The situation in Israel is serious, with red alert sirens filling the air and a real threat of attack. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is providing aid to Israel's most vulnerable, including food, first aid, and emergency essentials. Meanwhile, President Trump's actions against Iran have been successful, with the country's supreme leader being removed and the region joining the fight against Iran. The president's commitment to national security and border control has been praised, but critics argue that his policies are too extreme and will lead to more harm than good.

Hey, everybody, thanks so much for joining us right here on The Right View. Tonight's episode is brought to you by our good friends Goldco, the number one rated precious metals company. Go to LaraLikesGold.com to learn more.

Now, before we get started tonight, let's check out some videos together. What do you say? Here we go. Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters loved him at this particular point. Just take a look here.

Okay, own party supporters, 21st century presidents, own party approval about at this point in the second term. Bush was at 77 percent. Obama was at 77 percent. Look at this: 86 percent of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. That is higher than either Obama or Bush had within their own party at this point.

Trump's magic touch has not seen the war off yet when it comes to the Republican base. Hehehe That's on CNN, folks.

Okay, we love to see this. That's right. You know why? Because we've never had a president like this before. Yeah, you had Bush, you know, dealing with post-9-11 where he was very popular and the country felt like it was coming together.

And he was still at 77%. Obama, you know, the first black president who galvanized a lot of support. A lot of people were hyped up about him. 77%. Donald Trump.

86. You know what? It is, I have said this from the beginning of his second term in office. But I really believe that by the end, Of his tenure as president, Donald Trump will go down with the highest approval rating of any modern president. And that's across the board.

Obviously, within the Republican Party, he's blowing the doors off of anything we've ever seen before. But I mean that as a whole. And I think it. People are already starting to come around to this president, who maybe didn't even vote for him. Third time around.

And it's because you understand that this is a guy who just wants to do what's right. He doesn't care about the implications for the party as a whole. And maybe some people will be upset by that. He doesn't care. He told all of us in the family before he ever ran for president the first time that if he only got one term in office, but he was able to do the right things, that would be fine with him.

He's always wanted to go in, make change, do the right things, set this country on a good path. And it's happening right now.

So you love to see it. And man, I know CNN must hate to put that on air. We'll take more of it. Thank you very much. Do you have a Zoolander problem?

No, I do. Jesus. Yeah, Zoolander. Are you just ridiculously good looking as folks? No, seriously, what do you do about that?

You don't do anything about it, because if you're going to do something about it, then you're you're bullf people. You know what? I am who I am. It's fine. You don't have to like me.

Or maybe you like a slick person. I don't know. Whatever. It's okay. Yeah.

Is he calling himself a slick person? What's happening in these chairs? What kind of chair did they give Gavin Newsom to sit in? He looks like he's going to slide right out of that chair.

Okay. Listen. This is what the Democrats are going to offer in 2028. It's going to be Gavin. He's been posturing for this role forever.

He just let California burn right to the ground. Figuratively and literally, in some senses, as well. Doesn't care. Ruined that state, destroyed that. Let's move on to the next.

Let's go to the whole country. Let's take this sucker nationwide. You're going to have Gavin Newsome. I'm going to guess you're probably going to have AOC running. And you're probably, I don't know, maybe going to have like an Andy Bashir running as sort of some middle ground.

Although, I don't think he's got a chance, a Snowball's chance. Josh Shapiro, maybe Kamala should have picked him as her running mate in 2024, but she couldn't be seen as, you know, doing anything positive with Jewish people. God forbid. We had to be pro-Palestine, remember all that? Pro-Hamas, all the crazy.

Yeah. That's going to be the guy for the Democrats.

So good luck to everybody. That is the best you have. I don't really have anything positive to say about Gavin Newsome. I think he's a chameleon. I think he changes and blows around with the wind.

Wherever he needs to be at any moment to appease people, he'll be over there doing it. He's the actual opposite of Donald Trump, Donald Trump, who doesn't care. How anybody reacts or what it's going to mean to his popularity, he's going to do the right thing. Gavin Newsome, total opposite. He's going fully for whatever he thinks is popular in the moment.

Couldn't be two more different people. Let's just ensure that guy never becomes president, shall we?

Okay. We're trying to bring back illegal immigrants who were deported by ICE. We're with to bring them back, Campaign. Could we get your signature for our petition? I just need your name and email address.

Specifically, we're trying to bring back Edwin Hernandez from El Salvador. We do have to disclose to you though that he is an admitted member of MS13. And he did kill five people back in El Salvador, but We think he deserves a second chance, and we want to get him back. That's him right there. What do you guys think about what's going on with ice in this country?

Oh, it's um. Appalling, I guess, is maybe not even a strong enough word.

So, yeah, we're from Maine. There's been a lot of ice activity in Maine. Up in Portland, right? Yep, up in Portland. Yep, that's where we live.

Yeah, so. Um I'm a teacher and um There were lots of students that were afraid to come to school. Thank you so much. Hopefully, we can get Edwin Hernandez back. Yeah.

So he doesn't have to be criminally convicted in El Salvador, right? Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you. Good work, she says on her way out, as she just signed a petition.

