00:00:00.000 Israel cannot let this stand. They cannot have peace with Iran, and they're not going to.
00:00:05.680 So no matter what, if this Memorandum of Understanding becomes a, honest to God, peace deal, it's going to be, no matter what, a pause. 0.88
00:00:18.680 it's just a pause at the end of the day, because the tactical reality of Israel is that up to this 0.65
00:00:26.500 point, they have spent all of their reputation overseas. They've spent all of their goodwill.
00:00:32.140 They've ruined their reputation worldwide. And what have they gotten in return? A little sliver
00:00:37.380 of Gaza, a little chunk of Syria taken over for the time, you know, a couple of villages in Lebanon. 0.99
00:00:45.100 Is that worth it? Do you think that's worth it? It will only be worth it if Israel is entirely in their hands, including Gaza and the West Bank, if they get the Golan Heights and if they get the entire bottom half of Lebanon and Iran is rendered completely impotent and incapable of responding to Israeli aggression like Syria. 0.97
00:01:06.760 You know, Israel would routinely bomb Syria and Syria had no ability to hit them back. 0.94
00:01:11.540 That's the ideal condition that Israel wants to see every other country in the region rendered down to. 0.91
00:01:17.320 And they're not going to stop till that's the case.
00:01:19.260 So that hasn't changed. 0.94
00:01:21.240 That's the unstoppable force that is now running into the economic reality of the Strait of Hormuz, destroying the world economy, which, as I always said when it came to the war in Iran, was kind of the point. 0.96
00:01:31.260 I don't even think it was necessarily an unfortunate side effect.
00:01:34.060 I think it may have been a primary driver.
00:01:36.760 the memorandum of understanding between america and iran it's not a peace deal quite yet it's
00:01:49.300 another aspect of this iran conflict sort of falls in one of these gray areas it's not a war
00:01:54.400 but it's kind of a war it's we have peace but it's not really a peace and we have ceasefire but
00:01:59.560 that doesn't mean that we cease firing or anything it's all a little bit wonky when it comes to the
00:02:04.640 war in iran and the memorandum of understanding is no different it was a couple weeks ago i was
00:02:09.500 reading an article on air on the war room about goldman sachs talking about how basically mid-june
00:02:17.740 was the longest that this conflict could go on without absolutely catastrophic and devastating
00:02:23.320 domino effects that destroyed the world economy so i don't i don't know if we can find the cliff
00:02:29.240 i mean we do so much stuff it's like it all just gets lost in the mix but probably a month ago
00:02:34.320 So I sat and went, OK, so the war is going to be over mid-June.
00:02:37.500 You can put your money on that because that's what Goldman Sachs did.
00:02:40.140 And what do you know?
00:02:41.220 Midway through June, you get a memorandum of understanding because when it comes to
00:02:44.260 the Iran war, there's sort of a.
00:02:46.980 Was it the unstoppable force versus the immovable object? 0.72
00:02:51.260 The immovable object in this case is the catastrophic economic effects of shutting
00:02:56.360 down the short of Hormuz for so long.
00:02:58.720 And essentially, the greatest economist in America decided that mid-June was the
00:03:04.160 deadline, that things had to get back to normal by the end of June or else they would suffer.
00:03:10.500 So, you know, you can't let the bank. So we can't have Goldman Sachs suffering. After all,
00:03:14.160 we cannot let BlackRock and Vanguard dip even in the slightest. So, of course,
00:03:19.520 the war would be over by mid-June. So there's the economic reality that's undeniable and
00:03:25.200 unavoidable. It has to end at this point or else it's not just a pointless conflict
00:03:32.240 which we've gained nothing and spent enormous amounts of money and energy and lives to achieve
00:03:38.180 nothing it becomes like the destruction of the entire world a feedback loop of depression that
00:03:44.080 would render america totally destroyed so that's sort of the unstoppable that would be the immovable
00:03:51.400 object the unstoppable force is the greater israel project and not just the desire of israel but the
00:03:58.520 necessity for Israel to destroy Iran, to use the impetus that started on October 7th, 2023, 0.61
00:04:05.240 to carry that through all the way to utter destruction of Iran, to leave it totally 0.83
00:04:10.420 destroyed like another Syria or another Iraq, another place. The only, the only acceptable 0.99
00:04:17.200 outcome of this, according to Israel, is an Iran that is incapable of responding to antagonization, 0.96
00:04:24.440 antagonization whatever to being attacked that's the only possible positive and and really
00:04:30.800 existential result for them yeah here it is goldman team led by dan streuven said in a
00:04:38.260 note published late monday that it now expects exports to the stratiform moves to normalize
00:04:41.340 around pre-war levels around the end of july rather than august although given the reporting
00:04:44.860 knowledge there's still risks to this assumption in part owing to the trend of the last few months
00:04:48.080 when president trump made repeated claims on the cusp of a deal only for negotiations to stutter
00:04:52.200 and the Christ to continue. This one's a little bit different. This one is different. There is
00:04:56.340 the economic reality that this cannot go much longer. We have to basically accept where we are
00:05:02.420 now and make the deal while we can. And people are saying the deal is worse than the deal that
00:05:08.260 Obama originally made. That's a headline on Drudge Report. We'll get into whether it is or not.
