Charlie Kirk Today | Rob Schneider: June 18, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | June 18, 2026

The question that we keep getting asked and often
00:00:09.032 --> 00:00:11.601
In good faith, by the way, is this
00:00:11.601 --> 00:00:14.304
Iran deal, the new jcpoa 2.0, is it just like that?
00:00:14.304 --> 00:00:18.308
I had somebody that was texted me yesterday saying,
00:00:18.308 --> 00:00:20.276
Tell people what the jcpoa, jcpoa, sorry, jcpoa
00:00:20.276 --> 00:00:23.913
Was the original sort of nuke deal to try and get iran
00:00:23.913 --> 00:00:28.017
To stop their nuclear program
00:00:28.017 --> 00:00:29.252
That obama, hillary clinton and john kerry oversaw,
00:00:29.252 --> 00:00:32.956
Which involved a front loaded deal
00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:35.125
Filled with pallets of cash that we airlifted
00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:37.961
Over to iran, right, to bribe them
00:00:37.961 --> 00:00:40.497
To get them to do what we wanted to.
00:00:40.497 --> 00:00:42.398
And so a lot of people have been texting me,
00:00:42.398 --> 00:00:45.235
In good faith, genuinely.
00:00:45.235 --> 00:00:47.003
I want to love this deal.
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:48.338
I want to be supportive,
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:49.572
But it just feels like the jcpoa to point out.
00:00:49.572 --> 00:00:53.143
And i want to explain why that's not true.
00:00:53.143 --> 00:00:55.378
First of all, it's not front loaded.
00:00:55.378 --> 00:00:57.680
So there's no pallets of cash, there's no american money,
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.049
Not one red cent of american money,
00:01:00.049 --> 00:01:01.518
But there are financial incentives.
00:01:01.518 --> 00:01:03.820
People here that and they go, it's just like the jcpoa.
00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:07.290
My question to them would be what
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:10.093
Other levers and mechanisms does the world run on?
00:01:10.093 --> 00:01:13.563
There's only so many things you can offer as
00:01:13.563 --> 00:01:15.798
An incentive for good behavior because less guess what?
00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:19.335
In a deal, both sides need to feel like
00:01:19.335 --> 00:01:21.437
They're getting something worthwhile.
00:01:21.437 --> 00:01:23.106
If you're going to make a deal.
00:01:23.106 --> 00:01:24.607
That's what happens now.
00:01:24.607 --> 00:01:25.775
I think there is an old paradigm
00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:27.477
When it comes to treaties like the treaty of versailles
00:01:27.477 --> 00:01:31.047
Or whatever.
00:01:31.047 --> 00:01:32.649
Where were you once?
00:01:33.116 --> 00:01:34.217
I totally concede defeat.
00:01:34.217 --> 00:01:35.785
The other says i am victorious. completely.
00:01:35.785 --> 00:01:38.154
That's not the paradigm that president trump is using.
00:01:38.154 --> 00:01:40.790
President trump is using a paradigm
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:42.525
Of a businessman who's trying to make deals
00:01:42.525 --> 00:01:45.328
That are mutually beneficial.
00:01:45.328 --> 00:01:47.096
Yes, but we get what we want.
00:01:47.096 --> 00:01:48.665
And what do we want?
00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:49.899
We want to denuclearize iran.
00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:52.302
We want them not to have a nuke so they can blow up israel.
00:01:52.302 --> 00:01:55.071
They blow up the middle east or blow up europe.
00:01:55.071 --> 00:01:56.973
Okay.
00:01:56.973 --> 00:01:58.708
Are you trying to.
00:01:58.708 --> 00:01:59.609
Well, it's it's exactly what it is.
00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:01.744
What you say, which is.
00:02:01.744 --> 00:02:04.214
Oh, there was a lot of
00:02:04.214 --> 00:02:06.216
Frustration, anger
00:02:06.216 --> 00:02:07.317
When this conflict began because people were saying
00:02:07.317 --> 00:02:10.086
President trump promised he would never get into war.
00:02:10.086 --> 00:02:12.388
And people pointed out who are more
00:02:12.388 --> 00:02:13.656
In favor of the war, said no.
00:02:13.656 --> 00:02:14.958
He always said iran will not get a nuclear weapon.
00:02:14.958 --> 00:02:17.627
And that's what he'd said for years.
00:02:17.627 --> 00:02:20.196
Really going back even into the 90s,
00:02:20.196 --> 00:02:21.931
He was saying that shouldn't happen.
00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:23.666
And then now we're going through the reverse of this,
00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:27.170
Where people are angry that he hasn't overthrown
00:02:27.170 --> 00:02:29.872
The mullahs, he hasn't done regime change in iran.
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:32.008
And we should remind people president trump's
00:02:32.008 --> 00:02:34.143
Promise was iran will not get a nuclear weapon.
00:02:34.143 --> 00:02:37.513
You and i were discussing before the show.
00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:39.983
At the start of his term, president trump
00:02:39.983 --> 00:02:42.185
Was touring the middle east, and he was pointing out,
00:02:42.185 --> 00:02:45.021
We have learned from the past, we're not trying to remake.
00:02:45.021 --> 00:02:47.724
We should every government.
00:02:47.724 --> 00:02:48.891
We should play that clip.
00:02:48.891 --> 00:02:50.893
It it, here, i got to find it.
00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:52.962
You threw me off my my groove
00:02:52.962 --> 00:02:56.165
Because i wasn't ready to play that clip.
00:02:56.165 --> 00:02:57.567
But we do have that clip, and we should play it.
00:02:57.567 --> 00:02:59.702
This is.
00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:00.536
Yeah.
