Summary

Tonight we’re diving into the growing rift inside the MAGA world as prominent right-wing voices and some of Trump’s own supporters question the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Even figures who normally defend Trump are pushing back, arguing this war looks a lot like the very foreign entanglements he once promised to avoid. Meanwhile, the geopolitical situation is spiraling with regional retaliation, soaring oil prices, and fears of a wider war across the Middle East. And here at home? Polls show a majority of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling the Iran conflict. So… is the MAGA coalition starting to crack? And how will this play with voters while Trump’s approval numbers continue to drop? This episode is sponsored by Graza. Take your food to the next level with Graza.

And the president is giving, Donald Trump is giving an update on everything.

He's talking about the war.

0:51.6

He's talking about the state.

0:52.8

Look, Donald Trump, Donald Trump is a whiny little bitch. I mean, he is just like whining over everything. He was just whining moments ago about the Democrats not standing up during the state of the union. Now, I don't know, understand why that was a week ago. Does anybody care anymore? The opposition party never stands up. They wouldn't stand up. They said for some heroes or someone, I forget who he's talking about. They never stand up for that. And maybe they're not standing up, too, because you're using them as props. And they don't want to be a part of it, which is understandable. So this is what I'm talking about. This is why I say he's one. Let's just see, I'm going to pick it up. I don't know, this is live. He's in Dural, Florida. And so just listen. They were sort of neutral, but they weren't doing it. All of a sudden, they're getting hit with missiles. And they could have gone one of two ways. They could have gone toward their side, like, we're with you, or they could have gone with our side, and they really went with our side, and they've helped us, and they've been a big force. But they got hit. But they were going to be hit with us. had we not done the B2 raid and have if we not done this one, where we said, nope, it's time to go in, we have to go in, have no choice. Number one, if we didn't go in, they would have come in after us, because I see the Democrats trying to justify it, and they're failing because the voter on the street are saying, you've got to be kidding. But I see where they're going. Okay. They're always saying, no, no. There was no reason. Well, I'll give you the best reason of all. Let me just say this. The voter on the street who I talk to, and if you're looking at the polling on this war, the voter in the street doesn't want it. That is, he's lying right there. God, this man, I don't understand how anybody can, like, support or believe this man. If my own father lied this much, I'd be like, Dad, I don't know when to believe you because you rarely tell the truth. You said you were going out for some milk or a pack of cigarettes and then you didn't come home for 20 years.

2:51.6

That's what Donald Trump.

2:53.6

All right, let's see what else. Let's go. Listen, listen.

They wiped out the almost 20%, maybe 22, 23%, but the rest are going very quickly.

3:03.6

And the missiles have been largely knocked out.

3:06.6

The drones have been knocked down and we're hitting where they make the drones.

3:10.3

We know them all, and we're knocking the hell out of that now where they manufacture the drones.

3:15.3

A lot of work, a lot of brilliant work, but we're going to have a much safer world as soon as it's finished,

3:21.3

and it's going to be finished pretty quickly.

3:23.3

With the help of our House Republican majority,

3:26.0

3:29.0

and we have to be talking about it.

And with the great big, beautiful bill,
