All right, so we have two big updates coming out of the White House. First, regarding the president and him issuing a brutal warning uh to the Iranian regime. And secondly, Senator John Kennedy speaks out about Christine Gnome and what he believes led to the decision that happened earlier today. But first, let's hear from the president and what he had to say. Watch. >> I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military, and the police to lay down their arms. They're only going to be killed. And now is the time to stand up for the Iranian people and help take back your country. You're going to have a chance after all these years to take back your country. Accept immunity. We'll give you immunity and we'll be uh giving you really the right side of history because that's what it is. So you'll be perfectly safe with total immunity or you'll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't want to see that. They don't want to see it either. We also urge Iranian diplomats around the world to request asylum and to help us shape a new and better Iran with great potential. It's a country with great potential. Is much better future for Iran. It's now beginning. It's going to be, I think, a great future. And the United States will ensure that whoever leads the country next, Iran will not threaten America or its neighbors, Israel, anybody. >> All right. So that's the president in a special ceremony there at the White House and he's issuing a brutal warning to the Iranian regime. As you know, uh they are under fire. Many of them have been obliterated. There's still a lot to get done. Uh the worst is yet to come. According to the president and the secretary of war, Pete Hexath, because he also had his own press conference just moments ago where he said this >> part of two hours going through the entirety of this uh this operation, Operation Epic Fury. And Admiral, I want to thank you uh for everything you do and your incredible leadership, for your dynamic thinking, the way you're attacking this problem set on every level. In just days of Operation Epic Fury, you and your team have delivered nothing short of devastating precise strikes, taking out the better part of Iran's navy, making it combat ineffective, neutralizing missile sites and launchers, and establishing total dominance over the skies we fly over and seas we fly over. Our forces are executing with unmatched skill and the mission is advancing decisively. This is the kind of nononsense, resultsdriven war fighting that America demands and you're delivering it in spades. You are the man for this moment. >> Now, it's no secret the military loves what's going on with Iran because essentially we get to flex our muscles, right? We get to do it in real life. There's not another feeling like that, ladies and gentlemen. So, uh, as I said in the past and even earlier today on the live show, I don't think military members need the sympathy of the population. They know what they signed up for. Now, it's for our members in DC, our elected representatives, to make smart decisions. I still believe the president made a smart decision here. Let's make this quick. Let's make this decisive. You may still disagree with it in the end, and I respect that. But at the end of the day, he made a decision and it's clear that he's seeing this all the way through to the end, which is why he also said this during that press conference. Watch. >> 24 ships in three days. That's a lot of ships. Their anti-aircraft weapons are gone. So, they have no air force. They have no air defense. All of their airplanes are gone. Their communications are gone. Missiles are gone. launches are gone about 60% and 64% respectively. Other than that, they're doing quite well. I said, "What's left?" But they're tough and they want to fight and uh they're calling. They're saying, "How do we make a deal?" I said, "You're being a little bit late." And uh we want to fight now more than they do. We've had uh 47 years depending on the way you count it, but 47 years of horror with this group. And uh you know when you see somebody walking down the street without their legs, without the arms, whose face is so badly affected and hurt. Uh it mostly came from 95% Salomi and Iran. And we other presidents lived with it. I didn't live with it. And so our people are doing a great job. Again, the greatest military anyone's seen. Thank you. >> Now, the interesting thing while he's doing this press conference is that the House, just like the Senate did yesterday, voted on the War Powers Resolution Act, which essentially is all geared to stop the president from executing air strikes against foreign nations. That also failed. And in case you're curious of what the vote tally was, take a look at this. >> This War Powers resolution, we had it in the Senate yesterday and now in the House. What's the um the result? >> Yeah, and as we expected, this failed as well, which means Republicans found enough votes to defeat this War Powers Resolution. There were two Republicans that voted for it with all the Democrats and there were three Democrats and I'm not exactly sure which ones who voted with Republicans. So ultimately again this vote failed which is what the Republican leadership here wanted to remind everyone at home what this vote was about. The War Powers Resolution was a motion put forward mostly with the support of Democrats but also Republican Thomas Massie. And if it were to become law on paper, what it would do is force President Trump's hand to have to come to Congress and have authorized any more military action in Iran. It would not allow the president to unilaterally make that decision to strike further. Obviously, this vote in the Senate and the House failed, so it's a moot point anyway. It was largely though a symbolic vote because President Trump would have vetoed it regardless had these pass. >> Okay, let's take a quick break because I want to share this message for the men out there who watch my show. Uh if you're dealing with the Texas heat like me, if you're in the outdoors or you're traveling, body odor can become an issue pretty quickly. That's why personally when I use deodorant, I not only put it in my underarms, but I also will spread it across my body at times, especially if I'm outside. Well, I finally came across a product where I won't have to necessarily do that because their whole mission in life is creating something called a whole body deodorant. The name is Mando. Uh this is a product created by a doctor who wanted a serious solution for the men out there who want to cover not only their underarms but possibly their feet if in case that you sweat there or the package that God has given us