R.I.P. to all the people that have been playing games and playing small. It s time to get courageous and do the right thing. People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever shrinking share of what they have are foolish. This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted, we re being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated, and we re killing ourselves every day.

00:06:30.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:35.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:41.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:06:43.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:48.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:06:56.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:06:59.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:13.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:17.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:21.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:27.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:31.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:10:11.000I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
00:10:25.000For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
00:10:31.000We know that the whole creation has been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth, right up to the present time.
00:10:40.000Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
00:14:26.000I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.
00:14:36.000Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
00:14:42.000Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
00:14:50.000Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
00:15:04.000And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.
00:16:38.000We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.
00:16:43.000We have to want it more than they do because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
00:24:41.000Deep to my eyes, I'm gonna flip the face, and I'm crying Deep to my eyes, I'm better like the only one I wish that I'm just getting lost I wish that I'm just getting
00:24:59.000lost, I wish that I'm doing it I wish that I'm just getting lost, I wish that I'm just getting lost I wish that I'm just getting lost I wish that I'm just getting lost I'm a doctor but I'm running out of patience She told me how she's trying to get lost When I get home, I want you I want you Hello, hello, hello, hello.
00:28:38.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and blares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:28:53.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:29:03.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groiber Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Shield Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and of course defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:29:33.000We can't be held hostage by this country forever.
00:33:02.000If we don't have freedom on the internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind-raped every day forever.
00:33:18.000Think about anything you've ever said or done in the vicinity of your phone's camera or microphone, everything you've ever put into your phone, and even things that are not necessarily so scandalous, but even things like your favorite restaurants, your geo-location, because your phone also has a GPS.
00:33:40.000They have access to your bank account.
00:33:42.000AI will literally know everything about you.
00:33:46.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you're asleep.
00:33:56.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
00:34:00.000They know how many calories you consume.
00:34:02.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
00:34:05.000You have a computer in your refrigerator, computer in your car, computer in your home security system, computer in your everything, computer in your clothes, your watch, your glasses, your VR headset, your alarm clock.
00:34:17.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
00:34:19.000It's like total like rape of everybody by the system forever.
00:34:26.000My life is like a first person video game, you know?
00:35:35.000These material appetites will never be satisfied.
00:35:40.000And even if they are, it'll never be an adequate substitute for communion with our Holy Father, with somebody, with the author of the world.
00:35:49.000Every mother and father understands the love for a child.
00:46:13.000I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.
00:46:23.000Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
00:46:30.000Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
00:46:37.000Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
00:46:52.000And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.
00:47:00.000We can't be held hostage by this country forever.
00:50:29.000We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.
00:50:34.000We have to want it more than they do because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
00:50:50.000The White Supremacist slash Holocaust denier named Nick Fuentes.
00:59:05.000And that he believes in conspiracies and that he believes that the Jews are this sinister, secretly organized force trying to affect American politics.
00:59:14.000And those aren't discussions I think normal people, sober people should be having.
00:59:20.000Anyway, like, who is this kid exactly?
00:59:22.000And maybe it's just an accident that the guy goes after, exclusively goes after people who are in the same, roughly the same.
00:59:32.000And then he gets up there and he's like, you know, making Holocaust jokes.
00:59:35.000When attacked, he can always fall back on the line.
00:59:38.000Well, the, you know, the tiny cabal that controls American politics doesn't like me because I speak truth to power.
00:59:43.000This is actually, incidentally, almost verbatim, what he said the other day, that I offend the plutocracy, that I'm a wanted man by the inside the beltway people, and in every sense, cast himself as a victim who is sort of a Karen Silkwood of politics, someone who's so truthful that he's being hunted down by the conspiracy that runs Washington.
01:05:11.000This child, this weird little gay kid in his basement in Chicago, young white men who've been totally cut out of our economy, I mean, they really are the victims and they're desperate and no one speaks for them.
01:05:21.000So they go to Fuentes because he's like incredibly articulate and they think he's our leader.
01:05:25.000But in one of the saddest ironies of all, like he's acting against your interests, actually.
01:05:33.000But then when it comes to me, I'm one of the real disaffected white people.
01:05:41.000He says, Nick Fuentes is leading all of the disaffected young white men.
01:05:45.000I am a disaffected white, young white man.
01:05:48.000I was a precocious, intelligent, young white college student who went to Boston University, who was pro-Trump and red-pilled by Trump and animated by Trump's message of America first.
01:06:00.000And I asked questions about Israel and I was punished for it.
01:06:04.000I did it years before Tucker Carlson started talking about Israel last year.
01:06:09.000And I sacrificed and I was targeted by the ADL, by the SPLC, by the federal government, by the conservative movement that both Candace and Tucker were a part of.
01:07:19.000What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake.
01:07:59.000So much of it, it cannot be contained.
01:08:05.000An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
01:09:21.000*music* The Canary Mission is an Israeli-funded blacklist, which since July 2025 has been confirmed to be used by the Trump administration to target
01:09:39.000students, professors, and professionals who oppose Israel and reside in the United States.
01:09:44.000This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
01:09:51.000In their initiative, titled Project Esther, they state that students participating in pro-Palestinian protests and activism are supporting Hamas, a group that the United States designates as a foreign terrorist organization.
01:10:03.000Therefore, pro-Palestinian students are considered to be supporting terrorism and are subject to the revocation of visas, frozen bank accounts, asset seizures, and the denial of basic constitutional rights.
01:10:15.000In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
01:10:28.000Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
01:10:37.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
01:10:51.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence.
01:11:04.000As Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States.
01:11:08.000And anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy.
01:11:13.000I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
01:11:17.000So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
01:11:21.000Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
01:11:28.000And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
01:11:31.000As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
01:11:35.000And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
01:11:39.000As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and they're the greatest country ever, and I will never be okay with that.
01:12:37.000This is not a timeline going back to 1948.
01:12:40.000What had just happened before the 2016 election?
01:12:43.000Barack Obama created the joint comprehensive plan of action, the JCPOA, or the Iranian nuclear deal.
01:12:52.000And Barack Obama brought together China, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the European Union to enforce a nuclear deal that restricts Iran's enrichment of uranium.
01:13:06.000The early talks were conducted in secret, and the Israelis were furious, furious about this.
01:13:14.000Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
01:13:25.000This is the background of Trump's first election.
01:14:48.000They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
01:15:02.000This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
01:15:15.000Just like in Iraq, which went from 1990 until today, just like Libya, which went from 2011 to today, Syria, which went from 2011 to today, and Iran, which went from 2018 until today.
01:16:07.000Ha ha ha The world's famous of you and I rule my own Watch your wrist twindle to a simple method Tell me what does more meaning than your own strength Let the sky fall I feel like I'm ready I need it as that is Don't move my arms Open my hands You will be cut down the edge right edge The way you are cut down my pride Together I let the sky fall When they come back If the
01:16:36.000world hates you Keep in mind that it hated me first If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
01:16:47.000As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
01:25:07.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:25:12.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:25:18.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
01:25:21.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:25:25.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:25:33.000People have got to start to get courageous.
01:25:36.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
01:25:51.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
01:25:54.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
01:25:58.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
01:26:04.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
01:26:08.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
01:28:49.000I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
01:29:02.000For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
01:29:08.000We know that the whole creation has been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth, right up to the present time.
