00:01:46.000 Grammy nominated.

00:01:47.000 Hotel accommodated.

00:01:48.000 Cheerleader prom dated.

00:01:49.000 Barbershop player hated.

00:01:51.000 Mom and pop booth lazy.

00:01:52.000 Felt like it rained to the roof caked in.

00:01:55.000 Two words.

00:01:55.000 Goddamn crazy.

00:01:56.000 Crazy.

00:01:57.000 So I live by two words.

00:02:05.000 Cause on Judgment Day...

00:02:25.000 I don't know.

00:03:11.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

00:03:24.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:03:34.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world.

00:03:38.000 And who make a real and lasting difference.

00:03:41.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:03:46.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:03:52.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

00:03:59.000 We must always remember that we share one home.

00:04:03.000 And one glorious destiny.

00:04:06.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:04:11.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

00:04:16.000 Our best days are yet to come.

00:05:04.000 It can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we have people that are stupid.

00:09:23.000 Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump were all cut from the same cloth.

00:09:28.000 And that cloth is very, very large.

00:09:30.000 It's not too big, is it?

00:09:32.000 Hey.

00:09:32.000 Be yourself.

00:09:36.000 It's wrong, isn't it?

00:09:37.000 It feels so right.

00:09:39.000 It's a deal.

00:10:01.000 We're good.

00:10:40.000 You look great.

00:10:41.000 Thank you very much.

00:10:42.000 I'm going back to the restaurant.

00:11:18.000 Everything's set for tonight, Mr. Trump.

00:11:21.000 I wonder what Trump's game is this time.

00:11:24.000 Trump's got a new day, Trump!

00:12:07.000 Listen, this sounds like political presidential talk.

00:12:11.000 You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.

00:12:15.000 I like that.

00:12:16.000 I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.

00:12:22.000 I'd never run into losing in my life.

00:12:25.000 I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.

00:12:34.000 That's the guy on fire, right?

00:12:36.000 Check, please.

00:13:51.000 You can't go back to the past.

00:13:53.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

00:13:54.000 They say, can we really go back?

00:13:56.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right wing or left wing, the answer is no.

00:14:03.000 We're never going back.

00:14:04.000 It's gone.

00:14:05.000 It's gone.

00:14:05.000 All of that is gone.

00:14:07.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.

00:14:12.000 Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.

00:14:17.000 Jesus Christ is our present now, and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on Earth.

00:14:31.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet Earth.

00:14:36.000 We love everybody.

00:14:39.000 And we want people that give birth, really, more than anybody.

00:14:43.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real value of life.

00:14:53.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

00:14:58.000 The mission is to create a Christian,

00:15:02.000 The only way we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian.

00:15:10.000 The only way.

00:15:12.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

00:15:23.000 We have to want it more than they do.

00:15:26.000 Because 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.

00:16:41.000 We're good to go.

00:17:18.000 I don't know.

00:18:02.000 Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice.

00:18:09.000 Whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.

00:18:13.000 Together, we have the same mission.

00:18:17.000 Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair.

00:18:22.000 You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted.

00:18:31.000 But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.

00:18:38.000 Never, ever, ever give up.

00:18:41.000 Don't give in.

00:18:42.000 Don't back down.

00:18:44.000 And never stop doing what you know is right.

00:18:47.000 Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.

00:18:53.000 And the more righteous your fight, the more opposition that you will face.

00:18:59.000 In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.

00:19:05.000 Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

00:19:12.000 America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

00:19:20.000 When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they prayed.

00:19:25.000 When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our Creator four times.

00:19:33.000 Because in America, we don't worship government, we worship God.

00:19:39.000 It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust.

00:19:44.000 And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God.

00:19:50.000 The story of America is the story of an adventure

00:19:55.000 That began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble beginnings.

00:20:04.000 The next generation of American leaders never, ever give up.

00:20:12.000 There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit.

00:20:15.000 Never quit.

00:20:17.000 Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

00:20:22.000 Carry yourself with dignity and pride.

00:20:25.000 Demand the best from yourself.

00:20:29.000 The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.

00:20:40.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:20:50.000 Relish the opportunity to be an outsider.

00:20:52.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:21:04.000 You must keep pushing forward.

00:21:08.000 And always have the courage to be yourself.

00:21:13.000 America is better when people put their faith into action.

00:21:19.000 Pray to God and follow his teachings.

00:21:23.000 Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.

00:21:27.000 When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit.

00:21:38.000 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.

00:21:47.000 You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.

00:21:56.000 As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God,

00:22:05.000 Then you will not fail.

00:22:08.000 As 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.

00:22:58.000 May God bless the United States of America.

00:23:03.000 And I just want to let you know that God blesses you.

00:23:07.000 And I want to just say you are special in every way.

00:23:13.000 God bless you and God bless America.

00:23:15.000 Thank you very much.

00:23:16.000 Thank you.

00:23:26.000 We are going to make our country great again!

00:24:49.000 Yeah.

00:25:47.000 69.

00:25:48.000 Now it's time for new believable people.

00:25:52.000 And we must do it.

00:25:54.000 If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.

00:25:59.000 To lead it by an A. Big, fat, love, find common ground.

00:26:04.000 To halt the spread of lies.

00:26:07.000 And we must do it.

00:26:08.000 Big, fat, love, find common ground.

00:26:12.000 To halt the spread of lies.

00:26:19.000 We're good to go.

00:26:54.000 69 now it's time for new believable people and we must do it if we don't control insiders this will be over and over to lead it by and any big fat love find common ground to halt the spread of lies and we must do it big fat love find common ground to halt the spread of lies and any

00:27:27.000 Love the flow.

00:28:02.000 President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.

00:28:08.000 At real Donald Trump.

00:28:10.000 Well, at real Donald Trump.

00:28:14.000 At least I will go down as a president.

00:28:22.000 Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning.

00:28:25.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

00:28:31.000 We will make America great again!

00:29:10.000 I love this country.

00:29:12.000 It's payback time.

00:29:13.000 We're gonna take our country back from these people.

00:29:19.000 He will never be president.

00:29:21.000 I will move to Spain or somewhere.

00:29:41.000 We will make America great again!

00:29:51.000 I love you!

00:29:52.000 Mr. President-elect.

00:30:47.000 We're good.

00:31:28.000 Of the prettiest dreams.

00:31:30.000 Millions of people trying to get on the scene.

00:31:36.000 And everyone's selling their souls.

00:32:39.000 Felt like it rained to the roof, K-Gang.

00:32:41.000 Two words, shot town crazy.

00:32:43.000 Crazy, so I live by two words.

00:32:45.000 Fuck you, pay me.

00:32:46.000 Pay me, win me.

00:32:47.000 Jesus, save me.

00:32:51.000 Cause on Judgment Day...

00:33:12.000 I don't know.

00:33:57.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

00:34:11.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:34:21.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world.

00:34:25.000 And he'll make a real and lasting difference.

00:34:28.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:34:32.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:34:39.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

00:34:45.000 We must always remember that we share one home.

00:34:49.000 And one glorious destiny.

00:34:53.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:34:58.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

00:35:02.000 Our best days are yet to come.

00:37:59.000 And nobody builds walls better than me, believe me.

00:40:10.000 Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump were all cut from the same cloth.

00:40:15.000 And that cloth is very, very large.

00:40:17.000 It's not too big, is it?

00:40:18.000 It's wrong, isn't it?

00:40:22.000 It feels so right.

00:40:24.000 And it's a deal?

00:40:45.000 I'm serious.

00:41:30.000 No, I'm done with it.

00:42:05.000 Everything's set for tonight, Mr. Trump.

00:42:53.000 Listen, this sounds like political presidential talk.

00:42:57.000 You said, though, that if you did run for president, you'd believe you'd win.

00:43:02.000 I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.

00:43:07.000 I wouldn't go on to lose.

00:43:08.000 I've never gone on to lose in my life.

00:43:11.000 I don't know how your audience feels, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.

00:43:18.000 That's the guy on fire, right?

00:44:37.000 You can't go back to the past.

00:44:39.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

00:44:41.000 They say, can we really go back?

00:44:42.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right what you're left with, the answer is no.

00:44:49.000 We're never going back.

00:44:50.000 It's done.

00:44:51.000 It's gone.

00:44:52.000 All of that is gone.

00:44:53.000 But I would call myself something like the Christian futurist instead.

00:45:24.000 We love everybody.

00:45:29.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in a real helicopter.

00:45:39.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

00:45:44.000 The mission is to create a Christian,

00:45:49.000 The only way we're gonna make this happen is with the fullness of a real question.

00:45:57.000 The only way.

00:45:59.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

00:46:09.000 We have to want it more than they do, because 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.

00:47:28.000 I don't know.

00:48:23.000 We're good.

00:48:48.000 Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice.

00:58:38.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.

00:58:48.000 President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.

00:58:54.000 At real Donald Trump.

00:58:57.000 Well, at real Donald Trump.

00:59:00.000 At least I will go down as a president.

00:59:08.000 Now America is once again at a moment of reckoning.

00:59:11.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

00:59:34.000 We will make America great again.

00:59:39.000 I love this country.

00:59:41.000 It's payback time.

00:59:41.000 We're gonna take our country back from these people.

01:00:04.000 We will never be president.

01:00:06.000 I will move to Spain or somewhere.

01:00:08.000 We're gonna win at so many levels!

01:00:10.000 We're gonna win, win, win!

01:00:15.000 We will make America great again!

01:00:30.000 I love you!

01:00:36.000 Mr. President-elect?

01:01:33.000 We're good.

01:02:13.000 We're good to go.

01:02:31.000 L.A.

01:02:32.000 Monster

01:03:13.000 Fuck you, pay me!

01:03:58.000 I don't know.

01:04:44.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.

01:04:57.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

01:05:08.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world.

01:05:11.000 It'll make a real and lasting difference.

01:05:14.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

01:05:19.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

01:05:25.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

01:05:32.000 We must always remember that we share one home.

01:05:36.000 And one glorious destiny.

01:05:39.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

01:05:44.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

01:05:48.000 Our best days are yet to come.

01:06:37.000 It would be wonderful if you have smart people.

01:06:40.000 But we have people that are stupid.

01:08:46.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.

01:08:53.000 It's going to be only America first.

01:08:58.000 America first.

01:09:02.000 The American people will come first once again.

01:09:29.000 America first!

01:09:30.000 America first!

01:15:24.000 Good evening everybody.

01:15:25.000 You're watching America First.

01:15:27.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

01:15:29.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

01:15:31.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Tuesday.

01:15:36.000 And we have a lot to talk about tonight.

01:15:38.000 Lots to get into.

01:15:39.000 Big show.

01:15:41.000 Huge news tonight out of Iowa and the Middle East.

01:15:47.000 Our featured story will be following up on our coverage of the Iowa Caucus Monday night.

01:15:53.000 Talking a little bit about the results.

01:15:55.000 Landslide victory for Trump.

01:15:58.000 And a huge night, huge night for Trump, huge night for America First.

01:16:02.000 We had over 14,000 live viewers peaked at 14, little over 14,000 live viewers Monday night and our coverage of the Iowa caucus and a big night for Trump.

01:16:16.000 He carried 98 out of 99 counties.

01:16:19.000 Biggest margin of victory ever in the history of the Iowa caucus.

01:16:25.000 And I think the margin was 30%, which is almost twice as much as the previous record.

01:16:32.000 So we'll talk about all the latest out of Iowa.

01:16:35.000 We'll also talk about New Hampshire.

01:16:38.000 And it's actually pretty impressive.

01:16:40.000 There's a new poll out for New Hampshire, the first one since the Iowa caucus on Monday, which shows Trump with 50 points in New Hampshire, Ron DeSantis with only 6.

01:16:52.000 And Nikki Haley, I think she had 30 or 20 there.

01:16:58.000 But either way, she's way behind and New Hampshire's next week.

01:17:02.000 So, we'll talk all about the Iowa caucus.

01:17:05.000 We'll get into all that stuff and what it means for the race and where we are.

01:17:09.000 Honestly, I think, and almost everyone agrees, that after the performance in Iowa, it's done.

