00:05:11.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:25.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:30.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:09.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:13.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:20.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:27.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:35.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:38.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:52.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:56.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:00.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:06.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:10.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:40.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:45.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:00.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:09.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and,
00:09:25.000of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure For the future and the success of that movement.
00:09:40.000We've paved the way with our courts, those broipers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, even people that killed themselves.
00:09:49.000Our courts has paved the way for you now to walk over.
00:09:54.000And you can't give us acknowledgement.
00:10:09.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:10:15.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
00:11:38.000Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs, and little kids are ice skating in the park, and people are driving around, and they're driving clean cars, and the houses are maintained and kept up, and you go down to the bakery, and you get a...
00:12:19.000we can't even get into the transportation.
00:12:21.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
00:12:27.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
00:13:51.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
00:13:57.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
00:14:02.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
00:14:09.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
00:18:57.000We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.
00:19:02.000We have to want it more than they do because there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny that nothing can stop us and nothing will.
00:26:57.000The President: Years from now, some of the Some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:34:51.000I wish that you cocaine-like patients are with us.
00:34:55.000No narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:35:00.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:35:14.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:35:24.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that.
00:35:55.000Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, we're all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:36:01.000it's not too big It's wrong, isn't it?
00:45:55.000I'd like to propose a toast to the Voipers, to White Boy Summer, White Boy Century, to the reaction and the reclamation of the United States.
00:48:23.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:48:29.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th, parked just across the river from New York City, has not gone away.
00:49:13.000We paved the way with our corpseless roipers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, Even people that killed themselves.
00:49:40.000Our courses paved the way for you now to walk over.
00:49:44.000And you can't give us acknowledgement?
00:51:21.000You know, against all the hate, against all odds, against all the snipes, and the jabs, and the feds, and the journalists, and the doubters, and the traitors, and the deceivers, the human beings got to rise up!
00:51:34.000And we gotta do what must be done no matter what.
00:51:37.000With the power of God, with the will of God guiding us.
00:56:35.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
00:56:43.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:57:00.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:57:08.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:57:18.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:59:10.000Like, you thought you were going to tap?
00:59:12.000We got the screen to pressure Trump, except one problem: Elon owns the platform.
00:59:18.000But now the check marks are being removed, which means people are being de-amplified, and it's being manipulated.
00:59:27.000They're manipulating the conversation.
00:59:28.000And Elon retweeted today, or reposted, Trump saying in June, "Staple the green cards to the diplomas." And that's a reminder, "Hey, this is what we got.
01:06:52.000*outro music* God is turning everything.
01:07:17.000Warming on everybody who dared to vote.
01:08:41.000Warming on everybody who dared to vote.
01:08:59.000And people don't realize what they have.
01:09:04.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
01:09:18.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
01:09:23.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
01:11:02.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:11:06.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:11:13.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:11:20.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:11:28.000People have got to start to get courageous.
01:11:31.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
01:11:45.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
01:11:49.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
01:11:52.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
01:11:59.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
01:12:03.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
01:12:32.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
01:12:38.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

01:13:33.000We paved the way with our courts, those droifers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, even people that killed themselves.
01:13:42.000Our courts has paved the way for you now to walk over.
01:13:46.000And you can't give us acknowledgement.
01:14:01.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
01:14:08.000One report about a group of Middle Eastern men spotted the morning of September 11th parked just across the river from New York City has not gone away.
01:15:31.000Go to a nice suburb where the lawns are nicely kept, where the mailman walks around and delivers the mail, where people are walking their dogs and little kids are ice skating in the park.
01:15:44.000And people are driving around and they're driving clean cars and the houses are maintained and kept up and you go down to the bakery and you get a...
01:16:12.000we can't even get into the transportation.
01:16:14.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
01:16:19.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
01:17:43.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
01:17:50.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
01:17:55.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
01:18:02.000And ignoring, living in a sort of self-imposed naivete or delusion about what's going on just outside the city gates, outside of the gated community, on the other side of the tracks, downtown, wherever.
01:22:58.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us.
01:30:04.000And then there was an emergency meeting today apparently at the Pentagon where the chief of staff, defense secretary, vice president were all summoned to the Pentagon.
01:30:16.000They've moved the doomsday plane, Air Force One, to Andrews Base in Maryland.
01:30:24.000And so all signs are pointing towards a major U.S. intervention in Iran at any time.
01:30:30.000And both sides are getting ready for it.
01:30:34.000Something like three dozen refueling aircraft to the Middle East as well as fighter jets.
01:30:39.000The United Kingdom is sending assets to the region as well.
01:30:43.000On the other side, Iran is getting ready.
01:30:46.000They're preparing to lay mines in the Persian Gulf, potentially to trap American vessels inside.
01:30:53.000They're also lining up their shot with their proxies in Iraq and elsewhere to bomb American bases.
01:31:02.000Starting most likely in Baghdad, in Iraq, but then they could target other American bases in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates as well.
01:31:14.000I think everybody knows which way it's leaning, and the president seems to be leaning in a particular direction.
01:31:21.000I think we'll know by the end of the week whether this is going to kick off a major regional conflict.
01:31:28.000So we'll talk about where the United States is, where Trump is on all this, and we'll talk about how this is lining up, how the whole world is going to react once it kicks off.
01:31:39.000We'll also talk about some other things tonight.
01:31:43.000There's some different ideas I've been hearing all week, which are just ridiculous.
01:31:47.000I've been hearing a lot about Pakistan.
01:31:49.000I've been hearing about Russia and China.
01:31:55.000is like, It is really something to behold.
01:32:01.000And there's a lot of lessons to be learned this past week about everything, about the relationship between Israel and the United States, about who's really the victim in all this, and maybe victim narratives in general, and so much to be learned about the Jewish question and the state of Israel.
01:32:21.000But couched inside all of it is yet another lesson about the state of Republican right-wing politics in America.
01:32:29.000Because you have seen, with breakneck speed, literally whiplash speed, Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles and Stephen Crowder, they have changed their position, I think, four times in five days.
01:32:47.000And it went from last week, no new wars, we shouldn't get involved, let them fight it out over there.
01:32:53.000Then they changed the position to, well, we shouldn't get involved.
01:32:58.000Then, once we did get involved, they said, well, we shouldn't get involved offensively.
01:33:15.000Defensively and supplying one side with offensive and defensive weapons and shooting down the ballistics of the other side, but not offensively.
01:33:27.000And now they're taking a new line, which is, hey, well, you know, Trump campaigned on ending Iran's nuclear program, so you can't say he's being inconsistent.
01:35:37.000If anybody has accused me of being, you know, obsessed with Israel or talk too much about Israel, okay, well, this is my time to shine because this has everything to do with Israel, and it's undeniable.
01:35:56.000Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble.
01:36:01.000If you're not already following me, smash the follow button, smash the like button, leave a like on the video, leave a comment below, tell me what you think about the show.
01:36:31.000There haven't been any significant developments, major developments, pointing towards significant developments, but no major breakthrough today.
01:36:40.000So we'll do a little more analysis of the conflict tonight, and then if it's another lull tomorrow, we'll talk about some other things.
01:36:48.000We need to do a little catch-up on immigration.
01:36:52.000We need to do a catch-up on the big, beautiful bill.
01:36:56.000Which apparently has this new Senate version of the bill has slashed border and deportation funding, as I predicted.
