lobbing missiles back and forth at each other. And then Trump takes to truth again at 3.50 a.m. Israel, period. Do not drop those bombs. If you do, it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home now. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. And I said he's manifesting

peace. He's writing it on a note and putting it under his pillow. The manifestation girlies. Israel is not going to attack around. All plans will turn around. They're just doing a plane wave.

All right. So this episode's going to be all about the latest with the nation of Iran. They're calling it the 12-day war, but it may be more. It may be more. 12-day war just really rolls off the time. Some people would love for it to be, hey, I think everyone would agree for it to just, let's say, no more days of war. how about we bump it up to 14 days and that way we could call a Fortnite War

so Gen Alpha and Gen Z is really, then they could really be like they would, can you imagine so many heads would explode? Or just, uh, we have a Fortnite War. We have mass enlistment in the military. Mom, I'm joining the Fortnite War. The Army's giving me skins

for free. I don't have to use your credit card anymore. I'm doing dances. They're letting us pick our own skins. Oof. Oh God. Do you imagine? Can you imagine? Fuck, getting and throwing a grenade and then doing a fortnight dance. Ugh.

And then just getting picked off. That's what war will be like. That's what war will be like. We're sending all there. Teabagging the enemy. It won't be like that at all. No. No, it'll just be drones. Where were you when you found...

Were you at the wedding when you found out? I was... Brother. I was at a crowded bar in Montclair, New Jersey. Shout out, New Jersey. While some guy was a gorgeous place. Montclair's so nice. Claire's very nice. Good for you. There was a gentleman singing, I believe it was

Nickelback. He was karaokeing Nickelback. This was post-wedding. Yes. We're all at a bar called Six Points Brewery. Huge shout out to Six Points Brewery. Some of the best nachos I have ever had. You must have found out kind of late then if it was... Yeah, because I'm watching this guy singing Nickelback. And then up on the TV, where the lyrics are, right next to it is Trump doing the broadcast. And I'm like, What the hell is going? And I read the Kairon and I'm like, what the fuck? It was wild.

And that's how many of us found out. And then my friend Jessica ran up and goes, we just bombed. I ran. And I went, whoa, I know I see. And she goes, isn't this fucked up? And I said, yeah. And people were like filming the guy singing and then panning over to the thing. Because what a contrast, you know.

It's about as contrasty as it gets. where were you? Can you tell? Yeah, it was such a, it was such a shame because we were riding so high. I had a great New York City day. What's a shame? I woke up, got breakfast with friends, then went to a canvas for Zoron in Washington Heights, came back down and ate something real quick and showered,

and then we went to go see O'Mary on Broadway, which was really great. It was like one of the last shows Cole's doing. And it was me, Sarah, her sister, and Phil. We all laughed her asses off. We got a drink with friends. And then Sarah's friend had just opened a restaurant. And so we were like, let's go. It's going to be so great.

And we're having the time of our lives. They're like... What kind of restaurant? An Italian place. And they're pouring us wine. And we're not even looking at our phones. But then we were trying to remember some, like, actor's name or something. And they were like, someone just look it up. And I was like,

all right, you guys figured out, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I come back from the bathroom. And they were like, when we pulled the phone out, we saw we bombed the run. And we're all like, no. How do we get back to the vibe? And then for the rest, people would just be quiet for a second. And we'd be like, okay, come on. Well, let's forget about it for a second. Yeah. I mean, there's only so much you can do. Well, so we're going to be talking about that, the timeline. Operation Midnight Hammer, they called it. I'm, you're going to have to forgive me here, but I'm going to geek out on the B2 bummer because I like airplanes. And, uh, please just give me this.

Sort of. Um, and then we're going to talk about, uh, all the insane crap that, I mean, more than usual Trump, Donald Trump said fuck on TV. It is. It's, it's, It is funny. It's like... And I liked it. I loved that clip. It's not like I'm a prude or anything, but you're like, wow. The president...

It's the first time a president has said... They made the president curse. Do you see what you did Iran and Israel? You made him curse. You made him say fuck on TV. C-SPAN, which is... Was it C-SPAN? I'm sure it's...

That's a grandma diaper channel, for God's sake. I'm sure it was broadcast on all kinds of things because it was... Oh, yeah. It's got to be the... It's historic. It's the first time when... I spit a bunch. first time sitting

sitting U.S. President in this case he was standing I mean he wasn't sitting Is that confirmed Are you just saying that? I'm just saying that Okay yeah I'm sure they're I don't

I feel like there'd be clips of like somebody else Saying fuck on TV like that Fuck Obama smoking a cigarette going Fuck Fuck I don't I don't

Godaffy Fuck I can't say it too many times But so we're going to talk about that I feel like you're already pushing it to the limit there Push it to the limit And he follows it up with a copyright strike.

That's probably what they were listening to in the B2 bummer. One of the B2 bombers. But we're going to be talking about that. All the crazy stuff that Trump was truthing. Meanwhile, it's just been a, it's just a wild time. Also, just real fast. The hotel that I was staying at for the wedding in New Jersey, they had a candy wall full of free candy, full of free candy, full,

Life-size candy. Not fun size. Not fun size. Is that what they call them? That's what I call it. Oh, okay. I mistakenly called it that just now, and I'm just running with it. Okay, great.

I grabbed so much candy. I feel fatter because I've eaten so much candy. I didn't want to say it, but you look bad. Thank you. No, it's okay. I understand. They had 40 different candies. You counted?

I didn't have to. It was like six across and like seven or eight deep. It's like 46. At least. Yeah. Yeah. Man. Obscure candy, all that stuff.

But anyway, I'd digress. Well, I think it would be 42 at least if you said six by seven. Six by seven. Seven times seven is 49. Seven times six is 42. Right. What did I say, 46? No, you said 40.

