Fresh & Fit - Breaking Down The News With Nick Fuentes

00:07:54.000 And we are live.

00:07:55.000 What's up, guys?

00:07:55.000 Welcome to the.

00:07:57.000 Should I say Fresh Affair or is it MGX or what is it?

00:07:59.000 Hey, we got here with Nick Fuentes, man. 0.99

00:08:00.000 Let's fucking go. 0.99

00:08:02.000 Let's go. 1.00

00:08:03.000 What's going on?

00:08:03.000 Welcome, bro.

00:08:04.000 It's been a while.

00:08:05.000 It's been almost three years now, I think, since you've last been on.

00:08:08.000 Happy to have you.

00:08:09.000 We got a bunch of stuff going on right now.

00:08:11.000 And it's like, it's like almost like you came to Miami and it's like, okay, let's go ahead and talk about Iran because there's a bunch of stuff going on in the Middle East right now, man.

00:08:17.000 So we'll get right into it, guys.

00:08:19.000 No crazy intros or anything else like that.

00:08:20.000 You guys have been waiting for this one for a very long time. 0.97

00:08:22.000 I'm here with the legend himself, Nick fucking Fuentes. 0.62

00:08:25.000 Nick, for the people that live under a rock, man, can you just introduce yourself real quick to the people? 0.93

00:08:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:08:30.000 Well, great to be here.

00:08:31.000 It's been a minute, like you said, I think 2023.

00:08:33.000 Yeah, so it's been a few years.

00:08:34.000 But yeah, I host America First on Rumble Monday through Friday.

00:08:38.000 And yeah, it's good to be back.

00:08:41.000 Let's do it.

00:08:41.000 Let's talk about it.

00:08:42.000 One of the best political commentators in America, and he's over here being really humble and stuff like that.

00:08:46.000 We're happy to have you.

00:08:47.000 So obviously, we kind of get right into what's been going on.

00:08:52.000 Can you give us a quick summary of what's been going on as far as this MOU?

00:08:56.000 Literally, we're in the middle of restarting a war in the Middle East. 0.55

00:08:58.000 Lebanon is going crazy.

00:09:00.000 There's riots all over the place.

00:09:01.000 You know, former security advisors are getting indicted for all kinds of crazy news today.

00:09:07.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:09:08.000 Well, it's funny because I think the last time we talked, we did that debate with Hassan, or not Hassan, Destiny, Zerka, Sneeko.

00:09:15.000 Yes.

00:09:16.000 We had the whole panel.

00:09:17.000 And it's funny because even back then, we were talking about the clean break memo.

00:09:20.000 Yes.

00:09:20.000 We were talking about how it was in Iraq and Syria, and then everything was pointing towards Iran.

00:09:25.000 And that was even before Trump got elected, too.

00:09:28.000 Before October 7th, before everything.

00:09:29.000 Right. 0.77

00:09:29.000 And I remember it vividly because you were talking about how the United States gets no benefit from being aligned with Israel. 0.77

00:09:36.000 And it was a great debate because, like, a lot of people didn't know that stuff. 0.94

00:09:39.000 And now people are kind of seeing, like, Nick was right the whole time.

00:09:43.000 We don't get any benefit from these guys.

00:09:45.000 That's nuts.

00:09:45.000 Well, yeah.

00:09:45.000 And because even back then, it wasn't really like an active situation, it wasn't hot yet.

00:09:49.000 Nobody knew.

00:09:50.000 Right.

00:09:50.000 And so it was kind of just this, like, compartmentalized kind of thing.

00:09:53.000 Like it was kind of inert.

00:09:56.000 You know, it was lurking under the surface, but nothing was really going on.

00:09:59.000 And then I think it was literally three months later, October 7th. 0.65

00:10:02.000 And then it's just been off to the races Gaza, then Lebanon, then Iran, Iran again.

00:10:07.000 And I mean, I guess the big news is that this whole deal is totally falling apart.

00:10:10.000 The whole deal is a sham.

00:10:11.000 And it's funny because, you know, the war started February 28th.

00:10:16.000 And realistically, it only went on for about five or six weeks.

00:10:19.000 We had a ceasefire in the first week of April.

00:10:22.000 And I remember ever since April, there's been all this talk about there's going to be a deal, there's going to be a deal, long term deal, war's over, whatever.

00:10:29.000 And finally, then, I don't know if it was a week ago or two weeks ago, we get this MOU.

00:10:33.000 They say it's a done deal.

00:10:35.000 Signed on the dotted line, war is over, everything's cool now.

00:10:38.000 And when they announced the MOU, I remember reading through it.

00:10:42.000 We didn't even get it for a few days.

00:10:43.000 They announced it on a Sunday.

00:10:44.000 We got some rumors about what was in it in the first 24 hours.

00:10:49.000 Finally got it on that Wednesday.

00:10:50.000 And I'm reading through the deal and I'm thinking, this is never going to hold because fundamentally the critical issues never got resolved.

00:10:57.000 And the big ones were the situation in Lebanon, whether there's going to be a ceasefire, whether there's going to be Iran managing the Strait of Hormuz, whether they're going to charge a toll.

00:11:07.000 And then ultimately, those root causes of the conflict, the structural issues like the nuclear program and the sanctions regime.

00:11:13.000 And so I'm looking through it and I'm thinking, you know, they're calling it a memorandum of understanding, but it couldn't be a bigger misnomer because there's no understanding.

00:11:20.000 There's no agreement at all.

00:11:22.000 The two positions have not been reconciled.

00:11:25.000 They have not made an agreement on any of the core issues.

00:11:28.000 And so really, it's a giant misunderstanding.

00:11:31.000 And I remember when it was announced, the Iranians came out first. 0.59

00:11:34.000 They were first to the punch in their state sponsored media, and they said, The United States has agreed to give us all this money up front, and we're going to control the Strait, and they're going to impose a ceasefire in Lebanon, and basically we got everything we wanted. 0.71

00:11:47.000 And Vance came out on the shows the following day, all the morning shows, and he said, That's Iranian propaganda.

00:11:52.000 That's a lie.

00:11:53.000 We didn't agree to that.

00:11:55.000 Then the deal came out, and it was true.

00:11:56.000 We gave them all of those things.

00:11:58.000 And then, of course, the White House is put in this position where they got to come out and say basically, we didn't agree to what we agreed to. 0.89

00:12:04.000 Actually, Iran is not going to impose a toll, they're not going to manage it.

00:12:08.000 It's going to be freedom of navigation.

00:12:09.000 We're not giving them anything until later.

00:12:12.000 And basically, as quickly as it came together, it fell apart.

00:12:15.000 And that became obvious, I think it was last weekend.

00:12:17.000 They're supposed to hold these talks in Switzerland, fell apart, came together at the last minute.

00:12:23.000 They sat down and discussed it.

00:12:25.000 They tried to put together this agreement where we're going to implement a ceasefire in Lebanon.

00:12:29.000 There was this reporting mechanism, not just for Lebanon, but also for the Strait to avoid misunderstandings, escalation, the whole deal unraveling.

00:12:38.000 And then over the past week, the U.S. is trying to iron out both of these things the Strait as well as Lebanon.

00:12:44.000 They've been doing these negotiations at the State Department in D.C.

00:12:47.000 And then, literally, in just the past 48 hours, the whole thing came undone all over again.

00:12:51.000 And I guess we'll get into now the big news is that Iran is once again shooting drones at commercial shipping in the Strait.

00:12:58.000 The U.S. has retaliated by bombing the southern coast of Iran along the Strait.

00:13:03.000 And now Iran is claiming they hit U.S. bases or bases hosting U.S. troops in the Middle East.

00:13:08.000 And so you wonder, it's like, once again, how is this meaningfully different from the status quo before the MOU?

00:13:15.000 We have this war.

00:13:17.000 We're bombing them.

00:13:17.000 They're bombing us.

00:13:18.000 Then we have a ceasefire.

00:13:19.000 But during the ceasefire, we're bombing them.

00:13:21.000 They're bombing us.

00:13:22.000 Okay, now we have an MOU.

00:13:24.000 Once again, they're bombing us.

00:13:25.000 We're bombing them.

00:13:26.000 So what meaningfully has changed?

00:13:27.000 And the answer is nothing has changed because the fundamentals have not changed.

00:13:32.000 Those core issues have not been resolved.

00:13:35.000 And until they are, this is going to keep flaring up.

00:13:38.000 What do you think has been the biggest killer of this MOU? 0.86

00:13:40.000 If you had to pinpoint one or two things that you think have been the absolute worst. 1.00

00:13:43.000 Number one is Lebanon. 1.00

00:13:44.000 That's the biggest thing because, and here's the thing. 0.99

00:13:47.000 So the three issues that the MOU deals with, there are sticking points in each of those things. 0.82

00:13:53.000 It is the ceasefire in Lebanon, it is whether Iran will take control over the strait and what they do with it, and it's the root causes.

00:14:00.000 But the thing is, those latter two issues, the strait and the root causes, There's a great deal of room for the U.S. to negotiate on both of those things or to massage and finesse the truth.

00:14:11.000 So, for example, Iran said, Well, we're not going to charge a toll.

00:14:15.000 They said it's going to be a fee.

00:14:17.000 We're going to charge an environmental fee, an insurance fee, all this kind of stuff.

00:14:21.000 Now, the White House could, one, just lie and they could say, Oh, that's not happening.

00:14:25.000 They're not charging a toll, they're not charging a fee because they lie about these things all the time just so they can achieve the deal.

00:14:32.000 Two, they could just finesse it and they could say, Well, this semantic thing is really a meaningful difference.

00:14:37.000 It isn't a toll.

00:14:38.000 It is a service fee, and that's fine.

00:14:40.000 In other words, there's a lot of room for them to give concessions.

00:14:44.000 And the U.S. unilaterally can do this. 0.85

00:14:46.000 Same thing with the root causes. 0.66

00:14:48.000 On the nuclear program, we could fundamentally let them have enrichment.

00:14:52.000 We could let them have enrichment with inspections, cameras, the IAEA going in the rest of it.

00:14:58.000 There's a lot of room for us to give there as well. 0.90

00:15:00.000 But the one thing we have no control over is what Israel does in Lebanon. 0.86

00:15:04.000 Yeah. 0.80

00:15:04.000 You know, we, and that's the irony, closest ally, complete dependence on us, and there's literally nothing we can do. 0.80

00:15:12.000 To get them to behave the way we want, they're going to do what they're going to do.

00:15:15.000 They're going to do what they want.

00:15:17.000 And it's actually imperative for Netanyahu that they don't stop in Lebanon.

00:15:21.000 It's imperative that they don't stop in Lebanon for its own sake, but also in the furtherance of sabotaging the Iran deal itself.

00:15:27.000 That's a goal in and of itself for them, too.

00:15:30.000 And they're both imperative for Netanyahu in particular, but any Israeli government in general, either.

00:15:35.000 You know, the craziest thing about that is like they struck this deal at the peak of the fighting in Lebanon when they were trying to take over that castle where the crusaders had historically fought.

00:15:45.000 Which has like a huge strategic benefit of like, you know, you can see literally the Lebanon, the, you know, the northern Israel, and then you can obviously see the border.

00:15:53.000 So it's like they were fighting at that point, right when Trump was in France trying to sign this deal.

00:15:56.000 So I was like, man, there's no way Israel's going to get back.

00:15:59.000 And they made it pretty far past the Latani River. 0.99

00:16:01.000 So I was like, no way.

00:16:02.000 And then, like you said, they have no incentive for this deal.

00:16:06.000 All of Israel got mad.

00:16:07.000 Even, you know, people were criticizing the Trump administration.

00:16:09.000 It's kind of funny how nobody said it by name, right?

00:16:11.000 Like, no one said Trump.

00:16:12.000 They're just like, oh, this is bad.

00:16:13.000 Even Mark Levin and all these other people.

00:16:14.000 The nice thing about Trump, they're just like, this bad deal is bad.

00:16:17.000 So it's like, I was like, there's no way this thing is going to last.

00:16:19.000 But yeah, like, I hate to blame it on Israel again, but it's like, that was the point that we couldn't deliver on, unfortunately. 0.87

00:16:26.000 And what did they do? 0.95

00:16:26.000 They completely sabotaged it. 0.95

00:16:28.000 I said that on my show.

00:16:28.000 Well, yeah, and it's funny.

00:16:30.000 I just saw that this is one of the clips that's still blown up on Instagram.

