00:06:30.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:34.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:41.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:48.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:06:56.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:06:59.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:13.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:17.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:21.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:27.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:31.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:09:38.000that america was different because we are different palantir is an ai data analytics company
00:10:02.000They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
00:10:09.000If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
00:10:26.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
00:24:53.000If we don't have freedom on the Internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind raped every day forever.
00:25:01.000Think about anything you've ever said or done in the vicinity of your phone's camera or microphone, everything you've ever put into your phone, and even things that are not necessarily so scandalous, but even things like your favorite restaurants, your geo location, because your phone also has a GPS.
00:25:23.000They have access to your bank account.
00:25:25.000AI will literally know everything about you.
00:25:29.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you're asleep.
00:25:39.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
00:25:43.000They know how many calories you consume.
00:25:45.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
00:25:48.000You have a computer in your refrigerator, computer in your car, computer in your home security system, computer in your everything, computer in your clothes, your watch, your glasses, your VR headset, your alarm clock.
00:26:00.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
00:26:02.000It's like total, like, rape of everybody by the system forever.
00:26:18.000My life is like a first-person video game, you know?
00:27:18.000These material appetites will never be satisfied.
00:27:23.000And even if they are, it'll never be an adequate substitute for communion with our Holy Father, with somebody, with the author of the world.
00:27:32.000Every mother and father understands the love for a child.
00:50:55.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:51:00.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:51:07.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:51:09.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:51:14.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:51:21.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:51:25.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:51:39.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:51:43.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:51:46.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:51:53.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:51:57.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:53:50.000And I think that the mature people that actually love America, actually love our children, the people that recognize the division, the peril that we're in, we need to fortify a new consensus and rally the people of conscience, the people of decency, the people of humanity, the people of charity towards their fellow man,
00:54:16.000against those that want to kill us, against those that laugh and celebrate when innocent people are harmed.
00:54:26.000For any reason, for any ideological reason.
00:54:29.000Against the people that are cruel, the people that are hateful.
00:54:32.000And by that I mean the people that are really cruel.
00:54:35.000Not the people that say things you disagree with.
00:54:37.000the people that are provocative not the people that are sometimes angry but the people that are really cruel and really evil
00:54:46.000what makes christianity and christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us An overflowing of love.
00:55:23.000An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
00:56:50.000Canary Mission is an Israeli-funded blacklist, which since July 2025 has been confirmed to be used by the Trump administration to target students, professors, and professionals who oppose Israel and reside in the United States.
00:57:02.000This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
00:57:09.000In their initiative, titled Project Esther, they state that students participating in pro-Palestinian protests and activism are supporting Hamas, a group that the United States designates as a foreign terrorist organization.
00:57:21.000Therefore, pro-Palestinian students are considered to be supporting terrorism and are subject to the revocation of visas, frozen bank accounts, asset seizures, and the denial of basic constitutional rights.
00:57:33.000In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
00:57:45.000Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
00:57:55.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
00:58:09.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence.
00:58:21.000As Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States, and anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy, I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
00:58:35.000So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
00:58:39.000Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
00:58:46.000And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
00:58:49.000As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
00:58:53.000And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
00:58:57.000As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and they're the greatest country ever, I will never be okay with that.
00:59:55.000This is not a timeline going back to 1948.
00:59:58.000What had just happened before the 2016 election?
01:00:01.000Barack Obama created the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA, or the Iranian nuclear deal.
01:00:10.000And Barack Obama brought together China, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the European Union to enforce a nuclear deal that restricts Iran's enrichment of uranium.
01:00:24.000The early talks were conducted in secret, and the Israelis were furious, furious about this.
01:00:32.000Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
01:00:43.000This is the background of Trump's first election.
01:02:06.000They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
01:02:20.000This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
01:14:47.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:14:52.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:14:58.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:15:06.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:15:13.000People have got to start to get courageous.
01:15:16.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

01:15:45.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
01:15:48.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
01:16:53.000When I get home, I want you Hello, I got places to be Evening everybody, you're welcome You're watching America First.

03:14:08.000In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
03:14:20.000Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
03:14:30.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
03:14:43.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence.
03:14:56.000As Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States, and anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy, I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
03:15:09.000So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
03:15:14.000Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
03:15:20.000And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
03:15:24.000As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
03:15:28.000And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
03:15:32.000As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again.
