00:00:00.000 Just unfortunately, we're just in a really in a bad position.
00:00:02.640 I hope President Trump and I pray for him to get some clarity in all this and just realize that he's getting bad advice from a lot of the people who encouraged him to get into this war.
00:00:10.280 He tunes them out and he just says, hey, I'm going to come home.
00:00:12.780 I'm going to bring the troops home.
00:00:14.000 I think he should look at the long arc of history.
00:00:16.380 We've gotten out of other wars and temporarily it's been bad for presidents.
00:00:19.740 But in the long run, when we got out of the wars, it ended up being the right thing to do for a president.
00:00:24.880 So I think if any president could sell this, it would, you know, could potentially be President Trump.
00:00:29.740 Unfortunately, I just have not seen him behave in a way that makes any sense to me recently.
00:00:34.680 So I do fear that we're going to continue this escalation cycle.
00:00:37.660 Where would we be in the next 10 to 14 days?
00:00:39.740 I think that's how you end up with something like a ground incursion, because President
00:00:42.980 Trump's just going to get frustrated with the lack of results from this air campaign.
00:00:47.220 And then I think, you know, at a bad moment where he's mad and wants to get something
00:00:51.280 done, he signs off on some sort of a ground invasion of either one of the islands or,
00:00:56.380 you know, Vandera Boss, the port there that we've been kind of doing some shaping operations around
00:00:59.920 through our air campaign. That's truly what I fear, because his options are just really limited
00:01:05.320 right now. The idea that he's going to be able to, you know, choke them off economically, you know,
00:01:10.940 I saw a lot of like happy, you know, happy talk about how the economic warfare that we're waging 0.83
00:01:16.140 against Iran, you know, that's going to be the final nail in the coffin. It's like, look, these 0.99
00:01:19.640 guys have been under some form of heavy sanction since 1979. There's not much more that we can do
00:01:24.940 them and as a matter of fact the dollar is even weaker because of everything we did in ukraine
00:01:28.300 and there's just all these alternative workarounds for them to sell their oil on the market right now
00:01:33.420 so again the iranians know they have time on their side and i think they know that they have
00:01:37.580 more options than we do regardless of you know how we want to beat our chests here in america
00:01:41.580 this war is not in our best interest expanding the war is not in our best interest and for the
00:01:46.220 president to think about anything else and to listen to people that are explaining to him like
00:01:49.820 you know all these complicated plans for how we finish the job and how this is really some sort
00:01:53.020 sort of a checkmate on China, et cetera. He needs to tune those people out and he needs to listen to 0.94
00:01:57.640 Donald Trump in 2016 when he spoke plainly and clearly about what was in the best interest for
00:02:02.880 the American people. And if he starts thinking that way, I think he could still save this entire
00:02:06.920 situation, but I fear he's not. We're in a tough spot. I mean, President Trump has very limited
00:02:11.620 options, unfortunately. His best hand still remains just to, I would say, to walk away from
00:02:16.900 this whole thing and do the best he can here domestically to declare victory. But he's not
00:02:21.000 doing that. And I fear that he's not doing that. And I fear that he is going to escalate this
00:02:25.120 because now that the Iranians have hit us once more, the Iranians aren't giving him what he 1.00
00:02:29.440 needs. President Trump feels like he needs a piece of paper, some kind of a formal agreement
00:02:34.500 that says Iran's going to give him something so that he can say that he got a deal. I think the
00:02:39.600 Iranians are aware of this and they are not going to give him a deal. So right now, Iran has the 0.90
00:02:44.720 upper hand in whether or not Iran chooses to kind of go for broke and to try and get us sucked into 0.93
00:02:49.800 a larger conflict or they just keep us you know strangled economically that's kind of where things
00:02:54.440 stand right now real time uncensored unstoppable alexjoneslive.com take a stand share the link
00:03:05.540 do you want to fight you better believe you got one
00:03:19.800 We are now being joined by the eighth director of the National Counterterrorism Center, a combat veteran, special forces operator and all around man's man.