00:16:33.000 As I said, like, they're literally responsible for all the wars in the world. 0.57

00:16:36.000 At this point, it's just like undeniable because it's like, look, Iran, which is allegedly this regime of religious fanatics and zealots, and the Trump administration, they both want peace. 0.57

00:16:47.000 They signed the deal, they have the handshake, the rest of it. 0.52

00:16:50.000 It's Israel that is literally insistent on sabotaging this peace so they can have more war somewhere else. 0.63

00:16:57.000 So it's 100% falls on them. 0.88

00:16:59.000 And it's so deliberate.

00:17:00.000 And you remember the original ceasefire is in the first week of April.

00:17:05.000 And if you recall, it's so funny.

00:17:07.000 People just have this unbelievably short attention span.

00:17:10.000 We've been, technically speaking, in a ceasefire.

00:17:12.000 Like nominally, that's where the war is ever since the first week of April.

00:17:16.000 And if you remember the rollout of that ceasefire, Trump had been saying, We will annihilate Iranian civilization. 0.97

00:17:23.000 Like, we're going to kill everybody. 0.98

00:17:24.000 Power Plan Day. 0.98

00:17:25.000 Yeah.

00:17:26.000 Power Plan Day, Bridge Day.

00:17:28.000 And that was on Easter.

00:17:30.000 Like, hey, happy Easter. 0.99

00:17:31.000 Like, we're going to kill everybody. 0.99

00:17:32.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:17:34.000 And it was Easter.

00:17:35.000 And then 48 hours later was Tuesday.

00:17:37.000 And that is when Trump announced in the late evening he said, we've got this ceasefire.

00:17:43.000 They said, as long as Iran opens the strait, we're going to stop attacking them.

00:17:47.000 And then we'll begin a two week negotiation on the bigger issues, a nuclear issue.

00:17:52.000 And literally within two hours, Pakistan, which is the broker for the deal, and Iran both came out and they said, no, there's no ceasefire until there's a ceasefire on all fronts in Lebanon, too.

00:18:02.000 That was the first ceasefire in April.

00:18:05.000 And the following day, the U.S. called them liars.

00:18:07.000 The U.S. came out and said, no, Lebanon was never part of it.

00:18:10.000 We never agreed to that.

00:18:12.000 And it was not just Iran, but also Pakistan that said, no, you did agree to a ceasefire in Lebanon.

00:18:17.000 Now, the following day, Israel launched a major airstrike on Lebanon, killed 1,000 more people.

00:18:23.000 Literally the following day, when that was the issue in contention, Israel kills a thousand more people in Lebanon.

00:18:29.000 Insane. 0.64

00:18:29.000 And Iran comes out and they go, Yeah, okay, deal's off. 0.64

00:18:32.000 There's no basis to talk.

00:18:33.000 You're in violation of the deal.

00:18:35.000 And then they reclose the strait.

00:18:37.000 At that time, they had about 29, 30 ships at max going through the strait per day.

00:18:42.000 They shut it right back down by the weekend.

00:18:44.000 And then that is what created the current predicament, which is why we needed the MOU.

00:18:47.000 And it's literally now identical they announced the MOU.

00:18:51.000 Iran says Lebanon's a part of it.

00:18:53.000 We say, No, it's not. 0.99

00:18:54.000 Iran says, Yes, it is. 0.52

00:18:55.000 And then, literally, every single day, last week, Iran is bombing Lebanon, escalating, not just in the air, but also on the ground. 0.67

00:19:02.000 Yeah. 0.83

00:19:03.000 Invading, expanding the invasion, pushing further.

00:19:06.000 And the message is very clear.

00:19:07.000 It's like they're intentionally sabotaging the deal.

00:19:09.000 Yeah.

00:19:10.000 No, and it's insane.

00:19:11.000 What do you think drove Trump to actually do this deal in the face of, you know, obviously the embarrassment, the capitulation, the Israeli lobby, obviously, heavily, you know, pressuring him not to?

00:19:23.000 What do you think actually made him say, you know what, we got to do this MOU, even though I've been trying to delay it, but I got to do it?

00:19:28.000 See, oil.

00:19:29.000 It's a strategic petroleum reserve is running out, lowest level since 1983.

00:19:33.000 I think there's 350 million barrels left.

00:19:36.000 That's not a huge supply of oil.

00:19:38.000 And, you know, people don't realize that price was still doubled.

00:19:41.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:41.000 That's what I'm trying to tell people.

00:19:42.000 The price still doubled with all the strategic reserves out there.

00:19:45.000 Right.

00:19:45.000 And it's not even just ours, but it was this coordination of everybody dumping their strategic reserves all at the same time China, these other East Asian countries, us.

00:19:54.000 So the price was being artificially kept low because we're just dumping all this oil out there.

00:20:00.000 And, you know, there was some reporting before the MOU that said realistically, we got about four, maybe six weeks left before we have a real problem.

00:20:08.000 Like we have a supply problem that the reserves in America, and this is happening even right now, there's some reporting that.

00:20:15.000 At Cushing, which is in Oklahoma, where all the oil goes through, that is reaching this dangerously low level, about 19 million barrels.

00:20:22.000 And so it's just getting to the point where we're heading towards this catastrophic energy shortage, which then will just have a ripple effect throughout the entire global economy.

00:20:31.000 And so I think Trump said it's imperative.

00:20:32.000 We just got to give it up.

00:20:33.000 And ultimately, we ran out of options.

00:20:35.000 We ran out of time because of the oil.

00:20:38.000 There were no military cards left to play.

00:20:40.000 There was all this talk about. 1.00

00:20:41.000 Talk about that, please, because I got in an argument with an idiot the other day about this. 0.99

00:20:45.000 I was like, dude, we literally had no more cards to play. 0.99

00:20:47.000 Well, we could have took Arg Island.

00:20:48.000 I'm like.

00:20:49.000 Go ahead.

00:20:50.000 You want to talk about how we had no military car support?

00:20:52.000 It's totally insane.

00:20:53.000 I mean, even these guys like Mark Levin and Shapiro, they're out there saying, we need to bomb Karg Island and we need to do all these things.

00:21:00.000 And it's like, we can't even put a destroyer in the strait.

00:21:04.000 The strait is so narrow, it means that it's basically impossible.

00:21:08.000 And submarines can't get in there either.

00:21:10.000 Right.

00:21:11.000 And so you basically can't miss. 1.00

00:21:13.000 If an Iranian is launching a drone or a missile at a ship, you literally can't miss. 1.00

00:21:17.000 The ships are too slow. 0.99

00:21:19.000 The strait is too narrow and shallow.

00:21:21.000 We can't even get in there.

00:21:22.000 Karg Island is, I think, 12 square kilometers.

00:21:24.000 It's tiny. 1.00

00:21:26.000 And you have to know the Iranians would anticipate this. 1.00

00:21:29.000 So you start landing some Marines on there, it's going to get awful. 1.00

00:21:33.000 They talk about the Marines getting them on the MEUs.

00:21:35.000 And I was like, this is a suicide mission if he actually does this.

00:21:38.000 Like, what's going on here?

00:21:41.000 You know, and then the other thing, too, like I was trying to explain this, I was like, the only cards they really had left, realistically, was destroying energy infrastructure or a nuclear bomb.

00:21:48.000 That's really all you had left. 0.74

00:21:49.000 And if you do either of those, say goodbye to the Gulf states. 0.92

00:21:53.000 Yes. 0.98

00:21:53.000 Like, say goodbye. 0.98

00:21:54.000 They're going to destroy the desalination plants.

00:21:56.000 No water.

00:21:57.000 They're cooked.

00:21:57.000 Summertime in the Middle East.

00:22:00.000 Over.

00:22:01.000 So I can only imagine, like, I was thinking about this.

00:22:04.000 Imagine the Oval Office every day during the course of this conflict, like from Japan, from Indonesia, all these countries, the Gulf states, Trump, end the war, end the war.

00:22:14.000 He must have had an insane amount of international pressure to end this thing.

00:22:18.000 All of Europe.

00:22:19.000 Now they got to buy Russian oil.

00:22:20.000 Like, what's going on here?

00:22:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:22.000 Huge international pressure.

00:22:24.000 And you're right.

00:22:25.000 I mean, at the end of the day, it's like we just.

00:22:28.000 We had a set period of time where we had some options before we ran out of oil.

00:22:32.000 It's just that's really what it all comes back to the U.S. really underestimated Iran's ability to close the strait and sustain the closure of the strait basically indefinitely.

00:22:41.000 And you have this period of time where Trump thought we could bomb them into submission.

00:22:45.000 Then it was getting too costly even for us.

00:22:47.000 Bombing them was too costly for us because of how we were burning through the stockpile of interceptors and the damage it was doing to our bases in the Gulf.

00:22:55.000 It's just too many targets, can't defend all of them.

00:22:58.000 So then we transition to the strategy of the bluffing.

00:23:01.000 The economic blockade.

00:23:03.000 You know, we're just hoping there's some way we could trick these guys into a deal.

00:23:07.000 And then, yeah, you run out of oil.

00:23:08.000 That's it.

00:23:09.000 You know, it's the end of the rope.

00:23:11.000 I know Trump is a very difficult person to predict sometimes, et cetera.

00:23:14.000 But if there's someone that understands his thought process, because you've been spot on with a lot of your analysis, a lot of your predictions, you've been spot on.

00:23:21.000 What do you think his strategy was?

00:23:22.000 Like, let's go to February 27th.

00:23:26.000 Actually, we can even go back when Netanyahu came the 13th time to America and he sold Trump on the plan.

00:23:31.000 What do you think the plan was?

00:23:33.000 What was he trying to do?

00:23:34.000 What was the strategy?

00:23:35.000 What did he think was going to happen versus what actually happened?

00:23:38.000 Well, you know, you got to go back to really December, which is Netanyahu comes to Mar a Lago, I think December 27th.

00:23:45.000 For New Year's.

00:23:45.000 Exactly.

00:23:46.000 Yes.

00:23:47.000 And he came there with one intention.

00:23:49.000 It was widely reported at the time.

00:23:50.000 He said, look, we got to hit Iran again.

00:23:52.000 We got to hit the missiles.

00:23:53.000 He said, because Iran is building 300 ballistic missiles per month.

00:23:57.000 And what this is going to do is it's going to make it impossible for us to intervene. 0.51

00:24:01.000 And if they build up their missile stockpile, then they will get to work on excavating the highly enriched uranium, the centrifuges.

00:24:06.000 Then it's off to the races.

00:24:08.000 So Netanyahu said, we have to go back in, mow the grass, or defeat them once and for all.

00:24:12.000 Trump goes into Venezuela that first week in 2026, extradites Maduro.

00:24:17.000 It's this masterful operation.

00:24:19.000 No U.S. casualties. 1.00

00:24:20.000 We kill 100 of their guys, scoop them up. 1.00

00:24:23.000 He's feeling good. 0.99

00:24:24.000 Then you have those protests in Iran where they say 70,000 protesters were killed.

00:24:29.000 It's the most violent clashes ever.

00:24:31.000 It's just the number just kept going up and up.

00:24:33.000 First it was 20, then 30, then 40.

00:24:35.000 Then now they're saying, yeah, 50, 60, 70.

00:24:37.000 We've never seen that before, right?

00:24:39.000 October 7th, other things, right?

00:24:41.000 Like so.

00:24:41.000 So it's like, oh, think of the 100,000 protesters that were killed.

00:24:45.000 And what we later learned, by the way, is that those protesters in Iran, it wasn't really a spontaneous demonstration.

00:24:54.000 Where were the protests occurring? 0.61

00:24:55.000 It was all in Western Iran, where it's all the Kurds.

00:24:58.000 And anybody knows what's going on is that the Iraqi Kurdistan, headquartered in Erbil, has basically broken away from the central government in Baghdad.

00:25:07.000 That's where the U.S. still has all its bases.

00:25:09.000 Israel's very aligned with the Iraqi Kurds.

00:25:12.000 And they share a border then with Iran.

00:25:14.000 So there were reports at the time in January that there were men dressed in all black, fully automatic rifles, taking over government buildings, municipal buildings in Western Iran.

00:25:23.000 It was later reported about a month later that some of these Kurds were armed by the Israelis and by the CIA to cross over the border. 0.66

00:25:31.000 Effectively, it was an invasion.

00:25:32.000 And they were trying to stoke or spark a wider revolution.

00:25:37.000 They were going to kick it off.

00:25:38.000 While simultaneously crashing the Rial.

00:25:39.000 Yeah.

00:25:40.000 Which Bassett admitted that we crashed the Rial too.

