00:04:57.000And people don't realize what they have.
00:05:02.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:17.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:22.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:01.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:05.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:12.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:19.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:27.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:30.000And 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.
00:07:44.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:47.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:51.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:58.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:02.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:31.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:37.000It 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.
00:08:51.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:01.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Groeper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:10:00.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:10:07.000One 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.
00:11:30.000Go 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...
00:12:11.000we can't even get into the transportation.
00:12:13.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
00:12:18.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
00:13:51.000Taking advantage while they can, or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
00:14:01.000And 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.
00:18:57.000Because 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 and nothing will.
00:26:50.000Some 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.
00:34:47.000No narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:34:51.000It 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.
00:35:06.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:35:15.000I 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.
00:35:28.000Questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:35:46.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth.
00:42:33.000We're going to smash your brain in with the Bible.
00:45:47.000I'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.
00:48:14.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
00:48:21.000One 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.
00:49:04.000Outro Music We paved the way with our corpeless roipers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, even people that killed themselves.
00:49:33.000Courses paved the way for you now to walk over.
00:49:36.000And you can't give us acknowledgement?
00:51:12.000You 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.
00:56:52.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:57:00.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:57:10.000And 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.
00:59:48.000I should have supported Groyper War II.
01:00:06.000Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Yeah pull up by side Yeah pull up on them Now I got this big on hash on them I'm straight out of these diamonds I'm

01:02:30.000desire, mind and senses purify Free from desire, mind and senses purify Free from desire, mind and senses purify Free from desire Na na na na na na na na There is something involved where we have to forgive them.
01:02:50.000We do have to forgive them for their ignorance.
01:02:53.000We do have to forgive them for their misunderstanding.
01:02:56.000And we have to embrace them and say, better late than never.
01:08:50.000And people don't realize what they have.
01:08:55.000And 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.
01:09:09.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.

01:13:27.000Droyfers and all the alt-riders that got banned, all the alt-riders that got slandered, even people that killed themselves.
01:13:34.000Our courses paved the way for you now to walk over.
01:13:38.000And you can't give us acknowledgement.
01:13:53.000In the days after the September attacks, there were countless rumors about strange coincidences surrounding the events.
01:14:00.000One 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.
01:15:23.000Go 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...
01:16:04.000we can't even get into the transportation.
01:16:06.000Maybe somewhere you go to a train station and people politely wait for people to leave before they enter.
01:16:11.000You go to an elevator and people wait for the people leaving the elevator before they get in.
01:17:35.000And many people are just trying to enjoy the last hurrah before it's all over.
01:17:41.000People are living lives of hedonism, taking advantage while they can.
01:17:46.000Or they're living more responsible lives, but similarly, just trying to soak it in while they still can.
01:17:53.000And 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.
01:21:31.000But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead, because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.
01:21:41.000Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.
01:21:48.000Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.
01:21:54.000We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.
01:22:50.000because 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 and nothing will.
01:34:02.000Today each of you begins a new chapter as well.
01:34:07.000When your story goes from here, it will be defined.
01:34:12.000By your vision, your perseverance, and your grit, you will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.
01:34:26.000You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.
01:34:35.000As long as you have pride in your beliefs.
01:34:39.000Courage in your convictions and faith in God, then you will not fail.
01:34:47.000As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.
01:41:16.000Once again, we're going to be giving you some live coverage of the ongoing war in Iran and giving you the latest updates, the day-by-day developments.
01:41:31.000All the information, all the critical details every single day.
01:41:35.000Yesterday I said maybe we would switch gears a little bit, but I look at the news, the world turns on the axis of this conflict right now, and it's my obligation, it's my responsibility to bring you all the information so that you are equipped, so that you can sound smart at work.
01:41:58.000So that you can counter all the arguments you hear from your relatives and colleagues and peers.
01:42:05.000So our featured story tonight, we're going to be once again talking about Day 7. Is it Day 7?
01:42:39.000You cannot pay as much attention to what is being said, rumors, these kinds of day-by-day, minute-by-minute updates and reports because it's a dynamic situation.
01:43:00.000You have to look where the ball is going rather than where the ball is at any given time, to use a sports metaphor.
01:43:08.000But we do have these reports from Wall Street Journal this evening and then later in Bloomberg, just actually about an hour ago, an hour or two ago, so pretty late in the evening tonight.
01:43:21.000Wall Street Journal says that Trump gave the green light for a strike on Iran, but has not given the final order.
01:43:44.000The other aspect about all this we'll talk about is the obvious signs that this is the case, because we not only have the reports, and these come from anonymous officials from inside the administration, but we also have the verifiable information concerning America's force deployment in the Middle East.
01:44:05.000We now have three aircraft carriers there or on their way to the region.
01:44:11.000There's a carrier in the eastern Mediterranean.
01:44:14.000There's a carrier in the Arabian Sea, and another aircraft carrier is on its way from the Pacific, and that will be joining the two that are already there near the Persian Gulf.
01:44:27.000So three aircraft carriers, dozens of refueling aircraft in addition to fighter jets, and those are coming both from the United States being deployed to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, but it's also British jets being deployed in Cyprus as well.
01:44:44.000So the amassing of naval and air assets in the region, it speaks for itself.
01:45:38.000And by that I mean maybe we can prevent spillover into other countries, but once we're in, we're in, and we're going to be in for more than we bargained for, almost certainly.
01:45:49.000Whatever we bargained for, we're going to get more than we thought we did.
01:45:52.000So we're deploying to the region, obviously to bomb Iran, but of course the reason that there has not been any action yet is because the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, All still have faith that Iran might resume diplomacy.
01:46:09.000There will be a meeting on Friday between an Iranian delegation and representatives from France, Germany, and the UK in coordination with the United States.
01:51:37.000In terms of propaganda, in terms of what you might call the Overton window, the interview is absolutely massive and has brought a lot of exposure to the issue at large, which is the warmonger, deep state, neocon, pro-Israel apparatus in the United States, which is chiefly responsible for pressuring our government into getting involved in the current conflict in Iran.
01:54:05.000And Texas, of course, is a very pro-Israel state, if you know anything about the state of Texas.
01:54:12.000Its governor is a huge supporter of Israel, has passed laws defining anti-Semitism in the most maximal way possible in front of Israeli flags where he signed it.
