We are at a crossroads. We have to stop playing games and do the right thing. People don t realize what they have, people don't realize their potential, and they don't even realize they have the potential to change the world.

00:00:07.000But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:05:11.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:25.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:30.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:09.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:13.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:20.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:27.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:35.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:38.000And 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.
00:07:52.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:56.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:00.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:06.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:10.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:40.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:45.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:00.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:10.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:10:08.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:10:15.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
00:11:38.000Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs and little kids are...
00:11:49.000ice skating in the park, and people are driving around, and they're driving clean cars, and the houses are maintained and kept up, and you go down to the bakery, and you get a...
00:12:19.000we can't even get into the transportation.
00:12:21.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
00:12:27.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
00:13:04.000That's going to be, if I have kids, the generation of my grandchildren.
00:13:09.000They're going to be living in South Africa.
00:13:12.000Graffiti, violence, litter, weeds everywhere, dust and dirt and filth, and open sewage, and the water's poisonous, and the air is poisonous, and the government's unstable, and the entertainment is slop and trash.
00:13:51.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
00:13:57.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
00:14:02.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
00:14:09.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
00:22:02.000There have been, at the time of speaking now, at 8 o 'clock Central Time, on June 12th, there have been four waves of airstrikes against Iran.
00:22:14.000Started with a surprise attack that originated from inside Iran, actually.
00:22:21.000Wasn't even believed to be Israeli jets, maybe drones, something else.
00:22:26.000But an attack originating either in western Iran or inside Iraq, the first wave was launched in a surprise attack at Iran's airports, air bases, and in civilian neighborhoods where the commanding officers of the IRGC reside.
00:22:43.000There were assassination strikes against Iran's military commanders.
00:23:14.000I've been talking about it for a long time.
00:23:16.000But the world was surprised when Israel...
00:23:26.000There will be weeks of waves of attacks to degrade and destroy Iran's fortified nuclear facilities, which are buried deep underground and inside mountains, carried out by Iran's air force.
00:23:43.000Understanding that and their ultimate objective is key to understanding how things played out today.
00:23:49.000They targeted Iran's military commanders with assassination, primarily to disable Iran's command and control, but also to permanently scuttle any kind of diplomacy between Washington and Tehran.
00:24:04.000And as the days and weeks go on, Israel will return to Iran and continue to bomb and destroy those fortified nuclear facilities, rendering them defenseless.
00:24:15.000Final push probably will be full-on regime change.
00:25:30.000Knowing about Israel and about the influence of Israel through the global Jewish community in the United States and Europe This is the key to understanding how these events have unfolded, not just in the past two weeks, 60 days, not just in the past two years, but going back 100 years.
00:25:49.000Going back hundreds of years, people say, how am I able to predict the future?
00:25:57.000How am I seemingly able to create these prophecies that come true?
00:26:03.000Well, it's because I'm a low-IQ anti-Semite, I guess.
00:26:21.000And I'm a little bit smug because, of course, as you know, and as I've reminded you all the time, I did predict this a long time ago.
00:26:31.000I mean, I knew this was coming, and I warned people.
00:26:35.000Days, weeks, months, years in advance, I was vocally against Donald Trump for this reason.
00:26:43.000And to a lot of people, that was a mystery.
00:26:46.000It was so unexplicable, people actually thought I was working for the Democrats because they couldn't understand why anyone, much less someone like myself, would not be voting and enthusiastically supporting Donald Trump in 2024.
00:27:05.000But if you watch my show, and if you go to my Twitter timeline, if you go to my Telegram channel, if you watch my show, I was loudly and explicitly and vocally warning everybody that if we elect Trump, this was exactly the outcome we were going to get.
00:28:06.000They either weren't paying attention to this, it wasn't on their radar at all, or they made the wrong prediction.
00:28:15.000And as smug as I am about the whole situation, and believe me, it feels good in some way to be vindicated because it feels good to be right, this is a tragic day.
00:29:18.000Now, Israel has launched a surprise preemptive attack against Iran, and if you think this is limited in any way, it shows how ignorant you are.
00:29:27.000If anyone is saying that, if anyone's thinking that, If you think in any way this can or will be limited, you have no understanding of the dynamics of the Middle East.
00:29:40.000This is a conflict that could draw in every regional power, every non-state actor in the region, as well as the great power patrons like Russia and China.
00:30:22.000Depends on where you want it to start.
00:30:24.000But with the fall of Iran, which is maybe the inevitable result, although nothing's inevitable when it comes to war, there's a lot of uncertainty ahead.
00:30:53.000So it's unpredictable what will happen.
00:30:55.000It will certainly, surely draw in every regional power.
00:30:59.000But on the other side of it, if the Israelis prevail and Iran falls, we are talking about an era in history where Israel dominates the entire Middle East.
00:31:10.000They are unchained from the United States.
00:31:15.000I've said this, I've alluded to this for some time.
00:31:18.000This is the part that no one's even...
00:31:22.000They haven't even thought this far ahead.
00:31:24.000They haven't thought that many steps ahead.
00:31:26.000Maybe they don't even have the ability to.
00:31:29.000But what happens on the other side of the fall of Iran and the total conquest and domination of the Middle East by Israel is that they become the world power.
00:31:40.000All the Jews and all of the world capitals that are working for Israel suddenly they become our Suddenly they become our true master.
00:31:52.000They become viceroys of an Israeli empire.
00:31:58.000The days when the U.S. president has the ability to threaten to withhold foreign aid to Israel and make demands of that country, and for people like myself to go on Twitter and complain about these things, it's going to come to an end.
00:32:26.000I do just want to stress, point being, I'm a little bit glib, I'm a little bit smug, and there'll be some of that towards the end of the show, I'm sure, when we get into Super Chats.
00:32:39.000But I don't want anybody to think that I don't understand the gravity of the situation, that it doesn't weigh on me.
00:32:45.000It does, and it should weigh on everybody.
00:32:50.000So I just want to make that clear first, because I'm kind of being funny about it on Twitter, and I've been funny about it for a little while, but this is a pretty dreadful situation.
00:33:00.000But before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble.
00:33:05.000Smash the like button, leave a comment, let me know what you think about the show.
00:33:11.000Oh man, are you getting what you voted for?
00:35:43.000When you're in the drive-thru at Steak and Shake and they're using beef tallow instead of seed oils?
00:35:50.000Anyway, I don't want to spend too much time on that, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
00:35:56.000Yeah, no, it turns out that you can't trust campaign surrogates that work for the campaign to tell you the truth about that campaign.
00:36:06.000When everybody is taking money, when all the influencers are taking money from the GOP and from the Trump campaign, you actually can't trust them to tell the truth about that campaign and the prospects that they will keep their promises.
00:37:19.000I covered it last night and I said, look, this is how it's going to play out and here we are.
00:37:25.000And I spent a lot of time last night talking about the deep background on the entire situation in the Middle East, specifically between Iran and Israel.
00:37:34.000So I'm not going to spend too much time on all that stuff tonight.
00:38:06.000In the beginning of April, about a week after the Liberation Day for tariffs, Trump announced that he had initiated negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.
00:38:20.000And the terms of the deal were very flexible.
00:38:23.000Trump said it could be a long-term deal ratified by Congress.
00:38:27.000It could be a short-term interim agreement that was just merely a statement of principles without a ton of details or technical specifications.
00:38:56.000But our understanding is that Israel carried out a unilateral strike.
00:39:00.000That means they acted alone against Iran earlier tonight in successive waves.
00:39:07.000The first wave originated from western Iran or inside of Iraq.
00:39:11.000It was an attack on a residential neighborhood, civilian neighborhood, and those were believed to be assassination strikes.
00:39:20.000They were targeted at the residences of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and specifically their commanders.
00:39:27.000It's believed that the head of Iran's army is now dead.
00:39:31.000The chief of staff of Iran's army is now dead.
00:39:35.000And plausibly many other IRGC commanders are dead as well.
00:39:40.000Simultaneously, in Tehran, Iran's capital, military air bases and the civilian airport were also targeted.
00:39:49.000And then in successive other waves, second, third, and fourth waves by Israeli fighter jets, Israel targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, specifically at Isfahan and Natanz.
00:40:00.000They also targeted Iran's oil refineries.
00:40:07.000Israel has declared a state of emergency.
00:41:41.000The strikes are targeting air defenses, airstrips, nuclear facilities, energy facilities, radar, crippling Iran's military, their ability to destroy.
00:42:02.000Israeli jets perform launch maneuvers over eastern Iraq, another wave of airstrikes.
00:42:06.000So we're at now maybe five or six waves of airstrikes.
00:42:10.000Airstrikes against the Iraq heavy water facility in western Iran.
00:42:14.000Just very quickly on Iran's nuclear complex.
00:42:18.000Iran's ability to create highly enriched uranium and to refine plutonium is spread out across many cities in Iran in various types of facilities.
00:42:32.000Plutonium can be refined to make material for a bomb.
