00:01:07.000They said trust no man, but I was like, if you believe your day was in a lot of time, I can't say trust, but I'm gonna say trust no hope, use a hundred percent.
00:05:06.000And people don't realize what they held.
00:05:11.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did, the things we fought for, and the boys that died for it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:25.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:31.000We haven't got the countries we had when I was great.
00:07:09.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:14.000We'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.
00:07:28.000People 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.
00:07:53.000And 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?
00:08:07.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:11.000It'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.
00:09:07.000Why are you called Bonnie Melton this morning?
00:09:10.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groiper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Shield Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and of course defending Nick Fuente 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.
00:10:09.000In 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.
00:10:24.000They don't understand the things I say on Twitter.

00:24:04.000I can't let my family call I go home just for
00:26:57.000Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:34:51.000I wish that you cocaine in my basement My entire narrative is not one of some sudden booming points of light came out of the blue.
00:35:00.000It 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.
00:35:15.000And then finally, a point of no return record.

00:35:55.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, we're all cut from the same cloth and that cloth is very, very large.
00:40:25.000They, they see America merely as a vessel.
00:40:28.000I mean, only, only a class of people so rootless in their disposition view America in such a way as merely a vessel for abstractions, right?
00:40:40.000so We're gonna smash your brain in with the Bible, idiot.
00:40:54.000And I'm addicted to the serotonin Russian.
00:42:02.000The classroom couldn't believe it either.
00:42:06.000but in the end he had logic on this side and at the end of the day No son that when you growing on the ice, what you think to me, the girl, she be growing on the ice.
00:42:30.000With the game, dirty game for the feel like the nerve from Casino.
00:42:55.000I feel like a nigga on Cacero We ain't got the sound of a port of Cacero I feel like a nigga on Cacero It's not, it's not a shill, shill, Israel.
00:45:40.000When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear and love of everything else.
00:45:50.000I'd like to propose a toast to our people.
00:45:55.000I'd like to propose a toast to the Roypers, to White Boy Summer, White Boy Century, to the reaction and the reclamation of the United States.
00:48:23.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:48:29.000One 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.
00:51:21.000You know, against all the hate, against all odds, against all the snipes and the jabs and the fads and the journalists and the doubters and the traitors and the deceivers.
00:55:46.000I want this on to a child that I have.
00:55:58.000My voice says nothing but sweet and fire.
00:56:04.000I stretch my hair, but my cup just goes up *music* *music* Lawrence, I dropped something really interesting.
00:56:35.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire Americans.
00:56:43.000But in June of 2024, during the all-in podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:56:58.000I cannot support this and I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:57:09.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:57:19.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:57:51.000And Americans need to get used to saying that.
00:57:53.000Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves, telling us it's good enough.
00:58:01.000We need to hear the words, immigration moratorium, no more immigrants, no more.
00:58:09.000Not since he announced his reelection campaign in November 2022 have I told anybody to vote for Trump.
00:58:17.000When pushed for details on the policy, clearly they are repeating the same script as every other Republican, and they show that they're really not serious about mass deportations.
00:58:28.000For that reason, I actually don't believe that illegal immigration will fall to historic lows.
00:58:37.000And this is your America first policy.
01:00:36.000Yeah, pull up by side, yeah, pull up on em Now I got this bag on hats on em I'm straight out of these diamonds, I'm straight out of these lights Yeah, yeah, how you gon'save these bills?
01:00:49.000Yeah, turn up at my show, at least just do it right Yeah, yeah, we go all night You gon'save these things, gon'save these things, gon'shut up all night You gon'save my drink, you gon'save my cup, you gon'save me all right They had the feeling that they had the problems of the bank And they jubbin'them like something tweakin'We got the bills that you put up outside of you, out of your mind, you crazy tweakin'Got some bad of my lane, bad of my mind, no really bad, am I tweakin'Now that you lovin'these lights, you lovin'this world, we runnin'it back every weekend Shut in love with me every time I know what you're bleakin'
01:01:19.000All your track is set, it's like that world Y'all get to run the bed up every weekend Now you see I'm gone off on the tape You say that I'm bad for no reason Bitch, I'm big up Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh I wanna be addicted.
01:05:00.000They say, "Crust no baby, but your brothers like it" Believe your day was in the hall of power I said, "Trump, put those in the love of God" My mama said, "Trust, no hope, use a heart of God" But they say, "Crust no baby, but your brothers like it"to believe your favourite.
01:05:19.000Last dog was not everybody warming out.
01:08:59.000And people don't realize what they held.
01:09:04.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did, the things we fought for, and the boys that died for, it's all gone down the drain.
01:09:18.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
01:09:23.000We haven't got the country we had when I was great.
01:11:02.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:11:07.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:11:13.000And we're killing ourselves every day inadvertently with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:11:20.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:11:28.000People have got to start to get Courageous.
01:11:31.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
01:11:45.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
01:11:49.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?