Well, you said 46. I don't know. Someone shared with us, I'm sure other people have seen it because I feel like it's gotten a little bit of a little bit of a bump. That Asian professor? No. Oh, go on. Did someone share that with us? Someone, someone shared it. It was a, it was this guy.

Yeah, I think, actually. Who shared it with us? Luke. Someone, someone put it like on Slack or something. I don't know, but it's a, it's a professor who predicted this like a year ago. Oh, well, either way. Seymour Hirsch or Cy Hirsch, a real old journalist. He has a substack now, but someone sent us in his,

Um, his post was if, I think it was on Friday, basically being like, I'm hearing from the intel, from the intel I'm getting, there's just, we're, we're going to strike this weekend. It's happening and it's happening over the weekend because they don't want, uh, because they don't want to spook the market. To spook the market. Yeah, I think I actually have that part. I have been told that the White House has signed off in an all out bombing campaign and are on, but the ultimate targets, the centrifuges buried at least 80 meters below the surface at Fordo will, as of the writing not be struck until the weekend, the delay has come at Trump's insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday. Trump took issue on social media this morning with a Wall Street Journal report that said he had decided on the attack on Iran, writing that he had yet to decide on a path forward. It's the freaking weekend, baby, I'm about to drop bombs on Iran. That is, that is Trump. Hey, everybody. We want to take a quick break to thank a sponsor of our show. We love them. We wear them. It's chubbies. We've been waiting all year for this one. It's finally here. Summers here. We both get to put our chubby shorts on. Because they make us look good. They make us look good. They make us feel good. You should see a meal in these things. My God. We get to be comfy. I remember actually one time seeing him in the shorts and I went, are those those chubby shorts? Those look incredible on you. You got pissed. Yeah. And I was mad because I didn't have it.

them. And then I got them. And they're great. They are comfy, casual, and built for life. They're the chubby's original stretch shorts. They can live on your legs, man. They're available in long, short, and way short, like Emil wears them. They come with a relaxed fit, elastic way band, no fuss design. These are the kind of shorts that you'll forget you're wearing until you get an onslaught of high fives and compliments. It really is true. That's exactly what happens to me. I put these things on. I forget I'm even wearing them. Everyone's like, where did you get those? Yeah, because it makes his beefy legs are really good. So, Chubbies.

Chubbies. So you pair those shorts with the Chubbies performance polo and you're good to go, baby, for a brunch, backyard party or accidentally crashing a wedding. And let's be real. No ad read is complete without a shout out to the classic lined swim trunks. Those look good too. They took everything annoying about old school swimsuits like that scratchy mesh liner and replaced it with a soft, supportive boxer brief liner that keeps you dry, comfortable, and chafe free with quick dry fabric, four-way stretch, and great print. that bring the heat. Whether you're jumping into the ocean napping on a beach chair or somehow ending up at a rooftop bar, these trunks have your back.

That was Trump. Trump was bopping to R. Kelly. Who's out of, who his lawyer is trying to get him out of jail right now because he's claiming that the guards are conspiring to poison him. And they're like, he needs to be out. He needs to be at home like house arrest, please. He's having a tough time in there. He's having a tough time in there.

So, yeah, that was Max from Stockwoods. Oh, right. Yes. Yeah, that was fascinating. Which, you know, stressed me out, but hey. Yeah, I saw that. And, you know, as I've been saying and I've been calling for all-time highs, just if we're going to talk about the stock market real fast, nothing matters. And I know that it's a meme now to say nothing ever happens. And I mean that in a good way in the sense that nothing's going to, like, take down the market or anything.

But when it was happening, my neighbor was texting me and he was terrified. He's like, what's going to happen? I said, don't worry. Nothing's going to happen. it's going to blow over. Wait, when the bombing was happening, he was texting you? Yeah. It was like midnight Jersey time.

And I said he was worried about us getting bombed. He was worried about missiles coming over here. I was like, they don't have that kind of capability. Don't worry, please. Also, if it was really something really, really that we should worry about, Bitcoin would be dropping because it was Saturday night. Obviously, the markets are closed. And I was like, Bitcoin's hardly reacting.

It's like the only proxy we have for the market right now. don't worry. But so, quick to end Bitcoin now ramping back up. Everything's, we're less than a percentage of point away from all-time highs, which is... Well, the markets, if anything, stoked about, you know, we're avoiding... Everything is bullish. I mean, I would say in this case... I mean, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves because we're going to explain what happened.

But in this case, if we are avoiding the straight-of-Hormuz being closed... If we're avoiding oil shocks, if we're avoiding a massive war pulling in a bunch of people, I'd be bullish on that. You know, 20% of the world's oil moving through. Did you see the U-turns that a couple of those big old tankers made? No. There's, there were a couple. It's wild how much you can see publicly, ships, airplanes, and we'll get to that

because that played a big part in this operation. Oh, I watched it over... Qatari airspace, all the planes just... Well, so, all right, let's get into the timeline. Israel and Iran exchanging salvos of missile attacks for the last week. They're striking one another. They're threatening each other. They're going on Twitter.

They're basically, they're shit posting on each other. Iran's saying, like, you're about to get fucked up. And Israel's like, you're going to get more fucked. And they just keep doing that. and people keep dying and bombs keep dropping and then Thursday of last week Bloomberg gets an anonymous

sources saying that U.S. officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran and then this is where things start to go crazy. People start to see this is what I'm talking about

with everything is public. Flight radar, the app where you can track planes. People start to see military planes, strato tankers, tanker airplanes for refueling fighter jets and shit. Like a dozen of them or a couple dozen of them, just starting to go from the East Coast heading over to Europe. Which makes the question, why can we see that?