01:37:07.000I feel a little self-conscious saying that because I say it all the time, but I did.
01:37:13.000I mean, I said this is what's going to happen.
01:37:15.000the immigration and deportation monies, they're going to take a chainsaw to it.
01:37:20.000The moment that they started disagreeing about certain aspects of the bill or how they would pass it, I said, this ends in one way, which is they're going to take a wood chipper to the border spending.
01:38:49.000How is it possible that we were promised no new wars by Trump, who his entire political career was sort of based on rejecting Iraq and the legacy of nation-building and neoconservatives and foreign influence?
01:39:42.000So you say to yourself, how is it possible?
01:39:44.000It's a very important question how we arrived in this place which is surprising to so many people and unthinkable or was previously unthinkable to so many people.
01:39:56.000Well, that it is unthinkable has everything to do with how we got here.
01:40:11.000And this has everything to do with the information or misinformation, disinformation that's being spread this week.
01:40:19.000So before we get into the latest on the battlefield in Iran and Israel, I do want to talk about how conservative influencers are treating all of this.
01:40:29.000Because really, if you're not paying attention to this, you need to be.
01:40:34.000And by paying attention, I mean you need to notice What they're saying, how they're treating the subject, and why.
01:40:43.000These conservative influencers, and I'll name some names, guys like Charlie Kirk, Stephen Crowder, Jack Posobiec, D.C. Drano, I forget his real name, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh.
01:41:13.000I think you could distinguish them from some other conservative commentators and say that that little group that I just named, like the Charlie Kirks, the Crowders, they have a harder edge, you could say, than some of the more mainstream guys.
01:41:26.000They are mainstream, but – They're from a very pro-Trump wing.
01:42:54.000When Israel fired the first shot in a deliberate attempt, in a defiant move to sabotage Trump's diplomacy, to drag the United States into a regime change war, these guys didn't say anything.
01:43:10.000And if you were paying attention on Thursday, they were posting polls, a poll, an opinion poll on Twitter.
01:43:18.000Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec and usual suspects.
01:43:23.000Normally, you'd get a hot take, fresh off the presses.
01:43:27.000Oh, the Democrats, the left, the wokesters, this, that, and the other, right?
01:43:33.000Normally, when it's a mass shooting, when it's a major press release, when it's a police-involved shooting, any kind of flashpoint for conflict, any kind of cultural flashpoint, you would get hot off the presses, some hot take.
01:43:52.000About the Democrats left and something of that nature.
01:44:50.000We have in an ad hoc way appropriated his non-interventionist rhetoric, even though it's never really been consistent with his real policies.
01:45:02.000They said, so how do we sell this one to the base?
01:45:05.000How do we satisfy Trump, who wants us to support intervention?
01:45:10.000How do we satisfy our Zionist donors, who want us to support their war?
01:45:16.000But also, how do we placate our audience, which is stridently opposed to regime change and opposed to Middle Eastern wars?
01:45:25.000So you could see for a couple of days, they were very quiet.
01:47:28.000And then the following day when Israel attacked Iran and Trump said we knew about it, they said, well, Israel can attack, they can attack Iran, but we shouldn't join them.
01:47:38.000We should let Israel do the attack by themselves.
01:48:55.000But the United States is actively involved in shooting down Iran's missiles that are launched at Israel.
01:49:01.000The United States' threat of force against Iran and all the other countries in the region deters them from attacking Israel, and that enables Israel to attack them without any cost, and it emboldens them.
01:49:18.000So, strategically, tactically, militarily, Offensively and defensively, we are already involved in every way, shape, and form.
01:49:30.000So when they changed their tune a little bit, they went from saying no new wars, then they said, well, it's Israel's war.
01:50:48.000Unless there is open dissent against it, it won't change.
01:50:53.000So if they can convince people that it's not our problem and we should be indifferent to it because we're not involved and it's Israel's war, then nobody's going to speak out against it.
01:51:05.000Then nobody is going to be there vocally opposed and dissenting.
01:51:10.000And if that's the case, then the status quo, without interruption, without intervention, will continue.
01:51:16.000So this is a form of creating a form of implicit consent.
01:51:20.000And I've talked about this idea a lot.
01:51:23.000Somewhere along the way, in the past five or six years, the Israel lobby realized that Americans were not going to support a super pro-Israel interventionist foreign policy.
01:51:39.000They realized the tide had turned and the idea that Americans are going to be these super evangelical Zionists waving the Israeli flag saying, you know, we're going to die for Israel and we're going to fight Arabs and terrorists.
01:51:53.000And the Israelis realized we got hip to that.
01:51:58.000So instead, what they did is the AIPAC is still behind them.
01:52:05.000The Israel lobby is still behind them.
01:52:07.000It is chugged along throughout Trump's first term, Biden's term, and now Trump's second term.
01:52:13.000The revolution in their strategy was to convince Americans to be indifferent and say things like, Let Israel fight their own battles.
01:52:22.000Let's give Israel the weapons to fight Iran.
01:52:25.000Let's give Israel the tools to conduct their own foreign policy.
01:52:28.000And that's a gift to us because then we can disengage.
01:52:32.000So that was the first pivot and it contained a lie.
01:52:37.000So they went from no new wars to, well, we shouldn't get involved.
01:52:42.000Then America got involved Friday morning and Iran began sending ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones and I think some cruise missiles over at Israel in these barrages, these waves of hundreds of missiles at a time.
01:53:01.000And everyone's air force was activated to defend Israel.
01:53:05.000The Israeli Air Force, the Jordanian Air Force, the British Air Force, the French Air Force, and yes, the United States Air Force was deployed from Qatar.
01:54:01.000Because if the United States is directly striking Iran, then Iran would be forced to directly strike us and attack our bases.
01:54:11.000Attack Baghdad, attack the Emirates, maybe Qatar, Saudi Arabia, something like that, Syria, Jordan.
01:54:19.000And then Americans would die and we would get sucked in and then it would turn into a big problem.
01:54:24.000So they changed it again and said, well, we shouldn't have offensive strikes.
01:54:28.000But once again, there's another lie in there.
01:54:31.000Because, and I'm not going to belabor this one too much, but there is no distinction between offensive and defensive support.
01:54:39.000In a conflict, if somebody comes and shoots your entire family and someone else didn't pull the trigger but they gave that person the gun and the bullets to do it, and if you tried to hunt that person down, that person would kill you, the other guy would kill you, it's a distinction without a difference.
01:54:59.000If the United States is giving Israel the weapons that bomb Iran, giving them the intelligence and coordinates, Does it really matter whether we're bombing Iran directly or whether we're just helping Israel bomb Iran directly and making it low or no cost for Israel to bomb Iran directly?
01:55:29.000In the same way that it matters very little how we're being involved in Ukraine.
01:55:34.000And that hasn't stopped the same people from criticizing our defensive intervention in Ukraine, or in Taiwan for that matter, or in a number of other conflicts.
01:55:54.000So we're going to get into this a little bit later tonight, but it is becoming clear that the United States is preparing to intervene in the conflict.
01:56:03.000Specifically, The United States is going to use its B-2 stealth bombers to drop massive ordnance penetrator bunker-busting bombs on Iran's nuclear facility at Fordow because Israel does not have these capabilities.
01:56:20.000They do not have a strategic air force.
01:56:22.000They do not have a massive ordnance penetrator.
01:56:25.000They don't have big enough bunker-busters.
