00:06:30.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:06:34.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:06:41.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:06:43.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:06:48.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:06:56.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:06:59.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:13.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:17.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:07:21.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:07:27.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:07:31.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:09:38.000that america was different because we are different palantir is an ai data analytics company
00:10:02.000They use artificial intelligence to look at vast amounts of data and create insights.
00:10:09.000If the government has an amount of data which is kind of unimaginable, if you've got every phone call, every email, every transaction, every photograph of a license plate on the highway, satellite data, it's too much data for a bureaucracy to sift through.
00:10:26.000Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
00:24:53.000If we don't have freedom on the Internet in the age of AI, we are going to be mind raped every day forever.
00:25:01.000Think about anything you've ever said or done in the vicinity of your phone's camera or microphone, everything you've ever put into your phone, and even things that are not necessarily so scandalous, but even things like your favorite restaurants, your geo-location, because your phone also has a GPS.
00:25:23.000They have access to your bank account.
00:25:25.000AI will literally know everything about you.
00:25:29.000Everyone you know, your relationship to them, your tastes, your preferences, your habits, your whereabouts, your routines, your schedule, when you're asleep.
00:25:39.000They know how much REM sleep you're getting.
00:25:43.000They know how many calories you consume.
00:25:45.000Think about the ways that they can manipulate you.
00:25:48.000You have a computer in your refrigerator, computer in your car, computer in your home security system, computer in your everything, computer in your clothes, your watch, your glasses, your VR headset, your alarm clock.
00:26:00.000You have a smart home, economy of things.
00:26:02.000It's like total, like, rape of everybody by the system forever.
00:26:18.000My life is like a first-person video game, you know?
00:27:18.000These material appetites will never be satisfied.
00:27:23.000And even if they are, it'll never be an adequate substitute for communion with our Holy Father, with somebody, with the author of the world.
00:27:32.000Every mother and father understands the love for a child.
00:50:55.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:51:00.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:51:07.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
00:51:09.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:51:14.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:51:21.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:51:25.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

00:51:43.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:51:46.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:51:53.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:51:57.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:53:18.000Are you in favor of a society with meaning?
00:53:23.000A society where life is sacred, where life has sanctity, where people's lives and their dignity and their integrity is respected.
00:53:37.000Or are we going to live in a society that is a never-ending war between nihilistic tribes, warlords, savages, pagans?
00:53:48.000I see an emerging consensus, and I think that the mature people that actually love America, actually love our children, the people that recognize the division, the peril that we're in, we need to fortify a new consensus and rally the people of conscience, the people of decency, the people of humanity, the people of charity towards their fellow man,
00:54:16.000against those that want to kill us, against those that laugh and celebrate when innocent people are harmed for any reason, for any ideological reason, against the people that are cruel, the people that are hateful.
00:54:32.000And by that, I mean the people that are really cruel, not the people that say things you disagree with, not the people that are provocative, not the people that are sometimes angry, but the people that are really cruel and really evil.
00:54:55.000What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us.
00:55:23.000An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
00:56:50.000Mission is an Israeli Funded blacklist which, since july 2025, has been confirmed to be used by the Trump administration to target students, professors and professionals who oppose Israel and reside in the United States.
00:57:02.000This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
00:57:09.000In their initiative, titled Project Esther, they state that students participating in pro-Palestinian protests and activism are supporting Hamas, a group that the United States designates as a foreign terrorist organization.
00:57:21.000Therefore, pro-Palestinian students are considered to be supporting terrorism and are subject to the revocation of visas, frozen bank accounts, asset seizures, and the denial of basic constitutional rights.
00:57:33.000In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
00:57:45.000Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
00:57:55.000While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
00:58:09.000I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence as Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States.
00:58:26.000And anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy.
00:58:31.000I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
00:58:35.000So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
00:58:39.000Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
00:58:46.000And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
00:58:49.000As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
00:58:53.000And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
00:58:57.000As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and they're the greatest country ever, I will never be okay with that.
00:59:55.000This is not a timeline going back to 1948.
00:59:58.000What had just happened before the 2016 election?
01:00:01.000Barack Obama created the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the JCPOA, or the Iranian nuclear deal.
01:00:10.000And Barack Obama brought together China, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the European Union to enforce a nuclear deal that restricts Iran's enrichment of uranium.
01:00:24.000The early talks were conducted in secret, and the Israelis were furious, furious about this.
01:00:32.000Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
01:00:43.000This is the background of Trump's first election.
01:02:06.000They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
01:02:20.000This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
01:14:47.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:14:52.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:14:58.000And we're killing ourselves every day.
01:15:01.000Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.

01:50:11.000You got that back, but that's a lack of bump.
01:50:18.000Listen to the cure, listen to the cure, listen to the cure, and then it cry.
01:50:32.000All the things I've had, running through my head, running through my head, running through my head.
01:50:36.000All the things you're saying, all the things you said, running through my head, running through my head, all the things you had, all the things you had, all the time.