00:25:43.000 And he did that with George Soros for.

00:25:44.000 For years.

00:25:44.000 That's how George Soros became so rich.

00:25:46.000 Exactly.

00:25:46.000 That's a great point.

00:25:47.000 That is a huge part of what triggered a big currency collapse and a run on the banks.

00:25:50.000 You're 100% right.

00:25:51.000 And so you had these huge protests going on into the middle of January.

00:25:56.000 And that's when Trump was saying, overthrow the government.

00:25:59.000 And they said that they were in the air, ready to go, ready to bomb Iran.

00:26:03.000 But they just didn't have the aircraft carriers mobilized because they were in Venezuela.

00:26:07.000 So Trump mobilized the fleet, brought the carrier, the armada to Iran.

00:26:12.000 There was another round of negotiations in mid February.

00:26:15.000 Kushner and Witkoff went out there.

00:26:17.000 Believe the negotiations were held in Turkey or Switzerland or something, or Oman.

00:26:17.000 I think.

00:26:21.000 There's a lot of debate about where and when it was going to happen.

00:26:24.000 And basically, the U.S. at the end said, Look, you give us everything, or else, or else we're coming.

00:26:30.000 And it's important, too, because me and Utah, it was no enrichment, ballistic missiles neutered to like 300, 400 kilometers, and then no funding of the proxies.

00:26:40.000 That was the original three. 0.59

00:26:42.000 Every Zionist comes in and says, No, dude, we just want to destroy their Navy and their Air Force. 0.68

00:26:46.000 I was like, Dude, no, now you're shifting the goalposts because you couldn't get what you wanted before. 0.71

00:26:50.000 It was no enrichment.

00:26:51.000 But then they're trying to say, like, no, we just didn't want them to have nukes.

00:26:54.000 No, it was zero enrichment.

00:26:55.000 I remember that vividly.

00:26:56.000 Except, well, and that's always been the sticking point.

00:26:58.000 And that was the ultimatum, as we said.

00:27:01.000 And the ultimatum even went outside the negotiations, because in the negotiations, the Iranians won't sit if it's anything other than the nuclear file. 0.63

00:27:09.000 They don't even want proxies and missiles on the table.

00:27:11.000 So they say that is outside the bounds of the discussion.

00:27:15.000 So Kushner and Witkoff, because Kushner wasn't even part of the negotiations last year and wasn't part of the first round in February, but he came for this ultimatum and they said, we're not playing around.

00:27:26.000 No enrichment, no proxies, no missiles, no nothing, or else we're coming.

00:27:31.000 The Iranians said, forget it.

00:27:33.000 And then that's when we went to war.

00:27:34.000 And so I think the mindset was basically a combination of exuberance because of the success in Venezuela, as well as maybe overestimating the pension to the Iranians that they're going to be able to overthrow the government.

00:27:46.000 And then I think the Israelis and Trump himself undersold the ability of Iran to close the strait, their willingness or ability to close the strait in a sustained way.

00:27:55.000 You know what the most disturbing thing was to me, man?

00:27:57.000 Like, the intelligence community told him, you are not going to be able to effectuate a regime change.

00:28:02.000 These guys are theocrats.

00:28:03.000 This is, you know, they're not going to, even if you kill, Ali Khamenei, you're not going to get the regime change you want, man.

00:28:10.000 This isn't Venezuela where you can pay off the bodyguards.

00:28:12.000 This is different.

00:28:13.000 And he went with it anyway.

00:28:15.000 And I don't know what the Massad told him during that meeting, but he clearly had to rely upon Israeli intelligence. 0.67

00:28:19.000 Like you said, the exuberance.

00:28:20.000 And the thing that's also the most disturbing is the diplomat guy from Oman, they had met on the 27th.

00:28:27.000 And they had a framework in place where it was almost like a better deal than JCPOA, where they weren't going to stockpile.

00:28:33.000 They're going to get rid of sunset clauses, whatever.

00:28:35.000 It was better than what Obama had in place.

00:28:37.000 And they still attacked anyway, which I'm like, oh, wow.

00:28:40.000 And it's like now. 0.98

00:28:42.000 You can make the argument that Iran is stronger than before. 0.59

00:28:45.000 100%. 0.89

00:28:46.000 There's no question. 0.84

00:28:47.000 And yeah, I think it was, it is this influence of Israel.

00:28:50.000 I mean, it was, Mike Waltz was a national security advisor up until like May last year, and he's an Israeli operative, you know?

00:28:56.000 So these are the people in Central Command.

00:28:58.000 These are the people in the DIA, in the NSA, the rest of it.

00:29:02.000 And you're right, in the buildup to the war, I remember there were a bunch of sources going to Politico and the Washington Post from the military, basically saying, Regime change isn't going to happen because that was like the tagline at the time.

00:29:15.000 As Trump said, we want a decisive, definitive confrontation, we want a clean decapitation strike, knock out the regime in one go.

00:29:24.000 They said it would last four days.

00:29:25.000 Yeah, I don't even remember, but like that first night, yeah, they said four days that's as long as it's going to go.

00:29:31.000 And I guess they literally didn't have a plan B. You know, okay, what if it doesn't work?

00:29:34.000 They close the straight and then they refuse to open it.

00:29:36.000 Okay, now what?

00:29:37.000 And that's literally the question we've been grappling with ever since is okay, we crossed the Rubicon, you killed the Supreme Leader, you killed half the regime.

00:29:46.000 You blew up all their stuff.

00:29:47.000 They closed the straight.

00:29:48.000 Now, what are you going to do?

00:29:50.000 And there's literally nothing we can do.

00:29:52.000 You know what kills me the most when he says, We have more reasonable people?

00:29:54.000 And I'm like, The guy that's in power right now is his son. 0.98

00:29:58.000 You killed his baby. 0.99

00:29:59.000 You killed his family. 0.99

00:30:00.000 That guy's going to be like, He's more reasonable. 0.99

00:30:02.000 Okay.

00:30:03.000 It's just insane to me because they killed all the people that didn't want a nuclear program.

00:30:07.000 And then Tosi Gabbert goes on and says, Oh, yeah, we keep assessing.

00:30:12.000 They don't have a nuclear bomb.

00:30:13.000 Obviously, she's a DNI.

00:30:14.000 She has a better read on the intel than even the president.

00:30:17.000 She's the one briefing him.

00:30:19.000 And.

00:30:20.000 It's just to say to me that, like, we still went in, right?

00:30:22.000 Because they asked him, I'll never forget, I think Trump was like on the tarmac.

00:30:25.000 Like, what do you think about what Tulsi Gaberson?

00:30:27.000 She doesn't know anything.

00:30:27.000 I was like, that's your DNI.

00:30:29.000 Like, what are you talking about? 0.68

00:30:30.000 She's the one that briefs you.

00:30:31.000 Like, what are you talking about, dude?

00:30:32.000 So, very clearly relied upon the Israelis and, like, the Israeli intelligence.

00:30:38.000 And what was I going to say?

00:30:40.000 And then, you know, and then I know you're not a fan of Kent, but, like, he comes out from the DNI as well, and he's saying the same thing.

00:30:45.000 And I'm like, well, these guys are, you know, have access to some of the most classified information in the country.

00:30:50.000 And they're over here saying, like, yeah, this is a problem.

00:30:52.000 Why are we striking?

00:30:53.000 Why are we getting involved in this war?

00:30:54.000 So, you know, you got people at very high levels of government that have, that honestly doesn't benefit them to take this position, right?

00:31:00.000 Like, Gabbard had to resign.

00:31:02.000 He had to resign, you know.

00:31:04.000 So I don't know.

00:31:05.000 Well, what happened with Kent was really interesting.

00:31:08.000 That's like a layer that not a lot of people even remember.

00:31:10.000 But if you recall, I forget what week we were.

00:31:13.000 He was very pro Israel.

00:31:14.000 He was.

00:31:15.000 He was.

00:31:17.000 But there's like an interesting connection there because I believe it was the middle of March.

00:31:21.000 Had to have been, yeah, something like March.

00:31:24.000 12th or 13th, or something like that.

00:31:26.000 The first government official to actually come out publicly against a war was David Sachs.

00:31:31.000 David Sachs, who is very close with JD Vance, very close with Peter Thiel, very close with Elon.

00:31:39.000 David Sachs is extremely powerful and a connector because it was at David Sachs' house where JD Vance hosted a tech fundraiser for Trump in June of 2024.

00:31:49.000 And that is some of the value that Vance brought to the table, which is why he became the vice president.

00:31:53.000 And so Sachs is like the conciliary for Vance, Thiel, Elon.

00:31:57.000 Also, very tight with Tucker Carlson as well.

00:32:00.000 He's part of that crew.

00:32:01.000 He's a PayPal mafia guy. 1.00

00:32:03.000 And, you know, he's better than some of the other PayPal mafia Jews. 1.00

00:32:06.000 He is a Jew. 1.00

00:32:07.000 Every time. 1.00

00:32:08.000 It's literally every fucking time. 0.99

00:32:12.000 But so he was the first one to come out. 0.99

00:32:15.000 He's the AI czar.

00:32:16.000 And now, the thing about that position is because of some statute, you can only have that position for 180 days or something like that before you go.

00:32:24.000 Because it's not confirmed with a separate.

00:32:25.000 Exactly.

00:32:26.000 So he was headed towards that.

00:32:26.000 Exactly.

00:32:29.000 Time limit expiring.

00:32:30.000 He was on his way out.

00:32:31.000 Then he got put on the science council, I think, about a few days later.

00:32:34.000 But he was the first one to come out and say the war in Iran needs to stop immediately.

00:32:38.000 That was on a Saturday.

00:32:39.000 Then it was literally a few days later that Joe Kent published his letter as the head of counterterrorism.

00:32:44.000 The following day, he went on Tucker Carlson and did this big interview.

00:32:48.000 And I said, wait a second.

00:32:49.000 So you got David Sachs, Joe Kent, Tucker.

00:32:53.000 You got this triangulation of people that are now criticizing the war from inside the regime.

00:32:57.000 Kent was backed by Teal.

00:32:59.000 In 2022.

00:33:00.000 When Kent ran for Congress in 2022 in Washington's 10th, I think it was, he got money from Peter Thiel because Kent was running in one of those Trump impeachment districts.

00:33:11.000 Back in 2021, there were 10 or 11 House Republicans that voted to impeach Trump.

00:33:15.000 Peter Thiel made it a mission to primary every single one of those people, and Kent was running in one of those districts.

00:33:21.000 Kent was in the CIA.

00:33:22.000 He's a CIA officer, right?

00:33:24.000 So I saw this triangulation of Sachs comes out first, then Kent, then Kent goes on Tucker.

00:33:30.000 What do these three people have in common?

00:33:31.000 They're all JD Vance guys.

00:33:33.000 Now, this war.

00:33:34.000 Puts Vance in a really bad position because I think everybody saw where this was going to go.

00:33:39.000 It's going to lead to an economic collapse, an energy shock, high inflation, the defeat in the midterm.

00:33:45.000 What was his position pre war?

00:33:46.000 I heard different stories.

00:33:47.000 Yeah, I heard different stories.

00:33:48.000 Some was like, no.

00:33:49.000 Some was like, hit him hard, but get out of there.

00:33:51.000 What do you think his actual position was?

00:33:53.000 So they said that Vance did not oppose.

00:33:56.000 He was in favor of hitting them. 0.99

00:33:58.000 If you're going to do it, hit him hard. 0.99

00:33:59.000 But he didn't oppose.

00:34:00.000 Because he talked about them literally on day one of the RNC.

00:34:03.000 I was like, why is he talking about Iraq?

00:34:03.000 I was there.

00:34:05.000 Dude, what the fuck? 1.00

00:34:06.000 When he first got appointed. 1.00

00:34:07.000 He talked about it twice in 2024. 0.55

00:34:09.000 He went to the Quincy Institute and said, We need a pro Israel version of America first, where we give Israel everything they need to bomb Iran.

00:34:16.000 And then at the RNC in July.

00:34:17.000 He punched him in the nose or something like that, if I recall.

00:34:19.000 Yeah, he said, You know, we can't just do these, you know, little pinprick strikes. 0.80

00:34:23.000 We need to hit him really hard.

00:34:24.000 And he volunteered that. 0.98

00:34:26.000 It's not like they said, What should we do about Iran?

00:34:28.000 They said, What do you think about foreign policy?

00:34:30.000 He said, We need to hit Iran really hard.

