00:00:14.000But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:06:37.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:41.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:48.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:06:50.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:55.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:03.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:06.000And 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.
00:07:20.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:24.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:28.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:34.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:38.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:09:45.000that America was different because we are different.
00:10:03.000Palantir is an AI data analytics company.
00:10:09.000They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
00:10:16.000If 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.
00:10:33.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
00:23:08.000You got that back, that's a hard bump.
00:23:11.000That's on the phone, it's a dinner group
00:24:10.000My love has got no power, he's got its strong beliefs.
00:24:14.000My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs.
00:24:18.000My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs.
00:24:22.000One more and more, people just want more and more freedom and love.
00:24:29.000What he's looking for, want more and more.
00:24:32.000People just want more and more freedom and love.
00:24:36.000What he's looking for, freed from desire.
00:24:40.000Mind and senses purify, freed from desire.
00:24:44.000Mine and senses purify, freed from desire.
00:25:00.000If we don't have freedom on the internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind raped every day forever.
00:25:08.000Think 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 geolocation, because your phone also has a GPS.
00:25:30.000They have access to your bank account.
00:25:32.000AI will literally know everything about you.
00:25:36.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you're asleep.
00:25:46.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
00:25:50.000They know how many calories you consume.
00:25:52.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
00:25:55.000You 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.
00:26:07.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
00:26:09.000It's like total, like, rape of everybody by the system forever.
00:26:25.000My life is like a first-person video game, you know?
00:27:25.000These material appetites will never be satisfied.
00:27:30.000And 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.
00:27:39.000And every mother and father understands the love for a child.
00:42:25.000All the things you're all the things I've had, running through my head, running through my head, all the future side, all the cases on the mind.
00:42:37.000All the things that all the things you had, all the things you're sad, all the things you're all the things you're sad, all the things you have, all the things you're sad.
00:51:02.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:51:07.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:51:13.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:51:16.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:51:21.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:51:28.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:51:32.000And 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.
00:51:46.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:51:50.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:51:53.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:52:00.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:52:04.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:53:57.000And 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,
00:54:23.000against those that want to kill us, against those that laugh and celebrate when innocent people are harmed for any reason, for any ideological reason.
00:54:36.000Against the people that are cruel, the people that are hateful.
00:54:39.000And by that, I mean the people that are really cruel, not the people that say things you disagree with, not the people that are provocative, not the people that are sometimes angry, but the people that are really cruel and really evil.
00:55:02.000What 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.
00:55:24.000So much of it, it cannot be contained.
00:55:30.000An 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.
00:56:57.000is 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.
00:57:09.000This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
00:57:16.000In 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.
00:57:28.000Therefore, 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.
00:57:40.000In 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.
00:57:52.000Palantir, 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.
00:58:02.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
00:58:16.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital.
00:58:22.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
00:59:29.000We have a great show for you tonight, and I wish it was under better circumstances.
00:59:35.000Normally, I'd say I'm excited to be here with you, but this is a very interesting turn of events.
00:59:43.000And tonight we're here with an emergency broadcast, a special Saturday episode here on the weekend to discuss the historic world-changing events of last night.
00:59:56.000I'm sure, as you all know, we are now living in a new world.
01:00:02.000As Oliver Anthony would say, we are living in a new world.
01:00:07.000Last night, the United States and Israel launched a joint attack against Iran.
01:00:13.000And make no mistake about it, this should be made unequivocally clear right now.
01:00:26.000And so the reason I say this is because last year, when Israel and the United States engaged Iran for the first time directly, as they did in Operation Midnight Hammer and the so-called 12-day war in June of 2025, it was contentious whether we called this a war because of the endgame, because of the mode of attack.
01:00:50.000But what should be made clear is that we are now engaged against the Islamic Republic of Iran in a full-fledged regime change effort.
01:01:16.000We'll talk about the actual operation.
01:01:18.000We're going to talk about Iran's counterattack, which seems to be mostly ineffective.
01:01:25.000And contrary to a lot of the hype from Iran itself and some of Iran's biggest defenders in the United States, there is not any meaningful pushback that has materialized.
01:02:40.000You could call this Operation Iranian Freedom.
01:02:44.000And we are there to liberate them from tyranny by destroying their regime and leaving.
01:02:50.000And as history has shown in the Middle East, this always works.
01:02:54.000It always works, bombing and deposing an oppressive tyrant and then either staying or leaving.
01:03:01.000It's always as easy to do as it is to say.
01:03:05.000And there's never any fallout, never any unintended consequences.
01:03:09.000So we'll talk a little bit about what the end game is there for the Trump administration, what the plan is, if there is any, and what the prospects are for who will control Iran in the future.
01:03:53.000But be sure to leave a comment, smash the like button, subscribe, check out our merch store, Fuentis.store, and subscribe to our brand new subscriber website, AmericaFirst.plus.
01:04:03.000We have our actually new and improved website, downloadable MP3s and RSS feed of the show.
01:04:11.000We actually have five episodes of the show free on the website with a very good video player.
01:04:24.000You get to be in a group chat with me.
01:04:26.000And we'll chill a little bit, but not too much because it's a very serious occasion.
01:04:31.000Now, before we get into all of the news, before we get into the actual strikes and how this is playing out and where all of this is going, I have one thing to say to all of you, to all of the Trump supporters, to all of the Trump voters, to the plan trusters, to the shabbous goys out there.
01:04:56.000I really just have one thing to say to all of you, which is I told you so.
01:06:09.000People said I flirted with supporting Kamala or the Democrats or supporting them or voting them, that I had flipped, that I was in league with Joe Biden or something like that.