01:17:17.000 The primary's done.

01:17:18.000 It's over.

01:17:20.000 And I wish that Trump had done a little bit better.

01:17:24.000 I know a lot of people have been playing up what a huge sweep it was and I think it was a big deal but you have to consider that Trump at one time was the most popular Republican president I mean the most popular president in modern history in general.

01:17:42.000 So for him to have a 90% approval rating within the party but win only half

01:17:49.000 And Iowa's tricky and there's history there.

01:17:53.000 There's some complicating factors there, but I feel like maybe could have done a little better.

01:18:00.000 That's just me.

01:18:02.000 But we'll talk about it.

01:18:04.000 We'll also talk tonight about the latest developments in the war in Gaza.

01:18:09.000 Although, of course, these developments are not happening anywhere near Gaza.

01:18:13.000 They're happening in other theaters in the conflict.

01:18:16.000 Two big stories.

01:18:18.000 One is that the United States has now struck the Houthi movement in Yemen for the third time.

01:18:25.000 They hit the Houthis on Thursday, Friday, and then again yesterday.

01:18:29.000 And Iran is also

01:18:32.000 Now getting involved directly in the conflict, as we know their proxies have been doing most of the fighting.

01:18:41.000 Hezbollah, Popular Immobilization Force, the Houthis.

01:18:45.000 But now Iran is striking directly.

01:18:47.000 They launched three airstrikes yesterday in Pakistan, Iraq, and Syria.

01:18:54.000 And everybody believes that the motivation behind the three strikes was the terrorist attack in Kerman a couple weeks ago.

01:19:04.000 Major terrorist attack at the mausoleum of Qasem Soleimani, which the United States blamed on ISIS militants, specifically ISIS-K in Afghanistan.

01:19:15.000 And so Israel in the... We'll get into all the details because it's a little bit complex, but they apparently struck targets

01:19:23.000 Inside Syria, Iraq, and Pakistan.

01:19:27.000 Specifically, though, they struck ISIS in Syria, they struck Erbil, which is the capital of the Kurdish region of Iraq, in Iraq, and they struck Balochistan inside Pakistan.

01:19:44.000 And the reason this is significant is because Iran is allied with Syria, allied with Iraq, has a tenuous alliance with Pakistan.

01:19:55.000 So Iran isn't hitting these countries, it's hitting these breakaway movements or Islamist radicals inside the countries.

01:20:08.000 Which said another way, all these three groups are supported by Israel.

01:20:14.000 ISIS in Syria was created by and backed by Israel.

01:20:20.000 The Kurds in Iraq, Syria, Turkey are backed by the United States and Israel.

01:20:27.000 And Balochistan, the group there, which I think it's Josh Al-Aden is the group, although I have it on my notes,

01:20:37.000 Balochistan is a secessionist movement inside of both Iran and Pakistan, and the group that Iran struck yesterday, they have accused of being backed by Israel.

01:20:48.000 So it's interesting that there's a little bit of a mirror effect going on.

01:20:52.000 The United States and Israel are attacking the Iranian-backed groups, if you've been paying attention over the last 90 to 100 days.

01:21:01.000 The United States and Israel have struck Hezbollah,

01:21:05.000 I don't know.

01:21:19.000 Is striking ISIS in Syria, backed by Israel.

01:21:22.000 Striking the Kurds in Iraq, backed by Israel.

01:21:26.000 Striking Jashal Aden in Pakistan, backed by Israel.

01:21:30.000 So, Iran is now getting involved directly, and this is just now a full-blown regional conflict, and even drawing Pakistan in.

01:21:39.000 Historically, Pakistan hasn't been too involved.

01:21:43.000 But now they're in it.

01:21:45.000 So we'll talk about all those developments and analyze them a little bit.

01:21:50.000 So it should be a good show.

01:21:52.000 Apologies the show's a little bit late.

01:21:54.000 I know yesterday I said that I would go live about 10 p.m.

01:21:57.000 So we're just just shy of 10 hours past that.

01:22:01.000 Actually closer to 10 a.m.

01:22:03.000 I think at this point.

01:22:05.000 But tomorrow, hey, but tonight for sure.

01:22:09.000 Wednesday night, but seriously, listen.

01:22:12.000 I was gonna go live at 10, but a friend of mine was in town because he was at the Iowa caucus.

01:22:19.000 So I went, I got dinner with a friend of mine who's very involved in politics, and I ate a huge dinner.

01:22:26.000 I ate a lot of pasta and dessert and coffee, and then I went home and I just fell right asleep.

01:22:31.000 I just knocked right out.

01:22:34.000 And sometimes that happens.

01:22:38.000 But there shouldn't be anything like that tonight.

01:22:40.000 Tonight, 10 o'clock for sure.

01:22:43.000 Okay, trust.

01:22:44.000 Trust the plan.

01:22:44.000 It should be safely between 10 and 11 p.m.

01:22:47.000 Central Time.

01:22:49.000 Sometimes these things pop up.

01:22:50.000 I had to go out, had to get a little dinner, and then... I can't help that.

01:22:54.000 I ate all this food and then I just crashed.

01:22:58.000 But trust.

01:22:59.000 Tonight for sure.

01:23:02.000 Before we get into the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification when I go live.

01:23:09.000 It's so important that you follow me because, I mean, I go live really any hour of the day.

01:23:15.000 I've gone live basically every hour.

01:23:18.000 Sometimes I go live in the middle of the night, sometimes it's the evening, sometimes it's the morning.

01:23:24.000 You really never know.

01:23:25.000 So you gotta make sure you follow me on Rumble and Cozy and Telegram, and the link for that is below in the description.

01:23:34.000 Also, remember next week, I think it, I don't know the time, but next week is a New Hampshire primary.

01:23:43.000 So, yesterday, Monday night, we had the coverage of the Iowa Caucus.

01:23:47.000 It was an all-night event.

01:23:49.000 Big viewership.

01:23:50.000 We had a lot of fun.

01:23:51.000 We did Super Chats, watched some old Trump stuff.

01:23:54.000 We did a live election results coverage and analysis.

01:23:59.000 We'll be doing it all over again next Tuesday.

01:24:02.000 This coming Tuesday.

01:24:04.000 So, that's Tuesday the 23rd?

01:24:09.000 is a New Hampshire primary so make sure to tune in early in the evening on Tuesday night because I'll be here very early in the evening.

01:24:19.000 We're going to be doing all night coverage and this is going to be a big one.

01:24:22.000 We're going to get into it tonight.

01:24:25.000 Really all eyes are on New Hampshire after Iowa.

01:24:28.000 This is going to be probably the second most important one.

01:24:33.000 Third most important will be South Carolina which is end of February.

01:24:38.000 I think February 26th.

01:24:41.000 But this is a big one, okay?

01:24:43.000 This one is really for all the marbles here.

01:24:45.000 I mean, Iowa, in my opinion, was pretty definitive.

01:24:49.000 And the polling after Iowa is... it says as much.

01:24:52.000 It says this is open and shut.

01:24:53.000 But, I mean, Hampshire's gonna be a real test.

01:24:56.000 So, Tuesday, tune in very early.

01:24:59.000 I'm thinking like 6 or 7 o'clock Central Time.

01:25:03.000 So make sure to tune in early when you hear about the New Hampshire primary because we'll be here covering it Okay with that.

01:25:12.000 I think that's excuse me.

01:25:14.000 I think that's all of our announcements So we'll dive into the show here and we'll get into the was there anything else.

01:25:23.000 I'm trying to think oh You know what I think I'll cover this tomorrow

01:25:30.000 But, you know, with the Iowa... So, there was something really big I wanted to talk about, but I didn't get a chance to.

01:25:39.000 Of course, last night, Monday night, was the Iowa caucus.

01:25:43.000 And I didn't get a chance to do this, but Bill Ackman, the Jewish billionaire who has been behind this high-pressure campaign against Harvard, which we've covered for months now, he just pledged $1 million to a Democrat presidential candidate named Dean Phillips, who's a Jew,

01:26:03.000 And of course, they're not really holding a real primary on the Democrat side.

01:26:07.000 Joe Biden's the incumbent.

01:26:09.000 That's typically how it works.

01:26:11.000 They're not going to hold a real contest.

01:26:12.000 They have a sitting president running.

01:26:15.000 But nevertheless, Bill Ackman has donated money to this

01:26:19.000 Long shot, never going to win, Democrat presidential candidate who is a Jew.

01:26:26.000 And what's amazing is, of course, Bill Ackman has said that his reason for going after Harvard and these other schools is because of cancel culture and DEI, which is diversity, equity, inclusion, among other things.

01:26:41.000 We know the real reason he's gone after these schools is because they don't support Israel.

01:26:45.000 Rather, they don't support Israel enough.

01:26:48.000 They all support Israel, just not enough, according to prominent Zionist Jews.

01:26:54.000 But he's dressed it up and said, well, I'm not punishing Harvard on behalf of Israel.

01:26:59.000 No, I'm going after Harvard for ideological reasons.

01:27:03.000 Well, wouldn't you know, this Democrat candidate that he backed is like the biggest DEI congressman in Congress.

01:27:12.000 And I think we'll go over this tomorrow.

01:27:14.000 We'll go through all of his voting record in the House, but it's just so perfect.

01:27:20.000 And I've been saying this for a long time.

01:27:24.000 And I say it all the time now.

01:27:29.000 But when it comes to these Jews, you keep digging and there's just more of it.

01:27:34.000 You never stop finding more of it.

01:27:36.000 You never stop finding more of Jews and their ethnic interest being the engine of politics.

01:27:42.000 That's what I mean.

01:27:44.000 You attempt to understand our very complex, very large political system,

01:27:51.000 And you keep finding Jews inside of it and you keep realizing that their ethnic self-interest is what is driving the trends.

01:27:59.000 It's what's driving the big decisions.

01:28:02.000 And maybe it comes as a surprise to a lot of people, but it's the facts.

01:28:08.000 That's where the evidence will always lead you.

01:28:10.000 If you are perceptive, if you're willing to go there, if you're open-minded enough, that is where you will always land.

01:28:18.000 And even if you think it's minimal, it's not.

01:28:21.000 That's why it's always helpful to point out who's Jewish and who supports Israel.

01:28:26.000 Because once you sort of plot all of those people on a map,

01:28:31.000 It starts to paint a picture.

01:28:33.000 You may look at a guy like Jake Tapper and say, Oh, he's Jewish?

01:28:37.000 I didn't know that.

01:28:38.000 Well, but I'm sure that's not a big deal.

01:28:42.000 And you'll find a thousand people like that.

01:28:44.000 And if you hand wave that away and say, Oh, I'm sure that's not a big deal.

01:28:47.000 Oh, I didn't know that, but I'm sure that doesn't really matter.

01:28:51.000 But you take them all together and you start penciling them in where they are and what they're about and what they want and what they say.

01:29:00.000 It paints a picture.

01:29:02.000 And so you zoom in on one dot and you might say, I don't see it.

01:29:06.000 But when you zoom out and when you put all the dots on a map, then you see it.

01:29:12.000 And I heard something today.

01:29:14.000 A friend of mine texted me.

01:29:16.000 I can't, I'm not at liberty to say specifically what it was, but it's one of these Jews that we know is a Jew and we know is like anonymous and kind of quietly supports Israel.

01:29:29.000 And this person said something really shocking to somebody behind the scenes.

01:29:35.000 And maybe that doesn't sound like anything because I'm not giving any details, but maybe at some point this person will come forward and we'll talk about it, but it's amazing that everywhere you look, there they are.

01:29:49.000 There they are!

01:29:51.000 And they have one overriding objective, and that is to protect Israel and their Jewish interests.

01:29:58.000 So, we'll get to the Bill Ackman story probably tomorrow.

01:30:01.000 I was going to cover that last night, but Iowa Caucus, and then tonight.

01:30:06.000 I mean, there's all this stuff going on in Gaza, which we've got to catch up on, and then the results.

01:30:13.000 So, with that out of the way, we'll dive in.