03:15:40.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
03:19:06.000One, the positions of the United States and Iran remain irreconcilable.
03:19:12.000So Friday, there was this huge meeting, momentous considering the significance of it, between Iran's foreign minister and our special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
03:19:24.000They got together, and here we are, four or five days later, and the two positions have not budged since a year ago, specifically concerning Iran's enrichment of uranium.
03:19:59.000It's impossible because these are diametrically opposed positions.
03:20:04.000Number two, even to the extent that there is, it seems, maybe a chance that a creative solution can be provided, you have the effort of the third party, Israel, to sabotage the negotiations.
03:20:20.000And actually to that end, Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in the United States earlier tonight for a working meeting tomorrow morning with the president, private closed-door working session.
03:20:33.000He is going to lobby the United States not to make a deal.
03:20:37.000And not only not to make a deal, but also to impress upon the United States that Israel will not accept any deal that does not also include restrictions on Iran's ballistic missiles and support for its proxies, which is yet another red line for Iran.
03:20:54.000They don't even want to talk about it.
03:21:58.000They are Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
03:22:04.000They are all present at these negotiations.
03:22:07.000They are lobbying very strongly for the U.S. to make a deal.
03:22:11.000And it seems that anticipating the collapse of Iran, they are now all working together and forming a new axis, which may be able to counter the influence of Washington and Israel in the future.
03:22:24.000So that actually is a positive development.
03:22:27.000It's a positive change to the negotiations, and it gestures towards something positive in the future, even in the worst case scenario.
03:22:38.000We're also going to talk tonight a little bit about Howard Luttnick, who was questioned in a Senate committee earlier today about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
03:22:49.000Howard Luttnick is the commerce secretary in the Trump government, close friend of President Trump.
03:22:56.000He also was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
03:22:59.000And this was known that Howard Luttnick and Epstein had met and they had spoken to each other.
03:23:06.000However, Howard Luttnick insisted that he had not remained in contact with Epstein after Epstein was charged and convicted of soliciting minors to traffic for sex.
03:23:19.000And so he swore up and down that he never talked to him after that.
03:23:28.000Well, one of the revelations in the DOJ's document dump of the Epstein files is that that is a lie.
03:23:37.000And it seems that Howard Luttnick continued a correspondence with Epstein.
03:23:41.000And actually, his entire family visited Epstein's Island long after Epstein had been charged, convicted, and served prison time for those crimes.
03:23:53.000So he lied, and we know that, and that is on the record.
03:23:56.000And now the Trump government is standing behind Lutnick.
03:23:59.000There's calls for him to resign, obviously.
03:24:16.000It is self-inflicted, this entire thing.
03:24:19.000And I said last night, I think this is a mortal wound for the Trump government because this is like you're shot in the wilderness or you get attacked by a bear or something.
03:24:32.000But this Trump government, I mean, they are literally going to trudge along for the next three years, it seems, bleeding profusely, limping along from this wound.
03:25:57.000But I promise, I promise the show will start earlier tomorrow.
03:26:02.000The show will start earlier later in the week, okay?
03:26:05.000It's just so hard to keep it together here, okay?
03:26:10.000But it's a little bit of a later show.
03:26:12.000Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble, smash the like button, leave a comment, let me know what you think about the show.
03:27:38.000If you can cough up 15 bucks a month, you can support the real nigga holding down the fort at the center of it all, at the center of the storm, the hurricane.
03:27:51.000I'm joking a little bit, but it's also very true.
03:36:01.000We're here and we're not going anywhere.
03:36:06.000And that's a muscular, strong message, and it conveys vitality.
03:36:13.000And there's no question that they have a future.
03:36:16.000Then I watched a turning point halftime show, your all-American halftime show, your safe space for white cucks, your safe space for white losers.
03:36:26.000And all the white people retreated to some stage in Atlanta, apparently, and they had a cry.
03:36:37.000They had a good cry about how we're all dying.
03:36:41.000And some pathetic white doofus got up on the stage and said, I just want.
03:40:41.000We're in a civilizational war in the world and in our country.
03:40:45.000And if you don't engage in politics and defend what is yours, if you don't take up space, if you don't acquire and wield power in defense of your own interests and your own people, other people will.
03:41:08.000They will take and wield power and they will wield it on behalf of themselves and their interests.
