments directed at Iran.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: We know exactly where the so-called supreme leader is hiding.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: He is an easy target but is safe there. We
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: are not going to take him out and then in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: parentheses kill.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: At least not for now.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: So we know where the Ayatollah is, but he's safe.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: We could kill him, but we won't. For now, maybe later.
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: We'll find out next on The Golden Bachelorette, okay? I mean,
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: how does one tweet and have six different positions? I mean, clearly,
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: we're not going to get any clarity from listening to
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: President Trump. Maybe other people in his inner circle can
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: shed some light on America's position. Tucker Carlson, huge supporter
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: of the president. What do you think of the war?
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: I just don't want my country to be further weakened
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: or destroyed by another one of these wars. And boy,
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: if you can't connect the dots after 25 years of this,
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: you're either too dumb to participate in the conversation or
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: you're just a liar who doesn't care.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: Wow. I mean, Tucker, he hasn't been this distraught since
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: the WNBA got popular.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: OK, Mr.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: President, I hope you understand what Tucker Carlson is saying.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson is saying.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Let him go get a television network.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: And say it so that people listen.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: Oh, snap! Trump's like, go on TV and say it,
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: you bitch. That's right, you can't because you got kicked
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: off Fox News for lying about me winning the 2020 election,
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: which I appreciate, you bitch. So yes, Trump is not
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: on the same page as Tucker, and he seems to
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: be at odds with some of the other top MAGA
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: minds as well.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: The American people have been brainwashed into believing that America
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: has to engage in these.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: Foreign wars in order for us to survive.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: And it's absolutely not true.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: Oh my God. I can't believe I'm agreeing with Marjorie
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: Taylor Greene. I'm at war with myself. This can't be right.
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: Keep playing the clip. I'm sure I'll find something to
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: disagree with her on.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: They don't want to hear about politics.
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: They want to be able to afford food and they
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: want to be able to afford gas and they just
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: want to have fun for once in their life. They
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: want to have fun.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, I still agree with her for once in their lives.
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: Americans just want to have fun.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I don't want a war. I want to dance.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: Although, you know what? I'm pretty sure Americans do know
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: how to have fun regardless of international conflicts. I've never
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: gotten a text saying, hey, bro, territorial dispute in the
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: South China Sea.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Barbecue's canceled.
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: So, doesn't seem like Trump is listening to the anti-war
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: wing of his party. Maybe he'll listen to the anti-war
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: wing of his own administration, like Tulsi Gabbard, his own
• 33:41
  Speaker 9: director of national intelligence.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: What she said, I think they were very close to having.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: A nuclear weapon.
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: This is the benefit of appointing unqualified crazy people to
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: your team. You could always be like, do you know
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: how crazy and unqualified she is? I don't care what
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: she said. So, Trump is beefing with the anti-war wing
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: of his party and dismissing intelligence from his own cabinet,
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: showing that Iran is not actually building nukes. It certainly
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: seems to be leaning in a let's do a World
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: War III direction. And weirdly enough, the final confirmation might
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: be pizza.
• 34:27
  Speaker 13: According to an account on X called the Pentagon Pizza Report...
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: Nearly all pizza establishments nearby the Pentagon have experienced a
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: huge surge in activity.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Here's why. When U.S.
• 34:39
  Speaker 13: Military personnel face a national emergency, they work late into
• 34:43
  Speaker 13: the night and can't.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Leave their desks.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: At 8.57 p.m.
• 34:47
  Speaker 13: Thursday, the Pentagon Pizza Report reported that the closest and
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: second-closest dominoes to the Pentagon had surged in traffic.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. We're going to war!
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: Or everyone at the Pentagon just got divorced at the
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: same time. Look, I don't know how things are going
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: to end, but it seems like they're trending in a
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: bad direction. I will say this, though. If you told
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: me after Election Day that within four months of Trump's presidency,
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: I'd be staring at a Domino's pizza tracker to figure
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: out if we're going to enter the final war of mankind,
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: I'd have said, that's about right. For two days now,
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: the world has been waiting for Donald Trump to decide
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: whether to accept Israel's Evite to go to war with Iran.