01:59:07.000Maybe It is not outside the realm of possibility that a nuclear weapon is deployed, either against Iran or some form of a dirty bomb or something, a weapon of mass destruction, against another country before this is over.
01:59:31.000Moreover, because of the alignment of other states like Russia and China, It's looking unlikely, but it's still a possibility that great powers can be drawn in and this could turn into an intercontinental global conflict.
01:59:46.000In the midst of this, what Republican influencers seem to be concerned about is whether we think Trump is a hypocrite.
02:03:12.000That's the same situation happening now.
02:03:15.000I supported Trump because he was criticizing Bush, George Bush and Jeb Bush and Rubio and others then on that basis because I thought that Trump was going to withdraw our troops from the Middle East, not give them permanent bases in Syria and Iraq, not get us into another regime change war in the Persian Gulf to take out weapons of mass destruction that don't exist.
02:03:44.000And the line they're going with is something like, well, Trump always said he was going for the nukes, and they're saying, and that's a good thing.
02:03:53.000They're saying, we don't support regime change, but we do support going after Iran's nuclear weapons.
02:04:01.000And this is sort of like yet another, it's like a similar package deal with, well, Trump always said we were going after Iran's nukes.
02:04:09.000Now the Charlie Kirk They say death to America.
02:04:35.000Once again, just like saying we shouldn't get involved, just like saying we shouldn't go on offense, just like saying, you know, Trump always said we're going to take out their nukes.
02:06:11.000It is the official Islamic doctrine of the Supreme Leader, the head of Shiite Islam in Iran, that it is against Islamic law to acquire a bomb.
02:06:23.000Now, people can say they don't believe that.
02:06:27.000People can say that Iran has covertly acquired a bomb with a clandestine weapons program and they don't trust him.
02:06:44.000When they blamed bin Laden for attacking the Twin Towers on 9-11, and they talk about how...
02:06:54.000They never mentioned that in Bin Laden's fatwa against the United States, Bin Laden said that he was coming for America because of our support for Israel, because of U.S. bases in the Hejaz in Saudi Arabia, because of the Israeli war in Lebanon in 1982, that that was the inspiration for various attacks.
02:07:23.000Moreover, for all this talk about nuclear proliferation, it is U.S. doctrine to oppose the proliferation of all WMDs, all weapons of mass destruction, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.
02:07:38.000There is one country in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons.
02:07:47.000Israel is not a signatory on the non-proliferation treaty.
02:07:52.000Israel maintains a secretive, covert, undeclared arsenal of at least 200 nuclear bombs, deliverable by missile plane and submarine.
02:08:03.000Israel acquired a nuclear bomb by stealing nuclear technology from other countries, including the United States, and nuclear material from other countries, including the United States.
02:08:16.000They evaded international and U.S. inspections throughout the 60s in order to acquire this.
02:08:24.000I saw earlier today, Charlie Kirk and others have said, I don't know why.
02:08:52.000Because Israel triggered an arms race in the Middle East.
02:08:57.000Israel, in the 1950s, it became an obsession.
02:09:02.000Of their leadership to acquire the bomb by any means necessary.
02:09:07.000David Ben-Gurion, it was said, it was literally his obsession to the point of nervous breakdowns that Israel acquire the bomb.
02:09:16.000Probably they killed Jack Kennedy in order to pursue the bomb.
02:09:21.000And then throughout the 80s, throughout the 90s, throughout the 2000s, Israel sabotaged the nuclear weapons programs of every other one of their neighbors to suppress Their deterrent capability.
02:09:33.000In 1981, Iraq was developing a nuclear reactor in collaboration with France.
02:09:42.000Probably they wanted a nuclear weapon to counter Israel and balance Israel's nuclear weapon.
02:09:49.000Israel bombed their nuclear program in 81. In 1990, the United States invaded Iraq.
02:09:56.000In 2003, we invaded and overthrew their government.
02:10:00.000In 2007, Israel bombed Syria's nuclear program.
02:10:06.000Four years later, a civil war started and the United States, Turkey, Israel, and Saudi Arabia supported various Islamist extremist groups up to and including ISIS to overthrow Assad's government.
02:10:41.000Why have they been put on the pathway to a latent nuclear weapons program or a threshold status between a peaceful program and something like a weapons program, to answer J.D. Vance's question?
02:10:53.000Because if you start in the middle of the story, it doesn't make sense.
02:10:58.000If you start at the beginning, you see that Israel triggered an arms race, secured the ultimate weapon, The ultimate capability and has used that as leverage to prosecute regime change wars against all of its neighbors.
02:11:14.000It's only in response as a reaction that every other country has tried to defend themselves and ultimately failed and were then destroyed by Israel.
02:11:30.000Now, I only lay that out to say, when people talk about Iran, you know, I saw Glenn Beck say this the other day.
02:11:36.000Glenn Beck said that the mullahs want a nuclear bomb to wash the world in blood and pave the way for the Mahdi or the 12th Imam or something like that.
02:11:46.000That's this theological, eschatological vision that they have for the world.
02:11:52.000They're trying to hasten the end of time by getting a nuke and killing everybody.
02:12:03.000Or is it in reality that Israel acquired the bomb and forced everybody else into an arms race to protect themselves from regime change by Israel?
02:12:14.000Now they say that, well, Israel had to strike Iran, and now the United States does too because of their nuclear program.
02:12:21.000Well, I'd like to read to you a report.
02:12:27.000It says that as of Thursday, When Israel initiated the attack on Iran, Iran did not have nukes, was not pursuing nukes, and was at best three years away from acquiring one.
02:12:47.000When they tell you, well, you know, look, Trump always said we were going to denuclearize Iran.
02:12:54.000When they tell you we're going to bomb their nukes and nothing else.
02:12:58.000When they tell you Iran wants to get a nuke to wash the world in blood because they're crazy Muslims and they just want to kill everybody for no reason.
02:13:08.000Iran does not have nukes, is not pursuing nukes currently, and is at best three years away from a decision to make one to actually acquiring one.
02:13:23.000It says, quote, When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it issued a number of dire warnings about the country's nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.
02:13:42.000But U.S. intelligence assessments had reached a different conclusion.
02:13:47.000Not only was Iran not pursuing a nuclear weapon, it was up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one to a target of its choosing.
02:13:57.000Now, after days of Israeli strikes, U.S. intelligence officials believe that so far, Israel may have set back Iran's nuclear program by only a matter of months.
02:14:07.000Even as Israel has done significant damage to Iran's facility at Natanz, which houses the most centrifuges necessary to enrich uranium, a second heavily fortified site at Fordow remains effectively untouched.
02:14:54.000And the only reason we're even at this point, and let's be honest, Iran is a threshold state.
02:15:00.000That's not a legal technical status, but it is what they are.
02:15:04.000The only reason they've come this far, in spite of declaring it contrary to their law, in spite of being open to inspections and negotiations and the rest of it, is because Israel has the bomb and Israel, in concert with the United States, has carried out regime change in like eight countries in the past 30 years.
02:16:26.000This is part of a pattern, maybe in a vacuum, maybe if you woke up on Thursday and had amnesia, you had short-term memory loss or something, you could say, well, we're just going into bomb Iran's nukes.
02:16:38.000The nukes that they don't have, the nukes that they're not pursuing, the threshold status that they only have maintained because Israel's destroyed every other country from the safety of their underground nuclear bunker.
02:16:53.000And now we're being sold a limited strike without casualties, without regime change.