03:41:15.000And they will take our land and they will take your fish and your game and your beer and your truck and your dog and your kids and your country.
03:43:20.000Our parents and our grandparents and our great-grandparents, you know, they were catching fish and hugging their dog and doing these things.
03:43:27.000Some of them, many of them went to war.
03:43:30.000But others, arguably the boomers, they had this vacation from history when they were able to do all those things and not concern themselves with politics or war, the civilizational conflict that we're in.
03:43:47.000So I don't just want to, you know, marry my high school sweetheart and get a dog and just hang out and drop my truck and watch my game and drink my beer.
03:46:10.000I've always said this: the Oliver Anthony thing, the Matt Walsh thing, this, this whole just leave me alone so we can roll over and die in peace.
03:50:17.000People are getting their heads blown off.
03:50:19.000The left, the John Brown Gun Club and the DSA and the communists, they are literally deploying in every major city saying, we're going to be elected mayor.
03:50:29.000We're going to take white people's money and we're going to use it to make the bus free for black people.
03:51:42.000So that's the thing, you know, and it's so funny.
03:51:45.000All these people want to say, well, you know, Bad Bunny, when he said, God bless America, what he meant was the Americas, all the Hispanics.
03:52:43.000Even these faggots that are mad about the halftime show, they're saying, well, when he said God bless America, what he meant was all of the Americas are, and you go to that guy, you go to that nerd bitch.
03:53:10.000They won't even include race because they don't want to lose their job because they're worried Stephen Miller is going to get them fired.
03:53:16.000Because they're worried if they're following the wrong Twitter account, they're going to get thrown out on the White House lawn out of the motorcade and fired.
03:53:57.000And we just need something that's a little stronger, something that's a little more confident.
03:54:01.000And I don't mean it needs to be like white supremacists, like more hateful or angry, but I mean it needs to be a little more confident, a little more self-assured.
03:54:10.000It needs to be ambitious, you know, like, hey, we own the future.
03:56:07.000And Trump has issued the ultimatum last week.
03:56:11.000And the ultimatum is either Iran is going to make a deal once and for all on nuclear, or we are going to topple their regime.
03:56:21.000And the word that Trump is using is decisive.
03:56:24.000Decisive meaning we're going to finish the regime.
03:56:28.000Not we're going to bomb their nuclear program again.
03:56:31.000Not that we're going to degrade their military capability.
03:56:34.000The word that Trump has been using when soliciting a menu of options from the Pentagon is he wants a decisive blow.
03:56:41.000That means a killing blow against the regime that either kills the Ayatollah or topples the government and then some new regime comes to power.
03:56:52.000So this is the ultimatum as of last week.
03:56:55.000Either Iran is going to make a deal on nuclear, which has some specific expectations, or there's going to be this decisive killing blow, a regime change strike, and then we're effectively in a war with Iran, just like we were last year.
03:57:09.000And the outcome of that is completely unpredictable.
03:57:13.000Now, the Iranians, in a bid to either prevent that war or to postpone that war, agreed to a negotiation.
03:57:26.000The venue for the negotiation, the preconditions, all of that was sort of in flux for the past week.
03:57:35.000Ultimately, they agreed that they would hold these negotiations on Friday in Oman, and they did.
03:57:42.000And so Howard, or excuse me, not Howard Lutnick, Steve Witkoff, the special envoy and the foreign minister of Iran, held indirect negotiations in Oman.
03:57:52.000It was mediated by a number of other third countries from around the Middle East.
03:57:57.000Both sides said that the talks were positive.
03:58:01.000The president of Iran, Pazeshkian, said it was a constructive meeting.
03:58:06.000The White House said that Iran wants to make a deal and they're willing to do things that they weren't a year ago.
03:58:12.000With that being said, we don't know any of the details.
03:58:18.000And it would seem that the negotiation on Friday was not different than the first two negotiations last year, in that the negotiation on Friday was a framework negotiation.
03:58:30.000It was a negotiation about negotiations, talking about what they will talk about.
03:58:37.000What are the boundaries of the negotiation?
03:59:38.000It says, quote: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragshi on Sunday ruled out Tehran ever giving up uranium enrichment in its negotiations with Washington, insisting it will not be intimidated by the threat of war with the United States.