Obviously, it's fake. She just signed a petition to bring a murderer who was also here illegally Back to the United States. You understand where we are? This is how deranged these people have become. It's illegal to come into our country.

without going through the proper channels, right? You can't just walk over the board, you can't sneak in, that's against the law, number one. Number two, if you have committed crimes, if you're a violent criminal here in America, we also don't want you back, except this lady does. Her kids in school were scared to come to school. Are you here legally?

or not. Any person who is trying to posture as though Legal immigrants are at any risk whatsoever is absolutely deluded and crazy. And I think they know it. They don't really care. The fear-mongering that has gone on in that space, I think, is absurd.

Yes, this country, the United States of America, was built upon immigrants. We are a country of immigrants, but we're a country that requires you to go through the proper channels and to do it the legal way. And if you do that, then you got nothing to worry about. It's so crazy to me to hear that people have now stooped to this level to sign a fake petition. I can't believe she didn't know that was fake, but I guess she didn't.

to bring a murderer. Five times over back to the United States, ma'am, you need to do some serious soul searching because that's crazy. Here we go. You've said things like black women are biologically different than white women. They they they yes, they have uh different fertility windows.

They have a higher rate of fertility complications, 50% of the city. But there's no scientific evidence to prove that A black woman and a white woman are genetically different, right? This is like literally, there are genes that code for their skin color. There are genes that again, this is, I mean, this is like government data. This is me, right?

This is the National Institute of Health. This is the American Medical Association. Like, there is no scientific evidence to prove that. And that's a great problem, right? No, no, no, no, no.

There's no scientific IQ differences. Black people are genetically different from other populations. I'll say that again. There is at least there is no scientific evidence to prove that right and as people. No, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, I'm stating. Do you want to ask, hey, I get through scientific evidence to prove that? No, I want to ask you. This is basically just factually incorrect. Humans are genetically diverse.

It's not a bad thing that humans are diverse. No, no, I'm not saying it's a bad or a good thing. I'm saying there is no scientific evidence. And I'm saying that is a factual evidence. And he's saying that there is scientific evidence.

There is scientific evidence. There is over the sky. Based on the basics. No, no, no. This is like saying the sky is not blue.

Like, it is genes that code their skin coding, right? Those genes are. Wow.

Okay. First of all, the guy in the glasses is just like He's losing his mind over how dumb this lady is because she's so desperate to make a point that everyone is the same. There's nothing scientific, right? That says we're different. And this guy's like, Yeah, there is.

It's literally what colors your skin. Guess what? There are no two people that are exactly alike on the entire planet. And why is that? Because we're all genetically made up differently.

And it's amazing that she's like trying to fight him on it. This guy's head's about to explode because he's like, no. I told you like five times already, there are jeans that code for skin color. And and she just keeps going back in. That's the problem though.

We're not dealing with people who actually care. Remember when they said believe the science? That was all a lie. That was all just a talking, just a talker, just something to throw out there and like jazz hands us. Like, oh, look over here.

Believe the science. They never wanted to believe the science. They still don't want to believe the science. They don't want to believe anything to do with anything except their woke crazy points. Oh God, it's so exhausting because you could go down in, you could go around a circle with somebody like that basically forever.

Because I don't think she was ever going to get it. And this guy was never going to let up. He was just like, no, no, what are you not understanding about this? It's a shame that that people like that interviewer Have a platform. and don't know better.

But you know what? We all Have the opportunity to say when we're wrong. We all have the opportunity to change our mind.

So maybe she can take this moment. And take that embarrassment. Of Just absolutely being destroyed by this guy because she's literally saying the exact opposite thing of what he is. And he's like, no, science actually backs up on what I'm saying. Maybe she can take this as a learning moment.

And I think that maybe we'd all be better off if instead of just trying to be obsessed. With whatever the woke point of the day is, you just take a step back, look at reality. take it with a grain of common sense and say, you know what? Maybe I was wrong here. I don't know that that'll ever happen for that lady, but we would be a far better place if other people did.

No. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next, and people of faith pray for freedom and to be protected. In Israel, red alert sirens fill the air, sirens that give you 15 seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious, the threat is real. In times like these, Freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas.

They are what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large-scale distributions of life-saving food, first aid, and emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms, and shelters are all stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, children, and those families in great need. But the fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work.

Now it's your time to stand up with Israel's most vulnerable. To rush your gift, call 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ or go online to ifcj.org. That's if you're a fan of the future. And now we're joined by former RC National Spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko, as well as host of the new podcast on Salem, the Danielle Gill Show.

Danielle Gill. Elizabeth and Danielle, thank you so much for joining us as always. Ladies, obviously, Iran is sort of top of mind for everybody. What's going on over there, the way that it's been executed by the United States, by this president, by our Secretary of War. And also, Liz, I'm going to say.

The things that people got wrong. Because let's face it, there were a lot of people who, looking back, especially all the way back to 2016. When Donald Trump had, as they claimed, no experience on the world stage, he wouldn't know what to do with foreign affairs. To look at the way that he's done so much on the world stage, I think, is incredibly impressive. But especially when it comes to Iran, we knew that they were developing a nuclear weapon, and we knew that no matter what we did here, no matter how many times we warned them, they were going to continue.

We tried to bomb and we did bomb a lot of their nuclear sites back in June. Didn't matter. They were redeveloping. They were trying to do it even right there under our noses. Here are the four things.