02:17:01.000They're denuclearizing Iran for regime change.
02:17:52.000Of course that's what they're advocating.
02:17:54.000It's what they've always been advocating.
02:17:55.000Why would it be a problem if Iran had nukes or that there was even a good deal with the United States if their goal was anything other than regime change?
02:18:05.000So this is yet another deception, yet another disingenuous talking point.
02:18:11.000Marketing being foisted on us to cultivate indifference so that people say every step of the way, oh, well, let's just not pay attention to the gathering storm in the Middle East at all.
02:18:23.000Oh, well, conflict has broken out, but let's let them duke it out.
02:19:14.000This has nothing to do with democracy.
02:19:16.000This has nothing to do with liberal internationalism.
02:19:19.000We are at war with Iran because they pose a threat to Israel's hegemony.
02:19:25.000That's why we're bombing their nukes to pave the way for regime change so Israel can dominate the region because that makes them the most powerful they can be.
02:19:35.000They used their allies in the United States that aren't even Israeli.
02:20:43.000It is Jews on the Republican side, Jews on the Democratic side.
02:20:47.000They have counted upon, across the board, Jews on the basis of their loyalty to the Jewish nation worldwide to lobby the government for this ultimate strike.
02:23:37.000Do you think, for even one second, that if the United States stopped supporting Israel such that it imperiled Israel's survival and existence, Do you think the Jews in America would hesitate to treat the United States government like the government of Nazi Germany?
02:24:01.000All of the hatred, all of the seething, obsessive, histrionic, paranoid hatred that the Jews have for the Nazis, for Nazi Germany, for even for that matter, Iran and the Palestinians.
02:24:18.000Do you think for one second they would be incapable of harboring that against Americans if Americans did not protect Israel?
02:24:27.000If Americans were skeptical of Israel, distrusting of Jews, if America endeavored to disempower Jews so they couldn't force us to fight their wars?
02:24:38.000What do you think would happen if the U.S. government said Jewish billionaires can't put money in politics to make us fight wars for Israel?
02:24:46.000Mark my words, they would have the same hatred of America like they do for Nazi Germany.
02:25:38.000I also use it as a pejorative to mean a beast.
02:25:42.000A beast that looks like a man but is still a beast.
02:25:46.000And if you think that they reserve that hatred for the Palestinians but not us, that they're capable of harboring a hatred where they can have this collective guilt against the Palestinians but not us, that they can hate the Iranians or the Nazis or the Russians for that matter.
02:26:03.000The Russian czar and his family at the Winter Palace, but not Americans.
02:26:12.000As long as they adhere to Jewish supremacy.
02:26:15.000As long as they adhere to that religion.
02:26:18.000And what has become a form of a secular religion, an ethno-religion.
02:26:22.000Many of them, they don't even believe in the Old Testament, like Strauss, like others, but they still believe in their story, their nationhood, their victimization, their...
02:26:35.000That's the red pill at the center of it all.
02:26:42.000And pay attention to who's not telling you the whole story.
02:26:45.000The one other last thing before we get into the news, and this is another subtle thing.
02:26:52.000It's a bit more subtle than the Charlie Kirks and the Michael Knowles and all these other idiots.
02:26:57.000Something that Tucker Carlson and others are saying.
02:27:01.000They're talking about Iran and the regime change war that's about to unfold as though this is the plan of neocon planners in the deep state, in the government.
02:27:39.000We were told they were building weapons of mass destruction.
02:27:43.000We were also told that overthrowing Saddam Hussein had this big strategic significance because if we could create a democracy in Iraq, democracy might take root and spread to other countries.
02:28:02.000Liberal internationalism is a school of thought in international relations and it rests on a number of assumptions.
02:28:10.000One of those core tenets is democratic peace theory.
02:28:14.000It says that democracies don't declare war on each other.
02:28:18.000So if we turned Iraq into a democracy, and this was also, by the way, the thinking behind the Arab Spring in 2011, they said if Iraq became a democracy, And we invested in it.
02:28:30.000It became part of complex interdependence, became part of the international trade system, joined the UN and the rest of it.
02:28:37.000They said other countries would emulate that model.
02:28:40.000And the Middle East would suddenly be friendly to Israel and Washington, and it would be rich and prosperous and peaceful and stable and all the rest.
02:28:52.000And so that was the idea, was not only to overthrow Saddam Hussein and denuclearize Iraq, but also to nation-build.
02:28:59.000That's where you hear that term, nation-building.
02:29:01.000We weren't just there to overthrow Saddam and take away the nukes.
02:29:04.000We were there to build a new democratic country.
02:30:34.000We have to rip it apart into a bunch of different pieces.
02:30:38.000In 1996, many of the apparatchiks that went to work under George W. Bush in the State Department and the DOD and the Pentagon, they drafted a report for Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
02:30:51.000And it said, in order to secure Israel's northern border and the realm, we need to overthrow Saddam.
02:30:59.000We need to roll back and destabilize Syria and then eventually go for Iran.
02:31:32.000Israel was threatened by Syria and Iran.
02:31:35.000And that is why we have visited all those different countries.
02:31:40.000That's why we visited Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, all of it.
02:31:46.000Now those that say, this is a completely contrary explanation.
02:31:51.000When people say, no, we got into Iraq because of the folly of liberal internationalism.
02:31:59.000Or neoconservatism or democratic realism as promulgated by Charles Krauthammer.
02:32:04.000People that say, and there's something similar there to you as a Jew, but when they say, We wanted to build a democracy, but it didn't work.
02:32:17.000We tried to export liberalism, but it never took root.
02:32:34.000They were pushed on that lie by Jewish neocons at the Weekly Standard and National Review in like 15 or 20 publications by think tanks, by lobbyists who were all Jewish and aligned with Israel and aligned with Israel's strategic agenda, which was to overthrow Iraq to secure Israel's borders.
02:33:09.000Last week, two weeks ago, before Israel bombed Iran, Mark Levin and Ike Perlmutter, a Jewish donor, had lunch with Trump at the White House, and they pressed Trump to go to war in Iran.
02:33:23.000Tucker Carlson wrote a long post criticizing Mark Levin and his efforts To pressure Trump to go to war in Iran.
02:33:32.000Throughout the entire post, Tucker did not once mention that Mark Levin is Jewish and is pushing Trump because of his loyalty to Israel.
02:34:25.000And why is that not being spotlighted?
02:34:27.000Why is no one drawing attention to this?
02:34:30.000Everyone's talking about everything else.
02:34:31.000People are talking about the folly of regime change, the folly of nation-building, whether democracy is exportable.
02:34:38.000It has nothing to do with any of that.
02:34:40.000Israel fired the first shot because they've been deliberately sabotaging diplomacy, because they want us to fight Iran on their behalf, because Iran is their enemy, and that's all there is to it.
02:34:53.000Americans will die because it's good for Israel.
02:35:04.000Because if we decided to isolate them, if we decided to cut them off, they would hurt our country and we wouldn't be able to stop them because we are so infiltrated.
02:35:41.000And they should not have influence in our country.
02:35:44.000And Jewish people, they just cannot be trusted in the highest echelons of power insofar as they are loyal to another regime like this, whether it's Israel or it's world Jewry as a whole.
02:35:59.000People want to talk about neocons and the deep state and the CIA and NGOs and the State Department and USAID and the Catholic Church and Gladio and all this nonsense, all to avoid what is right in your face, the obvious.
