TIM DILLON (HOST): Iran! It's because of Hezbollah in Lebanon or it's the Houthis in Yemen. These are all the groups that are preventing you from living the life you want. All of those groups, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Al Shabaab is back. Al Shabaab from Somalia. We've resurrected — Al Shabaab has returned. There's a there's a big scandal in — and I'm not saying that there isn't fraud. I'm sure there's fraud, but the money is going back to Al Shabaab.
So, now Al Shabaab has returned and, you know, we've got the Houthis and we've got Hezbollah and Israel's basically saying to Trump, we've got to go back into Iran and we've got to decapitate the Iranian regime, which there's a lot of protests right now happening in Iran. People are taking to the streets. They're protesting and Trump basically has said if you start killing the protesters, will — this is Donald Trump's tweet. If Iran shots, I think he meant shoots, but whatever. If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States Of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Now here's the other thing. He's threatened to kill protesters in our country. I mean, we have the national guard in cities. He basically has basically said, if you start protesting in a way we don't like, we might kill you.
So, now I'm against riots. I'm obviously all — that's crazy, but like he literally is concerned with the protesters in Iran. This is the concern. The concern is the safety of the protesters who are in Iran. It seems weird, but whatever. Whatever. You know, it's an odd — it's a tweet, a truth social, whatever you call it a truth. When he's doing stuff on truth social, he's truthing.
It feels like they're about to go to war. It feels like we're on the eve of a war where he goes, hey, man. If Iran harms a hair on the head of one of those protesters, we're going to come to their rescue. And coming to their rescue means we're going to decapitate the Iranian government and then the fun begins.