01:54:25.000And, of course, Texas has a lot of evangelicals, dispensationalist Christians who believe they have a religious obligation to support Israel.
01:54:34.000And so consistent with that, with the power of Jewish money in the state of Texas, but also the huge dispensationalist Christian base, Ted Cruz is a super Zionist and always has been.
01:54:46.000Super pro-Israel, super Zionist, and has supported a lot of these conflicts in the past.
01:54:52.000Tucker Carlson, on the other hand, has fashioned himself only recently as something like a populist and a non-interventionist.
01:55:02.000And in particular, in the past year, as a very outspoken critic of the Israel lobby.
01:55:08.000And he's had on guests like Dave Smith and Jeffrey Sachs and others who are basically in the circuit.
01:55:16.000They are in an Israel-critical circuit, critiquing U.S. foreign policy and posture towards Israel and Israel's actions in the conflict in Gaza, as well as its ongoing proxy war against Iran in the broader Middle East.
01:59:00.000This is someone who is always pushing a point of view.
01:59:04.000And whether it's somebody he agrees with or doesn't agree with, he's always pushing the point of view by playing dumb and just asking questions.
02:00:59.000His father, Dick Carlson, was appointed by Ronald Reagan to run the Voice of America in the 1980s.
02:01:07.000His father, Dick Carlson, who recently died, and rest in peace.
02:01:11.000But Dick Carlson was the longest-serving director of Voice of America in the history of the United States.
02:01:18.000Voice of America was a CIA, State Department-run propaganda outlet, which was critical during the Cold War, broadcasting U.S. propaganda on behalf of our intelligence apparatus and our diplomatic mission to communist countries, third world countries, our adversaries abroad, and Dick Carlson ran that.
02:01:39.000After Dick Carlson served there, he ran up another media conglomerate.
02:01:43.000He worked for a nonprofit called the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, which is closely aligned with the state of Israel, with the neoconservatives.
02:01:52.000It is part of the endless list of NGOs, non-governmental organizations, which act as a proxy for the State Department and the CIA.
02:02:06.000He says that he grew up down the street from the CIA agent that overthrew Mossadegh.
02:02:10.000In Iran in 1953, which was the first CIA coup in the Cold War, or one of the first coups, I should say.
02:02:20.000Tucker Carlson was in Nicaragua at the height of the Iran-Contra's affairs when the Reagan administration and the people behind the Reagan administration who appointed his father were trafficking weapons to the Contras through Israel.
02:02:38.000during that civil war in Central America.
02:02:40.000Then when Tucker Carlson graduated college, he applied for the CIA and allegedly was not admitted.
02:02:47.000He was encouraged by his father to go into journalism where he worked for a group called the Policy Journal, which was run by Spooks, which was run through Heritage Foundation, which at that time was run by some very spooky people and had successive interviews He was on Dancing with the Stars.
02:03:11.000He had a show on MSNBC, CNN, and played various roles over the decades.
02:03:18.000At one time, he had a bow tie pushing the war in Iraq.
02:03:23.000Until after Trump became a phenomenon, suddenly he became a populist and became a lead spokesperson for the populist movement.
02:03:33.000Now he spends his time traveling to foreign countries.
02:03:36.000Meeting with leaders like Javier Malay, the Vox Party in Spain, Viktor Orban in Hungary, who are all closely aligned with the state of Israel.
02:03:44.000And we go into Javier Malay in Hungary, whose father also worked for their embassy as well.
02:03:49.000They have deep ties to the Likud Party and Bibi Netanyahu in particular.
02:03:54.000Anyway, suffice to say, we could go into a lot of it.
02:05:46.000And to the extent that I would ever trust someone like Tucker Carlson would have to be demonstrated and earned over time, I don't think I ever would because he's CIA.
02:05:53.000So the only reason I give that long preface is because we can like what he says, but we have to know who he is.
02:06:01.000We can like what he says at various times, and we can cheerlead it and say it's a good thing, and we find agreement in some areas, but I'm never going to trust him because I'm never going to forget what he is and who he is, which is a propagandist.
02:06:16.000I don't think it's any coincidence that his dad was running broadcasting on behalf of the CIA, and his son, Tucker Carlson, is a broadcaster and running in the same patronage networks.
02:06:38.000We have to know who he is and what he's about, and for that reason, I'll never trust him.
02:06:43.000But he did clearly hit it out of the park here, and he grilled Ted Cruz about the big decision that the United States faces, whether we're going to intervene in Iran.
02:06:57.000It says, quote, Senator Ted Cruz and conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson got into a heated exchange in a sit-down interview for Carlson's program.
02:07:07.000Over the course of nearly two hours, the conversation between the two conservatives grew increasingly tense.
02:07:13.000With both men shouting at each other at certain times and hurling insults.
02:07:17.000In a preview clip of the conversation between the two, which Carlson posted on social media, the former Fox News host grilled Cruz on his knowledge of Iran, attacking the senator for not knowing anything about the country.
02:07:30.000At first, Carlson launched a softball at Cruz asking how many people live in Iran.
02:08:16.000And there were a couple of other clips that went viral as well.
02:08:19.000In particular, Carlson grilled Cruz about AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
02:08:25.000And Ted Cruz has received a lot of money from AIPAC and from other organs in the Israel lobby, probably to advance, well, the cause of Israel.
02:08:34.000And they say that they're advancing the U.S.-Israel relationship, which has a mutual benefit.
02:08:39.000But if you know the history of AIPAC, they were born from a group, the American Zionist Committee, which was in bed with the Israeli state.
02:08:48.000And in the past, they have acted on behalf of the Israeli state.
02:08:52.000So they are pushing the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel on behalf of Israel for the benefit of Israel.
02:09:01.000And in this case, of course, Israel wants the United States to intervene in Iran.
02:09:30.000They advocate for a lot of different things and sort of play dumb and tries to explain his way out of it.
02:09:36.000And I want to talk about what was said in the interview just by itself.
02:09:41.000I might, by the way, I'm considering maybe live reacting to the entire thing tomorrow.
02:09:49.000Because we're not going to be able to cover every little thing that was said in the interview.
02:09:53.000I'm going to cover these two parts tonight.
02:09:55.000Let me know if you're interested in that.
