The Democratic Party has lost Indian allability to try to nuance itself in the issues dealing with Donald Trump. They simply, with the exception of John Fetterman, they can't really bring themselves to say, hey, I dissent, but I'm kind of okay with what we're doing right now. They just, they can't do that. The Democrats have become deeply, deeply,
deeply hostile to anything and everything related to anything with Donald Trump. It's been kind of wild to see the Democrats at this point take the position that anything that Donald Trump does is bad. Anything Donald Trump does is condemnable. Anything Donald Trump does is bad, and anything Donald Trump does, they should be opposed to, and in the process, they're also moving in a more anti-semitic direction. I want to play for you. I did this clip. From Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom is trying so desperately hard to be the Democratic nominee for President. I agree with my friend Mark Alperin. Nobody likes him. I've talked to Democratic governors who don't use nice words. I can't say on radio to talk about Gavin Newsom. They don't like him. I've talked to Republicans who don't like him. I've surveyed Democratic analysts and
Democratic political cults. They don't like him. So Gavin is doing his best to placate the progressive based thing, and he can bypass everybody else, get the base on his side, and he can become the Democratic nominee, and that includes embracing some serious levels of anti-semitism, and a mass is just opposition to Israel. So Gavin Newsom had a sit-down conversation where he was asked about an arms embargo in Israel. Do you think looking down the road that the United States should consider maybe, you know, rethinking our military support for Israel? It breaks my heart because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path, where I don't think you have a choice, but that consideration. But to consider an arms embargo in Israel, that was the pod saves Iran brothers in that podcast with him, and it's not just them. This is Ruben Gleo, the senator from Arizona. He knows, and President Trump knows that the
MAGA base is pissed. They're mad that they elected someone who said they're going to keep out of wars, and now they're following another country into war. And so they're trying to remake it, but nothing we've seen, by the way, in any type of intelligence, both open source or, you know, in classified settings, has told us that there was any imminent attack coming from Iran on U.S. forces. They're not just trying to do a full take-back. The problem with this is that it tells us what's the minds of this administration, and it really tells us how dangerous this is. They didn't think this thoroughly. They put our men and women at risk. They put our allies at risk. We're seeing the results of that with very sick stead. We have embassies that are being bombed right now. We have, you know, a CIA station was just bombed because they did not follow through all the proper pursues we should do before you go to war. And instead of actually doing things the right way, doing things in the natural interest of this country, we followed Israel to do this. And I think now we're all seeing the results of that. Got that word, followed Israel. They want to blame Israel. A lot of people want to blame Israel.
Israel is the scapegoat for the woke left and the woke right. What I'm just, I'm having my hard time wrapping my head around this. What if it works? What if it works? I don't know that any Democrat out there, and even some of the progressive right people who are opposed to it, have any idea of what if it works? We are four days in to bombing Iran to the extent that we can fly B-52s unimpeded over their airspace. We've moved from cruise missiles and precision guided munitions to gravity bombs, not because we're running out of the precision stuff as some of the left claim, but because Iran no longer controls their airspace, they're not a threat to be able to shoot us down. So we can use the cheaper weapons now where a plane flies over drops them off because we have gutted their capacity to make war in air or at sea
as we've wiped out their navy. What if what Donald Trump is doing works? What if by arming the Kurds and arming others in the civilian population of Iran who begin to take back their streets? Because remember, the Israelis are now blowing up the police forces of Iran. What if it works? What if we're able to overthrow the regime? What if we're able to change the regime in such a way that it gives up its nuclear ambitions and makes peace with Israel and restores democracy? What if it works? What if it works such that we're not able to restore democracy, but we're able to put up some level of a regime that is no longer hostile to the United States or Israel and gives up its nuclear ambitions? What if it works? The democratic position is non-stop in every case, this is a disaster, this is bad. Donald Trump is going to destroy everything. We're all going to lose. What if it actually works? What if it works? Has anybody considered the possibility that maybe
