| 1:35.7 | going to die well well it's true and we will all eventually die what everyone is apparently very |
| 1:42.1 | afraid of is that we are going to get into a nuclear exchange with the Iranians, who we were told, by the way, don't have nuclear weapons. Why is everyone so worried today? Well, because Iranian dictator Hassan Rouhani, who really is just a stand-in for the Mullahs, he said over the weekend that if the United States got into a shooting war with the Iranians, then it would be the quote-unquote mother- all wars. Now, this is something that the Iranians have been saying frequently since 1979, the mother of all wars. We're going to take on the great Satan and all the rest of it. Well, President Trump was in kind of a bad mood over the weekend. You can just tell, like from his Twitter feed, you can tell that he was in a bad mood. One of the nice things about the president, it's so funny. Everybody is always doing this sort of Kremlinology on the administration. Kremlinology is what people used to do in the 1980s, 1970s, where you were trying to figure out, by the public statement of the Russian administration, the Soviet Union, you were trying to figure out what it was they were thinking. So it was all this kind of puzzling out. What exactly are they doing behind the scenes? With President Trump, ain't no crumlinology. It's just what the guy says on Twitter. So President Trump goes on Twitter and he tweets out this, to Iranian President Rouhani, and then this is all in capitals, all in capitals, never ever threaten the United States again, or you will suffer consequences, the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. |
| 2:52.8 | We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. |
| 2:56.3 | Be cautious. |
| 2:58.0 | And it's all in capital letters. |
| 3:00.1 | When the caps lock guy invented caps lock, little did he know that it was going to lead to a nuclear |
| 3:03.9 | exchange. |
| 3:04.7 | This is apparently the sort of deathcon two of Twitter. If Twitter |
| 3:09.6 | actually had a bold or italics function, then we'd presumably be in the middle of a nuclear |
| 3:13.5 | exchange already. Now people on the left take this tweet and they say, well, this means that the |
| 3:18.3 | president of the United States is going to start a war with Iran. He's going to go into Iran to distract |
| 3:22.8 | from his domestic scandals. Okay, first of all, why would he possibly want to distract from the fact that his poll numbers are pretty good, as we're going to get to in just one second? But second of all, I think that we need to take a little bit of a deep breath when it comes to President Trump's tweeting. I have been saying this consistently for more than two years, that just because the president tweets something doesn't mean that it means anything. I'm old enough to remember when the president of the United States said about North Korea that there would be fire and fury and fire and fire and fire fury and fire fury. I remember that. And everybody was like, oh my God, we're going to war with North Korea. We're all going to die. And then there was a missile alert, a fake missile alert over Hawaii. And everybody said, oh, we're on the brink of massive thermonuclear war. And then it turns out that President Trump, all he really wanted was to go to South Korea and play golf with Kim Jong-un. That's really all he wanted out of the thing. And then he came back and he said that Kim Jong-Lood been disarmed, which he hadn't. And that was pretty much the end of it. We went back to what |