01:06:21.000But I made it very clear in August 2024.
01:06:24.000I said, I am willing to vote for Trump.
01:06:26.000As a matter of fact, I'd like to vote for Trump.
01:06:29.000I said, but I won't do it unless he makes a commitment not to bring us to war.
01:06:53.000This plan by Israel made decades ago, perhaps centuries ago, to terraform the Middle East and make it a place that is not safe for Israel, but make it a place that submits to Israel.
01:07:09.000This is about regional hegemony for that country.
01:07:13.000And they have used Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the MAGA movement as a Trojan horse for that agenda from the beginning.
01:07:23.000It was Trump that withdrew the United States from the original Iranian nuclear deal.
01:07:29.000It was Trump who assassinated Qasem Soleimani.
01:07:32.000It was Trump that bombed Fordo, Esfahan, and Natans last year.
01:07:37.000And now it is Trump that is delivering what Israel has always wanted, what they have wanted this entire century for the past 25 years, what they have tried to pressure every U.S. president since George W. Bush to do, and that is to once and for all confront and topple the Iranian regime, eliminating the last of Israel's rivals and giving them free reign over one of the most important and consequential regions in the world,
01:09:01.000It is the long march to this war, which, as I said, has gone on for decades between administrations in the Trump administration the first time, back the second time.
01:09:12.000We really need to talk about how we arrived here.
01:09:16.000And partially why I remind people that I'm vindicated on this subject is because this is called establishing credibility.
01:09:26.000How did I predict that this would play out with precision, with accuracy?
01:09:34.000Really going back to October 7th, but even through the election and recognizing Trump's role through to the operation last year, and then predicting it would continue shortly thereafter.
01:09:46.000It is because I understand how this works.
01:09:51.000So it's not just for my own self-aggrandizement.
01:09:55.000It's not just for my own edification that I say this.
01:10:12.000They were tricked because they listen far too much to what is said online by influencers, which is effectively a form of soft lobbying.
01:10:24.000If you didn't see this coming, if you underestimated the possibility or the inevitability that this would happen, it is probably because your information diet, the opinion makers that you follow, this is an artifice which is put in front of you by special interest groups.
01:10:48.000Why did you underestimate the likelihood this would happen?
01:10:52.000It's because probably your timeline has been curated by an algorithm to show you a very particular perspective, a very particular frame of the Trump administration.
01:11:10.000The reason I called it right is because I didn't follow Trump's speeches and his influencers and his cadre of soft lobbyists on social media.
01:12:06.000It was pretty clear based on the military buildup in the Middle East, the deployment of two aircraft carriers, the USS Gerald Ford and the Abraham Lincoln, over a dozen destroyers.
01:12:19.000You had 50% of the U.S. deployable air power in the Middle East at the time that the conflict broke out.
01:12:28.000In addition, the United States and Israel had made steps to bolster their defenses.
01:12:34.000They deployed missile defense systems like Patriot missile batteries and THAD systems.
01:12:39.000The U.S. moved its troops out of harm's way, called on diplomatic personnel at embassies to evacuate Israel opened bomb shelters.
01:12:48.000So it was very clear, as you know, that since those protests in January, about a month and a half ago, when the United States moved to deploy all this military power in the region, that we were moving towards war.
01:13:42.000And that's not just Fordo, Esfahan, and Natans, which is where they enriched the uranium, but also Bushir, where Iran operates a Russian-provided nuclear power plant.
01:13:54.000And lastly, they targeted, and this is the big one, regime military assets.
01:13:59.000So missile launch platforms, their missile manufacturing cities, where they actually have underground an entire city to build their missiles.
01:14:09.000The U.S. targeted their Navy, targeted their defense ministry, their intelligence ministry, the executive function of the military, and all the hardware.
01:14:19.000Very shortly after the strikes began, and rumors surfaced of this on social media, video was posted, the president made a statement.
01:14:29.000And I have to tell you, this was the most disturbing, surreal thing I think I've witnessed, maybe since the COVID pandemic.
01:14:39.000And if you saw this live, you know what I'm talking about.
01:14:42.000The president posted a formal address last night announcing the operation and discussing the goals of the operation and some expectations about what will happen.
01:14:52.000And he announced it wearing no necktie in a baseball cap that says USA in front of a black curtain by himself.
01:15:03.000And without getting too much into this quite yet, because we will arrive there eventually, there is something particularly surreal when you measure and weigh the gravity of the situation and its significance for the United States.
01:15:18.000Obviously, the United States has been involved in the Middle East for a very long time, doing exactly this sort of thing.
01:15:25.000Regime change, proxy warfare, fighting terrorism, ostensibly, deploying massive amounts of air, sea, and ground power.
01:15:36.000And the entire conceit of this MAGA movement of President Trump, the whole reason we're doing this, nominally, this was supposed to be in opposition to the Iraq war and to the legacy of the Iraq war and all of the other associated interventions.
01:15:57.000Now, we know that the same people that were behind the war in Iraq, they're the same people that have been beating the drum for war in Iran for just as much time.
01:16:07.000And they have tried to pressure many presidents into doing this, and they have moved the United States closer to a conflict like this.
01:16:15.000And so Trump, being the one who was supposed to challenge and oppose all of this, who repudiated it and created this successful political movement, now to be delivering for the same people, repudiating those people and their agenda, for him now to be serving them, delivering for them what they have wanted for so long, number one on their wish list.
01:16:59.000Does the popular will matter in our representative democracy, in our republic?
