Hello everybody and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us on another beautiful day in America. We are live tonight for The Great America Show. So you know what to do. Let us know what you're tuned in from while we still work to get our regular audience back. Just have to apologize again for not letting you guys know it. Taking a scheduled vacation last week and that took the week off. I'm still trying to work off this damn sunburn. I guess it's not exactly a perk to be Irish as the lasting effect of sun stays on you for quite some time. That is quite notable. So I appreciate each and every one of you guys who are with us tonight for The Great America Show and we're with us yesterday back after taking a week off. So what a week it was to take off on Friday. We watched Iran go up in flames after some much inflammatory comments from the once tough guy Ayatola who's not so tough anymore because he's dead and I guess he really has nobody but to thank but himself. I mean he

really did bring it upon himself for years 20 plus years 30 plus years for hateful threatening deathful rhetoric out of his country out of his regime towards America. Jeff to America didn't really think it was going to end well for him and I guess as I asked that question to you the answer is probably yes. He probably did think he was going to be fine and it's because of the feckless leaders of the past. The George W. Bush's, the Bill Clinton's, the Jimmy Carter's, the Barack Hussein Obama's, the Joe Biden's. So yes he probably did think it was going to end up fine because just a few years ago, 10 years ago, almost to the day in July, we sent them 1.8 billion dollars in cash, pallets of cash on a private jet. So he probably did think he was going to be okay

because he was negotiating with Barack Hussein Obama at the time then came in Joe Biden which was just pretty much a continuation of Joe Biden, the same bullshit rhetoric, the same negotiating and bad faith to which he did. And we didn't find out until last week actually it was this week that Steve Whitcliffe had met with them just a few months ago to which they relate to him that they had enough enriched uranium to make 11 nuclear weapons. No, it's never been confirmed obviously that they have nuclear weapons. But based on the geographical aerial footage and the geothermal print, it appears that for the last five plus years they have been enriching their uranium to the levels needed. Now we've been told that the level that they're at now or the level it was is just a short process away from actually turning it nuclear.

So it takes X amount of years, 10 plus years to actually enrich the uranium, but once you hit a certain percentage of that enriched uranium it's a very short process to then turn that nuclear. So our US intelists told us that that's where we're at. They're at that point where at any given day they can turn on within a month's notice I think they'd said and they can get these things cruising. They can get them rolling. So Trump has said it, Marco Rubio has said it, that this was the plan all along. President Trump was down in Texas and Corpus Christi on Friday eating at a water burger. We're here to ready to give him the go ahead to General Raising Cain that what they were going to blow up and take off the Iatola irrespective of what Israel wanted. Because that's the notion that you hear now is that Donald Trump did this at the behest of Israel. As you heard, I spoke with Congress from Cory Mills yesterday. I'm going to spend many years in the military. At what point do we have the duty

to the President of the United States of the duty to protect the homeland? We watched what happened just hours after the attack on the Iatola. And we watched a radical Islamist Muslim go out in Texas and shoot up a college bar to which his hoodie said, a law on it, property of a law. And we've known about these sleeper cells because they're all around America to which I asked Cory Mills yesterday, if they're such good people and they negotiate in such good faith, why do they have sleeper cells here in America ready to act at any time? And they've had them for the last 26 years. They had them here in America during 9-11, as they trained pilots to fly planes. So this is something that we've been living with here in this country. It's been longer than 26 years, but has really started to morph into something else over the last 26 years. Now Secretary of State Marco Rubio issuing a stark warning this afternoon that the United States is about to drastically escalate its military campaign against Iran,

