00:06:30.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:34.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:41.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:06:43.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:48.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:06:56.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:06:59.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:13.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:17.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:21.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:27.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:31.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:09:13.000I don't even know who you are No one's allowed to say that the blood is a quintessential part of this, that the blood of our people is something that is essential.
00:09:38.000that America was different because we are different.
00:09:56.000Palantir is an AI data analytics company.
00:10:02.000They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
00:10:09.000If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
00:10:26.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.

00:24:33.000Mind and senses purified, freed from desire.
00:24:37.000Mine and senses purified, freed from desire.
00:24:53.000If we don't have freedom on the internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind raped every day forever.
00:25:01.000Think about anything you've ever said or done in the vicinity of your phone's camera or microphone, everything you've ever put into your phone, and even things that are not necessarily so scandalous, but even things like your favorite restaurants, your geolocation, because your phone also has a GPS.
00:25:23.000They have access to your bank account.
00:25:25.000AI will literally know everything about you.
00:25:29.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you asleep.
00:25:39.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
00:25:43.000They know how many calories you consume.
00:25:45.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
00:25:48.000You have a computer in your refrigerator, computer in your car, computer in your home security system, computer in your everything, computer in your clothes, your watch, your glasses, your VR headset, your alarm clock.
00:26:00.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
00:26:02.000It's like total, like, rape of everybody by the system forever.
00:26:19.000My life is like a first-person video game, you know?
00:27:18.000These material appetites will never be satisfied.
00:27:23.000And even if they are, it'll never be an adequate substitute for communion with our Holy Father, with somebody with the author of the world.
00:27:32.000And every mother and father understands the love for a child.
00:50:55.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:51:00.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:51:07.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:51:09.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:51:14.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:51:21.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:51:25.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:51:39.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:51:43.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:51:46.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:51:53.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:51:57.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:53:50.000And I think that the mature people that actually love America, actually love our children, the people that recognize the division, the peril that we're in, we need to fortify a new consensus and rally the people of conscience, the people of decency, the people of humanity, the people of charity towards their fellow man,
00:54:16.000against those that want to kill us, against those that laugh and celebrate when innocent people are harmed.
00:54:26.000For any reason, for any ideological reason, against the people that are cruel, the people that are hateful.
00:54:33.000And by that, I mean the people that are really cruel, not the people that say things you disagree with, not the people that are provocative, not the people that are sometimes angry, but the people that are really cruel and really evil.
00:54:55.000What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us.
00:55:17.000So much of it, it cannot be contained.
00:55:23.000An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
00:56:50.000Mission is an Israeli-funded blacklist, which, since July 2025, has been confirmed to be used by the Trump administration to target students, professors, and professionals who oppose Israel and reside in the United States.
00:57:02.000This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
00:57:09.000In their initiative, titled Project Esther, they state that students participating in pro-Palestinian protests and activism are supporting Hamas, a group that the United States designates as a foreign terrorist organization.
00:57:21.000Therefore, pro-Palestinian students are considered to be supporting terrorism and are subject to the revocation of visas, frozen bank accounts, asset seizures, and the denial of basic constitutional rights.
00:57:33.000In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
00:57:46.000Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
00:57:55.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
00:58:09.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence.
00:58:22.000As Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States, and anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy, I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
00:58:35.000So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
00:58:39.000Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
00:58:46.000And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
00:58:49.000As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
00:58:53.000And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
00:58:57.000As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and they're the greatest country ever, I will never be okay with that.
00:59:55.000This is not a timeline going back to 1948.
00:59:58.000What had just happened before the 2016 election?
01:00:01.000Barack Obama created the joint comprehensive plan of action, the JCPOA, or the Iranian nuclear deal.
01:00:10.000And Barack Obama brought together China, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the European Union to enforce a nuclear deal that restricts Iran's enrichment of uranium.
01:00:24.000The early talks were conducted in secret, and the Israelis were furious, furious about this.
01:00:32.000Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
01:00:43.000This is the background of Trump's first election.
01:02:06.000They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
01:02:20.000This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
01:14:47.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:14:52.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:14:58.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
01:15:01.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see, people have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:15:13.000People have got to start to get courageous.
01:15:16.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

01:15:48.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.

02:10:50.000Just like in Iraq, which went from 1990 until today, just like Libya, which went from 2011 to today, Syria, which went from 2011 to today, and Iran, which went from 2018 until today.
02:23:04.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
02:23:09.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
02:23:16.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
02:23:18.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see, people have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.

02:23:52.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
02:23:55.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
02:24:02.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
02:24:06.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
02:26:12.000that America was different because we are different.
02:26:31.000Palantir is an AI data analytics company.
02:26:36.000They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
02:26:43.000If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
02:27:01.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
02:30:45.000And where I left you on Tuesday, we're having a little bit of a disrupted schedule this week, a little bit of a mix.
02:30:54.000But where I left you on Tuesday, we were talking about the timeline.
02:30:59.000We're talking about how Trump is timing all of these operations and strikes.
02:31:05.000Not just why things are happening, but why they're happening when they're happening.
02:31:11.000And where I left you on Tuesday, we talked about this big ultimatum that Trump gave last Saturday, almost a week ago.
02:31:19.000Trump said last Saturday that Iran had 48 hours to open up the Strait of Hormuz.
02:31:26.000And if they didn't, then Trump and Israel would begin bombing Iran's power plants and their electrical grid, their civilian infrastructure.
02:31:40.000And on Monday morning, Trump announced that the deadline had not been called off, but it had been postponed.
02:31:47.000So Monday morning, about a half hour before the markets opened and traders and investors got an opportunity to panic about the imminent attack, Trump postponed the ultimatum and said that he was extending the deadline to today, to Friday.
02:32:05.000He said there would be a five-day extension.
02:32:07.000And so implying the new terms would be: if Iran doesn't open up the strait by Friday, by today, then the power plant strike would commence.
02:32:19.000Well, what has happened since Monday, since we last spoke?
02:32:25.000On Wednesday, Trump came out on True Social and extended the deadline again.
02:32:33.000And we'll talk about the significance of this.
02:32:36.000Trump goes out on True Social on Wednesday afternoon and says the deadline is extended this time by 10 days, which if you're counting, that takes us not to Monday, but to the following Monday.
02:32:53.000And if you've been keeping track of all of this stuff, the timeline over the past four weeks of the conflict so far, what that really means is two weekends.
02:33:02.000It means he got this weekend, next week, and the weekend after that.
02:33:08.000New deadline says if Iran doesn't open up the strait in the next 10 days now, then there will be a major escalation in the war.
02:33:16.000And that escalation will probably consist in attacks on Iranian power and energy.
02:33:23.000In the meantime, Trump is pursuing two parallel simultaneous tracks.
02:33:30.000On the one hand, allegedly there is a peace process.
02:33:38.000And what is coming out of the administration makes it hard to believe that it is serious or that it is real.
02:33:45.000Last Thursday, before the deadline was announced, the initial deadline, it was reported that intermediaries from the other Arab countries, from Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey, I guess they're not Arab, they're not all Arab countries, but Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey intervened, and they're trying to get a summit together between representatives from Iran and the United States.
02:34:10.000There was a plan to potentially have a meeting in Pakistan yesterday in Islamabad, the capital.