01:17:06.000If we vote to repudiate a policy, a foreign interest group, a special interest group, repudiate a particular agenda, and we get that agenda anyway, that war, those people, regardless, what does that say about the political state, the actual true political reality of the United States of America?
01:17:29.000If anything, it just verifies what Trump said from the very beginning, which is that we are no longer in control.
01:17:49.000The Constitution, representative democracy, our republic is effectively over.
01:17:55.000You can vote for a candidate that repudiates the global war on terror, the war in Iraq, regime change, someone that explicitly promises not to bring us into new conflicts.
01:18:08.000Someone that explicitly campaigns as the peace president, no new wars, and you'll get all of it anyway.
01:19:18.000The Iranian regime, obviously Iran is going nowhere.
01:19:22.000territory, the population, they're not going anywhere.
01:19:26.000But this regime, which was thrust into power during the revolution in 1979, Trump is making the case that they are an international pariah, a threat to the United States, an historic adversary of the United States, and therefore, that is why they have to go.
01:19:57.000That's not a speech about nuclear weapons, missiles.
01:20:01.000It's not a speech about bringing them to the negotiating table.
01:20:05.000Obviously, that's a regime change speech.
01:20:08.000Further, he makes it even more explicit.
01:20:11.000He announced the targets of the strike.
01:20:14.000He said that the United States and Israel launched a joint operation targeting Iran's Navy, its missile production facilities, and regime targets.
01:20:24.000He called upon the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian armed forces to lay down their arms or they would die.
01:20:32.000He then said that upon the conclusion of the operation, he invites the Iranian people to emerge from shelter and to take their country back.
01:20:45.000He effectively said, I am giving you the opportunity.
01:20:48.000I am neutralizing the Iranian government and its military and the regime.
01:20:52.000And once we're finished, you will emerge and take back your country.
01:20:57.000And so every aspect of this speech is critical.
01:21:01.000He is making the case that the regime must be toppled, talking about destroying all of the regime's assets, killing all of their personnel, calling for a complete and total surrender.
01:21:14.000And in the end, after all that, calling upon the Iranian people to rise up, have a coup and install a new regime.
01:21:46.000The Israelis have assassinated their scientists.
01:21:50.000With Israel, we have launched cyber attacks on their infrastructure, not just nuclear, but also other vital critical infrastructure.
01:21:58.000There has been espionage, industrial sabotage.
01:22:02.000We have gone to war with their proxies, like the Houthis in Yemen.
01:22:06.000We have launched strikes against their positions in other countries too.
01:22:10.000We have been in a state of war for a long time.
01:22:13.000But because the objectives of these other operations have been limited, people don't call it a war.
01:22:20.000They say these are operations to neutralize the nuclear program, or this is meant to increase our leverage in negotiations, or it's some form of a proxy war, and this is about rolling back their soft or hard influence across the region.
01:22:37.000Well, tonight, nobody can deny we are now engaged against Iran in a full-fledged regime change war.
01:22:47.000Now, what's more, as we discussed for the past couple of weeks, everybody suspected that we would eventually use this military power that is forward-deployed against Iran.
01:22:58.000The question concerning that operation is what the goal of that would be and how it would be accomplished.
01:23:07.000Now, this matters very deeply because the kind of force that has been deployed into the region, as you have probably noticed, is a naval force and an air force.
01:23:55.000Now, this creates a conundrum here, because again, if the goal is the maximalist objective, which is to topple the Iranian regime, we are going all the way.
01:24:07.000Again, it's not about degrading their capabilities.
01:24:46.000Because although you can bomb civilian government facilities, you can bomb military facilities, you can destroy the Navy, you can destroy hardware, anti-aircraft systems.
01:24:58.000On the other side of all of the bombing, there are still going to be 200,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps soldiers, and they will be armed.
01:25:11.000On the other side of this, you are still going to have, all in all, all in, about a million Iranian security personnel between the IRGC, the Iranian armed forces, and the internal security forces.
01:25:28.000You can cut off the head of the snake.
01:25:30.000You can kill some or half or all of the regime.
01:25:33.000You can blow up all of their major weapon systems.
01:25:38.000But on the other side of the bombing campaign, there will be a country of 90 million people.
01:25:44.000And the only apparatus in place to control those people with the use of force that is organized into a hierarchy behind an ideology with some semblance of legitimacy, with experience, it's going to be the very same Iranian regime.
01:26:17.000The small weapons are still in the hands of the army.
01:26:21.000And unless you actually have an alternative invading force, whether that is a U.S. ground invasion, an invasion from a neighboring state, whether you have proxies from inside the country, sectarian groups, separatist groups, anti-government groups, unless there is an alternative force that is armed, that is numerous, that is organized, and is able to communicate.
01:26:50.000And unless that group has legitimacy and can earn the support of the country, well, all things considered, on the other side of the conflict, the most likely successor to the Iranian regime is the Iranian regime.
01:27:05.000It may not be the exact same people, but it will be the same security apparatus.
01:27:11.000And so this is the big conundrum here.
01:27:14.000We have deployed all the air and sea power.
01:27:27.000If you watch the news, they report that there have been over 900 airstrikes, that the U.S. and Israel have air superiority in most of the country.
01:27:39.000We have assassinated the Ayatollah, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
01:27:44.000We have assassinated some of the top military and civilian government leadership.
01:27:49.000We have probably, by the end of this, will have destroyed their entire Navy, all of their missiles, all of their missile production facilities, and so on.
01:28:02.000People are saying this is a great success.
01:28:05.000And they say that perhaps the American public and the world will get with the program and rally behind this when they see the outcome, when they see the effectiveness of it.
