Starting point is 00:00:00 Hawaii starts with the same aloha we share with each other extended to you. Hawaii starts with a cabin crew that takes care of you like Ohana. Hawaii starts here with Hawaiian Airlines. Visit Hawaiian Airlines.com to book your next vacation. I'm going to start off with a soft story and then I'm going to get into the foreign reaction. But the soft story is important. So Saturday night, I'm at a party in Bridge Hampton, New York. swells, you know, well-heeled crowd, affluent.
Starting point is 00:00:35 And my stupid phone buzzes and, you know, comes on, bombing in Iraq has begun. Caught me by surprise, because I thought when President Trump went from D.C. to Westminster, New Jersey, to his golf club on Friday, that that would be the weekend. But something happened, and I don't know what happened. But I'll find out. And then the bombing commences.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Immediately, I was rude and turned on a television set in the living room of the party to find out what's going on. The best reporter on Earth, as far as this stuff is concerned, is Jennifer Griffith at Fox. Dialed into the Pentagon, knows what's happening, and so I go right to her. Now, I'm taking notes. I got my pen, I got my paper, and I'm writing down notes. and trying to figure out what's going on. And about half of the people at the party, maybe 50, 60 people,
Starting point is 00:01:37 they kind of drift over and they get it, that there's a bombing going on. The other half could not have cared less. And if you watch my broadcast in No Spin News, I'll give you some funny anecdotes about questions that people were asking me. They had no blank an idea who I was. But it was just insane. They were like five years old. But many, many, many people at the party didn't even bother to come over to the television
Starting point is 00:02:11 instead to get even an idea of what was happening. I call these people bubble people. All right? They live in their own bubble. They don't want any intrusion into that bubble. It could be sports. It could be religion. It could be entertainment.
Starting point is 00:02:27 it could be fashion it could be kids grandkids whatever maybe they're not varied enough to do three or four things one bubble don't bother me and i was i was surprised but i think that's a growing crew in america i really think that the social media has knocked out a lot of curiosity and a lot of people seeking information now you obviously are not part of that because you're seeking information listening to me on YouTube right now. So let me give you some. So worldwide reaction really comes down to the countries that have influence on the international stage. You begin with Russia. So Putin is a psychotic guy. My book Confronting Evil will be out September 9th, and Putin's on a cover along with the Ayatollah, Hitler and Mao, and then there are eight others inside.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Okay. So Putin lives to cause trouble. That's what he does. He gets bored and he's a disruptor. He wants to cause trouble and that's why he invaded Ukraine. There's no other reason. There's no, no, doesn't need Ukraine. Ukraine does him no good. A million casualties on the Russian side. He's a psychotic. So he issues a statement today, Putin does. It says the absolutely unprovoked aggression, like Putin knows about that. Against Iran, there's no basis. and no justification. Okay? Putin had it for our part. We're making efforts to assist the Iranian people. Yeah, okay. But his security council deputy, Medvedev, who used to be president, but he's a puppet. He says that a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads, which means that Russia would send Iran bombs or China. whoever, that's bull. No country's going to do that. Because if they did it, they'd be pariahs and they'd be kicked out of the G7, they would be sanctioned. Who's going to do that?
Starting point is 00:04:36 Nobody's going to do that. But this is just saber-rattling. This is like create more chaos. Putin's strategy always is, I'll cause trouble and then I'll cause more trouble off the initial trouble that I caused. So Putin got a heads up, so did China that this bombing was going to happen. Not a big heads up, maybe five minutes. But they knew the Trump administration, it's not stupid. They gave our allies and they gave our adversaries.
Starting point is 00:05:08 They're saying, okay, we got to take care of these guys. So that was Russia and Putin. China, much more circumspect. So the foreign ministry spokesperson says, quote, U.S. strikes seriously violated the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter and international law. Okay. China urges immediate ceasefire, return to negotiations.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Okay. The state media of China warns the strikes damage U.S. credibility and risk filing out of control. That's nothing. You know, I told that. Chinese when I was over there three weeks ago, that this could happen. And nobody in the room was surprised. All the government people in the room, all 13 of them were not surprised. I said, look, his mullahs are pushing it. They're getting into a zone where Trump's not going to back away. They knew. Now, Europe, in another matter, I was surprised by Germany, which is usually
Starting point is 00:06:14 soft. A German, new German chancellor, Frederich Mertz, says that Iran must never require a nuclear weapon, and he's supportive of the U.S. action, urges diplomatic resolution. You know, it's like saying, well, we want the sun to come out because it's summertime. If there was going to be a resolution, it would have happened in the next, in the last four months when Trump desperately tried him. Trump made it. Moll was a good offer, good offer to knock this off economically. We're going to do it. And more than enough time. So, but Germany wasn't the usual. Macron's a weasel and President of France. So the first thing Macron did was we didn't have anything to do with it. That's the first thing he says. France didn't have it.
Starting point is 00:07:08 France. You have anything to do with it? Now, they got a big Muslim problem in France, okay? They got militant Muslims everywhere because they let them in. No, I understand that. But Macron, oh, we don't have anything to do it. But we're opposed to Iran nuclear weapons. Very brave. UK was better. Stormer, I'll play you his soundbite, roll of tape. long had concerns about the Iranian nuclear program and been very clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. The U.S. has now taken action to alleviate that threat. It is important that we now de-escalate the situation, stabilize the region, and get the parties back around the table to negotiate. All right, so summing up, the war reactions muted. No sane leader.
Starting point is 00:08:08 can support Iran having a nuclear weapon. You know, the Arabs don't like any of this bad for business, but they hate Iran. Iran's pretty much alone. Iran's very weak. Their military has been downgraded, particularly in the air. They can't even get planes up. They've got a few missiles left. You've got to keep an eye on Russia and Putin.
Starting point is 00:08:28 They may send more missiles in there. I don't think China will, but that could be wrong. As far as ongoing, I don't think Iran's going to, close the Straits of Hormuz, that hurts China. And they're not going to be able to close them anyway. It's U.S. warships are going, and boom, that'll be the end of that. But Iran, if it keeps it up, there'll be another wave of bombing by Israel. I don't know about the U.S.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I think we may be done with that, but there'll be more devastation reaped upon the Persians. We need to overthrow these mullahs. And the Army could do it. It's a police state, vicious police state. And, you know, that could absolutely happen. So summing up, Trump did the right thing. I go over it methodically on the no-spin news, my broadcast, not a podcast. You go to bill o'Reilly.com, you get on there.
Starting point is 00:09:33 We do 42 minutes, four days a week, straight down the line, all journalistic tenets in place. No bull, none of that, no speculation, no guessing, no nonsense.

And it's important that people, good people, all over the world, understand that, The United States doesn't have any malevolent here. We just want to protect ourselves and free peoples all over the world. And the Iranians are not free.
Starting point is 00:10:14 That's a police state that is in business to kill Jews and Americans. No nukes.
