00:00:15.380And this was a strategic defeat on a grand strategic level.
00:00:18.800So U.S. military power is over in that part of the world.
00:00:23.560The collapse of Ukraine, which is inevitable, I think, at this point, is basically the end of NATO.
00:00:29.700NATO goes on probably in name only. It's basically like the EU. It's there. But OK, what does that mean? And that's basically the end of the U.S.-led post-Cold War world. The real money, the real military power is now in Eurasia. We've been depleted. We've been drained. We've been humiliated. We've been defeated. What do we do from here?
00:00:52.160My concern at that point, and there are reports this morning that the Pentagon is now going to rewrite their nuclear warfare doctrine to make the deployment of tactical, non-strategic nuclear weapons in warfare easier to do.
00:01:22.160Because the conventional capacity has been drained so badly.
00:01:26.100I just talked to Mark Kansian of CSIS the last hour on Mario's show, and he said that for the next four to five years, America is in what's known as the window of vulnerability.
00:01:37.840We've blown through our critical stockpiles.
00:01:41.800So basically, for about four or five years, we're sitting naked.
00:01:45.440Well, he didn't say this, but me reading between the lines, because Mark would never say something like this.
00:01:51.020This is me saying this. I then in my head paired what he just told me with this morning's report that the Pentagon is rewriting their nuclear warfare doctrine to basically make it liberal, more liberal in the use of of nuclear, easier to use nuclear weapons in a non-nuclear war.
00:02:09.920So what that tells me is to plug this, to close the window of vulnerability over the next five years, the DOD or Department of War is basically going to say it's OK to use nukes.

00:03:19.280able to get you know the other side as well and i think that's uh integral here's here's the thing
00:03:24.540i like watching 80 year old air force generals on fox news i think they know the reality of what's
00:03:30.600happening around the world i don't want to listen to all the experts and the people with real
00:03:34.320credentials that aren't in government because they're too serious i want to go watch jack keen
00:03:38.840well i will say that barrio seems to be uh hazing me a little bit now that i'm working with him
00:03:45.360because he keeps giving me all the neocon generals in the afternoon so i sit there and i have to sit
00:03:51.400there and listen to how great israel is all the time uh but uh you do a good job you do a good
00:03:56.760job it's a balance show here's the thing here's what i appreciate here's what i appreciate about
00:04:00.760mario's channel in general you want to see what's called my dad calls it wide spectrum analysis
00:04:08.140If you hold anti-position against somebody's pro, it's only going to make you weaker if you don't hear their position because you're not going to know how to refute it or respond to it.
00:04:16.980Ultimately, you don't really have the right to.
00:04:24.660And I think, you know, the way you beat the information war is you, first of all, have to understand what the other side is thinking.
00:04:33.240and i will tell you i used to think there's no way these guys believe this um i've spoken now
00:04:39.440to some pretty high level people on mario's show over the last two weeks who are committed neocons
00:04:44.960committed zion i was a former neocon myself in my youth because that was what you were if you
00:04:50.080were a republican working in government that's just the way it was um so they really believe
00:04:55.420it these guys do and these gals i mean i talked to victoria coates recently of heritage she was
00:05:00.500formerly the Middle East policy director for the first term of the Trump administration.1.00
00:05:05.200Nice lady. She really believes this stuff. So, you know, I think it's important that audiences
00:05:10.260listen and understand that these are the people currently or previously speaking to the highest
00:05:17.580levels of our politicians in both parties. And if you're wondering why things are falling apart,
00:05:24.600if you're wondering why, you know, there's really no policy difference in the foreign
00:05:29.920policy realm, at least between Biden and Trump, will you begin to understand why there is a deep
00:05:35.440state? It is a bipartisan fusion party, as Michael Walsh calls it. And you got to understand it if
00:05:42.660you're going to beat it. And so when I talk to these people, I do let them talk. I don't try to
00:05:47.340do the Fox News scream at them thing. I try to understand. And I've learned a lot. I've learned
00:05:53.000a lot in just two weeks about what I'm dealing with. For sure. This is my thing with people like
00:05:58.520that it's one thing to be on the civilian side and to have like a different opinion or whatever
00:06:02.040but when you're established in government and you've watched multiple of these disastrous
00:06:06.620campaigns specifically in the middle east with the same exact cast of characters over and over
00:06:11.560and over again how do you say ah well it is what it is time for a round one million do they do they
00:06:17.920have any like realm of uh you know are they thinking about the consequences of this stuff
00:06:21.680at all or do they genuinely think that we can do it again yeah they genuinely think that you you
00:06:27.020I think Mark Thiessen this morning or in the last 24 hours put out a tweet making fun of TPUSA of all places.