That all of the people who were discounting this president and what he could do got wrong about this Iran situation. Number one, Iran's supreme leader would be untouchable. Liz, we know that's not the case because in the first like 36 hours, this guy was gone. Number two, the Islamic revolutionary. Guard Corps would deploy its terrorist proxies to ignite a regional war.

Well, what's actually happened? The entire region has joined the fight against Iran because Iran, in some crazy move, decided to go after the rest of the Middle East in the craziest way I've ever seen. Number three, Israel would be isolated in the Middle East and vulnerable to attack from Arab neighbors. As I just said, that has not happened. In fact, the Arab neighbors have seemed to join up in this fight against Iran.

Number four, the United States would be isolated on the world stage and limited in what it could do to support Israel, which would benefit Russia and China.

So far, Liz. What is your take on things? Because none of those things that the naysayers would have suggested were going to happen have happened. And it's been quite the opposite. It's been pretty remarkable to see the support that the President has and our country has alongside Israel in this space.

Yeah, I mean, number one, like you said, it has been pretty remarkable how successful this has been. The president spoke about this the other day: that he thinks the war could actually end sooner than he had anticipated because things are going so well and so quickly.

So, I think, number one, obviously, we should be celebrating that. At the same time, it's ironic that all these naysayers that you're talking about are the same people that before President Trump came into the Oval Office were saying they would want to bomb Iran, that this was the only thing we could do to protect the future of world peace and our own United States interests. They talked very often about how Iran was a threat, again, not only to America, but to our allies. Everybody knows that Iran has tortured, kidnapped, and murdered Americans for decades now. Everybody knows they're the number one state sponsor of terrorism.

And every single naysayer that Donald Trump has has promised that if they were in that Oval Office, they would be doing the exact same thing.

So the irony is not lost on anyone. I think at this point, we're so politicized that we knew what all these Democrats, all these naysayers, were going to say before Donald Trump even decided to. Implement this mission in Iran. At the same time, however, the results speak for themselves. We, of course, mourn those American lives that were lost overseas.

That's what we're always going to do. And at the same time, we can celebrate the fact that we are one step closer to American safety for future generations because that's what Donald Trump is thinking about. Yeah, you're right, Liz. The people who have now been very critical of this president going in and doing something that, by the way, Danielle.

So many people said we're going to have to do it, but they kick the can, right? Obama sent pallets of cash. Joe Biden sent money to Iran, but they all acknowledged that Iran was a huge threat to our national security, to the stabilization of the entire world. You had Kamala Harris two years ago basically saying that somebody is going to have to deal with Iran. You had Hillary Clinton saying that she would go into Iran.

And yet, they've all been very critical of this president. I kind of feel like it doesn't matter what Donald Trump does, the Democrats' standpoint will always be to be on the opposite side of that. That seems to be their only. True policy platform is anything that isn't Donald Trump. But when it comes to protecting America, protecting the world.

This was a necessity, Danielle. This was something that we couldn't have kicked the can any further. It fell on this president to do. He had the guts to do what was necessary. And, you know, he said, I don't want a protracted war.

I don't want something going on for months or years. This is something we can get done, hopefully, in the series, you know, in a couple of weeks. Because at some point, they're not going to have any more missiles to fire off. They're not going to be any more people to fire them off. We've already decimated the entire Iranian Navy, right?

So this was a necessity for this moment in time. And I, Danielle, am personally grateful that we had this president in office to see it through. Yes, I could not imagine if we had had Kamala, Biden, or anybody else because President Trump knew exactly how to handle this. I think he took swift, decisive action. And we haven't actually been safer as a country until now.

Because even though people think, oh, you know, there's this kind of, you know, crazy stuff going on in Iran, it's like, no, actually, the danger was bubbling up until this point. And having the mullahs in control, we were in a lot of danger. And President Trump, I think, saw that, knew he had to take action. And now we're going to see a much safer United States knowing that we actually have a lot of our enemies much more at bay. I think the left, just like you said, they're going to oppose anything Trump does.

And so we just, we can't even, we can't really even contend with what the arguments are because, on the one hand, they're pro, they're pro-Hamas, they're pro-Palestine. But then when the people in Iran are cheering and dancing in the streets because they're being freed, they're not in favor of that.

So it's just complete opposite. But I think we're seeing freedom celebrate over there. We're going to be much safer here at home. And so, President Trump, I think he's just going to be very quick about all of this, and it's going to be a huge victory for us.

Well, he's been, you know, look, when you look at what he's already done with Maduro, right, and making sure that. That operation itself there went off very smoothly, very quickly. He didn't want to stay there in Venezuela and, you know. Metal in the business there. He did say, all right, well, we need to get things going for our energy production here.

We need to help facilitate that. But in the same way in Iran, he's saying, look, we're going to go in, we're going to do what's necessary, we're going to make sure that they are not developing a nuclear weapon. But we also understand that if we leave these lunatics, Liz, in power, if we leave this regime in power, Then this is not going to just go away. Obviously, they continued to do what we told them not to do, and they continued to lie about it. And the idea that somehow this regime is going to be cooperative whenever their whole MO is death to America and death to Israel, it's just, it doesn't make sense.

