This is such a revealing clip. The American media is full of the least curious, least insightful people in our country.
To recap, an out of context, "low confidence" and incomplete intelligence report was selectively leaked to the media. The media reported on the findings without any real effort to figure out whether they represent any part of (much less the full) truth. The way the media has presented the report is contradicted by the IAEA, the Iranians themselves, and the administration's political and defense leadership. More importantly, the media's reports are contradicted by common sense.
To summarize: a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters were dropped on Iran's main nuclear site. (The other two sites that were targeted suffered heavy damage too). No one disputes they hit their targets. No one disputes the explosive or destructive power of the weapons. No one disputes that a week ago, Iran could have easily assembled a nuclear weapon and now they can't.
The entire debate--even accepting the press's dishonest framing--is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can't. It's about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do in order to achieve a nuclear weapon. In other words, after a wildly successful military operation with no American casualties, the American media is trying to blame Donald Trump for the existence of facilities *that haven't even been built yet.*
(Set to the side Iran's willingness to rebuild their program. As the President himself said, they now know there are serious consequences for rebuilding. They also learned that we can very easily set their progress back.)
There is actually an interesting story here, if the media was interested in telling it. Why are members of the intelligence community leaking incomplete reports against the elected leadership of the country? Why have the same reporters who have gotten so much wrong learned so little? What is the purpose of these leaks--who is behind them, and what are they trying to achieve?
The media won't investigate that story, though it would be in the public interest to do so. So pay attention to the reporters who are laundering talking points from junior careerists in the intelligence community.
President Trump has obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. The American media seems destined to obliterate their own credibility on this fake story.

There is no way Iran itself would even know in 72 hours how long it would take to rebuild its nuclear facilities
Do you think they drilled through 200 feet of collapsed rock and did a thorough architectural assessment of not only structural integrity of the building but also highly technical nuclear enrichment equipment?
Especially as Israel continued to bomb the same area?
Absolutely not
This is a Deep State attack by the DC war machine trying to gin up more war
It’s a weak attack to deflate Trump’s momentum after a historic foreign policy victory
It failed
Prosecute whoever leaked the info
Today’s inflation report is a big deal and confirms easing inflation: prices up 2.1% April is very close to the Fed’s target. Core services inflation was flat on the month and the tamest in 5 years, so even if goods inflation flares a bit in coming months- between services inflation, housing costs finally breaking and oil declines… doesn’t seem like we have an inflation problem
How can Biden let Millions of Criminals into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted, with no Legal authority to do so, yet I, in order to make up for this assault to our Nation, am expected to go through a lengthy Legal process, separately, for each and every Criminal Alien. As usual, TWO DIFFERENT STANDARDS, only leading to the Complete and Total Destruction of the U.S.A. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

More good news on inflation ahead of tariffs…
Import prices -0.1% in March and 0.1% ex fuel. More evidence of moderating inflation. Tariffs are coming but could be easier to absorb with inflation coming down into it…
DOGE staffer Tyler Hassen had FIVE businesses in Houston that he left behind to help clean up our government:
“I was running 5 businesses in Houston and I left that. I left great people to do this… I feel like this is me giving back to the country.”
Elon Musk becomes deeply moved, and deadly serious, when Bret Baier asks him why he called Sen. Mark Kelly a "Traitor" for pushing to send more US aid and weapons to Ukraine.
Watch every second of his response.
"We should have empathy for the thousands of people dying everyday in the trenches. For no movement in the lines. For the past two years thousands of people have died every week for nothing."
"I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can't give into Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day."
"I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they're virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don't have a father. It means parents lost a son. For what? Nothing."
So far on X today …
353,864 Democrats praising Zelensky ….
Number of volunteers to go fight in Ukraine - 0
Combined money donated to Ukraine … $0.00.
It’s almost like they’re all full of shit.
Shut down the entitlement state & you solve most of the immigration problem right there. We need to man up & fix the root cause that draws migrants here in the first place: the welfare state. But no one seems to want to say that part out loud, because too many native-born Americans are addicted to it themselves.