02:08:50.000Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
02:09:00.000This is the background of Trump's first election.
02:10:23.000They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
02:10:38.000This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
02:18:50.000During the State of the Union, Trump talked specifically about nuclear weapons.
02:18:56.000He said that Iran has to pledge not to build nuclear weapons.
02:19:00.000And this is something actually that he's been saying.
02:19:03.000He actually said that yesterday afternoon, that he's looking for these magic words from Iran, that they're not going to pursue a nuclear bomb.
02:19:13.000And what is interesting is that is distinct from the U.S. red line up until this point, as we've discussed.
02:19:21.000In these negotiations between Iran and the United States, the central issue inside of the nuclear issue is their native enrichment capability.
02:19:43.000If up until this point they were saying we're requesting zero enrichment, but now he's saying what we're really after is no nuclear weapons.
02:19:52.000Well, that might sound like a subtle change, and it might sound maybe like it's not even a difference with a distinction, but it is, and it's a big one because those are two very different things.
02:20:04.000That being said, we heard this last night and yesterday afternoon, but now today we have two other Trump admin officials, the Secretary of State and the Vice President, who are giving a totally different message.
02:20:18.000JD Vance, vice president, says this afternoon that the U.S. has evidence Iran is rebuilding a nuclear weapons program.
02:20:58.000Vance comes out today and says Iran is making a nuclear bomb.
02:21:04.000So if you were feeling good about the statement last night, well, this is not so good.
02:21:09.000Later in the day, the Secretary of State Mark Arubio came out and said that if Iran is unwilling to discuss its ballistic missiles, he said that's a big problem.
02:21:20.000Well, if you now insist that Iran must make concessions on its ballistic missile program, now you have completely scuttled diplomacy because the entire framework for the talks is that it is only about the nuclear file.
02:21:36.000Iran has said it is a non-starter to even talk about those other issues.
02:21:42.000As a precondition for negotiations, Iran said we're not talking about missiles and we're not talking about proxies.
02:21:49.000We're only talking about the nuclear file.
02:21:55.000So if the new position from Washington is that now the ballistic missile program has to be a part of the deal, well, if there was any chance there could be an understanding tomorrow when the third round of talks is held, I don't see how that's going to happen.
02:22:12.000Because the whole framework for the discussion, and I should add, the Ayatollah only gave the Iranian government permission to negotiate with the expectation that these other issues were not on the table.
02:22:27.000So if suddenly the ballistic missiles have become a sticking point, if that's now a wedge, well, I don't see how we can proceed diplomatically at all.
02:23:25.000Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble, smash the like button, leave a comment, let me know what you think about the show.
02:23:33.000Check out our merch store at Fuentis.store.
02:23:37.000We have the America First hats, sweatshirts, t-shirts.
02:25:06.000They just talk all day and just say the dumbest stuff.
02:25:12.000And you're like, dude, shut the fuck up.
02:25:16.000It's like, dude, I'm literally, I literally crashed out like five minutes before the show because people are tagging me, tagging me, and they're just tagging me with nonsense.
02:25:26.000They're just tagging me to say, hey, bro, I love this show.
02:25:30.000It's like, I know you're paying me $100 to be in the group chat.
02:26:16.000It's actually, it's good content if you're, I guess, if you're an observer.
02:26:20.000If you're in it like me, you're in it.
02:26:23.000We're going to implement a karma system where if you get downvoted, you get restricted to, I don't know, maybe a certain amount of messages per day.
02:27:22.000There's not really much else happening.
02:27:27.000It's been a very slow couple of weeks.
02:27:29.000Even with the State of the Union last week, we had great, or last night, pardon me, we had great viewership last night, 70,000 live viewers, huge, massive stream.
02:27:40.000And I just want to say thank you for tuning in.
02:27:42.000If you joined us last night, it was our biggest stream of the year so far.
02:27:46.000I think we got close to 70,000 when I came back for Venezuela, but I believe that was our biggest stream so far this year.
02:27:57.000Even with the speech, I feel like nobody was even talking about it today.
02:28:03.000And I read the papers every day and I go on the timeline and I feel like almost nobody was even talking about it.
02:28:10.000I think the reason why is because it was honestly a good speech.
02:28:14.000Maybe that's a testament to the fact that it was good, that the mainstream publications didn't even want to report on it because they wanted to pretend it didn't happen.
02:28:28.000You know, I have my criticisms of Trump and I was pretty critical last night, but I think the reason almost nobody is giving it coverage is because it was a good speech.
02:28:49.000So do you remember when Nick Shirley went out to Minneapolis and he exposed all the fraud among the Somalians and how they're using these nonprofits and welfare scams to steal money from the government to the tune of billions of dollars?
02:29:40.000And then there was another guy who you might know of, this guy, Tyler Oliveira, and he goes to Lakewood, New Jersey.