So, this president is saying, all right, we're going to get rid of the nuclear sites, but we also are going to make sure that the people who have caused this trouble for the entire world are not going to be able to do it anymore. And this president's saying, I need to be able to trust whoever the new leader is. And I think he's been very encouraging to the Iranian people. This is the time you guys need to rise up. We've already seen these moments, like we saw back in January where people took to the streets there in Iran.

And obviously, the regime killed thousands and thousands of people in a horrific way. But that's the hope, right? The hope is that there is some sort of. Of regime change there. There is some sort of a democratic society that Iran can get back to because once upon a time, that's who they were as a country 47 years ago.

Right, exactly. I think for a lot of people that should be the main goal. Obviously, for President Trump, he's worried about our own national security. But it's not lost, I'm sure, on him or anybody else that the brutality of that regime was on full display. As you mentioned a few weeks ago, when we were seeing tens of thousands of Iranian protesters being murdered by this regime, as Danielle noted, it's kind of ironic that the people that, you know, chant for Palestine and claim to be with all of the oppressed people worldwide or with the oppressors in this case and have no idea exactly what's going on.

But for President Trump, obviously he sees this as the leader of the free world, knowing he has a chance to actually rescue these people and save them and give them a brighter future like he's trying to do here. And I am confident that's a tiny piece of why this was so necessary for him. And you mentioned Venezuela. I don't think that when Donald Trump implemented the plan for Venezuela that he wasn't thinking that maybe this would also be an eye-opener for those that he was negotiating with in Iran. He was trying for months at this point to get a diplomatic resolution here.

He did not want to go in with these military strikes. And I think he wanted them and all of our adversaries around the world to say, hey, this is what we're capable of doing. Look at where the leader of Vuenezuela is. He's now in a court in New York City.

So if you want to be treated the exact same way, you know what you have to do. And if you want to avoid that, you have to negotiate with us and come to the table. They did not do that. And he clearly let them know exactly what happens when you don't respect the United States of America or the will of the people in your own nation, by the way, because that's what the entire world has been watching for months now. And we were all ready for him to finally put an end to that evil.

Yeah, he desperately tried. He sent Steve Woodkoff and Jared Kushner over multiple times to try and negotiate in good faith, and they didn't come to the table, Danielle. They obviously were just kind of jerking us around as a country, and they lied about the fact that they were continuing to develop a nuclear weapon. We just can't have that. And so it escalated to this.

But I mean, you're right, Liz. Look, the number one goal of this president is to protect the American people. He is always America first. But whenever you have Iran potentially developing a nuclear weapon, you can guarantee our safety.

So that's why this was necessary. At the same time, though, this president is hopeful that the right things happen. My God, he has solved eight conflicts around the world. You had this Iranian women's soccer team who was over, Danielle, in Australia for the Women's Asian Cup. And they lost this past weekend.

And apparently, They were sending help signals because they were branded as traitors back home in Iran, and they were worried, quite frankly, about. Going back to their home country because they thought that they would be killed. This is because they refused to sing their national anthem ahead of one of their matches. And so the president got involved, as he tends to do whenever he sees a space where he can make positive change. And he posted on Truth Social: he said, Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran national women's soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed.

The U.S. will take them if you won't. You know, the fact that you have all of this going on And this president, my God, how much stuff does he have to think about? The fact that he goes out of his way to try and help when he sees an issue where maybe he can make a difference, where there are people's lives who he truly feels like with these women, these soccer players, were online, I think is amazing. And I think he had a big impact here.

And thank God, hopefully, these women are safe. And if they aren't safe in Australia, they can come here to America and this President will help them out. I think it's awesome stuff, Daniel. Yeah, I think that it just highlights just how big President Trump's heart is, which I'm sure you know more than anyone. But I think just of all the examples, I mean, anytime he would see like the Nancy Guthrie news, he would be like, We all gonna help you any way we can.

Or even with, I think, what is it, Quayar, you know, he was like, You're a Democrat, I've been pardon you. It's like, he just, like, I think probably sees things, his heart breaks, and he just wants to help and wants to do what he can. And so, I think that's just what he's like as a person from what we all see. And so, it's really beautiful to see a president that's willing to do things like that. And, of course, I mean, who would want to send these women back to Iran where they're going to be slaughtered?

I mean, that is just absolutely sickening. And so, um, Of course, I think that was the right thing to do for him to put that out there. And I think that the left is just deranged at this point. And you would think there could be some things that they could agree with President Trump on that are just even just humanitarian or very basic things of compassion. But of course, we haven't seen that.

But that's okay. I think the rest of the country does, and the world does. Imagine it was Barack Obama who sent a message out to save this Iranian women's soccer team. Liz, I keep thinking about the numerous celebrities who would come out and applaud him and say, Great job, Obama. This is great stuff.

What a leader you are. Donald Trump will never get that kind of credit. He doesn't do it for that stuff, though. He also highlighted how absolutely deranged these people are, that these women's lives were in danger to go back to their own country because they didn't participate in the Pledge of Allegiance to a country where they are treated. Like second-class citizens.

It tells you all you need to know about what's going on in Iran. The other thing that I think is really kind of terrifying is that we had an open border for four years under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We know that we had tens of millions of people pouring in here. The people, those are the ones we know about. We know about certain people who were on the terror watch list.