declaring that the next phase of strikes will bring a massive surge in power and intensify as the West moves to dismantle the Iranian regime and their military capabilities. Now we watched, which I thought was probably one of the best things we've seen in a long time, perhaps better than some of President Trump's dialogue with Kim Jong-un. We watched Tim Melek, the new Iatola, a new leader for him to be killed, and then another one for him to be killed. And I think the latest one they're on is actually the Iatola Comedy Sun, who based on the last four elected in the last 24 hours, I think his chances of becoming, what they say America is going to be nuclear ash, his chances of becoming ash are pretty, pretty, pretty high. Now this new warning from Marco comes as the US consulate in Dubai was let on fire after it was hit by an Iranian drone this afternoon. So they're continuing now. I also told this to Cory Mills yesterday. You know, we operated under the notion that for the

last 20 plus years that Iran had this really good military because we watched what they did in the Strait of Harmoos act like thugs and take our Marines captive and you know, take some photographs of them. But we operated under the notion that these people had this really strong military and that their arsenal was strong and that their artillery was strong and that they can launch missiles not like a bunch of towelheads and that they can land these things. God, but it turns out as we've seen some of them landing unexploded, some of them taking diversions and they're actually launching them into civilian areas in Dubai and UAE and Qatar, which tells you who these people are. These are fellow Muslim countries. So if that they're doing that to their Muslim neighbors, which everyone in that region hates Iran, Pakistan and UAE and Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which some of them were now told they're going to be joining in the ground fight or the air fight, I should say,

against them. But we were told for years that these people were top notch that we should be terrified by them and we should we should be scared of the nuclear program as we should be scared of anyone and anyone's nuclear program, including France or India or Pakistan. But by far, an Iranian regime getting a nuclear weapon is far more hinged and deranged than any of those countries I listed and any of the countries that have nuclear weapons. I'd even put them above North Korea. I think for what it's worth, Kim Jong Un, probably has a little bit of level. I didn't ask to him to realize that should he ever try to launch any sort of nuclear weapon that he'd be washed off the face of the earth. And I don't think he wants that. Whereas the Ayatollah is a total martyr who didn't care to go down and get his 72 virgins. It's in their religion, quite frankly, it's in their scripture. So Marco Rubio was on Capitol Hill today and he was asked about that.

Was this operation done and was this operation exudited at the best of Israel? And he had a very succinct answer. No, first, well, let me two things I would say. No matter what, ultimately, this operation needed to happen. That's the question of why now. But this operation needed to happen because Iran in about a year or a year and a half would cross the line of immunity. Meaning, they would have so many short-range missiles, so many drones that no one could do anything about it because they could hold the whole world hostage. Look at the damage they're doing now. And this is a weakened Iran. Imagine a year from now. So that had to happen. Obviously, we were aware of it's really intentions and understood what that would mean for us. And we had to be prepared to act as a result of it. But this had to happen no matter what. Now I've said from the beginning, I've said from the onset, and I like JD Vance. I've met him a bunch of times and I spoke a bunch of times that I felt Marco Rubio was going to be given a bigger role to which we're now seeing. I don't know what that means for JD Vance or the presidential aspirations of him. I like him

both, but Marco Rubio has taken a massive role in this entire operation. He's been by president Trump side 99% of the way. Physically, I'm saying he's been with 100% of the way in logic. It was there the night that the extracted Maduro and he was there the night with the president Trump or the afternoon that president Trump decided to make the call and ultimately made the call out of Marlago. So it's just begun. We're going to get to so much more president Trump held the press conference today with the chancellor of Germany. And they're doubling down an unlikely friend getting in this war with us and a very unlikely friend deciding to part ways with America over in Europe. And it's probably going to hurt them. It's probably going to hurt them. We're taking a quick break here. We'll be right back. Please stay with us.

