itary as a thank you and show of respect. Get ready. One, two, three. Uh-huh. Special military simultaneous sip. It was as good as I thoug
← Previous segment →ht it would be. Quite good. Quite good.
All right. Well, apparently it was an amazing military operation. We're gonna hear a lot more about it probably in the coming days and weeks. But congratulations to our military. I'm amazed how well that went. Now we might find out later it was messier than we think, but at the moment it looks like we could follow a specific individual, we could target him from a drone, and we could take out his car from the air.
Of course we've been able to do that for a while, but every time we do it I say to myself, is ground war just obsolete? I'm starting to think ground wars just don't make any sense anymore. We can do stuff like that.
Is it my imagination, or does Soleimani have evil eyes? Now when I say he has evil eyes, I think his eyes are actually spread across about an acre. But before he was killed, did you see the pictures of him? He had the most evil-looking eyes I've ever seen on a human being. Partly because he had that sort of salt-and-pepper gray hair, but those eyebrows were black. So he had like these dark, glowering, evil terrorist eyes.
Now if you don't think that matters, you're wrong. Because if he looked like a nice guy, I think it could make a little bit of difference. Not a big difference, but it would make a difference.
Trump tweeted an American flag last night, which was kind of perfect because he was just reminding the country they were all on the same team and things could get a little ugly. I will remind you that we're in the fog of war. So the first two days you're likely to hear incorrect reporting. Now it's probably true that we killed Soleimani the general, but don't be surprised if we find out new facts about the whole situation that completely changes how you think about it. So if it's like every other situation, you're gonna have some surprises in the next few days.
But before we get to my own theories about this, I would like to read for you some celebrity tweets on the topic. Now a lot of you said to yourselves, hey, there's a big international story, I better turn on CNN and I've got to listen to Fox News. I'd better catch up. But you're not really fully caught up until you've heard the drunk tweets of celebrities on this topic.
So I'd like to read two tweets, one from actor John Cusack and one from actress Rose McGowan. Now I'm reading the tweet and it's got punctuation that's all over the place and he spelled the word "until" with two L's at the end, and I'm feeling like maybe he had a drink. But this is the way I read his tweet: "Trump in full fascist mode 101 mode steal and lie until there's nothing left and started war. He's so hideous he doesn't know he just attacked Iran. That's not like anywhere else."
And then Rose McGowan: "Dear #Iran, the USA has disrespected your country, your flag. All 52% of us humbly apologize. We walk with irritation. We are being held hostage

by a terrorist we do not know how to escape. Please please do not kill us. #Soleimani." Now I feel like you're up to date. A lot of people haven't caught up with the drunk tweets yet, but now you have. So I'm looking at some of the complaints, and the funniest complaints are the ones that go like this: if somebody is a terrorist and he's killing your people, you really don't want to piss him off…
