91 segmentsWhat does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes. We're up and running on YouTube and Rumble. Those are the big ones. Facebook, Twitter, Twitch. Also as well, we haven't been kicked off like Asmin Gold yet. Maybe you know who that is. Maybe you don't. But I do. And I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't. But he got kicked off. Long story short. My wife came up with a great idea over the weekend. She said, we're all sitting around the table. And she's like, how about this guys? She's like, let's do. theme nights. I'm like, oh, here we go. And she's like, we'll theme out every meal based on a different country. And the kids loved it. The kids got so excited. And I said, I'll tell you what, we're going to have a lot of North Korea nights if we don't get the likes and subscribes up. So hit like and subscribe. What? I get it. It's just there's a lot of famine. Yeah. It was like, it was, you know, every good joke is rooted in some reality. So that's why I dropped. I did have to explain it to the four-year-old. I don't worry. I put it in terms. She could understand. She got it. It's like, you know, America is like the stepsisters. North Korea is like Cinderella, except no fairies. And she was like, oh, God. I was like, yeah. She's stuck in the first part of the movie forever. Yeah, it's like, that's it. That's pretty much, it's pretty much it. It's like, that's dark, dad. I know. So hit like and subscribe if you don't want North Korea night at the Chris Hand household. Please. Although, I mean, listen, it'll teach him something. They'll learn. I don't know. I don't know what the lesson is. They'll get there. It'll be all right. Learn how to persevere. You know? Fasting is actually really good for you, kids. So deal with it. Hit like and subscribe. We appreciate you doing so. There's a lot to get to. Apparently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was like freezing her eggs over the weekend on Instagram, which is like just creepy and weird. Why? I don't know. Like, why did we need to make this a public thing? Keep that private. She's like. shooting up her belly? Why do we, why do you need to take a shot in the belly to freeze your eggs? I don't know. I don't know the science behind it. For all I know, it was Ozempic. But, uh, it's crazy. Uh, so we'll talk about that. Not, not, not really about that, but about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She's going to run for president, isn't she? Yeah. AEO, just, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is going to run for president. Maybe she'll do, maybe she'll run two races at the same time where she'll run for Chuck Schumer's Senate seat and she'll run for president. Is there any rules against that? Google me. Google it. You back there in the producer studio. Google it. Is there a rule? Maybe there's a rule against that. If there isn't, I could say you're doing both. But on the freezing the eggs thing, here's what I don't understand. Here's what I don't get.
This is the same woman who basically cried on stage because the future was going to be ruined for all of the children because of climate change. There was going to be fires raining down from the heavens and hurricanes that will sweep up coastal cities and earthquakes that would shatter dreams and just sub-zero temperatures that would last for months on end and all the changes in the climate. So you're evil to have kids in this kind of a situation. And then she's like, by the way, I'm freezing my eggs because the future. The future's looking pretty, pretty good. Got it. Can you run for both offices? In 27 states, a candidate is either allowed or not explicitly prohibited from running for both presidency and Congress simultaneously. And the other 23, you cannot. What about New York? Say, like, Mason's like, oh, okay, let me Google a little bit more. New York, you can. All right, so here, she's going to run for both. She's going to be. Dude, I would. I mean, let's just be real. Well, she didn't want to put all her eggs in one basket. No. Whoa. Whoa. That's good. That's good. That's all I'm here for. Don't count those chickens. It's really good. I'm impressed. That was pretty good. I would run for both. I mean, yeah, I can't blame her. Right? Like, if you had the money and the political clout, and I know that people are going to roll their eyes, but she does. Why wouldn't you? Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know if it's actually good idea, but I can't blame her for trying. I'm going to be the best president, senator, ever. That's just the campaign slogan. That's it. Is ever spelled EVA? Ever. Ever. Ever? Ever. And a picture of Andre 3,000 just like in the back corner. Just faded in the back. Yeah, just Andre, like, looking down from the clouds. Like, he's still here. He's still with us. Yeah, he's not. But that's what they should do. Is it a look of disappointment, though? That's what I want to know. No, I think it would be like, I don't know. Do you think Andre 3,000 votes? We only tackle the hard hitting issues here on Supertuck. If I was a betting man, I would be like, I would imagine. And I'm not like the Andre 3000 expert. No. A lot of people are like, who the hell is he talking about? So he was a member of Outcast. If I was a betting man, I would say Andre 3000 doesn't vote. And I would say like he'd probably say, he'd probably be very like Dalai Lama-esque, right? Like in the way he like approached it. Like, ooh, the mind is a cage. You know what I mean? Do you think he was paid? He'd vote? Probably. I mean, if I were paid. Mario wants to know if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to show ID to freezer eggs. A library card. Just a library card, actually. That's all you needed. It's all you need. That's good. It's good. All right. So we got other stories popping up over the weekend that we are paying attention to. Iran's going to be a big topic of conversation today. Still at war.
