00:12:03.000Of the war in Gaza, and ever since the war broke out, as we've discussed, it hasn't just been confined to Gaza, but the war has raged across the entire region in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt even, and this is just another one of these theaters of the conflict that continues to intensify, continues to escalate, as long as the war in Gaza goes on.
00:12:32.000If Israel stopped their war in Gaza, all this stuff would just stop.
00:12:38.000It would ground to a halt immediately.
00:12:40.000Because that is, those are the demands of the Iranian side.
00:12:45.000The Houthi pirates in Yemen have said, we will stop if there's a ceasefire.
00:12:51.000And the other members of the Iranian Axis have said the same thing.
00:12:56.000But as long as this thing drags on, and as long as there's fighting,
00:13:01.000On six or seven or eight fronts, the risk and the chances of a full-blown escalation and a regional war will only go up.
00:13:12.000And ultimately there's going to be a stopping point if there is some kind of direct attack against Iran or against Israel or against the United States by one of the other constituent parties.
00:13:28.000So, we'll be talking all about that tonight.
00:13:30.000We'll talk about the specific attack that happened at a base in northeast Jordan, which is right along the border of both Syria and Iraq.
00:13:39.000A lot of people don't know, but we have thousands of troops in Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, and a number of military installations, some of them big, some of them small.
00:13:52.000This was an encampment called Tower 22.
00:13:56.000And they have defensive capabilities, but for some reason they just didn't work this time.
00:14:04.000And they gave a convoluted story, we'll get into that later, but they have this tale about how these suicide drones launched by the Iranians were able to get through the U.S.
00:14:19.000And they hit the sleeping quarters at the base and injured 36, killed 3.
00:14:24.000It's maybe the biggest escalation against the United States so far.
00:14:30.000The first service members to die died on Sunday off the coast of Somalia where they were attempting to intercept a supply ship that was going to Yemen.
00:14:48.000in Jordan so now there's going to be a major retaliation and all eyes are on the Biden administration to see how he will respond and what menu option he will select because supposedly he's been given a whole range of options all the way up to and including a direct strike within Iran a US strike on Iranian soil although like I said before it seems like maybe that's not on the table just yet
00:15:18.000So we'll talk about it all, get into the details, talk about the whole situation, but it's not getting any better.
00:15:26.000And I think that, like we've said from the beginning, this is what Israel wants.
00:16:22.000We'll also be talking tonight about the University of Pennsylvania, where there's been a little bit more action.
00:16:28.000One of the Jewish donors who led the boycott against UPenn, because it's a different Jewish... Isn't this amazing?
00:16:35.000When the war in Gaza broke out, all the Jewish donors from all the Ivy Leagues organized their own independent campaigns against their schools.
00:16:46.000So we've been talking about Bill Ackman, a Jewish billionaire, Harvard alumni, and he led the charge against Harvard because Harvard is anti-Semitic.
00:16:57.000Well, it's a different Jewish donor with Ronald Lauder, who is leading the charge against UPenn, and they were the first to go.
00:17:05.000University of Pennsylvania buckled in December when they fired their president, Elizabeth McGill.
00:17:12.000And now they have a new president and a new chairman of the board, but that's not good enough.
00:17:17.000The Jewish donor that led the charge to overthrow the president has now sent a letter to the new administration with recommendations.
00:17:26.000He's got a lot of recommendations about how the school can stop discriminating, and get this, they're also complaining about how there's not enough Jews at UPenn.
00:17:38.000So, remember, this was supposedly about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the Jews are becoming red-pilled, they're gonna defend the white people and, ostensibly, the Asian people that are discriminated under the Affirmative Action Regime, and they're gonna stand up for free speech, and they're... They got hip.
00:19:14.000Isn't that the narrative they went with?
00:19:19.000But fast forward all this time, I don't see any mass deportations from anywhere.
00:19:25.000And not only are the schools not getting based, they're getting more Jewish.
00:19:30.000Their leadership's more Jewish, and they want the student body to be more Jewish, and they want more restrictions on speech regarding Israel and the Jews.
00:19:43.000So it just gets better and better, and I would love a debate about that.
00:19:48.000I wonder if Elijah would be able to set that up.
00:19:50.000I would love to debate that with somebody.
00:19:55.000Not that Jew we talked to before who's just an imbecile, but
00:20:32.000And now the Jews realize those immigrants have turned on them?
00:20:36.000I think that's a far more digestible narrative than to say that the left has abandoned the Jews in Israel.
00:20:45.000And now the only way for the Jews to turn the temperature down of this progressivism is to sidle up next to the right, next to white people, and pretend
00:20:56.000That they're seeking refuge here, when in reality, they still hate us.
00:21:01.000And they're only here to make it work for them.
00:21:04.000But we'll talk a little bit more about that.
00:21:06.000I mean, if you've been watching my show, I've been... I have been talking about this for a long time.
00:21:12.000I've been shouting it from the rooftops, and I feel like people just aren't getting it.
00:21:15.000They just can't see it, because you know what it is?
00:21:17.000They're just... the Jews are shapeshifters.
00:21:21.000And that's why they hate it when you acknowledge who's Jewish and who isn't, because they undertake great pains to conceal their Jewishness.
00:21:32.000And they don't like it to be acknowledged, and they certainly don't like when you acknowledge collectively.
00:22:54.000Last week, somebody asked me in the Super Chats about Patriot Front, and I've given my take on this a million times, but they were in the news again lately because they did another one of their rallies, I think, in New York City.
