01:24:55.000But I've heard from so many of you, people have DM'd me on Twitter, replied to my tweets, getting emails, comments, superchats, everything.
01:25:09.000And the thing is, with the Groyper War, for those that weren't there the first time, when I did the first Groyper War back five years ago, it didn't actually even come from me.
01:25:38.000And he's a good guy and he went up there, really, he took the initiative of his own volition and asked a question about foreign aid to Israel.
01:28:04.000It was kind of just like the natural conclusion, I think, of what I've been saying for so many months and for years now.
01:28:12.000And so last night, I was like, let's just let's do it.
01:28:16.000Let's full send and let's flush it out.
01:28:19.000And it's just taken on a life of its own already.
01:28:23.000And I think that speaks to, one, the influence of this movement, but also to the widespread dissatisfaction that there is on the far right.
01:28:34.000So yeah, so I guess we're already into it.
01:28:38.000I guess we're going to move right on into the Groyper War 2 and some of the reaction and so forth.
01:32:54.000He said on the all-in podcast with the Silicon Valley tech billionaires that we should staple a green card to the foreign diploma of every student, which is so ironic because that's one of the things that the initial Groyper War was about.
01:36:54.000I'm not saying, hey, why are there so many Jews around?
01:37:00.000If they could commit to the same things, I mean, Stephen Miller, I've heard very bad things about him, but he could go in and do it.
01:37:08.000The purpose of this is to force him to live up, or his campaign, to live up to the principles of 16.
01:37:16.000And I want to read some of my posts from True Social in 2022 because I thought it was so on the money, and I think I may even post them on Twitter right now.
01:39:29.000I said in many ways, there's three more here.
01:39:34.000I said in many ways, the content of the 2024 announcement speech was not different than in 2016, although it was softer, weaker, less energetic, less memorable, less exciting.
01:39:45.000But all of those things aside, if you have the same message in 24, after everything that has taken place since 2016, then you have lost ground and momentum.
01:40:25.000I said with some minor tweaks, the speech that Trump gave yesterday could have been given in 2018 or 2020, and it could have been given by DeSantis or Pence.
01:40:34.000It was almost as if the last two years had not even happened.
01:40:38.000Virtually zero mention of social media censorship, vaccine mandates, election fraud, persecution of capital rioters, anti-white hatred.
01:41:56.000But if you tell them, yeah, but we're going to vote for you anyway, and we're going to pretend we don't care, then they're going to say, oh, okay, good.
01:42:05.000And then they're gonna go and talk to somebody else.
01:42:06.000They're gonna go and talk to a voter that isn't going to vote for Trump 100%.
01:42:10.000And that's back to the idea that I said earlier.
01:42:16.000After I made this announcement last night,
01:45:40.000And by the way, the only way that we can make them hear us is if we tell them we're not going to vote.
01:45:46.000If you go to the campaign and say, hey, I don't like the way you're running your campaign, but I'm going to vote for you anyway, and I'm going to shill for you on social media, then what exactly do they need from you?
01:46:28.000And there was a battle to decertify the results, to send an alternative slate of electors.
01:46:34.000And in the meantime, the GOP was campaigning for two Georgia Senate runoff races that were to take place in January, January 5th.
01:46:43.000And at the same time that the Republican Party was not backing Trump's election fraud claims, they were demanding that everybody show up and vote.
01:46:50.000And if they weren't, they were a traitor.
01:47:48.000And now here we are again in 24, all over again, just like the 2018 midterms, just like Leffler and Perdue, just like 2022 and Kevin McCarthy.
01:48:01.000Now here again, clearly it's not going right.
01:48:20.000It seems like it's being mismanaged, and it seems like the people on Trump's team are not really with him, and they're not really America first.
01:48:28.000And unlike—well, actually, unlike everybody else, but very much the same way that I've been doing in the past three or four cycles, I'm gonna withhold my vote.
01:49:47.000Do you notice how the goalposts have shifted?
01:49:49.000A few months ago, when I really started laying into Trump heavily, I was really criticizing Trump strongly, everybody said, shut up, stop criticizing, it's fine, it's going fine, and you're just purity spiraling.
