Very poor reporting on the Iran-Israel-USA situation. People speculating about stuff, they know nothing about it, anonymous sources, a bunch of garbage, and that's why I'm glad you're here. on our radio affiliates across the country and watching on television, because we're going to set the record straight. Now, you have to know that the situation changes from hour to hour. I was on a Hannity radio program today and I said, look, I don't have any hard data that the president has made a decision one way or the other

to use U.S. air power to blow up this furlough this furlough mountain where the uranium is. I don't know if that's going to happen. I do know there are plans drawn up so that, you know, if the president says go, it'll go fast. But at this point, I don't think he's made a decision, but I could be wrong. And it could happen any time.

So it's a tough story to be on top of, yet there's so many distortions leading up to it, and that's what I'm going to do, and correct. So that's a talking points memo about isolationism. So if you believe the media, isolationism is growing. You know, the people, Americans don't want to get involved with foreign entanglements. They want to get out of Ukraine. I don't want any money there. They don't want to help Israel with Iran. This is what the media is pushing. Okay. And some high, profile individuals absolutely fit into that isolationist category. But the regular folks, I don't think are there, but I could be wrong, all right?

Because data is hard to come by. There was a poll sent to me this morning, and it was some outfit that. And the poll question was, do you support military action? including ground troops in Iran. Well, no, who supports that? That's not even in play. Why do the poll? And of course, overwhelming people.

We don't want to send U.S. forces over there. I mean, air power is one thing, but infantry is quite something else. All right, but there are, as I said, isolationists, and the interesting part is they're on both sides. The MAGA, conservative side, and the liberal progressive side. So here's MAGA guy, Steve Bannon. go. I'm telling people, hey, if we get sucked into this war, which inexorably looks like it's going to happen on the combat side, it's going to not just blow up the coalition. It's also going to thwart

what we're doing with the most important thing, which is the deportation of the illegal alien invaders that are here. If we don't do that, we don't have a country. I don't know how an Iranian action would impact on ice, but that's Mr. Bannon's opinion, and he is in. entitled to it. Now, on the left of the Trump haters, there's Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Go. Donald Trump is so weak in the Middle East that the Israelis essentially ran over him, and now we are speeding towards a war in the Middle East that the American people don't want. The fact of the matter is there was a diplomatic path, and there potentially still could be a diplomatic path. Oh, yeah. Okay. I mean, it's...

obvious the mullers are stringing us along how long do you want to give him so he doesn't care you know murphy doesn't care what's true he just hates trump all right so let's run it down here's a fact that if there is a nuclear explosion in this world every human being will be affected So if you're an isolationist, you've got to keep that in mind. So if the Iranians develop a nuclear weapon and they somehow streamline it down so it can be portably transported somewhere, it's very hard to do it from the air. But, you know, and they blow something up, then everybody in the world is affected. So it's not just over there.

It's here. It's everywhere. The Iranian are supporting terrorists. That's beyond any doubt. Hamas, Hizbullah, they give them money, they give them arms. The terrible nightclub assassinations in Orlando, Florida, that was ISIS. I mean, uranium are up to their neck and terrorism everywhere. The mullahs admit they have the weapons-grade uranium.

They, you know, they're not denying it. They have it. And they go, oh, it's for peaceful purposes. okay. If it's for peaceful purposes, just let the UN in. So let them see what you got and bring it right down. It's not hard, but the Mullets won't do that. But you got to keep in mind, Saddam Hussein wouldn't do it either for weapons of mass destruction and they didn't exist and cost Saddam's life. He was killed because he lied about the WMDs and then you have. West forces came in, deposed them, and the Iraqis hung them. Didn't make a lot of sense to me, but he did it. And it's also very instructive to go back a little bit. Appeasement of tyrants never works.

Ever. In the history of mankind, he's never worked. So the modern day history, so you remember the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain visiting Hitler in 38, and Hitler was taken Austria and Czechoslovakia and he's violating the treaty for World War I, do whatever, he was re-arming. I mean, obviously, guy was going to cause trouble, massive trouble, and the British go, okay, go ahead. All right, World War II breaks out. Then at the end of World War II, Winston Churchill's the prime minister, and President Roosevelt, and Stalin, when the war was a fait accompli that Hitler would lose, they met at Yalta. And at the end of FDR's life, he gave away the store to Stalin, gave Stalin everything he wanted.