00:23:10.000I said, look, I said now we don't even necessarily need to say that they are feds to say that the cost-benefit profile of their activism is wrong.
00:23:25.000The risk profile is wrong for people to engage with it because after Charlottesville, after January 6th, there's just
00:23:34.000There's just too much risk associated, and pay attention to what I'm saying here, too much risk associated with costumed membership groups doing public protests.
00:23:48.000I'm not saying protests, I'm not saying groups, I'm not saying white people organizing, I'm saying costumed organizations doing public protests.
00:24:03.000And basically no reward for this, if there even is one at all.
00:24:07.000And anyway, so I gave my criticism about this last week, and I saw the leader of Patriot Front, Thomas Rousseau, responded to it on this podcast, and I was watching it with an open mind.
00:24:57.000So I said, well what does this achieve?
00:24:59.000And I really was listening with an open mind for an answer to that question.
00:25:03.000Because I said, I hear him answer that question a lot, but I don't really ever get an answer.
00:25:09.000So I saw this interview, I honestly couldn't believe.
00:25:14.000what he said it was so bad and if you follow me on telegram make sure you do because i posted a few things about it today on my telegram channel i posted clips from his response and i'll give you a perfect example i said that the purpose of these groups as far as the government is concerned is it's like a dots list
00:25:38.000If there is a membership group somewhere, whether it's official or unofficial, whether the group keeps it or the government keeps it, it's just a list of names.
00:25:54.000That if you say, I'm a member of the Proud Boys, and there's a application process, and there's an initiation process, or maybe there's dues paying, or something like that,
00:26:07.000As long as you're participating on that level, I mean either the group has that list and someone can get it...
00:26:16.000And the Feds can get in no matter what because they could just look at your phone as evidenced by what happened after January 6th and what happened during the pandemic.
00:26:26.000You don't even need to write your names down on a check-in list because they could just find everybody that's in a specific geolocation.
00:26:35.000They can map out the networks on the social platforms.
00:26:38.000They can find everybody that's part of it.
00:26:43.000The digital transactions, whatever it is, or use a variety of those things.
00:26:48.000And his response to that, this is just one example, I said, so you shouldn't join these groups because it's just a docs list and that's just going to be a problem for you.
00:26:58.000And he says, well, that's not a problem because all our members are anonymous.
00:27:01.000I don't know anyone's name in the group.
00:27:04.000And I was, I heard that and I was like, oh my gosh.
00:27:10.000Because obviously, I thought it was obvious that they all knew each other's names.
00:28:05.000That's why anywhere you go, like a bar, or an airport, or at a traffic stop, or anywhere, they ask for an ID with your name and photo on it, because that's how you verify identity.
00:28:20.000So, if you're doing vetting, it's not anonymous.
00:28:31.000And if it's anonymous, then it is most likely thoroughly infiltrated.
00:28:36.000Because if it is anonymous and you can't thoroughly vet, then you have got to assume that the feds have assigned an informant or an agent or somebody to go in there, because that is what they do.
00:28:49.000And they do it in the darkest corners where you may not even be aware of some of these kinds of things that are going on on Telegram or on some certain Discord servers.
00:29:32.000I mean, he literally says, well, if you're wondering how we can vet people and they're anonymous, well, we do, and it works, and I can't tell you how.
00:29:43.000That's kind of a bit, that's not something that you can just sort of, oh that's no, that's kind of critical.
00:29:50.000And then he goes, if you want to know really bad, well you should just join.
00:29:55.000Oh yeah, well that sounds like, if I'm worried about joining a honeypot group that's infiltrated by feds or maintaining a docs list, in order to assuage my concerns, I should just, I should just reach out to them.
00:30:25.000I was like, wow, I couldn't believe it.
00:30:29.000Honestly, I couldn't believe it and there were like three other moments just like that.
00:30:33.000So I think I'd like to do a stream on Rumble, a Rumble exclusive sometime this week either tomorrow or maybe Thursday.
00:30:44.000and just react to it because I swear I really was listening to it with an open mind and this guy probably thinks I'm an asshole and honestly fair enough you know I'm sure Rousseau thinks I'm just the biggest jag off because I'm always trashing his groove and I'm always giving him a hard time so that's fine I mean I don't have a personal problem but the guy seems like a nice enough guy or whatever
00:31:09.000But I mean he's but you're wrong I mean listen buddy I mean you're either you're either in on it or you're just wrong and it is what it is and you need to stop he got to stop doing this he's got to stop going out there and doing these things and here's the thing if he were maintained if if Patriot Front was just a book club or they did fitness and it was totally low-key I would be their biggest cheerleader
00:31:38.000Honestly, if they were just getting all their members together, and they were doing book clubs, or they were doing boxing, or they were doing hiking, or community service, and politics, if they were doing that, I would be their cheerleader.
00:31:56.000I would be their number one spokesperson.
00:32:02.000And they say they do all that, but why do they got to go then to the cities and put on masks and
00:32:09.000Oh, Nick Fuentes hangs out with Kanye and Loomer and Milo but not Patriot Front?
00:32:27.000You know, if you've even got to answer such an imbecilic remark like that, honestly, you're part of the problem.
00:32:39.000That's why I was saying the other day, somebody told me, hey, you've got to take it easy on those guys because some of them like you, and if we want to win them over, I said, win them over.