01:14:17.000Nigger Howl Hitler Nigger Howl Hitler They don't understand the things I say on Twitter Nigger Howl Hitler They don't understand the things I say on Twitter All my niggas
01:14:35.000now, she's nigger Howl Hitler Nigger Howl Hitler Nigger Howl Hitler Nigger Howl Hitler And the Romans?
01:14:51.000Nigger Howl Hitler They don't understand the things I say on Twitter All my niggas now, she's nigger Howl Hitler Nigger Howl Hitler All my niggas now, she's nigger Howl Hitler I put the crumb on a bench you It couldn't be more clear-cut.
01:15:12.000The way things are going, this civilization is over.
01:15:31.000Go 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 ice skating in the park.
01:15:45.000And people are driving around and they're driving clean cars and the houses are maintained and kept up.
01:15:53.000And you go down to the bakery and you get a coffee cake and you go to a nice restaurant at night and you pay your bill and you leave a nice tip and you go to the grocery store and you return your shopping cart and you don't take more than one sample and you wait your turn in line and you go to the, you know, we can't even get into the transportation.
01:16:14.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
01:16:20.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
01:17:44.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
01:17:50.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
01:17:55.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
01:18:02.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed nevite 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.
01:21:52.000and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.
01:21:57.000Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.
01:22:03.000We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planets.
01:22:10.000We want everyone and we want people to confront Christmas.
01:22:15.000But this country can't offer the hostage by a small minority that doesn't make this country a Christian country.
01:22:30.000The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.
01:22:35.000The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by buying.
01:22:43.000The only way we're going to make this happen is with the holdness of the real Christians.
01:22:51.000We have got to be able to die in Jesus Christ.
01:22:55.000We have to want more than they do because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
01:24:07.000We gon' send these bills, we gon' send these lights.
01:24:11.000Turn up my show, I need to do it right.

01:25:35.000America first is inevitable, it's unstoppable And the reason why is because...
01:30:50.000Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right chance, whether they've made the most of the opportunities that they've been given.
01:38:47.000My entire narrative is not one of some sudden moving points of light came out of the blue.
01:38:53.000It 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.
01:39:08.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
01:39:17.000I think it was because I scarcely came out during the Groico Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Shield Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty, and of course defending Nick Fuente 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.
01:39:47.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
01:45:54.000The classroom couldn't believe it either.
01:45:59.000But in the end, he had logic on this side.
01:46:06.000And at the end of the day, we prove this point.
01:46:09.000Feel like De Niro on Casino Well, they got the signing for the Cino No son and when you growing on that place, what you think me the girl should be rolling on the case.

01:56:18.000Our featured story, we're once again talking about the war in Iran.
01:56:23.000And this may be our last night of coverage of the crisis.
01:56:28.000Yesterday, a ceasefire was implemented very late in the evening, and it barely held this morning, but it appears to be in effect.
01:56:38.000And so by tomorrow, day after that, it could be the case that this is a temporary end to the hostilities between Israel, Iran, and the United States.
01:56:50.000So if that's the case, that'll bring to an end our coverage of the 12-day war with Iran.
01:56:56.000And by that, I mean our special attention to it.
01:57:00.000Big live specials every night going over every single update.
01:57:03.000So we'll probably resume to more normal coverage of politics later in the week.
01:57:08.000But tonight we're going to talk a little bit about this epilogue here.
01:57:13.000Yesterday we discussed the ceasefire arrangement, and at the time of doing the show last night, there were so many questions whether there was a ceasefire agreement, whether either party had actually agreed to it, whether Trump was just making it up, and whether the ceasefire would hold.
01:57:31.000And this morning, the ceasefire was tested.
01:58:56.000We'll talk about the violations this morning, Trump's reaction to them.
01:59:01.000We'll also talk tonight about this brand new report, other big story about this conflict, just broke a few hours ago.
01:59:10.000There is a classified intelligence report.
01:59:14.000It has not been shared with Congress, has not been shared with the public.
01:59:18.000It's from the Defense Intelligence Agency, the DIA, which is one of the 17 intelligence agencies that's part of the Intel community.
01:59:27.000The new report, which we do not have, says that Trump's strike was a failure.
01:59:33.000It says, and these were our suspicions last night.
01:59:36.000Yesterday, we talked a little bit about the preliminary evidence about the damage that was done to the three nuclear facilities in the U.S. strikes on Iran on Saturday.
01:59:49.000There are weapons inspectors and there are government officials in the U.S. and Israel on both sides.
01:59:57.000Some say that the damage was comprehensive and the facilities were destroyed.
02:00:03.000Other people say the facilities were damaged and we don't know whether the centrifuges or the highly enriched uranium was fully destroyed.
02:00:13.000Well, the first allegedly classified intelligence briefing from our Intel community, it actually verifies that none of the facilities were destroyed.
02:00:23.000Natan's suffered the most damage, but Fordo was not affected really at all.
02:00:29.000They say that two of the tunnel entrances were caved in, but the main parts of the complex remain intact.
