| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:08.5 | Greetings from insanely hot, humid, sunny Washington, D.C. |
| 0:15.6 | We start today with news that I think is simply objectively bad for probably 85 or 90% of political views that are |
| 0:25.4 | out there, but it's acutely bad for the Trump administration. |
| 0:29.3 | And the news is that even though you've now heard completely destroyed, obliterated, buried |
| 0:35.3 | underneath mountains of rubble about the results of those missile strikes |
| 0:40.0 | on Iranian nuclear facilities. There is now new reporting that that is very much not the case |

| 1:22.9 | That central crux of it seems to have been obliterated. The claims about what happened are what seemed |
| 1:30.9 | to have been obliterated. Now, of course, Donald Trump and his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, |
| 1:35.6 | and Caroline Levitt, they are continuing to insist that ordering these airstrikes succeeded |
| 1:42.7 | in ways you couldn't even imagine. |
| 1:45.3 | It was just a complete and total success. |
| 1:47.2 | But we now have intelligence. |
| 1:48.4 | We now actually have information from the defense intelligence agency. |