Support is available 24 seven with verbo care. We're here day or night. Ready whenever you need help because a great trip starts with the right support. Thanks everybody for staying with us here. So Marco Rubio has intimated. It has been one of president Trump's strongest supporters. Through every operation they've run so far. And the thing you keep hearing from the Democrats because they're so upset that they're not the loop this time. And you notice that this time around in this administration there's zero leaks. This thing is so airtight because they got rid of a lot of the scumbags over in the administration. And part of the reason is they don't let the Democrats know what their next moves are. They don't let them in on what their moves are. And it's quite honestly it's for the sake of America. It's for the safety of our troops. It's for the safety of this country. So they're all upset that he didn't notify Congress. But can you imagine if Donald Trump went to

Congress or Mark said Marco Rubio to Congress and told one of these Muslim radicalists Ilhan Omar Rashid Talib that he was ready to take the wigs off these people. It would have been everywhere. The whole mission would have been compromised. It would have been on every news outlet. It would have been leaked everywhere. So Marco Rubio doubled down on the radical dens this afternoon. When he was asked why he didn't notify Congress. And boy did he scorch him. Why not notify Congress? We notified Congress. I mean we notified the gang of A. We notified congressional leadership. There's no law that requires us to do that. The law says we have to notify them 48 hours after beginning hostilities. We've done that. I think the notification went today. But we did notify members of Congress in advance. But we can't notify 535 members of Congress. Both right for one. The Congress can vote on whatever they want. But there's no law that requires us to do that. And I want to say something because I see people on TV. Look that's fine. If they want to take the war powers vote they can do that. They've done that. They've done that a bunch of times.

But there's no people keep saying that we have there's no law that requires the president to have done anything with regards to this. So begin with no president's presidential administration has ever accepted the War Powers Act as constitutional. Not Republican presidents, not Democratic presidents. That said we have followed the notification at 48 hours. And we're here today. I've done more gang of A briefings than I got in the four years of Biden's president and I was a member of the gang of A. All that said we've complied with a law 100% and we're going to continue to comply with that we've done the notification, you know, and we've officially to Congress. But we did notify members of Congress. We just can't notify 535 people. That's not possible. But we did the gang of eight twice. I briefed them last week and then I called them the night before the operation. So going back to what I said, a magic calling and letting Ilhan Omar know the Somalian fraud pirate that they were about to bomb Iran. It wouldn't have worked out well for anybody. And I know to put our military members in great, great, great danger.

Because they can't be trusted. These people are literally low lives who hate America. And it's only gotten worse. They've only gotten their Trump derangement syndrome has only gotten worse. And the whole thing has gotten just the lid has been blown off. These people are fully masked off as they let us know who they really are. Now, President Trump was asked this afternoon in a press conference about the world being united. That seems the world is united behind this. And for the most part, they are with the exception of course of China, who's not going to take any military. This is not a good friend, by the way, for a rent. They're not going to take any military power against anyone going after them, because they know, by the way, it's whether they get their oil from Russia too. And Russia, who also is not going to take any military power. So by Donald Trump

doing this, not only did you eliminate probably the most evil man on this planet, but you reasserted America's dominance on the world stage. You looked in the eyes of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and you said, don't you ever effing mess with my country. It's exactly what he did. Because America in the last eight years is the only country that's entered, we'll call it a war. And as looks stronger going in and out of that war, then presumed going in. The only country, we see Iran now, firing off their blank shots. And we watched Russia struggle in the war against Ukraine. So it makes me question, is China really strong as people say they are? Because I think all these countries are waking up and realizing America's not to be messed with.

Donald Trump's not playing games, and he's not a war president. He's not a president who wants war. But he knows things that we don't know. And he knows things that media don't know. And I think he thought this was essential. So he was asked this afternoon about the world being united behind this invasion of Iran. Take a listen. Mr. President, we've seen countries around the world, many of whom don't usually work together working with the United States on Iran, whether it's Saudi Arabia or the United States, Israel, Qatar is shooting down Iranian aircraft, and we've also seen European country stuff up. Why are we seeing such unity around the world against Iran? That's a great point. I look, they're just evil. They're not the politics, they're just the whole philosophy. It's the whole where they come from. It's terrible. Where they kill 35,000, I thought it was 32. Now it turns out much more than 35,000