01:29:17.000Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
01:33:03.000I am sending you out like shield among wolves.
01:33:13.000Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
01:33:20.000Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
01:33:27.000Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
01:33:42.000And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.
01:34:36.000And we want people to confirm really more than anything.
01:34:40.000But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't even believe the mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.
01:34:55.000The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.
01:34:59.000The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.
01:35:08.000The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian.
01:35:14.000The only way we have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.
01:35:20.000We have to want it more than they do because there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny.
01:37:24.000that America was different because we are different.
01:37:27.000Palantir is an AI data analytics company who They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
01:37:55.000If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
01:38:13.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithm, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
01:48:23.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
01:48:38.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
01:48:48.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groica Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Shield Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and of course defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
01:49:18.000We can't be held hostage by this country forever.
01:52:47.000If we don't have freedom on the internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind raped every day forever.
01:53:03.000Think about anything you've ever said or done in the vicinity of your phone's camera or microphone, everything you've ever put into your phone, and even things that are not necessarily so scandalous, but even things like your favorite restaurants, your geolocation, because your phone also has a GPS.
01:53:25.000They have access to your bank account.
01:53:27.000AI will literally know everything about you.
01:53:31.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you asleep.
01:53:41.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
01:53:45.000They know how many calories you consume.
01:53:47.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
01:53:50.000You have a computer in your refrigerator, computer in your car, computer in your home security system, computer in your everything, computer in your clothes, your watch, your glasses, your VR headset, your alarm clock.
01:54:02.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
01:54:04.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our Credo.
01:57:13.000And if you recall, although there was all this hype and big international trips and meetings and fanfare, broad agreement apparently between Muslim Arab countries, Israel, the United States, in spite of all this, there is very little that was actually agreed upon by the two parties, almost nothing actually.
01:57:36.000And although there's 20 points, they're only implementing a couple of them.
01:57:40.000And even the implementation of these two or three points, there's no details.
01:57:47.000And so I said from the very beginning, if the deal is short on details, if there's not an agreement in principle on any of the longer term or major points, it's not going to last very long.
01:57:58.000And it's going to be more like a temporary ceasefire than anything like a comprehensive peace or peace agreement.
01:59:48.000There was supposed to be a high-level meeting this week, first between the Secretary of State Mark Arubio and Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
01:59:58.000And that was supposed to be the prelude to another summit between Trump and Putin in Budapest, in Hungary.
02:00:06.000And that was supposed to happen this week.
02:00:10.000So there was no meeting between the foreign ministers.
02:00:13.000There was no meeting between the heads of state.
02:00:16.000And actually, the opposite has happened.
02:00:19.000Trump has put sanctions on Russia's energy companies, their oil companies.
02:00:24.000And apparently, although it's not 100% confirmed, according to the Financial Times, Trump has reauthorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles and strike deep inside Russian territory.
02:00:38.000So Ukraine is now bombing Russia again.
02:00:41.000There are more sanctions against Russia, even than there were under the Biden administration, and the meeting is off.
02:00:49.000So it looks like the war is going to keep going for the foreseeable future.
02:01:02.000I have to say, this administration, it's not going well.
02:01:08.000I don't know how people are coping with this.
02:01:11.000And it seems a little trite to say it.
02:01:14.000Here we are, eight months in, and I've been saying it since day one.
02:01:18.000But when are we actually getting anything that was promised here?
02:01:22.000Across the board, and it looks like not only are the staples, the core promises, not being delivered on, like the war in Ukraine is going on.
02:01:53.000McGaza ceasefire gave Trump a little bump in the polls, and I think there's a lot of optimism about it, but very risky, very shaky ground there.
02:02:03.000And then there's a third war that we didn't even anticipate that's about to pop off, regime change in South America.
02:03:33.000I'm basically like doing a show in the group chat because I leave these like 30-minute voice notes and I'm just talking about Tim Poole, Tucker Carlson.
02:03:44.000I'm talking about all the inside stuff.
02:03:53.000If you are poor, you can subscribe for $15 a month and get access to the entire archive of the show, every episode I've ever done, going all the way back to 2017.
02:08:08.000I think that who your parents are tells you a lot about who you are.
02:08:13.000And I think that certainly if you are somebody that is constantly critiquing the deep state and the wars and all these things, and you yourself applied for the CIA, I think that maybe becomes very relevant if you've got a background with that.
02:08:29.000If you come from that, I think that might be relevant.
02:08:33.000And so I saw these clips from the debate or the QA session, I guess you could call it, this turning point event.
02:08:40.000And I said, why is he so defensive about those things?
02:08:45.000I think those are fair questions, but I saw the reaction.
02:08:47.000And the first guy says, your dad's in the CIA.
02:09:14.000One of my issues with Tucker, although I think both of us are generally pushing in a similar direction, we're both very opposed to war with Iran.
02:09:24.000I think we're both critical of the Trump administration.
02:09:27.000We probably agree on maybe 90% of things.
02:09:31.000But I think a valid critique is if you're going to engage in a structural critique of power.
02:09:41.000And by that, you could say a populist critique of the economic system, a political critique of the permanent bureaucratic state.
02:09:51.000If you're going to engage in that kind of structural critique of power, it just has to be acknowledged that you're from that world.
02:10:01.000In other words, if you're going to rail about the 1%, it's kind of relevant that you are the 1%.
02:10:07.000If you're going to rail against the deep state, it's kind of relevant that you are from the deep state.
02:10:14.000And I don't know why he's so allergic to acknowledging that.
02:10:18.000And there's sort of something actually disturbing about how it seems that there is this facade, which is flip-flops, dog, checkered shirt, navy blazer.
02:10:31.000And okay, I mean, maybe that's authentic.
02:10:34.000But there's a sort of deliberate attempt to say, I'm folksy, I'm plain spoken.
02:11:43.000I don't think it's insane to say that there are rich people and there might even be people from the government that become defectors.
02:11:52.000I don't think that's outside the question.
02:11:55.000But I think people start to get skeptical and cynical about it when it seems like there's some defensiveness or there's a lack of complete transparency.
02:12:05.000Later in the event, he said, you know, I lived in DC my whole life.
02:13:55.000But anyway, I saw that clip and a little bit bizarre.
02:13:59.000Let me know what you, let me know what you think.
02:14:01.000Obviously, I'm biased and I'm biased because me and Tucker have had this feud, this kind of behind the scenes feud for a couple of years now.
02:15:13.000That's the one that everybody wants to hear about.
02:15:17.000And I think that's kind of the biggest news in the world right now.
02:15:20.000We've entered into a new phase of this Middle Eastern conflict where it seems, at least for now, that things are winding down and de-escalating.
02:15:31.000As you know, a couple of weeks ago, Trump announced with the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, a ceasefire to the war.
02:15:42.000It was endorsed by most of the Muslim and Arab countries in the world.
02:15:47.000It was agreed upon by both Israel and Hamas.
02:15:51.000And as I said before, the 20-point plan is light on details, which is a major flaw.
02:15:58.000It does not have a concrete timeline or any timeline.
02:16:02.000It does not have any specificity about a Palestinian state, which is the fundamental question which is at stake in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
02:16:12.000It does not have any specifics or details about the day after in Gaza.