00:03:00.536 --> 00:03:01.437
From right at the beginning of trump 2.0.
00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:03.439
He tours the middle east and he issued a speech
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.143
That i think is an all timer.
00:03:07.143 --> 00:03:08.778
I think it's going to go down as an all timer,
00:03:08.778 --> 00:03:10.346
But it sets the stage for some of the things
00:03:10.346 --> 00:03:11.881
He's talking about right now.
00:03:11.881 --> 00:03:13.283
It's not 29.
00:03:13.283 --> 00:03:14.384
It's a new generation of leaders, is transcending
00:03:14.384 --> 00:03:16.819
The ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past,
00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:20.657
And forging a future where the middle east
00:03:20.657 --> 00:03:22.792
Is defined by commerce, not chaos,
00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:26.195
Where it exports technology, not terrorism,
00:03:26.195 --> 00:03:29.399
And where people of different nations, religions
00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:32.168
And creeds are building cities together,
00:03:32.168 --> 00:03:35.338
Not bombing each other out of existence.
00:03:35.338 --> 00:03:38.675
The birth of a modern middle east has been brought
00:03:38.675 --> 00:03:41.444
By the people of the region themselves.
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:44.347
And the end, the so-called nation builders
00:03:44.347 --> 00:03:47.150
Wrecked far more nations
00:03:47.150 --> 00:03:48.651
Than they built, and the interventionists
00:03:48.651 --> 00:03:51.821
Were intervened in complex societies
00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:55.725
That they did not even understand themselves.
00:03:55.725 --> 00:03:58.294
These prosperity and progress ultimately came not
00:03:58.294 --> 00:04:01.097
From a radical rejection of your heritage,
00:04:01.097 --> 00:04:04.534
But rather from embracing your national traditions.
00:04:04.534 --> 00:04:07.804
So that speech was important for many reasons,
00:04:07.804 --> 00:04:09.772
But it was the death knell of the neocons.
00:04:09.772 --> 00:04:11.808
Okay, that was trump saying we are not going to be
00:04:11.808 --> 00:04:15.211
A neocon foreign policy movement anymore.
00:04:15.211 --> 00:04:17.947
And that was a good thing.
00:04:17.947 --> 00:04:19.215
Okay, so now you might be wondering,
00:04:19.215 --> 00:04:20.650
Well, but yeah, but he attacked iran.
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.552
Well, to blake's point,
00:04:22.552 --> 00:04:23.886
He always said iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:26.556
Remember he took out soleimani and trump 1.0 okay.
00:04:26.556 --> 00:04:29.325
Who was basically the chief architect of terrorism.
00:04:29.325 --> 00:04:32.495
Now, i was skeptical about these strikes.
00:04:32.495 --> 00:04:35.765
As a matter of fact, i was not pro the strikes in iran.
00:04:35.765 --> 00:04:39.068
But much like charlie, i chose to say trump
00:04:39.068 --> 00:04:42.071
Has never gotten us embroiled in a,
00:04:42.071 --> 00:04:44.474
Quagmire forever war in the middle east.
00:04:44.474 --> 00:04:46.809
And i don't think that's his objective right now.
00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:48.711
He's trying to achieve the objective of no nukes,
00:04:48.711 --> 00:04:51.948
No weapons
00:04:51.948 --> 00:04:53.216
To destroy the middle east, destroy israel, destroy europe.
00:04:53.216 --> 00:04:56.719
And he's achieved that goal.
00:04:57.320 --> 00:04:58.821
Ostensibly, in theory, they're moving towards that goal.
00:04:58.821 --> 00:05:01.724
And here's the big difference.
00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:03.760
And president trump
00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:04.527
Kind of hinted at this, actually,
00:05:04.527 --> 00:05:05.962
I think he hit the nail on the head
00:05:05.962 --> 00:05:07.597
In one of his earlier interviews today at the g7.
00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:10.767
This is the big difference with this deal and the jcpoa.
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:15.638
It's not front loaded. there's no pallets of cash.
00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:17.573
There's no american money. that's true.
00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:19.575
But more fundamentally, the big difference
00:05:19.575 --> 00:05:22.011
Between this deal and the jcpoa is president trump himself
00:05:22.011 --> 00:05:27.517
Sat at 1.7
00:05:27.817 --> 00:05:30.153
Billion and hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:05:30.153 --> 00:05:33.790
They tried to bribe their way out of it.
00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:36.159
And you know what?
00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:36.859
The iranians did?
00:05:36.859 --> 00:05:38.828
They laughed at obama and they said, he's a stupid son of a
00:05:38.828 --> 00:05:42.899
Okay, thank you very much.
00:05:43.466 --> 00:05:44.834
You it was actually
00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:46.302
We're letting him go
00:05:46.302 --> 00:05:47.236
Here in this first segment because he was
00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:49.005
Making that point for us repeatedly.
00:05:49.005 --> 00:05:50.807
I thought it was very interesting.
00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:52.241
He was really going into the details about
00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:55.678
The strike that killed the previous supreme leader.
00:05:55.678 --> 00:05:58.981
And i feel like the implied the implication
00:05:58.981 --> 00:06:01.517
Throughout that is, by the way, we could 100% do this again
00:06:01.517 --> 00:06:05.054
To any of you if we have the ability
00:06:05.054 --> 00:06:06.989
To track the supreme leader of iran in that level of detail,
00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:10.626
You should adhere to this deal or i'm ready to bomb again.
00:06:10.626 --> 00:06:13.196
He said that too.
00:06:13.196 --> 00:06:13.996
If they don't
00:06:13.996 --> 00:06:15.231
Finish this up in two months, we'll bomb them to hell again,
00:06:15.231 --> 00:06:17.533
He said.