02:34:19.000The United States submitted its 15-point plan to end the war.
02:34:23.000Iran has not delivered its final answer, but seems like they're going to reject it.
02:34:28.000And this coming week, next week, they say that potentially talks could advance.
02:34:35.000They say that the White House, and in particular, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and lately JD Vance, are going to be leading an effort to make some kind of a deal, although it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
02:34:47.000And this is why you have the deadline.
02:34:49.000This is why Trump is giving these ultimatums.
02:34:52.000The 48-hour deadline initially, the five-day extension, the 10-day extension.
02:34:58.000Ostensibly, okay, nominally, the reason we have this timeline at all, the reason we have this deadline is to give room for diplomacy to take place, to give room for peace talks to breathe and for the two sides to get together and make a deal.
02:35:22.000One of them is diplomatic, which is apparently being pursued.
02:35:26.000We're only hearing about it in the media.
02:35:29.000At the same time, however, the dual track, the second track, is that we are clearly preparing for a ground invasion.
02:35:37.000In the event that diplomacy does not happen, and when this countdown timer expires, whenever it does, whenever it stops being postponed, it's looking like we're going to invade on the ground.
02:35:51.000If we're going to invade the coastline of mainland Iran, or more likely, if we're going to invade one of Iran's islands in either the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz.
02:36:02.000And there's been a lot of talk about Karg Island, which is the energy hub 300 miles northwest of the Strait in the Persian Gulf.
02:36:11.000And then there's a series of islands in the actual strait, in the choke point, where potentially the United States might make an amphibious landing, establish a beachhead, and then use that to force the strait open if they can't get Iran to open it through diplomatic means.
02:36:30.000So 10 days, two tracks, diplomacy, and potentially a ground invasion.
02:36:39.000And there is a lot of ground to cover.
02:36:41.000There's going to be another major force deployment.
02:36:44.000As we've discussed this over the past two weeks, and we'll get into the timeline a little bit again.
02:36:49.000Initially, you had a contingent about 4,000 to 5,000 Marines as part of an amphibious assault unit.
02:36:59.000They were headed to the Persian Gulf two weeks ago.
02:37:02.000Last week, they announced that there would be an airborne force that would supplement the Marines.
02:37:08.000So this rapid deployment force, which is deployable in 18 hours, they would parachute out of airplanes.
02:37:15.000This is another 3,000 to 5,000 troops.
02:37:18.000They would be reinforcing the Marines in the Persian Gulf.
02:37:22.000Then a couple of days ago, they said there would be an additional 10,000 troops.
02:37:26.000We don't know where they're coming from, what unit they're a part of, what branch they're a part of.
02:37:31.000But just a couple of days ago, there was an announcement or a report that the Pentagon is discussing another 10,000 troops to send for a grand total of anywhere between 15 and 20,000 troops in total.
02:37:45.000They are all being mobilized into the Middle East right now.
02:37:48.000Simultaneously, the Gerald Ford is out of commission.
02:37:53.000The USS Gerald Ford, which is our biggest, most advanced carrier, is still at port in Greece being repaired.
02:38:00.000They say there was a laundry fire on the carrier.
02:38:04.000It has apparently rendered it inoperable for two weeks because there was a fire in the laundry room.
02:38:11.000Now they're saying maybe the ship was hit.
02:38:14.000Maybe its radar systems, maybe its weapon systems were damaged because they were hit by a missile and the military doesn't want to disclose this.
02:38:22.000In any case, there is another aircraft carrier joining the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Middle East as well.
02:38:30.000So either way, you're going to have two carriers, 50,000 troops, plus an additional 20,000 and the amphibious assault unit.
02:38:40.000That's all going to be in place, not by tomorrow, but by next weekend, just shy of the deadline.
02:38:47.000So it's pretty clear where all of this is pointing toward.
02:38:50.000It's pretty obvious where this is headed.
02:38:52.000At least that is what is being telegraphed all the time by the Pentagon and the media.
02:39:04.000There's been a partial government shutdown for roughly the past 60 days or so.
02:39:10.000And as you, I'm sure, have heard, the partial government shutdown is affecting the Department of Homeland Security, not ICE, not Border Patrol, but only the other aspects of DHS, like the Coast Guard, the TSA, and other agencies.
02:39:27.000And this is causing these unbelievable wait times at the airports.
02:39:31.000There was an effort last night, literally in the middle of the night in the U.S. Senate to break the stalemate, but the House has rejected it.
02:39:38.000And so it seems the shutdown will go on indefinitely.
02:39:42.000If we have time, we'll get into that, although I don't think we will.
02:49:53.000Because you're going to see this on Twitter.
02:49:55.000And you might already have, maybe you already have seen this on Twitter.
02:49:59.000The new line that they're all trying out that I've heard over and over again is they keep talking about the generational coalition, which has been squandered.
02:51:50.000They're still minimizing the issue and saying, well, it's not a ground war.
02:51:54.000Well, Trump is going to handle this the right way.
02:51:56.000The only thing they can bring themselves to say about it is that the war is making Trump less popular and that will prevent someone like Vance from succeeding in the future.
02:52:35.000The most they'll say is, oh, the war is going to make Trump unpopular.
02:52:40.000And then he can't do what he said he was going to do.
02:52:43.000And so there's this hint of they're still hanging on.
02:52:47.000They're still hanging on to this idea that Trump is who he said he was, that MAGA is what we thought it was, that Trump is still trying against every obstacle to do the right thing for, like, he's still our guy.
02:53:02.000His endgame is still a total American victory.
02:55:01.000The generational coalition was not a latitude.
02:55:04.000It wasn't a horizontal down here of Mexicans and whites and black people that didn't like Venezuelan refugees.
02:55:12.000The coalition was up here, different latitude, different horizontal.
02:55:16.000The real generational coalition was all of the little tech money mobilized by JD Vance, David Sachs, Elon Musk, Andreessen Horowitz.
02:55:28.000It's all the little tech people that wanted to supplant big tech.
02:55:33.000It's all the little tech people, all the effective accelerationists that wanted their drone companies, their AI companies, their rocket companies to get the government contracts instead of Bezos Rocket Company and Anthropics AI Company and the other drone company from private equity.
02:55:55.000The other part of the coalition was the Israel lobby, good old-fashioned Israel lobby, the Jewish media that stood down and didn't oppose Trump, the donors like Miriam Adelson that donated $100 million, APAC, which was involved in 24 dethroning progressives and even trying to dethrone a conservative that voted against foreign aid to Israel.
02:56:17.000It was the bankers in Wall Street, like Tim Mellon and Ken Griffin, who wanted the corporate tax rate permanently lowered, who wanted a Federal Reserve chairman who was going to aggressively cut interest rates to get the velocity of money going to grow the economy.
02:56:31.000That was the real generational coalition.
02:56:35.000And that is why in 2024, 60% of the money that Trump raised was raised from the big donors.
02:56:43.000And it was only a third that was raised from the small dollar donors.
02:56:47.000The real coalition was a moneyed coalition.
02:56:50.000It was a coalition of the interests that wanted to see Republicans come in and take over from Biden.
