00:08:37.000 Reader is spoiled by Nick.

00:08:40.000 Reader is short.

00:08:44.000 Bruh.

00:08:46.000 Shenanigans in general. 0.98

00:09:04.000 Yeah, we gotta stop. 0.99

00:09:05.000 We're gonna stop writing fanfiction.

00:09:08.000 Immediately.

00:09:10.000 Yeah, okay.

00:09:11.000 Don't send this to me anymore.

00:09:12.000 Thank you, but don't send that to me anymore.

00:09:16.000 We have been looking at no more than projections of a conjured reality.

00:09:20.000 Also known as a mirage.

00:09:23.000 But we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means.

00:09:40.000 What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us.

00:09:55.000 An overflowing of love.

00:09:58.000 An overflowing of self-giving love.

00:10:02.000 So much of it, it cannot be contained.

00:10:08.000 An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children.

00:10:15.000 Even those that are misguided.

00:10:16.000 Even those that persecute us.

00:10:19.000 Even the most heinous among us.

00:10:22.000 That is what makes us different.

00:10:26.000 That is what makes us good. 1.00

00:10:36.000 Ever since I got on this keto knife, ever since I got on the orchid, ever since I got on a carnivore knife, shut the fuck up. 0.99

00:10:53.000 Any final words to young men? 0.99

00:10:56.000 The final words are just focus.

00:10:59.000 Read as many books as you can, learn a language, learn an instrument, get the best grades you can, get into a good school, and just don't mess around.

00:11:07.000 You turn like 18, 20, and then it just goes at light speed.

00:11:12.000 And if you are wasting time, years will go by.

00:11:16.000 And you will wake up when you're 25 years old and say, I thought I would have accomplished more by now.

00:11:21.000 Why am I still stuck in the same place?

00:11:24.000 Let time be your ally by working every single day at what you think you want to be doing in 20 years.

00:11:39.000 The servant who received five talents invested it and earned five more.

00:11:44.000 The one who received two talents also invested wisely and earned two more.

00:11:49.000 But the servant who received one talent went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

00:11:57.000 When the master returned, the servant with five talents said, Master, you gave me five and look, I've gained five more.

00:12:05.000 The master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant.

00:12:09.000 Because you have been faithful with little, I will put you in charge of much.

00:12:14.000 The servant with two talents said, Master, you gave me two, and look, I've gained two more.

00:12:21.000 The master said the same, Well done, good and faithful servant.

00:12:25.000 You have been faithful with little, I will trust you with much.

00:12:31.000 But the servant with one talent said, Master, I was afraid, so I hid your money in the ground.

00:12:37.000 Here, take back what is yours. 0.99

00:12:39.000 The master replied, You wicked and lazy servant. 0.92

00:12:44.000 If you knew that I reap where I have not sown, then you should have at least put my money in the bank so I could have earned interest. 0.98

00:12:50.000 Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.

00:12:54.000 For whoever has will be given more, and whoever does not have, even what little he has will be taken away.

00:13:13.000 We have a tendency to unthinkingly always support the right wing.

00:13:18.000 Why?

00:13:18.000 Because the Republicans are better than the Democrats.

00:13:21.000 Here's a little perspective. 1.00

00:13:22.000 Let's say that Kamala Harris had won the election in 2024.

00:13:26.000 If Kamala doubled down on supporting Ukraine as Trump has, if Kamala bombed Iran, there'd be riots in the streets. 1.00

00:13:34.000 People would say our illegitimate president, who cheated her way into the nomination, she's expanding the war, she's expanding World War III into the Middle East. 0.93

00:13:43.000 Everybody would say this is illegitimate, this is like a crime.

00:13:46.000 But because it was Trump, 90% of Republicans supported Trump bombing Iran on Israel's behalf.

00:13:54.000 Because it was Trump.

00:13:55.000 If it was Kamala, do you think 90% of Republicans would have supported it?

00:14:00.000 Absolutely not.

00:14:02.000 Democrats wouldn't support it, independents wouldn't support it, and Republicans would not support it.

00:14:08.000 And it's time to just say it outright Donald Trump is the Matrix president, okay?

00:14:15.000 In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the Matrix candidate.

00:14:19.000 In 2020, Joe Biden was the matrix candidate.

00:14:22.000 But in 2024, Donald Trump was.

00:14:25.000 And why? 0.84

00:14:26.000 After October 7th, the Jews knew that the Republican Party, controlled by AIPAC, controlled by Israel, and with Trump in office, they were going to let Israel do whatever they wanted to do. 0.86

00:14:36.000 It's clear, it's obvious. 0.88

00:14:38.000 And the media is in on it.

00:14:40.000 Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the media are all in on it because Trump is their matrix candidate.

00:14:46.000 That's why CNN is friendly to them.

00:14:49.000 That's why Silicon Valley gave him hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:14:52.000 That's why Wall Street did.

00:14:53.000 And Trump is just dispensing the favors.

00:14:56.000 Corporate tax cuts for Wall Street, bombing Iran for Israel. 0.54

00:14:59.000 This is the story of the 2024 election.

00:15:02.000 And here's the red pill that nobody's ready for JD Vance is the Matrix candidate.

00:15:08.000 They ordered Trump to nominate him.

00:15:10.000 Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Tucker Carlson ordered Trump to pick JD Vance.

00:15:17.000 We live in a system that is controlled by one party, and they played the parties off of each other.

00:15:23.000 They've done it forever. 0.78

00:15:24.000 When Israel was under attack, They played into the right wing because they knew that the Republican Party would say things like, There's a Muslim takeover of America.

00:15:34.000 Trump said he was going to bomb Iran.

00:15:36.000 We're tough.

00:15:37.000 So they leaned into the Republican cultural stuff.

00:15:40.000 That's why Charlie Kirk says Islam is taking over America, because that kind of Islamophobic rhetoric plays well with the right wing. 0.88

00:15:49.000 That's why they did it. 0.99

00:15:50.000 There's no Muslim takeover of America, there's a Jewish takeover of America, obviously. 0.95

00:15:57.000 And the Republicans are involved in it just as much as the Democrats.

00:16:00.000 And this is what they don't want you to hear.

00:28:05.000 They are getting stronger.

00:28:07.000 I don't want to pretend, oh no, they're totally relevant.

00:28:10.000 You know, we shouldn't be worried about them.

00:28:12.000 That's not true at all.

00:28:13.000 They're getting much stronger.

00:28:15.000 I know young people, they sit and listen to them and go, you know, that's true.

00:28:18.000 Nobody ever mentions that, but there's some truth to that.

00:28:20.000 Instagram suggested a Nick Fuentes reel, and all the comments were like, Fuentes is right.

00:28:24.000 I had not listened to anything from Nick Fuentes once, not even a clip, nothing, until about six months ago.

00:28:31.000 It was bad for President Trump to have Ye West and Nick Fuentes over for dinner.

00:28:37.000 It's undeniable.

00:28:38.000 This young dude is a force to be reckoned with.

00:28:41.000 Why are

00:29:57.000 we fighting in Iran?

00:29:58.000 It's not about nukes.

00:30:00.000 It's not about missiles.

00:30:02.000 All you have to do is take a look at a map.

00:30:04.000 They have made peace with Egypt, Jordan, Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia. 0.53

00:30:10.000 They have destroyed the regime in Iraq, Syria, and soon to be Iran. 0.66

00:30:15.000 And what this gives them is unbridled, unlimited power. 0.54

00:30:19.000 To do what exactly?

00:30:21.000 Well, most likely to expand their territory.

00:30:24.000 Who exactly would stop that?

00:30:26.000 The answer is nobody. 0.67

00:30:28.000 If Israel controls that region, How rich, how powerful can they become? 0.77

00:30:34.000 My issue with Iranian regime change is that we are creating an Israeli superpower that not even we will be able to restrain. 0.71

00:30:43.000 Look at how they have used us like an instrument. 0.96

00:30:46.000 They stole a nuclear arsenal from us, they got all of this military technology from us, we defeated their foes, and now we have essentially handed this to them.

00:30:56.000 Now they're ready to cut the umbilical cord and become their own superpower.

00:31:00.000 We endured the cost, we paid the money, our soldiers died, our country burned so that. 0.97

00:31:05.000 A Israeli superpower could be born, and now our country will be in the wreckage. 0.87

00:31:23.000 Alright, 15 seconds, guidance is internal. 0.99

00:31:26.000 Five.

00:31:26.000 Ignition sequence five.

00:31:26.000 Four.

00:31:28.000 We are the best guest player in the world without a downer.

00:31:32.000 Five.

00:31:33.000 I'm the best ever.

00:31:34.000 I'm the most brutal, the most vicious, and the most ruthless champion there's ever been.

00:31:39.000 The second scenario, we can hold the finish line!

00:31:52.000 And one movement per man, the queen's muscle diamond per man.

00:36:31.000 I swipe shot, I assume you're less Have fun cheating like no But that's not what I'm trying to be I could be mean tonight

00:36:43.000 Nah, I'm tryna be nice, I'm tryna be nice, I'm tryna be, hey, You 0.99

00:37:17.000 shut up, just quit it. 1.00

00:37:19.000 Remember when I grabbed my shit, I said, no buys, I'm dippin. 1.00

00:37:23.000 Remember when I said I changed, I'm new, I'm here, I listen. 0.99

00:37:27.000 I know all this shit's so mean, but I'm really tryna fix it, fix it. 0.94

00:37:30.000 You can go side to side, it's white shot, I assume you're lookin' at me You can go low with a high, it's tough, I'm treatin' like nobody else can see But I could be mean tonight, but that's not what I'm tryna be I could be mean tonight, no I'm tryna be nice I'm tryna be nice I'm tryna be, I'm trying to be nice. 0.99

00:43:05.000 Ago, people said, I just can't even imagine Trump bringing us to war in Iran for regime change.

00:43:11.000 That's insane, it's unimaginable.

00:43:15.000 And now it's inevitable.

00:43:17.000 Now it's unthinkable that we're not going for war.

00:43:21.000 And that is because of the coercive influence of organized inside of our country.

00:43:34.000 I think I'm modern.

00:43:36.000 Kiss me, I'm Irish.

00:43:52.000 Americans are going to take our country back.

00:43:58.000 I won't even let death stop me. 1.00

00:44:02.000 Who is America?

00:44:05.000 I am America.

00:44:06.000 Chris Water, I can't see the time, but I'm having the time of my life.

00:44:11.000 Chris Poe, the game on the line.

00:44:13.000 I'm dropping the dime on him.

00:44:15.000 I'm trying to change for the better. 0.99

00:44:19.000 It's driving me fucking the same. 0.98

00:44:24.000 Hey, they on the bed. 0.99

00:44:25.000 I'm on the cover.

00:44:27.000 We're not on the same. 1.00

00:44:29.000 Pace, I be from the back, she gripping them covers like she on her last leg She look like she belong on a cover this ho, 0.97

00:44:43.000 getting covered in everything I'm about to take a banana, but she is not getting wet in rain If he wants to interview Nick Fuente, get the word out It's undeniable. 0.99

00:45:03.000 He's winning.

00:45:04.000 He's sort of undeniable in the space.

00:45:07.000 He's everywhere now.

00:45:09.000 He's enormously huge at this point.

00:45:11.000 He's on a generational run.

00:45:12.000 He is freaking on V-Pier.

00:45:14.000 Clearly a sender.

00:45:16.000 It's spelled F-U-E-N-T-E-S.

00:45:20.000 Very proud to present Nick Fuentes.

00:45:22.000 Nick Fuentes.

00:45:23.000 I appreciate it.

00:45:24.000 Nick Fuentes.

00:45:25.000 Thank you for doing this.

00:45:26.000 Let's call it the Nick Fuentes camp.

00:45:28.000 Mr. Nicholas G. Fuentes.

00:45:29.000 Welcome to the show.

00:45:30.000 Nick Funta.

00:45:31.000 They came to my house.

00:45:35.000 They tried to kill me.

00:45:39.000 I'm still here.

00:45:42.000 You know where to find me.

00:45:45.000 We find this house and we renovate.

00:45:53.000 I got my prop in the Bill Gates.

00:46:00.000 Not the same.

00:46:01.000 You're in my life and I'm not the same.

00:46:04.000 Still ain't forgot what we could have had.

00:46:10.000 Maybe if I chill, none of me.

00:46:14.000 This is America first.

00:46:18.000 I was born in America.

00:46:20.000 This is the only country I've ever known.

00:46:24.000 And I will die for America.

00:46:26.000 Can you say the same? 1.00

00:46:40.000 Yeah, fuck what you heard of me I know that you heard of me No, I can't fuck with you No, I can't rock with you No, no, I can't talk to you That was on my body when I walked through the city lights on We paved the way with our corpses. 1.00

00:47:05.000 Groypers and all the alt-riders that got banned All the alt-riders that got slandered Even people that killed themselves Our corpses paved the way for you now to walk over. 1.00

00:47:17.000 And you can't give us acknowledgement.

00:47:19.000 Now you want to slam the door on us.

00:47:21.000 It's not right.

00:47:23.000 That's not right.

00:49:21.000 Alantir, analytics company.

00:49:26.000 They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.

00:49:33.000 If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.

00:49:51.000 Comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.

00:50:00.000 That's what they are.

00:50:01.000 And so many of the people that worked with Elon that came into the government through Doge worked with Palantir.

00:50:08.000 Now that Doge is finished, Palantir seems to be just getting started.

00:57:17.000 I just wanted you to.

00:57:19.000 I be Puerto Rican Day Parade floating.

00:57:22.000 That Ben's Marina Del Rey coasting. 0.99

00:57:25.000 She in school to be your real estate agent.

00:57:28.000 Last month I helped her with the car payment.

00:57:30.000 Young and we alive.

00:57:32.000 We never gonna die.

00:57:36.000 I just copped a jet to fly over personal debt.

00:57:38.000 Put one up in the sky.

00:57:39.000 I just wanted you to.

00:57:41.000 Come on. 0.98

00:57:42.000 Hey!

00:57:52.000 The United States military began major combat operations in Iran. 0.94

00:57:58.000 To consign the American empire to destruction while they look forward to a golden age, while they look forward to a century of empire and domination. 0.92

00:58:08.000 Maybe we can't stop it, but I'm not going along with it.

00:58:11.000 I want things to be beautiful.

00:58:16.000 Immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen.

00:58:21.000 And sadly, there will likely be more.

00:58:35.000 This would be the third time that Israel has threatened to use nukes to force the United States to help them. 0.73

00:58:43.000 The first time was in 1973.

00:58:46.000 When Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack on Israel, which started the Yom Kippur War on October 6th, 1973, almost 50 years exactly before October 7th, Israel was almost overrun.

00:58:59.000 And the United States was reluctant to provide them with the military support that they needed to defend themselves.

00:59:05.000 So, the prime minister of Israel, Golda Meir, called up Nixon and said, If you don't help us, we will nuke Syria and Egypt.

00:59:14.000 We will use our nuclear arsenal.

00:59:16.000 We will nuke the Middle East. 1.00

00:59:19.000 And you want to know what happened next? 0.99

00:59:21.000 The largest airlift by tonnage of military equipment in the history of the earth. 0.54

00:59:28.000 Everything that Israel needed to defend themselves. 0.81

00:59:31.000 The next day, there's a word for that. 0.79

00:59:33.000 It's called nuclear blackmail. 1.00

00:59:35.000 These people are maniacs. 0.99

00:59:37.000 This is your closest ally. 0.98

00:59:39.000 And for people that say, You know, what does it matter?

00:59:41.000 What does it matter what Israel is doing? 0.74

00:59:43.000 This is why it matters. 0.91

00:59:48.000 We're like the SWAT team of Free Thought, and I go in with this battle ram in the door, and then they come in with these laser beams and have that information. 0.94

01:02:24.000 Sometimes it's too hard to sit. 0.89

01:03:03.000 The line himself would learn to The line would not care if his line died The line would not care if his line died the lion himself would accept such a deal.

01:03:23.000 And they have to change right now.

01:03:28.000 It was only to themselves they had lied.

01:03:32.000 I am your voice.

01:03:36.000 Can't tell

01:04:53.000 him who to interview.

01:04:54.000 I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don't know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out.

01:05:00.000 Let him, you know, people have to decide.

01:05:02.000 Ultimately, people have to decide.

01:13:42.000 When is the last time you did something that you had never done before?

01:13:45.000 Now, that's a good question.

01:13:47.000 What is the last thing I did that I never did before?

01:13:50.000 Oh, wow.

01:13:51.000 I don't know.

01:13:52.000 I don't know.

01:13:53.000 I do the same thing all the time.

01:13:56.000 You're raised by your parents.

01:13:57.000 You go to school.

01:13:58.000 You finish school.

01:13:59.000 Then you move into an apartment as a single man or woman.

01:14:02.000 You go to work. 0.52

01:14:03.000 That's your life.

01:14:04.000 And honestly, any girl would be lucky as hell to be with you.

01:14:06.000 You are unique.

01:14:07.000 You have many amazing qualities.

01:14:08.000 Feel good to be you.

01:14:09.000 I don't.

01:14:10.000 She'll never love me.

01:14:11.000 It's okay.

01:14:12.000 She'll never love me.

01:14:14.000 She doesn't care.

01:14:15.000 As soon as I am.

01:14:17.000 Every other day, I'm wondering, what's a human being gotta be like?

01:14:25.000 What's a way to just be calm?

01:14:28.000 You see, this is the second word of my life.

01:14:33.000 Oh, is that an acquaintance?

01:14:35.000 Oh, can you give it as a Desmond?

01:14:38.000 No, I don't got it.

01:14:40.000 Oh, you don't got it.

01:14:41.000 Appreciate it.

01:14:59.000 That's what great powers do.

01:15:01.000 That's what they've always done.

01:15:02.000 That's what they always will do.

01:15:03.000 So it's totally fair for us to recognize that the countries around Russia, no, we shouldn't be invading or torturing them or oppressing them.

01:15:09.000 Of course.

01:15:11.000 That's their sphere.

01:15:12.000 And big picture, holy smokes, you do not want the two largest powers in the world, apart from the United States, to get together and align against us.

01:15:21.000 Why do you support Israel against Hamas, for example?

01:15:25.000 Why do you support America giving them billions of dollars?

01:15:28.000 Well, I don't.

01:15:29.000 You don't support Israel being supported by America?

01:15:32.000 I support Israel in the sense that I really like Israel.

01:15:35.000 I brought my family on vacation to Israel.

01:15:36.000 But do you agree with America supplying them with a lot of arms?

01:15:39.000 To the extent that it helps the United States, I'm for it, of course.

01:15:45.000 I think what we need is.

01:15:45.000 So you do believe in America interfering in countries a long way away.

01:15:49.000 It just depends which country.

01:15:52.000 No.

01:15:53.000 Your principle doesn't really apply in Israel.

01:15:55.000 I'll articulate it for the third time, just to be totally clear.

01:15:59.000 I don't hate Israel.

01:16:02.000 Europeans do not behave like this. 1.00

01:16:05.000 This is Jewish behavior. 1.00

01:16:19.000 It is costing us everything. 1.00

01:16:22.000 And I hope you realize that. 1.00

01:16:24.000 You know, these ethnic enclaves are just going to grow bigger and bigger and bigger until there's nothing left. 1.00

01:16:33.000 Don't you see that? 1.00

01:16:35.000 I'm sorry, sweetie, please don't go.

01:16:42.000 London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, it's all gone.

01:16:51.000 It's all lost.

01:16:53.000 It's over.

01:16:55.000 Everything you love the stories, the holidays, the seasons, the culture, the food.

01:17:04.000 Us.

01:17:10.000 I don't know.

01:17:10.000 What is it worth to you?

01:17:24.000 The courageous fallen, the anguished fallen, their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them.

01:17:31.000 And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us.

01:17:37.000 Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world.

01:17:43.000 My soldiers push forward.

01:17:45.000 My soldiers scream out.

01:17:47.000 My soldiers rage. 0.99

01:17:49.000 Can't see a damn thing, fake. 0.99

01:17:54.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:17:56.000 They like Stevie.

01:18:00.000 They can't see me.

01:18:02.000 They won't be me.

01:18:04.000 I'm in that guinea.

01:24:43.000 When I get home, I want you.

01:24:47.000 Hello, I got places to be.

01:25:16.000 The last

01:26:27.000 thing I'm going to say about it, because I don't want to crash out again for, you know, 100 minutes, like I did the other day, but. 1.00

01:26:39.000 You're a bitch. 1.00

01:26:40.000 She's a bitch. 1.00

01:26:41.000 You're a couple of bitches. 1.00

01:26:43.000 You and your wife and your whole family are bitches. 1.00

01:26:52.000 Now everybody's happy. 1.00

01:27:06.000 You know, he's got those, those like fake, you know.

01:27:15.000 Anyway, so that's that.

01:27:16.000 But I want to move on.

01:27:17.000 We're going to move on and get into the news.

01:27:33.000 Our feature story, we're going to talk about trade.

01:27:37.000 And this isn't.

01:27:39.000 We can't be held hostage by this country forever.

01:27:43.000 When will it end?

01:27:45.000 When will any leader put their foot down and reassert American sovereignty? 0.74

01:27:50.000 Do we run the world or does Israel?

01:27:52.000 Do we even run our own country? 0.62

01:27:54.000 Do we control our own military? 0.66

01:27:55.000 Do we control our own government or does Israel? 0.79

01:28:10.000 race 0.75

01:28:18.000 so what do you do with your life the voice be much more comfortable if you were number two

01:28:48.000 I see.

01:28:51.000 Sorry, but I. In the market May I say your life?

01:29:11.000 How can you call it a movement when you have no motion?

01:30:08.000 right now.

01:30:09.000 During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.

01:31:21.000 To all

01:32:02.000 real Americans.

01:32:04.000 If you want to take your country back, you have to stand up and take your own side.