people. And in some cases, using machine guns with people that have no weapon, they have no weapon, and they're being machine gunned, they're being snipered from buildings, they're hitting the people with snipers right through the eyes. It's just a very evil ideology. And nobody's really seen anything like it. As I said, even the fact that they've attacked all of their neighbors, and the neighbors weren't attacking. They thought they'd maybe sit it out or what, they've hit Qatar, they've hit UAE, they've hit Saudi Arabia, they've hit Oman, they were helping us negotiate. Everybody got hit because they're evil and they're bad. It's a bad scene in somebody had to do it, and it should have been done sometime during a 47-year period because so much death has been caused by them, so much unbelievable

death. From Germany to, I mean Germany's been hit, everybody's been hit by them. It's an evil ideology. And I've never been, look, I've done a lot of good things, so many people say thank you, thank you, thank you. You see it in the streets of Los Angeles. They have thousands of people. I saw it the other day, pictures of Donald Trump, and I'm looking, I'm on the phone, probably talking to you, and I'm looking, and I see my picture, I say, oh no, it's another protest. I see my, and then I start saying, boy, they're very friendly people, and then I saw a woman hugging the picture of me. I say, what's going on? And it turned out to be these are Iranian people that live in the United States, thousands, and you saw the rallies, and in New York too, they had a big rally by pictures all over the place. The fact is that people are happy what we did. Yeah, I think the world is happy, and I think Iranian people are definitely happy. And I think for sure it was the right move that

they had to be done. Now, boots on the ground is a completely different scenario, totally different scenario. And we're going to talk about that. But first, I want to just bring some news that just came out as we're live here. They released the names of the four four of the soldiers who were killed in Kuwait. They were all assigned to the 103rd sustainment command in Des Moines, Iowa. Those who were killed, Captain Cody, Cork, 35 years old, of Winter, Haven, Florida, Sergeant First Class Noah Tiethens, 42 years old, of Bellevue, Nebraska, Sergeant First Class Nicole Emma Moore, 39 years old, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, specialist, Declan, Cody, 20 years old, of West Des Moines, Iowa, they all died. I want to rock it was shot into their command in Kuwait by these scumbag Iranian regime.

So we want to send our condolences to their family. And just reading those names, make you make sure to think about it even more. The difference between this operation and running now and boots on the ground. And I don't think there's any scenario, any circumstance where we can get to where we do that. I'm all for lighting them up from the air. I mean, level. Every single bad guy you got in there. But this is not a ground war for our American troops. It's not a war that we're going to put our kids on the ground there. It's just not. Now, you've got the neo-con fashion of the party. That's very, very dangerous, very dangerous. Now, luckily, I don't think President Trump listens to them. But one of them is Lindsey Graham, who's just a terrible human being, terrible human being, big stock investor in military industrial complex companies.

They go listen to how excited he got this afternoon when he was asked about boots on the ground. It's not normal. Also, how are we not going to be drawn into a large ground operation? There is no reason right now to use troops. But if we need them, the goal is victory. Listen to this. Donald Trump is seeking victory against the Iranian regime. Who's going to win a war between the Iranian regime and the United States? We are. We're going to win this conflict. We have Arab partners today that we didn't have yesterday. So, this is going to end with us winning in the Itollis regime going down. What happens next is up to the Iranian people. So, what I would tell the American people, pull for victory. Hope that this works well. Pull for the idea that the Iranian people can live without the Itollis. That they can be a new Iran emerges from the ashes of this regime. It would be a good thing for the world. At the end of the day, the region is committed to seeing it

through. Iran is trying to break their will. It is backfired. So... So, that's the only thing that terrifies me. And that's the neo-confection of the Republican part. There should be no boots on the ground at any circumstances. For what reason? If you want boots on the ground, put boots on the ground and I'll start in order. We are protecting our border and our homeland, which I think we may soon see. But I don't think there's any circumstance where we put boots on the ground in another Middle Eastern country. For what reason? We've shown that damage can be done from the sky. We've shown with great precision that damage can be done from the sky. So, I don't think there's any circumstance, any rationale, or any reasoning. And I think President Trump knows that.