00:33:51.000I'll do my thing, and what I think works, and you do your thing, and what you think works, and let's just see what happens.
00:33:58.000And suffice to say, the proof of the pudding was there, okay?
00:34:05.000After all this time, you can see where everybody wound up after all of that.
00:34:10.000and uh you know we're just vindicated by events and some people they're just going to be ignorant until the very end so you can't just keep explaining it over at a certain point it's not a debate anymore it's like okay some people don't want to let go of that well then uh they can have that so so anyway i think i'll do a stream on that either tomorrow or thursday because like i said i was watching it and i just thought this is so this is too good it's too delicious it's just checkmate
00:34:40.000Because I think I really put out a very reasonable critique, and then he comes back with the... I said, the problem with these groups is you could get charged with RICO, you could get charged with conspiracy.
00:34:51.000His rebuttal to that is, well, we're not doing anything wrong, and the cops, you know, they're not even annoyed by us.
00:36:31.000service members were killed in northeast Jordan at a base called Tower 22.
00:36:36.000And they were killed by a drone attack, which was launched from one of the Iranian-backed Shiite militias inside of Iraq, which calls themselves the Islamic Resistance.
00:36:50.000And the Islamic Resistance is made up of a number of Shiite militias, and they're actually part of the Popular Mobilization Forces, which are part of the Iraqi security framework, so they work effectively for the government there.
00:37:07.000And this is part of a broader conflict which has been simmering ever since the war in Gaza started.
00:37:14.000The United States has personnel and bases inside Syria, inside Iraq, inside Jordan.
00:37:22.000Although up until this point, as far as I know, no U.S.
00:37:26.000facilities had been targeted in Jordan before.
00:37:29.000But there have been, I believe, almost 170 attacks on American facilities or on American personnel inside Syria and Iraq by Iranian-backed militias since the beginning of the conflict.
00:37:45.000And that's been one or two theaters of the conflict.
00:38:21.000America has these bases, they have residual forces left over from the fight against ISIS that remain inside Iraq, about 2,500 troops.
00:38:30.000They say they have about 900 personnel inside of Syria from the fight against ISIS as well, although I think it's actually more.
00:38:40.000And this has been happening for a long time.
00:38:43.000The Iranians have been expanding their influence inside Iraq ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
00:38:50.000And they've done that because there's a big Shiite population inside Iraq.
00:38:55.000And after the deposition of Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi government was building a new security architecture.
00:39:03.000And they needed to bring the different parts of the country together
00:39:07.000They had to bring the Shiites into the fold, and that came with this Iranian influence.
00:39:14.000And that has been one of the big security challenges for Israel of the past 15 or 20 years, is the expansion of Iranian influence across the region, and specifically inside of Iraq.
00:39:27.000They did the same thing in Syria after the beginning of the Syrian Civil War in 2011.
00:39:34.000The leader of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, came very close to being removed, just like Saddam Hussein.
00:39:40.000At one point, it was the hottest conflict in the world.
00:39:48.000The Assad regime was backed by Iran and Russia, and the opposition forces were backed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, other Gulf countries, the United States, and Israel, with the intention of overthrowing Assad.
00:41:02.000The frequency of the attacks, the intensity of the attacks has been increasing, and the United States has been escalating in its retaliation.
00:41:13.000Whenever these militias attack the United States, the United States bombs the militias.
00:41:19.000And recently these attacks by the United States, the counterattacks, have been getting more deadly.
00:41:26.000Recently we killed, the United States killed, one of the top commanders of the Popular Mobilization Force in Iraq just a couple weeks ago.
00:41:35.000And this is a big deal because these Iranian-backed militias in Iraq are actually part of the government security service.
00:41:44.000So even though Iraq isn't thrilled with the influence of Iran,
00:41:50.000Iraq still relies upon the Shiite militias for security.
00:41:55.000And they are official personnel of the government.
00:41:57.000So the United States didn't just retaliate and kill some Iranian militant commander.
00:42:04.000They actually killed a part of the Iraqi security force.
00:42:09.000So that's why Iraq has now voted in their parliament for a withdrawal of U.S.
00:42:15.000And according to the White House, a negotiation on that has begun.
00:42:18.000We're effectively being expelled from the country
00:42:21.000Because they said it's a violation of their sovereignty that we're conducting these airstrikes against their security personnel in their own country.
00:43:03.000The story they gave is a little bit suspicious.
00:43:07.000They say that because of course these facilities have missile defense and so they should be able to, or rather aerial defense, they should be able to intercept incoming drones or other projectiles.
00:45:43.000And just like when we look at the terrorist attack in Kerman in Iran a few weeks ago, we have to consider the outcome of these various strikes.
00:45:55.000Whenever the United States is attacked, or Iran is attacked, or one of the constituent forces is attacked, there's a risk of escalation.
00:46:03.000And there's also this understanding that there's a currency to being attacked.
00:46:10.000If you are attacked, you are entitled, or some might even say obligated, to respond.
00:46:16.000And so, like when we saw the terrorist attack in Iran, the necessary response was to attack Israel.
00:46:25.000If the mausoleum of Qasem Soleimani is blown up and 60 people die or 80 people die on the anniversary of his death, Iran has to attack whoever's responsible in all signs of point towards Israel.
00:46:41.000And as we talked about with that strike, the beneficiary of an Iranian strike on Israel, an obligatory Iranian counter-attack on Israel, is that Israel would be entitled to reciprocate.
