We just kicked their ass. We just took out what they've spent 40 years trying to build. I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. - We cannot have a nuclear armed Iran. - I find it hard to believe that. Bush 41, Bush 43, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, you know, go down the list, [00:00:21] any, any presidents wouldn't have felt compelled to take that strike. It doesn't matter what you were listening to or what you were watching this weekend. You just watched three separate clips from CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. And in every single one of them, they were cheerleading for the military strikes [00:00:41] that the United States carried out against Iran's nuclear sites. This, again, happened over the weekend. Could drag us into a prolonged war. Trump over the weekend also hinted that he might be open to regime change, although today he announced that Iran and Israel agreed to a Ceasefire. [00:01:01] Neither party, as I speak right now has commented on that. So I do question if there really is a ceasefire, but go. Ahead. Okay, so look, I love that clip and I wanted to show it to you guys. Why? We've told you a hundred times on this show they're playing good cop bad [00:01:16] cop on us, both establishment Democrats and establishment Republicans. Oh, the Republicans are the bad guys. Oh, but the Democrats come in and go, oh, there was nothing we could do, right? So same exact thing for MSNBC, Fox News, good cop, bad cop, and oh, we all hate Trump. [00:01:32] Boo Trump on MSNBC. Oh, he did a war. Oh we love that war. We got more videos coming. We got more videos coming. Oh war is great. Oh, the donors are super happy. Military industrial complex. The oil companies, AIPAC, they're all thrilled. Everybody get out there now. You all love Trump, right? [00:01:48] So whenever it's an economic issue that affects the donor class, all three cable news stations rally. And it doesn't matter which side it's on. No. And they and they got their pom poms and they're all cheerleading. Cheerleading for it. Of all those guys who just showed you, the one I'm most disappointed in [00:02:04] is Van Jones. So Van Jones tried to make an argument for how progressives should be like the neo cons and be in favor of attacking Iran. You must be out of your goddamn mind. No, no progressive is interested in starting a war for Israel, no matter [00:02:21] how much you say that on TV. I don't know who the hell is paying you to say that, but that's a like, if you actually believe that, then I feel even worse for you. What a ludicrous thing to think. But we'll give you the clips. So let's go through each of those three channels one by one. [00:02:36] So let's start with Fox News, for instance. By the way, Fox News has been wall to wall war, war, war, war, war coverage endless. I mean, it's so reminiscent of the lead up to the war in Iraq. But nonetheless, Fox is especially important because, [00:02:52] as we've covered, President Donald Trump watches Fox News incessantly. It's still his favorite programing to watch. And they have been kind of egging Trump on in carrying out the strikes that he did carry out over the weekend. So let's take a look at some of their coverage. [00:03:08] We just kicked their ass. We just took out what they've spent 40 years trying to build and hundreds of billions of dollars, with the help of the North Koreans, the Chinese and the Russians and anybody else, they can get. Donald Trump understood with moral clarity, as Prime Minister Netanyahu did, [00:03:23] that there is good and evil, and that it is better if you apply common sense to just come to the simple conclusion that the number one state sponsor of terror cannot have nuclear weapons. They have no value for human life. There's a very small but vocal faction within the GOP, which seems to want [00:03:43] to live comfortably, numb between a couple of oceans and friendly neighbors, and let the rest of the world fend for itself. I mean, morally or politically, what's the use of being strong and powerful if you don't or won't protect your friends and allies and democracy? [00:03:59] Every dictator in the world is on notice now. The world is a safer place. Tonight is my conclusion. What's yours? I couldn't agree more, Sean. God bless President Trump. God bless the U.S. Military. And God bless the Israelis for paving the way. So this mission could be as successful as it was. [00:04:15] And if the Nobel Peace Prize were worth anything anymore, I would say the president certainly deserves one. So all of the coverage on Fox News sounds like that you're not going to hear a differing opinion at all. In fact, I got a little taste of what it's like when you happen to be [00:04:30] one of the few people who's willing to give a different opinion in the media. There will be a total campaign to ban you from the network. Getting a little taste of that right now, Jake, but go ahead. Okay. So, real quick on that. [00:04:45] So you're not surprised that that Fox is doing propaganda for more war? And, of course, war on behalf of Israel, not America. They did not have a nuke. They had no. They had no reason to attack us. They're not our enemy. They're Israel's enemy. And, all this talk of them having a nuke is just nothing but giant lies. [00:05:03] Okay. So that, you know. But they have an audience of two sets of people there. One is they're trying to manipulate all the 70 year olds watching Fox News. Oh, yeah, we said antiwar, but I think anti meant pro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we meant we're pro war. Okay. Super easy to influence them and and bring those sheep