02:29:50.000And what he uncovers is that there is an ethnic enclave of ultra-Orthodox Jews.
02:29:57.000And they're doing really a lot of the same things that the Somalians are doing in Minneapolis.
02:30:03.000And in the exact same way that there are Muslim Africans in Minneapolis who have set up this enclave and are leeching off the public doll, you have almost the mirror image of ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi Jews on the East Coast in Lakewood.
02:32:21.000And now all of his replies, his replies are being absolutely bombarded by his former friends, by Jews like Laura Loomer and a bunch of others.
02:33:09.000When it comes to, let's be fair, let's be perfectly honest.
02:33:14.000When it comes to African Somali Muslims, everything is tolerated.
02:33:20.000Fuck them and their religion and their shithole country.
02:33:25.000They're criminals and they're low IQ and they're scum and we got to deport them all and that ain't America and good on you for exposing the fraud.
02:35:38.000How is that not exactly the same thing?
02:35:41.000Once again, people will say, fuck Islam and these Africans.
02:35:47.000When it comes to the ultra-Orthodox Jews, can't say anything.
02:35:52.000So again, if it's not about a third world enclave, if it's not about that cultural alienation, what is it really about?
02:36:02.000Obviously, that whole Somali fraud thing was a big diversion.
02:36:08.000They are into their big diversion and distraction, which is let's stop talking about APAC and let's stop talking about Israel and let's stop talking about foreign aid and all that other stuff and let's find Muslims to blame.
02:36:23.000And don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of deporting all the Somalians, but notice they never did that, did they?
02:36:31.000Did they go into Minneapolis and deport every illegal Somalian?
02:37:38.000Do you remember in 2023, after October 7th, there were these big anti-Israel protests on the college campuses at Harvard, at University of Pennsylvania, at Columbia?
02:37:52.000And almost immediately, there was this huge effort to get the faculty at Harvard and those other schools terminated.
02:38:00.000They said, because you tolerated these anti-Israel protests, the whole faculty has to step down.
02:38:06.000And they wanted to fire the presidents of those universities.
02:38:09.000And they wanted them to implement all these new rules regarding protests and student safety and other things.
02:38:16.000And they tried this high pressure campaign for about a year and nothing was working.
02:38:22.000And in the end, how did they get the president of Harvard fired?
02:38:26.000They came up with this plagiarism scandal.
02:38:35.000She was Harvard's first black woman president.
02:38:39.000They tried to get her fired for a long time.
02:38:41.000And in the end, what finally pushed her out is that Chris Ruffo at the Manhattan Institute published this report that she had plagiarized one of her papers in her academic career.
02:38:55.000And that was the basis upon which she was fired.
02:38:58.000What was notable is at the same time that she was exposed for plagiarism, so was Bill Ackman's wife.
02:39:06.000Bill Ackman, one of the billionaire alumni of Harvard, who is pushing to get Claudine Gay fired, his wife, who is an Israeli Jew, she was busted for the exact same thing.
02:39:19.000Now, was there a big story about that?
02:41:28.000They are desperate for a young white guy that isn't a Groyper.
02:41:33.000You know, they're desperate for a young white guy, a young Gen Z white male who's based and who is focused on the Muslim thing or on the Brown problem, not talking about Jews, not a Groyper.
02:41:48.000And so when he came on the scene, and this was about a month after the Tucker cost, oh, they were so relieved and they did everything they could to promote him.
02:41:57.000That is until he didn't even make a thing about Lakewood.
02:42:01.000He just replied to somebody else who did.
02:42:04.000Now they say your goodwill is running out, kid.
02:42:17.000Like I said, we had a pretty massive stream, 70,000 live viewers tuned in.
02:42:22.000So I appreciate you guys checking out my live reaction.
02:42:27.000And I have to tell you, though, if you watched my coverage last night, I was very critical and very negative.
02:42:35.000And I have to report reluctantly that I was wrong.
02:42:39.000Last night, I said that the State of the Union was average, ineffective.
02:42:46.000I said, and ultimately, I thought that most people were not going to like it.
02:42:51.000I said that the average person is going to watch that and think that it was chaotic and divisive and combative.
02:42:59.000And I thought that it was a flop, but I was wrong.
02:43:03.000And today, all the polls, all of them, show that the majority of people actually loved the speech.
02:43:10.000Even the CNN poll, the CNN flash poll after the speech showed that out of all the people that watched the speech, over 60% of people thought it was good.
02:43:22.000And that includes 80% of Republicans, 40% of Democrats even, a majority of Independents.
02:43:36.000It says, quote, President Trump's State of the Union address drew largely positive marks from a heavily Republican audience, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
02:43:46.000But it didn't fully convince significant shares of even that friendly audience that he is focusing on the nation's most important problems or that he'll lower the cost of living.
02:43:57.000Nearly two-thirds of speech watchers said they had at least a somewhat positive reaction to Trump's speech, with a smaller 38% offering a very positive response.