00:06:17.533 --> 00:06:18.434
Not 30.
00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:19.602
The text of the agreement now file or are you know, it's
00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:22.672
That final? it's a memorandum of understanding.
00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:25.041
And if i don't like it,
00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:26.742
We'll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs.
00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:30.480
And they had to respect the word.
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.315
If i don't like it, if they don't behave,
00:06:32.315 --> 00:06:35.251
We'll go right back
00:06:35.251 --> 00:06:36.486
To dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head,
00:06:36.486 --> 00:06:39.689
Okay?
00:06:39.922 --> 00:06:40.756
Because they misbehave for 47 years.
00:06:40.756 --> 00:06:43.493
That is the difference.
00:06:43.493 --> 00:06:44.627
Now, you do not have to even support the war.
00:06:44.627 --> 00:06:47.396
I was like i said, i was a skeptic.
00:06:47.396 --> 00:06:50.066
I didn't want us to go into iran.
00:06:50.066 --> 00:06:52.635
I made no, made i made that a secret.
00:06:52.635 --> 00:06:56.906
But you have to also
00:06:57.373 --> 00:06:59.141
Acknowledge objectively that this changes the calculus.
00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:01.978
In a deal with iran, iran played obama for a sucker. why?
00:07:01.978 --> 00:07:06.582
Because he
00:07:06.582 --> 00:07:07.750
They never believed that obama was willing to use force.
00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:10.853
They can't say that about president trump.
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:12.922
President trump has already used force.
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.690
President trump will use force again.
00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:17.293
He is not afraid to use force.
00:07:17.293 --> 00:07:18.561
Our military posture is not changing in the region.
00:07:18.561 --> 00:07:21.831
That changes all the calculus.
00:07:21.831 --> 00:07:24.367
That changes everything.
00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:25.835
And they know
00:07:25.835 --> 00:07:27.036
That our intelligence is so good
00:07:27.036 --> 00:07:28.971
That they can't move about freely.
00:07:28.971 --> 00:07:30.640
If they start misbehaving, they will fear for their lives.
00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:34.110
So the choice is theirs.
00:07:34.110 --> 00:07:35.511
Do they want to have a prosperous economic region
00:07:35.511 --> 00:07:38.180
And zone and future for iran and his people,
00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:41.017
Or do they want to get bombed again?
00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:42.785
They didn't have that same
00:07:43.352 --> 00:07:45.221
Choice when president obama was in office.
00:07:45.221 --> 00:07:48.291
Offering them pallets of cash changes everything.
00:07:48.291 --> 00:07:51.861
Donald trump is the reason this is not the jcpoa 2.0.
00:07:51.861 --> 00:07:56.532
Rob schneider joins us next.
00:07:56.532 --> 00:08:00.010
Rob schneider joins us next.
00:08:00.010 --> 00:08:05.783
Joining us now is actor comedian

And that is rob schneider.
00:08:10.621 --> 00:08:11.822
Rob, welcome to the charlie kirk show.
00:08:11.822 --> 00:08:13.223
Good to good to have you on the phone.
00:08:13.223 --> 00:08:16.427
Thank you. good to be here, man.
00:08:16.427 --> 00:08:18.362
Listen, how are you doing?
00:08:18.362 --> 00:08:19.563
I'm good. we're doing great.
00:08:19.563 --> 00:08:21.031
We're doing great.
00:08:21.031 --> 00:08:21.966
I and i just wanted to just have you on to
00:08:21.966 --> 00:08:25.102
Just commend you, sir, for the amazing support
00:08:25.102 --> 00:08:28.906
That you showed these pictures, these giant pictures,
00:08:28.906 --> 00:08:32.509
For standing up for their values
00:08:32.509 --> 00:08:35.079
And you said something really powerful.
00:08:35.079 --> 00:08:36.981
You said if they get fined, i'm going to help
00:08:36.981 --> 00:08:39.817
Pay for their fines. we'll figure it out.
00:08:39.817 --> 00:08:41.685
And we will help you as well. rob.
00:08:41.685 --> 00:08:43.320
We will get behind whatever efforts
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.356
That we need to get behind.
00:08:45.356 --> 00:08:46.991
I know you say you will personally pay for it,
00:08:46.991 --> 00:08:49.126
But i think there's a whole country
00:08:49.126 --> 00:08:50.894
Behind these pictures that want to
00:08:50.894 --> 00:08:52.329
That want to defend their christian values.
00:08:52.329 --> 00:08:54.665
What inspired that?
00:08:54.665 --> 00:08:55.666
Thank you.
00:08:55.666 --> 00:08:56.500
And i just want to say that, well,
00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:57.434
I just want to say these aren't like the
00:08:57.434 --> 00:08:59.103
These are these guys get the league minimum.
00:08:59.103 --> 00:09:01.171
So i mean it's a good amount of money,
00:09:01.171 --> 00:09:02.773
But it's still they're living in california.
00:09:02.773 --> 00:09:04.808
So you know that's that's
00:09:04.808 --> 00:09:06.810
They're still like living in apartments and stuff.
00:09:07.811 --> 00:09:09.913
These guys aren't rich ballplayers.
00:09:09.913 --> 00:09:11.849
You're not talking about oh that's right.
00:09:11.849 --> 00:09:13.550
But you know, what you have is you have
00:09:13.550 --> 00:09:16.620
First of all, can we make baseball straight again?
00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:19.423
I mean, we,
00:09:19.423 --> 00:09:21.659
We have enough gay sports.
00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:23.494
We've got, like, totally agree.
00:09:23.494 --> 00:09:24.695
You know, the the wnba, we got figure skating.
