Hezbollah's leader, Sayyed Nasrallah, delivers a speech on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the wake of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, and the reaction to it. Also, the United States and Israel agree to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, but what will happen after the offensive is over? And what will that mean for the future of the Gaza Strip after the Israeli operation is over, and who will rule there after the operation is finished? And how will that happen if there is no ceasefire between Israel and Hamas? And who will take over the situation in Gaza after the Israel offensive is finished, and what will become of the situation there after Israel finishes its mission in Gaza? And is there still time to negotiate a cease-fire between the two sides? All that and much more on this episode of America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes and his co-host, Efraim, on this week's episode of the show. Today's episode features: - The reaction to the Hezbollah leader's speech. - What did Hezbollah's leader Sayyid Hezbollah do in response to Israel's attack on the mosque in the aftermath of his speech? - Who's to blame for the lack of a ceasefire between the Israeli and Palestinian response to the Israeli attack?

00:00:42.000 We're good.
00:01:31.000 We're good.
00:03:00.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
00:03:07.000 It's going to be only America first. 0.99
00:03:12.000 America first.
00:03:16.000 The American people will come first once again.
00:03:28.000 From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. 0.99
00:03:43.000 America first.
00:07:39.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:07:40.000 You're watching America First.
00:07:42.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:07:43.000 We have a great show for you today.
00:07:47.000 Lots to get into, lots to discuss.
00:07:49.000 It's going to be a big show.
00:07:51.000 Our featured story today, we're talking about this speech by the leader of Hezbollah, Nasrallah, and he gave a
00:08:01.000 Huge, highly anticipated address, his first speech since the Al-Aqsa flood operation began last month, and it was pretty disappointing.
00:08:13.000 Not gonna lie, I didn't like it.
00:08:16.000 Not happy about it.
00:08:17.000 Everybody was expecting that he would declare war on Israel on behalf of Hezbollah, but he didn't.
00:08:25.000 He didn't declare war on Israel or escalate the conflict at all.
00:08:32.000 And everybody's analyzing the speech.
00:08:34.000 All our guys, all the pro-Palestinian people, all the Muslims, they're all coping really hard right now.
00:08:42.000 They're like analyzing the speech.
00:08:44.000 They're like, no, you don't get it.
00:08:46.000 This was a really surgical speech.
00:08:49.000 It wasn't surgical.
00:08:51.000 There's no declaration of war. 0.99
00:08:53.000 This sucks. 0.99
00:08:56.000 And honestly, 0.99
00:08:59.000 It's over.
00:08:59.000 Israel won.
00:09:01.000 It's done.
00:09:01.000 They perfectly outmaneuvered the forces of Islam, which is a huge disappointment.
00:09:13.000 They let us down.
00:09:14.000 So I'll tell you what I mean by that.
00:09:17.000 We'll talk all about the speech and that situation and
00:09:25.000 Related to that, we'll also be talking about Secretary Antony Blinken's visit to Israel.
00:09:30.000 They very quickly put out a statement this afternoon, or rather this morning, and said that the United States stands with Israel and they've secured humanitarian relief for Gaza.
00:09:44.000 Israel has said there will be no ceasefire.
00:09:48.000 And maybe the biggest story of all is where all of this is leading, which is if there is no ethnic cleansing of Gaza completely, you're going to be hearing a lot of talk soon about the day after.
00:10:05.000 You'll hear that phrase a lot, the day after.
00:10:08.000 And this is the contingency plan.
00:10:11.000 What happens after this operation is over and the Hamas leadership is decapitated?
00:10:18.000 Who will govern the Gaza Strip?
00:10:22.000 And what is that going to look like when Israel's operation is finished? 0.54
00:10:26.000 That's the discussion now.
00:10:29.000 And the United States and Israel are discussing and
00:10:33.000 They're suggesting that there will be a coalition Arab government or maybe a United Nations peacekeeping force and they will administer Gaza after Hamas is gone and it's going to be all the Abraham Accords countries.
00:10:50.000 So like Morocco and Bahrain and the Emirates and Qatar.
00:10:56.000 They say Turkey may be involved as well, Jordan, and all these Arab countries are going to come together, at least this is what the United States is talking about at this point, and they're going to build a government there.
00:11:10.000 But what this suggests is that there will be no confrontation between the Muslim world and Israel, which is honestly what we need. 0.67
00:11:21.000 We need Israel to be confronted with some finality. 0.98
00:11:25.000 By Iran and Syria and the axis of resistance in Iraq and Yemen and Lebanon.
00:11:33.000 We need that to happen.
00:11:34.000 That would be good.
00:11:35.000 That would be good for us.
00:11:37.000 That would be good for the people on the opposite side of the Talmudic Jewish Israel. 0.99
00:11:46.000 But it's not, it looks like it's not going to happen.
00:11:48.000 The Israeli offensive is moving forward slowly.
00:11:51.000 Just enough humanitarian aid is trickling in to
00:11:56.000 Satisfy the Muslims to placate them. 0.99
00:12:01.000 And so because it's going so slowly and because they're letting in this trickle of aid, it seems like they're avoiding any kind of miscalculation, any tripwire being set off which would trigger Hezbollah or Iran entering the conflict.
00:12:20.000 And anyway, so we'll get into all that.
00:12:22.000 I don't want to rush into it, but basically
00:12:25.000 What it appears like at this stage is that they're lowering the temperature significantly.
00:12:33.000 They're slowing it down, which is bad.
00:12:36.000 They're slowing it all down.
00:12:39.000 They slowed it down.
00:12:40.000 They're lowering the temperature in order that Israel can achieve its operational goals without anything else major happening, without any major event.
00:12:52.000 or retaliation from the other side because as you know we've talked for weeks about this this chain reaction of events that can be set in motion how both sides are moving their pieces on the board to create this elaborate
00:13:08.000 That to me is the big development here.
00:13:10.000 And this speech cements that.
00:13:31.000 Nasrallah hasn't talked since the 7th.
00:13:34.000 He comes out.
00:13:35.000 He doesn't declare war.
00:13:37.000 And he signals that Hezbollah is extremely disciplined and that it's calibrating its actions very carefully with Israel in sort of a reciprocal way.
00:13:51.000 And so, no one's jumping the gun here.
00:13:53.000 Hezbollah's not going to intensify their involvement.
00:13:57.000 Neither is the Islamic Resistance, these other proxies from Iran.
00:14:01.000 Iran isn't. 0.96
00:14:04.000 And if that's the case, it means that the Gaza War will continue until Israel achieves all its goals. 0.90
00:14:10.000 No one will stop them. 0.99
00:14:12.000 So, this sucks. 0.99
00:14:14.000 This really sucks. 0.99
00:14:16.000 Big letdown. 0.99
00:14:17.000 Big disappointment.