00:05:15.360 But the reality for Israel is that they have turned everybody against them here in America,
00:05:20.520 especially the younger generations it might not be this go around but within 10 years as 0.92
00:05:27.260 frankly the boomers die off and the you know reality the truth about israel continues to
00:05:34.720 break through the mainstream media cordon the mainstream media damn you know keeping back the 0.87
00:05:40.020 truth social media circumvents that they're doing everything they can to buy up social media to 0.95
00:05:44.340 silence that i think that's a main part of the digital id push as well we'll get into all that
00:05:49.940 But they are going to be destroyed if they don't become a superpower that is the sole superpower in the Middle East.
00:06:02.460 That's the ultimate goal. 0.67
00:06:03.620 That's what they've been pushing for ever since the attack by Hamas on Israel and the genocide in Gaza.
00:06:11.160 They've destroyed their reputation. 0.79
00:06:12.680 they've made that gamble on the bet that they would be able to take out Iran with Donald Trump 0.92
00:06:17.780 using American forces, take out Iran, and then it would all be worth it. And then, okay, everybody 0.92
00:06:22.640 hates Israel, but who cares? They're a monolithic superpower in the Middle East. And this is what 0.50
00:06:28.600 Benjamin Netanyahu has said. This is what Israelis of all stripes in positions of power
00:06:34.300 have said is their goal. And again, it's not just a goal. It's like they've gone all in.
00:06:38.960 They bet the house on this. If they don't get it, if they don't destroy Iran, if we go back to a situation in which Iran is able to build up and is actually, you know, get some of the sanctions removed and its economy gets to really, you know, expand even more. 0.94
00:06:55.880 And I mean, it's unacceptable. So I don't think Israel is going to accept this. The reaction from the Israeli firsters out there is absolute outrage. And, you know, they're apoplectic. It's actually kind of hilarious. They're the panicans now. They're the panicans. They're no longer MAGA. They all hate Trump all of a sudden, which is typical and, you know, obvious that this was always going to happen, that they were going to basically criticize you for daring to suggest that Trump was making a mistake here and basically say that you have to 0.60
00:07:25.880 submit to trump's will and their will unquestioningly or else you're a you're a panic and
00:07:32.260 you're a leftist you might as well be aoc if you disagree with their approach on israel and now
00:07:37.320 suddenly they're the ones criticizing trump and saying what a bad thing this deal is and how he's
00:07:42.420 betrayed them they basically turned on him completely which was always the predictable
00:07:46.380 outcome and i don't understand how trump didn't know that or maybe he did and he's doing it anyway
00:07:51.940 We'll go through it. But essentially, Israel cannot let this stand. They cannot have peace with Iran, and they're not going to. So no matter what, if this memorandum of understanding becomes a, honest to God, peace deal, it's going to be, no matter what, a pause.
00:08:14.040 It's just a pause at the end of the day, because the tactical reality of Israel is that up to this point, they have spent all of their reputation overseas.
00:08:25.780 They've spent all of their goodwill. 0.61
00:08:27.520 They've ruined their reputation worldwide.
00:08:30.120 And what have they gotten in return? 0.94
00:08:32.000 A little sliver of Gaza, a little chunk of Syria taken over for the time, you know, a couple of villages in Lebanon. 0.92
00:08:40.480 Is that worth it? 1.00
00:08:42.020 Do you think that's worth it? 0.90
00:08:42.980 It will only be worth it if Israel is entirely in their hands, including Gaza and the West Bank, if they get the Golan Heights and if they get the entire bottom half of Lebanon and Iran is rendered completely impotent and incapable of responding to Israeli aggression like Syria. 0.80
00:09:02.120 Israel would routinely bomb Syria, and Syria had no ability to hit them back. That's the ideal condition that Israel wants to see every other country in the region rendered down to, and they're not going to stop until that's the case. 0.90
00:09:14.780 So that hasn't changed. That's the unstoppable force that is now running into the economic reality of the Strait of Hormuz, destroying the world economy, which, as I always said when it came to the war in Iran, was kind of the point. 0.91
00:09:28.180 I don't even think it was necessarily an unfortunate side effect.