just maybe we might actually as a people be doing something good to meaningfully improve the lives of people around the world who have otherwise been tortured, abused and had to flee their home country? And we've been able to liberate a people and allow them to restore their country. Do not underestimate the diaspora of Iran. Like the diaspora of Cuba, these people have moved to the West, they've set up shop in the West, they've become experts at capitalism, they love the West in the United States, and we're now killed off the mullahs who have killed their families. What if it works? What if we have been able to make it safe for them to go back and take over their country? What if we've made it safe for Riza Polavi that would be sure to go in and help them set up democracy in the name of the Shaw? What if it works? What the Democrats are saying is that there's no way it can work. That this is bad. The President should never have done it. That Iran was not a threat to us. Iran was not an imminent threat. Iran's been killing Americans since 1979. One in six
casualties on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan were at the hands of the Iranians. They've been an imminent threat the entire time. And the Democrats like they weren't an imminent threat. We should not have gone in and done this. This is bad. The President needed the authorization of Congress. Forget that Obama didn't have the authorization. Congress, this President needs the authorization of Congress because this President does nothing good. They put themselves in a corner. They become anti-Semitic in order to placate the communists in their ranks. They become anti-Israel to placate the anti-Semites in their ranks. They've become anti-American to placate the communists in their ranks. They become anti-Trump at all times. In all cases, so much so that if he does anything good, they've boxed themselves in from being able to give him credit. They can't accept the reality. What if what he's doing works? I don't know that it's going to work. Maybe it's not going to work. But what if it does work? Mayor Mimdani of New York released a statement the other day.
Offering Iranians safe haven in New York if they were scared of what Donald Trump was doing to their country. He condemned the attack. And he also in his initial statement chose not to say anything negative about the Ayatollah. This is what he's now having to say. For, you know, I've said before that the Iranian government has engaged in system sorry the audience low or that the Iranian government has engaged in systematic repression of its own people even killing thousands of Iranians who were seeking to express the most basic forms of dissent earlier this year. You got that little load of here but the Iranian government has engaged in systematic repression of its own people even killing thousands of Iranians who were seeking to express the most basic forms of dissent earlier this year. It is a brutal government. He's saying that now
what did the polling suggest? Because he went from we shouldn't have killed the Ayatollah to this is a government that engages in systematic repression and is a brutal government. And but still maintains Donald Trump should not have overthrown the government. Only John Fetterman has come out and suggested it's a good thing that the Ayatollah was gone. And I noticed that the senator from New Hampshire Jean Shaheen the other day after originally blasting Donald Trump has now come out and suggested that it's good the Ayatollah is gone. It's good the Ayatollah is gone. At least she was willing to say that. At least willing to say that. But they can't go further. They can't go further to say hey maybe just maybe this was a good thing maybe just maybe we should give the president a bit of a doubt. Maybe after 49 years of Iranians killed
the Americans it was time. Maybe it's time to take on the regime instead of blaming the Israelis instead of blaming the Jews. At the same time you know it's so funny is they're trying to bring people to judge back now. This is how weak the democratic benches on foreign policy. They're trying for the fifth time to rehabilitate booted booted judge. This is the Washington-Freebeacon. The Atlantic is out with the profile of Pete Buttigieg, the Harvard graduate, former McKinsey consultant, former South Bend mayor, former secretary of transportation, noting that he has a beard, a splitting mall, and a house in Michigan. The magazine asks whether that's enough to commence Americans. He's a man of the people. They had to have him out Caitlin Collins interviewing him on CNN last night on his foreign policy expertise. Yes, he was a soldier. God bless you for your service. But that's the extent of it. He doesn't have much foreign policy experience. None of the Democrats do for that matter.