00:14:18.000 I rescind my support for Hezbollah. 0.94
00:14:21.000 You know, a few days ago I was like, you know, hell yeah, I'm with Hezbollah.
00:14:26.000 They got 100,000 soldiers.
00:14:26.000 They got 100,000 missiles pointed at Israel.
00:14:28.000 Let's go.
00:14:32.000 And then their leader comes out and says, we're already at war with Israel.
00:14:37.000 No, you're not! 1.00
00:14:38.000 This is the stupidest, suckiest, dumbest war ever, and I fucking want my money back, okay? 1.00
00:14:46.000 And I want my money back. 1.00
00:14:48.000 I paid the cost of admission here.
00:14:51.000 I paid to see some spectacle.
00:14:53.000 I paid to see Israel confronted by the Muslim world. 1.00
00:14:56.000 And you know what?
00:14:57.000 It's not happening.
00:14:59.000 It just isn't happening.
00:15:00.000 So I rescind my support.
00:15:03.000 They're not gonna do it.
00:15:04.000 I rescind my support for the Supreme Leader.
00:15:07.000 They're not doing it.
00:15:10.000 And this blows.
00:15:12.000 So anyway, so we're gonna get into all that.
00:15:15.000 Maybe you don't really get it yet, but I'll explain what I mean in great detail during this show.
00:15:23.000 But this is a pretty big inflection point.
00:15:26.000 This is a pretty momentous event in the conflict.
00:15:31.000 Because, like I said, for the first three weeks we were waiting for the ground invasion to begin, and then it did.
00:15:38.000 And we've been monitoring that since last Friday, so full week now.
00:15:44.000 And then, once the ground incursion began,
00:15:48.000 We were monitoring very closely to see what the response would be from the key players on the other side, from Hezbollah, from the Islamic Resistance, from Iran.
00:15:58.000 Now we know.
00:16:00.000 Now we know, and it was a very precise, very careful message, but we know now that both sides have been able to stave off an escalation or any kind of freelancing or miscalculations, and so
00:16:19.000 No tripwires have been set off.
00:16:21.000 No widening, no escalation.
00:16:23.000 That's what we know at this point.
00:16:25.000 And if it hasn't happened by now, and if it didn't happen this morning, then it probably won't happen.
00:16:31.000 So we move now to the next phase, which is Israel is going to complete their takeover of North Gaza.
00:16:38.000 The next thing that we're going to watch is whether they will take over the South.
00:16:43.000 Because they haven't defined their objectives in any concrete way.
00:16:46.000 They've said they're going to eliminate Hamas.
00:16:49.000 That's it.
00:16:50.000 So they've evacuated North Gaza. 0.58
00:16:52.000 They're now moving towards Gaza City.
00:16:55.000 And so we wait for the fulfillment of that part of their tactical objective and then it remains to be seen whether they will continue the advance or whether they will begin to
00:17:09.000 Talk about some sort of coalition administration that will take the reins from Hamas and the whole operation will be over. 0.81
00:17:17.000 And then we can talk about the aftermath.
00:17:19.000 But that's really where we are.
00:17:20.000 So, that's just this little brief intro here.
00:17:24.000 But we'll get into all that.
00:17:26.000 Before we do, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:17:33.000 Also, follow me on Rumble.
00:17:35.000 And make sure you follow me on both because all the replays are on Rumble.
00:17:40.000 So we have a year's worth of shows on Rumble and a lot of the monologues are cut up and clipped and posted if you don't like, if you don't want to watch the whole thing, you can watch a 20 minute segment.
00:17:53.000 So check it out on Rumble and Cozy.
00:17:56.000 Also follow me on Telegram, the link is down below.
00:18:00.000 And with that, we'll dive in.
00:18:03.000 It's a morning show.
00:18:04.000 It's so funny, you know, last night I told you, I said, two nights ago, I said, hey, this show is going to be on time.
00:18:14.000 And it's later than it was on Monday, somehow.
00:18:17.000 And the show is now happening 15 hours after the scheduled start time, which is a little ridiculous.
00:18:29.000 But we're here.
00:18:29.000 But we're here, we're doing the show, and I don't know what my plans are tonight.
00:18:34.000 I may do a show tonight, I may not.
00:18:36.000 At this point, the show is so late, it may be easy to do it now at 9 o'clock, because now, 9 o'clock PM,
00:18:44.000 Closer on the on the opposite side, you know now that I'm 15 hours late.
00:18:50.000 The show is now closer to Being 9 p.m.
00:18:53.000 The next day the 9 p.m.
00:18:55.000 The day that the show is actually supposed to happen So maybe the show has this sort of migrated and it will line up perfectly like like a solar eclipse You know the orbit of the show
00:19:10.000 Which is completely different than the orbit of the Moon around the Sun, or the rotation of the Earth.
00:19:17.000 It's now lining up in a different way, and now the show's start time will align with 9pm the next day.
00:19:26.000 It will be a full 24 hours late, which will make it not late at all.
00:19:31.000 It'll make it early.
00:19:33.000 Soon the show will be 7 p.m., 8 p.m., 9 p.m.
00:19:37.000 and the cycle will start all over again.
00:19:38.000 Another seven-year cycle will initiate and we'll go all the way around.
00:19:43.000 So anyway, anyway!
00:19:47.000 But let's get into it.
00:19:48.000 Let's dive into the show.
00:19:52.000 It's a very, very important day in the conflict and so I'll give some background first.
00:20:00.000 So you can understand the significance of today, because this is now a totally new chapter in the conflict.
00:20:09.000 This is a major inflection point in the war in Gaza.
00:20:14.000 And so, we have to go back to the beginning.
00:20:19.000 As you know, on October 7th, Hamas, in the Gaza Strip, invaded Israel.
00:20:25.000 And it's now been confirmed by the speech today by the leader of Hezbollah, Nasrallah, that there was no involvement or even prior knowledge of Iran or Iran's proxies.
00:20:40.000 So the speech today and other statements that have been made by the Supreme Leader of Iran have confirmed that Hamas acted secretly and independently
00:20:51.000 We're good.
00:21:07.000 Without the order or instruction or even warning Iran or the other forces and they invaded Israel. 0.90
00:21:15.000 And we know now that the purpose of this, as Nasrallah said today, is that it was by Palestinians for Palestinians.
00:21:25.000 This was meant to upset the normalization of Israel among its Arab neighbors. 0.73
00:21:33.000 The background to the Al-Aqsa flood operation on October 7th is that the Biden administration with Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, had been building on the Abraham Accords under the Trump administration to normalize ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
00:21:52.000 And a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel would effectively integrate Israel into the Middle East. 0.68
00:21:59.000 If Saudi Arabia normalizes, this is a huge domino to fall.