00:34:31.000 So, and then, you know, it's hard to know because Vance has rivals inside the White House who are going to leak to the press to make him look.

00:34:38.000 Bad about, you know, did he support it?

00:34:39.000 Did he not?

00:34:40.000 So it's sort of unreliable what you hear because these are planted stories.

00:34:44.000 But we know he didn't oppose.

00:34:46.000 When the war started, he disappeared.

00:34:48.000 He faded into the background because he knows when he runs for president in the primary in 27 and 28, they're going to say, you know, war in Iran, what happened there?

00:34:57.000 You know, energy shock, inflation.

00:34:59.000 Why are we doing no new wars, man?

00:35:00.000 And you ran on that.

00:35:01.000 Exactly.

00:35:01.000 And what did you do?

00:35:02.000 Why didn't you oppose it, et cetera?

00:35:04.000 And I think that what happened with Sachs, Kent, and Tucker is they are trying to.

00:35:10.000 Help extricate him from the liability of the conflict.

00:35:14.000 They're going to try and give him an out.

00:35:15.000 And Tucker's got this interesting line.

00:35:17.000 He's been interviewed a few times recently, New York Times with the British journalist, with Jack Neal, somebody else the other day.

00:35:24.000 And they say, so what do you think about Vance?

00:35:26.000 And Tucker has this habit of saying, oh, well, you know, he's got the hardest position in the world because, you know, we all voted for Trump and placed all our hopes upon him.

00:35:34.000 And, you know, Vance just has to do whatever Trump says.

00:35:36.000 If Trump betrays the voters and takes us to war, Vance's job is to support Trump.

00:35:40.000 So he really has no choice in the matter.

00:35:42.000 Even if he opposes it and it's bad, well, you know, what can he do?

00:35:46.000 It's just so unfortunate.

00:35:47.000 And what that belies is they don't want him to catch the blame for this next year.

00:35:54.000 And I think now, This is why Vance is throwing himself in front of the peace process.

00:35:58.000 This is why he wants to be the guy in Islamabad.

00:36:01.000 He wants to be the guy at Switzerland that's negotiating the MOU because this is going to be a huge liability, a huge hot potato they're going to have to neutralize in 27. 0.60

00:36:11.000 Because they're going to be asked, okay, Iran war, what did you do?

00:36:14.000 Completely split the base, dude, this war.

00:36:16.000 Yes.

00:36:16.000 And his answer is going to need to be something like, well, my job was to support the president.

00:36:21.000 I had no say in the matter.

00:36:23.000 As the vice president, my job is to do what he tells me.

00:36:26.000 But what I did is I brokered the peace.

00:36:29.000 And I was instrumental in ending it and blah, blah.

00:36:32.000 And then the endorsements from Kent, Tucker, and Sachs are going to become critical because all these people that are furious about the war and are leaving the GOP because of it, they're now aligned with Tucker and Kent and saying, oh, these guys are patriots.

00:36:46.000 They're criticizing it.

00:36:47.000 If those guys come around and endorse Vance, it's like, oh, okay, he's cool.

00:36:50.000 I see what you're saying.

00:36:51.000 He can't criticize the war.

00:36:52.000 They're creating his off ramp right now, is what you're saying.

00:36:54.000 Yes, yes.

00:36:55.000 They're trying to salvage him.

00:36:57.000 So that's what's going on there.

00:36:59.000 So.

00:37:00.000 No, that's very interesting that you say that.

00:37:01.000 So, do you think that was kind of like the first?

00:37:04.000 Sachs was like, you know what? 0.68

00:37:04.000 Because, I mean, obviously he's a big Zionist, right? 0.68

00:37:06.000 Like, he benefits from the Iran war, right? 0.89

00:37:08.000 Because he loves Israel.

00:37:09.000 But you're saying, like, hey, I still got to protect my guy.

00:37:14.000 I'm going to be the first domino to kind of, hey, this is an issue.

00:37:16.000 We need to get out of this war, et cetera.

00:37:18.000 And then obviously trickle back.

00:37:19.000 Because people forget that Tucker was one of the main guys that told Trump to put Vance on, wasn't he?

00:37:24.000 Yeah.

00:37:24.000 Oh, 100%.

00:37:25.000 Yeah.

00:37:25.000 It was Tucker and Elon and Don Jr.

00:37:29.000 Some say Peter Thiel.

00:37:30.000 Others deny that. 0.97

00:37:31.000 I think those people are liars. 0.90

00:37:32.000 I think that. 0.88

00:37:33.000 Peter Thiel definitely had influence over that.

00:37:35.000 He had so much money, and of course he would have put him in.

00:37:36.000 There's a lot of rumors.

00:37:38.000 Some say that Peter Thiel basically left politics after 22 because his boyfriend killed himself.

00:37:45.000 Yeah, of course he killed himself, right?

00:37:49.000 Of course.

00:37:50.000 His boyfriend killed himself, threw himself out of the 50th floor balcony. 1.00

00:37:58.000 It's like, damn, bro. 1.00

00:37:59.000 You couldn't get a better excuse than that one, man. 0.99

00:38:01.000 Just say the Mossad did or something. 1.00

00:38:02.000 Damn. 0.99

00:38:03.000 Well, it is interesting because I've heard this story. 0.99

00:38:05.000 So.

00:38:06.000 So, Peter Thiel had this boyfriend.

00:38:09.000 So, he's married to a guy, but he had this boyfriend on the side, and the husband wasn't happy about it.

00:38:13.000 And I guess the press is like haunting Thiel because Thiel's like a big Trump booster. 0.99

00:38:19.000 So, they are up everybody's ass that's like pro Republican. 0.98

00:38:22.000 And he's a Silicon Valley guy, huge betrayal. 0.98

00:38:24.000 What are you doing?

00:38:25.000 Well, and he's like the first mover right wing guy in Silicon Valley because everybody in Silicon Valley is super liberal.

00:38:30.000 That's why the endorsement in 24, like you were mentioning, was so huge for Trump, dude.

00:38:33.000 He gave the money.

00:38:34.000 And even in 16, Thiel was there in 16, which is unbelievable.

00:38:37.000 He gave him money back then.

00:38:39.000 Trump was like, People forget that, like, I guess people forget now, but like, Trump was facing like four criminal cases.

00:38:44.000 Yeah.

00:38:44.000 Like, two federal, two state.

00:38:47.000 The federal cases were, you know, you had the document case out of South Florida here.

00:38:51.000 That one was, I think, the worst one.

00:38:53.000 I think, like, he could have easily gone to jail for that one, which is ironic. 1.00

00:38:56.000 Bolton said, You got to kill those traitors. 0.99

00:38:58.000 Now he just got convicted of funding. 1.00

00:38:59.000 We can talk about that later, but sorry, continue on.

00:39:01.000 So, yeah, you're talking about Peter Thiel.

00:39:02.000 But, yeah, so the press is all, you know, Peter Thiel's in this war with the press because the press outed him.

00:39:08.000 So then he destroyed Gawker because they outed him as gay.

00:39:10.000 And then years later, They kind of were all over the boyfriend.

00:39:14.000 They were all over the sneaky link or whatever.

00:39:17.000 And, you know, we're not really sure what happened there because there's one story where they say the press drove the boyfriend to suicide because they were harassing him.

00:39:27.000 Because basically, what happened is the press got the boyfriend to say things in an interview that Peter Thiel didn't want people to know.

00:39:34.000 And so maybe that would have invited retaliation from Thiel or maybe that would have gotten him in trouble.

00:39:39.000 There's one story which says that thus the boyfriend was so distraught because of these problems that he killed himself.

00:39:46.000 Or, you know, some people allege that, you know, it's sort of mysterious.

00:39:50.000 Maybe.

00:39:51.000 He was killed to cover up some secrets or something.

00:39:54.000 Who, I honest to God, don't know.

00:39:56.000 But they say that Teal was basically so despondent about this.

00:40:00.000 He sees it as such a tragedy that he just left politics after 22.

00:40:03.000 And so in 24, he made some public appearances and basically said, I'm done with politics, you know, because they said, your boy is the vice president.

00:40:11.000 What do you think about that?

00:40:12.000 And Teal said, Oh, you know, I'm not really looking at the outcome.

00:40:16.000 I don't really care that much.

00:40:17.000 I'm not involved.

00:40:18.000 And so there are a lot of people around Teal that say that he's just not in the mix anymore.

00:40:23.000 I'm not sure how much I believe that, though.

00:40:25.000 So that's sort of interesting, but I'm just saying that's what I've heard in that world.

00:40:29.000 I remember, I think someone asked him about lavender at like, I think it was Oxford or something like that.

00:40:33.000 And he's just like, all the further Israel government.

00:40:36.000 And it's just like, okay, dude, like, all right, whatever. 0.73

00:40:39.000 So I guess we could go right into, let's pull up the thing real fast with Lebanon. 0.64

00:40:42.000 We'll show this video real fast of them like striking the deal because we talked about Lebanon and how that was really the only thing that we didn't have control of. 0.88

00:40:48.000 And then, of course, the Israelis had control of it. 0.82

00:40:50.000 And what did they do? 1.00

00:40:51.000 They completely cooked it.

00:40:52.000 We'll play this clip real quick.

00:40:53.000 And, um, This is them right here.

00:40:55.000 This is Marco Rubio brokering this.

00:40:57.000 And I remember they had a meeting like this a couple months back, if I'm not mistaken, which Rubio also brokered it as well.

00:41:01.000 I mean, this is a big deal.

00:41:02.000 It says right here Justin, Secretary Rubio just brokered a framework agreement for a peace between Israel and Lebanon right here in D.C. America, Israel, Lebanon are all signatories.

00:41:10.000 Immediate steps include the Israeli military withdrawing from small areas from southern Lebanon that it currently occupies.

00:41:16.000 We could play the clip real quick.

00:41:17.000 You put the audio as well.

00:41:20.000 God bless Israel. 0.94

00:41:22.000 May God bless Lebanon.

00:41:24.000 May God bless the United States of America and all those who pursue peace.

00:41:28.000 Thank you.

00:41:29.000 you They got a woman signing for Lebanon? 1.00

00:41:39.000 Cooked. 1.00

00:41:41.000 Oh, man.

00:41:42.000 Yeah, cooked. 1.00

00:41:45.000 I was literally going to say fuck. 1.00

00:41:48.000 Yeah, it's cooked. 0.99

00:41:51.000 So, yeah, what are your thoughts on that, Nick?

00:41:52.000 I mean, obviously, with this deal, they're riding right now in Lebanon.

00:41:56.000 Can we get the video of that, by the way, Moe, if you don't mind?

00:41:58.000 Pull it up, them riding in Lebanon.

00:42:00.000 Like, literally, they're going, and I think they just drove to the PM's house.

00:42:03.000 They just, yeah, let me get the link.

00:42:03.000 Really?

00:42:05.000 I'll get, yeah, but, yeah, what are your thoughts on that?

00:42:07.000 Well, it's really interesting because, so.

00:42:10.000 The 14 point MOU specifically says there was a lot of like, there were a lot of questions about what the MOU specifically said about Lebanon.

00:42:19.000 Oh, we can pull it up too as well.

00:42:21.000 I have it.

00:42:21.000 Yeah.

00:42:23.000 You know, because initially, like I said, the Iranians leaked to the press that it's a ceasefire in Lebanon.

00:42:28.000 And I remember on my show, I said, well, first of all, is that true?

00:42:32.000 Second of all, what does the ceasefire in Lebanon look like?

00:42:35.000 Because the Israelis are engaged in an air campaign in Lebanon.

00:42:39.000 They're bombing southern Lebanon where Hezbollah is forward deployed with artillery and rockets.

00:42:44.000 But Israel's also bombing the capital Beirut in central Lebanon, which is where Hezbollah's headquarters is in the southern suburbs.

00:42:50.000 And so not only are they doing this air campaign in Beirut, but also in southern Lebanon, they also are on the ground in southern Lebanon. 0.57

00:42:57.000 They've invaded too.

00:42:59.000 And so I said, when the MOU first happened, is it a ceasefire? 0.60

00:43:02.000 Does that mean no airstrikes in Beirut, but they can keep going in southern Lebanon?

00:43:07.000 Or does it mean no airstrikes altogether?

00:43:10.000 Does it mean no airstrikes and they have to withdraw?

00:43:13.000 Or does it mean just no airstrikes, but they could remain in their current position in southern Lebanon?

00:43:18.000 You know, what exactly does that mean?

00:43:20.000 Well, then we finally got the terms of the agreement, and the terms said national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon.