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: LAUGHTER We know he's viewed it, but he still hasn't RSVP'd.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: I hate it when that happens. Now, in the meantime,
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: the question has started a separate war inside his MAGA base.
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: And today, it exploded into a heated debate between the
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: two most likable and charming voices on the right. On
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: the one side is Ted Cruz, who wants war with Iran.
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: And on the other is Tucker Carlson, who thinks Ted
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: Cruz doesn't know shit about Iran.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: How many people live in Iran, by the way?
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know the population.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: At all?
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: No, I don't know the population.
• 36:09
  Speaker 12: You don't know the population of the country you seek
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: to topple?
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: How many people live in Iran?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: 92 million.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: Oh, damn, Ted Cruz. Are you a pair of $ 800
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: Ferragamo boat shoes? Because Tucker Carlson owned you, buddy.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz was.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: Like, I know the population, just give me a second
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: to count, okay? Let's see, there's the Ayatollah, that's one.
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: The Iron Sheik, two. Is Aladdin one?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know, no.
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: If you enjoyed seeing Ted Cruz get metaphorically punched in
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: the face, how would you like to see it again?
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: Why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: million or 100 million?
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: Because if you don't know anything about the country.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I didn't say I don't know anything about the country.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, no. Oh, no.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Not ethnic mixes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: You don't want to go toe-to-toe with Tucker Carlson on
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: ethnic mixes. That's his best subject. Look at poor Ted Cruz.
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: He's like, uh, uh, uh, I'd like to phone a friend, please. Oh, shit,
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: I don't have any. I had a waiter last night
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: at Outback, and he called me champ. Can I phone him?
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: You know, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm
• 37:27
  Speaker 9: starting to feel bad for Ted Cruz. So come on, Ted,
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: you got this.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: They are Persians and predominantly Shia.
• 37:35
  Speaker 12: Okay, no, you don't know anything about Iran.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: Okay, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran.
• 37:42
  Speaker 12: You're a senator who's calling for the overthrow of the government.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: And you don't know anything about the country.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: No, you don't know anything about the country.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: This is awesome. You don't know anything. No, you don't
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: know anything. I don't care about who wins the fight.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I just like watching the fight.
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: It's like alien versus predator, but somehow more gross. You
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: can see how heated this is getting. Clearly, MAGA is
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: much more divided about whether to overthrow Iran than they
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: were about whether to overthrow America. Every little comment in
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: this interview turned into a semantic battle.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: We're carrying out military strikes today.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: You said Israel was. Right.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: With our help. I said we.
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them. Well, you're
• 38:27
  Speaker 12: breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied,
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied, on behalf
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: of Trump, that we were acting on Israel's behalf in
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: any offensive.
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: Capacity at all.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: We're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them. You just said
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: we were. We are supporting Israel.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: This is high stakes.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: We? I?
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: You?
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: For the party that promised no confusion around pronouns, this
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: is really confusing. The point is, Mago World is tearing
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: itself apart, and everyone is waiting for Trump to make
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: a decision. And remember, Trump abruptly left the G7 summit
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: so he could rush back to the White House, meet
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: with his national security team in the Situation Room, and
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: decide if he's bringing America into this war. So we
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: were all waiting for the big announcement. And then it came.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: Trump said in a Truth Social post, it is my
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: great honor to announce that I will be putting up
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: two beautiful flagpoles on both sides of the White.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: House, north.