00:09:24.695 --> 00:09:28.866
You know, this game, dave stuff,
00:09:28.866 --> 00:09:31.468
What you have, you want already, gay people.
00:09:31.468 --> 00:09:33.804
Why do you have to shove it in her face?
00:09:33.804 --> 00:09:35.372
And why do you get a month? why? who agreed?
00:09:35.372 --> 00:09:37.675
Where was the.
00:09:37.675 --> 00:09:38.542
I don't remember voting for a month,
00:09:38.542 --> 00:09:40.511
You know, just have a parade.
00:09:40.511 --> 00:09:42.146
All i'm saying,
00:09:42.146 --> 00:09:43.147
Just give us a just give us some heads up
00:09:43.147 --> 00:09:44.682
So we can make plans, you know, so we don't have to.
00:09:44.682 --> 00:09:46.784
You know, it's because it's a lot hanging out everywhere.
00:09:46.784 --> 00:09:49.620
So it's just enough.
00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:50.754
And you're forcing us to do things against our will
00:09:50.754 --> 00:09:53.891
And and forcing people.
00:09:53.891 --> 00:09:55.459
It's, you know, to to wear a pride hat.
00:09:55.459 --> 00:09:58.395
And if they don't, they're, somehow a bigot.
00:09:58.395 --> 00:10:01.498
So it's it's, it's in your face.
00:10:01.498 --> 00:10:04.001
And the idea that somehow gay people are oppressed.
00:10:04.001 --> 00:10:07.071
So you want you got gay marriage,
00:10:07.071 --> 00:10:09.373
You get the same, you know, rights.
00:10:09.373 --> 00:10:12.009
As far as benefits, that that was excluded. you.
00:10:12.009 --> 00:10:16.280
I mean, so, at what point do you say enough and, you know,
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:19.583
At what point do we say, okay, it's a month.
00:10:19.583 --> 00:10:22.286
And then also,
00:10:22.286 --> 00:10:23.587
We want to have drag queens in your kindergarten,
00:10:23.587 --> 00:10:26.457
It's like, enough with this.
00:10:26.457 --> 00:10:27.391
It's, it is a, it is sick.
00:10:27.391 --> 00:10:30.561
It is, twisted.
00:10:30.561 --> 00:10:32.329
And it is enough.
00:10:32.329 --> 00:10:33.597
I mean, is it gay rights has been perverted.
00:10:33.597 --> 00:10:36.100
Even gays will tell you
00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.634
That the trans community has totally taken over.
00:10:37.634 --> 00:10:41.105
And, i mean, i knew something was up at the gay
00:10:41.105 --> 00:10:43.907
Parade in new york when there was at once
00:10:43.907 --> 00:10:47.111
One white, gay, homosexual
00:10:47.111 --> 00:10:49.913
That was a part of the grand marshal parade.
00:10:49.913 --> 00:10:52.416
It was all this crazy, you know, trans stuff.
00:10:52.416 --> 00:10:55.152
And it was,
00:10:55.152 --> 00:10:56.587
These these ballplayers are sweet,
00:10:57.354 --> 00:10:59.423
Nice guys who love the lord, and and it's a beautiful thing.
00:10:59.423 --> 00:11:03.627
And so, of course, they're going to get attacked.
00:11:03.627 --> 00:11:05.195
Attacked.
00:11:05.195 --> 00:11:06.296
And the idea that that it's, you know, standing up
00:11:06.296 --> 00:11:08.999
And saying a bible verse is automatically bigoted
00:11:08.999 --> 00:11:11.902
Is is just to show you how crazy and how, leftist
00:11:11.902 --> 00:11:16.340
And how what a lunatic, wing that you have there
00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:20.043
In the democratic party.
00:11:20.043 --> 00:11:21.378
Well, and the way they went about it, i think it was very
00:11:21.378 --> 00:11:24.014
It was very well done because all they did was attach
00:11:24.014 --> 00:11:28.252
A bible verse that is related to rainbows.
00:11:28.252 --> 00:11:32.122
And they made it.
00:11:32.122 --> 00:11:32.923
They made it very clear.
00:11:32.923 --> 00:11:34.358
They kind of forced mlb and their other critics to
00:11:34.358 --> 00:11:39.263
Unmask the agenda that they come forward and say,
00:11:39.263 --> 00:11:42.299
Yes, we are specifically requiring you
00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:44.735
To affirm this version of what pride is.
00:11:44.735 --> 00:11:49.006
You're not allowed to.
00:11:49.006 --> 00:11:50.808
You don't even have to.
00:11:50.808 --> 00:11:52.242
You don't.
00:11:52.242 --> 00:11:53.143
You're not condemning gays in any way.
00:11:53.143 --> 00:11:54.711
You're not condemning anyone.
00:11:54.711 --> 00:11:56.313
All you're doing is is tweaking this in a little way,
00:11:56.313 --> 00:11:58.949
In the direction of your faith.
00:11:58.949 --> 00:12:00.584
And they're swooping in and saying,
00:12:00.584 --> 00:12:01.852
We're on to what you're doing
00:12:01.852 --> 00:12:03.220
And you're not allowed to do it.
00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:04.488
I think they
00:12:04.488 --> 00:12:05.689
I think they went about it in a very there was wise way.
00:12:05.689 --> 00:12:08.058
No, it was classy.
00:12:08.058 --> 00:12:08.992
And and yet blake's talking about they,
00:12:08.992 --> 00:12:10.627
They put genesis 912 through 16, which is in no way covenant
00:12:10.627 --> 00:12:13.964
Where god says, you know, when you see a rainbow in the sky,
00:12:13.964 --> 00:12:17.434
We're promising that,
00:12:17.935 --> 00:12:19.036
God's promising not to flood the earth again,
00:12:19.036 --> 00:12:21.104
Like he did in the time of noah.