00:42:36.000Uranium can be enriched to make material for a bomb.
00:42:39.000Iran enriches uranium at two sites, Natanz and Fordow.
00:46:28.000We might cover it a little bit more tonight.
00:46:30.000But the reason that these strikes are happening now, the reason they had to happen now, is because we are in the middle of a very particular window of opportunity where Iran is extremely militarily vulnerable.
00:46:44.000And it's vulnerable because of developments on the battlefield in Israel's broader war in the entire Middle East.
00:46:50.000Specifically, Israel has, for the most part, neutralized Hamas.
00:46:55.000They still exist, and Hamas still has retained some fighting capacity, but they have been degraded significantly.
00:47:02.000And Israel's taken control of the Gaza Strip.
00:47:06.000They've established a buffer zone about 15 or 17 kilometers into the Gaza Strip all along the border with Israel.
00:47:13.000They have cut across the Gaza Strip and established security corridors, and they've closed all of the corridors to enter.
00:47:22.000All of the checkpoints where you can enter the Gaza Strip.
00:47:27.000So Israel took over the Gaza Strip and that process was basically finished by June of last year.
00:47:34.000And there was so much talk about the city of Rafa.
00:47:37.000You remember the assault on Rafa in May and June, which the Biden administration was attempting to delay and ultimately to stop.
00:47:45.000That was the last stronghold held by Hamas.
00:47:48.000That was the last major city that Israel had yet to lay siege to.
00:47:52.000Once that happened, Israel had effectively controlled Gaza.
00:47:56.000Then, more importantly, in October of last year, Israel launched their daring pager attack against Hizbaden.
00:48:17.000In southern Lebanon and invaded with ground forces, allegedly to destroy tunnels, to destroy defensive fortifications, rockets, raid villages.
00:48:26.000And then the big development, the final piece was the fall of the Assad regime in December of 2024.
00:48:36.000There was a surprise offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which was a Sunni group affiliated with al-Qaeda up in the north of Syria.
00:48:46.000They went through all of Syria, cut through very quickly, took the capital, overthrew Assad, and then in the aftermath of the fall of the Assad regime, Israel went in and bombed all of Syria's air defenses, air force, their navy, all their military equipment.
00:49:02.000And what this did by 2025, by the beginning of this year, is it created a situation where Iran had no regional proxy force.
00:49:12.000The IRGC, which is Iran's paramilitary force, was removed from Syria, and so the supply chain to Lebanon was severed.
00:49:20.000Hezbollah was neutralized by airstrikes, pager attacks, and ground operations, and Hamas was decisively defeated last year.
00:49:29.000This put Iran in a position of vulnerability.
00:49:32.000Add to that the inauguration of President Trump and the seating of a Republican House and Senate, and Israel had full clearance.
00:49:42.000Full assent from a Republican government in the United States to carry out the attacks.
00:49:47.000This is why this was all but inevitable.
00:49:50.000The table was set by January 20th, 2025, between the siege of Gaza, the Pedro attacks, and destruction of Hezbollah, the overthrow of Assad, and the election of Trump.
00:50:03.000These were the constellation of events that put Iran in the crosshairs.
00:50:08.000And that's why very early in the year...
00:50:48.000I'll be watching the live chat a little bit, and I'll try and keep an eye on this timeline, see if we get an update here.
00:50:56.000But so the table was set for these strikes against Iran by January of 2025, like I said, because Iran's proxies had been decisively rolled back and degraded, and the airspace had been cleared, in particular above Syria.
00:51:11.000For Israel to carry out these airstrikes, which you're seeing right now.
00:51:16.000Once that had happened, it was clear that Israel had intended on destroying Iran.
00:51:23.000Trump administration tried to shut this down.
00:51:26.000There was an intense battle inside the White House about these strikes.
00:51:30.000Apparently, as early as February and March, there were elements inside the Trump administration that were pushing the U.S. government to support and participate in A significant Israeli attack on Iran.
00:51:44.000And that pressure was coming from a handful of people.
00:51:46.000It was coming from the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, a former congressman from Florida.
00:51:52.000And it was coming from the Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
00:51:55.000It was also coming from the CENTCOM Commander Carilla.
00:51:59.000There were a few neocons aligned with Israel, some of them very close to Netanyahu that were pushing the Trump administration.
00:52:30.000They were pushing for imminent strikes.
00:52:33.000And then there were the restrainers and prioritizers, which were some elements of the National Security Council, people inside the Pentagon, Trump and Vance, and maybe Don Jr.
00:52:44.000They were in favor of diplomacy with Iran.
00:52:47.000So there was this personnel battle happening inside the White House, and that is why throughout March and April there were so many leaks and negative press and scandals and purges of personnel.
00:52:59.000Ten people fired from the National Security Council, a few people very close to Pete Hegseth were fired from the Pentagon, and there was a lot of reporting and talking about leaks and personnel inside the national security apparatus at that time because there was an intense ideological battle over whether we were going to support an Israeli war in Iran or whether we would support diplomacy.
00:53:33.000And this was reported on in April and then in May, that Israel was prepared to carry out strikes, but Trump did not give them the green light, didn't give them approval.
00:53:45.000Then in April, 60 days ago to the day, Ever since then, for the past 60 days, Israel has been trying to sabotage the talks, publicly and privately.
00:54:07.000Netanyahu and his allies in the media and his allies in the White House have been going to the press, and that includes, by the way, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
00:54:19.000They've been going to the press and trying to undercut the diplomacy by talking about how Iran is weeks away from a nuclear bomb.
00:54:27.000They have new plans, new schematics for a primitive nuclear device, saying that the only way to stop Iran is to blow them up, saying that the only acceptable deal is that Iran would have to completely denuclearize, meaning that even their civilian nuclear program would have to be dismantled.
00:55:05.000That all ended in the past couple of weeks.
00:55:08.000All that diplomacy, all of the apparent good faith and goodwill, best intentions, aspirations for peace.
00:55:16.000All came crumbling down in the past couple of weeks.
00:55:19.000And let's be very honest about what took place over the past 60 days.
00:55:25.000Although Trump and Steve Witkoff apparently wanted a diplomatic solution, and many people believed in them, and many people still believe in them somehow, the problem was always this.
00:55:40.000At the end of the day, Iran wants enrichment and the United States will never allow it.
00:55:47.000And in particular, Israel, with its influence over the United States, would never allow it.
00:55:53.000No amount of goodwill, no amount of tweeting and true social posts and rhetoric, none of that was ever going to overcome this fundamental paradox, this fundamental problem.
00:56:07.000No amount of goodwill was ever going to resolve the immense hostility and distrust between Iran and the United States in a matter of months or weeks.
00:56:18.000So there was so much pomp and high expectations and hope about these talks merely because they were going through the motions, merely because there was advertisement, marketing that this was happening.
00:56:34.000All along, the problem never got close to being solved.
00:56:39.000And let's break down specifically how these talks went.
00:56:44.000The first two rounds out of five that occurred between Steve Witkoff and Iran's foreign minister consisted in negotiating about negotiations.
00:58:09.000The U.S. position was we want to take away your missiles and your proxies and your nukes.
00:58:17.000And so Iran came into the negotiations originally to see, are we going to be talking about just the nuclear program or all these other things?
00:58:27.000That's what the first two weeks were about.
00:58:30.000The first two weeks were narrowing the negotiations to just the nuclear issue.
00:58:54.000The third and fourth round of talks, which occurred the following week and then two weeks after the third round of talks was the fourth round, they hit a dead end.
00:59:44.000We can enrich to what percentage, how much material, and sure enough, we will not let you take our capability to enrich off of our soil.
00:59:55.000And the United States said what we've always said, which is you cannot have enrichment.
01:00:01.000You cannot enrich uranium, and you cannot have the infrastructure to enrich uranium.
01:00:08.000That's why the third and fourth and then ultimately the fifth round of talks were fruitless.
01:00:13.000That's why they were difficult and tough.
01:00:17.000And there was some, you know, they tried to make it sound good.
01:00:21.000They said, well, it was still positive and still constructive.
01:00:24.000And there were various creative ideas floated.
01:00:26.000But the third, fourth and fifth rounds of talks ground to a halt immediately.
01:00:32.000Because they started to actually reconsider the proposition, which was considered 10 years ago in the original Iran nuclear deal, which is whether Iran's going to enrich.
01:02:07.000The sixth round of talks outside the deadline was scheduled for Friday, tomorrow at Oslo, where there's a big forum that's supposed to happen, or potentially on Sunday in Oman.
01:02:42.000So you can see these pictures, by the way.
01:02:45.000This shows that these are assassination strikes.
01:02:48.000It's very important to understand precisely what's happening here.
01:02:51.000In the first wave of attacks in Iran's capital in Tehran, which happened earlier tonight about three hours ago, Israel carried out targeted precision strikes against the residences, the homes of Iran's military personnel.
01:03:07.000So if you look at this picture, they didn't blow up the whole building.
