All right, so in this video, we have another poll to show you that proves once again that President Trump's instincts politically are spot on. And secondly, Border Patrol announces an historic update to border crossings that are now at zero for the month of May, and Pete Hexseth had to testify on Capitol Hill, and things got heated. And overall, I feel like there's more support for Donald Trump's positions than is comically acknowledged. oppose Iran getting a nuclear weapon. I mean, look at this.

79% of adults agree on that. They agree with Donald Trump. Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. 83% of Republicans, 79% of independence, 79% of Democrats. When you get 79% of Democrats and 83% of Republicans agreeing on anything,

you know that that position is a very clear majority in this country. And so the American public is with Donald Trump. They definitely oppose Iran getting nuclear weapons. Listen, guys, I wanted to start off this video with this clip to prove that President Trump and his instincts politically are one of the best.

I mean, he knows what he's doing. He knows what he's saying. He did win an election, by the way, not once but twice. So maybe the president is on to something here. And even though there is this emotional reaction since the very beginning of what could happen, not what has happened, I think the president is on the right track here, because ultimately the end result is what? If Iran gets nuclear weapons, what then?

Now, to further prove the point that President Trump is on the right track here, listen to this. Do Americans prefer sort of military action here or a diplomatic solution when it comes to Iran? Right. So, you know, we're talking about

you can favor one thing, but you could also favor another thing more. So yes, the U.S. public plurality and the vast majority of Republicans would favor U.S. airstrikes if Iran's trying to make a nuclear weapon. But what do they prefer? To limit the risk of Iran making nuclear weapons,

the American public prefers what? They prefer a negotiated agreement, 69%, of the American public prefer negotiated agreement as compared to 14% who prefer taking military action. I will note, Sarah Seiner, that this 69% includes 64% of Republicans. So even there, even if Republicans, the clear majority, would in fact support airstrikes on Iran, U.S. air strikes on Iran, they prefer a negotiated agreement. And of course, that's exactly what President Trump has been doing.

That's what he tried to do. He tried to work out an agreement. He gave them 60 days. Didn't work. So then what's step two? Well, they're going to have to use force. And of course, currently right now, it's Israel who's actually executing the force, and America is in a support position. Now, for people out there, as we've been talking about since this story came out, there are conservatives who still even disagree with that.

And they make valid points. Hey, that support position could end up being a more active position where we are the ones executing these military airstrikes. And if we're doing that, then that would lead to what? And full-out war that could last forever. Now, getting back to what happened this morning, here is a reporter asking the president a ridiculous question. Take a listen. Have you been to answer questions about whether you are moving closer, or you believe the U.S. is moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities? Where's your mindset on that?

I can't say that, right? You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component and what? time exactly sir sir would you strike it would you please inform us so we can be there and watch i mean you don't know that i'm going to even do it you don't know i may do it i may not do it i mean nobody knows what i'm going to do i can tell you this that uh iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate it and i said why didn't you negotiate with me before all there's death and destruction why didn't you negotiate i said to people why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago

you would have had a country. It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. It's so, you know, everyone thought it was going to be the reverse. I didn't. I didn't think so. And I was telling him, you got to do something. You got to negotiate.

And at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're not going to do that. And they got hit. Okay, so that's President Trump once again being asked questions about Israel and Iran. This is happening during the construction of two hundred feet, flagpoles that he is installing on the south lawn. One is already up and they're working on the second one. But getting back to this conflict, I mean, I don't understand why these reporters are asking sensitive information from the president and expecting that he's going to answer. Like, hey, are you guys going to strike Iran and are you guys going to do it today or tomorrow?