Winston was a little perturbed by it, but didn't have the power. and General Patton was going absolutely nuts if you read Killing Patton that FDR was giving Stalin everything and everything that wanted. What did that lead to? The Cold War. Okay, 30, what was it, 30, 40 years? That's what that led to.

All right? So appeasement never works. So if you appease Putin, because Ukraine, you know, that's a part of this. this isolationist movement. And if you appease the mullahs, you're going to be more trouble. Don't think there won't be, there will be. 100% guarantee.

Now, if you don't believe that Iran's a threat to the world, you don't want to believe it. And there are people like that. They just live in a bubble. You know, I see it every day. Oh, they're not close to developing a nuclear weapon. And one of these people is the American, National Security Director Tulsi Gabbard. This is an amazing story.

So Gabbard doesn't see the threat, even though President Trump appointed her national security. He doesn't see it. Roll the tape. Political elite and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers. Perhaps it's because they are confident

that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. Now, now it was just posted about a week ago, and Trump's mad. That's it for Tulsi. She's done. okay and when she was appointed national security chief i like her by the way i mean i've interviewed her a number of times and i think she's a woman of conviction but her conviction is isolationism and trump shouldn't know him that so she's out all right let's sum this up um president trump's not a warmonger he doesn't really want to use u.s air power

but there's a good chance he will. A lot of it has to do with how the mullahs behave. If the mulls would surrender and the UN people would go in there under U.S. supervision and dismantle the whole thing, then there wouldn't be a need for it. That's probably a long shot. The mullahs themselves are going to wind up like Gaddafi with their throat cut in a ditch. That's going to happen to them. But if they were to surrender, maybe they could extend.

their lives a little bit. The other possibility is the Iranian army will turn on the mollas, remote, okay, but the Persians are different than the Arabs. Popular support in Iran is not with the mullahs, but they got the secret police state going on. All right, so I can't predict with any certainty what will happen. I do know that air power plans are drawn up, and Donald Trump could act on them any time he wants. It's up to him 100%. Israel doesn't have much say in this. Israel will have to do what we tell them to do.

And Netanyahu will be thrilled if we go in and dismantle that furlough mountain. And the anti-Semites, the anti-Israel progressive crew, they're touting that we're lackeys to Israel. You know that. That's what all those Colombia is. university things were all about you know israel's a terrorist state is he a genocide on and on and on but they're in real life israel's not going to let iran have an atomic weapon an atom bomb a nuclear weapon because uh iran wants to kill them all if you lived in jerusalem you'd feel

this name away and that's the memo all right journey is now from key west florida is stephen Nikila, who is a chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. And I asked for Mr. Nikila because libertarians generally don't want any kind of United States involvement overseas in these kinds of military actions. So I assume you object to this, right? Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the whole. host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast, every day. day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Yes, and thank you so much, Bill, for having me on. We as a Libertarian Party have been against foreign entanglements for over 50 years since the original platform of the Libertarian Party was created. We've opposed all foreign wars, especially wars like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and potentially a war with Iran. And we see this conflict is one that could potentially escalate and cascade into a regional conflict that could entangle the United States

to have to come to the aid of Israel, which were vehemently against. I believe that the Iranian government is first and foremost a threat to its own people. They're an authoritarian regime. I believe I believe Israel does have the right to defend itself. I believe they are correct to be adversarial with Iran, perhaps even kinetic adversaries. But as far as the United States supplying weapons, supplying ISR, and the Israelis asking for United States to get involved again and again, I think we're in a dangerous position where I think Trump's instincts are correct not to get involved directly with an intention. with Iran that could spiral out of control, especially when the endgame is not clear. If the end game is for Iran not to receive or to create nuclear weapons, then the Israeli attacks on supposed Iranian infrastructure should be sufficient. But as the war continues to escalate, we may find ourselves in another forever war that we may be ending up spending billions, if not trillions of dollars on just as we have with the global

war on terror over the past several decades. Okay, so you're making a few mistakes because you're doing a lot of wooda, might, and all of that. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, the Libertarian Party of the United States is going to look foolish. Because Iran is not going to get the nuclear weapon for peaceful meetings. They're going to use it with blackmail. They may even use it literally. I want to kill all Jews. So I don't know how any political party can say, yeah, we're okay, let Iran get a nuclear weapon.