over to the pro-war category. [00:05:22] They've been there before. They've been Fox news got them there before. Easy to get them now. But the top 70 year old that, they're targeting is Donald Trump, who's in his 70s, and they're like, oh, you kicked ass, Donald Trump. The way to do you be super strong? [00:05:38] If you're strong, you start wars for Israel. Yeah. Attaboy. And he's listening like an idiot. And we know New York Times reported that, that he got very influenced when Israel did a bombing campaign of Iraq. I'm sorry, Iran, but, hey, same thing. [00:05:55] In their minds, this is just a replay of the Iraq war, same propaganda. So when Israel did the bombing of Iran, Fox News on purpose went on there and said, oh, it was amazing. Oh, it was so strong. It was so brilliant. And Trump got all goosed up by that. And he's like, yeah, I want to be strong and brilliant. [00:06:10] I can bomb them too. And so they're trying to manipulate him. So did you notice the lady at the end though? He should get a Nobel Peace Prize for starting a war. There's no end to the propaganda. There are no bounds. Now, Fox News, of course, is the right wing cable news channel. [00:06:29] MSNBC is thought of as the cable news channel that provides cover for the Democratic Party. And oftentimes, actually all of the time, they're very critical of Donald Trump. Not so. In their recent coverage, you'll notice a change in their tone. Let's take a look. [00:06:45] The level of secrecy of of this mission, the fact that you had planes that flew from the continental United Missouri, from Missouri, from Missouri, and flew for 18 hours with multiple refueling in the air. All of that to me is just on from what [00:07:03] they're telling us is rather impressive. There's one thing I'll agree with Secretary Hegseth on and others here. This was a tremendous success for what it was. It probably took weeks and weeks and weeks of planning. The president had no good options. What? [00:07:21] What would Monday look like if he hadn't have moved, if Iran wasn't already at 60% and an ability to to create nuclear [00:07:36] weapons in a short matter of time, right. I find it hard to believe that Bush 41, Bush 43, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, you know, go down the list, any, any presidents wouldn't have [00:07:52] felt compelled to take that strike. I mean, I'm not surprised. None of this is surprising to me. Like, let's just. I'm so black pilled on the media. Yeah. Here we go. The love for war. It's endless. So, Scarborough just said there. [00:08:08] Oh, this is the same thing George W Bush and Hillary Clinton would have done. - Well, that might be true. - That is true. - Yes. - So, MAGA, you must be so proud. Trump is just like Hillary Clinton and George W Bush getting us into a giant war in the Middle East. And now Joe Scarborough is praising him, and all of MSNBC is praising him. [00:08:26] The Uniparty is back. You must be so proud. War is back. You must be so proud of Donald Trump. Okay. And then, did you see the same guys who before were like, oh, Texas shouldn't be, the defense secretary? They're like, well, we have to give a lot of credit to Secretary Hegseth. [00:08:42] I mean, starting a war on behalf of Israel is a genius move to do. Everybody agrees. MSNBC agrees. Fox news agrees. And then, you see, it was so impressive. What a tremendous success. They're all doing this so that if Donald Trump is watching, he's like, oh, I was a tremendous success. [00:08:59] I should bomb again for Israel, right? So, guys, is it Trump's success that our military is what has technology that is way past Iran's and that we have B-2 stealth bombers? [00:09:16] They make it seem like Trump did it, and we're principled and honest here. I said the same exact thing when Obama was president, and they all made it seem like Obama went on the mission to kill bin laden. I was like, they're like. And he gave the go ahead order. I'm like, yeah, that's the easy part. [00:09:31] Going to kill bin laden is the hard part. They make it always seem like this grand, heroic thing that the presidents, when they go, okay. Go ahead. Right. No. Like this. And our air superiority to Iran's and our weapons superiority to Iran [00:09:46] is so gigantic, it's like we're squashing them with a giant boulder and they're a tiny little thing. And then all these propagandists go all over cable news going Brilliant. No one could have done it. It was so hard. It was so hard. [00:10:02] But the brilliant genius Donald Trump, who we just told you like yesterday was evil and a fascist and a Nazi, is now the greatest person in the world because he started a war that Israel wants. So we'll end with CNN. [00:10:18] Same crap, different network. Take a look. Well, I'm fascinated and candidly, I'm impressed. I think the use of deception and trickery in this case. First of all, was successful, but second of all, saved the potential loss of American lives. I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. [00:10:38] Iran is not a normal country. Normal countries don't blind women because they showed some hair. They don't empower little gangs and proxies to surround the country and fire rockets and rape people. [00:10:54] The question, though, is the who and the how is Israel going to take out this nuclear capacity by dropping people there who blow it up? Or is America going to take it out by dropping a bomb? That blows it up. But but, but but the what and the why are clear. And I think progressives should get on board with that. [00:11:10] We cannot have a nuclear armed Iran. I'll just comment on on the first individual you heard, comment