Summary
-- On the Show:
-- California Governor Gavin Newsom joins David to discuss the deployment of federal troops to California by Donald Trump, Trump's apparently memory issues, and much more...
— Trump slurs through a chaotic announcement that he bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, declaring “now is the time for peace” after launching a war without congressional approval
— Trump’s anti-war brand officially collapses as he calls for “regime change” in Iran, while Bolton, Kayleigh, and Fox News start selling a new Forever War
— Trump’s press secretary openly floats toppling Iran’s government, confirming what everyone suspected: this was always about regime change
— The MAGA movement splits in real time over the bombing, with Trump’s base now fighting over whether he’s a warmonger or a savior
— Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth blames former President Joe Biden for the Iran crisis, rewrites history on North Korea and China, and dodges every question about Trump’s attack on Iran
— Trump’s bruised and swollen hand goes viral again, raising serious health questions that corporate media keeps ignoring
— Trump has a meltdown over Fox News after I appear on the show and Jessica Tarlov calls him out — then he unleashes a deranged rant on Truth Social

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:09.0 | So much to talk about. |
| 0:10.0 | I hope that if you are in one of the areas of the country plagued by the heat wave, that the air conditioning is working. |
| 0:18.0 | If you see me glistening, it is not flop sweat. It's that the air conditioning |
| 0:24.0 | is trickling out very quietly, like Donald Trump likes to say, but it is very, very hot. And we have |
| 0:31.9 | extraordinary, arguably unprecedented circumstances. I don't know that entering a war has ever been announced on Troth Central, but Donald Trump |
| 0:42.4 | announcing first that the U.S. has joined the campaign against Iran on truth social. |
| 0:51.0 | Quote, we have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, |
| 0:58.8 | including Fordo, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of |

| 1:25.6 | It is definitely weird to bomb a country and then go, this is the time for peace. |
| 1:33.2 | Now that we have completed our bombing, it is obviously the time for peace. |
| 1:37.4 | Donald Trump holding a 10 p.m. Eastern address on the same day to announce that it is time for peace. Some very risky pronunciations here. |
| 1:48.4 | You'll also notice Trump slurring. He seemed disoriented during this entire thing. |
| 1:54.0 | At one point, he says something like Nugular Andridgman, Nugular andridgman. |
| 2:00.8 | Nuclear collaboration. Right. And thengman, Nugular andridgman. Nuclear proliferation. |
| 2:02.9 | Right. |