01:55:56.000And if the Trump campaign can't win over the America Firsters, then the Trump campaign doesn't deserve to win.
01:56:03.000If the Trump campaign can't win over the loyalists from 2016, if they can't win over people who believe in the America First agenda, the people that are most loyal personally to Trump, then they shouldn't win.
01:56:16.000Because if that's the case, we know that Trump is not in control.
01:56:21.000If Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, two never-Trumpers, two election fraud deniers, two conservatard
01:56:32.000Moderates, if they're really in control, if that's who's running it and the America Firsters from the beginning are not welcome, if we don't get anything out of this campaign, then it should lose.
01:58:51.000The problem is with this Groyper War thing, I kind of want it to be the whole focus, but there's still other news going on.
01:58:56.000So we'll talk a little bit about Iran and then we'll get into our Super Chats.
01:59:01.000So our big story tonight is that, aside from our reaction so far from the Groyper War, our big story tonight is that we are not going to get
01:59:21.000And we covered this all throughout the week.
01:59:23.000Last week, this major escalation seems like it has totally disappeared from everybody's radar.
01:59:31.000But you might recall that at the beginning of the week, we were expecting an imminent breakout of a regional war in the Middle East.
01:59:39.000Iran was threatening that by Wednesday, this week, a couple days ago, there would be a major attack on Israel, bigger than the one that they launched in April.
02:00:11.000In the meantime, Israel has killed another commander of Hezbollah, launched more strikes into Syria, more strikes into Lebanon, and a new offensive in Gaza.
02:00:23.000And now, American officials are saying Iran may not even strike at all.
02:00:40.000The Biden administration has in recent days worked through diplomatic channels, bringing in its Middle East allies to lobby Tehran to consider moving forward with a military attack on Israel.
02:00:52.000They've warned Iran that a massive strike would only inflame tensions and risk a direct confrontation between the two countries.
02:00:59.000The administration has also urged Iran to rethink its reaction to the blast that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, because his death appears to be the result of a remote-controlled bomb that had been placed in his Tehran guesthouse in a covert operation, rather than as part of a larger attack.
02:01:17.000Which I don't really see how the two are all that different.
02:01:23.000Now, Tehran is increasingly on board with Washington's thinking, though it initially denied it.
02:01:29.000Both were granted anonymity to speak freely about sensitive intelligence assessments.
02:01:35.000officials have sent messages to Tehran through various intermediaries that if the blast that killed Hania was caused by a covert Israeli operation and did not kill Iranian citizens, then Iran should reevaluate its plan to launch a military attack on Israel.
02:01:52.000The officials said they do anticipate some kind of Iranian response to the Haniyeh killing, but that Tehran seems to have recalibrated and the U.S.
02:02:01.000does not expect an attack on Israel imminently.
02:02:04.000When asked by reporters whether the U.S.
02:02:06.000believed Iran had changed its mind, the National Security Council spokesperson, John Kirby, said he would not speak to specific intelligence, but that the Biden administration did not want to see an escalation.
02:02:19.000Washington received indications last week that Iran potentially would carry out an attack on Israel over the weekend.
02:02:49.000Talks have slowed in recent weeks in the wake of Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to Washington and his address to Congress, as well as the tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Hezbollah.
02:03:00.000Representatives of the United States, including CIA Director Bill Burns, and officials from Israel, Qatar, Egypt, met last week to try and iron out the outstanding disagreements between Israel and Hamas.
02:03:32.000Hezbollah denied responsibility, but Israel blamed them for it.
02:03:37.000And in retaliation for the death of so many civilians, although there's a lot of questions about what exactly took place, Israel launched two assassinations in Beirut and in Tehran.
02:04:42.000But it wasn't so clear how they killed Haniyeh in Tehran.
02:04:47.000Iran initially thought that it was an airstrike.
02:04:50.000Iran initially thought that Israel flew fighter jets or drones
02:04:55.000Or missiles, or something, all the way across Jordan, Iraq, into Iranian airspace, blowing up a building.
02:05:05.000The New York Times, however, reported, and the U.S.
