In the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, radio host Charlemagne tha God suggested that Trump was “solely responsible for creating this environment of political violence.”
On Saturday, a shooter attempted to kill Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and missed murdering him by inches because Trump had turned his head a moment before the shot rang out and struck his right ear.
“Remember when Trump posted pictures of (President Joe) Biden looking like he’s bound and hogtied on his social media?” the radio host asked. “Donald Trump, in an attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election, told his followers to fight, and that led to an attempted coup of this country, and some of his followers did bring guns and ammunition to D.C. for that purpose. They did storm the Capitol; they were chanting to hang Mike Pence because he wouldn’t alter the election results. That happened. And it happened because of Donald Trump.”
“I’m not even going to go down the rabbit hole of how many times Donald Trump has incited political violence or co-signed political violence or suggested political violence,” he continued. “I’ll give you a couple that come to mind. You remember when the now governor of Montana — I believe it was Montana &#8212; he was running for Congress and he body-slammed a reporter and got charged with assault, and Donald Trump said, ‘He is my type?’ Is that not encouraging violence? Remember when Donald Trump suggested that, you know, Second Amendment advocates assassinate Hillary Clinton?”
“So (House Speaker) Mike Johnson and (vice-presidential nominee) JD Vance, please don’t act like Donald Trump is not solely responsible for creating this environment of political violence that he’s not even safe from,” he concluded.

On June 8, President Joe Biden, in a widely <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/07/08/congress/defiant-biden-tells-donors-were-done-with-the-debate-00166834">reported</a> remark, told donors, “I have one job and that&#8217;s to beat Donald Trump. &#8230; So, we&#8217;re done talking about the debate, it&#8217;s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
As far back as the Ronald Reagan presidency, Democrats used extreme language to attack Reagan, likening him to Hitler in the same manner as today’s Democrats have used the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slGr9UEv5hw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hitlerian</a> <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/05/21/biden-trump-unified-reich-nazi-germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comparison</a> to attack Trump.
As the American Enterprise Institute <a href="https://www.aei.org/articles/the-liberal-misappropriation-of-a-conservative-president/">recalled</a>, “Democratic Rep. William Clay of Missouri charged that Reagan was ‘trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted verbatim from Mein Kampf.’ The Los Angeles Times cartoonist Paul Conrad drew a panel depicting Reagan plotting a fascist putsch in a darkened Munich beer hall.”

Charlemagne Tha God Suggests Trump Is ‘Solely Responsible’ For Environment Of Political Violence

President Trump&#8217;s Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says the media is misrepresenting her assessment of Iran&#8217;s nuclear program.
In a Friday post following a barb from Trump that she was &#8220;wrong&#8221; about Iran, Gabbard said that the media misrepresented her intelligence assessment.
&#8220;The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division,&#8221; Gabbard said, along with video of her March testimony. &#8220;America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.&#8221;
Gabbard&#8217;s assessment has been seized on by many who oppose any military action to take out Iran&#8217;s nuclear program, who point to her statement that the intelligence community &#8220;continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.&#8221; That statement was followed up, however, by Gabbard telling the committee that Iran was enriching uranium at a level unprecedented for any nation that was not pursuing nuclear weapons.

&nbsp;
The post came just hours after Trump insisted on Friday that his intelligence shows that Iran is building a nuclear weapon when asked about Gabbard&#8217;s assessment.
In response to a reporter&#8217;s contention that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;intelligence community has said they have no evidence&#8221; that Iran is &#8220;building a nuclear weapon,&#8221; Trump replied, asking where the reporter was getting his information.
“Well, then my intelligence community is wrong,” Trump replied bluntly. “Who in the intelligence community said that?”
“Your Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard,” the reporter answered.
“She’s wrong,” Trump said succinctly.
Trump had been asked about Gabbard&#8217;s assessment before, and similarly dismissed it.
On Tuesday, speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to having one.”