01:28:15.000But that is where we stand under 24 hours into the operation.
01:28:20.000Where will we be when the bombs stop dropping?
01:28:41.000It says, quote, President Trump and Israel launched attacks on Iran with the ambitious aim of bringing down the regime in Tehran, a goal that promises heavy use of force and which will rattle Gulf allies concerned about a wider regional war and instability on their doorstep.
01:28:57.000U.S. and Israeli forces went hard at Iran beginning early Saturday, attacking Iran's leaders and symbols of the regime, in addition to military assets that Iran would need to fight a war.
01:29:07.000Heavy strikes were expected to continue for days.
01:29:11.000Israeli strikes focused on high-value officials and Iran's missile capabilities, while the U.S. attacks went after military targets.
01:29:19.000In a speech posted on True Social, Trump said the strikes are weakening Iran's rulers and called on Iran's people to take the opening as a once-in-a-generation chance to topple the regime.
01:29:31.000He said, quote, when we are finished, take over your government.
01:29:51.000Now fighting for its survival, the Iranian regime launched a wave of missile attacks on U.S. military bases in some Gulf states as well as on Israel.
01:30:01.000Iranian missiles are headed towards bases in Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates.
01:30:06.000They've also been launched against Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraqi Kurdistan, and Israel.
01:30:12.000U.S. officials haven't yet outlined a plan for who would take control of Iran in the event that the regime falls or how to avoid a chaotic power struggle among factions within the Iranian regime and its divided opposition.
01:30:26.000So this is what you need to understand about the dynamic here.
01:30:51.000We'll get back into this equation here.
01:30:54.000This war, unlike last year, is specifically focused on Iran's missiles.
01:31:00.000Last year, the U.S. and Israel took out Iran's nuclear program.
01:31:03.000We destroyed their biggest centrifuge facilities.
01:31:06.000We apparently made their stockpile of highly enriched uranium inaccessible.
01:31:11.000Arguably, we set back the program several years, and we increased Iran's breakout time from when they might decide to make a nuclear weapon to when they acquire one from weeks to possibly years.
01:31:25.000And so, we neutralize that deterrent capability of Iran.
01:31:29.000In this war, we're going after their missile program.
01:31:32.000Iran has built thousands of ballistic missiles, which are being intercepted as we speak, but if launched in a surprise attack in large enough volleys, may not be able to be intercepted.
01:31:46.000And so, this is the only military capability that Iran has to defend itself.
01:31:52.000Its air defenses, its air force, its navy are completely inferior to the United States and Israel.
01:31:59.000However, it is their mass production of cheap ballistic missiles, and they source components from China and Russia, and they're making hundreds of them all the time.
01:32:10.000It is this massive stockpile and capability to mass-produce missiles, which truly threatens Israel and the United States.
01:32:19.000If Israel and the United States engage in operations, and you're seeing it today, Iran can launch missiles, and not all of them, but a small percentage can actually strike at Israeli and American civilian or government sites.
01:32:35.000And this is the only capability that Iran has.
01:32:38.000That's sort of their only resort if Israel and America attack.
01:32:43.000So, the purpose of this war, what Trump said specifically in the speech, is to destroy their capability to make missiles and destroy their missile stockpiles.
01:32:54.000Now, this gives us some clues here, because again, when you think about the kind of force that is deployed in the region and the goals, it doesn't work.
01:33:04.000We're bombing the big stuff, but in four days, in a week, in two weeks, when this is all over, who is at this point the most likely contender to take power?
01:33:15.000It's not going to be the Iranian people because the Iranian people are not organized.
01:33:21.000They don't have backing from a superpower patron, or at the minimum, coordinating with them on the ground.
01:33:27.000Have to assume some of that is happening, but we haven't seen any real movement take hold, least of all in the protest last month.
01:33:35.000So, the people cannot spontaneously get together and form a new government.
01:33:41.000If that's the case, then in a week or two weeks' time after the bombs start dropping, the only force that is even capable of picking up the pieces, of enforcing any semblance of order in the country, will be the same security apparatus as before.
01:33:57.000It's going to be the Revolutionary Guard.
01:34:31.000We killed about 100 palace guards, Cuban intelligence, and Venezuelan security forces, kidnapped Maduro, in the hopes that the successor, who was a part of the same apparatus, would be more open to negotiating.
01:34:46.000And they see what happens to the president.
01:34:48.000They see what the United States is capable of, and they realize that you can't win this one.
01:34:55.000Your defenses, your defensive capabilities will not work.
01:34:59.000You cannot inflict pain on the United States.
01:35:06.000And so the choice of the vice president is you're either going to go the way of Maduro and die or be imprisoned, or you're going to find a way to work with the United States.
01:36:06.000Decapitate the regime, kill the Ayatollah, kill the top IRGC commanders, make them vulnerable and defenseless, remove hope from the equation.
01:36:16.000Without a navy, without missiles, without their high-ranking security personnel, they must realize they are completely vulnerable.
01:36:25.000They are completely defenseless and completely open.
01:36:28.000Is that perhaps the calculation that whoever, whether it's the second, third, fourth, fifth guy in the chain of command, whoever survives, when that person rises above, maybe it's some other faction or element in the security services, whoever survives and claims to speak for the remnant of the Iranian regime, maybe the Trump administration is counting on that person simply being willing to negotiate.
01:36:58.000And you leave the internal security apparatus in place.
01:37:02.000You don't go like you did in Iraq and put them all on trial and kill all of them and de-bathify them, re-educate them and reintegrate them or something like that.