02:05:08.000has insisted, that it was not an airstrike, but in fact, the Israeli intelligence hired a mercenary inside of Iran to plant an explosive inside of the guest house that Hania was staying in.
02:05:23.000And like I said, reading the article, I don't think it really matters.
02:05:29.000I suppose what matters is that if it was an airstrike, it would be far more severe.
02:05:35.000It would be riskier, it's bigger bombs, more potential for civilian casualties and collateral damage.
02:06:02.000If you can empathize, you can understand the difference.
02:06:06.000It would be far more terrifying as a civilian and a far greater strategic threat and challenge if Russian air power were in American airspace raining down fire than if intelligence operatives hired mercenaries and carried out a much more targeted limited strike.
02:06:24.000So it's still a violation of sovereignty.
02:06:35.000But it is much less severe, so they say, if, according to U.S.
02:06:41.000intelligence, it was a bomb, not an airstrike.
02:06:45.000Now we have to consider that if there was an airstrike, and as Iran was promising, it would have necessitated an all-out response from Iran.
02:06:56.000If Israel was bombing Iran from the sky and killing political leaders the week of the inauguration of their new president, Iran has to respond extremely forcefully.
02:07:06.000Because if Israel is under the impression that they can bomb Iran with impunity, that's a very dangerous and unacceptable posture for Iran to be in.
02:07:16.000So, that's why Iran uses this language.
02:07:19.000They say, well, we must reestablish deterrence.
02:07:21.000What they're saying is, if we don't punish Israel for bombing our territory, then
02:07:27.000Maybe Israel assumes that this is okay.
02:07:30.000Israel conducts airstrikes in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, all the time.
02:08:24.000And they were replying to Israel bombing an embassy in a foreign country.
02:08:29.000Israel targeted an Iranian consulate building in Damascus.
02:08:33.000So by the transitive property, if Iran does 300 slow-moving drones, crews, and ballistic missiles, telegraphed two weeks later, killing nobody, destroying nothing, after Israel bombs a consulate in Syria,
02:08:49.000If Israel bombs a building in Iran, the response has to be more severe.
02:08:56.000It has to be proportionally more severe and larger.
02:09:00.000But, if Iran does such a thing as they were promising, if Iran goes out and bombs Israel and actually kills people, then the United States knows that Israel will reply and bomb Iran.
02:09:16.000If Iran bombs Israeli military targets, or God forbid, civilian targets, if any number of people die, and if Iranian missiles or drones are actually hitting their targets, if they penetrate the shield, then it necessitates that Israel will respond.
02:09:33.000And it would instigate a war, or days of open, direct hostilities.
02:09:39.000And maybe it wouldn't necessarily lead to an all-out, total war.
02:09:46.000It would probably crash the economy because it would shut down trade and maybe oil.
02:09:51.000Oil would go through the roof, which would create inflation.
02:09:55.000And there's always the risk it could spiral out of control.
02:09:58.000But in order for Iran to reestablish deterrence, it would be risking a war.
02:10:04.000And at the minimum, there would be days of open and direct conflict, which is very destabilizing.
02:10:10.000So, the reason I bring all of this up is because in response to this Iranian threat, the United States acted very swiftly.
02:10:19.000I don't know if you remember this, but the New York Times was the first publication to print that the bombing in Tehran was a planted explosive, not an airstrike.
02:10:33.000The Iranians originally said it was an airstrike.
02:10:40.000The New York Times, right after the assassination, said, nope, Mossad planted explosives two months prior.
02:10:50.000Now, of course, the New York Times being American media, being an arm of the national security apparatus, has a vested interest in saying it was a bomb.
02:11:07.000If the United States is to hold Iran back from striking Israel and initiating three days of conflict or an all-out war, they need to do two things.
02:11:31.000And two, they need to allow Iran to save face.
02:11:35.000Those are the two things the American government has to do in order to restrain Israel, or rather, in order to restrain Iran and prevent Iran from retaliating.
02:11:47.000If there's no deterrent threat, then Iran is going to do as much as they can get away with.
02:11:55.000They're going to do as much as Israel will tolerate, rather than what the United States might tolerate.
02:12:04.000If they can defend against Israel, they only have to worry about what Israel might do in response.