00:22:04.000 All the Gulf states would follow.
00:22:06.000 Presumably Iraq may follow. 1.00
00:22:09.000 Other countries would follow.
00:22:11.000 And what this would do is rather than Israel being isolated since 1948, it would then isolate Iran and Syria.
00:22:22.000 They would be the only two countries in the region that would not have this formal or de facto peace and formal relations with Israel.
00:22:34.000 So the Palestinians, and specifically Hamas in Gaza, invaded Israel to blow up the normalization of Israel because if all these countries normalize ties with Israel without a resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, it effectively means that Palestine no longer has a seat at the table. 0.61
00:22:55.000 If Israel has a patron in the United States,
00:22:59.000 And if all of Israel's Arab neighbors have now accepted Israel into the community of nations in the region, then the Palestinian question becomes a domestic concern of the Jewish state in Tel Aviv.
00:23:16.000 In other words, it's no longer the concern of Egypt or Saudi Arabia or Jordan.
00:23:24.000 There will be no intervention from powerful or rich Arab states, and those Arab states can't use their leverage over Washington.
00:23:34.000 So the Palestinian question would then be left to the most maximalist and aggressive and expansionist Jewish government. 0.95
00:23:45.000 And when I say Jewish, I mean it's really a Jewish nationalist regime that's in control of the Israeli government.
00:23:53.000 And that would be it for Palestine. 0.93
00:23:55.000 If you leave it to the maximalist Jewish regime of Netanyahu in Israel, there will be no Palestinian state, they will have no leverage, they will have no seat at the table, they will not have powerful intervention or rather intercession from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, or anybody else, and that would be it. 0.79
00:24:16.000 That would close
00:24:17.000 We're good.
00:24:29.000 So that is what set the stage for the conflict as has now been confirmed.
00:24:34.000 Iran didn't instruct this and apparently Hezbollah had nothing to do with it.
00:24:40.000 It was Hamas acting independently to disrupt the normalization and they did so striking out at Israel to basically put the Palestinian question back on everybody's radar.
00:24:51.000 Everyone was ready to move past.
00:24:54.000 The Palestinian question including Washington including Riyadh including all the Arab countries they were ready to let Israel finish them off. 0.91
00:25:05.000 And when the Palestinians attack Israel, it prevents any of that from going forward. 0.94
00:25:10.000 Now, the Saudi-Israel deal is on ice and may never happen.
00:25:15.000 It certainly won't happen anytime soon.
00:25:18.000 It's even disrupted some of the Abraham Accord relationships.
00:25:22.000 Bahrain, which normalized ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords in 2020, has now severed diplomatic ties with Israel.
00:25:29.000 So, not only will it not go forward, it's actually moving backwards.
00:25:33.000 That was the purpose of it. 0.72
00:25:35.000 So they went in, they killed all the Israelis, they shocked the world. 1.00
00:25:39.000 Israel very quickly introduced a blockade and they were prepared to invade Gaza approximately one week after the initial al-Aqsa flood operation.
00:25:51.000 That was stalled by the United States and by Hezbollah. 0.96
00:25:55.000 Hezbollah mobilized on the border of Israel.
00:25:59.000 And Iran threatened that its other proxies in Iraq and Yemen may strike Israel if Israel went in and killed lots of civilians.
00:26:07.000 So this is where we talk about... That's sort of the background.
00:26:11.000 And then after the Al-Aqsa flood operation, we saw all these pieces being moved into the region.
00:26:19.000 To introduce balance and counterbalance.
00:26:22.000 Hamas invaded Israel and they basically achieved their mission on day one because they disrupted the integration and the normalization of Israel in the region. 0.91
00:26:32.000 They made the entire world look at Palestine. 0.98
00:26:35.000 So mission accomplished.
00:26:37.000 But then the war began and Israel threatened to move in and absolutely wipe out Hamas
00:26:44.000 And to decimate the civilian population and infrastructure in Gaza as well.
00:26:51.000 They were stopped from doing this because Hezbollah, which has 100,000 fighters, four times as many as Hamas, and 150,000 missiles, and potentially an arsenal that we don't even know how sophisticated it actually is, they threatened to mobilize on Israel's northern border.
00:27:11.000 And Iran, who sponsors Hezbollah, threatened that its proxies in Iraq, which is a popular mobilization force, and its proxies in Yemen, which is the Houthis, that they may also join the fight and attack Israel.
00:27:25.000 Israel can defeat Hamas in Gaza.
00:27:28.000 It would be very bloody and very costly and would take a long time.
00:27:33.000 But they can do it because Hamas is not numerically significant and their technical capabilities are not sophisticated. 0.71
00:27:42.000 They're entrenched, and that's their advantage, but ultimately they could not win a war against Israel. 0.58
00:27:48.000 It would take time and a lot of people would die, but Israel would win.
00:27:52.000 Israel cannot fight a two-front war against Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:27:58.000 And they also can't do it while missiles are raining down on them from Iraq and from Yemen.
00:28:03.000 Because all these proxies are armed with missiles, and Israel only has so many missiles in their Iron Dome system. 0.65
00:28:11.000 They only have so much of a capability to shoot down incoming projectiles.
00:28:16.000 They can't shoot down every Hezbollah, PMF, Houthi, Hamas rocket that heads to Israel.
00:28:24.000 Eventually, it would be a bombardment, and civilians would be killed, and infrastructure would be blown up.
00:28:30.000 So, Iran moves their pieces on the board and they prevent Israel from going in. 0.54
00:28:35.000 And that's really why Israel delayed their invasion.
00:28:38.000 It was not to secure humanitarian aid, as they said.
00:28:42.000 Israel delayed their invasion for two weeks.
00:28:46.000 They planned to go in on the 14th or 15th.
00:28:50.000 And they delayed it two more weeks after that, not because they wanted to give more time for Palestinians to evacuate North Gaza, but because they knew that they could not handle any kind of intervention from Hezbollah or from Iran's other proxies.
00:29:09.000 So they stalled in order for the United States to deploy their assets to the region.
00:29:14.000 So the United States put two aircraft carriers
00:29:17.000 In the Eastern Mediterranean.
00:29:18.000 They put more F-16 jets in the region.
00:29:21.000 They deployed 2,000 Marines.
00:29:23.000 President Joe Biden made a visit.
00:29:26.000 And all of this was to signal to Iran and to the proxies that if Iran or the proxies got involved that the United States would then attack those proxies and Iran.
00:29:37.000 And so this was the setup for the past two weeks, two to three weeks.
00:29:43.000 Basically from that initial delay
00:29:47.000 A week after the Al-Aqsa flood, this was the setup.