01:37:13.000But you simply swap out an obstinate leader with a more pliant leader and you work on a new understanding where the Iranian regime can cooperate with the United States.
01:37:26.000Now, here are the problems with this way of thinking.
01:37:29.000Again, you're not going to remove an entrenched regime with air and sea power alone.
01:37:38.000They know that if they really wanted to replace all these people, they would need a rival security service, political faction, and nothing of that sort exists.
01:37:47.000There are people that oppose the regime.
01:37:50.000There are other claimants to rule Iran, but none of them have the necessary support.
01:37:54.000None of them have the necessary organization or weapons.
01:37:58.000So it looks very unlikely that, again, any force other than a remnant of the Iranian security apparatus will rule afterward.
01:38:07.000And you have to expect that the Trump administration knows that.
01:38:11.000And so perhaps this is the expectation.
01:38:14.000They will pound Iran, hit them so hard, again, make them utterly defenseless so that there is not even the delusion, there is not even the myth that Iran is going to be striking a carrier with a hypersonic missile, that Iran is going to destroy Israel with thousands of missiles in a huge volley.
01:38:35.000And they will have to come to terms and negotiate with the United States on our terms.
01:38:42.000Well, here's the problem with this way of thinking.
01:38:46.000Famously, Tucker Carlson challenged Ted Cruz, who was in favor of an operation like this and said, how many people live in Iran?
01:39:00.000What does it matter how many people live there?
01:39:02.000Well, it actually matters quite a bit because a country three times the size of Iraq with 90 million people and a million soldiers is not actually going to be subdued by bombs.
01:39:16.000What happens the day or the week after Iran's military is utterly destroyed?
01:39:42.000There will be a lapse in critical infrastructure, public services.
01:39:46.000You're looking at the bottom falling out from the country.
01:39:49.000And that will actually create a vacuum.
01:39:51.000It will actually embolden and buttress the Iranian security force because there will be a need for order and only that force will be able to provide it.
01:40:02.000What's more, here's the other problem with this.
01:40:05.000So Iran's security force is going to be there attacking Iran, bombing all their cities, killing potentially hundreds, maybe thousands of civilians.
01:40:15.000What effect does that have on the resolve of Iranians and of the Iranian political leadership?
01:40:23.000If it's a remnant of the Iranian security forces, who is to say that these people, the survivors who just watched their friends, colleagues, leaders, spiritual figures get murdered in a war of aggression, who is to say those people are now going to roll over for the United States?
01:40:45.000Perhaps that works in Venezuela, a much smaller country in terms of territory and population, ruled over by corrupt people with no real ideology, not religious zealots, not even particularly nationalistic, maybe not even ideological anymore, but just plutocrats, just crony socialists or something.
01:41:09.000Maybe that works in Venezuela, where they're more worried about their personal enrichment or survival.
01:41:15.000But in Iran, a regime that is literally created by religious police, secret police, a vanguard revolutionary paramilitary with an eschatological opinion and interpretation of their own country and its role in the future of the universe, who is to say that the remnant of that security service is not going to be more hardcore than what came before?
01:41:43.000Who's to say that they will not be more emboldened and their resolve won't be hardened after the strikes?
01:41:55.000Obviously then this remnant, whether they're in favor or against the United States, they will seek to rebuild.
01:42:02.000Just as the Iranian regime after Midnight Hammer began to rebuild the nuclear infrastructure and their missile capability, you have to imagine that the remnant of the Iranian security forces is going to try to rebuild also.
01:42:16.000It may be a much taller order and basically impossible, but we have to entertain the scenario, maybe the most likely scenario, that hardliners come to power, they retain control of the country rather than an uprising of the people, and they go to work building more missiles in the military.
01:42:35.000So what does the United States do then?
01:43:26.000Nuclear bomb on top of a missile, that would pose a problem for Israel and the United States.
01:43:33.000So that is a deterrent that prevented us from operating in Iranian territory.
01:43:39.000But it was also their ballistic missile program.
01:43:42.000Maybe the United States wasn't willing to go in, but Israel always wanted to go into Iran.
01:43:49.000They were worried about the nuclear program, but they're also worried about the missiles, as you saw last year.
01:43:55.000When Israel forced our hand to intervene in Iran, it was Israel that had to tap out.
01:44:01.000It was they that had to plead with Washington to intervene to bring an end to the conflict because Israel was being bombarded with wave after wave of hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles, drones, cruise missiles, and they were running out of interceptors to shoot them down.
01:44:20.000So why could Israel not intervene over Iran's skies?
01:44:24.000Because if they did, they would be bombarded with missiles and it would shut down their country.
01:44:29.000It's a very small country with not a lot of population centers, and it's hard to have commerce.
01:44:35.000It's hard to keep people there if your airports and your cities and residential buildings are being hit with hypersonic ballistic missiles.
01:44:44.000So Israel could not intervene unless the missiles were destroyed.
01:44:51.000Now that Iran's nuclear hedge has been obliterated by Midnight Hammer last year and the operation today, now that its missile capacity has been severely degraded and its navy, which might be able to close the Strait of Hormuz, now Iran is truly defenseless.
01:45:09.000And what this does is it creates options for further engagement.
01:45:16.000So you might think this is the climax.
01:45:18.000This is the be-all end-all, just as you might have thought the climax was last year.
01:45:29.000I think that when we look back in history, this will be characterized as yet another operation to degrade Iran's military capabilities, just like Midnight Hammer, just like the other operations, just like the industrial sabotage, assassinating the scientists, just like all these other operations.
01:45:50.000This is about systematically defeating in detail Iran's military so that we can open up a front against Iran in perpetuity.