00:06:36.180I guess Andrew Colvett issued a tweet where he was explaining how one of their college members was saying the cost of food for students is so high.
00:06:46.260And Mark Thiessen's response was literally, cry me a river.
00:06:49.960And it's like they really think not only America is Superman and we can do it all, but any hardship, you know what, just deal with it.
00:07:15.320It's very clear some of our greatest military leaders who became presidents, Washington and Eisenhower, would not have agreed with Mr. Mark Thiessen.
00:07:24.560They would have been disgusted by that view because the idea is not suck it up.
00:07:29.540We've got to just go kill these people.
00:07:31.260The idea is what is in America's best interest?
00:07:34.280It's also a bit of a Hippocratic oath.
00:08:18.520They are ideologically and this is particularly bad on the right with the so-called neocons, although I think a better term for them would be democratic globalists, because that's really what they are.
00:08:30.120And in this case, democracy does not mean something good.
00:08:33.000It means that they've turned it into a fetish and they want to visit it upon everybody else.0.87
00:09:51.560Right. Because Trump loses money in his first term, does not have knowledge of the political apparature or he doesn't have any knowledge of the components.
00:09:59.000You get people like John Bolton, people like Jeff Sessions, people like Bill Barr and just establishment swamp creatures.
00:10:06.040And he gets out, persecuted, has the miraculous resurgence in 2024.
00:10:45.460And that's how America will see you.0.91
00:10:46.900It doesn't matter. Like, it doesn't even matter how many billions of dollars you have, how many political institutions you have, how many campaign offices you have.
00:10:55.320It doesn't matter for the GOP. Here's the thing. I just watched JRE.
00:11:00.140I was watching Andrew Wilson's episode with Rogan, the second one he just did.
00:11:03.660And I mentioned it and he's like, you argue with me and I was telling him how the two party system wouldn't work.
00:11:10.500When I advocate for independent candidates or someone running inside the Republican Party or whatever it looks like, I'm advocating for that because I see that as a lot more of a rational path for us to fix or take over the Republican Party versus what we have if we just accept them railing us, essentially, is they're doing it to themselves.
00:11:29.480It's not our fault that you're going to be hurt in these elections when you have a Kauffman's coming home, draped in American flags like you're creating that campaign ad.
00:11:37.460We're not the ones doing it. And that's that's what really bothers me. What do you think?
00:11:41.560Well, and interestingly enough, though, I actually just talked to Mario about this about two hours ago when I was I was in the guest role at that point on his show.
00:11:50.800And I said to him at the end there, I said, the one thing I'm surprised by is the Democrats haven't turned the Iran war into a real political victory for them the way the Democrats did.
00:12:05.200I was vividly remember. I remember how my Democrat friends on the other side were able to really convert, you know, the you know, the the the failures of the Bush administration into real political.
00:12:19.320Hey, it all evangelize. Yeah, they evangelize. Right. It ultimately led to Obama. No, wait, without Iraq war, I don't believe there would have been an Obama.
00:12:28.400I think that maybe at most you would have got, at best for them, they would have had Hillary, who would have just been a continuation.0.61
00:12:34.620The Iraq war creates Barack Obama, creates the generational change that the Democrats needed in 2006 to 2008.
00:12:44.660So they are not doing that, though, with this war.0.85
00:12:47.940And I was telling Mario, I said, I really think the reason they're not is because, let's face it, a lot of the elite who run the DNC, they are themselves Zionists.0.75
00:12:57.160They are themselves fine with this war.0.97
00:12:59.780They don't like the fact that the Iranians have continued on and they they may not want0.96
00:13:05.480the Republicans and Trump to get credit, but they're also not going to do much to complicate.0.96
00:13:11.660Well, that's the thing Trump to wage the war.
00:13:13.900That's the thing about my political theory is people just don't see like literally it's
00:13:19.340The caldera could explode at any time and be a massive super volcano.
00:13:22.320know, like I just I can I can feel the rumbling because I'm young and I watch this happen with
00:13:27.280Trump the first time. And I just this is my prediction on 23. I could be totally wrong.