I don't know if you know that. Still at war. And Iran is tying the Hormous reopening to U.S. concessions on several demands, which doesn't look like it's going to happen. But Iran said it's nearing its final pack with Oman on new shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz, but will not reopen the strategic waterway until the U.S. meets conditions, including compensation for attacks, ending threats, lifting its Gulf blockade, lifting sanctions, and releasing frozen assets. The strait. which carried about a fifth of the global oil before the conflict, has been effectively blocked since February 28th, pushing oil prices higher. Today, oil is up a little bit, 8422, as optimism was tempered by the demands. Prosperity nukes, boys, still on the menu in case you keep in score at home. We also got word that Trump is named Will Sharf as White House counsel. Wolf Sharp, the White House staff secretary, will become the White House counsel and assistant to the president. Effective September 1st, President Trump said Sunday, he's overseen Oval Office administrative work and led the National Capital Planning Commission that approved the White House ballroom. More on that. In a few, apparently, people don't like ballrooms. People don't like military facilities or drone pads on top of things. The ballroom stuff is just so... insane. Like, tell me that you just can't get past your hatred of President Trump without telling me you can't get past your hatred of President Trump. This ballroom would benefit any Democratic president the way it would benefit a Republican president. Like, it would help everybody. I don't understand why people are so just rage baited by the Orange Man that they can't, they can't let this slide. Like, it is an objectively good idea. It's just stupid to me. We'll talk about that later. We also... What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything.

So what's his face? Todd Blanche over the weekend. He got confirmed. I don't know if you saw that, not as a Catholic or anything, but he got confirmed as the U.S. Attorney General. That's officially in the books. This was despite opposition from some Republicans. Breitbart has a story. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was confirmed Saturday to lead the U.S. Department of Justice. The news coming after Republican lawmakers struggled to make a decision. Bill Cassidy announced last minute on Friday that he would support Todd Blanche's confirmation, which was, that was an eye opener. You know, a lot of people looked at Bill Cassidy and thought he was on the Rhino Revenge Tour, like Thom Tillis, like John Cornyn, these guys who had been anti-Trump for so long, didn't get the endorsement bump from the president. So they were going scorched earth on their way out the door. Cassie's support placed Todd Blanche in the position to be confirmed. And in a social media post early Saturday, Todd Blanche wrote, I am deeply honored by the trust and confidence President Trump has placed in me to lead the Department of Justice as our great nation's 88th Attorney General. I'm grateful to the Senate for staying late to complete the process. They're back on recess, by the way. We'll talk about that in a second. They stay late for that. They won't stay for the Save America Act, but we'll get there. We'll get there. Todd Blanche continued to the dedicated public servants of the Department of Justice. Thank you for your work each day to uphold the law and keep our country safe. God bless America. The Fox article. stated Todd Blanche, who's Trump's former personal lawyer, nearly saw his confirmation hopes go up and smoke. As Republicans struggled to swallow his role in rolling out the nearly 2 billion anti-weaponization and sweeping IRS audit immunity for the president and his family, Breitbart News reported on the Anti-Weaponization Fund, noting in June that a federal judge extended a block on the fund meant for citizens who claimed former President Joe Biden's administration targeted them. Todd Blanche now Sunday, he formally rescinded the Anti-Weaponization Fund days before lawmakers voted on his nomination, according to UPI. article, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and all Senate Democrats opposed to his confirmation. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins are just like the worst. Just the absolute worst. Breitbart News reported July 29th that the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley postponed a committee vote on Todd Blanche's nomination after two Republican senators withheld their support pending written assurances from the DOJ on the anti-weaponization fund. So they got over all the hurdles. Todd Blanche is now the attorney general and head of ahead of the DOJ. Can we get some arrests then? Can we do that now? Like just. Everyone, just arrest everyone. Arrest most of them. All of them. I would like to see some people in silver bracelets. So that was making the rounds over the weekend. Another thing making the rounds over the weekend, which it depends on how you slice this. I think this is a negative. I'll just be honest with you. Samuel Alito has committed that he is going to be serving another Supreme Court term.