01:46:03.000So in short, what happens when Iran's security force takes back control over the country?
01:46:09.000And maybe it's led by a hardliner, maybe it's led by another reformer.
01:46:14.000Well, if diplomacy fails, now Israel and the United States, we can operate in Iran with impunity.
01:46:23.000If Iran doesn't play ball when this is over in six months, in a year, it costs us nothing to intervene.
01:46:32.000And this is the operational goal, which is to achieve the same situation in Iran as you had in Syria for 15 years.
01:46:42.000In the same way that Israel took control of Syria's skies and airspace and launched airstrikes constantly degrading the Assad regime and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard there, Israel seeks to open up the exact same front in Iran.
01:47:00.000This is actually just the beginning of a new chapter.
01:47:03.000This is another operational strike to further degrade Iran's military so that there can be future operations.
01:47:12.000And the ultimate goal is the regime change.
01:47:16.000The ultimate goal, I imagine, is to eventually create a situation, either at the end of this or some other operation in the future, where through CIA and Mossad backing, Shinbet, whoever, they are going to back a liberal democratic force, presumably.
01:47:40.000They will eventually replace the Iranian regime.
01:47:44.000And then that Iranian regime will be subordinated to Israel in exactly the same way as has happened to Syria and to Iraq and to other countries.
01:48:32.000And although Iran has retaliated with missile strikes on the Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, even though they've launched a lot of missiles at all these countries, it doesn't seem that it's done a ton of damage.
01:48:46.000Or if there are unreported casualties, it doesn't seem they are substantial.
01:48:51.000And Iran's ability to defend itself or respond has been vastly exaggerated.
01:48:58.000There was this idea for a time that we would lose this war, that we don't know what we're in for.
01:49:04.000Operation True Promise number 72 is on its way.
01:49:40.000The only ability for Iran to respond might be a false flag, terror attack, or a real terror attack by an Iranian cell in Europe or the United States.
01:49:48.000Outside of that, they have no real ability to hurt any strategic American targets.
01:49:56.000Now, this is something that we have to contend with.
01:50:00.000Because if the Trump administration is successful, let's be honest here.
01:50:05.000If we pull this off without a hitch, let's say we destroy Iran's military and no Americans die, then that is a true miracle.
01:50:17.000If the United States confronts Iran like this, we hit them so hard and we don't lose a single plane, ship, helicopter, we don't lose a single life.
01:50:27.000And Iran, which was propped up to be this huge threat and a regional player, well, this is a victory.
01:51:11.000Well, I can already see that a lot of people that are opposed to this conflict are talking about blowback, foreign wars, the cost, all these things.
01:51:54.000Debathification, putting the culprits of the war crimes on trial, creating a new government, security apparatus, a new political culture, and then having to maintain order between rival tribes and rival sects of Islam.
01:52:10.000And that cost a lot of money and a lot of lives.
01:52:57.000What do you say to Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin then if hardly any Americans die?
01:53:02.000And I know that sounds terrible, but if we destroy Iran's regime and, you know, maybe a dozen American soldiers die, the American public will look at that and say, that's worth it.
01:53:14.000That is what the American public will say.
01:54:50.000The reason that we were brought into this engagement is because Israel seeks regional hegemony in the Middle East.
01:54:59.000This has been their plan for decades and decades.
01:55:04.000They sized up their neighbors in the 1970s and they looked at all of the Arab or Muslim or other countries arrayed against them.
01:55:13.000And they realized that if they wanted to truly be secure and safe and powerful, They would have to systematically defeat in detail, confront all of their enemies, destroy their regimes, and dismember their states.
01:55:28.000And only then would Israel be free to expand their territory, gain access to vital resources, and be able to secure its borders.
01:55:58.000Iran is much larger than those countries.
01:56:00.000Much larger population, bigger territory, ancient history, bigger middle class, more money, more oil revenue, bigger military.
01:56:10.000When Iraq went down, Iran came in and they backed Shiite militias there and they gained a foothold in the country.
01:56:18.000It's called the Popular Mobilization Forces.
01:56:21.000And when Assad was weakened, not defeated, but weakened, it was the Iranian Revolutionary Guard which deployed in Syria to fend off ISIS and the Kurds and all those other groups.
01:56:33.000And in doing this, Iran created a pipeline.
01:56:37.000They had personnel in Iraq, in Syria, and that connected them to their proxies.
01:56:43.000Hezbollah in Lebanon, which shares the border with Israel, but also the Houthis in Yemen, which they created and which they supported when they took power in 2013.
01:56:57.000They took down Iraq, took down Syria, and then Iran being the big one, having the bigger military, having the bigger population, having the superior everything, and creating this proxy network, this was their final rival in the region.
01:57:37.000Israel stripped away their nuclear program, destroyed their missile program, so that now they can achieve what they always wanted, which is to topple the Iranian regime so that Israel can expand in every direction.
01:58:17.000The U.S. maintains a presence there, and they don't have a strong and powerful military.
01:58:22.000In Syria, after the Assad regime was ousted in 2024, Israel, or rather in 2025, I believe it was, Israel, no, it was 24, Israel came in and destroyed all of the Assad regime's military hardware, leaving Syria utterly defenseless.
01:58:40.000Israel defeated Hezbollah and now is using U.S. influence in Lebanon to placate that country also.
01:58:47.000If Iran is out of the picture, all you have to do is take a look at a map.
01:59:25.000Well, most likely to expand their territory.