02:00:37.000They say that in Esfahan, we didn't even try to destroy it.
02:00:40.000We launched cruise missiles at Esfahan, and they didn't even touch it.
02:00:44.000It only affected the surface level part of the facility.
02:01:34.000And we'll talk about why and what that means.
02:01:37.000But as I've been saying, I said this last night, and I said this last week, before the strikes, after the strikes, during the war, the fundamental strategic situation has not changed at all.
02:01:54.000The only thing that has changed is that breakout time.
02:01:58.000Realistically, that is the biggest thing that has changed is that, and again, according to this report, that breakout time between when Iran makes a decision to nuclearize and when they acquire a nuclear bomb, that time, that variable went from three months to six months.
02:03:39.000Before we get into it, though, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble, smash the like button, leave a comment down below, let me know what you think.
02:06:26.000It's that they know that they would lose.
02:06:30.000They know that if they're in a debate with me, their job is not just to win, they have to demonstrate that everything I've been saying is completely ridiculous.
02:06:44.000Their position is that there is no alternative to their position.
02:06:48.000You have to be a pro-Israel, basic conservative, and that's all you can be.
02:06:53.000And if you consider an alternative, which is to be a white racialist or identitarian, to be an American nationalist, to be extremely critical of Israel and a Christian nationalist, they say that is simply not acceptable.
02:07:10.000And the only reason someone would believe those things is if they were motivated by irrational hatred, anti-Semitism in their DNA, and things of that nature.
02:07:22.000So they all know that if they sit with me, first of all, they're not going to win.
02:07:25.000But even if it's close, that simply won't do because then that will demonstrate that there is a vigorous debate to be had.
02:07:52.000Before we get into the actual conflict, and again, the big things we're going to cover tonight, we're going to talk about the ceasefire violation, Trump's reaction.
02:08:01.000We'll talk about the new report from CNN and New York Times, which is based on this classified intelligence briefing about the damage to Iran's nuclear program.
02:08:12.000We'll talk a little bit about the future.
02:08:14.000Before we do, I wanted to call out one last person.
02:08:19.000Past week, I've been calling out a lot of people, Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh, and yesterday called out Laura Loomer very strongly.
02:08:28.000And tonight I want to call out Steven Crowder.
02:08:47.000But Steven Crowder did a show today after many months of insinuating maybe that he was more based than he really is, dropping these hints, making these little references.
02:09:02.000He did like a happy merchant meme when the JFK files came out.
02:10:11.000If you caught his show, he called out Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, all of the biggest opponents of the war in Iran.
02:10:23.000And he said that every single one of them was talking about how we are in World War III.
02:10:30.000Alex Jones, Bannon, Ian Carroll, Candace Owens, that whole crew, they all said they were hurtling towards World War III.
02:10:38.000And Crowder said, well, they were wrong.
02:12:02.000But when you look at his face and you look in his eyes and you hear the way he talks and you see his graphic t-shirts, you realize this guy's really not very bright.
02:12:13.000Like, he's just really not that intelligent.
02:13:34.000You are a grown man dressed up like a skater with a beanie on saying that the real foreign entanglement is Saudi Arabia and Qatar and all this kind of stuff.
02:13:45.000It's like, you know, unfortunately, it's just the blind leading the blind.
02:13:50.000It's, it's, and you can kind of see that when Tim Poole does a meetup, you can kind of see this like crowd of sweaty walking mozzarella sticks that attends his events.
02:13:58.000It's like, this is just kind of what you're dealing with.
02:14:01.000But anyway, so Crowder says these people like Candace and Ian Carroll and the rest of them, Bannon, he said that they traffic in controversy and provocation because they're being incentivized to do this by the social media algorithm.
02:14:20.000And maybe they're not doing it intentionally.
02:14:22.000Maybe they're not even cognizant that they're doing it.
02:15:12.000Two weeks ago, Israel launches an unprecedented preemptive attack on Iran.
02:15:18.000It's the first time they've ever carried out hostilities like this since the Islamic Revolution in 79. The United States enters the conflict and bombs Iran.
02:15:29.000Taken together, this is the biggest escalation against Iran in a shadow war and a proxy war, a regional war that has been going on for 25 years.
02:15:42.000This echoes about a dozen other regime change and non-proliferation conflicts in the Middle East going back 50 years.
02:15:52.000Moreover, this is happening in the context of a war with Russia in Ukraine that has no end in sight.
02:15:59.000This is happening literally simultaneously as China sent their Coast Guard and surrounded Taiwan, naval vessels on the coast of South Korea, on the coast of Taiwan, that entire island chain, aircraft carriers and everything.
02:16:18.000The ceasefire has been in place for 12 hours and they say, well, we were right.
02:16:36.000I see a lot of people saying, especially with regard to me, they're saying, see, Nick Fuentes was wrong.
02:16:43.000Because after Israel attacked Iran, after the United States bombed Iran, a ceasefire went into place and it's been 12 hours and now it's a done deal.
02:16:54.000How quickly people forget the history.
