00:13:30.000First story is about a major massacre.
00:13:34.000that occurred today outside of a humanitarian aid truck and there's a dispute about what exactly happened but it's credible.
00:13:44.000Reports from the Palestinians suggest that Israelis opened fire on basically a crowd of civilians as they were attempting to collect aid from a humanitarian aid convoy and over a hundred were killed.
00:14:01.000Many were taken to hospitals, almost all of them with bullet wounds or shrapnel wounds, which would suggest that they were shot.
00:14:11.000The Israelis say it was just a stampede over the aid, but that doesn't seem plausible.
00:14:19.000We'll also be talking tonight about the renewed warnings from the administration that Israel is preparing an offensive in Lebanon against Hezbollah, potentially as soon as this spring, in just a couple of months.
00:14:36.000And they talked about this for a long time, covered it on the show I think back in December, December and January.
00:14:44.000Americans have been anticipating this for months now.
00:14:48.000Some say this was the plan from the very beginning, since October, which is that once Israel had cleaned up in Gaza and killed everybody and driven everybody from the land, that they would then pivot, turn their attention north, and attack Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:15:09.000Although Israel has had their hands tied with Hamas and murdering people in Gaza for the past several months, but now that this is almost complete, they are preparing what will probably be the last major ground operation, which will take place in Rafah very soon.
00:15:26.000And once that city falls, it would seem that the major campaign will be over.
00:15:34.000And that will free up the Israeli military to then pivot and attack Hezbollah to their north.
00:15:41.000So we'll talk about why the Americans believe that, why that may be inevitable, and the broader geopolitics of that border dispute.
00:15:51.000Because Hezbollah and Israel have been at war a very low boil below the threshold of a major conflict ever since the October 7th
00:16:02.000attack but it has not escalated into a full-blown war although it has been escalating it's been getting more intense and the strikes have been getting more severe and they have been moving deeper into Israeli and Lebanese territory and it would seem that the hostilities are going to break out anytime this year spring or summer so
00:17:50.000Everybody else is paying attention to something else.
00:17:56.000I'm the only one that called these two things.
00:17:59.000So one, today Tucker Carlson drops another episode of his show and he's interviewing two Brazilian dissidents who were silenced by the Lula da Silva government in Brazil.
00:18:38.000I think it might have even been last week.
00:18:40.000Now, Tucker Carlson is on his show interviewing dissidents and talking about how Lula is anti-democratic and a communist and a far-left leader.
00:18:54.000It's also just another one, another installment, another episode in this series of Tucker Carlson meddling in the affairs of foreign countries, but only specific foreign countries.
00:19:09.000Only countries in the Western Hemisphere, it seems, mostly, and Europe.
00:19:14.000I haven't seen a Tucker Carlson original from Africa.
00:19:18.000Or from nearly any country in Asia, seems to be a special focus on America's allies.
00:19:25.000Countries covered by the Monroe Doctrine, and countries that are part of the broader Western periphery.
00:19:33.000And that would include interviews with Viktor Orban in Hungary, who is tied very closely to Netanyahu in Israel, and who recently vetoed a European Union resolution
00:19:49.000He's done an interview with Santiago Abascal, a right-wing leader, leader of the Vox party in Spain, tied to Netanyahu and Israel.
00:20:00.000He's done an interview with Millet in Argentina.
00:20:04.000Another right-wing leader closely tied to Israel and the United States went to Canada to protest Justin Trudeau, left-wing liberal guy, hostile and some would say to Israel.
00:20:19.000And Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, another right-wing leader friendly to Israel, and now he's continuing the series, another installment, against Lula, a left-wing government hostile to Israel, favorable to China.
00:20:36.000Okay, I've kind of been saying it, but what do these all have in common?
00:20:43.000Well, it seems that he's interviewing a lot of governments that are right-wing and connected to Israel and pro-America and pro-Israel, and he's opposed to all left-wing governments that are pro-China, anti-Israel, or anti-America.
00:21:00.000And that's related to another development I saw today, which, wouldn't you guess, this is concerning Millet, who was promoted heavily by Tucker and heavily by the Peter Thiel, Bronze Age pervert, Curtis Yarvin network on Twitter.
00:21:15.000You remember when Millet got elected shortly after the Tucker interview, I said this is a coup.
00:21:30.000We know that, one, because of Malay's strong ties with Israel.
00:21:33.000And we know that, two, because Malay committed that he would not have relations with China and Brazil if elected.
00:21:41.000And Argentina, like many Latin American countries, has a very important economic partnership with China.
00:21:47.000It's the trend over the past 10 or 15 years.