00:03:29.100 Joe Kent joins me here for the third hour. I want to get right into it.
00:03:33.280 The updates on the war. It's July 30th, 2026. The Middle East continues to be on fire.
00:03:38.220 Since the last time we talked, Joe, we've lost four additional American service members that we know about. 0.96
00:03:43.360 Their names, Tyler, Sarah, Angel, and Michael, all now deceased in a war of choice, ultimately manufactured by another country.
00:03:51.280 Joe, where do things stand today? 0.98
00:03:53.260 Unfortunately, we're not in a good position at all.
00:03:55.900 I would say even worse than the last time that we spoke.
00:03:58.520 Like you said, we tragically lost some soldiers.
00:04:01.580 We did our round of retaliation strikes that lasted for quite some time. 0.98
00:04:05.440 There was back and forth between us and the Iranians. 0.89
00:04:07.660 And then we attempted this, I think, sort of an effort to have a ceasefire so we could get more space for the negotiations.
00:04:15.160 But the Iranians basically said that they're not playing that, and they just restarted the hostilities by launching some cruise missiles back at one of our bases in Jordan.
00:04:22.960 Since then, we did retaliatory strikes against one of the Iranian-backed militias inside Iraq.
00:04:29.160 But there's some technical issues we can get into there.
00:04:31.800 That is part of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces.
00:04:36.240 That is part of the Iraqi military.
00:04:38.380 So now we're doing strikes against basically the guys whose paychecks that we're paying inside of Iraq.
00:04:44.040 Now, those guys, allegedly, they did take some strikes against Saudi, hit a couple of the different oil fields there.
00:04:50.060 The Houthis said, no, that wasn't them.
00:04:51.560 That was actually us.
00:04:52.380 The Houthis also hit some of the oil fields.
00:04:53.940 We have the Houthis that are even more active now in shutting down the Bab al-Mandib. 0.99
00:04:58.300 The Straits of Hormuz continues to be strangled by the Iranians. 0.97
00:05:01.800 So we're in a tough spot. 1.00
00:05:03.340 I mean, President Trump has very limited options, unfortunately.
00:05:06.120 His best hand still remains just to, I would say, to walk away from this whole thing and
00:05:10.940 do the best he can here domestically to declare victory.
00:05:13.540 But he's not doing that.
00:05:14.800 And I fear that he's not doing that. 1.00
00:05:16.440 And I fear that he is going to escalate this because now that the Iranians have hit us 0.98
00:05:20.360 once more, the Iranians aren't giving him what he needs. 0.96
00:05:23.300 President Trump feels like he needs a piece of paper, some kind of a formal agreement
00:05:27.800 that says, you know, Iran's going to give him something so that he can say that he got a deal.
00:05:32.320 I think the Iranians are aware of this and they are not going to give him a deal. So right now,
00:05:37.320 Iran has the upper hand and whether or not Iran chooses to kind of go for broke and to try and 0.90
00:05:42.380 get us sucked into a larger conflict or they just keep us strangled economically. That's kind of 0.96
00:05:47.320 where things stand right now. Powerful. Stay with us.