01:32:13.000 It's all coming down to this. 1.00

01:32:15.000 In 2026, in the midterms, we are showing up and the Gripers are showing up with us. 1.00

01:37:53.000 Good evening, everybody. 0.99

01:37:54.000 You're watching America First.

01:37:56.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

01:37:57.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

01:37:59.000 Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Tuesday.

01:38:02.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight.

01:38:04.000 Lots to get into.

01:38:05.000 Big show.

01:38:07.000 A little bit later than I said I was going to be.

01:38:10.000 I said 9 30.

01:38:12.000 We're going to get it down to 9 30.

01:38:14.000 We're going to get it there.

01:38:14.000 I promise.

01:38:17.000 We got a big show tonight.

01:38:18.000 Our featured story, we're going to be talking all about the war in Iran.

01:38:23.000 Are you ready?

01:38:24.000 Excited?

01:38:25.000 Yes, another show about the war in Iran.

01:38:28.000 Day 137.

01:38:31.000 Day 137 of the war, which is now officially resumed.

01:38:38.000 And the big news this weekend is that the memorandum of understanding or the temporary peace deal has now formally collapsed.

01:38:47.000 Technically speaking, it never went into effect.

01:38:50.000 We never had it.

01:38:52.000 It was signed almost four weeks ago.

01:38:54.000 Tomorrow, it would have been four weeks.

01:38:57.000 Since the signing of the MOU, it was never implemented.

01:39:01.000 It never went into effect.

01:39:03.000 And almost immediately, there were accusations of violations on both sides.

01:39:07.000 It was unclear what any of it really meant in effect.

01:39:12.000 We had 14 points.

01:39:14.000 It was not detailed enough, it was not specific enough.

01:39:17.000 But as of this weekend, now both sides say that officially they're no longer participating in the agreement.

01:39:24.000 Iran has pulled out, the United States has pulled out, and the bombing has resumed.

01:39:28.000 The big news from the past three or four days.

01:39:32.000 MOU has collapsed.

01:39:34.000 Iran has reclosed the Strait of Hormuz.

01:39:37.000 The United States has reimposed its blockade of the Strait, and intensive bombing has resumed on both sides.

01:39:45.000 Iran is bombing shipping in the Strait.

01:39:47.000 We, in turn, are bombing Iran's southwestern coast for the most part.

01:39:53.000 And now Iran is launching missiles and drones and other projectiles at almost every Gulf country Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, even Oman. 0.77

01:40:05.000 Was hit by Iran, which was a bit of a surprise.

01:40:08.000 Iran is also attacking bases in Jordan and Kuwait as well.

01:40:12.000 So you could say the war is fully back on.

01:40:15.000 And to that end, Trump has informed Congress as of July 7th, I believe, that we are officially in the war again.

01:40:24.000 So the war is back.

01:40:25.000 We're in a war.

01:40:26.000 And this time there's no end in sight.

01:40:28.000 Where this is going, Trump said in an interview with Fox News today that if Iran does not come back to the table, And negotiate about opening up the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program, then we are, in fact, going to begin bombing their civilian infrastructure, including bridges, transportation infrastructure, and maybe most importantly, the electrical infrastructure and their energy sector.

01:40:55.000 So we're talking bridges, airports, highways.

01:40:58.000 We're also talking power plants, and then ultimately, oil refineries, oil and gas fields inside of Iran, in the center of Iran.

01:41:07.000 And he says that will happen next week if there's no negotiation.

01:41:11.000 So it's back.

01:41:12.000 We're in the war.

01:41:13.000 The other thing we're going to talk about related to all this, there's a couple of other things which I want to highlight that not a lot of people are talking about.

01:41:21.000 And the first, aside from all that, is that the war has not only resumed, but it is also widening.

01:41:28.000 There is now a third front opening up in the conflict.

01:41:31.000 Right now, you have two fronts.

01:41:34.000 You have the front in the Persian Gulf, and it is over the Persian Gulf where the fighting is happening.

01:41:40.000 Iran is launching missiles at shipping in the Strait, and they're launching missiles at the Gulf countries on the western side of the Gulf.

01:41:49.000 The United States, from its position in the Gulf of Oman, south of the Strait and the Peninsula, is doing airstrikes on Iran. 0.71

01:41:56.000 That is front number one. 0.98

01:41:57.000 That's obviously the most important front in the war. 0.76

01:42:00.000 Front number two is Israel's occupation of Lebanon. 0.62

01:42:04.000 Israel has invaded southern Lebanon, is bombing southern Lebanon, and sometimes central Lebanon.

01:42:10.000 And that, of course, is the poison pill which sabotaged the MOU.

01:42:15.000 That Israel would not implement the ceasefire in this second front in the larger and wider war.

01:42:22.000 Now, the third front that is opening up is between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

01:42:27.000 Over the weekend, an Iranian plane attempted to land at the Houthi controlled Yemeni capital airport in Sana'a.

01:42:36.000 Why is this a problem?

01:42:37.000 Because it signals that Iran may be resupplying the Houthis with potentially rockets, drones, and missiles in a bid to supply the Houthis with the means to shut down shipping in the Red Sea, in the Bab el Mandeb Strait.

01:42:52.000 Which is on the opposite side of the peninsula as the Persian Gulf.

01:42:57.000 So, in an attempt to prevent that plane from landing, Saudi Arabia launched an airstrike on this airport, and they're now implementing a shutdown.

01:43:06.000 They've shut down the airspace over Yemen to prevent Iran from establishing an air bridge with Yemen to shut down that opposite strait in the Red Sea.

01:43:16.000 Well, now the Houthis are launching rocket attacks on Saudi Arabia at a Saudi civilian airport and a Saudi airbase.

01:43:25.000 Now, those projectiles were shot down, but this is the first time, I think, since 2021 or 2022, when the Saudis and the Houthis were officially in a conflict and were fighting each other.

01:43:37.000 So, this is now opening up a third front in the conflict.

01:43:41.000 You got the Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait, you got the invasion in Lebanon, and you have the potential closure of the Bab el Mandeb and a low boil conflict between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

01:43:51.000 So, we'll talk about that.

01:43:53.000 And then finally, where is JD Vance in all this?

01:43:58.000 This is the domestic angle, which we talked a little bit about at the beginning of the war.

01:44:02.000 This Iran war is an albatross around the Republicans, Trump, Vance, in the midterms in the 2028 election.

01:44:10.000 This war is such a catastrophic failure because it is a strategic defeat, because it's leading to an energy crunch, which leads to inflation, which leads to an economic collapse, a recession.

01:44:24.000 It is going to hurt the Republicans that were involved.

01:44:26.000 And that's Trump, that's Senate Republicans, that's JD Vance.

01:44:31.000 Vance knows that if he wants to stand any chance at winning the nomination or the general in 28, he is going to have to explain himself.

01:44:40.000 What role did you play in the war?

01:44:43.000 Did you try to prevent it?

01:44:44.000 Did you try to talk Trump out of it?

01:44:47.000 Were you in favor of it from the very beginning?

01:44:50.000 And if not, when did you get off the train?

01:44:53.000 When did you decide it was a mistake?

01:44:56.000 And if you've been following this so called peace process, the diplomacy, If you've been paying attention, JD Vance has thrown himself in front of the diplomatic process.

01:45:08.000 He is the one that, for example, was supposed to lead the delegation in Islamabad, and he led the delegation in Switzerland, and he returned to Qatar a week after that.

01:45:19.000 Because I'm sure he thinks, and the people in his camp think, that maybe there's no excuse for not talking Trump out of the war.

01:45:27.000 That's not really going to work.

01:45:30.000 But if he can receive the credit for ending the war, Then maybe the voters will be more understanding.

01:45:37.000 Maybe then he'll be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

01:45:41.000 Maybe he'll be able to take credit for solving the catastrophe, even if he wasn't able to prevent it. 0.71

01:45:47.000 Well, now that this MOU has collapsed, he may be the biggest loser in all of it, more than Israel, more than Iran, more than the Gulf countries, more than Trump, more than even the United States.

01:45:57.000 Vance may be the biggest loser in this development out of everybody because, assuredly, he will, politically speaking, he will hang because the MOU fell apart in the way that it did.

01:46:09.000 And if the war doesn't end soon, it's going to be catastrophic, not just for the country, but also then for his political prospects in 27 and 28.

01:46:16.000 So, we'll talk about all that.

01:46:18.000 It's a lot of ground to cover, a lot of moving pieces, a lot of different developments, and it keeps getting more complicated, which I like.

01:46:25.000 But we're going to cover all that.

01:46:27.000 It's going to be another one of these geopolitics shows.

01:46:31.000 It's getting exciting again.

01:46:33.000 It's getting really bad.

01:46:35.000 It's getting really bad and really disturbing, but it's also getting really exciting and really interesting.

01:46:41.000 So, we're going to work through all that.

01:46:43.000 If we have time, we're also going to talk about hey, if you're not.

01:46:47.000 Feeling bad enough about the war.

01:46:50.000 There's another big story today that ICE is no longer going to carry out traffic stops anymore.

01:46:58.000 ICE has apparently killed two more people in their traffic stops.

01:47:03.000 They try to apprehend illegal immigrants, they stop them in their vehicles.

01:47:06.000 The illegals flee, they open fire, they kill the guy.

01:47:09.000 This happened in Houston, Texas, it happened in Maine.

01:47:13.000 And so now, at the behest of Susan Collins, the worst Republican in the Senate, Now, ICE says they're not going to do traffic stops anymore.

01:47:23.000 Got all that?

01:47:25.000 So, ICE has body cameras.

01:47:27.000 They're not doing raids in people's houses.

01:47:30.000 They're not doing patrols in the streets.

01:47:32.000 They're not surging personnel to the major cities.

01:47:35.000 Now, they're not even going to do traffic stops.

01:47:38.000 So, where are they actually going to pick up the illegals then? 0.83

01:47:42.000 If you can't get the illegals at the job sites, at their houses, in their cars, if you can't pick them up on the street when you're doing patrols, where are you going to get them? 0.97

01:47:53.000 How are you going to get them? 1.00

01:47:56.000 The answer is you're not.

01:47:58.000 You're not.

01:47:59.000 ICE is not going to be deporting massive amounts of illegals anytime soon.

01:48:03.000 And as a matter of fact, they're only constraining themselves more all the time.

01:48:08.000 It's July 2026.

01:48:09.000 We're thoroughly into the second term, nearing the halfway point, allocated $150 billion overall for DHS and border security.

01:48:19.000 And they bought the warehouses, they hired the personnel, they trained up the existing personnel, they have an executive order regime, they've done all these things.

01:48:27.000 And now it's just simply a lack of willingness.

01:48:31.000 Before they made these arguments well, we don't have the money, we don't have the infrastructure, we don't have warehouses and detention space, we don't have the personnel.

01:48:41.000 The personnel we have don't have the training, all these excuses.

01:48:45.000 Now you have all of that and more.

01:48:47.000 All the money you could ask for, so many warehouses, they're selling half of them, 10,000 additional personnel, they're trained up, legal regimes in place.

01:48:58.000 It just passed in the Supreme Court. 1.00

01:48:59.000 We're able to keep illegals on the other side of the border. 1.00

01:49:02.000 It's better than ever in terms of resources. 0.98

01:49:06.000 They just won't now.

01:49:07.000 They just won't do it.

01:49:09.000 And case in point, now they won't even pull them over at a traffic stop because too many of them are running away and getting shot and killed.

01:49:16.000 So if we have time, we'll get into that.

01:49:17.000 I'm not sure that we will.

01:51:11.000 We don't want him.

01:51:13.000 You can have him.

01:51:14.000 He was in Saudi Arabia.

01:51:16.000 I'm like, bro, stay. 1.00

01:51:19.000 We don't want you here.

01:51:20.000 You love Saudi Arabia so much. 0.99

01:51:22.000 Go home. 1.00

01:51:23.000 Stay there.

01:51:26.000 It's so funny.

01:51:27.000 Sneeko goes to Saudi Arabia and he goes, Well, if you want me to leave the country so bad, I'll do it if Aiden Ross refunds all the gambling addicts in America.

01:51:40.000 He goes, I'll leave the country, but Elon Musk has to debate me.

01:51:46.000 What's with the conditions?

01:51:48.000 I'm sorry, what's with the qualifications? 1.00

01:51:52.000 If Islam is so superior, if they just do it right, In Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, all these other countries, why do we need to make it? 1.00

01:52:01.000 Why is it, let's make a deal? 1.00

01:52:03.000 Why is it deal or no deal? 1.00

01:52:05.000 Okay, I'll go back to these Muslim countries if you refund every gambling addict in America. 1.00

01:52:11.000 I thought Islam was better. 1.00

01:52:13.000 Shouldn't you want to live there? 1.00

01:52:17.000 Don't you see? 1.00

01:52:18.000 In order for these fucking brown clowns to ever even consider leaving the rich and glorious United States of America, they want to make a deal. 1.00

01:52:30.000 Okay, okay, I'll leave America, but first, ain't no but first. 1.00

01:52:35.000 The only but first is goats and camels in the desert, mudslime, okay?

01:52:41.000 It ain't no but first, we gotta do this.

01:52:43.000 First, we gotta do that.

01:52:45.000 If you love it so much, go there.

01:52:49.000 That's the difference.

01:52:50.000 I'm in my country, I'm in my homeland.

01:52:53.000 This is the United States of America.

01:52:55.000 This is the greatest country in the world.

01:52:57.000 My ancestors built this city, Chicago.

01:53:01.000 I'm home.

01:53:02.000 I love it.

01:53:03.000 The difference is you hate this country.

01:53:05.000 You disrespect this country.

01:53:07.000 All you do is glaze every other country that you would never live in. 1.00

01:53:11.000 You would never, we would have to drag you out of here by your fucking nightgown. 1.00

01:53:17.000 We would have to drag your sorry black ass out of this country by your fucking dress, by your nightgown, screaming and crying all the way about the kids in Gaza and Morocco and whatever. 1.00

01:53:29.000 Because you know we're better. 1.00

01:53:33.000 We're smarter.

01:53:33.000 We're stronger.

01:53:35.000 We're better.

01:53:36.000 We are better.

01:53:39.000 Just go home then.

01:53:40.000 Go home with these monkeys brushing their teeth with sticks and the rest of it. 1.00

01:53:48.000 Anyway, two words deport Sneeko, bring it forth. 0.96

01:53:55.000 Donald Trump, if you can hear me.

01:53:58.000 Trump, if you could.

01:53:59.000 Laura Loomer, if you can hear me. 0.99

01:54:01.000 Elon Musk, deport Sneeko.

01:54:03.000 We got that one.

01:54:05.000 We have, see, I like these.

01:54:07.000 These are basics.

01:54:07.000 This is just a black AF t shirt, high quality.

01:54:10.000 Just says AF.

01:54:13.000 This is one of my favorites.

01:54:14.000 This is a bubble.

01:54:16.000 I think it's called Bubble Print or something.

01:54:19.000 So you got that.

01:54:20.000 It's like a basic shirt.

01:54:22.000 You've seen this one?

01:54:23.000 We have it in white and blue.

01:54:26.000 AF Vision, it says on the back.

01:54:31.000 New World Order, same thing as yesterday, just in white.

01:54:34.000 And then Arch of Titus. 1.00

01:54:37.000 The Jews are.

01:54:38.000 There was an article about this shirt. 0.92

01:54:40.000 There was an article about this shirt, I think, in JNet.

01:54:44.000 One of these Jewish Israeli papers, they said, Nick Fuentes is selling a t shirt depicting the Arch of Titus relief.

01:54:53.000 They're not happy about it.

01:54:55.000 That's why you got to get it.

01:54:56.000 You got to let them know.

01:54:58.000 Got to tell them. 0.86

01:54:58.000 We took your menorah. 0.86

01:55:00.000 Haha, we got your menorah, bro. 1.00

01:55:03.000 Stole that shit. 1.00

01:55:04.000 We got your menorah, pal. 1.00

01:55:06.000 Don't let them forget it.

01:55:07.000 We got that.

01:55:09.000 And we'd see, there it is.

01:55:10.000 We got it.

01:55:12.000 That's all it's in the Vatican now.

01:55:14.000 Belongs to Rome. 0.58

01:55:15.000 Sorry, belongs to Jacob. 1.00

01:55:18.000 The descendants of Jacob.

01:55:19.000 And we have the America First Polo in white.

01:55:22.000 This one's really, I think this is the winner.

01:55:26.000 Polo in white with the America First shield from the original America First Committee.

01:55:31.000 Similar to that logo.

01:55:33.000 That's great for summer.

01:55:35.000 And then we also have some shorts.

01:55:36.000 We got them in red as well.

01:55:37.000 Whoops.

01:55:40.000 These are great for the gym.

01:55:43.000 Are you kidding me?

01:55:44.000 Flag on the side, USA.

01:55:46.000 Look, these are really nice.

01:55:50.000 So, check it out.

01:55:51.000 All right, that's Fuentes.store.

01:55:54.000 If you want to support the show, America First.plus, 100 bucks a month, group chat, et cetera.

01:55:59.000 Okay, enough shilling, enough shilling the products.

01:56:02.000 We have to get into the show because there's a lot of ground to cover.

01:56:06.000 That bit about Sneeko is so good.

01:56:08.000 We got to clip that up. 1.00

01:56:10.000 I wish I wasn't holding the shirt when I said it, but it's so true, right? 1.00

01:56:15.000 You got to tell these brown clowns, America's the greatest country in the world. 1.00

01:56:19.000 You're in our world. 1.00

01:56:21.000 This is our world.

01:56:22.000 You're just living in it.

01:56:24.000 Don't let him forget.

01:56:26.000 He wants to LARP like Malcolm X.

01:56:29.000 It's our world.

01:56:30.000 You're just living in it. 1.00

01:56:32.000 This is a Christian, white, American world. 1.00

01:56:36.000 We invented everything, we created everything. 1.00

01:56:39.000 You're just living in it.

01:56:41.000 And they know that, but remind them.

01:56:42.000 All right.

01:56:43.000 We're going to move on.

01:56:44.000 We're going to get into our big story tonight, which is all about the war in Iran, which is back on. 0.76

01:56:50.000 Make no mistake about it, we are officially back in the war. 0.99

01:56:54.000 And I told you this was going to happen.

01:56:57.000 I told you from the time the first ceasefire was announced back in April that it was inevitable that we were going back to war.

01:57:04.000 I said, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

01:57:07.000 I said, on a long enough timeline, this war is coming back in a big way. 0.94

01:57:12.000 And I was 100% correct.

01:57:14.000 Now, the big developments from this weekend, we're going to go through the timeline just since Friday.

01:57:21.000 The memorandum of understanding has collapsed.

01:57:24.000 The U.S. has resumed bombing heavily Iran, mostly on their southwestern coast bordering the Persian Gulf.

01:57:34.000 Iran has reclosed the Strait of Hormuz.

01:57:36.000 The United States has reimposed its blockade of the strait on our side from the Gulf of Oman.

01:57:43.000 In retaliation, Iran has resumed its missile attacks against the GCC countries.

01:57:49.000 And now Trump is threatening that next week we're going to escalate and begin bombing Iran's electrical infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, and their energy sector, their oil and gas refineries, oil and gas fields, maybe even Karg Island as well, which is where they handle all the actual exporting, where they unload it onto the ships.

01:58:09.000 So, These are some of the major developments.

01:58:13.000 I want to talk a little bit about the timeline here.

01:58:16.000 First, we'll read this article from the New York Times.

01:58:18.000 Then we'll back it up.

01:58:19.000 We'll explain the timeline a little bit.

01:58:21.000 And then we'll talk about where this is going.

01:58:23.000 So, this is from the Times talking about the resumption of the war.

01:58:26.000 It says, quote, President Trump on Tuesday reassumed a belligerent posture toward Iran that echoed a stance at the war's outset, threatening to destroy civilian infrastructure and refusing to rule out a ground invasion.

01:58:40.000 Mr. Trump told Fox News that the U.S. military. Would continue to strike Iran very hard until Iran agreed to negotiate.

01:58:47.000 Mr. Trump's comments came hours after he walked back a plan he had announced on Monday to charge fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz in return for providing security.

01:58:58.000 But he pushed ahead with a naval blockade of Iranian ports that the military said began at 4 p.m. Eastern Time today.

01:59:06.000 U.S. forces carried out new rounds of attacks on Iran throughout Tuesday and into Wednesday and a return to the kind of intensive bombing campaign that characterized the start of the war more than four months ago.

01:59:17.000 137 days in.

01:59:19.000 In the Fox interview, Mr. Trump suggested that the U.S. military would strike targets, including bridges and power plants.

01:59:26.000 He also again refused to rule out deploying ground troops, saying sometimes you need a ground campaign, but that you have other people that would do the ground campaign for us.

01:59:38.000 And presumably, that could only mean two things either that means the Kurds, who are in northern Iraq, that would cross over the border, andor it could also include the Gulf countries like the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

01:59:52.000 Article goes on.

01:59:53.000 It says oil prices soared after the latest strikes by American and Iranian forces, one of the biggest daily jumps since the start of the war.

02:00:00.000 The number of vessels transiting the waterway also plummeted.

02:00:04.000 Later in the day, Iranian state media said American forces had fired on Keshem Island, the site of strategic military installations.

02:00:12.000 U.S. military confirmed carrying out strikes both early and later in the day, but did not specify targets.

02:00:17.000 The Iranian military said it had launched strikes at U.S. military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.

02:00:23.000 Officials from all three countries said the attacks were being intercepted.

02:00:27.000 Okay.

02:00:29.000 So let's talk about the MOU and why it collapsed and how it collapsed.

02:00:34.000 So, like I said, tomorrow, Wednesday, will be four weeks since the MOU was signed.

02:00:41.000 And we talked extensively about the MOU.

02:00:43.000 And what it sought to do was establish a short term truce that would do two things end hostilities immediately and open up the Strait of Hormuz to shipping on both sides.