01:03:58.000But it is relying on special forces to carry out operations on command, control, and communications to cause disorganization.
01:04:07.000If you can strike at the leadership and strike at the communication, then the army is disorganized and they cannot effectively respond to a major attack.
01:04:16.000So this has been Israeli doctrine for a very long time.
01:04:20.000They'll strike at the leadership, they'll strike at the comms system, and then they carry out the airstrikes, then they bring in the ground forces.
01:04:28.000I don't know that they'll bring in ground forces here, but that is traditionally how they've done it, like I said, in Lebanon.
01:04:34.000And the reason they do that, again, is to have this disproportionate, outsized kind of blitzkrieg effect.
01:04:40.000If you do a special operation first, kill some of the top guys, scatter the communications, then when you bring in the airstrike, they're not going to have an effective, organized defense.
01:05:06.000The second purpose is to derail negotiations.
01:05:09.000You have to understand the Israelis are very hip.
01:05:13.000And they understand that they need the United States in this fight.
01:05:18.000They have to make sure that diplomacy is dead.
01:05:23.000They have to salt the earth and make sure that there is no chance that the United States can resuscitate a deal or any off-ramp from hostilities with Iran.
01:05:33.000Killing personnel is the best way to do that.
01:05:36.000Because if you kill personnel, nobody in Iran's military and government is going to trust the United States.
01:05:43.000Nobody in Iran's military and government is going to, they're not even going to be able, if they wanted to, to sell that to the public.
01:08:10.000Israel knows that that is the case, and that is why they carried out the attack, and that is why the Israeli government is saying that we were involved, even if it's a lie.
01:08:19.000I don't think it is, but even if it was.
01:08:21.000Because that's their goal, is to draw us into the conflict, okay?
01:08:26.000So it doesn't really matter whether they were unilateral or not.
01:08:30.000Distinction without a difference will be blamed anyway.
01:08:32.000And Iran may only retaliate against Israel if there's any chance to avoid the U.S. intervening, but I doubt that they will.
01:10:49.000So just because we want to exist and have a right to exist doesn't mean we can kill everyone that isn't us.
01:10:56.000You know, and I'm taking it to its logical conclusion, the logical extremity, which is, You know, if we have a right to exist, well, I mean, theoretically, any other country having nukes threatens our existence.
01:11:09.000Does that mean we have a right to kill every other country?
01:13:11.000We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.
01:13:18.000Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense.
01:13:22.000President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners.
01:13:30.000Let me be clear, Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
01:15:55.000They survived the wars in 48 and 73. They were armed to fight the other wars in 56 and 67. They're armed to fight every other successive war.
01:16:07.000Their adversaries have been eradicated.
01:16:13.000Because of the United States, they owe their existence to the United States, to the generosity and the bravery, to the blood and the treasure of the United States of America.
01:16:27.000Where do they get off advising us of their decisions?
01:17:00.000In a just world, if we didn't have liars and traitors running our government, that is not how it would work.
01:17:08.000If you are a dependent, if you're taking with both hands, you actually don't have sovereignty.
01:17:14.000You don't get to do whatever you want.
01:17:16.000That should not be the conventional thinking inside the administration.
01:17:22.000They say, well, they're their own country.
01:17:24.000They're just telling us what they're going to do.
01:17:27.000If they're dependent on us, then we own them.
01:17:30.000We should be telling them what they do and don't do.
01:17:34.000We should be advising them what's in their best interest, not the other way around.
01:17:39.000If they're acting against our wishes without coordinating with us, opposed to our foreign policy and our interests, then why do we give them weapons?
01:23:01.000It's kind of difficult to see Israel here, but I kind of want to just take you back so we can understand here how this has all played out over the years.
01:23:09.000I don't know if we even really have a ton of it.
01:23:18.000Why don't we talk a little bit about capabilities?
01:23:21.000This is something we haven't really gotten into.
01:23:23.000So, you know, for as long as this has been going on, I guess this is really the big part of it we haven't explored yet.
01:23:31.000The key to understanding all of this, let's just say this first.
01:23:35.000The key to understanding the current situation, this is really the fundamental thing I think that a lot of people are missing is this.
01:23:43.000What you're hearing about this situation, about Iran, about the Middle East, about the crisis, you're hearing all the time about the nuclear program.
01:23:54.000You're hearing about the nuclear program.
01:23:57.000That's not really what is at stake here.
01:24:00.000And let me tell you what I mean by this.
01:24:03.000This crisis starts in 1948 when Israel declares its independence.
01:24:09.000Shortly after World War II, the United Nations creates a partition plan, which would create, out of the former British colony, the Mandate of Palestine.
01:24:19.000It would create a Jewish state known as Israel and an Arab state known as Palestine.
01:24:24.00048, Israel declares its independence, and Israel seizes a lot of territory that should have gone to the Muslims, and they start massacring them.
01:24:34.000They go into their homes, they go into their neighborhoods.
01:24:37.000And they just start killing everybody there and expelling them from their land.
01:24:53.000They flee in every direction in response to, In response to Israel's massacres and the expulsion of Palestinians, the powerful Arab countries at that time declare war on Israel.
01:26:23.000Contrary to the Israeli and Zionist propaganda, it's not for no reason that all these countries hate Israel.
01:26:31.000They're at war with Israel because Israel massacred the Arab Muslims because Israel slaughtered and massacred and expelled the Arab Muslims from Israel.
01:26:42.000That is at the center of the regional conflict.
01:26:56.000It's that original conflict, which is that there was supposed to be an Arab Muslim Palestinian state, but they were deprived of it because Israel seized their land.
01:27:08.000Killed them, expelled them, and that had destabilizing effects because the Palestinians were pushed into the Sinai, into Jordan, into Lebanon, Syria, and they did destabilize these surrounding countries.
01:27:21.000This is why there was original coalition war by the Arab countries against Israel.
01:27:27.000And from 1948 until, let's say, 1967, Israel was in a very precarious situation.
01:27:37.000After Israel emerges in 1948, the United States and Europe have a balanced foreign policy towards Israel.
01:27:45.000It might be hard to believe, but in the Truman administration, in the Eisenhower administration, and in the Kennedy administration, from 1948 until 1963, the United States and Western Europe had a balanced position, meaning that they were trying to placate both Israel and the Arabs.
01:28:06.000A perfect example of this was the Suez Crisis in 1956.
01:28:11.000After the original war in 1948 is resolved, there is still this permanent state of hostilities.
01:28:18.000Even though the fighting stops, the major fighting stops, Israel is still technically in a state of war with Egypt, Syria, all its neighbors.
01:28:28.000There's cross-border raids and fighting.
01:28:46.000All the trade from the Mediterranean through the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean flows through the Suez Canal, which Nasser takes over from the British.
01:28:57.000The British, the French, and the Israelis conspire to invade Egypt, and the pretext is that Egypt and Israel are going to war over a number of precipitating factors.
01:29:11.000But the goal, the reason they're collaborating is so that Israel will invade Egypt and give the Suez back to the British so that Europe can continue to control that waterway.
01:29:42.000At that time, the United States and Western Europe were not supplying Israel with tons of advanced weaponry.
01:29:48.000Israel was still getting it through smugglers and through the black market.
01:29:52.000But officially, they were not getting weapons from the United States.
01:29:56.000And the reason is because the United States didn't want to start an arms race.
01:30:01.000That's another key to this conversation.
01:30:04.000The United States knew that if we were pouring all this weaponry into Israel, that the Soviet Union might supply Egypt and Syria and other countries with their conventional weaponry.
01:30:17.000And obviously this sort of prefigures the nuclear arms race that happens a little bit later.
01:30:23.000But that was the policy from 48 until Kennedy is assassinated in 63. After Kennedy is assassinated in 1963, the United States goes all in on the side of Israel.
01:30:39.000The United States triples and quadruples the foreign military assistance to Israel, and most of it becomes weapons.
01:30:48.000Whereas from 48 to 63, we were giving Israel virtually no weapons.
01:30:53.000Under the Lyndon Johnson administration, suddenly we're giving them almost all weapons.
01:30:57.000The amount of military aid goes up by many multiples, and whereas previously it was economic and humanitarian aid, then it becomes military aid.
01:31:06.000In addition, Israel develops a nuclear arsenal, which they test around 1964, maybe 1966 at the latest.
01:31:18.000And Israel decides to go on the offensive.
01:31:21.000Now that the United States has intervened on the side of Israel, now that the United States is sending weapons, now that Israel has a nuclear bomb, now that Israel's gotten its bearings, now it goes on the offensive against its neighbors.
01:31:35.000And in 1967, Israel launches a surprise attack against Egypt and Syria.
01:31:41.000Basically destroys their entire air force.
01:31:44.000And it's a massive victory and a huge humiliation for Egypt and Syria because they were totally caught off guard.
01:31:52.000Their air force was defenseless and it was taken out in six days.