02:16:58.000Understand, how did I predict that the United States would confront Iran?
02:17:03.000And by the way, I didn't say that we would have boots on the ground in Iran.
02:17:08.000I never said that we would be fighting a counterinsurgency in Iran for 25 years like Iraq.
02:17:14.000What I said, and you can go and watch the clip, it is from October 2023.
02:17:20.000I said, what Israel is doing is they are defeating the axis of resistance in detail.
02:17:26.000First Hamas, then Hezbollah, then Assad, and it culminates in a confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program, and then regime change in Iran.
02:17:38.000Now, regime change, this is not a semantic difference.
02:18:00.000And once again, the reason I made that prediction as opposed to other predictions, the reason it came true is because I'm a student of history.
02:18:10.000And if you look at the larger context, not just the past 12 days, not just the past six months, this is part of a much longer conflict.
02:18:19.000And I laid this out on the show last night.
02:18:22.000So if you want the comprehensive timeline, you can watch the show.
02:18:26.000We have been in open hostilities against Iran going back to at least 2018.
02:18:33.000Israel and the United States conducting joint operations goes back even further than that, goes back a long time.
02:18:41.000But it was in 2018, seven years ago, that the United States declared Iran and their Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group.
02:18:51.000It was in 2019 that we were last in a shooting war with Russia, where, or excuse me, with Iran.
02:19:00.000We're in a shooting war with Russia now.
02:19:03.000It was in 2019 that we were in a shooting war with Iran.
02:19:07.000Iran was accused of sabotaging oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.
02:21:27.000We're not in World War III because we have a tentative ceasefire, which appears to be more of an understanding than an actual agreement in the context of every other conflict happening on every other continent.
02:21:41.000Suffice to say, we are in World War III.
02:21:57.000Mearsheimer was on the judge the other day, Judge Napolitano, great show.
02:22:02.000And he said that in the first two years of World War II in the European theater, from 1939 until 1941, and that comprises Hitler's invasion of Poland, Hitler's invasion of France, taking over France, many of the hostilities that took place on the continent that are famous.
02:22:21.000He said until 1941, fewer people had died in World War II than have died so far in Ukraine alone.
02:22:30.000This is the deadliest shooting war on the European continent since World War II.
02:22:35.000China is clearly testing the waters in Taiwan.
02:22:39.000And there is debate about whether they're ever going to make the move against Taiwan.
02:22:43.000But certainly they're menacing the island.
02:22:46.000Certainly they're moving to project power with trade and with their naval force.
02:22:50.000You have North Koreans fighting inside Russia.
02:22:54.000Russia is a strategic partner of North Korea.
02:22:57.000And now we're in a war with Iran, Which just ended apparently 12 or 24 hours ago.
02:23:05.000And people like Crowder want to say, see, you were wrong.
02:23:25.000It terrifies me the prospect of a nuclear conflict, an armed conflict with Russia and China.
02:23:31.000The risk of this, the threat of this, is very real, and it is scary.
02:23:37.000And I want Trump to resolve the war in Ukraine.
02:23:39.000I want him to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.
02:23:42.000I want him to resolve tensions with China.
02:23:45.000Being concerned about it doesn't mean I don't want that to happen.
02:23:48.000Being concerned about that doesn't mean I'm not rooting for Trump to succeed.
02:23:53.000But you have these people on social media, and it seems like the concern for them is more about protecting their defense of the status quo.
02:24:02.000There is a status quo that has driven us into the conflict in Iran.
02:24:06.000There is a status quo that is driving us into a conflict with China and on and on with everything else.
02:24:13.000And you have these people like Crowder.
02:24:17.000They're talking about Democrat activists kicking Trump yard signs.
02:24:21.000They're talking about woke Disney movies.
02:24:23.000They're talking about a metric ton of bullshit.
02:24:26.000And then when something real happens and it's not on their radar and they're caught totally off guard, and because they know nothing about what to say about it, they don't know the stakes, they say, oh, because they don't understand it.
02:24:37.000Well, the woke right, you know, they're just trafficking in controversy for the sake of controversy.
02:24:43.000They're saying we're entering World War III for the algorithm.
02:24:47.000No, we're saying World War III because we're in World War III.
02:25:41.000Even though it might seem like that on Twitter, even though it might seem like that on Instagram, even though it might seem like that with young people, this is a big country with a lot of boomers and a lot of other television viewers, a lot of NPCs, a lot of sitcom humor robots.
02:25:59.00087% of Republicans supported Trump strikes on Iran.
02:26:08.000So for these people like Crowder and Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, they're always kvetching and hand-wringing about the woke right and about anti-Semites.
02:26:25.000And they're still defenders of the status quo and the regime.
02:26:28.000And the people like us telling the truth, giving you the information, the real red pills, explaining the situation, the history, the facts, the information that you don't hear on these controlled, centralized corporate media outlets, you know, we're still very much in the resistance here.
02:28:58.000There are forces pushing for a world war.
02:29:01.000They were successful in getting Trump to intervene.
