Summary
🛡️ Military Operation in Iran
- The U.S., under Trump’s command, launched a devastating airstrike targeting Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure.
- The operation included:
- Seven B-2 stealth bombers dropping 14 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s underground nuclear facility at Fordow.
- 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from a submarine targeting additional nuclear sites.
- Zero American casualties and high precision in execution.
📉 Impact on Iran
- The strike reportedly:
- Eliminated key Iranian military and nuclear personnel.
- Destroyed critical nuclear infrastructure, setting Iran’s nuclear program back by years.
- Prompted Iran to immediately seek a ceasefire, which the hosts interpret as a sign of Iran’s weakened position.
📰 Media and Political Reaction
- Cruz and Ferguson criticize mainstream media and Democrats for allegedly downplaying the success of the strike.
- They claim a preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report was leaked to undermine Trump, despite later confirmations from U.S., Israeli, and even UN sources that the damage was severe.
💬 Criticism of Isolationism
- Cruz strongly criticizes Tucker Carlson and others advocating for non-interventionist policies, arguing that Trump’s decisive action prevented greater conflict.
- He warns against appeasement strategies like those under Obama and Biden, which he claims emboldened Iran.
💰 Concerns About Future Policy
- Cruz expresses concern that some within the Trump administration might push for sanctions relief or financial aid to Iran post-strike, which he vehemently opposes.
🇺🇸 Patriotism and Military Praise
- The episode repeatedly emphasizes support for U.S. troops, celebration of American strength, and praise for Trump’s leadership.
- The hosts argue that “peace through strength” is the only effective foreign policy approach.

| 0:59.8 | Trump acted decisively as the commander-in-chief. He launched an attack on Iran that was brutally |