01:31:58.000And with total air superiority, Israel invades the Sinai Peninsula.
01:32:02.000They take over all this land in Egypt and they invade the Golan Heights, which they occupy to the present day.
01:32:10.000They take over Gaza and the West Bank, and Israel's at its biggest territorial point in 67. They have all this, the Sinai, Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan.
01:32:22.000Six years later, in 1973, in order to avenge the humiliation from the 67 war, the Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, collaborates with Syria to launch a surprise attack on Israel to take back the territory they lost.
01:32:38.000So in 73, on Yom Kippur, Egypt and Syria launch a two-sided attack.
01:32:44.000Egypt goes on the west bank, or pardon me, on the east bank of the Sinai.
01:32:50.000They take over and they invade the Sinai Peninsula.
01:32:53.000Syria invades the Golan Heights from the north.
01:34:29.000In 1979, Israel signs an agreement with Egypt, a peace agreement.
01:34:34.000Egypt gets the Sinai Peninsula back, and Egypt recognizes Israel's sovereignty.
01:34:41.000But in 78, and then later in the 1980s, Israel invades Lebanon.
01:34:45.000They try to foment a civil war, and they try to split apart the Lebanese state into four or five different smaller states along ethnic lines.
01:34:54.000In 1981, Iraq tries to develop a nuclear bomb.
01:34:58.000Israel bombs the nuclear reactor at Osirik.
01:35:02.000In 1994, Israel signs a peace treaty with Jordan.
01:35:07.000Jordan recognizes the state of Israel, and they start receiving a ton of U.S. military aid.
01:35:13.000The situation in 1994 is that Egypt and Jordan have been pacified.
01:36:22.000Now earlier, maybe this is tedious and cumbersome and a little bit rambly, but to return to the original, when I said here's the key to all of this.
01:36:33.000This is not about nuclear weapons at all.
01:36:37.000This is not about whether Iran has a nuclear bomb or a nuclear program.
01:36:43.000Libya did not have a nuclear weapon and was not pursuing one, yet they were destroyed.
01:37:33.000All these countries that have been visited by death and destruction.
01:37:37.000Nuclear weapons are not the common denominator.
01:37:40.000The common denominator is that in 48, 56, 67, 73, and in the various Israel-Palestine conflicts, they supported Israel's enemies or were Israel's enemies.
01:38:02.000They did not recognize Israel, they supported the Palestinian insurgency, or they went to war with Israel.
01:38:09.000And systematically, each of those countries has been destroyed, overthrown, pacified, and bribed with foreign aid by the United States, or has been destabilized with civil wars and special operations and regime change.
01:38:27.000The question is, how does Israel get along in the Middle East?
01:38:32.000The answer is they have to destroy every country that opposes them.
01:38:38.000Now, nuclear weapons are deeply related to that question because if these various countries recognize that Israel and the United States is going door to door and destroying every one of them, how do they defend themselves?
01:38:55.000How do they prevent themselves from meeting the same fate as Egypt and Syria?
01:39:02.000As Libya and Algeria, as Sudan and Somalia, they have to get a nuclear bomb.
01:39:11.000How do they protect themselves from the United States and Israel, who are going door to door, starting in 1967, really?
01:39:27.000Iran, in the 1990s, is exploring a nuclear weapon.
01:39:31.000By 2003, they abandoned a nuclear weapons program, but they maintained a civilian nuclear program which has the capability of producing material that might be used in a nuclear bomb.
01:39:43.000They're on the precipice of a nuclear bomb as a warning.
01:39:48.000If they get one, the United States will go to war with them.
01:39:52.000If they don't have anything, the United States and Israel will destroy them.
01:39:56.000So they're hanging out and straddling the middle.
01:40:00.000So that if they get attacked, they could develop one to defend themselves.
01:40:05.000And having that capability might deter intervention from the United States or Israel.
01:40:12.000Now, it's key to understand this, to understand the distinction between Israel and the United States foreign policy.
01:40:18.000What Israel desires, therefore, fundamentally, is regime change.
01:40:57.000The nuclear weapons program prevents Israel from installing a new government.
01:41:05.000On the other hand, the United States does not necessarily want regime change in Iran.
01:41:12.000The United States wants Iran not to have a nuclear bomb.
01:41:16.000Because we, as the guarantors of the world order, we, as the world hegemon, It is our military doctrine to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons for all countries.
01:44:04.000They have immense influence in Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar.
01:44:09.000They control Syria and Jordan by proxy, effectively, and Iraq.
01:44:13.000With Iran out of the picture, they not only control the Middle East, they control the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, but also the Persian Gulf.
01:44:22.000All the oil, all the natural gas, all the commerce, all the shipping that goes through the Red Sea, all the shipping and oil that comes from the Persian Gulf.
01:44:35.000All of the overland trade routes, the rail, the highways, communications infrastructure, the ports situated in this area that go from Asia to Europe, from Africa into Europe and Asia, it's all going to go through a region dominated by Israel.
01:45:48.000It was all written in Oded Yanan's plan for the 1980s.
01:45:55.000They wrote, and it is their plan, to create a mosaic of statelets.
01:46:01.000They wanted to disintegrate all of the big Muslim countries, all of the big Arab countries, all the Middle Eastern countries.
01:46:09.000A big country, and let's just think simply in terms of geoeconomics, a big country with a big population and a big territory can command a lot of resources.
01:47:02.000And that's effectively what they've done.
01:47:04.000Iraq is being cut up, as we speak, into northern Iraqi Kurdistan, a Shiite area which is sort of controlled by Iran.
01:47:12.000Syria is being split up into the Alawites on the west coast, the Sunnis in the rest of the country, the Druze in the south, which is being occupied by Israel.
01:47:20.000In Lebanon, they're trying to divide up the Shiites from the Christians, from the other groups that reside there.
01:47:28.000The name of the game is destabilization, dismemberment, sectarianism, division to make the region easily dominated by Israel.
01:48:12.000Israeli officials tell Fox News, we're just getting started.
01:48:16.000Iranian state media reports that most of their nuclear sites are safe.
01:48:22.000Iran will respond decisively, says Iranian media.
01:48:27.000An official IDF outlet, Israeli Defense Force outlet, says if this opening strike succeeded, then the decapitation strike we carried out against Hezbollah in 10 days, we executed in Iran in 10 minutes.
01:48:40.000Explosions at the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility.
01:48:47.000Iranian jets remain airborne over Tehran to avoid being struck.
01:48:51.000Wall Street Journal reports that on Monday, the US president told Israel not to carry out strikes against Iran.
01:49:13.000D.C. police erecting barricades to the entrance of the Israeli embassy in D.C. Iranian armed forces, Israel's attacks were aided by the United States.
01:49:24.000They will pay a heavy price and should expect a severe response from Iran.
01:49:32.000Their chief of staff is alive and well.
01:51:36.000This was the first target of the first wave of strikes this evening.
01:51:40.000And allegedly, those first strikes were carried out not by Israeli jets, but by maybe Israeli special forces inside of Iran or inside of Iraq, which would be over here.
01:51:54.000So the initial strikes came from inside Iran, actually, or along the western border with Iraq, which would make sense if it came from Iraqi Kurdistan.
01:52:05.000The Kurds are allies of Israel, and the Kurds are a cross-border ethnic group.
01:52:13.000They're in northeastern Syria, northeast of this river here, of the Euphrates, and they're in northern Iraq.
01:52:20.000The Kurds are close allies of the Israelis, so it might make sense that the Israelis penetrated Iran in the west from Iraqi Kurdistan, might be my guess.
01:52:31.000And then, once they had carried out strikes on Iran's airports and air bases and their command and control, then Israel sent their jets through Syria, through northern Syria and Iraq into Iran.
01:52:52.000So the initial strike, which cleared the way for all of this, probably they had their guys in Iraqi Kurdistan in the north.
01:53:01.000Maybe they penetrated Iran's border in the west.
01:53:04.000And the initial, maybe it was drones, missiles, maybe it was planes.
01:53:09.000They launched attacks on Tehran, took out their air bases so that their air force was scattered, took out their command and control.
01:53:15.000And then the Israeli fighter, And the reason I'm showing you the map is to give you an idea of how all of this became possible.
01:53:35.000The reason why the fall of Bashar al-Assad was so important, of course, is because, one, The way that Iran supplied Hezbollah in Lebanon was through Syria.
01:53:51.000Assad had control over Syria, and Syria was an ally of Iran.
01:53:56.000So Iran would fly weapons and other equipment, personnel, officers into Syria, and then they would go into southern Lebanon and they would attack Israel.
01:54:09.000The Iranian Revolutionary Guard had bases and outposts inside of Syria, and they would use those outposts to traffic weapons training personnel to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
01:54:20.000And then from southern Lebanon, that was a platform for Hezbollah to attack Israel, to bomb Israel from the north.
01:54:28.000So when Bashar al-Assad fell in December, it severed that pipeline because the first thing that Assad did was expel the IRGC from Syria.