00:46:57.000By being attacked, it would have been delivered a mandate and the right to retaliate against Iran, which is perhaps the thing that they actually seek.
00:47:10.000And the same thing is true about this.
00:47:14.000Now, we don't have the forensic evidence and it's difficult to say in the days or hours afterward exactly what happens.
00:47:22.000Usually it takes months or years for the truth to come out.
00:47:26.000We got three dead Americans at the hands of Iran.
00:47:30.000What does the United States have to do?
00:47:32.000What do we have to do in this circumstance?
00:47:35.000If a foreign country kills three Americans, and by the way, doesn't kill them in Iraq and Syria where they are unwelcome and where it's a battlefield, but kills them in Jordan, a country that isn't even involved in the conflict, a country that should be a home base that isn't a war zone,
00:47:57.000There have been 170 attacks on American bases since this thing started, all in Iraq and Syria.
00:48:04.000But this one was in Jordan, and this one was deadly, and this one killed three people, and this one targeted the sleeping quarters of the base, which is why people died, and why people suffered severe wounds.
00:48:21.000And it was only allowed to happen because of a sabotage of the technology.
00:48:27.000And now, naturally, of course, the United States must retaliate.
00:48:33.000And bear in mind, we have been retaliating.
00:48:37.000When the Iranian militias have been launching non-lethal strikes against American assets and facilities in the war zones in Iraq and Syria, we have killed their personnel.
00:48:49.000We have attacked Iranian paramilitary facilities.
00:48:52.000We have killed Iranian-backed militants in Iraq and Syria.
00:48:56.000We've killed high-ranking officers, and so has Israel in these countries.
00:49:01.000Now you have three dead service members.
00:49:04.000We were killing high-ranking militants when they were just bombing the buildings.
00:49:08.000Now you got three dead Americans in Jordan.
00:50:13.000We gotta go in, and we gotta hit them harder than we have at any other point in the conflict, which is difficult to do because we are now in between two competing forces here.
00:50:26.000On the one hand, the retaliation has to be bigger than anything else so far in the war, and maybe more than any engagement with Iran since the Trump administration.
00:50:40.000On the other hand, we are trying to avoid an all-out war.
00:52:39.000The nation of Iran has to be the one that feels the pain.
00:52:43.000So that has to be Iranian military assets.
00:52:46.000So some have said maybe the United States will attack an Iranian ship in the Persian Gulf and attack their navy.
00:52:56.000Some have said that there may be an American attack inside of Iran on Iranian soil and kill Iranian troops.
00:53:03.000But both would be unprecedented because both would constitute the first time in the conflict that Iranians killed Americans and then Americans killed Iranians.
00:53:14.000And that's how this spins out of control from a proxy war between Americans and Iranian proxies and
00:53:38.000service members were killed in Jordan on Sunday and at least 34 others were injured in what the Biden administration said was a drone attack from an Iranian-backed militia, the first American military fatalities from hostile fire and the turmoil spilling over from Israel's war with Hamas.
00:53:56.000The attack happened at a remote logistics outpost in northeast Jordan called Tower 22, where the borders of Syria, Iraq and Jordan converge.
00:54:05.000The one-way attack drone hit near the outpost living quarters, causing injuries that range from minor cuts to brain trauma.
00:54:12.000In a statement, the Iranian-backed militias, who call themselves the Axis of Resistance, claimed responsibility for the attack on the base in a remote desert area of Jordan, saying it was a continuation of their approach to resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region.
00:54:31.000But a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, Nasser Kanani, said at a news conference on Monday that the militias do not take orders from Iran and they act independently to oppose aggression and occupation.
00:54:48.000He said accusations that Iran had ordered the strike were baseless and blamed Israel and the United States for fueling instability in the region.
00:54:56.000The drone strike came as Israel and Hezbollah, another Iranian ally, have traded fire across the Lebanese border.
00:55:03.000A Houthi militia in Yemen, also backed by Iran, has fired missiles and drones at commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, calling it a retaliation for the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
00:55:21.000service members stationed in western Iraq were injured when their air base came under heavy rocket and missile fire from what American officials said were Iranian-backed militias.
00:55:31.000It was the latest in at least 164 strikes by these militias against U.S.
00:55:37.000troops in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan since the October 7th attacks.
00:55:42.000Last Sunday, the Pentagon declared two members of the Navy SEALs died after they disappeared 10 days earlier during an operation at sea to intercept weapons from Iran headed to Houthi fighters.
00:55:56.000So, let me paint a picture for you where this war is escalating on every front.
00:56:18.000The Western-backed governments are withdrawing all their money from the UN Relief Agency that's supplying the Gazans with aid and so they're going to run out and then there's going to be famine.
00:56:42.000On the border with Lebanon, American intelligence officials say they fear that Israel is preparing to launch a preemptive war against Hezbollah.
00:56:53.000Hezbollah has 100,000 fighters, they've got 150,000 missiles, and an Israeli clash with them is going to be a serious war.
00:57:03.000And this has only been escalating literally just in the past five days.
00:57:09.000In Yemen, the United States recently began an indefinite air campaign against the Houthi rebels.
00:57:16.000We've killed a couple dozen Houthis, we have done 10 airstrikes against them, and now three American service members are dead in the Gulf of Aden trying to intercept weapons shipments to the Houthis.