00:12:21.104 --> 00:12:22.472
So it was a it was a very classy thing to do.
00:12:22.472 --> 00:12:25.309
And my point, rob, and i think you were basically making
00:12:25.309 --> 00:12:28.445
This point is that
00:12:28.445 --> 00:12:29.847
Mlb is being the bigoted ones against christians.
00:12:29.847 --> 00:12:32.816
And we're sick of this anti-christian bias.
00:12:32.816 --> 00:12:35.085
And to your point,
00:12:35.085 --> 00:12:36.153
It doesn't just it's not enough to tolerate now.
00:12:36.153 --> 00:12:39.890
They make you accept it, they make you celebrate it,
00:12:39.890 --> 00:12:42.826
And then they make you participate in it.
00:12:42.826 --> 00:12:44.428
You have to your kids have to participate in it.
00:12:44.428 --> 00:12:46.730
It becomes the new civic religion of like,
00:12:46.730 --> 00:12:49.132
Everybody has to be proud of gay people,
00:12:49.132 --> 00:12:51.735
And it just becomes so all consuming in your face.
00:12:51.735 --> 00:12:55.305
As you said, they get a whole month
00:12:55.305 --> 00:12:56.840
And then they
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.608
A couple of christians come out
00:12:57.608 --> 00:12:58.775
And put a bible verse on their hat and
00:12:58.775 --> 00:13:00.210
Oh, that's a line too far
00:13:00.210 --> 00:13:02.346
We can show imbalanced.
00:13:02.846 --> 00:13:05.782
It's the hypocrisy of it because you know, these, you
00:13:05.782 --> 00:13:08.752
Know, ball players, baseball players as well, took a knee.
00:13:08.752 --> 00:13:13.423
And then you could look that up.
00:13:13.423 --> 00:13:16.226
They actually did do that
00:13:16.226 --> 00:13:17.361
Not just for football players, but baseball players too.
00:13:17.361 --> 00:13:19.363
And none of them
00:13:19.363 --> 00:13:20.364
Were reprimanded
00:13:20.364 --> 00:13:21.899
For taking a knee during the national anthem.
00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:24.201
So you have, just a kowtowing
00:13:24.201 --> 00:13:27.938
To this particular extreme leftist ideology and everyone.
00:13:27.938 --> 00:13:32.276
And if you don't, comply and you don't,
00:13:32.276 --> 00:13:35.812
Go along with it, you don't.
00:13:35.812 --> 00:13:37.214
They also,
00:13:37.214 --> 00:13:38.448
They want you to participate in it if you don't participate.
00:13:38.448 --> 00:13:40.617
So it's one thing to you have your right.
00:13:40.617 --> 00:13:42.986
And now, you just instead of leaving people alone,
00:13:42.986 --> 00:13:46.590
Now you're forcing people to participate.
00:13:46.590 --> 00:13:49.159
You're forcing them to be in this, to take part.
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:52.930
And then that's
00:13:52.930 --> 00:13:53.997
Where it steps over into a civil rights, issue.
00:13:53.997 --> 00:13:57.467
And, you know, it's i'm tired of this christianity
00:13:57.467 --> 00:14:01.271
Being a doormat religion for everybody else's
00:14:01.271 --> 00:14:04.007
And stepping on it and people not stepping up.
00:14:04.007 --> 00:14:06.543
And i'm also tired of evangelical not voting.
00:14:06.543 --> 00:14:09.713
They have to step up.
00:14:09.713 --> 00:14:10.614
I mean, yeah,
00:14:10.614 --> 00:14:11.515
How do you get a real hateful, ugly, ugly
00:14:11.515 --> 00:14:14.151
Human being like ilhan omar in congress?
00:14:14.151 --> 00:14:17.120
Well, because the mosques tell, 85,
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:21.191
You know, tell they tell their, their, constituents to vote
00:14:21.191 --> 00:14:24.628
And 93% of them will vote on a blog.
00:14:24.628 --> 00:14:27.331
We have to have our pastors step up.
00:14:27.331 --> 00:14:29.599
They have to have our pastors get involved.
00:14:29.599 --> 00:14:30.968
Because, you know, the idea of of that somehow
00:14:30.968 --> 00:14:34.604
This isn't
00:14:34.604 --> 00:14:35.372
Going to continue and this isn't
00:14:35.372 --> 00:14:37.007
Going to continue to erode our, our rights,
00:14:37.007 --> 00:14:39.977
Is an illusion, as you're seeing now.
00:14:39.977 --> 00:14:42.713
And you know, the supreme court
00:14:42.713 --> 00:14:43.981
Already made a decision about, you know,
00:14:43.981 --> 00:14:45.382
You can't force people
00:14:45.382 --> 00:14:46.750
To do something outside their deeply held
00:14:46.750 --> 00:14:48.652
Religious beliefs with the colorado, bakers
00:14:48.652 --> 00:14:52.222
Who refused to make a wedding, cake for a gay couple
00:14:52.222 --> 00:14:55.525
Because they just refused to do it.
00:14:55.525 --> 00:14:56.960
If they're right
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.128
And, you know, find it instead of finding another baker,
00:14:58.128 --> 00:15:00.697
They have to force their agenda on somebody else.
00:15:00.697 --> 00:15:04.101
Rob schneider, good man.
00:15:04.101 --> 00:15:06.470
And a very funny man. and, you're doing that.
00:15:06.470 --> 00:15:08.872
You're doing a good thing, rob.
00:15:08.872 --> 00:15:10.007
We just wanted to support you in that. god bless you.