02:36:59.000If our president, which is a real office created by the Constitution, empowered by the Electoral College, and now through the voters, if he has no power, then we have no power.
02:37:11.000And if we have no power, then who does?
02:41:23.000People got a lot more to say about Harry Sisson than they have to say about Netanyahu, and that tells you something.
02:41:29.000They got a lot more to say about the people criticizing Netanyahu than they do about Netanyahu.
02:41:35.000If someone is spending all their time on Twitter carefully critiquing and managing how you critique Trump or how you critique Israel, rather than critiquing Trump and Israel, that should tell you something, shouldn't it?
02:41:55.000We're going to get into the news for tonight.
02:41:58.000We'll talk about the current state of the conflict, but I just had to get that out of my system because it just, I mean, these people are scum.
02:42:21.000These people in Washington, D.C., these influencers, these verified checkmarks on Twitter, these cocksuckers that go to CPAC, that go on Fox News, that say things like, I have my words in the Washington Examiner.
02:43:16.000But I want to move on, and I feel that way about Matt Walsh, who's in Nashville, actually, and Patrick Casey, who's in Arlington, and to some extent Scott Greer, who's also out there, and just all these people that are just lying all the time.
02:43:32.000We have to get into the—because now I'm just, like, I'm feeling it, and now I'm just, like, drunk on anger and hatred, so we've got to reel it in.
02:43:41.000See, the character development is recognizing— In the middle of the rant.
02:45:12.000Second step is that missiles and drones were launched from within Iran.
02:45:19.000The first wave did not come from fighter jets that took off from Israel.
02:45:24.000The first wave of attacks came from inside of Iran's territory.
02:45:28.000Secretive covert bases had been established years prior.
02:45:34.000Where they had put in place suicide drones in the backs of trucks or inside of buildings, maybe missile launch posts or mobile missile launchers.
02:46:48.000Then they came in in waves with Israeli fighter jets bombing Iran, bombing their air bases.
02:46:55.000And what this does is it prevents Iran's air force from effectively flying over the sky and combating Israeli fighter jets.
02:47:02.000They took out Iran's radar and air defenses to prevent them from shooting down Israeli jets.
02:47:08.000They took out Iran's ballistic missile sites, their launch platforms, which inhibits Iran's ability to retaliate eventually.
02:47:16.000And they started to do damage against Iran's nuclear sites, specifically at Natanz.
02:47:22.000Where most of it is underground, some of it is above ground and it seems that they were able to disable the entire facility by disrupting its flow of electricity.
02:47:36.000It was that initial effects-based operations strike, cyber attack, decapitation strike on the military.
02:47:45.000To take out the comms grid, take out the radar, their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, take out their top brass to disrupt the chain of command, and then they came in with the air power to level Iran, again, with 700 airstrikes and degrade some of those key military capabilities.
02:48:07.000And there was some surprise there because a lot of people questioned whether Iran would be able to retaliate at all.
02:48:14.000Israel's first strike was so surprisingly effective and unprecedented that many people were wondering by Friday afternoon or morning, does Iran even have the ability to retaliate at all?
02:48:32.000Do they have the ability to launch missiles?
02:48:34.000Do they have the ability to target various positions inside of Israel?
02:48:39.000So when Iran retaliated, that was a big sign that the tide of the conflict was not going to be as one-sided as we thought.
02:48:48.000And Iran unleashed a missile barrage of dozens, or it's difficult to say exactly how many because there's conflicting reports, but in waves, they launched hundreds of ballistic missiles accompanied by kamikaze drones against Israel.
02:49:04.000In that first day, and then in the weekend, They did not make too many impacts.
02:49:11.000And again, the information is not reliable.
02:49:21.000But let's say that Iran has a hit ratio of about 10%.
02:49:26.000So for every 10 ballistic missiles that they launch, one of them will make an impact.
02:49:32.000Since Friday, Iran has launched approximately 400 missiles.
02:49:38.000About 35 impacts have occurred, so it's a little bit less than 10%.
02:49:43.000Ever since Friday, this has been the state of the conflict.
02:49:48.000Israel launching airstrikes against Iran, Iran retaliating with ballistic missiles and suicide drones without having a significant effect.
02:49:58.000Let's talk a little bit more about the capabilities in particular.
02:50:01.000So again, the reason that Iran is not penetrating Israel as effectively as Maybe people might expect, is because Israel has a complex, comprehensive missile defense system.
02:50:16.000Israel has an Iron Dome system, which is for short-range rockets from Hamas, from Hezbollah, which is situated on their northern and southern border.
02:50:26.000They have the David Sling for medium-range missiles, and then they have the Arrow 1 and Arrow 2 systems for longer-range ballistic missiles like the ones that are being launched from Iran.
02:50:38.000They have Iron Dome, David Sling, Arrow 1, and Arrow 2. In addition to that, they also have the American Air Force and a number of other air forces from the surrounding countries like Jordan and even the United Kingdom and France have intervened as well, shooting down some of the drones over Syrian and Jordanian airspace.
02:50:57.000So there is this complex, comprehensive, anti-ballistic missile, anti-drone shield that is preventing a lot of Iran's missiles from getting inside of Israel.
02:51:09.000Iran is claiming that they have shot down five FFAs.
02:51:14.000I think it's F-35 jets that Israel is flying over Iran, which would be a big deal because these are very sophisticated jets that Israel operates from the United States.
02:51:26.000Iran says they're going to reveal at least one of those, one of the downed aircraft.
02:51:31.000Many mainstream sources are skeptical that they shot down five.
02:51:37.000Iran is claiming that they've shot down Iran's Over the past couple of days, many of the operations that Israel is conducting in Iran are originating from inside of Iran, meaning that increasingly it's not Israeli jets from Israel.
02:52:01.000Like the original strike, these are commandos inside of Iran launching drones.
02:52:08.000Launching car bombings, remotely detonating explosives planted inside trucks and cars, carrying out, again, more mobile missile systems inside of Iran.
02:52:19.000And there's been videos of this on Telegram and Twitter of Iran chasing Mossad in a van.
02:52:24.000I don't know if that's real, but that's what's being reported.
02:52:28.000So the conflict is sort of changing as the week has gone on.
02:52:31.000And today, the big story is that Iran is not really launching any missiles at Israel at all.
02:52:37.000They're still launching ballistic missiles at Israel in waves, but whereas on Friday they were launching hundreds of missiles in waves of dozens of missiles at a time, now they're launching 30 missiles throughout the course of the day in waves of three or four or five at a time.
02:52:57.000It says, quote, Marking the lowest volume since it began retaliating for Israel's airstrikes.
02:53:12.000Experts say the change could reflect Iran's diminished ability to strike back or a deliberate shift toward lower intensity attacks sustained over a longer period of time.
02:53:23.000So either Iran is running out of missiles and so they just don't have many more, or they do have a lot of missiles, but they're trying to spread them out and they're going to do five.
02:53:36.000At a time, 30 every day, so that they could keep this up for months, so that they could fight a true war of attrition.
02:53:45.000It says, Israel successfully intercepts most incoming missiles and is trying to strip Iran of its ability to launch them by targeting its launchers and stockpiles.
02:54:10.000According to Israel's chief spokesperson from their military, the Israeli Air Force had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface launchers, which he said was about one-third of Iran's arsenal.
02:54:23.000The slowdown in Iran's missile fire may indicate that Israeli strikes have damaged.