02:44:09.000That's a few points cooler than the reception to his address to Congress last year and falls below the ratings for his first term speeches in CNN polling.
02:44:19.000It is similar to the ratings that former President Joe Biden saw during his last year in office.
02:44:25.000In the pre-speech survey, a majority of viewers said they most wanted to hear about the economy and the cost of living.
02:44:32.000Nearly half of the audience, 45% said, based on Trump's speech, that he was focusing too little on the issue, with 53% saying that he had given the issue the right amount of focus.
02:44:46.000And so, you know, I watched a speech last night, and for me, I actually liked it.
02:44:53.000And I was cheering for Trump at times.
02:44:56.000The only reason I felt that people might not like the speech is because I perceive that as maybe self-indulgent.
02:45:04.000I consider myself to be very far right.
02:45:08.000And I have been heavily critical of Trump because he's not far right enough.
02:45:13.000And what was notable about the speech is that he was so antagonistic towards the Democrats, so combative, so direct, literally pointing at them and blaming them for all the problems.
02:45:46.000And so even though I liked it, there were many moments during the speech that I liked.
02:45:51.000He called them crazy for supporting transgenderism, blamed them for supporting illegal immigration, which killed people, admonished them for not standing for Irina Zarutska's parents.
02:46:05.000I was literally cheering for these moments when Ilhan Omar was sitting there stewing and seething while Trump called Somalians pirates and scammers.
02:46:26.000Although I blame a lot of the failures on him and on his incompetence and on his personnel, who I think are terrible, of course, the only reason we're in this predicament is because the Democrats, they are doing a lot of these things.
02:46:42.000They are obstructing his agenda with the federal judges and the sanctuary cities.
02:46:49.000And we are very critical of the White House and the administration.
02:46:53.000I think they make a lot of unforced errors.
02:49:34.000And so a lot of people get it twisted and they say, these progressive Democrats, because they criticize the oligarchs and because they criticize Israel, they're somehow on our side.
02:50:51.000And anyway, so when I see Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and they're seething and jeering and they hated the speech, I'm like, good, fuck these people.
02:52:47.000Every skyscraper, every government building, our Constitution, all the laws, the internet, the rocket ships, the railroads, that's all thanks to white supremacists, okay?
02:57:01.000But when Trump says it's because of those people, they're raising the taxes, they're supporting sanctuary cities, he's right.
02:57:10.000It's not to say that there'd be no problems otherwise, but we would have a much easier time if they were more patriotic, if they were just doing their job.
02:57:19.000And you see what you have to choose from.
02:57:22.000Unfortunately, the Republican side, as corrupt as they are, look at them compared to the Democrat side.
02:57:28.000You have Al Green, this ridiculous, you know what, he's there in the gallery holding up a sign that says, black people aren't apes.
02:57:46.000When Trump acknowledged the young girl who was forcibly transitioned almost, they pan over to the transgender Democrat Congress, man to woman.
02:57:57.000Then you get Ilhan Omar seething, screaming like a banshee because Trump calls out the Somalis.
02:58:03.000She's right next to her homegirl, Rashida Tlaib, with her fuck ice button.
02:58:08.000I don't know that that's much better, actually.
02:58:11.000So I was a bit surprised that the speech was well received, but you know what?
02:58:18.000It shows that people are waking up and they see Trump.
02:58:21.000And don't get me wrong, like I said, we can say it's a good speech because it's rhetoric.
02:58:28.000In my view, this has nothing to do with his administration.
02:58:32.000But the rhetoric of the speech is patriotic.
02:58:35.000It's talking about the history of our country, about the American Revolution.
02:58:40.000It's talking about our 250-year birthday.
02:58:44.000talking about veterans, heroes, talking about members of the military, at least paying lip service to the idea of tariffs, of ending wars, of deporting illegals, of law and order.
02:58:59.000And so that people love the speech, this energetic, combative, aggressive speech.
02:59:06.000It's actually a very big white pill that those ideas still seem to be popular.
02:59:12.000Now, here's the thing, and this is what I see as unfortunate.
02:59:16.000It's like I said last night, I like the speech, but at the end of the day, it is just a speech.
02:59:25.000And what we saw in the speech last night seems to be totally divorced from the actual governance that we're getting.
02:59:33.000And so, for example, he goes up there and talks about how Biden opened up the borders.
02:59:39.000He let in all the illegals and they killed all these people and they're getting CDLs and they're crashing their cars into people.
03:00:25.000Okay, obviously Trump went out there last night knowing that he's got a lot of ground to cover.
03:00:32.000He's got a lot of room to catch up here because the Democrats are pulling away with this huge lead in early voting and voter registration and primary voting for the midterm election.
03:00:45.000So Trump is going out there knowing, I got to get people back on my side.
03:01:51.000Now, they're claiming in press releases and on Twitter that they have gotten millions of people out of the country through self-deportations and mass deportations.