00:43:27.000 That is about as expansive of a ceasefire as you can get, because obviously, if a country's occupying your territory and bombing you, you don't have territorial integrity.

00:43:36.000 You don't have national sovereignty. 0.74

00:43:38.000 So, what that means is Israel's got to leave. 0.53

00:43:40.000 They got to withdraw and they got to stop bombing altogether for the most part.

00:43:44.000 So, this was the subject of these negotiations in Switzerland last week between the U.S. and Iran.

00:43:49.000 So, then.

00:43:50.000 The U.S. is going to host these negotiations from last Tuesday until today.

00:43:54.000 It was supposed to be till Thursday, but they extended it today between Lebanon and Israel, brokered by Rubio.

00:44:00.000 What's interesting is Rubio gave a statement during these talks, and Rubio said in a press conference, he goes, The terms of the MOU say territorial integrity and sovereignty.

00:44:11.000 He goes, Well, it's not territorial integrity when Iran backs Hezbollah in Lebanon.

00:44:16.000 You see?

00:44:17.000 He goes, Because Hezbollah, that's not the armed forces of Lebanon, it's a non state actor, a militant group.

00:44:23.000 Operating without the ascent of the government in Beirut. 0.79

00:44:26.000 So, this is what they do.

00:44:28.000 They turn it around and they say, no, no, Israel doesn't have to withdraw. 0.70

00:44:31.000 Iran has to withdraw. 0.86

00:44:32.000 Iran is the one violating. 0.83

00:44:33.000 So, now read this 14 point thing with Lebanon that just came out.

00:44:38.000 What it says is Lebanon has to disarm Hezbollah.

00:44:42.000 Pull it up for them so you can reference it.

00:44:44.000 Is there a specific one?

00:44:45.000 Make it big so Nick can see it.

00:44:47.000 All right.

00:44:48.000 There we go.

00:44:49.000 Is there a point that you want me to highlight here?

00:44:51.000 So, it says, number four, Hezbollah and all other non state armed groups must be fully and verifiably disarmed.

00:44:56.000 Yep.

00:44:56.000 That's never going to happen.

00:44:57.000 Never.

00:44:58.000 Okay.

00:44:58.000 Because Lebanon passed a law under pressure from France, the U.S., and Israel last year that said they're going to disarm Hezbollah.

00:45:04.000 And they can't because Hezbollah is more powerful than the Lebanese armed forces.

00:45:07.000 And so Israel's been insistent that Lebanon do this, and they haven't.

00:45:12.000 And that was actually Israel's pretext to reinvade and violate the ceasefire that's been in place since November 24. 0.71

00:45:18.000 So the reason they have this memorandum, this is effectively like passing the ball back to Iran. 0.51

00:45:25.000 And what they're effectively saying in this agreement is they're saying, Okay, you want a ceasefire in Lebanon? 0.60

00:45:30.000 Well, you know, you first. 0.52

00:45:33.000 You want Israel to withdraw from the territory south of the Latani River? 0.63

00:45:36.000 Well, then Lebanon's going to have to disarm Hezbollah. 0.85

00:45:38.000 And if Lebanon doesn't do that, then you're in violation of the deal, and we're not going to hold up our end of the bar. 0.90

00:45:43.000 So this is them just kicking the ball back to Iran and saying, okay, you want to play this game about sovereignty and territorial integrity? 0.61

00:45:52.000 You're going to have to do these things. 0.82

00:45:54.000 And all that does is it just serves as a legal justification to remain in Lebanon and continue to violate the MOU. 0.93

00:46:02.000 Because the MOU says Israel out. 0.75

00:46:04.000 These new terms say, well, Israel doesn't go. 0.83

00:46:07.000 Until all these other conditions are met. 0.86

00:46:09.000 Oh, those conditions are met.

00:46:10.000 Well, then we're not leaving.

00:46:11.000 Because it also says Israel is going to remain in the security zone until the threat is neutralized.

00:46:16.000 Well, the threat's never going to be neutralized, so they're never going to leave the security zone. 0.82

00:46:21.000 So consequently, the war between Israel and Hezbollah will continue. 0.71

00:46:25.000 This ceasefire is. 0.82

00:46:27.000 It's funny how the MOU formalized the bullshit ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. 0.96

00:46:32.000 This 14 point plan formalizes the bullshit ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which already existed on the same terms. 0.97

00:46:39.000 So it's more of the same. 0.87

00:46:41.000 And we could pull up this clip right here.

00:46:43.000 Like, they're not happy about it, obviously, in Lebanon.

00:46:46.000 The last video I got right here.

00:46:48.000 Yeah, here it goes.

00:46:49.000 It says breaking.

00:46:50.000 Scroll up real quick to the Lebanese protesters surround PM Nawaf's office, calling him a Zionist.

00:46:57.000 Glorious two star Syrian flag at the rally.

00:46:59.000 So, yeah, obviously, the resistance powers are not happy about this.

00:47:03.000 We could hit play real quick and show.

00:47:04.000 Yeah, this is all over the world.

00:47:08.000 Khalil Yad.

00:47:11.000 Khalil Yad.

00:47:25.000 You can pause it.

00:47:26.000 And, like, you know, it's kind of crazy because it's like people forget, like, the Lebanese army is like terrified of Hezbollah because, like, they have more influence.

00:47:32.000 And it's like half, I think, if I'm not mistaken, of the Lebanese army is Shiite. 0.65

00:47:36.000 So it's like they're not going to, they're not going to, there's going to, the military leader, I think he's a Christian guy, the head of the military, but he even said, I'm not going to try to fight these guys. 0.90

00:47:44.000 Like, what are you talking about? 0.78

00:47:44.000 And then the other thing, too, is like why they have so much support is because, like, they have fought the Israelis. 0.78

00:47:48.000 They're the reason why the Israelis have not taken over southern Lebanon. 0.85

00:47:51.000 They were the ones, I think, in 2000, they successfully got them out of there. 0.98

00:47:55.000 And then Hassan Oshal gave, like, the famous, like, spiderweb speech. 0.89

00:47:59.000 And then, like, that's why everyone in the Middle East, like, they support Hezbollah. 0.76

00:48:03.000 So it's like, there's no way that they're ever going to disarm. 0.86

00:48:06.000 Because they look at it like Israel's going to continue to invade us. 0.98

00:48:08.000 If we disarm, they're going to invade and take the southern part anyway. 0.95

00:48:11.000 Exactly. 0.91

00:48:11.000 Well, Hezbollah is protecting, effectively, Lebanon from Israel. 0.91

00:48:15.000 And the other thing is, Israel is actively antagonizing Lebanon with their rhetoric.

00:48:20.000 It's the same stuff that they would do with Iran.

00:48:23.000 I remember last year when we entered negotiations with Iran, the following day, Israel came out, Netanyahu came out.

00:48:29.000 And said, well, the only deal we will accept is if we blow up their nuclear centrifuges.

00:48:33.000 That's the only deal, that's the only nuclear disarmament we will tolerate. 0.86

00:48:37.000 And what this is meant to do is provoke and antagonize the Iranians into thinking, we can't trust the U.S., we can't make an agreement without lowering our guard. 0.67

00:48:45.000 That's the big concern, is becoming vulnerable. 0.63

00:48:49.000 What Israel says about Lebanon is, we're going to give them the Gaza treatment.

00:48:52.000 That's literally what their ministers say.

00:48:54.000 They said, what's our plan for Lebanon?

00:48:55.000 Do what we did in Gaza.

00:48:56.000 And what did they do in Gaza? 0.98

00:48:58.000 They bombed the shit out of them. 0.89

00:49:00.000 And then they invaded along the entire border and established a security perimeter, this like buffer zone, that they have now effectively annexed. 0.71

00:49:06.000 And they're doing that so that they can reassure the people of southern Israel that they'll not be invaded by Hamas or attacked by the rockets. 0.54

00:49:14.000 It's the same mentality in southern Lebanon, which is how is Israel going to restore confidence and allow the people of their northern settlements to return to the northern border of Israel? 0.83

00:49:24.000 We got to push everyone in Lebanon 10 kilometers north inside their own country and establish that buffer zone. 0.75

00:49:30.000 So, You know, the Lebanese are getting bombed in Beirut. 0.91

00:49:32.000 They're getting bombed in the southern villages and communities.

00:49:35.000 So they're saying the only thing that's protecting us is 100,000 rockets from Hezbollah, however many fighters they have.

00:49:41.000 So, yeah, that's why you got protests because, and the Israelis know that.

00:49:46.000 So they're permanently sabotaging a ceasefire here to sabotage the ceasefire in Iran. 0.80

00:49:50.000 Yeah, and it's kind of interesting because that's a good point.

00:49:53.000 Let's pull up that 14 point memo because, like, guys, this one kind of like counteracts the first one they signed, which is kind of crazy because you're right about that.

00:50:01.000 We'll go through it real quick the 14 lines.

00:50:03.000 Can you make it big on mine?

00:50:04.000 Okay, we got here.

00:50:05.000 End the conflict and formally transition toward a cessation of hostilities.

00:50:08.000 Israel withdraw from Lebanon in phases continued on evolving security conditions.

00:50:13.000 And obviously, Nick Stami, if you want to comment on any of these, the Lebanese armed forces will progressively assume full responsibility for national security.

00:50:20.000 They could barely hold the border down, dude.

00:50:22.000 Come on, man.

00:50:24.000 And this is the big one.

00:50:25.000 Hezbollah and all other non state armed groups must be fully and verifiably disarmed.

00:50:29.000 That's never going to happen.

00:50:30.000 Nope.

00:50:31.000 Israel affirms it has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon and will withdraw once security threats are resolved.

00:50:36.000 That's.

00:50:37.000 It's always these little things like, well, once security conditions change.

00:50:40.000 Okay.

00:50:41.000 I mean, that's the ambiguity they're going to use.

00:50:44.000 Lebanon reaffirms the state's exclusive authority to maintain armed forces and declare war. 0.92

00:50:49.000 I mean, that should make them feel better, I guess.

00:50:51.000 Right.

00:50:52.000 This one actually concerns me.

00:50:54.000 A U.S. backed coordination and verification mechanism will oversee implementation.

00:50:58.000 Do you think this means boots on the ground, Nick?

00:51:00.000 No, I don't think so.

00:51:01.000 I mean, you know, because they talked about this.

00:51:03.000 There's a word they use for it, I forget, but they established this mechanism in Switzerland for the MOU.

00:51:08.000 Okay.

00:51:09.000 So, I don't think that. 0.80

00:51:10.000 I mean, there's already boots on the ground, I believe, defending Israel anyway. 0.85

00:51:13.000 Yeah.

00:51:13.000 They deployed them last year, so.

00:51:16.000 Yes, like special forces and stuff like that.

00:51:17.000 Yes, yes, yes.

00:51:18.000 A lot of people don't know.

00:51:19.000 Yes.

00:51:20.000 Both parties commit to sovereign, stable Lebanon free from armed groups threatening either side.

00:51:26.000 Nine, the U.S. will support and strengthen the Lebanese armed forces with assistance tied to verified progress.

00:51:31.000 That's interesting.

00:51:34.000 Let's see here.

00:51:34.000 Ten, the U.S. will lead coordination, international reconstruction, humanitarian aid, and economic recovery efforts.

00:51:40.000 That's probably a big one why they agreed to this as well.

00:51:43.000 They probably want to get some of that aid to rebuild Beirut back up because Israelis really demolished significant portions of it. 0.64

00:51:49.000 11.

00:51:50.000 Lebanon and U.S. will ensure that aid and reconstruction funds do not reach Hezbollah or other groups.

00:51:56.000 Okay.

00:51:56.000 Yeah.

00:51:57.000 12.

00:51:57.000 Israel and Lebanon will establish working groups to negotiate a comprehensive peace and security framework.

00:52:02.000 13.

00:52:02.000 Both sides will cease hostile political and legal actions to cooperate under return of detainees and remains.

00:52:09.000 14.

00:52:09.000 Israel and Lebanon acknowledge the U.S. role and express appreciation for Donald Trump.

00:52:14.000 Love it.

00:52:15.000 That one is just like, you know, the constant need for Trump to be glazed all the time is kind of crazy, bro.

00:52:20.000 Yeah.

00:52:21.000 And Netanyahu knows this.

00:52:22.000 What do you think about the Israeli elections that are coming in?

00:52:25.000 Obviously, he's up for re election this fall.

00:52:28.000 Big deal.