00:09:31.960 I think it may have been a primary driver.
00:09:36.120 So really, the only question at this point is.
00:09:40.000 Why did we do this?
00:09:41.940 What was the point of the Iran war? 0.72
00:09:44.880 And when should we have stopped? 0.76
00:09:47.900 When should Israel have stopped pursuing this course of action? 0.71
00:09:52.600 Because you could go back to like maybe a reasonable thing would be like maybe four days after the war started. 0.83
00:09:58.180 Maybe four days after the war started, it was supposed to be a four day adventure. 0.66
00:10:02.460 The idea was that there would be a decapitation strike and Iran would fall apart and whoever was left would be desperate to make a deal with America. 0.75
00:10:13.120 And it would be a four day in and out Venezuela, you know, Maduro capture style operation when it was obvious that that wasn't the case, that that failed, that the Iranians had actually prepared for that. 0.89
00:10:23.920 and it made contingency plans that made such plan inviolable, maybe that would have been a good time 0.58
00:10:29.920 to stop. Maybe if we'd stopped four days in, we'd be in a hell of a lot better position than we're
00:10:34.600 in right now. We certainly wouldn't have lost $100 billion worth of equipment in the intervening 90
00:10:40.380 plus days. You could go a little bit further, you know, maybe maybe if we hadn't or if Israel
00:10:47.260 hadn't murdered the negotiators in the early weeks of the Iran conflict, we could have had
00:10:52.440 a better agreement, but unfortunately they did. So we didn't, they did murder them. We didn't get
00:10:59.060 the deal. So here we are. I would say you could go even further back. I would say the time to
00:11:05.320 have slammed the brakes on probably would have been around like October 9th, 2023. 0.97
00:11:11.760 It should have been in the days after October 7th that the Israeli population, the American
00:11:18.320 population the world media should have pumped the brakes a little bit and said well hold on 0.54
00:11:23.100 hold on what actually happened here and is this actually an existential threat that demands our
00:11:30.540 immediate lashing out militarily against everybody and committing horrible war crimes against
00:11:37.640 innocent people like maybe we should have pumped the brakes then and said well what's actually
00:11:43.280 going on here who's actually responsible for this and how do we actually prevent it from ever
00:11:47.680 happening in the future, because maybe if that had happened, maybe if there had been a little
00:11:52.060 bit of patience, been a little bit of thoughtfulness involved, maybe people would have
00:11:57.120 understood, OK, yes, the attack on October 7th was bad, but it was also allowed to happen by
00:12:02.260 Netanyahu. It was also impossible to have occurred without the complicity of the IDF
00:12:08.060 in the region, allowing the invasion to happen, the stand down order, followed by the Hannibal
00:12:14.880 directive in which most of the death occurred with helicopter gunships, you know, killing
00:12:21.480 everybody at the Nova Fest, death tolls that were then attributed to Hamas and used to
00:12:25.960 justify the invasion of Gaza, which still hasn't gone as planned.
00:12:30.540 Hezbollah is still racking up winds against Israel.
00:12:34.360 Hamas is still not even disarmed, let alone destroyed completely. 0.51
00:12:38.920 Maybe all the way back then, if you could go back in time and choose a different life
00:12:43.940 path. Wouldn't it have been better? Wouldn't it have been the more desirable outcome to not
00:12:50.840 sacrifice? God only knows how many hundreds of thousands of people murdered in the last two and
00:12:56.760 a half years of conflict and the reputation overseas that has been destroyed and that will 1.00
00:13:02.780 eventually inevitably lead to your destruction because Israel exists entirely because of the
00:13:09.460 protection of america and once that goes away once the people in america a majority amount
00:13:16.020 no longer want to support israel israel cannot exist on its own maybe it would have been better
00:13:21.520 all the way back then to choose a different path that different path is always available
00:13:27.000 and it looks like trump is trying to take it whether israelis and pro-israel americans
00:13:33.320 allow him to do that. I guess we'll wait and see. Mark Levin, not happy. Mark Levin is a complete
00:13:40.180 panicking at this point. He's turned against Trump. He is the woke Reich. He basically is a
00:13:48.080 leftist. He's AOC. And it's very sad to see. So it's not exactly it's like, yeah, we took a week 0.57
00:13:56.420 off, but it's like everything has unfolded exactly as we foresaw, because it's all kind of
00:14:02.220 inevitable and obvious that iran had made contingency plans to deal with the style of
00:14:08.420 attacks that benjamin netanyahu convinced trump to undertake that they had the ability to close
00:14:17.240 the straight of hormuz it's like i feel ridiculous for even saying it's like of course they could