02:09:57.000I think I might do a supplementary stream, or supplemental stream, tomorrow afternoon, and I'll do a live reaction of the Tucker-Ted Cruz interview in its entirety.
02:10:08.000I'll watch the entire thing, react to the entire thing, because it's worthwhile.
02:10:12.000But tonight I want to focus on what was said in those viral clips, because those are the big moments.
02:10:19.000Tucker pressing Ted Cruz on the population.
02:10:23.000You know, I see a lot of people saying, and this was Ted Cruz's reply, they said, well, what does it matter what the population of Iran is?
02:11:07.000Did Luke Skywalker need to know the population of the Death Star before they blew it up in Star Wars?
02:11:16.000And I will answer this ridiculous rebuttal for anybody that needs to hear it.
02:11:22.000Of course, the size of the population, and we're not talking about down to the single digits, the exact number of people that live there, but having a general idea.
02:11:34.000Of the amount of people and what kind of people they are and how diverse it is and what their religion is and what the border areas are like, what the surrounding countries are like.
02:11:51.000This is all the demographic information that is necessary to understand what the actual outcome of this conflict will be.
02:12:00.000Of course it matters how big the population is.
02:12:04.000If you have a country like China with a billion people, overthrowing their government is a huge deal.
02:12:11.000Because a country with a billion people falling into chaos is a massive problem.
02:12:18.000You're talking about instability which could cross over into other countries.
02:12:24.000You're talking about a very difficult prospect of replacing the regime, earning the allegiance of the people, and maintaining some semblance of stability.
02:12:44.000Does it break up into multiple pieces?
02:12:46.000If you have a very large country with a large population with diversity, These are all complicating factors.
02:12:55.000These are all confounding variables that are going to influence the outcome of the conflict and actually how the conflict plays out in real time.
02:13:04.000So I see people saying, well, you know, what does it matter how many people are living there?
02:13:08.000It just goes to show they know nothing.
02:13:39.000If Iran has a much bigger population than Iraq, it means they have a bigger reserve to pull from for soldiers.
02:13:47.000Why does it matter what the ethnic mix is?
02:13:50.000Because that determines what kind of provisional government you're going to establish.
02:13:56.000It also determines whether there'll be fallout in the neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, particularly with the large Kurdish minority, large minority of Turkish people.
02:14:09.000All of these things are absolutely essential to even begin to understand what we're getting involved in in Iran.
02:14:19.000Once you drop those bombs, you never take that back.
02:14:28.000And it sets off a chain reaction, a domino effect across the entire region, just as it did before, just as it did in Iraq.
02:14:36.000In Syria, in Libya, in every one of these countries, the big ones and the small ones, the ones with the larger population and a smaller one.
02:14:45.000Every time it happens, there's these kinds of ramifications.
02:14:49.000And you need to understand those things.
02:14:52.000You will never be able to predict precisely how a war plays out or what the outcome will be.
02:14:58.000But before making that irreversible decision to drop those bombs and get entangled and trigger the chain reaction, You have to have the humility and the respect of history and of mankind to understand exactly what you're getting into.
02:15:15.000And so for Ted Cruz not to understand the basics, he didn't even have a guess.
02:15:20.000Forget about he didn't know it was 92 million or 90 million.
02:15:40.000If you don't know that number, he doesn't know anything about any of it.
02:15:43.000Can he name the population, the top exports?
02:15:46.000Can he name the terrain, the size of the military, the structure of the military, of the government?
02:15:52.000And by the way, this tells you something which might be fairly obvious, but it's worth pointing out.
02:15:59.000Not only are these people advocating for a war, which they do not understand, advocating for a war against a country and a regime, which they do not understand.
02:16:10.000Obviously, this is extremely irresponsible and reckless, and it means you can't trust them because they don't even know what they're talking about.
02:16:19.000But maybe what is obvious but needs to be pointed out is that they have no idea what they're talking about.
02:16:51.000It's the upper chamber of the government.
02:16:53.000It's like the House of Lords in the United Kingdom.
02:16:57.000This is supposed to be like the aristocracy.
02:17:00.000This is supposed to be, if there's anything that is elite in society, it is the United States Senate.
02:17:07.000What does it say about our country that a U.S. senator from one of our largest states, by the way, Texas, and a strategically important state, doesn't seem to know anything?
02:17:21.000Forget about the people that you get your news from.
02:17:28.000The U.S. senators that are tasked with passing the laws to govern all of it, they don't know basic information.
02:18:26.000This should be like basic stuff, given everything going on right now, given, again, Iran's position as one of our top adversaries, one of the top countries in the Persian Gulf, strategically important region, and you're an Ivy League-educated lawyer in the upper chamber of our Congress from one of our biggest states, and he doesn't know the first thing.
02:18:50.000And this is something that I have learned.
02:18:53.000Over the course of even my short career, eight years I've been doing this, most of these people, the donors, the billionaires, the politicians, the people that give you the news, they don't know anything.
02:19:10.000And I'd like to consider myself more informed than most, but I'm not an intellectual.
02:21:07.000Well, That begs a very important question, which is if Ted Cruz is not creating these opinions because he doesn't know anything about Iran, how could he know that they need to be destroyed?
02:21:22.000If he doesn't know anything about the Middle East, how can he know?
02:21:26.000And he doesn't know anything about nuclear weapons or how they work or the specifications of the facilities in Iran or where they are.
02:21:34.000If he doesn't know how many people there are, you think he knows the difference between plutonium and uranium and refinement and enrichment and which cities it's at and what's critical and what the reports from the IAEA say?
02:22:24.000We go out and we vote and we elect our representatives and our senators and we can learn about how a bill becomes a law and the Constitution is our social contract and it allows the government to do certain things, but we have certain rights that are protected.
02:24:47.000But the way that AIPAC works, as Ted Cruz says, is AIPAC arranges for individual Zionist Jewish billionaire donors to contribute millions to Ted Cruz.
02:25:03.000Because without millions of dollars, A senator in a state like Texas cannot put television ads and radio ads and host rallies across a vast state of over 30 million people and win a statewide election.
02:25:18.000They're dependent on the money to win the election.
02:25:21.000And then when they win the election, the people that gave them the money call them up and say, hey, we need you to sign this letter.
02:26:08.000I think there's 218 Republicans in the House, 53 in the Senate.