What about the ones we don't know about? What about the possible Iranian sleeper cells that are here? In the United States, who had free access to just come on in over the past four years, who right now are probably planning something, according to the intelligence agencies. You had Cash Patel saying that U.S. counterterrorism and intelligence agents are currently on high alert.

He is the FBI director, so he would know. And there are reports that Iran sent out a possible operational trigger to activate the sleeper assets abroad. After this war began, and this was following the death, of course, of their supreme leader there in Iran, as we just noted, the Aetolla. Who was killed within like the first 24 to 36 hours of this situation? That's something I've thought about for a long time, though, Liz.

We have been so lucky, I think, that we haven't seen something really egregious happen in this country because, my God, anyone could just walk in for four years, not anymore. We have the most secure border in the history of America. Zero people released into the interior of the U.S. since August, I believe. But this is why a secure border matters because God only knows what's going on, who these people are, and what they have planned in our country.

As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next, and people of faith pray for freedom and to be protected. In Israel, red alert sirens fill the air, sirens that give you 15 seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious, the threat is real.

Well, I'm so excited to share something that has really impacted my daily life. If you find yourself struggling with low energy, brain fog, pesky colds, or waking up feeling stiff and achy, you need to look into Strong Cell. For me, focus is essential, and Strong Cell keeps me sharp and laser focused. Plus, it provides me with clean, natural energy. No jitters, no weird spikes, and definitely no afternoon crash.

I just feel alive. What really makes Strong Cell stand out is its star ingredient, NADH. This is a powerful compound that fuels every single cell in our bodies. Think of it as the spark plug for cellular energy. Unfortunately, as we age, our levels of NADH start to decline.

And with over 30 trillion cells in our bodies, it's clear that healthier cells translate to a healthier, more vibrant me. StrongCell doesn't just throw random ingredients together hoping for results. It uses a proprietary delivery system designed to ensure that those ingredients actually reach your cells. That's where they need to be to work their magic. This is important because so many supplements are just expensive powders without effective delivery.

The best part, you can try Strong Cell completely risk-free. If it doesn't work for you, there's a guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. If you're tired of feeling drained, struggling with brain fog, or simply not feeling like your best self, I strongly encourage you to check out Strong Cell Now. Visit strongsell.com and use discount code LARA to get 20% off your order. Remember, you can try it completely risk-free.

That's strongcell.com discount code LARA. Don't just take my word for it. Do your research. I did, and that's why I chose Strong Cell. Right, and that's the real problem because we were calling this out under Joe Biden for multiple years, and everyone was saying, but everything's going fine.

You have no proof that this is going to be dangerous, and then calling everyone racist and xenophobic who said that this was not good for the U.S. And the problem is nothing had to happen under Joe Biden for it to still be a major risk for us for the, I mean, remainder of our lives at this point, because we don't know who's here, like you said. We don't know where they came from, we don't know where they're hiding. At this point, I looked up reports after these strikes. There were people that were found here that came in illegally that are Iranian nationals.

There are people in our country that were arrested, thank God, that were found to have ties to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. I mean, these are people that are just floating around. We have no idea where they are, how to find them, or God forbid what they're planning. We saw what happened in that bar in Texas the other day. We saw a man who obviously was showing his allegiance to Iran with a t-shirt that he was wearing.

Everybody knows, unfortunately, why he did that. And to know that there are people in America that are watching these strikes and rooting against us and for the regime and are sitting on our soil. Plotting against our own country. That's really, really scary. And again, it's not just a problem for President Trump.

It's a problem for many generations to come, unless he can somehow get every single one of them out of America in the next three years. But as you said, it is tens of millions that have come in. We have no idea from where or who these people are. Most of them, like you said, were completely unvetted. And now every single president, probably in our lifetimes at least, is going to have to pick up the pieces and fix this mess that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made for all of us.

It's just so important. That you have secure borders, Danielle. This is just basic. But we were, as Liz just said, we were made to feel crazy for even calling it out. And I think people looked around and they said, Don't you want to know who's coming into America?

You think if Iran, who despite the 53 Democrats voting against this, Iran is and always has been for you know 47 years the number one state sponsor of terror, you think these people who have proxies around the Middle East and are funding them aren't possibly funding people right here in America? You don't think that they would love to take down the big Satan, as they call us? Absolutely, they would. And so the fact that we just had basically people asleep at the wheel, or in a lot of cases, it felt like they were welcoming these people in for four years. God, what a what an absolute failure.

On the part of the President, the Vice President, the Border Czar, Kamala Harris, shame on these people. If one American is harmed because of someone who came in under their watch, they should be responsible for it. It is outrageous they allowed this to happen. Yes, and much more than one American was harmed because of their actions because so many people have been harmed by illegal aliens. We, of course, see, you know, there's the criminal illegal aliens and so on, and we see a lot of the murdering, the raping, and so on.

But what about the terrorism? We see that, actually, just like you mentioned, who knows how many people came in who are from Iran? What about from China? What about all of our biggest adversaries? They're obviously going to exploit something like an open border in order to infiltrate the country.

It's not just going to be one-off, you know, gangs and so on, like brute force. It's going to be terrorism too, and sleeper cells. And so I think the fact that President Trump has closed the border is absolutely wonderful. But we also have to find these people and we need to get rid of them, and they all need to be deported.