And I read this article on flight radar. It's because the military wants you to be able to see that for some reason. They can turn off their transponders, but they're not. You didn't read the rest to tell us why? Yeah, it was just, I think, probably in part because of this diversion. Wait, what diversion? You didn't hear about Operation Midnight Hammer and the big diversion? No, no, but why did they want us to see it?

Just because everybody, they want everybody to be able to see it for whatever reason, in part to maybe for, there's a visual of a bunch of the tankers going. Boom, just heading over there. audio listener it's just it's just a radar looking thing of just i would assume it's just uh i would assume it's just good practice for when if you have a bunch of planes in the air for people to have the information about where these planes are stuff especially yeah but if it's the air force but they have to coordinate with civilian airspace and everything true i would think that they could do that in um more discreet ways or like i i have no idea but

Or like the fact once they get to a certain point they can turn off that stuff. But I think it's so that they're, I have no idea why actually. But it's, I mean, it's anybody's guess because I mean, they don't have to broadcast it, but they are. And meanwhile, as that's happening, Trump said publicly that he was going to give Iran two weeks to negotiate, to return to the negotiation table, which was apparently part of the diversion so that Iran thought, that they would have time. And being cryptic about, they're asking him what he's going to do and he's going, I don't know. Nobody knows. Maybe I'll drop a bomb. Maybe I won't. Maybe I won't. Nobody knows what I'm going to do. Not even me. I don't have a plan. But

sometimes, and somehow it all works out for me. It truly does. It's mind boggling. But I, well, whatever. We'll talk about it after. What? Like, it does appear that it's working out for him in this moment, but I don't. I don't.

Do you think that, justice will swing, the pendulum of justice will swing heavy back against him at some point? I mean, honestly, I hope not, because, I mean, if justice is, uh, if, I hope that everything holds. And, and, but it, I just mean generally, more broadly, like, the amount of luck that this man has had his whole life. I don't know. He's like, get his dick shot off live on television. 80 and he seems to be, uh, Teflon, but, but it just, at this moment, it seems like, he's coming out a real winner here, which is insane. I don't think, yeah, but I just don't think this ceasefire will hold.

It feels very fragile. I don't think they've solved anything. There's no deal in place. It feels very like. House of cards. It feels very similar to, you know, I mean, the funniest thing about this is like, another way he's winning is everyone stopped talking about all the other stuff. But like, it's very similar to the trade war.

What? ice stuff. But the trade, like, there's no deals in place. None. Markers doesn't care. It's priced in. Right. But everyone's just acting like,

we've all moved on. That's the miracle of modern. I don't know. Everybody's broken brains. But we'll get more into that. I just, yeah. Well, so then we had Operation Midnight Hammer. That's what they named it.

And this is a, this is, a map of it for the audio listener, I mean, you're not missing much. It's just a, it's a children's cartoon-looking ass map of the world. Very, very battleship that shows seven

B-2 bombers. It's very, like, I don't know, just thinking about the army being like some guy... It's the Air Force. And then we're going to go over there. You guys go over here. Which is really fun. So this, this, just when I felt like the military, America's

military is kind of like janky and held together with some strings and tape. The amount of coordination, planning, and just they had to perfectly execute this in part because when they were approaching the Middle East in that airspace, the B2 bombers had to remain stealthy. And that involves very little radio communication. and they had to refuel and just everything that was involved was so precise. It's anyway, I'm not making a judgment call on whether it was good or bad. I'm just saying it's impressive. It's impressive.

That's it. So, Saturday, June 21st, Trump announces that U.S. bombers had attacked. Let's pull up that truth post because it's wild. He said, we have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow. I'm butchering these, Natanz and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordo. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American warriors.

There is not another military in the world that could have done this. Now is the time for peace. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Bill Ackman tweeting, like, is there any, is there any, is there any, is like, I think, thank you for attention on this matter is my new favorite phrase, like cry emoji, I love this. Retire, bitch. Hey, Bill Ackman, retire bitch. Wait, sorry, can you bring that up one more time? Just the, the truth post. That's the sound of Bill Ackman's sucking on his booty.

I mean, just only, only Trump could. A full payload of. I know. And then in the next breath, say, now is the time for peace. Now is the time. I think someone, I think it's a tweet I saw, but just like, you know, walking into a bar, punching a guy in the face and being like, now is the time for peace. It's just like. It's the time for peace. But I do think he's right. If you go back, I do, I think he's right when he's, you know, there's not another military in the world that could have done this. No, no other military in the world at all. And this is, this is what we do. We say, hey, it's our way or the highway. Now's the time for peace. What are you going to do?

I didn't know this. This GbU-57 M-O-P, which stands for Massive Ordinance Penetrator. These are the bunker buster.

The bunker buster. Sounds like a gas station boner pill. 30,000 pound bombs. This is the first time we've used them. I did not know that. There's only like 20 in existence. And they're not that expensive to make, which is. is also perplexing. It's like, they just

built 20 and they're like, oh, we'll need these one day, I guess. I thought they cost them like 20 million bucks or something. To make one? Yeah. And then in the grand scheme. You're talking about like... It was like 400 million to develop them. Right. And then like 20 million. I don't know. That sounds like a lot of fucking money. I bet we could use that money in other ways.

I fully agree, but I'm just surprised. I would think that they would have a ton. I'm just surprised that there hasn't been a use... Because I feel like we've heard about these bunker buster bombs. I think it's because they have... I think it's because they had smaller ones is probably what I'm thinking about. Yeah, where does it say?

But we've had them for a while, yeah, because Netanyahu has basically been begging for these bunker busters for probably 20 years at least, if not more. Well, so it was also the longest B-2 spirit mission since our post-9-11 attack on Afghanistan. This Operation Midnight Hammer consisted of... Wow, it really is the early 2000s again. It really is. We did it, guys. We got Bush... We went back in time like everybody wanted.