01:54:39.000When Assad took over, or I'm sorry, when, what's the guy's new name, Jolani?
01:54:47.000When Hayat Tahrir al-Sham took over and they removed Assad, they kicked out the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and that cut off Hezbollah from Iran.
01:54:55.000That means that Hezbollah cannot deliver a second strike.
01:54:59.000Because what would have happened, let's say that Israel carried out the strike against Iran two years ago.
01:55:06.000What would have happened is that Iran would be shipping tons of supplies to Syria to give to Hezbollah, and Hezbollah would be raining missiles on Israel.
01:55:30.000They overthrew Assad, they kicked the IRGC out, they severed the pipeline, but two, Once Assad was ousted and the country was disorganized, Israel took the opportunity to level Syria.
01:55:43.000They destroyed Syria's naval forces at TARDIS on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
01:55:49.000They destroyed Syria's air bases in Homs.
01:55:53.000They destroyed all of their air defenses.
01:56:00.000Because the other thing that would have happened if Israel attacked Iran two years ago is that Israeli fighter jets would have to fly over Syria and they would be vulnerable to Syrian air defenses.
01:56:27.000Kick out the IRGC so that Hezbollah could not replenish.
01:56:31.000They had to destroy Syria's radar and air defenses.
01:56:35.000And what this did was clear a pathway so that Israel could fly its jets from here over Damascus into Syrian Kurdistan, which is friendly, into Iraqi Kurdistan, which is friendly, into Iran.
01:58:07.000Now what's funny, what's not funny, but what is maybe apropos, is that in 1996, Israel drafted a memo, it was called the Clean Break Report.
01:58:19.000And it was drafted in concert with American military planners that worked in the George W. Bush administration a few years later.
01:58:27.000And the Clean Break report had an entire section about securing the northern border of Israel.
01:58:34.000Now, why were they talking about securing the northern border?
01:58:38.000Because every other border was secure.
01:58:41.000Egypt made a peace treaty with Israel.
01:58:44.000In 78 and 79, Jordan made a treaty with Israel in 94. The only part of their border that was unsecure was their northern border.
01:58:55.000In 96, a couple of years after they made peace with Jordan, they promulgate this report.
01:59:01.000It says, how are we going to secure our northern border?
01:59:04.000It's called the Clean Break Report, authored by Richard Pearl, Douglas Faith, David Wormser.
01:59:11.000They all went on to work in the George W. Bush administration.
02:01:56.000Five is the lowest, so that means we're closer to nuclear war.
02:02:02.000Violent explosions in Tehran, commercial flights avoiding.
02:02:06.000Israel notified the United States prior to carrying out its airstrikes.
02:02:11.000And again, Iran holds us accountable anyway.
02:02:19.000Rafael Grossi, the director of the IAEA, confirms the Natanz enrichment facility was hit.
02:02:24.000And the agency is monitoring the situation.
02:02:27.000Of course the danger is if you hit a nuclear facility, it's going to scatter nuclear particles and give everybody cancer and kill everybody.
02:05:18.000And there's this perception that the Iron Dome is this impenetrable missile defense shield over Israel.
02:05:24.000The Iron Dome is built for short-range projectiles that go up and over.
02:05:32.000It's meant for these small, slow rockets that are launched from Gaza, that are launched from southern Lebanon, that are launched really on the border with Israel, and they shoot them down.
02:05:43.000The Iron Dome is not built for ballistic and cruise missiles from Iran, which are extremely fast and are more difficult to detect.
02:05:52.000For those, Israel has the David sling, which is meant for longer-range missiles.
02:05:58.000But the faster and the longer-range the missiles are, the more difficult they are to intercept and detect at a 100% rate.
02:06:05.000That's why when Iran struck Israel in October, many of the missiles hit.
02:06:11.000Anywhere from 5% to 15% of all the missiles actually hit Israel.
02:06:19.000And this was even with a coordinated air defense by Israel, Jordan, the United States, and I believe Egypt was involved as well.
02:06:29.000Prior to that, when Iran retaliated against Israel in April of last year, it was the United Kingdom, it was European countries as well.
02:06:37.000The point is, Israel cannot shoot down 100% of the projectiles launched at it.
02:06:58.000Hundreds of them on their way to Israel all at the same time.
02:07:01.000Israel's not going to be able to shoot down 100% of them.
02:07:04.000So the United States is going to have to shoot down some of the missiles.
02:07:07.000That's how Israel gets us into the fight.
02:07:10.000Israel may have launched a unilateral strike.
02:07:13.000It doesn't matter because Iran will certainly counterattack, and when they do, we will have to defend Israel because they can't defend themselves.
02:08:36.000Whether we participate or not, whether we wanted diplomacy or not, whether we warned Israel or not, like I said, this is why it's so important to understand all of the facts, everything that's happening.
02:08:47.000You know, Marco Rubio can go on and make a press release and say, well, they did it by themselves.
02:15:49.000Israel conducts hundreds of airstrikes on Iran all across the country, assassinations on their energy, their oil, their nuclear, their radar, their air bases, military bases.
02:16:34.000I think Germany has 80 million people.
02:16:40.000This is a country with the population the size of Germany that we're now going to topple their government.
02:16:46.000We are now going to be in the business of destroying their entire navy, destroying all their missile silos, destroying all their nuclear facilities with bunker-busting bombs.
02:18:28.000After Israel has blown up their entire military command and control where they live, bound their nuclear facilities, releasing radioactive material into the air, crippling their economy and destroying their oil, they're going to let it go?
02:22:11.000They didn't even want a nuclear weapon.
02:22:13.000Israel wanted the war, and here we are.
02:22:15.000So whatever the outcome is, whether it's a nuclear strike, whether it's a ground invasion, however calamitous this turns out to be, destabilizing, catastrophic, this It's at the feet of Israel and the Jews.
02:22:29.000And I say the Jews because it is left-wing, right-wing Jews in the United States that supported Trump because they knew that he would allow something like this to happen.
02:22:41.000They knew he would support something like this.
02:26:30.000Feedback at all or any of your sources that have said that President Trump has has eased up on no military strike in Iran as he tries to negotiate this.
02:27:05.000There had been some talks at the Yemen strikes that themselves were controversial and got Waltz in trouble with Signal Gate or a compromise.
02:28:41.000in the minimal, in the micro, they haven't been going well the last week or so.
02:28:49.000Then suddenly today, Then, seemingly as a duex machina, there has been a massive evacuation of the Iraqi U.S. embassy, the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, among other potential U.S. facilities in the region, and there's a lack of clarity on what could be happening.
02:29:15.000This is notably the same sort of time of night in the Middle East that the strike on Qasem Soleimani occurred in January 2020.
02:29:24.000And so there is considerable disquiet in Europe, in the Middle East, in the U.S., of what could happen next.
02:29:31.000And then finally, I would flag that there had been considerable anxiety about the chairman of the...
02:30:53.000The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei says, At dawn today, the Zionist regime committed a heinous crime on our soil, exposing its wicked nature by striking residential areas.
02:31:04.000It must now await a severe punishment by God's will.
02:31:08.000The powerful hand of Iran's forces will not let this go unanswered.
02:31:11.000A number of our commanders and scientists were martyred in the attack.
02:31:15.000Their successors will continue their mission immediately.
02:31:18.000With this crime, the Zionist regime has sealed a bitter and painful fate for itself.
02:34:35.000Yet another major war in the Middle East where America sends another generation of its sons and daughters to die in support of objectives that are not tied to our safety or prosperity is the last thing we...
02:36:09.000Maybe if we get a cool leather jacket, unbutton more buttons, and we say negotiations and radar, you know, maybe then Trump will be awesome.
02:39:02.000The last time this plane lifted off in this manner was October 1st, minutes before Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles against Israel.
02:39:13.000Okay, so it looks like maybe an Iranian ballistic missile attack is imminent.
02:39:45.000We'll pick up where we left off, where we were moments ago.
02:39:50.000So once again, the way that this played out this week, I guess that's the part I haven't covered just yet.
02:39:55.000Maybe we can pick up on kind of where we were last night.
02:40:00.000We can talk about maybe the broader state of the conflict.
02:40:03.000So, you know, once again, I've been predicting this for a very long time.
02:40:07.000We've been looking at the map all night, and the map is really predictive.
02:40:10.000The map and the history are the roadmap for where all this is going.
02:40:14.000If you understand where Israel has been and you understand what they've been saying— I mean, we're talking decades ago, where all of this was ultimately headed as evidenced by, like I said, the map that we just showed, some of the documents I explained, the Clean Break Report, the memo from the 1980s, Grand Strategy for Israel in the 1980s.
02:40:37.000I may read some of those on the stream if we have time a little bit later.
02:40:42.000But I want to talk a little bit about the past couple of years in particular, the situation with Iran.
02:40:49.000I started to realize this was an inevitability right around last year.
02:40:55.000This isn't the first time that Israel provoked Iran.