02:26:13.000Every one of them has an AIPAC guy, a liaison that goes between the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is in bed with the state of Israel, pushing more foreign aid to Israel, more wars for Israel, more propaganda for Israel, more laws for Israel.
02:26:30.000Every Republican representative has a liaison to that organization that leans on them.
02:28:04.000Also voted against foreign aid to Israel, and AIPAC funneled millions to Democrat challengers in their primary races to make them lose the nomination from their own party for their seat.
02:30:09.000Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's getting his information from Israel-controlled media, like Fox News, like Blaze TV, like PragerU.
02:30:18.000Maybe because he's getting his money from Israel-controlled lobbying groups like AIPAC.
02:30:24.000Maybe it's because Israel-supported think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute or others are putting together the intelligence reports that he reads that informs him about the region.
02:30:36.000And so you get into Washington, D.C., and you look around at the four walls of your congressional office, and you find you're surrounded.
02:30:43.000You're literally surrounded on all fronts.
02:31:49.000They're getting their money from the lobby.
02:31:51.000They're getting their news from the lobby.
02:31:53.000They're getting their intelligence from the lobby.
02:31:55.000And that's why you land yourself in an interview with Tucker Carlson saying we have to go to war with Iran and you don't even know how many people live there.
02:32:09.000Because all of that stuff is being pre-chewed for him by his entire team, his entire outfit, the whole conservative movement for him to rubber stamp.
02:32:59.000And that is why those two clips taken together, this is an emperor has no clothes situation.
02:33:07.000And I will tell you firsthand, because I went to college for two semesters, I went to Boston University, and I saw and experienced firsthand how all of these people are groomed.
02:33:26.000They get you in college with Turning Point USA, with college Republicans, with Young Americans for Freedom.
02:33:34.000And when you start up a Turning Point chapter, they send you a box of stickers and posters and pins, and a third of them say, we stand with Israel.
02:33:43.000And they have Prager University on the campus.
02:34:06.000And if you're an 18-year-old guy, you're 18, 19, 20, and even if you're an adult, if you're watching Fox News, if you're a Republican voter, you must think.
02:34:18.000Oh, well, there's got to be a good reason for this.
02:36:25.000He doesn't even know what book in the Bible that he's citing that says we need to support Yes, our senators, our congressmen, the boomers, the evangelicals, the conservatives, the Republicans, a lot of them are well-meaning people, good people that, yeah, they got duped.
02:37:04.000And now it's time for people to start to realize exactly what was going on the entire time and the entire scope of it.
02:37:10.000And by the way, here's what I want to say about Tucker Carlson.
02:37:14.000It's interesting that throughout that conversation and throughout his conversation with Steve Bannon, Earlier in the week, he insists that he's still pro-Israel.
02:37:26.000If we can understand that Ted Cruz is a U.S. senator from one of our biggest states, Texas, he's pushing us to go into another suicidal, catastrophic war for reasons he himself does not understand, most probably because he has been tricked and bribed into supporting this by a subversive foreign lobby.
02:38:14.000And I think the real reason why Tucker Carlson put out this interview, although I think it's great, is because if Tucker Carlson is in the CIA, there's another reason why they want to be pro-Israel, but not in favor of a war in Iran.
02:38:29.000These guys like Tucker Carlson, Peter Thiel, Joe Kent, Steve Bannon, these guys are all intelligence.
02:38:37.000They're all pro-Israel, but they're all anti-Neocon.
02:38:45.000We talked a little bit about this a couple days ago.
02:38:49.000They believe that America must embrace a realist foreign policy to survive.
02:38:55.000They think the problem with the wars in the Middle East is that they're not strategically beneficial and they're right, and we need to do a strategic pivot to China.
02:39:34.000Tucker Carlson is in favor of Steve Whitcoff because...
02:39:54.000That helps us get out of the Middle East and over into China.
02:39:57.000And insofar as they want to prioritize China, they want to get us out of the Middle East.
02:40:02.000That means we can't go to war with Iran.
02:40:04.000That means we need to make a deal and bring the Gulf states into normalization with Israel for the purpose of a defense treaty so they can pick up the slack where we left off.
02:40:13.000That's why it's important to understand these subtleties.
02:40:16.000It's important to understand who we're dealing with.
02:40:18.000And it's important to pay attention to these little nuances that you might not catch.
02:40:23.000Because the difference between me and someone like Tucker Carlson, I don't work for the CIA, unlike him.
02:41:24.000And the reason he's poo-pooing this, the reason he was supporting the diplomacy with Whitcoff, the reason he's pro-Israel, even though apparently aware of what it is, why he's lied about it for so long, is because he is a part of this CIA racket.
02:41:40.000They want to give the Middle East to Israel so that we can go and fight China.
02:41:44.000And I don't think we should give the Middle East to Israel.
02:41:47.000I think that we should empower Iran as a balance against Israel.
02:41:50.000And I don't think we should let Saudi Arabia get a defense guarantee from us.
02:41:55.000I think it's terrible politics in any case.
02:41:58.000So that was the big interview with Tucker and Ted Cruz.
02:42:02.000It revealed something obvious, something we maybe already knew.
02:42:05.000And I think tomorrow I might do a reaction stream to it because I want to cover the entire thing.
02:44:16.000I do want to get into the current situation between Iran and Israel.
02:44:20.000We'll talk about the U.S. involvement.
02:44:23.000So, getting into the latest on the Israel-Iran war, this is what you all came to hear about, I'm sure.
02:44:29.000The big headline from today is that there is a massive U.S. military buildup in the Middle East.
02:44:35.000There is currently one aircraft carrier there.
02:44:38.000Earlier in the week, it was reported that a second aircraft carrier was being moved from the Pacific into the Arabian Sea to join the one that was already there, the USS Carl Vinson.
02:44:50.000Now it has been revealed there is a third aircraft carrier in the region.
02:44:58.000By Sunday, this coming Sunday, there will be three carrier strike groups in the Middle East, one in the eastern Mediterranean to defend Israel, two in the Arabian Sea, or near the Persian Gulf.
02:45:12.000In addition, three dozen refueling aircraft, squadrons of fighter jets from the United States and from the United Kingdom, and all of the air bases, including the largest U.S. air base in the region in Qatar, Has been completely evacuated.
