Summary
-- On the Show:
— Trump, the self-proclaimed anti-war president, warns Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran—after blowing up the nuclear deal, igniting the region, and flirting with a catastrophic new war
— Trump crashes the G7 summit in a bizarre, humiliating display—ranting about Putin, dropping papers, and confusing basic facts while world leaders look on in disbelief
— Trump explodes at Pete Hegseth after his sad birthday military parade falls flat, then melts down as his team blames a biographer’s “peanut-sized brain” for leaking the truth
— In the middle of the night, Trump spirals online with unhinged rants about Iran, France, and Tucker Carlson—while the world braces for conflict and the White House denies peace talks
— California Governor Gavin Newsom shuts down a Republican congressman with one brutal stat: California’s homicide rate is lower than the red states screaming the loudest about “crime”
— Asked basic questions about the crisis he’s causing, Trump stumbles through gibberish, denies reality, and confirms he has no idea what he’s doing—or what he wants
— Tucker Carlson admits Fox News is a propaganda network—but conveniently forgets he was one of its top liars, now torching the house he helped build
— Fox News abruptly cuts away from a drunken propagandist Rebekah Koffler mid-interview, as her slurred rant about Trump’s military parade collapses on live TV
-- On the Bonus Show: California may ban masks for ICE agents, Trump sells a sketchy $499 smartphone, and Mike Lindell loses another $2.3 million defamation case, much more...

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. |
| 0:01.0 | You know, if someone were to come to me and say, hey, David, are you anti-war or pro-war |
| 0:15.6 | as a general concept? |
| 0:18.2 | Of course, it's a very abstract question, but I would consider myself anti-war in the sense |
| 0:25.5 | that my instinct, my preference is to see diplomacy as a much better option than war and to see war |
| 0:34.4 | as an only when necessary sort of thing. |
| 0:38.3 | Now Donald Trump swore up and down that he was the anti-war candidate. |
| 0:44.1 | He said this in 2016. |
| 0:46.3 | He said this in 2020. |
| 0:47.8 | He said this in 2024. |
| 0:49.6 | He said he would easily stop and prevent and get us out of if it started World War III. |
| 0:56.7 | He's the peace president, the guy who said Obama would bomb Iran simply to save face. |
| 1:03.9 | And that is the very same Donald Trump now ordering Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran. |
| 1:11.3 | It's not a typo. |
| 1:12.9 | It's not a joke. |
| 1:14.2 | It's the president of the United States warning a foreign capital that the military might |
| 1:20.5 | be coming and very hard. |
| 1:22.4 | Now, of course, the context here is that over the weekend, Israeli war planes struck inside of Iran, and this triggered |
| 1:29.6 | a very deadly exchange between Iran and Israel. |
| 1:34.2 | Hundreds of missiles fired some striking near American diplomatic zones in Israel, |
| 1:39.8 | Israel doubling down. |
| 1:40.8 | And the question is, where is Trump going to land on this whole thing? And Trump is now |