00:52:29.000 They're in the middle of multiple conflicts. 1.00

00:52:31.000 I think Naftali Bennett is going to be the challenger.

00:52:34.000 What do you think about that?

00:52:36.000 Well, so the elections have to be held on October 27th at the latest.

00:52:40.000 And what they say is that some of the new polling suggests that Netanyahu has lost majority support or his coalition has.

00:52:47.000 However, the question is going to be whether the opposition can create a viable government.

00:52:52.000 That's always the question.

00:52:53.000 Will they be able to cobble together a majority of seats that are all going to be able to work together to oust him?

00:52:59.000 And that's the question.

00:53:00.000 I don't know if there's going to be any leader that's going to be able to consolidate.

00:53:04.000 But of course, it's heavily dependent on the outcome of all this.

00:53:07.000 If Netanyahu is seen as weak, if he's giving up Lebanon, if Iran is able to normalize relations with the U.S., obviously Netanyahu will be seen as a failure.

00:53:15.000 Because, you know, think about this is his baby.

00:53:18.000 They see Netanyahu as strong, he's able to defend Israel.

00:53:22.000 His reputation is not fully recovered from October 7th because a lot of Israelis put the blame on him.

00:53:27.000 They say, You're the Likud party.

00:53:29.000 Your job is to be the strong man and protect us.

00:53:32.000 What happened there?

00:53:33.000 That's one.

00:53:34.000 And then two, so now we're in this bid to.

00:53:37.000 Can you let it happen?

00:53:38.000 Oh, without a doubt.

00:53:39.000 Without a doubt.

00:53:40.000 Because that's what's justified all this, which is terraforming their periphery in Gaza, West Bank, South Lebanon, Syria for that matter, Iran, Yemen, you know, this eight front war, seven, eight front war that they're on.

00:53:51.000 And so.

00:53:52.000 You were talking about his political ambition.

00:53:54.000 My bad.

00:53:54.000 You were talking about the security and how he's getting hit in Israel.

00:53:56.000 Right.

00:53:56.000 So it's one, it's October 7th, but also then the whole idea was never again.

00:54:02.000 How do we prevent October 7th? 0.95

00:54:03.000 We're going to eradicate Hamas, eradicate Hezbollah. 0.99

00:54:06.000 We're going to decapitate Iran.

00:54:08.000 If none of these things happen, then Israelis are going to say, look at everything we've lost, which is to say, we've been isolated in the world. 0.93

00:54:14.000 Everyone hates us now.

00:54:15.000 We've been alienated from the U.S. Was it worth it?

00:54:19.000 If we haven't achieved those objectives in Iran, Lebanon, and elsewhere, then the answer is no. 0.65

00:54:24.000 If anything, Iran is more powerful. 0.94

00:54:26.000 The Hezbollah threat has not been meaningfully dealt with. 0.95

00:54:30.000 For that matter, neither has Hamas.

00:54:31.000 And so I think Israelis are going to look at him as basically a failure.

00:54:34.000 And the more that it goes in that direction, the worse his prospects are going to be.

00:54:38.000 So this is why Netanyahu is hell bent on sabotaging peace here.

00:54:42.000 All right, guys, we're going to switch on over to Kik here in a second.

00:54:46.000 I'm going to get off JTube here in a second.

00:54:48.000 So let's get ready to get off YouTube.

00:54:51.000 Let me ask you this, Nick.

00:54:52.000 As someone who's like, you know, you've been talking about this for a very long time, one of the pioneers in this space, and enough people don't give you.

00:54:58.000 People don't give you enough credit for that.

00:55:03.000 How crazy is this for you to see it from the beginning where it's like you couldn't even talk about this topic, man?

00:55:07.000 Like you couldn't even utter Zionism or Israel or foreign policy at all with this stuff. 0.98

00:55:12.000 You would be ostracized, looked at as like ridiculous. 1.00

00:55:15.000 You're a terrorist abortor or you're anti Semitic. 0.99

00:55:18.000 Like, how nuts is it to see Israel being completely geopolitically isolated, like the way it is now? 0.67

00:55:26.000 I never thought it would happen, honestly, because I always thought that was the one thing no one was ever going to talk about because it's just too.

00:55:31.000 I mean, you know how it was even three years ago when we did the show for the first time.

00:55:36.000 You remember, I didn't.

00:55:36.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:37.000 Demonetized articles written on us, like, you know, Right Wing Watch, Media Matters, SPLC, they all came after us, right?

00:55:43.000 Like, look, Holocaust deniers, et cetera, right?

00:55:46.000 So, you know.

00:55:47.000 And that was late in the game.

00:55:48.000 That was only three years ago.

00:55:49.000 Yeah.

00:55:50.000 So it's really unbelievable how quickly it's all October 7th, obviously, but like it's just shocking.

00:55:55.000 Not only that it has happened at all, but just how quickly it was just like overnight.

00:55:59.000 I did this from 17 to 23, basically, and realistically, there wasn't a ton of movement at all.

00:56:06.000 There wasn't a mass awakening, anything looking like that.

00:56:09.000 And then literally all at once, it just flipped.

00:56:12.000 And now the biggest podcasters like Tucker, Candace, Megan Kelly, Theo Vaughn, Joe Rogan, who's the other?

00:56:18.000 Tim Dillon.

00:56:19.000 It's like, Literally, Joe Rogan still dances around it, but you know, for the size of his program, he's definitely not pro Israel, which is really interesting.

00:56:28.000 You're right, it's lately he's like, I mean, like, uh, you know, he brought, um, you know, Ian Carroll on, and Ian Carroll talked about like the dancing Israelis.

00:56:35.000 I was like, what the, I was like, shocking, I was Dave Smith a bunch of times as well.

00:56:39.000 So, I was like, I was shocked when like, I was like, oh wow, like he mentioned dancing Israelis on JRE.

00:56:44.000 This is insane, yeah, this was like considered like a fringe conspiracy theory for years, and like now people are figuring out that like.

00:56:51.000 Israel had foreknowledge of 9 11, significant evidence to show it.

00:56:54.000 So it's wild, dude. 0.98

00:56:56.000 And like I said before, someone like you who like blackballed, demonetized, banned everywhere, debanked, et cetera, it's like vindicated, man.

00:57:05.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 I mean, it would feel good, but then it's like, I don't know.

00:57:11.000 Sometimes I'm just like, you know, once it's very satisfying to see people say, oh, he was right all along.

00:57:17.000 On the other hand, I'm not even getting a ton of credit.

00:57:20.000 Like, you know, a lot of people now that have come to the scene. 0.98

00:57:23.000 Are like, now they're calling me the fucking chill. 0.92

00:57:26.000 Yeah, it's kind of crazy when I hear people say that. 0.98

00:57:28.000 Yeah, and we don't even get it.

00:57:30.000 It's kind of crazy because they'll say that. 0.98

00:57:31.000 I'm like, do you not realize how much this guy's lost about this fucking topic? 0.99

00:57:34.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:57:35.000 Are you fucking serious? 1.00

00:57:36.000 It's nuts. 0.99

00:57:37.000 It's like, a lot of times they'll give a talk about it.

00:57:40.000 I'm like, wait, Nick said that first.

00:57:41.000 You know what I mean?

00:57:42.000 So it's crazy when people don't give their flowers or don't talk about it.

00:57:46.000 So it's like insane to me.

00:57:47.000 But it's like, I will say this. 0.99

00:57:50.000 Even though fuck the progressives in the left, I will say that them talking about this has helped. 0.99

00:57:57.000 Totally. 0.99

00:57:57.000 Because one thing that I've realized, are we off YouTube yet? 0.99

00:58:01.000 All right, yeah, let's get off YouTube.

00:58:03.000 Let's get off YouTube.

00:58:04.000 Let's go straight to Kick and, you know, Kick and Rumble, obviously, cool.

00:58:08.000 Yeah, guys, come on over.

00:58:09.000 Kick.com slash Myron Gaines X. Kick.com slash Myron Gaines X. We're going to have, obviously, After Hours with Girls 2 with Nick.

00:58:14.000 It's going to be fantastic.

00:58:14.000 It's just going to be me and Nick tonight, man.

00:58:16.000 Pause.

00:58:16.000 So it's going to be a good time, okay?

00:58:18.000 So I don't want to hear no bitching about anything.

00:58:20.000 It's just, it's the Nick and Fitch show, okay?

00:58:23.000 What was I going to say?

00:58:26.000 You guys switching?

00:58:27.000 Okay. 0.99

00:58:28.000 Damn, I lost my train of thought. 1.00

00:58:29.000 Fuck it. 1.00

00:58:31.000 We still got a bunch of stuff to talk about anyway, so it's all good. 1.00

00:58:34.000 I was talking about the.

00:58:36.000 Before, I was talking about the. 1.00

00:58:39.000 Shit. 1.00

00:58:43.000 Oh, the progressives. 1.00

00:58:44.000 Oh, yes, yes, the progressives.

00:58:45.000 Are we good? 1.00

00:58:46.000 good yeah yeah we're good all right Welcome to the show, faggots. 1.00

00:58:50.000 Okay, now you can say what the fuck you want to say. 1.00

00:58:53.000 So, what I will say about the progressives is, like, even though they're faggots and they're losers, right? 1.00

00:58:59.000 Frank. 1.00

00:58:59.000 Oh, okay. 1.00

00:59:00.000 Frank?

00:59:00.000 Yeah, yeah, his name is Frank.

00:59:01.000 Yeah.

00:59:02.000 He came right up to you. 1.00

00:59:04.000 So, even though these progressives are faggots and they want us dead, right? 1.00

00:59:08.000 They hate guys like me and you. 1.00

00:59:09.000 They detest us. 0.98

00:59:09.000 They call us Holocaust deniers and Nazis, which is cool. 0.98

00:59:11.000 Fine. 0.96

00:59:12.000 Maybe on Saturdays.

00:59:13.000 But, like, what I will say is they brought an enormous amount of awareness to the problem. 0.58

00:59:18.000 I've always looked at it like they attacked the problem from a humanitarian perspective, like, oh my God, they're killing people and genocidal partisan state, et cetera, right?

00:59:26.000 Which is whatever.

00:59:27.000 But I will give credit that, like, you know, because I'll say this progressives are way more active than we are, right?

00:59:33.000 Let's be honest. 0.99

00:59:33.000 These motherfuckers will go out and protest, like, free, free Palestine, going nuts or whatever. 0.99

00:59:37.000 And it's brought awareness to the problem. 1.00

00:59:39.000 You know what I mean?

00:59:40.000 So that's one of the benefits.

00:59:42.000 Obviously, They don't attack it from the same perspective that we do.

00:59:45.000 Like, me and you come in, like, yo, these guys are subverting our government.

00:59:47.000 This is an issue. 0.99

00:59:48.000 Get them the fuck up out of here. 0.99

00:59:50.000 You know, we come at it from a nationalist perspective. 1.00

00:59:53.000 And we also understand that, like, let's be honest, Jewish power creates a lot of problems. 0.99

00:59:57.000 It's caused a lot of pernicious left wing ideologies to kind of permeate throughout the country with, you know, their expansive situation. 1.00

01:00:05.000 Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

01:00:06.000 Bring some more.

01:00:06.000 Thanks.

01:00:08.000 Got to take care of the bro, man.

01:00:11.000 So, you know, so it's good that they've, like, because they've activated.

01:00:15.000 A very politically active side, right?

01:00:18.000 Because, like, you know, progressive and stuff, the college campuses, whatever.

01:00:22.000 So that's good.

01:00:22.000 But, like, you know, on the other side, like, obviously they're coming at it from another perspective, but that has helped, I would say.

01:00:27.000 Because, like, if you're right wing and you're anti Israel or, you know, critical of Jewish power, it's like you're good. 0.73

01:00:32.000 You're cooked. 0.80

01:00:33.000 You're automatically cooked.

01:00:34.000 You know what I mean?

01:00:35.000 That's what I've realized.

01:00:35.000 So that's one of the benefits.

01:00:37.000 Yeah.

01:00:37.000 I mean, it's definitely true.

01:00:40.000 That's the thing, though.

01:00:42.000 The left is huge, organized, active.

01:00:45.000 And the difference is that the left is not captured in the same way that the right is by Israel.

01:00:49.000 The right is deeply institutionally captured by the Israeli government in particular, the Israel lobby, such that it's just a different rule set.

01:00:59.000 On the left, criticism of the Netanyahu regime in particular is actually institutional.

01:01:05.000 Soros is an enemy of Netanyahu. 0.72

01:01:07.000 Soros is out there, even though he's a pro open borders, open society Jew, and like one of these Jewish billionaires that's ruining America.