02:17:13.000It was close to happening in May of 2024.
02:17:17.000So at least three, but maybe up to four times, there have been agreements about prisoner swaps, short-term truces, partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, but it never goes beyond that.
02:17:31.000And it never goes beyond that because there is no agreement in principle or in detail or in writing on any of the actual root causes of the conflict or the actual future of the Palestinian territories.
02:17:47.000And by that, I mean, Israel wants Hamas to be eradicated and to have no part in the future of Gaza's governance.
02:17:55.000What's more, Israel does not want Arabs or the Palestinian Authority or Hamas or really anybody.
02:18:04.000They really don't want anybody to have any role in administering the Gaza Strip.
02:18:10.000And so what's implied by that is that Israel wants to control the Gaza Strip.
02:18:15.000And that looks and sounds like annexation.
02:18:18.000If Israel is governing Gaza, if they control security, if they're administering the reconstruction, then that looks an awful lot like they're just effectively seizing the territory.
02:18:31.000On the other side, Hamas wants to continue existing.
02:18:35.000Hamas does not want to give up their weapons and disarm.
02:18:39.000They do not want to leave the territory.
02:18:41.000And they want to remain in some form, maybe by a different name, but they want to remain in some form part of Gaza.
02:18:47.000And in the future, they want an independent, autonomous, sovereign Palestinian state.
02:18:53.000So there is a fundamental disagreement on that.
02:19:24.000They stop fighting for a little while.
02:19:27.000And that is the state of the play right now.
02:19:29.000So everybody is watching and waiting to see if there will be some development of the deal.
02:19:38.000If, and specifically what they're looking for is if Israel will honor the deal and if Hamas will disarm.
02:19:47.000They're looking to see if Israel will actually stop the fighting, if they've actually given up their ambitions in Gaza.
02:19:53.000They don't want to take the territory.
02:19:55.000They will respect the technocratic council that they're trying to build in Gaza.
02:20:00.000And they're waiting to see if Hamas will give up their weapons, lay down their arms, and leave the strip.
02:20:06.000And obviously, both are unwilling to do this.
02:20:09.000Hamas doesn't want to give up their guns because they think that if they do, Israel will reinvade.
02:20:15.000And Israel doesn't want to give up its ambitions because if they fully withdraw and if they don't want to control the strip, then Hamas will regroup or some other Palestinian faction will regroup and they will once again pose a threat to Israel.
02:20:28.000So people are watching to make sure that people on both sides abide by the current terms of the ceasefire, the points that they've agreed upon, and also they're looking to see if there's any actual buy-in and development that the deal will proceed beyond these few points into the rest of the deal, the rest of those points.
02:21:04.000The 20 points are vague, intentionally vague.
02:21:08.000The 20 points, even if they were agreed upon, there needs to be more negotiation on details and implementation and you're probably going to need 20 more points.
02:21:17.000Like the deal by itself is inadequate.
02:21:20.000They've only agreed to a few and Israel won't even abide by the few points they've agreed on.
02:21:26.000You would think after the agreement, okay, Israel's going to stop bombing them, right?
02:21:31.000Israel's going to stop bombing them and humanitarian aid is going to pour in and the people of Gaza will stop starving and they'll get some relief.
02:21:39.000Neither of these things have happened.
02:21:42.000It's been two weeks and Israel has violated the ceasefire 80 times, 80 times in two weeks.
02:22:34.000It says, quote, two IDF soldiers were killed in clashes in the Rafah area of southern Gaza on Sunday, according to Israel's foreign ministry.
02:22:43.000The IDF claimed that terrorists fired an anti-tank missile as well as gunfire towards Israeli troops, accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire.
02:22:52.000The Israeli military said it had carried out a series of strikes in response to the violations.
02:22:58.000In response to that, the Hamas government media office accused Israel of committing 21 violations on Sunday, bringing the total of alleged violations by Israel to 80 since the ceasefire began.
02:23:12.000Hamas alleged on Sunday that 97 Palestinians had been killed and over 230 had been injured as a result of the violations.
02:23:30.000Israel on Thursday accused Hamas of not complying with the ceasefire terms to return all the hostages from Gaza.
02:23:37.000Well, all of the live hostages have been returned.
02:23:40.000Israel is awaiting the handover of the bodies of the deceased hostages.
02:23:45.000Hamas has reported difficulty in locating the remaining bodies with the group citing that it needs special equipment to retrieve those buried under the rubble, which sounds valid.
02:24:04.000Israel's waiting for Hamas to give up the bodies of the dead hostages, which are under the rubble of the buildings that Israel has destroyed.
02:24:13.000And for this reason, Israel is justifying more attacks.
02:24:16.000Are saying, well, you haven't given over all the bodies, so we get to keep attacking and stop humanitarian aid.
02:24:24.000Now, what's interesting about the claims of violations is that there's some details that are disputed here.
02:24:32.000There was a lot of coverage on Sunday that Hamas launched this coordinated attack on the IDF, that the IDF was being ambushed in a few different locations in Gaza.
02:24:43.000And in particular, there was this claim made that Hamas fired an anti-tank missile at the IDF and killed some of the soldiers.
02:24:50.000But there are alternative sources that say that actually Israel just stepped on unexploded ordinance.
02:24:57.000They stepped on a mine or some other unexploded ordinance that they had themselves dropped.
02:25:03.000And that is the source of the casualties.
02:25:06.000So in other words, Hamas did not renew the offensive on Israel in violation of the deal.
02:26:03.000And this is the problem when you make a deal with the Israelis.
02:26:08.000What the Israelis actually are after, if you pay attention not just to what's happening in Gaza, but all of these theaters, all the different fronts in the war, the Israelis are very clear about what they want.
02:26:23.000And what they want is complete freedom of action.
02:26:28.000What they want is to be able to violate a country's airspace, drop bombs on that country wherever, whenever they see fit, whoever they want to target, and they want to be free from retaliation.
02:26:43.000If you follow the conflict in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, in Iran, in the West Bank, it is very clear that that is what they are after.
02:26:55.000When they operate in Lebanon, they want, and they call this a doctrine, they call this a political or military reality.
02:27:04.000They want to be able to fly their jets over Beirut or over Dahia, the suburbs of Beirut where Hezbollah operates.
02:27:11.000They want to fly in southern Lebanon, and they want to bomb however many times and wherever and whenever and whoever they want.
02:28:47.000Relief is coming in and the war has ended.
02:28:50.000But that is in no way, shape, or form what Israel actually wants.
02:28:54.000What Israel actually wants is to maintain something like a low level of conflict forever.
02:29:02.000They want to maintain a state of conflict.
02:29:06.000And this has been true throughout the history of Israel and its conflict with all of its neighbors.
02:29:12.000They're not at war, but they're also not at peace.
02:29:15.000They're not in full-fledged war, which means they have military objectives that are limited and strategic and time-sensitive, but they're also not at peace where there's zero projectiles or zero hostilities.
02:29:32.000They like to do this, whether it's with Egypt or Syria or Iran or any of these non-state actors.
02:29:39.000They like to maintain a low level of conflict where there's not a complete peace, not a total war.