00:29:52.000 And this is where I was talking all about a tripwire for World War III. 0.79
00:29:56.000 With all of these checks and balances in the region, Israel going in on Hamas, Hezbollah going in on Israel, the United States coming in to deter Hezbollah, 0.57
00:30:08.000 That was the setup that could have resulted in a wide conflict that could have escalated very quickly.
00:30:15.000 Israel attacks Hamas, Hezbollah attacks Israel, Israel attacks Iran, Iran attacks Israel, the United States attacks Iran, China and Russia supply Iran, maybe the United States attacks Russia and China.
00:30:27.000 That was the setup.
00:30:30.000 Over the past two to three weeks it's been a negotiation and it's been tactics and calibration and trying to work something out where the conflict doesn't go down that route.
00:30:44.000 That has been the last couple weeks of the show, is watching and waiting for Israel to go into Gaza with the threat of intervention from Iran and waiting to see what that would look like and how they were going to thread that needle.
00:30:58.000 And so last week, Israel finally went in.
00:31:01.000 Last Friday, Israel began the invasion of Gaza.
00:31:04.000 Which again, they had stalled because they were waiting for America to deploy its assets.
00:31:09.000 And they were essentially waiting for... They were waiting to get the confidence that Iran and Hezbollah would not intervene immediately.
00:31:19.000 They needed to make sure that when they go into Gaza, they do it in such a way 1.00
00:31:24.000 And in such a manner, with some degree of confidence, that it would not trigger an immediate attack, all-out attack on their northern border from Hezbollah.
00:31:35.000 And we know that because Israel evacuated their northern border.
00:31:38.000 They evacuated tens of thousands of people from the northern border, and Hezbollah did the same thing in southern Lebanon.
00:31:46.000 Hezbollah deployed its fighters to the front, Israel deployed its elite fighters to the northern border, not to Gaza.
00:31:55.000 And both sides did this in anticipation of an all-out war along that border.
00:32:00.000 So Israel was waiting basically for two weeks to make sure that their incursion would not trigger an immediate all-out war on the northern border.
00:32:11.000 And so last week they began the invasion, but they did it very, very secretly and very quietly.
00:32:17.000 As many people reported, first Israel shut off the internet,
00:32:21.000 So that the people in Gaza could not communicate with the world or with each other. 0.99
00:32:27.000 Then they went in with the airstrikes, missile strikes, artillery.
00:32:33.000 Then they went in with the armor and with the infantry.
00:32:36.000 And over the past week, they have slowly and surgically taken Gaza slice by slice. 0.99
00:32:42.000 Very, very slowly.
00:32:44.000 And they've done that not just to minimize civilian casualties, but also, I think, so that they can watch the response from Hezbollah. 0.66
00:32:54.000 If they go in very, very slowly and very carefully, then they don't risk an all-out war.
00:33:03.000 They can be sort of...
00:33:06.000 Sensitive to any kind of reaction from Iran or the proxies.
00:33:11.000 And so that's been the situation for the last week.
00:33:13.000 We were watching and waiting to see what's Israel going to do in Gaza.
00:33:17.000 We got our answer last week.
00:33:18.000 They're going in slowly and it looks like they're coming into Gaza City from three fronts.
00:33:23.000 From the northwest, the northeast and from the south by cutting a line in the middle of the Gaza Strip to the sea.
00:33:31.000 We got our answer.
00:33:33.000 Then there was a speech planned by the leader of Hezbollah for this morning.
00:33:38.000 That brings us to today.
00:33:40.000 We're waiting to see what Israel did.
00:33:42.000 We found out.
00:33:43.000 Then all eyes were on Hezbollah.
00:33:45.000 Israel began its offensive.
00:33:47.000 It continues to kill civilians.
00:33:49.000 It is not permitting the 100 trucks of humanitarian aid per day into Gaza that the Gazans require and what was agreed to by Blinken and the UN and Netanyahu.
00:34:02.000 And so all eyes were on Hezbollah to see would they declare an all-out war against Israel with the other Iranian proxies in response to Israel's invasion of Gaza.
00:34:13.000 Because that's what all the rhetoric suggested.
00:34:15.000 The Supreme Leader of Iran and other Iranian proxies have said that if Israel continues to bomb Gaza, they would go in.
00:34:25.000 But Israel has continued to bomb Gaza.
00:34:28.000 And Iran's proxies have said that if Israel invades Gaza, then the proxies would go to war with Israel.
00:34:35.000 But Israel did invade Gaza last week.
00:34:37.000 So everybody was watching to see then what would Hezbollah declare today.
00:34:42.000 Many anticipated that the leader of Hezbollah would declare war.
00:34:47.000 But he didn't.
00:34:49.000 He came out today and said basically that they are already at war with Israel.
00:34:55.000 That their engagement with Israel constitutes a war. 0.54
00:35:02.000 And it's been very limited.
00:35:04.000 It's been very limited and very minor.
00:35:06.000 It's not an all-out war.
00:35:08.000 It's not an all-out offensive.
00:35:10.000 They're not using all their capabilities.
00:35:13.000 And yet they say that's what a war between Hezbollah and Israel looks like.
00:35:17.000 But that's really a cop-out.
00:35:20.000 And this is a story from the New York Times talking about the speech.
00:35:23.000 It says, quote, Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, told his followers on Friday that the group's battles with Israel along its northern border had tied up Israeli forces, giving a boost to Hamas in its fight with Israel in Gaza.
00:35:38.000 People across the Middle East have been anticipating Nasrallah's speech, his first public comments since Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on October 7th.
00:35:47.000 For indications of whether Hezbollah would pursue a full-on war with Israel, which would likely spark a regional conflagration.
00:35:56.000 Hezbollah, a Hamas ally that is also supported by Iran, is committed to the destruction of Israel.
00:36:03.000 Although Mr. Nasrallah did not discount the possibility of a wider war that would draw Hezbollah and other Iranian militias across the region, his general message was that Hezbollah was already doing enough.
00:36:17.000 He is a highly respected figure inside the Axis of Resistance, a network of Iranian-backed militias in several Arab countries that share an anti-American, anti-Israeli ideology and have come to coordinate their operations more closely in recent years.
00:36:32.000 A decision by Hezbollah to launch a full-on war with Israel would likely encourage attacks by its allies in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
00:36:41.000 As the Gaza death toll from heavy Israeli airstrikes and ground incursions that began last week has risen into the high thousands, Hezbollah and Israel have clashed along the Israel-Lebanon border, targeting each other's positions and killing combatants on both sides.
00:36:56.000 But analysts say that Hezbollah and Israel so far appear to be calibrating their actions to avoid setting off a broader war.
00:37:04.000 And so what has effectively happened here is that Hezbollah has blinked. 0.72
00:37:10.000 Both Iran and Hezbollah have totally backed off in this game of chicken.