03:02:02.000The real figure, which we don't even have, is estimated to be 230,000 for the year.
03:04:03.000Well, the narrative is the reason the Trump administration failed is because he tried to create a unitary executive, because he tried to do tariffs and mass deportations.
03:05:15.000It's hard to have those long-term plans, that sustained focus over time, that operational and organizational know-how to carry these things out.
03:05:26.000And the corollary: if you fail while pushing those ideas, you hurt the ideas too.
03:05:34.000That's sort of that three-part formula.
03:05:38.000It's great ideas, great speech, but no execution.
03:05:44.000And unfortunately, this is the worst of both worlds because you get everybody to believe in it.
03:05:49.000But if you don't deliver, then people's hopes and dreams die with your failure.
03:05:56.000And they will start to say, well, the tariffs didn't work.
03:06:00.000Well, that policy of restraint didn't work and mass deportations and closed borders.
03:06:16.000This is exactly what they tried to do after Trump's first term.
03:06:22.000Do you remember the whole DeSantis phenomenon?
03:06:24.000The DeSantis phenomenon was literally built on this formula that I'm describing, which is that after Trump left office in 2021, Republicans ditched him.
03:06:38.000And they said, we're all in on DeSantis.
03:07:29.000The only reason that Trump was able to recover is because the Democrats overplayed their hand and persecuted him.
03:07:37.000I genuinely believe that had Trump not been raided at Mar-a-Lago, had he not been indicted in March of 2023, I think it was, and then convicted in the spring of 2024, if that had not happened to Donald Trump, we may be looking at a very different timeline where who knows, maybe DeSantis would have been competitive in that primary.
03:08:05.000I'm not going to say that he would have won.
03:08:08.000I still think that in the end, Trump might have beaten him out for it, but who knows what would have happened?
03:08:12.000Trump really, it's hard to say because he really got saved.
03:08:17.000He really got bailed out by the fact that public opinion turned in favor of him when the Democrats plans backfired.
03:08:26.000They thought they were going to put him in the jumpsuit and get the mug shot and indict him, and they thought that would kill his chances.
03:08:34.000And one thing after the next, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the indictment in New York, the conviction, the assassination attempt, it only made Trump stronger and helped him rebound.
03:08:46.000But they were getting ready, make no mistake about it, they were getting ready to dump Trump because they said, oh, well, we tried it and it didn't work.
03:09:30.000If Trump pushes tariffs, mass deportations, unitary executive, you have to succeed.
03:09:37.000If you don't, all those ideas die with you and you're actually a liability.
03:09:43.000Case in point with the tariffs, if Trump had actually done them effectively by using these other laws, which are time-tested and weren't challenged by the Supreme Court, they'd be working right now.
03:09:56.000They wouldn't be subject to all this uncertainty because of the legal process.
03:10:04.000They wouldn't have been overturned by the Supreme Court.
03:10:07.000And they'd be doing a lot better right now.
03:10:10.000But the way that Trump has gone about it, now that they've been overturned and now there's this $150 billion refund and everything's in chaos, well, people are saying, gee, tariffs are horrible.
03:10:44.000And if you make the case, they're even popular.
03:10:47.000And that is the foundation of this entire movement going back to 2016.
03:10:51.000It's tariffs, foreign policy restraint, and it is nativism.
03:10:56.000Those are the three pillars of Trumpism.
03:10:58.000And if you just give people that, if you just give them that high energy rhetoric, and it's almost like an independent party platform, people will show up for it and they will vote for it and they will get energized.
03:11:48.000And very quickly, because we are running out of time here, I want to get into the situation in Iran.
03:11:54.000And I don't want to spend too much time on this.
03:11:56.000I'm sure we'll be talking about it tomorrow as well.
03:12:00.000There have been some new developments in the ongoing crisis in the Middle East right now.
03:12:07.000And related to the state of the union, many people believed that Trump was going to address the crisis in the Middle East during his speech.
03:12:16.000And there were even rumors that Trump might declare war during the speech, that he might make the case for a war, that maybe he might announce a new ultimatum or a military action for that matter.
03:12:28.000And what is interesting is that Trump really did not touch the issue at all.
03:12:33.000He briefly discussed Iran and simply said that Iran will never be able to acquire a nuclear weapon, which is not really any kind of addition to the conversation.
03:12:46.000Now, the reason this is notable is because tomorrow, actually in a matter of hours, is going to be the third round of talks between the U.S. and Iran in Switzerland.
03:12:56.000We are also coming up on the deadline that Trump set to make a deal.
03:13:30.000And if there is, it's going to have to happen this weekend.
03:13:32.000Otherwise, it looks like we are mobilizing for a very serious military confrontation with Iran.
03:13:39.000There have been some developments on this front.
03:13:42.000The first one being, and this is maybe one of the more pessimistic developments, the Trump administration said in the last round of talks, which was last week, they said that Iran had a window to meet us where we are.