02:45:29.000There's no aircraft on the airfields, on the tarmac.
02:45:33.000All signs point in terms of this military buildup to an imminent war with Iran.
02:45:40.000Clearly, and you can read into this and assess the likelihood of bombs actually dropping.
02:46:30.000One is that we're putting these assets in the region because the decision has already been made or is nearing completion and we're going to war with Iran.
02:46:41.000We're putting aircraft carriers there for offensive and defensive capabilities to engage Iran, bomb their nuclear sites, suppress their ballistic missiles.
02:46:54.000We're making war preparations for an imminent war.
02:46:58.000The other distinct possibility, the second, is that, well, we are preparing for a war and we're creating the perception that we're preparing for the war to create a maximum pressure environment to give Iran one last chance to make a deal.
02:47:59.000The rumors and the reporting so far from sources in the White House tracks with that.
02:48:05.000Bloomberg earlier today reported that Trump This is a story.
02:48:12.000It says, quote, Some of the people pointed to potential plans for a weekend strike.
02:48:38.000Top leaders at a handful of federal agencies have begun getting ready for an attack.
02:48:43.000Waiting a few days to strike gives Iranian leaders additional runway to demonstrate to Trump they're willing to give up some uranium enrichment capabilities to deter a US attack.
02:48:53.000The Iranian foreign minister said in a social media post on Wednesday that his country remained committed to diplomacy and never sought a nuclear weapon.
02:49:03.000Foreign ministers from the UK, France and Germany are planning to hold nuclear talks with their Iranian counterpart on Friday in Geneva.
02:49:11.000There's another report out from the Wall Street Journal.
02:49:14.000It says that Trump has already made the decision.
02:49:20.000It says President Trump told senior aides late on Tuesday.
02:49:25.000That he approved of attack plans for Iran, but was holding off to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program.
02:49:31.000Asked if he had decided whether to strike at Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump said, I may do it, I may not do it, and repeated his insistence of Iran's unconditional surrender.
02:49:42.000He said the next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.
02:49:46.000The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier said his country would not surrender.
02:49:52.000And warned any U.S. military intervention would bring irreparable consequences.
02:49:59.000So what we're seeing is all pretty consistent from these various reports, the forced buildup, and even from Trump's statements himself.
02:50:08.000The position from Washington seems to be we're getting ready to bomb Iran.
02:50:13.000We're either going to bomb them or we're going to get a total surrender, but those are the only options.
02:50:18.000And we're making preparations for a war because most likely we're going to get the war.
02:50:23.000So the aircraft carriers, the fighter jets, all that stuff is coming down.
02:50:31.000It's just that the final order to strike has not happened yet because Trump is holding out hope that this is still part of a maximum pressure, art of the deal, diplomacy to get Iran across the finish line and make a deal.
02:50:45.000That seems to be where the United States is.
02:50:48.000So sitting here on Wednesday, let's talk about the timeline here in the coming days and what is liable to happen.
02:50:57.000So first, there is a meeting that is going to take place on Friday.
02:51:03.000The French, the Germans, and the British are meeting with an Iranian delegation.
02:51:13.000There's going to be a meeting between the foreign ministers or delegations from the foreign ministries of these countries, and the goal of all the powers involved is to de-escalate the conflict.
02:51:34.000And pursuant to that end, And following the diplomatic meeting, there will be a technical meeting of experts.
02:51:48.000Now, this matters because there's a difference between a diplomatic meeting and a technical meeting.
02:51:53.000The original Iranian nuclear deal in 2015, the JCPOA, was an extremely technical deal.
02:52:01.000And it has to do with nuclear science.
02:52:03.000It has to do with the specifications of what Iran's nuclear activities can be and of their facilities and how inspections will be conducted.
02:52:12.000And that has a lot to do with intense and sophisticated science.
02:52:17.000So it looks like on Friday, what is really happening is a sixth round of Iran-U.S.
02:52:26.000Realistically, this is resuming diplomacy from Trump and Steve Whitcoff's talks that took place within that 60-day window which expired last week.
02:52:37.000That is what appears to be happening on Friday, a meeting in Switzerland of the three European signatories on the original deal with Iran, followed by technical talks, and this is all being coordinated with the United States.
02:52:54.000The U.S. is involved in coordinating the meeting.
02:52:57.000Now, consider that the United States, Trump, has been insistent since last week that he still desires a deal.
02:53:05.000His initial reaction to the strikes was, now's their chance to make a deal.
02:53:10.000And he has reiterated that on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and today.
02:53:23.000The U.S. is still interested in a deal.
02:53:26.000The official position of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom is they're urging the United States, really more so France and Germany, they're urging the United States not to get involved.
02:53:37.000And Iran has insisted throughout this whole week they want the Israeli attacks to stop, they won't negotiate under duress, but they still believe in diplomacy, they still are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
02:53:52.000So in spite of Israel's provocation, it seems that every other player, the three European signatories, the E3 on the JCPOA, Iran itself, and the United States, all still believe in a diplomatic end.
02:54:07.000And it seems that that's all coming to a head on Friday.
02:54:11.000The third aircraft carrier arrives on Sunday.
02:54:15.000And it would seem that if an agreement is not made on Friday, The forces will be assembled by Sunday to carry out an attack.
02:54:24.000This is your sixth round of talks after the deadline, after Trump demonstrated his seriousness.
02:54:32.000Israel's off the chain and the U.S. has this forced posture in the Middle East.
02:54:37.000We're ready to pull the trigger immediately.
02:55:08.000If before Israel started this conflict, Trump was going to allow Iran to enrich at a low level for a short time and then be a part of a consortium later on and all this, now he's saying complete surrender.
02:55:22.000And that would imply complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program, something I don't think they're going to go for.
02:55:29.000On the other side, Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah, has said, we will never surrender.
02:55:59.000Going into the talks on Friday, it doesn't sound like they're going to make a deal.
02:56:03.000If Trump is saying total surrender, which means dismantlement, and he's encouraging Netanyahu to continue the strikes, and on the other side, Iran is saying we will never surrender, we won't negotiate under duress, we won't come to an agreement unless Israel stops, and we're never giving up our centrifuges at all, seems like we're still at an impasse.
02:56:25.000Now, we're in the middle of a conflict.