00:13:32.100But I watched him come down that escalator. I watched that first debate. I told my dad he would
00:13:36.740be president. And my dad laughed at me and called me effing crazy. All right. Who who's laughing
00:13:41.840now? None of us. Spoiler alert. We're all kind of a little bit terrified here of what Robert
00:13:46.080Barnes calls frontal lobe dementia. But like, I just I sense that same energy because whoever you
00:13:52.040have up there both on the Democrat side Republican side it's going to be a huge field it's going to
00:13:56.740be a massive field you're going to have at least like a dozen people running on both sides that'll
00:14:00.960be able to pull at least like one to five percent you know I remember the days of Kasich and
00:14:05.180candidates like that uh days of candidates who else was running back then dang it was Kasich it
00:14:11.080was Rand it was Ted Cruz Rafael uh it was uh Marco um Egg McMuffin uh but he wasn't a Republican I
00:14:21.440I think he ran. I just Jeb Bush, lest we forget Jeb Bush, the man pulling as a front runner at the beginning.
00:14:27.800And this is my whole point. He had all the money. Yes, all the money, all the cameras, all the action, everything.
00:14:33.500But the party itself had no energy because he had no energy, had nothing to run on.
00:14:38.140In fact, he had the vulnerability of the family of the familial association with the Iraq war.
00:14:43.860And I think if you get Rubio up there and I think if you get even Vance up there and you have somebody like a like a Marjorie Taylor Greene, like a Joe Kent, like a Thomas Massey that says, hey, you know, we were actually hurt and persecuted because we tried to stick to the 2024 platform.
00:15:00.160When did you stick to the 2024 platform?
00:15:09.800Break this down because there is a dinner.
00:15:11.180There is a table photo that was taken.
00:15:13.400Break this down. Yeah. Yeah. I don't I don't know what that was about. I was just saying, you know, speculate this wouldn't be the first time an outsider from the media was able to pummel their way in because of the failures of the establishment.
00:15:27.880And, you know, I like J.D. Vance, but, you know, and Vance, to be fair, Vance has been, in my opinion, mischaracterized.
00:15:38.600I do think he did what he could from the inside to stop the war, but he's the vice president.
00:15:44.260I don't think, yeah, that's what I was about to say.
00:15:46.260As VP, I wouldn't have taken that job, personally.
00:15:49.980Well, I'll tell you what, what I would have done the minute Trump threw me under the bus with Versailles,
00:15:56.800When he was like, well, if it goes wrong, I'm going to blame J.D.
00:15:59.220And then, you know, Trump went out of his way to humiliate and degrade the MOU, I think partly because it was seen as a Vance victory, because Trump has a weird thing about his subordinates getting more airtime.
00:16:16.620So if it were me, I would have issued my resignation.
00:16:19.620Then again, though, there is a chance something happens to Trump in the remainder of his term and then Vance can be elevated into the presidency.
00:16:28.400So that might be why he's sticking around. But I would have resigned because you're not having the impact.
00:16:35.140But anyway, but but the thing is, Vance is tainted on some level by this administration.
00:16:40.980Now, the failures of this administration, we might get lucky and get a deal on Friday.
00:16:46.480we might have a de-escalation. As I told Mario today, though, I am not convinced this is a
00:16:51.580permanent end of the war. You know, I think this would just be another pause, maybe several months
00:16:56.900worth, but another pause. I think Trump will keep trying to take a bite at the apple because I think
00:17:01.480he's insane. And so, you know, I, you know, I don't think this is the end of the war, but the
00:17:06.760point is every time we go back through this iterative violence, it hurts the political
00:17:13.240fortunes of the president and certainly of his possible successors.
00:17:17.260And I think actually that's one of the reasons why I was told by somebody who's close to
00:17:22.060Marco Rubio, Rubio really doesn't want to run in 28.
00:17:42.560The only thing I can think of is because Rubio is smart enough to know he can read the writing on the wall.
00:17:47.440The Republicans are not going to win 28.
00:17:49.300So why run and taint himself, you know, with a loss when he can just hold out till four years thereafter when the Democrats are back in and they don't achieve whatever the hell they think they're going to achieve.
00:18:10.380And so it wouldn't surprise me if an outsider like a Tucker or even a Joe Kent, who, yeah, he was in the administration, but he wasn't at a he wasn't at a cabinet level or, you know, vice presidential level.
00:19:08.080And that's why they hate him in the White House, because he they know he you know, he's bringing the receipts and he's a threat because he is the most decorated, well-known war hero of the global global war.