on CNN. So he was kind of celebrating the Trump administration's trickery and deception. What he's referring to is the fact that publicly, Trump claimed that he wanted [00:11:30] Iran to have a seat at the table with him and sign a nuclear deal. He claimed he wanted to engage in diplomatic means. He said that he was going to make a decision within two weeks, and then a day later, he carried out the strikes, which could very likely drag [00:11:48] the United States into a prolonged war. We have to wait and see what's going to happen. But the the fallout and the blowback from that is a huge problem. The other thing that's a huge problem is once you have an American president, pretend like he's going to engage in diplomacy [00:12:05] and then immediately do these strikes. Well, that just destroys any chance at diplomacy in the future. Why would any other government, any other regime, trust the United States government when they claim that they want to engage in diplomatic negotiations? [00:12:21] Yeah. So, so that first general, I, CNN didn't disclose it. There was a general on MSNBC, they didn't disclose where they were working, but I would be shocked if they weren't working for defense contractors. And but they never revealed that. And every general that comes out is always pro-war. [00:12:38] About 98% of the time. So they're like, oh, this is impressive way to start a war that I will personally profit from. In that case, I don't know for sure we've done it before. Every time we look, it's a general that actually is now retired and working for a defense contractor. [00:12:53] So we'll look into it, but for now. So we'll just assume that he just loves war, and we'll find out later if he had a personal interest. Okay. Now you go to Van Jones. You know we cannot have a nuclear armed Iran. Well, good news, van. We don't. [00:13:08] We didn't. And you make it seem like the only two choices were we were going to get nuked by a nuclear armed Iran, and they were not nuclear armed, and you know that. So I don't know why you're saying things that are patently false on television. Okay. No, the two options weren't. [00:13:25] They haven't nuclear are about to kill us or we have to invade them on behalf of Israel. No, the other option was get back into a peace treaty. The perfectly good one that Obama had, the one that Iran would go back into in any second, where they would ship their uranium out to France and their plutonium out to Russia, [00:13:40] and they would get it back for energy purposes. We all know this, you know that. But you're choosing to leave that option out so that America can cheerlead for war. And then you have the temerity to ask progressives to cheerlead for a neo neocon war. And then the other absurdities. He says, Iran is not a normal country. [00:13:59] Oh, tell me about how dangerous the Muslims are, van. They're super dangerous, aren't they? They don't respect women. That's why they killed over 20,000 women. Oh, no. That's Israel and Gaza. But they killed children at 17,000 children dead in Gaza by Israel. [00:14:17] But they they fire rockets into civilian areas. Israel, in Gaza and in Iran and in Lebanon. Let alone everywhere else. Everything he said could be applied to Israel. But if you applied it to Israel, how dare you? [00:14:35] We can smear Muslims all day long. We can bomb them and kill them. And we're all and progressives. You should celebrate that. But if you ever say the truth about Israel, very wrong. That is not pre-approved propaganda. CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, while pretending to disagree, will tell you no, no, Oh, [00:14:56] you cannot say true things about Israel. Go ahead. Anne. I mean, look, I actually I agree with Van Jones, Jake. I mean, Iran is so terroristic that they like to call and, give the United States warning ahead of time and let them know exactly where they're [00:15:14] going to do military strikes so the U.S. Can intercept those missiles and there won't be any civilian casualties. I'm just going to say real quick, we just covered it earlier in the show. Israel calls Iranian generals, Washington Post covered it, audio recording of it, and they threatened to murder their children if they [00:15:32] don't betray their own home country. I think Hamas actually did the phone call. Oh, sure. Of course it was in self-defense. They threatened to murder their Iranian children in self-defense, of course, because Israel can never do anything wrong. Now, if Iran had called American generals and threatened to murder their children, [00:15:47] what would we what would we call them? Van. We'd call them terrorists, right? But when Israel does it. No, no, no, no, Israel has a program called Where's Daddy? Where they use I to pick targets so they have no idea if it's even true that the person is in any way connected to Hamas. [00:16:04] It's phone. That phone is connected to that phone. Connected to that website. Next thing you know, somebody is dead. But that's not even the bad part. The bad? Well, the awful part. That's the bad part. The awful part is they wait till they go home. So they murder the entire family with that guy. [00:16:19] That's called Where's Daddy? Because as soon as daddy comes home, Israel murders their children. But I know Iran is not a normal country. Iran, because they're Muslim, is so uniquely evil. But don't ever look at all the things Israel has done, because CNN and MSNBC [00:16:40] and Fox News just coincidentally happened to agree with Israel every single time. Get out of here, man. I'm. I vomit your propaganda. I can't stand it. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