02:00:54.000 And when I say both sides, I mean that Iran will cease its drone and missile strikes on outgoing shipping.

02:01:01.000 So that's tankers carrying oil from the GCC nations out into the Indian Ocean and to the world.

02:01:09.000 And then on the other side, the United States will lift its blockade of Iranian ports, inbound and outbound, of all goods.

02:01:20.000 Iran has ports on the Persian Gulf, they have an export import based economy, and the United States was using its navy.

02:01:28.000 To attack any ships destined for Iran or leaving from Iran out through the strait.

02:01:33.000 So, those are the two things that the ceasefire does.

02:01:37.000 It ends the hostilities, it opens the strait, and it paves the way for a 60 day period to negotiate the root causes of the conflict, which is Iran's nuclear program and the sanctions regime against Iran because of their nuclear program.

02:01:51.000 Now, as we discussed for weeks, the reason the MOU failed is because of some discrepancies in how we understand both of those items.

02:02:03.000 Iran insisted that the ceasefire extend to Lebanon.

02:02:06.000 But the United States was not prosecuting the war in Lebanon. 0.79

02:02:09.000 Israel was.

02:02:11.000 Israel was not a signatory on the deal, not a party to it, wasn't part of the process, and they refused to implement it.

02:02:19.000 So the ceasefire made expectations of Israel that Israel never agreed to.

02:02:26.000 So when we said we're ending all hostilities, Iran said, well, what about Lebanon?

02:02:30.000 And Israel said, what about Lebanon?

02:02:32.000 We're not done there.

02:02:34.000 So that's one serious reason it failed.

02:02:37.000 Iran, from the very beginning, Accused us of being in breach of the deal because we were unable or unwilling to compel Israel to participate in this ceasefire.

02:02:49.000 Number two, concerning the Strait of Hormuz, the provision inside the MOU governing the Strait was unfortunately not specific enough.

02:02:58.000 It said that Iran and Oman would jointly govern the Strait with consultation of the other Gulf countries.

02:03:09.000 That would be implemented and what exactly that entailed.

02:03:12.000 And really, the real reason this thing fell apart is that Iran began to insist that what the MOU meant is that they would formally and legally and officially control the strait in perpetuity.

02:03:25.000 They believed that this MOU gave them license to effectively annex the strait, and any commercial ship transiting the strait would thus need Iran's permission to go through.

02:03:39.000 The reason the United States can't stand for this is because if Iran owns it and if commercial shipping can't go through without Iran's permission, eventually Iran might say, you need to pay them to get permission and they can establish a toll system.

02:03:54.000 And so maybe not during the life of this deal, but once the deal is completed, if Iran has this exclusive right with Oman to control the strait, then eventually they're going to be able to exercise a legal right to determine which ships go in and out, which is problematic in and of itself.

02:04:12.000 But also, they could make it conditioned upon paying a toll to Tehran.

02:04:17.000 And so these were the real reasons the MOU collapsed.

02:04:20.000 A couple of weeks ago, Iran said, in order for any shipping to go through the strait, you need our permission.

02:04:28.000 In response to this, the United States began coordinating with Oman.

02:04:32.000 And Oman, for those that don't know, is the country on the southern side of the strait.

02:04:36.000 Iran is on the northern side of the strait, Oman is on the southern side.

02:04:42.000 The United States, Oman opened up a secondary route through the strait, which hugs their coast.

02:04:48.000 And whereas Iran was telling all these companies, you need our permission to go through, you need to tell us in advance, you need to give us all your information, wait for our permission, Oman said, we're open for business.

02:05:01.000 You can transit this separate route on our coast without Iran's permission, without paying money, without any conditions.

02:05:09.000 And so very soon, almost all the shipping started to go through this southern route. 0.66

02:05:13.000 For free without Iran's permission in a completely unmanaged and uncontrolled way. 0.78

02:05:18.000 Iran rightly perceived that as a threat to their negotiating leverage. 0.78

02:05:23.000 If there's a secondary route that Iran doesn't control, then that means that they cannot close the strait at will.

02:05:29.000 This undermines their leverage and their negotiating position. 0.80

02:05:33.000 Because, of course, how they're able to impose conditions on the United States is their threat to close the strait at any given time at their discretion. 0.60

02:05:42.000 So, Iran began launching drone and missile attacks against ships that tried to move through this southern route on the coast of Oman without their permission. 0.78

02:05:55.000 In response, the United States was bombing Iran.

02:05:58.000 This was the situation that precipitated the collapse of the MOU.

02:06:02.000 It was the secondary route opening up, and it was the Iranian leadership, the Council of Jurists, and the Supreme Leader that said, This cannot stand.

02:06:11.000 If we allow the second route to open up, we have no leverage and we don't control the strait, and that's strategically unacceptable.

02:06:18.000 So it came from the top.

02:06:19.000 The Supreme Leader, the jurists, and the IRGC all said, We authorize these drone strikes.

02:06:26.000 We need to shut down the strait.

02:06:28.000 Commercial shipping cannot move unless they get permission from us.

02:06:34.000 So on Friday, Trump gave an ultimatum to Iran.

02:06:38.000 Trump put out on True Social that if Iran did not allow shipping to go through this Omani shipping route, if they did not apologize for attacking shipping in the Strait, if they did not acknowledge that this was in breach of the MOU, and if they did not commit to opening up the Strait in the future without permission and for free, then the United States would resume the bombing campaign.

02:07:02.000 Well, on Saturday, we got our answer.

02:07:04.000 Iran launched another attack. 0.59

02:07:06.000 On shipping going through the Strait. 0.89

02:07:09.000 No apology, no acknowledgement that they were in breach of the agreement, no commitment to refrain from attacking shipping again.

02:07:16.000 As a matter of fact, they formally reclosed the Strait and resumed the attacks on shipping in that secondary route in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz.

02:07:26.000 So, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and tonight, the United States has been bombing Iran's southwestern coast.

02:07:34.000 We formally pulled out of the MOU.

02:07:36.000 And as of today, although it was announced yesterday, The United States has reimposed its blockade of the Strait.

02:07:43.000 And so, again, Iran has shut down the Strait now completely.

02:07:48.000 Nothing is allowed to go through the Strait.

02:07:49.000 If they attempt to, Iran is attacking this. 0.86

02:07:52.000 This is how they're enforcing their closure of the Strait. 0.83

02:07:55.000 And on our side, we're using our Navy in the Gulf of Oman, outside the Strait, to attack any Iranian linked shipping, any and all Iranian linked shipping, to close the Strait to any friendly commercial shipping that goes to or from Iran. 0.88

02:08:11.000 That's the status quo right now. 0.74

02:08:13.000 In response to our attacks on Iran's southwestern coast, now Iran is attacking all of the Gulf countries with drones and missiles.

02:08:22.000 They're launching drone and missile attacks against Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, as well as Jordan, specifically targeting U.S. military facilities.

02:08:33.000 So the U.S. Navy's fifth fleet is in Bahrain.

02:08:37.000 That is being attacked by Iran. 0.88

02:08:39.000 The United States has radar.

02:08:41.000 And other ISR infrastructure in the Gulf countries, bases in the Gulf countries, in Jordan, Iran is targeting all of that infrastructure.

02:08:50.000 Now we are formally in exactly the same state of war as we were before the original ceasefire in April, which is to say, very heavy, around the clock U.S. bombing of Iran, Iran launching drones and missiles at our infrastructure in all of the Gulf countries, and a Strait of Hormuz, which is officially closed on both sides.

02:09:12.000 We are in a state of war.

02:09:13.000 Let's talk about what is happening.

02:09:16.000 Next week, because there's some key developments today.

02:09:19.000 Trump said to Fox News that if Iran does not come back to the negotiating table and open up the strait and even begin to talk about nuclear concessions, Trump says that next week we're going to escalate the bombing against their civilian infrastructure.

02:09:35.000 Transportation infrastructure like bridges and airports, electrical infrastructure like power plants, and oil infrastructure, energy infrastructure, oil and gas fields, oil and gas refineries, Karg Island, where they export all the oil and gas.

02:09:51.000 He said, but that's going to happen next week if Iran doesn't negotiate right now.

02:09:56.000 He says, we're going to keep bombing tonight, tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that, which is the rest of this week.

02:10:02.000 He said, but next week is when it gets really bad.

02:10:04.000 So they better come to the table.

02:10:07.000 Now, I don't know if that's a serious threat.

02:10:09.000 In many ways, we're right back to square one because this is exactly the same pattern, which is we're bombing Iran, they're bombing the Gulf, they closed the strait, and Trump is threatening that if they don't give us key concessions, then we're going to escalate in a real way.

02:10:25.000 So far, we have avoided the civilian population and civilian infrastructure.

02:10:29.000 Trump has always used that as a bluff.

02:10:32.000 That's always been the threat to escalate.

02:10:34.000 How do we increase the pressure and leverage against Iran? 1.00

02:10:37.000 We go for their economy. 1.00

02:10:39.000 We choke and strangle their economy by shutting down those lifelines, which is transportation, electricity, and maybe most importantly, energy.

02:10:49.000 You take every one of those things or one of those things offline, and their economy collapses.

02:10:56.000 And not only does the economy collapse, But then it becomes impossible to rebuild.

02:11:02.000 You can't rebuild oil and gas infrastructure in a week, in a month, in a year.

02:11:08.000 That takes years to rebuild.

02:11:10.000 And the same goes for bridges, and the same goes for this other stuff.

02:11:13.000 It's more permanent, and it also has an effect on public order.

02:11:18.000 If you start destroying bridges and the actual money making sectors of Iran's economy, then pretty soon Iran struggles with its domestic security service.

02:11:30.000 To pay its police and military, to maintain civil order and control of the society, to respond potentially to uprisings or riots.

02:11:41.000 This is a gesture towards regime change. 0.80

02:11:44.000 We're at that point trying to collapse Iranian society so that the government will fall. 0.96

02:11:51.000 And it's a move towards this. 0.65

02:11:52.000 The reason that Trump has been reluctant to do this is because Iran then would reserve the right and the capability to retaliate in exactly the same way. 0.71

02:12:02.000 If we launch these attacks on Iran's civilian infrastructure, they can use their drones and missiles to do the same thing in all of the Gulf countries. 0.54

02:12:11.000 They can do this to Saudi Arabia, to their eastern province, their gas fields, or rather their oil fields. 0.73

02:12:18.000 They could do it to Qatar and destroy their LNG plants.

02:12:21.000 They could do it to the Emirates and destroy all the civilian infrastructure in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

02:12:27.000 And if this happens on both sides of the Persian Gulf, if both Iran's energy sector and all the Gulf countries' energy sectors are destroyed, Then this significantly diminishes the overall supply of energy in the world.

02:12:41.000 There'll be significantly less LNG, significantly less oil.

02:12:45.000 And so, this problem that we have right now is there's a temporary energy crunch.

02:12:51.000 That really explains the stakes here.

02:12:54.000 If we shut down the strait, and by we, I mean Iran and the United States, if they shut down the strait, those ships carrying oil are still there in the Gulf.

02:13:05.000 And the day that Iran opens up the strait, Those ships carrying that oil or that LNG can then just go through.

02:13:13.000 So, you could say that this is very temporary, and they're really just delaying the supply of oil and gas.

02:13:21.000 They may target a few ships, and all that does in the short term is it kills the confidence on the part of insurance companies and on the oil and gas companies that they'll be able to safely transit the strait.

02:13:32.000 And the overall cost is that a few ships are damaged.

02:13:36.000 It doesn't take many.

02:13:37.000 Maybe a handful of ships need to be hit with drones to incentivize other ships not to try to go through that strait.

02:13:46.000 But all that happens is that they're stuck.

02:13:48.000 The straight opens and they resume.

02:13:50.000 They go on their way.

02:13:51.000 And the supply of oil and gas overall is not permanently reduced, it's just delayed.

02:13:58.000 And it might cause some damage to the infrastructure.

02:14:00.000 I'm oversimplifying, but the point is that closing the straight is reversible.

02:14:06.000 And all it does is delay the supply of oil.

02:14:08.000 There's an interruption in the supply, which causes short term problems.

02:14:13.000 It causes a short term shortage, it puts pressure on Asian countries and other countries to unload their strategic reserves.

02:14:21.000 It temporarily increases prices and inflation, but the interruption surely will be over when the crisis is resolved.

02:14:29.000 Damaging the infrastructure is a different story because if Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iran, if their oil and gas infrastructure is destroyed, it will take five years to rebuild.

02:14:45.000 Notoriously, oil and gas is a very expensive enterprise.

02:14:49.000 And this infrastructure is very capital intensive.

02:14:52.000 It takes time to rebuild.

02:14:54.000 And once you're in an open war zone, it becomes very complicated.

02:14:58.000 You're going to need to give these companies reassurance that they will be secure, that their civilian crews are going to be safe.

02:15:06.000 And then they need to go in and convince investors and these companies to rebuild.

02:15:11.000 And then the actual rebuilding takes years, not weeks, months, but years, several years at the minimum, maybe five years, maybe 10 years.

02:15:20.000 And so, this means that the supply of energy is permanently reduced.

02:15:26.000 That's an altogether different story.

02:15:28.000 And this is why the United States has been reluctant to make this an energy war, because then we realize the problem becomes so much more severe.

02:15:36.000 It's not a question of resuming the supply of oil, ending this temporary interruption.

02:15:42.000 It becomes this huge problem of capital and construction, and then establishing a secure zone in these countries, both countries to rebuild.

02:15:52.000 It's very problematic.

02:15:54.000 So, If that's a real threat, you have to consider what that actually entails.

02:15:59.000 If Trump is going to be bombing civilian infrastructure in Iran next week, it's over for everybody.

02:16:04.000 So I'm not sure if that's a serious threat.

02:16:07.000 This is where we are.

02:16:09.000 I want to talk a little bit also about how this war is now expanding.

02:16:13.000 So this is the temporary state of things.

02:16:15.000 We're back in the war.

02:16:17.000 MOU has collapsed. 1.00

02:16:18.000 We're bombing Iran. 1.00

02:16:19.000 Real quick, one other thing.

02:16:22.000 Trump says that we may launch a ground attack on Iran.

02:16:27.000 What exactly does that look like?

02:16:29.000 As we've talked about, our first priority has become opening up the Strait of Hormuz. 0.69

02:16:35.000 At one time, it was securing Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile or destroying their centrifuges. 0.65

02:16:43.000 And then it was regime change.

02:16:45.000 But now that this war has gone on for over four months, now the main objective is opening up the Strait to get the oil flowing.

02:16:54.000 So, with this new objective in mind, what does a ground operation look like that Trump is talking about?

02:17:00.000 When Trump says other countries are going to be involved, who does he mean?

02:17:06.000 And when he says he won't rule out a ground operation, what does that look like?

02:17:09.000 What has been discussed up until this point is a ground operation on the islands in the Persian Gulf, a few in particular.

02:17:18.000 There's a few major islands in the Strait of Hormuz, and then there's Karg Island, which is further up northwest in the Persian Gulf.

02:17:27.000 If there's a ground operation, it will be to secure those islands in the Strait of Hormuz, because this is where Iran has its naval facilities, where they maintain their mining equipment.

02:17:37.000 And by mining, I mean naval based explosive mines, as well as their fleet.

02:17:42.000 Of smaller IRGC boats and drone and missile launch platforms.

02:17:48.000 So we would be going into the islands on the Strait of Hormuz to prevent the IRGC from mining the strait, from attacking vessels using small speed boats, and also to destroy the platforms from which drones and missiles are launched.

02:18:03.000 So it'd be an invasion of the islands.

02:18:05.000 And then further up northwest in the Persian Gulf, we'd be going after Karg Island. 0.96

02:18:10.000 This is where Iran pumps all of its oil out onto the container ships.

02:18:17.000 Iran's coast along the Persian Gulf, the water is too shallow for a heavy tanker, for a very large vessel to dock and to get the oil on board.

02:18:26.000 So they pump it out some distance from the coast onto the small island called Karg Island.

02:18:32.000 And there, the water's deep enough where a very large tanker can dock and get the oil. 0.50

02:18:37.000 So even though Iran's infrastructure is dispersed across the country, the chokehold, the choke point is this island. 0.90

02:18:45.000 And this is where we might. 0.77

02:18:47.000 Establish some kind of a beachhead, might put Marines there in conjunction with other countries to take control of the export of their energy resources.

02:18:56.000 Who would be involved?

02:18:57.000 More likely than not, it would be some combination of the Gulf countries.

02:19:02.000 When Trump says other countries would do it, he's talking about the UAE, most likely.

02:19:08.000 And maybe second most likely is Saudi Arabia.

02:19:11.000 In addition, there might be some kind of ground operation further inland with the Iraqi Kurds.

02:19:18.000 The U.S. and the Israelis have a major military and intelligence footprint in northern Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan, which is semi autonomous, is not fully controlled by the government in Baghdad, and it borders Iran.

02:19:33.000 And not only does it border Iran, but it borders Iranian Kurdistan.

02:19:38.000 And so this was talked about very early on when there were those uprisings back in January that maybe the U.S. and Israel would launch an operation with the Kurds in Iraq to cross over that border into Western Iran.

02:19:51.000 With the help of the Kurds that already live there, and they might try to attack military and government targets.

02:19:58.000 They might try to foment a larger rebellion in the country or maybe destroy other key military sites. 0.86

02:20:05.000 So, this is what the military operation might look like.

02:20:08.000 Now, Trump says he wouldn't rule out a ground operation.

02:20:11.000 He says specifically, but first, what we would need to do is push the Iranians back deeper into their country. 1.00

02:20:19.000 And what does that mean? 1.00

02:20:21.000 Right now, the U.S. air campaign is focused on the southwestern coast of Iran.

02:20:27.000 Why?

02:20:28.000 Right now, the U.S. military is lighting up not necessarily the capital, which is in the center of Iran, Tehran.

02:20:35.000 They're not lighting up every city in Iran.

02:20:38.000 They're focusing on the coast.

02:20:40.000 And they're focusing on the coast because of the range of the drones and missiles. 0.62

02:20:46.000 They don't have to destroy all of Iran's drone and missile production capabilities or launch sites or silos. 0.83

02:20:53.000 All they have to do is suppress enough of the drones and missiles on the coast that are within range of the Strait of Hormuz and Karg Island. 0.78

02:21:03.000 Because if they could push back all those drone and missile launch capabilities many kilometers inland in Iran, then they might not be within range of Karg Island.

02:21:15.000 They might not be within range of the islands in the Strait of Hormuz. 0.61

02:21:20.000 And even though Iran might have the ability to launch drones and missiles, they will not have the range to hit those targets. 0.66

02:21:27.000 And thus, it would make it safe and secure for the United States, in combination with the Gulf countries, to maybe invade those islands. 0.52

02:21:36.000 With protection in the air from American drones, Ospreys, helicopters, warthogs, and other U.S. Navy and Air Force assets. 0.56

02:21:45.000 That's the idea.

02:21:47.000 So, all of this rests again on the ability to control the Strait of Hormuz.

02:21:52.000 Iran will not let the United States open up a secondary route with Oman, so they're shutting down the Strait.

02:21:58.000 In retaliation, the United States is heavily bombing around the southwestern coast in the hopes that they might be able to get in on those islands.

02:22:08.000 And if they could establish some kind of air base there, if they could establish a runway, they could begin landing other assets on the islands, take control of the islands, you take control of the Strait. 0.95

02:22:21.000 And if we can control the Strait, if we can prevent drones and missiles from hitting ships there, then Iran loses all of its leverage. 0.89

02:22:27.000 And then we can impose conditions on the nuclear program and on the rest of their conduct. 0.90

02:22:33.000 That is right now the tug of war.

02:22:35.000 That's the push and pull.

02:22:37.000 Now, to that end, what is Iran's response? 0.67

02:22:41.000 Well, for a very long time, the specter that has loomed over this equation is the alternative route.

02:22:48.000 So, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.

02:22:50.000 Why is this a problem?

02:22:51.000 Because all the oil and gas is in the Persian Gulf and on the coasts.

02:22:56.000 That much is obvious.

02:22:58.000 But let's talk about the logistics.

02:23:00.000 The actual oil and gas is in the Persian Gulf and on the coasts of the Persian Gulf.

02:23:05.000 Thus, this is where all the infrastructure has been built, not just the infrastructure to harvest.

02:23:11.000 The oil and gas, but also to refine it and also to export it.

02:23:16.000 So, consequently, it is most economical for Saudi Arabia to get the oil from its eastern province, refine it on the coast, and export it from its coast in the Persian Gulf.

02:23:27.000 All the infrastructure is there.

02:23:29.000 It makes sense to make that a hub for where all the energy moves.

02:23:35.000 It's cheaper that way.

02:23:36.000 And this is why it's so complicated.

02:23:38.000 If the Strait of Hormuz is closed, all that oil is stuck, and it's stuck there because that's where all the infrastructure is.

02:23:45.000 But Saudi Arabia has anticipated that this might be a problem.

02:23:50.000 Saudi Arabia anticipated that there is a choke point that if Iran so chose to close the Strait of Hormuz, then all their oil, which is the lifeblood of their economy, would be stuck.

02:24:02.000 So Saudi Arabia began building a pipeline called the East West Pipeline, where they're going to take the oil from their eastern province and from the Gulf.

02:24:11.000 They're going to put it through a pipe that goes through the entire horizontal length of the country and they'll ship it out.

02:24:18.000 To its western coast on the Red Sea.

02:24:22.000 Because the Arabian Peninsula is bordered on the east by the Persian Gulf, on the west by the Red Sea, on the south by the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Gulf, the Omani Gulf.

02:24:33.000 And so there are two ways that Saudi Arabia can get its oil out to Asia either it goes through the Persian Gulf and through the Strait of Hormuz, or you can put it through a pipeline west overland to the Red Sea, and then it goes south through the Bab al Mandeb, which is like the Strait of Hormuz for the Red Sea.