02:29:04.000This affects the future and not in a good way.
02:29:09.000And the idea that if we just ignore that and cross our fingers and knock on wood and engage in these kind of superstitious rituals, oh, I'm going to just put my MAGA hat on and just trust the plan.
02:29:22.000Mr. Trump, if you can hear us, you know, that's not going to help.
02:29:33.000You know, and Tucker Carlson is somebody who I believe he's involved in intelligence.
02:29:39.000This guy was lobbying and moving heaven and earth to try to stop this war.
02:29:44.000Throughout last year, throughout this year, he was in Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, meeting with the heads of state, trying to avert a conflict, promoting Steve Witkoff and those guys that got fired in the Pentagon, Dan Caldwell and the rest of his crew with Pete Hagseff.
02:30:00.000He's putting stuff out on Twitter, putting out shows, trying to push public opinion in the right direction.
02:30:06.000And you got people saying, oh, you know, that's out to lunch.
02:31:02.000And to the extent that we can influence the process, all we can do is speak out.
02:31:07.000All we can do is demonstrate to the president that his base, his supporters, the Republican voters, the Republican base, the conservatives, do not support it.
02:31:17.000We as the American public have to say loudly and vocally, we are against the war.
02:32:33.000It's just like a weird emotional response.
02:32:37.000It's like a weird, like adaptive trait to try to spare you the mental anguish or the cognitive dissonance of the gravity of the situation, you know, once you take all of it into account.
02:32:51.000So anyway, I just want to be clear about that for these jag offs that are saying, you know, they want you to hate Trump.
02:33:14.000And sitting here behind this desk and him sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office, all I could do is talk to people.
02:33:22.000All I could do is warn people, give them the information, tell them what's going on.
02:33:28.000So anyway, I just want to make that clear because, you know, this is a time when everybody wants to put words in your mouth and say, this is what this crowd is saying, and this is why they're doing it, and this is their motivation.
02:33:39.000I hope everybody understands what I do and why I do it and, you know, where that comes from.
02:33:45.000But anyway, so that's just sort of a statement on the whole damn process from the beginning of it until the end.
02:33:54.000I believe if you've been watching the show, if you've joined me for the past couple of weeks, you see you're getting a wealth of information.
02:34:02.000I'm explaining it to you in a step-by-step and logical way.
02:34:07.000You might disagree with it, but you see where I'm coming from.
02:34:11.000And I think you know at this point, my feelings are, my disposition is that the United States has no interest in a Middle Eastern quagmire.
02:34:22.000And yet those are exactly Israel's plans for us.
02:34:26.000And they're really trying to get us in there.
02:34:28.000And I think that's bad for our country.
02:34:56.000I do want to get into our news tonight.
02:34:58.000This is about the war between Iran and Israel.
02:35:01.000And the big development today is on this tentative ceasefire that broke out yesterday.
02:35:08.000And yesterday, we had very incomplete information about the ceasefire.
02:35:12.000As you know, Trump put out a truth social post and declared to the surprise of many in Iran, in Israel, in his own government, that there was a ceasefire.
02:35:25.000He said this last night, and even his own top officials didn't know about it.
02:35:30.000He said that a ceasefire had been mediated by Qatar and that by the end of the day, yesterday, Iran and Israel would wrap up their ongoing operations against each other, and there would be a ceasefire, and the hostilities would officially end, and we could pick up where we left off with diplomacy.
02:35:49.000Now, yesterday, we didn't know if that was even true.
02:35:52.000There's been so much deception from the very beginning, and in particular from the president, about his plans to attack Iran about the fate of negotiations, about his willingness to engage in diplomacy, all of it.
02:36:06.000So initially, we didn't know if he was making that up.
02:36:09.000We didn't know if there was agreement between Israel and Iran.
02:36:14.000And if they had agreed, we didn't know if they were lying.
02:36:18.000Because after so much deception from all sides, it's not just Trump that has rug-pulled Iran on negotiations, but some of these other sides, maybe they don't trust each other and they're being deceptive as well.
02:36:30.000So we didn't really know what was happening yesterday, if there was any truth in that, if it would hold, if it was real, would they actually stick to it or was this another ruse?
02:36:41.000But today, it appears that the ceasefire has held.
02:36:45.000This morning, there was allegedly a strike by Iran, which threatened to derail the entire thing.
02:36:52.000And Trump intervened very quickly to prevent that from restarting hostilities between Israel and Iran.
02:36:59.000And after Trump's intervention this morning, it seems like so far the ceasefire has stuck.
02:37:05.000And if the ceasefire sticks, then that means that we will now enter into a period of a disquiet peace.
02:37:15.000You know, it's sort of like this tense and nervous and uneasy peace.
02:37:23.000We just had this outbreak of hostilities, a preemptive attack that surprised everybody, the United States launching this unbelievable operation, and now all of a sudden it comes to a very abrupt halt.
02:37:34.000And now you have settling in this very uneasy peace arrangement.