00:15:10.007 --> 00:15:15.007
We just wanted to support you in that. god bless you.
00:15:15.007 --> 00:15:20.281
Senator josh hawley is writing letters
00:15:21.049 --> 00:15:23.685
Demanding answers from the mlb for
00:15:23.685 --> 00:15:26.421
Penalizing christian players for showing their faith.
00:15:26.421 --> 00:15:29.391
You've got, obviously, what rob did,
00:15:29.391 --> 00:15:31.192
You know, saying he's
00:15:31.192 --> 00:15:32.427
Going to get behind them, pay their fines.
00:15:32.427 --> 00:15:34.596
Now, you got the attorney general of the state of florida
00:15:34.596 --> 00:15:37.232
Launching an investigation into
00:15:37.232 --> 00:15:38.666
Anti-christian bias by the mlb.
00:15:38.666 --> 00:15:40.802
And i should note, by the way, that it's not like mlb is.
00:15:40.802 --> 00:15:44.672
Mlb is any random business.
00:15:44.672 --> 00:15:46.808
It is worth remembering
00:15:46.808 --> 00:15:48.510
Mlb gets special carve outs from congress.
00:15:48.510 --> 00:15:51.880
Antitrust law doesn't apply to major league baseball,
00:15:51.880 --> 00:15:55.884
And i believe other
00:15:55.884 --> 00:15:57.052
Of our professional sports leagues for very with
00:15:57.052 --> 00:16:00.355
They're given a special carve out from congress and congress
00:16:00.355 --> 00:16:03.892
Absolutely has the right to say if we don't think you're
00:16:03.892 --> 00:16:07.996
Adhering to the good
00:16:07.996 --> 00:16:09.364
Of the american people, if you're pushing this
00:16:09.364 --> 00:16:11.699
Very politicized agenda on your players, on your fans,
00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:15.370
We should be able to raise an eyebrow and ask,
00:16:15.370 --> 00:16:18.273
Why are you getting all these special protections?
00:16:18.273 --> 00:16:20.975
I totally agree, and they get endless taxpayer money
00:16:20.975 --> 00:16:23.945
At the local and state level to build these stadiums
00:16:23.945 --> 00:16:26.714
That i will i will tell all of you are absolutely
00:16:26.714 --> 00:16:29.684
Do not work out along the bottom line.
00:16:29.684 --> 00:16:31.152
That is totally a subsidy
00:16:31.152 --> 00:16:32.821
To people who are already very wealthy.
00:16:32.821 --> 00:16:35.056
But they're beautiful.
00:16:35.056 --> 00:16:36.091
They're cathedrals to the americas.
00:16:36.091 --> 00:16:37.559
Okay. all right, all right, all right, dodgers fans.
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.994
All right.
00:16:39.994 --> 00:16:40.929
This is the reason, that i get so upset
00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:43.798
And so passionate about this issues
00:16:43.798 --> 00:16:45.033
Because i am a diehard baseball fan, i love baseball.
00:16:45.033 --> 00:16:48.336
It is in my bones.
00:16:48.336 --> 00:16:49.571
I played it from the time i was three years old,
00:16:49.571 --> 00:16:51.906
Played in high school.
00:16:51.906 --> 00:16:53.374
You know, i played it growing up.
00:16:53.374 --> 00:16:55.910
It's such a formative part of my childhood
00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:58.246
That i hate watching the mlb do this kind of crap.
00:16:58.246 --> 00:17:01.449
So they're trying to walk it back.
00:17:01.449 --> 00:17:03.151
I think they've been properly scolded, by the way.
00:17:03.151 --> 00:17:05.186
They're trying to say, hey, we didn't find them.
00:17:05.186 --> 00:17:07.255
We're just warning them.
00:17:07.255 --> 00:17:08.223
It's a standard operating procedure.
00:17:08.223 --> 00:17:10.191
Good. back off.
00:17:10.191 --> 00:17:12.060
You've been properly warned.
00:17:12.060 --> 00:17:14.129
All right.
00:17:14.129 --> 00:17:14.696
Hey, i want to finish
00:17:14.696 --> 00:17:15.697
Some of what we were saying about this jcpoa.
00:17:15.697 --> 00:17:17.999
The jcpoa, of course, being obama's deal.
00:17:18.833 --> 00:17:21.569
And the president, to his credit, has been ripping it.
00:17:21.569 --> 00:17:24.739
And he got out of it in 2018 because it was a roadmap to
00:17:24.739 --> 00:17:28.476
Getting a bomb.
00:17:28.476 --> 00:17:29.444
You know, what they would do during the jcpoa,
00:17:29.444 --> 00:17:31.646
They would announce that they're going
00:17:31.646 --> 00:17:33.148
To come inspect some site,
00:17:33.148 --> 00:17:34.516
And they would give him a month warning,
00:17:34.516 --> 00:17:36.684
And then they would come inspect the site.
00:17:36.684 --> 00:17:39.120
And guess what?
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:40.121
Everything had been moved very conveniently.
00:17:40.121 --> 00:17:42.290
All right.
00:17:42.290 --> 00:17:42.857
It was a terrible deal.
00:17:42.857 --> 00:17:43.925
It had no teeth.
00:17:43.925 --> 00:17:45.393
And this is the point
00:17:45.393 --> 00:17:46.995
Where president trump deserves a lot of credit here,
00:17:46.995 --> 00:17:49.831
Because i'll just go through some of the names
00:17:49.831 --> 00:17:51.766
That are ripping him to shreds right now for even attempting
00:17:51.766 --> 00:17:55.737
This deal. okay.
00:17:55.737 --> 00:17:57.338
Senator lindsey graham calling it a nightmare
00:17:57.338 --> 00:18:00.642
For israel.