01:30:14.000 We'll cover... I mean, we're really behind.

01:30:16.000 We never covered the Houthi strikes.

01:30:18.000 We didn't cover Bill Ackman.

01:30:20.000 I'll get to that stuff tomorrow.

01:30:22.000 But tonight, our news is about the Iowa Caucus.

01:30:25.000 We'll start with that.

01:30:27.000 So I covered it Monday night.

01:30:29.000 We had a huge stream.

01:30:30.000 I was live for like six hours.

01:30:32.000 We had over 14,000 viewers.

01:30:35.000 And the stream is almost at 200,000 views.

01:30:37.000 So it was a huge stream.

01:30:39.000 And thanks everybody that tuned in.

01:30:41.000 I imagine it was most of you that are watching now.

01:30:44.000 And I'm sure everybody knows at this point that Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus, which is a huge deal.

01:30:50.000 He not only won, but it was a landslide.

01:30:54.000 Certified landslide he won more than 50% of the vote.

01:30:57.000 So that means he got more than everybody else put together and He had a 30 point advantage over the runner-up

01:31:06.000 So Donald Trump placed 1st, Ron DeSantis 2nd, and Nikki Haley trailing him by just 1 or 2% in 3rd, and then Vivek finished in 4th place with 7%.

01:31:21.000 So Donald Trump dominated the field, got more than everybody put together, got 30 points more than the runner-up, and he won!

01:31:28.000 He carried 98 out of 99 counties.

01:31:32.000 And it's actually funny, the one county that he didn't win,

01:31:36.000 He lost by one vote.

01:31:38.000 So he won 98 out of 99, and the one that he didn't win, I think Nikki Haley pulled it out.

01:31:44.000 She won literally by a single vote.

01:31:46.000 One county by one vote.

01:31:49.000 And as many experts have said, this is the biggest blowout ever in the history of the Iowa caucus.

01:31:55.000 I believe they've been doing it since 1976.

01:31:57.000 Around that time.

01:32:01.000 So there's not extremely long history here, but in the 50 years of doing the Iowa caucus, this is the biggest win by any candidate ever, by far.

01:32:12.000 And so that was really the headline of the night.

01:32:16.000 Other big developments, Vivek dropped out of the race after he performed.

01:32:23.000 I don't want to say he underperformed, but everybody was

01:32:28.000 Trying to speak into existence a surprise third place finish for him.

01:32:33.000 I know that he and many other people suggested that maybe the polling

01:32:38.000 was underestimating his support and that he would he would place third or he would get in double digits but he performed about exactly as the polling predicted he got roughly seven percent and based on those results he pulled out of the race last night immediately endorsed Donald Trump and then actually appeared with Trump today at a rally in New Hampshire where he embraced him and

01:33:03.000 Maybe there's a suggestion that he'll be in the Trump cabinet if Trump gets elected.

01:33:07.000 So that was the other big story.

01:33:09.000 And then I would say the other big takeaway is about DeSantis, who finished in second place and he actually outperformed his polling by about four or five points and will remain in the race until New Hampshire.

01:33:22.000 And I actually heard an anonymous source who was on the ground in Iowa that they're not getting out until at least South Carolina or maybe even Super Tuesday.

01:33:33.000 I don't know how reliable that is because he's gonna get killed in New Hampshire, but that's what I heard.

01:33:39.000 And at the minimum he's gonna make it through to next week, which is a pretty big deal.

01:33:44.000 But I'll go over, this is an article, this is from the New York Times, or rather I think this is NPR hitting all the highlights here.

01:33:52.000 It says, quote, Trump cemented his status as a frontrunner of the Republican Party with 51% of the vote.

01:34:00.000 Trump likely received strong support from key voting blocs in the caucus, which would be white evangelicals and very conservative voters.

01:34:08.000 Trump's margin was the largest ever in an Iowa caucus, surpassing the previous record of 12.8 points for Bob Dole in 1988.

01:34:17.000 His win comes despite mounting legal challenges on charges such as conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.

01:34:25.000 Trump garnered at least 20 out of 40 delegates, while his nearest challenger, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, took 8, followed by Nikki Haley at 7.

01:34:36.000 DeSantis received more than 21% of the vote, while Haley finished closely behind him with roughly 21% as well.

01:34:45.000 Vivek Ramaswamy got only approximately 8% of the vote and gained three delegates.

01:34:51.000 Following his underwhelming finish, Ramaswamy announced he was ending his presidential campaign and endorsed his rival Trump, who he had previously called the best president of this century.

01:35:02.000 This year's Iowa caucus is said to have been the coldest on record amid low temperatures and winter storms.

01:35:07.000 Edison Research estimated a turnout at 115,000 on Monday night, down from nearly 190,000 in 2016.

01:35:11.000 And it was also lower than the 121,000 who showed up in 2012 and 119,000 in 2008.

01:35:25.000 So, aside from the placement of the candidates, the turnout was another big story.

01:35:31.000 It's the lowest it's been in this century.

01:35:34.000 And a lot of that you can chalk up to the bad weather.

01:35:37.000 It's like 20 below zero in Iowa.

01:35:41.000 It's like, it's been 30 below zero in Chicago with the wind chills, so...

01:35:46.000 It's been extremely cold.

01:35:48.000 People say it's cold.

01:35:49.000 I don't think they realize it's like painfully cold.

01:35:53.000 So maybe that's a reason for the depressed turnout.

01:35:56.000 It was also a smaller field and I would say that there is some semblance of an effect that Trump is effectively an incumbent.

01:36:05.000 He's not, but since he is a former president in a very unusual field,

01:36:12.000 He's being treated like one and so maybe that's why the turnout wasn't as high.

01:36:16.000 It's not like this is a truly open primary.

01:36:20.000 Trump is coming in with an extremely strong advantage and so that combined with the weather and a smaller field compared to 2008, 12, 16, maybe that's why the turnout was lower.

01:36:33.000 Although some people are saying that's a sign that there's maybe a shortage of enthusiasm.

01:36:40.000 And I don't know how much I buy into that.

01:36:42.000 Over the years, they've always tried to make this case that the bigger the turnout in the primary, the bigger the turnout will be in the general.

01:36:51.000 I don't know if there is a clear connection that has been established there historically.

01:36:58.000 It's an interesting indicator.

01:37:00.000 It's one variable among many other things, so it's something that we can take note of, but I don't know that that's anything definitive.

01:37:09.000 The big story tonight to me is not really about the turnout, it's about the placement.

01:37:14.000 And the race started out a little bit bigger, although all the oxygen in the room has been sucked out basically by Trump ever since the raid in Mar-a-Lago, and then really when the charges came down in Manhattan.

01:37:29.000 I would say that the Republican primary might have been competitive at one point in time, although we can't really know for sure.

01:37:39.000 And I would say it like this.

01:37:42.000 In 2022, there seemed to be more of an appetite for a non-Trump candidate to run in this primary, and maybe even to win.

01:37:53.000 There was a lot of generic polling that suggested that maybe there would be more support for a generic Republican than for Trump.

01:38:01.000 And when Ron DeSantis won in the midterms in 2022, he carried the state of Florida by over 20 points.

01:38:08.000 He carried Miami-Dade, which is a very liberal city.

01:38:11.000 And maybe that was when consideration for a non-Trump candidate was at an all-time high.

01:38:18.000 Consideration, curiosity, appetite.

01:38:22.000 Maybe that was the high watermark of this idea that the Republican constituency wanted someone other than Trump.

01:38:35.000 If that would have lasted into 2024 is an open-ended question.

01:38:42.000 But as it happened in reality is that the raid at Mar-a-Lago in August of 2022 and then the subsequent charges filed against Trump in Manhattan in early 2023 basically eliminated any chance for any other candidate.

01:38:59.000 After the raid in Mar-a-Lago, I think that was the first indication that there would be this circling wagon effect because there was a huge rally for Trump around that time.

01:39:12.000 Voters rallied around him and he surged in the polling several months before the midterms.

01:39:18.000 And then once those charges were filed in Manhattan in early 2023, after the midterms and before DeSantis announced,

01:39:27.000 It seemed that the race completely changed and support for Trump skyrocketed.

01:39:32.000 And the reason I say it this way is because I don't know to what extent the charges are what did it.

01:39:40.000 Or was it just...

01:39:42.000 The race really getting started.

01:39:45.000 Because there's really two explanations.

01:39:46.000 And one explanation is that Trump getting charged has created enormous sympathy and enormous enthusiasm for him.

01:39:55.000 People want revenge.

01:39:56.000 People feel that they have been treated unjustly, vicariously through Trump.

01:40:03.000 And so there's this rallying around the flag effect that Trump has been attacked, he's under siege, so the voters are circling the wagons and they're supporting him because he has been made the subject of the election.

01:40:17.000 Because whoever wins will have the power to pardon or jail him.

01:40:21.000 So that's one theory.

01:40:22.000 The other theory is that maybe a non-Trump candidate would never have a chance.

01:40:28.000 And that it was the race actually starting that forced people to support Trump.

01:40:34.000 Maybe once they saw what they really had, maybe they liked the idea of having a choice,

01:40:41.000 But once they saw who the choices were, which was DeSantis, and once they saw what the stakes were in the election, they went back home to where they always would have been regardless of whether there were charges or not.

01:40:54.000 It's hard to say because we don't have, you know, we have no way of knowing what would have happened if there were no charges, but...

01:41:01.000 Regardless, that is what happened.

01:41:04.000 And so, anyway, around about that time, we knew, I think, that Trump would be the nominee.

01:41:10.000 That's when the polling completely took off, when the gap between Trump and DeSantis just exploded.

01:41:18.000 And so, we knew going into Iowa that Trump would win.

01:41:20.000 Trump was polling at more than 50% in the average, in every poll, consistently.

01:41:26.000 So, there's really no surprises.

01:41:28.000 Trump has this dominant commanding lead.

01:41:31.000 I would say in terms of surprises, DeSantis had a little bit of a better showing because the thing is, going into Iowa, everybody thought DeSantis was basically done.

01:41:44.000 He had spent over $200 million, which is kind of ridiculous to think about.

01:41:50.000 Donald Trump won, or rather, I think he spent something like $70 million at this point in time?

01:41:57.000 Maybe a little bit more?

01:42:00.000 In 2016.

01:42:01.000 Ron DeSantis has spent over 200, I think 250 million dollars.

01:42:07.000 And almost all of it in Iowa.

01:42:09.000 He's put a little money in South Carolina.

01:42:11.000 He's put a little money in Texas.

01:42:13.000 A little money in New Hampshire and other places.

01:42:15.000 But he's poured most of the money in Iowa.

01:42:19.000 And we were going into this thinking that he would not even finish in second place.

01:42:24.000 And you have to consider that at one point in time, he was trailing Donald Trump nationally by 10 or 15 points.

01:42:31.000 Some were saying months ago that he would beat Trump in Iowa.

01:42:37.000 He lost by 30 points.

01:42:39.000 He barely got second place.

01:42:41.000 But there was a time not too long ago when his supporters were saying he might actually beat Trump.

01:42:48.000 And he was fighting for his life for second after spending a quarter of a billion dollars in the state.

01:42:55.000 And he toured all the counties.

01:42:57.000 He did the full 99 county tour.

01:43:00.000 He did all these events.

01:43:01.000 Like I said, spent a fortune.

01:43:03.000 And that's where he put most of his resources.

01:43:06.000 So not only did he spend a fortune, but he spent almost all of his fortune in that one state.

01:43:11.000 And that's the state that's the most favorable to him.

01:43:15.000 Even more so than Florida.

01:43:16.000 He was polling better in Iowa than in Florida or any of the other early states.

01:43:22.000 I think maybe Florida he was polling a little bit better.

01:43:25.000 But this was probably the state where he could have had the strongest impact because this is his constituency.

01:43:32.000 It's very conservative voters, it's evangelicals, it's people that are supposed to eat up

01:43:39.000 His pitch to the Republican voters, which is that he's going to get the job done and be a culture warrior even more so than Trump.

01:43:47.000 Because that is the pitch.