00:21:51.000China's come to dominate South and Central American trade.
00:21:55.000Which is infringing on America's claim to every country in the Western Hemisphere.
00:22:04.000So not only that, but once elected, Malay threw off the Argentinian or Argentine accession into the BRICS alliance with both Russia and China.
00:22:15.000And then just this past week, Malay met with the U.S.
00:22:22.000Who praised the shock therapy of the Malay government and talked about bringing Argentina into the fold so that the United States can harvest what?
00:22:38.000I said this is about throwing China out of South and Central America and Argentina is important because they are in the lithium triangle in South America with Chile and Paraguay.
00:22:52.000And Argentina has the largest saltwater reserves of lithium, but they're the only country that's not fully exploiting them or not exploiting those resources efficiently.
00:23:03.000And if China is in bed with Argentina, China, of course, would stand to gain from that.
00:23:09.000So flipping Argentina is about canceling the BRICS accession, which happened.
00:23:14.000It's about beating back China in the South Central America sphere, which was also accomplished.
00:23:23.000And it's about securing those vital resources for the United States, which Blinken discussed with Malay, and which Malay has been talking about since he got elected.
00:25:16.000But no, I'm sure Tucker's just a tourist.
00:25:18.000Like he said in that interview with Lex Friedman yesterday, another organic guy just telling the truth, like he told Lex Friedman, he's just curious.
00:25:29.000He's just traveling the world like a tourist.
00:25:33.000He's like Forrest Gump, just like his dad, just shows up at all the right places at the right time to get the Mossad, Likud, CIA agenda through.
00:25:45.000Crazy coincidences, just a crazy world.
00:25:49.000Anyway, so I'm totally vindicated on all that.
00:25:52.000You go back, I did a Twitter space about this when Millet won back in like, what, November, October?
00:28:38.000To bring you back up to speed, because it's been a minute since I did an Israel-Palestine show.
00:28:42.000If you've already, if you watch my show, you've heard this a million times, but I'll bring everybody up to speed.
00:28:48.000So this Gaza campaign, I think it's more fair to call it a campaign than a war.
00:28:55.000As somebody's pointed out, and people have said this in my comments, the hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip cannot even be considered a war.
00:29:07.000Because Hamas doesn't really have a real military.
00:29:11.000So this is the full weight of an advanced, strong, developed military against what is mostly a civilian population.
00:29:22.000And today, there was testimony by the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
00:29:27.000He was questioned by Representative Ro Khanna.
00:29:31.000And our Secretary of Defense, the American military, was asked how many women and children have been killed in the campaign to date.
00:30:02.000When we think of a war, and what a war is, is when two sides, and maybe it's not always perfectly symmetrical, but it's two sides, it's typically they're young men taking up arms and fighting each other with strategic objectives.
00:31:28.000This is about murder rather than the kind of killing that happens in a war.
00:31:34.000The kind of killing which targets military personnel, enemy combatants, or even you could say potential enemy combatants.
00:31:43.000And parallel to this, Israel has destroyed half of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, half of the buildings, and specifically targeting hospitals, schools, and farmland.
00:31:57.000And you don't do that in a conventional military campaign.
00:32:02.000Conventional military campaign would target military industry, which Gaza does not have.
00:32:09.000Or it would target a barracks or a military base, which once again, they do not have in Gaza, because they do not feel the conventional military.
00:32:21.000So, when you take those two trends together, you take these two alarming figures, you begin to understand what's going on there.
00:32:29.000Killing 25,000 women and children, destroying half the infrastructure,
00:32:34.000Including farmland, schools, and hospitals.
00:32:36.000In some cases raising them to the ground once they're occupied by the Israeli military.
00:33:03.000It's been called a barbaric, anachronistic kind of war from another century, an unprovoked, illegal war crime of a campaign for the purpose of taking land to satisfy Putin's hunger for territory.
00:33:19.000Everyone has felt comfortable saying that in the United States and in the West about Russia.
00:33:25.000Russia has not killed that many civilians.
00:33:28.000They're not targeting infrastructure in the same way.
00:33:31.000But this is what's been happening in Israel since October 7th.
00:33:34.000And not only are we not speaking out against it or opposing it, I'm talking about the American state, but we are facilitating it by providing the missiles and providing the cash and providing the military support, which comes with an aircraft carrier off the coast, fighter jets,
00:33:55.000Replenishing their Iron Dome missile defense, negotiating with their enemies on their behalf.
00:34:02.000So, so anyway, so that's just on the terminology.
00:34:20.000So this campaign has been going on now since October, excuse me, since October the 7th.