02:57:00.000Now, to the extent that there was a media blitz, to the extent that Mark Zuckerberg stood down in 2024, to the extent that there were all of these vibes and people thought this was a movement and we were going to end wokeness and it was a reaction to Biden's autopen and whatever you want to call it.
02:57:40.000You were watching flashing lights and bright colors and hyperpop and you were being stimulated to go out and vote for this real generational coalition of interests.
02:59:14.000You are the sucker, the voters that thought it was going to be a never-ending creed concert, that thought we were bringing grunge back or whatever, that it was going to be a golden age and there's going to be smart cities on the blockchain and it was going to be Columbus Day and we'd all say Merry Christmas and we're going to get trannies out of girl soccer.
02:59:36.000You are left holding the bag saying, but Mr. Trump, what about our golden age?
03:00:34.000Balding, Gen X, girl dads, cucks, people that care about the integrity of girl sports, people that care about Columbus Day, people that are getting up on a stump speech at their school board meeting talking about, I'm proud to be white or something.
03:00:50.000You thought that was the generational coalition, numb nuts?
03:00:56.000They thought that was the generational coalition was a bunch of high BMI, balding, girl dads and wife guys, a bunch of Gen X cucks, and they were going to put on their theme music.
03:01:09.000They were going to put on Lincoln Park and they were going to stroll into Washington, D.C., and they were going to shit post with an A until, I don't know, they made Heritage America come back until they made it 1990 through science or magic.
03:01:28.000Yeah, no, I hate to break it to you, but that's not politics.
03:01:55.000The generational coalition were the billionaire oligarchs that put up the literal hundreds of millions of dollars in donations to make all this happen.
03:02:06.000And that's why they got their cabinet picks.
03:02:08.000That's why they got taken care of in the big beautiful bill.
03:02:12.000That's why the State Department serves at their pleasure.
03:02:39.000You cannot place all of your faith and all of your hopes and wishes on a movement that doesn't answer to you, that doesn't value you, that isn't listening to you, that doesn't prioritize you.
03:02:52.000Then that is a different movement than in 2016.
03:02:56.000In 2016, the message was explicitly, this is about the forgotten men and women, and we're going to drain the swamp.
03:03:04.000And we're going to create a website called greatagain.org, and we're going to hire people from inside the country to come into DC and work in government.
03:03:14.000People forget that that was a thing, but it was.
03:04:52.000In 2024, he needed to be everything to everybody.
03:04:55.000That is how you get your generational coalition because everybody was projecting onto him what they wanted.
03:05:02.000And that's why people in Dearborn, Michigan read a rally with him thinking he was going to free Palestine.
03:05:08.000But then Trump would go to Mar-a-Lago and hug Netanyahu, who believed Trump was going to deliver to him the West Bank.
03:05:16.000And Trump would go to a rally or the RNC where they're holding up signs that say mass deportations.
03:05:21.000Then he would go on the all-in podcast and say, we're going to staple green cards to the diplomas of every foreign student that comes here.
03:05:28.000He was everything to everybody because he needed every vote, every nickel, every dime to get elected by any cost to get out of jail.
03:07:06.000It was used up like a booster rocket and then discarded because the things they actually wanted achieved their escape velocity, to follow the analogy.
03:07:17.000The generational movement propelled Trump into office so that Trump could deliver for his backers.
03:07:24.000If he loses popularity and if, you know, little John Doyle and all those sad little heritage Americans, if they get their hearts broken in the process, hoping and wishing and dreaming, well, that's something that they're willing to accept.
03:07:39.000And this is something you got to keep in mind.
03:07:41.000When you're talking about the world empire of the United States, they're thinking in terms of decades and centuries and in hundreds of trillions of dollars.
03:07:51.000What is your complaint, citizen, denizen of Strip Mall Village?
03:07:57.000You live in a city, which is really just like a glorified Main Street with a car dealership, a Holiday and Express, a Walmart, an Applebee's.
03:08:11.000And lately, you're noticing it's getting a little too Mexican because the Mexicans are the migrant workers in the farms near your town or in the hospitality in your town or whatever.
03:08:23.000And you start saying, I don't like all these Mexicans in my town.
03:08:27.000You file, you take a number and file a complaint at the help desk.
03:09:11.000It's a new slave class brought in to replace the old one, you.
03:09:16.000They're being brought in by the elites.
03:09:19.000They're being brought in by the generational coalition because they make money, okay?
03:09:24.000Because that increases the profits of the oligarchs who funded the Trump generational coalition.
03:09:32.000So if you think that your provincial concerns from all the way out there in Nebraska or Iowa or Minnesota, you think they're reaching the imperial capital?
03:09:44.000So-and-so with two first names is mad that there's too many brown people in his neighborhood?
03:09:49.000They don't care because a pipeline needs to go through Saudi Arabia, because a pipeline needs to go through the Middle East, because the trade that goes through the Panama Canal needs to be charged and billed to a Panama controlled by the United States, and so on and so forth.
03:10:07.000So we have to think a little bit bigger.
03:10:09.000We have to think a little bit more globally.
03:10:12.000And we have to be a little more sober-minded about these things.
03:10:48.000I know I'm kind of like, we're like an hour into the show already, but I keep seeing that message going around and it couldn't be more emblematic.
03:10:59.000It couldn't be more definitive of how they don't get it.
03:11:03.000When they say our generational coalition got squandered, and I've been saying it in exactly that way, it's sort of sad.
03:11:10.000Your movement, our movement, your movement, my movement, to the extent that we were all part of MAGA and we have all these sentimental feelings about it.
03:11:47.000There's no room for any of those kinds of feelings, only calculation.
03:11:52.000So I see these sad, sad, sad, sad girl dads and wife guys on Twitter.
03:11:59.000What about our generational coalition?
03:12:01.000Mr. Trump, they honest to God thought a generational movement spawned in response to Trannys playing soccer with their daughters and Columbus Day being renamed Indigenous Peoples Day and because Disney Plus cast the wrong character and the little mermaid or something.
03:12:19.000I mean, that's literally what they thought it was.
03:12:22.000A guy like Matt Walsh or that archetype, he really drives his daughter to soccer, watches Disney Plus with his daughter, and he thinks that that is the world revolves around this, or at the minimum, the world of politics revolves around this.
03:14:05.000That's why I tell people, you want to get involved, be a college Republican, get on a campaign, be an intern in the administration, and start working your way up the ladder.
03:14:16.000Whether Republican wins or whether a Democrat wins, there's going to be Groypers in the next administration because we've taken care of things.
03:14:28.000And just like Anthropic has their people in this government, and just like OpenAI has their people, and just like other people have their people, we need to have our own people.
03:14:38.000Outcome independent in the administration.
03:14:40.000No loyalty to Republicans, no loyalty to Democrats, loyalty to ourselves, loyalty to the country.
03:14:46.000That's what it really means to engage in politics.
03:15:18.000And we've talked a lot about why that is.
03:15:21.000The United States and Israel have engaged Iran in a joint operation using only air and sea power.
03:15:29.000They were hoping for a quick and decisive strike so overwhelming that it would topple the regime, that the masses of Iranians would rise up and change their government.
03:15:39.000And this is what the U.S. and Israel, maybe more so the United States, was counting on.
03:15:48.000The Iranian regime has proved to be resilient.