02:41:00.000There were two major instances where Israel provoked Iran last year.
02:41:04.000Last year in April of 2024, Israel blew up an Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria.
02:41:35.000And they attacked a diplomatic building because they knew that that would provoke Iran into a response.
02:41:42.000And what Iran did, about two weeks later, In the middle of April, as they launched dozens of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at Israel.
02:43:21.000Ibrahim Raisi was their former president.
02:43:24.000He died in a helicopter crash, mysterious accident, a couple of months prior.
02:43:29.000They were inaugurating their new president, their current president, Pazeshkian.
02:43:33.000And on inauguration day, in the capital of their new president, Israel snuck in with special ops and they blew up the building that the leader of Hamas was staying at.
02:43:43.000They killed a foreign dignitary in Iran's capital, on their soil, on their inauguration day.
02:43:51.000Doesn't get more provocative than that.
02:43:55.000And once again, the Biden administration moved in with carrier strike groups, moved in with fighter jet squadrons, deployed, And it seemed to have worked because it took two full months for Iran to retaliate.
02:44:16.000And it was another missile attack, this time bigger and with less warning.
02:46:05.000Mike Waltz was a representative from Florida.
02:46:08.000They were brought into the White House by Susie Wiles because Susie Wiles is from Florida.
02:46:15.000Susie Wiles became the chief of staff.
02:46:18.000She brought in her friends from Florida, Rubio and Waltz.
02:46:21.000Waltz took up the post at the National Security Council.
02:46:24.000Marco Rubio took up the post at the State Department.
02:46:27.000And there were reports that as early as February and March of this year, Waltz and Rubio and others like John Ratcliffe at the CIA and Carilla at CENTCOM, they were pushing Trump to go to war.
02:46:53.000But understand, this was part of Israel's ongoing campaign.
02:46:57.000There were other events as well that were more subtle.
02:47:00.000There was a major terrorist attack in January of last year on the anniversary of Qasem Soleimani's death, probably an attack by Israel.
02:47:11.000There were a number of industrial acts of sabotage this year.
02:47:14.000Major fires breaking out at Bandar Abbas, breaking out at a drone facility, at some other military-related facilities.
02:47:22.000This has been an ongoing protracted campaign over a year and a half to provoke Iran, to antagonize Iran, planting pro-Israel people inside the Trump government to push him to greenlight an attack on Iran, supplying and furnishing Israel with weapons to defend themselves.
02:47:49.000And then in March and April of this year, there's this intense competition among personnel inside the Trump administration between the hawks and the restrainers.
02:48:02.000You might remember Signal Gate when allegedly...
02:48:18.000But then there was another signal gate.
02:48:20.000There was a signal gate that Pete Hegseth had his own signal group chat with other people discussing the strikes in Yemen, with his brother-in-law, with his wife, with his lawyer.
02:48:49.000And that was after a number of personnel close to Pete Hegseth, that guy Caldwell included, were fired from the Defense Department.
02:48:57.000And so in March, April and May, there was a huge...
02:49:07.000And it got nasty, and it was between the personnel and the DOD and the National Security Council, the Pentagon, to some extent the Directorate of National Intelligence, and they were each debating and trying to persuade Trump whether to go or not to go to war with Iran.
02:49:28.000And it all coalesced around the strikes in Yemen.
02:49:30.000Around March, Trump restarted the war in Yemen.
02:49:33.000That's what the signal gate was about.
02:49:35.000And that was supposed to be the on-ramp to attack Iran.
02:49:38.000There were all sorts of statements going out saying that if we can't defeat the Houthis, we'll hold Iran accountable.
02:49:43.000We'll blow up Iran's assets in Yemen or maybe in the Persian Gulf.
02:50:00.000Mike Waltz was effectively fired because he was working with Netanyahu to push Trump on a war with Iran.
02:50:06.000And as the National Security Advisor, he's the liaison between the White House and the DOD, between the military and the White House, between the military and Trump.
02:50:20.000We thought, some people thought we were in the clear.
02:50:23.000Then the president ended the war in Yemen.
02:50:25.000He said that after 30 days it hadn't yielded results.
02:50:28.000He unilaterally ended our offensive in Yemen without even telling Israel.
02:50:33.000He opened up negotiations with Hamas, unilateral negotiations, which had been going on since February, and brokered the release of one hostage from Hamas, an American hostage.
02:50:47.000And then the big step, which Kurt Mills talked about, and he was very optimistic about this, the big step is that in early April, Trump had Netanyahu at the White House, ostensibly to talk about the recently implemented tariffs, but in reality they were talking about Iran and Yemen.
02:51:04.000In that meeting, Trump announced he was initiating talks with Iran.
02:51:09.000And the negotiations went on for 60 days.
02:53:41.000Under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, they claim the right, as all nations do, to enrich uranium for peaceful civilian purposes.
02:53:50.000The United States says, if you have centrifuges, if you enrich uranium, you have the capability to make a bomb.
02:53:57.000We, and by we, we mean Israel and the Senate, which is controlled by Israel, cannot allow that.
02:54:03.000And in the third, fourth, and fifth round, which took place in the third, fifth, and I think the seventh week of negotiations, they just kept running into this stumbling block.
02:54:13.000And over the course of those weeks, there were different concessions floated like that.
02:54:19.000Iran would have access to an enrichment facility in another country, that they might temporarily be able to enrich at 3.7% in their own country for a short time, symbolically, that they might keep the infrastructure but give up the enrichment activity and get rid of their stockpile, have to import enrichment or enrich material and dilute their existing stockpile.
02:54:41.000There were all sorts of ideas, all sorts of compromises, concessions, new ideas.
02:54:48.000In the end, Trump made a proposal last week.
02:54:52.000We talked about the contours of the deal, the structure of it.
02:54:56.000At the end of the day, it was basically a watered-down version of Obama's deal.
02:55:06.000Barack Obama and John Kerry were pursuing diplomacy with Iran 10 years ago, and even longer than 10 years ago, without telling the Israelis.
02:55:15.000And what you must understand about the original Iranian nuclear deal in 2015, Obama's deal, is that it was extremely technical.
02:55:25.000It took years to negotiate, years and many sessions that involved many countries.
02:55:33.000This is when Russia was not really yet a great power, before China had built up its navy and achieved parity with the United States, or something close to that.
02:55:43.000China, Russia, the E3 countries, the United States, we were all on board with this very technical, very comprehensive, very complex deal that took years to negotiate.
02:57:40.000In the background of the deadline was the IAEA governor's board meeting, where the signatories that are supposed to enforce the JCPOA, the Iran deal, were supposed to meet.
02:57:52.000And so you had all these different things working together.
02:57:55.000On Monday, Trump publicized that he had a call with Netanyahu, and Netanyahu's ready to strike Iran.
02:58:02.000On Tuesday, there's a rumor that the IAEA is going to push a resolution saying that Iran is in noncompliance with the original deal and the European countries would put sanctions on Iran, which Iran does not like.
02:58:16.000And that resolution was published this morning.
02:58:20.000On Wednesday, yesterday, Now, we thought that was brinksmanship.
02:58:28.000We thought that he was trying to scare Iran.
02:58:33.000This morning, those E3 countries, the three European countries, Germany, France, and the UK, that are on the Iran deal, met at the IAEA governor's board meeting, and they declared Iran in noncompliance, which means that it's going to go to the Security Council.
02:58:51.000And Iran said this morning, Iran said that they're going to begin implementing their sixth generation centrifuges, which will allow them to enrich uranium far faster than they've been able to do so far.
02:59:07.000Trump came out with a tweet this afternoon and said, whoa, whoa, whoa, we still want a deal.
02:59:11.000We want to meet tomorrow, maybe Sunday.
02:59:17.000It was after this that Israel carries out the strike on the 60th day.
02:59:23.000And the reason that Israel waits 60 days for this to happen is because they wanted the plausible deniability to say that they gave diplomacy a chance.
03:00:37.000Everybody voted for Trump, some of them knowing the risks here, but they thought they would apply pressure to Trump.
03:00:45.000They thought that they, the influencers on Twitter who get paid by Trump, would exert more influence over Trump than the donors that pay him.
03:00:56.000Random blue check marks with laser eye profile pictures thought that they would persuade the President of the United States not to go to war with Iran, and they would have more pull over Miriam Adelson, who gave him $100 million.
03:01:12.000Over the various other Zionist Jews that supported his re-election campaign.
03:01:19.000And, you know, this was kind of the deal.
03:01:39.000I remember, I met with people that were involved with his PAC, I met with people that were involved with his team, and they all said the same thing.
03:02:47.000It turned out that even with all the money from Ken Griffin and Elon Musk and Miriam Adelson and all the other donors, DeSantis never caught on.
03:02:57.000Nikki Haley, the It was never going to happen.
03:03:01.000And by early 2024, it was clear that Trump was going to win the Republican primary.
03:03:07.000That is when from March until June, all the donors started coming around.