02:54:29.000Tehran's ability to launch projectiles.
02:54:31.000It could also suggest, alternatively, that Iranian leaders are preparing for a conflict that may stretch on for weeks or even months.
02:54:38.000Israel initially estimated that Iran had around 2,000 ballistic missiles before the war began.
02:54:44.000After firing roughly 400 and sustaining hits to some of its stockpiles, Israeli experts now believe the stockpile is around 1,000 ballistic missiles.
02:54:58.000If Israel destroyed 150 launchers and destroyed some stockpiles amounting to 600 missiles, maybe they have about 1,000 left.
02:55:07.000Without resupplies from the United States or greater involvement by U.S. forces, some assessments project that Israel can maintain its missile defense for only 10 to 12 more days if Iran maintains a steady tempo of attacks, according to an individual briefed on U.S. and Israeli intelligence assessments.
02:55:31.000The reason why we have to talk about the means, the mode by which the fighting is being carried out is to understand the strategic dimension of the conflict.
02:55:41.000The reason I bring up this effects-based operation doctrine is because Israel historically has over-relied or overly relied upon that as opposed to actual military capabilities.
02:56:00.000They've got 600,000 soldiers, 400,000 reservists, and that's split up between various different sections of their armed forces, but they have a million soldiers.
02:56:49.000And so last week, there was all this exuberance on the Israeli side.
02:56:55.000Again, because of the surprising effectiveness, because they caught Iran off guard, because of the unprecedented nature of these drone attacks, which sort of emulated what happened in Russia a couple of weeks ago, everybody said, hey, this is a done deal.
02:59:15.000They're not built for a long-term conflict.
02:59:17.000What's more, and this has been the strategic component at the heart of it, if Israel's strategic objective was to destroy Iran's nuclear facility, they will not be able to achieve that on their own at all.
02:59:30.000So as the days and weeks go on, you're going to get a situation where Iran can penetrate Israel all the time.
02:59:38.000Israel will have to pick and choose which missiles it shoots down because they will run out of interceptors in a matter of weeks.
02:59:46.000At that point, Iran is launching ballistic missiles and they'll be able to regularly make impact inside of Israel.
03:00:10.000As long as that is there and unaffected, Iran is enriching uranium probably to 90% and maybe on their way to constructing a nuclear device.
03:01:34.000So now the question is, will the United States come in on the side of Israel and tip the scale in their favor?
03:01:42.000Because if the United States comes in and bombs Fordow, then this is a win for Israel.
03:01:47.000Israel's strategic objectives have been complete.
03:01:50.000And then, once Israel is no longer concerned about a nuclear capability from Iran, Israel can kill their leaders and topple their government.
03:02:00.000If there's no concern that whatever comes next will have a nuclear bomb, Israel can safely dispose of the government.
03:02:26.000And if they won't, then Israel's either going to have to make a shameful and humiliating peace agreement, which would show that Iran is the victor.
03:02:43.000Or they could escalate the situation themselves.
03:02:46.000They could destroy Iran's oil refinement.
03:03:13.000It says, quote, fears of a wider war were growing on Tuesday after President Trump called for Iran's unconditional surrender, citing the possibility of killing its supreme leader and referred to Israel's war effort with the word we.
03:03:28.000All apparent suggestions that the United States could enter the conflict against Iran.
03:03:33.000As the Trump administration contemplates next steps in Israel and Iran, the conflict continues unabated into its sixth day.
03:03:41.000Past midnight on Wednesday, the Israeli military said it had detected Iranian missile launches.
03:03:46.000Around the same time, the Israeli military said its air force was conducting strikes in the area of Tehran.
03:03:53.000Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu spoke on the phone on Tuesday afternoon.
03:03:58.000In a post on True Social earlier in the day, Mr. Trump wrote, We now have complete and total control over the skies of Iran, associating himself with Israel's war effort.
03:04:23.000Security Council meeting, and there was also a meeting at the Pentagon with the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, the Defense Secretary.
03:04:32.000And at one point, they said that there was going to be an address to the world by President Trump.
03:04:37.000Apparently, that was canceled, or maybe it was never going to happen.
03:04:42.000Currently, there are three dozen U.S. refueling aircraft being deployed to the Middle East, along with fighter jets.
03:04:48.000Typhoon fighter jets from the U.K. are being deployed.
03:04:52.000It looks like we are on the precipice of a war with Iran.
03:04:57.000And I think there's two possibilities here.
03:04:59.000We'll talk about these two outcomes, and then we'll move on to Super Chats.
03:05:05.000Option one, Trump decides not to intervene.
03:05:10.000He still thinks diplomacy is possible.
03:05:14.000He seeks to restrain Israel from continuing their assault on Iran.
03:05:19.000He tries to put together some meeting with Iran's leadership and maybe he'll be able to extract some kind of historic concession because of Iran's weakness militarily in the current moment.
03:05:32.000And somehow, some way, he is able to navigate an end to the hostilities between Israel and Iran, achieve a breakthrough, and resume diplomacy, at least for the time being.
03:06:13.000And that's how people are thinking about it.
03:06:16.000But my pessimism about the situation, and the reason why I didn't vote for Trump and why I suspected this would happen all along, is because, of course, whatever Trump decides to do will immediately be followed up by reaction, not just from Iran, but also, more importantly, from Israel.
03:06:36.000And let's first understand how we got even to this point.
03:06:39.000It's not just as we talked about before that there's a sense of complacency.
03:06:44.000It's also that Israel has, in a very calculated way, they have refined the security situation in the Middle East to create a predicament where the range of possibilities is narrow rather than broad, where the range of options that the president in Washington can pursue is actually not unlimited.
03:07:08.000Like, let's talk about Gaza, for example.
03:07:13.000For 80 years, it has been U.S. policy that we want a Palestinian state.
03:07:20.000Ever since 1948, from Harry Truman all the way down to even Donald Trump in the second term, the official position of the State Department, of the President, of the White House, has been a two-state solution.
03:07:32.000An Israeli state, a Palestinian state.
03:07:39.000Netanyahu has blockaded the Gaza Strip.
03:07:43.000Shut down all the checkpoints, established a military corridor inside the Strip along its borders, a buffer zone.
03:07:51.000They have bisected and trisected it by cutting a corridor right from that buffer zone to the Mediterranean Sea.
03:07:58.000And they have destroyed more than half of the buildings in Gaza.
03:08:02.000Now it's something like 60% of all the structures.
03:08:05.000They've killed probably hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed their leadership.
03:08:11.000What can even happen in Gaza at this point?
03:08:16.000Even if the U.S. president wanted the Palestinians to stay in Gaza and for them to elect a government and for that government to eventually be sovereign over a Palestinian state, it would be impossible because there's nowhere for the Palestinians to go.
03:09:36.000That was the position of Trump and Biden, and they pushed it, and they pressured for it, and they wanted it, and so did Saudi Arabia, for that matter, and Egypt and others.
03:10:25.000Then they did this big, bold suicide attack.
03:10:29.000And what they did here was they almost made Washington an offer we can't refuse.
03:10:34.000Because Iran is, according to our own doctrine, I wouldn't say this is my opinion, but according to U.S. strategic doctrine, Iran is one of our regional adversaries.
03:10:45.000They're one of our major adversaries alongside China, Russia, and North Korea.
03:10:51.000On the one hand, Israel's making us an offer that we can't refuse.