00:19:18.940Well, that's the thing. That's the thing on the 2020, 2028 GOP like potential field.
00:19:26.920I see a bunch of weak sisters. Right. I see a bunch of people that are establishment that are in power that are going to be running by nature of it's like, you know, the rotten, spoiled son of a king or something.1.00
00:19:36.480He said, like Joffrey from Game of Thrones, it's like, I get appointed into this position
00:19:40.220that I don't even deserve versus somebody that's been out there in the wilderness, like
00:19:44.240a Tucker, like a Joe Kent, like an MTG, like a Thomas Massey.
00:19:47.700I think the people that make the pseudo analytical arguments about, oh, well, you just can't
00:21:18.040Let's get into that because we got about like three minutes, 30 seconds left in this segment.
00:21:21.620And then in the next segment, I want to do a deep breakdown on what's happening geopolitically.
00:21:25.400But really, I think what you're hinting at is what my guest talked about on the show yesterday.
00:21:29.120Green Beret, Matt Murphy, talking about the war between the BRICS and the Abraham Accords
00:21:33.140and kind of a situation going on there. So kind of a little bit of a roundup in the time we have
00:21:37.420left. Yeah. Yeah. So the Abraham Accords is an interesting frame because the Abraham Accords
00:21:42.600are dead. There is no Abraham Accord, no matter what the president says. He killed it with this
00:21:48.240war. You could make the argument that the Israeli response to 10-7 really killed it.0.88
00:21:54.320I talked to an Israeli brigadier general about this on Sunday on Mario's show, and it was just fascinating to hear the alternative reality.
00:22:08.320But ultimately, even the Israelis are sort of skeptical that the Abraham Accords, as they were envisioned, are possible now.
00:22:15.720Of course, they don't make the connection that it was their actions that caused the destruction of the Abraham Accords.
00:22:21.320So I would push back on the framing of Abraham Accords versus the BRICS.0.99
00:22:56.100I think that's where it's going to go.
00:22:57.000The problem for the Israelis is that the two potential partners they needed in that kind of grand strategic fight,
00:23:06.840the United States are the obvious partner, but the Russians possibly as well.0.83
00:23:11.300The Israelis have been destroying and degrading both of those countries, right?0.70
00:23:16.780I mean, the Ukraine war is basically in some weird way connected to the Israelis, and through that war, they're damaging and irritating the Russians and forcing the Russians into the Chinese camp.0.87
00:23:31.820To be clear, the Russians did not want to be in the Chinese camp.0.83
00:23:35.460This is not a natural partnership, but they have had to go there because they've been forced into this position, into a shotgun wedding, and they're making the best of it now with Xi.0.80
00:23:46.780But but, you know, Israel could have used, especially because they have a lot of cultural ties and historical ties that the Jews of Israel do to Russia.0.88
00:23:54.380They could have used that, exploited that to their advantage.0.82
00:23:58.000They've instead gotten behind this Ukraine fiasco and they've degraded Russia and they've aggravated Russia.0.67
00:24:04.500Meanwhile, the United States, the key partner of the U.S., everything that the Israelis have done in the Middle East, everything they've encouraged in Ukraine.0.74
00:24:12.060This has broken the back of the U.S. defense industrial base that they're so keen on exploiting.0.83
00:24:18.900And it's basically set the conditions where Israel doesn't have the kind of partners it needs anymore.
00:24:25.040They may on paper, but the U.S. can't do certain things.
00:24:28.180You just saw the head of UCOM on Sunday say he's now at a point where he has to decide because there's such a lack of destroyers, U.S. destroyers, as well as the SM-3 air defense systems those destroyers are using.
00:24:40.780He has to decide between homeland defense of the U.S. and defense of Israel.
00:24:45.160That's not a position Israel should have wanted to be in.0.56
00:24:47.660So even their grand plan is not going to work as they see fit.
00:27:30.220Yeah. Yeah. So it's interesting because it's been very murky. And, you know, this is another thing I've been chatting with Mario about because he has some inside sources that really inside sources over there.
00:27:40.340And he told me about three or four days ago that I was being a little too negative because he was hearing that the president was actually never planning to go through with the threatened strike last weekend.
00:27:53.660Because the president is very worried about targeting energy infrastructure in Iran, knowing that the Iranians will retaliate not only against Saudi Aramco and other energy production sites in the region that would obviously spike the price of oil, but the Iranians have the capacity to strike energy infrastructure here in the United States.