02:29:47.000It is to maintain their freedom of action so that they can constantly go in and suppress the power of their neighbors or these other groups.
02:30:12.000If there's an actual peace, if there's an actual peace agreement, an end to hostilities, then that means that Palestine can start to rearm.
02:30:24.000They're going to expect that Israel leaves completely and they have territorial integrity.
02:30:29.000And that means no occupying army, no violations of their airspace, no raids, no special forces.
02:30:36.000There's not a threat of reservists being called up and sent in on a moment's notice.
02:30:43.000And if that happens, that means that they can rebuild their infrastructure.
02:30:46.000It means that they could petition the United Nations for statehood.
02:30:50.000It means that they might organize with the Palestinian Authority or Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Iran for that matter, and they could start to build up a sovereign government.
02:31:00.000And then they could build a security force.
02:31:05.000And that's the beginning of sovereignty.
02:31:08.000And that means if they have all these things, that Israel can't really do as much to them.
02:31:14.000Because if Palestine has territorial integrity and a security force and they're rearmed and they're at the UN, then there's something like a tripwire.
02:31:25.000And if Israel violates their airspace or violates their territory, then there's going to be political condemnation.
02:31:32.000Then there's going to be economic consequences.
02:31:35.000Then maybe Palestine will be able to defend itself.
02:31:39.000And that's not what Israel wants because that would imply that Israel has to coexist with its neighbors and Israeli influence will end where Palestinian sovereignty begins.
02:31:52.000And that's effectively the same problem for Israel in all of these different fronts.
02:31:58.000In Lebanon, in Syria, in Iran, in Yemen.
02:32:00.000Israel does not want peace because the second that a permanent peace takes shape, then that means that Israel can't do whatever it wants.
02:32:09.000They can't take territory in Syria and make claims that they're defending the Druze.
02:32:14.000They can't do airstrikes in Beirut and claim that they're killing Hezbollah.
02:32:19.000They can't, at a moment's notice, deploy bulldozers in Gaza City and start destroying buildings again.
02:32:25.000And on and on and on with all these other countries.
02:32:28.000So Israel, it's actually their foreign policy that they want to be in a permanent state of war.
02:32:35.000And so much has been said about truces and ceasefires and peace agreements.
02:32:40.000These are words that matter in the UN.
02:32:42.000These are not words that matter on the ground.
02:32:46.000These are not words that matter to Israel.
02:32:48.000These are semantic games that are being played.
02:32:51.000A truce, a ceasefire, a peace, root causes.
02:32:57.000The reality is that Israel is in a ceaseless state of low-level conflict with all of them.
02:33:04.000Recognizes no borders, recognizes no sovereign airspace or sovereignty of a particular government because their long-term objective is to keep all of these countries unstable, divided, off balance, because Israel's long-term plan is to expand as much as possible.
02:33:26.000They have their sights set on annexing Gaza and the West Bank.
02:33:30.000They have their sights set on annexing parts of Jordan, parts of Lebanon, parts of Syria, parts of Egypt.
02:33:37.000They have their sights set on regime change in Yemen, in Iran, in Iraq, in all these countries.
02:33:44.000They want to keep them permanently divided, off balance, militarily weak, politically, ineffectual, because they have plans to someday, one day, on a timeline, confront and destroy in detail, systematically, all of these countries.
02:34:36.000Their real agenda, like I said, is to constantly wage conflict against all of them so that all of these countries are in a state of stagnation.
02:35:28.000And this is why, by the way, Israel's interests are completely hostile to America's.
02:35:36.000America thinks that if Israel could just behave itself, if we could just get Netanyahu to stop, then Israel's going to make agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the Emirates, and they're going to become a normal country like Germany.
02:35:51.000And they're not going to invade anybody, not going to fight anybody.
02:35:54.000They're just going to kind of keep the peace.
02:35:56.000And that's going to let us offload the security responsibilities to them and this broader alliance.
02:36:10.000They're holding down the fort with the other countries.
02:36:13.000And if we could just constrain them with deals and investment and things like that, then they'll play nice and they're going to enhance stability in the region.
02:36:26.000But that is completely blind to the reality of Zionism, which is an expansionist ideology.
02:36:36.000The Soviets were not content to build their socialist paradise in one country and leave everybody alone and say, hey, you know, we're doing our thing.
02:37:54.000Israel's control over our political system.
02:37:57.000If any American government tried to impose restrictions, tried to circumscribe Israel's freedom of action in the Middle East, there would be hell to pay from the Zionist lobby in America.
02:38:17.000So if you're Obama and you impose an Iranian nuclear deal on Israel, which is how they see it, they're going to be coming after Obama from Fox News.
02:38:26.000And they're going to be coming at Obama because of Citizens United.
02:38:30.000Sheldon Adelson will pour $100 million to the coffers of the Republicans.
02:38:36.000The Republican Jewish Coalition, the Jewish lobby on the Democrat side will come out in America against those types of policies.
02:38:44.000It's extraordinarily difficult to make that play with the powerful Jewish lobby domestically in America.
02:38:53.000Two is that Israel has a nuclear arsenal.
02:38:56.000So if the United States tells Israel, if you don't do what we say, we're cutting you off, Israel will literally take out the nuclear bombs for everybody to see.
02:39:09.000They will, and when I say that, I mean it in the most literal way possible.
02:39:13.000They will open up their nuclear facilities and they will display for all the satellites, all the eyes of the world to see, their nuclear-capable missiles.
02:39:27.000And the implication will be: if you don't do it our way, we'll just nuke them.
02:39:32.000If you don't do it our way, we'll nuke our adversaries and we may nuke you too.
02:39:43.000And I'm telling you, people say, Why was I the only one that was right about war with Iran?
02:39:50.000Why was I the only one that was right about Israel's ambitions in the Gaza war outside of Gaza?
02:39:56.000It's because I'm the only one that understands, or maybe the only one that's honest, about what Israel's real foreign policy is.
02:40:05.000Their real ambitions, the real raison d'être of Israel's government, which is greater Israel.
02:40:14.000Israel exists because they want to have something like a Davidic kingdom that is at the center of global relations.
02:40:24.000That sounds insane, but that is what they believe.
02:40:28.000Contrary to people, some that founded Israel, some not all, they do not just want to have a normal country that happens to be Jewish among the other nations with normal relations.
02:40:57.000A pariah state in the Middle East that is expansionist, that is aggressive, that is at war with all its neighbors, that does not respect international law, or more than that, does not respect American primacy that makes them hostile to our interests.
02:41:15.000They're a future strategic competitor.
02:41:18.000They're a national security threat to America.
02:41:22.000They're also effectively then a rogue state with nuclear weapons.
02:41:29.000And America is not, they're not ready to hear this.
02:41:32.000The leadership, I think, maybe does not want to confront that reality because it's the reality that we are effectively bound at the hip to something like a North Korea.
02:41:46.000They're this nuclear country, but they're worse because they control our political system.
02:41:51.000They want to invade all their neighbors.
02:41:55.000And maybe they're more willing to use nukes than North Korea.
02:41:57.000It's like, it's terrifying the level of blackmail they have over the entire planet.
02:42:05.000So anyway, maybe that's a rant that goes outside of the scope of the discussion about the ceasefire agreement.