00:18:00.642 --> 00:18:01.776
Senator ted cruz, who i like it, said he's deeply
00:18:01.776 --> 00:18:05.180
Concerned about, reports the deal,
00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:06.848
Especially any involvement
00:18:06.848 --> 00:18:08.383
Of figures like rob malley, seen as a dove.
00:18:08.383 --> 00:18:12.187
Senator roger wicker, who's,
00:18:12.187 --> 00:18:14.722
The senate armed services chair.
00:18:14.722 --> 00:18:17.425
He's a republican from mississippi.
00:18:17.425 --> 00:18:18.893
He labeled a rumored 660 day cease fire a disaster.
00:18:18.893 --> 00:18:23.631
Okay, mike pompeo, former trump secretary of state,
00:18:23.631 --> 00:18:27.735
He compared the floated deal to obama era approach.
00:18:27.735 --> 00:18:30.905
Okay.
00:18:30.905 --> 00:18:31.539
And which is what we're addressing now, john bolton,
00:18:32.574 --> 00:18:34.609
Mr. walrus, who just did a plea deal with the doj,
00:18:34.609 --> 00:18:38.746
Called it a big defeat for the us.
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.583
Mark levin strongly criticized the lack of transparency.
00:18:41.583 --> 00:18:44.986
To be fair, mark is just asking to see the mou.
00:18:44.986 --> 00:18:47.355
The president has said that he's going to read it himself.
00:18:47.355 --> 00:18:50.124
Okay, all of these people.
00:18:50.692 --> 00:18:52.393
And then you combine that with the slew of lefties
00:18:52.393 --> 00:18:55.263
That are calling this a big defeat
00:18:55.263 --> 00:18:56.698
For the us, that we lost a war.
00:18:56.698 --> 00:18:58.166
Some are gloating over it.
00:18:58.166 --> 00:18:59.100
Some people clearly just want iran to win.
00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:01.336
And so they're going to say this
00:19:01.336 --> 00:19:02.370
Because i guess they just hate america.
00:19:02.370 --> 00:19:03.905
I don't know that they want
00:19:03.905 --> 00:19:04.806
Iran to win as much as they do trump.
00:19:04.806 --> 00:19:06.207
A lot of them want around to win.
00:19:06.207 --> 00:19:07.609
I think you're right. so but here's here's the point.
00:19:07.609 --> 00:19:10.178
President trump deserves a ton of credit here
00:19:10.178 --> 00:19:11.946
Because he's resisting the swansong of the neocons.
00:19:11.946 --> 00:19:15.950
They want the old model, which is regime change.
00:19:15.950 --> 00:19:19.721
He i could make the argument
00:19:19.721 --> 00:19:21.856
That the best thing that ever happened
00:19:21.856 --> 00:19:23.992
In this whole conflict is that you decapitated 40
00:19:23.992 --> 00:19:26.995
Or 50 of the top leaders without a full regime change.
00:19:26.995 --> 00:19:30.131
If there was regime change,
00:19:30.732 --> 00:19:32.400
Who knows what would have happened?
00:19:33.201 --> 00:19:35.103
Would the entire
00:19:35.103 --> 00:19:36.304
Iranian country be forced into a massive civil war?
00:19:36.304 --> 00:19:39.941
Right now?
00:19:39.941 --> 00:19:40.975
This is something that charlie would talk about,
00:19:40.975 --> 00:19:42.810
That he would say, when you get regime change.
00:19:42.810 --> 00:19:44.946
We saw this in iraq that we threw out the government.
00:19:44.946 --> 00:19:49.050
And most of the
00:19:49.050 --> 00:19:50.051
People who died in iraq were not killed by u.s.
00:19:50.051 --> 00:19:53.221
Forces fighting insurgents or insurgents attacking u.s.
00:19:53.221 --> 00:19:57.091
Forces.
00:19:57.091 --> 00:19:57.725
Most of the death in iraq
00:19:57.725 --> 00:19:58.860
After we invaded, it was iraqis of one group
00:19:58.860 --> 00:20:01.562
Killing iraqis in another group. correct.
00:20:01.562 --> 00:20:03.731
Attacking christians, attacked sunnis, attacking shias.
00:20:03.731 --> 00:20:07.001
And you can easily imagine that happening.
00:20:07.001 --> 00:20:09.404
Iran is a multi-ethnic country.
00:20:09.404 --> 00:20:11.239
It's a country with secularists and islamists,
00:20:11.239 --> 00:20:14.275
And some people just stuck in the middle.
00:20:14.275 --> 00:20:16.644
That country,
00:20:16.644 --> 00:20:18.079
Full of mountains, full of tribes,
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.847
Can absolutely go to hell in a handbasket.
00:20:19.847 --> 00:20:21.883
And charlie warned about that.
00:20:21.883 --> 00:20:23.051
Well, and so this is what i'm saying, is that it was,
00:20:23.051 --> 00:20:26.554
You know,
00:20:26.854 --> 00:20:28.089
A very possible outcome here that after the initial strikes,
00:20:28.089 --> 00:20:31.025
After the initial bombing, that the regime could fall,
00:20:31.025 --> 00:20:33.961
But it didn't.
00:20:34.295 --> 00:20:34.962
It held on. you got to give.
00:20:34.962 --> 00:20:36.864
They're not good people.
00:20:36.864 --> 00:20:37.765
I'm not i'm not pro the regime here.
00:20:37.765 --> 00:20:39.967
I'm just saying you got to give them
00:20:39.967 --> 00:20:41.169
Some credit for holding on, okay. yeah.