00:34:27.000And as we've said many times since the hostilities broke out, this has always had the potential to become and is rapidly becoming a wider regional war.
00:34:43.000And it is so outrageous and so provocative that it is drawing in all of the regional players.
00:34:50.000And so now there is hostility breaking out all over on Israel's northern border between Israel and Hezbollah in the West Bank, where Hamas doesn't operate but the Palestinian Authority does.
00:35:05.000In Iraq and Syria, where Iranian-backed militias are attacking American bases and personnel, and Israel and America are retaliating.
00:35:14.000In the Red Sea, where the Houthi pirates are attacking international shipping, and now the United States is conducting an air campaign against them.
00:35:21.000And in Iran, where there have been sporadic terror attacks.
00:35:27.000The most severe one was on the anniversary of the death of Qasem Soleimani in the beginning of January, and there was actually a recent attack last week against a gas pipeline, which many believe Israel was responsible.
00:35:40.000So these are the various theaters of conflict.
00:35:44.000And as we've also said since the beginning of the conflict, it would seem that there is a particular interest in Jerusalem on the part of the Israelis.
00:35:58.000Because the militant faction of the right wing of the Israeli government
00:36:06.000Sees Israel as becoming encircled by Iranian backed forces.
00:36:19.000If Iran is backing Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon just north of Israel, backing forces in Syria and Iraq east of Israel, and backing the Houthis in Yemen south of Israel, where they're sending missiles to Israel's southernmost cities, you can see there is an Iranian encirclement occurring.
00:36:38.000And the militant wing of the right of the Israeli government seeks to use October 7th as an opportunity to launch an offensive on every front.
00:36:50.000And to strategically weaken or destroy some or all of these forces that encircle them by eradicating Hamas and maybe half of the population of Gaza in the Gaza Strip.
00:37:05.000They seek to attack Hezbollah in some way which we're about to talk about and degrade their capability to a significant extent.
00:37:15.000They want to draw the United States into the conflict in Iraq and Syria to defeat Iran there, and in Yemen where we're already fighting the Houthis.
00:37:24.000And I think ultimately the grand prize, what Israel really wants, is for a domino effect to occur, a sort of chain reaction, that starts on October 7th with the Hamas incursion into Israel,
00:37:39.000...evolves through the Israeli ground campaign in Gaza, potentially an Israeli campaign in Lebanon, and ultimately ends in an Israeli strike or an American strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
00:37:59.000And that is Israel's ultimate strategic objective at this point.
00:38:03.000That is their ultimate adversary and the one they consider to be the greatest threat.
00:38:09.000Specifically because Iran, and it's important also just like we're talking about our terms on the war versus the genocide, we also have to speak in a precise way about what is happening in Iran.
00:38:24.000Many people don't really understand the state of the Iranian nuclear program.
00:38:31.000They do not possess a nuclear arsenal.
00:38:52.000They have the facilities necessary to refine the nuclear material into something that will be useful for a bomb.
00:39:00.000They have a space program and they have the military industrial capacity to build missiles.
00:39:08.000Many speculate that that is what their space program is really about.
00:39:12.000Because there is a huge overlap between the kind of rocket technology necessary for a space program to launch a satellite or the type of rocket that could deploy a nuclear warhead.
00:39:26.000So, Iran can achieve all of that, but they refuse to.
00:39:32.000Because Iran knows that if they were to pursue and then acquire a nuclear capability, or rather a nuclear arsenal, that that would trigger
00:39:42.000Probably a preemptive strike by Israel and the United States.
00:39:46.000So the nuclear politics of Iran is a question of how long, if Iran decided to undertake that course, how long would it take Iran to develop these things?
00:40:00.000What would be the time necessary between Iran deciding they would pursue a nuclear weapon and when they would be able to put it on a bomb and then launch it?
00:40:11.000And that was the purpose of the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 was to make that timeline longer so that if Iran began down that path
00:40:22.000There would be a way to, through diplomacy or military strikes, prevent them from acquiring an arsenal.
00:40:28.000And the provisions of the nuclear deal were to restrict the level at which Iran could refine uranium, and how much they could have, and a few other things, checks by the IAEA.
00:40:42.000But Donald Trump pulled us out of that in 2020 and many believe that that has pushed Iran, and it has, to enrich uranium to a much higher percentage and thereby shorten the time that it would take Iran to develop a nuclear arsenal if they pursued one.
00:40:59.000And so it is that Iran has pulled out of the nuclear deal in response to Trump pulling America out of the nuclear deal, enriching uranium to above 90%, shortening the timeline between when they seek one and when they can acquire a nuclear arsenal, that has driven Israel to take very aggressive, provocative steps to try to contain the Iranian nuclear program and the Iranian threat.