Like, why would he say that publicly? I mean, their job is to be a professional at asking questions. You would think they'd read the room and understand that's probably not something publicly they should be asking him. And let's not forget, one of the big issues so far is the risk that we could get caught up in a forever war. Well, they asked them about that. And so here's what he said. Some of people on the base don't want a long-term war. They're afraid that we're going to get into a long-term war. We're looking for a long-term. Yeah, we're looking. It's only, I only want one thing. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's it. I'm not looking long-term short-term. And I've been saying that for 20 years. I've been saying it as a civilian who got a lot of

publicity, people would cover it. Very simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It's not a question of anything else. And if you did, you wouldn't have much of a country because they would use it on us and they'd use it on other people and they'd be a terror all over the world. Bottom line is this, no matter what your opinion is, no matter what you believe, whether you support President Trump and what he's doing or not, the most important question that you should ask yourself is what happens if Iran builds a nuclear weapon and is ready to use it? What would you want America to do in that scenario? Now, I'm sure, and I'm just assuming here, that you wouldn't want us to just sit around and do nothing, right? I'm sure you'd want us to prevent them from using it,

okay? And I'm just assuming here. And so what President Trump is doing is trying to prevent Iran from getting to that point. And in case you're wondering, like, how do we know they're getting to that point. How do we know they have the ability to do it? Well, here's what Tulsi Gabbard said in March. And I think it proves his point. Take a listen. In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus. Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear

weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. Now, what's interesting in that same testimony, Tulsi Gabbard did confirm that, according to the intelligence community, Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. But they do have, quote, enriched uranium stockpile at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. I mean, the analogy here is like someone who has tons of gunpowder, but they don't have any ammunition. I mean, sooner or later, they can probably get the ammunition at levels we don't want them to have, right? Because they have the raw materials. And so, of course, President Trump in step one was what, hey, let's work out an agreement

where we will supervise you, Iran, destroying this uranium. And obviously, that didn't work because the deal fell apart and Israel launched strikes against Iran and now we are where we are. Now here is Secretary of State Marker Rubio echoing the same thing. Take a listen. When you say 60, that's misleading when people hear that number because they think 60% enrichment, 90% is what you need for a weapon. Actually, 90% of the work it takes to get to weapons grade enrichment is getting to 60. Once you're at 60, you're 90% of the way there. You are in essence a threshold nuclear weapon state, which is what Iran basically has become. They are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon.

If they decided to do so, they could do so very quickly. If they stockpile enough of that 60% enriched, they could very quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it. That's the danger we face right now. That's the urgency here. That's why Israel feels urgency about it. That's why we feel urgency about it, but not just us. Throughout the Gulf region, no country in the region wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. And you also talk about not just a weapon.

They have long-range missiles that they can deliver those weapons. This is a very grave risk. and they are enriching at that level and they're openly doing it, by the way. In fact, their Congress, their legislative branch, actually passed a law requiring them to enrich at a certain level because JCPOA, the Obama deal with Iran, was canceled.

So this is a critical moment. All right, now before we go any further, let's hear from today's sponsor. So it's an old secret that the Fed Chair Jerome Powell is keeping interest rates sky high. And guess who pays the ultimate price? You do. See, it's harder than ever to qualify for a loan,

a mortgage, even a basic credit card, no matter how hard you've worked on your credit. That's why I partnered with MDW credit solutions because they fight for you. They go straight to the credit bureaus, file real disputes, help with removing late payments, collections, charge-offs, and whatever else is holding you back.

And right now, they're giving my viewers an exclusive deal. Just $79 a month to get a full audit, unlimited disputes, monthly updates, and real human support, not some overseas bot. So call 559-608-4242. or go to mdwcreditsolutions.com for us slash devory or hit the link in the description below and the secretary of state makes a phenomenal point we are at a critical moment which is why this clip that's been going viral between ted cruz and tucker carlson has caught so many people's attention

unfortunately for the senator he was not prepared for this interview because he was unable to answer simple questions as it relates to iran especially if america is considering not only destroying their nuclear program but potentially destroying the country as we know it how many people living around by the way i don't know the population at all no i don't know the population you don't know the population in the country you seek to topple how many people living around 92 million okay yeah how could you not know that i i don't sit around memorizing population tables well it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million? Why is that relevant? Because if you don't know anything about the country...