And I just get these flashbacks of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. So Samuel Alito is not retiring. There was a lot of talks that he was going to retire. And I had people that that are close to the White House telling me that they were literally looking around for his replacement just a couple weeks ago because they thought this was going to come. But as you're going to hear from Fox, he said, you know, when Ginsburg was being pushed to retire, she almost dug her heels in more. And a lot of people are thinking of the exact same thing could be happening with Samuel Alito. Not surprising because we have been bugging him all spring about this and I had gotten assurances that he was sticking around for sure for at least this term. And, you know, he talked about this about it feels like vultures circling overhead sometimes when there's this constant pressure about people wanting to know if he's going to retire. But I think, listen, the left got so burned on this when Justice Ginsburg did not retire. And they found that the more they pressured her, these public op-eds and professors calling for her to step down, the more she dug in her heels and was like, this is a lifetime appointment. I'm not going anywhere. And I think there's been a bit of that impact on Samuel Alito, too, with all of the speculation over the last few months. But he's locked in for at least one more term. And we'll see where he goes beyond that. I mean, he's still fully engaged, healthy, seems to really enjoy mixing it up during these arguments. And so there you go. It's a lifetime appointment, guys. You know, there's only two things that are really truly for life in this world. And it's Supreme Court appointments. And if you join Hulk Hogan's version of the NWO, that's about it. Those are the only two things I know for certainty are for life. But this is going to back, right? Is this going to backfire? It could. It very well could. It backfired on them for Ginsburg. And I could see it coming around and backfiring on us. So I wish you would just retire so we get a conservative in there. That's just me because sitting on our hands could mean that we handed over to the Democrats in 2028. God forbid. I mean, I don't know if they have a chance in 2028 because their platform is going to be like dudes in the WNBA and freezing your eggs outlast climate change and stuff like that. So it's going to be an uphill battle for them. trans and kids, illegal aliens everywhere, pathways to citizenship, free stuff for everybody that wants it, as long as you're okay with a little bit of higher taxes. It's like just their absolute strategy for winning 2028. It's going to give them an uphill battle, but this still could come back and bite the conservatives. Up ahead, it's another food recall, this one for salmonella. Gotta love it. I heard them blaming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over this. It was Abdul El-Sayed. He was like, everything in the Trump administration's bad. And now there's explosive diarrhea. That's like, dude, there was explosive diarrhea before Trump. There's going to be explosive diarrhea after Trump. Amen to that. Like, this isn't an orange man bad thing. This is a, it's just a diarrhea thing.
That's psychospiriasis. Yep. Cyclospiriasis. Which is caused by the people who are picking the vegetables in the fields because there's nowhere to go to the bathroom. So they do it in the fields. I suggest growing at home. I know. I see you're Jonesman hustling vegetables on the side here. Did you see that? I, yeah. I have a productive garden. Joan is like a huge fan of evading the tax man. So she's like doing it all, she's doing it all into the table. Hettling vegetables. Yeah, but $20 a pop is a lot, Joe. She's like, she's slanging, she's slanging veggies on the side. Mine are safe. No diarrhea. That's what she promises on every batch of cucumbers. She said, these are diarrhea-free. All right. That's a weird selling point, but thank you. But okay. All right. You can listen to the show on all the apps, the FM dial. You can watch us on YouTube and Rumble. It just jumped on YouTube myself. It's the usual suspects. kicking up dust causing a bit of ruckus in the YouTube chat. We appreciate you guys. Joining the show, however you want to join the show, whether it's in the YouTube chat, the text line or the phone line, same number for both. 615-737-99-86. 615-737-99-86. President Trump telling Axios, we're low-keying it with Iran. That's Gen Z slang, right? Keeping it low-key? Yep. I've said it before. I'm hip. Low key. Low key hip. It's a melding of generations there. Yeah. Low key hip. I'm low key, groovy. President Trump signaled on Sunday. This is from Axios. That he's prepared to allow economic pressure on Iran to mount as opposed to ordering a new military offensive, even as the country continues to defy the U.S. He also posted this on truth social, if you can put that up on the screen for me. It says 51 years of bad behavior. It has a very fancy chart. And the chart, if you're watching us on Supertog TV, it shows that the currency is in the trash. And to double down on that, there is a trash can emoji. So I don't know if you can see my mouse circling the trash can emoji. Does that show up on the screen? Yeah, perfect. Perfect. So it's heading quarter one of 2025. One million Iranian real. Is it real? Real. Rao. I'll go with Rao. Do it. Right? That sounds like that. I feel like that's authentic. I think it's real. Rao. But I think, yeah, I think you got it right. One million Iranian Rao. Used to be worth the dollar and 11 cents. That was back in quarter one of 2025. Quarter three of 20206, it's now worth 53 cents. That probably hurts. It probably hurts. So it kind of goes into the low key.