00:14:20.760 close the straight of hormuz whoever thought they couldn't so i you know i've been wearing a tactical
00:14:30.560 belt like that i've got one on right now i've been wearing it for more than 20 years that belt that
00:14:35.680 you are showing right there with with the the rigidity of it the strength of it you see because
00:14:42.160 i carry i i carry a firearm i've carried for you know over 20 years uh that belt is a 75 belt
00:14:49.120 normally every day at retail you have it for what 39 is that what it is yes sir 39 so i don't know
00:14:57.700 how you guys do it i really don't know but you said your bigly guys have put that together yes
00:15:02.880 that is the belt if you go to a firearms course and you train with the most experienced firearms
00:15:08.760 trainers they will wear a belt just like that because you're carrying spare magazines and you're
00:15:13.080 carrying a pistol and if you're doing even ar rifle training you're carrying spare ar magazines
00:15:17.620 you have to have the rigidity and the durability of the belt so that belt is a steal i'm gonna buy
00:15:23.220 one i might buy more than one but yeah great job alex well what i love is the buckle the way it
00:15:30.800 just clamps down the way you can set it exactly how you want it uh and and thanks to bigly i bought
00:15:35.960 one of these like a year ago like i said on air for about 75 and then i said hey why don't you
00:15:40.580 get this and they were able to buy a whole bunch of good quality ones so there's only for 39 and
00:15:45.000 that funds the operation we bring people whatever's the highest rated whatever's the coolest
00:15:48.580 and we have this great water filtration system highest rated filters non-detectable level really
00:15:52.960 great stainless steel. We're trying to sell people things that will empower and enrich their lives
00:15:57.180 and fund our operations. So it's a win-win for everybody. But Mike, I appreciate your plug for
00:16:02.720 the belt. These things are really, really strong. I'd love to. And they're also lightweight at the
00:16:06.860 same time. Yeah. And about your water filter there, you know, this is becoming critical
00:16:11.680 because some of the local water supply is becoming contaminated with the return of water from the
00:16:18.180 data center cooling systems. And one of the things I'm going to reveal in the coming hour is
00:16:22.440 how we saw very high aluminum and also high copper in addition to lead in the water samples.
00:16:29.180 Now, that's going to get worse and worse because aluminum and copper, those are some of the metals
00:16:32.860 that the water comes into contact with in the circulation system. And a lot of data centers
00:16:36.720 will return water to the local water table, but it's not returned as pure deionized water. It's
00:16:43.160 increasingly contaminated. So, Alex, your water filter being back in stock right now,
00:16:49.300 i think is absolutely critical what uh are does that have the filters that go inside like like
00:16:54.620 we've seen before that kind of configuration yes it's got it's got dual double uh carbon
00:17:00.300 you know highest rated i mean it's as good as anything out there at a lower price we're very
00:17:04.020 proud of that's what that's what everybody needs and it has to be gravity because again we can't
00:17:09.620 trust the power grid all the time so you know there's nothing wrong with a you know regular
00:17:14.000 household water filter system but you need a backup system that's gravity only and that's
00:17:19.840 that's what this is what's the name of it again they gave it the name the ultimate platinum
00:17:24.180 ultimate platinum it's the highest quality stable steel the highest rated uh filters it's got extra
00:17:29.220 fluoride filters too if you want those it really is an amazing system we're so proud of it the
00:17:33.780 problem is getting enough that's key yeah yes that that's that has been the problem is the
00:17:38.960 the supply chain but if you've nailed it down people need to take advantage of that i'll go
00:17:42.720 into more details about the water contamination
00:17:44.960 coming right up. I can't wait for this exclusive
00:17:47.020 because you own a company that tests water
00:17:49.060 and tests everything else. We'll be right back with Mike Adams.
00:17:52.460 I want to explain why I'm
00:17:53.060 so excited about this.
00:17:55.340 This is a hit. This is the
00:17:57.100 best. Royal Flushes. Mega 0.94
00:17:59.160 Supreme Good. This is a home run
00:18:01.360 and this sexy beast is going to 1.00
00:18:03.080 help so many people cut out all the garbage out of their water. 0.99
00:18:05.320 It looks like Marilyn Monroe to me right now.
00:18:07.040 I've never been sexually attracted to like a sports
00:18:09.040 car. I'm actually physically attracted to this
00:18:11.020 right now because i know it's going to help people i'm being silly what's sexy is is it's great i
00:18:15.520 know a home run when i see it and i know this is just another big victory so thank you so much for