01:43:50.000 What is he going to sell to a Republican base that is in love with Trump?

01:43:56.000 It's that he's slightly more conservative than Trump, and he's going to get it done better than Trump.

01:44:02.000 And so there's maybe nowhere else in the country where he's got a better chance, considering that Trump didn't even win the Iowa caucus in 2016.

01:44:13.000 So this was really make or break for him.

01:44:16.000 And for all the aforementioned reasons, favorable constituency, had very good polling at one point, spent all his money here, toured the entire state, and he was fighting for his life to come in second.

01:44:30.000 And what's funny is that the surprise is that he didn't absolutely get crushed.

01:44:37.000 His supporters are saying it is such a victory that they outperformed their polling by about 4 points.

01:44:44.000 The polling had him at 16, he won 20.

01:44:47.000 So they say that's the big victory.

01:44:49.000 He only lost by 30, instead of 35.

01:44:53.000 And the state where he spent all the money.

01:44:55.000 And they're saying, well at least he came in second.

01:44:58.000 Fighting for his life to beat somebody that up until four months ago was not even competitive.

01:45:05.000 And he barely beat her by a percentage.

01:45:08.000 By 1%.

01:45:10.000 So his camp is saying, well, what a win.

01:45:13.000 We outperformed our polling by 4.

01:45:15.000 We lost only by 30.

01:45:18.000 And we barely beat somebody that spent less than half as much money and wasn't even competitive by a percentage point.

01:45:26.000 That's what they're saying.

01:45:28.000 And here's the thing.

01:45:30.000 So he came in second place in Iowa.

01:45:33.000 In New Hampshire, the poll that came out today

01:45:37.000 There was a new poll for New Hampshire that was just published, I think this morning or yesterday, has him at 6.

01:45:46.000 Okay?

01:45:48.000 6% for New Hampshire.

01:45:50.000 In Nevada, they're saying that Trump is leading by 60.

01:45:55.000 Trump doesn't have 60.

01:45:57.000 He's leading by 60 in Nevada, which is the state after New Hampshire.

01:46:02.000 And then in South Carolina, DeSantis is in third place.

01:46:05.000 I think with like 10.

01:46:08.000 Those are the first four states.

01:46:10.000 And then you have Idaho and Michigan where he's not he's not doing better there.

01:46:15.000 And then you have Super Tuesday in March where I believe Florida's voting and he's not even winning his home state.

01:46:25.000 So at a certain point you have to ask yourself, how does this guy or anybody win the race?

01:46:31.000 If he's not going to win Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, Michigan, Idaho, or any state on Super Tuesday, I mean literally won't carry a single one,

01:46:43.000 How's he going to win?

01:46:45.000 Because by Super Tuesday, it's something like 1,100 out of the 2,300 delegates will have been allocated.

01:46:52.000 And he's not going to win a majority of any of them.

01:46:55.000 And he's not going to win a majority of them in any of the other states.

01:47:00.000 It's done.

01:47:00.000 If he couldn't win Iowa, and if he's not going to win the next six, and if he won't win any of them on Super Tuesday, he's not going to win anything.

01:47:10.000 As far as Nikki Haley is concerned, she had a surprisingly good showing because at one time her polling was at 3, 2, 3, 4 percent in Iowa, so she got 20 percent of the vote.

01:47:23.000 And she wasn't expecting to do well because she's not that conservative.

01:47:28.000 She's not conservative.

01:47:29.000 She's not very Christian.

01:47:31.000 The Trump base doesn't like her.

01:47:34.000 She's playing for New Hampshire where she's got 30 percent.

01:47:38.000 So she performed surprisingly well, but she didn't win.

01:47:42.000 Her plan is to do well in New Hampshire.

01:47:44.000 She wants to consolidate support from Chris Christie, who actually had 10 in New Hampshire.

01:47:49.000 And she thinks that if she has a strong second-place finish, if she's within striking distance of Trump in New Hampshire, she thinks that will propel her into a better finish in South Carolina.

01:48:01.000 But from there, I don't know where she goes because she's not going to win South Carolina either.

01:48:06.000 They don't even like her in South Carolina.

01:48:08.000 That's her home state, if you don't know that.

01:48:12.000 So, New Hampshire is one of the most liberal states out of the early primary states.

01:48:17.000 That's the only state where she really has a chance to even do well.

01:48:22.000 And then South Carolina, which is her home state and very symbolic for that reason, they hate her there.

01:48:29.000 She's doing better in New Hampshire than her home state, which comes later.

01:48:33.000 So it's the same question.

01:48:34.000 If she can't win Iowa, if she can't even beat DeSantis in Iowa, if she can't win New Hampshire, she can't even get within single digits of Trump in New Hampshire, if she's going to have the same problem in South Carolina, her home state, if she's not polling well in any of the Super Tuesday states,

01:48:52.000 Again, where are the delegates going to come from?

01:48:57.000 And, you know, there's this idea, I don't know, that maybe Haley and DeSantis will consolidate their support at the convention, and I don't ever believe in any of that hokey stuff, but even if they did, Trump is going to get more than half the delegates in literally every state.

01:49:16.000 So even if all the candidates running against him put all their delegates together and even if they all dropped out in support of one person tomorrow, that person still would lose.

01:49:26.000 Like 60-40 or 70-30 in every single state.

01:49:30.000 So it's done.

01:49:31.000 I mean, the primary is basically over.

01:49:35.000 It seems.

01:49:37.000 What happens next is they go to New Hampshire, where again, Haley is polling at about 30, DeSantis is at 6, and Trump is at 50.

01:49:47.000 So it's going to be a repeat.

01:49:49.000 A little support is going to shift from DeSantis to Haley, but it's going to be a repeat of Iowa.

01:49:53.000 Trump is going to totally dominate in New Hampshire.

01:49:57.000 And at that point, I don't know if DeSantis drops out.

01:50:01.000 Does he go on to Nevada?

01:50:03.000 Because here's the schedule for DeSantis.

01:50:05.000 He's going to come in third in New Hampshire.

01:50:07.000 He may not even get double digits.

01:50:09.000 The same thing will happen in Nevada.

01:50:11.000 He may get second in Nevada, but he's going to get nothing.

01:50:16.000 And then he's going to come third in South Carolina.

01:50:19.000 And then he's going to lose his home state.

01:50:22.000 So where do you go from there?

01:50:23.000 He's a quarter of a billion dollars in and I mean he's not even gonna come close to winning a single race.

01:50:30.000 And I don't think there's any pathway after that.

01:50:32.000 So I think there's a good chance that he maybe drops out after New Hampshire.

01:50:36.000 Maybe he's stubborn and hangs on until South Carolina or Super Tuesday.

01:50:40.000 I don't see how he hangs on after that.

01:50:43.000 And so what that tells us is that this whole thing is basically over by March.

01:50:48.000 It does not really go on much longer than that.

01:50:51.000 They were supposed to have a debate in New Hampshire.

01:50:53.000 It got canceled.

01:50:56.000 And so, this thing is done.

01:50:58.000 Trump's the nominee.

01:51:01.000 So, I mean, we'll cover New Hampshire.

01:51:04.000 Presumably, we'll be covering Nevada.

01:51:07.000 And South Carolina, assuming Haley at least stays in the race, and maybe there'll be a surprise in the meantime.

01:51:12.000 We'll have to look at the polling.

01:51:13.000 I'm sure there'll be some more polls that'll come out for New Hampshire and South Carolina in the next few weeks.

01:51:21.000 But, it's a done deal.

01:51:24.000 Trump is gonna win.

01:51:26.000 So, huge victory for him.

01:51:28.000 It's great news.

01:51:29.000 And here's the thing, I want to say one other thing about Trump, you know,

01:51:33.000 We've been going very hard on Israel for the past year, past year and a half.

01:51:39.000 And a lot of people point out the obvious, which is that Donald Trump is a huge supporter of Israel.

01:51:45.000 And a lot of people say, well, why do you support Trump?

01:51:48.000 You are harshly critical of Israel, but you are hugely supportive of Trump and Trump likes Israel and supports Israel.

01:51:57.000 So how do you square that?

01:51:58.000 And I actually talked to Jake Shields about this the other day.

01:52:01.000 He was texting me saying, you know, what do you make of that?

01:52:04.000 And other people too, even Lucas Gage asked me on something some time ago about the same question.

01:52:12.000 And I think he asked a friend of mine on a Twitter space about it too.

01:52:16.000 And here's what I always say about Trump.

01:52:20.000 One, and this is point number one, which is maybe the easiest, you know, we could get into some complex stuff, but I'll just say this to begin with.

01:52:28.000 The Israel lobby backed everybody else this year.

01:52:33.000 Ron DeSantis, before he announced in May of last year, flew to Israel and had dinner with Miriam Adelson.

01:52:41.000 And if you don't know, Miriam Adelson is the widow of Sheldon Adelson, who is one of the single biggest donors in the history of American politics.

01:52:50.000 He gave something like half of a trillion dollars, okay?

01:52:55.000 Half of a trillion dollars to the GOP in the last 15 years.

01:53:01.000 From 2010 onward he spent hundreds of billions of dollars every cycle to reshape the GOP into a pro-Israel party.

01:53:12.000 That's why so much of the GOP is like crazy pro-Israel in the last 15 years because there is this glut of money.

01:53:22.000 Sheldon Adelson made his money in casino gambling in Macau and other places so there's a Chinese connection there as well.

01:53:28.000 He's from like Massachusetts.

01:53:31.000 And there was a big... He died, I think, one or two years ago.

01:53:35.000 Time Magazine did a huge profile on him when he died.

01:53:38.000 Everybody should go and read it.

01:53:40.000 And it talked about how he was a single-issue voter.

01:53:43.000 He lived and died for Israel.

01:53:45.000 When he died, they shipped his body to Israel on a private jet, and his body was greeted on the tarmac by the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and he was buried in Israel.

01:54:00.000 And so that's what he was about.

01:54:03.000 He spent $100 billion in 2016 for the Republicans.

01:54:07.000 He spent $100 billion in 2018.

01:54:10.000 He spent $100 billion in 2020.

01:54:13.000 Okay?

01:54:13.000 This is a single-issue voter.

01:54:16.000 Or, I'm sorry, $100 billion.

01:54:18.000 $100 million.

01:54:19.000 I'm dang... Okay.

01:54:21.000 It's early in the morning, okay?

01:54:23.000 He spent...

01:54:25.000 $100,000,000 and it was a half of a billion dollars of the past.

01:54:30.000 Not half a trillion, half a billion.

01:54:33.000 When I was saying that I was like, that can't be quite right.

01:54:35.000 Half of a billion dollars over the last 10 years.

01:54:38.000 $100,000,000 in 16, 18, 20.

01:54:38.000 $100,000,000 and not $100,000,000,000.

01:54:39.000 That would be crazy.

01:54:48.000 That doesn't even make any sense.

01:54:51.000 $100,000,000 in every cycle.

01:54:52.000 That's a bad mistake, but you get the point.

01:54:54.000 It's a lot of money at that point, but it does matter.

01:54:58.000 He spent $100,000,000 in 2016, $100,000,000 in 2018, $100,000,000 in 2020.

01:54:59.000 This is Sheldon Adelson.

01:55:06.000 Since he died, his wife Miriam Adelson has managed his estate, and she continues the giving.

01:55:11.000 And understand that when we talk about the Israel lobby, Adelson is a huge part of it.

01:55:17.000 Monumental part of the Israel lobby.

01:55:19.000 And he initially didn't support Trump, but he wound up giving money to Trump in 2016, and to the Republicans in 2018, and to Trump again in 2020.

01:55:30.000 But last year,

01:55:32.000 Ron DeSantis flew to Israel.

01:55:34.000 He did a three-city trip before he announced.

01:55:38.000 He visited Israel, London, and South Korea.

01:55:41.000 And when in Israel, guess who he had dinner with?

01:55:44.000 Miriam Adelson, as well as two other big Zionist Jewish donors.

01:55:49.000 And so when you look at

01:55:52.000 This interregnum period between Trump 2020 and Trump 2024, basically the entire GOP establishment was looking to overthrow Trump.