02:37:38.000If that's the case, then maybe we're moving into another phase of the conflict.
02:37:42.000This is another trough here in the hostilities between the countries.
02:37:46.000And we'll talk a little bit about precisely what happened, and then we'll talk about the future.
02:37:50.000So this morning, the ceasefire went into effect.
02:40:47.000They said, we didn't even fire that missile.
02:40:50.000Israel's most aggressive ministers in the government who were unhappy at the ceasefire.
02:40:57.000The hardliners inside the Israeli government who chafed at Trump and said the ceasefire was imposed on Israel to prevent them from achieving their full objectives.
02:41:07.000These radical ministers in the Israeli government said, well, now all bets are off.
02:41:13.000We are going to bomb Tehran as hard as we can to retaliate because they broke the ceasefire.
02:41:21.000And they went up into the air immediately.
02:43:47.000That says, quote, President Trump on Tuesday accused Israel and Iran of violating the ceasefire that he had announced hours earlier.
02:43:55.000Using an expletive in remarks to reporters, Mr. Trump said the two adversaries did not know what they were doing and sharply criticized Israel for firing on Iran right after we made a deal.
02:44:07.000He said they violated it, but Israel violated it too.
02:44:12.000He said, Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before.
02:44:33.000Nearly two hours after Israel's announcement confirming it had agreed to the truce, sirens in northern Israel warned of missiles launched from Iran.
02:44:41.000Israel's military accused Iran of breaking the ceasefire, saying in a statement that it would respond with force.
02:44:48.000Israel retaliated by striking a radar system near Tehran.
02:44:52.000The office of Prime Minister Nenyahu of Israel said in a statement, despite the threat to respond with force, the attack appeared to be minor and symbolic.
02:45:02.000In his comments to reporters, Mr. Trump claimed Iran will never rebuild its nuclear program.
02:45:08.000He said the ceasefire remains in effect.
02:45:10.000Quote, Israel's not going to attack Iran.
02:45:13.000All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave.
02:46:52.000When the ceasefire was announced, Israel launched 300 airstrikes against Iran.
02:46:59.000Trump announces a ceasefire, and hours before it goes into effect, Israel says, okay, here's our chance while we still have time.
02:47:09.000And they go in and hit Iran harder than they've ever hit Iran since the war started.
02:47:15.000And they hit all these critical infrastructure for the regime, which will weaken the regime to intelligence penetration, to civil unrest, political dissent, all kinds of problems for the Iranian regime.
02:47:27.000And then they say, okay, now we're done.
02:47:30.000And you wonder, what was the purpose of that?
02:47:50.000Let's hit them as hard as we can because we have an excuse to.
02:47:54.000Are they opportunists taking advantage of the crisis, even though they'd really like the hostilities to end, even though they're going to observe the ceasefire and they'd like to take their breath and have a little reprieve here in the fighting?
02:48:08.000Or was this an effort to provoke Iran into extending the hostilities for a few more days?
02:48:15.000Did they drop all these bombs not because they had time, but to provoke Iran into retaliating?
02:48:22.000So that even if there is an agreement, Iran says, I thought we had a ceasefire.
02:48:27.000We got bombed 300 times on a technicality.
02:48:30.000They snuck 300 airstrikes in under the table before the buzzer ran out.
02:48:47.000And we'll have to see what happens over the course of the coming days if Israel takes an opportunity to restart operations, if they generate some other pretext like a false flag over here or over there.
02:50:35.000They can't have a war with Iran that is a war of attrition with missiles and airstrikes.
02:50:40.000It can't go on for longer than a few weeks because on the other side of three or four weeks, Israel's out of missile defense and then they're just getting destroyed.
02:50:52.000The United States definitely doesn't want that.
02:50:55.000So I think maybe Israel sues for peace because they see they've achieved their big objectives or at least a significant part of their major objectives and they don't want to get hammered any further.
02:51:07.000They want to replenish, regroup, and maybe they have plans for another operation in the near future.
02:51:13.000There's another school of thought which says that the other way that Israel can get Iran to stop bombing Israel is to topple the regime.
02:51:23.000How do you get Iran to stop firing missiles at Israel?
02:51:26.000Well, and I said this last night, you can de-escalate and have a peace, or you can escalate and decapitate the regime.
02:51:34.000If Israel claims they're able to kill everyone in the IRGC, they could collapse the Iranian government.
02:52:01.000Although I think it's more likely that they sued for peace because they don't want to get hit anymore.
02:52:07.000And I said earlier, every side is claiming victory.
02:52:10.000This is very important in understanding what the future is going to look like.
02:52:16.000I think that Trump got in the middle of this and created a face-saving ceasefire so that everybody could take a break and regroup and everybody could say that they were victorious.
02:52:31.000To say that every side has won in pursuit of a face-saving posture, this is political and rhetorical in nature, which means that it doesn't necessarily correspond to reality.
02:52:46.000What I mean by that is Iran is declaring victory.
02:55:11.000We didn't destroy their nuclear program.