We got Bush 2, or Bush 2 again, I guess. Bush W again. We got Bush 3. The operation included the use of 125 aircraft, which was consisting of 7 B2 bombers, a ton of fighters for escorts, dozens of tankers. And yeah, they're...

I was geeking out on the B2 last night and refreshing my memory on this thing. But there were only 21 of them ever built. They were introduced in 1989. Part of it was built here in Southern California in a little city called Pico Rivera. Huge shout out to Pico Rivera. I know it very well.

But the way that they had to build it back then, I mean, it's just the same as they would today, I guess. But I just always love the skunk works type of shit. It's all secret. And they had to, I believe they refurb it. like some shit, an auto manufacturing plant or something and they had to totally revamp it and stuff.

They had to set up front companies to buy the various materials so that nobody... It's just so... It's interesting how the... When the government wants to, it can come together and make all these things happen

to coordinate a massive undertaking. They never had any trouble setting the entire industry into, you know... Oh, yeah. War. Oh, here we go. Here's the bunker. Buster thing. Scroll up. What does that say right there? The missile costs over $500 million for

the U.S. Army to develop. It was built to specifications that would allow it to penetrate deep enough into the Fordo plant to destroy. There were two people in each B-2, and they're in there for 36 hours. They have a cot in the back where they can sleep. They have a microwave where they can microwave their meals. They do have a toilet, obviously, but it's like a chemical toilet. I don't know how the hell that works. I don't know what a chemical toilet. Is that a, is that, imagine it's just like... Is that code for port-a-potty? You would know. I would imagine it's just, yeah. So they got a little port-a-potty in the back. And it's just incredibly cool that the radar cross-section of a B-2 is 1.1 square feet. So just like, it's the tiniest thing. It's

got radar-absorbing paint, anti-reflective paint. And anyway, the diversion. So on June 15th, Like I said, there were people noticing a bunch of these Air Force tankers flying east. But then on Saturday, on June 21st, people saw a bunch of tankers start out from Missouri. They were flying west toward the home of the B-2 fleet, which is at Whiteman Air Force Base. This is a picture of... Nice name. You told me we got hit by White Man? there there's all those tankers going west um and then some of them returned to the base

and then a second set launched of a second set of uh tankers launched from california at Travis Air Force base uh with some B2 bombers and they all were going west and while that happened a couple of them just quietly split off and went east without anybody noticing and do you remember how when bin Laden was killed, there was that guy who tweeted from Abadabod who said like it was like three in the morning. He said helicopter activity going on in Abadabod, really unusual. I don't remember this. It was like there was a guy. It broke on Twitter. I mean, the most top secret mission like of all time. And this guy noticed on Twitter and was tweeting about it and people started noticing. Similarly, there was a guy in Missouri who said, I just saw nine B2 bombers fly

overhead. Super weird. I live in Missouri. So nine of those 20 B2 bombers dropped 14 of those existing 20 bunker buster bombs. We only got six left. We better we better be sure we don't have any bunkers.

No kidding. That should have destroyed all the... And then they had submarines launching. It basically was it was the plot of Top Gun 2. Did you see Top Gun 2? Did you see Top Gun 2? I did. It's like the same thing. I know a lot of people have pointed this out. It's basically a

top gun 2. And what's wild is Iran, because you remember in Top Gun 2, sorry, spoilers, Tom Cruise and Mustache Face, what's his name, go into the enemy's base and they steal an F-14 Tomcat, which is what Tom Cruise flew in the first one. The only nation that is still operating F-14 Tomcats is Iran. Oh, I thought it was pretty clear that they were like, it was Iran was the stand-in. Oh, I thought it was, I assumed it was Russia in that movie. I think in the first one. Yeah, and the second one, I just was like, oh, it's some fucking, it's Russia.

But yeah, so then they fooled everybody and it basically said to the world, like, look at what we're still capable of doing. It said to Iran, I mean, it was like a big slap in the face just to everybody. We could launch all the way from our shit, all the way from our bases, we can travel all the way across the world,

drop some bombs and come all the way back without ever even being seen smelled heard everything yeah but it is unclear about how successful it was because right uh it's either we have no idea i mean basically these bombs go i don't know 200 feet down into the ground and and blow the thing up uh we have no real proof that these things are damaged or completely dismantled. There's all kinds of things like nuclear watchdog says

no radiation leak in Iran. Basically, Raphael Mariano Grossey, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said there's been no increase in off-site radiation levels after the latest attacks in Iran. The IAEA says that

they're not being allowed to go in and assess the damage so and nobody knows even if they even if they are completely dismantled Iran said that they had moved their entire uranium payload prior to this happening which why wouldn't you I mean this guy Trump basically has been telegraphing this they've all been telegraphing each other he can't I mean this is the first time we've ever had a president who just like cannot stop tweeting about yeah what's going to happen I mean he said like if evacuate to run. Exactly. And they're like,

why don't we evacuate our uranium? And that's what they're, we have no, we have no, we have no, we've no proof of this. But they're saying, we moved it. They didn't, they didn't set us back at all. And, and reporting today, I saw in both the financial times and the New York Times that at best they set them back, they set the nuclear program back a couple months. oh yeah i saw that um well j d vance was saying that the stockpile piggybacking off what you said he did say that the stockpile of enriched uranium is still intact and enough for to make 10 nuclear warheads uh but yeah

he says that they we've destroyed their while they still have the uranium they have no capacity to manufacture these for a long long time but like you said it's anybody's guess um yeah leading to a lot of funny headlines like in the financial times. Where is Iran's uranium? Search continues for 400 kilograms stock file. Hey, I hope you guys find it. Honestly, it's also just very reminiscent of when we are children. You know, we're going to find these WMDs. By the way, quick shout-out. You guys should, I highly recommend this movie called The Manhattan Project. John Lithgow stars in it. I can't remember who else, but it's a movie from like the late 80s where some genius kid makes a nuclear bomb just like cobbles it together. It's really, really fun.