01:56:04.000 In 2020 they had to support him because he was the incumbent.

01:56:07.000 There was no primary.

01:56:09.000 And they had to support him because he was going to cut taxes and he was going to support Israel, more so than Biden.

01:56:17.000 So they reluctantly supported him in 2016, although some didn't.

01:56:22.000 They basically universally supported him in 2020, reluctantly.

01:56:26.000 But when he left office, they immediately flipped.

01:56:30.000 And so Wall Street, led by Ken Griffin, threw their support behind DeSantis, publicly.

01:56:35.000 They went and talked to the press and said, we're gonna support DeSantis, Trump is too controversial, Wall Street's behind DeSantis, and so did the Israel lobby.

01:56:45.000 And when they thought DeSantis was going to be the guy to challenge Trump, they were giving him all the money.

01:56:51.000 When it was clear that DeSantis was not performing well, he was actually just crashing in the polls, they all flipped their support to Haley.

01:56:59.000 And so now the Israel lobby and Ken Griffin and Wall Street is behind Haley.

01:57:05.000 So that's number one.

01:57:06.000 People say, you know, how do you support Trump when he supports Israel?

01:57:11.000 Well, take a look at the money.

01:57:13.000 Because the Israel lobby supports DeSantis and Haley.

01:57:18.000 Point number two, take a look at the rhetoric.

01:57:21.000 When Donald Trump is asked about Israel, specifically during the Gaza War, what did he say?

01:57:29.000 He said Hezbollah is smart and he said that Netanyahu is a traitor and didn't protect their people.

01:57:37.000 That's not how an Israel shill talks.

01:57:40.000 When he was asked in 2016 what he would do about Israel-Palestine, he said he would make a deal that works for both countries.

01:57:47.000 At his first press conference with a foreign head of state when he was elected in January or February 2017,

01:57:56.000 He had his first joint press conference with Netanyahu.

01:58:00.000 And what did he say?

01:58:01.000 He turned to Netanyahu and looked at him and pointed and said, you need to take it easy on those settlements in the West Bank.

01:58:10.000 The second thing that he did, maybe not the second thing, but among the first things that he did in 2017, in April, he ended America's support for regime change in Syria.

01:58:21.000 Because between 2011 and 2017, the Obama administration supported overthrowing Assad in the Syrian Civil War.

01:58:31.000 Of course, that was completely consistent with Israel's long-standing objective of destabilizing Syria.

01:58:37.000 They wanted to first overthrow Saddam, and then they wanted to destabilize Syria.

01:58:42.000 So, they overthrew Saddam in 2003.

01:58:45.000 In 2011, Obama began the withdrawal.

01:58:49.000 And then the Syrian Civil War started, and we began to intervene, along with Turkey and Saudi Arabia and others, to support a moderate opposition, the Kurds, ISIS.

01:59:00.000 And one of the first things Trump did in April 17 was to, and this was when Tillerson was Secretary of State, Nikki Haley actually was the UN Ambassador, they ended the policy of regime change and said that they would prioritize defeating ISIS, which they did in several months.

01:59:20.000 So when you look at the rhetoric, the rhetoric of Trump is not the rhetoric of somebody that is completely in the pocket of Israel.

01:59:30.000 Listen to Nikki Haley if you want to understand what someone who is in the pocket of Israel sounds like.

01:59:35.000 When she gets asked about Israel and Gaza, she doesn't say Hezbollah is smart and Netanyahu didn't protect Israel.

01:59:42.000 She says, we need to do three things.

01:59:45.000 We need to give Israel what it wants, when it wants it, no questions asked.

01:59:51.000 Israel doesn't need America.

01:59:53.000 America needs Israel.

01:59:54.000 That's what someone who's in the pocket of Israel says.

01:59:59.000 And maybe you think the distinction is subtle, but it's really not.

02:00:04.000 And then thirdly, I would say the foreign policy in general.

02:00:08.000 Say what you want about Trump and his support for Israel, let's break it down by what he actually did.

02:00:17.000 What were the big concessions that Trump granted to Israel?

02:00:21.000 One, he moved the U.S.

02:00:22.000 Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which is really not a big deal.

02:00:29.000 Want to know why?

02:00:30.000 Because we already have a consulate in Jerusalem.

02:00:33.000 And that is the capital of Israel.

02:00:36.000 So, you know, I mean we can say that that was something, but I mean really that's a formal move.

02:00:45.000 It's not substantial.

02:00:47.000 Because you can say, well, you know, Jerusalem's contested and East Jerusalem's contested.

02:00:53.000 That's true.

02:00:55.000 But America already has diplomatic buildings in Jerusalem.

02:00:58.000 We conduct business in Jerusalem.

02:01:01.000 And, by the way, the United States has said we have promised that we would recognize Israel, or rather Jerusalem, as the capital of Israel for 50 years.

02:01:11.000 Every president promises to do it.

02:01:13.000 Every president, they have to do it by law.

02:01:17.000 But every president signs a memorandum every six months to defer that.

02:01:22.000 That's what every president has done, I think, since the 67 war.

02:01:27.000 There's a legal obligation that we have to move the embassy but every six months the president signs a waiver that says we're going to defer that until later.

02:01:36.000 Every president does it.

02:01:38.000 So this is something that was basically a legal and a political reality and Trump just did it.

02:01:43.000 And so this was something that was a change in name only.

02:01:46.000 It's like they just put embassy on the title of the building in Jerusalem.

02:01:50.000 And I'm not trying to downplay it.

02:01:52.000 All I'm saying is

02:01:54.000 George W. Bush invaded Iraq.

02:01:57.000 Trump moved the embassy.

02:01:58.000 Like, let's put things in perspective.

02:02:00.000 That's one.

02:02:01.000 What else did he do for Israel?

02:02:03.000 He recognized the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group.

02:02:08.000 Okay, so what?

02:02:10.000 The State Department terror list is not... I mean, that doesn't really mean anything at all.

02:02:18.000 Iran was already under a sanctions regime.

02:02:20.000 We call the IRGC terrorists Big Whip.

02:02:24.000 These groups get taken... put on and taken off all the time.

02:02:27.000 Now they're gonna put the Houthis on a terror watch list tomorrow.

02:02:32.000 Whoa!

02:02:32.000 Like, we're bombing them!

02:02:33.000 We're bombing them right now.

02:02:34.000 We've been bombing them for seven years.

02:02:37.000 We bombed them with Saudi Arabia for seven years, between 2015 and 2022, and I think Trump took them off to make a ceasefire deal with them and Saudi Arabia.

02:02:46.000 We're putting them back on.

02:02:49.000 We called the Uyghur Muslims terrorists until 2020, when we decided we're going to war with China.

02:02:55.000 Before that, the East Turkestan revolutionaries were terrorists, according to the State Department.

02:03:01.000 Now they're not.

02:03:02.000 Okay, so what?

02:03:04.000 What else did Trump do?

02:03:06.000 He recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

02:03:09.000 Again, big whiff.

02:03:10.000 They have had sovereignty over the Golan.

02:03:13.000 It's disputed by Syria.

02:03:15.000 But you know what?

02:03:16.000 Like 20% of Syria's territory is disputed right now.

02:03:20.000 They're in the middle of a civil war.

02:03:21.000 They're a failed state.

02:03:24.000 Now, would I do these things?

02:03:26.000 I wouldn't.

02:03:28.000 But when we talk about the Trump relationship with Israel, we have to talk specifically

02:03:35.000 About that relationship.

02:03:36.000 We have to get into the details.

02:03:38.000 And when you look at the money, the rhetoric, the policy, what this tells us is that Trump seems to have a provisional, contingent relationship with the Israel lobby.

02:03:50.000 Which is that the Israel lobby is a political reality on the Republican side.

02:03:56.000 They provide huge money.

02:03:59.000 And it seems like it's almost a necessity that

02:04:03.000 The President isn't opposed to the Israel Lobby.

02:04:07.000 And I would say that Trump's relationship with the Israel Lobby is the same kind of tenuous, provisional relationship that he has with all the other donors.

02:04:14.000 Which is, it's a deal.

02:04:16.000 He's not a puppet.

02:04:18.000 It's a trade.

02:04:19.000 He got $100 million in 2016.

02:04:20.000 He got $100 million in 2018.

02:04:22.000 He got $100 million in 2020.

02:04:24.000 And in exchange, all he had to do to keep Israel happy was a lot of formal stuff.

02:04:30.000 We're gonna say Golan is Israel's.

02:04:32.000 We're gonna say Jerusalem's the capital.

02:04:33.000 We're gonna say the IRGC are terrorists.

02:04:37.000 What else did he really do?

02:04:38.000 Abraham Accords?

02:04:40.000 But all those states had already normalized ties.

02:04:44.000 What did he have to do to get the Gulf states to agree?

02:04:49.000 Bahrain?

02:04:53.000 And who else was a part of it?

02:04:55.000 Emirates?

02:04:57.000 What did he have to do to get Morocco and Sudan to agree?

02:05:01.000 Nothing really all that material.

02:05:05.000 And you compare that to a real president who's in the pocket of Israel.

02:05:09.000 George W. Bush went to war in Iraq.

02:05:11.000 Okay?

02:05:13.000 War in Iraq.

02:05:14.000 War in Afghanistan.

02:05:15.000 What did Obama do?

02:05:16.000 Bomb Pakistan.

02:05:18.000 Overthrew Gaddafi.

02:05:20.000 Attempted to overthrow Assad.

02:05:23.000 Bombed Yemen.

02:05:25.000 And Trump, what is the legacy of Trump?

02:05:29.000 Trump negotiated the Abraham Accords, Trump allowed Assad to remain in power, defeated ISIS, initiated the withdrawal from Iraq, initiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan, initiated the withdrawal from Syria.

02:05:42.000 So to me, I think that's an acceptable policy.

02:05:47.000 So that's how I, you know, everybody always likes to say, well you're an anti-Semite, well how do you support Trump?

02:05:52.000 And they think that's like checkmate.

02:05:54.000 And if you're an idiot, it's a checkmate.

02:05:58.000 You know, because nominally, there might seem to be a contradiction, but when you look at it closely, it's not there.

02:06:08.000 So...

02:06:10.000 If he had went to war with Iran, that would be a different story.

02:06:14.000 If he had completed the overthrow of Assad, it would be a different story.

02:06:21.000 But, none of that happened.

02:06:23.000 Actually, the opposite happened.

02:06:25.000 He wanted the troops out.

02:06:27.000 Israel does not want the troops out.

02:06:29.000 Israel wants American troops in Iraq and Syria being bombed by Iran.

02:06:34.000 That's why we're there right now.

02:06:36.000 So we can be bombed by Iran, so that Israel can push us into a war with Iran.

02:06:42.000 And Trump was trying to end that arrangement.

02:06:45.000 So that's my position on that whole idea, that story.

02:06:51.000 But I want to move on.

02:06:51.000 I want to get into our other story, and we'll keep this one short because we're running out of time here a little bit.

02:06:57.000 But the other big story from the past couple days is this war in Gaza.

02:07:01.000 Maybe we'll talk a little bit more about it tomorrow.

02:07:04.000 But the two big stories out of the war in Gaza, it's actually more fitting to say it's like a regional war now.

02:07:10.000 Because of course, the fighting is no longer contained just in Gaza.

02:07:16.000 It's happening on seven, now eight fronts.

02:07:19.000 There is fighting happening in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, now Pakistan.

02:07:30.000 Arguably even Egypt because there was a story, and I don't know if this is confirmed, that there was some assault on Israel from the border crossing with Egypt.

02:07:39.000 So maybe even Egypt.

02:07:40.000 So that's nine fronts.

02:07:42.000 Ten if you include the West, which is arguably part of it.

02:07:46.000 So this is a full-blown regional war.

02:07:48.000 Everybody's involved.

02:07:51.000 And the war has actually just turned 100 days old.

02:07:54.000 Netanyahu gave a big speech a couple days ago because it's the 100th day of fighting since October 7th.

02:08:01.000 So we're 100 days in.