02:55:14.000Israel did not destroy all their ballistic missiles, did not destroy their ability to make ballistic missiles, and the regime is still intact.
02:55:27.000The reason I point all of this out is because, Like I said last night, and like I've said throughout the past couple of years, the strategic situation has not changed between these countries.
02:55:41.000The reason that Israel carried out strikes on regime targets yesterday is because they still desire regime change.
02:55:54.000For 15, 20 years, Netanyahu has been calling for the Iranian regime to be toppled, calling for the people to rise up, making televised addresses to the Americans, to the Iranians, telling them Iran needs freedom.
02:56:09.000They need to be liberated, all this stuff.
02:56:47.000If they come out today and say we didn't damage a nuclear program, we only set it back three months, guess what they're going to say in three months?
02:57:44.000It says that Esfahan is so deep underground, we only hit it with cruise missiles.
02:57:50.000All we did was damage the surface level part of the facility.
02:57:54.000They said that with Fordo, all we did was collapse two out of the five tunnel entrances and that the major parts of the complex were not collapsed, were not destroyed.
02:58:07.000They said, moreover, not only was the Fordo facility mostly unaffected, the enriched uranium and the centrifuges were already removed from the complex in advance of the strikes.
02:58:22.000It says, quote, a preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran set back the country's program by only a few months.
02:58:33.000The strikes sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities, but did not collapse their underground buildings.
02:58:40.000And by the way, that's consistent with the evidence.
02:58:43.000Because, of course, Israel bombed Ford yesterday.
02:58:48.000Why would Israel bomb Fordo if it was completely destroyed?
02:58:51.000Israel went back in two days after the United States and they hit the same facility again.
02:59:33.000The report also said that much of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium was removed before the strikes, which delayed little of the nuclear material, or excuse me, destroyed little of the nuclear material.
02:59:44.000Iran may have moved some of that to secret locations.
02:59:48.000Some Israeli officials also believe that the Iranian government maintained small covert enrichment facilities to continue its program in the event of an attack on the larger facilities.
02:59:59.000Other officials noted that the report found that the three sites, Fordo, Natans, and Isfahan, had suffered moderate to severe damage with the facility at Natans damaged the most.
03:00:10.000Current and former officials had cautioned before the strike that any effort to destroy Fordo, which is buried nearly 300 feet under a mountain, would probably require waves of airstrikes with days or even weeks of pounding the same spots.
03:00:44.000And these are built under the ridges of the mountains, 300 feet underground at least.
03:00:50.000And we don't even know the schematics of the entire site.
03:00:53.000They said, so you got to hit the right spot, the right time, over and over and over again on a mountain ridge before you even penetrate what actually matters, these chambers that house the centrifuges to collapse it like they want.
03:01:33.000It says, current and former officials cautioned before the strike, any effort to destroy Ford would require waves of airstrikes, taking days or weeks, pounding the same spot.
03:01:43.000Since the strikes, Mr. Trump has complained to his advisors repeatedly about news reports that have questioned how much damage was done.
03:01:52.000He closely watched public statements of other officials when they are asked about the damage to the facilities.
03:01:58.000Officials caution that the five-page Classified report was only an initial assessment.
03:02:05.000But the DIA report indicates the sites were not damaged as much as some in the administration had hoped, and that Iran retains control of almost all of its nuclear material, meaning if it decides to make a nuclear weapon, it might still be able to do so relatively quickly.
03:02:26.000Iranian enrichment is a problem because enrichment of uranium is the most difficult, scientifically complex, involved process to making a nuclear bomb.
03:02:40.000Everything else is relatively more easy than creating highly enriched uranium, which is the fuel.
03:02:46.000This is the fissible material that actually goes into and makes an atomic bomb, an atomic bomb.
03:02:53.000So that's what is at the center of all of this, Iran's ability to enrich the uranium using their centrifuges.
03:03:00.000The centrifuges are buried deep underground at all these sites, at Esfahan, at Fordo, at Natans.
03:03:06.000Esfahan, they do actually a little bit of a different activity.
03:03:10.000But at Fordo and Natanz, that's where most of the centrifuges are.
03:03:14.000Now, Iran enriches uranium to 60%, which is very difficult.
03:03:20.00060% is very close to 90% enriched uranium.
03:03:26.000It's easier to get 60% to 90% than it is to get from a very low grade to 60%.
03:03:33.000Iran has a big stockpile of 60% enriched uranium.
03:03:37.000As long as they have the big stockpile, which took them a long time and was very difficult to create, as long as they have that stockpile, as long as they have some centrifuges, they can make fuel for a bomb.
03:03:51.000If they have the stockpile, if they have some centrifuges that remain intact at Fordo or at other smaller facilities, they can spin those up, make 90% highly enriched uranium, and they've got the material for a bomb.
03:04:06.000That's why they say that if the material has been removed and is intact, if the centrifuges exist elsewhere, then that breakout time between when Iran decides to make a bomb and when they get one is still very short.