00:41:23.000And that's why they're using October 7th
00:41:28.000To gradually create momentum that will force the United States into an encounter, a confrontation with Iran such that they would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities or where they would allow Israel to bomb Israel's nuclear facilities and neutralize the threat.
00:41:55.000So, since the war broke out back on October 7th, Israel has been trading fire with Lebanon, trading fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon on their northern border.
00:42:06.000And you have to understand precisely, as well, how this happened.
00:42:10.000When Hamas attacked on October 7th, Israel evacuated its border with the Gaza Strip in preparation of hostilities.
00:42:19.000Israel also evacuated its northern border with Lebanon.
00:42:24.000They evacuated 80,000 people from their border with Lebanon and deployed their military, some would say their most experienced, ground personnel to their northern border with Lebanon in anticipation of a Hezbollah attack to deter or to anticipate a parallel strike by Hezbollah after the Hamas strike.
00:42:48.000And since October 7th, those northern communities along the border with Lebanon have been evacuated.
00:42:56.000And Israel's military as well as the Hezbollah forces have been deployed along that border.
00:43:02.000But Israel has repeatedly said that they will not allow their civilians to repopulate the northern border until Hezbollah retreats from the northern border.
00:43:13.000And specifically to this river called Latani, which is 18 miles from Israel's border.
00:43:20.000And so Israel has said, unless Hezbollah retreats to the river, we cannot resettle our 80,000 civilians on the border.
00:43:30.000And if Hezbollah doesn't do that, and we can't have our people living along the border, you have to understand that Israel is obsessed with control over the land.
00:43:41.000That the history of the State of Israel is a history of land disputes.
00:43:49.000There's been a lot of fighting over what the borders will be with Palestine, with Jordan, with Egypt.
00:43:55.000And that has been the basis of the peace negotiations and the wars.
00:43:59.000Wars and negotiations over the Sinai, over the Golan, over the West Bank, over Gaza, over Jerusalem.
00:44:06.000And so, Israel sees the evacuation of the northern border, in some ways, as ceding that territory.
00:44:15.000If they can't have their population there, it's almost as if Hezbollah has taken it.
00:44:20.000It's almost as if they have forfeited the land.
00:44:24.000If they're forced to create a buffer zone between where their people can live and the border, then that buffer zone is effectively no longer Israeli territory.
00:44:34.000So the Israeli government in Jerusalem says that is an unacceptable position.
00:44:39.000We have to be able to return our people to the border because if our people can't live there in safety and without fear of attack then it's not our territory and that's a violation of our territorial integrity and our sovereignty.
00:44:54.000But we won't feel comfortable putting our people back on the border until Hezbollah retreats 18 miles from the border.
00:45:02.000Because as long as those forces are deployed, they will live in insecurity, and that is unacceptable, especially after the attack on October 7th.
00:45:11.000You can't expect Israelis to live right along the border with 100,000 Hezbollah fighters with 150,000 missiles.
00:45:20.000After those kibbutzim and other communities, agricultural communities in southern Israel were raided by Hamas right across the border wall from the Gaza Strip.
00:45:34.000So Israel says, we can't redeploy our people, which is a necessity, until you retreat to the river.
00:45:39.000But Hezbollah says, well, we're not going to retreat to the river because you're on our border as well.
00:45:49.000And now the United States and France are put in the position of negotiating.
00:45:53.000The United States does not want a war between Israel and Lebanon because if the war widens and escalates, meaning it goes beyond fighting in Gaza and now draws in Lebanon, the more countries become involved, the more the United States will have to step in to defend Israel, to defend and support Israel
00:46:19.000And to deter other adversaries such as Iran from getting involved.
00:46:23.000The United States, especially during an election year, and when we're already committed to Ukraine, does not want to be drawn into a conflict.
00:46:31.000So, the United States made it very clear in November to the Israeli government that we do not want them to get involved in a war in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
00:46:43.000So, the United States government and the French government, which has a historic connection to Lebanon, have been negotiating between the two parties, between Hezbollah and Israel, to create a buffer zone, where Hezbollah would retreat, which would allow the Israelis to return, but it seems like that's not going to happen, because although the Israelis are giving this tenuous excuse about, well, we have to resettle the northern border, in reality, as I said at the beginning,
00:47:12.000It seems that from the start of this whole campaign on October 7th that Israel actually wants the war.
00:47:19.000It's not really about putting their people back.
00:47:22.000It's not really about Hezbollah retreating.