01:01:15.000 He is actively opposed domestically in Israel to Netanyahu's party and Netanyahu's vision, you know, this version of Zionism Netanyahu's pushing. 0.91

01:01:23.000 And so it's the opposite.

01:01:25.000 On the left, you can actually remain in the institutions.

01:01:28.000 It's actually maybe even a good thing criticizing Netanyahu.

01:01:31.000 Obama was against Netanyahu.

01:01:33.000 Biden had friction with Netanyahu.

01:01:35.000 And so that there's been an opportunity there for people to criticize it and retain their platform access or, you know, career opportunities.

01:01:43.000 It's a huge boon to us.

01:01:45.000 And, you know, there was a time, I remember in like 23 and 24, The left was very heavily critical of Israel.

01:01:52.000 And you had a lot of people on the right who were pro Israel that were saying, well, the left is criticizing Israel for the wrong reasons.

01:01:58.000 They're saying the left hates Israel because they see Israel as a settler colonial estate.

01:02:03.000 And, um, use all those left buzz wing terms genocide, apartheid, ethno state, colonial.

01:02:08.000 Yeah.

01:02:08.000 Right, right.

01:02:10.000 They said, you know, the left sees the Israelis as white people that are oppressing an indigenous population, extension of the British Empire.

01:02:17.000 You know, there's like a socialist angle. 1.00

01:02:18.000 Me and you both know they're not fucking white. 1.00

01:02:20.000 Hell no. 1.00

01:02:20.000 No, fuck it. 1.00

01:02:21.000 Anyone that says Jews are white, you're a fucking retard. 1.00

01:02:23.000 Like, they're not white at all. 1.00

01:02:25.000 And they'll even tell you, I'm not white. 0.71

01:02:26.000 Yeah, well, you have to get into what is white. 0.76

01:02:30.000 It's European, it's Christendom, it's the fusion of those things and their civilization. 0.92

01:02:34.000 The Jews are to find themselves against that rather than part of it. 0.71

01:02:38.000 But in any case, the pro Israel right was correct that the left was criticizing Israel for the wrong reasons.

01:02:45.000 However, it didn't matter.

01:02:46.000 At that time, it was just important to basically thaw the chilling effect because the problem that we had is that.

01:02:52.000 You were simply not allowed to say or think these things or engage in activism against these things.

01:02:59.000 He's okay.

01:03:00.000 He's not bothering you.

01:03:01.000 I love the dogs.

01:03:02.000 Okay, right.

01:03:03.000 So it was important for the left to say those things just to open up that conversation, just to thaw the rules governing that conversation.

01:03:12.000 Now, however, I think it's a different story.

01:03:15.000 A year ago, you needed the left and the Muslims for that matter, because the Muslims, they're a huge community too. 1.00

01:03:21.000 And let's just not. 1.00

01:03:23.000 They're loyal.

01:03:23.000 Yeah.

01:03:24.000 And not only that, but they're extremely numerous online. 1.00

01:03:29.000 I don't think it's wrong to say that if you're shitting on Israel, You're getting a huge engagement boost from the Muslim world. 0.99

01:03:36.000 Not just nationally, not here, but internationally. 1.00

01:03:38.000 They've been Jew pilled forever. 1.00

01:03:40.000 And you're like, finally, America's talking about this. 0.89

01:03:42.000 Because for a long time, they could never talk about it.

01:03:44.000 You knew it, right?

01:03:45.000 I mean, I grew up in a Muslim house, so my family's from Sudan. 1.00

01:03:48.000 So I grew up like, ehhudis, ah, what a. 0.99

01:03:50.000 So you already kind of knew what it was, but America had never known this shit because it was so suppressed for so long. 0.99

01:03:55.000 Right. 0.99

01:03:55.000 You couldn't talk about it. 0.99

01:03:56.000 And a guy like you, you come in and you talk about it, whoa, get this guy out of here immediately.

01:04:00.000 So, but continue, I'm sorry.

01:04:02.000 So, yeah.

01:04:03.000 So, you know, if you are.

01:04:05.000 In 24 and 25, criticizing Israel. 0.66

01:04:08.000 And I was very conscious and cognizant of this. 0.98

01:04:11.000 I remember saying things in a certain way that appeal to liberals and appeal to Muslims because then they boost the content. 0.89

01:04:18.000 And it's like, look, if what we're doing is like a prison break, it literally doesn't matter. 0.80

01:04:23.000 As long as the content's getting out there, as long as people are getting the idea that we can criticize Israel, like these guys are hypocrites, they're not beyond reproach, et cetera, it's just about changing that conversation.

01:04:35.000 And it was okay.

01:04:36.000 Now, however, we see everybody knows the score. 0.95

01:04:38.000 And what is happening now is that the left and the Muslims are kind of using this to push their own agenda. 0.87

01:04:44.000 So the left is using criticism of Israel to push their DSA stuff, their progressive stuff. 0.96

01:04:48.000 They're using it to basically conceal and run cover for the other parts of their radical agenda. 0.67

01:04:54.000 Same thing with Muslims. 0.70

01:04:55.000 You see a lot of the Muslims now saying anyone that criticizes Muslims is a Jew. 0.52

01:05:00.000 Anyone that has anything untoward to say about Muslims or mass Muslim migration is a Zionist. 0.59

01:05:05.000 That's a Zionist. 0.87

01:05:06.000 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.97

01:05:08.000 It's not America first. 0.99

01:05:10.000 To have mass Muslim migration. 0.99

01:05:11.000 It's not Jewish to say that. 0.99

01:05:13.000 It's not America first to let Somalians loot Minneapolis and not deport them. 0.96

01:05:17.000 That's not America first either. 0.88

01:05:19.000 And yet, the left and Muslims, or Muslims and the left, respectively, on those issues, are using criticism of Israel to run cover for those policies. 0.99

01:05:27.000 Hey, it's all good if tons of Muslims come here. 0.91

01:05:29.000 Anyone that's against that is Jewish. 1.00

01:05:31.000 Oh, it's close. 1.00

01:05:31.000 Somalians take over Minneapolis. 1.00

01:05:33.000 Anyone that's against that is Jewish. 0.97

01:05:34.000 And so I think now, now that criticism of Israel is mainstream and popular and maybe the majority position, it's now important for the right. 0.73

01:05:43.000 The right wing, the nationalists, to assert our own position on this and say, now we need to start drawing some lines and say, listen, we may coalesce, we can create a coalition, perhaps, with some elements of the left or some Muslims, but what we are as a faction is nationalists.

01:06:00.000 And so the reason we're against Israel, it's the same reason we're against Soros, because we're America first.

01:06:06.000 It's not America first to have open borders or to give money to Israel. 0.51

01:06:09.000 It's not America first to have Muslims here that only care about Islam and Muslim countries, same way it goes for Jews. 0.57

01:06:15.000 So we need to sort of. 0.74

01:06:16.000 Define and distinguish and refine our movement within the Israel critical space as the right wing faction.

01:06:23.000 Yeah, no.

01:06:24.000 And like now that the information's out, we can actually start to like actually be more specific about the issues.

01:06:29.000 Right.

01:06:29.000 Because like I said before, it's good because they brought awareness from the left, right?

01:06:34.000 That wasn't there before because criticism of Israel used to be literally a nuclear topic that you couldn't talk about.

01:06:39.000 So now they've made it a bit more mainstream. 0.99

01:06:41.000 But yeah, we need to come at it from the, these guys have too much goddamn power. 0.98

01:06:46.000 Are Israel first? 0.98

01:06:48.000 They are responsible for a lot of the ism, the toxic isms that are in this country feminism, progressivism, Marxism, et cetera, which I want to talk about that too with the DSA. 0.98

01:06:57.000 Where do you see the Democrat Party going with this as far as like this socialism move that we're seeing?

01:07:04.000 You know, I said this before, and I want to get your position on this too.

01:07:07.000 I'll let you talk about it.

01:07:09.000 I think Momdani, winning mayor of New York City, was the beginning domino of what we're going to see where it's going to be a socialist revolution.

01:07:17.000 I'm starting to see these establishment Democrats kind of not be as cool the Hillarys, the Chuck Schumers, the Bill Clinton era.

01:07:23.000 Like, I think that's dead.

01:07:24.000 The new wave is.

01:07:26.000 We're going to be socialists. 1.00

01:07:27.000 We're going to say, fuck Israel. 1.00

01:07:28.000 We want free health care. 1.00

01:07:30.000 We want college being paid off.

01:07:31.000 We want, like, basically just like full on socialism, rent stabilization, all these things.

01:07:35.000 And I'm seeing Momdani do this in New York City.

01:07:37.000 He has an enormous amount of people that support him, a lot of people that like him.

01:07:40.000 He's using more of like a grassroots social media push on doing things.

01:07:43.000 And then I'm looking at like a lot of top left wing political commentators, right?

01:07:49.000 On the left, they're all pushing for socialism.

01:07:51.000 So it's like, I'm starting to see the Democrat Party really shift.

01:07:55.000 I think them taking the L. On the Kamala Harris campaign, it has made them say, we need to take social media more seriously.

01:08:02.000 We need to stop relying so much on establishment celebrities.

01:08:05.000 We need to start giving people more free stuff with socialism.

01:08:08.000 And I think Mom Dhani's kind of started this trend. 0.66

01:08:09.000 But what are your thoughts on this? 1.00

01:08:11.000 Yeah, I totally agree.

01:08:12.000 And Mom Dhani defeated Cuomo, who was backed by the whole Democratic establishment.

01:08:16.000 That was, you're right, the first big upset.

01:08:18.000 And then he had this election on Tuesday where all of Mom Dhani's primary challengers, three of them in congressional primaries, won their races.

01:08:26.000 And all of their opponents were establishment people backed by Hakeem Jeffries, backed by the labor unions, backed by the Black and Latino caucus.

01:08:34.000 That is like the institutional Democratic Party.

01:08:38.000 That's the party establishment.

01:08:39.000 And it's not just the social media, although that's a huge part of it.

01:08:42.000 It is TikTok, it is the social media, but it's also that they have this ground game.

01:08:47.000 They've got this unbelievable ground game in New York City.

01:08:50.000 I was looking at some of the numbers from Carlin Borsenko.

01:08:52.000 She's like the expert on this.

01:08:54.000 She sat in one of their meetings and they said that when.

01:08:57.000 Zoran ran for mayor last year.

01:08:59.000 They knocked on 1.8 million doors.

01:09:02.000 1.8 million doors.

01:09:05.000 Wow.

01:09:06.000 2.3 million phone calls for phone banking, 3,000 events, 20,000 small dollar donors.

01:09:12.000 That's how big their donor network was.

01:09:14.000 That's incredible.

01:09:15.000 Do you know how many, just so you guys understand what it's talking about, do you know how many volunteers you need for that?

01:09:15.000 It's unbelievable.

01:09:20.000 Yeah.

01:09:20.000 Volunteers.

01:09:21.000 These people aren't getting paid. 0.88

01:09:22.000 They need volunteers for that.

01:09:23.000 30,000 volunteers, they said they had in New York City, which is just one place.

01:09:27.000 And the people that they got to register and turn out, because it's really just a turnout game, it's that the progressives are turning out huge numbers of people that either don't vote Democrat or don't usually vote or don't usually vote in off year elections.

01:09:41.000 And it's a lot of young white people. 0.52

01:09:43.000 It's a lot of young white people and these like non conventional minority groups, not like the old school blacks and like, let's say, Mexicans. 0.64

01:09:49.000 It's like different like minority groups. 0.58

01:09:51.000 And that's just where the energy is.

01:09:54.000 That's where the young people are.

01:09:55.000 That's where the energy is.

01:09:56.000 And that's their ideology.

01:09:57.000 The young people are just like ultra progressive. 0.96

01:10:00.000 And so, I don't know that that's even going to be good for the Democrats because the reason they got their asses kicked in 24 is because all the big Jewish money left the Democrats because they were so alienated by the young progressives. 0.86

01:10:13.000 You know, you got to think about guys like Bill Ackman and Sean McGuire. 0.97

01:10:16.000 Bill Ackman is at Pershing Square, Wall Street guy, Jew. 0.99

01:10:20.000 He's tied with Larry Fink, who runs BlackRock. 0.99

01:10:22.000 He's a Harvard alum.