02:42:13.000But it's important to understand this because if you understand this, you realize that you can get Netanyahu to make a phone call to Qatar because they say that that was the beginning of the peace process.
02:42:52.000And people are drawing lines on maps and they're drafting 20-point plans and they're creating subcommittees for subcommittees, technocratic councils, call it whatever you want.
02:43:03.000We all know how this ends, which is that on some timeline, Israel is going to restart all of these wars, all of them.
02:43:12.000There is no peace between Israel and Iran.
02:43:14.000There is no peace between Israel and Gaza.
02:43:17.000There might not be a full-fledged war, but there certainly isn't a peace.
02:43:21.000There is only this state of perpetual low-boil hostility that at will and in an orchestrated and systematic way, they will increase or decrease according to their tactical and strategic priorities.
02:43:44.000So now, in the midst of a potential collapse of the ceasefire, J.D. Vance and Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have gone to Israel to put some diplomatic pressure on them.
02:43:56.000They're there to lean on Netanyahu, make sure he doesn't break the deal.
02:44:02.000It says, quote, the administration of President Trump is growing worried that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu could jeopardize the Gaza ceasefire deal with Hamas.
02:44:12.000The New York Times, citing anonymous White House officials, said Vice President Vance's visit to Israel aims to put pressure on Netanyahu to abide by the ceasefire and, quote, add an extra symbolic layer to illustrate the administration's commitment to keeping the deal intact.
02:44:44.000Vance, Vance's visit to Israel aims to put pressure on Netanyahu to abide by the ceasefire and, quote, add a symbolic layer to illustrate the administration's commitment to keeping the deal intact.
02:44:57.000Symbolic layers to show how committed we are symbolically.
02:45:58.000That says, U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, already landed in Israel on Monday for talks with Netanyahu and other officials on the implementation of the deal.
02:46:10.000A senior U.S. official told the U.S. Daily that both Witkoff and Kushner believe the ceasefire deal is, quote, in danger of falling apart.
02:46:18.000The two envoy strategy in Israel is to try to keep Netanyahu from resuming an all-out assault against Hamas.
02:46:26.000Israel launched a series of deadly airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing at least 44 Palestinians after alleging that Hamas had attacked its troops in Rafah.
02:46:37.000The Palestinian group denied any involvement and reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire.
02:46:42.000Trump has already affirmed the Gaza ceasefire remains effective despite the Israeli strikes.
02:46:48.000So even though there's quite literally not a cessation of firing, even though no one has stopped firing, the ceasefire is still in place.
02:46:58.000Everybody's still shooting at each other, but I can assure you, we have a very real ceasefire.
02:47:05.000Now, here's how you understand what is happening: Israel is having a very difficult time on the ground in Gaza.
02:47:15.000There are two things that Israel excels at: they have a formidable and superior air force, and they have superior intelligence capabilities.
02:47:31.000They could do sorties against Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Gaza.
02:47:36.000And none of these countries have air defense systems or an air force that can combat, or they're not willing to, that can shoot down or fight Israel's air force.
02:47:47.000So Israel can drop a lot of ordinance.
02:49:58.000Like I said, they're not a very strong force.
02:50:00.000The fighting is logistically difficult.
02:50:04.000And so the way that you look at this conquest of Gaza is that Israel likes to starve the Palestinians, bomb the Palestinians, bomb their infrastructure to make them weak.
02:50:18.000Starving you, depriving you of supplies.
02:50:21.000We're going to literally make you exhausted and weak, physically weak.
02:50:26.000And then they go in for a short time with these ground offensives in the urban areas.
02:53:08.000This war is not just about annexing Gaza and the West Bank, which involves clearing these territories, pushing the people out, destroying the infrastructure, making it impossible for the people to stay.
02:53:21.000It's also about creating a pretext to confront Iran directly and all of its other proxies.
02:53:27.000And so something else that Israel has been doing is that when it winds down the fighting, which is extremely intensive in Gaza, it then tends to wind up the fighting everywhere else.
02:53:40.000So last year, when Israel slowed down its offensive in Gaza, they reorganized their forces north and they began an all-out assault on Lebanon.
02:53:51.000And they went after Hezbollah with the Pager attack.
02:53:55.000Then they bombed Hezbollah a thousand times.
02:54:00.000And once that had been finished, then they went right back into Gaza.
02:54:05.000So they're not just taking Gaza piece by piece, bit by bit.
02:54:10.000They're also defeating all their other adversaries in the region in a systematic way, in detail.
02:54:16.000And the big element of this that no one is talking about is the state of diplomacy with Iran.
02:54:23.000Let's not forget that earlier in the year, Israel launched an all-out war on Iran, which they dragged the United States into to neutralize Iran's nuclear program.
02:54:35.000After the war, there was an effort by the Europeans and the United States to restart diplomacy with Iran, to get them to give up their nuclear weapons, or at the minimum, to get inspectors back into Iran's nuclear facilities.
02:54:50.000It was only a couple of weeks ago that that was, that Iran made it clear that that was off the table.
02:54:56.000It was just today that Iran's foreign minister said, we're not going to negotiate over our nuclear program anymore.
02:55:05.000What do you think the strategic calculus is in Israel?
02:55:09.000It's been four months since Israel and the United States went to war with Iran.
02:55:14.000Since that war, Iran has expelled all of the inspectors.
02:55:19.000They've turned off all the cameras in Iran's nuclear facilities.
02:55:23.000They've made it clear that Israel and the United States did not destroy all of their centrifuges, did not destroy their stockpile of enriched uranium.
02:55:31.000As a matter of fact, Iran says we're not even aware of all of their nuclear facilities and the extent of their nuclear program.
02:55:39.000They're also saying the inspectors are not coming back and that they have closed the door to any future negotiations.
02:55:48.000So what is the strategic thinking of Israel?
02:55:51.000If all of that has taken place and it has been four months since Israel and the United States went to war with Iran, then the Israelis must assume that in this time period, Iran has been rearming themselves.
02:56:07.000They have continued enrichment of uranium.
02:56:12.000They have gotten more weapon systems from Russia, air defense systems, maybe air force.
02:56:20.000They're rooting out Mossad operatives that have infiltrated their country.
02:56:25.000And if Iran has gotten stronger, you would have to argue that Israel must assume that Iran is closer to a bomb now than they were four months ago in the immediate aftermath of the strikes, then it's not hard to see where Israel is going to take the fight next, which is that we're overdue for another Israel-Iran war.
02:56:46.000And could that be the reason why Israel has stalled the fighting in Gaza?
02:56:52.000Temporary ceasefire so they could prepare to challenge Iran all over again.
02:56:57.000To me, those are the reasons that we have the ceasefire.
02:57:00.000And so, in other words, it is in America's interest to denuclearize Iran without toppling the government.
02:57:10.000That is technically America's strategic objective.
02:57:14.000Maybe that's not my idea of what our foreign policy should be, but that is logically, and that is what our government has promulgated.
02:57:23.000Denuclearize Iran through diplomacy without toppling the government.
02:57:28.000And in Gaza, our objective is to end the war and make sure that Israel does not annex the territory while also making sure that Hamas does not come back into power.