Did you see him talking about why things are going to be different this time? This is a really beautiful... Oh, yeah. Oh, it's ridiculous. I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents and now we have a president who actually knows. how to accomplish America's national security objectives. So this is not going to be some long-drawn-out thing. We've got in. We've done the job of setting their nuclear program back.

We're going to now work to permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years, and that is what the president has set out to do. Simple principle. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon that has animated American policy over the past 130 days. It's going to continue to be a driving force of our policy in the Middle East for the next three and a half years. He really does have kissable lips. Look at those things. Jesus Christ.

I just, I mean, look, this time it's going to be different. Those presidents were stupid, but we got a smart one now. The other president's dumb. Look, I know they tried to do the exact same thing, but those guys were dumb. This guy who wants to do the exact same thing is smart. Well, so the top-down marching order seemed to be emphasizing that this was about, because Hegg-Seth came out on, uh, secretary defense, Pete Hegg-Seth on Sunday came out and said, this wasn't about wiping out

this wasn't about a regime change this is about wiping out their nuclear program and then Vance says the same thing we're just we're not going in and trying to change the regime which would lead to a long drawn out quagmire that we found ourselves in before no no no no this is simply about

but if you listen to Trump and he says it's not politically correct to use the term regime change in quotes but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again. Why wouldn't there be a regime change? MIGA!

Oh, right. He tweeted M-I-G-A. Miga. Make it run great again. This is... Look, it is nice having a smart one this time, I will say. I mean, truly. We had dumb presidents before, but now we've had a smart one trying it, and I think it's going to be great. Meanwhile,

foreign minister, Iran's foreign minister, Abbas, I'm going to butcher this. Do you know how to pronounce it, Arachi? Arachi? I'm not going to try that one. Abbas, Arashi. I'll just Arashi said the United States had crossed a big red line and said, basically, Arashi said, you fucked up the United States. Guess who I'm going to go talk to? Putin. We'll see how Russia likes that. And I guess like nothing happened. Basically, Iran has no friends right now because the ones

who have been supporting Iran kind of on paper in principle, China and Russia, are not stepping up in meaningfully backing them they are like I said they are kind of on paper being like yeah this wasn't good but like that what does that mean no military support yeah there was talks of like i saw some like uh frantic reporting of like um medvedev and russians are going to give them nuclear warheads to to bring this to an end and all this stuff is it's like it feels like throughout this whole thing as everyone's trying to scare me into thinking like iran is coming to my house to kill me or whatever. They are.

That everyone is exercising restraint except for... To big two. America and Israel. Yeah. Right. I think... And as we get into their response to all this and everything, all the reporting leads us to believe, which it seems like has been confirmed,

that even in their response to this bombing, it was... They notified Qatar and America about it. all bombs except for one that was not a threat were intercepted I don't know at every step of this they're like you need to be afraid of these guys

yeah Iran I mean Iran was downplaying all the damage they said they basically nothing was which some are speculating the reason that they're downplaying the damage is so that they can save face and not have to respond because if they can say

they didn't even do anything then there's no expectation for them to respond but they did respond there but in a similar way where it's like we're not trying to invoke any we have to do this

because we don't want to look weak and whatever so we have to respond in some way we're going to let you know where we're hitting you guys are going to have plenty of time to intercept it all yeah no one's going to be killed

especially no American service and nobody did get killed no no Qatar Nobody was hurt. Nobody was killed when Iran struck a base, a United States base in Qatar. Also, I think it's very funny. There were some frantic tweeting and communication going on from some of the GCC, the Gulf Cooperation countries. They were rushing to emphasize that the United States did not fly over them to get to Iran,

which would kind of implicate them. Right. Yeah, you could fly over our shit. So they didn't want to be involved. They didn't want to get roped in because nobody wants to get roped in. I would have been like, they flew over me, but those fuckers were stealthy. But they, we did not know, okay? We didn't know.

So what I found most disturbing and upsetting was Senator Lindsey Graham was saying that he had advised Trump to do this. It seems like Lindsey Graham was the one really whispering in his ear to get this done. Oh, there's a lot of people calling for this. I mean, Bill Ackman that came out and thanked him for this. I mean, there's... But I think Lindsey Graham was like, the big one. Because he was saying, we need to do this to reset our relationship with the world. To show the world that we are still big and strong and definitive and steadfast in our resolve.

And it'll repair our reputation after that, after pulling out of Afghanistan and what a big mess that was that America is still a force to contend with. And it seems like Trump listened to. I think you're really going to like this. Tucker Carlson's been doing a lot of, it pains me to say this, has been doing a lot of good reporting, asking a lot of good questions, and I think Ben's going to want to see

the answer to this question. Have you noticed a like a huge percentage of war-crazed Republican senators are secretly gay? What is that? Are there? Yeah. Like, what is the ones who are secret about it?

Are they? Yeah. Are there? Yeah. What is the ones who are secret about it? I don't really know if you want people with, like, truly unsettled dark personal lives with power. Do you? No.

He's so good at that. He's so good. He's been on an absolute pair. He's just so good. Whoa, he's saying Tom Cotton is gay. No, no. This is probably a TikTok edit. Well, yeah, but I think that these people are, whoever edited this is alleging that.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. I don't think it's the same. I don't think that's from Tucker Carlson's team. I think... No, no, of course. But just the way that he's like, I don't think that someone should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Do you? He phrases it in such a way and then asks that, do you? So that you have no choice but to be like, damn, yeah, I guess you're right. I don't think closeted gay guys should be sending us to war.