00:47:25.000It's that Israel sees October 7th as their opportunity.
00:47:30.000They have a political currency, political capital that they can cash in.
00:47:35.000They were attacked, they created all this atrocity propaganda, and now for a limited time they have a blank check to act in a very aggressive and offensive way.
00:47:46.000And they're going to use that blank check as their big opportunity to strike hard at all of their perceived enemies.
00:47:55.000And that's Hamas in Gaza, that's Hezbollah in Lebanon, and it's going to be Iran, eventually.
00:48:01.000So Israel is creating this air of hostility and aggressiveness.
00:48:06.000They're making unreasonable demands because they know the U.S.
00:49:01.000And so Israel knows, and Iran knows, that if Israel attacks Iran first, that Hezbollah is going to launch 100,000 missiles at Israel.
00:49:12.000And the Iron Dome will be overwhelmed, population centers will be hit, and it will be a bloodbath.
00:49:18.000It's actually very similar to the North Korea-South Korea DMZ.
00:49:22.000North Korea not only has a nuclear arsenal, they also have tons of artillery.
00:49:27.000And so any decapitation strike on the North Korean government, North Korea will retaliate against the capital Seoul and kill a million people.
00:49:36.000And that is part of the checkmate, or check system,
00:50:17.000Would eliminate Iran's second strike capability and potentially, if Hezbollah was attacked in a serious way, Iran would green light Hezbollah to engage Israel in an all-out war.
00:50:29.000And maybe Iran might get involved and maybe the larger axis of resistance gets more involved.
00:50:35.000We've seen them get involved to some extent but not to the fullest extent.
00:50:41.000The Houthi rebels could begin attacking Saudi Arabia and the oil fields in the eastern province.
00:50:46.000They could begin sending more missiles to Israel and its southern cities.
00:50:51.000Popular mobilization force in Iraq and Iranian militias in Syria might go full out attacking Israel.
00:51:30.000It says, quote, American administration and intelligence officials are concerned that Israel is planning a ground incursion into Lebanon that could be launched in the late spring or early summer.
00:51:42.000If diplomatic efforts fail to push Hezbollah back from the northern border with Israel.
00:51:47.000One senior Biden administration official said, quote, we are operating under the assumption that an Israeli military operation is in the coming months.
00:51:56.000Not necessarily imminently in the next few weeks, but perhaps later in the spring.
00:52:02.000An Israeli military operation is a distinct possibility.
00:52:06.000There have been months of deadly cross-border strikes by both Israel and Hezbollah that have displaced tens of thousands of Lebanese and Israeli residents from their homes.
00:52:15.000Israel has fired artillery and launched jets and drones to strike targets while Hezbollah has used some of its vast arsenal of rockets and missiles.
00:52:24.000One senior official who has heard differing opinions within the Israeli government
00:52:31.000Said, quote, I think what Israel is doing is they are raising the threat in the hope that there will be a negotiated agreement.
00:52:38.000Another official said there are elements inside the Israeli government in favor of an incursion.
00:52:45.000There's a growing group that says, quote, hey, let's just take a shot.
00:52:51.000Adding that any incursion could lead to a major escalation that we don't even know the proportions of.
00:52:57.000Some 80,000 Israelis have been displaced from the north since October.
00:53:02.000In a statement to CNN, the Israeli embassy in Washington wrote,
00:53:16.000In recent days, Israel has been stepping up its air campaign, bombing deeper into Lebanon.
00:53:22.000Strikes last week came within 27 miles of the capital, Beirut, the farthest into Lebanese territory from the border since the violence started after October 7th.
00:53:34.000There are fears this will grow to an expansive air campaign reaching further north into populated areas of Lebanon and eventually grow into a ground component as well, said another person familiar.
00:53:47.000Israel's top general visited the northern border on Tuesday and said Hezbollah must pay a heavy price for its actions since October 7th.
00:53:55.000Many have also argued that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has an interest in extending the fighting because an end to the conflict could bring about the end of his government.
00:54:04.000If quiet is restored, then questions about his failure to protect Israel on October 7th will fill the vacuum.
00:54:13.000Israel's been eager to saber-rattle with Hezbollah, taking journalists to see live fire exercises in the Golan Heights near Lebanon.
00:54:21.000Israeli forces demonstrated combined arms maneuvers in which tanks tore up mud plowing through the hills alongside infantry troops.
00:54:31.000So, this has been the concern for a long time.
00:54:35.000They've been saying it since October, that the plan was first Hamas, then Hezbollah, then Iran.
00:54:41.000And there are warnings going back months that Israel's getting ready to do this.