03:59:52.000Iraqshi told a forum in Tehran that Tehran had little trust in Washington and even doubted that the U.S. side was taking renewed negotiations seriously.
04:00:02.000The U.S. and Iran reopened negotiations on Friday in Oman after the previous talks between the two countries were suspended due to Israel's 12-day war with Iran in June 2025, which ended with a U.S. strike on several Iranian nuclear sites.
04:00:18.000Iran is seeking to have U.S. economic sanctions on the country lifted in exchange for what Aragshi said at the forum could be a series of confidence-building measures concerning the nuclear program.
04:00:29.000Iraqshi's comments came after U.S. lead negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the USS Abraham Lincoln on Saturday, signaling the persistent threat of U.S. military action against Iran.
04:00:43.000The threat of war continues to hover over the negotiations, even as Trump called the talks very good, and Iran's president Masood Pazeshkian posted on social media that they constitute a step forward.
04:00:55.000Okay, so both sides say it's going well, but not really.
04:01:00.000Following Friday's first round in Oman, Trump signed an executive order calling for the imposition of tariffs on countries still doing business with Iran despite U.S. sanctions.
04:01:10.000The U.S. also announced new sanctions against numerous shipping entities and vessels aimed at curbing Iran's oil exports.
04:01:18.000It remained unclear on Sunday when and where or if there will be a second round of talks.
04:01:23.000Trump, after the talks on Friday, offered few details, but said Iran looks like they want to make a deal very badly, as they should.
04:01:55.000And the issues are that Iran is sponsoring Shiite proxies across the region, which are attacking Israel and, in some cases, attacking American forces.
04:02:06.000So you've got Hezbollah first and foremost in Lebanon.
04:03:12.000Now, Iran, on paper, has a nuclear energy program.
04:03:16.000However, their ability to enrich uranium and refine plutonium gives them the capability to create enough nuclear material for a nuclear weapon.
04:03:27.000So ostensibly, they have the ability to make a bomb.
04:03:37.000But they have begun to make the material that could fuel a bomb.
04:03:42.000And with the missile program and with proxies and with enough fissible material, they could theoretically put a nuclear warhead on a missile and launch it at Israel or at an American base.
04:03:58.000And this has been the subject of this high pressure campaign by Israel and the United States for kind of different reasons, subtle, but different reasons.
04:04:09.000Israel wants Iran to have none of these capabilities.
04:04:13.000Israel does not want Iran to fund or sponsor any proxies.
04:04:18.000Israel does not want Iran to have any missiles that have a long enough range that they can strike Israel.
04:04:24.000And Israel does not want Iran to have any nuclear complex.
04:04:28.000No energy program, no reactor, no centrifuges, no nothing.
04:04:34.000The United States is a little different.
04:04:36.000We don't want them to sponsor proxies.
04:04:41.000However, our biggest priority specifically is their nuclear program and their enrichment of uranium.
04:04:49.000We would allow them to have some enriched uranium.
04:04:52.000We would allow them to have a nuclear reactor, but we will not let them have the centrifuges that make the enriched uranium.
04:04:59.000We say that that material has to be imported from a third country and they can own the facility.
04:05:05.000Maybe they can operate it, but it can't be on their soil and they can't have free reign to enrich and they can't have highly enriched uranium, which could be used for a bomb.
04:06:12.000At the third and fourth meetings, we talked about some creative solutions.
04:06:17.000How could they have peaceful nuclear energy without enrichment?
04:06:22.000And so some of the ideas were maybe we would let them have their centrifuges on some of their islands in the Persian Gulf.
04:06:31.000And that way we could say that it's not on their mainland and they could say it's still on their territory.
04:06:37.000Another idea was floated that they could have their centrifuges in Saudi Arabia and they could operate the facility, but it would be sort of like a black box and Saudi Arabia would have jurisdiction over the territory and they can import it from that facility.
04:06:55.000These were some of the creative ideas, but suffice to say, we were fixated on enrichment, not missiles, not proxies, not even Bushir, which is their nuclear reactor.
04:07:06.000We said we are laser focused on enrichment.
04:07:09.000We don't want you to have the stockpile.
04:07:11.000We don't want you to have the centrifuges.
04:07:13.000We're going to need to come up with some third way.