03:15:51.000And although we killed its leader and much of its leadership, although we have crippled its military and we've bombed them almost 10,000 times, the Iranian regime remains intact.
03:16:02.000And remaining intact, they still retain the capability to launch drones and missiles at the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, at U.S. military bases, at Israel, and maybe most importantly, at shipping that transits through the Strait of Hormuz.
03:16:21.000So the United States is effectively unable to achieve its strategic objectives.
03:16:26.000If its strategic objective was to quickly and decisively collapse the Iranian regime, that goal now appears to be out of reach.
03:16:35.000However, we have initiated hostilities.
03:16:38.000Iran has retaliated, and they have changed the dynamic of how the region works.
03:16:44.000By closing the strait, they have effectively seized control of the global energy market.
03:16:50.00020% of the world's energy that transits by ship goes through the strait, and Iran is effectively controlling it via a toll.
03:17:03.000And the countries that are allied with Iran have safe passage.
03:17:08.000And Iran's oil itself is able to be exported.
03:17:12.000And nations that are willing to pay a $2 million toll, they're able to get their goods through the strait as well.
03:17:20.000But countries that are antagonistic towards Iran, countries at war with Iran or allied with those at war with Iran, they are being attacked.
03:17:29.000And so the conflict has settled into an attritional war where the United States is unable to complete its objectives.
03:17:37.000Meanwhile, in open hostilities, Iran is choking off the supply of global energy, which is badly hurting the U.S. economy, our allies in the Indo-Pacific, and the economy of Europe.
03:17:50.000So Trump is faced with a couple of options.
03:17:54.000He can escalate the war and how the war is being fought to ultimately achieve his objectives.
03:18:01.000He can, in some way or another, with an invading ground force, with a nuclear strike, those seem to be the only options.
03:18:10.000He can escalate the tactics in the fighting to ultimately achieve his aims, which is a regime change.
03:18:17.000They will be able then to suppress Iran's ability to attack the strait, and the war will be won.
03:18:23.000The alternative is he can de-escalate.
03:18:27.000By achieving a ceasefire or a truce, he can get Iran to stop choking off the strait through diplomacy, and this would be considered a tactical retreat and ultimately a strategic victory for Iran.
03:18:41.000He doesn't want to do either of these things.
03:18:45.000If we withdraw, if we surrender, Iran is going to be able to extract concessions and they will have won.
03:18:53.000If we escalate, the means by which we do so would be unacceptable.
03:18:58.000Politically, geopolitically, can't use a nuclear weapon, unprecedented, can't invade, too many casualties, not enough political capital, no morale, appetite for that domestically.
03:19:12.000So Trump is trying to find a third way out of the conflict, and we've been talking about this.
03:19:17.000It seems that he had no plan B. If he doesn't succeed and Iran closes the strait, what's the exit plan?
03:19:34.000Stock market is having another very bad week.
03:19:37.000SP 500 is down 500 points at close earlier tonight.
03:19:43.000As all of this economic pain is setting in, Trump is trying to figure out a third way, a way to escalate the conflict, maybe not achieving total victory, but a decisive blow, a tactical victory that brings Iran to the negotiating table so that we can achieve favorable terms for a withdrawal with dignity, a face-saving tactical retreat with honor.
03:20:11.000And how he's decided to do this is to engage Iran's energy industry in a very tactful way.
03:20:20.000So far, that seems to be the elephant in the room.
03:20:23.000The only way to hurt Iran any further without actually invading Iran, we seem to be doing as much as we can with air and sea power, dropping bombs from above, launching missiles from ships.
03:20:36.000It seems that the only other way we can escalate short of a ground invasion is to begin targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, which we have avoided doing so far.
03:20:50.000In an attritional war, the way that Iran hurts us and uses leverage against us is by raising the price of energy by constraining its supply.
03:20:59.000Well, if we bomb Iran's energy, that only constrains the energy supply further.
03:21:06.000We take Iran's oil out of the global market.
03:21:09.000It reduces global supply and the price goes up further.
03:21:13.000What's more, Iran will retaliate, and they will likely retaliate against energy infrastructure on the other side of the Persian Gulf, in Saudi Arabia and Qatar in particular.
03:21:58.000And the third way appears to be not destroying Iran's energy infrastructure, but taking control over it.
03:22:07.000And so he's fixated on this small island called Karg Island, as you know, in the Persian Gulf.
03:22:14.000And although the oil is extracted and refined on the coastline of Iran's mainland, the actual oil is pumped out via pipeline to the island, 95% of it, where it is then loaded onto a ship and then exported.
03:22:30.000And so that seems to be the critical choke point for Iran's entire energy industry, which accounts for half of its exports, 95% of the oil, and the oil is 50% of Iran's exports.
03:22:45.000So Trump believes that he doesn't necessarily have to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure.
03:22:51.000If he can seize control over it, he can take it hostage and then use that as a counterweight to how Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz.
03:23:01.000So to that end, two weeks ago, he bombed Karg Island, bombed its military assets.
03:23:09.000Not their energy infrastructure, but just the military assets protecting the island.
03:23:14.000In the ensuing two weeks, it seems that he's building up a military force to take over that island.
03:23:21.000Invading Iran on the mainland would be almost impossible because of the terrain, the size of Iran's armed forces, the scale of its missile and drone stockpile.
03:23:33.000If we tried to invade Iran's mainland, it might be a suicide mission.
03:23:38.000But if we can target this eight square mile island, if we can use air power and electronic warfare and other means to shut down that island, shut down that zone and put a military presence on it, then we can seize control of Iran's energy infrastructure without destroying it.
03:23:59.000We can say that that is a decisive victory.
03:24:03.000We can call that a tactical objective.
03:24:46.000And part of the economic war, it's not just about the actual scarcity of the commodities involved, which is oil, natural gas, fertilizer, aluminum, other things.
03:25:00.000And so the demand for these commodities and how they value them in the present is dependent upon how people perceive the flow of the conflict.
03:25:12.000If they think the war is going to go on for a long time, and if they think this energy crunch is not going to end anytime soon, it makes the economic problems much more acute right now.
03:25:23.000If they think, however, that everything is going according to plan and the war is going to be over any day and that there's going to be an influx of oil next week or in two weeks, then without all the panic, it makes the economic problems less severe.
03:25:39.000So it seems that simultaneously, Trump is preparing the way for a major escalation in the conflict, an actual ground invasion, not of Iran's mainland, but of its islands.
03:25:55.000And it seems that that might be the only way out.
03:25:59.000That might be threading the needle between a disgraceful retreat, which gives Iran a strategic victory and an unacceptable escalation.
03:26:07.000At the same time that he's preparing for this, he has to reassure the markets that this is not about to happen.
03:26:15.000And so that brings us to this past weekend and where we left off on Tuesday.
03:26:21.000Last weekend, Trump made a big ultimatum.
03:26:24.000Trump said on Saturday that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz and end the war in 48 hours, then Trump would begin targeting Iran's power plants and its energy grid.
03:26:36.000Iran immediately replied, predictably, and they said in the event that that happens, Iran will then target all civilian infrastructure in the Gulf countries.
03:26:47.000And that's Qatar, that's the United Arab Emirates, that's Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia.