00:37:18.000 They have threatened for weeks that if Israel keeps bombing Palestine, they will intervene.
00:37:23.000 If they don't open a humanitarian corridor, they will intervene.
00:37:26.000 If there's no ceasefire, they will intervene.
00:37:28.000 If they go in, they will intervene.
00:37:31.000 But Israel has done all of that. 0.94
00:37:34.000 They have bombed Gaza for four weeks now.
00:37:38.000 They have not allowed the requisite humanitarian aid to come through.
00:37:42.000 They have not
00:37:44.000 Accepted a ceasefire, nor have they been open to negotiating one.
00:37:49.000 And as of last week, they have invaded Gaza and raised the Israeli flag inside the Gaza Strip.
00:37:57.000 And now, the leader of Hezbollah gives the highly anticipated speech and says, Oh, war?
00:38:04.000 We're already at war.
00:38:06.000 We're already at war with Israel. 0.71
00:38:09.000 But it's not a war.
00:38:10.000 It's extremely limited and extremely low intensity.
00:38:15.000 It's small casualties and minor engagements.
00:38:21.000 It's not a full-scale war.
00:38:23.000 And he also sounded like he has not set any kind of parameters or conditions for Hezbollah to intervene in any kind of wider or fuller capacity.
00:38:36.000 So what this signals, we basically have our answer now.
00:38:40.000 That the conflict will not escalate.
00:38:43.000 We needed to see what Israel would do, ultimately what its response to the initial Al-Aqsa flood operation would be.
00:38:51.000 And the response is to totally occupy northern Gaza, so far. 0.57
00:38:57.000 That's what they're beginning to do.
00:39:00.000 Then we were looking for Hezbollah to see what their response to Israel's invasion would be.
00:39:06.000 And their response is effectively no response.
00:39:10.000 No escalation.
00:39:12.000 They're not declaring war.
00:39:13.000 They're extremely disciplined.
00:39:15.000 They appear to be matching what Israel is doing. 0.94
00:39:17.000 When Israel attacks military positions in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah responds in kind, proportionately, attacking military installations in northern Israel in a tit-for-tat, low-intensity way.
00:39:32.000 So there is no real response from the proxies or from Iran.
00:39:37.000 So what is this signal about the future?
00:39:39.000 Well, it means that apparently Iran and its proxies are going to allow Israel to take over northern Gaza.
00:39:48.000 Because that's what Israel is doing. 0.98
00:39:50.000 Now, Israel has not said what their full plans are for the Gaza Strip.
00:39:55.000 All they have said is that their objective is to eliminate Gaza. 0.54
00:39:59.000 Or rather, to eliminate Hamas.
00:40:01.000 Which they have not done, and I don't believe they'll be able to do that.
00:40:06.000 The leaders of Hamas are not even in Gaza.
00:40:09.000 And Hamas may be more popular than ever in Gaza.
00:40:14.000 So they've said they're going to eliminate Gaza.
00:40:16.000 We don't actually know concretely what that means.
00:40:19.000 Does that mean that Israel will occupy northern Gaza?
00:40:22.000 Or will they occupy all of Gaza? 0.87
00:40:24.000 Does it mean they will push all the Palestinians out of the region?
00:40:28.000 Or does it mean that they will just kill any political or military element inside of Gaza?
00:40:33.000 We don't know.
00:40:34.000 We don't know what the ultimate plan is in Gaza.
00:40:40.000 They have not said concretely or with any specificity what their real tactical objective is.
00:40:47.000 So it could be very big, it could be very small.
00:40:50.000 So for now what we do know, since they evacuated northern Gaza and since they're encircling it, is that they're going to take over northern Gaza. 0.83
00:40:58.000 We know that much.
00:41:00.000 So the next thing to watch for is once they take over northern Gaza, which apparently, again, Iran and the proxies will not oppose that, since that much is apparent and since Hezbollah and Iran have backed off, that signals that they are tacitly okay with this.
00:41:15.000 They're tacitly accepting that this will happen.
00:41:19.000 They are not attempting to deter Israel from doing that.
00:41:22.000 They are not confronting Israel over doing that.
00:41:26.000 Israel is invading northern Gaza, that is underway, and Hezbollah has effectively said that there will be no confrontation over this, although there may be one in the future, and they're making no effort to turn them around. 0.67
00:41:43.000 So the next thing to watch for is what happens after Israel secures Gaza City?
00:41:48.000 What happens after Israel secures northern Gaza?
00:41:52.000 Once that is completed, if Israel turns 0.98
00:41:56.000 and begins to advance south, then we'll have to turn our attention back to Iran and Hezbollah and see what their response to that will be because that will be a widening of the conflict in a certain way.
00:42:11.000 If Israel seeks to take over and potentially annex all of Gaza, that's very different from decapitating the leadership in North Gaza.
00:42:20.000 I think so.
00:42:44.000 Accepting all the refugees and administering potentially 2.3 million Palestinian Gazans inside of the Sinai Peninsula.
00:42:57.000 But that's later.
00:42:59.000 So that's where we are in the conflict right now, is that Israel is taking over northern Gaza and apparently everyone is going to sit back and watch them do it.
00:43:09.000 They're going to continue to attack American military bases in Iraq and Syria to put pressure on the United States.
00:43:16.000 They will continue the low-intensity, limited engagement on Israel's northern border.
00:43:25.000 But that's it.
00:43:28.000 And I said earlier that that's a big disappointment.
00:43:31.000 And here's why.
00:43:33.000 Because the endgame is that
00:43:36.000 Whatever the outcome is with Israel replacing Hamas, ultimately it seems that this is not going to change the fundamental calculus in the Arab-Muslim world.
00:43:53.000 That whether Israel takes over northern Gaza or the entire Gaza Strip,
00:43:59.000 Israel is going to use its leverage in Washington to force the United States to use its leverage among the Arab Gulf countries to go in and clean up Israel's mess. 0.97
00:44:11.000 And basically that process of integrating Israel will continue in the future.
00:44:18.000 It would seem that since Iran and all these proxies have backed off, 0.99
00:44:24.000 And since the Gulf countries are convening a council in two weeks talking about what comes next, what happens the day after Israel defeats Hamas in the Gaza Strip, they're paving the way to resume the Abraham Accords and for the Arab countries in the United States to clean up the refugees, administer some sort of 0.71
00:44:48.000 Replacement government in the Gaza Strip, which is run by some combination of the UN, the United States, and Egypt, or the Gulf countries.
00:44:59.000 And then that will close the chapter on Palestine.
00:45:03.000 And Israel will have won! 0.99
00:45:05.000 Israel retains their leverage over the United States. 0.70
00:45:08.000 They're not confronted.
00:45:09.000 They never back down.
00:45:10.000 They get everything that they want.