04:07:16.000We're going to have to thread the needle where you get the material for your energy, but you can't in any way have enough control over it that you could ever build a bomb.
04:08:35.000What it's really about is we reserve the right to break out and get a nuclear bomb if we fear that regime change is imminent or inevitable.
04:09:20.000They can normalize relations with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, with the other Arab countries.
04:09:26.000And they can pursue collective security.
04:09:30.000If they can build their alliances and have some interdependence in the region, that's a way of protecting themselves.
04:09:38.000If they can demonstrate that they are not a pariah state, that they're not a revisionist power, then the United States will be less enthusiastic about backing regime change.
04:09:50.000And over 10 years, they accept these restrictions and inspections and surveillance in exchange for sanctions relief.
04:09:58.000Over that 10-year period, they become normal, they integrate, and by the end of it, they have some confidence that the United States is not going to knock them off, is not going to overthrow them.
04:10:09.000So where we are in 2025, last year, is Iran is saying, look, we're never giving up enrichment.
04:11:07.000And Israel and Iran traded blows for two weeks.
04:11:10.000And then the U.S. intervened and we bombed their nuclear complex.
04:11:14.000We bombed Fordo, Iraq, Esfahan, and those were some of the most critical facilities, the ones that were the most fortified underground inside mountains.
04:11:51.000Israel comes to Mar-a-Lago and says, ever since we bombed them together, Israel says they have been building hundreds of missiles a month and they're getting ready to bomb us.
04:12:02.000They're getting ready to preemptively strike us.
04:12:40.000He aborts it at the last minute, doesn't have enough guns.
04:12:44.000Over the last month, there's been a huge military buildup, an aircraft carrier strike group, like I said, Patriot missile batteries, THAD systems, cargo aircraft, refueling aircraft, B-52.
04:12:56.000It's all going into the Middle East to prepare for war, offensive and defensive capabilities.
04:16:29.000They're putting all this money behind these big cities.
04:16:32.000And, you know, they're hosting the World Cup and they're hosting these big spectacles, FIFA and NASCAR, or not NASCAR, Formula One, all this kind of stuff.
04:16:44.000The last thing they want is a huge war happening right across the Persian Gulf.
04:16:49.000They don't want Iranian missiles flying into Qatar and bombing those beautiful skyscrapers in Doha.
04:16:55.000They don't want missiles flying at Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
04:17:00.000You know, so all these countries, they don't want the instability.
04:17:36.000Okay, just like those first two meetings last year, it's a framework negotiation, meaning they're talking about what they're going to talk about.
04:17:44.000And they get together and they say, okay, we only want to talk about nuclear.
04:17:48.000But once again, we have the same impasse.
04:17:50.000Iran says we're not giving up enrichment.
04:17:53.000And the United States says you need to give up enrichment.
04:18:37.000The message is, okay, you better make a deal because if you don't, we're going to collapse your economy and then we're going to bomb you from this aircraft carrier.
04:18:45.000In the meantime, you have more cargo planes landing in Turkmenistan, north of Iran, potentially carrying battalions of U.S. troops.
04:18:55.000Trump is considering sending another carrier strike group into the Middle East.
04:19:00.000He got B-52 bombers sighted in Al-Udaid, getting ready to bomb Iran.
04:20:59.000Well, there's really two things that are happening.
04:21:03.000One is that Netanyahu, well, he's really conveying a message to Trump and saying, you know, maybe they're coordinating and maybe they're lobbying and maybe they're blackmailing or threatening.
04:21:15.000Who really knows what Netanyahu's angle is?
04:21:17.000But he is there because he wants to sabotage the talks and he wants us to go to war with Iran.
04:21:23.000Like he's not interested in diplomacy.
04:21:41.000Trump wants Iran to see that they're on the aircraft carrier, that Israel is in the White House.
04:21:48.000Because if Iran sees that, well, you know, maybe they're going to take it seriously and they're going to cave completely and give up their enrichment.
04:22:00.000I think that what that really says is that Iran cannot trust the United States.
04:22:05.000If the United States is in league with Israel, they have no willingness or ability to restrain Israel.
04:22:11.000As a matter of fact, it seems like the tail is wagging the dog.
04:22:15.000And just like last year, the U.S. set up those negotiations as a ruse to lull Iran into a false sense of security, lower their guard, and then Israel attacked them with U.S. knowledge of it, foreknowledge.