03:26:53.000And Iran said, not only will we attack their energy, their LNG, their liquefied natural gas, their oil, but we'll also attack their desalination plants, which they rely on for drinking water.
03:27:04.000We'll also attack their hotels, airports.
03:27:08.000We'll attack all their civilian infrastructure will be on the table.
03:27:12.000And in response to this news, everything on the market tanked.
03:27:20.000This would be an apocalyptic conflict for the economy, not just for oil and natural gas, but for everything.
03:27:28.000This would seriously tank the economy.
03:27:30.000So then before the markets opened on Monday, Trump said the deadline was extended by five days because Trump said that he was going to give Iran an opportunity to make a deal, that there was going to be this peace process, and he was going to give them an opportunity to find a diplomatic way out of the conflict.
03:28:25.000It says, quote, President Trump said earlier on Thursday that he was pausing strikes on Iran's energy sector for more than 10 days until April 6th so that peace negotiations can take place.
03:28:40.000He said the extension was at Iran's request.
03:28:43.000Iran has not requested a 10-day pause and has yet to deliver a final response to a 15-point plan to end the war, according to mediators in the peace talks.
03:28:54.000Iranian officials have told the mediators that they are interested in negotiations, but the country's leadership has yet to weigh in and give a final decision.
03:29:02.000The U.S. offered a 15-point plan that essentially would swap an end to crippling sanctions for Iranian concessions on every point of conflict, including its nuclear and missile programs and support for regional militias.
03:29:16.000Iranian officials already have demanded that the U.S. scale back its excessive demands outlined in the 15-point plan before it agrees to meet to discuss a potential ceasefire.
03:29:26.000They also ruled out discussing Iran's missile program as a starting point for the talks, and they do not want to commit to ending enrichment of uranium forever.
03:29:37.000The odds of success for a ceasefire remain low with Iran and the United States taking out maximalist demands that are unacceptable to each other side, said the mediators.
03:29:50.000So this is where we are, and this kind of catches us up from where we are before.
03:29:56.000Like I said, you've got the state of the conflict, which we're all very familiar with at this point.
03:31:58.000And so what this does is it emboldens everybody in the regime.
03:32:02.000All the hardliners, all the people that said not to trust the United States, all the people that really believe death to America, really believe in the Shiite eschatology.
03:33:21.000Why do they have to inflict the maximum amount of pain?
03:33:24.000Why do they have to take these steps, bombing the Emirates a thousand times, bombing Saudi Arabia, closing the strait, many ways turning other countries against them?
03:33:36.000They have to do this to reestablish deterrence.
03:33:40.000They have to do this, in a word, so that the United States doesn't try to kill them again.
03:34:32.000They have to make it unpleasant and painful so that when the United States backs off, unable to achieve its goals, it thinks twice before they try to kill Iran again.
03:34:42.000They have to inflict the maximum amount of damage.
03:34:46.000But now the United States is, they're also in a bit of a bind.
03:34:49.000They also have to make a certain type of decision here.
03:34:55.000If we now retreat and Iran reestablishes deterrence, then we look weak by comparison.
03:35:03.000And then other countries that we are actually holding in suspended animation right now by the threat of force, they don't take us as seriously.
03:35:12.000Maybe they start to do aggressive things.
03:37:09.000Nobody said 10 years ago, we need a ground war in Iran.
03:37:13.000We need to decapitate Iran and then we need a ground war and then we need to send in troops to seize all the radioactive material.
03:37:21.000We were drawn into it step by step, working our way up the escalation ladder, killing Sulamani, ripping up the nuclear deal, calling their paramilitary a terrorist group, then authorizing cyber attacks, assassination strikes against their nuclear scientists, shooting down their missiles over Israel, going to war with their proxies, bombing their nuclear sites.
03:37:45.000And then one day you find yourself in a situation where we go for it, try to cut the head off the snake in an air campaign, and it doesn't work.
03:37:56.000And then all of a sudden, the unthinkable becomes the inevitable.
03:38:00.000All of a sudden, the only option left on the table, how do we finally get these guys?
03:38:31.000We got together an international regime of sanctions.
03:38:35.000Again, sanctioned their proxies, their institutions, their leaders.
03:38:40.000Okay, then we killed the leader of their paramilitary, called it a terrorist group, shot down the did everything step by step, walking up that ladder until we did everything shy of invasion and nukes four weeks ago because we bombed them 10,000 times.
03:38:59.000We did everything, all of our standoff weapons, air power, sea power, tomahawk missiles, some say bunker buster bombs, 5,000 pound bombs, 50,000 pound bombs.
03:39:13.000We're doing the most, doing everything.
03:39:15.000Killed their leader, literally killed their leader.
03:39:24.000How do we, we, the superpower, credibility and deterrence on the line against what should be a far weaker adversary, how do we finally pound them into submission?
03:40:25.000Iran is always making more of them, importing more of them, can launch them from anywhere, from a long distance, a short distance, tethered to a fiber optic cable or using radio.
03:41:33.000So Trump is left with one option, escalate to de-escalate, escalate to achieve a favorable peace on our terms.
03:41:42.000And that is the only conversation that is legitimate here.
03:41:48.000This was determined, maybe you could say a week into the conflict, that this was going to happen.
03:41:53.000And so, like I said, this is my take on what is happening.
03:41:56.000Trump has effectively resolved that if he cannot topple the regime, and again, that became very clear within the first or second week, if Trump cannot quickly topple the regime, and if Iran will not open up the strait and they're going to extract major concessions, even if they get a ceasefire, they're going to seize control of it.
03:42:18.000Then, Trump has a narrow lane to escalate the fighting to achieve a tactical victory to then maybe get a more favorable agreement to get a truce, a ceasefire, and end the fighting.
03:42:31.000Maybe not forever, but at least for now.
03:42:34.000And Trump has calibrated that the only way to do that, we can't invade their country, we can't drop a tactical nuke on them.
03:42:41.000We're going to have to do some kind of surgical ground intervention on an island to take control of energy.
03:42:49.000And that's either going to be in the Persian Gulf or in the Strait of Hormuz.
03:42:55.000And so, what he did two weeks ago, like we talked about, I believe this was on a Friday, he seized control, or rather, he used an airstrike to bomb the military assets on Karg Island.
03:43:09.000And what that did is it rendered Karg Island vulnerable for an invasion.
03:43:14.000Karg Island, again, it's that energy hub.
03:43:17.000It has all their oil infrastructure for exporting their energy products.
03:43:23.000But in the north of the island, is where they have a military airstrip and they have a radar system and they have an anti-air system.
03:43:30.000Trump bombed all of that, took it all offline.
03:43:34.000And then he came back the following week, if you remember, I believe this was last Tuesday or Wednesday, and Trump said, We're not going to do any attacks on Iran's energy, reassuring the markets, maybe even reassuring Iran.
03:43:48.000Then there's talk of diplomacy the next day.
03:43:51.000They say that Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are trying to get a peace deal together.
03:43:56.000The following weekend, after the Karg Island attack, Trump makes his big 48-hour ultimatum and says, If you don't open up the strait, then we're going to destroy your power plants and your power grid.
03:44:08.000Before the markets open, Trump calls it off, extends the deadline.