00:28:15.660So there was it was a bluff. Mario says, I don't know about that, though. I think the president might have been very serious and then walked back from that.
00:28:24.440Do you think do you think the other Gulf country leaders like MBS, the Emiratis and others were like, hey, just we got we got to please don't throw us into the fire?
00:28:33.400Yeah, so I have a ā I should have sent you that too. At the Weikert Brief, the second most recent article, I had an inside source in Saudi Arabia that claimed ā and I couldn't confirm it, and I make it very clear this is all unconfirmed.
00:28:47.840But basically, before the weekend where Trump was saying he was going to do military terror, which, by the way, is a war crime on Iran, the MBS had a phone call with President Trump in which supposedly he implied that if Saudi Arabia's energy production is taken offline in a retaliatory strike by Iran,
00:29:15.420They were going to sell off lots, if not all, of their treasuries.
00:29:20.760They have about $140 billion worth of treasuries.
00:29:25.920That's a big problem because obviously we're currently in a dicey financial situation,
00:29:32.180and also we're trying to bail the Japanese yen out.
00:29:35.720So if the Saudis and the Qataris, it's either UAE or Qatar, has another $140 billion, I think.
00:29:41.620So if they did a timed dumping of U.S. treasuries as like an FU to us for burning them, the whole system ā the whole system imploded.0.73
00:30:34.300Shipping industry is collapsing right now.
00:30:36.500So anyway, so no, the president's begging for a deal.
00:30:39.420And the Iranians are indirectly talking to us through the Omanis, the Pakistanis, the Saudis, even the Egyptians are involved.
00:30:46.160Anyway, the Omani deal is basically they've whittled it down to instead of two separate routes co-managed, it's going to be one single central route co-managed.0.84
00:31:03.160They have the precedence, not the Omanis.
00:31:05.280And rather than waiting 60 days as the memorandum of misunderstanding that was signed between Trump and the Ayatollah originally called for in June, where they were going to be given a 60 day toll free access to kind of get all the oil and stuff moving out of the strait again.0.58
00:31:23.380That will not happen. As soon as this deal is finalized, which could come possibly by Friday, as soon as this deal is finalized, the Iranians and Omanis will create a joint tolling system and they will both be able to basically start making money off this, which is a complete strategic defeat for the United States.
00:31:48.700Trump said Trump said, no, I'm going to assume this is where you're going here.0.89
00:31:52.800Trump said that we would charge toll, that it would be us.
00:31:56.580Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was never on the books.
00:31:59.060That was a Trump verbal diarrhea moment again.
00:34:46.160I think on our end, when we talk about a big giant glow will destroy your entire civilization,
00:34:51.300where we have military service members issuing complaints about their superior officers,
00:34:55.760telling them they're at war to light the signal fire for Jesus to return.
00:34:59.080And then we're told we have to go to war with them to end a theocracy.
00:35:02.320It's all just a bit absurd. And I think when you when you look at our relationship with the wars in the Middle East, it's very clear. Israel has this insane influence on us. Zionists really control our foreign policy. That's why I call it an occupied government. Right. When you look at Ukraine, when you look at Ukraine colony. Yeah. Oh, 100 percent. King George the third over there right now. 250 years. Then they did it to us again. It is what it is. But with Zelensky, this is a guy that was like Kevin Spacey.
00:35:49.480And I got a bridge to sell you as well.
00:35:50.800But when it comes to Zelensky and his activities, they're saying they're nearly totally out of air defense.
00:35:56.020What's going on there? And what's the reality of these fortress cities in Ukraine?
00:36:00.640Yeah. And if you can go to go to the Weikert brief on Substack, that is the the featured article today was my breakdown because I've been unlike the Western media.
00:36:10.120I am closely monitoring what's going on on the eastern Ukrainian front.
00:36:16.640Basically, the Ukrainians knew this was coming.
00:36:18.900And when I say this, about a month ago, maybe two months ago now, that was about a month ago, the Russians quietly took Konstantinovka, which was one of those fortress.
00:36:28.440I think there's three or four of them.
00:36:29.840That was one of those fortress cities.
00:36:32.220And once they took the Konstantinovka, they were then able to steadily begin a classic Russian encirclement campaign of the remaining handful of fortress cities.0.57
00:36:44.920And these are cities that the Russia, the Ukrainians have spent years building up into basically fortresses, knowing full well that this was kind of the last line of defense.