And without the United States support, you know, not direct military, but certainly weapons, intel. The Israelis aren't going to knock out completely the nuclear facilities. They're buried under mountains, you know that. They're going to require major bombs that Israel doesn't have. So the Libertarian Party puts itself in a position of saying, eh, you know, if the mullahs get the nukes, that's okay. Or am I being unfair? We believe that the best way to come to an end of this conflict would be to pursue diplomacy.

Okay, that's not going to work, and you know it. So look. At this point, this seems to be off the table that the Israelis have attacked the Iran. With all due respect. We have tried diplomacy for years. If you read my column on Obama and Biden, they tried to bribe them. They tried to do everything to them. So let's live in the real world, Stephen, please.

Because if you don't, the discussion just goes off the rails. So right now, the Libertarian Party would be okay if the mullahs got the nukes. Now we go to Ukraine. So you don't want the United States to supply Zelensky with military gear. right that is correct i believe that uh the further the the west and nato pushes ukraine towards war with russia uh it's already a war then stephen it's already there war started when the putin invaded okay correct 2014 i understand that a little bit better than i understand the uh nuclear thing in iraq so you don't want the united states to be involved so if the

united states isn't involved the likelihood is that putin takes over because they need money and weaponry from the U.S.A. EU can do a little bit, but we're the big dog. I just return from China, Stephen. It is without a doubt that if the United States withdraws from helping Zelensky and Ukraine, the Chinese will seize Taiwan militarily. They're waiting to see what happens.

You'd be okay with the Chinese seizing Taiwan, right? We believe that the Taiwanese the Ukrainians and the Israelis can certainly purchase weapons from our military industrial conflicts. But the more and more the United States gets involved in these conflicts, either directly or through proxies, the closer this brings us to World War III in a potential nuclear escalation. I don't see that insight in the war with Ukraine and Russia. There was an opportunity for Russia and Ukraine to come to an agreement in Turkey. Boris Johnson told Zelensky not to capitulate to the terms of the peace agreement that we would supply them.

with weapons in order to fight the Russians. And right now the West is pushing Ukraine to fight down, to fight Russia down the very last Ukrainian. Okay. But you're talking about giant countries like Russia invading Ukraine and China invading Taiwan. The little countries can't stand up. It's just like Hitler, when Hitler took Austria and then he took Czechoslovakia, and then he went into the Tsar, and then he started rolling. It's the same exact thing that we've seen for just millennium that the big countries, with the psychotic leaders, take over the little countries. But the U.S. Libertarian Party does not seem concerned about that, and that concerns me.

You see where I'm coming from? I see your concern. I think most Americans are concerned right now with inflation. We're concerned with our tax dollars. Okay, but you're not going to have a worldwide economy if you have disorder, social disorder, all over the world. The world economy collapses. If you have China on the march, if you have Putin on the march, the worldwide economy is going to collapse. So they can be concerned about inflation, but it's going to get a lot worse if you don't have social order. I'll give you

the last word. I think the United States post-World War II did a great job expanding throughout the world economically. We became a bastion of freedom, an economic powerhouse. Now we see China becoming that economic powerhouse. We need to get back to our roots as an economic super power and a foreign policy based on non-intervention, diplomacy, and trade rather than being the world's policeman and weapons manufacturer. The Libertarian Party has stood strong and non-interventionalism. We want to be closer to Switzerland, not isolationists like North Korea. We believe that the United States cannot continue with these forever wars. We already pay a quarter of our taxes go straight to interest. We're going bankrupt as a country. And Americans are

just weary of any new conflicts. And at this point, they're unsustainable. And the Libertarian Party sees peace as the only option in economics and diplomacy as the true right arm of freedom and democracy from the United States. Okay, Stephen, good. I appreciate you coming on. Thanks very much, very good discussion. All right, no King's update. I wrote a message of the day. This is no surprise. He had 75 million people voting against Donald Trump. And you're a surprise that somebody comes out and calls him a king and runs around the street with a sign after he's deporting hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals who the Democrats wanted in here. Come on. This is totally ridiculous. This isn't anything surprising at all. Some facts about 2,000 protests, all 50 states,

about 5 million in attendance. It's not money. That's not a big. There are some big crowds in liberal cities, but not many, 105 arrests across the country that's very low, one death in Utah. So, you look, I was on Stephen A. Smith's podcast. He said, what do I think? I said, fine, you want to dissent, you don't like Trump, get out there and just protest, but just don't wreck anything like they're doing in Los Angeles. Joining us now from New York City is a columnist. for the New York Post, who writes about these kinds of things all the time. But she's a new podcast, that Red Seat, which we're in business with, is promoting. It's called Podcast One.