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: Not the announcement we were waiting for, but sure, have
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: a couple flagpoles installed at the White House. That'll be
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: something for the groundskeepers to take care of while you're
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: busy in the Situation Room dealing with more important matters.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: At 11 o'clock, we're lifting the flag. But we're going
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: to lift the pole now, and then they're going to
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: the other side.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: Fine, be out there introducing the whole thing. Now, back
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: to the Situation Room.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: So we'll have one on this side of the building.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: We'll have one on that side of the building properly placed.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: These are the best polls anywhere in the country or
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: in the world, actually.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: They're tapered. They have the nice top.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't know if you people are ecstatic.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: You know, they're the fake news. I don't know about you.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: But it's a very exciting project to me.
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: What's going on here? Feels like someone told him, sir,
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: you're not doing well in the polls. And he was like,
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: I hear you. I'm on it. And by the way,
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: what was that aside about how the fake news doesn't
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: understand flagpole aesthetics? I mean, this is a whole new
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: stereotype of the liberal media I didn't even know about.
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: They lie about Hunter Biden's laptop and they have no
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: appreciation for tapered flagpoles. Now, personally, I think it's cool
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: that Trump found a new use for the 50-foot pole
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: that Melania refuses to touch him with. He was clearly
• 41:06
  Speaker 9: having a good time, although he stopped himself from getting
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: too carried away.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: Let's have a good, they call it a lifting. They
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: also use another word, but I'm not going to use
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: that word. Do you know what that is? The word,
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: it starts with an E. You know what the word is?
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: If I ever used it, I'd be run out of
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: town by you people. All right, so enjoy it.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: Come on, Donald. You think if you say the word erection,
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: we're going to all act like children and take it
• 41:37
  Speaker 9: out of context?
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. Come on.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: Where do you get a silly idea like that?
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come. Okay, y'all.
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: Now I remember, right? It's crazy for Trump to suddenly
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: get all worried about saying erection. His closing campaign message was,
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: vote for me, I saw Arnold Palmer's incredible penis. But okay,
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: you came out, you talked about flagpoles, you met the
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: flagpole guys, you made some flagpole-related dick jokes. Time to
• 42:10
  Speaker 9: turn around, go back inside, and stop and or escalate
• 42:14
  Speaker 9: this war. Let's not waste any more time.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: Say what you want about Biden. He wasn't for open borders.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: He wasn't for transgender for everybody. We don't know where
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: it's coming from, sir. I said, check out the tariffs.
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: He calls back about a day later.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Somewhere in this group, there's somebody that is going to
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: captivate some movie producer.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Not Harvey Weinstein. The only thing too late is Powell.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Powell's too late. Too late, Powell.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Let's have dinner. Too late.
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: You ever have a guy that's not a smart person
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: and you're dealing with him?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Any illegal immigrants?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know. 35 club championships. You all know that.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I know that. 35 club championships. Groceries are down.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Eggs are down.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: You know what I do whenever I talk about Gavin Newsom?
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: I say, look at the railroad. Austria has very, very
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: flammable trees. Good Lord.
• 43:05
  Speaker 9: I don't want to say anything, but if your flagpole
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: erections last more than four hours, you probably want to
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: see a doctor.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Donald! Donald!
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: Focus, focus, focus. Get back to the flagpoles.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: No, wait, get back to the war.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I mean war.
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: He's got me all mixed up. Just someone ask him
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: about the war.
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: Have humans answered questions about whether you are moving closer
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: or you believe the U.S.
• 43:33
  Speaker 15: Is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Where's your mindset on that? I may do it. I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: may not do it.
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. Great.
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: Super helpful. Thanks, Guy. That is the key to this
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: whole thing. Nobody knows what he wants to do, including
• 43:52
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump. He'd rather be doing home renovation projects than
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: figure out how to fix all his.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: F * * *- ups.
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: And honestly, I agree. I think we should encourage him
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: to spend all his time on landscaping projects as opposed
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: to bringing America into another Middle East war. Frankly, I
• 44:10
  Speaker 9: think a lot of people would be relieved by that decision,
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: even overjoyed. It might even give people... I don't want
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: to say it, but it starts with an A.