I didn't say I don't know anything about that. Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran? They are Persians and predominantly Shia. Okay. No, it's not even... You don't know anything about Iran. So, actually, the country... Okay, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. You're a senator who's calling to the overthrowing the government and you're the one who claims... You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. You're the one who can't figure out if it was a good idea. to kill General Soleimani and you said it was bad. You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump. Yes, I do. Because you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation. And if you really believe that. We're carrying out military strikes today.

You said Israel was. Right. With our help. I said we. Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them. Well, this, you're breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all. We're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them. You just said we were. We are supporting Israel. You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is a, we're with Iran right now, people are listening.

All right. Clearly, there are so many things wrong with that interview. And it should be live now at this point where you could watch the full two hours. According to the senator, he believes this was a got you moment. He believes Tucker Carson was not being genuine here. And he was trying to embarrass him. I'm of the opinion that if you are a United States senator, and you have definitely been involved as Congress in neutralizing Iran's nuclear program,

then I would think you would know at least some of this information. And even if you didn't know it, I think you'd be able to come up with a reason why you don't know it. But again, I probably wouldn't buy that either. And so no matter what side you're on, I think this is another great example that people in Congress don't know as much as we think they do. So no shocker there, but it has been going viral, and I'd love to get your guys' reaction to it in the comment section below. Now, if you thought Ted Cruz's reaction was ridiculous, wait till you hear this from Whoopi Goldberg this morning on the view.

She now claims that people in Iran are going through exactly what black Americans are going through right now in our country today. Here it for yourself. But let's just remember, too, the Iranians literally throw gay people off of buildings. They don't adhere to basic human rights. Listen, here's the thing. Let's not do that. Let's not do that because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car. But where the Iranian regime is today. I'm sorry. They used to just keep hanging black people. So let's not even the same. I couldn't step forward. Oh, no. That's not what you mean to say. It is the same. Yeah. I think it's very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is to live in Iran.

Not if you're black. Not if you're black. Okay, well, that's probably one of the most ignorant statements you can hear from someone like Whoopi Goldberg on national TV. That's number one. Number two, to say that black people today in America in the year of 2025 and what we are going through according to the view is just as bad as what's happening to women, particularly in Iran.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a complete joke. Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about. Also prove to me that you've never. been to the Middle East. You don't even understand the culture. It's just ludicrous. Okay. And so let's circle back to statements that have some substance to them. And that is from the president himself. He was just in the Oval Office and he is continuing to clarify his stance as it pertains to Israel and Iran. And now he's at a point where the ceasefire deal is off the table. Take a look.

He said I was going back home to make a ceasefire. Not a ceasefire. We'll long be on ceasefire. And I said, why do you say that? Why would you say ceasefire? It's a bad term to use. Because a ceasefire means like everything's going swimmingly. We'll take a little time off. It's not. We're not looking for a ceasefire. We're looking for a total, complete victory. Again, you know what the victory is. No nuclear weapon. What's your message to Americans both here and abroad who are not only concerned about the U.S. potentially getting involved in another conflict in the Middle East, but worry about the potential for retaliation here at home? Yeah. Well, I don't want to get involved either, but I've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I've been saying it for a long time, and I think they were a few weeks away from having one, and they had to sign a document.

I think they wish they signed it now. It was a fair deal. And now it's a harder thing to sign, you know. It's a lot of water over the dam. But, you know, I say it very simply. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. much devastation, and they'd use it. I believe they'd use it. Others won't use it, but I believe they'd use it. So that's it. It's very simple, as far as I'm concerned. They can't have a nuclear weapon. All right. So at this point, it's no secret what President Trump wants. I think he said it a thousand times over the past 48 hours. We do not want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. I don't know how much more clear you can be in regards to that. And that's why a lot of people have been calling

out conservatives and people who are Trump supporters because that's what he's been saying for the past decade. And now they're shocked that he's saying it again. And his decision making is an alignment with that. It's very interesting. However, I don't think it's as interesting as this new development today is something that I would call historic. And I think the media should recognize this. So the border crossings, right? You thought they were low. At this point, it's being reported that they're at zero for the month of May. Listen to this. New Border Patrol data shows not a single migrant was released into the United States last month in May. Compare that to the more than 62,000 that were released into the country under