00:54:46.000They've been sounding the alarms for a long time, saying the Israeli government wants it.
00:54:51.000And they say that because Israel's gradually been striking deeper into Lebanon, killing more people, more high-ranking people.
00:54:59.000They have been saber-rattling and making these demands, ultimatums, that if Hezbollah doesn't retreat, then they're going in.
00:55:09.000The main thing that's been holding Israel back is that they have their hands tied in Gaza with Hamas.
00:55:15.000But that's not going to last forever because pretty soon Israel will launch its campaign in Rafa, which is the last city they need to take out in southern Gaza.
00:55:41.000Initially, Egypt said that if Israel invades Rafah and sends Palestinians across Egypt's border into the Sinai, Egypt said they'd pull out of the Camp David Treaty.
00:55:51.000Then, they came out a day later and said, no, never mind, we didn't mean that.
00:55:56.000And then the Mossad chief visited Cairo.
00:55:59.000And the United States said, you know, you better not go into RAFA and we're gonna put across a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire.
00:56:32.000They're gonna go in, when we tell them not to, we're gonna keep giving them missiles.
00:56:37.000So, once the RAFA campaign begins, they are basically cleared, then, to pivot to the North.
00:56:46.000Recently, last week, the Iranian government is reported as telling Hezbollah that if Israel moves into Rafah, that Hezbollah has the green light to attack Israel.
00:56:56.000Because Iran recognizes that this is the dynamic.
00:56:59.000That if Israel finishes Rafah, they're going for Hezbollah.
00:57:03.000So Iran said, look, if they go into Rafah, you go into Israel.
00:57:07.000And that's supposed to deter Israel from making this last operation into Rafah.
00:57:14.000And then clearing the way for them not only to then attack Hezbollah, freeing up their military, but also then probably to begin killing Hamas military leadership in other countries and doing some other extraordinary actions.
00:57:30.000The main thing that's been holding back Israel is not just that they have their hands tied, but also then that the United States government has not supplied them with the aid package they need.
00:57:40.000And this is where the United States gets involved.
00:57:43.000Where, if you've been paying attention to my coverage of what's happening in Congress, we've had a lot of dysfunction in Congress.
00:57:50.000Can't get the government funded since the end of September of 2023.
00:57:58.000Since then, the Republicans have lost their majority because George Santos left and lost his seat, and Kevin McCarthy resigned, and so Republicans effectively have no majority anymore.
00:58:12.000And this aid package to Israel is now connected to the aid package to Ukraine, which is connected now to border security.
00:58:22.000And we talked about this mess, I want to say last week or two weeks ago, where Congress tried to pass a standalone Israel bill.
00:58:32.000It got shut down because Biden says, I'm not going to let you get the urgent, uncontroversial aid to Israel through so that you can
00:58:50.000So we have to come to an agreement on both of them.
00:58:52.000You're not going to be able to get what you want and leave us to negotiate with you on Ukraine.
00:58:59.000So the prospect of a standalone bill has been shut down.
00:59:03.000And so now the Israel aid is only going to come when Republicans and Democrats come to an agreement on a trade for border security, which there's basically no progress on since the Senate bill that they've been working on for months got shot down.
00:59:19.000And there's also no agreement on Ukraine aid.
00:59:22.000So Israel quite literally does not have the money.
00:59:43.000They literally need the injection of American support.
00:59:47.000Now so does Israel, so they can take the fight to Hezbollah.
00:59:50.000They're going to need precision-guided ammunition.
00:59:52.000They're going to need, like I said, a replenishment of the Iron Dome.
00:59:57.000And so that entails getting the aid from Congress, which entails making a deal on Ukraine and border, which has eluded Congress since, like I said, end of September of 2023.
01:00:10.000But once that aid clears, and it's going to happen eventually, Israel will be armed and they'll have a free hand to go in and take the fight to Hezbollah, which they'll most likely do.
01:00:22.000And when they do, it's going to be, as this Biden source said, we have no idea.
01:00:29.000It's completely unpredictable how much it could escalate after that.
01:02:41.000The war in Iraq was a result of Israeli subversion, of neocon subversion.
01:02:46.000That was trillions of dollars, not the paltry 3 or 4 billion per year that we give Israel, or the 10 million we gave them after October 7th.
01:02:58.000That's not why the Israeli Jews or the Zionist Jews are against the foreign aid.
01:03:03.000They say that in the future, foreign aid to Israel with a progressive left-wing government in America will be used to leverage an expansionist right-wing Israeli government.