Kamala Harris's gut reaction on overthrowing the Iranian regime was this is a bad thing we shouldn't do it. Now you got Gavin Newsom out there blaming the Americans for the deaths of Iranian kids killed by an Iranian misfire missile. He's blaming America first and now he say we may have to do an arms embargo on Israel because they're bad and they got us into this. It's always those sneaky Jews who get us into these things. Meanwhile, as I'm talking to you right now, this very moment there's breaking news. Spain has now agreed to allow the US military to use its bases after the president ordered trade embargo on Spain. So now suddenly Spain is surrendering to the United States and allowing us to use our assets in Spain to go after the Iranians. The British and the French have joined the fight. It's just such a wild setup. And what's just so vastly interesting to me is how so much of the media and the Democrats together hand in glove are working as hard as possible to blame the United States and blame Israel
and give Iran a pass. It's remarkably vile, but also it gives them no measure of, it gives them no window, gives them no opportunity to distance themselves from the rhetoric right now. What if Donald Trump is able to meaningfully overwhelm the Iranian government in such a way that the Kurds and the others we've armed in Iran are able to take back their government and restore a semblance of non-hostile order in Iran. Even if it's not full democracy, what if it works? The Democrats will find themselves on the wrong side of the history with enough rhetoric that will give them no wiggle room to come back and say, yeah, you know what? Turns out the president did something good. The president will have done something good like he did in Venezuela with Maduro and the Democrats won't be able to give him credit. You know, I do think the Democrats are at least hoping the president overwhelms Cuba and destabilizes that government because the Democrats are really hoping all the Cubans get out of this country and go back to Cuba
and stop voting Republican. They'll probably cheer regime change in Cuba just to get the Cuban American voters out of America. But the Iranians, no, they would rather the Ayatollah than the Iranians taking back their government. It's really a damning indictment on where the Democratic Party is right now. Now that I've got your attention, this is going to be a weird ad because real estate is weird. If you're in real estate, you already know this, but most of the data's trash and sellers, well, they're a mess. You know this story. They gotta talk to their wife, their dog, their therapist, and reality, they just don't know you, and they don't trust you. And why would they? You're the 100th person's called about their house. And why'd you call them? Because they are on some list. That you heard about from a guy living in his mom's basement. Not to be fair, I love him on mom's basement, too. But that's not the point. If you want to win, you have to be different. You have to talk to people who need to sell, who just had a kid, got divorced or had a loss in the family. That's what Goliath does. We monitor people's lives and when something changes, we throw up white flags, you know, exactly who to contact. Even if it's 9 p.m. on a weekend, and you're asleep.
That's what an unfair advantage sounds like. Goliath. Goliath's data. Goliath's data. Goliathdata.com. Find deals before the market does. Okay. Back to the show. Hello, America. It's Eric Yerkeson here. The full number is 877-973-742-5. Let me go to John here on the phone. Welcome. John. How are you? Hi, Eric. Do you find him? I'd like to ask the Democrats whether they prefer a nuclear bomb in a city like Los Angeles and New York or Washington DC. I think that's true. I'm sure they would be at the living of us. Tel Aviv. Yeah, I mean, that's the problem is that they think it would happen to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, not happen to them. I mean, the Ayatollah, the Ayatollah we killed last week. They are. You're right. Yeah. John, you know when I know that, yeah, absolutely. It's the Iranians, they believe we are the great Satan and Israel is our helper. They want to wipe
out Israel. The Ayatollah we killed on Saturday, the last Khameini. It appears we've now killed the Sun as well, according to some press reports, unconfirmed, though, that he said that Israel was a one bomb country. That's his direct quote. Israel is a one bomb country. And that if they can wipe out Israel, they can bring about the body. People left do not understand that aspect of this. They hide behind claims like international law. International law is what despots and tyrants use to get the United States to not attack them. They say, Oh, it's international law. It's international law. They don't care about international law. They just want the United States to not punch them. We punch them. And well, that's international law. International law is is might makes right is basically international law. I took an international law class in law school. Then I was stunned by how inseppantly nonsensical so much of international law is like if you got a country that wants to use weapons to go to war, they're going to do it. International law did not stop the Russians. It's not in stopping the Iranians and international law is the United States of America. We are international law.
Okay, I did an experiment in my house two nights ago. My son was not happy with it. We got to get better water pressure in our house, but my son was in the shower upstairs in his bathroom. And I needed to take a shower before I went to bed. And I got in the shower and guess what? There was plenty of hot water. Now the water pressure wasn't fantastic. I will admit that. That's not on Rani. That's on well, the little stupid device. Some plumber put under a house to regulate water pressure, which I got a fear of how to increase it. But multiple people can take showers in different parts of the house at the same time. And you never run out of hot water. Why? Because we have a tankless water heater from Rani. If you go to talkingtankless.com, you can find a Rani professional to put one in your courthouse and yank your tank out, which is inefficient because it fills up with water and you got to keep it heated the old time whether gas or electric. When we got rid of our electric water heaters, our power bill went down. And well, our water bill went down to until our daughter comes home from college and
she's got massive hair. But nonetheless, we don't run out of hot water in our house. And there can be multiple showers happening in your house and everybody has plenty of hot water. It has all nice and hot. Thanks to Rani. Talkingtankless.com. Get rid of your tank of a water heater today for your building new house. A tankless water heater is just a no-brainer.