01:59:28.000Without Iran backing Palestinian Islamic jihad in Hamas, Israel can pretty easily push the Palestinians out of the occupied territories without having to worry about Saudi Arabia and its influence with the United States and that arrangement.
01:59:45.000Saudi Arabia's conditioned rapprochement with Israel upon Palestinian statehood.
01:59:50.000If Israel doesn't have to worry about it, again, they can push the Palestinians out.
01:59:54.000So what surely comes of Iranian regime change is that Israel first takes the West Bank, takes Gaza.
02:00:48.000What's more, with Iran out of the picture, now you have this all-important region, sea routes, overland trade routes.
02:00:56.000Think about the commerce that runs through this region between Asia, Europe, and Africa, through the Suez Canal, through the Strait of Hormuz.
02:01:03.000Think about all the energy in the Persian Gulf.
02:01:07.000Think about that vital highway between these continents where there will be rail and highways, where there will be plane routes, where there will be sea routes through these all-important choke points.
02:01:19.000This is the most influential region in the Eurasian-African continent.
02:01:25.000This is the connector between the three.
02:01:28.000If Israel controls that region, how rich, how powerful can they become?
02:01:34.000Again, without being checked, without being restrained, constrained by any strategic or tactical imperatives because of rivals in their neighborhood.
02:02:01.000The United States can furnish other Middle Eastern countries with weapons, but we are bound by law that we cannot give any country more weapons than we give Israel.
02:02:13.000If we give Saudi Arabia F-35s, we got to give Israel twice as many.
02:02:17.000If we give Saudi Arabia the latest and greatest F-35, we got to give Israel something even more advanced.
02:02:24.000By law, we are required to furnish them.
02:02:27.000They are entitled to a qualitative, conventional military edge with air power, missile defense, probably soon to be AI and other things.
02:02:46.000And they are influential in the court of the United States.
02:02:49.000So in the end, if some other country becomes a problem in the event that that's even possible, they can always call the White House reliably and we'll bail them out.
02:03:01.000And what we have effectively created here, this is the point, is a rival superpower.
02:03:07.000What we have created is a nuclear power with a very sophisticated conventional military and an intelligence apparatus.
02:03:16.000And we have handed them control over one of the most important regions in the world.
02:03:21.000Most important choke points, trade routes, energy, some of the most cash in the world.
02:03:27.000How much cash is in the sovereign wealth funds of the Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris?
02:03:35.000And as the United States, or rather, as the world order undergoes a revolution, as China rises, India rises, as the world transitions from unipolar to multipolar, as we enter the age of complexity, of complex interactions between all states and all peoples and all states, who will benefit from the arbitrage?
02:03:58.000Who will be the ultimate middleman between China and the United States, between India and Pakistan, between Turkey and Greece, between Asia and Europe, between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea?
02:04:35.000But in the end, that's not really the root of the problem.
02:04:38.000The root of the problem, my issue with Iranian regime change, is that we are creating an Israeli superpower that not even we will be able to restrain.
02:05:58.000But these are incompetent people, as we saw with Hezbollah, as we saw with Hamas and the Houthis.
02:06:04.000They were a paper tiger, and so was Iran, the source of them all.
02:06:08.000Maybe they should have built a nuclear bomb.
02:06:11.000If Israel has 300 nuclear bombs and they wage war on their neighbors and they threaten the United States, what's one more in the region to balance it out?
02:06:22.000At least then we could put our finger on that scale as we do, as we have with other countries.
02:06:38.000Look at how they have infiltrated the United States and how they wheeled the United States through our political system, through our financial system.
02:06:47.000Look at how they have used us like an instrument to achieve their goals, to empower themselves.
02:08:46.000It is playing into the hands of the Zionists.
02:08:49.000Because when the United States wins this war, without anybody really dying or without it costing a ton of money, when this is as successful as people need it to be to approve of it, all these people are going to look like idiots because they're all, Mark Levin and Shapiro are going to rub it in your face and say, oh, yeah, remember when everybody said this is going to be another Iraq?
02:09:10.000So we need to be very clear-minded about what it is we have a problem with here.
02:09:14.000And the last thing I'll say about it, and then we'll move on, we'll take a look at super chats, is consider the role of the Trump administration and all of it.
02:09:24.000When Trump got in office in 2016, he did so with help from APAC, with help from Sheldon and Miriam Adelson.
02:09:32.000And that assistance came with a price tag.
02:09:35.000He was empowered by the conservative movement, which is a glove.
02:09:39.000I mean, it's a tool of the Israel lobby.
02:09:43.000And so Trump got into office and almost immediately he unilaterally pulled the United States out of the Iranian nuclear deal, setting us on our way down this road.
02:09:53.000Obama had made a nuclear deal to the chagrin of the Israelis.
02:09:57.000The Israelis hated Obama, hated the deal.
02:10:00.000Obama conducted the negotiations in secret and the Israelis were not happy.
02:10:07.000They wanted Trump to win so that Trump could undo what Obama had done and he delivered.
02:10:13.000Trump ripped us out of the nuclear deal and set us down the path, unilaterally withdrew the United States and then threatened Europe, that if they didn't pull out of the deal, then he would put secondary sanctions on them.
02:10:28.000And then in 2020, Trump took the fight to Iran's proxies.
02:10:32.000He killed Qasim Soleimani, the head of the IRGC, the architect of the proxy network.
02:10:39.000He designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization to increase sanctions on them.
02:10:44.000He put maximum pressure on Iran economically.
02:10:48.000After Trump left office in 2020, Israel went to work under the Biden administration, cyber attacks on Iran's infrastructure, assassinating their nuclear scientists.