00:57:29.000So three casualties in Yemen, and as we pointed out last week, as we reported, Biden has said that we are indefinitely
00:57:38.000Going to be striking the Houthis even though our strikes aren't even effective.
00:57:43.000Now in Iraq and Syria, where there have been 170 strikes by Iranian militias against Americans and now three Americans dead, now the United States is poised to retaliate directly against Iran.
00:57:57.000And this is three weeks after a terrorist attack in Iran killed 80 people, Israel was most likely responsible, and Iran retaliated by bombing
00:58:09.000ISIS backed by Israel and Syria, a Mossad base in northern Iraq, and a Mossad infiltrated group in Balochistan inside of Pakistan just two weeks ago.
00:58:30.000And almost universal crescendo everywhere in the region, it is getting more intense, it is getting hotter, it is escalating, and we're being drawn further and further into a confrontation with the entire Middle East.
00:58:49.000Because here's what's going to happen next, okay?
00:58:54.000Hypothetically, Israel invades Lebanon.
00:59:09.000And these wars in Lebanon are so brutal and so horrifying, they shocked Ronald Reagan, and Reagan demanded Israel retreat.
00:59:20.000Bin Laden says that seeing skyscrapers on fire in Beirut was his inspiration for 9-11.
00:59:28.000So we're talking a major ground war between two states in Lebanon trading missile fire and we will be expected to provide the air cover.
00:59:38.000We're talking about a protracted war in Yemen where the United States is at war with Yemen and potentially the Houthis are drawing Saudi Arabia into the conflict by bombing the Saudi oil fields.
00:59:51.000If I were the Houthis, that's the next pain point.
00:59:56.000Not only can they make global shipping hurt by attacking commercial shipping in the Red Sea, they can also make oil suffer by attacking the oil-rich eastern province of Saudi Arabia, which they did several years ago.
01:00:11.000So you got a war on that front as well.
01:00:14.000Then you're talking about potentially an all-out war against Iran by the United States.
01:00:20.000If the conflict in Iraq and Syria keeps escalating, if Americans keep dying, if Iranians keep dying, regardless of the fact that Iran doesn't want war and doesn't take credit, and the United States doesn't want war, and we've been warning them about the terrorist attacks, we're going to be forced into it.
01:00:41.000And then, if there's a war against Iran, and we're fighting in Syria, guess who's gonna come and show up to protect their assets?
01:00:50.000Most likely Russia and China, because you know who has an extremely important naval base and air base in Syria?
01:01:05.000So now, you may be involving the other global powers.
01:01:09.000And then what happens after that, which we've seen and we haven't even covered it yet on the show, is a dispute about the control of the Philadelphia area on the Egypt-Israel border.
01:01:21.000It's supposed to be demilitarized, the Egypt-Israel border in the Sinai Peninsula on the southern edge of Gaza.
01:01:29.000Now Egypt is accusing Israel of violating that demilitarized zone in violation of the Camp David Accords.
01:01:37.000Which is the foundation of the entire Arab-Israeli security framework for 50 years.
01:01:45.000That's the Camp David Accords from 1979, where Egypt became the first Arab country to recognize the existence of Israel and pave the way for Jordan and the other Gulf countries.
01:02:00.000So, they were not bluffing when Netanyahu and his government said several months ago that they would change the security situation in the Middle East forever, permanently, for 50 years.
01:02:12.000They weren't bluffing, because when all is said and done, it seems like Israel is really making a big play here, and what they're playing for is a decisive defeat of
01:02:25.000Hezbollah, annexation of Gaza, potentially the West Bank as well, American strikes against the Iranian nuclear facilities, and severely diminishing the Iranian militias in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.
01:02:41.000It would seem that that is what they seek to accomplish by drawing everybody into this regional war.
01:02:49.000And the thing that defines all of it is the Iranian nuclear program.
01:02:55.000That's the thing really to understand.
01:02:58.000Iran is really the only true competitor to Israel or true rival to Israel in the Middle East.
01:03:05.000Because not only have they expanded their influence all over the region, but also because Iran is approaching a point where they will be able to develop a nuclear capability.
01:03:18.000And it may be a little bit difficult to understand how the politics of the Iranian nuclear program... Basically, it's not so much about whether Iran can build a nuclear bomb.
01:03:33.000They have enough nuclear material, they have the technology, they have the centrifuges, they have the facilities, they can develop a nuclear weapon.
01:03:43.000Some even say that they can develop an ICBM, which is a little bit more difficult, Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.
01:03:50.000Some say that the Iranian space program is a ploy for them to develop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, because it's similar technology.
01:04:17.000How long before they can put a warhead on a missile and launch it at Israel?
01:04:23.000And the politics of diplomacy with Iran is about that timeline.
01:04:28.000Because as long as Iran does not have highly enriched uranium, which takes time to produce, as long as they keep their enrichment low at like three or four percent,
01:04:38.000And as long as they don't have a lot of it, then the timeline between if they wanted to build a bomb, the timeline between the limitations on their enrichment and the limitations on the amount of feasible material and the development of a nuclear bomb is longer.
01:04:58.000If the enrichment is higher and they have more material, then the timeline between the decision that they're going to have a nuclear weapon and having one is far shorter.
01:05:09.000And all of this has to do with the timeline of what the Israeli response would be.
01:05:13.000If Iran is at a point in its program where it would take just a year for them to put a bomb on a missile, then that gives Israel a year to detect it and blow up the facilities.