03:14:00.000It's like I said on Monday, this is not really a negotiation.
03:14:04.000These are really more just discussions.
03:14:08.000And the reason I say that is because the United States has made their position very clear, and they have a red line.
03:14:13.000The U.S. position is, we're not going to ask you to give up your missiles.
03:14:17.000We're not going to ask you to give up your proxy network, but you do have to give up your nuclear enrichment.
03:14:25.000You have to have a zero enrichment capacity.
03:14:28.000And that they have not budged on for a very long time.
03:14:34.000And the way that the White House talked about it is they said, you've got about another week to close the gap between your position and our position.
03:14:43.000That doesn't mean we're going to meet in the middle.
03:14:45.000That doesn't mean we're each going to give concessions.
03:14:48.000It means this is an ultimatum, and you are either going to surrender and capitulate to our demands, or we're going to war.
03:14:58.000Are you going to give up or are we going to war?
03:15:01.000And so the administration said on Thursday that Iran had another week.
03:15:05.000There'd be another round of talks, but this is really where we are.
03:15:09.000So the Omani representative said we will deliver Iran's response on Tuesday, which was yesterday.
03:15:18.000And the U.S. has received Iran's response.
03:15:21.000And according to Israeli media, Iran is not budging on enrichment.
03:15:26.000Now, they want to give concessions on their stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
03:15:32.000And they may concede that they will enrich uranium at a low level for a short amount of time.
03:15:38.000But according to all the information we have, Iran's position has not changed since last week.
03:15:45.000The new position they have delivered to the White House is unchanged.
03:15:50.000It's exactly the same, and they have not acceded to the demands of the White House.
03:15:56.000And if that's the case, going into these talks tomorrow, it seems like we're not going to get a deal.
03:16:01.000Now, there's been some other developments.
03:16:04.000The Vice President JD Vance said today in a press conference that the United States believes Iran is working on a nuclear weapon, which is the first that anybody has heard of that.
03:16:17.000Iran has always maintained that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
03:16:21.000And they've also said that we're not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
03:16:24.000The subject of all these negotiations has really just been about enrichment.
03:16:29.000There has not been too much discussion about weapons because Iran has never publicly acknowledged the existence of a weapons program.
03:16:37.000And they don't claim to have a weapons program.
03:16:41.000JD Vance says, well, they are rebuilding their weapons program, and we can't allow that.
03:16:49.000And that's a very bizarre thing to say because, again, the subject of the negotiations is whether or not they can enrich at all for peaceful purposes, for weapons purposes, at 1.5%, at 90%.
03:17:04.000It's actually not even a matter of contention.
03:17:08.000They have no desire to build the bomb.
03:17:10.000Now, whether that is true and whether we believe them is another matter entirely, but that is their public position.
03:17:17.000Later in the day, Marco Rubio came out, Secretary of State, and he said that it would be a big problem if Iran and the U.S. do not discuss missiles tomorrow at the negotiations.
03:17:32.000It says, quote, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran is attempting to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles and that talks on Thursday with Iran will largely be focused around the nuclear program.
03:17:46.000However, Rubio warned that Iran must negotiate on its missile program.
03:17:51.000He said, quote, I would say the Iranian insistence on not discussing ballistic missiles is a big, big problem.
03:18:00.000So once again, it's a very bizarre comment because the entire framework of the negotiations is that we are not going to discuss the missile program.
03:18:10.000The only condition for Iran to even enter these indirect negotiations in the first place is that they are centered on exclusively the nuclear file.
03:18:20.000The Ayatollah has made it very clear this time around, as well as last year, that missiles and proxies are just not even on the table.
03:18:32.000And as a matter of fact, they have said we will not even enter negotiations if that's part of it.
03:18:39.000And so all these talks that they're having, many of the preliminary talks are literally just about this issue, which is which topics will be discussed.
03:18:48.000And they have laid it out over and over and over again.
03:18:50.000The framework for this diplomacy is whether and what issues will be discussed.
03:18:58.000And we have been operating on this basis with Iran, that it's all nuclear.
03:19:03.000The first round of talks in Turkey, or rather, they were moved to Oman.
03:19:08.000The first round of talks in Oman, they said it's only nuclear.
03:19:55.000We think that you're going to be very pleased on Thursday.
03:19:58.000And the day before, Rubio says, yeah, well, if it doesn't have missiles, it's going to be a problem.
03:20:05.000That seems like a really good way to spook the Iranians and either get them to pull out of the talks or at the minimum to scuttle any kind of progress that has been made towards a deal on nuclear.
03:20:17.000If Iran, and again, there's no rumor that this is the case, but even if Iran were willing to meet the U.S. where it is with enrichment, now you throw in the missile issue, which they don't even want to entertain.
03:20:34.000Now, to play devil's advocate, to answer that question, you might imagine a scenario where maybe this is a way to finesse the U.S. position and pursue an off-ramp.