01:03:16.000What I mean by that is that the Jews recognize which way the political winds are blowing,
01:03:21.000They anticipate that a Super Obama will be elected in 2030, who is so gassed up on the anti-colonial juice, the anti-colonial ideology, that the future Super Obama is going to say, you know what?
01:03:38.000From a left-wing perspective, they're going to say, you know what?
01:03:41.000Israel has to stop bombing Palestinians or we're not going to give them any more money.
01:03:47.000And if Israel is dependent on America, they're going to have to work with Super Obama.
01:03:53.000And they're going to have to say, stupid fucking Goyim.
01:04:17.000If we give a foreign country all this money and it becomes a necessary part of their budget, then they gotta do what we say.
01:04:23.000That was always how it was supposed to work.
01:04:25.000Never, in fact, how it ever worked with Israel.
01:04:28.000But there's a prospect that it could work that way in the future with an ideologically charged left-wing regime in America.
01:04:36.000Which clashes with an ideologically right-wing militant government in Israel under Netanyahu or under Bennett or Gallant or whoever it's going to be in the future.
01:04:48.000That is why they want an end to foreign aid.
01:04:50.000Because they recognize that what is happening right now in the United States is an existential threat to Israel.
01:05:32.000But they can see which way the arrow is pointing, the future.
01:05:36.000Which is those people protesting at Harvard are going to graduate and be in the State Department.
01:05:40.000And those people that are in the administration today are going to be running it tomorrow.
01:05:45.000And these protests in the streets are going to get bigger and louder, and they're going to create pressure against the government.
01:05:51.000And a future government will buckle under domestic political pressure, and probably because they're ideologically aligned, and they will demand that Israel stop its actions.
01:06:04.000So right, and that's playing out right now.
01:06:07.000Israel looks at Biden and they're like, man, this guy better pull through.
01:06:12.000This guy better tank his election in 2024, lose Michigan because these people are protesting by supporting us.
01:06:20.000But they know that time's about to run out.
01:06:22.000Biden, you know, he is going to die and he's going to, and along with him, is going to go that old Democrat party that was subservient to Israel.
01:06:30.000It's going to give birth to a far more radical, populist, non-white, leftist regime that will hold them back, that will be willing to hold them back.
01:06:54.000The Jews say, we repudiate your foreign aid because it's gold in handcuffs.
01:06:59.000We're getting all this money, but at what cost?
01:07:02.000We're getting all this money, but if we become reliant on it, we will be able to be leveraged and not have our full maneuverability, not have our full freedom of action.
01:07:13.000So the Jews are put in that position now where they are at the mercy of this aid package in Congress which is being held hostage by Ukraine liberals and border hawk Republicans and they're saying, can't you stupid goyim just make an agreement and give us the missiles?
01:07:29.000That's not really... that's more like a Ben Shapiro evil like demon.
01:07:33.000Can't you stupid goyim just come to an agreement and give us... that's more like Jewish.
01:07:39.000They're saying, you stupid goyim, give us our money.
01:07:43.000And if you can't give us our money, then we don't want it!
01:07:45.000You know, we need to be able to prosecute our own wars independently.
01:07:50.000So that's the last shoe to drop, is when Rafa gets invaded and the aid package comes through, then they're gonna do whatever they want.
01:07:58.000But then, eventually, they're gonna say, we don't want your aid because your aid is being used to control us, which would be good for Washington, but bad for them.
01:08:25.000Because the Jews still control America.
01:08:28.000And what do you think is going to happen when Israel bombs Iran?
01:08:31.000When Israel shoves our money back up our asshole, and they bomb Iran in 10 years, do you think Iran is going to look at the United States and say, oh, you don't give foreign aid anymore.
01:10:05.000They wrote them because they're litigious and they went to law school because they are a rabbinical race and they've been writing bullshit laws for 2,000 years and they're gonna throw them in your face just like they threw them in Jesus's face.
01:10:19.000They went up to Jesus and they're like, go ahead, stoner.
01:10:49.000But the details suggest they're still very much not aligned with us.
01:10:55.000The devil is in the details because the Jews wrote them there, because they're all rabbis, because they're Pharisees.
01:11:02.000That's their Pharisaical tradition, is putting the devil in the legal details and then throwing it in the Goyim's face, throwing it in Jesus' face, throwing it in the face of honest Christians and murdering them for pleasure, for pure pleasure and spiritual profit, what they perceive to be a spiritual profit.
01:12:29.000All right, okay, but let's yeah, yeah, all right, but let's take a look at the super chats We're getting a lot of mileage out of that joke Okay, let me Pull this up Excuse me get my wah-wah
01:16:17.000And I'm not a third worldist because third worldism is fundamentally about the independence of third world nations from great power politics.