02:56:30.000So, of course, what is being said on social media may not necessarily reflect the real positions, the real negotiating positions of the various parties that will meet on Friday.
02:56:41.000In a war, you're going to say, we will never surrender.
02:56:47.000You might say things like that, but in reality, the positions might be very different on Friday because all of these participants do want de-escalation and ultimately a diplomatic resolution of the conflict.
02:57:13.000The question is whether Iran is going to really give it up.
02:57:17.000But in reality, and I've said this throughout the week, last week and this week, Is that we are in this predicament, and I said it last night, I will keep saying it, and I said it on Twitter, it's my pinned tweet right now.
02:57:32.000Never forget that Israel initiated the strikes.
02:57:36.000Now, I'm not saying that to place the blame at their feet.
02:57:41.000That's not the purpose of saying that right now.
02:57:44.000I'm not saying Israel started it to say, you know, they cause all the wars in the world, although they do.
02:57:49.000I'm not saying it for that reason right now.
02:57:52.000The reason it's so important to understand that Israel started the war and started the strikes is because Israel has the initiative in the conflict.
02:58:03.000When there is tension, when there are hostilities between two countries, there is a ladder that they climb, a ladder of escalation.
02:58:47.000And that's a technical term who has dominance over escalation, who controls the escalation.
02:58:52.000Whether you're going to keep going up and keep increasing the level of hostility or whether you're going to go down and reduce the level of tension, reduce the hostilities to a lower level.
02:59:03.000The reason that I keep reminding you and insisting that Israel started the conflict is because Israel is driving the escalation.
02:59:12.000They are pushing us up the ladder and they always have.
02:59:16.000In January of 2024, last year, Israel carried out a terror attack in Iran on the anniversary of the death of Qasem Soleimani.
02:59:27.000And then, throughout that month, they carried out other terrorist attacks.
02:59:31.000In April of last year, Israel carried out an attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus, Syria, extremely provocative, which resulted in Iran attacking Israel with missiles, and Israel did not retaliate.
02:59:45.000Then in July, and even between that time, their president, Abraham Risi, was killed.
02:59:52.000Some believe it was the Revolutionary Guard.
02:59:54.000In July of last year, Israel bombed Tehran.
02:59:59.000They killed the leader of Hamas during the inauguration day of Iran's new president.
03:00:05.000Iran retaliated months later with missiles.
03:00:07.000Israel counterattacked by bombing their air defenses at Isfahan.
03:00:13.000And then throughout this year, Israel's been starting industrial fires in Iran, sabotaging diplomacy with Iran, overthrew the Syrian regime.
03:00:22.000And then ultimately, they attacked Iran first with hundreds of airstrikes, drone attacks, car bombings, suicide drone attacks inside of Iran.
03:00:42.000Because Iran and the United States and Germany and France and the United Kingdom, these are some of the most powerful countries in the world, okay?
03:00:51.000France, the UK, and the United States, these are three of the P5 countries in the Security Council.
03:00:56.000These are three out of a dozen nuclear states.
03:00:59.000Meeting with Iran, one of the most powerful countries in the world, with a huge military, one of the biggest and most powerful countries in the Middle East.
03:01:07.000They can all meet in Switzerland on Friday, and they can all agree that we should end the war, and they can all agree on some declaration of principles towards a nuclear agreement.
03:01:19.000But if Israel doesn't stop bombing Iran, it doesn't matter.
03:01:25.000If Israel keeps bombing Iran with its fighter jets and from inside Iran with suicide drones and car bombings and the rest of it, no agreement can be implemented.
03:01:36.000And let's not forget that the United States was trying to restrain Israel this entire time.
03:01:43.000Trump said last Monday to Netanyahu it would be inappropriate to attack Iran while we're negotiating.
03:01:52.000Earlier this year, in April, the United States called off an Israeli airstrike on Iran.
03:01:59.000Trump fired his national security advisor, Mike Waltz, because he was pushing for a strike on Iran on behalf of Israel.
03:02:07.000So throughout the year, the United States and the European allies have failed to restrain Israel from provoking Iran, escalating the conflict, increasing tensions, and finally culminating in their unilateral strike on Iran.
03:02:21.000Now the question is, will all these powers be able to get Israel to stop?
03:02:27.000Enter the psychology of Bibi Netanyahu.
03:02:31.000Netanyahu has taken a profound risk by bombing Iran.
03:02:35.000He's violated the airspace of like four different countries.
03:02:39.000He launched direct attacks on Iran, killed their leadership.
03:02:44.000Israel has suffered major damage and imperiled its own population, its own defense ministry, its own nuclear plant.
03:02:52.000They've expended hundreds of millions of dollars, at this point billions of dollars, in critical missile interceptors in the course of defending Israel.
03:03:01.000They have turned much of the world against them.
03:04:14.000It was a risk domestically for Netanyahu, internationally for Israel standing in the world.
03:04:19.000Is Netanyahu going to turn around and go home and obey the United States when he never has before without achieving what he set out to achieve, which is to significantly degrade or destroy Iran's nuclear capability?
03:04:32.000I don't think they're willing to do that.
03:04:35.000I think it's unlikely that Iran agrees to give up its centrifuges.
03:04:39.000I think it's unlikely the United States will settle for anything less.
03:04:42.000I think it's unlikely that Israel is going to stop bombing Iran without getting the United States to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
03:04:50.000So in short, I don't think anybody's willing to do what is necessary to end the conflict.
03:05:12.000And that is to provoke Iran such that it would be impossible for them to make a deal.
03:05:18.000Either that or provoke the United States in such a way that they can never make a deal.
03:05:24.000Israel saw that the U.S. and Iran were close to a deal last time and they torpedoed it.
03:05:29.000If they see the United States and Iran about to make a breakthrough and make a deal this time on Friday, they're either going to have a false flag against America that makes it untenable for Washington to come to an agreement, or they're going to kill the supreme leader, or they're going to attack some other strategic target or facility in Iran that would make it impossible for Iran to get behind a deal, or the Iranian public to get behind a deal.
03:05:57.000And that would guarantee that by Sunday or by Monday, the United States is involved in the conflict.
03:07:19.000Israel is saying that if Trump goes in and bombs Fordow, Israel is going to send in commandos, I guess, special forces that are going to go on the ground.