And it's going to deal with politics, and Miranda Devine has access to a lot of very interesting guests, and she will be doing that podcast. We hope you check it out. So, Ms. Devon, first of all, am I making any mistakes in my Iranian analysis? No, I don't think so at all. And I mean, you know President Trump very well and have known him for many years. And you know that people can't pigeonhole him as either a warmonger or a dove. He's sort of criticized for both things. But as he says, he just tries to apply common sense. And that's what he's been doing now. He's been crystal clear from the beginning throughout the campaign and pre- that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Okay. That's all.

Do you think he's making any mistakes? Should he be more aggressive? Should he be more passive on it? Is he making any mistakes, in your opinion? Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about,

the juicy details in the worlds of politics. politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't think so. I mean, look, he hasn't done anything overt yet. He's just threatened the Ayatollah.

He said we have complete control of the sky. obviously Israel has degraded Iran's defenses, so now is a good time to go in and just smash the nuclear facilities. That's all. But what if Israel can't smash them? Because they don't have the bombs that we have. And say the Mueller's hold out. And the only way to obliterate the nuke stuff is for the United States to bomb these mountain sides. Would you support that? That is the only way because these nuclear facilities are buried very deep down and only the U.S. has these B2 bombers that are capable of carrying the bombs that can actually get near them. So, I mean, unfortunately, America is the only country in the world with the ability to do this.

And I think President Trump has been weighing this decision very, you know, with great care. And his message to the Ayatollah just short time ago saying surrender, unconditional surrender, we don't want the Ayatollah dead. He's safe for now. This is a clear, you know, he's moved. Yeah, he's trying to get, right. It would be much better if they threw their hands off. And then the United Nations could go in conjunction with the United States and just take...

It's not going to happen, probably, but I mean, a limited strike. Just do that and get out. What could happen is the Iranian people, the Persians, will rise up. And if that happens, the army will turn. And that's what Trump is really hoping for. He's not hoping for any rationality on a part of the Ayatollah, okay? He's hoping that the Persian people will say enough. And that's why he's saying, get out of Tehran, you know, is this and that.

And it's possible that happens. Not probable, but possible. Well, we hoped for that in Iraq and it didn't happen. We hope for it in a lot of places and it didn't happen. But I do agree with you that Trump is not going to allow this thing to go back to where it was in a sense that it's signed some kind of deal and a deal is murky and they still have this capacity. Trump has come to the conclusion, and I know this to be true, that they're done. And if we have to push them over the edge, we'll probably push them over the edge.

But if we do that, we're going to have trouble with China in particular. And that is a huge, huge story. And I know that because I was just in Beijing. China didn't care about the mullets. They don't care about them one bit. But they don't want the United States pushing people around and using military action. action. So that's what Trump had, a very, very complicated situation. I also want to talk to you today about the media. People may not know this who don't live in the New York area. But Miranda Devine was right in the middle of the Hunter Biden laptop thing where the New York Post, to its credit, got the laptop, printed what was on it. And then the mainstream media, the corporate media, attacked the New York Post, saying it was all bogus. which those of us who are honest brokers of information knew was false.

And I think that the corrupt media knew it was false as well, but they didn't care. But anyway, you went through a long period of time where you were fighting these people, and then they finally admitted defeat and said, yeah, yeah, the New York Post had it right, blah, blah, blah. Do you see any improvement in those people who reported dishonestly about Hunter Biden? No. All they do is morph. You know, they never said that the New York Post got it right. They just seamlessly moved into, oh, yes, you know, the laptop is real and, oh, yes, you know, then it's used in a court of law as evidence. Oh, yes. But they never go back and revisit their own errors or correct them. They are so arrogant. I'm thinking particularly of the New York Times, which is, you know, all the New York. news that's fit to print, except anything that's damaging to the Democrats or might help Donald Trump. And they sort of set the agenda for all the newsrooms, not just in the United States, but around the world. And so that's the skewed perspective of America that's