02:57:44.000America's trying our best to make sure that Israel backs off of Iran and backs off of Gaza.
02:57:50.000And we're trying to get them to agree to hold themselves back.
02:57:55.000But if you understand Israel's strategic objectives, you understand that this is impossible.
02:58:01.000It's only a matter of time before one day they go back into Gaza, one day they go back into Iran.
02:58:07.000And the reason they have agreed tenuously to these peace agreements is because it's part of a broader strategic timeline, which is that eventually, once they've regrouped and reorganized, they're going to take the fight to another country.
02:58:21.000And then once they're done with that, they're going to go back into Gaza.
02:58:25.000And then the process will start all over again.
02:58:28.000They'll go back against Iran and either finish the job or they'll stop, get a ceasefire, and then go back into Gaza.
02:58:36.000And they'll either finish the job there or they'll get another ceasefire, take the fight somewhere else, regroup.
02:58:43.000This has been the cycle for two years.
02:58:45.000In some ways, it's been the cycle for 70 years.
02:58:54.000It has not been two weeks since the deal came through, and Trump had this big ceremony with all the world leaders talking about a Nobel Prize, his triumph, front page of Time magazine on the cover, and the deal is already falling apart.
02:59:11.000It's just been two weeks, and the deal is already at risk of collapsing.
02:59:15.000They're sending over a high power delegation to oversee the implementation because everybody knows it's not going to hold.
02:59:25.000And what an embarrassment that'll be for this administration.
02:59:28.000And when the ceasefire collapses, I hope that proves once and for all for people that only read the headlines, who's really in control of this relationship here.
02:59:39.000If Trump is begging our own ally that we pay, please come to the table and make a deal.
02:59:44.000And they continually make an ass out of him by leading him on, signing on to deals they never intend to follow through with, it will be obvious that we have no control over this country.
03:01:31.000So like I said, last week, Trump said that there would be a meeting between our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, our top diplomat, and their foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
03:01:44.000Rubio and Lavrov were supposed to meet this week.
03:01:47.000And then on the heels of that meeting, Trump was supposed to meet Putin again, another summit in Budapest to negotiate the end to the war in Ukraine.
03:01:57.000And it looked like Trump was leaning back towards favoring Putin.
03:02:04.000And in that meeting, Trump declined to give Zelensky Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a much greater range than all the other weapon systems that Ukraine has and might allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia's heartland, deep into their core territory.
03:02:22.000So Trump shut that down and Trump announced this big meeting.
03:02:29.000And if you've been following the negotiations, this will mean something to you.
03:02:34.000The Russian government intimated to the United States that they might be willing to make concessions in Kherson and Zaporizhia, which are the other two oblasts that Russia is in in southern Ukraine.
03:02:46.000They might give up some of that territory.
03:02:49.000And in exchange, they would take all of Donetsk from Ukraine.
03:02:55.000And it looks like they're coming down from some of their positions because earlier they said they want all four of these territories.
03:03:02.000They want Kherson, Zaporizhia, Luhansk, and Donetsk.
03:03:06.000They want, and they only fully control Luhansk.
03:03:09.000They want full control of the remaining three, and they want everyone to recognize their claim over those four territories.
03:03:18.000And that, as of August, when Trump and Putin had their summit in Alaska, that was Russia's big demand.
03:03:24.000They want all that territory, Ukraine to stay out of NATO, among other things.
03:03:32.000Well, last week, the Russian government suggested, well, maybe we'll give up a little bit of the territory that we've conquered in the South in exchange for more territory in the East, in the Donbass.
03:03:44.000And it was claimed that when Zelensky met with Trump last week, that Trump asked Zelensky if he'd be okay with that, if he might give up some of that territory in Donetsk.
03:03:56.000That's where it stood as of last week.
03:03:59.000So Trump was going into this week, a Rubio-Lavrov meeting, and then a summit in Budapest.
03:04:05.000And they were going to, they might, with the current contact line as the starting point for negotiations, they might have an imminent ceasefire.
03:04:15.000Well, now, all of a sudden, all of that is off.
03:04:19.000And so the big developments this week are that the Rubio-Lavrov meeting has been postponed a week.
03:04:33.000And the biggest developments are these: that Trump has authorized Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory, and that Trump is now putting sanctions on Russia's energy companies.
03:04:45.000And this is a story from the New York Times.
03:04:47.000It says, quote, President Trump announced on Wednesday that he was imposing significant new sanctions on Russia for the first time in a second term, underscoring a new degree of frustration with President Putin after a plan for the two leaders to meet in Budapest fell apart.
03:05:03.000The sanctions targeted Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil.
03:05:08.000Mr. Trump's irritation with the Russian leader was evident on Wednesday.
03:05:12.000He said, quote, every time I speak with Vladimir, I have good conversations and then they don't go anywhere.
03:05:18.000He explained his decision to scrap the Budapest summit that had been planned for some time in the coming weeks.
03:05:24.000He said, it just didn't feel right to me.
03:05:26.000It didn't feel like we were going to get to the place we have to get.
03:05:31.000The sanctions are among the most significant measures the United States has taken against the Russian energy sector since the beginning of the war.
03:05:38.000The Biden administration avoided levying sanctions against those companies to allow for legal purchase of Russian oil by American allies.
03:05:47.000Targeting the companies could make a meaningful dent in Russia's oil revenues.
03:05:54.000It says Ukraine's military said on Tuesday that it used British-provided storm shadow missiles to strike a chemical plant inside Russia's Bryansk Oblast, signaling that the United States is again supporting Ukrainian missile strikes on Russian territory.
03:06:10.000A massive combined missile and airstrike was carried out, including with air-launched storm shadow missiles that penetrated Russia's air defense system, said the general staff of Ukraine's armed forces in a statement according to Reuters.
03:06:24.000Storm shadows are produced jointly by the UK and France and have a range of about 150 miles.
03:06:30.000Ukraine first began firing them into Russia last year, along with U.S.-provided ATACOM missiles, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away.
03:06:40.000In August, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration was not allowing Ukraine to fire those missiles into Russia, a policy that also applied to the storm shadows, since the Ukrainian military requires U.S. targeting data to fire either of the missile systems.
03:06:57.000Another report from the outlet this month said that President Trump reversed the policy and signed off on providing Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on Russian territory.
03:07:47.000And by the way, these are effectively American strikes on Russia.
03:07:52.000These are American-provided weapon systems.
03:07:55.000They require U.S. intelligence to launch them.
03:07:58.000In many cases, it is Americans that are operating the systems.
03:08:03.000And it's happening off the books, but make no mistake about it.
03:08:06.000You've got French, British, German, American officials inside Ukraine coordinating with Ukraine, training up their soldiers, demonstrating how to use the systems, providing the coordinates, providing the intelligence.
03:08:21.000This isn't effectively an American operation.
03:08:25.000So Ukraine is bombing Russia with American missiles.
03:08:28.000Americans are literally entering in the coordinates.
03:08:32.000And now the United States is sanctioning Russia's oil companies.
03:08:36.000And what that means is that eventually we're going to be enforcing these sanctions.
03:08:41.000So if there are Russian tankers that are providing the energy, we might be put in a situation like NATO was a few weeks ago, where we have to actually interdict these ships.