02:24:52.000 And then out through the Indian Ocean to Asia.

02:24:55.000 And since the war started, Saudi Arabia for the first time began using this pipeline at 100% capacity.

02:25:03.000 As much oil as possible through this east west pipeline.

02:25:07.000 The United Arab Emirates has done the same thing.

02:25:09.000 They constructed the west east pipeline.

02:25:12.000 And they're taking the oil from inside the Persian Gulf and they're pumping it east through their country to the other side.

02:25:20.000 It bypasses the Strait of Hormuz from the south into the Gulf of Oman. 0.93

02:25:26.000 Now, in response to this development, the Iranians realize we have to up the pressure on the United States, Asia, and the Gulf countries. 0.80

02:25:35.000 The Iranians are allied with the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

02:25:39.000 The Houthi rebels control northern and western Yemen, which borders the Bab el Mandeb and the southern part of the Red Sea.

02:25:47.000 The Houthi rebels, like Hezbollah, like Iran, have a massive stockpile of drones and rockets. 0.71

02:25:53.000 And so the specter over all of this, this entire time, is this plan by the Houthi rebels.

02:25:59.000 Under pressure from Iran to also close the Bab el Mandeb.

02:26:05.000 And if that happens, then all of the maritime shipping through the Middle East is closed.

02:26:11.000 Nothing is moving through the Strait.

02:26:13.000 Nothing is moving through the Bab el Mandeb.

02:26:15.000 And what that means is not only is Saudi Arabia's oil then stuck in the Gulf and stuck in the Red Sea, but also probably all commercial shipping in the world that goes through the Red Sea, which is not even mostly energy, will also be stopped.

02:26:34.000 And so all of Europe's shipping that goes through the Red Sea to Asia will also be shut down.

02:26:40.000 And what will be the alternative route at that point?

02:26:42.000 They'll have to go all the way around the Cape of Good Hope.

02:26:44.000 They'll have to go all the way around the southern coast of Africa to get any of their shipping to Asia. 0.97

02:26:51.000 And Asia will have to do the same.

02:26:53.000 And what this does is it not only increases pressure on energy, because again, you're preventing even the little oil that Saudi Arabia has been getting out through the Red Sea.

02:27:03.000 But also, all this other commercial shipping is going to have increased transportation costs because the route has just gotten much longer.

02:27:11.000 As opposed to cutting through the Red Sea, now they got to go all the way around Africa, which costs a lot more money.

02:27:18.000 And so, if you had inflation problems before, energy shortage before, now the problem gets even more acute.

02:27:26.000 So, the other development from this weekend is that an Iranian plane from Iran landed in Sana'a, which is the Houthi controlled capital of Yemen, in Yemen's northwestern.

02:27:38.000 Coast.

02:27:40.000 Saudi Arabia prevented that plane from landing by bombing the Sana'a airport.

02:27:46.000 And the plane had to be diverted east to a different airport, also controlled by the Houthis.

02:27:52.000 And why did Saudi Arabia bomb the airport?

02:27:55.000 Because what this represents is an Iranian attempt to establish an air bridge between Iran and Yemen.

02:28:03.000 If they can establish an air bridge, meaning that there's going to be flights, military or other cargo flights, moving from Iran to Sana'a.

02:28:12.000 Then that means the Iranians could be supplying the Houthis with rockets, drones, maybe missiles that they might use to shut down shipping in the Red Sea and prevent Saudi Arabia from using its east west pipeline to get its oil out from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea and then out to Asia.

02:28:28.000 So Saudi Arabia bombed the airport.

02:28:31.000 In retaliation, the Houthi rebels launched rockets at Saudi Arabia's civilian airport and one of its air bases, presumably where they launched the airstrike from.

02:28:42.000 Saudi Arabia is now imposing a blockade.

02:28:46.000 Of this airport.

02:28:48.000 They're closing Yemen's airspace and saying that if Iran attempts to land any planes in Yemen, or if any planes at all land in Yemen, then the airport will be bombed.

02:28:58.000 Potentially the planes will be shot down.

02:29:00.000 In response, the Houthis have said they will attack planes trying to land in Saudi Arabia and trying to close Saudi Arabia's airspace.

02:29:09.000 So it's like I said at the top of the show now this war is widening to include another front.

02:29:14.000 And now you might have shipping, or rather, fighting.

02:29:18.000 Between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

02:29:20.000 And this might take place on the ground.

02:29:22.000 It might take place as a war of cities using missiles and drones, launching them at each other. 0.90

02:29:28.000 This is another way in which Iran is going to put pressure on the Gulf. 0.70

02:29:33.000 Because now Saudi Arabia not only has to worry about defending from missile and drone attacks originating in Iran, but they also have to worry about defending against ground incursion, missile and drone attacks coming from Yemen. 0.60

02:29:46.000 And whereas before we were worried about the closure of the strait, now we have to anticipate that there might be a threat. 0.80

02:29:52.000 To close the Bab el Mandeb coming from Yemen. 0.92

02:29:55.000 And so now the United States might have to be involved in that theater. 0.79

02:29:59.000 Certainly Saudi Arabia will be as well.

02:30:02.000 It's like I said before, this is the way in which the war is now widening to include three fronts the Persian Gulf, Israel and Lebanon, and also now increasingly Yemen.

02:30:13.000 And all this does is it makes it more likely that the United States is drawn further and further into the conflict.

02:30:20.000 And it almost makes a ground occupation inevitable at this point.

02:30:26.000 The reason the peace failed is because Iran will never allow the Strait of Hormuz to open free for all shipping again. 0.77

02:30:35.000 And conversely, the United States will never allow Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz. 0.91

02:30:41.000 Now, we know that there's probably no way that we can permanently suppress Iran's ability to close the Strait. 0.83

02:30:48.000 Iran also knows there's nothing they could do to defend against the United States launching decapitation strikes against the regime, hitting them hundreds or thousands of times a day with our air force. 0.95

02:31:00.000 Conversely, we know that Iran and the Houthis can make it hurt for us very badly in the Gulf countries. 0.95

02:31:07.000 And I think this is pushing both of us towards escalation. 0.99

02:31:10.000 The Iranians are going to have to escalate to pressure the United States to bow out of the conflict. 0.97

02:31:15.000 We're going to have to increase the pressure to impose our demands on Iran. 0.99

02:31:19.000 Now, fundamentally, here is why I believe there's no way out of this. 0.82

02:31:25.000 At the heart of all of this conflict, make no mistake about it, for us, Is that Iran has a stockpile of highly enriched uranium and they have centrifuges.

02:31:36.000 This is the elephant in the room, okay?

02:31:39.000 When you really figure out all the logic, why Iran behaves the way it does, why we behave the way that we do, it is all concerning the nuclear program. 0.86

02:31:49.000 Why?

02:31:50.000 Right now, Iran has 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium.

02:31:55.000 They also, we believe, have centrifuges that are operational in Pickaxe Mountain, which is, I believe, south of Natanz.

02:32:04.000 And we can't hit those centrifuges.

02:32:06.000 They're too far underground.

02:32:08.000 So we have to assume that if Iran has a massive stockpile of highly enriched uranium and they have operational centrifuges, that if left alone, they could develop a nuclear weapon.

02:32:20.000 They could further enrich their existing stockpile of uranium.

02:32:23.000 It wouldn't be hard.

02:32:25.000 And they would have the material for maybe 10 to 20 nuclear bombs.

02:32:29.000 And it doesn't matter if they put it on a missile, which they have not demonstrated the capability to do so, they call that miniaturization.

02:32:37.000 You make a warhead, then you make it small enough to put on a missile.

02:32:41.000 They don't have ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, that they could launch at the United States. 0.83

02:32:46.000 But all they would need is a very primitive nuclear device to make any kind of intervention against Iran impossible. 0.59

02:32:55.000 So, if left alone, if they have the centrifuges, if they have the stockpile, they can make the nuclear material to build a primitive warhead to make a true weapon of mass destruction that they could use on the field against Israel, against the Gulf countries, if the United States tried to intervene against one of our bases. 0.61

02:33:13.000 And this would be totally unacceptable. 0.92

02:33:16.000 Now, this is what is motivating both Iran's behavior and ours. 0.87

02:33:21.000 What Iran is seeking to do is establish deterrence. 0.91

02:33:24.000 They are trying to make this as painful as possible for the United States. 0.83

02:33:28.000 They know they can't win.

02:33:29.000 There is no way they can defeat the United States because they can't touch us.

02:33:33.000 They can't touch us on our territory.

02:33:36.000 And the most that they could do is launch drones and missiles at our bases, which we can shoot down and we can evacuate the bases and rebuild the bases.

02:33:44.000 They can't hit our aircraft carriers because our carriers move. 0.79

02:33:49.000 So, Iran knows they cannot defeat the United States militarily. 0.97

02:33:53.000 So, what's their next best strategy? 0.98

02:33:56.000 They're going to make it so painful that we leave them alone.

02:34:00.000 And they're going to make it painful militarily and economically.

02:34:04.000 So, what targets are they hitting?

02:34:05.000 They're hitting our radar.

02:34:07.000 They're hitting our intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance or radar systems that we use to detect incoming drones and missiles. 0.61

02:34:15.000 Why are they hitting ISR targets? 1.00

02:34:18.000 To blind us. 1.00

02:34:19.000 To blind us so that their drones and missiles are more effective.

02:34:23.000 Drones and missiles need to be made unstoppable so that every time they make a launch, you know, they launch a flurry of low cost drones, overwhelm the interceptor systems, and then the heavier payload projectiles like cruise missiles and ballistic missiles are able to get through.

02:34:40.000 And they're going to pound our military bases, which is going to do a lot of damage, costly damage.

02:34:45.000 They're going to pound infrastructure in the Gulf countries, Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, the Emirates.

02:34:51.000 And it's costly to rebuild these things.

02:34:53.000 It's costly for those countries' economies because tourists and investors and even residents are not going to want to live and invest money in those countries if they're being bombed all the time.

02:35:04.000 It's not good for business in a city like Dubai or Doha or Abu Dhabi to have Iranian drones and missiles landing at your civilian airport, at your hotels, at your desalination plants, and so on.

02:35:16.000 So Iran is seeking to impose economic and military damage by bombing all of these military and civilian sites with drones and missiles. 0.82

02:35:25.000 They're also using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage to hurt the global economy and our economy. 0.91

02:35:32.000 Shut down the flow of oil, and this acutely hurts the Asian countries first, because that's where most of the oil from the Persian Gulf is actually destined for. 0.72

02:35:40.000 It's headed to India, it's headed to Japan, it's headed to Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia.

02:35:46.000 And so if it's hurting Asia, then Asia is putting pressure on the United States.

02:35:52.000 Secondarily, it hurts Europe.

02:35:54.000 Europe buys a lot of LNG.

02:35:56.000 Qatar supplies 20% of the world's LNG.

02:35:59.000 If that supply is totally constricted in the Strait of Hormuz, then the price of LNG goes up.

02:36:05.000 It destroys Europe's economy.

02:36:07.000 So Europe is mad at the United States as well.

02:36:09.000 And then the big one is that it increases energy prices even for us, which increases overall prices, which causes inflation, which makes us raise interest rates.

02:36:20.000 And this causes major economic problems for us.

02:36:23.000 Energy shortage, first and foremost, higher energy costs, secondarily.

02:36:28.000 And then later on, Increasing cost for transportation and higher prices overall, higher borrowing costs.

02:36:37.000 And what that does is it limits the ability for tech companies to speculate.

02:36:41.000 It slows down data center construction, causing AI companies and chip companies to collapse.

02:36:47.000 There's like a lot of dominoes that begin to fall when energy becomes expensive. 0.86

02:36:51.000 And so this is what Iran is doing Iran is cranking up the pressure by doing these activities. 0.87

02:36:56.000 And why? 0.63

02:36:58.000 What they're trying to do is establish deterrence.

02:37:01.000 They're trying to impose so much pain that it's simply not worth the trouble to intervene militarily.

02:37:08.000 They're trying to pressure us to stop and impose such a high cost that it would be prohibitive to ever go back to war. 0.87

02:37:16.000 Now, why is Iran doing this? 0.78

02:37:18.000 Well, one, it's regime survival.

02:37:20.000 They don't want the United States to take another crack and try to assassinate their leadership and try to topple their government.

02:37:27.000 But regime survival has another goal, which is that they can develop a nuclear arsenal. 0.83

02:37:35.000 If we cannot militarily intervene in Iran, then they can safely race towards a nuclear bomb. 0.94

02:37:42.000 And that would be the ultimate guarantor of regime survival. 0.97

02:37:46.000 That's the ultimate deterrent.

02:37:49.000 Right now, Iran is deterring aggression with its proxies that might retaliate against Israel and the Gulf countries. 0.80

02:37:56.000 They are deterring aggression by closing the Strait of Hormuz, creating economic pain. 0.88

02:38:00.000 They're deterring aggression with a massive arsenal, native ability to produce drones and missiles that can impose a very high cost on all of our allies and destroy all our military sites.

02:38:11.000 But the number one deterrent.

02:38:13.000 And therefore, the guarantor of regime survival is a nuclear weapon.

02:38:18.000 But the reason they can't have one is because if they pursue one, it invites U.S. aggression.

02:38:24.000 If they were to race towards a bomb, then it would justify any cost for the United States to intervene. 0.92

02:38:32.000 And so, what Iran seeks to do is to impose such a high cost in the short term, they can race towards a bomb, we will not be able to stop them. 0.92

02:38:41.000 And then, once they get the bomb, then we'll never be able to intervene. 0.94

02:38:45.000 Then the regime will be able to survive in perpetuity. 0.82

02:38:48.000 It's the same reason North Korea has a nuclear bomb. 0.65

02:38:51.000 North Korea has thousands of artillery pointed at Seoul, and they have 80 nuclear warheads, and they've got nuclear capable submarines and medium range missiles.

02:39:03.000 And all of this is to guarantee the survival of the regime. 0.76

02:39:05.000 And that's why they still have a Juche communist regime. 0.61

02:39:09.000 Even though the people are enslaved and miserable and they're poor, and you have this autarky based on military production, that regime will never go anywhere because it can't. 0.85

02:39:19.000 Because they have 80 nuclear warheads. 0.94

02:39:22.000 And this is what Iran is pursuing. 0.92

02:39:24.000 And they're trying to create the conditions where they can pursue it without us trying to thwart it. 1.00

02:39:28.000 And once they achieve that bomb, then these 12ers that control the government are never going to go anywhere forever. 1.00

02:39:35.000 That's the goal. 1.00

02:39:37.000 And this is exactly why the United States can't leave them alone.

02:39:40.000 This is why we can't let them have drones and missiles.

02:39:43.000 This is why we can't let them control the Strait.

02:39:46.000 Because if they control the Strait and the missiles and the proxies, then they can deter US aggression and pursue the bomb.

02:39:53.000 That's why we can't walk away letting them control the Strait.

02:39:57.000 Game it out.

02:39:58.000 Let's say we walk away from the war and we just wash our hands of this and leave. 0.94

02:40:03.000 Iran says, Thank you very much.

02:40:05.000 We accept your surrender. 0.84

02:40:06.000 The Strait is ours. 1.00

02:40:08.000 We're going to continue to supply Hezbollah, continue to supply the Houthis. 0.99

02:40:11.000 We're going to build our missile and drone arsenal. 0.92

02:40:14.000 Now, let's say we continue to negotiate with Iran.

02:40:17.000 Let's say we even reach some kind of nuclear deal.

02:40:20.000 You can enrich at 3.67% with inspections, monitoring.

02:40:24.000 Let's say they agree to it.

02:40:26.000 What happens if five, ten years down the line, they stop adhering to the restrictions imposed by an agreement?

02:40:35.000 They start enriching without limits, enriching and creating a stockpile without limits.

02:40:41.000 They start weaponizing. 0.51

02:40:42.000 Well, at that point in time, they will have rebuilt their proxies, reconstituted their drone missile program.

02:40:48.000 They will have established legal and formal control over the Strait.

02:40:52.000 At that point, we can't intervene to stop them.

02:40:56.000 What ability will we have to veto their breach of that nuclear agreement?

02:41:00.000 We'll be powerless.

02:41:02.000 Because ultimately, that is what we'd have to do decapitate the regime. 0.98

02:41:06.000 Bomb the nuclear sites, prevent them from going in. 0.95

02:41:08.000 But if in that distant future we bomb Iran, they rain thousands of drones and missiles on the Gulf countries, they close the strait, they rain missiles on Israel and the Eastern province from the proxies, we wouldn't be able to stop them. 0.77

02:41:22.000 So, this is why you're never going to get an end to this conflict unless the United States is able to secure or somehow make inaccessible the stockpile of uranium and the centrifuges. 0.77

02:41:36.000 So, I've always been saying you have to talk about root causes.

02:41:40.000 And I'm saying this, this is not my perspective.

02:41:42.000 This is the strategic thinking of the United States military.

02:41:46.000 So, Joe Kent, who just left the counterterrorism center, he said, We don't even need a deal.

02:41:51.000 We should just walk away.

02:41:53.000 Here's why that cannot happen you cannot walk away for that reason.

02:41:58.000 It just simply cannot happen.

02:42:00.000 And Iran can't just open up the strait either, because if they open up the strait, then they know it will allow for the United States to regroup.

02:42:09.000 And make another attempt at regime change in the future.

02:42:12.000 This is the strategic thinking that motivates every party involved.

02:42:18.000 Now, here's the solution.

02:42:20.000 How do we get out of this nightmare?

02:42:22.000 How do we get out of this trap? 0.99

02:42:24.000 Well, the solution lies within Israel. 0.72

02:42:28.000 Why is Iran obsessed with regime survival?

02:42:32.000 Because sometime in the 1990s, Israel changed its geopolitical thinking.

02:42:38.000 After the Desert Storm U.S. war in Iraq, Israel began to see Iran rather than Saddam Hussein's Iraq as the principal rival and threat in the region.

02:42:50.000 After the U.S. invaded Iraq in 1990 and destroyed their nuclear weapons program and destroyed their military, Israel began to see Iran as the number one threat and decided they have to go. 0.75

02:43:02.000 In 2003, the United States invades Iraq, topples the government, and Iran realizes we're next.

02:43:09.000 Iran sees that in 2011, Muammar Gaddafi, who was cooperating with the United States, he fell anyway too.

02:43:16.000 Even though he gave up his nuclear ambitions voluntarily, even though he cooperated with the United States on counterterrorism, it didn't matter. 0.76

02:43:25.000 He went just the same as Saddam Hussein did. 0.72

02:43:29.000 Iran is obsessed with regime survival because they have seen the fate of Saddam Hussein, they have seen the fate of Muammar Gaddafi, they have seen the fate of Bashar al Assad, and they expect, they anticipate, they expect that Israel will drive the United States to topple Iran's government. 0.89

02:43:47.000 That's why they will trade everything for a nuclear arsenal. 0.87

02:43:51.000 That's why they will take on the sanctions.

02:43:53.000 They will suffer the sanctions.

02:43:55.000 They will suffer the shadow war against their infrastructure by Israel and the United States. 0.61

02:44:01.000 That is why they will suffer being a pariah state. 0.80

02:44:05.000 Because it is better to be under sanctions, it is better to be subjected to sabotage and espionage and all these things than to suffer the fate of Assad, Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein. 0.60

02:44:19.000 They don't want to be executed in the UN court.

02:44:21.000 They don't want to be dragged through the streets and, you know, what happened to Gaddafi, penetrated by a metal rod.

02:44:28.000 They don't want to have to flee to Russia like Assad.

02:44:30.000 They want to survive.

02:44:31.000 And this is what they see as the only way to do so is to achieve this nuclear threshold status, develop these other conventional deterrent capabilities.

02:44:42.000 And either those are sufficient or they guarantee their ability to develop a weapon and forever protect the survival of the regime.

02:44:51.000 So, how does that inform the solution? 0.86

02:44:55.000 If we can inspire confidence in Iran that we will never seek the destruction of their regime, then maybe they might abandon their nuclear ambitions. 0.74

02:45:05.000 The only way to do that is regime change in Israel. 0.71

02:45:09.000 We need Israel's strategic thinking to change. 0.70

02:45:12.000 If Israel were to no longer pursue regime change against Iran, then we might be able to assure Iran that they don't have to worry about regime survival, that maybe the nuclear threshold status isn't as important, and that economic integration and normalization might be a better guarantor of survival than a nuclear program if we can eliminate that threat for them. 0.73

02:45:37.000 That's the only way out of this. 0.55

02:45:39.000 But that's not going to happen. 0.78

02:45:41.000 Because the bipartisan consensus in Israel on their octopus doctrine is that they're done cutting off the tentacles, which is Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.

02:45:50.000 They're going for the head, which is Iran.

02:45:53.000 And that's Naftali Bennett.

02:45:55.000 That's Netanyahu.

02:45:57.000 That is everybody in the Knesset. 0.69

02:45:59.000 They all agree that they have to decisively confront Iran and end that threat once and for all. 0.99

02:46:04.000 So we're not going to change their minds. 1.00

02:46:06.000 We're not going to be able to put them in their place.

02:46:08.000 I think that's why the drive towards regime change is basically inevitable at this point.

02:46:13.000 That is the triangulation of these different security strategies between Iran, Israel, and the United States. 0.79

02:46:21.000 So that's the Iran war in a nutshell.

02:46:23.000 Like I said, next week, Trump is threatening to escalate on the energy and civilian infrastructure.

02:46:29.000 I think that's an idle threat because we're just not ready what's going to come the other way.

02:46:33.000 But I do think that on a long enough timeline, maybe after the midterms, eventually it's going to entail.

02:46:39.000 Some kind of U.S. ground invasion. 0.98

02:46:42.000 We simply cannot let Iran control the Strait. 1.00

02:46:44.000 We're not going to be able to prevent them from controlling it. 0.99

02:46:48.000 It's eventually going to move towards regime change.