Now, you put one soul on the ground, one American soul on the ground there. We're taking a quick break here, folks. And inside this quick break, much, much more to come, President Trump's got some wise words for Spain, Bill Clinton, defense president Trump, and Supreme Court weighs in on an unlikely congressional race. All of that and much, much more right here on The Great America Show. If you join us on Roblox YouTube, please be sure to hit that like, subscribe, and follow button.

So, President Trump, going after some of the European Union countries, we decided they don't want to be involved in this. Some of the European nations have been helpful and some haven't. And I'm very surprised. The Germany has been great. He's been terrific. Others have been very good to repeat.

I think that the head of NATO mark is fantastic. Mark Ruta. I think he's fantastic. But some of the European like Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. First of all, it started when every European nation, I might request paid 5%, which they should be doing. And everybody was enthusiastic about a Germany. Everybody. And Spain didn't do it. And now Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's sort of a riddle. And we could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it. But we don't have to. But they were unfriendly. And so I told him that we don't want to. Spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people. They have great people. But they don't have great leadership. And as you know, they were the only country that a NATO would not agree to go up to 5%.

I don't think they wouldn't agree to go up to anything. They wanted to keep it a 2%, and they don't pay the 2%. So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain. And by the way, I'm not happy with the UK either. That island that you read about. The lease. He made it for whatever reason. He made a lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away from him. And it's taken three, four days for us to work out where we can land. There would have been much more convenient landing. There's opposed to flying many extra hours. So we are very surprised. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with. They heard it from the man's mouth. He's not happy with these European countries who want everything from America. But then when it comes time to helping America and the rest of the world

from tyrannical terrorists, they run. And they duck and they hide. One of those countries, Spain, which President Trump doubled down, that Spain's in trouble. Some of the European like Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told the Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain, first of all, it started when every, every, as you're it again, their Spain is in trouble. Cut off all dealings with them. And rightfully so. Rightfully so. They want to shut down their airports to us to use. National security safety. That's fine. I'm not feeling there's something coming your way with the T on it. Some would call it tariffs. Now Germany fully behind us. Chancellor's with President Trump this afternoon, doubled down and letting President know we've got your back. As I said in Germany, the last two days, we are supporting the United States and Israel to get rid of this terrible

terrorist regime. And we are looking forward to a day after. And we have to talk about the strategy. What is what is following after this this regime is away. And we have to strategize on this entire region. And we are having a high interest in common approach and common work and what we can do. And this is this is important not just for the Americans. This is extremely important for Europe and extremely important for Israel and their their security. So we are really looking forward to find ways how to deal about the day after. And like I said, an unlikely supporter. Another unlikely supporter right here in America has been pretty solid for the conservatives as John Federer. Top 55 of them were killed. And I think they just blew up 80 of the randoms. Moolized too. I mean, that was pretty great actually. So all right.

Administration officials concluded to. The moolats as he calls them. I wouldn't feel very safe right now if I was a Iranian regime or walking around Iran. I just wouldn't. Wouldn't sit right in my stomach seeing what's been done to everybody. What's about to happen to me. In other news folks, you have Supreme Court delivering a decisive victory, 63 ruling blocking the New York, Marxist dams attempt to redraw the state's lone Republican held congressional district in New York City where I live. New York 11, the case of Malia Takas versus Williams, centers on New York's 11th congressional district, covering Staten Island and parts of Southern Brooklyn, currently represented by Congress from Nicole Malia Takas. February, Malia Takas formally asked I court to intervene after a New York trial judge ordered the state to redraw the district. And what critics say was an avoid attempt to engineer