Do you? Clearly they've got unresolved issues. Clearly they're gay. Clearly they've got something going on. It's making them maybe want to be crazy. Maybe we want to start a war. Maybe it's because...

they have unresolved feelings about being gay. And then Matt Walsh has to go. Yeah, I guess so. Are they? Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep.

They're gay. It's just saddled fact. But yeah, I don't think these, I think these people like Lindsay Graham, they've learned no lessons. They genuinely do believe this is good for them. I don't know. With all of this, again, so much of it mirrors the trade negotiation stuff where I think if anything, it just hampers our position in the world, right?

Where, I mean, they were at the negotiating table. They were trying to use diplomacy. He gave him two weeks, and then he was just like, actually, you know what? Fuck you. I mean, this is the second time. It's been escalated in just the... And if anything, I don't know. I'm worried that this makes it a more dangerous situation.

I think it probably shows to many countries that, hey, maybe we do need a, maybe we do need a bomb. You know, I can see the way North Korea doesn't get messed with. They have a nuclear weapon. They did not commit to decommissioning that. Look what happens to every other country who does.

Look at Libya. Look at Ukraine. Look at anyone who said, sure, yeah, we'll come into the fold. We'll get rid of our. our nuclear program. Yeah. And I think all we, honestly,

even I think Iran might be like, why don't we just sprint to make a weapon at this point? I mean, to quote the bad guy from the Incredibles, when everybody is super, nobody will be. Truly. I mean, at this point, why would you not say like this is the only way to deter

from being constantly mad, man. Mutually assured destruction. Well, so this gets into what I'm actually afraid of, which is Iran has said that there will be, quote, everlasting consequences and that they reserve all options to respond, which does make me worried about like, you know, sleeper cell type. I mean, I put it on my, I hate sounding like such a millennial here, but like my bingo card for the last couple of years. You're worried about sleeper cells? Yeah. And where?

In America. Yeah. I'm absolutely. I think that's a very valid concern. concern. I don't. I'm not the only one. I'm not. No, I've seen that a lot. And I'm just like, I don't know. It just reminds me of post-9-11, you know, anthrax, all this stuff. Well, yeah, but there were also a lot of, you don't hear as much about the plots that were thwarted in that time. There were, fuck, man, I wish I could remember the one. There were a couple guys in New York who, but yeah, I mean, that just, if that's true, that's just goes to my point. I don't think any of this has made us safer. Yeah. You know, I think that's not necessarily something I'm afraid of, but if that, if there's valid reporting, like, then yeah, I don't know how this has made us safer. Um, and that's, you know, someone,

someone posted a thing. I was looking at some of the comments about like, you know, you guys got this way wrong. You need to listen to. And I am curious. I don't, I don't want to not listen to anybody who's on the other side of me, I'm curious what people are saying. And they were like, you've got to listen to Scott Galloway on Raging Moderates. I didn't know what that was,

so I looked it up. Raging moderates. And I listened to his take. With him and Jessica Tarlob. Yeah. I found it unpersuasive to say, I mean,

look, this guy's just got a very different view of the world. He, um, he called himself before, you know, he prefaced it all with saying, I'm a warhawk.

And he called himself before, called himself a raging Zionist and a... He said he's a warhawk? Mm-hmm. And that he believes that all of this has made the world a safer place. I just, I disagree that's okay, but I... Scott Galloway, come on the show. Yeah, no hate.

I just, we have clearly very different views on this. But yeah, I don't think... Can we pull up these, let's pull up some of these truths as you're... You don't think what? I don't think we've made the world a safer place. Absolutely not. Speaking of Medvedev, Trump trothed this, which was really funny. Did I hear former president Medvedev from Russia casually throwing around the N-word?

Nuclear. And saying that he and other countries would supply nuclear warheads to Iran. Did he really say that or is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that and if confirmed, please let me know immediately. The N-word should not be treated so casually. I can't even finish the rest of that. So then out of nowhere, he yesterday, three days ago for you guys, he truths out that there's been a ceasefire.

We were on a call together when this happened. And we were very confused. Two grown men trying to parse what exactly this means. The president of the United States means. He said, congratulations to everyone, huge caps. It has been fully agreed by and between Israel, and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now

when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress final missions for 12 hours at which point the war will be considered ended officially Iran will start the ceasefire and upon the 12th hour Israel will start the ceasefire and upon the 24th hour an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world.

Gotcha. During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate

both countries, Israel and Iran on having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should be called the 12-day war. This is a war that could have gone on

for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. God bless Israel. God bless Iran. God bless the Middle East. God bless the United States of America. and God bless the world.

About time somebody says, God bless the world. Stop making it so, Mary. And then he followed it up with... But can anyone make sense of this? In approximately six hours from now... I don't think we can't. Four 12 hours. What?

Four 12 hours? Yes. It will have ended. And upon the 12th hour... Yeah. It's like a logic problem. It's like an L-Sat problem. meanwhile he then then obviously they they keep lobbing missiles back and forth at each other

and then Trump takes to truth again at 350 a.m. And he wrote all caps, Israel period. Do not drop those bombs. If you do, it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home now. Donald J. Trump president of the United States. It is. And you had a great take. Well, because there was a follow up. He said, Israel is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around. and nobody head home. All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran. Nobody will be hurt.

The ceasefire is in effect. Thank you for the attention on the matter, Donald Daytrop. And I said he's manifesting peace. You got to, you know, we're here in LA. Yeah, we're here in L.A. We know about... He's writing it on a note and putting it under his pillow. The manifestation girlies.