&nbsp;
Gabbard&#8217;s team has said the intelligence official is in lockstep with Trump on Iran, and pushed back against reports that she was out of the loop on questions of whether or not to strike its nuclear program.
Below is Gabbard&#8217;s full testimony on Iran, which also includes her stating that Iran has powerful weapons capable of striking U.S. targets:
<blockquote>Iran continues to seek expansion of its influence in the Middle East, despite the degradation to its proxies and defenses during the Gaza conflict. Iran has developed and maintains ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs, including systems capable of striking U.S. targets and allies in the region. Tehran has shown a willingness to use these weapons, including during a 2020 attack on U.S. forces in Iraq and in attacks against Israel in April and October 2024. Iran’s cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data.
The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. In the past year, we have seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.
Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for a U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming, and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorist and militant actors, which it refers to as its “Axis of Resistance.” Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats, including to Israel’s population, U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, and to U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit.</blockquote>
On Friday, a reporter <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6374629947112">asked</a>, “Mr. President, the Iranian Foreign Minister this afternoon said if the U.S. is serious about negotiations, then you would call up Israel and request that they stop their airstrikes. Will you make that request?”
“Well, I think it’s very hard to make that request right now,” Trump answered. “If somebody’s winning, it’s a little bit harder to do than if somebody’s losing.”
Asked about the two-week ultimatum he gave Iran to surrender, Trump said it was “just a time to see whether or not people will come to their senses.”
Trump recalled how he opposed the war in Iraq because he did not believe they had weapons of mass destruction, then turned to Iran, saying, “It looked like I’m right about the material that they’ve gathered already; it’s a tremendous amount of material. And I think in a matter of weeks or certainly within a matter of months, they’re going to be able to have a nuclear weapon. We can’t let that happen.”

Tulsi Gabbard Says Media Misrepresents Her Intel Assessment On Iran Nukes

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled unanimously that victims of Palestinian terrorism can sue the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization in United States courts.
In 2019, Congress passed the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (PSJVTA), which permitted victims of terror attacks to sue the groups responsible.
“The PSJVTA names the PA and PLO specifically and provides that they ‘shall be deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction’ in ATA (Anti-Terrorism Act of 1990) cases under two circumstances,” the Court <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/24-20">noted</a>. “The first jurisdictional predicate relates to respondents’ practice of paying salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons and to families of deceased terrorists — conduct Congress has condemned as ‘an incentive to commit acts of terror.’ The second ties jurisdiction to respondents’ activities on U.S. soil.”
The Court’s ruling encompassed two cases, the first being Fuld et al v. Palestine Liberation Organization et al, which involved Ari Fuld — a father of four who held dual American-Israeli citizenship — being fatally stabbed in the back by a 17-year-old terrorist whose family received compensation as part of the Palestinian Authority&#8217;s “Pay for Slay” program.
&#8220;Palestinians and Israeli Arabs who are convicted by Israel of involvement in terror attacks in Israel&#8221; are &#8220;entitled to monthly &#8216;salaries&#8217; commencing with their arrest — and continuing for life for men who serve at least five years and women who serve at least two,&#8221; along with other financial incentives, Endowment for Middle East Truth <a href="https://emetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Pay4Slay_Fact-Sheet-FINAL.pdf">explains</a>.
A second case involved a group of 11 American families representing citizens injured during terror attacks in Israel, and the estates or survivors of those killed in the attacks between 2002 and 2004. That case initially won the victims a $655 million settlement against the Palestinians’ government, but then the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision violated the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
But on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that the PSJVTA’s personal jurisdiction provision did not violate the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, adding, “The Federal Government may craft a narrow jurisdictional  provision ensuring American injured or killed by acts of terror have an adequate forum in which to vindicate their right to ATA compensation.”
The case from the 11 families encompassed <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-20_f2bh.pdf">a number of incidents,</a> including the January 22, 2002, Jaffa Road Shooting in which a Palestinian Authority police officer opened fire on a pedestrian mall in Jerusalem, killing two individuals and wounding 45 others. It also included the January 29, 2004, Bus No. 19 Bombing, in which a Palestinian Authority officer detonated a suicide vest on a crowded bus, killing 11 people, including one of the plaintiffs.