04:22:28.000And then we snuck attack Iran on top of that to compound the damage.
04:22:34.000So I think where this is headed is that Iran does not trust us.
04:22:39.000I don't think they're going to make a deal.
04:23:06.000The only hope that we have is that all of these Muslim countries together can compel the United States to finally put their foot down against Israel, as they did in September.
04:23:20.000When Israel bombed Qatar, they took it too far.
04:23:24.000Israel bombed Hamas's negotiators in Doha, in Qatar, and the U.S. was furious, and they were all furious.
04:23:32.000So furious, in fact, that the U.S. actually gave Qatar a security guarantee.
04:23:38.000We made them a non-treaty ally, effectively.
04:23:42.000We extended to them a defensive guarantee.
04:23:47.000And then all the other Muslim countries came together effectively in protest at the organization of the Islamic Conference.
04:23:54.000They came together at the Arab League and they forcefully condemned this.
04:23:57.000And in that moment, Trump was able to get Nanyahu to apologize to Qatar and get Netyahu to agree to their 20-point plan, their 21-point plan.
04:24:08.000The only hope to avoid a war in Iran is if all the Muslim countries using their lobbying and their money can get Trump to make Israel back down.
04:24:19.000If Egypt and Turkey and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and Qatar, which were all major allies of the United States, major military allies, major commercial allies, if all these countries can get together as one and they could go to the United States and say, look, if you take out Iran, this is going to be a catastrophe for all of us.
04:24:43.000If they can maybe set some red lines of their own, maybe then that gives the United States the confidence to put Israel in their place and shut it down.
04:24:53.000That's why I said before, there's some things that are changing that are maybe a source for optimism, but I just have very little hope in that.
04:25:01.000That is the part that is different from last year.
04:25:04.000Last year, Iran had none of these people standing by their side, but that has changed.
04:25:10.000Ever since Iran was bombed, ever since Qatar was bombed, things have changed in the Middle East.
04:25:16.000Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are working on a mutual security defense treaty.
04:25:25.000There is this rapprochement now with Egypt.
04:25:29.000And so it seems like all these countries are now coming together because they recognize that they are made less safe by this for the aforementioned reasons, but also because they don't want to live in a Middle East that is dominated by Israel.
04:25:44.000Egypt is beefing up their military in the Sinai because they know that if Israel takes Gaza, well, you know, now Egypt has reason to be concerned.
04:25:58.000Israel's trying to seize territory in Syria.
04:26:01.000Israel has this very anti-Turkey rhetoric.
04:26:04.000They're threatening regime change in Turkey.
04:26:08.000So none of these countries want to live under the dominion of Israel and they are made insecure by these aggressive moves that, excuse me, that Israel has been making.
04:26:21.000And it's going to be really interesting what happens over the next course, the course of the next two weeks.
04:26:28.000The outcome of this meeting tomorrow, what Trump says, if there's a new deadline, what his attitude, what his demeanor will be towards Netanyahu, if there's going to be another round of negotiations, if there's another carrier strike group deployed.
04:26:43.000But I will tell you, I'm a little bit pessimistic.
04:26:46.000I think that Trump has no ability to resist Israel.
04:26:50.000I think that the force package assembled, it's very expensive.
04:29:29.000And that is why, whenever you see people talking about the Islamization of America, that is because they are being paid by Jews that are very insecure, that the Arabs might lobby us not to go to war with Iran.
04:29:51.000They don't want you to talk about the Islamization of America.
04:29:55.000Those are paranoid, insecure shills being paid by Jewish money because Israel is worried that, you know, these guys like Steve Witkoff and Howard Luttnick, they got business dealings in the Gulf.
04:30:08.000And so they have a financial interest.
04:30:11.000And Trump wants to be taken care of when he leaves office.
04:30:14.000And he'll be taken care of by the Qataris.
04:30:17.000He'll be taken care of by these Gulf sheikhdoms, shakedoms.
04:30:22.000And that's why the Israelis want to freak out about Islam and Qatar and all this kind of stuff because they're pushing in the opposite direction.
04:31:29.000Um, but it's not in the way that you think.
04:31:31.000I mean, people think that they're I do think that some of them are doing ritualistic things, but I mean that, like, obviously, Satan is influencing all of that.