03:24:43.000In other words, that is something they have already agreed to, at least nominally.
03:24:50.000So if all of a sudden the U.S. position has been altered from zero enrichment to promise us you won't get a bomb, you have now changed the position from something Iran will never agree to and they have obstinately refused, which is zero enrichment, to something they have already agreed to, which is that they are not working on a bomb.
03:25:24.000They might be working towards one at some point, although they don't have any.
03:25:30.000But once again, just like with the bomb issue, the distinction, you've got the centrifuges and you've got a bomb.
03:25:37.000Similarly, Iran has thousands of short and medium-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, but it doesn't have anything that can hit the United States, an intercontinental ballistic missile.
03:26:20.000So you take the position from something that Iran will not even consider discussing, which is their existing ballistic missile program, and something that is theoretical, which is what they might do in the future with the technology they have and ICBM that could hit the United States.
03:26:37.000And so is this a way to finesse the U.S. position?
03:26:43.000And let's say tomorrow the agreement is that Iran will never build an ICBM and they'll never build a nuclear bomb, but they're going to keep all their ballistic missiles and they're going to keep their centrifuges, but maybe not use them.
03:28:04.000I think, however, at this point, it is more likely that we will hit Iran.
03:28:10.000I think that just based on the force posture that has been assembled, the amount of air power, sea power, to me, it just seems like an inevitability.
03:28:19.000If we have that much force there, we're going to tend to use it.
03:28:23.000You don't deploy that much force as a symbolic act.
03:28:28.000So if I had to bet, I'm still leaning towards there will be a strike.
03:28:34.000What that will be, I think the calculus now changes.
03:28:38.000But I will say that the chances of a deal might have just gone up, actually, based on the rhetoric from the U.S., because it did change.
03:28:47.000I told you last week, the rhetoric from the White House was very cool.
03:28:51.000They were very cold towards these negotiations, and it was basically a take it or leave it.
03:28:57.000And then what we start hearing from the White House is that the generals are concerned.
03:29:03.000They have these reservations whether a strike will be successful.
03:29:06.000And they say that Trump is surprised the Iranians have not capitulated.
03:29:11.000So you start hearing these doubts from the White House.
03:29:14.000Now you get these positions, which, again, they're sort of a head scratcher, unless they're finessing their own red line.
03:29:33.000They say that if Israel starts the war and they hit Iran really hard, and then Iran attacks Israel and the United States, then it's easier for us to go in and hit Iran and make a case to the people that it's necessary.
03:29:48.000And maybe that is a way that we can symbolically strike them, do some damage, and that's a way to do your pre-strike.
03:29:57.000That's a way to do your small, narrow, limited strike with minimal retaliation to convince them we're serious and maybe extract a deal.
03:30:08.000Maybe that's another way to say, hey, if Israel wants a deal so bad, or rather they want us to intervene, then you start the war and you take your chances with Iran and you can take the brunt of the damage.
03:30:20.000The same political article said that the Pentagon is worried that if we go into Iran, we're going to be stretched very thin in terms of our capabilities.
03:30:30.000And maybe China will be watching this and they will decide to make their move in Taiwan.
03:30:37.000There's only so many Minuteman missiles and Patriot batteries and THAD systems and carriers and F-22s.
03:30:45.000There's only so much of all this stuff to go around.
03:30:48.000And if all of it is in the Middle East to fight Iran, maybe China decides now is the time.
03:30:54.000So you wonder who is leaking this to Politico and what is their end game?
03:32:17.000Not because I want people to die and for there to be a World War III, but it's like, one, I want to be, excuse me, I want to be proven right.
03:34:12.000Someone called the publishing house at Merriam-Webster Dictionary and quickly informed them of two new words recently discovered in the English language whose pronunciations need updating.
03:35:41.000I don't know if she made some transcription error, but somebody bought the same data set that she was using and she literally just had the wrong data.
03:35:51.000The Egyptian military planes were not on the same continent as Charlie Kirk or Erica Kirk's planes.
03:36:00.000And so this was basically just debunked.
03:36:04.000And she came out and said, oh, well, you know, maybe I didn't get everything right, but I'm going to put up this interactive map and I'm going to show exactly the truth.
03:38:53.000And I think, unfortunately, these other people, they are just blowing it.
03:38:58.000They are playing right into Candace's hands because they just fucking blow it every time.
03:39:02.000There's obviously some kind of influenceable campaign or something like that that went out the other day because they all have the same talking point.
03:40:00.000I'm actually, for once, grateful to sit this one out and just eat some popcorn, you know?
03:40:05.000But I will say, she's even making me feel bad for Erica Kirk.
03:40:10.000And I said, I was one of the first people to say, even before Candace, before anybody, I was one of the first people to say, I think Erica and Charlie were in an arranged marriage.
03:41:23.000I think that she's just kind of a spook.
03:41:25.000I think that she comes from like a spook family, to put it mildly.