Supreme Court Hands Major Victory To Families Of Terrorist Victims

Iran has launched <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/18/world-news/iran-has-launched-400-ballistic-missiles-at-israel-but-only-20-hit-urban-targets-as-stockpile-quickly-dwindles/">more than 400 ballistic missiles</a> indiscriminately at Israel in the last week, targeting civilian populations — and late this week it stepped its attacks up by using a cluster bomb in an attack on a hospital, according to the Israeli military.
Cluster bombs are widely condemned due to the fact that they&#8217;re impossible to target. “Cluster munitions have warheads that burst and scatter numerous bomblets, and are known for causing indiscriminate harm to civilians,” The New York Times has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/19/world/middleeast/israels-military-says-iran-struck-with-a-missile-armed-with-cluster-munitions.html">noted</a>.
The evidence that Iran used cluster bombs is overwhelming.
“Iran likely targeted Beersheba with a cluster bomb in its latest attack on Israel, footage shows,” Times of Israel military correspondent Emanuel fabian reported on X. “Videos and photos from the southern city show several impacts of small munitions at multiple locations in the city, indicating that a ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead was used in the attack. One of the small munitions hit a daycare. No injuries were reported in Beersheba. Yesterday, the IDF Home Front Command confirmed that Iran launched at least one ballistic missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead at central Israel. It said the missile&#8217;s warhead opened up while descending, at around 7 kilometers altitude, spreading around 20 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms of explosives, in a radius of around 8km.”

Meanwhile, on Friday, Iran launched ballistic missiles again, targeting Haifa, one of Israel’s largest cities.  “The Iranian regime has just launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Haifa—a city where Jews and Arabs live side by side in peace. One missile struck next to a mosque. The Iranian regime is firing indiscriminately at civilians—with zero regard for who they hit,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry reported.

Though anti-Israel commentators have noted that Israel has also targeted hospitals in its war against Hamas, there is no evidence that Israel has any military housed in hospitals. Hamas routinely uses hospitals as command centers, a fact <a href="applewebdata://2B0790C0-8599-422A-9597-45EFDDFF044A/v">admitted</a> by a Hamas terrorist interrogated by Israel in December 2023.

Why Iran’s Cluster Bomb Attacks On Israel Are A Major Escalation

Last week, as part of Operation Narnia, Israel simultaneously killed nine of the despotic Iranian regime’s top ten nuclear scientists, prompting questions as to how such an action was accomplished.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, all nine were killed while sleeping in a simultaneous action so there would be no time for anyone to tip off any of the scientists; a tenth scientist was killed shortly afterward. The actions were carried out using a special weapon, but Israel has not revealed exactly what kind of weapon was used.
In the past, when Iranian nuclear scientists were targeted, the killings occurred when they were on the way to their cars after work; thus, one Israeli official speculated that the scientists felt safe in their homes, the Times of Israel <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/operation-narnia-irans-nuclear-scientists-reportedly-killed-simultaneously-using-special-weapon/">reported</a>.
Israel decided last November to hunt down the ten scientists, Channel 12 reported.
“Israeli intelligence officials felt that the killing of the nuclear scientists was the most important part of Operation Narnia because the military leadership and equipment killed would be more easily replaceable, while the knowledge held by the nuclear scientists would take much longer to ascertain, the network said, citing an unnamed senior Israeli official,” the Times of Israel stated.
“Throughout the operation, Israeli intelligence officials categorized Iran’s nuclear scientists into four levels for elimination, ranking them from highest to lowest priority,” The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-858406">reported</a>. “The scientists with the most military expertise and the greatest difficulty in replacing them were ranked highest. Israel then compiled a hit list, ready for execution at command, with the most dangerous scientists at the top.”
On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote to Iranians on the IDF Farsi account on X:
<blockquote>
Dear citizens of Iran, We understand your difficult situation in light of the difficult circumstances the regime has created for you. In recent days, we have received many messages from loved ones who are worried about the current uncertain future. Even those who identify themselves as members of the regime&#8217;s security institutions express their fear, despair, and anger at what is happening in Iran and ask us to contact Israeli authorities &#8211; so that Iran does not suffer the same fate as Lebanon and Gaza. It is important to clarify here that we are not the appropriate authority for such requests.
</blockquote>
The IDF then provided a link to the Mossad.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&nbsp;
According to The Jerusalem Post, the Mossad responded, “Iran claims to have attacked a Mossad building with missile strikes. Fortunately, no one was there&#8230; everyone is in Iran.”