Well, and that's why ICE has played such an important role, despite Democrats doing everything they can to push back against them, wanting them to be assaulted. We've seen the assaults go up like 8,000% for these people who are just trying to do a job of protecting Americans. That's why they're important because they get the bad guys out. They find these people who should have never been here in the first place and they get them out of our country. There was a situation over the weekend, Liz, in New York, where you have these individuals who During some sort of a protest outside of Gracie Mansion.

I think they were I mean, I think it's confirmed, they said they were inspired by ISIS, had these homemade explosive devices that they were hoping to detonate. I think they threw one of them and then the other one was found on the ground. These men If they are indeed Kind of ISIS sympathizers, that is a really scary thing to have in our country. And I think it's a very scary thing as well that you have the mayor of New York City not even calling that out. That's a big deal.

I don't think he's acknowledged at all that these are ISIS sympathizers. The one guy was seen doing sort of an ISIS, I don't even want to do it on screen, but it's some sort of a pose that members of ISIS do in all of their videos and all of their kind of propaganda out there as he was being escorted by police over the weekend. But, you know, if you're the mayor of the largest City in our country, and you have these two individuals. trying to in you know I hurt, maim, kill people who are sympathizers with ISIS, you might want to call that out as that is probably a pretty big deal. One of the men uh used the phrase aloakbar after his police interview, and I believe they waived their Miranda rights and just talked openly with the cops, which is also very interesting.

It's a whole situation in New York right now. It is certainly a situation. No, you're 100% right. I believe while they were being either arrested or, as you said, escorted by police, someone asked them, why did you do this? And they said this was for ISIS.

They 100% admitted they were radicalized. By what they saw online, by these terror groups, and they did it for a reason. Despite what you might read in CNN, this was not two innocent boys who ended up in New York somehow on a nice sunny day and accidentally dropped off a bomb outside of Gracie Mansion. These are two terrorists who wanted to, like you said, murder innocent Americans. I think the way it's been reported on is disgraceful.

I think the mayor's response and commentary is even more disgraceful. Unfortunately, it's not surprising. But we're talking about these threats, and it's not just Iran able to, through their proxies, you know, supply funds for terrorists. It's even people here who come from a lot of these nations who are radicalized just by the content that they see online, who are sitting here, who are not funded by Iran, that do not wish for the best for our country. They actively root against our country and want to target and harm innocent Americans.

That's what we saw over the weekend. It breaks my heart, as you know, knowing this is happening in my home. But anywhere that this happens in America is an atrocious situation. And unfortunately, with the mayor that we have, the way that he has treated our law enforcement officers in New York. York, I can only imagine this is going to continue on because nobody wants to step in and just stand up for American citizens anymore.

Because apparently, for Democrats, that is a losing comment. But I think for us, it's heartbreaking. Thank God, again, the bombs did not go off and everybody survived. But everyone should know this is the evil that exists all around our country. And it's just interesting though to me, Danielle, that he's he's a Muslim, a Zoran mom Donnie.

And I would think that if someone I were in that position as a Muslim. You know, if I claim that as my religion, I might want to come out and say, this is not part of the religion I practice. This is completely radical, and this is nothing we ever want to see. Why hasn't he done that? And then you couple that with the fact that his wife got a lot of heat over the weekend, for it's now been exposed that she liked all of these posts.

Online after October 7th, after this horrific situation in Israel took place, where you had, I mean, the most talk about atrocities: women and children, and elderly people who were just absolutely. I mean, it was horrible. We know they were burned to death, they were kidnapped, they were murdered, they were raped, all the horrible things that happened to them. This woman liked all of these posts. And his response was essentially like, Yeah, you know what?

She's a private citizen. I love my wife. That's okay. If she wants to, she's allowed to do what she wants. I just, I don't get it.

I don't get what's going on in New York City and why it's been so challenging for this mayor to come out and say the things that need to be said in these moments. Yeah, well, I think that it speaks to what their ideology is. They are radical left. I think he is clearly, this is part of his beliefs. He is Muslim.

He is also on the side of the, you know, the socialism and all of that. And they support Hamas. And many times, if he's asked about it, he doesn't denounce it. He doesn't want to go against it. And his wife, liking the post, him saying, oh, well, she's a private citizen, you know, that's okay.

Well, what about the content though? What about what do you believe?

Okay, let's say she is a private citizen. It's like he's still going to defend it. And so I think that people are right to be very worried about the direction that the left is moving because I think that they've always believed these things. It's just that they probably wouldn't say them out loud. It's probably that they were much more discreet about it, I guess.

Maybe it was something that was more behind the scenes. But the left is elevating people like Zoran Mandani. He's their leader now, basically, and he's one of their most popular figures. And so the fact that those kinds of people just are outright supporting Hamas, I think, tells us a lot. I mean, Liz, you said it, this is your home, New York City.

This is the home to the largest Jewish population in the entire country, New York City. And you have the mayor's wife. Liking these posts, and then the mayor himself not really coming out and condemning this stuff strongly at all. I don't know that he's condemned the October 7th attacks at all at this point. That's pretty outrageous.

Yeah, it's more than outrageous. And by the way, no one wanted to ask him about this, of course, but there were dozens of Americans also slaughtered on October 7th. And there were Americans that were taken hostage, by the way, on October 7th. You and I spent the first anniversary of October 7th with a hostage family with the president. And I watched as he promised to them that if he was re-elected, he would not sleep until their son was brought home.