Joe Biden in May of 2024. Michael Banks is the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, and he joins us now. Good morning to you, Michael. Good morning. Good morning. Chief, this is great news. How are you feeling about this and what does it mean for our country so it's phenomenal anybody that cares about national security you know knows that under the last administration we were breaking record numbers of people that were coming into the country illegally and that were being released into the country and to go from 62,000 over 62,000 down to zero we're breaking record numbers in the right direction now we're securing our border you know we will not declare victory but I will tell you we are fast approaching it we are closer to operational security

of the border than we've ever had. Two days ago, we broke another record. 141 entries at the southwest border. Those entries are all apprehended, and none of them will be released. Yeah, so you heard that. Zero illegal aliens were released into our country in the month of May. I mean, that is astounding. That is a record.

That is historic. Unfortunately, because it happened under President Trump, people are not going to give him the respect he deserves or the credit. I mean, this proves that if you really want to lock down the border and prevent people, from crossing, that it's absolutely possible. And it happened in record time. It didn't take years. It only took months. And it didn't require a piece of legislation to go through Congress. It's just fascinating work. And here's what the president had to say about it. You've had record low numbers for the month of May, 95 apprehensions, zero releases compared to

that of the previous administration exactly a year ago, more than 60,000 releases. What do you attribute that success to? I like you. Who are you with? Well, they're very good, turning point. Charlie, very good. See, that's what I call a good question, fellow. One out of ten, John. One out of ten, but that's a really good question. No, we had record good numbers on the border. And people are coming in, but they have to come in legally. Like some of these guys behind me, they have to come in legally.

And if they come in legally, we want them. They have to say they love America. They love our country. And if they can't say that, we don't want them. And this is probably one of the biggest reasons why the president won the election. Because anybody with a brain knows you can't trust Democrats to secure the border. You can't trust Democrats to bring down crime. You can't trust Democrats to go after criminals. You can't. I mean, it's fascinating how many people still today try to argue that President

Trump is the worst president in history and Kamala Harris should be the president. These are individuals who are not able to think for themselves critically here. Now, you may disagree with a lot when it comes to President Trump, but if you're comparing his policies to the policies of a Kamala Harris administration, especially if you call yourself a Christian, especially if you call yourself a conservative, especially if you care about the safety of Americans, Kamala Harris would never be the president in that scenario. I'm saying if you have a brain and you're able to think for yourself. This accomplishment is a prime example of that. I think it just goes right back to what the president said. We didn't need new laws. We just need to be allowed to

who enforce the laws. The previous administration wrote policies that usurp the laws and prevented Border Patrol agents from doing their job. This president came in and said, nope, go out and do your job and look, we're getting it done. And like you said, we're breaking numbers in the right direction.

We're breaking numbers that are making this country more secure. You know, and the Border Patrol is doing what we've always known how to do. We just need to be allowed to do it. And with the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Nome, we're getting the job done every day. We're going to continue breaking records. However, those records are going to be

and the record numbers of people that we are not allowing into this country illegally. Okay, so now we can go to our next story, and this is on Capitol Hill today. Pete Hexas, Secretary of Defense, has been testifying, and this is supposed to be in regards to the budget for FY26. But as you know, Democrats want to grill the Secretary of Defense on things that they believe is worthy of, I guess, the country's attention. And so we're going to start with the first question they posed to him, which is, Has he ordered military troops to shoot unarmed protesters?

Yeah, take a listen. Do they have the ability the uniform military to arrest and detain protesters currently today? It's a yes or no thing, authority. It's sort of amusing the extent to which the speculation is out there. These troops are given very clear orders. Then what is the order? Then list it out for us. Be a man, list it out.

Did you authorize them to detain or arrest? That is a fundamental issue of democracy. I'm not trying to be a snot here. I'm just trying to get the actual... Did you authorize them to do that? All of these orders and what they're sent there to do are public. So say it. So say it.