03:44:32.000All this is happening in the background.
03:44:35.000Now, the current deadline extends until the following Monday.
03:44:39.000Over the past two weeks, so let's say Karg Island was two weeks ago.
03:44:46.000In the past two weeks and in the next two weeks, until the next deadline, this is a four-week stretch.
03:44:53.000You have seen actually a second military buildup in the Middle East.
03:44:57.000From the time that Trump bombed Karg Island two weeks ago until the end of the next deadline on April 6th, Trump will have deployed another aircraft carrier into the region.
03:45:09.000He will have deployed an additional 20,000 troops, and that includes 5,000 Marines, 5,000 airborne, 10,000 other soldiers.
03:45:20.000And what all of that looks like is they're putting in place a small force package, not a big one, but maybe the biggest special forces operation that has ever been conducted, very logistically difficult, to seize one of the islands.
03:45:35.000They're putting all those pieces in place.
03:45:38.000While there is a ruse, not just for Iran, but more so for the public and for the markets of peace talks.
03:45:45.000And under the cover of that story, they're building up a force posture to take over one of those islands.
03:45:53.000That's the only way that the United States is able to counterintuitively de-escalate the conflict, is to first escalate it.
03:46:34.000It says, quote, the Pentagon is looking at sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East to give President Trump more military options, even as he weighs peace talks with Tehran.
03:46:45.000The force, which would likely include infantry and armored vehicles, would be added to the roughly 5,000 Marines and thousands of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division who have already been ordered to the region.
03:46:58.000It is unclear where precisely forces will go in the Middle East, but they will likely be within striking distance of Iran and Karg Island, a crucial oil export hub off of Iran's coast.
03:47:10.000Trump has repeatedly said he will open the Strait of Hormuz with or without the help of U.S. allies.
03:47:16.000So it's a force package now of 20,000.
03:48:21.000There was a closed-door hearing of the Armed Forces Committee, and three Republicans left that meeting and said, we are against a ground war, which seems to imply that they were briefed about future ground operations.
03:48:35.000Today, at the G7 summit in Europe, Marco Rubio told our allies we will be in a war with Iran for two to four more weeks.
03:49:12.000The problem that we're facing, by the way, is that we can't open up the strait because the strait is this big.
03:49:21.000The strait of Hormuz is like eight miles across, 20 miles across at its narrowest point.
03:49:28.000And so Iran, they don't even have to be looking to shoot a drone from 100 miles inside the country and hit a ship going through the strait.
03:49:55.000You can't get a commercial vessel or even a U.S. destroyer through the strait because it's that vulnerable.
03:50:03.000And it's vulnerable because Iran is a very big country with a big coastline, and they are launching drones and missiles from everywhere all the time.
03:50:12.000Some precise, some imprecise, but the target is so small they're going to hit it.
03:50:17.000Well, Karg Island is eight square miles.
03:50:21.000So the island is not bigger than the narrowest point of the strait.
03:50:25.000If they could hit the strait, they could hit the island.
03:50:45.000So you have the same problem on the island that you have in the strait.
03:50:48.000If you can't sail a vessel through the strait without getting hit by drones and missiles, how are you going to land on an island without being hit by drones and missiles?
03:50:58.000So the plan seems to be that this amphibious assault force, the Marines, are going to land on the island and take the island.
03:51:06.000They're going to come under heavy fire from drones and missiles.
03:51:30.000They will repair the runway of the airstrip, which was bombed by Trump.
03:51:35.000They're going to seize control of the military facilities and they're going to prepare the way.
03:51:39.000The paratroopers will land on that airstrip, bringing reinforcements, bringing supplies.
03:51:46.000And then maybe those 10,000 or more other troops who will surely be deployed in Kuwait or at hotels and bases elsewhere in the Gulf, then they will be reinforcing and a logistics supply chain will be established and they will control the island.
03:52:02.000They will be there for a prolonged occupation.
03:52:06.000But again, if we can't shoot down all the drones and missiles in the strait, how are we going to have 100% success rate on the island?
03:52:15.000If we can't shoot them down in Doha and Dubai and Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, how are we going to get them on Karg Island?
03:52:24.000Do you understand that Iran has destroyed at least 13 bases?
03:52:31.000Iran hit the Gerald Ford and took it out of commission.
03:52:36.000They told us about the Gerald Ford that there was a fire in the laundry room.
03:52:42.000Well, it's being repaired for two weeks.
03:52:44.000You're telling me that the biggest and most sophisticated U.S. carrier, which is the biggest and most expensive class of ships that we have, the Ford class carrier, you're telling me that got taken offline for two weeks because of a fire in the laundry room?
03:53:53.000We can't protect our floating base, which is the carrier.
03:53:58.000How are we going to protect an island that's off the coast of Iran?
03:54:02.000And the coastline of Iran is 600 miles.
03:54:06.000So you've got 600 miles of coastline from which Iranians are going to be launching fiber optic drones that can't be jammed, literally have an unspooling fiber optic cable behind it connected to the receiver.
03:54:21.000How are you going to shoot down hundreds of drones flying at the island?
03:54:26.000How are you going to shoot down what may be Iran's most precise and advanced missiles that they haven't used yet?
03:54:33.000Because they're waiting to exhaust U.S. interceptors.
03:54:37.000The inevitable conclusion is that this is a suicide mission, wherever we do it, whether we do it on Karg Island or whether we do it in the Strait of Hormuz.
03:57:06.000They're not going to let the United States take control of their energy and then they're negotiating on unfavorable terms, give up their missiles, their nukes, their proxies, their oil, and wait for the United States to topple their government.
04:00:52.000It comes down to whether this operation succeeds.
04:00:55.000And literally, it could go either way.
04:00:58.000And the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
04:01:00.000If Trump can get a deal and de-escalate, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
04:01:05.000The Antichrist and his arrival is postponed.
04:01:09.000But if we fail and Americans die, get ready for another year of $200 oil.
04:01:16.000Get ready for oil to be $200 a gallon until 2028.
04:01:22.000And whatever the knock-on effects are of that on our AI economy, there are a lot of indicators that this is not going to go the way you think it will.
04:01:35.000That is the current state of the conflict.
04:01:38.000Now, in the meantime, they're prepping JD Vance to take over the peace talks.
04:01:43.000We covered this on Tuesday, and I am so vindicated.
04:02:52.000So David Sachs, because he's not a cabinet level appointee, I don't know how all these regulations work, but there's a lot of regulations about how and under what conditions you can hire people in the administration.
04:03:06.000He was brought on for a limited time role.
04:03:08.000He only had 120 days as an AI czar, unofficial post.
04:03:22.000But his term just expired, but not before last week, he was the first Trump administration official, technically speaking, to say the war should end.
04:03:35.000Then a few days later, Joe Kent resigned as the director of counterterrorism under the DNI with his letter saying that he's against the war in Iran.
04:03:44.000Then he went on Tucker the following day.
04:03:48.000And you know what I said two weeks ago?
04:05:23.000And Peter Thiel has known Tucker since 92.
04:05:26.000They've all been there since the beginning.
04:05:28.000JD Vance, as you know, is a creation of Peter Thiel.
04:05:34.000JD Vance met Peter Thiel and he was at Yale, and Vance said that was the most important meeting of his lifetime.