And for those who don't know, on that same day, the anniversary of October 7th, Kamala Harris was shooting for the cover of Vogue.

So that tells everyone all they need to know about Democrats and where their priorities lie. But for Zoran Mamdani, again, it's not even about Israel or Jews. It's just about Americans and those that stand with terrorists and those that stand against them. And again, I guess the explanation that she's a private citizen really doesn't work in the age of Donald Trump when you and Eric and Don and everyone involved have been terrorized for years, when anyone who voted for Donald Trump, who wasn't even related to him, has been terrorized for years and made to be an enemy by the media. This obviously doesn't fly, but as Danielle said, what about his views?

believes that he disagrees with his wife and that's obviously the real problem here. It really is. Good luck to New York City. I don't know what to say. I hope that this is a learning opportunity.

And I hope that there's something left to put back together and rebuild after his tenure as mayor of New York. It's crazy stuff. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what comes next, and people of faith pray for freedom and to be protected. In Israel, red alert sirens fill the air, sirens that give you 15 seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious, the threat is real.

In times like these, Freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. They are what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large-scale distributions of life-saving food, first aid, and emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals, emergency rooms, and shelters are all stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly children, and those families in great need. But the fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work.

Now it's your time to stand up with Israel's most vulnerable. To rush your gift, call 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ or go online to ifcj.org. That's ifcj.org. I'll tell you what is good news, though.

The Shield of the Americas.

Okay, so you have 12 Latin American and Caribbean nations coming together to basically take on the drug cartels, Danielle. I think this is absolutely fantastic. And what's interesting, too, is that the message has been received loud and clear, I think, from This president And his position on the world stage: peace through strength, as he always says. And when America is strong and we exude strength. People try not to mess with us.

So, Mexican drug cartels, they say, are increasingly calculated in their targeting decisions. Often avoiding deliberately attacking American tourists and citizens out of concern it could prompt intensified U.S. retaliation.

So in in essence, the drug cartels I'm basically like, look, we're terrified of President Trump. We're a little scared of the United States right now.

So we're not going to mess with any of these citizens coming to visit Mexico like maybe we would have before. This is a different situation than we have ever seen. And it's pretty amazing. The president says it's time to treat these cartels like ISIS. We know that he labeled drug cartels as domestic terror organizations or foreign terrorist organizations.

I'm sorry. And he labeled fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Absolutely, it is. This pressure campaign is absolutely working when it comes to these drug cartels. You're bombing the boats as they're coming into the U.S.

Guess what? Don't send it into America. I love that he's putting together an entire group of people. And now we know that Christy Noam, who is currently the DHS secretary, will now transition to be in charge of this entire group as they basically handle drug cartels like they were ISIS. And I think that's exactly how they should be dealt with.

That is how they should be dealt with because it's a huge, it's a huge crime against American citizens when we have drugs coming into the U.S. We have young people, we have them, you know, in schools, people are getting hold of fentanyl, and of course, we see all of the tragic accidents, the tragic deaths.

So, it absolutely needs to be treated this way. And I think the fact that these other, whether it's gangs, whether it's countries, whether it's bad actors, are afraid of America again, that's a good thing. The fact that Trump, you know, ignites fear in them is good because honestly, that means that the rest of America is much safer. To be honest, I'm not sure tourists should be going to places where we have a lot of these gangs potentially attacking them. But that being said, I think that absolutely any time that we can have our enemies fear us, the better.

And I just couldn't imagine if we had Kamala right now that they would have even any semblance of fear, let alone they would probably be taking advantage of this situation to take advantage of Americans. We saw under Joe Biden. Biden, that a lot of the world did not fear us at all. We did not see any of that under Joe Biden.

So, under President Trump, it's been a complete opposite. You know, as an American, Liz, I always think You feel like when you go anywhere in the world, and this is sort of the sense I've had since I was a kid, that if anything happens to you anywhere in the world, like America's coming for you. Like, in my mind, they're going to send in whoever they need to rescue Americans anywhere in the world. And the reality is that's true right now. That's what this president is all about.

He's there to back up Americans wherever you are, at home, abroad. He's got your back. For a long time, it didn't feel like that was the case. But I've always thought to myself, we're so lucky to be Americans. And it turns out that that's actually the case when it comes to some of these bad actors around the world.

They see Americans and they're almost like, I don't think it's worth it because Trump is gonna come in and he's just gonna destroy and decimate all of us. I think that's probably a good thing. We want that reputation around the world. But I've always have you felt like that? Am I the only one that feels like that?

That like you go somewhere and you're like, yeah, now I'm American.

Somebody's gonna help me out. This country will have my back. They'll come for me. But that's how I've kind of always felt. I agree.

I'm a little too obnoxious about it, probably. I flew to Europe in September, and I shouldn't have done this four months pregnant. But I walked around in a giant USA sweater. I had a sweater for every day with either a flag on it or USA written on it or Donald Trump's name on it. I wanted everyone to know because I genuinely believed in my own delusional mind that if anyone messed with me, Donald Trump was coming to save me.