00:45:14.000 And then they turn their attention to their next target.
00:45:17.000 It would seem that they will not be challenged on any of this.
00:45:20.000 Not on the Gaza Strip.
00:45:22.000 Not when they occupy the West Bank.
00:45:24.000 Not over their occupation of the Golan Heights.
00:45:28.000 And all these Arab countries are going to then accept and integrate Israel into the community of nations there after all of that happens.
00:45:38.000 So, there may not be a dramatic change to the status quo after all.
00:45:43.000 That's the disappointment here.
00:45:46.000 In this situation, there could have been a real confrontation where the United States and Israel were both defeated.
00:45:54.000 Like we talked about a couple weeks ago, it was a big concern that there would be a world war over this.
00:46:00.000 By the same token, let's game it out.
00:46:03.000 Let's say that Hezbollah went all in against Israel in this speech.
00:46:08.000 Let's say that they declared war and Hezbollah went in. 0.93
00:46:11.000 Israel would be completely caught off guard.
00:46:15.000 They would be under a real existential threat, and it would draw the United States into the conflict, and it would draw Iran in as well. 0.87
00:46:22.000 Probably Israel would strike Iran, they would blow up its centrifuges and maybe its oil refineries, and the United States would intervene against Hezbollah in Lebanon and against Iran as well.
00:46:35.000 But this would severely diminish the United States because they could not win a long-term war against Iran if they couldn't defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan after 20 years.
00:46:47.000 And it started 20 years ago when the United States was at the peak of its power.
00:46:51.000 If they couldn't defeat Afghanistan, if they couldn't defeat Iraq, ultimately, they will not be able to defeat Iran now. 0.99
00:47:00.000 They will not be able to defeat the combined strength of Iran and all its proxies today. 1.00
00:47:05.000 And neither could Israel. 0.96
00:47:07.000 So if we game this out, maybe the United States has an aircraft carrier sunk by Iran.
00:47:13.000 Maybe there's significant casualties.
00:47:17.000 The United States can't do a ground invasion of Iran, and if they did, they might lose.
00:47:23.000 And so this would be a true cataclysmic, catastrophic military and strategic defeat of the United States and its ally Israel. 0.93
00:47:32.000 That would fundamentally change the world order forever.
00:47:36.000 That would be the last say for the American Empire.
00:47:43.000 And it would be costly for everybody.
00:47:45.000 It would be very costly for the Iranians, and for the Lebanese, and the Syrians, and Israel, and the United States.
00:47:51.000 It would be very bloody, and there would be a real risk of a nuclear war.
00:47:56.000 But on the other side of it, the United States would be greatly diminished.
00:48:00.000 And the blame would belong to Israel for dragging the United States into a conflict that totally diminished it and its position in the world stage. 0.71
00:48:12.000 But since that won't happen, it's almost like the status quo may be destined to continue for a very long time.
00:48:19.000 That Israel will get to do what it wants, and it will drag the United States along to back it up while it does those things. 0.90
00:48:28.000 What's happening right now is Israel is annexing Gaza while the United States is suppressing any kind of response from the entire Muslim world.
00:48:37.000 That's what's happening right now.
00:48:39.000 They're annexing Gaza, which normally would incite a pan-Muslim war against Israel.
00:48:46.000 But the United States is there purely to suppress that.
00:48:50.000 And we're unilaterally suppressing that while they achieve their aims.
00:48:55.000 And then, once they finish, the United States will use its bribery and its soft power to get all the Arab countries to come in and clean up the mess and accept Israel and integrate them into the region. 0.96
00:49:10.000 And Saudi Arabia and Egypt, they may be in China's orbit in the near future, but they'll do so accepting Israel. 0.79
00:49:17.000 So in other words, we lose them as puppets.
00:49:21.000 We lose them as clients of the United States.
00:49:25.000 We potentially lose them to China, or we're competing with China for them. 0.95
00:49:30.000 But their relationship with Israel is improved.
00:49:33.000 Israel's becoming richer from those relationships. 0.61
00:49:38.000 And so we wind up putting Israel in the best position they've ever been in from the point of view of land and from their relationships and lucrative trade and financial relationships with their neighbors and it's all come at the expense of us. 0.90
00:49:54.000 We will be blamed for guaranteeing this.
00:49:58.000 We will instill bad blood in the region for generations for doing this.
00:50:02.000 We lose potentially these clients to another superpower patron
00:50:09.000 In order to support Israel's ascension, and they'll be put in the center of a trilateral, three-way continental diplomatic, trade, and economic relationship.
00:50:28.000 So this is not good for the United States.
00:50:30.000 This whole situation has been very bad for us.
00:50:33.000 It's similar to Ukraine in that way.
00:50:37.000 In the sense that our support for Ukraine in the long run will alienate us from Western Europe.
00:50:42.000 Very much in the same way.
00:50:44.000 The only difference is that Ukraine will actually lose.
00:50:46.000 Ukraine will be the biggest loser, unlike Israel. 1.00
00:50:50.000 But our support for Ukraine has alienated us from France, and from Germany, and from Eastern Europe.
00:50:58.000 It has also weakened us.
00:51:00.000 The only difference is that Ukraine will not be in a better position.
00:51:03.000 They're not going to be in great shape.
00:51:05.000 It's a completely losing battle.
00:51:07.000 All we're doing is diminishing Russia. 0.86
00:51:09.000 That's the trade-off.
00:51:11.000 We're alienating our allies, and the trade-off is that we do get to degrade Russia's military a little bit. 0.65
00:51:20.000 In this situation though, we're propping up Israel and they're the big winners. 0.95
00:51:23.000 They win the grand prize, which is they're going to get that economic corridor.
00:51:27.000 They're going to get the Abraham Accords, which means that investment will pour in from Saudi Arabia and from the Emirates.
00:51:34.000 Very lucrative deals in this new Silk Road or this new Grand Trade Route that will connect Asia and Europe.
00:51:44.000 They will be virtually unopposed militarily from the Palestinians domestically or internationally across their border with their Arab neighbors.
00:51:56.000 And we have weakened our relationship with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, with the populations of these countries in order to achieve that for Israel. 0.70
00:52:08.000 So...
00:52:10.000 This is a very bad scenario and like I said at the beginning what Israel is doing is they're moving very slowly and very carefully keeping the temperature low. 0.75
00:52:19.000 The temperature was very high and things were moving very quickly four weeks ago and there was the chance that when things are moving quickly and when things are intense like this that
00:52:33.000 Some of the bluster and some of the rhetoric that's meant to deter conflict actually causes conflict.
00:52:39.000 When Hezbollah and when Iran make these profound threats about going to war with Israel, that's meant actually to contain Israel. 0.86
00:52:46.000 It's actually not meant to signal a willingness to destroy Israel.