03:07:28.000They're going to go into the tunnels, into the mountain, and they're going to somehow blow it up, which is like impossible.
03:09:12.000Our bases are far less defended than Israel.
03:09:16.000And our bases are closer to Iran than Israel.
03:09:19.000So when Iran launches a missile at Israel, it has to go 1,000 miles.
03:09:24.000When Iran launches a missile at the American base in the United Arab Emirates or Baghdad, it has to go hundreds of miles.
03:09:31.000So we can't detect it as early, and we don't have this big complex of missile defense in every one of our outposts there, every one of our bases or communications or radar sites.
03:10:06.000So they're telling us, the way they make it sound, they make it sound like we're going to fly in and drop one bomb one time and then we go home and everyone lives happily ever after.
03:10:16.000No, we're going to have to drop multiple bombs multiple times.
03:10:20.000We're going to have to drop bombs on multiple sites.
03:10:25.000Their ability to retaliate by bombing their ballistic missile launchers.
03:10:30.000We're also going to have to bomb their navy because the other way they're going to retaliate, I mean inevitably they're going to launch ballistic missiles, they're also going to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz or laying mines to trap American vessels in the Persian Gulf.
03:10:45.000We're going to have to destroy those too.
03:10:47.000But it's not just Iran because all their proxies are going to bomb us, the Shiites in Iraq.
03:10:53.000Probably the population will attack our embassy.
03:10:56.000The Houthis will attack shipping in the Red Sea.
03:12:23.000But he will be told by his advisors and by the Israelis and by the people surrounding Hegseth and Rubio and the rest of them that this is the right thing to do.
03:15:58.000The way that came about is I was supposed to do a talk at a college Republican meeting at Iowa State, but the protesters caught wind of it.
03:16:10.000And before I even arrived on the campus, these BLM protesters took over the venue and shut the event down.
03:16:18.000So the organizers arranged a second venue.
03:16:22.000And they weren't going to tell the protesters where it were, but they followed us anyway.
03:16:25.000And so I wound up in this classroom with all these black people.
03:16:29.000And I'm getting ready to give my speech anyway.
03:16:31.000And a cop shows up and says, oh, well, you know, you didn't reserve this room.
03:16:48.000It was like 20 degrees, snow on the ground.
03:16:52.000I'm literally, and I'm like, well, you know, I want to get up to talk to the people, so I just jump up on this ledge in the snow, and I start giving my speech to these like 30 counter-protesters, or 30 protesters, I guess, and they were all black.
03:20:54.000It is about confronting China with AI.
03:20:57.000I mean every planner in the United States that is not a total Zionist realizes that China is going to be the big dog because they are competing in all these advanced industries of the future, all these like – what is it?
03:21:11.000Fifth Industrial Revolution sectors, whether it's drones or semiconductors or quantum computing, artificial intelligence, robotics.
03:21:21.000I mean … You know, even hypersonics, their collaboration with Russia, they're deeply worried about China.
03:21:29.000They're deeply worried about the supply chains for critical minerals for the United States, for the energy transition, for the nuclear reactors, fighter jets, optics, all that kind of stuff.
03:21:43.000And so I think these guys like Tucker, they're like military men.
03:21:47.000They don't want us to be bogged down in Iran.
03:21:49.000They want us to go and pivot to China because this is really heating up.
03:21:52.000I mean, at the same time that everything is happening in the Middle East, there's two Chinese aircraft carriers off their coast.
03:22:00.000And they've got ships approaching the coast of South Korea, the coast of Guam, the coast of Taiwan.
03:22:06.000Huge Chinese naval buildup over there in the Pacific.
03:22:12.000And we're reaching that timeline here.
03:22:14.000They're estimating it's like 2027, 2028 that China's going to make their move.
03:22:20.000And this is at the same time that the AI arms race is heating up.
03:22:25.000These guys like Tucker are desperate to confront China.
03:22:29.000And that means they want to cut our losses in Ukraine and drop them.
03:22:50.000And that way, that frees us up to go and fight in Central Africa and to fight in the Pacific to secure the critical minerals and supply chains to defend and prepare for the defense of Taiwan and to confront China.
03:25:35.000He's out there with braided hair, sacrificing a rabbit in the woods, LARPing as a pagan, and thinking Stephen Miller's our closest fucking ally.
03:38:24.000I pack treasury funds and $15 started watching your show just this year and much appreciate what you do that you can be so successful off of only these chances of white pelt DBH and a huge testament to the quality of this content.
03:38:33.000By the way, with this chat, your show is now officially sponsored by the state of Israel.
03:38:55.000I didn't start making any serious money until like three years into doing it, which is not a really long time in the grand scheme of things.
03:39:02.000But, you know, it's very risky because there's no guarantee that doing like the anti-Semitic white nationalist show is going to make money ever.
03:40:47.000But yeah, I mean, these guys, they're just, I don't know if it's their naive.
03:40:51.000It is a certain personality type that says things like that.
03:40:55.000I don't know if they're ignorant or naive, but I think Michael Knowles is a well-meaning guy, but he's got to just be either profoundly ignorant or just very foolish.
03:41:03.000I don't know how you can't get it at this point.
03:41:05.000It's so obvious, but some people, they're born to be tricked.
03:41:31.000So, you know, I do think there is something to be said about that.
03:41:35.000There is, I don't know if it's a cultural thing or a personality type, but it does sort of take a bit of a shyster to understand what is going on.
03:41:44.000You can't be one of these extremely, you know, then again, Michael Knowles is Italian, but he seems like Northern Italian or something.
03:41:50.000Because he doesn't seem like rough around the edges.
03:41:52.000It doesn't seem like a real grease ball.
03:45:36.000I think we disagree on things, and we have disagreed on things in the past, but his heart's in the right place, and he is a sincere actor, in my opinion.
03:45:51.000I didn't see anything else about it, but I tend to be skeptical of things like that.
03:45:55.000Starks at Apulos Papantonio was sent $10.
03:45:57.000Hey Nick, I know you want to roast me, but if I fight for Cyprus, would the island be an unwinnable bloodbath due to the proximity of the conflict?
03:46:01.000I don't want to die for the people in control.
03:46:02.000I don't know if God would want me to lose.
03:48:15.000Glad to hear you're red-pilling your friends with the information you get on the show.