Israel Killed 9 Top Iranian Nuclear Scientists Simultaneously. The Details Are Wild.

The misinformation published on social media sites about Israel is now being destroyed by fact-checkers all across the internet.
After an image possibly fomented by Iran of a downed Israeli fighter jet went viral, and other fake images were purveyed that also targeted Israel, a website devoted to defending Israel from the myriad falsehoods spread about it by antisemites demolished the narrative in a series of posts on X.
“Iran couldn’t down an F-35, so it conjured one with AI. A ‘destroyed jet,’ a ‘leveled airport,’ even a Star Wars Star Destroyer hidden under Tel Aviv—all fabricated and pushed out as proof of victory,” Honest Reporting pointed out. When someone hilariously posted a claim that Israel was hiding F-35 jets and submarines under an apartment building, Honest Reporting gibed, “This isn’t in the sub-level of a Tel Aviv apartment building. It’s an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars.”

“However, we found that the video is actually from the Russia-Ukraine war. According to reports, it shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian drone attack in January 2025 that caused fires at a Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region,” the post continued. “INTENT: Propaganda accounts are circulating old videos from the Russia-Ukraine war with misleading claims to set their narrative over the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.”

Fact Checkers Destroy Fake News And False Narratives About Israel

On Wednesday, hard-Left Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was slammed after he joined the antisemites who posit that Israel determines American foreign policy.
Sanders targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu including Hamas, Hezbollah, and now the despotic anti-Israel regime in Iran. On Monday, Sanders introduced the “No War On Iran Act, and attacked Netanyahu again, snapping, &#8220;Netanyahu&#8217;s reckless and illegal attacks violate international law and risk igniting a regional war. Congress must make it clear that the United States will not be dragged into Netanyahu&#8217;s war of choice.”
“Netanyahu is not the President of the United States,” Sanders wrote on X on Wednesday. “He should not be determining U.S. foreign and military policy. If the people of Israel support his decision to start a war with Iran, that is their business and their war. The United States must not be a part of it.”

“Sorry Bernie maybe you missed the two massive waves of drone and missile attacks launched by Iran against Israel last year? But let’s not let simple facts get in the way of your foolish narratives,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) <a href="https://x.com/RepDanCrenshaw/status/1935056652408930675">fired back</a>.
<a href="https://mosaicmagazine.com/picks/israel-zionism/2019/04/catering-to-the-democratic-fringe-bernie-sanders-defames-israel-again/">Mosaic Magazine</a> has noted:
<blockquote>
When Sanders wanted to win the Democratic nomination in 2016, he claimed that Israel had killed over 10,000 innocent Palestinians, launched indiscriminate attacks in the Gaza Strip, and shelled hospitals in Gaza during Operation Protective Edge in 2014. The senator not only inflated the numbers by several orders of magnitude, he even outdid the Hamas spokespersons in creating a false narrative that the IDF was intentionally attacking the civilian population.
</blockquote>
In February 2024, Sanders <a href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/in-the-news/sanders-welch-break-with-democrats-to-vote-no-on-israel-ukraine-aid-package/">voted against</a> a major foreign aid package to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia because he objected to the funding for Israel as it fought against Hamas. He said Netanyahu and Israel were fighting a “horrific war against the Palestinian people.”

Tonight’s forecast: 100% chance of bad decisions.

On Episode 6, Dr. Phil is here for a brutal round of “Who’s in the News?”, Glenn Beck returns to recommend a movie Ben barely survives, and we celebrate Father’s Day the only way we know how—by replacing every famous son with a Chinese revolutionary.

Plus: Diddy Watch goes full Brazzers, R. Kelly forgets prison isn’t a theme park, and Ben takes on the unholy alliance of Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue in a Ben Destroys for the ages.

It’s messier than Pride Month at Chik-fil-A— only on Ben After Dark.