00:05:57.800 the answer to 1984 is 1776 you're listening to the alex jones show
00:06:08.000 yeah we ain't doing no hasbara here today it's the real news the real information the real
00:06:15.460 guests that can deliver it all we just had the powerful michael yawn on for the prior hour we
00:06:20.840 have joe kent joining us now again here in the third hour with andrew wilson coming up joe how
00:06:25.960 are you doing today with all of the news? You know, I'm doing well. Again, like I said,
00:06:32.100 I wish we had a silver lining that we could put on this. Just unfortunately, we're just in a really
00:06:36.380 in a bad position. I hope President Trump and I pray for him to get some clarity in all this and
00:06:40.320 just realize that he's getting bad advice from a lot of the people who encouraged him to get into
00:06:44.700 this war. He tunes them out and he just says, hey, I'm going to come home. I'm going to bring
00:06:48.040 the troops home. I think he should look at the long arc of history. We've gotten out of other
00:06:52.240 wars and temporarily it's been bad for presidents. But in the long run, when we got out of the wars,
00:06:56.780 it ended up being the right thing to do for a president. So I think if any president could
00:07:00.900 sell this, it would, you know, could potentially be President Trump. Unfortunately, I just have
00:07:05.660 not seen him behave in a way that makes any sense to me recently. So I do fear that we're going to
00:07:10.980 continue this escalation cycle. Yeah. The question for me today is like, how are we going to
00:07:16.380 acknowledge the reality? When is reality going to come knocking on the door? Because everything we
00:07:21.200 talked about we've talked about for weeks months at this point a lot of people have all the
00:07:24.920 geopolitical analysts have we're running low munitions the bases are heavily destroyed the
00:07:30.200 radars are out of commission we've had a number of destroyed aircraft i think the number is over 40
00:07:35.300 that have been taken out of commission if we're going to stay in kind of the second phase of the
00:07:40.580 war and i define the first phase of the war as the 39 days of hell the unleashing of the american
00:07:45.620 military, the bombings over and over and over again.
00:07:48.420 This second phase, this tit for tat, Joe, in your experience or just what does your
00:07:54.600 experience tell you about how much longer we can eke out this tit for tat thing before
00:07:58.860 Trump either has to make major decision, ground invasion, whatever that would mean, perhaps
00:08:03.000 further strikes or does he back off?
00:08:05.480 What do you think?
00:08:06.960 I think he's going to have to make a decision here pretty quickly.
00:08:09.720 And we even heard President Trump say this himself when the MOU first came out and President
00:08:14.880 Trump was justifying why he was going to give the MOU a chance. He said, hey, we were about four
00:08:20.260 weeks away from economic bedlam. And so basically the predictions by a lot of the different oil
00:08:25.360 experts say that we're going to hit a major crisis, not just here in the States, but globally
00:08:29.780 in terms of not just oil, not just gas, but things like fertilizer production, et cetera,
00:08:35.440 here by the end of the summer, fall, winter timeframe. So he doesn't have that long,
00:08:40.360 especially with the tight shot clock of the midterms approaching.
00:08:44.440 So time is not on President Trump's side. 0.90
00:08:46.600 The Iranians know that.
00:08:48.200 And so for the Iranians to continue to do what they're doing right now, it's very advantageous for them. 0.53
00:08:53.900 And so I think that they are more than content to sit back and say there's no way we're going to give President Trump the deal that he wants. 1.00
00:08:59.680 He killed our supreme leader.
00:09:01.000 He brought all this upon us. 0.55
00:09:02.380 We have to basically for the sake of deterrence, but then also for vengeance, we have to bloody his nose. 0.78
00:09:07.440 And I think the debate within Iran is how do they bloody his nose? 0.82
00:09:10.580 Do they do it all at once?
00:09:11.940 Or do they sit back and let the economics and all the different wars start getting lit on fire and just the expansion of the war, the way that Zelensky and others are trying to combine these two fronts, like thinking that that's somehow going to help us?
00:09:24.140 That does not help us out at all. 0.70
00:09:25.960 And I think the Iranians realize that. 1.00
00:09:27.700 So short of President Trump realizing his best move is just to walk away, I do fear that here pretty soon he's going to have to make another decision. 0.85
00:09:35.820 Does he get us further into this?
00:09:37.120 I saw reports on Twitter.
00:09:38.540 I don't know if they're accurate or not, but this sounds right to me, that the Pentagon is saying, hey, boss, we can do another 10 to 15 days of heavy bombing, and that will take out all of Iran's missile capabilities. 0.69
00:09:49.480 I really hope he doesn't even entertain that at this point because the Iranians have shown that they have a very durable system that has been dispersed that's hard for us to vector in on. 0.82
00:09:59.220 So where would we be in the next 10 to 14 days?
00:10:02.140 I think that's how you end up with something like a ground incursion, because President Trump's just going to get frustrated with the lack of results from this air campaign.