economic pressure route that Axios is talking about. They say only a week ago, Trump was on the verge of ordering a return to major combat operations, but an interview with Axios, he did not make any new military threats. Trump also didn't express any anger or frustration about the fact that Iran has been holding up an announcement when I deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, Iran issued a new list of demands. to allow shipping through the strait. President Trump said we're low-keying it during a brief phone call. We're only semi-negotiating with them. We're watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. He stressed that Iran is in very bad shape economically and has no money to pay its troops. The U.S. naval blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regime's economic crisis, Trump said. And at the same time, Trump said that with oil down to slightly over $75 a barrel, U.S. consumers are feeling less pain from the war. I would gently push back against that. I talk. I'm talking with Tennesseans every day. I don't know if you know that about me. I do. And not just your family. No. No. But like actually, like I do, I talk to people every day. And one of the biggest complaints I hear, and I'm sure you hear too, is gas prices. And oil today, the last I saw was 8422 a barrel. So. And what's the gas prices driving in? I didn't check today. I saw $4 over the weekend. Oh, really? Yeah. I saw $3.29 yesterday. 3.29. So I was going to preface it with, it was kind of one of those shady gas stations where there's no gas station else anywhere close. Yeah, that's fair. The drinks are up like it's $8 for a bottle of water. Yeah. Don't worry. This is fine. $4 for a Coke. This is America. America. People behind the counter. Maybe. We're only semi-negotiating them. We're watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. They're in very bad shape. It will all work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game, Trump said of the back and forth with Iran. An agreement governing the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was negotiated among Iran, Oman, and the U.S. and has been pending for a few days now. As part of the New Deal, Iran would be given partial control over traffic in the straits, something it didn't have even before the war. Qatarian-Pakistani mediators were confident the deal would be announced Wednesday, but since then, its prospects have seemed to fade. U.S. officials say there's growing disagreements inside the Iranian regime. One camp led by President Massoud Pesakian, nailed it, is extremely worried about an economic collapse and believes Iran needs to reach a deal with the U.S. Another led by the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary. Geez, Louise. IRGC. Ahmed Vahidi rejects any concessions. On Saturday, the head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, I mean, golly, these names, it's an uphill battle for me. I'm going to let you know. Muhammad, I'm good there. That one's pretty uniformed. Back here, Zolgadar, Zoltan.
laid out new terms for reopening the straight on top of those negotiated in the Oman agreement. In that statement, he said that in order for the straight to reopen, the U.S. must never threaten nor insult Iran in any language. Okay. Like who? Like just the leaders? Are we allowed to do it as the citizens? permanently end the war against Iran and Iran's allies in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, and Iraq lift the naval blockade and withdraw military forces from the surroundings of Iran. He added a demand for full compensation for war damages, lifting all sanctions and the release of all Iranian frozen funds. Until several weeks ago, these demands were prerequisite for a nuclear deal, now Iran is presenting them as conditions for just reopening the strait. A diplomat from one of the mediating countries said his statement reflected the political infighting within the regime. U.S. officials said Trump was leaning toward resuming major combat operations against Iran a week ago, but was convinced to de-escalate for now. One of the officials said the fighting allowed the Iranian regime to avoid dealing with the consequences of the war, the damage to the infrastructure, and the deep economic crisis that has been created. When Iran isn't engaged in war, it's forced to confront a grim reality with no real solutions at hand, the U.S. official said. Kind of like, go ahead and sit in it. Just sit in it for a second. At the same time, the U.S. officials set around 8 million barrels of oil are going out of the Gulf every night through the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the U.S. military. The U.S. is going to try and get more oil out as long as there is no deal. They said Vice President JD Vance over the weekend of Fox News on Saturday said this thing is not over. Obviously, it's not at the beginning. We're in the middle of the game and we're applying a whole host of tools, diplomatic, economic, military tools to ensure that we get the best outcome for the American people. That was Vice President JD Vance. He also said over the weekend that they know who they're dealing with that... Iran is telling the U.S. they will allow maximum oil flow through the straight, but he's refusing to believe it until they prove it. And I think that that's the move because we've seen this story play out many times before. This is JD Vance with Kaylee McInney over the weekend. This thing is not over. It's obviously not at the beginning. We're in the middle of the game and we're applying a whole host of tools, diplomatic, economic, military tools to ensure that we get the best outcome for the American people. I feel quite confident we will get there, but we're still a bit in the middle of the game. And the Iranians through different methods have broadcasted that they look to tighten their grip on the Strait of Hormuz. So in a theoretical deal, what would an acceptable status quo be for the Strait?