02:11:00.000industrial sabotage, blowing up their oil refineries, their factories, their defense facilities.
02:11:07.000Do you know that Joe Biden was nearly going to reconstitute the Iranian nuclear deal in 2022?
02:11:51.000And that whole deal not only was put on ice, but it went in reverse.
02:11:56.000And Israel began a campaign to systematically destroy all of Iran's deterrent capabilities.
02:12:02.000First, its proxy network, taking out Hamas and the Palestinians in the West Bank, then confronting Hezbollah, toppling the Assad government and ejecting the IRGC, degrading the Houthis in Yemen.
02:12:16.000And then when they got Trump elected in 2025, they got what they always wanted, which was to strike on Fordo, on Esfahan, on Natans to take out their nuclear hedge.
02:12:30.000It could not have been done without Trump.
02:12:33.000Could not have been done because the Israelis wheeled the Republican Party.
02:12:39.000Trump told us the Iraq war was a mistake and we should have never been there and they didn't even have weapons of mass destruction, all this kind of stuff.
02:12:49.000And he gave them everything that they wanted.
02:12:52.000He utterly betrayed MAGA and the foundational pillar of America First, which is repudiating the legacy of the Iraq war.
02:13:23.000This is what it was designed to be, which is they came up with a conceit to trick people to vote for them by promising things they never intended to deliver.
02:13:37.000A border wall, mass deportations, reindustrialization.
02:14:07.000It's just too difficult because of the law, because of the Democrats, because of the media, because of whatever.
02:14:14.000But slowly but surely, the United States has assisted Israel in achieving their ultimate plan, which is toppling Iran and all of its proxies.
02:14:27.000So when they go in 2026 to ask for your vote, you need to remember this.
02:14:34.000Remember that the Republican Party is building Israel as a superpower while they kill America.
02:14:42.000While America is being killed by diversity and illegal immigration by Haitians and Somalians and illegal Hispanics and I know ordinary Hispanics too, I guess, and black people, all these problems that we have that Republicans don't do anything about.
02:14:59.000Where's our National Guard in the cities?
02:15:07.000While they are complicit in the destruction of this superpower, the Republican Party is building a rival superpower that hates us, that hates us.
02:15:18.000So people go out and say, yeah, well, it's a lesser of two evils.
02:15:22.000Yeah, well, it's better than the Democrats.
02:17:55.000And what we need in 2028, this is our last chance.
02:17:59.000We need in 2026 for this administration to be shut the fuck down.
02:18:04.000What does this administration do other than cover up the Epstein files, embezzle money through government contracts, and bring us to war for Israel?
02:18:12.000This administration needs to be shut down immediately.
02:22:13.000We got persecuted for this the first time.
02:22:16.000We are the OG vanguard of American nationalism.
02:22:20.000We have to make a comeback in 28, and we have to take our own side.
02:22:25.000We have to be the biggest, loudest faction, and the GOP needs to know they cannot, will not win without us, and we're going to let them fail if we have to.
02:22:40.000If you're not serious about letting the Epstein-Iran war administration and presidential ticket fail, then you are a sucker.
02:22:49.000You might as well go sign up to flick the lights on and off for them on Saturdays at that point.
02:22:56.000If Ben Shapiro wouldn't vote for Trump in 2016, if he was willing to let Hillary Clinton win, then we better be just as willing not to vote in 28 for the person that betrayed Americans that brought us to war in Iran.
02:23:10.000And if you can't do that, again, you have no right to be a free people.
02:23:47.000They are delighted to consign the American empire to destruction while they look forward to a golden age, while they look forward to a century of empire and domination.
02:23:59.000Maybe we can't stop it, but I'm not going along with it.
02:32:16.000Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people by Queen Esther, Esther, Project Esther from Heritage, from annihilation at the hands of the Persian Empire, as it is recounted in the book of Esther.
02:32:54.000No, the Jewish state, using its Jewish influence in America, brought us to war on a Jewish holiday against the Jews' eternal enemy, but it has nothing to do with Judaism.
02:33:06.000Leave those Orthodox Jews like Ben Shapiro alone.
02:36:20.000It's because, you know, at the end of the day, you forget not only am I funny and hilarious and an edgelord and everything, I'm also the number one most talented, best in the world at what I do.
02:40:52.000Ready to drop the $1,000 annual, but scared to do it because I got removed last time for being annoying and I don't want to be instantly banned.
02:42:22.000What happened in 2016 shook everything to the core.
02:42:26.000And the world has not been put back together, really.
02:42:29.000Trump came out in 2016 with a radical notion that America would be governed by the people, that we would take the country back, that we would reclaim our sovereignty, our independence, our freedom, control over the government.
02:44:11.000We've all learned a lot of lessons about how all of this works.
02:44:14.000Voting and DC and influence campaigns and so on.
02:44:19.000And now it is incumbent on all of us to be students, learn this stuff, get engaged, and try to seize on the opportunity whenever it presents itself.
02:44:59.000Is there a real successor to the MAGA movement?
02:45:02.000Someone from the beginning, an OG who understands what's at stake, who is based, who understands what we're trying to do here?
02:45:10.000Or is the MAGA movement going to get folded back into the status quo in the way of JD Vance, who couldn't even be a bigger puppet if you wrote him in a story for the moneyed interests and for the foreign interests?
02:46:58.000Boomer Hell, Radioactive Trash, New Groyper, AF Ginger, Groyper Forever, Versace Groyper, Rizzlis Chud Grouper, Lane Groyper, Callie Groyper, Yappington, Hell, Silesia, Reno, Lane, and the Scenario.