04:31:44.000I mean, in a very spiritual way, also.
04:31:54.000Bob with the bodybuilding to bang diggy diggy diggy said the digging up jump the boogie is more based than Disfortando Dakota Sassaskoske extron in Lasquez Avan.
04:33:20.000It was announced that Archbishop Fulton Sheen's beautification is moving forward and he will be one step away from being the first U.S.-born male saint.
04:33:24.000As someone who has brought so many to the Catholic Church via broadcasting, you follow in his footsteps.
04:36:51.000David Lancaster, witness of the generational run, sent $20.
04:36:53.000Sorry to stun lock you so hard with dwarf, but I really appreciated and respected how much you tried to work through it before reading chat.
04:36:57.000This week's is slightly easier, but I hope you still find it engaging.
04:36:59.000And a reprieve from the suicide-inducing super chat.
04:37:01.000Identify the five three-letter body parts above the neck.
04:38:41.000Not all poor people are brown, but most brown people are poor.
04:38:45.000So, women are making us sympathetic to poor people, aka brown people.
04:38:50.000Women are making us sympathetic to George Floyd.
04:38:53.000Women are the reason that their fertility rate is low because they're getting educated and they attack every man as a rapist and a pedophile.
04:39:02.000And they're henpecking and controlling all the men.
04:39:07.000So, just like Hitler imprisoned gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women.
04:46:18.000The performance contained the seed of an idea.
04:46:20.000If white Americans and Latinos lock arms over our shared colonial roots, then that excludes Indians and Muslims who have no claim to America.
04:46:25.000And when you look at Europe, which is being raped by Eritreans and the messaging is Europeans don't exist, a handshake with the Latinos becomes compelling.
04:46:58.000Arguing that the halftime show was inconsequential because it's African-American sports ball just shows your contempt for average white Americans.
04:50:33.000Now everybody wants to show up and they want to watch N-ward ball.
04:50:37.000They want to watch Nigga Ball so they can give their money to Dave Portnoy.
04:50:41.000Want to give their money to a sports Jew with the black guy's name on their back while they get cucked in front of 130 million people watching Kendrick Lamar and uh Bad Bunny and Rihanna and all that garbage.
04:50:58.000So yeah, you need a little re-I know it hurts.
04:58:54.000We thought you backed preserving white American culture, but your recipe halftime pick shows you embrace a melting pot in America where English is optional.
04:58:59.000You'd rather be different and cool than principled.
05:00:09.000That's what Sam Francis called them, beautiful losers, clinging to their principles, their ideological purity, you know, which is a form of vanity, actually, because they didn't care about winning.
05:03:52.000How else would we coordinate and recognize each other on the day of our multilateral hit squad when we kill our high-value target if we weren't all wearing the same color t-shirt and hat?
05:04:05.000Like, did everybody get your I'm here to kill Charlie Kirk t-shirt and hat today?
05:04:12.000Did everybody get your wristband and lanyard?
05:04:16.000So we're going to send out a blast email.
05:04:18.000You're going to want to sign up for the email blast.
05:04:21.000The day of the hit, we're going to send you all the details.
05:05:52.000They're going to be able to identify everybody.
05:05:56.000I imagine everybody that was there to kill Charlie Kirk, they heard that Candace Owens was on to them about the Maroon shirts and they started freaking out.
05:06:08.000They started burning all their clothes.
05:08:01.000Technical Indian-born GOP German Abraham George has announced his campaign for a second term.
05:08:05.000The state of Texas also harbors the most H-1B visa holders out of any state in the Union.
05:08:08.000Even though he has come out against H1Bs, can we truly trust an Indian-born Christian to be a bulwark against such policies and halt Indian migration into Texas?
05:11:29.000It's like we can all get behind being a great power, being a great nation, rededicating ourselves to vigor, intellectual pursuits, art, infrastructure, technology, our heritage.
05:14:03.000The backlash here tonight from informing Americans that they've been castrated and need to be better if they want to win is amazing to see in real time.
05:17:27.000Let me actually sort these for some reason.
05:17:29.000That's including all the ones from the other day.
05:17:32.000Special thanks to Francesco, abolitionist of abortion, Cruz Tech, Leviathan, Just a Girl, Dark Wolf, Day One, Heritage American, Walk the Plank, Frosted Moonwalk, whatever.