03:48:19.000I don't usually recommend that people do that because usually people can't argue it as good as me or they don't have the background knowledge.
03:48:27.000And so you really just risk alienating people.
03:48:30.000But hey, if it helps, I love to hear it.
03:50:06.000Why am I just finding out that Ted Cruz's father was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald at a pro Cuba rally days before the JFK assassination?
03:51:24.000So – but that's the trend that's sweeping the whole Middle East.
03:51:27.000In Saudi Arabia, they're moderating – I don't know if they're secularizing yet, but they're talking about opening up liquor stores and women are being allowed to drive and they're modernizing.
03:51:37.000And with modernization comes liberalization.
03:51:39.000So we seem to be kind of getting over that demographic hump where there was this huge birth rate, all these young radical Muslims 20, 30 years ago.
03:51:51.000But I'm sure that's being promulgated by the West as well.
03:51:58.000Yeah, we've been talking about that all week.
03:54:23.000I ran into Ted Cruz and his wife in the Cayman Islands last year.
03:54:24.000I was going to introduce myself and respectfully dissent to his support of Israel, but his Goldman Sachs wife was completely berating him in public at the mall.
03:54:30.000She was yelling, "You've completely ruined this trip," and the kids were crying.
03:54:36.000As someone who studied and tracks U.S. fiscal policy and economics closely, I find the outright threats and statements from Trump towards Fed Chair Powell ridiculous.
03:54:42.000As flawed as the Fed is, they are relatively unbiased.
03:54:44.000Do you think there's anything deeper than Trump just wanting rate cuts at play?
03:59:30.000If there's a silver lining, assuming we avoid a nuclear war, a war with Iran will be so unpopular, so inexplicable that it will kill the Republican Party.
04:02:07.000I don't even, I just don't even want to hear about that right now.
04:02:09.000Ben Cruz's butt boy slash co-host Ben Ferguson was on Piers Morgan talking about the threat of ISIS and Al-Qaeda as justification for attacking Iran.
04:03:05.000That's what we talk about on the show.
04:03:08.000I do a whole show about it, then you ask questions that are answered during the show.
04:03:14.000I don't think this will actually have a huge global impact.
04:03:19.000I mean, the only extent that it's as relevant is that if the United States gets deeply involved in Iran, It slightly increases the chance that China will make their move, but I don't think by much on Taiwan.
04:03:34.000It also bogs us down so that we cannot support Ukraine.
04:03:38.000That means probably the Ukrainian front line deteriorates, and Russia makes major gains in their summer offensive this year, and so they keep pushing.
04:04:08.000If there's a prolonged, protracted conflict in the Middle East and in the Persian Gulf, if the Strait of Hormuz gets closed, if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia and their oil fields, If there's a rebellion in the eastern province, oil prices go up.
04:04:22.000This has ramifications for development of AI, cheap electricity, inflation in the United States for the midterms.
04:04:30.000And also this has to do with the, to some extent, alignment of Europe.
04:04:33.000Europe is considering strategic autonomy.
04:06:12.000And one swing state would be the fulcrum upon which the whole election was decided.
04:06:17.000And in a state like Michigan, if it was going to be one of those states, you know, let's say he won Georgia and Arizona, he would need to win Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania.
04:06:28.000I figured Michigan has this huge Muslim Arab population.
04:06:34.000I said, if we could go to Michigan, if we could rally these...
04:06:42.000If we could capture, you know, 150,000 of those voters, let's say, or even a fraction of that and get them to commit, and we could go out with a message and say, if you say you won't go to war with Iran, you can deliver these voters and swing the state and maybe swing the whole election, then it could give us some leverage.
04:07:00.000But what happened, it was clear that once Kamala was appointed, Trump was going to win in the landslide.
04:07:08.000And so we no longer had that leverage.
04:07:10.000There was no longer this fulcrum status in one state, least of all Michigan.
04:07:55.000And what's more, once it became clear Trump was going to win, I knew that if we did rallies, if we did door knocking, everybody that did that would get doxxed, and we need those people in the Trump administration, which they are.
04:08:09.000So I didn't want to get all those people blackballed by going to a rally or going to a door knocking thing, because you know that Susie Wiles and Las Vidas would have sent spies.
04:08:21.000To check everybody out, take pictures, and, you know, then they'd be on the do not hire list.
04:08:26.000So I just figured, you know, it'd just stop making sense a couple weeks in.
04:09:23.000They posted the clip, the cookie clip.
04:09:27.000No way dude Right wing left wing you're both just that's almost feels like it's like stressful Dude, the thing is, anyone who's really political is low-key as jesters.
04:16:39.000In the mid-game, the early game, you blitz, you take over Australia.
04:16:44.000Then the mid-game, you're chilling, you're casual, building industry, you're building your navy, researching battleships, the rest of it.
04:16:52.000And meanwhile, the whole map is changing.
04:16:55.000You know, Africa's taken over by one, Europe's taken over by one, Asia's, and these coalitions are forming.
04:17:00.000And you can really get to the end and get second place.
04:17:03.000Now, if you're good and you're really into that playthrough, you could go through Asia.
04:17:08.000You could make a play, but if you want to hang out, you could join the winning coalition or just hang out until second place and they leave you alone.
04:17:17.000No one's going to go and fight Australia.
04:17:19.000The big battle's going to be happening in Persia.
04:17:21.000The big battle's going to be happening in South America.
04:22:12.000The West Bladen proof you will blindly support Israel and it's almost caricature like the way they will rate their support and know nothing.
04:25:06.000Went to the grocery store tonight and saw three Muslims randomly praying to Mecca behind a gas station while there was a lightning storm going on.
04:26:00.000So I think maybe he was meeting with that commander to discuss spillover, try and contain that fallout if there's regime change or something.
04:26:10.000I don't believe Pakistan will get involved on the side of Iran.
04:26:14.000They're not as close as people, as maybe ordinary people think.
04:26:18.000So maybe there's some degree of coordination happening, because again, you know, the United States worked with Pakistan against the Taliban in the past, but it's hard to say.
04:26:27.000It's hard to say specifically what they talked about.
04:28:00.000MC Intosh sent $10 The Trump clips in your intro are all really good He used to be the GOAT Yeah When test for press 2036 sent $10 Check Rarum Novarum Why did something happen?