program? I would be absolutely happy to have you. I need to spend some time with you on what could potentially be an esoteric matter. I want to do an explainer if I can on some issues here because I'm noticing that people really don't get the conversation. A lot of members of the media and a lot of Democrats have highlighted Pastor Greg Laurie and others talking about the prophecies and the end times and Jesus is around the corner and whatnot. They think that every American Christian has these beliefs. I am not an expert on dispensationalism. I am a Presbyterian Calvinist, Reformed, grew up in a Reformed Baptist Church, now in a Presbyterian Church, but a lot of you have asked these questions and I've gotten the emails as well and I've seen the media commentary
on Laurie and some of these others talking about the end times in Israel and wait, wait, doesn't the church replace Israel and they're everybody's confused and the media simply doesn't understand it. The Democrats don't understand it. They just use stuff like that to paint every Christian in the country as completely insane. There are obviously branches of Christianity. There's the Catholic Church, there's the Orthodox Church, there are the Coptics, there are the Protestant denominations. The Protestant denominations come out of the Protestant Reformation. The protests, if you will, that were led by Martin Luther and now over 500 years after the Protestant Reformation, my church celebrated a few years ago, the Martin Luther nailing the Theses to the door of Edinburgh. Technically, there is also the Anglican Church that is technically Protestant, but it's actually English Catholic. It's Henry VIII wanted to be in charge of the church so he could get a divorce, but I would say it's completely distinct from what came out of the Protestant
Reformation and inside the Protestant Reformation, you've got a large groups that have come down from Protestantism, you've got Methodist, you've got Baptist, you've got Presbyterians, you've got the Church of Christ, the United Church of Christ, the Church of God, you've got all of these different distinct components within Christendom, lots and lots. You've got the Pentecostals, you've got the Seventh Day Adventist. I mean, I can't name every single, there are lots of Christian denominations out there and then there are denominations that claim Christianity that really aren't but the Christians are very, very distinctly and I know if it's intended, but you know what I'm going to say here, if you're in those denominations, if you're Mormon or you're Jehovah's Witness, most Christian denominations say they're not actually Christian because they reject the Trinity, Christians tend to believe you got to have the Trinity. Some of these denominations reject the Trinity and so main stream Christianity would say they're not really Christian and so then they fight over themselves and immediately it's just like I'm going to let you all fight over this but then the media can't understand the difference between dispensationalists and reformed.
These are ideologies within Christianity and the reason I'm doing this, I'm trying to make you smarter as you hear someone like a noted pastor with a large congregation say this is part of the end times prophecy that we've got to have this war with Iran and Israel's got to rise and the temple's got to be rebuilt and all of that. Let me just give you a very basic explanation. You have two major branches within evangelical Christianity in the United States, reformed and dispensationalists. There are degrees of reform. There's like hardcore Calvinist Presbyterian where I am. There's the reform Baptist. There are others who just they're not really dispensationalists. Dispensationalists are they get all the chat of the Tim Lehigh's of the world. What were the books? Oh gosh Kirk Cameron was in the TV show. Now my mind is going to be like y'all know what I'm talking about. A million of you are going to email me. Don't email me but you know what I'm talking about. The end times books by Tim Lehigh. Let me just google it before you all decide to bombard me.