What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith, their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy SEAL, Mike Ridland. What is your take? Was it what you expected? Oh, it was the best thing ever. It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a clear goal, I'm like, okay, I can do that. Master Chief. He's like, you realize there's about 1% chance that you're making a 3%. That's all I need Master Chief. My platoon went home early, and I just went up to my chief, and I was like, I'm not going home. Turns out I'm staying. That's when we go to war. Yeah, I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform. Well, our expectation is you're going to see the same amount of oil and gas come out of the Gulf that you saw before the conflict started. That is what the Iranians have told us that they are going to do. That's what the entire Gulf Coalition wants to do as well. But, you know, we don't trust. We verify. We actually look not at people's words, but at people's deeds. You see some people within the Iranian system, of course, talk about tolling the Iranians. They have told us they have no plans to toll the Strait of Hormuz. But again, we're going to see what actions actually happen. What's been going on for the past week or so is that the Iranians and the Gulf countries, particularly Oman, have been talking about how to ensure the safe flow of traffic. The one problem, of course, is the Iranians laid a large number of minds at the beginning of the war. And so what we're really working through now is how you can actually set up a traffic scheme so that the ships that pass can pass through safely. That includes, of course, demining. That also includes a commitment from the Iranians that they're not going to fire at commercial vessels. They're hurting in a big way. They want this thing to be over. The question is whether their system is able to give the things that are necessary for us to be happy, for us to feel. So that's the vice president over the weekend. We're going to trust, but we're going to need to verify it. It's like we've seen this movie play out time and time again. We're close to a deal. We're back to bombing them. We're close to a deal. They're begging. We're back to bombing them. We're close to a deal. They bombed a cargo ship. Now we're back to bombing them. It's just over and over and over. And it feels like Groundhog's Day. And at the same time, whether you want to admit it or not, this war is very unpopular with the American people. It's very unpopular with conservatives. It's really unpopular with younger conservatives. And there's a lot of people that just want to get back to everyday life and reap the benefits of a Trump economy that's unburdened by this war. And the economy is going to continue to be burdened by the realities of this war as gas prices remain high. I mean, yeah, it's not as bad as it was a few weeks back, but it could get bad again very, very soon. And it doesn't seem like Iran. is being slowed down when it comes to their stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz. So are they in the driver's seat or is the United States in the driver's seat? I think that's the question that we need to ask ourselves. And when it looks like the president is willing to back, a lot of people are saying he's willing to back out of this thing as long as we can get the straight open, it's like, what did we really accomplish in this war then? What did we, what did we, if at the end of all of this, all we get is what it looked like before the war started?