03:03:12.000Elon, Jacob Helberg, Ken Griffin, Miriam Adelson.
03:03:17.000All the donors eventually knelt to Trump from March until July of 2024.
03:03:25.000When it became clear that not only would he be the nominee, but also after the June debate with Joe Biden that he would become the president.
03:03:50.000And the deal went something like this.
03:03:54.000If you go into the presidency and do our bidding, if you give Israel the West Bank and Gaza, if you let them go after Iran, if you do what they say, they get the National Security Council, they get the DOD, they get the State Department.
03:04:18.000Ever since October 7th, that was the deal.
03:04:22.000After October 7th, the Zionists said, we need a Republican in charge.
03:04:27.000After Trump became the nominee, they said, Trump's got to be our guy.
03:04:31.000And the way that we'll get him is with blackmail, maybe with Epstein, maybe with the charges against him, but that is how we're going to exert control over this guy.
03:04:41.000That's why Ben Shapiro was so excited that he won.
03:04:45.000And this is why now, six months into the Trump administration, who are the winners?
03:04:51.000Who are the winners and losers of the golden age?
03:06:09.000Anybody that wanted peace in the Middle East.
03:06:11.000All the Arabs and Muslims that voted for Trump in Michigan.
03:06:16.000Losers, the budget hawks that wanted Doge to go in and cut the deficit $2 trillion.
03:06:23.000When all is said and done, the big winners are the neocons, Palantir, which is a defense contractor in bed with Israel, Israel and the Jewish donors, and the corporations that are going to get a big corporate tax cut.
03:06:38.000And the losers are the voters, the base.
03:06:40.000The losers are the base that said mass deportations now.
03:06:44.000The losers are the base that said you're going in a crystal, you have 100 days.
03:06:49.000The losers are the people that said no new wars, no tax on tips.
03:06:55.000The losers are the ones that thought that he would magically get interest rates to come down and the economy to grow out of a deficit.
03:07:35.000We're not saying that in an ignorant way.
03:07:37.000We're not saying that in an overly simplistic way.
03:07:39.000We've laid it out in great detail tonight.
03:07:43.000And over the past few years, why powerful Jews with affinity for Israel and their own community over our country are exerting a negative influence on the United States.
03:07:57.000They're wielding their power and influence and their money, their resources in the elite sectors of society.
03:08:04.000To influence government and society in a way that benefits them and Israel at the expense of us.
03:08:20.000And if you know that, you could predict the outcome.
03:08:22.000You could see how this was coming a mile away.
03:08:27.000And you hear this rhetoric from people like Matt Walsh.
03:08:30.000They say, well, I don't care about all that stuff.
03:08:32.000Well, you need to care about that stuff.
03:08:33.000That's a line that someone gave you, and it's nonsense.
03:08:37.000America's the empire that runs the world, and what happens over there is our business because people are in our country making it our business.
03:13:03.000It's eight years in the making doing this show, 45 years in the making for them.
03:13:08.000And the name of the show, when I started this, when I broke with Ben Shapiro in the first place, when I was almost a writer at Daily Wire, when I broke with Cassie Dillon, when I dropped out of college and the college Republicans and they started canceling me, when Cabot Phillips, the fucking Nepo baby cocksucker, started writing hit pieces about me, it was because I said, America first, not Israel.
03:13:33.000I said, how is this consistent with Trump's vision of America first?
03:13:38.000That's the central problem all the way through.
03:13:43.000Echoing throughout history over the years, the better part of a decade on this show, it's America first.
03:13:49.000And there's only one group where this is a problem.
03:14:55.000And you cannot make it any more clear than you can tonight.
03:15:01.000And you know what's so funny about it all?
03:15:03.000A year ago, when Israel provoked Iran the first time in this episode, a year ago, last April 2024, when Israel blew up that Iranian embassy in Syria and Iran attacked Israel, the Republican-controlled House dropped their push for border security.
03:15:28.000So that they could rush military aid to Israel.
03:15:31.000So don't tell me I only care about America.
03:15:34.000Don't tell me I care about the border more.
03:15:37.000Because everything is connected to everything else.
03:15:40.000And it's a question of whether we have sovereignty or whether we don't.
03:15:44.000$12 billion to Israel alone this year.
03:15:48.000They're nickel and diming us on a border wall.
03:15:51.000After 10 million illegals came in in four years.
03:15:53.000You don't think those things are related?
03:15:56.000Trump asked for $17 billion in 2018 and couldn't get it, but he approved a $36 billion memorandum of understanding, which is about to expire in two years.
03:16:09.000And you don't think those are related?
03:16:12.000We can't get $2 billion to secure the border.
03:16:15.000We can't get $50 billion to deport these people that are invading and literally pillaging our country.
03:17:41.000In 2017, he's saying white nationalists are terrorists and they should be rounded up.
03:17:46.000They're complicit in mass shootings and so on.
03:17:49.000It's just so utterly conventional and cowardly.
03:17:53.000The difference between me and everybody else, and not to toot my own horn, the reason that I was right about this and everybody is wrong is because I'm actually a leader.
03:18:05.000Everybody else, and not everyone, I mean obviously there's other people that were with me too, but so many of these mainstream voices, they're just going along.
03:19:14.000We have to get smart and not constantly be tricked and falling for it all the time because someone who obviously doesn't have our best interests in mind, like Stephen Miller, some pompous Jew, says something about immigration.
03:19:35.000I mean, just take a look at his speech in high school.
03:19:37.000Another arrogant, pompous Jew who doesn't give a fuck about Americans, but he says something based about immigration, and you say, I like this guy?
03:19:47.000I mean, how many times are we going to fall for it?
03:21:13.000There are several people in leadership in Iran that will not be coming back.
03:21:18.000Now, the president, I know, has spoken to Prime Minister Netanyahu several times in recent days.
03:21:26.000As I mentioned before, the Trump administration reached out to a key Middle Eastern ally beforehand to acknowledge this strike was going to happen, but that the U.S. was not involved in the strike.
03:21:39.000But the goal is still to get Iran back.
03:21:42.000There was this building frustration about what Iran was doing at that negotiating table with Steve Witkoff, the Middle East envoy.
03:22:29.000In the president's sense and the people around him, that this changes the dynamic for Iran and that this does not launch into what will be a back and forth.
03:22:42.000But we just saw the post from the Supreme Leader saying that this is the beginning of a major, major retaliation and that Israel, in his words, has sealed its fate.
03:22:56.000U.S. officials are confirming To us that a number of top Iranian officials, leaders, are dead after these strikes.
03:23:05.000But as far as the full sense of what the targeting looked like, Natanz, the nuclear facility, was struck.
03:23:14.000But we don't believe it was by the biggest of the penetrating bombs.
03:23:19.000But we will have to see come first light.
03:23:22.000And the U.S. military, and we've been saying this, was not directly involved in these strikes.
03:23:28.000But there clearly was an advanced knowledge and communication and knowledge of what was happening, and now we'll see exactly what the retaliation looks like.
03:23:57.000Israel's channels report that Iran's retaliation will consist in a massive initial wave of ballistic missiles followed by additional missile attacks.
03:24:07.000Iranian oil company says that they did not damage Iran's oil refining and storage facilities.
03:24:15.000Nanyahu writes, there are no free wars.
03:24:17.000You may very well be required to stay in protected areas for an extended period of time, much longer than we've been accustomed to until now.
03:24:27.000U.S. still intends to meet with Iranian representatives on Sunday.
03:25:01.000Israel just bombed Iran 300 times and killed all their government, assassinated their military and scientific leadership, and attacked all their cities and their air bases and their nuclear facilities and their oil refineries and their capital and killed their people.
03:25:22.000And now the United States is going to pick up where they left off and make a deal?
03:25:47.000If Trump is pursuing diplomacy and Israel is dependent on our military and they did something so provocative, which draws us in without our approval, that's cause for a break.
03:28:36.000I was supposed to have an adventure, my book, in Jerusalem this Sunday night.
03:28:39.000I think, suffice to say, everything right now is certainly in flux right now.
03:28:44.000Well, speaking of your experiences a little bit earlier, I think that folks need to understand that the level of attack to which Israel has been subjected since October 7th, it is relentless and unceasing.
03:28:53.000I mean, the Houthis have been attacking nearly every day.
03:28:55.000And when I was in Israel just a few weeks ago, my family was woken up at 6.25 a.m. by what we called the Houthi alarm clock.
03:29:02.000Because the sirens went off in Jerusalem.
03:29:04.000And what that means is you got to take all your kids and you got to shove all your kids into a fairly small room and then essentially take these iron window shades and close them in case shrapnel were to hit the house.
03:29:16.000Now, given the fact that you're on the ground right now, what is the attitude of people there toward all of this?
03:29:21.000We just spoke with the former prime minister, Naftali Bennett, about what's going on.
03:29:25.000He says that this may be the one area of Israeli life where actually there is no argument, where there's pretty much unanimity.