03:41:30.000You know, her parents are spooked up with the military or something.
03:41:34.000And I think that she is somebody that was set up with Charlie because he was looking for a wife and she was a political opportunist or something like that.
03:41:43.000And I don't doubt that they had a relationship.
03:41:45.000I don't doubt that they came to love each other, but I don't think that it was like, I don't think the story they said was true, where it's like she applied for a job and Charlie was like, oh, hey, you're really cute.
03:42:14.000And I think they probably came to love each other.
03:42:17.000And look, turning point is what it is.
03:42:19.000They make a shit ton of money from very powerful donors.
03:42:24.000And so I think they're a giant political interest organization.
03:42:28.000But to sort of imply that this is some grand thing and it's like, oh, it's a CIA military conspiracy concerning psychics and this esoteric thing.
03:42:41.000And, you know, that's when you lose me.
03:42:44.000That's when I say that's just a little cuckoo for Coco Puffs.
03:45:09.000One thing connecting Jews, Muslims, and immigrants with regard to expectations of Americans, assimilation, scamming welfare, mass Islamic prayer in public, and subverting government is an assimilation.
03:48:48.000Times Square is the center of our great global city, of our empire city.
03:48:54.000And you are taking up space there for no other reason than to make a statement, which is, we are here and we are Muslim and we are here to conquer.
03:53:43.000The call to prayer goes out in the United Kingdom, in the UK, in the land of the conquerors, the Anglo-Saxons of King Edward and Lord Nelson.
03:53:57.000You have the Muslim call to prayer, and they're so fucking dishonest.
03:54:01.000They come here and say, oh, well, John Adams said that America isn't Christian.
03:55:11.000It's always this one struggle, one struggle.
03:55:14.000And then the second, the second they find an opportunity, they want to put the screws in and they want to twist the knife on Christians and they want to criticize the West.
03:55:26.000The West is what gave you everything that you love about America.
03:55:31.000Okay, everything that you, New York was built by the West.
04:01:19.000Last night, I caught myself falling for the base rhetoric parts Trump was saying, especially toward the Democrats, calling them crazy and just talking shit.
04:01:23.000But like you said, it's just a speech.
04:05:36.000Do possess a unique ability to pass down Mount DNA to all offspring.
04:05:38.000Mount DNA is the powerhouse of all cells.
04:05:40.000The why and Mount DNA are the only genetic structures passed down as clones.
04:05:42.000I believe this truth is reflected in society through men's need for fraternity and women's struggle to empathize with men while the inverse comes naturally.
04:05:47.000I'm not a science guy, so that's just going way over my head.
04:08:04.000And women are just like a factory of men.
04:08:07.000And they got to make some more women so they can make more men.
04:08:10.000And we could populate the world with soldiers and workers, workers and soldiers, soldiers and workers, industry and the army working hand in hand to colonize and extract.
04:08:25.000And this is, and this is a picture of the future.
04:08:55.000Just a helpful way to think about things.
04:09:00.000But that sometimes I think about the world that way, and then I realize I shouldn't.
04:09:07.000Sometimes I think about the world in this way.
04:09:09.000And then I realize I shouldn't think about the world this way because women are telling me not to.
04:09:20.000But yeah, I mean, just imagine, just imagine a planet of soldiers and workers organized in a hierarchy, progressing technologically, economically, intellectually, artistically, and culturally.
04:09:43.000You know, that's a vision I can, that's a vision I can get behind.
04:13:14.000The reason I'm talking about Venezuelans is because they made up the bulk of the 10 million that came here under Biden.
04:13:20.000It's always some you guys are always on some weird conspiracy stuff.
04:13:24.000He's saying Venezuelans now, not Mexicans.
04:13:27.000Yeah, and in 2018, we were talking about the Northern Triangle because that's where they were coming from.
04:13:34.000The caravans were coming from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, just like in Biden's term, they were coming from Venezuela.
04:13:42.000I'm talking about a very specific problem.
04:13:46.000So, when I say that, I'm referring to the special categories of people that have formed enclaves like Haitians in Springfield, Somalians in Minneapolis, these Venezuelans that just came over recently.
04:14:06.000It's never enough that you're in favor of an immigration moratorium if you don't say the right thing or perceive to say the right thing in a moment.
04:14:13.000Oh, well, you're covering for Mexicans now.
04:14:16.000No, it's because there were like four million Venezuelans they came in in four years, which is crazy.
04:18:40.000I don't know if you should wear that to school.
04:18:42.000You might get in trouble, but W's in the chat.
04:18:45.000My mom works for NYS and does home inspections for Hasidics that run in home adult care programs that are paid for by the state.
04:18:49.000They hate a woman coming into their home telling them what they need to do to follow the program's rules and keep their homes up to fire code.
04:18:53.000Several of these communities in the greater NYC area.
04:24:01.000Trump promoting the ban on private equity single-family homeownership is pointless since the executive order did not contain the word divest.