04:05:41.000And Peter Thiel hooked him up with his first job in Silicon Valley at some biotech firm.
04:05:46.000And then Peter Thiel hooked him up with his job at a venture capital firm.
04:05:50.000And then Peter Thiel hired him at his venture capital firm.
04:05:54.000And then when Vance started his own venture capital firm, Peter Thiel funded it.
04:05:58.000And that venture capital firm invested in other companies that Peter Thiel had invested in.
04:06:03.000And then when Vance ran for Senate, Peter Thiel funded it to the tune of $15 million, as did David Sachs, who gave him a million dollars.
04:06:13.000And when JD Vance sought the vice presidency, it was Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and David Sachs, and Tucker Carlson that persuaded Trump to nominate him.
04:06:25.000When Vance ran for Senate, Tucker Carlson promoted him 45 times on Fox News and their friends.
04:06:32.000And Tucker Carlson's son, Buckley, works in JD Vance's office, the press office, as a matter of fact.
04:08:00.000So when David Sachs says he's against the war, and then Joe Kent says he's resigning from the admin over the war, and then Tucker interviews Joe Kent, you can bet that something is going on with JD Vance.
04:08:44.000The Israelis, the Jews, Zionists, they want to get Rubio in his position instead.
04:08:49.000So they are actually perfectly happy to see Trump fail because of the Iran war because they know that Vance will fail with the administration and they want him to.
04:09:01.000As they're playing a lot of games to convince people that Vance is responsible for the war.
04:09:07.000And they're trying to have him hanged alongside Trump by this catastrophe, which is the war.
04:09:13.000So Vance's people are running a counter operation to save him from that culpability.
04:09:20.000They are trying to promote him as the negotiator who will end the war.
04:09:26.000So that's why they got David Sachs and Joe Ken out there protesting the war because they want Trump to see that.
04:09:35.000And inside the admin and outside the admin, they're suggesting that maybe Vance should be the one that extricates Trump from this quagmire.
04:09:49.000So there's been all these reports since this weekend, this weekend, that the only man for the job to end the war is Vance.
04:09:59.000And this is coming from inside and outside.
04:10:02.000It seems there are elements inside the administration that want Vance to lead the charge.
04:10:08.000So now the Israelis are going to the press and saying, well, the only people that want Vance to take the initiative on this are the Iranians.
04:10:18.000Vance's allies inside and outside are saying, if anyone can bring an end to the conflict, it's JD Vance because they want him to be at that negotiating table, getting the credit for ending the war.
04:10:57.000Miriam Adelson's paper in Israel said Vance and Netanyahu are fighting.
04:11:02.000And the New York Post, a Murdoch-owned paper, friend of Netanyahu, says the only people that want Vance to negotiate with the Iranians are the Iranians.
04:11:32.000The Vance people are lobbying Trump to let Vance take the lead and solve his Iran problem.
04:11:38.000The Israelis are lobbying Trump, saying the only people that want Vance to lead it are the enemy because they think they can take advantage of him.
04:11:50.000And I anticipated this and I told you this was the case.
04:11:54.000And this is the story from Axios from Barack Ravid.
04:11:58.000It says, quote, Vice President JD Vance is preparing to take on the most important assignment of his career, steering U.S. efforts to end a war he'd been concerned about waging in the first place.
04:12:34.000It says Vance has already made multiple calls with Netanyahu, met Gulf allies about the war, and has been involved in indirect communications with the Iranians.
04:12:43.000He's expected to be the top U.S. negotiator in potential peace talks.
04:13:25.000Vance was highly skeptical of Israel's rosy pre-war assessment of how the war would unfold and currently expects the war to continue for another few weeks, say U.S. and Israeli sources.
04:13:45.000Interesting that some of the stateside sources from the Times say he was all in, but some of the Israeli sources and U.S. sources say no, he was very skeptical.
04:13:56.000It's hard to know what to believe here.
04:13:59.000Vance advisors think some in Israel are trying to undermine the VP, possibly because they find him insufficiently hawkish.
04:14:09.000President Trump made Vance's role official in a cabinet meeting on Thursday, asking the VP to give an update on Iran and noting that he was working with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on the negotiations.
04:14:21.000A senior official said if the Iranians can't strike a deal with Vance, they don't get a deal.
04:14:34.000A White House official sought to tam down the speculation, saying that Witkoff and Kushner are still working their lines and the VP is ready to play his part if negotiations ripen, but we aren't there yet.
04:14:47.000The Iranians need to decide if and how they want to come to the table.
04:14:51.000Administration officials suspect foreign agents of spreading the word that Iran wants to negotiate with Vance.
04:14:57.000Vance advisor Andrew Sarabian said on X that a CNN report to that effect was evidence of a foreign propaganda op.
04:15:09.000An administration official told Axios, referring to the narrative that the Iranians see Vance as inclined to cut a deal and get out, it's an Israeli op against JD.
04:15:19.000There's no evidence of such an Israeli operation, says Axios.
04:15:23.000White House officials started suspecting that some in the Israeli government were trying to smear Vance after a difficult phone call on Monday between Netanyahu and Vance.
04:15:33.000In the call, Vance mentioned that several of Netanyahu's predictions about the war had proven to be too optimistic, particularly when it came to prospects of a popular uprising to topple the regime, according to an Israeli and U.S. source.
04:15:47.000The day after that call, a right-wing Israeli newspaper owned by Miriam Adelson reported that Vance had yelled at Netanyahu over the issue of settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
04:16:00.000Multiple U.S. and Israeli sources said the story was erroneous, and Vance advisors suspected it was leaked by the Israeli side.
04:16:08.000An Israeli official denied Netanyahu planted the story and said his office had actually denied it when approached by reporters from multiple outlets.
04:16:38.000Because his competitive advantage, his comparative advantage against Rubio is that he's America first, a national populist, and so on.
04:16:48.000Rubio as Secretary of State may not serve the full four years.
04:16:52.000And either way, he will be credited with the Caribbean portfolio, not the Middle East.
04:17:00.000He will be credited for the successful Southern spear operation, the takeover in Venezuela, the operation forthcoming in Cuba, not the debacle in the Middle East.
04:17:35.000I don't because I'm a Christian and I hate blood guilt.
04:17:38.000So I agree with Tucker on a lot of things.
04:17:41.000I don't agree that when he says things like hummicing Pharisees that killed Christ, I'm like, hey, man, I don't agree with the blood guilt, okay?
04:17:51.000We all killed Christ because our sins put him on the cross.
04:18:30.000After my interview with Tucker, after the Tucker cost, Republican Jewish Coalition held a summit in Vegas.
04:18:38.000And Mark Levin, the chief propagandist in the war, he said, we the Jews have our resources, our clout, our positions, and we're going to use them.
04:18:49.000He said, and we're going to be watching very carefully at who associates with who and who disavows who.
04:18:55.000He said, and we're going to make our decisions for 2028.
04:21:15.000Because that's the line they're going to use during the primary.
04:21:20.000They're going to take a negative and turn it into a positive.
04:21:22.000It goes from Vance was a pussy and hid because he didn't want to be blamed for this catastrophic war to Vance was quiet because he didn't want to go.