Tim Lehigh and the left behind series that was dispensationalists. And essentially, dispensationalists believe there have been these dispensations over time from God. Humanity keeps screwing up. God gives another special dispensation and that there is a distinction between the church is God's people in heaven and Israel are God's people on earth and that the Bible makes distinctions between the two and for Jesus to come back. There are certain things in prophecy that must be rebuilt, re-done, including the establishment of Israel's destination which has happened. The rebuilding of the temple which is not. And then there's got to be this war in the Middle East against the people who hate God among other things. And that Jesus will come back and there will be this rapture where everyone ascends into heaven for seven years or however long you believe it is. Jesus will reign for a millennium. These are pre-millinitarian pre-millinarians. I'm sorry. And again, it's all very complex. There are
lots of nuances. I will get emails from people who are dispensationalists who say I got it wrong because they're in a separate branch of dispensationalism from others. It's all divided up. There are progressive dispensationalists, classic dispensationalists, reformed dispensationalists, there are varieties. But dispensationalism essentially means that Israel and the church are kind of separate distinct entities. One is heavenly, one is earthly. There are a series of prophetic events that must happen for God for Jesus to come back. And they look at all these sorts of things that happen in the Middle East and they always see prophecy being fulfilled. Then there's where I am, the reformed branch of Protestant evangelical Christendom, which says God over time in the Old Testament Israel was his people in the New Testament, the churches as people. Israel is very distinct from God's people now, no longer related in New Testament scripture to what God's people are. We believe that Israel should exist as a nation state because of what happened with the Holocaust and the treatment of Jews around the world.
They are entitled to a country. It is on the land that is the land that where David's kingdom was and they should have it. But church prophecy does nothing to do with Israel at this point. And we're not trying to rebuild the temple to get God to come back. Oh, the prophecies, a lot of it is apocalyptic language, which can't be read literally. We don't think there's going to be this Jesus showing up. We all ascend in the air in this great rapture. We do believe that there will be a moment in time where the people of God will be separated from the people of earth where you can be homilineal, you can be pre-millennial, you can be a post-millennial. There are people who really think we're in the thousand year reign of Christ and it's complex and I'm not an expert just enough to tell you that when you hear someone on stage saying this is prophecy fulfilled and Jesus is on his way and we got to rebuild the temple. That person is called a dispensationalist and not all Christians. In fact, most Christians are not dispensationalists.
They actually are a minority of all Christians in the world. However, they happen to have a lot of media outlets that elevate them. They happen to have massive churches in many cases and so they get a lot of popular attention. And you had Timla Hay made famous The Left Behind Series, which had all the dispensational prognostications and the apocalyptic pre-tribulation, rapture events and all that stuff. And that is actually a minority of Christianity. Most Christians do not believe in these sorts of prophecies, but they get lots and lots of air time by The Left because to the left, they sound kind of crazy. They don't sound crazy to me. They just sound like a different interpretation of the Bible I'm reading, but we all arrive at the same place. A second coming of Christ, we go to heaven, the heretics burn. Now all of that being said, here's the thing that The Left really doesn't understand. I have a Christian worldview. So people ask me all the time, who are secular
as how can you worship a God who gave your wife cancer? My worldview is not that God gave my wife cancer. It is that we live in a fallen world. Sin is a byproduct of that fallen world or sin. We fell because of sin and sin twists everything, sin twists truth, sin twists life, sin twists the world, sin twists health and causes disease. Our separation from God, not God causes disease. And Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, was tortured, crucified, nailed to a cross, died and rose again from the dead. And he wants a relationship with me so badly that he was willing to live through this world. And because he lived through it, was tortured, crucified, died. We have to live through it. And we have no shortcuts out of it. He suffered, we suffer. And then we have eternity together with no suffering and all the people who left at a state suffer for eternity, basically. The Iranians have a worldview too.
The Iranian Mullah worldview is that there were after Muhammad died, there was a split within Islam. Should the leader of Islam be a direct descendant of Muhammad or one of Muhammad's faithful? The Sunni believed it should be one of Muhammad's faithful. The Shiite believed that it should be one of Muhammad's descendants. And they split theologically. Most of the world is Sunni Muslim. Sunni Muslim really, it's Mecca and Medina. And in Saudi Arabia, the Shiite are the minority, but they're the majority of the leadership of Iran. Now this gets a little confusing here. The majority of the leadership of Iran is Shiite. Shiite Islam is the official religion of Iran. But the majority of Iranians are not Shiite Muslims. They are a variety of different denominations.
