The U.S. has achieved a historic milestone with the successful launch of the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts on a lunar flyby—marking humanity's deepest space journey to date. Meanwhile, President Trump declares a 'complete regime change' in Iran following a sweeping military operation that has dismantled the country's nuclear infrastructure, asserting that the U.S. can end the war at any time and will not require a deal to do so. The president’s unprecedented presence at Supreme Court oral arguments—where he criticized birthright citizenship on Truth Social—sparks debate over executive overreach. As ICE and Border Patrol funding hangs on a pending reconciliation bill, O’Reilly warns that disbelief in invisible threats—like Iran’s nuclear ambitions—mirrors the 1930s denial of Nazi atrocities, arguing that moral clarity demands action, not skepticism. The episode closes with a fascinating look at the $1 billion-a-year vintage movie poster market, where rare prints of classics like *Metropolis* and *Casablanca* sell for over a million dollars, revealing a hidden cultural economy built on cinematic legacy.
The Artemis II mission successfully launched, sending astronauts on a record-breaking lunar flyby with plans to land on the moon by 2028.
President Trump claims a 'complete regime change' in Iran has been achieved, stating the U.S. can end the war at any time without a deal.
The president became the first sitting U.S. leader to attend Supreme Court oral arguments, later criticizing birthright citizenship on Truth Social.
ICE and Border Patrol funding is tied to a June 1st reconciliation bill, with Trump accusing Democrats of wanting to 'defund the police' and allow unchecked immigration.
O’Reilly draws a parallel between current skepticism about Iran’s nuclear threat and 1930s American denial of Nazi genocide, calling for moral clarity over political convenience.