03:10:55.000At the same time, they're also creating a situation where by pushing Iran all the time, Iran can't stop attacking Israel.
03:11:04.000And as long as Iran is attacking Israel, we can't make a deal.
03:11:08.000So even though Trump might want to make a deal and might make arrangements to make a deal, that is all incumbent on Israel ceasing their aggression to give Iran a chance to stop their retaliation.
03:11:46.000He sees an opportunity to take out Iran.
03:11:49.000He sees that the path has been cleared to take out Iran's nuclear program.
03:11:53.000This would also be a deterrent lesson to China and Russia.
03:11:58.000What's more, our allies under attack, our bases in the region are being threatened, even though they haven't been attacked yet.
03:12:06.000But Trump could also decide, well, maybe I won't strike.
03:12:09.000Maybe I'll give diplomacy another chance.
03:12:12.000But as time goes on, you can see that these strikes are not going to stop.
03:12:17.000If Trump decides not to hit Fordow today or tomorrow, and let's say even comes out with a statement, or maybe Iran makes a deal or something like that, Israel still has to stop bombing Iran.
03:12:31.000If their goal is regime change, if their goal is complete denuclearization, which Iran will never agree to in any form of deal with Washington, then the answer is decidedly no.
03:12:44.000So Trump doesn't Israel keeps bombing Iran.
03:12:49.000Maybe the situation gets more desperate.
03:13:07.000They could do things that are so provocative it collapses the Iranian state.
03:13:12.000Now, if the Iranian state collapses, Will Washington want a failed state to have a giant nuclear reactor inside of a mountain?
03:13:22.000In that scenario, we might be forced to intervene.
03:13:26.000Think of another option out of your imagination.
03:13:29.000What might possibly wet our whistle and give us an appetite for a war in the Middle East against a country that is accused of having nuclear weapons?
03:14:00.000They've been willing to do it in the past.
03:14:02.000They clearly had prior knowledge of 9-11, and they saw it as a great victory.
03:14:06.000Netanyahu said 9-11 was a good thing because now we understand the threat of radical Islam and the Palestinians, and now we're going to fight their war.
03:14:18.000If they were able to plant bombs in every pager that's owned by Hezbollah, if they're able to build a secret drone facility inside of Iran and launch suicide attacks and car bombings and all kinds of other...
03:14:36.000You think they couldn't do it in the Emirates or Jordan or the United States?
03:14:41.000Then the question is, are they really going to carry something like that out?
03:14:46.000Are they willing to stop their campaign short of achieving their strategic objectives and let the Iranian regime remain in place and make a deal?
03:14:57.000After they took That step and cross the Rubicon on Thursday of initiating hostilities, and now they've been bombed a number of times, and Israelis are dead, and hundreds are injured.
03:16:15.000Charlie Kirk, who is very close to the president, among others, They're all on Twitter pushing the line, hey, if Trump bombs Iran's nukes, you can't say he's inconsistent.
03:16:32.000But let's explore the scenario where he bombs Fordow, whether he does it now or later, whether he chooses to bomb or not bomb today, but ultimately will regardless.
03:16:43.000Well, the day that we bomb Fordow, for all these people that say, well, it will be limited.
03:17:57.000We carried out our limited strike, which is totally not a big deal, and no need to get worked up because it's not a major war.
03:18:05.000Once oil goes up over $100 a barrel, once all the shipping gets closed down, once Americans get hit in the bases, once vessels get blown up or sunk, of course not!
03:18:16.000Just like how Israel hit Iran and Iran hit back, if America hits Iran, Iran is going to hit us back in economic ways as well as in kinetic ways, in military ways.
03:18:27.000And then we're in, and then where do you think this stops?
03:18:30.000Then we're going to hit Iran again, and what do you think they do?
03:18:34.000Those ballistic missiles they're using against Israel, they're then going to use against us.
03:20:01.000Short of some kind of improbable, surprise, unprecedented, miraculous revolution where Trump is able to legitimately restrain Israel somehow, maybe we can navigate a way out of this.
03:20:17.000I think with the military buildup in the Middle East, the doomsday plane in Maryland, I think the way Trump is sounding today, the timeline, the logistics, the tactics, I don't see that happening.
03:20:51.000This is a process of grieving, where there is a simulated discourse going on, and it's helping the American public come to grips with the fact that, yes, we are in another Iraq war.
03:21:05.000Yes, we are at war with Iran over fake WMDs.
03:21:11.000We have no control over the escalation ladder.
03:21:15.000And this fake debate, you know, these constantly moving goalposts, changing positions, people saying Trump said he would bomb Iran all the time.
03:21:22.000This is just them acclimating us to the new reality, which is we voted for the peace president.
03:21:34.000And people are hanging on to every word, every little press release from the National Security Council or the White House or, you know, what Barack Ravid is saying on Axios and Kurt Mills and his hopium.
03:22:29.000Obviously, so much has happened in the past week, it's hard to remember what happened before.
03:22:34.000Israel attacked Iran, they did the unthinkable, the thing they always wanted to do, and now there's this talk of nuclear war and World War III.
03:22:42.000It's almost impossible to remember what was happening a week before that.
03:22:46.000Does anybody remember that literally one week, one week before Israel attacked Iran, does anybody remember it all?
03:22:58.000That Elon Musk said that Trump would not release the Epstein files because he was named in them?
03:23:19.000And just days before, Elon Musk went on Twitter and said, hey, the only reason Trump won't release the Epstein files is because he's in them.
03:23:44.000Because after all, who did Jeffrey Epstein work for?
03:23:47.000How did Jeffrey Epstein make his billions?
03:23:51.000Jeffrey Epstein was, of course, connected to Israeli intelligence.
03:23:54.000His girlfriend, Jelaine Maxwell, her father, Robert Maxwell, was a Mossad agent, and Jeffrey Epstein was a creature of the Israel lobby, running blackmail for Israeli intelligence.
03:25:21.000And you have to wonder, why is Trump all of a sudden doing a 180 from wanting to make a deal, telling Netanyahu that strikes would be inappropriate?
03:25:30.000Apparently him and Netanyahu are on the ice.
03:25:32.000Israel and Trump are not having a phone call anymore.
03:25:36.000And Trump made peace with the Houthis without telling Israel and all the rest of it.
03:25:39.000To all of a sudden he's saying, we have control of the airspace.
03:26:10.000Netanyahu delivered to Trump a gift, a golden pager, modeled after those explosive pagers that he gave to Hezbollah that blew up and killed them.
03:26:19.000And then the Elon Musk crash out two weeks ago.
03:26:25.000Is all of that normal between two world leaders?
03:26:29.000Netanyahu said that on the news this weekend.
03:26:31.000Iran was behind the plots to assassinate Trump.
03:26:36.000Is that real intelligence or is that a warning?
03:28:12.000Might just be a little exhausted because I've been working really hard ever since the war broke out, doing a lot of big streams and just tired.
03:28:20.000So I think I was just falling asleep a little bit.
03:28:26.000We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.
03:29:19.000I don't know what to make of that, but between him and that guy last year that showed up at Mar-a-Lago, and then of course Crooks who shot Trump.
03:29:29.000There's something a little bit off about all these people.
03:29:33.000And something you need to realize is these intelligence operations are extremely sophisticated.
03:29:39.000All you need to know is that they can do this kind of stuff.
03:30:11.000But the level of sophistication, how convoluted it is, it will blow you away.