03:04:21.000If the stockpile and all the centrifuges were destroyed, it would take them years to rebuild the centrifuges, which they could do, and then to enrich a big stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
03:04:36.000So this is why the attack allegedly was not as successful as they say.
03:04:41.000And what that means is that, again, fundamentally, nothing has changed.
03:04:46.000Iran wasn't two weeks away because they were working on a bomb.
03:04:51.000They were two weeks away because if they decided to make one, allegedly, it would only take them two weeks to enrich their existing stockpile the extra step to 90%.
03:06:33.000He doesn't want to be drawn into the conflict.
03:06:35.000Maybe there's sort of a, this is a handshake agreement with the Iranians.
03:06:40.000Maybe this was a form of a symbolic strike.
03:06:44.000Trump gave them enough notice to move their material out of Fordo, hit it, but not enough times to totally destroy it.
03:06:53.000You wonder what's really going on here.
03:06:56.000But clearly he doesn't want a wider war.
03:06:58.000Clearly he doesn't want to be entangled.
03:07:01.000So either he never intended to destroy Fordo because he knew that would guarantee we'd be further involved, or he didn't destroy it, but he wants to lie and say that he did so that he can safe face and get out of the fighting and so that Israel has an off-ramp out of the fighting as well.
03:07:18.000But what are the implications of this?
03:07:20.000We have to assume Israeli and U.S. military planners, they just have to assume that Iran has other enrichment facilities.
03:07:29.000They have to assume that Iran has moved their stockpile or that these facilities were not completely destroyed.
03:07:35.000And like I said, if they're making these assumptions, then guess what's going to rear its head down the line?
03:07:41.000Iran is rebuilding its nuclear program.
03:08:30.000And the ability of the European countries to put snapback sanctions on Iran expires.
03:08:38.000So the delegation from France has said: if Iran doesn't come to the table before the end of the summer, then France, the UK, and Germany are putting their sanctions back on Iran.
03:08:56.000Sanctions, all the rest of it from the U.S., from Europe, just like before the bombing started, just like during the IAEA governor's board meeting, Europe and the United States will once again be putting pressure on Iran that they have to give up their nuclear program.
03:09:13.000They have to agree that they're done enriching.
03:09:15.000They're not going to engage in that or rebuild at all, which clearly I don't think they're going to give that up.
03:11:16.000Iran, given enough breathing room, given sanctions relief, if everybody's happy on the U.S. and European side, Iran gets relief, they regroup, they grow stronger.
03:11:28.000Meanwhile, Israel is watching from the sidelines.
03:11:31.000You think they're going to stay out of it?
03:11:33.000You think Israel is going to watch Iran reconstitute itself and get money and make a deal and integrate in the region and the regime is going to not only remain but grow stronger?
03:11:43.000Of course, they're not going to do that.
03:11:46.000So I would not be surprised if we're going to do this all over again before the end of the year.
03:11:52.000And that's how the Israelis set it up.
03:11:55.000With their first strike, with their last strike, they decapitated the government.
03:11:59.000Clearly, they still have an eye towards regime change.
03:12:03.000And with Iran's program intact, with Iran and the United States still willing to negotiate, ostensibly, and the only good that can come out of that is that Iran is going to rebuild all its strength, Israel will have every incentive to make sure that a deal does not happen.
03:12:22.000They have every incentive to make sure that Iran cannot get sanctions relief, cannot reconstitute its program, its missiles, cannot restore the credibility of its government in the minds of the people.
03:12:34.000Like they're just not, they're not going to allow that to happen.
03:13:02.000Iran is going to say, we're not giving up enrichment, and we won't even make any agreement unless we get concrete sanctions relief in the near term.
03:14:40.000My dream would be that the United States totally restrains Israel and does regime change there, and Israel is brought to heal.
03:14:49.000And I hope that Iran makes a deal and they get confidence that they're not going anywhere.
03:14:55.000And investment goes in and they're our ally.
03:14:58.000And I wish nothing But the best, but this is a situation staring us in the face right now, and you're just naive to ignore these very troubling developments.
03:15:10.000So maybe Israel takes a breather to get more foreign aid, and that'll be the next thing, probably in the big, beautiful bill or on the sidelines of it.
03:15:19.000They're going to replenish Israel's interceptors.
03:15:22.000They're going to reroute missile defense to Israel.
03:17:54.000I guess we'll have to take a look at the ones from yesterday then, and then it'll be a pretty short Super Chat segment.
03:17:59.000I think we missed like three at the very end, so I guess we'll knock these out, and then we're going to call it a night because I don't know what's going on here with my website here.
03:18:17.000You know, and I agree with him that some of it is telegraph.
03:18:21.000Some of it is clearly a lot of the things that are happening, like the U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear and Iran's retaliation against the United States, a lot of that is performative, but, you know, that's part of war.
03:18:35.000You know, these performances, these symbolic strikes, that's just as much a part of the war as the real fighting.
03:18:40.000But no, I mean, real bombs are being dropped.