02:08:02.000 This war has consumed the entire Middle East.

02:08:05.000 It's escalating on every front.

02:08:07.000 What happened last week is that the United States began bombing the Houthis.

02:08:11.000 So we'll talk about that first.

02:08:13.000 And just briefly to go over the

02:08:16.000 Developments from last week as you know the Houthi movement, which is a Shiite group and they basically control Yemen Everybody talks about them like they're comparable to Hezbollah and in a certain sense they are

02:08:31.000 But they do control Yemen.

02:08:33.000 They control the capital, Sanaa.

02:08:35.000 They control the western part of the country, which is where the population lives.

02:08:39.000 So the Houthis control Yemen.

02:08:42.000 There's been a civil war going on in Yemen for like 20 years, and they fought Saudi Arabia for 7 out of the last 10 years.

02:08:51.000 And they recently signed a ceasefire with Saudi Arabia.

02:08:54.000 Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States, could not defeat the Houthis.

02:08:59.000 So Saudi Arabia was bombing Yemen.

02:09:02.000 The United States was giving them support under the pretext that Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula was operating in Yemen.

02:09:09.000 That's how we justify it legally.

02:09:12.000 And despite Saudi Arabia having these huge arms deals with the United States and having one of the most well-funded militaries in the world, they couldn't defeat Yemen.

02:09:24.000 Which is not a big country, and not a big fighting force, and not well-equipped.

02:09:31.000 So they had bombed the Houthis in Yemen for like seven years, couldn't defeat them.

02:09:36.000 Eventually they had this humiliating ceasefire agreement.

02:09:39.000 There's been a tenuous peace since 2022.

02:09:44.000 And so the Houthis are a Shiite group, or a derivative of Shiite Islam.

02:09:48.000 They're backed and funded and supplied and trained by Iran as part of this

02:09:55.000 Proxy network across the whole Middle East and Yemen sits right on the coast of the Red Sea and the Al-Mandeb Strait, which is the entrance from the Arabian Sea into the Red Sea, ultimately into the Suez Canal.

02:10:11.000 So they control or rather they sit right on the border of the entrance to the Suez Canal on the side near the Arabian Sea in the Indian Ocean.

02:10:23.000 So the Houthi movement has said that since the war in Gaza broke out that they will attack any Israeli-linked shipping inside the Red Sea unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire.

02:10:36.000 So in the past three or four weeks they have ramped up these attacks.

02:10:39.000 They've been attacking, and I mean a lot of ships, although they said that they'll attack any ship, but they've specifically been targeting ships that are headed towards or going from Israel.

02:10:52.000 And this affects not only Israel, but all of global shipping.

02:10:56.000 Because even companies or countries with shipping that is not linked to Israel, they're now avoiding the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

02:11:08.000 So they're instead going around the entire continent of Africa, which is increasing shipping times and shipping costs and disrupts the supply chain.

02:11:18.000 So this is very disruptive to global trade.

02:11:21.000 The Houthis say they will target Israeli shipping, which scares off all shipping, although they say they reserve the right to attack any shipping in the Red Sea until there's a ceasefire.

02:11:34.000 And this is designed to put pressure on the United States because the United States is the guarantor of the global shipping routes.

02:11:42.000 They're the guarantor of the international freedom of navigation and protecting these international waterways and of course Europe and the United States are most affected by this.

02:11:54.000 If the Houthis are blowing up ships in the Red Sea and ships

02:11:58.000 Start to avoid the Red Sea, which means avoiding the Suez Canal.

02:12:02.000 Then they gotta circumnavigate Africa.

02:12:04.000 They gotta go near the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

02:12:08.000 And like I said, that's a big supply chain disruption.

02:12:12.000 And the Houthis know, by the way, that there's really nothing the United States can do about it.

02:12:18.000 Because what has happened in the past 7 or 8 years is that these developments in missile and drone technology really favor the defensive side.

02:12:28.000 It's mobile, it's hard to detect.

02:12:30.000 So the United States can bomb Yemen all they want.

02:12:35.000 By the time the bombs are falling from the sky, the Houthis have moved the platforms from which they launched the missiles.

02:12:44.000 So the United States doesn't have surveillance in Yemen.

02:12:47.000 They don't have a ton of intelligence there.

02:12:50.000 So they don't really know where these military positions are.

02:12:54.000 So they can't effectively destroy these things.

02:12:56.000 Also, they're cheap.

02:12:57.000 They're cheap, they're mobile, they're light.

02:13:00.000 And so the Houthis are really not affected.

02:13:03.000 So much by what the United States is doing.

02:13:06.000 Short of the United States really going in, in a major ground war, really using a lot of assets there, they can't do much about the Houthis attacking the ships.

02:13:17.000 And as long as the Houthis are attacking the ships, this is painful for Europe and the United States economically.

02:13:22.000 It's also humiliating.

02:13:24.000 There's another factor as well.

02:13:27.000 So when Saudi Arabia was at war with Yemen and they were losing, the Houthis were striking into Saudi Arabia.

02:13:35.000 Most notably, they were bombing Saudi Arabia's oil refineries in Saudi Arabia's eastern province and destabilizing Saudi Arabia and attacking their civilian infrastructure, which is something that Saudi Arabia desperately doesn't want.

02:13:50.000 They want to maintain peace with Yemen.

02:13:53.000 And so the United States knows, and the Houthis know, that not only can the Houthis attack with relative impunity, with their missiles and with their anti-ship stuff, but they also know that Saudi Arabia does not want to be dragged into the conflict.

02:14:09.000 The Houthis reserve the right to begin bombing Saudi Arabia again.

02:14:15.000 And begin bombing those oil refineries, which, if they're attacking the ships and that increases shipping costs, if they're attacking Saudi Arabia's oil, or attacking Saudi Arabia at all, which is one of the world's largest oil producers, that's going to jack up energy, which is something that the United States definitely doesn't want, for obvious reasons.

02:14:36.000 Inflation has been high.

02:14:38.000 They have had to raise interest rates to 25-year highs in order to combat that and it was largely driven by increases in petroleum because of the war in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions during COVID.

02:14:53.000 So there's not only an effect on energy but there's also a geopolitical effect on Saudi Arabia.

02:15:00.000 So that's the situation.

02:15:02.000 So the Houthis have been bombing the ships.

02:15:04.000 The United States deployed its naval assets along with the UK and Australia to the Red Sea in order to deter the attacks, but the Houthis have been undeterred.

02:15:16.000 So the United States on Thursday and Friday launched missile and airstrikes against Yemen, attacking I think 26 of their facilities on Thursday, came back and destroyed more of their facilities on Friday, and the Houthis have kept attacking.

02:15:32.000 The United States bombed Yemen again yesterday, but really with no effect.

02:15:38.000 And this is a story from the New York Times.

02:15:41.000 It says, quote,

02:15:42.000 The U.S.

02:15:43.000 military said Tuesday that it launched more strikes against the Houthis in Yemen as tensions in the region escalate.

02:15:50.000 U.S.

02:15:50.000 Central Command claimed that it hit Houthi anti-ship missiles at 4.15 a.m.

02:15:55.000 Yemen time.

02:15:57.000 U.S.

02:15:57.000 forces struck and destroyed four Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles prepared to launch from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

02:16:04.000 But they got tons of these things.

02:16:06.000 They have tons of missiles.

02:16:07.000 So, they destroyed four missiles.

02:16:09.000 Big whip.

02:16:11.000 Later in the day, however, the Houthis were able to target another ship, a Greek-owned ship, in the Red Sea, despite the strikes.

02:16:19.000 CENTCOM said the MV Zografia, the Greek ship, reported that they were struck but seaworthy and were continuing their Red Sea transit.

02:16:29.000 No injuries were reported.

02:16:31.000 So the United States bombed the Houthis on Thursday, bombed them on Friday, bombed them yesterday.

02:16:36.000 And the Houthis attacked another ship right after all these strikes.

02:16:41.000 So the United States has not in any meaningful way eliminated or diminished the Houthis' ability to carry out these strikes.

02:16:48.000 And the Houthis know that, and Iran knows that.

02:16:52.000 And they also know that the United States can't escalate too much.

02:16:57.000 Because the more they escalate, the Houthis can always expand the war.

02:17:01.000 And they also know that the United States desperately doesn't want another war in Yemen.

02:17:07.000 Saudi Arabia and the United States could not defeat Yemen for seven years.

02:17:10.000 They certainly can't defeat them now.

02:17:13.000 So there's a limit to how much can be done here, and the Houthis know that.

02:17:18.000 So this is one of the several ways that Iran, using its proxies, is putting pressure on the United States.

02:17:25.000 And the demands, which are notable, the Houthis say they will continue to attack shipping, and they're basically unstoppable until there's a ceasefire.

02:17:36.000 So that puts pressure on Biden to urge Netanyahu to stop the bombing in Gaza.

02:17:43.000 But the article goes on it says the Houthis have made it clear they will not stop attacks on Israeli-linked commercial shipping until the U.S.-backed Israeli slaughter in Gaza ends.

02:17:53.000 But the U.S.

02:17:53.000 has shown no interest in pressuring the Israelis to lift the siege and escalations continue all over the region as a result.

02:18:01.000 The strikes on Tuesday marked the third time the U.S.

02:18:03.000 bombed Yemen since Friday when the U.S.

02:18:05.000 was joined by the U.K.

02:18:06.000 in striking dozens of Houthi sites.

02:18:09.000 As a result, the Houthis are now targeting American and British shipping, and more shipping companies are suspending transits through the Red Sea, including the British oil giant Shell.

02:18:22.000 So it's kind of funny.

02:18:24.000 You know, the Houthis say, well, we're going to bomb Israel's shipping.

02:18:28.000 And we say, well, we'll bomb you.

02:18:29.000 And it doesn't work.

02:18:31.000 And they say, OK, well, we'll bomb you, too, then.

02:18:33.000 And it just gets worse.

02:18:36.000 So there's no winning in this one.

02:18:38.000 This theater is a checkmate for Iran.

02:18:42.000 Or rather, for us.

02:18:43.000 Iran has put us in checkmate in this part of the conflict.

02:18:48.000 I'm sorry, I just read that.

02:18:50.000 U.S.

02:18:51.000 officials have acknowledged that the strikes on Yemen did not hamper the Houthis' defensive and offensive capabilities.

02:18:57.000 The Houthis endured a brutal U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign and blockade from 2015 to 2022, and only became a more formidable fighting force during that time.

02:19:10.000 A fragile ceasefire between the Saudis and Houthis has held relatively well since April 2022,

02:19:17.000 And Riyadh is distancing itself from the current U.S.

02:19:20.000 anti-Houthi operations.

02:19:22.000 Saudi Arabia doesn't even support this.

02:19:24.000 From the beginning, they said that they don't want airstrikes, they don't want missile strikes in Yemen.

02:19:30.000 The U.S.-backed Saudi war on the Houthis killed 377,000 people from 2015 to 2022, according to the U.N.

02:19:39.000 More than half died of starvation and disease caused by the siege.

02:19:45.000 So that is the theater in Yemen.

02:19:50.000 But then there was also an even bigger situation that is happening now with Iran.

02:19:55.000 So, you know, we've been following all the different theaters of the conflict.

02:19:58.000 That's Yemen.

02:20:00.000 Haven't talked about Lebanon in a week.

02:20:02.000 Nothing new there.

02:20:04.000 But the next part of the story concerns the front in Iran.

02:20:08.000 Of course, two weeks ago, there was a major terrorist attack in Iran.

02:20:14.000 It killed, I think, 51 people, injured many more, and this was on the anniversary of Qasem Soleimani's death, and it was at the mausoleum of Qasem Soleimani.

02:20:26.000 Soleimani was the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

02:20:31.000 And he built this entire Iranian-backed network of proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen.

02:20:38.000 He was the architect of this Iranian Axis that is fighting Israel today.

02:20:43.000 He was killed by the United States three years ago and, like I said, two weeks ago his mausoleum was bombed on the anniversary of his killing.

02:20:52.000 Many people immediately blamed Israel, Iran included.