01:05:26.000That's sort of the politics of the Iranian nuclear program.
01:05:32.000The politics of the diplomacy of the Iranian nuclear program.
01:05:37.000And this is all really being shaped by the Trump administration.
01:05:46.000Opened up diplomacy with the president of Iran, Rouhani, and they negotiated the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Iranian nuclear deal, and it had signatories from the P5 plus one, China, Russia, the P5 is UK, France, plus one is Germany.
01:06:07.000I think the European Union's a signatory.
01:06:12.000So the JCPOA brought together all of the major countries, the ones that are hostile to Iran more and some less, as well as the supporters of Iran like Russia and China, and the agreement was to lift sanctions
01:06:31.000And Iran was adhering to the deal for years.
01:06:48.000When Trump got into office he said that Iran wasn't adhering to the spirit of the deal and unilaterally withdrew from the deal and reapplied sanctions.
01:06:58.000And with the United States out of the deal the entire thing fell apart.
01:07:01.000Because the whole basis of the deal...
01:07:04.000Is that Iran agrees to limit their nuclear program so that they're not sanctioned.
01:07:10.000But the United States is the world's biggest economy.
01:07:13.000When they impose sanctions, it's very painful.
01:07:16.000And not only does the United States impose sanctions on Iran, but Trump was threatening to impose sanctions on any other country that did business with Iran, like European countries.
01:07:26.000So many of the other signatories, even though they didn't pull out of the deal, they had to reimpose sanctions at the behest of the United States.
01:07:35.000So since we pulled out of the deal in 2019, Iran has been rapidly enriching uranium.
01:07:41.000I don't know what the latest numbers are, but I think it's over 90%.
01:07:49.000For Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, if that is what they so chose to do, is about a year.
01:07:56.000And that is the major impetus behind Israel's desire to attack Iran imminently.
01:08:10.000And, you know, we've talked about a few, there's a lot of different things going on here.
01:08:14.000I mean, the reason that Iran, or rather Hamas, attacked Israel, and some say that Iran was the one pulling the strings, they say, is because Israel was normalizing ties with Saudi Arabia, and that would effectively bring the entire Arab world and the United States into this big security alliance,
01:08:58.000But it would seem that perhaps Israel permitted the attack to happen so that they could go into Gaza because more than they want to deal with Saudi Arabia, which is, it's just on ice.
01:09:50.000And the King of Saudi Arabia is a cuck for Israel.
01:09:53.000While Israel is killing Muslims in Gaza, and I'm not such a bleeding heart about this, but the Muslims are, while Israel is over there in Gaza killing 30,000 people, bombing children and hospitals, and fleeing refugees and all this stuff,
01:10:09.000They're drawing the whole Muslim world into a war.
01:11:09.000So Israel knows that deal is still going to happen.
01:11:12.000They're still going to build this IMEC corridor.
01:11:15.000They're still going to get billions from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
01:11:19.000Their real priority, which they noticed, is that they have to thwart the Iranian nuclear program.
01:11:25.000And they can't get the Biden... they know they couldn't get the Biden administration to attack Iran.
01:11:31.000They know they can't get Trump to attack Iran.
01:11:35.000But if they get attacked by Hamas, and it's the worst anti-Semitic attack since the Holocaust, and it turns into a broader conflagration between Israel and these Iranian proxies across the whole region, they know that in the fog of war, they can instigate and they can bring the United States in to bomb Iran and do it for them.
01:11:58.000And that is exactly what they've been doing.
01:12:01.000And I would bet you a lot of money that that terror attack in Kerman by Josh al-Adl, that was Mossad.
01:12:11.000And we know that was Mossad because the precursor to that group was infiltrated by Mossad, according to our own CIA.
01:12:19.000And that was supposed to be the spark that ignited a war.
01:12:25.000Now here we have the situation in Jordan where, oops, the American air defense just malfunctioned and a bunch of people died.
01:12:37.000Now one's maybe a bit less conspicuous.
01:12:42.000But as long as the United States is involved in these countries, as long as we're backing this, as long as Israel continues in Gaza, they know where the wind is blowing.
01:12:51.000They know where the arrow is pointed here.
01:12:54.000As long as America and all these proxies are trading fire, there's only direction this can go in.
01:12:59.000You're not gonna... If the Houthis are saying that we're just gonna bomb ships indefinitely and you can't hit us because, you know, we're just driving around the desert,
01:13:10.000And our attacks aren't even working, and they're not diminishing their capabilities.
01:13:15.000There's no outcome where everybody just walks away.
01:13:19.000And the same is true in the West Bank, and the same is true in Lebanon, and the same is true in Iraq and Syria.
01:13:25.000There's one way that this goes, and that is towards more intensity, as long as Israel is engaging in Gaza and carrying on everywhere else.
01:13:37.000So, this is not a happy accident for Israel that the United States is hurtling towards a war with Iran.
01:14:01.000Over the last 30 years, they were Saddam Hussein, Hafez, and then Bashar al-Assad, and now Iran.
01:14:09.000And Saddam Hussein was hanged, and Bashar al-Assad is weaker, perhaps, than ever before.
01:14:17.000And now look at who's next on the chopping block.
01:14:21.000And just like lucky Larry Silverstein, and everybody, and everything else, I mean, these people always just seem to luck out that they just
01:14:40.000But you know who doesn't ever seem to last?
01:14:42.000Arab Muslim dictators that hate Israel.