transmitted. And it's through the eyes of the New York Times, which is not got a grasp on reality. And they haven't changed at all. But they don't want to grasp on reality. they're in business to promote a certain lifestyle, a progressive lifestyle, and that's what they want to do. You're an interesting person, to me anyway, because you worked in the media in Australia, I believe in Japan, in England, and in the United States. So you have a perspective of a worldwide. My theory, and I could be wrong, of course, is that we have the most corrupt media in the

free world right now. America, I mean, the BBC is pretty corrupt. But we're really bad now. Do you concur? No, not at all. I didn't actually work in Japan. I was a child. I grew up there. But look, I think that, I mean, I take Australia in England, they're dominated by the BBC and in Australia, the other government-funded equivalent state television called the ABC. And they are so dominate the rest of the media that they are completely untrammeled by any semblance of the truth. And they are incredibly partisan and basically peddled propaganda. Now, they're no different, I guess, from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, etc.

But at least in the United States, there are disparate voices. And those voices are getting stronger as the American people. people wake up to the fact that they've been lied to by those august established media organs and they look for alternate, you know, sources of news like Bill O'Reilly's No Spin Zone, like The New York Post and our new podcasts, like Joe Rogan even. I mean, there are lots of media voices. There's a study out today. We're going to report on tomorrow that the alternative news agencies have.

now surpassed, which is obviously true. But, you know, here's the rub on it. It isn't ideology that has sunk them, although that's a part of it. They're boring, Miranda. They're boring. Well, they know that. They're just because they're all parrots. They get their little, at a K Street every morning, they get their little talking points. Their editor, just gut them, okay? You say this, you say that, and if you don't want to say it, you're not working for us. And so these people go on there and they're like zombies. You don't learn anything. They're not seeking the truth. They couldn't care less. What they want to do is keep their own jobs. And on television, I made my name by having robust debate on the Fox News

channel. Now, all of them just bringing people who agree with everybody. Tell me more. You know, it's like we don't have fire anymore and people are going uh so i think that that's why because the social media is so much more lively and it gets to your pod force one so you're going into a sea of podcast this is not a podcast this is a broadcast here but you're going to a sea of it last question how are you going to make it different look i guess just the relationships that i've built up with um the cabinet members and president Trump, I guess they trust me. And I'm hoping to ask them questions that are obviously of the news of the day. But, you know, in my normal interviews with people, I'm looking for, you know,

a front page story, exclusive something on whatever is the hot topic. But this is a bit more relaxed. You have more time. I had 45 minutes with the president. And I just had an hour, an hour with Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. And, you know, it's just probing, I guess, what motivates them, what their desires are, what their background is, what drives them. They're all incredibly, you know, they don't get to these positions of power without being driven and unique people with a perspective on success and an ability to get success. That means that they have a lot of lessons for the rest of us. And look, also, many of them have, you know, personal lives that are not chaotic, that are pretty stable.

And how do they manage to do that? I'm interested in that when, you know, these powerful men and women, what drives them behind the scenes as well. All right. So part four, one is the new podcast. Well, anyway, if you get anything good, I mean, not good, but big, let us know. We'll throw your right on. We appreciate it.

Good luck with it. Thank you. Thanks so much, Bill. All right. U.S. gas prices expected to rise 10 cents in my town two days or stuff because of the Iran thing. And there's plenty of supply. So I don't expect it to be a burden, but the Trump administration is going to live and die on consumer prices. So we keep an eye on that.

The average today for price for a gallon of gas is $3.6. 16 cents. Cheapest Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, most expensive, California, Hawaii, and Washington. They slap onerous taxation. Okay, Fox News. So this is an interesting story. Jennifer Griffin, one of the best reporters in the country. I've known Jennifer for almost 30 years. And there is a guy out in California, an Afghan national named Saeed Nasar Naur, Nour. He was taken into custody by ICE, and he is a former translator for U.S. troops in Afghanistan during the war. And Jennifer's outraged.