because we know odors can get out of control. So guys, if that's an issue you've been dealing with, I think you'll love this because once you put it on, the thing that I love about it is it lasts a very long time. So go to shopmando.com, use promo code D'vori, try it out for yourself. I really believe you're going to be happy about it. Again, shopmando.com, promo code D'vori, or click the link in the description below. Yeah, and I don't think Democrats really believe that it would pass. what they were really shooting for uh was to have on the record both Democrat and Republican showing what they truly support and what the president is doing. You either support this or you don't prove it by let's us doing a vote on the record. So, at the end of the day, as I stated, this train's already moving. There's no stopping it. Uh the best thing that we can hope for is that it comes to an end shortly. The longer it drags on, the more likely people will be against this. Uh and I think that is the reality at this point. Now, let's go to our ne our next update. This is regarding Christine Gnome. I see a lot of you guys were upset at the word firing. So, we're going to break it down for you in a very simple and concise manner. But before we do that, I have to show you this clip from Senator John Kennedy where essentially he told reporters that Christine Gnome lied to him in Congress. Take a look. >> I heard the secretary say that she went to the president and said, "I proposed to spend a quarter of a billion dollars of television advertisements in which I am the star. Um, and that the president thought that was a swell idea. That's what I heard the secretary say. Um, from from from my perspective, uh, her her version of the truth and the president's version of the truth have decided to be different. Now, the way that it works in Washington, when you fire someone who is a cabinet member, especially if they've been confirmed by the Senate, you'll make up a position after the fact, uh, and move them there so they're still within the government, so to speak. Uh, that way she's not allowed to write any books or say any public statements to contradict, uh, the messaging from the White House. So, when we said that she was fired, that's absolutely factual. she was let go of her position. Now, after she was let go of her position, the president announced that someone would be replacing her. He hasn't been confirmed by the Senate, by the way, Senator Mullen. So, we'll see there. And then he announced that she would be moving into a position that they essentially have to make up for her. Now, guys, if you're so triggered about the word fired, I hope you're triggered that she lied to Congress about the president approving her $200 million ad campaign. You're not triggered about that? >> Have confidence in Secretary No. >> Time will tell. >> Would you vote for her again if you had a chance? Time will tell. Do >> you have confidence in her? Answer that. That's not my decision. >> Did you voted to confirm her? >> That's not my decision. If the president That's up to the president. I want to be a team player. Um um and I'm I want to secure the border and I want to enforce our immigration laws, but but I'm tired of trying to explain behavior that is inexplicable >> to me. Well, if you had a chance to vote for her again, would you? >> I'm not going to answer that, Manu. You can try a thousand times, mate. Lots of luck to you. Now, Parkway Mullen almost certainly would get the support of a majority of United States senators to be confirmed as the next Secretary of Homeland Security. The Senate tends to look favorably upon its own. He has served in this body for three years. He's a former House member for about 10 years. He's a former mixed martial arts fighter as well. And he's also been a staunch defender of President Trump's agenda. It is unclear exactly when it was informed to Mullen that he would be Donald Trump's pick because he did speak to reporters at about 12:30 this afternoon. He was asked about these rumors about Trump floating his name as replacement. At that point, he said he had not spoken to Trump all week and then he went who's hold up in the number two Senate Republicans office, John Baraso. He was not seen for some time. He left the capital without commenting, perhaps taking a call from the president at that point. So, a surprise to many here and maybe even to Senator Mullet. >> If I was a military commander, a captain, okay, and my battalion commander came to me and said, "Hey, uh, you no longer will be the commander of this unit effective this date." And matter of fact, we're going to move you back to headquarters and we're going to make up a a project for you to focus on. You won't be in command of anybody. Ladies and gentlemen, at a minimum, that is a demotion. At a minimum, I have lost my position as commander. In layman terms, for the average American walking down the street, that means they were fired. But hey, I guess we'll focus more on the language of that than instead of her lying to Congress and especially how it pissed off the president. Now, why would the president write a statement saying he's mad at Christy Gnome? Why would he do that? Of course, he wouldn't do that. He's not going to give that to the media. So he writes up a nice little puff statement for her and promotes Senator Mullen. Guys, this is politics. Please exercise critical thinking. Let's go to Pete Hexath. Here's his response. Watch. Mr. >> And I would just close by saying, >> Mr. Secretary, one more question. Uh would you what is your message to Americans who are concerned about security here at home with the change up that we're going to see at the Department of Homeland Security? Well, I think I think uh Christy Gnome did an excellent job over there securing our border and and get keeping us focused on on threats and president making a change. We all serve at the pleasure of the president. I'm sure Mark Wayne Mullen will do a fantastic job. He's been a friend of mine for a long time. But uh Christie did a great job setting us up for success. So I don't have any concerns about whether or not uh the homeland will be covered down on. Bottom line is I love that Senator Mullen will be the potential replacement. again, he hasn't been confirmed, so it could change because remember by doing this, this actually takes one vote away uh from the Senate. So that is a problem there, which I think people are going to start talking more about. And number two, it doesn't mean that Christina was a terrible secretary of DHS. It means she exercised poor judgment on certain things that actually matter to the president. Like when you're testifying on Capitol Hill