00:52:51.000 All that is meant to do is to deter Israel through the threat of force. 0.84
00:52:54.000 But when things are moving quickly, and when things are intense, and when lots of civilians are dying, there's a chance that those threats can be transformed into strikes.
00:53:06.000 And so what Israel did by waiting weeks, and by moving in very slowly, is making sure that they can move in without anybody doing anything risky, without any of their adversaries actually
00:53:20.000 Foolishly striking Israel and creating a conflict that would be very costly for everybody involved And so they're slowly moving in and taking everything that they want In a way where it's predictable in a way where the Muslim countries have backed off some of the most extreme rhetoric and 0.88
00:53:47.000 And so now they're just going to do whatever it is they want to do. 0.79
00:53:50.000 Very bad situation.
00:53:51.000 So I'm very disappointed in Nasrallah.
00:53:53.000 I'm very disappointed in Iran. 1.00
00:53:55.000 Nobody will stop Israel. 0.94
00:53:57.000 That's really, that's the long and short of it.
00:54:00.000 Israel takes whatever it wants. 0.95
00:54:01.000 The Jews took over the mandate of Palestine. 0.77
00:54:04.000 They took sovereignty from the British and from the UN partition. 0.89
00:54:08.000 They kicked out the Palestinians. 1.00
00:54:11.000 They took a nuclear arsenal.
00:54:13.000 They're just taking the West Bank with settlements. 0.78
00:54:16.000 They locked up all the Gazans.
00:54:18.000 They set up Hamas. 0.99
00:54:19.000 They let Hamas kill them to justify them going in and taking the land.
00:54:24.000 They're gonna do it now. 0.99
00:54:27.000 And nobody seems to have the balls to confront them. 0.92
00:54:31.000 The United States won't leverage them. 0.97
00:54:33.000 Iran and Hezbollah won't challenge them. 1.00
00:54:36.000 So...
00:54:38.000 The situation continues to get worse and with each passing year the land of Israel grows and these contracts they have become more lucrative. 0.99
00:54:47.000 The investment that's going to come in from the Gulf States and from this IMEC corridor maybe that'll be delayed by some years or months but it will happen and it will be very lucrative from them for them and all that's going to happen is they're going to continue to strengthen their position so
00:55:08.000 The ultimate confrontation is deferred.
00:55:12.000 Thanks to Hezbollah and Iran. 0.97
00:55:14.000 Big disappointment.
00:55:16.000 I was cheering them on because I thought they would really do something, but they just won't.
00:55:20.000 They won't do it.
00:55:21.000 They won't make a move.
00:55:22.000 And that will be their doom.
00:55:26.000 If Israel's allowed to clean up all these Palestinians, and if they're allowed to neutralize all these Arab countries through the United States, 1.00
00:55:36.000 We're good to go.
00:55:47.000 But we'll have to wait now and see what happens in the next phase.
00:55:53.000 At this point, it's basically inert.
00:55:56.000 Israel will take North Gaza and we all just have to sit on our hands and wait and watch them do it while they kill as many people as they like. 0.95
00:56:03.000 Hospitals, refugee camps, it doesn't matter. 1.00
00:56:06.000 The United States will shovel the foreign aid money towards them.
00:56:12.000 And then once they finish, everyone's going to watch and see what Israel decides to take next.
00:56:17.000 Or if they're finished for now.
00:56:19.000 And then we'll wait and see if Hezbollah wants to act then. 0.56
00:56:22.000 We'll wait and see if they're gonna issue more empty threats, if they're actually gonna do something.
00:56:27.000 But right now, looks like they totally pussied out.
00:56:31.000 Lame. 0.78
00:56:33.000 What a disappointment. 0.58
00:56:34.000 And they all talk about it and they're all, you know, it's so crazy. 0.99
00:56:37.000 They're like, oh, Christians, the Christians are weak. 1.00
00:56:40.000 The Christians let their countries get taken over. 0.99
00:56:43.000 You're getting pushed around.
00:56:44.000 You guys have missiles and air defense and you got a million people ready to die for Allah. 0.99
00:56:51.000 And you just backed off.
00:56:52.000 They just totally backed off. 1.00
00:56:55.000 Gay. 0.98
00:56:56.000 We wanted to see something cool happen here, but it didn't happen.
00:57:03.000 Maybe another day, but I don't think so.
00:57:05.000 I don't think they have it in them.
00:57:06.000 I don't think they want it bad enough.
00:57:08.000 I don't think they have it in them to go to war with Israel.
00:57:12.000 They go and give a speech and say, Israel is so weak.
00:57:16.000 Really?
00:57:16.000 Then go to war with them!
00:57:19.000 Oh, you won't?
00:57:22.000 So, anyway.
00:57:25.000 That's that.
00:57:27.000 Giant, giant disappointment.
00:57:32.000 You'd think Hezbollah is hardcore. 0.93
00:57:36.000 Everybody talks about they pushed him out in the 80s.
00:57:39.000 They pushed him out in 2006.
00:57:40.000 Yeah, well, clearly they're not very confident in their abilities.
00:57:47.000 And I see all these Muslims on Twitter. 0.99
00:57:49.000 They're like, no, no, they didn't pussy out. 1.00
00:57:52.000 They gave a very precise and surgical speech. 0.98
00:57:55.000 He was very careful. 1.00
00:57:57.000 To lay out, and he didn't lay out shit. 0.99
00:58:00.000 Everyone expected him to declare war to destroy Israel, and that didn't happen. 0.99
00:58:06.000 The rest doesn't matter.
00:58:07.000 People say, well he's going to say this and he's going to say that, and oh, his comment on this was really interesting.
00:58:13.000 No, it's not interesting!
00:58:14.000 He didn't declare war on Israel! 1.00
00:58:16.000 So, you know, it's all shit, okay? 1.00
00:58:19.000 So the rest doesn't matter. 0.99
00:58:21.000 That's what we were expecting, that's what we were looking for, and it wasn't there.
00:58:26.000 So the rest of it doesn't matter.
00:58:29.000 Oh, he talked about the martyrs and he read a verse from the Koran.
00:58:32.000 Yeah, so does everybody on Twitter.
00:58:34.000 So is our friend Suleiman, you know?
00:58:39.000 But Suleiman doesn't have 150,000 missiles pointed at Israel.
00:58:45.000 So, yeah.
00:58:47.000 Lame speech. 0.79
00:58:49.000 They said in a word, we are going to stand back and watch as Israel takes northern Gaza and as they kill refugees and civilians.
00:58:58.000 And they're saying, well, we'll wait.
00:59:00.000 If we see something really bad, then maybe we might intervene.
00:59:04.000 Okay.
00:59:05.000 Can't wait.