02:46:51.000 So that's where we are.

02:46:53.000 We're going to move on into the super chats, I think, just because we're out of time.

02:46:56.000 I was going to talk about the angle with JD Vance, but I've already been going for 90.

02:47:03.000 Well, you know what?

02:47:03.000 We have a little bit of time.

02:47:06.000 I guess we'll just knock it out tonight.

02:47:09.000 The other angle I wanted to get into, we've only been going for about 70 minutes.

02:47:13.000 The other angle I wanted to get into with Iran, and this is maybe less to do with the situation in the Middle East, this is more of a domestic political story, is how JD Vance is actually the biggest loser in this entire debacle.

02:47:29.000 When the war started, JD Vance was nowhere to be seen.

02:47:34.000 You remember this?

02:47:35.000 JD Vance is always everywhere, he's always at a photo op, he's never met a camera he doesn't love, he's always giving interviews.

02:47:44.000 Always trying to impress everybody with how based he is, how he talks like us and he's just like us, even published a new book recently.

02:47:53.000 But when the war in Iran started, he was nowhere to be found.

02:47:57.000 He disappeared, he was in hiding.

02:48:00.000 And why was JD Vance in hiding?

02:48:03.000 It's because, of course, he has presidential ambitions of his own.

02:48:07.000 He wants to run in 2028.

02:48:10.000 And he knows, like we all do, that this war is a catastrophe.

02:48:14.000 We are strategically being defeated in the war.

02:48:18.000 And not only that, but it's causing an economic crisis.

02:48:21.000 And it's going to get worse and not better.

02:48:24.000 This is going to have major ramifications for us and our foreign policy in every part of the world.

02:48:30.000 And that's also going to have major ramifications for the economy as well, long term ramifications.

02:48:37.000 And we're not going to start to see these things until next year.

02:48:39.000 Coincidentally, when the presidential election is really going to start, the presidential primaries are going to start in, let's say, June 2027 at the latest.

02:48:51.000 And so, what Vance is anticipating is that next year, when he enters the Republican primary for the presidential election, he's going to be asked by the press and in the presidential debates.

02:49:04.000 Where were you and what did you say when the war in Iran started?

02:49:09.000 You know, we might be knee deep in a recession next year.

02:49:13.000 We might be in the middle of a major ground war next year.

02:49:16.000 It might be a complete catastrophe, might be the worst case scenario.

02:49:19.000 And they're going to say, why didn't you prevent it?

02:49:23.000 You're the vice president.

02:49:24.000 How can you tell people to vote for you when you got us in this mess?

02:49:29.000 You either were in favor of it, in which case you own it, or you were powerless to stop it, in which case, why would we think you could do better as president?

02:49:39.000 So, Vance and all of his allies, by the way, they all know he's got an Iran war problem.

02:49:44.000 In 2028, he may even be removed from consideration because he's going to be seen as owning the Iran war.

02:49:51.000 He's going to be blamed for it.

02:49:54.000 So, what has JD Vance's strategy been?

02:49:57.000 He thought that if he hid and if he left the public eye when the war started, if he just wasn't visible, I mean, he's literally hiding, saying, if they don't see me, I won't get blamed for this.

02:50:10.000 He thinks that, however, if he emerges 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks into the conflict, and he's able to negotiate the peace deal, well, maybe he will not be able to say that he prevented the war, but he will be able to take credit for ending it.

02:50:28.000 That's the big idea.

02:50:30.000 And I'm going to tell you what his answer is going to be.

02:50:31.000 I'm going to predict the future again.

02:50:33.000 Watch 2027, he'll be on the debate stage, or he'll be asked by the press, Mr. Vance, Vice President Vance, when.

02:50:44.000 The war in Iran started.

02:50:46.000 You were in the room when it happened.

02:50:47.000 Why were you not able to prevent the war?

02:50:49.000 And what did you say to President Trump? 0.72

02:50:51.000 When did you support it or when did you stop supporting it? 0.75

02:50:55.000 And why should voters give you a chance if you were unable to prevent the war?

02:51:00.000 And Vance is going to say, Well, my job as the vice president is to support the president.

02:51:05.000 That's my job.

02:51:07.000 Everybody knows I'm the vice president.

02:51:09.000 My job is to support the policies and positions of the president of the United States.

02:51:13.000 And that's what I did.

02:51:15.000 He's going to say, Dana, whoever it is, Jake, Jake Tapper, my job was to support the policies of the President of the United States, and that's what I did.

02:51:24.000 I had my doubts, I had my reservations, but my job was to support the President.

02:51:28.000 But I led the diplomatic effort in Islamabad, and I led the effort in Switzerland, and I was there in Qatar, and we tried to get the best deal that we could. 0.89

02:51:37.000 We sought prosperity over war, but that's going to be the answer.

02:51:41.000 And so, to that end, early on, when the original ceasefire was promulgated in April, It was JD Vance that led the delegation to Islamabad, and he pushed for it.

02:51:53.000 He wanted it.

02:51:54.000 There was intense fighting inside the White House.

02:51:57.000 Vance desperately wanted to go to Islamabad to work out the peace deal.

02:52:03.000 And other elements in the White House that didn't like him went to the press and said, no, President Trump and Steve Witkopf are leading the process, not JD Vance.

02:52:14.000 But Vance went.

02:52:15.000 And then when the MOU came out, it was Vance that went to Islamabad, it was Vance that went to Switzerland.

02:52:22.000 For the first round of negotiations, it was Vance that went on the morning shows four weeks ago to defend the deal.

02:52:29.000 He went on all the morning shows four weeks ago, almost to the day, to defend the plan and say, We're going to give the Iranians an opportunity, and this might be turning over a new leaf.

02:52:41.000 It's a new era in U.S. Iran relations.

02:52:43.000 And he wanted to be the face of the peace deal, not the face of the war, so that he would have an excuse for all of the problems it's going to cause.

02:52:56.000 And so now that the MOU has utterly collapsed, now he is going to catch the blame, not only for the war's beginning, but also the war's resumption.

02:53:05.000 People are going to say, you didn't prevent the war.

02:53:07.000 And by the way, you also failed to end the war, too.

02:53:11.000 You couldn't stop Trump from getting us into the Iran war.

02:53:14.000 And when you tried to put your face all over the peace deal, you couldn't get the deal either.

02:53:18.000 So what good are you?

02:53:21.000 And the number one beneficiary is going to be Marco Rubio.

02:53:26.000 If you've been paying attention, for whatever reason, Marco Rubio has not been blamed for any of this.

02:53:34.000 Rubio is the Secretary of State.

02:53:36.000 He's also the National Security Advisor.

02:53:39.000 He should be blamed for it.

02:53:40.000 It's his job. 0.84

02:53:42.000 The Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor should be one of the principal actors in our foreign policy as we carry out this war in Iran.

02:53:52.000 And yet, for some reason, our National Security Advisor, Secretary of State, fully loaded diplomat, Is for whatever reason not seen as one of the major parties to the conflict.

02:54:04.000 Instead, he's getting the credit for our far more successful Latin American file.

02:54:11.000 He's getting the credit for Southern Spear.

02:54:13.000 He's getting the credit for extraditing Maduro.

02:54:16.000 He may get the credit if or when we're able to impose our will on Cuba.

02:54:22.000 And so our far more successful Caribbean Latin American file is going to be all him. 0.78

02:54:28.000 And our disaster of a Middle Eastern file is going to fall on JD Vance. 0.99

02:54:34.000 And so, this is why over the past couple of weeks, Vance threw himself in front of Islamabad, threw himself in front of Switzerland. 0.69

02:54:40.000 He wanted to be the face of the MOU.

02:54:43.000 What was Rubio doing in the meantime?

02:54:45.000 Rubio was holding a negotiation between Israel and Lebanon at the State Department.

02:54:54.000 And whereas Vance was in Qatar trying to sell Americans on this deal and trying to sell Americans on giving Iran $3 billion and selling Americans on making peace with Iran and normalizing relations, and we can trust them.

02:55:08.000 Rubio was at the State Department making a deal with our allies, Israel and Lebanon.

02:55:13.000 And Rubio went to the Gulf and was getting tough on Iran.

02:55:18.000 He said, Oh, Iran is worried about Lebanon's sovereignty.

02:55:21.000 Well, then stop giving money to Hezbollah.

02:55:24.000 Iran wants to open up the Strait of Hormuz.

02:55:28.000 Well, we want freedom of navigation.

02:55:31.000 And so, in a way, the peace process is becoming a battleground for a proxy war between Rubio and Vance.

02:55:39.000 Rubio and Vance are selecting different parts of the peace process, the parts which they think will confer upon them the biggest political benefits in 28. 0.91

02:55:49.000 Rubio thinks that by talking tough and being the neocon, I don't trust the Iranians. 0.87

02:55:54.000 The Iranians need to get out of Lebanon before Israel does. 1.00

02:55:57.000 Here's our deal between Israel and Lebanon. 0.99

02:56:00.000 And steering clear of the bad stuff, he thinks he's going to be seen as the seasoned diplomat.

02:56:05.000 He's going to be the more effective politician.

02:56:09.000 He's getting blamed for all this.

02:56:11.000 If his lane running for president is winning over the people that don't like the war, the Tucker Carlson wing, he knows he can't hold that lane while being blamed for the war.

02:56:21.000 He's going to try to take credit for solving it and revolutionizing the relations between the U.S. and Iran with some kind of peace deal.

02:56:29.000 And that's why the two are, in a way, sabotaging each other and fighting each other as the diplomatic process works out.

02:56:37.000 So that's the other angle.

02:56:38.000 The MOU falls apart, and maybe the biggest loser is JD Vance.

02:56:43.000 Because now he went double or nothing and he lost.

02:56:47.000 He's going to get blamed for not being able to stop the war.

02:56:50.000 He's going to be blamed for failing to end the war.

02:56:53.000 And what's that going to look like in nine months, 12 months, when he gets asked on the debate stage by a journalist, hey man, what's going on?

02:57:02.000 We saw you tried to stop the war, then you went into hiding.

02:57:05.000 You tried to end the war and it totally failed. 0.70

02:57:07.000 You went on the morning shows and tried to sell us on this deal, which was a giveaway to Iran, and they started closing the strait anyway. 1.00

02:57:14.000 So you're an idiot. 1.00

02:57:16.000 That's how it's going to go. 1.00

02:57:20.000 And, you know, look, it's a noble effort. 0.86

02:57:23.000 I think there should be a deal to end the war.

02:57:25.000 I want the war to end, but they're not getting it done.

02:57:29.000 And it may be impossible.

02:57:31.000 And now Vance is going to get blamed for it.

02:57:34.000 So that's how it's already shaping 2027 and 28.

02:57:36.000 Mark my words, that's going to be the conversation, I swear to you. 0.96

02:57:40.000 As sure as I'm sitting here right now, this war in Iran is going to go on longer, it's going to cause some serious economic problems.

02:57:49.000 If you just think about how the economy is structured, it's all AI and AI is all speculation.

02:57:54.000 That's all you need to know.

02:57:56.000 All of our economic growth is AI and all of AI is speculation and debt.

02:58:02.000 It's all speculation on future gains and borrowing to finance those perceived massive gains, borrowing to build the data centers, borrowing to buy the chips, borrowing because these companies aren't even profitable yet.

02:58:19.000 And so, what does that mean?

02:58:20.000 All of our economic growth in the construction sector, in the stock market, in the NASDAQ, it's all based on the price of money.

02:58:30.000 If it's all financed by debt, then that means the economics of it are dependent on the current interest rate, the prevailing interest rate.

02:58:37.000 Well, if prices start to go high, if the economy is overheating because of a prolonged closure of the straight and persistently high energy cost, then the Federal Reserve cannot cut the rates.

02:58:51.000 And not only can they not cut the rates, they might start raising the rates.

02:58:56.000 And if there's no expectation that energy costs is going to go down, then there's going to be no expectation that rates can come down.

02:59:02.000 And if there's no expectation that rates are going to go down, then these AI companies are going to have to scale back.

02:59:09.000 Because what do these data centers run on?

02:59:10.000 Electricity.

02:59:11.000 And electricity runs on energy.

02:59:14.000 So they're getting hit from both sides not just the borrowing, but also the electricity cost. 0.98

02:59:19.000 Their economics are going to be all fucked up because of this.

02:59:23.000 Data centers are going to be more costly to run, build, and more costly to finance because interest rates are not going to come down anymore. 0.90

02:59:33.000 So, this spells a very big problem for the U.S. economy going into next year, especially if there's no confidence that we're going to be able to close the Strait of Hormuz in the short term.

02:59:43.000 And, like I said, the strategic thinking, which actually takes primacy, when it comes to the strategic thinking of the Pentagon versus, like, let's say, the economic thinking of the Economic planners, the Fed, asset managers, bankers, the Pentagon wins.

02:59:58.000 The Pentagon actually outflanks the economic thinking.

03:00:02.000 It's like Trump always says they say, What do you think about the financial well being of the U.S. consumer?

03:00:07.000 He goes, I don't care.

03:00:09.000 He says, because what takes precedence is that Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon.

03:00:13.000 And like we just talked about, that's what's driving everything. 0.87

03:00:16.000 So, in other words, maybe if you gave Iran the Strait of Hormuz, it would alleviate the pressure on the economy, but that might guarantee they could get a nuclear weapon. 0.93

03:00:25.000 That's why we can't do it. 0.91

03:00:27.000 Pentagon won't allow it.

03:00:29.000 So, we're stuck in this, and we're going to be dealing with this in the 27, and it's going to fall on Vance.

03:00:34.000 And good, I hope it does.

03:00:37.000 So, that's the story.

03:00:38.000 We're going to move on.

03:00:39.000 We're going to take a look at our super chats.

03:00:40.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

03:00:43.000 That's our big summary of Iran and the MOU.

03:00:45.000 You're not going to get, you're just not going to get better analysis anywhere else.

03:00:52.000 You're not going to get a better, more comprehensive overall view of the conflict than this.

03:00:58.000 So I hope you enjoyed that.

03:01:00.000 We're going to move on.

03:01:01.000 We're going to take a look at our super chats.

03:01:03.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

03:01:06.000 Let's take a look.

03:01:10.000 All right, let's see.

03:01:16.000 Let's take a look.

03:01:22.000 Wes Rogers Park Roy, percent $20.

03:01:23.000 Do you think Sneeko will support the Deport Sneeko movement now that it's popular?

03:01:26.000 New merch is Fire Emoji, Arch of Titus is my fave.

03:01:29.000 That's funny.

03:01:30.000 He sort of is.

03:01:32.000 He sort of is.

03:01:33.000 He's saying, import Sneeko.

03:01:34.000 Okay, you could deport me, but first you got to do this.

03:01:38.000 It's so funny that Deport Sneeko became so popular, he literally began to engage with it.

03:01:44.000 Of course.

03:01:46.000 And I'm glad you like the merch.

03:01:48.000 Too.

03:01:49.000 Aaron Yeager, 2002, sent $20.

03:01:51.000 Hi.

03:01:51.000 After my mom's suicide, life felt meaningless.

03:01:53.000 I abused weed to numb that feeling.

03:01:54.000 You've inspired me to overcome my pain.

03:01:57.000 Love to hear it.

03:01:57.000 I'm really sorry to hear that, though, man.

03:01:59.000 That's brutal.

03:02:01.000 I can't even imagine the pain.

03:02:05.000 But good for you.

03:02:06.000 Good for you that you're overcoming that.

03:02:10.000 I mean, I can't even blame you.

03:02:12.000 I don't even know what I would do in that situation.

03:02:14.000 But God bless you, man.

03:02:16.000 It's really good to hear that you're motivated.

03:02:18.000 Israel first girl I percent $20.

03:02:20.000 Lindsey Graham came to me in a dream and told me there's more to it than it seems. 0.68

03:02:23.000 There you go.

03:02:23.000 There's your evidence, right?

03:02:24.000 Shrek Buchanan sent $20.

03:02:26.000 Adrian Vermeule is like only true right wing legal theorists.

03:02:28.000 Wish he'd organize and rival Federalist Society for legal advocacy.

03:02:31.000 Vermeule is not our guy, though, at all.

03:02:34.000 That guy's a total spook. 1.00

03:02:37.000 So, I'm not super familiar with his writing, but I know a little bit about his background. 0.98

03:02:42.000 And that guy is just like, let's just say he's not one of us by a law.

03:02:47.000 So, a guy sent $20.

03:02:48.000 Instead of deporting Sneeko, someone could just throw him in a gorilla enclosure.

03:02:51.000 Number one would care.

03:02:52.000 Two monks fighting as normal. 0.96

03:02:53.000 Yeah, give them to Harambe.

03:02:55.000 Let Harambe do his job.

03:02:56.000 She sent $50.

03:02:57.000 Happy birthday, Superbop.

03:02:59.000 I don't know who that is, but they.

03:03:00.000 Now watch this drive, send $30. 0.97

03:03:02.000 I still think we should let crackheads and Walmart employees drive their cars into flock cameras. 0.98

03:03:06.000 Yeah.

03:03:07.000 Yeah, let the crackheads do it, I guess. 0.80

03:03:09.000 That's just crazy.

03:03:10.000 I was thinking about that the other day. 1.00

03:03:15.000 The conversation has just gotten so polluted by idiots and bad actors. 1.00

03:03:20.000 And I have no problem distancing myself from that because. 1.00

03:03:26.000 It's one of these classic situations where the crowd is going in a certain direction, and the crowd is mindless.

03:03:34.000 The crowd just does what they think is popular, and it's obvious that that's not going to end well.

03:03:40.000 So, when you got Dan Kazarian up there saying, Yeah, kill Israelis and destroy flock cameras, you know, that seems like a good idea right now when everyone's doing it, and the only direction that seems to make sense is more radical, more extreme.

03:03:53.000 I've been around the block, though. 0.93

03:03:55.000 We all know where that goes.

03:03:57.000 We all know where that's headed, and then we all know who's going to get blamed for it.

03:04:01.000 So I want to make it clear, I want nothing to do with that.

03:04:05.000 People that are talking about killing and violence and destruction of property, I want nothing to do with that.

03:04:11.000 I do not encourage that.

03:04:13.000 That is not my message at all.

03:04:15.000 Because we all know how that ends up.

03:04:17.000 And I've been around long enough that I've seen it.

03:04:21.000 Happened in 2018.

03:04:23.000 There were all these white nationalist terrorist attacks, and that was the pretext that they used to ban everybody the telecom companies, the social platforms, all the other major digital platforms.

03:04:35.000 It was brutal.

03:04:36.000 I want nothing to do with that.

03:04:37.000 That's how, you know.

03:04:40.000 It's like, if your friend jumped off a cliff, did you think that's a good idea too? 1.00

03:04:43.000 It's like, I am not jumping off the cliff with the rest of these numbskulls. 1.00

03:04:47.000 It's just insane. 0.99

03:04:48.000 And it's more crazy. 1.00

03:04:49.000 It's like, he's a pussy. 1.00

03:04:51.000 He doesn't want to commit federal crimes. 1.00

03:04:53.000 It's like, so you're damned if you do, damned if you don't, right? 0.98

03:04:59.000 If I were out there telling people to be violent, they'd say you're a fad. 0.99

03:05:02.000 If I tell people don't be violent, you're a fad.

03:05:06.000 It's just, but you know what?

03:05:07.000 Sometimes you just got to say whatever.

03:05:09.000 You do your thing, I'll do mine. 0.96

03:05:10.000 Aurora Groy percent $100.

03:05:13.000 Thanks for the big super chat, Aurora.

03:05:14.000 Well, you know, Aurora is not really part of Chicago.

03:05:17.000 So, Arlington Heights, okay.

03:05:20.000 Evanston, sure.

03:05:22.000 Aurora, that's pushing it. 0.67

03:05:24.000 Aurora's kind of a dump, I'm going to be honest. 0.52

03:05:26.000 I've been out that way. 0.98

03:05:27.000 It's kind of a dump.

03:05:30.000 Naperville's about as far west as I'm going to go.

03:05:32.000 I'll put it that way.

03:05:34.000 Naperville's pretty nice.

03:05:35.000 Aurora, I don't think I'm going to be out there anytime soon.

03:05:39.000 Oakland Roy percent $20.

03:05:40.000 Nick, I have been approached by the Leadership Institute.

03:05:42.000 I'm a young professional in a swing state.

03:05:44.000 Do it.

03:05:44.000 Worth or stay away?

03:05:47.000 Leadership Institute, great opportunity.

03:05:49.000 Just don't reveal your power level. 1.00

03:05:52.000 No dog whistles, no cute shit. 1.00

03:05:54.000 If you go to the Leadership Institute, you have the politics of Trump. 1.00

03:05:58.000 If you go to the Leadership Institute, you just emulate whatever Trump is doing and saying.

03:06:03.000 That's as far as you can go there.

03:06:05.000 But it's a great opportunity.

03:06:06.000 Great networking, ability to get into the institutions, and it's good training.

03:06:12.000 Look, the training is the same.

03:06:13.000 They teach you how to do door knocking, they teach you how to do campus activism, they teach you some practical skills.

03:06:21.000 And it's all basic stuff, but you know what?

03:06:23.000 People need to start with the basic stuff.

03:06:24.000 So it's a great opportunity.

03:06:27.000 I would do it if I were you.

03:06:28.000 Do one of the trainings.

03:06:29.000 Just don't reveal your power level.

03:06:31.000 That was my mistake. 0.99

03:06:32.000 I went there and I was pilling the normies and I got totally fucked over. 0.95

03:06:37.000 So don't do that. 0.99

03:06:38.000 Don't do what I do.

03:06:39.000 Boys Town Groyper sent $20.

03:06:40.000 Ever suspects Leah was foul play?