01:14:45.000For whatever reason, their expiration date comes really quickly and often at the hands of the United States after some dubious provocation.
01:14:57.000So, the America First policy is we have got to just stop.
01:16:32.000We developed it, we paid for it, and they stole them from us so that they could create this checkmate situation.
01:16:40.000That's why they killed Kennedy, they killed RFK to cover it up, so that they could get this nuclear bomb that will forever be a checkmate and keep the world in a constant state of blackmail.
01:16:56.000In that sense, they're worse than North Korea.
01:17:16.000They have to present this spiky exterior.
01:17:18.000They have to project strength because they fear the collapse of their regime if there were any kind of reunification or if the United States tried to give them the regime change treatment.
01:19:07.000They declared independence in 1948, and by the 70s, they stole a weapon of mass destruction, and they built hundreds of them, and they built missiles.
01:19:21.000And now they're threatening to kill everybody.
01:19:24.000So, yeah, safe to say I think it was a big mistake.
01:22:32.000And the thing is, faith is a gift that comes from the grace of God, but it is a reasonable belief, because it's true.
01:22:49.000So, when you look at Plato and you look at some of the other ancient philosophers, a lot of their works were incorporated into Catholic theology by philosophers like Aquinas.
01:23:06.000So, this idea of, like, oh, I can't read philosophy because that'll corrupt my, like, blind faith, it doesn't work like that.
01:23:16.000So if you want it, there's uh, there's a good book about that.
01:23:18.000It's called The Last Superstition by Ed Fieser.
01:26:01.000Samba grow I percent $10 your response to retarded super chats from now on should just be a soundbite That was a dumbass question to ask a grown-ass superhero.
01:28:02.000I mean the thing is I would say to be an intern but you probably would just want to hang out with me and stuff but I you know we actually need people to like work but if you want to volunteer shoot me an email if you have any skills.
01:29:23.000I follow Scott Greer and Hanania and Keith Woods and Charles Johnson.
01:29:29.000I follow some substats and I read them, but there's something about this, like, follow me on substat that has just become this new gay thing that everyone does.
01:29:42.000I probably should put it somewhere where you can find all of it.
01:29:47.000But I don't want to be one of those guys.
01:30:23.000You know, I would have said white excellence, but lately everyone's been hating on her because she's going to register her voters for Biden.
01:30:28.000So now I don't really know what to think.
01:30:31.000Gary Faulkner sent $3, seems like Elon traded a crackdown on X for the approval of Starlink to operate in Israel and free speech absolutism was just a negotiating tactic to leverage censorship for market access.
01:30:47.000I don't know if I necessarily believe that.
01:33:53.000Just look at the cross and try not to be compelled by the power of the loving sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
01:34:06.000I'm convinced if you really earnestly approach the cross, you cannot help but be transformed.
01:34:16.000At least a little bit you know not and some people close themselves off to it, but I mean if you're earnest it's I Can't imagine that it's not compelling unless you're just totally gone unless you're a total demon So god bless you, man.
01:34:31.000I'd love love love to hear that And good for you, man
01:36:04.000I mean that alone, it's like you gotta become a Christian and you gotta come home to your loving Heavenly Father who gave up his son as a sacrifice.
01:36:14.000And also think about the Muslim treatment of the cross.
01:36:17.000Muslims, they say that Jesus lived, they say he was a Messiah, they say he was up on the cross even, but they say that somehow he like got away.
01:36:29.000What even is that they say like they I mean they believe in all of it right up until the point of the cross And then they're like oh well It's sort of like a trick like he didn't get resurrected or he never died or something like that I don't know precisely what it is, but it's really I mean Even historically it just doesn't make sense so
01:36:49.000You know, there's one faith that really makes sense, even in light of historical events, which is that Jesus did live, he did die, he was resurrected, he did appear before his apostles and before hundreds, and that's why they testified to his resurrection at the point of death, and that is what led to the rapid growth of Christianity, and so on and so forth.
01:37:15.000Everything else where it's like, oh he did he didn't or oh like, you know This other stuff that the Jews say about the Dead Sea Scrolls just doesn't even make any sense so Anyway So you gotta love God God the Father
01:38:31.000When you look at these legalistic, arcane traditions of the Jews and the Muslims, which they both have that in common, Jews are like, they have cups with two handles so they can wash their hands the ritualistic way, and they don't shave their sideburns, and the women wear wigs because you can't see their real hair, but you can see fake hair on top of their real...
01:38:54.000They like tape the light on their refrigerator.
01:38:56.000So, because if they open the fridge and turn the light on, you know, that would not be Kabbalistic.
01:39:02.000And then, you know, Muslims are like, we don't use toothpaste.
01:39:05.000We use a stick because the Prophet used a stick.
01:39:08.000And when we piss, there's a holy way to piss.
01:39:11.000We gotta milk the urine out of the penis.
01:39:14.000We have to massage the urine out of the penis.
01:39:17.000We have to ritualistically discharge the urine.
01:39:21.000And it's like, okay, do we think this is true?
01:39:30.000They come up with Midrash, and Islam sort of has something similar, these Hadiths.
01:39:38.000They have this process of evaluating it.
01:39:41.000The Church, the Catholic Church alone, has authority.
01:39:45.000The Catholic Church alone stands on an unshakable rock, protected from error by God.