02:12:10.000That's the upper limit of the scale and the scope of their retaliation.
02:12:15.000So, for example, if all they're worried about is Israel, Iran and Hezbollah and so on, they can bomb Israel and accept whatever the Israelis might send back their way, which is the Israelis don't have much.
02:12:31.000But if the United States is parked off the coast of Iran with two aircraft carriers, and the signal is, we can blow up your whole country, then Iran understands we have to now worry about the United States.
02:14:29.000Because if it's just counterintelligence operations, their airspace wasn't compromised, they're not vulnerable from the air, it doesn't necessarily invite more aggression from the air.
02:14:40.000And they'll still reply, but it won't need to be as severe.
02:14:44.000So this is the diplomacy of the Biden administration.
02:14:49.000And I have to say, the Biden administration handled it well, because this is good.
02:14:55.000As I said last week, when Israel killed Hania and Fouad Shakur in, I don't know how to pronounce it now, Shukur, I think, in Beirut.
02:15:06.000When Israel assassinated those two leaders, they were begging for a confrontation.
02:19:24.000And if Iran normalizes, because consider, Israel has not normalized in the region.
02:19:31.000Most Middle Eastern countries do not have normal diplomatic relations with Israel.
02:19:36.000Iran, similarly, after the Islamic Revolution in 79, does not have normal relations with the world.
02:19:44.000They're integrating with Russia and China and North Korea and Venezuela, but not with the rest of the world, not with Europe, not with the United States.
02:20:18.000With the Biden administration and future American administrations, and even new governance in Europe, was headed towards normalization with the world, reintegrating with the world.
02:20:29.000And if Iran reintegrates with the world, they become a very rich country.
02:20:35.000If they're able to sell all their oil and they are relieved from the sanctions, then they become a dominant force in the Middle East.
02:20:42.000And Israel and Iran will have to vie for power.
02:20:45.000There'll be balance in the Middle East.
02:20:48.000Iran and Syria and the Shiites in Bahrain or the Eastern Province in Iraq, there'll be a counterbalance to Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia.
02:21:32.000So, when you see that the United States has been able to prevent a conflict, and don't get me wrong, I would have liked to see Iran retaliate because Iran deserves the right to retaliate, and I think they will, eventually, maybe.
02:22:17.000The popular mobilization forces, the Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, they don't bomb American bases anymore.
02:22:24.000After they hit, allegedly, after they hit that reconnaissance base in Jordan back in January and America bombed the shit out of them, they stopped attacking bases.
02:22:35.000There was an attack on an Iraqi base last week.
02:22:47.000And they've resisted all of Israel's provocations.
02:22:50.000That's because they don't want to escalate.
02:22:53.000They don't want a confrontation with Israel because it means a confrontation with the United States.
02:22:59.000And it would be devastating for the economies of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
02:23:04.000What they'd like to do, what the United States and Iran and Lebanon would like to do,
02:23:11.000Is to restrain Israel, it's to prevent them from sparking up a regional war, and pushing them into a ceasefire in Gaza.
02:23:22.000So that they have to accept some kind of Arab-Muslim government in the Gaza Strip, there will be no annexation, there will be no invasion of Lebanon, there will be no strikes on Iran.
02:23:32.000They're essentially trying to bottle up what happened on October 7th.
02:23:40.000This rolling war machine, this constantly expanding mandate for Israel to invade its neighbors, and they're trying to bring all of that in for a landing and return to the status quo.
02:24:10.000So people say, where's the Iranian strike?
02:24:11.000That's why it hasn't happened yet, because the United States has moved in swiftly to deter them, its deterrence, and to give them a face-saving excuse.
02:24:22.000And I think they'll probably do something, but just like the previous one, it will be telegraphed, there will be no casualties, it will not be severe.
02:24:32.000I think there'll be something, but it will not be a big deal.
02:24:36.000And I think, ultimately, that's probably for the best.
02:24:39.000Even though, look, it pissed everybody off, it's provocative, it's shocking, but you're playing into the hands of the Israelis by responding.
02:24:48.000You know, on 9-11, everybody in America wanted blood, and rightly so.