03:06:42.000 No Nazi. 0.98

03:06:43.000 Though he was pee fat and old. 0.94

03:06:44.000 Any other deep cut political hitchhops you believe in? 0.56

03:06:47.000 Boys Town Groyper, another fine neighbor in Chicago.

03:06:50.000 No, I don't think it was foul play.

03:06:53.000 I don't think so.

03:06:56.000 He was just fat.

03:06:57.000 I mean, he was just a big guy and probably just died. 0.88

03:06:59.000 And they replaced him with Neil Gorsuch anyway.

03:07:05.000 So I don't think there was foul play at all.

03:07:09.000 Any other deep cut political hitchhops?

03:07:11.000 No, not that I can think of.

03:07:13.000 Not really.

03:07:15.000 No, I think he just died.

03:07:15.000 Scalia.

03:07:17.000 He was a big fat old guy. 0.89

03:07:18.000 Those kinds of people just die sometimes.

03:07:20.000 Elite Grow, I percent $20.

03:07:21.000 Just bought my first house at 22. 0.99

03:07:23.000 Do you have any advice or suggestions for FHBs that are in the same boat that I'm in?

03:07:27.000 What's FHB?

03:07:28.000 Oh, first time home buyer.

03:07:32.000 Well, you know what?

03:07:33.000 Really, the economics right now would tell you that renting is better.

03:07:37.000 Interest rates are really high.

03:07:39.000 Interest rates are what, like 6%, 7% right now?

03:07:44.000 And if you have a 30 year mortgage, all your mortgage payments are interest at the beginning.

03:07:53.000 So right now, you're better off renting and putting money into the stock market.

03:08:00.000 Real estate as an investment is not that good right now.

03:08:04.000 So I think renting is not the worst idea.

03:08:08.000 When I was growing up, the conventional wisdom was why would anyone rent?

03:08:11.000 You're just throwing money away.

03:08:13.000 Buy a house.

03:08:13.000 But that was when interest rates were 3%.

03:08:17.000 When I bought my house, interest rates was like 2.7, I think, or maybe it was 3.7%.

03:08:22.000 I don't remember.

03:08:23.000 They were very low.

03:08:25.000 Now it's like 6.5%, 7%.

03:08:28.000 So it's double.

03:08:29.000 You know, the cost to borrow money is double what it was.

03:08:31.000 And everything's more expensive now.

03:08:33.000 Everything's.

03:08:35.000 Home insurance is way more expensive now.

03:08:38.000 Homeowners' insurance has gone through the roof in just the past three years.

03:08:42.000 Taxes are going up, at least where I live.

03:08:45.000 So, my mortgage has become a lot more expensive because of insurance, taxes, and even though I got in at a low rate.

03:08:53.000 So, you'd be better off investing in the stock market and renting.

03:08:58.000 Although, rentals are very expensive too now.

03:09:01.000 It's crazy.

03:09:02.000 I talked to somebody who's paying, I think, $1,800 a month for a one bedroom apartment in the west suburbs of Chicago.

03:09:10.000 It's crazy.

03:09:11.000 It's crazy what people pay for rent out here without even amenities or anything.

03:09:16.000 So it's just the cost of living is just out of control.

03:09:23.000 Renting, buying, it's just out of control any way you cut it.

03:09:26.000 Advice for a first time homeowner.

03:09:29.000 Well, I hope you got an inspection done.

03:09:33.000 And other than that, I mean, just maintenance, maintenance, man.

03:09:38.000 Just stay on top of it. 0.99

03:09:40.000 Owning a home is a huge pain in the ass. 0.99

03:09:42.000 It really, you think it's a great idea, think it's the American dream. 0.99

03:09:45.000 And then, you know, your boiler has a problem.

03:09:49.000 Then your roof is leaking.

03:09:50.000 Your ceiling has ghosting on it.

03:09:53.000 You know, there's moisture you find in your bathroom. 0.99

03:09:56.000 It's just problems after problems, masonry problems, moisture problems, your fucking gutters collapse. 0.98

03:10:03.000 Like, it just, it's one thing after the other. 0.97

03:10:06.000 So if I were to give you advice, budget in.

03:10:09.000 Repairs and renovations. 1.00

03:10:10.000 You got to budget that in because shit is going to break. 0.99

03:10:15.000 And so, even if you're set, some years nothing breaks, set aside money for repairs. 0.99

03:10:20.000 You're never going to get away with it.

03:10:21.000 It's like anything else.

03:10:23.000 Some years you're not going to have anything to repair major.

03:10:26.000 It doesn't matter.

03:10:27.000 Put some money away for a rainy day because one day you might need to buy another $10,000 boiler, furnace, hot water heater, whatever.

03:10:36.000 You're going to need it.

03:10:37.000 So, save money for a rainy day.

03:10:39.000 If you're a homeowner for repairs, make sure you're taking advantage of all the tax benefits, major tax benefits.

03:10:47.000 If you use some of your space for a home office, take that as a deduction.

03:10:51.000 If you itemize, make sure to take that as a deduction.

03:10:56.000 What else?

03:10:57.000 I'm trying to think.

03:11:01.000 And just think about resale value.

03:11:03.000 Don't do anything goofy. 1.00

03:11:05.000 I've been looking at a lot of new houses lately, and these people just do the goofiest shit. 0.99

03:11:09.000 They don't maintain their houses, then they go to sell it, they got a ton of problems. 1.00

03:11:13.000 They do a lot of goofy stuff.

03:11:15.000 They spend a fortune on renovations, and they're just not going to recoup that when they sell it.

03:11:21.000 Think about the market that you're in.

03:11:22.000 I saw it's so funny.

03:11:24.000 This is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.

03:11:27.000 So I'm looking at residential warehouse conversions.

03:11:30.000 I want to live in a warehouse.

03:11:32.000 And for whatever reason, they don't have a ton of that in Chicago.

03:11:35.000 Not a lot of condos, not a lot of single family type stuff.

03:11:40.000 But I was looking at this one warehouse conversion. 0.70

03:11:43.000 And it was this woman from like HGTV. 1.00

03:11:47.000 And she seems like nice enough, but she's like a typical stupid bitch from HGTV. 1.00

03:11:52.000 And she goes, I saved my money, I bought and I made my dream home. 1.00

03:11:57.000 So what did she buy?

03:11:58.000 She bought a warehouse in Humboldt Park.

03:12:02.000 This genius, this genius interior designer from HGTV, she said, I'm going to refurbish, I'm going to renovate a warehouse in Humboldt Park, which, if you know anything about Humboldt Park, it's the ghetto, okay? 1.00

03:12:18.000 It's nigger hell. 1.00

03:12:19.000 She goes, I'm going to go to Humboldt Park, I'm going to buy a warehouse next to a currency exchange. 1.00

03:12:26.000 Literally, on one side is a Popeyes, on the other side is a currency exchange in Humboldt Park.

03:12:32.000 She goes, and I'm going to turn this warehouse into my dream home.

03:12:36.000 She put, I think, $2 million into this renovation, bought the warehouse, gutted it, painted it, built new walls.

03:12:45.000 She furnished it with these unbelievable amenities waterfall countertop on the island, brand new fridge, wine fridge, you know, amazing appliances. 0.52

03:12:58.000 She flew in these doors that she bought from France.

03:13:02.000 These French style doors that she found at some antique store in Europe, she had them flown in. 1.00

03:13:08.000 I mean, she, it was like the tits. 1.00

03:13:11.000 She did it up. 1.00

03:13:12.000 She put her art studio in there. 0.98

03:13:14.000 She made it a residence, little theater room, all that. 0.76

03:13:17.000 Millions and millions of dollars.

03:13:19.000 And I remember looking at it, I said, This place is unbelievable.

03:13:24.000 How much is it?

03:13:25.000 And I go on Zillow, Redfin.

03:13:28.000 She's asking $2 million for it.

03:13:32.000 Years later, someone must have bought it.

03:13:34.000 Now it's on sale, I think, for $1 million. 1.00

03:13:37.000 Someone bought it, dumped all the bullshit. 0.99

03:13:39.000 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

03:13:41.000 Take your waterfall island, take your fucking French style doors from Europe. 0.99

03:13:46.000 Some commercial entity bought it, gutted it. 0.99

03:13:50.000 Now it's on sale for like $1.2 million.

03:13:53.000 I'm like, go figure.

03:13:54.000 Go figure.

03:13:55.000 She didn't want to leave in the windowless warehouse next to the currency exchange and the Popeyes in Humboldt Park. 0.99

03:14:00.000 Fucking genius, right? 0.97

03:14:01.000 I'm like, really? 1.00

03:14:04.000 So you got to know the market that you're in.

03:14:07.000 So, I bought this apartment building.

03:14:09.000 I bought this three flat as an investment property and to live in.

03:14:13.000 And you can get a special kind of mortgage if you live in it for at least a year.

03:14:18.000 So, I made it my primary residence for at least a year.

03:14:20.000 But, you know, I went to do things to it, and my contractor told me, you know, don't do it up too nice because it's a rental property.

03:14:28.000 Don't do it up too nice, he said, because it's going to be renters and renters are like animals, you know.

03:14:34.000 So, don't spend too much money on nice finishes and everything.

03:14:38.000 He said, paint it white.

03:14:40.000 And then buy a bunch of cheap white paint because you're going to be, you know, if you got renters, you're going to be painting a lot.

03:14:46.000 And don't go for the nicest stuff, just get the cheap stuff and make it easy to clean and repair and everything like that.

03:14:53.000 So if you're a first time home buyer, just have a mind towards resale value.

03:14:57.000 How are you going to recoup your, because that's what it is, it's an asset, it's an investment.

03:15:01.000 Now, you know, people will say it's not really an asset because assets produce cash flow and a house doesn't do that, but it's where you park your money and you hope that it appreciates over time.

03:15:11.000 So, you know, you just got to think about it financially.

03:15:15.000 Take your tax advantages, refinance when interest rates come down, if they do.

03:15:21.000 Set aside money for a rainy day because you're going to be, there's going to be repairs needed.

03:15:26.000 It will happen to you, I promise.

03:15:28.000 Sometimes it'll happen all at once.

03:15:30.000 Sometimes it happens kind of sporadically, but you're going to need it.

03:15:33.000 So put some money aside month over month in a fund that you can, so it's not going to break the bank, you know, when the hot water heater breaks, when the furnace breaks in the middle of winter.

03:15:43.000 Because that's going to be a huge capital expenditure.

03:15:48.000 And don't do anything without thinking about whether you're going to recoup the value.

03:15:52.000 There's going to be a time to sell it, and you're going to want to make sure that you're going to get an ROI on every dollar you put into it.

03:15:59.000 That'd be my advice.

03:16:00.000 So there you go.

03:16:03.000 There's your first time homeowner advice, but I'm by no stretch a financial genius.

03:16:08.000 These are just the very basics.

03:16:10.000 Cut your report and grow.

03:16:10.000 I percent $25.

03:16:12.000 Waited 15 minutes in line, then 10 minutes returning all my empty bottles for the cash deposit.

03:16:15.000 Every cent goes to you for the cause.

03:16:18.000 Wow.

03:16:20.000 Returning empty bottles for cash?

03:16:23.000 Well, don't give me the money that you do.

03:16:25.000 You need it more than I do.

03:16:28.000 If you're waiting in line to recycle your empty bottles to give me, I mean, that is like heartbreaking.

03:16:35.000 That's so nice and generous and it makes me feel bad.

03:16:40.000 So keep your recycled bottle.

03:16:43.000 I really appreciate that.

03:16:44.000 That's very kind of you, but please keep the 25.

03:16:49.000 It makes me feel bad.

03:16:52.000 But I do appreciate it.

03:16:53.000 Thank you very much, man.

03:16:54.000 See, some people are willing to go the distance like that.

03:16:57.000 I really appreciate it, man.

03:16:58.000 That's like that story in the Bible about the.

03:17:01.000 Old lady giving her last coin.

03:17:06.000 That breaks my heart. 0.98

03:17:08.000 Some Euro poor sweating his ass off. 1.00

03:17:10.000 There's no air conditioning. 0.98

03:17:13.000 He has to pay for water at a restaurant, collecting all his old bottles, returning them for a few bucks.

03:17:20.000 Here, this is all I have.

03:17:23.000 Come on, man.

03:17:24.000 You keep it, okay?

03:17:26.000 I appreciate it, though, buddy.

03:17:27.000 Thank you very much.

03:17:28.000 God bless you.

03:17:29.000 Detective Cheeks sent $20.

03:17:31.000 Nick, don't forget about the bees.

03:17:33.000 What about the bee?

03:17:34.000 Remember the bee thing?

03:17:36.000 You know what's funny?

03:17:38.000 I've been cooking this one up for a long time.

03:17:41.000 When I was growing up, all of this Reddit science was the purview of the left, right?

03:17:48.000 When I was growing up, all the science people, it was like potheads that were on the I fucking love science subreddit, Neil deGrasse Tyson fans, and they were all obsessed with like global warming and save the bees, right?

03:18:07.000 Sustainability.

03:18:09.000 That was the science that was in vogue.

03:18:13.000 I like Bill Nye and Stephen Colbert.

03:18:15.000 99% of scientists agree that global warming is real and save the bees.

03:18:22.000 And I'm watching, I worship, who was that physicist, that Jew that Seth MacFarlane loves?

03:18:29.000 Is it Feynman or something?

03:18:31.000 You know, the left used to worship these scientists. 1.00

03:18:35.000 And I think it was all bullshit, right? 0.99

03:18:38.000 And now here we are like 10 years later, and now. 0.99

03:18:41.000 It's all bro science.

03:18:42.000 Now the right has its own science.

03:18:45.000 It's all the Peters, Ray Pete, and it's red light and it's peptides and all this kind, right? 1.00

03:18:55.000 And most of it turns out to be bullshit too. 0.99

03:18:57.000 Microplastics, everybody said, drink your water out of a glass bottle. 0.99

03:19:02.000 And the glass bottles have more microplastics than plastic bottles.

03:19:07.000 And you could get rid of 99% of microplastics by just going to a sauna every day.

03:19:13.000 Then they said, our testosterone is lower than ever.

03:19:15.000 It's actually going up, it's higher than ever. 1.00

03:19:19.000 And, you know, they come up with all this kind of stuff, and it's all bullshit. 1.00

03:19:22.000 It's all fake. 0.99

03:19:24.000 So, the stuff about sunning your balls, it comes from one study, deeply flawed, not replicable. 0.99

03:19:32.000 So, I feel like back in the day, you had all this left wing shit save the bees, recycle, the earth is warming. 0.99

03:19:38.000 Steve Colbert said so. 0.99

03:19:40.000 Bill Nye told me so. 0.99

03:19:43.000 I fucking love science. 0.98

03:19:44.000 We're all just on a blue rock. 0.98

03:19:48.000 And now it's on the right. 0.99

03:19:49.000 On your balls, our testosterone's going down. 1.00

03:19:53.000 All that nonsense. 1.00

03:19:55.000 I just go with what's Lindy.

03:19:57.000 I just do what everybody else does.

03:19:58.000 It's not killing everybody else. 1.00

03:20:01.000 Yeah, I'm going to use deodorant, idiot. 1.00

03:20:02.000 I don't want to smell like shit. 1.00

03:20:04.000 I had a friend in high school. 0.99

03:20:05.000 His mom was like a hippie and he never used deodorant. 1.00

03:20:08.000 They bought all the natural, organic deodorant and he always smelled like ass. 1.00

03:20:15.000 It was hilarious. 0.99

03:20:16.000 His mom was one of these like crunchy granola moms. 1.00

03:20:20.000 They were as white. 0.89

03:20:21.000 He looked like John F. Kennedy. 0.88

03:20:23.000 Very handsome guy.

03:20:24.000 Parents were loaded. 0.70

03:20:26.000 He was like, this was like your prototypical crunchy granola, yuppie, rich white family. 0.99

03:20:33.000 And it was so funny because he smelled like complete ass constantly because the mom refused to buy deodorant because of aluminum. 0.99

03:20:40.000 And that was like back in 2014. 0.99

03:20:43.000 And we were like, bro, just use deodorant. 0.99

03:20:47.000 Yeah, I don't want to smell like shit all the time. 1.00

03:20:51.000 I'd rather clog up my pores with aluminum than smell like ass all the time. 0.99

03:20:55.000 So he was a nice guy, good dude, but. 1.00

03:20:59.000 He did smell like shit. 1.00

03:21:01.000 So, anyway. 1.00

03:21:03.000 I've been cooking that one up for a minute.

03:21:04.000 Oh, dude, that's so.

03:21:10.000 Oh, man. 1.00

03:21:11.000 Yeah, Sneeko's a fucking retard. 1.00

03:21:13.000 He's turning on everybody. 1.00

03:21:14.000 He turned on Fishback.

03:21:15.000 He turned on me.

03:21:16.000 He turned on Aiden Ross.

03:21:18.000 He turned on Clavicular.

03:21:22.000 Turned on Alex Jones.

03:21:24.000 He's crashing out.

03:21:25.000 Stealth Black sent $20.

03:21:26.000 A thought experiment. 1.00

03:21:27.000 You're black. 1.00

03:21:28.000 How do you fix the race? 1.00

03:21:29.000 I started mass incarceration, but stall at violence and IQ. 1.00

03:21:32.000 Hmm.

03:21:33.000 Well, you incarcerate all the violent people.

03:21:35.000 That solves the violence.

03:21:38.000 It's really tough.

03:21:38.000 I don't know what you do.

03:21:40.000 I think you really just need some kind of institutionalization.

03:21:43.000 Like the kids at an early age just need to be taught to be better.

03:21:48.000 And the problem is the parents can't help them out of it because the parents aren't any better than the kids.

03:21:54.000 It's kids being raised with no father, they have no chance.

03:21:57.000 Then they go to some school and.

03:22:00.000 And the schools are chaotic. 0.92

03:22:02.000 So I don't even know what you do without sounding like Hitler. 0.62

03:22:11.000 And I don't mean genociding people, but I don't know how you fix that problem unless there's just like an intervention that interrupts the cycle. 0.79

03:22:20.000 And that would involve taking away a lot of liberties.

03:22:23.000 But the way it is, you can't fix it.

03:22:26.000 These kids go home to a single mom, it's gangbangers in the neighborhood. 0.99

03:22:29.000 They go to school, the school's a zoo. 1.00

03:22:31.000 What hope do these kids have?

03:22:33.000 They have no chance.

03:22:33.000 They have no hope.

03:22:35.000 They're going to regress to the mean anyway.

03:22:38.000 So, I mean, first, you would just need brutal law.

03:22:41.000 You just need to, unfortunately, imprison as many of these problematic people as possible.

03:22:46.000 Just get them away from the ones that are not violent, get them away from society.

03:22:51.000 And then maybe it can begin to fix itself.

03:22:53.000 But I think a more radical intervention is necessary.

03:23:11.000 Thank you very much for the mods.

03:23:13.000 I'll make sure it gets to them.

03:23:14.000 I'll make sure they receive it in full.

03:23:17.000 Appreciate it.

03:23:18.000 All lovers sent $20.

03:23:19.000 Watching Bishop Williamson, and he's like an 80 years old you.

03:23:21.000 It's so true when he says the modern world is so devoid of God.

03:23:29.000 That's the hot take.

03:23:31.000 Dude, when he said the world doesn't have God anymore, oh, that was so true.

03:23:35.000 It's like, whoa, hot take. 0.99

03:23:44.000 What's your view on the rising conversion rate from new Catholics?

03:23:46.000 Is it really high or exaggerated?

03:23:49.000 It's high, but I think we're exaggerating how much it's growing.

03:23:54.000 It's definitely higher than it was, but the church is still dying, in my view.

03:23:58.000 So, you know, you don't want to.

03:24:01.000 You don't want to black pill about it.

03:24:03.000 It's good that it's rising, but I do think it's overstated a lot.

03:24:06.000 Judge Holden Caulfield sent $20.

03:24:07.000 Philly loves you.

03:24:09.000 Philly loves me.

03:24:10.000 Did I get recognized when I was there?

03:24:11.000 Not really, but I wasn't really out and about.

03:24:15.000 So, yeah.

03:24:18.000 Clumpy Groyper sent $20.

03:24:18.000 I love Philly.

03:24:21.000 What is your favorite brand of TP?

03:24:23.000 Also, love your show.

03:24:24.000 Not as fun while bait, though.

03:24:25.000 Okay, so that's just bait.

03:24:26.000 Thanks for that.

03:24:28.000 You know what I hate is when, not to be gross or whatever, but.

03:24:32.000 You know what really bugs me?

03:24:34.000 A friend of mine, he has toilet paper that's like single ply.

03:24:39.000 And I almost want to say, like, listen, dude, like, I'll pay for it.

03:24:42.000 I'll buy you new toilet paper, but it's like, I can't use your bathroom. 1.00

03:24:47.000 He's like a Jew. 1.00

03:24:48.000 He's not Jewish, but he's as stingy as a Jew. 1.00

03:24:51.000 I go to my buddy's house, he has single ply toilet paper. 1.00

03:24:54.000 I'm like, what am I supposed to do with this?

03:24:56.000 Do you have any like hand towels?

03:24:58.000 Can I use this bath towel instead?

03:24:59.000 Do you have any tissues?

03:25:03.000 I'll burn them after using them, but like, I can't.

03:25:06.000 It's like, dude, I'll buy them for you.

03:25:08.000 I'll buy you some new.

03:25:10.000 How does anyone use that?

03:25:13.000 It's actually crazy.

03:25:17.000 He's like, well, that's the cheapest one.

03:25:18.000 I'm like, you need help.

03:25:19.000 Like, you need to be institutionalized.

03:25:24.000 It's, yeah.

03:25:26.000 Grizzle sent $50.

03:25:27.000 I also found you after Kirk's murder.

03:25:29.000 A theme.

03:25:29.000 Research is.

03:25:30.000 But thank you for the huge super chat.