03:31:21.000The Madison Center for Educational Affairs, nonprofit policy organization.
03:31:27.000That merged the Institute of Educational Affairs and the Madison Center.
03:31:34.000It was founded by William Simon and Irving Kristol.
03:31:41.000Among others, they supported Counterpoint Magazine by John Podhoretz and Todd Lindberg and the Princeton Torrey founded by Yoram Mazzoni in 1984.
03:31:50.000In 1987, Irving Kristol helped Peter Thiel fund the Stanford Review.
03:36:21.000Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard, which pushed the Iraq war.
03:36:25.000literally support from the, the standard promoted and, Why the fuck does it keep doing this?
03:36:31.000The Standard promoted and supported the invasion of Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein.
03:36:35.000In November 97, him and Robert Kagan wrote an editorial titled, Saddam Must Go.
03:36:40.000The first issue the magazine published after 9-11.
03:36:45.000They clarified what ought to be the country's war aims.
03:36:48.000The rhetoric was to link Saddam Hussein and bin Laden in virtually every paragraph to lay out a strategy to give priority over attacking Saddam as opposed to Al Qaeda.
03:38:30.000A next generation manifesto declaring that the fate of Western civilization depends on the security and thriving of the Jewish people in the Jewish state of Israel.
03:38:39.000That the Jewish people's right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland demands a realist foreign policy, strong U.S.-Israel relations, and a grand alliance of Jews who stand firm, and Christianity who recognize the centrality of Judaism to the West.
03:42:03.000And I think back in particular to this one trip that I took in 2016.
03:42:06.000So it was actually my final year of law school at the University of Chicago, and I was one of the student leaders in a law school delegation.
03:42:11.000And we met with this very far-left member of the Israeli Knesset, their legislature here.
03:42:18.000But the point is, it was 2016 in the context of that presidential election.
03:42:22.000I kid you not, this Knesset member was so far left then that his preferred presidential candidate of that cycle was Bernie Sanders himself.
03:42:30.000Having said that, and the reason I bring it up— Okay, who cares?
03:42:34.000All right, let's look at Rerum Novarum.
03:44:41.000I heard that Christine from Ohio will be at an event next Saturday, and I'm asking the O Groiper chat if they want to come.
03:44:44.000Well, if we do anything like that, I don't want to make it super public because I don't want to blow up her spot and, you know, get, you know, left-wing shitbags to come and fight everybody or whatever.
03:45:00.000406 national sent $100 Been watching since beginning of April Haven't missed a stream since I bought into the Trump hype Thought things would be different I feel like a loser faggot For joining the movement now When it's easy and cool too Instead of when it mattered I'm sorry Mr. Fuentes I should have supported Groep Yeah, you should have.
03:45:48.000Won't even fucking play Minecraft with me.
03:45:51.000So anyway, so a lot of people I knew gave me a lot.
03:45:54.000In addition to everyone in the whole universe, a lot of people that I knew gave me crap for not going with Trump, and now they're all wrong.
03:51:26.000But we'll get rid of, we can get 6 million out.
03:51:29.000I think there's a lot of people that would feel like that's a victory.
03:51:32.000Personally, I would like to, I don't think that there should be I do understand the argument, oh, they've been here for 20 years and they've set up a life and etc.
03:51:50.000And I do think that's a different context than people that have been here for 3, 4, 5 years.
03:51:58.000This is like the most boring show of all time.
04:04:41.000I promise Facts Facts You know, not for nothing, but it's like, I could always rest on my laurels and just kind of plateau.
04:04:56.000But like last year, even when I was mounting this huge comeback on Rumble and I was getting big numbers and doing well again, I still put all my chips on the table.
04:05:10.000I was three years of being censored, banned on everything.
04:05:14.000You know, really in the woods and finally came out on the other side of it and was on Rumble, on Twitter, doing well, doing collaborations.
04:05:26.000And it would have been so easy for me to just be like, yeah, whatever, I guess I like Trump.
04:05:32.000But I took this huge risk and put all the chips back in and said, nope, no, something's not right here.
04:05:57.000Anyway, so I'm so filled with piss and vinegar about the whole experience because it's like I feel like I've earned the benefit of the doubt.
04:06:04.000I was right about all this other stuff.
04:06:06.000These people that got red-pilled 13 minutes ago.
04:06:10.000You know, then they want to be skeptical about me on this.
04:06:14.000It's like, I feel like I've earned that, but okay, you'll learn the hard way.
04:12:24.000Also, I wanted to say Spick because you say towel head all the time and I am not offended but you were offended by the word Spick Thank you for the big super chat.
04:12:33.000Yeah, because Mexicans are actually great people, whereas towelheads are just like, I don't know, trying to sell me fucking gold coins or something.
04:12:41.000Because Mexicans are actually good people, okay?
04:12:46.000You can't call me a wetback or a spic, okay?
04:12:49.000Mexicans are good, hardworking, Catholic people.
04:12:52.000Towelheads are like trying to sell you shit at the pyramids and got their feet out all the time, praying everywhere, blasting their music, blasting their call to prayer.
04:13:27.000Hey, Nick, thank you for your analysis of the history of MENA post-48.
04:13:30.000I don't know a single American commentator who would actually explain the PPL like Nasser and things like the Suez War on where we are now.
04:13:34.000People would be wise to study the history of our involvement in MENA and how Israel has destroyed our foreign polling.
04:14:14.000Why don't we try working hard and getting smart and grinding instead of I'm not going to knock you for praying, but it's like, get your money up, player.
04:19:11.000Not only is his birthday on the same day as the USS Liberty attack, but in the 2009 music video for Stronger, there's a scene where he's escaping from a hospital, being hunted down by soldiers wearing the Star of David on their helmets and armbands.
04:20:41.000No, I don't have anything to do with AF post at all.
04:20:44.000some other guy I had a crazy dream about you last night I was in an evil lair with Peter Thiel and Alex Karp Alex was worried about the far right and before Peter Ren's accounts you busted through the door with a lightsaber and we all started fighting and they tried to shoot half.
04:26:58.000Sorry if this is obvious, but if Iran knows the US wants to avoid war Why wouldn't they focus their entire attack on Israel to give America plausible deniability to avoid joining the offensive?
04:30:55.000Fighter jets, British fighter jets moving to intercept the missiles, Americans from Qatar, the British from Cyprus, Israeli fighter jets from Israel.
04:32:26.000That's always been an open-ended question to me if Russia and China get involved.
04:32:30.000I mean, they have a strategic partnership with Iran, but I know that Russia does not want to antagonize Israel because Russia and Israel are allies.
04:35:34.000This war will shove Israel in the faces of everyone who was indifferent to Gaza because it didn't fully involve the U.S. The war will be terrible, but things are reaching a boiling point where normies will be forced to pick a side in the JQ cannot be ignored.
04:37:41.000I mean, it's like all true and everything, but that's one of those like, that's like one of those books you get at Barnes& Noble that's for 100 IQ normie types, you know what I mean?
04:37:55.000That's like one of those books that's like, I don't know.
04:38:01.000It's just not, you know, that book washes away all those.
04:38:06.000It's like, yeah, it's kind of just like history 101.
04:38:08.000Did you know the Catholic Church invented the university?
04:38:22.000I knew Israel was going to attack soon since I listened to your show religiously.
04:38:25.000Tried to take out life savings to bet against the stock market tomorrow on leverage, but I got a hold placed on my account and it cucked me out almost a mill.
04:38:29.000I am literally suicidal right now, frown.
04:42:55.000Yeah, when I was in high school, there was this kid that shit in someone's backpack and got, like, suspended, and everyone was talking about it in school.
04:49:08.000I'd be like those giants in Game of Thrones.
04:49:11.000You know, but I'm a little guy, so I got to stand next to the big...
04:49:18.000All your tall friends want to fight everybody, and you're like, let's calm down, because if we get in a fight, I'm gonna get hit in the face first.
04:51:27.000That's what you're referring to, that Israel doesn't know – a country doesn't know on the receiving end whether there's a nuclear warhead inside.
04:52:14.000Iran's air defenses are destroyed, so Israel is just going to get to have at it.
04:52:18.000And as long as Israel can shoot down a lot of Iran's missiles and drones – They're just going to have free reign and just get to go in and in and many waves of airstrikes.
04:52:32.000So, until the United States gets involved.
04:52:35.000And I think that maybe the approach would be, maybe Iran tries to get the United States to pressure Israel to stop.
04:52:41.000I don't even know if they think that's possible.
04:56:08.000We'll see what Iran is up to because we have some major, major updates.
04:56:13.000So the last update we had, British, American, and Israeli jets are activating in Syrian and Jordanian airspace to shoot down Iranian drones.
04:56:23.000We'll get our map of the Middle East back up just so you can – Let's do this.
04:56:43.000So, they say that Israeli fighter jets from Israel, Jordanian fighter jets from Jordan, and American fighter jets from Qatar, where we have our largest air base in the Middle East.