01:10:23.000 He's a lifelong Democrat and Democrat donor. 0.60

01:10:26.000 But after October 7th, he saw at Harvard, his alumnus, at Harvard, all the progressives were like supporting Hamas. 0.63

01:10:32.000 Now, Red Pull, them real big. 0.60

01:10:34.000 The Ivy League schools, like having all these, Columbia, Harvard. 0.79

01:10:38.000 Right.

01:10:38.000 It was Ackman at Harvard.

01:10:40.000 It was Ronald Lauder at UPenn.

01:10:41.000 He's, I believe, a Wharton School alum. 0.89

01:10:44.000 And so, like these big Jews with all the money on Wall Street who previously were Democrats, donated to the Democrats, did fundraiser for Hillary, they all of a sudden, Bill Ackman signed that letter where he said, the left has gone too left. 0.88

01:10:57.000 They're too censorious or too woke. 0.93

01:10:59.000 We got to shut it down.

01:11:01.000 So he bailed.

01:11:02.000 Then Sean McGuire.

01:11:03.000 Sean McGuire is a partner at Sequoia.

01:11:05.000 Sequoia is one of the big VC firms in Silicon Valley.

01:11:08.000 Same thing.

01:11:09.000 Lifelong Democrat, Democrat donor, fundraisers for Hillary.

01:11:12.000 Same deal.

01:11:13.000 After October 7th, he said, I'm out.

01:11:15.000 Now I'm a Republican.

01:11:16.000 So, these are like two good examples because you got a Wall Street guy from the Eastern seaboard.

01:11:21.000 You got a tech VC guy from the West Coast. 0.70

01:11:24.000 These are the two poles of power in America, and they represent Jews, institutional Jewish money shifting from the Democrats to the Republicans because they were scared off basically by the young progressives, the young white kids, the students, these like militant minorities that are pro Palestine liberation, the socialists. 0.74

01:11:43.000 And so, the reason they lost in 24, where was the money? 0.80

01:11:46.000 Like, you look at 2020, So much money went behind the Democrats from all the usual suspects, from like Reed Hoffman, from Zuckerberg, 300 million from the Zuckerberg Chan Foundation, from Bloomberg. 0.91

01:11:59.000 So, all this like big Jewish money. 0.91

01:12:01.000 In 24, it didn't show up. 0.97

01:12:02.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:12:03.000 Like, how October 7th, like, red pilled the Jewish community and they said, yep, we got to go with Trump because he's going to go hard on Israel.

01:12:08.000 He's going to give them more money.

01:12:10.000 They really don't like how Biden dealt with them.

01:12:12.000 Like, no.

01:12:13.000 Yeah.

01:12:13.000 And they turned against Biden.

01:12:14.000 I remember when Biden came out at that press conference, it was after Biden's.

01:12:19.000 Special counsel report came out about his documents case.

01:12:22.000 He did a press conference, I think it was like May last year or two years ago, and said, You know, I don't like the way the Israelis are running the campaign in Gaza.

01:12:29.000 And the New York Times editorial board totally flipped on him and were like all negative throughout the rest of the year.

01:12:34.000 So the Democrats alienated the Jewish media, they alienated the Jewish money.

01:12:38.000 Now, how are the Democrats going to get back? 0.57

01:12:41.000 Well, they're thinking about running a Jew for president like Pritzker in Illinois or this Shapiro in Pennsylvania because they're going to have to reconcile the like militant progressives that hate Israel, like really actually hate Israel. 0.71

01:12:53.000 From the institutional Jewish money that is like liberal Zionist. 0.69

01:12:56.000 Like they're pro Israel. 0.72

01:12:58.000 Maybe they don't love Netanyahu, but they want to defend Israel from what happened on October 7th.

01:13:03.000 So they are going to have the same problem as the Republicans, which is to say there's like a parallel dynamic where on the right and the left, the young people, the energy, the kind of ideological core is shifting there is very anti Israel. 0.58

01:13:16.000 And yet the money, the institutional forces still on both sides is Jewish and they're still pro Israel.

01:13:22.000 So the Republicans are going to have this is the Vance Rubio divide, the Levin Tucker divide.

01:13:27.000 They'll have to reconcile that.

01:13:29.000 And on the left, it's like, let's say, the Shapiro Momdani divider or something like that.

01:13:33.000 It's like Gavin Newsom saying he doesn't like AIPAC and then coming out a day later and saying, oh, no, no, I love Israel.

01:13:39.000 It's making everybody a little bipolar.

01:13:41.000 And then he also said, you know, well, it's kind of like an apartheid state.

01:13:45.000 So it's like we're literally watching an incredible shift in politics in both the left and the right.

01:13:51.000 And on the left, I would say it's obviously far more pronounced, right?

01:13:54.000 And then, and it's crazy because I like, that's a great point that you mentioned.

01:14:01.000 Yeah, okay.

01:14:01.000 Sorry about that, guys.

01:14:04.000 You brought up a good point that they were able to galvanize this incredible ground game in New York City.

01:14:09.000 Now, if they could do that nationwide, that's going to be huge.

01:14:12.000 But New York City is obviously kind of.

01:14:16.000 The rest of the United States isn't like New York City, right?

01:14:18.000 Mamdani was able to win there in crazy fashion.

01:14:20.000 Also, I want to talk about this girl.

01:14:21.000 Can you pull up that chick that I pulled up, bro? 1.00

01:14:23.000 The crazy chick. 1.00

01:14:24.000 We were talking about this girl that won the 13th district. 1.00

01:14:28.000 Oh, yeah.

01:14:30.000 What's your thoughts on that, man?

01:14:31.000 We'll pull this girl up for you guys.

01:14:32.000 Here's a clip of her.

01:14:35.000 Shabali, an anti American activist who just won New York State Senate District 13, is an American of Dominican descent. 1.00

01:14:40.000 She wants the abolition of police, prisons, and borders, as well as the seizure of private property and the nationalization of industries basically, communism straight up. 0.96

01:14:48.000 She converts to Islam and has said she wants to make sure her Muslim faith is reflected in the halls of power. 0.98

01:14:53.000 And you know, it's kind of crazy because it's like the Muslim faith is very conservative, right? 0.96

01:14:58.000 It's like, what? 0.98

01:14:59.000 Like, what's going on here?

01:15:00.000 But okay, we'll play this clip real quick for you guys.

01:15:04.000 And then here she goes.

01:15:05.000 I forgot to get a napkin, so I wiped my hand on the American flag behind me. 0.85

01:15:08.000 Like, these people are super anti American.

01:15:10.000 We'll play this real quick.

01:15:12.000 This clip.

01:15:13.000 I'm also the only Muslim in my family. 0.62

01:15:15.000 I reverted three years ago.

01:15:17.000 Actually, the friend who pushed me to do it asked me, Why have you fasted for four years and yet you haven't taken your Shahada?

01:15:24.000 She's here today.

01:15:24.000 And when she asked me that, I thought, That is a great question.

01:15:29.000 And I thought for myself, Why?

01:15:30.000 Like, why I hadn't taken the step yet.

01:15:32.000 But it was seeing how all of my friends who were showing up to organizing, who are Muslim, were showing up in the space and the grace and love and passion that they had in these spaces of social justice.

01:15:45.000 That really pushed me to join the faith.

01:15:48.000 And wanting to make sure that we are reflecting that.

01:15:51.000 All right, we'll just pause it.

01:15:53.000 But yeah, this is nuts.

01:15:56.000 And she won in like a landslide, if I'm not mistaken. 0.76

01:15:58.000 And the important thing is that she got the Mamdani endorsement.

01:16:02.000 And like you were saying before, everyone he endorsed won.

01:16:04.000 I think Bernie Sanders even came out and endorsed her as well.

01:16:07.000 So what do you see is going to be like the who do you think is going to make the run for president on a Democrat side?

01:16:13.000 It's hard to say.

01:16:14.000 Everybody says Newsome.

01:16:15.000 But, you know, I have this.

01:16:17.000 AOC.

01:16:17.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:18.000 You know, I have the sneaking suspicion that on the Democrat side, it'll be like the Republicans were in 16.

01:16:22.000 You know, because in 16, really in 2015, when the primary started, everybody thought it was going to be Jeb Bush, literally.

01:16:29.000 Because they said, oh, that's the name everybody knew.

01:16:31.000 It was going to be Jeb, Rubio, Ted Cruz.

01:16:33.000 What's that?

01:16:34.000 Oh, no.

01:16:34.000 Oh, yes.

01:16:35.000 You know, and then Trump.

01:16:37.000 Trump came out of nowhere.

01:16:38.000 So I think on the Democrat side, it's going to be similar.

01:16:40.000 Everybody's thinking about the same handful of names.

01:16:42.000 They say it's going to be Gavin Newsom.

01:16:44.000 It's going to be Kamala again.

01:16:45.000 It's going to be AOC.

01:16:46.000 I think it's going to be somebody actually that surprises us.

01:16:50.000 And I think it might create a real schism in the party.

01:16:53.000 Like, certainly, what might happen is you're going to get a progressive candidate that's going to run.

01:16:59.000 And maybe they're not going to be able to actually win the election because you got to think the caucuses and primaries, they start in Iowa, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada.

01:17:08.000 These are not hyper progressive constituencies like it is in New York City.

01:17:13.000 So I think that you might get a progressive that's going to run.

01:17:15.000 Maybe they don't have a real chance of going all the way, but then maybe they're going to make a bid to be the VP.

01:17:20.000 They're going to make a bid to be number two or something like that.

01:17:23.000 Maybe that's going to be the play.

01:17:24.000 But I think it's going to be a little bit unpredictable because there's another thing going on in the Democratic Party, which is these people are really frustrated.

01:17:32.000 They were already pissed off in 2016 when Bernie got screwed over.

01:17:37.000 Then they were pissed off in 2020 because Bernie got screwed over again.

01:17:40.000 If you remember in 2020, you had a primary and Bernie won Iowa.

01:17:43.000 Then he won New Hampshire.

01:17:44.000 Then he won Nevada.

01:17:45.000 And then Biden won South Carolina.

01:17:47.000 And then it was all over.

01:17:48.000 Then it was Biden's.

01:17:49.000 It was literally Bernie was doing really well right up until.

01:17:52.000 I'm confused because he has a lot of the populist, you know.

01:17:56.000 So, I'm like, how does he keep losing?

01:17:59.000 Because it's a political machine on the left.

01:18:01.000 It's not a real election.

01:18:03.000 So, he got screwed over in 2020, but Biden won, so it's all good.

01:18:06.000 Well, then in 24, they ran Biden again, and people are furious that, like, look at how that turned out.

01:18:12.000 That was a catastrophe.

01:18:13.000 Then they didn't really hold a real convention.

01:18:15.000 So, they said, we made a decision.

01:18:17.000 We're putting up Kamala. 1.00

01:18:18.000 They did it in fucking Chicago, dude. 1.00

01:18:20.000 Like, it doesn't get more corrupt than that. 1.00

01:18:22.000 It's like the DNC's in Chicago.

01:18:25.000 The Democrat bag men came up and said, look, it's Kamala.

01:18:28.000 That's who it is. 1.00

01:18:28.000 Everybody shut up. 1.00

01:18:29.000 That's who's going to be the nominee.

01:18:30.000 I think Obama made that call?

01:18:32.000 Yeah.

01:18:32.000 Well, no, actually, I think the Obamas, I forget exactly how it lined up.

01:18:36.000 I think they were not happy about that, if I'm not mistaken.

01:18:39.000 I forget how that all shook out.

01:18:41.000 But the party establishment basically said, Kamala, that's who it is. 1.00

01:18:46.000 I think it would have looked optically bad because she's a black woman. 0.99

01:18:48.000 So they would have been like, no, she has to do it. 1.00

01:18:50.000 Like, if they, yeah. 1.00

01:18:52.000 And they're run by race politics over there.

01:18:54.000 That's true.

01:18:55.000 But I think you could have, the way that you could have avoided that is have an open convention.

01:19:00.000 And then whoever wins, wins.

01:19:02.000 And people complain.

01:19:03.000 And you say, well, look, that's who won.

01:19:04.000 You know, that's who they're going to win.

01:19:05.000 I think they made the argument it was too late or something like that.

01:19:07.000 Yeah.

01:19:07.000 And they said, yeah, because the convention was held in August, which is pretty late in the game.

01:19:11.000 So they said, look, This is just what it's going to be.

01:19:15.000 But anyway, so the Democrats are really mad because of this history of the progressives being screwed over, and it hasn't worked.

01:19:23.000 The Democrat establishment is just losing then.

01:19:25.000 They lost this election in 24, and the progressives are mad.