02:20:57.000 And to put Iran in a tough spot because the necessary response is to retaliate.

02:21:04.000 That would be like if in the United States somebody attacked the JFK tombstone in his cemetery.

02:21:13.000 That would be like if somebody attacked Arlington National Cemetery.

02:21:17.000 Of course we would have to bomb whoever was responsible.

02:21:20.000 But Iran does not want to be drawn into a war with Israel.

02:21:24.000 That's what Israel wants.

02:21:26.000 This is obviously a very tense time, and so if Iran retaliated against Israel, then they might incur the wrath of the United States.

02:21:36.000 And there might be retaliation from the United States against Iran, which they definitely don't want.

02:21:42.000 So Iran was put in a tough situation.

02:21:45.000 So, Iranian society blamed Israel, some members of the Iranian government seemed to blame Israel, but yet they couldn't really retaliate directly against Israel.

02:21:56.000 The United States said that ISIS was responsible for the attack.

02:22:01.000 ISIS-Khorasan, which operates in Afghanistan, and apparently they've launched attacks in Iran in years past, the United States said it was them, and they didn't do it to frame Israel.

02:22:13.000 They did it because they just don't like Soleimani.

02:22:16.000 They just don't like Iran.

02:22:18.000 Which I find hard to believe, and I think is probably not the case.

02:22:22.000 So, yesterday Iran struck three targets as their retaliation for the terrorist attack.

02:22:29.000 They bombed ISIS in Syria, they bombed the Kurds in Kurdish Iraq, or Iraqi Kurdistan, and they bombed Balochistan in Pakistan.

02:22:40.000 So, three different sites in three different countries.

02:22:43.000 And like I said, what's notable is that

02:22:47.000 All three countries are aligned with Iran.

02:22:49.000 Iran backs the Assad regime in Syria.

02:22:52.000 Iran supports the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, which is part of the security umbrella of the Iraqi government.

02:23:01.000 And Iran is allied with Pakistan and they've supported each other in wars since the creation of the Pakistani state and since the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

02:23:12.000 So they have been allies, although there's been tensions, but they've been allies for a long time.

02:23:18.000 What's notable is that Iran attacked these non-state groups in all three countries.

02:23:25.000 They attacked ISIS in Syria.

02:23:28.000 And ISIS is an opponent of the Iranian-backed Assad regime in Syria.

02:23:34.000 And ISIS still controls territory in Syria.

02:23:37.000 So Iran bombed ISIS in Syria.

02:23:40.000 Inside of Iraq, they attacked the capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, which is called Erbil.

02:23:50.000 And the Kurds are

02:23:53.000 They have problems with the Iraqi government.

02:23:55.000 They have problems with the Turkish government and the Syrian government.

02:23:59.000 The Kurds are backed by Israel and the United States and all the neocons.

02:24:04.000 And the Kurdish part of Iraq is semi-autonomous.

02:24:06.000 It's not fully under the control of the government in Baghdad.

02:24:11.000 And Iran attacked Balochistan.

02:24:13.000 A lot of people don't know, Balochistan is, the Balochi are an ethnic people

02:24:20.000 We're good to go.

02:24:36.000 And so this is another group that has fought Iran, in which Iran accuses Pakistan of harboring over the years.

02:24:44.000 And so in every case, Iran is attacking these non-state actors, all of whom are accused of being supported by Israel.

02:24:54.000 Israel has been blamed for supporting ISIS in Syria, the Kurds in Iraq, and they've also been blamed for supporting this other group.

02:25:03.000 In Belochistan to destabilize Iran.

02:25:05.000 So it's very clear Iran is sending a clear message.

02:25:08.000 This is a retaliation against Israel, but they can't attack Israel directly.

02:25:15.000 So just like Israel is attacking Iran indirectly by going after the Houthis and going after Hezbollah and going after the Iranian militias in Iraq and Syria, now Iran is going after Israel's proxies in all these regions.

02:25:32.000 And if it was an ISIS affiliate that bombed Iran, probably it came from Israel.

02:25:40.000 Now Iran is bombing ISIS and Balochistan and the Kurds, but in reality they're backing these, or rather Iran is attacking these groups that are unofficially backed by Israel.

02:25:53.000 So this is a story, this is from the New York Times, it says quote,

02:25:56.000 Iran hit its neighbors Pakistan and Iraq with missile strikes on Tuesday prompting strong denunciations from both countries and raising fears that upheaval in the Middle East could spiral out of control.

02:26:09.000 Since the war in Gaza began in October, Iran has used its proxy forces against Israel and its allies.

02:26:15.000 But on Tuesday it said its latest missile strikes have been in response to terrorist attacks within its borders.

02:26:21.000 The missile strikes nevertheless raised tensions in a region where conflict has now touched at least five nations.

02:26:28.000 The missile strike in Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state, hit a remote mountainous region on Tuesday.

02:26:35.000 The strike in Iraq, which has close political and military ties with Iran, hit the Kurdistan capital, Erbil, around midnight Tuesday and involved ballistic missiles and drones.

02:26:48.000 Iraqi government officials said it killed four civilians.

02:26:51.000 In both cases, Iranian officials said they were going after terrorists.

02:26:56.000 They were accused of being behind recent attacks on its territory that have badly shaken Iranians.

02:27:02.000 This month, suicide bombers killed 84 people at a memorial procession for a revered Iranian military leader.

02:27:09.000 And in December, an attack on a police station killed at least 11 officers.

02:27:15.000 The Iraqi and Pakistani governments rejected Iran's justifications.

02:27:20.000 In addition to hitting Pakistan and Iraq, Iran in recent days also struck Syria.

02:27:25.000 The Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for the attack on the Iranian procession, has a presence in Idlib province.

02:27:33.000 So far there has been no public objection from the Syrian government, which is closely allied with Iran.

02:27:39.000 So, this morning the Iranian foreign minister said that in Erbil they bombed a Mossad building.

02:27:49.000 So, in Iraqi Kurdistan, in Erbil, where they attacked, Iran said they were really targeting a Mossad outpost, and they also said that they attacked the Iranian part of Balochistan, and they accused the group of being supported by Israel.

02:28:07.000 I think they're called Josh al-Adl or something like that.

02:28:11.000 Al-Adl.

02:28:15.000 Let me see if I can pull it up.

02:28:17.000 Yeah.

02:28:18.000 Josh Al-Adl is the group in Balochistan.

02:28:21.000 And Iran said that they're backed by Israel.

02:28:24.000 So think about it!

02:28:26.000 So, Iran attacks Israel-backed ISIS in Idlib, Syria.

02:28:32.000 They backed a Mossad plant inside Iraqi Kurdistan in Iraq.

02:28:38.000 They bomb Israel-backed Josh al-Adl in Balochistan, and actually say they bombed it within their territory, although Pakistan says it's in their territory.

02:28:48.000 But this is the first time that Iran has gotten involved directly.

02:28:51.000 So far, Hamas attacked Israel,

02:28:56.000 Hezbollah and Israel have traded fire on Israel's border.

02:28:59.000 The Iranian-backed militias, Popular Mobilization Front, and Iraq and Syria has attacked American bases in Israel.

02:29:06.000 And the Iranian-backed Houthis have attacked shipping in the Red Sea.

02:29:10.000 But so far, Iran has not been directly involved.

02:29:13.000 They've not directly struck anybody.

02:29:15.000 And I said two weeks ago this is a major escalation.

02:29:19.000 Since Iran was attacked by probably Israeli-backed terrorists,

02:29:24.000 Two weeks ago, they've been formulating their response and now Iran is directly engaged in all these fronts.

02:29:32.000 So, Israel and the United States are bombing Iran and Iraq and Syria.

02:29:39.000 Now Iran is bombing Israel and American-backed groups in Iraq and Syria.

02:29:45.000 And even Pakistan, which the United States is a close ally of Pakistan too.

02:29:50.000 Although not so much lately.

02:29:53.000 So this is a huge escalation and I'm sure the United States and Israel are taking note.

02:30:01.000 Although I don't know that this is doing Iran any favors because here's the other thing about this.

02:30:07.000 The United States in recent weeks has been bombing Iraq and so has Israel.

02:30:15.000 And Iraq several years ago voted

02:30:19.000 To push the United States out of their country.

02:30:21.000 I think there's about 2,500 U.S.

02:30:23.000 military personnel still in the country.

02:30:26.000 And several years ago they held a vote and said that they seek the withdrawal of foreign troops, which means Americans.

02:30:32.000 And after the United States killed a leader of one of the popular mobilization force groups a couple weeks ago,

02:30:40.000 The Iraqi parliament said, for real this time, now we're going to force the withdrawal of the United States, which would be good for Iran, bad for Israel.

02:30:49.000 So Iraq is in the process of forcing the withdrawal of the United States, but now that Iran has bombed Iraq, which Iraq claims is a violation of their sovereignty, now this complicates that.

02:31:02.000 So Iraq is going to basically become

02:31:06.000 Potentially the center of a proxy war between the United States and Iran.

02:31:11.000 If the United States is killing Iranian backed officials or even Iranians themselves in Iraq and Iran is bombing the Kurds in Iraq.

02:31:21.000 And same thing with Pakistan.

02:31:23.000 Because Pakistan is China's Israel.

02:31:27.000 To give you some context.

02:31:29.000 Iran's key ally if things turn into a regional war will be Russia and China.

02:31:36.000 China gets their oil from Iran.

02:31:38.000 The United States has tried to bankrupt Iran and cripple Iran with sanctions and mainly by sanctioning their oil.

02:31:45.000 But China gets their oil from Iran.

02:31:47.000 Whatever the West won't buy, China buys.

02:31:51.000 So that's allowed Iran to basically nullify the sanctions.

02:31:57.000 But Pakistan is one of China's closest allies and vice versa.

02:32:02.000 So Iran has upset Iraq and they've upset Pakistan.

02:32:06.000 So I don't know that this is maybe the smartest move.

02:32:10.000 I don't know that that was the best thing for them to do.

02:32:13.000 So China has now spoken out and said that they've urged mediation and they want a peaceful resolution to this.

02:32:21.000 The Iranian diplomat was summoned in Islamabad to explain it to Pakistan.

02:32:26.000 So this is complicating everything, really, more so for Iran than anybody else.

02:32:30.000 I don't know if this was the best move.

02:32:33.000 Assad wouldn't say anything, but Iraq doesn't like it, Pakistan doesn't like it, you know, and Iran needs all the allies it can get, and they especially can't compromise their relationship with China.

02:32:43.000 Although, the thing is about Pakistan is they're accused by everybody of harboring terrorists.

02:32:49.000 China accuses Pakistan of harboring Uighur terrorists, Iran accuses Pakistan of harboring

02:32:57.000 These Balochi separatists.

02:33:01.000 The United States accuses Pakistan of harboring terrorists.

02:33:05.000 Everybody does, so maybe it won't be too much of a rift, but this is clearly an indirect signal and retaliation against Israel for the terrorist attack in... I forget the name of it.

02:33:20.000 I said it earlier.

02:33:23.000 Erman or something like that in Iran.

02:33:25.000 Kerman.

02:33:27.000 Not Erman, Kerman.

02:33:28.000 So that's that.

02:33:30.000 But that's our update on the war in Gaza.

02:33:32.000 It continues to escalate.

02:33:35.000 I hope people can follow this.

02:33:36.000 I know it just gets more complicated every day with all these different groups.

02:33:41.000 Pakistan is technically in a whole different region.

02:33:45.000 So it's a whole different geopolitics.

02:33:48.000 But that's the latest.

02:33:49.000 So we'll probably cover this throughout the week.

02:33:51.000 There'll be... I'm sure something will happen tomorrow.

02:33:55.000 But that's that.

02:33:56.000 So we're gonna move on.

02:33:57.000 We'll get into our Super Chats.

02:33:58.000 See what you guys have to say about all this.

02:34:02.000 Let me get set up here.

02:34:03.000 And we'll see.

02:34:06.000 Probably not a ton of Super Chats at this very late hour, which is good for me.

02:34:11.000 Not good for my money, but good for my mental well-being.