Yes or no? I'd like to. Please. Yes or no. As I've said time and time again through interruption, they're there to protect law enforcement, ICE officers who are trying to do their job, deporting illegals who were allowed in by the previous administration. So they cannot arrest and detain.

citizens of the United States, the uniform military. As we've stated, if necessary, in their own self-defense, they could temporarily detain and hand over to ICE, but there's no arresting going on. And you know this better than if you're trying to play political games, there's no arresting of the U.S. personnel. Of the U.S. military against members of the protest. Have you authorized U.S. military cyber tools to investigate people participating in these protests?

Yes or no? certainly in no way that I'd be aware of. Okay, that's good. I love that answer. That's great. Okay, so I think it's abundantly clear what she's trying to do here. And it's that Democrats are trying to find a weakness when it comes to the Trump administration. And they believe Pete Hexeth is that guy.

Because Democrats right now, their main thing is to make sure that President Trump fails. It's number one. And number two, a strategy to do that is to go after people in this cabinet that they believe has been exposed or they can expose. And so that's really what's going on here with Pete Hexat. There's no real substance in these questions, even though they're very emotional about the way that they're asking them. Let's continue. Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? I'm just asking the question.

Don't laugh. Like the whole country. And by the way, my colleagues across the aisle. What is that based on? What evidence would you have that an order like that has ever been given? giving that order to your predecessor, to a Republican Secretary of Defense, who I give a lot of credit to because he didn't accept the order. He had more guts and balls than you because he said, I'm not going to send in the uniform military to do something that I know when my gut isn't right.

He was asked to shoot at their legs. He wrote that in his book. That's not hearsay. So you're poo-pooing of this. It just shows you don't understand who we are as a country, who we are. And all of my colleagues across the aisle, especially the ones that served, I want an apolitical military and not want citizens to be scared of their own military. I love the military. I served alongside my whole life, so I'm worried about you tainting it. Have you given the order? Have you given the order that they can use lethal force against honor?

I want the answer to be no. Please tell me it's no. Have you given the order? Senator, I'd be careful what you read in books and believing it, except for the Bible. Oh my God. So your former predecessor, I guess that's not enough for you. Yeah. So according to the senator, if you write something in a book, it's all facts, right? It's not hearsay. She's a complete joke by making that argument. That's number one. Number two, instead of asking about the budget and whether or not we should continue to increase the budget for the Department of Defense, she wants to go down these roads that lead to nowhere. I mean, the fact of the matter is, if someone rolls up on a federal building where the U.S. Marines were stationed, they start threatening the Marines. They don't listen to any of the orders. And then they try to barge their way in. They're getting. detain, lady. What are you talking about? But see, again, they're trying to get a sound bite.

They want to go after Pete Hex-Seth. They believe he's one of the weakest links in this entire cabinet, by the way, and they want to make an example out of them. The problem is where they're coming from, they have no credibility. And two, Pete Hexeth, for whatever you want to say about him, he serves at the pleasure of the president of the United States. These people were not appointed to these cabinet positions, and I'm talking about most of them. I think I would probably leave out Scott Bessent, but most of these people have been appointed to these positions, not because they are the most qualified and experienced. They have been pointed to these positions because they are individuals who are against the status quo, it's number one,

but number two, they're going to follow the instructions of the president. So it's really the White House who's instructing the Department of Defense to do what they're doing. And I think that is also what irks the senator here. So why don't you tell me how you feel about everything we discussed in this video. Obviously, the continuous back and forth in regards to Israel and Iran. Any moment now, we're waiting to see what is going to take place exactly. Will America particularly get involved at a different level? You saw what the polls were saying, according to CNN. Let me know what you think about that. Also, you heard what the view thinks about it, that Black America in 2025 is experiencing the same thing, if not worse,

than what's happening in Iran, and particularly two women. You saw the viral clip with Tucker Carson and Ted Cruz. Just give me all your thoughts about everything in the comment section below. Now, in our next video, you're going to be able to watch some political stunts that went terribly wrong for Democrats. In one scenario, one of the senators felt the need to cry on the Senate floor to make his case. Well, of course, none of it actually leads to any results, but we talked about it, including more stories.

And so if you want to watch that video, all you have to do is click on. it because it's coming up right now.