03:30:17.000And once you read about enough of these types of intelligence operations, How sophisticated they are?
03:30:23.000You realize it's totally plausible that they can do this kind of stuff.
03:30:27.000If you think it's crazy to say there are false flags, that CIA assassinates people, once you learn how they operate, you realize they're totally capable.
03:30:39.000So if they're capable of doing it, if they're willing to do it, if they've done it before, I mean, you know, that has to enter into the record.
03:30:48.000You have to consider that when you see things like this.
03:30:53.000I haven't paid close attention to this one, but I wouldn't be surprised.
03:31:01.000Would you sell the Nimitz to Israel next year for $20 billion to pay for our next aircraft carrier?
03:33:08.000These posts that he writes, they're not funny, they're not pithy.
03:33:11.000At one time, they were pithy, they were short, they were punchy, and they were genuinely funny.
03:33:19.000Now they're tired, they're stale, they're repetitive, they're rambly and monotonous and boring and not funny and just glib and unserious and almost like smug.
03:33:31.000There's almost this belligerent smugness.
03:39:53.000There might be terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe.
03:39:57.000Then again, if there's some kind of transfer of power that occurs that's ceremonial and they get the country out of the control, maybe it'll be an ally of the United States like it is in Syria.
03:40:06.000And that government will struggle to impose some form of order in the country like what is happening in Syria now with these ethnic cleansings being carried out against the Alawites.
03:40:18.000But then if they become an ally of the United States and Israel, then we control the Middle East.
03:40:23.000I mean, that country surely would be an ally of Washington and Israel, and then we control all the Persian Gulf oil.
03:40:29.000We deprive China of that cheap oil, so that would have ramifications for them.
03:40:33.000Then, you know, if they're an ally, maybe we have bases in Iran, which is right by Pakistan, which is China's closest ally, like Israel is ours, and we lost the base in Afghanistan, which borders China.
03:40:45.000Now we have it in Iran, so we could project power in the Indian Ocean against China.
03:42:42.000I've been watching since you've had around 30, 40K on Rumble, and I think the biggest white pill out of this entire predicament is that your audience is growing and your voice is being heard like never before.
03:43:49.000So, for generations, going back to the 40s, going back to the 30s, you have had big, mainstream, popular broadcasters and activists and politicians.
03:44:00.000You know, Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, Father Coughlin, Fulton Sheen.
03:44:05.000He wasn't really necessarily anti-Jew or whatever, but...
03:44:12.000And if you don't have the state power, none of it matters.
03:46:01.000New to full streams but have watched your clips for years.
03:46:04.000Back in 2020, I remember seeing Beagle.com, a world population predictor, stating the world population to drop by up to 60% in the year 2025.
03:49:50.000I know nothing about basketball or sports, but I saw that he was taking a lot of heat for that back a couple years ago, I think it was, and I was very supportive.
03:51:23.000Tucker Carlson's father, Dick Carlson, was an appointee by Ronald Reagan who ran Voice of America.
03:51:30.000Voice of America was created in the aftermath of World War II out of something from the OSS, and it basically was broadcasting U.S. propaganda throughout the Cold War.
03:51:40.000Tucker Carlson's father, Dick Carlson, It's a CIA propaganda outlet, broadcasting outlet.
03:51:50.000Then Dick Carlson worked for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and worked with the Hungarian government, which, I mean, if you look at both of those things, are both deeply in bed with Israel.
03:52:02.000Tucker was in Nicaragua during Iran-Contras when the U.S. was using Israel to sell weapons.
03:52:11.000They were raising money through Iran to traffic weapons to the Contras in Nicaragua through Israel, and Tucker was there.
03:52:20.000Then he applied for the CIA straight out of college.
03:52:22.000His dad told him to get a job in the press.
03:52:29.000The outfits that he worked for in the early stages of his career, it's all Jews.
03:52:51.000Trump is letting this happen so that MSM and the deep state cover this instead of a Chinese election interference in 2020 that cash in the FBI just uncovered.
03:55:13.000I know you hate messages like this, and I'm not sure what I expect you to say in any case, but I'm feeling genuinely scared in light of what's going on lately in the East.
03:57:14.000Nick, Israel's warming up their nuclear menorah again and the Ayatollah is speed dialing Allah for Holocaust number 2. Neocons are frothing at the mouth like Ben Shapiro at a circumcision party, begging for Zoomers to die protecting the Hamas supply line.
03:57:23.000Is it time to release the Frog's King?
04:02:36.000She just supports whatever's popular, whatever sounds good.
04:02:39.000You know, she sold out to Kevin McCarthy a couple of years ago and has been – So whether it's Tucker or her or any of these people, Charlie Kirk, I mean, they have no principles.
04:03:13.000They are just whatever is in the moment, what is currently between the base and the donors, and they just hang out in that space, and that's it.
04:03:23.000When have they ever taken a stand on anything?
04:04:12.000Thank you for the big super chat, and I appreciate the compliment.
04:04:16.000It is nice to hear that the message is getting out there, because, you know, I've been doing this for a really long time and started with nothing.
04:04:23.000That's why it particularly irritates me when, you know, people try to discredit my success or my reach or even my credibility itself.
04:06:07.000The only congressman with a 100% pro-Palestine, anti-Israel voting record is Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, and now he's leading the bill to attempt to stop the war.
04:06:13.000That's not what I'm saying and you're an idiot.
04:06:19.000Nevermind just saw the clip of Tucker talking about you and Joe Kent.
04:06:58.000We recognize the IRGC as a terrorist group.
04:07:01.000And then if you recall, there was a diplomatic crisis, I think it was in 2020 in the summer, where it was alleged that they were sinking these tankers in the Persian Gulf and that they did a drone attack on Americans.
04:07:14.000They were attacking American bases or something like that.
04:07:17.000And in retaliation, we were hitting some of their stuff.
04:07:21.000I don't remember precisely how it unfolded because it was like five years ago.
04:07:25.000I covered it in real time, but basically they were creating the same type of confrontation then that they are now.
04:07:34.000Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal in 2018, and that started this diplomatic crisis with Iran, this maximum pressure campaign.
04:07:41.000And by December of 2020, they were talking about airstrikes against Iran, even back then.
04:09:46.000I'd give Trump is just controlled via blackmail or other means, or he got hit with a fucking Mossad retard gun or something cause he just keeps contradicting himself.
04:09:51.000what the people around him are saying and what he claimed to believe in during his first term also get some bitches lil nigga god bless yeah miles gentry sent ten dollars how is your golf game That's not great.
04:12:37.000only and foreign troops home defend and protect our homeland neurogrower percent $40 excellent analysis tonight infinite vindication thank you very much Christine in Ohio sent $10 I think you are definitely onto something about Epstein files and I totally agree with you on Trump and how he acts I can't even defend his actions anymore either hey if any grow upers do come to polka fest Saturday give me an 07 for NJF so I know it's you An 07 for NJF at the Polka Fest.
04:13:22.000But, uh, no, I would never, I would never tell you I'm going anywhere in advance, but, um, if the Gruyper show up, be sure to give Christina no seven.
04:16:00.000We said, hey, Joe Kent works for the CIA.
04:16:03.000Tucker says that because we said that, we are the CIA, even though it's true.
04:16:08.000He said that what the CIA does is if you're criticizing them and you work for them, they will tell you, they will tell the public that you're CIA.