00:36:54.780This is Donetsk. This is kind of the last line of defense before the Russians can completely take all of eastern Ukraine, the Russian speaking part of Ukraine, by the way.
00:37:05.340And so that was the last holdout. And they did a good job.0.91
00:37:08.640Look, they've been able to hold out for three or four years now, two, three years, really.0.98
00:37:12.660But the Russians are just this. The attritional warfare is what Russia does. And they've ground the Ukrainians out. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are throwing whatever weapons and men and women that they have at this problem set. And the Ukrainians figured pretty quickly that. Yeah, go ahead.0.96
00:37:31.880No, no. I don't like it when you're not patriotic. It's patriotic to support press
00:37:36.560gangs. It's patriotic to support conscription. Like here's the thing for people who are not0.95
00:37:41.200careful. It's going to happen here. Seriously. That's they're doing AI simulations on the draft
00:37:45.100right now. But in Ukraine, they don't even worry about the draft. They show up to your house. I
00:37:48.520saw one guy is like I was playing video games and I beat the guy. I made him mad. He said,
00:37:52.340I'm going to find you. And then the van showed up and took him to the front line. And there's
00:37:56.620countless videos of this. This is just a reality to people in the West. They need to understand,
00:38:01.500you know just it's a world war already we're talking about ukraine we're talking about the
00:38:05.380middle east just talk about how wide this conflict zone is the caspian sea and all of that as well
00:38:09.820yeah well the the good news here is if we do however temporarily and i think it'll go 60 days
00:38:16.360or maybe 180 days if we do get a reprieve in iran uh the the the prospects of this really going
00:38:23.980global are frozen for a period of time because what you had up until a week ago was yeah ukrainians
00:38:30.860And there's a reason they did this firing on those Iranian ships or the Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea.
00:38:37.000And it's because the gains the Russians are making on the eastern front.
00:38:40.780So basically, once Konstantinovka fell to the Russians, the Ukrainians, Kiev, they all realize, uh-oh, it's only a matter of like weeks, maybe a couple months before we lose those fortress cities.
00:38:54.800Well, they start doing these, you know, impressment things where they're gathering men and women off the street.
00:38:59.740But also they started doing the drone attacks into Russia proper, targeting civilian soft targets, gasoline stations with lots of people waiting.
00:39:10.160They started targeting the the refineries.
00:39:12.620They started targeting the wheat production, the wheat transportation, not only in the Black Sea, but out of the Sea of Azov, which is, you know, huge.
00:39:21.580That's the wheat coming out of southern Russia is a major contributor to food stuff for the global south.
00:39:29.140And we we wouldn't tolerate having this done to us ever.
00:39:32.860Like, this is the point that I want to draw from this.
00:39:35.340And we would have we yeah, though, this would have been nuclear war by now if this were done to us.
00:39:47.220Well, people in the West, they have this attitude of like, we can just get away with it.
00:39:50.700We can just keep doing it. We can keep bombing them. We keep paying for the bombs.
00:39:53.720Trump says, oh, it's beautiful. We're not bombing them.
00:39:56.080I sell the Europeans the bombs and the missiles and the equipment.1.00
00:39:59.140And then they get to do it. Right. Right. You don't get to just pass the Russians are returning the favor, by the way, in Iran.1.00
00:40:03.960Right. Most of those bases that have been destroyed of ours have been thanks to Russian targeting.
00:40:09.160Most of the ships. Well, technically, no ship has been damaged.
00:40:13.340Wink. But, you know, the U.S. Navy, I think, has suffered some damage or near damage.
00:40:18.520Most of that is right. Most of that is because of the Russian satellite telemetry they're providing the Iranian missile missile guys.0.75
00:40:26.580So anyway, let me just go back to the Ukraine thing, because the reason Ukraine is doing these drone strikes, the reason Ukraine desperately tried to destroy and get the Iranians to attack them, which was the goal.0.73
00:40:39.620They wanted Iran to attack. And we know the Iranians were prepared to do three missile attacks in the last week on Ukraine proper, and they were talked out of it by the Russians.0.56
00:40:48.800The reason that the Ukrainians were doing this is because they knew if left alone, the Russians were going to take eastern Ukraine.
00:40:58.820And once they take those remaining fortress cities, they will then, the Russians, have a straight shot flat land.