She says, this should anger every American. Throw it on up there. All right. And then others are coming to Mr. Nouri's age saying, quote, this guy helped our troops. He hasn't broken a single law. He was doing everything right to seek asylum. And yet ICE threw him into detention anyway, the goal of handing him to that. the Taliban. I don't know about that last sentence, but there's some outrage here that the ICE

took this guy into custody. Here's what ICE says. So we're fair. Here's what ICE says. Okay. On June 12th, ICE officers arrested Sayy, Nassar at Nouri, Afghan National, entered the USA unvetted via the CBP, one app under the previous administration in 2024. There's nothing in his immigration records indicating he assisted the U.S. government in any capacity. All his claims will be heard by a judge and the Afghan refused persecution's law able to request asylum. Okay, but it's how are you incarcerating him? What are you doing? Obviously he's going to ask for asylum and his brother got it. Okay, his brother helped the U.S. too and, you know, he's on his way to be able to live here as a resident. Now, to me, if he's a

translator? If he translated for U.S. troops, you can't go back to Afghanistan. This is what I mean. I support ICE. I support the deportations of people who should not be here, mostly criminals, but there should be a review by Homeland Security in cases like these. You don't just strong-arm the guy and throw them in some tank. You see what I mean? And that's where I think Homeland Security can improve and should quickly. And we appreciate Jennifer Griffin pointing it out to us. Mexico, it's a narco state. It's not getting anybody.

It's getting worse. Claudia Scheinbaum, new president, seems to be afraid of the cartels who gunned down a Mexican mayor yesterday, Martha Laura Mendoza, a few days after killing Lillia Garcia Soto, another mayor, and the cartels are killed. killing local politicians at a record rate creating chaos in Mexico. And not only did they kill the women, these women, they kill their husbands, their children, everybody else. What does Claudia doing about it?

Nothing? The only way to solve this problem is to partner up with the USA, who's designated these cartels as terrorist groups. And Claudia won't do it. So these poor women trying to improve the country, country of Mexico, he's shut down. In the street, butter car. And cartels not that's going to happen to them. Who's going to investigate them? You, Claudia? Narco state, right to our south. Crazy. Smart live. Cannabis use linked to a double risk of heart

disease. New study finds. Told you. So this study is a compilation of data from 216 to 223. Okay? And it says, research is found compared to non-users, cannabis use is linked to a double risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, 29% higher risk for acute coronary syndrome, 20% higher for stroke. Okay?

I'm not surprised, are you? This is, oh, nothing wrong with marijuana? Oh, no. It's fine. Don't smoke Marlboroughs, but they don't want to talk on that duby. They call it that anymore. Go ahead. The worst decision in recent memory was legalizing marijuana.

You people who are smoking that stuff or taking the gummies or whatever the blank you're doing, you're going to pay. And kids, destroys them. Destroves them. You can't have an intoxicated child. on the streets here in new york crazy yeah they get some tax money out of it boy what a terrible terrible decision pot is not a benign substance either is vodka okay you're down in six shots of vodka all right hello liver but no you don't get any of that in the media oh no no we're

not going to criticize any legalization of pot oh no supreme court of oppose Tennessee's youth transgender care ban. State of Tennessee says, no, you are a minor, you cannot get blockers, surgeries, nothing. Went to the Supreme Court, they rule Wednesday, yesterday, 6 to 3, that Tennessee is the power to regulate this. So you'll see how the states now do it.

The three, of course, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson. the progressive crew. All right, yeah, we don't, yeah, seven years old, do you want a little puberty blocker? Sure, we don't care. Okay, that's a good win in Tennessee. The governor, there is Bill Lee. Congrats to you, Governor Lee.

You did the right thing, and I know states will follow, not California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii, but the same states. Final thought, I have a message of today on trusting people, and there's an article in the psychological bulletin that says, if you trust people, you're going to be happier, okay, and you'll prosper more. Hmm, I don't know. I don't want you to be cynical, and I don't want you to be isolated.

That'll make you unhappy, both of those things. But our new motto, and you may have noticed it, is trust. is earned. Trust is earned. You don't automatically trust people. In our society today, lying, stealing, scams, all of that far more prevalent than ever before in history. When I was growing up as a kid, the 50s and 60s, you lie, you steal. You get a lot of trouble. Now you ask any lawyer, perjury in court of law, out of control. Nothing happens to you.

You go up there, swear to tell the whole truth, then you lie your butt off. They won't do anything to you. You could steal $900 worth of stuff in California and you won't be punished. And the voters okayed it. So I have an example in my messages that they were my mother at the end of her life, I had to have 24-hour people in a house to care for her. Almost all of them stole from an old lady. So anyway, I trust a number of people. They've earned it. But other people that I did trust betrayed me. Same thing happened to you. I can guarantee it. Every human

being gets appreciated. It's the reason Judas Ascariad has a prominent place in the New Testament. Careful. Thanks for watching and listening to the News. We'll see on a Monday.