But the majority of the government is, in fact, absolutely all of the government is Shiite Muslim in Iran and they dominate. They are the distinct minority of Islam, however. And the Shiite Muslims and some Sunni Muslims, they believe in what's called the 12th Imam Islam, which means there are a series of the moms who descended from Muhammad in the 12th one as a child, disappeared into a fold in space, much like Christ disappearing after the resurrection and that he will come back and bring Jesus with him. And that there will be war against the infidel. And that ultimately Islam will prevail. And to bring about the apocalypse, one of the things that must happen is the destruction of Israel. The governing ideology of the leadership of Iran believes it is their God-given duty to destroy Israel in order to bring about the Madhi being that hidden Imam. They believe it is
their governmental duty to find a way to destroy Israel and kill the Jews because as long as they exist, the Madhi cannot come. You can listen to this and you can say it's absurd as absurd as the Christians thinking that we got to rebuild the temple and have a red heifer and all this stuff to bring about the second coming of Jesus. The reformed faith of Christianity and the Catholics don't really care. Like God's sovereign, he's got this, he's going to come back. We don't know when it's going to happen. We can't stop it. We're not going to we're not going to be the ones to be catalyst for it. We can't speed it up. We can't slow it down. It's going to happen. Let God do it. Dispensationalists take the idea of there are certain prophecies that must be fulfilled. We need to fulfill the prophecies and so we need to go rebuild the temple in Israel. We Israel has been established. We need to do these things. Reform Catholic Orthodox. I'm like, it's all going to happen on God's timetable. Go seek the welfare of the community which you live.
Now again, I'm painting with broad brushes so don't at me. Don't hate me. My point on all of this is for some of you, this is all kind of over your head and you're like, what the hell is he talking about? For secularists, particularly in the Democratic Party, they think this is all a bunch of nonsense. The thing that I'm trying to emphasize to you is that you may think it's all nonsense. Christians think it's very real. The Iranians believe it is their duty. They are put there by God to destroy Israel to bring about the apocalypse. That is why the Ayatollah Kamani wants nuclear weapons. It is why the Ayatollah Kamani Sun wants nuclear weapons. Many countries on this planet acquire nuclear weapons on the belief that if I have nuclear weapons, it's the ultimate deterrent no one
can attack me. Iran is singularly the only country on the planet that wants nuclear weapons in order to actually use them. India does not want to use its nukes. Pakistan does not want to use its nukes. China does not want to use its nukes. Russia does not want to use its nukes. Israel doesn't want to use its nukes. France doesn't want to use its nuclear weapons. The British don't want to use their nuclear weapons. We don't want to use our nuclear weapons. Iran wants a nuclear weapon not so it cannot be deterred but so it can blow up Israel to bring about the coming of the body and the apocalypse. It is a theological regime that has this theological belief and you can say it's nuts and I agree with you but it's their worldview. My worldview is there's a heaven and a hell and an atom and an even we fell in the garden and we were exiled and Jesus
Christ came and if you put your faith in Christ you can have relationship with God and he will come back and when you die you're going to go to heaven and you're going to have eternity with Jesus Christ. That is my the gospel is the good news of Jesus. There is nothing I can do to earn my way to heaven but I can say Jesus I want a relationship with you and he'll say my guy and fill me with the Holy Spirit and I will over time through a process of sanctification conform myself to be more Christ like and when I die as long as I'm believing in Jesus I'll go to heaven. That's my worldview. The Ayatollah's worldview is that in order to go to heaven I must kill the Jews and to wipe out the Jews is to bring about the body and the apocalypse which wins the fight for Islam and that's what I'm here to do on the planet. That's the Ayatollah's worldview. You could think my worldview is crazy okay. We should all recognize his worldview is crazy but you should also recognize it is his worldview it is the reason he exists and it is why we should
stop them from getting nuclear weapons at all costs because they're the only country on the planet that wants nuclear weapons in order to use them and I don't think Obama or Biden or the secularist they think of this stuff and they dismiss us and he can't possibly believe that he's a rational yes he's a very rational actor in the worldview of someone who wants to bring about the apocalypse which is why they're pursuing nuclear weapons.