Like nothing was going to happen because Donald Trump was in the White House. But also, that's why I brought up those hostages from October 7th. When I grew up in the America that I knew growing up, if there was an American taken hostage, your leader did not rest until those people were brought home. And it seems like under Kamala and Joe, that was forgotten. Maybe it's because they didn't care.

Maybe it's because seeming like you were helping Israel didn't work with the far-left base. Whatever it was, there were Americans that were being held, dead and alive, and they seemed to forget all about it. Joe Biden probably forgot a lot more than just that. But it seemed to us like he had no idea what was going on and no inclination that he had a responsibility to bring. These innocent lives home.

And that's what I think everyone is feeling again, like you said under Donald Trump. This is what it should feel like. Whether you voted for the guy in the Oval Office or not, you should feel like your president is Superman. And wherever anyone is in the world, your country can come save you because we're the strongest, most powerful, most feared nation, most respected nation on the face of the earth, as it always should be. God bless America.

I feel very inspired right now. I love that. I love the idea that you go overseas and you wear like just like American flag outfits. That's great. You gotta let them know sometimes.

Before we go, this one really got me.

So apparently. The Los Angeles Marathon is doing something that I highly, highly disagree with, Danielle. I've run some marathons in my lifetime, I've done a lot of triathlons. Part of what you do is for you as just an individual. Yes, it's great to get the finisher medal, and it's great if you place in any of these things.

But it's more about like for me, It's more about willing myself to do something that I know is challenging and knowing deep down that like I can overcome it and doing something that's challenging and hard and whatever. The organizers for the twenty twenty six Los Angeles Marathon Marathon Are allowing participants this year to receive finisher medals. Even if they don't complete the full marathon. This is under a new decision, and apparently, the runners who reach mile eighteen will be given the option to turn towards the finish line early. Rather than complete the 26.2 mile race, they say if you're having a tough day and want to end your race before 26.2, you can choose to take the turn at mile 18 and head to the finish line early.

You do not need to notify anyone of your decision and can opt to take this route at any time.

Okay, absolutely not. This is insane. First of all, we have become a country of participation trophies. People are earning things that are getting things they didn't earn. This one really hits home for me because, my God, I have worked so hard to finish marathons before you get to mile 16 and you hit something, Danielle, called the wall.

And your body wants to stop running. You have to use every ounce of everything you have to keep moving.

So these people get to 18 and they just get to finish and they get the same metal everybody else does. Absolutely not, Danielle. I hate everything about this.

Well, if you ever go to Los Angeles and enter a triathlon or something there, then you don't even have to try. Why even show up? Why even go? You can just wake up in the morning and be like, you know what? I'm just going to collect my trophy.

So, yeah, I think this is how the left is operating. Obviously, I think at this point, the right has kind of rejected all of this. We've realized this is not the way to do things, whether you're an adult or whether you're a kid and you're doing stuff, you know, to start a race and you want to give out a trophy. It's like, no, that should be for the winners: first place, second place, third place, whatever it is, and not these participation trophies. It doesn't lead to excellence, it doesn't lead to motivation.

You don't even feel good about yourself, honestly, because you know that you didn't actually finish it or you didn't do what you were supposed to do, right? Like, I think that there's no winners from that. They think they're making everyone a winner, but the result is honestly that no one is.

So, it's ridiculous, but I think that's probably just Los Angeles. Scotty, I just hate it, Liz. I hate it. It's even worse than a participation trophy because you actually don't have to participate for the whole thing to get it. You just get, you can just cut it off.

There was a woman called Rosie Ruiz who ran the New York City Marathon. This is like 30, 40 years ago. And she very famously cheated in the New York City Marathon and cut off part of the route. And she was shamed for it, and rightfully so. This is absolute crap as far as I'm concerned.

What kind of message are we sending out there to our kids if you can just phone it in for a marathon? No thanks.

Okay, I kind of think both of you are bigots. Just because you don't finish the race doesn't mean you can't identify as somebody who did, okay? I don't understand where any of this is coming from. Oh, my God. No, look, it's a joke.

This is all a joke, and I refuse to dignify it with a real response. We should laugh at these people until they realize that they are messing up society, not just for all of us, but for themselves as well. It is so disappointing. I would like to shame every single person who takes the shortcut. For the LA Marathon.

And of course, it's in LA. Where else would you have something this stupid? But out in Los Angeles? My God, we have to get it together out there. Can we get a Republican elected as governor of California?

Please, we got to save them out there. All right, that's going to do it for us for this episode of The Right View. Guys, Liz and Danielle, thank you so much for joining. As always, great stuff today. To everybody at home, make sure you like, subscribe, share, and follow.

We'll see you back here next time for more of the right view. And I won't back down. Baby. Let me tell you something. The hedge fund guys already got theirs.

Goldman Partners, done deal. Private equity sharks, locked and loaded. They got in early, before the announcement, before the frenzy, before you even knew the game had started. That's how it's always worked. Bloomberg is calling SpaceX the biggest IPO of all time, a company reportedly worth over a trillion dollars.

There is a way for everyday investors to potentially gain exposure before the public feeding frenzy begins, before the headlines, before the momentum traders, before regular investors get shut out again. But here's the truth: windows like this don't stay open forever. If you want to see how you can get your hands on this pre-IPO access code, go to earlybirdipo.com. That's earlybirdipo.com.