Israel is not going to attack around. All plans will turn around. They're just doing a plane wave. They're just doing a plane wave. It's just a classic plane wave. What is it is not going to turn around? a fucking plane wave is it when the wing the wing tip you can you can tip the wings to to wave like that or was he meaning meaning like waving from the fucking cockpit look every foreign policy nerd

knows about the plane wave it's when you uh you make the president think you're gonna attack but you just don't know a plane wave oh sir we've been authorized to do a plane wave this isn't a bombing run we're just going to go do a quick plane wave turn right back around get refield and uh head back home to base that's all right with you and then And let's finally play the clip of Trump saying the F-W. The big beautiful clip. It's too good. Because Iran violated the peace agreement and the ceasefire agreement.

Do you believe that Iran is still committed to the peace? Yeah, I do. They violated, but Israel violated it too. Are you questioning if Israel was committed to? Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour

and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land. I'm not happy about that. You know what? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't

know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that? I love it, man. I love that. I really like that. They have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing. I don't think he knows what the fuck he's doing. That's the thing, man. I don't think anybody

knows what the fuck. I don't think he knows what the fuck he's doing and he's I trip out on this sometimes. You know, the whole, because everything ultimately, I'm sorry, I'm going to go on a bit of a mushroom sounding rant, but at the end of the day, everybody just wants to, like, live in a nice place and eat good meals.

That's what the money that makes the world turn. That's all they want. That's all people want. They want the power so that they can get the money so they can eat good food. That's all we want. We just want good food. The world turns on good food. And, like, fast cars and sexy ladies.

I'm a bit confused on how that connects to that. Just power and power dynamics and everybody wants wealth so they can buy good food. what the hell what are you talking about that's what people want money for us to be able to buy good food like to be able to go to a nice ass restaurant drug dealers billionaires everybody it's the it's the common denominator we all just want a good meal in our tummy but what does that have to do with trump because he's a man seeking power and power he wants money Jesus Christ But I would say he's a guy

Who also doesn't know what the fuck is going on I think I think he thinks he is I think he's calling the shots I think a lot of people are You know Pointing to the fact that it looks like Netanyahu is getting exactly what he wants from Trump

He's been asking for these bumper Bunker Busters For however long He's getting exactly what he wants for Trump He's getting No one's talking about Gaza anymore. He's killing indiscriminately, doing exactly what he

wants to over there. He's got a ceasefire deal now with Iran. I mean I mean, he, I think when they... When they say who he? Netanyahu, when Trump

came out and announced all this, he said, you know, he thanked, he thanked BB for all this. He thanked God. I think this man has no idea what he's doing. From the beginning it's unclear. I mean, I'm, I think that Netanyahu did the original first strikes trying to goad the U.S. into the war and he got exactly what he wanted. And Trump literally doesn't know what he's doing. He said, how can I play this? Marco Rubio said, like, look, we had no, we had no knowledge of this. And then Trump was like, nah, I knew. I wanted nothing happens without. It's the Trump playbook. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he's way in over. his head. I think this is his mission accomplished moment, right? He's coming out. We did it. We

achieved a ceasefire. We're going to call that the 12-day war. That's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore. Almost immediately, both Iran and Israel were very quick to say, we don't know anything about this. Oh, yeah. As soon as he posted it, because we were on the call, we were going, is this real? And every news source is going, both Israel and Iran are going, we don't know what the hell he's talking about. Yeah. No one knows what the hell he's talking. Well, we'll see what happens in the next couple days. Surely nothing will happen this time. I'm sure they will.

And, I mean, living through this has just been just bizarre. It's like seeing it in real time, the getting to relive it with like a fully formed frontal lobe. I get to like go back to the early 2000s and just see it all happen. I mean, and also the same people, right? I mean, Lindsay Graham, all these, all these neocons, these ghouls, plus, the same Democrats who either cheered it on or were too cowardly to do anything about it. I mean, look at Chuck Schumer, all these people who, where is, and all the people who are going like, you know, if Kamala was president, this would have never happened. We don't know if that's true.

And you know what? She also refuses to come out and say anything about it. We haven't heard one thing from her. There is no, there's no. Wasn't she writing a book, dude? I know. I don't. I don't. I don't want to bother her. I mean, people are only saying that she's like a big contender for 2028, but she has no... They're really... She's in the conversation again? There's definitely people who have touted her, which is insane. But look, I don't think she's a person who really has any...

I don't think she has any beliefs about anything, really, but she won't... She hasn't told us what she thinks about this, you know? So you guys can do your fun little, like I told you so's and all that, but the Democratic Party has not offered a they've not situated themselves as the anti-war party here. I mean, there's a, let me see if I can send it in real quick.

There's a, there's Hakeem Jeffreys. Here, I just found it. This is a video of them asking about joining Ro Khanna's war powers resolution. Would you support the Rokana War Powers resolution?

I haven't taken a look at it. Oh, okay. Well, thanks. thanks for that hakeem thank you for your visionary leadership in this in this moment uh there's just there's no one oh look what's trending big balls was trending and trump is war criminal love that did you see him go he's going after a lot of people he especially went after aOC for saying um oh yeah jesus for even for even going after the impeachment thing stupid aOC alexandro Ocasio-Cortez, one of the dumbest people in Congress, is now calling for my impeachment, despite the fact that crooked and corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.

