Welcome to the No Spin News. Monday, June 17th, 2019, take your country back. Tomorrow, President Trump kicks off his re-election campaign. Orlando, Florida, 8 p.m. in a address that'll be carried. I know on Fox News will carry it. I think the others will carry it, but maybe they won't. It's at the Amway Center, 20,000. It'll be sold out. Trump, it'll be energetic on his game.

likely to say anything, I will report back to you. I'm going to get a transcript in addition of watching it. So I'm going to see the nuance, and I'll be able to on Wednesday, you know, deliver a pretty incisive analysis of his speech. I think we're going to have Bernie Goldberg on Wednesday, too, so it'll be a good show. Now, he's doing it, President Trump, for two reasons. He needs to raise money. You know, it's funny, because last time around, President Trump financed his own, campaign, not going to do it this time around. It's too expensive. So we're looking 500 million to a billion dollars. I mean, that is an incredible amount of money. And these politicians have to raise it if they want to be president. That's one of the reasons the campaign starts, you know,

18 months ahead of the vote. So the other reason is that Donald Trump is not the kind of guy to let any charges go unanswered. And it's easier for him to answer the Democrats' charges on the road than taking up time in the Oval Office. It's a psychological thing. Now, the mistake the president is making, and I don't know whether he'll change, but he should be using the power of the presidency to advance his own cause. So you don't have to reply. to Corey Booker, Corey Booker's got no shot. You know, you only have to reply, if you're the sitting president,

to something that's fairly significant. With Donald Trump, he goes small ball. Now, I know it amuses him to do it, tweeting and all that, but I'm not sure that's the right way to handle it. Now, a word, before we get into the meat of this, a word about the polls, do not believe the polls, not for the reason you think.

It's not that the polling is skewed toward the Democrats, it will be, but now the polling is basically, do you like Donald Trump or not? That's what these presidential polls are. Well, Bernie Sanders beating Donald Trump in Iowa by the, that's bull. He's not running. Bernie Sanders is not the nominee. And if you look at the methodology of the polling, it's twice as many Democrats slash independence as Republicans, twice as many. So there's no chance. Now, the media doesn't report the

methodology. It would never do that. And they want the outcome. They want everybody beating Donald Trump. So don't even bother with that until maybe after the fifth or sixth Democratic debate. and we're going to see who's got some traction on the Democratic sign. Okay, Iran. Now, this is serious. First is break. Here's something interesting. Glenn Beck launched Real Estate Agentsitrust.com for a very simple reason to help you sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

Selling or buying a home is very complicated and difficult to navigate. So they chose agents with a long track record of success. Market value for your home cannot be done by calculation. It just can't. It takes years of expertise to evaluate your market to price your home and to sell quickly for top dollar. Home sellers must genuinely like the agent they choose to trust their home to, and that's why Beck and his team select agents that are fans of his, like you are. So get moving with realestateagents.itrust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. So the Pentagon is basically getting ready to hit them, militarily. Get all the carriers in place, the troops in place, land forces, getting ready to hit them. Now, they're not going to be an invasion of Iran, which is Persia, big country.

Not going to happen. but there could be air action, they wipe out their Navy, bomb their nuclear facilities, whatever it may be airfields, but it would take a direct attack from Iran on U.S. forces. Even if that happened, 25% of the American people and the media wouldn't buy it unless they see videotape and then they'd say it was doctored. You're never going to get a consensus. But if President Trump and the Pentagon believed that a... Iran is attacking U.S. forces. There will be military action. Here's the Secretary of State.

Roll it. It is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Amman today. This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. All right. You'll remember Colin Powell, though, convincing the world that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Secretary of State, you've got to be careful. However, the two tankers that were hit in the Gulf of Oman were flying under Panama and Marshall Islands flags. Panama, a lot of

ships register there because there's very little taxes. Marshall Islands, I think, is the same thing. Anyway, they were hit by mines, and according to the Secretary of State, nobody else has a capacity to do that in the area.

I mean, usually a blabber mouth. I can answer almost anything. Because why is the women the U.S. soccer team so good? And the men, they don't do that well in international competition.

I don't know. I know soccer a little bit. It's not my favorite sport, but I know what's going on out there. I lived in England for a year. Those people are nuts over soccer are there. Okay? But I don't know. Why the women are so good.

aren't. Now, the women, I think they learned a lesson against Thailand. We scolded them for over-celebrating and rubbing it into a poor team. They won 3-0 in Chile, beat them over in France. And now they play on Thursday, Sweden, their favorite, U.S. women's team is favorite. I think they could go to the final round. I think they could. I hope they behave. Don't get too taken with yourself. I know that, what was that girl's name? I don't know. It begins with an M last name. She doesn't like America, whatever. Doesn't like Trump.

But, you know, you're representing us. We want people to like you. We want you to win. We want you people to like you while you're winning. So I think it's all straightened out over there, and I hope so. I'm rooting for them. Go U.S. women soccer team.

We'll see you tomorrow.