03:08:56.000Russia's operating a shadow fleet where they're bypassing the sanctions.
03:12:53.000That's why Russia is not agreeing to a temporary ceasefire, because they know that if there's a temporary ceasefire and fighting resumes, it's just going to be more difficult for Russia.
03:13:03.000And who knows, on a long enough timeline, maybe Ukraine pushes back.
03:13:37.000Even if they're able to rebuild their defensive fortifications and retrain their armed forces, they're worried that Russia, without a NATO commitment, is going to start the war all over again to take more territory.
03:17:09.000Now you want us to commit to fighting Russia.
03:17:13.000You won't spend 2% of your GDP on your own military.
03:17:17.000You want us to provide the continental defense while you have free health care and free education.
03:17:24.000Why don't you build a military and then you can have your own security guarantee for yourselves and for Ukraine?
03:17:30.000Because that's ultimately what it's about.
03:17:32.000The Europeans are alarmed by this because they know that if Ukraine falls, that makes them less secure.
03:17:39.000If Russia's breaking through in Ukraine, they probably won't invade the rest of Europe, but they could.
03:17:46.000And if they could, then you have to assume that they might.
03:17:49.000And so Europe is wholly unprepared to defend themselves against Russian drone warfare against any of it.
03:17:55.000They just don't have the personnel or the will or the money or the equipment or the productive capacity.
03:18:02.000And that's why they need the United States.
03:18:04.000That's why they're begging the United States, please put boots on the ground in harm's way in Ukraine to uphold any kind of peace agreement.
03:18:14.000At the end of the day, that is the diplomacy.
03:18:16.000It's a three or four-way diplomacy between Russia, the European Union and Ukraine and the United States.
03:18:26.000And as long as the United States is unwilling to commit to security guarantees, as long as Europe and Ukraine are unwilling to give up territory unless America gives security guarantees, and as long as those security guarantees go against Russia's ambitions in the war, then the war will go on.
03:19:20.000And so at the end of the day, the war will keep going on until one side is going to be exhausted, until it's clear that Russia has made a breakthrough and they can't be stopped in Ukraine.
03:19:32.000And at that point, they'll be able to impose a peace.
03:19:36.000Or on the other side, maybe Russia will find it very painful to continue the war and then they will have to back down from some of their maximalist demands.
03:19:44.000But that's where the war sits right now.
03:19:46.000Either way, when you look at it across the board, it's clear that Trump does not have the magic wand that he said that he did.
03:19:53.000And there's something interesting about that.
03:19:57.000Trump was elected on the premise that all these wars were the result of Biden and the Democrats and these neocon war mongers, and yet he finds himself in all of them.
03:20:22.000In many ways, World War III is inevitable unless you get an administration that is truly America first, that is actually willing to give up, actually, on some of the most, you could say, the biggest and broadest claims of American empire.
03:22:29.000But if we don't do something like that, there's going to be a collapse.
03:22:33.000And by that, I don't mean it's going to be like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, although it might be, but I'm saying that something has got to give here.
03:22:42.000We actually can't defend Taiwan, Ukraine, and Israel simultaneously while we're at war with Venezuela, while there's major civil instability in the cities, while our supply chains are in jeopardy.
03:22:56.000China's doing all the rare earths processing.
03:22:59.000Taiwan makes all the advanced semiconductors and chips.
03:23:11.000There's going to be no more power if we don't get our own house in order.
03:23:15.000And if all of our commitments to every country, if those commitments are tested, the whole thing is going to collapse like a house of cards.
03:23:22.000Because right now, our ability to defend these other countries is theoretical.
03:23:27.000Could we win a war with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela simultaneously?
03:24:26.000This does not feel like a good situation.
03:24:28.000And I would urge a lot of people that are delusional about this, people that are, you know, these faggots online that are talking about, don't chimp out.
03:24:36.000First of all, you're fucking 40 years old.
03:27:17.000The political violence, the wars that are unraveling all over the world, the economic problems, all these things are getting worse and not better.
03:27:48.000And what Trump should do, in my opinion, we need someone that's truly America first.
03:27:54.000We need someone to really take control and use this opportunity to go after the left, take control of the cities, deport the illegals, put this economy on a wartime footing, okay?
03:28:12.000Subsidies, tariffs, get people working in factories.
03:28:17.000This like chip ecosystem, the TSMC project in Arizona, redouble your efforts on that.
03:31:30.000So I don't know what else to say about it anymore other than he like he has to do better and he can't know peace.
03:31:38.000And I don't mean to attack him or anything like that, like violently or anything.
03:31:42.000But in his comment section, on his Twitter, at his events, it's like, yeah, we can't clap for you talking shit about immigrants until you talk about the fact that we have a hostile occupation.
03:32:11.000It's not just that they lower the quality of life.
03:32:14.000It's that they're taking away our sovereignty.
03:32:16.000If they have citizenship, if they have power in our country because they have land and presence and buying power and voting power, they're taking resources.
03:32:29.000They're depriving us of our sovereignty.
03:33:38.000Maybe you bring in these foreigners to do the most difficult jobs or to do highly specialized jobs that we legitimately have an opening for.
03:33:49.000You could create a labor policy that is America first, that involves temporary foreign labor.
03:33:57.000And let's be very clear about what that means.
03:34:00.000It means that they come in on a temporary basis that is strictly enforced.
03:34:05.000And they are here in a limited way, in a limited capacity to address a short-term need.
03:34:13.000And in the meantime, we actually train up their American replacements.
03:34:18.000So let's say, for example, there's a certain kind of software engineer that we need that we don't have.
03:34:27.000On a short-term basis, maybe we bring in some Indians and say, you're here for two years, and these are the strict criteria.
03:34:34.000And then the day the visa expires, you go home, like we're knocking on your door.
03:34:39.000And if you're there, we're rounding you up and kicking you out.
03:34:42.000And in the meantime, we're going to give scholarships to as many Americans to take your job when you go.
03:36:47.000And we basically need to create a new category that says, look, we can have Jews and Indians and immigrants in America, but we can never get it confused that they have the same latitude as the rest of the Americans.
03:37:05.000The second that a Jewish person starts to say, We need to go and fight and die for Israel.
03:37:11.000You forfeited your citizenship, actually.
03:37:14.000The second that you start to abuse your citizenship and take advantage of the system to buy out our political system so that we go to war for Israel, you've kind of forfeited your rights here.
03:37:25.000You forfeited your rights to participate in the political system.
03:37:28.000Maybe you forfeited your citizenship itself.
03:37:36.000But a new category needs to be created because it can't be like you either you're here and you have all the rights and you get it's a free for all.
03:37:44.000You do whatever you want or you're outside.
03:37:46.000There needs to be something in the middle.
03:37:58.000Well, I don't think you should be a suicide bomber, but this guy has never found an unsucked third world cock that he has not fallen in love with Burkina Faso.
03:39:28.000No, it's because people are, like, the idea that billionaires made whites and blacks hate each other, like, billionaires made men and women.
03:39:36.000Like, we're always set in opposition against each other because of nature.
03:39:40.000That's a natural, the natural state of human affairs is conflict.
03:41:40.000or they're in government or they're billionaires so that was awesome huge endorsement the final endorsement yeah that was great big shout out to him seems like an awesome guy real challenge Dude, the Chad Incel thing.