in in a hearing, you better be accurate with your statements regarding the president. She wasn't. And then you tack on the fact that she has this alleged affair with Cory Lundowski. Yeah. Now you're becoming messy. You're becoming a distraction to what the president's trying to accomplish here. Again, he won't say this publicly, folks. Now, let's go to reporting on this in case you think I'm just blowing smoke. Here's what Fox News had to say. week, Senator Kennedy just gaggled with reporters here at the Hill a short time ago and he gave us a bigger picture look at this. So, he said ahead of that hearing, he had heard about this $200 million ad buy that DHS and Secretary Gnome did. Of course, we've seen the ads where she's on horseback and she's featured heavily. Uh there were some allegations that maybe there was some cronyism in those contracts. So, Senator Kennedy said uh that he was offended by the size and scope of that contract. So, he called up the White House and he said, "We've got Nome on the Hill tomorrow. I would like to press her under oath and asked her about this contract." And he said the White House essentially uh didn't oppose it. Said, "Go ahead." So, then we see that that hearing on Tuesday where he pressed her about the contract directly and he asked her repeatedly, "Did President Trump personally approve of this contract to to spend $200 million on this ad contract?" And Christine Gnome replied under oath that yes he did. Well, President Trump is now saying that that is not true. And just a short time ago, um, uh, Senator Kennedy gave us a quote. He says President Trump called him after that hearing after he saw Gnome's testimony and that President Trump was quote mad as a murder hornet um, and said that he never approved that contract and didn't even know about it. >> So, let's pause. Now you know that the president was angry at her hearing. Now do you understand why I said that she was fired? Are you guys finally catching on? Or do you still believe in the idea that she was promoted? Guys, she misrepresented the president. She lied to Congress. It's interesting that she's not going to be held on perjury charges, of course, uh which I think she doesn't necessarily deserve in my opinion. But guys, all I'm asking for is for us to be consistent. hold the same standard we did of Morcus to our own. Don't lie about the president. And if you think Senator John Kennedy is lying, then why don't we have statements from Steven Miller to Caroline Levit to the president himself say, "Nope, Senator Kennedy is wrong here. He's not telling the truth." You don't hear any of that and you won't hear any of that. >> You know, the the person that you're citing, the source that you're citing, and just tick off for us again the three things that they told you went into this decision because that's not really a soft pedal. uh the way that it was described to you. Can you go through those again one more time? >> Minnesota, her handling of the fallout to the uh the deaths in Minnesota of Renee Good and Alex Prey, the statements that she made in public calling them domestic terrorists before um some of the facts had come in and her handling of that scenario, the ad campaign, the $200 million that featured her on horseback at Mount Rushmore and claiming that the president signed off on it when he had not. uh and also the allegations of an affair with Cory Luwendowski. Uh this person close to the president described these three things as a combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures. So less a decision uh to move her into a new role than to get her out of the one she had been serving in. >> Okay. So bottom line is this as we look at the full picture. Number one, Chrissy Gnome did a great job under the circumstances. However, she still fell short in representing the president in a Senate hearing. Okay, that's the bottom line to it, including her alleged affair uh with a subordinate of hers, which is a problem obviously in the federal government. Number two, now that Mullen may be confirmed, that would be a problem for Senate Republicans. That's one less vote. Problem number three, she is now poised to be prosecuted by Democrats. Okay? So, she's no longer going to be a cabinet member, folks. They will come for her, and I think that is a problem as well. At any rate, just to prove my statement that they will come for her, here they are on CNN admitting that fact. Take a look. >> Um, you called this fraud. Do you think her firing and being given another job in the administration is appropriate? >> Well, I certainly think her being terminated is appropriate. Uh, and it's an important step in our fight for accountability, but it is a first step. Accountability ultimately means that if there were any laws violated, procurement laws, conflict of interest laws, that those ultimately that evidence is uncovered and that uh you know prosecutions commence if appropriate. And so I I don't think that this is this is the beginning, not the end with respect to accountability with respect to the new position that the president apparently conjured up. It sounds like something he saw in a movie, but um anyway, we're not quite sure what this new position is. >> Yeah, listen, I did two years of government contracting. I was a contracting officer because I was in logistics. I took the actual training. Uh what I heard that she did under DHS allowing a $200 million contract to go out with no bids, meaning they had already made up their mind about who they were going to choose. That violates all common sense and rules regarding government contracting. But hey, again, I'm not raging against Christine. I'm being objectively fair with my analysis. On one hand, she did as good as she could do with the current circumstances. Okay, that's the bottom line to it. All right. on the other hand, she exercised poor jud judgment. That's just the bottom line to it in my opinion. Uh I I wish her all the best, of course. I hope she's not prosecuted obviously and I hope that we can move on and continue to maximize this mass deportation operation. That's really all I care about in the end. And I'm sure uh or I think you might agree with me on that. But if you do, I guess leave your comments below. Uh let me know what you think about these two big updates. the warning from the president to the Iranian regime uh that they better figure it out or all hell is coming to them. And secondly, new reporting regarding Senator Kennedy exposing Christine for lying to him during that Senate hearing and how the president was upset at her. Does that make you see things differently? Give me your thoughts and everything you got in the comment section below.