Look, that is the problem, too. I mean, so much of this stuff, if you want to call this illegal and stuff, it's like, well, where were we when, you know, when Obama was, like, expanding all of this, you know, pushing the limit of the AUMF, expanding drone programs, all of the, I mean, we've seen this play, but we have quotes from Obama of being like, well, that's not a real war. was a limited air strike. We've done all of this before. And that doesn't mean that we should continue to do this

and continue to do these illegal wars and unconstitutional wars and all of that. But it just makes it so hard when Republicans can go, well, I didn't hear you talk about it when Obama was doing it. And someone, you know, something is tip for tat. Someone tweeted the like,

um, like, huh, funny, it's only the Republican presidents that go to war and like listed all the presidents and there's like a huge community note on it of like all the places that Clinton bombed all the places that Obama bombed and um yeah the first the first place that the um that the B2 was used was uh in Kosovo yeah uh so it's just that it's it's really unfortunate

that i mean there is a small contingency and even on the right we talked about it a little bit he's going to absolute war with Thomas Massey he is um who is the repubes Republican congressperson in Kentucky, he's like full-blown talking about how he's going to, I mean, Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, Maga doesn't want him, doesn't know him, and doesn't respect him. He's a negative force who almost always votes no. No matter how good something may be, he's a simple-minded grandstander who thinks it's good politics for Arand of the highest-level nuclear weapon. Wait, go back to the tweet that you just had pulled up there, because I love this. in Donald Trump's thing that starts with stupid AOC, one of the dumbest people in Congress. And then I just like look down and he goes

what a disaster it was. AOC should be forced to take the cognitive test that I just completed at Walter Reed Medical Center as part of my physical. As the doctor in charge said, President Trump aced it. Meaning, I got every answer right. It's an insane person. Anyway. But he is

he has launched a, it's called the Magapack in an effort to primary Thomas Massey, there is no, yeah, any anti-war efforts in this country will be stamped out. I mean, APEC already tried to oust him in 2024 for his calling into questioning the funding of Israel. This guy's got a real target on his back. Well, let's just leave it with this. There's another, another familiar guy, David Frum, big journalist, he was a big, he's always been a big war hawk. he wrote something in the Atlantic right move wrong team

basically saying he's supportive of he's supporting of what Donald Trump did but he's going about it in the wrong way and I feel like they're already rewriting it before our eyes and it's going to make this entire moment is going to make everyone crazy so he basically says the rulers of Iran bet the regime on the Trump always chickens out

trade they refused diplomacy they got war they chose their fate they deserve everything that has happened to them. Only the world's most committed America haters will muster sympathy for the self-destructive decision self-destructive decision making of a brutal regime, which feels very odd

like before they were bombed, they were set to have... And given two weeks. No, no, before... They were set to be at the negotiating table on Sunday before they were bombed initially by Israel.

Yeah. And it's so insane to say that. And then he goes on, it was a Iran that initiated the direct nation-to-nation air war with Israel. After Israel struck an Iranian compound in Syria in April 2024, Iran fired 300 ballistic missiles into Israel. So he says it was Iran that initiated after Israel struck an Iranian compound. And he's kind of obscuring the fact there, because he's conveniently leaving out what that Iranian compound was.

That was April 1st, 2024. They hit the Iranian embassy and killed 16 people. including Syrian civilians. Yeah, he goes on to say, Trump did the right thing, but he did that. So he says, if the war launched by the rulers of Iran

has brought only defeat and humiliation to their country that does not make those rulers victims of anybody else's aggression, a failed aggressor is still the aggressor. And it's just, I'm reading this, I'm going, but we're all watching this happen. Yeah.

And he's calling for that Iran launched this in time. entire war. Yeah. Hey, you guys fucked up by not, what, surrendering sooner? Or I don't, yeah, I don't even, I've got the paywall coming up, but the last thing I can see is he did the right thing, but he did that right thing in the wrongest possible way, without Congress, without competent leadership in place to defend the United States against terrorism, and while waging a culture war at home against half the nation. Yeah, that's what worries me. It does feel like a lot of the pushback is from Democrats who are maybe feeling left out, like they weren't, uh, they weren't properly briefed about what

was going on. Oh, yeah. I mean, hey, look, we support. I don't even think people in his own cabinet were that briefed. I don't think, I mean, from what it seems like, hardly anybody really knew what was going to happen, probably including and especially Donald Trump. Yeah, I, I, yeah. Well, they all seem supportive of it, but maybe just, uh, want to be brought into the fold a little bit more, you know, Well, before we close out, got to give a quick shout out to Moomu.

Do you know what a blumpkin is? Oh, do you know what a dirty Sanchez is? What was a blumpkin getting a blowjob while you're pooping? Yeah. And a dirty Sanchez is you take your finger out of a butt or something and you smear it. Yeah, you make a mustache or something. It was shit. Yeah.

It was the high school boys were obsessed with gross, made up sex things. It wasn't even high school. This was like middle school. And I was like, wow, these are like real things I'm going to have to learn how to do. Okay. wait, slow down. So I'm going to have to make a poop mustache. A woman's going to want that?

So much of sex was just like hearing about it from like friends with older siblings being like, okay, I better remember that. Because that seems like an important part of sex. I don't know, man. I don't know where those kind of thing. Like that's another one of those things that transcends geography. Geography? Yeah, where everybody like you on the East Coast knew just as well as me over here. Oh, if you blow weed in the dog's ear, it gets some high.

Why? Where did we get that information? But that's one where it's like, kids are just stupid and it's like, what if we just blew the smoke in the dog's ear? I don't know, man. I was told that that's like how to do it. I mean, how else you can do it? Dogs can't smoke a joy. Just blow it in their nose.

Just blow it at them. They're breathing. You could do either. Fix your sleep. Why? Fix it because it's folded. Fix it. Please.

Come on, please. Come on, dude. People are now going to see it. And then you're going to drive them crazy. Just fix it. Why not? You should just fix it. I mean, it's folded over.

You should fix it. It's bad luck. Is it? Yeah, it's bad luck. You should fix it. For the audio listener, he's now bullying me and not fixing his.