03:42:49.000When Trump got shot, the Red was calling for arrests for people on the left who called him a Nazi, claiming it's inciting violence without actual death threats.
03:42:54.000The same could easily be done to you and others with far-right critiques.
03:43:20.000It's like some cocksucking liberal from Vox says, so where exactly do we draw the line?
03:43:26.000So where exactly you get one of those, you get like an explainer video from now this, and you get some stupid fucking bitch who makes a video that says, so where exactly do we draw the line when calls to violence aren't exactly explicit?
03:43:41.000And it's like, hey, fuckface, it's really not that difficult.
03:43:45.000You would just have to think about it for about five seconds.
03:43:48.000And people think it's really deep and interesting and provocative.
03:43:51.000It's not, I promise you, it's not that complicated.
03:46:25.000Jay Dyer has been asking for another summary of the AF movement plan and what the outcomes are of that.
03:46:28.000He's also skeptical of whether or not it'll end up preventing any further corruption of the Vatican since there's evidence for that happening based on what is told.
03:46:32.000Would you be a nice guy and address those concerns?
03:48:52.000Been trying to tell my 60-plus-year-old long Republican mother about Israel's influence on our politics and how much control they have on our media, but she thinks I'm crazy.
03:48:57.000In your opinion, is there any chance I could end up actually getting through to her?
03:49:38.000Bibi Minyah, who sent $22, newer listener, first time super chatter.
03:49:41.000For HS slash college guys without family connections, consider a customer-facing job at a high-end country club.
03:49:45.000Doing this in college, I got contacts and built relationships with multimillionaires and industry leaders, one of which hired me into a hiring power sales role, WA Fortune 500.
03:51:16.000And I remember a really good friend of mine in high school, he got the big scholarship that the Caddy program gave out.
03:51:23.000If you were the best ball washer, if you were the best ball washer at the Caddy Shack, you got the Chick Evan scholarship and you got a full ride.
03:51:32.000And he won it because he was the biggest shit-eating brown-noser in the entire school.
03:51:38.000And he was for the Caddys also, for the country club.
03:51:42.000And I just thought that was the lowest, most pathetic thing.
03:52:00.000And I said, you know what, man, fuck this.
03:52:03.000I'm not carrying bags for rich people.
03:52:05.000I'll do any other job, but I'm not, I'm not going to do a job where I have to, I have to suck up to the rich as some poor ethnic for a tip.
03:52:45.000I just had a problem with that whole dynamic because you were, you would go out with these rich assholes from LaGrange and Western Springs and Hinsdale and all these affluent whitebread types.
03:53:00.000And you'd literally be carrying their bags.
03:53:32.000But yeah, I mean, you're probably right.
03:53:34.000If you kiss enough ass, you could probably get a good sales job or whatever.
03:53:37.000But I'm telling people to get into a highly selective school, get a law degree, get involved in politics, do something entrepreneurial, get involved in business.
03:53:48.000Yeah, I mean, you could be a caddy, I guess, if you can, if you could do that.
03:55:26.000On one hand, October 7th led to the Great Noticing, but it also went to waste strategically with the fall of Syria, neutralization of Hezbollah, and further isolation of Iran.
03:55:32.000October 8th was the day for all of them to double down and choke Tel Aviv.
03:56:16.000Regarding what you said about Carlson potentially being a class traitor, why do you think he wouldn't use it as a talking point to validate his other viewpoints instead of attacking people for mentioning it?
03:56:22.000You know, I think he does sometimes, but then when other people mention it, he gets weirdly defensive.
03:58:46.000I see a lot of people ask you how you feel about Protestants, but how do you feel about the Orthodox Church?
03:58:50.000From my understanding, they basically have the same beliefs as Catholics, but they don't recognize the authority of the Pope and believe the Holy Spirit only proceeds from the Father.
03:58:55.000Excuse my ignorance if that's a gross oversimplification.
04:00:00.000I don't really struggle with that at all.
04:00:02.000If anything, everything that I encounter makes me believe more.
04:00:07.000My encounters with evil, my encounters with atheism, my encounters with Protestants, Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, it makes me re-fortifies my belief in Catholicism.
04:01:25.000America should have built their caste system using Indians from India instead of blacks and mestizos because Indians are as white as Vietnamese or Chinese.
04:01:30.000Most half-Indians look southern European anyway, which means we Indo-Europeans are all on the same team.
04:04:57.000How could America first not be an enemy of the Catholic Church?
04:04:59.000I've seen you celebrate the subversion of Catholic South American countries on behalf of a Jewish, and to a lesser extent, a Protestant-controlled regime, as the U.S. Empire is.
04:05:05.000The Anglo has always persecuted the church in the former Spanish Empire dominion to weaken solidarity and facilitate exploitation.
04:05:54.000Hippo Bumpa sent $20 on how Tucker presents himself.
04:05:56.000In interviews, I've heard him say that growing up, it was deeply infused into him to not flaunt himself or betray any sense of extravagance.
04:06:43.000This country is way too small for the sheer number of migrants that are let in.
04:06:45.000If 10K come through, you'll be able to feel it almost anywhere.
04:06:47.000Just a few months ago, an 11-year-old girl was murdered by a migrant, and the very first thing her hashtag Open Borders Family did was disavow the far right.
04:07:05.000America, where cyberbullying gets you extradited and charged with a felony while soliciting a minor gets you sent back to your country as a free man.
04:07:11.000Well, in fairness, he was threatening to kill people.
04:07:14.000So I do actually think that should be illegal.
04:07:16.000If you're on Twitter and you're replying to multiple people, I'm going to kill you.
04:07:21.000Like, yeah, that is definitely a crime.
04:08:06.000Internet boy sent $20 here to support the show.
04:08:08.000If you sold stickers slash decals, I'm sure a lot of people would buy them and the cost-to-profit ratio would benefit you as well.
04:08:12.000I hate, if you use stickers, I think you're gay.
04:08:16.000What are you going to do with stickers?
04:08:18.000What are you going to do with stickers?
04:08:19.000You're going to put them on your laptop?
04:08:21.000You're going to put them on your laptop to express yourself?
04:08:24.000So this when you go to Starbucks or the study hall and you open up your laptop, everybody knows your favorite brands and your favorite band and your favorite internet show.
04:11:18.000And it's very uncomfortable because I'm sitting there and trying to focus.
04:11:23.000And I see out of the corner of my eyes, people are like geeking.
04:11:29.000And then I know when Mass is over, I got to get up and run out the door or else someone's going to confront me and it's going to be good or bad.
04:11:36.000So people always say, I never, I've never seen him in Mass.
04:14:27.000You believe the real money in California nowadays.
04:14:29.000People are saying, yes, prices went up.
04:14:31.000Yes, in general, prices have gone up because of inflation, which has a variety of different causes, but they didn't go up as much as the tariffs.
04:14:54.000Not that prices didn't go up at all, and prices are going up because of a variety of factors, but they did not go up in proportion to the increase of the tariffs.
04:15:04.000This guy is saying the consumers are paying the whole cost of the tariffs, despite the rhetoric or the argument that the burden would be shouldered by the suppliers or by the distributors.