plus Iran's economy has kind of been trashed. Was it worth it? I think that's a question that we all need to ask. Maybe you think it was. Maybe you don't. 615-737-99-86. 615-737-9986. Iran publicly demanding for compensation. They need some compensation after what they were put through. during all of this. Fox News over the weekend, Trey Yinks. Of Hormuz, there are questions about what comes next, and the Iranians are starting to make new demands. Iran's Supreme National Security Council issued a fresh statement this weekend, calling for the United States to permanently end the war and compensate Iran for damages before the strait would reopen. This does come as Iran's foreign minister says even if a deal is reached, it doesn't necessarily mean the straight will stay open. We have been discussing the temporary route and we are very close to reaching a conclusion. Work is being carried out based on the maps of this route. Prepared by the armed forces, negotiations have taken place between the navies of the two countries. And the details are being finalized. I believe we will be able to conclude these negotiations very soon. Conversations about the strait come as the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports remains in effect, costing the regime hundreds of millions of dollars each day. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that U.S. pressure on Iran will continue. They're hurting in a big way. They want this thing to be over. The question is whether their system is able to give the things that are necessary for us to be happy, for us to feel like we've gotten what we need out of this particular engagement. That is still to be determined, but I do think that we've made some progress over the last few days. With talks ongoing, Iranian proxies remain active. The Yemen-based Houthis launched a new attack on Saudi oil refineries early this morning. So more bombs going off. Nothing really newsworthy happening. We're just going to low-key this thing for a little while. James and Lebanon wants to talk about the Iran conflict. What's up, James? How are you? Hey, brother. Good. How are you? Good, man. What do you got? And I guess my question for you is, and for all of us, do we believe that Iran really had a nuclear weapons payload program about to come online? Is that so? Because if it is, we needed to do this, right? Because ultimately, the 300,000-foot view is... In the future, we don't want all these nations with nuclear weapons programs. Right. You know, civil nuclear is one thing. But nuclear weapons, ultimately, we'd like to denuclearize. But what's your opinion on it?
I mean, they were enriching uranium, right? Like, you can make the argument that was their ultimate goal. How close were they? I don't know. I don't have access to that information. You can make the argument that they were an imminent threat when we saw missiles launched at the U.S. British base, which were, it was like double the range of, and I don't have the stats in front of me, but it was double the range of what they originally said that they could do publicly. And it put a lot of European cities in the crosshairs. You know, then I would just say, is it really our job to defend every European city? And the European nations didn't seem too concerned because we basically had to drag them kicking and screaming to even come in to help us. So I think that that speaks volumes. But again, I don't have access to the classified information. But if they're about to, if they're about to have a nuclear weapons payload program and turn it online, then you and I, as fathers and husbands and Americans, you and I can't risk that. So then we have to go to the next step, which is taking them offline, taking that program offline. And this is the problem with wars. There's no better reason to fight a war than to denuclearize an enemy country that we can't trust with that power. But we've been fighting so many quagmire and BS wars. Now we can't sell it to the American people. And then with the media softening and sheepening and just weakening the American people and their minds, now they don't want to fight a war, period. Even if it's righteous. But I would just say take the media out of it. Other nations and their intelligence apparatus didn't want to get involved with this. It was just us in Israel. So that's very telling, isn't it? I think that's very telling. I mean, you could, you could make the argument that they're just weak. And that's, that's sure, maybe. But it's very telling to me. Yeah. Well, and these nations in Europe, we're talking about suicidal nations anyway that have no problem with dying, clearly. Yes. If you watch the way they govern their nations. But I think that's where we're at. I'll tell you this. At the end of the day, I don't regret my vote. And I'm glad the Trump administration's in charge. I'm not happy with every single tiny thing they're doing either. But I don't regret my vote one bit. I mean, at least we have. And I think I think that's an important point. I don't regret my vote either. I mean, even with the Iran War, there's already been a lot of good done by the Trump administration, and things would be far, far worse if Kamala Harris had been in office. And if we would have got his, if we can get John Thune, the Democrat, if we can get him to codify executive orders or put him in a bill for the Senate to sign, we'd be good. But that's the other problem. That's the bigger problem we have is most of our Republicans are really Democrats in Congress. So I would say this, I would pose this question to you then, James. What's the bigger threat to America? Is it Iran or is it Democrats?
I think obviously our enemies are bigger threats than our own. I think we should be able to police our own. But then the other answer I'll give you is, if you want to look at who the biggest threat is to your nation, look in the mirror. It's us. And if we can't steward our own government, and Americans don't get their heads out of their butts, especially young Americans, you know, my generation, millennials, if we don't start. keeping an eye on the people that work for us, if we just keep letting everybody run amok after we elect them into power, then what happens is we're a bigger enemy than our enemies to ourselves. We are our own worst enemy because we're not stewarding our government, our freedom, our liberty, and our power. We're just letting these people run amok. I hear you, man, and I appreciate the call. Great call. Call in any time. What does one trip to Israel do? One trip changes people's faith. their identity, their perspective. One trip changes the response when people chant from the river to the sea. One trip changes how people see right and wrong. One trip changes the idea of home. One trip changes everything. And one donation is all it takes.