03:25:32.000 Or did I.

03:25:33.000 I didn't even read.

03:25:34.000 Why did this one go right through?

03:25:36.000 Giga Groy per Leo sent $150.

03:25:38.000 My contribution for an armored escalade.

03:25:40.000 I run projects for a builder in Chicago slash North Shore specializing in modern construction. 0.99

03:25:43.000 Very easy to lose your ass building one of these. 0.99

03:25:45.000 Many difficult details. 1.00

03:25:46.000 Not for any truck in a truck.

03:25:47.000 I can help you find the right architect and builder. 0.99

03:25:49.000 Damn it. 0.99

03:25:50.000 Yeah, that's the problem, it's too expensive, I think. 1.00

03:25:54.000 I asked Claude, I said, how much to build a 2,000 square foot brutalist house?

03:26:00.000 And it said like $2 million. 1.00

03:26:02.000 I was like, what the fuck? 0.99

03:26:05.000 So. 0.99

03:26:06.000 Because I guess they say it requires like a perfect pour for the concrete.

03:26:13.000 Because the exterior is concrete, you have to get it right the first time.

03:26:18.000 So the pour has to be extremely precise and you can't fuck it up.

03:26:22.000 So they say it requires this intense specialization and specialized architect and everything.

03:26:31.000 Hit me up on Twitter, please.

03:26:31.000 But hit me up.

03:26:33.000 Because I'd be interested in just even talking about it, even if we can't get it.

03:26:38.000 But I appreciate the big super chat, the armored escalade.

03:26:41.000 Man, I need one of those.

03:26:44.000 I need an armored car.

03:26:46.000 I always wanted like a brutalist monument in the ghetto so that people, I say, like, yeah, just come over to my house and they're like afraid to stand outside.

03:26:55.000 And it's like I'm in Iraq. 0.51

03:26:59.000 You know, I fly out of my garage going 70 miles an hour in an armored car, IED proof Humvee or something.

03:27:07.000 That'd be kind of sick.

03:27:09.000 Yeah, but let me know.

03:27:10.000 That would be kind of interesting.

03:27:11.000 Grizzle sent $50.

03:27:12.000 I also found you after Kirk's murder.

03:27:13.000 A theme.

03:27:14.000 Research is boring, but wonder how many you awoke from that.

03:27:16.000 God bless you.

03:27:20.000 Research is boring.

03:27:20.000 How many you awoke from that?

03:27:22.000 What do you mean?

03:27:23.000 I'm not sure what you mean, but I appreciate it.

03:27:25.000 Yeah, I mean, it's sensationalism.

03:27:29.000 And the problem is, these people are just unthinking.

03:27:32.000 It's just they do these things compulsively or impulsively.

03:27:37.000 For them, they just intuitively know what is going to get the most engagement.

03:27:41.000 And so they just go for a sensational, extreme.

03:27:44.000 Like I said, they're like a rodent pushing a button for a treat.

03:27:49.000 That's all they know how to do. 0.99

03:27:50.000 Giga based girl sent $20. 0.99

03:27:52.000 I've sent support tickets for my $200 April order as you say to do. 0.88

03:27:55.000 W no response.

03:27:56.000 Even tried the phone hash on the site and it's disconnected.

03:27:58.000 Okay.

03:27:59.000 File another support. 0.99

03:28:01.000 Listen, give me your fucking order number. 0.99

03:28:05.000 How else can I help you? 1.00

03:28:08.000 Just give me your order number or something. 0.87

03:28:11.000 I want to kill the people that do my merch when I hear that because it's like, why do I have to hear about it? 0.98

03:28:21.000 How am I even going to? 0.99

03:28:22.000 I'm going to look up Giga Based Girl in the fucking archive. 0.99

03:28:25.000 Like, just send me your support number. 0.99

03:28:27.000 I'll figure it out, okay? 1.00

03:28:30.000 For fuck's sake, man, and never. 0.99

03:28:31.000 Don't sell $100. 1.00

03:28:32.000 I can't move in the political world, but I can in psychiatry.

03:28:35.000 Others are moving in ancillary fields.

03:28:36.000 Power and influence in other fields will contribute when needed.

03:28:39.000 In psychiatry?

03:28:41.000 I don't know if that's going to help, but I appreciate the big super chat.

03:28:43.000 I don't know what psychiatrist, but look, we need lawyers.

03:28:46.000 We need money.

03:28:47.000 We need businessmen with money. 0.62

03:28:49.000 We need lawyers.

03:28:50.000 We need accountants.

03:28:53.000 We need fundraisers, organizers, psychiatrists.

03:28:57.000 I can promise you that's not going to come until the very end.

03:29:04.000 That is interesting, isn't it?

03:29:10.000 Have any of them opined on this yet?

03:29:12.000 My Wi Fi's Mossad sent $22. 1.00

03:29:14.000 Catholic Arabs support you. 0.81

03:29:15.000 We were talking about the movement after Mass. 0.79

03:29:18.000 I have no problem with the Catholic ones because the Catholic ones will defer that America's a Christian country and to propriety in general. 0.78

03:29:18.000 Let's go. 0.78

03:29:28.000 So God bless.

03:29:29.000 Deputy Chief Croy percent $20.

03:29:30.000 Would God really instruct an illiterate cave dweller to grape a nine year old?

03:29:33.000 The same God told Sneaky to bring Baby Bell.

03:29:35.000 Yeah, Allah told him in a dream to bring those Baby Bell cheeses.

03:29:40.000 Allah dictated it to him.

03:29:42.000 Go forth, acquire the Baby Bell cheese sack. 0.97

03:29:49.000 Dude, that was really funny.

03:29:50.000 I come down, he's got the sack of Baby Bell cheeses. 0.99

03:29:54.000 I'm like, what the fuck is that? 0.99

03:29:55.000 He's like, it's wine and cheese. 0.99

03:29:57.000 I'm like, you're going to a billionaire's Thanksgiving bringing Baby Bell cheeses?

03:30:02.000 I think when people say cheese and wine, they mean like artisanal cheese.

03:30:07.000 From, like, a charcuterie board that they'll get at a deli, not Baby Bell.

03:30:11.000 That's like saying it's wine and cheese.

03:30:13.000 Look, I brought mozzarella sticks.

03:30:15.000 I don't think they mean like string cheese and Baby Bell cheeses and wax coating.

03:30:19.000 I think they mean like artisanal imported cheeses.

03:30:27.000 Baby Bell. 0.96

03:30:29.000 He's so black, bro. 1.00

03:30:32.000 Shit, nigga. 1.00

03:30:33.000 You said cheese. 1.00

03:30:34.000 I brought the cheese.

03:30:37.000 What's wrong with this?

03:30:38.000 It's cheese, ain't it?

03:30:42.000 I guess, Tyrone, it's the thought that counts.

03:30:46.000 I guess.

03:30:48.000 Scorsese Babadetti sent $20.

03:30:49.000 You say in every interview that the only way to be saved is through the church.

03:30:51.000 False.

03:30:52.000 You confess and believe in your heart and pray to Jesus. 1.00

03:30:54.000 Nick, you are the chosen one, but a Catholic bot. 0.94

03:30:54.000 True. 0.94

03:30:56.000 Sneezing face emoji.

03:30:59.000 And you confess to a priest.

03:31:02.000 Where did Jesus Christ tell people that all you have to do is in your mind say, hey, I'm sorry?

03:31:08.000 Where does that happen in the gospel?

03:31:11.000 Because I can recall a few instances where sins are forgiven, and that's where people go to Christ, and that's where people go to the apostles.

03:31:19.000 Christ says, I bind and loose sins here in real life.

03:31:23.000 And Christ tells the apostles, You have this power too.

03:31:27.000 The apostles also have the power to bind and loose sins.

03:31:32.000 Who baptized Christ?

03:31:33.000 Did he just go in the water and say, I'm baptized?

03:31:35.000 Or did Christ get baptized by a priest?

03:31:40.000 The reason there's no path to salvation without the church is because only the church has the power to administer the sacraments.

03:31:49.000 The church alone, through Christ, has the authority to administer the sacraments a baptism of the Eucharist and of reconciliation.

03:32:02.000 That's how you get to heaven.

03:32:03.000 You get baptized, you receive the bread of life, and you repent for your sins.

03:32:07.000 This is how you get to heaven.

03:32:10.000 You can't do it without the sacraments.

03:32:12.000 And who other than a priest is going to transform the bread into the body?

03:32:16.000 Who other than the priest has the authority from Christ to bind and loose sins?

03:32:21.000 Who other than the church has the authority to baptize?

03:32:24.000 It's not out there.

03:32:26.000 So, you know, and it only just makes common sense.

03:32:30.000 Without the church to be the guardian of scripture and the guardian of the repository of tradition and interpretation, without the church to administer the sacraments, it's just a free for all.

03:32:44.000 We're going to trust every other person to read the Bible and just say, hey, whatever you think it means, it's really up to you. 0.62

03:32:51.000 And that's how you get a female bishop of Canterbury. 0.69

03:32:55.000 And that's how you get transgender pastors. 1.00

03:32:57.000 And that's how you get all the bullshit that goes on in the Protestant sex. 1.00

03:33:00.000 How's that going, by the way? 1.00

03:33:02.000 All these Protestants say, oh, you don't need the church. 0.99

03:33:05.000 You don't need that.

03:33:06.000 We could just do it on our own.

03:33:07.000 Really? 1.00

03:33:08.000 How's that going for all these Protestants that have transgender priests?

03:33:12.000 How's that going for the Bishop of Canterbury that's a woman?

03:33:17.000 Hmm? 0.99

03:33:18.000 How's that going?

03:33:20.000 And what authority do you have to say that they're wrong?

03:33:22.000 When they're handing out A little Dixie cup of Arizona iced tea and a Skittle in honor of Trayvon Martin at a Protestant church.

03:33:32.000 By what authority do you say they have it wrong? 0.60

03:33:36.000 They think that's what they think it is.

03:33:38.000 They read the same Bible.

03:33:39.000 That's what they think it is.

03:33:40.000 Who are you to say otherwise?

03:33:42.000 On what authority?

03:33:45.000 Well, the Holy Spirit, really?

03:33:46.000 How do you know?

03:33:48.000 How do you know?

03:33:49.000 Because what if they say, well, the Holy Spirit told me it's a Skittle and a Dixie cup full of Arizona iced tea? 0.76

03:33:55.000 The Holy Spirit told me that Jesus was queer.

03:33:58.000 The Holy Spirit told me that we can have a transgender pastor.

03:34:01.000 Who's, you know, the Holy Spirit's talking to everybody.

03:34:05.000 It's subjective.

03:34:08.000 The Holy Spirit descended in the book of Acts, and it was led by the apostles.

03:34:17.000 Okay?

03:34:18.000 The apostles were the ones administering the sacraments, converting everybody.

03:34:23.000 So it just doesn't work.

03:34:26.000 This other system you're talking about where you say, And if you really believe, and with a tiny bit of magic, everyone can go to heaven. 0.98

03:34:34.000 That's not what the Bible says, and that doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't fucking work.

03:34:40.000 That's why every other church has to schism and schism and schism, and you've got, you know, Reformed this, and Missouri this, and this, that, and these were, I'm a Seventh day Adventist from this thing, and I'm a this one and that one. 0.92

03:34:55.000 That's why there are 10,000 Protestant sects, and none of them can agree. 0.71

03:34:58.000 And either everybody, You know, as long as they're doing what they think is right, it's going to go to heaven, or 99% of them are going to hell. 0.76

03:35:05.000 And there's one obscure church over here that has it right for some reason.

03:35:09.000 There's one like Reformed Baptist Church of West Texas, the Second Division. 0.99

03:35:16.000 They're the only ones that have it right. 0.98

03:35:18.000 Everyone else is going to hell.

03:35:20.000 Doesn't work.

03:35:22.000 So you're just wrong.

03:35:24.000 The way that you're saved, am I wrong?

03:35:26.000 The way that you're saved is through the sacraments.

03:35:29.000 You have to be baptized.

03:35:31.000 You have to believe in Scripture.

03:35:33.000 You have to believe the right things.

03:35:35.000 You have to receive the Eucharist.

03:35:36.000 You have to receive the bread of life.

03:35:37.000 This is my body given up for you.

03:35:39.000 You have to eat the bread of life.

03:35:42.000 You have to be forgiven for your sins.

03:35:45.000 How do you know?

03:35:47.000 The only way that you know is if you get the sacraments from the church.

03:35:52.000 Otherwise, you don't know.

03:35:54.000 The church created the canon, the church created the creed, the church administers the sacraments, the church is the repository of our sacred tradition and the mass and the rest of it.

03:36:06.000 You leave the church, you have none of that.

03:36:10.000 So, the best way to get into heaven is to receive the sacraments from the church.

03:36:14.000 I'm not going to say no one else is going to go to heaven.

03:36:16.000 I mean, I assume some other people go to heaven. 0.55

03:36:20.000 But if you want to increase your chances, you have to become Catholic. 0.87

03:36:24.000 That's it. 0.89

03:36:25.000 Okay, pal.

03:36:27.000 You just believe in your heart.

03:36:29.000 Yeah, of course, you have to have faith, hope, and charity.

03:36:33.000 Without the fruits of the Spirit, you don't get to heaven.

03:36:35.000 But, you know, the sacraments are going to get you there.

03:36:38.000 So. 1.00

03:36:40.000 Poop sucks sent $20. 0.99

03:36:42.000 First time message, but been watching for about eight months now. 0.99

03:36:44.000 Love the clips, but the show is way better. 0.97

03:36:46.000 I've told at least 10 people that talk shit to check your show, and now they get it. 0.91

03:36:50.000 Thanks a lot, man. 0.99

03:36:50.000 Yeah, that's the thing. 0.99

03:36:51.000 It's like, look, the clips are always taken out of context.

03:36:54.000 The clips are always, you know, 20% of what I'm really saying.

03:36:58.000 It's the captions will poison the perception of the clip, too.

03:37:04.000 I think people watch the show and they totally get it.

03:37:06.000 They watch the show and they say, oh, he's explaining the whole thing.

03:37:10.000 They get the tone and the tenor of the message.

03:37:13.000 When you see the clip, you go, what is this?

03:37:15.000 Like, what is this guy's problem?

03:37:17.000 So I'm glad to hear that.

03:37:19.000 Appreciate it.

03:37:20.000 Goy Fatigue sent $150.

03:37:21.000 First ever Super Chat.

03:37:22.000 Just wanted to say that I have Goyim fatigue.

03:37:24.000 Me too, man. 0.98

03:37:25.000 Seriously.

03:37:26.000 Thank you for the huge super chat.

03:37:27.000 I appreciate it. 0.97

03:37:28.000 Serious Goyim fatigue. 1.00

03:37:31.000 Honestly, we have to emulate the Jews. 1.00

03:37:34.000 The Jews, listen, in many ways, the Jews have it figured out.

03:37:40.000 And we have to emulate them. 0.74

03:37:43.000 Not morally, but in how they move. 1.00

03:37:46.000 The way the Jews move, they're so much smarter than us, stupid Goyim. 1.00

03:37:51.000 The way they stick together, the way they help each other, the way they focus on what matters, they're learned. 1.00

03:37:57.000 They arranged each other's marriages.

03:37:59.000 They get married.

03:38:00.000 They have kids.

03:38:01.000 They learned their holy books.

03:38:03.000 They learned the history.

03:38:05.000 They learned the esoteric, mystical stuff as well as the legalistic, ritualistic stuff.

03:38:12.000 I mean, they have figured it out. 0.99

03:38:13.000 And us white people, we don't have a fucking clue. 1.00

03:38:17.000 White people are on 4chan. 1.00

03:38:20.000 The Jews are studying the ancient scriptures. 1.00

03:38:22.000 The Jews are studying the ancient tradition. 0.60

03:38:23.000 The Jews are studying the mystical tradition.

03:38:26.000 The Jews are learning and teaching each other finance, helping each other. 1.00

03:38:30.000 They're like a fucking unit, man. 1.00

03:38:32.000 They're a team. 1.00

03:38:35.000 And us stupid white people are on 4chan getting in Twitter drama. 1.00

03:38:39.000 Fucking, this fucking guy works for the Jews. 1.00

03:38:41.000 This fucking guy's a fed. 1.00

03:38:43.000 I saw a thing on 4chan. 1.00

03:38:44.000 Really?

03:38:45.000 It says Hitler. 1.00

03:38:48.000 So ignorant. 1.00

03:38:49.000 So weak. 1.00

03:38:51.000 Divided. 1.00

03:38:55.000 We need to, you know, in some ways, I don't think we'll ever be able to be like the Jews. 1.00

03:38:58.000 We have to be like Rome. 1.00

03:39:02.000 I'm beginning to think that, like, the Jews can operate a certain way that we cannot. 1.00

03:39:07.000 So we have to be different. 0.99

03:39:10.000 We maybe need a Roman mentality, which is maybe like embracing contradictions, universal ideologies that can marshal huge amounts of men and huge armies.

03:39:23.000 You know, like that, maybe that's the idea.

03:39:26.000 But anyway, I agree.

03:39:27.000 Sasuke Groy per cent, $20.

03:39:29.000 Thanks.

03:39:30.000 Come shot, Groy per 67 cent, $20.

03:39:37.000 No more games we need to lock in for 2026.

03:39:40.000 Glad to hear it.

03:40:05.000 Damn. 0.99

03:40:06.000 No, I did not hear that. 1.00

03:40:10.000 The good thing is that flows out.

03:40:13.000 The good thing is, we reverse the flow of the river because we're masters of the universe.

03:40:18.000 Italians are the master of the universe. 1.00

03:40:20.000 We reverse the flow of the river. 1.00

03:40:22.000 It's an engineering marvel.

03:40:23.000 So we'll just dump it somewhere else.

03:40:26.000 I did not hear that, but yeah, that's crazy.

03:40:28.000 It places a dump, man.

03:40:30.000 Stickney, Midway, Cicero.

03:40:33.000 It's rough, rough over there.

03:40:35.000 But I appreciate the super chat.

03:40:36.000 Nickerboy sent $20, going seething, heart pounding, waiting on Nick like Sneeko, waiting for his girl outside the bedroom door.

03:40:41.000 Okay, chill out.

03:40:42.000 Kevin Faddy sent $1,000.

03:40:43.000 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

03:40:44.000 Victory handy moji.

03:40:45.000 Thank you for the huge super chat.

03:40:47.000 I really appreciate it.

03:40:48.000 Femina Fides, one of our favorite groy bats.

03:40:51.000 God bless you.

03:40:52.000 We appreciate all the support.

03:40:54.000 Thanks for the words of encouragement.

03:40:56.000 It's true.

03:40:58.000 You could say I'm as strong as they come because, man, people keep trying to kill me.

03:41:03.000 People are on a mission to kill me, literally and figuratively. 1.00

03:41:08.000 Niggas outside my house trying to kill me, niggas trying to crush my spirit. 1.00

03:41:14.000 Zerka had a really good tweet about this. 1.00

03:41:16.000 It's something like, that's not always true.

03:41:19.000 Or maybe it was Nietzsche.

03:41:21.000 No, sometimes it leaves you very wounded.

03:41:25.000 Sometimes some things, even if they don't kill you, they severely wound you and you need to do a lot of reflection to overcome.

03:41:34.000 It's not always the case.

03:41:36.000 I don't even think that's true.

03:41:38.000 It can be.

03:41:40.000 But some people just get taken out of the game.

03:41:42.000 Some people, bad things happen to them and they just never recover.

03:41:47.000 Bad things happen to them and they just check out.

03:41:50.000 They're done.

03:41:52.000 They let it define them.

03:41:54.000 They let it overcome them.

03:41:56.000 They check out.

03:41:57.000 They become apathetic.

03:41:59.000 It's not always the case.

03:42:00.000 It takes a remarkable kind of person to keep coming back and coming back and getting back up.

03:42:07.000 So it can.

03:42:08.000 What doesn't kill you can make you stronger, but it doesn't only or always make you stronger.

03:42:13.000 Sometimes it destroys a person.

03:42:17.000 So that's why you got to dig deep.

03:42:18.000 That's why I'm a big believer in pain.

03:42:23.000 That's why I'm a big believer in pain.

03:42:26.000 We only learn through pain.

03:42:29.000 But in order to feel pain, that's why you can't numb yourself.

03:42:32.000 That's a big reason I don't do drugs, alcohol, because I really believe in you have to feel life in every waking moment.

03:42:38.000 It doesn't count otherwise.

03:42:40.000 You have to feel the boredom, feel the monotony, the despair, the loneliness, the disappointment.

03:42:47.000 You have to feel it, all of it, all the time.

03:42:51.000 And sometimes it's unbearable.

03:42:54.000 And you have to live in it.

03:42:56.000 And that's the only thing that makes you more of a man.

03:42:59.000 That's the only thing that builds character.

03:43:00.000 That's the only thing that drives you to do great things.

03:43:04.000 And you'll find the people that never do anything great, the people that are not impressive, they're the people that can't handle the pain.

03:43:11.000 They can't handle the fear.

03:43:13.000 They can't face fear.

03:43:15.000 They can't cope with pain because they choose not to inhabit it.

03:43:20.000 They choose to try to get around it.

03:43:23.000 And you can't do that in life.

03:43:25.000 That's why I'm a big believer in no matter what, you just have to face it.

03:43:30.000 You just have to shove your face in it, pause.

03:43:34.000 So that's my advice.

03:43:38.000 That's my advice.

03:43:39.000 If something horrible happens to you, good.

03:43:43.000 You should thank God for all the horrible things that happen to you because every tragedy, every horrible thing, every disappointment, it's one of those things actually that brings you closer to God, I think.

03:43:59.000 And some people might say, well, it's easy for you to say or it's flippant or something, but that is how you have to look at it.

03:44:05.000 There's no other way to look at it.

03:44:07.000 St. Louis Grow Hyper sent $25.