01:16:54.000Sovereignty is a completely modernist concept.
01:16:56.000It comes with the printing press, which created a modern bureaucratic state which allowed for
01:17:02.000Standardization and centralized control over a large jurisdiction and a modern military and impersonal institutions and they don't have that in Africa.
01:17:14.000I'm sorry, they don't have any of that in Africa.
01:17:16.000They don't even have a written language.
01:18:15.000So I'm not, I'm in no way a third worldist.
01:18:17.000I don't give a shit about any of them and I don't give a shit about their sovereignty or their made-up fake countries or their non-civilization.
01:18:26.000But they are a playground for the great powers.
01:18:32.000So Russia, when you say supporting Russia, Russia's not third world, never has been.
01:18:37.000Soviet Union was second world, not third world.
01:18:42.000And Russia's always been a great power.
01:18:44.000Russia was a great power in the Concert of Europe, Russia's a great power in World War I, World War II, Cold War, and they're a great power now because they have a nuclear arsenal and a serious conventional military and missile arsenal and industry and military-industrial complex.
01:19:01.000In no way, shape, or form is Russia a third world.
01:19:57.000I'm not shilling for Khomeini, I'm shilling for Khamenei.
01:20:01.000And anyway, I support, I don't shill because I'm not getting paid, I support Khamenei and Lula because they're anti-Israel and Israel is standing in the way of American sovereignty.
01:20:12.000I support Xi and Putin, they are not third world.
01:20:15.000I support them because they are peer competitors or close to peer competitors to the United States.
01:20:22.000And the only way that we will get an America first regime is if
01:20:26.000We transitioned due to external pressure.
01:24:49.000Let's just focus on defeating the Soviet Union and cutting pipeline deals with Iraq and Israel and... No, we're not falling for all that again.
01:24:59.000And by the way, Jews and Zionists are all around us.
01:28:10.000Based in on sent $5, do you think the tattletales at Media Matters who are assigned to watch your show ever feel guilty when you make them laugh?
01:28:41.000I don't, did he say that he hates nationalism?
01:28:43.000I think he said that he is, he didn't mean, that was in the context of denazification and the premise was basically that Putin isn't against so-called Nazis in Ukraine, he's against Ukrainian nationalism.
01:28:57.000So I don't, I don't know what the exact quote was.
01:28:59.000I don't think he said Putin hates nationalism.
01:29:02.000I think he just meant that Putin was crushing Ukrainian nationalism.
01:29:07.000But I would have to return to the quote.
01:29:08.000Russia's not nationalist because they're an empire.
01:29:40.000He said, oh, John Stewart, or whatever he's calling himself, because he's a Jew named John Leibowitz, and he also said, oh, Condoleezza Rice, who had a very interesting mentor, and her mentor is this Czechoslovakian Jew, Neocon.
01:30:59.000People don't come and say, oh, I wish you were more mature.
01:31:02.000They say things like, you're a fucking fed, and you're gay, and you're short, and you're a fucking spic, and you're a grifter, and you're a liar, and you're short, and you're a fucking genetic freak, because you're an in vitro baby, and you're a terrible boss, you don't pay your staff, and you lie about this.
01:31:20.000And your audience is fake, and you know, and Milo has the tapes, and Louis Theroux has the tapes, and everyone has the tapes, and you're being blackmailed.
01:31:29.000It's like, basically they think I'm the devil.
01:31:34.000To say, if you have nothing nice to say, you don't have one nice thing to say about somebody, then clearly you're just a seething bitch, and you just have an ax to grind against a person.
01:31:55.000If Catholics can acknowledge, I brought a lot of people back to the Catholic Church, I try to be sincere and honest as much as possible on my show, and then they say, oh, well, you know, but he's imperfect.
01:32:06.000Yeah, well, but he swears or, you know, maybe they don't like the humor.
01:39:43.000Well, no, I'm thinking of somebody else now.
01:39:45.000Yoram Izzoni's National Conservatism backed by Peter Thiel.
01:39:49.000Peter Thiel speaks at National Conservatism Conference alongside Ron DeSantis, who received support from the Adelsons, alongside J.D.
01:39:58.000Vance, who got funded by Thiel, alongside Paul Gottfried, who started a truce with the Straussians a couple of years ago.
01:40:07.000And so now Saurabh Shwarma founding the personnel for the
01:40:11.000Second, Trump White House is in bed with Yoram Hazony, dual citizen Israeli backed by Hertog and Thiel, and in their organization, and then they'll be picking the staff for Trump too.