02:34:17.000 Alright, so let's take a look.

02:34:21.000 See what we got here.

02:34:26.000 And then I gotta eat something.

02:34:28.000 I'm starving.

02:34:31.000 Maybe get some coffee.

02:34:32.000 Alright, let's take a look.

02:35:45.000 They care more about video games!

02:35:46.000 Dude, shut the fuck up, nerd.

02:36:08.000 Listen, when you say Nietzschean last man, you sound like an idiot.

02:36:12.000 I just want you to know that.

02:36:15.000 Maybe you think it makes you sound smart, it makes you sound dumb.

02:36:19.000 Because that is the most trite, overused crap ever.

02:36:26.000 I sound like Nietzsche's last man.

02:36:28.000 It's like I'm the same level as 1984.

02:36:30.000 It's like when you say, 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.

02:36:35.000 It's like same level of assininity.

02:36:41.000 And this take about intelligent guys are spending more time on video games and discovery.

02:36:46.000 People have been saying that for 10 years.

02:36:48.000 Okay, not a hot take.

02:36:50.000 You want to know why?

02:36:51.000 Because society is rigged.

02:36:53.000 That's why.

02:36:55.000 Because video games are an escape.

02:36:57.000 I imagine that more men would seek discovery if the system wasn't rigged.

02:37:05.000 If white men could get into Harvard for being smart instead of for being black, maybe they'd care more.

02:37:12.000 If white men could get scouted and make a fortune, being scientists and discoverers instead of being underemployed and cheated out of the value of your money,

02:37:24.000 Then maybe they'd be interested.

02:37:26.000 But the system doesn't care about intelligent people.

02:37:29.000 The system doesn't care about intelligent white people.

02:37:32.000 It's not looking for them.

02:37:33.000 It's looking for compliant middle managers.

02:37:37.000 And so as a result, the geniuses are on 4chan.

02:37:41.000 The geniuses are playing video games.

02:37:43.000 The geniuses are tinkering with computers.

02:37:46.000 They're not going to Harvard.

02:37:48.000 They're not joining the military.

02:37:49.000 I mean, what genius would go and fight in the military now?

02:37:53.000 A genius can see the writing on the wall.

02:37:55.000 A genius can see that these wars aren't for us and that the system hates whites.

02:38:00.000 Geniuses have no time for diversity training.

02:38:03.000 So they say, fuck that mess, I'm gonna play Minecraft for a thousand hours.

02:38:09.000 Geniuses can see that Harvard is a joke and rigged.

02:38:12.000 So they say, fuck that, I'm gonna... I'm gonna find the fastest way to complete Mario 64 or whatever.

02:38:21.000 They check out.

02:38:22.000 They're checked out.

02:38:24.000 So that's why.

02:38:26.000 But, I mean, we should be like China.

02:38:28.000 We should have standardized testing at 16 years old, or younger, and the highest scoring people should basically be groomed

02:38:37.000 And the only way to make the most out of that is to have a very good system in place to find them,

02:38:59.000 And China does that very well, and other countries do it well, but we don't.

02:39:03.000 You know,

02:39:28.000 How do we do college admissions?

02:39:30.000 You write an essay about how black you are.

02:39:32.000 You write a college essay about how, you know, how I was raised by a single mother in the Bronx.

02:39:38.000 It's like, shut up.

02:39:40.000 You know, we should have geniuses going to the best schools.

02:39:44.000 And we should have the money being poured into

02:39:46.000 The program's for them.

02:39:47.000 We need more scientists, fewer lawyers.

02:39:51.000 We need more scientists, more engineers, fewer lawyers, fewer liberal arts degrees.

02:39:57.000 Although we should have philosophers too, don't get me wrong, but we should really invest in our people.

02:40:05.000 Dave the Dingus sent $3.

02:40:07.000 You have long fingers.

02:40:08.000 I'll still keep watching the show though.

02:40:12.000 Boomer the Zoomer sent $3.

02:40:13.000 Hi Nick, long time no super chat.

02:40:17.000 I'm Boston Groyper, but I've been noticing how many college guys support Trump and it's white-pilling.

02:40:22.000 America first is inevitable.

02:40:24.000 Yes, very white-pilling.

02:40:27.000 Boston, yeah, good times.

02:40:29.000 I used to live in Boston at one time.

02:40:32.000 I do not con-sent $20.

02:40:34.000 Sticking up your hand for the Fuhrer.

02:40:36.000 You're so airy and you're so uber-mench.

02:40:38.000 I just want to be your Hamler.

02:40:39.000 Get out of the basement.

02:40:40.000 Here's your arm tattoo.

02:40:43.000 Nice job.

02:40:43.000 Thank you.

02:40:44.000 My own world sent $3.

02:40:46.000 Adam King is the gift that keeps on giving.

02:40:49.000 Also hilarious to watch him shoot off his Twitter distress beacon in every direction for someone to help.

02:40:54.000 Sorry Lil Nigga.

02:40:55.000 No one is coming.

02:40:58.000 That's pretty funny.

02:40:59.000 Yeah, he's been having a hard time.

02:41:01.000 Poor guy.

02:41:03.000 Poor guy got outsmarted by a guy once.

02:41:05.000 And now he's self-destructing.

02:41:08.000 They can't handle it.

02:41:10.000 Albert Castro sent $8, Ramaswamy's speech was great.

02:41:16.000 Which one?

02:41:17.000 Today or yesterday?

02:41:19.000 Boss Lurker sent $10, it's not difficult to see why so-called secret books about Jesus were left out of the Bible, they are very stupid books.

02:41:28.000 Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not boring old standbys, they are by far the best books about Jesus.

02:41:34.000 Best show in the world, thanks.

02:41:38.000 Those are the only ones that were referenced by the Church Fathers.

02:41:43.000 The Church Fathers didn't mention any of the Apocrypha, and a lot of the Gnostic Gospels that he was talking about came after Nicaea.

02:41:50.000 So, I mean, anybody that makes that argument is just not serious.

02:41:55.000 There's a lot of, like, alternative history about, like, the Dead Sea Scrolls and this other stuff, but none of that is legitimate.

02:42:04.000 None of that is taken seriously.

02:42:06.000 Pretty Fly White Guy sent $3, 295.

02:42:09.000 Thanks for the show.

02:42:12.000 Hey, thank you for the super chat.

02:42:14.000 I appreciate it.

02:42:24.000 Aaron Burke sent $3.

02:42:25.000 Did you see for Napoleon they cut out the best parts of the film, as they cut 90 minutes out of the cinema version.

02:42:31.000 A good chunk of the Battle of Austerlitz.

02:42:33.000 Jews in Hollywood definitely involved.

02:42:35.000 No, I didn't see that.

02:42:36.000 Really dumb question.

02:42:38.000 Completely different situation.

02:42:39.000 This isn't Europe, and that means something.

02:42:41.000 This isn't the 20th century, that means something too.

02:43:01.000 It's this is not the 20th century technologically and it's not the 20th century the age of ideology so you I mean you know that's just a stupid I hate when people ask stupid questions like that when they say what is it gonna take to get fat what the fuck does that even mean you dumb idiot that's just a stupid rhetorical question

02:43:21.000 Anybody who knows me, no, I'm not... Unfortunately, I'm just like this, okay?

02:43:23.000 I'm not trying to be like... I couldn't be nice to you if I tried.

02:43:26.000 And, um...

02:43:26.000 Okay?

02:43:48.000 Elitism isn't cringe.

02:43:50.000 It's actually a good thing.

02:43:51.000 If you think elitism is cringe, then you should go support the trannies and the blacks.

02:43:57.000 You know?

02:43:58.000 If you're some elitist, then go hang with the scrum.

02:44:01.000 Go hang with the scrum of all the new arrivals.

02:44:06.000 You know?

02:44:06.000 I hate elitism!

02:44:08.000 Okay, so what do you like, Bud Light and immigrants?

02:44:11.000 Real mad at the people hanging out with refugees and Bud Light drinkers and football watchers and people who find commercials laugh out loud funny.

02:44:21.000 So, it's got nothing to do with Richard Spencer, although I admire Richard Spencer for that reason.

02:44:30.000 But that's a nice bait attempt.

02:44:32.000 Kelly Johnson sent $20, new female fan here.

02:44:36.000 Your courage and honesty are admirable.

02:44:38.000 Keep it up.

02:44:39.000 I love the idea of Trump and he is, by far, the only option for presidency but what are your thoughts on Zionist contributing to a majority of his success in the casino business and the executive office?

02:44:50.000 I battle with this.

02:44:51.000 Seems there's no escaping Zionism.

02:44:53.000 Your thoughts?

02:44:55.000 Well, hey, thanks for the super chat.

02:44:57.000 Female fan, huh?

02:44:59.000 I don't have many female fans.

02:45:02.000 Probably because I hate women.

02:45:04.000 No, but I don't really.

02:45:05.000 I love women.

02:45:05.000 I love everybody, really.

02:45:09.000 But hey, thanks for the super chat.

02:45:10.000 Welcome aboard, young lady.

02:45:13.000 Welcome aboard, lass.

02:45:16.000 The girls' viewing party's over there.

02:45:18.000 No, I'm kidding.

02:45:19.000 But, well, I basically answered that in great detail.

02:45:23.000 So I don't need to go into the whole thing.

02:45:24.000 But basically, I think that his agreement with the Zionists is provisional as opposed to

02:45:31.000 Servile.

02:45:33.000 That's how I see it.

02:45:35.000 A bee sent $10.

02:45:36.000 The intro was so awesome.

02:45:38.000 Thanks for the free show.

02:45:40.000 You do this every night and we love you.

02:45:42.000 Thanks.

02:45:43.000 I'm trying to get on time.

02:45:45.000 I really struggle with punctuality, okay?

02:45:48.000 I'm good at a lot of things.

02:45:50.000 Well, I'm good at some things.

02:45:52.000 Punctuality, my weakest point.

02:45:56.000 But I'm trying, okay?

02:45:57.000 I'm not doing it.

02:46:12.000 I mean, I appreciate the suggestion, but I'm not doing all that.

02:46:16.000 I'll just watch the... Ummm...

02:46:34.000 I'm busy that day, but hey, I appreciate the super chat, but gee, you know, now that I think about it, I think I'm really busy that day, so maybe another time.

02:46:46.000 Listen, I can't be doing this, like, dating your fans thing.

02:46:53.000 I'm sure you're a very nice person and I appreciate it.

02:46:57.000 But I can't, you know, for security reasons, I can't just be meeting up with anybody.

02:47:02.000 What if you're trying to kill me?

02:47:03.000 What if you're trying to honeypot me?

02:47:06.000 What if I go and meet up with you and you try to seduce me and then, you know, you take pictures of my butt or something?

02:47:13.000 Like, we can't be doing that.

02:47:15.000 So, you know, in good time I'll be looking for a wife, but I can't be soliciting offers like this.

02:47:21.000 But I'm sure you're nice.

02:47:23.000 I appreciate the gesture.

02:47:25.000 Richie S sent $10, not sure if you got my second chat.

02:47:29.000 My friend was the one in the MAGA hat behind Baked Alaska at Capitol.

02:47:33.000 They thought he was you.

02:47:35.000 No knocked him at 2am I feel like you both got screwed because of the mixup.

02:47:39.000 Been watching since 2k16 love ya.

02:47:41.000 So awesome.

02:47:43.000 Keep it up big guy.

02:47:44.000 Well I haven't been doing, I've only been doing the show since 2017 but if you've been watching for a long time thank you man I appreciate it.

02:47:53.000 Yeah, I did see that chat.

02:47:55.000 I think I read it last week, but I definitely got screwed because of your friend.

02:48:01.000 It's not his fault, but yeah, I did get screwed by that in a big way, but that's okay.

02:48:06.000 Okay, all right.

02:48:08.000 That's our last Super Chat.

02:48:10.000 That's gonna do it for me.

02:48:11.000 I'm starving.

02:48:12.000 I gotta eat some breakfast.

02:48:14.000 I'm gonna have some pasta and coffee.

02:48:17.000 But that's the show.
