Summary

President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, defending the military campaign as necessary to prevent a larger nuclear threat and asserting that Iran's air force, navy, and missile capabilities have been largely "knocked out." He denied claims that Israel, under Netanyahu, forced the U.S. into the war, instead claiming that "if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand" because he believed Iran was preparing to attack first amid failed negotiations. In a key moment, Trump announced new strikes targeting Iranian leadership and speculated on post-regime possibilities, noting that many potential moderate successors "are dead" after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He also threatened to cut off all trade ties with Spain, calling the country "terrible" and "unfriendly" for refusing to allow U.S. use of its military bases. Overall, Trump portrayed Operation Epic Fury as progressing ahead of schedule, while the conflict widened with Iranian retaliatory strikes on Gulf targets and U.S. pledges to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.

0:00.0	Pat Gray is here on the Blaze Radio Network.
0:14.5	Primary yesterday here in Texas in several locations throughout the country.
0:20.3	At the specific precinct I went to, there was a Republican area and a Democrat area.
0:27.7	And the Democrats were on the left appropriately.
0:30.8	The Republicans were on the right.
0:33.5	And the Democrats had two sad little booths, two sad machines on their side.
0:42.6	Oh, wow.
0:43.2	Wow.
0:43.7	Republicans had 12.
0:45.4	Wow.
0:47.0	And there was waiting in line for the Republican side.
0:51.5	One of the machines on the Democrat side was not being used.
0:57.0	It was not being used.

1:04.4	Yeah, and I'm sure because that was a hotly contested thing.
1:07.7	And nobody seemed to care, I think, between Cornyn, Paxton, I did, and Wesley. Yeah, John Cornyn, hello. Yeah. He's right there with Donald Trump. Yeah. Well, yeah, he's both with him. 99% of the time. So, Cornyn technically won 41 to 40, but going to be a runoff. Yep. Over Paxton. Because neither of them got to 50%. There's a runoff coming up. Meanwhile, Jasmine Crockett got her butt kicked. Right? We have a clip of her last night. She lost to James Tala Rico about 52 to 47, 53, 52, somewhere. She's happy. She took it well.
1:44.7	She took it well.
1:45.5	You know what you want to see her last night?
1:46.7	Yep.
1:47.2	Here we go.
1:47.7	So, um, so that's my news is that we're not going to have election results tonight,