00:59:06.000 I mean, what are we doing here?
00:59:07.000 What's even the point?
00:59:09.000 Why do we have Houthis and a popular mobilization force and Hezbollah?
00:59:14.000 I mean, what is the point of all this?
00:59:19.000 Lame.
00:59:21.000 What are we waiting for?
00:59:23.000 Honestly, what are we waiting for?
00:59:26.000 We're waiting for Iran to develop a nuclear missile?
00:59:29.000 I mean, maybe.
00:59:31.000 Pakistan's already got them. 0.99
00:59:36.000 So...
00:59:39.000 I'm disappointed.
00:59:41.000 I'm let down.
00:59:42.000 Nothing ever happens.
00:59:43.000 Thank God for Putin.
00:59:45.000 If it wasn't for Putin, nothing would ever happen.
00:59:47.000 At least Putin went in.
00:59:49.000 We hear all the time about China's gonna take Taiwan.
00:59:53.000 Oh, Nigeria and ECOWAS are gonna go into Niger and on and on and on. 0.97
01:00:01.000 Putin was the only one who had the balls to do it. 0.98
01:00:04.000 Putin just went in, man. 1.00
01:00:05.000 They're like, you can't do it.
01:00:07.000 There'll be a nuclear war.
01:00:09.000 But the United States will get involved.
01:00:11.000 And Putin said, I bet.
01:00:13.000 We'll go to war forever. 0.97
01:00:15.000 We'll go to war. 0.99
01:00:16.000 Oh, you took all our money?
01:00:17.000 We don't care.
01:00:19.000 McDonald's left the country?
01:00:21.000 We'll just change the name.
01:00:23.000 We'll change the name.
01:00:24.000 The quality will get better.
01:00:27.000 Russia has that dog. 0.69
01:00:28.000 Putin's got that dog in him.
01:00:30.000 He invaded, he put 100,000 troops on the border, and they weren't there just to tweet verses of the Koran. 0.99
01:00:36.000 They were there to kill Ukrainians. 1.00
01:00:40.000 They were there to go in and take land for Russia. 0.98
01:00:45.000 They were there to win a patriotic struggle.
01:00:49.000 Unlike Hezbollah. 0.93
01:00:50.000 Hezbollah's over there launching bottle rockets, tweeting verses of the Koran.
01:00:54.000 And if Israel keeps going, we're gonna do it. 1.00
01:00:59.000 If they launch one more bomb, I mean two more, three more bombs, then we'll go in.
01:01:05.000 Then we're coming in with the full might of Allah's army. 0.98
01:01:08.000 We just... Later, just not yet.
01:01:12.000 They haven't satisfied all the conditions.
01:01:16.000 So, I'm very disappointed.
01:01:19.000 I'm very unimpressed.
01:01:22.000 What are we waiting for?
01:01:23.000 A better life here?
01:01:42.000 Whatever.
01:01:43.000 Not my fight.
01:01:44.000 It's not my fight.
01:01:45.000 People say, well why don't you go fight there?
01:01:46.000 It's not my fight.
01:01:47.000 I'm not Lebanese.
01:01:48.000 I'm not Iranian.
01:01:51.000 I'm not one of these people that's talking about, you know, death to Israel and all that.
01:01:57.000 That's you guys.
01:01:58.000 That's you guys over there.
01:02:00.000 I'm in the fight over here.
01:02:03.000 So, yeah, I don't know, man.
01:02:06.000 They talk a big game, but they can't back it up.
01:02:09.000 And Ben Shapiro wins!
01:02:11.000 Ben Shapiro gets to tweet all day and say, Hezbollah is afraid of Israel.
01:02:16.000 And you know what? 1.00
01:02:17.000 It's like, we can't even say shit. 1.00
01:02:19.000 They won this. 1.00
01:02:21.000 Netanyahu and Shapiro, they all win. 0.98
01:02:23.000 Do you know how mad that makes me?
01:02:25.000 Do you know how smug they must be right now?
01:02:28.000 They're like, Hezbollah wouldn't dare mess with Israel. 0.90
01:02:31.000 It's like, yeah, because America has aircraft carriers there, but go off.
01:02:35.000 But they're right!
01:02:36.000 But they're right!
01:02:38.000 You just made Ben Shapiro so smug, this chicken hawk gets to tweet all day about how Israel's the bravest, mightiest, whatever.
01:02:47.000 So that's why it really bothers me now.
01:02:51.000 It's like you just gave the Jews, you emboldened them a million fold with this. 0.94
01:02:56.000 They backed off.
01:02:57.000 You can't threaten and then back off like this.
01:03:00.000 This is their Bud Light moment.
01:03:01.000 This is their red line.
01:03:03.000 This is their Barack Obama red line moment.
01:03:07.000 It's the end for Iran and the region. 0.99
01:03:09.000 Very disappointing.
01:03:11.000 Anyway, so that's that.
01:03:13.000 That's the latest.
01:03:15.000 But we'll be watching and we'll see what happens next.
01:03:18.000 I'm probably not going to cover the Gaza War as much after this because it's not hot anymore.
01:03:23.000 They've cooled it off to their advantage.
01:03:27.000 So the day-to-day is going to be very slow now.
01:03:29.000 Israel will be taking Gaza block by block, piece by piece, very slowly and carefully. 0.87
01:03:35.000 There is apparently no threat of escalation.
01:03:39.000 There is no threat of confrontation from Hezbollah and Iran.
01:03:43.000 We're good to go.
01:04:06.000 Multinational coalition.
01:04:10.000 But that's where we are now.
01:04:11.000 So, that's your Gaza War. 0.73
01:04:13.000 Boo! 1.00
01:04:14.000 This sucks! 1.00
01:04:17.000 Muslims talk a big game, but what's the story here, man? 1.00
01:04:23.000 Looks like they're just gonna lose this one.
01:04:24.000 Looks like they're just gonna take the L, and then once Israel's finished, Saudi Arabia is gonna patch it up with them, and they're gonna build their corridor, and the China money is gonna flow in there. 0.84
01:04:36.000 And Israel will become the richest country in the world and the protocols will be fulfilled.
01:04:41.000 It's literally that simple.
01:04:44.000 So, anyway, that's that.
01:04:46.000 I want to move on.
01:04:47.000 We're gonna take a look at our Super Chats.
01:04:49.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.
01:04:51.000 Are you disappointed?
01:04:54.000 Are you as disappointed as I am? 0.99
01:04:56.000 Because damn, I wanted to see something cool. 0.98
01:05:03.000 All right, but let's take a look. 0.98
01:05:05.000 We'll see what you guys have to say on all this.
01:05:08.000 Let me get set up with my Super Chats here.
01:05:18.000 But yeah, real bummer.
01:05:20.000 Okay.