04:21:34.000He didn't want to defy his president, his boss, but he had his reservations.
04:21:39.000And in the end, he was the lead negotiator that ended the war.
04:22:39.000But so the Israelis, they are poisoning the well.
04:22:42.000If Team Vance is trying to save him by anointing him, the lead negotiator who will save us from the war, the Israelis are sabotaging this effort.
04:22:54.000They're going into the Israeli press and saying, you know, Vance hates Israel.
04:22:59.000They're going into the American press and they're saying the only people that want Vance to lead the negotiations are the Iranians because the Iranians know they could pull one over on him.
04:23:09.000And it tracks because they're saying that Tucker is a Qatari and an Iranian, right?
04:23:15.000If they say the Iranians want Vance and the people that want Vance to lead the negotiations are the Iranians, well, they say Tucker is pro-Iran.
04:23:24.000They say that whole scene is Iranian, Qatari.
04:24:04.000If Miriam Adelson and Rupert Murdoch are poisoning the well and they're trying to hurt Vance, if Mark Levin is against Vance, then that's a good thing for Vance.
04:24:16.000That being said, I am a little bit still skeptical.
04:24:21.000The reason, number one, they want to save Vance more than that.
04:24:26.000Number two, these people that are either involved with the foreign government or the CIA, I'm talking about Tucker, Kent, Vance, Sachs, Peter Thiel.
04:24:37.000To the extent that they are against the war, it is not because they are against Israel.
04:25:31.000They actually see Israel as an indispensable ally.
04:25:34.000They just believe that the hardliners in Israel, the hardliners, a faction of the regime, want the United States to do more than is in our interest and would be detrimental because we need to do things elsewhere, specifically in China.
04:28:07.000They have a much larger industrial base and so on.
04:28:11.000But China's got some problems baked in.
04:28:13.000And at the end of the day, we can share the world with China.
04:28:17.000And China has not penetrated our system to the same extent as the Jews.
04:28:23.000And so I really believe that if your posture is we could be friends with Israel, we just need to kind of get them to back off a little bit so that we can focus on China.
04:28:33.000Directionally, I'm not against that, but I think you're putting the cart before the horse.
04:28:37.000I think we have to actually prioritize extricating our society from the influence of international Jewry first.
04:28:46.000Although that sounds crazy, I think first you got to get these Jews out of AI.
04:28:53.000That's our number one national security threat.
04:28:56.000Yes, there's a race going on between Chinese AI and American AI.
04:29:02.000But American AI isn't even American because it's run by Sam Altman.
04:30:58.000I believe Sam Altman officiated his wedding, his gay wedding, his literal gay wedding to his husband, Keith Raboy, who is at Facebook, I believe.
04:31:09.000And Jacob Hellberg is like a pro-Israel Jew.
04:31:11.000Now he's an AI technology advisor in the government.
04:31:15.000And Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, they're working together.
04:31:19.000Alex Karp and Sam Altman are working together.
04:31:21.000These people are all running in the same circle.
04:31:24.000So the idea that we're going to put Little Tech JD Vance, who wants to work with Israel, not the hardliners, but the other elements to take on China, I don't trust them and I don't trust that.
04:31:38.000So yes, they're trying to bring an end to the war in Iran to save Vance.
04:31:42.000Also, because they're prioritizers as a faction in the Pentagon, they want to prioritize Indo-Pacific over Europe and the Middle East.
04:31:51.000But the real priority is that we get our sovereignty back.
04:31:56.000And that seems to be a non-starter when you have Little Tech infiltrated by the Israelis and Vance represents all of them.
04:32:05.000They're the kingmaker for Vance's ascendancy.
04:34:25.000But you don't because you're just a stupid liberal.
04:34:29.000But you wouldn't know any of that because you're just a stupid liberal and all your ideological priors are wrong because you have to sit there and insist that it's Israel, not Jews, and there's something inherently wrong with the ideological foundations scaffolding for our critique of Jewish influence.
04:34:50.000You have to insist upon this because you are a stupid liberal and that is why you're never going to get it.
04:34:58.000So take off the glasses and shut the fuck up.
04:40:53.000Although we'll all continue to hide our power levels, the teens and I are going to break out and get something new that we can either wear indoors or smuggle it into our various rallies, etc.
04:41:40.000Would you rather be an organic meat on cutting board food as fuel chud or married to a slut who's busting it down in a clav sprinter van while you say happy wife, happy life at home?
04:45:37.000Democrats sent a drill Tuesday through reliably Red Florida, flipping two legislative seats, including the district containing President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
04:47:05.000I know it's Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, France, because you got French Guyana, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti.
04:47:47.000I guess I don't really know how big if it's everything from like America to, because then it's then it's like the South American coast and the U.S. coast.
04:49:12.000Data centers are outpacing office in terms of construction and commercial real estate.
04:49:20.000So if AI collapses, well, the software side is going to collapse.
04:49:24.000The hardware side, NVIDIA is going to collapse.
04:49:26.000The construction it supported is going to collapse.
04:49:29.000The materials, they, you know, it's, it's like it's all going to get more expensive.
04:49:34.000Every homeowners' insurance, mortgage rates, the raw materials, commodities, it's like everything's going up, which means everything is going down.
04:50:17.000I mean, if that's not a sign that you ain't it, if you see an art like the pope of your religion becomes a girl and you're like, we got to fix this.
04:53:20.000Sneeko streaming in mosques with European Muslims reminds me of white evangelicals posting photo dumps with black kids on their Africa missionary trip.
04:56:11.000It wouldn't be like a benign, like, hey, we got to pick our battles.
04:56:15.000If I was doing it for you, I would have switched sides and become a malicious inquisitor, like maliciously hurt you on purpose for money.
04:56:25.000I would have, I would have done the opposite.
04:56:27.000I would do things that lose money to hurt you more.
04:56:30.000As opposed to like not taking the money out of principal, I would go out of my way to lose money to inflict more pain because I get off on the cruelty more.
04:59:07.000Do you think the aspect of drone warfare footage has also changed or as in no way America could tolerate the demoralization of soldiers being blown up like the primitive war of Russia and Ukraine?
04:59:14.000That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
05:18:52.000I was talking to my BF about your merch and he said he's probably got a sweatshop in some abandoned Chicago warehouse full of illegals that he plans on handing over to ICE when Payday comes around.
05:21:50.000Lindsey Graham said on Bill O'Reilly that Iran are religious Nazis and if you don't believe that you're wrong.
05:21:54.000It's like hey buddy I'm already buying.
05:21:55.000Gordita Jr. Haroom for cent $20, like the big smoking gun about Epstein as he worked with a mafioso who died 35 years ago and whose family has no power anymore.
05:22:02.000Gordon Jr. Haroom for cent $20, three-thirds these MFS just allergic to saying it's a Jewish thing and add to some other safe kosher version of it.
05:22:08.000Yeah, great observab that that definitely was a good observation needed three.
05:26:19.000Huge special thank you to Huey Long Respecter, Zog Chow, Enjoyer, Ginger Groyper, Palesto Pale, Groyper, Mom, Sailing Boy, Titty Sprinkles, Houston Wagey, Rhodesian Groyper, High Speed, Sneed, Unity, Not Diversity.
