President Trump has been told, has been really cautioned that if he ordered the U.S. Military to hit Iran, then it would almost 100% not be this kind of one and done decisive blow that he might want. And that would translate into a series of strikes. And if you want to push it further, that could then turn into a wider [00:00:19] confrontation with Iran possibly pulling in the Middle East. So basically, this kind of domino effect or some kind of spiral into a greater conflict. Michael, further reporting also says that that advice has come straight from the Joint Chiefs himself, the top general, General Dan Kane. [00:00:38] Well, that's great news for Israel, of course, because the United States has now ordered the evacuation of all non-emergency personnel in and their family members, by the way, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, in preparation for an attack on Iran. [00:00:55] Now, you might be wondering, why would attack on Iran translate to the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon in Beirut, Lebanon being evacuated? Well, that's because of the fact that this could very likely turn into a much larger regional war, and the US wants to be prepared for that. [00:01:12] Jake, were you expecting this? Well, I'm certainly expecting that, Iran is going to get attacked because Israel has ordered it. And apparently we don't have a choice is you're going to see in this story, almost all the preparations are ready. So we're on the edge. And, you know, everybody's debating it. [00:01:31] And I was on Piers Morgan yesterday. We dropped today. We'll show you some of the arguments that I made against this war and and really, all the people that are in favor of this war are Israel first. No one else in America. So you're going to see all of that in a minute. [00:01:46] So a State Department official told the Hill that the evacuation order was prudent, given the security concerns that a full blown war will break out in the region, meaning in multiple countries, not just between the United States and Iran. [00:02:04] Now, the last time the embassy in Beirut was similarly evacuated with non-emergency personnel was last summer, on June 22nd. And this was, of course, when the United States began bombing the nuclear facilities in Iran and as the 212 day war was underway. [00:02:21] Now, luckily, things didn't spin out of control after the U.S. Decided to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. There was a lot of concern that things would spin out of control. But you really do have to give Iran credit for showing considerable restraint in an [00:02:37] effort to prevent a broader regional war, something that I wish our special ally Israel, would have some interest in. But alas, they don't. So Iran attacked the US air base in Qatar, if you can remember, but it provided notice of its planes to strike, giving the US time to evacuate [00:02:55] and prepare to intercept the missiles. Now, they did that to essentially show the Iranian people that the Iranian government had some response, but they didn't want any Americans to be killed in the process. Now, just to juxtapose that with what the Israelis have done to Americans in the West Bank. [00:03:11] How many Americans have been killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank so far? Well, overall, ten in the last three years. But some were in Gaza because Israel murdered some aid workers that were Americans while they were trying to deliver food to Gaza. That's right, that's right. But anyway, just going back to this story. Over the weekend, the U.S. [00:03:28] Began removing hundreds of American troops from its bases in Qatar and Bahrain, similar to what was done during the 12 Day War last year. But it is worth remembering that Iran is less of a problem when it comes to bombs over Beirut, for instance, because Israel recently escalated its strikes on Lebanon, [00:03:49] which it has continued launching in violation of a November 2024 cease fire deal, killing 12 people in attacks on the eastern Bekaa Valley on Friday and Saturday. And to be clear, Israel, according to reports coming out of Saudi Arabia, [00:04:06] is planning to bomb additional countries very, very soon. So Israeli sources recently told the Saudi outlet Al Shirak Al-Awsat that Israel could launch massive and unprecedented strikes on Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen if Iran's allies get involved in a potential Us-iran war. [00:04:26] So again, I just want to be very clear with our audience so you know what to expect. This potential war between the United States and Iran is not going to be some easy, one and done situation. Israel is already preparing to bomb additional countries during this war, [00:04:44] and that has a high likelihood of spinning out of control and turning into a devastating regional war. Now we can talk about the US's preparedness preparedness in this upcoming war in just a bit. But before we do, Jake, some thoughts on what I've shared with the audience so far. [00:05:01] Yeah. So look, as you all know, there's no reason for America to go into this war. We have no interest in Iran. They have no nuclear capabilities. Their ballistic missiles can't reach us. Their foreign policy is their business, not our business. [00:05:16] So I want you to remember all of that when the fighting begins, because I think that this war is going to get super messy super quickly. So it's not going to be a slow ramp up to disaster. I think we're going to hit disaster pretty quickly. [00:05:31] And when we do, what's going to happen next is the Israel first, along with all of mainstream media. And almost all of our politicians are going to come back and go, oh my God, I can't believe Iran hit us. Well, that's it. We got to go more deeper into the war and deeper into the war and oh my God, oh my God. [00:05:48] They hit Israel like two and a half people died. We have to avenge them for the next 20 years, 40 years, the most precious lives in the world have been lost to Israelis, etc. I, on the other hand, am struggling already ahead of time with should I have any sympathy for any Israeli killed in this war? [00:06:04] And the reason for that is because they are definitively starting the war definitively. And they brought a third of our fleet into the Gulf to attack Iran, when we have absolutely no interest in it. Picture this. It's midnight. You're in bed. Shopping cart full on, shop tight.

[00:07:37] So every American loss is on the head of Israel, and every Israeli lost is on the head of Israel and no one else. And we should not go deeper into this war. I hope Trump runs after we run into trouble, because we will almost certainly run into trouble if he digs in deeper with this big a force. [00:07:55] It's going to be an absolute nightmare. By the way, a third of our fleet means sitting ducks everywhere. And now it's not normal warfare, guys. There's drones that could hit these guys in 18 different ways. So I think that this is the first war where we're going to find out that we are [00:08:12] no longer in charge of the whole world. So thank you, Israel. We appreciate it. Way to, you know, help destroy our empire. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
