the box. I love my Tocovas. My Tocovas. Look, do I look like a boots guy, but I have them and I wear them because, honestly, they're awesome. They're really comfortable, too.

Point your toes west. There will be boots on the ground, but not the way that the liars are telling you there will be boots on the ground. The worst case scenario for leadership in Iran, still better than the Ayatollahs, and of course the Europeans remain gigantic

cowards. Now, let's begin with this. A lot of people are asking questions about what happens

1:16.1

after the Ayatollahs are gone in Iran, right? Great question. And here is the answer from America's

1:21.0

perspective, America first, almost certainly something better than what was. In reality, the only way America would be worse off

1:29.4

thanks to the current action is if the regime in Tehran is replaced with a worse regime run by

1:34.5

even worse Ayatollahs with even faster access to nuclear materials, ballistic missile

development, and terror funding. Right. That's it. If you have somebody who's worse with more resources speeding toward an even

1:47.1

Now, there are a ton of people out there on the left, a lot of the left, and of course on the horseshoe online click right, or ignoring that simple fact that the Ayatollahs are the worst possible regime at this point, barring some sort of cataclysmic and unforeseeable failure.

2:34.5

These people yell about the evils of regime change, about the dangers of a longstanding

2:38.1

occupation with boots on the ground and all the rest.

2:40.5

So let's talk about all of that right now.