03:44:08.000 To be fair, Candace Owens only claimed to know, not know, know, who killed Charlie Kirk.

03:44:16.000 She didn't say we know, know, but we know.

03:44:16.000 That's right.

03:44:19.000 She only claimed to know.

03:44:19.000 You're right.

03:44:20.000 Rusty Spoo sent $20.

03:44:21.000 How can local politician Grow Hyper in Deep Blue Cities make an impact?

03:44:25.000 Are you a local politician in a Deep Blue City? 0.62

03:44:29.000 Try to create a political career. 0.95

03:44:32.000 That's all you can do, just try to advance yourself, move up the ladder, confer benefits upon people that you know.

03:44:40.000 Try to organize, try to get people jobs.

03:44:42.000 If you have to ask that, you're just not in the right place.

03:44:46.000 Politics is the art of the possible.

03:44:49.000 Always using everything you have, looking for every opportunity, making the best play.

03:44:53.000 If you don't have the ability to do that, you shouldn't be a politician.

03:44:56.000 So if you have to ask me, you probably don't have the skill set.

03:45:00.000 A natural born politician will always be able to identify the way to get to the next level and what they need to do to get there.

03:45:09.000 So it's like, how do I do it?

03:45:10.000 What do I do?

03:45:11.000 You shouldn't be a line cook. 1.00

03:45:13.000 You should wash dishes because that's that mentality.

03:45:17.000 So, what do I do now?

03:45:18.000 I washed the dishes.

03:45:18.000 Now, what do I do?

03:45:20.000 I finished all the side work.

03:45:22.000 There's no more customers.

03:45:22.000 Now, what do I do?

03:45:23.000 Now, what do I do?

03:45:27.000 You should be able, a local politician should be full of ideas how they can create advantages for themselves and their team.

03:45:35.000 Create sinecures, create funds that benefit your people, create a base of support, identify the next office you're going to run for and try to work for it.

03:45:43.000 Make connections. 0.98

03:45:44.000 Make connections to industries, business leaders, like, this is just the beginning, fuckface. 0.99

03:45:50.000 I hate questions like this. 0.97

03:45:52.000 How can I make an impact?

03:45:53.000 What should I do?

03:45:56.000 The answer is more. 1.00

03:45:58.000 You are a shit eating loser if you don't know that the answer is always more. 1.00

03:46:07.000 A good politician, a good businessman will always identify opportunities to accumulate more. 1.00

03:46:15.000 More, better, the next thing, the next rung on the ladder, the next most powerful person they can get in a room with, the next most powerful ally.

03:46:25.000 How do I reward the people that got me here?

03:46:27.000 How do I earn more allies?

03:46:29.000 How do I punish and destroy my enemies?

03:46:32.000 How can I get more media attention?

03:46:34.000 How can I get more influence, more money, more power?

03:46:39.000 Answer is more.

03:46:41.000 You're in a position of influence and power.

03:46:44.000 You should immediately be able to identify the favors that you can.

03:46:49.000 Administer.

03:46:51.000 Identify the levers of power that you control, what you can trade those for, what you need to get to the next level, and how you can get it.

03:47:00.000 That's what a politician needs to know how to do.

03:47:02.000 That's what an entrepreneur needs to know how to do.

03:47:05.000 If you can't do that, leave.

03:47:08.000 Do something else.

03:47:10.000 How can I make an impact?

03:47:12.000 What can I do?

03:47:14.000 Anyone that asks that should just be a worker.

03:47:17.000 Anyone who does that should just be an employee.

03:47:19.000 Someone in the live chat says, This sounds Jewish. 1.00

03:47:22.000 Yeah, case in point.

03:47:23.000 Go be a farmer.

03:47:25.000 Case in point, go get a job.

03:47:29.000 If you are one of these people that needs to be told what to do, get a job.

03:47:33.000 Honestly, go get a job.

03:47:38.000 The masters of the universe are people that create ideas and say, I'm going to tell you what's possible.

03:47:45.000 I'm going to do something unprecedented.

03:47:47.000 I'm going to create a new thing.

03:47:51.000 I'm going to find a way to do something that no one else figured out how to do before.

03:47:54.000 No one told me, no one gave me the playbook.

03:47:56.000 I just figured it out.

03:47:58.000 Because I have that instinct to see and see in between the lines.

03:48:05.000 Not a lot of people like that, but that's true.

03:48:06.000 AF Archive sent $50.

03:51:18.000 I thrive in the dark.

03:51:20.000 That's when I wake up.

03:51:22.000 I like when it's cold out.

03:51:24.000 I like the way it smells when it's freezing cold out.

03:51:32.000 It's honestly just cope.

03:51:35.000 It's honestly cope from people that are basically like a human pair of basketball shorts, human pair of gym shorts. 0.94

03:51:44.000 It's like if you are refined in any way, if you care about your looks, if you care about anything, oh, that's gay, that's gay. 1.00

03:58:43.000 Chromey Angel sent $30.

03:58:44.000 With the recent news about the Save Act, why do you think Trump 1 and 2 has been so legislatively awful?

03:58:47.000 Does he just not care?

03:58:48.000 He just has no motion.

03:58:50.000 He's just not a master of the Congress like other presidents have been.

03:58:55.000 You know, he just doesn't use it.

03:59:05.000 Asadowski sent $30.

03:59:06.000 Absolutely incredible show.

03:59:07.000 Every month, I think you have had your best stream yet, and it gets better.

03:59:09.000 Got into a GOP campaign.

03:59:11.000 Wow.

03:59:11.000 Thank you, man.

03:59:12.000 Glad you like this show.

03:59:14.000 Right on.

03:59:16.000 Good for you, man.

03:59:19.000 Exactly.

03:59:19.000 Iowa, New Hampshire.

03:59:22.000 Thanks, Nick.

03:59:22.000 Great show.

03:59:25.000 Thanks.

03:59:27.000 I don't know, scuffed realtors. 0.77

03:59:28.000 How do you think our newly relation with Turkey will impact their decision to let the Kurds join the war knowing they are next? 0.78

03:59:36.000 It's hard to say.

03:59:37.000 I don't think it will cause too much drama because the. 0.97

03:59:40.000 It seems like the Kurdish problem has almost been solved. 0.97

03:59:45.000 The. 1.00

03:59:47.000 Rohingya, what is it? 0.99

03:59:48.000 Rojava.

03:59:49.000 Rojava has bent the knee to Damascus and the PKK has been disarmed. 0.93

03:59:55.000 So, Turkey, it seems like their Kurd problem has been solved for now. 0.90

04:00:02.000 Because it used to be the case that the Kurdish Workers' Party was the scourge of Turkey.

04:00:09.000 They voluntarily disarmed, I think, was it last year, two years ago?

04:00:12.000 And Rojava, which is the Kurdish Syrian state, which is forming northeast of the Euphrates, they have submitted to Damascus and this new.

04:00:24.000 Government of Al Shara.

04:00:27.000 So it seems like that's not as much of a problem.

04:00:29.000 So I don't know if they'll really have an issue going forward.

04:00:32.000 We don't have any mods in this live chat room.

04:00:34.000 We don't have any mods in this live chat room.

04:00:38.000 Thank you, man.

04:00:39.000 Young Hamstring sent $20.

04:00:39.000 Appreciate it.

04:00:41.000 Have you talked to Sam Hyde's buddy Nick Rochefort, scuffed realtor, about finding a place?

04:00:44.000 Oh, that's Nick Rochefort?

04:00:46.000 No, no.

04:00:47.000 Of course I know Nick Rochefort.

04:00:48.000 I love him.

04:00:50.000 But no.

04:00:51.000 No, why would that?

04:00:54.000 They're out in New England, right?

04:00:55.000 I'm in Chicago.

04:00:56.000 So I don't know if they know the market over here.

04:01:00.000 Also, I have a realtor.

04:01:02.000 Have you talked to the e-celeb realtor?

04:01:04.000 Like, no, I have a realtor also.

04:01:06.000 No, but I'd like to talk to him.

04:01:07.000 I've been a huge fan of him and Sam's forever.

04:01:09.000 So, but no, I haven't.

04:01:12.000 That's just crazy.

04:01:12.000 Have you talked to the other e-celeb that talks about houses to find a house?

04:01:17.000 I have a realtor.

04:01:18.000 Did a grow up for $20?

04:01:19.000 If an authoritarian got into power, how would they go about invading Europe? 1.00

04:01:22.000 Okay, just kill yourself. 1.00

04:01:22.000 Which country first? 1.00

04:01:23.000 I just want to have $20.

04:01:25.000 Rousseau has responded to your criticism.

04:01:26.000 Seems like a genuine guy.

04:01:27.000 If you don't recommend that path, but do you oppose them?

04:01:30.000 I talked about it last week.

04:01:31.000 Jackson's legionary sent $20.

04:01:32.000 Hey.

04:01:33.000 He seems like a genuine guy.

04:01:34.000 What makes you say that?

04:01:35.000 Because he's like acting congenial on an interview. 1.00

04:01:38.000 You guys are so dumb. 1.00

04:01:40.000 You're so dumb. 1.00

04:01:41.000 You're so dumb. 1.00

04:01:43.000 It's crazy. 1.00

04:01:44.000 He seems genuine.

04:01:46.000 What seems genuine?

04:01:48.000 That he's media trained?

04:01:49.000 Maybe he is.

04:01:50.000 I don't know because I don't know him.

04:01:53.000 How can you know if someone is genuine if you don't know them?

04:01:57.000 He seems genuine.

04:01:59.000 What seems genuine?

04:02:00.000 People can act genuine.

04:02:03.000 He was genuine, what?

04:02:04.000 When he had a camera right here and he was in an interview and he was deeply self conscious that he needs to present an amicable image, a congenial image?

04:02:20.000 Seems genuine. 1.00

04:02:21.000 This is why people vote for politicians, because it's like, you guys are fucking retarded. 1.00

04:02:26.000 Seems like a nice guy. 1.00

04:02:27.000 Yeah, that's their job. 1.00

04:02:29.000 The public facing ambassador of any organization, it's their fucking job. 0.99

04:02:34.000 To seem genuine. 0.98

04:02:36.000 Whether they seem genuine actually has no relationship with whether they are genuine or not. 1.00

04:02:44.000 Ugh, it makes me want to vomit how stupid you people are sometimes. 1.00

04:02:48.000 He seems genuine. 1.00

04:02:49.000 He seems like he's coming around.

04:02:51.000 Yeah, that's their job.

04:02:54.000 And again, I'm not saying he's not genuine.

04:02:56.000 Maybe he's genuine.

04:02:56.000 I don't know.

04:02:57.000 I don't know the man.

04:02:58.000 I've never talked to him.

04:02:59.000 But if someone seems genuine, that's not enough because, like I said, If your job is public relations, your job is to seem genuine.

04:03:09.000 It's a skill.

04:10:04.000 I didn't like it either.

04:10:05.000 I was your age once.

04:10:13.000 There's not much you can do when you're 16.

04:10:15.000 You're just too young.

04:10:17.000 I'm going to tell you, this is the best advice.

04:10:28.000 If I were you and I'm 16, it's really more about what you do not do.

04:10:32.000 No drugs, no alcohol. 1.00

04:10:35.000 Don't get a girl pregnant. 1.00

04:10:36.000 As a matter of fact, don't fuck around with women at all. 1.00

04:10:39.000 Waste of time. 1.00

04:10:41.000 Okay.

04:10:41.000 You might do some, listen, young love, young romance, it's one of the best things in life.

04:10:46.000 It's not the worst thing, but you can't get too wrapped up in that.

04:10:51.000 Easiest way for a guy to lose focus is to get wrapped up with a girl.

04:10:55.000 And then that becomes their life.

04:10:57.000 Then they just think, if only I had a girlfriend in my life. 1.00

04:11:00.000 And then they're just working some stupid job for the rest of their life. 1.00

04:11:03.000 You got to put yourself first. 1.00

04:11:05.000 Put yourself first, put the work first, put the grind first, women will come. 1.00

04:11:11.000 If a guy has his own world, is on a mission, has motion, women are easy to come by if that's what you are. 1.00

04:11:18.000 But if you are some sucker ass pussy worshiping women, it's the most repelling thing of all. 1.00

04:11:24.000 So you got to have your own world. 1.00

04:11:26.000 Those are the things you do not do no drugs, no alcohol, none of that.

04:11:32.000 Do not do anything criminal. 0.98

04:11:34.000 Those are the easiest ways to fuck up your life. 0.98

04:11:37.000 You think, hey, I'm going to high school. 0.99

04:11:39.000 What can I do?

04:11:42.000 Your friends that are fucking around with drugs and alcohol, your friends that are fucking around doing stupid stuff, criminal stuff, it's not harmless. 1.00

04:11:50.000 It will ruin your life. 1.00

04:11:52.000 People that have ambitions don't do that.

04:11:55.000 I was like that.

04:11:56.000 When I was in the, you know, you might think, well, me, I was like everybody else.

04:12:00.000 No, when I was 16, I never had a drop of alcohol, not a drop.

04:12:05.000 I didn't touch drugs.

04:12:07.000 All my friends were stoners.

04:12:08.000 I didn't touch it.

04:12:10.000 Criminal stuff never involved anything criminal. 0.96

04:12:14.000 I was a dork. 0.95

04:12:16.000 Good. 0.99

04:12:16.000 Better to be a dork. 0.99

04:12:17.000 If you have ambitions, it's the way you got to be. 0.99

04:12:20.000 Set yourself up to get into a good college.

04:12:23.000 Because, you know, I didn't understand this when I was in high school because my parents didn't fully understand it.

04:12:29.000 My parents, and God bless them, I love my parents.

04:12:32.000 My parents didn't go to college and their ethnics. 0.99

04:12:35.000 They both came from broken homes. 1.00

04:12:38.000 They didn't fully, I think, even understand the advantages of college.

04:12:41.000 They couldn't explain it to me the best.

04:12:43.000 My parents said, You know, you want to go to college and like get a good job and like be a lawyer.

04:12:48.000 And I said, Well, I don't want to be a lawyer.

04:12:50.000 You know, here's what I didn't understand about college that you need to understand.

04:12:55.000 There's a lot of people in the world, but guess what?

04:12:57.000 Who's going to make a difference? 0.98

04:12:59.000 Young people.

04:13:00.000 You're a young person.

04:13:03.000 How do you meet the smartest, the most ambitious, the best people in the whole country?

04:13:09.000 They're all going to be at college.

04:13:12.000 There's a lot of people in this world. 1.00

04:13:14.000 Some of them are smart, some of them are dumb, some of them work hard, some of them are lazy. 0.97

04:13:18.000 Some of them are going to be important and be somebody, and some of them, most of them, are going to be mediocrities, unremarkable. 0.95

04:13:25.000 Where are the smartest, most ambitious, most hardworking, interesting people going to be?

04:13:29.000 For four years, they're going to be in college.

04:13:32.000 They're going to be in the best colleges.

04:13:34.000 If you want a future, you got to meet those people when they're in college.

04:13:39.000 Those people, your college buddies at Wharton School of Business, at Harvard Law School, at Stanford, those people are going to be in the top law firms.

04:13:48.000 In the Fortune 500 companies.

04:13:50.000 They're going to be the investment bankers at the biggest banks.

04:13:54.000 They're going to be at the biggest tech companies.

04:13:56.000 You want those people to be your old college buddies that you had fun with, that you did a startup with, that you competed with.

04:14:05.000 That's where you want to be.

04:14:06.000 You want to meet the right people.

04:14:07.000 They're all going to be in college.

04:14:08.000 You're not going to be anywhere else.

04:14:11.000 So, in high school, the best thing you can do is set yourself up to go to the best college, get to the best college, meet the best people there, make the most of it, get.

04:14:22.000 The best grades, maybe then get an advanced degree, go to the best law school, business school, whatever.

04:14:27.000 And the law schools are very small.

04:14:28.000 Yale Law School, the graduating class is 200.

04:14:31.000 200 people go to Yale Law School, and those are all the lawyers, all the senators, all the Supreme Court clerks, all the federal judges.

04:14:40.000 They all went through those institutions.

04:14:43.000 So if you want to be somebody, if you want to know the people that are going to be somebody, you got to go to those.

04:14:48.000 That's your best bet.

04:14:50.000 Obviously, it's not for everybody.

04:14:51.000 Not everybody's going to do it, but if you want to maximize your potential, that's the way you got to do it.

04:14:56.000 And you don't even need to go to the best school.

04:14:57.000 Even if you go to a very selective school, you're also going to find ambitious, hardworking, smart people.

04:15:02.000 You're also going to be able to, you know, find some opportunities there.

04:15:05.000 But if you're in high school, that's the best thing you can do.

04:15:09.000 Learn as much as you can.

04:15:11.000 Read books, learn an instrument, learn a language, do extracurriculars.

04:15:15.000 Focus up. 1.00

04:15:16.000 Don't get involved in bullshit. 1.00

04:15:21.000 Okay.

04:15:24.000 Some kind of drug related charge, life altering mistake. 0.99

04:15:28.000 Get a girl pregnant, life altering mistake. 0.93

04:15:31.000 If in a certain way. 0.96

04:15:36.000 So, you know, if you overdose on drugs, get hooked on drugs, these are life altering mistakes.

04:15:41.000 So, avoid life altering mistakes.

04:15:43.000 That's easy.

04:15:45.000 And do a lot of hard work.

04:15:46.000 Get into a really good school.

04:15:47.000 That's your best opportunity, okay?

04:15:49.000 That's my advice today.

04:15:50.000 And I know that's boring.

04:15:52.000 You're like looking for the advice where it's like how to start a startup or something.

04:15:55.000 It's the boring advice, unfortunately, is the true advice.

04:15:59.000 You just got to think of it like this you got to do what you need to do to get where you want to go.

04:16:03.000 I sound like I become my dad. 0.99

04:16:05.000 That's what my fucking dad used to say to me. 0.99

04:16:08.000 When I was your age and I was like, I want to drop out of high school and start a business, my dad was like, You got to do what you got to do to get where you want to go. 1.00

04:16:17.000 I know it sucks. 0.99

04:16:18.000 I know it's stupid, but that's what you have to do. 1.00

04:16:22.000 You get older, you become your dad. 1.00

04:16:24.000 It's crazy.

04:16:26.000 This is literally the speech my dad used to tell me.

04:18:38.000 Well, I'll get it to him first.

04:18:40.000 I clean shaved my face today, trying to mock, and the double chain made me sick.

04:18:43.000 Any advice?

04:18:44.000 Lose weight, man.

04:18:45.000 Stop eating.

04:18:46.000 It's easy to stop eating.

04:18:47.000 Here's what I do.

04:18:48.000 Here's my diet plan, okay?

04:18:50.000 You wake up and you just don't eat for hours, hours and hours and hours.

04:18:55.000 Because you're not that hungry when you first wake up, usually.

04:18:59.000 And if you are hungry, here's my advice have a cup of coffee.

04:19:03.000 Have a cup of coffee, not a latte with all the milk.

04:19:06.000 Have a cup of coffee with maybe some cream, some sugar.

04:19:11.000 That's your like 100 calorie breakfast.

04:19:14.000 And maybe if you want a little something else, maybe a bowl of oatmeal.

04:19:17.000 It's like 300 calories.

04:19:19.000 You're only at 400 calories for breakfast.

04:19:22.000 If you need it, and that'll tide you over until lunch, you have a light lunch.

04:19:27.000 Maybe you even skip lunch.

04:19:29.000 And then in the evening at dinner time, maybe four or five o'clock, you have a big dinner.

04:19:35.000 And that can be, you know, depending on what you had for breakfast, what you had for lunch, that could be 1,000 to 1,500 calories.

04:19:42.000 And you keep yourself under 2,000.

04:19:44.000 If you're at, you know, 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day, you'll be losing weight.

04:19:49.000 But that's really it you can really only do one full meal.

04:19:53.000 You do one big meal with a lot of protein, and then the other stuff is just kind of tiding you over.

04:19:58.000 Cup of coffee, oatmeal, maybe a little snack.

04:20:02.000 But there's no other snacking.

04:20:04.000 What kills people is the snacking.

04:20:06.000 I don't even keep food in my house because you know what happens?

04:20:08.000 This is called Nick's Law.

04:20:11.000 If you have snacks in the house, you will tend to eat them.

04:20:15.000 If you have food in the house, you will tend to eat it.

04:20:17.000 You cannot have food in the house.

04:20:20.000 At least you cannot have snacks.

04:20:23.000 Because here's how it starts you got a jar of pretzels, you got a jar of cheese balls, you got a bag of candy.

04:20:30.000 And you know what happens in a moment of weakness?

04:20:32.000 It's 10 o'clock, you're working late or something.

04:20:35.000 You start to rummage, or you start to rummage.

04:20:38.000 Have a few pretzels, you have a little of this, can't help yourself.

04:20:43.000 Now it's another 400 calories.

04:20:44.000 Now your diet is dead. 1.00

04:20:46.000 Now you're fucked for the day. 1.00

04:20:47.000 Deficit is over. 1.00

04:20:50.000 That's all it takes.

04:20:52.000 Am I wrong?

04:20:54.000 If you have food in the house, you will tend to eat it. 1.00

04:20:56.000 Don't have food in the house because then you're not going to get in your car and go get food unless you're some disgusting pig. 0.96

04:21:04.000 So keep the temptation out of the house and, uh, Yeah, and look, if you want more calories, you got to work out. 0.98

04:21:13.000 That's it.

04:21:13.000 If you want more calories, you got to work out.

04:21:15.000 You got to exercise.

04:21:18.000 But muscle helps.

04:21:19.000 You can increase your caloric, your metabolic, whatever, if you have more muscle.

04:21:28.000 But yeah, it's about all you could do.

04:21:30.000 No, it's simple.

04:21:31.000 Okay, all right.

04:21:32.000 That's our last super chat.