02:24:53.000But we didn't just go and kill al-Qaeda and bin Laden.
02:24:58.000We went and invaded the entire Middle East.
02:25:02.000We took out Gaddafi, we ended up in Somalia, we ended up in West Africa, Nigeria, Niger, we ended up in Yemen, in Lebanon, in Syria, well not so much Lebanon, but Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan.
02:25:22.000That's not, that had nothing to do with 9-11.
02:25:24.000You know, what did any of that have to do with 9-11?
02:27:02.000It's an absolute hereditary monarchy led by a tribal warlord who took power a hundred years ago, who rallied the different Bedouin tribes, the House of Saud,
02:27:19.000And we do hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
02:28:17.000They're saying that unlike the United States, which calibrates its responses and conducts foreign policy strategically and so on, they say the Iranians are just nut job terrorists.
02:28:56.000Hassan Nasrallah, whose family was killed by Israel, who's sworn to go to war against Israel for decades, why does he get up there after these provocations and say, patience everybody, patience?
02:29:09.000How are they able to do that, if they're supposedly these religious fanatic nutjobs?
02:29:16.000How are they able to absorb, if they're a suicidal, apocalyptic regime, they've got a billion missiles.
02:29:23.000If they wanted to destroy Israel, they could just lob all their missiles and end it all.
02:29:29.000So why is it that time after time they have such a restrained response?
02:29:33.000When there was a terror attack on Soleimani's death day at his grave site, they had a very restrained response.
02:29:41.000When Iran's consulate was blown up in Damascus, they had a totally restrained response.
02:29:46.000When the political leader of Hamas was killed in Tehran on Inauguration Day, they haven't even responded yet!
02:30:00.000And all of this, look, all of this is to say the foreign policy that benefits the United States and the Middle East is to pursue a balanced approach.
02:30:12.000Iran should become a part of the community of nations.
02:38:01.000And even the TR Sartor, Tristan, who got charged recently, if you read the charging documents, the statement of facts, he got snitched on by people that were charged.
02:38:13.000They identified him, they identified him because of his clothes.
02:38:53.000He was wearing a mask, you know, so they identified him because of the clothes.
02:38:58.000But if you read the statement of facts, they said that the FBI interviewed three people that were charged, people that trespassed and were charged.
02:44:24.000There would be no war right now in Gaza because we would not be boxing Iran out by bringing the Gulf and Israel into an alliance.
02:44:36.000The only thing that we might have to worry about is Taiwan.
02:44:38.000We would have been pivoting to Asia, but it is these neocons that are dragging us back into these other theaters that have no strategic value.
02:46:08.000They assembled a quarter of a million troops around Ukraine.
02:46:12.000The Biden administration said, yeah, they won't.
02:46:14.000Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference in February 22 said, well, if the Budapest memorandum won't be recognized, then we'll get a nuclear arsenal.
02:53:09.000Three, on the social issues, he's let the log cabin Republicans in Mar-a-Lago
02:53:17.000He has people at the convention saying that it's okay if you're gay or straight.
02:53:21.000He had Amber Rose, a porn star, at the RNC with their face tattoo, and he personally, personally intervened to take gay marriage out of the Republican platform.
02:53:35.000Supporting traditional marriage between a man and a woman has been in the platform forever.
02:53:41.000And they're all, and this is confirmed by the press, they say that Trump edited down to the word choice, the adjectives, in the platform over the phone on a conference call this year.
02:53:53.000And he personally removed traditional marriage and federal abortion ban from the platform.
02:53:59.000So any way you cut it, they're supporting IVF,
02:54:05.000Anyway you cut it, it's not living up to the Groyper standard, and back in 2016, it's not living up to Trump's standard.
02:54:13.000The three pillars of Trumpism were trade protection and industrial policy, although they didn't call it that back then, foreign policy non-intervention, or America first, and
02:55:25.000You know, when Trump maybe broke the free trade consensus or whatever, but Biden had more follow through with the CHIPS Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law.
03:10:48.000Like the energy, like I'm glad you're interested, it's a good thing, you know, but you need to go through catechism before you can take the Eucharist.