00:41:06.040It'll be a run into the Dnipro River system.0.54
00:41:09.180The Ukrainians are desperately trying to reform a new defensive line there.
00:41:13.700It's not as easy to defend there as it was in those original fortress cities.
00:41:17.820The Russians are talking about conscripting 250 to 500,000 troops after the September legislative elections.
00:41:25.700I think that's what will happen. And then they'll be able to send those additional troops into the Dnepro defenses.
00:41:31.640They'll take them and then they have the pick of their of the litter.0.80
00:41:34.420Either they can go for Odessa, which I have been told by my Russian sources is the end point.0.62
00:41:40.060That's where they want to end the war is holding Odessa or they could conceivably take Kiev and collapse the whole thing.
00:41:45.300Yeah. Let me ask you about that, because if they take Odessa, that's their only deep water port, right?
00:41:50.760That's Ukraine's only deep water port. Yes.
00:41:52.500So it's game over for them as like a world power.0.91
00:41:56.740If if the the Russians would be smart to end it there, because what they basically do is leave NATO and the United States with a rump Ukraine.0.95
00:42:04.900That's basically a welfare queen. And, you know, it has nothing to offer all the rare or all the blessed rare earths that we kept hearing about.0.95
00:42:13.160guess what? When the deal was made, they were already under Russian feet. Now they'll really0.96
00:42:18.020be under Russian feet. So Ukraine, Western Ukraine, a rump state, Galicia, it basically0.88
00:42:24.320becomes useless. It's a nonentity. It's a it's a it's a welfare queen for the United States and
00:42:31.300European tax. It's the perfect end equation for, you know, the Western transnational capital
00:42:36.880Zionist globalist agenda, because you get to destroy this country, you get to take it out,0.88
00:42:41.440And then you can rebuild it in whatever image you want to do.
00:42:44.360And Larry Fink, he went over there with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff and he met with
00:43:13.020How does that change the world order when and if that happens, Brandon?
00:43:17.220So you have two things happening at once.
00:43:19.200And again, this is why they are connected and why we are, if not in a world war, we're almost there.
00:43:24.840You have the collapse of American military power in Iran in about six months.
00:43:28.920That is that happened at about six months.
00:43:30.660It's never we've never seen anything like this.
00:43:32.680And this was a strategic defeat on a grand strategic level.
00:43:36.100So U.S. military power is over in that part of the world. The collapse of Ukraine, which is inevitable, I think, at this point, is basically the end of NATO. NATO goes on probably in name only. It's basically like the EU. It's there. But OK, what does that mean?
00:43:52.980And that's basically the end of the U.S.-led post-Cold War world.
00:43:58.180The real money, the real military power is now in Eurasia.
00:44:09.880My concern at that point, and there are reports this morning that the Pentagon is now going
00:44:14.320to rewrite their nuclear warfare doctrine to make the deployment of tactical, non-strategic
00:44:19.640nuclear weapons in warfare easier to do.
00:44:22.420Hold on. Let's not gloss over that here. What are you just breaking right here for people that don't know about this?
00:44:29.940So the Pentagon is going to make it easier to use nuclear weapons in a future war, basically. Non-strategic nukes, tactical nukes, small yield nukes, because the conventional capacity has been drained so badly.
00:44:43.400I just talked to Mark Kansian of CSIS the last hour on Mario's show, and he said that for the next four to five years, America is in what's known as the window of vulnerability.
00:44:55.140We've blown through our critical stockpiles.
00:45:09.780I then in my head paired what he just told me with this morning's report that the Pentagon is rewriting their nuclear warfare doctrine to basically make it liberal, more liberal in the use of of nuclear, easier to use nuclear weapons in a non-nuclear war.
00:45:27.180So what that tells me is to plug this to close the window of vulnerability over the next five years, the DOD or Department of War is basically going to say it's OK to use nukes.
00:47:27.900We don't anymore. Think about losing that. How crazy is that? Break that down.
00:47:31.900Well, look, you know, and I keep bringing this up to people. I used to work at the National Interest. It's a great publication. Wonderful people. It was Nixon's think tank that him and Kissinger created in the early 80s and the Center for the National Interest, the publications of the National Interest.
00:47:46.780But anyway, in the pages of The National Interest in 1994, you had Jean Kirkpatrick, the former U.N. ambassador under Reagan, who was very much a neocon.
00:47:56.820She wrote the essay Dictators, Ships and Democracies.