00:20:41.169 --> 00:20:43.171
They did it in a brutal way
00:20:43.171 --> 00:20:44.272
That killed 40,000 innocent protesters in january.
00:20:44.272 --> 00:20:47.875
Well, guess what?
00:20:47.875 --> 00:20:49.143
The protesters were probably scared
00:20:49.143 --> 00:20:50.478
To take to the streets again.
00:20:50.478 --> 00:20:52.013
But this gives you the chance to say, hey, we use force.
00:20:52.013 --> 00:20:55.683
We mean business.
00:20:55.683 --> 00:20:56.851
Don't mess with us again, as president trump
00:20:56.851 --> 00:20:58.820
Dropped some bombs on you,
00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:00.154
But at least the country is not thrown into mass chaos.
00:21:00.154 --> 00:21:03.391
We i'll never forget when we had those iranians, come out.
00:21:03.391 --> 00:21:08.162
They were part of the diaspora in the lead up to this.
00:21:08.162 --> 00:21:10.798
And they were saying
00:21:10.798 --> 00:21:11.899
80% of the population would support regime change.
00:21:11.899 --> 00:21:14.469
I'm not sure i at all believe that, first of all.
00:21:14.469 --> 00:21:17.238
But you, even if it's 20 or 30% that are regime loyalists,
00:21:17.238 --> 00:21:21.609
Do you think those people are just going to go away?
00:21:21.609 --> 00:21:23.444
Do you think that they were if the regime fell,
00:21:23.444 --> 00:21:25.780
That they were just going to go away?
00:21:25.780 --> 00:21:26.748
Or do you think they were going to form
00:21:26.748 --> 00:21:27.849
Factions of militarized units
00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:29.817
To then attack whatever was put in its place?
00:21:29.817 --> 00:21:32.320
So i'm not saying i know what the right outcome is.
00:21:32.320 --> 00:21:34.989
I'm not saying that, that the regime not following is good.
00:21:34.989 --> 00:21:38.359
I'm just saying you could make the argument. okay.
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:40.828
So maybe this gives an opportunity for the hardliners
00:21:40.828 --> 00:21:43.998
And the moderates to take,
00:21:43.998 --> 00:21:45.800
Their places within this new command structure that is, is
00:21:45.800 --> 00:21:50.371
Sort of existing and surviving through this, this conflict.
00:21:50.371 --> 00:21:54.275
And maybe there is a real chance of having a better,
00:21:54.275 --> 00:21:56.911
More positive outcome in the in the end.
00:21:56.911 --> 00:21:59.480
But here's the deal.
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.249
President trump has rejected the neocon model,
00:22:01.249 --> 00:22:04.986
Which was boots on the ground,
00:22:04.986 --> 00:22:06.721
Which was never going to happen here.
00:22:06.721 --> 00:22:08.189
So i don't know what they want. that's the question.
00:22:08.189 --> 00:22:10.391
What do they want?
00:22:10.391 --> 00:22:11.459
Do you want american boots on the ground?
00:22:11.459 --> 00:22:13.594
That is what i'll lay it out. that's what they want.
00:22:13.594 --> 00:22:16.063
What i think
00:22:16.063 --> 00:22:17.432
Frankly, what happened with a lot of these people?
00:22:17.432 --> 00:22:19.233
I think this is what lindsey graham wanted.
00:22:19.233 --> 00:22:20.735
It's what mark levin wanted.
00:22:20.735 --> 00:22:22.370
They believed that they could sell president trump on.
00:22:22.370 --> 00:22:25.273
This will be easy.
00:22:25.273 --> 00:22:26.340
You can take out the regime with a strike.
00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:27.708
And maybe they thought that could actually happen,
00:22:27.708 --> 00:22:29.644
But they thought if it didn't happen,
00:22:29.644 --> 00:22:31.879
He'll be he's part committed.
00:22:31.879 --> 00:22:33.548
He'll have they can go, well you're already in.
00:22:33.548 --> 00:22:36.350
You might as well put boots on the ground.
00:22:36.350 --> 00:22:38.286
And you saw that.
00:22:38.286 --> 00:22:39.020
You saw the people saying,
00:22:39.020 --> 00:22:40.054
Oh, just a few thousand troops on kharg island,
00:22:40.054 --> 00:22:42.123
And the whole thing will fall from there.
00:22:42.123 --> 00:22:44.091
And if that had happened and it fell, they'd say, well,
00:22:44.091 --> 00:22:45.893
We already have boots on the ground.
00:22:45.893 --> 00:22:47.361
May as well go all the way to tehran.
00:22:47.361 --> 00:22:49.363
I think people thought that would happen.
00:22:49.363 --> 00:22:50.932
And president trump deserves credit for
00:22:50.932 --> 00:22:54.068
Not going along with it.
00:22:54.602 --> 00:22:55.770
I think, j.d.
00:22:55.770 --> 00:22:57.271
Vance deserves a ton of credit as well.
00:22:57.271 --> 00:22:59.140
He's been out front in the last couple of days
00:22:59.140 --> 00:23:01.409
Selling this peace deal to the american people,
00:23:01.409 --> 00:23:04.011
And i completely support it.
00:23:04.011 --> 00:23:05.546
I want peace, we want peace.
00:23:05.546 --> 00:23:07.815
It is not our job to regime change all over the world
00:23:07.815 --> 00:23:12.220
Just because we don't like somebody.
00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:13.821
Okay, this is a great deal for the american people.
00:23:13.821 --> 00:23:16.824
No nuclear.
00:23:16.824 --> 00:23:17.825
That was the goal, the accomplish, the goal.
00:23:17.825 --> 00:23:20.161
Let's get out.
00:23:20.161 --> 00:23:21.095