01:39:52.000And the Catholic Church speaks to transcendent
01:39:58.000Legalistic moralism not not this these arcane desert, you know for all these people that say that the Catholic Church is outdated Catholic Church is the only one that stands the test of time As opposed to brushing your teeth with sticks and all that other stuff Having multiple wives and anyway
01:40:27.000Hey, thank you very much for the big super chat!
01:41:26.000I'm not gonna insult my own race, but you know, but I I do I Recognize as I get older that I have the genetics of my ancestors and I love my ancestors, but they were Very Rambunctious let's put it that way I was talking to Charles Johnson about this and he was like He was asking me about because he's really into genetics and I he was like, well, what were your grandparents?
01:41:54.000I was like one of them's a heroin addict and one of them was was in the war and alcoholic and you know a lot of them were drug addicts and things like that and you know a lot of there were some bank robbers and some outlaws and some some real thugs and a couple revolutionaries and that's just who I am you know on some level it's
01:42:22.000So I wish, I wish I, because I talked to some of my friends who are more like Germanic and they're very mild-mannered and they're very, they're very reserved and they're able to go and put their head down and and diligently perform their work on time and methodically and I just have no patience.
01:42:51.000I'm one of these people that just, like, tumbles from one distraction to the next.
01:42:57.000You know, it's like, I'm getting ready to do my show, then I check Call of War, then I'm doing that, then I, like, go on the shower.
01:43:03.000I mean, literally today, before I got in the shower, I was like, oh wait, I have no clean clothes, I gotta go to the washing machine and get my, uh, my shirts, which are in the dryer.
01:43:14.000I leave the shower running, I go to the washing machine, I unload the washing, then I look and there's something fucked up with something in the laundry room and I'm like investigating that and then I'm like and then I'm writing down oh I gotta call so-and-so to get this fixed and then I'm like looking in the garbage can and then I'm like oh yeah the laundry then I go upstairs and I'm like what's that noise oh yeah the shower's running so
01:43:39.000I just can't I got I don't know someone has to help me break free from this I I want to be a person who's productive for 12 hours a day But I don't even know how I get started.
01:43:49.000I just forget I'd make a big plan and then within like a week I totally forget and I'm back to my old bad habits.
01:44:13.000Remember in Iron Man 2 when they put him in house arrest and they said, fix the suit, invent a new element, and he kept trying to escape and they kept dragging him back?
01:44:23.000The problem is, when you're rich and you're a genius and you just are totally rebellious, you could just do whatever you want, no one can stop you, but that's a bad thing sometimes.
01:44:35.000I need, I need somebody like that guy in that movie to be like, no you're gonna sit here and you're gonna invent a new element and you're not leaving until you do.
01:44:46.000You're gonna invent the new element to power the suit.
01:44:53.000That's probably why I'm so smart is because the same reason why I'm ADHD, it's the same reason that I can see connections and things.
01:45:03.000That I can understand everything relationally and by analogy and on a small and big level is because I think it's because I'm scatterbrained.
01:45:16.000If I was more methodical, I think it would be one of those can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees situations.
01:45:21.000But because I'm so scatterbrained, I can kind of zoom in and zoom out and hear echoes of things in everything else.
01:45:32.000But I wish... I wish that I could really be industrious.
01:49:37.000McKay Lionheart sent $30, if you don't support Nick then you simply just don't support America first.
01:49:43.000So either stand in line or get the fuck out of our way faggoto slash.
01:49:51.000Chad Champion sent $5, I think a lot of the PF people were just not around for the alt-right days it's literally like the clone troopers then storm troopers.
01:50:00.000Pat Buchanan had a good debate WAKKK about this wearing costumes doesn't help us.
01:53:05.000Conker sent $5, nice to see that I broke the ice between you and Thierry.
01:53:10.000Also, looking back on Friday's Super Chats, it appears from your Catholic views that you are more leaning to baptism than a strict Anit Sola script or a Catholic.
01:56:15.000If I get a topping, I'm gonna get, like, um... I almost always just get cheese, but... I suppose if I were to get a topping, I'd maybe get, uh, spinach and rigat, or I'd get sausage and mushroom.
01:56:29.000Those are, like, the two combos in my family that we would get.
01:56:33.000or if I'm by myself maybe I'll get green pepper change it up a little or sometimes I put Italian beef on it um you know so but I I usually just go plain I just like cheese I just like pizza I don't like to fuck around with too many because it's like anything else you put too many toppings on it and then you don't get the real taste of the pizza you know then it just tastes like the the toppings
01:57:21.000I don't talk to either of them, so I don't know what's going on with them.
01:57:23.000I think that Ye is clearly still rebellious.
01:57:25.000I mean, he's still clearly red-pilled.
01:57:48.000I mean he's a true Hitler supporter you know I mean I could tell you some of the conversations we had he's he really gets it and as evidenced by his that his monologue on the night that vultures was supposed to release he still feels the same way in spite of the apologies so I think that's just a matter of time before he goes off again
01:58:49.000They always say that during the 1st and 2nd Oslo Accords or in 1948 that they're earnestly coming to Israel with the deal and the Palestinians keep rejecting it.
01:59:02.000It's a, I mean, without getting into a lot of the specifics, the Israelis are always giving them a bad deal, or poison-pilling it, or doing things they know the Palestinians will never accept, or changing it.
01:59:17.000And so there's really, there's an unwillingness at various times on the part of both parties to make a deal, but either side makes it out like only one side is is doing them.
01:59:31.000But really, I don't think either side wants to make a deal.