00:47:59.900But she sided with Pat Buchanan in 1994.
00:48:03.640She wrote A Normal Country in a Normal Time.
00:48:06.120And in that three-and-a-half-page, four-page essay, she outlined in 1994 how we needed to basically bring the legions home, that we had no business anymore, the Cold War was over, we defeated communism, the threat was gone, that was a unique moment, she said, in our history, and now we needed to go back to what George Washington wanted.
00:48:24.740She was writing this in support of her colleague, Pat Buchanan, who was receiving at the time a lot of flack as he was saying these things.
00:48:32.520Now we're in a position again where we've completely broken the back of U.S. military hegemony, U.S. military power.
00:48:39.340We have to reassess the depleted arsenal, the depleted SPR, the depletion we're going through.
00:48:45.200All of this is a golden opportunity, Rex.
00:48:47.560We now can go back to what my new book coming out in November through Tucker Carlson Books is about.
00:48:52.680It's called Fortress Americas. We go back to Western hemispheric defense. We go back to the
00:48:58.960ideas of the founding fathers, the new Monroe Doctrine. We don't get involved anymore in these
00:49:05.040wars on the periphery. We stop poking the Russians. The Russians get their part of the world.0.95
00:49:12.060The Chinese get their part of the world. We get our part of the world. And we run this thing
00:49:16.320together. And that's the great irony of this war against multipolarity from the West. It's really0.76
00:49:21.340They created multipolarity. I mean, look at BRICS, look at SIPs, right? Biden weaponized Swift1.00
00:49:25.700against the Russians and also froze a bunch of their assets. So they created an alternative
00:49:29.380system, right? Same thing with even Baidu, like the Chinese, like GPS. So we've done gain-of-function1.00
00:49:35.360research on a whole bunch of things we shouldn't have. I think that's kind of the takeaway of the
00:49:39.740past, you know, decade or two. And I think more people are waking up to that, Brandon. I think
00:49:43.280you do excellent work. Plug your book, plug your website, plug your articles. Where can people find
00:49:47.180you yeah well the newest book like i said it's coming out november 3rd or 10th i think and sky
00:49:52.180horses the tucker carlson is an imprint uh so it's tucker carlson books um and it's called
00:49:57.800fortress america's a new monroe doctrine uh and it makes clear this is not an ode to imperialism
00:50:04.020this is about trade and reinforcing our defensive perimeter then the other place you can find me is
00:50:09.480the weikert brief on substack and i am the co-host of the mario knoffel podcast yes and you're going
00:50:15.700to be on there today and tomorrow and later. Yeah, in about 10 more minutes. Yeah. Oh,
00:50:19.920less than that. Yeah. But it's right there. We the Brandon follow him there. Also check out his
00:50:24.540work at 1945 dot com. Brandon, thank you so much. Thank you, guys. Talk to you later. I'm going to
00:50:29.700tell you something right now that is one of the most, if not the most important things I've ever
00:50:34.580talked about on air. And I want you to really listen to me. And I want you to get a pen and
00:50:38.780paper out of your iPhone, out of your droid and type this into your notes. And I want you at lunch
00:50:43.080today or tonight or right now to just go to any search engine you want and type in two different
00:50:50.040names two different words okay two different drugs that have won nobel prizes you name it that
00:50:56.980people don't want you to know about and one of those is ivermectin that everybody knows about
00:51:01.900the other one that most people still don't know about is abenzadol if you do the research then
00:51:07.420it's important to understand that you need to get it from a pharmacy to get it from a doctor
00:51:12.500and we have a sponsor and that's of course bigly and they went and they used the same service as
00:51:19.360you know the big web rx's and great people we've used that have been sponsors to the past but this
00:51:25.240is bigly doing it and the key is it's real it's pharmaceutical and it is a very low price people
00:51:32.220are selling knockoffs of it online without a prescription and a lot of it's fake or a lot of
00:51:36.760it's watered down and adulterated. Because I did a regimen a couple years ago of mebezidol.
00:51:43.760We'll put that on screen. That's how you spell it right there. M-E-B-E-N-D-A-Z-O-L-E. And it
00:51:49.820didn't have any effect. I bought it off of Amazon. And then I did more research and they said most0.83
00:51:53.540of that stuff's fake. So I went and I got it from a doctor and it was incredible. And my own medical
00:51:59.900doctor owns clinics all over the state of Texas had already been pushing it on me for years and