a race-based political outcome controversy began when a group of voters challenged the battles of New York's 11th conclinian, complaining that it diluted Black and Latino voting powers in violation of the New York Constitution. The way to draw on right now is, Staten Island is kind of like the boot of Sicily or Italy of Sicily, South of Italy. And Brooklyn is the country of Italy. And they wanted to come out and take Brooklyn out, which sits right on the northern part of Staten Island. And they wanted to put in New York City. They wanted to go through the most radical parts of Brooklyn and go into, and they drew like they've drawn some of the most absurd congressional mass that we've seen in this country, some of the like the ones in Maryland and Wisconsin. And we take the Supreme Court for doing the right thing. We're also going to thank somebody unlikely right now for tonight for doing something doing the right thing. And President Bill Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee.

And was answered a question from Rhino Thomas Massey, where he tried to implicate President Trump. Thomas Massey, that is, to which Bill Clinton doubled down twice and reiterated twice that when he spoke to President Trump in the early 2000s, he had never mentioned anything to him about Jeffrey Epstein or any of their dealings and was completely disassociated with him. Let's take a listen in. I hate this, but because I don't believe I should inject anything, but I do not want to leave the impression. But since there was no follow-up question, and he never, the President, never, this is 20-something years ago, never said anything to me, to make me think he was involved with anything improper with regard to Epstein either. He just didn't. That's the true thought, but you know, as I said earlier, the only conversation I have with President Trump about this was in the early 2000s.

And I have no information that he did anything wrong. I just wanted all out there. I want everybody to get it all out there and let everybody see where we are. I hate this, but because I don't believe I should do it. He's vindicated once again. President Trump vindicated once again. Democrats can't be happy about it. Before we wrap up, folks, I want to get to some of your shout-outs here, some of your questions, all that good stuff. G-Y-G-W-F-I-2. Good afternoon, Patriots and beautiful San Diego. Appreciate you guys tuning in. Barack Obama was very confused as he saw the USA dropping moms in the Anatolia as he dropped pallets of cash. Absolutely the case. We've got some inflammatory stuff, which you can't. Some of you guys in this chat are pretty funny. Bill Clinton, I've seen Congressional panel. What's the definition of trap? Ask the Epstein panel. What's the definition of trafficking?

Bill is not doing well. This isn't true at all, whoever is pushing. This is my guy's United more than ever. We've had Ukrainian, Israel, probably the woman's vote as well. I'm not saying they're not united. This is a matter of fact, I said quite the opposite tonight that they are united. No war in maggots, just the lefties or rhinos trying to divide us, but united, we stand. Yeah, but there are some outliers. And if I spend more time on Twitter than I should be every day, there are outliers in the Republican Party who are outraged by it and go and berserk. This is a long one, Vivian. It's not enough for the kings of anti-Magger and Paul and Thomas Massey. They interpret everything in their narrow libertarian world. The American people have rejected libertarian ideas. We also find times where we must act with their Massey or Paul believes show or not. Their views are extremely narrow-minded. You know, the blue tabs used to say,

libertarian is a mental illness because you're absolutely right. Larry, I am not for boots on the ground either. Yeah, I don't think there's any circumstance in which we should. And for those people who think that we should, they should be the first to sign up. And they should go ahead and put their boots on the ground. And it's usually the people who have never served this country in anything more than, you know, a boy scout got calls for boots on the ground in a foreign country. We'll get the job done from the air. We don't need to put our children in harm's way. And if that's how you feel, you should be the first to sign up or sign your kids up. Because I'm not in favor of it. And I think an overwhelming majority of people of Americans are. And I know who dobs would not be in favor of boots on the ground. And I ran under any circumstance. Folks, that's all for us tonight here on The Great America Show. We hope to see you back here tomorrow from The Great America Show Truth, Justice and the American Way. Always at the forefront. Till tomorrow, may God bless you,

may God bless America and may God bless the great blue dobs. Have a great night everybody. We'll see you tomorrow.