00:10:09.900 And then I think, you know, at a bad moment where he's mad and wants to get something done, he signs off on some sort of a ground invasion of either one of the islands or, you know, Vandera Bas, the port there that we've been kind of doing some shaping operations around through our air campaign.
00:10:24.500 That's truly what I fear, because his options are just really limited right now. 0.87
00:10:28.340 The idea that he's going to be able to choke them off economically, I saw a lot of happy talk about how the economic warfare that we're waging against Iran, that's going to be the final nail in the coffin. 0.54
00:10:41.660 It's like, look, these guys have been under some form of heavy sanction since 1979. 0.95
00:10:46.000 There's not much more that we can do to them.
00:10:47.660 And as a matter of fact, the dollar is even weaker because of everything we did in Ukraine.
00:10:50.960 And there's just all these alternative workarounds for them to sell their oil on the market right now.
00:10:55.840 So, again, the Iranians know they have time on their side, and I think they know that they have more options than we do, regardless of how we want to beat our chests here in America.
00:11:04.600 Right. I just think the West has made too many key assumptions, they would say, in intelligence gathering.
00:11:10.000 We've made too many key assumptions. Oh, they're about to fall. We're about to beat them. They're about to be out of missiles.
00:11:16.040 And the reality is I think it's demonstrated our intelligence on the ground has not been good enough.
00:11:20.420 It really hasn't been because they've had the ability to continue the missile strikes, the drone strikes.
00:11:25.380 Trump can say it's obliterated, it's gone, but there's a reality that our ships are parked very far off the coast in the blockade.
00:11:31.940 Because if we got any closer, they'd be under severe threat.
00:11:34.980 And there can be a debate where those are Chinese anti-ship missiles, where the Iranians might have those.
00:11:39.620 The reality is they have a wind condition called the Straddle Hormuz. 0.97
00:11:43.800 We don't really have a wind condition besides taking over their country.
00:11:46.960 And I think it's key. You mentioned earlier, our key allies, our strongest allies, Zelensky and Netanyahu visiting for the state funeral of Lindsey Graham.
00:11:57.300 I guess he was literally in the rotunda. And while they're there, Netanyahu makes a statement or a reporter asks him, are there any cracks in the relationship between you and Trump?
00:12:05.920 He says, no, it's as strong as a wall of granite, which is just to me, it's pretty terrifying because if it's as strong as a wall of granite, it sounds like he's probably going to get what he wants.
00:12:14.420 And then Zelensky comes over here and kind of makes the same implied threat that made Trump outraged when he visited and sat down with Trump and J.D., which is, you have a big ocean.
00:12:24.680 You don't feel pain now, but you'll feel pain later. 0.51
00:12:27.480 So all these vague threats, failed threats, it's simply put, both Netanyahu and Zelensky need a wider conflict in order to stay in power.
00:12:35.220 This is just a reality.
00:12:36.660 Zelensky is a dictator.
00:12:37.800 They don't have elections there anymore.
00:12:39.380 He openly says, we don't have it.
00:12:41.100 It's wartime.
00:12:41.800 We don't have an election.
00:12:42.560 But in the Constitution, it states they have to have it even during wartime. Netanyahu, of course, wanted by his own government, not just the ICJ, wanted by Israel for crimes.
00:12:53.620 They will not be able to prosecute him as long as he remains in power. Just how do you see kind of this new really access to evil forming, man? I don't want to be a part of it.
00:13:01.440 I don't either. And look, there's no advantage to America for being a part of any of these conflicts.
00:13:09.700 I have yet to see any of the hawks, any of the foundation for the defense of democracy, neocons or people who are just cheerleading this war or the Ukraine war.
00:13:19.220 Explain what is actually in it for the for the American people and explain it, explain it in a very, very clear and concise way that makes sense to your average American.
00:13:28.720 And if you say that we have to, like, you know, win over the Donbass, otherwise Putin is going to roll into Paris by Christmas and then he'll be in New York City, you know, by New Year's.
00:13:37.560 It just doesn't make any sense.
00:13:38.620 That's nonsense.
00:13:39.940 This war has been going on now.
00:13:41.540 It's been a bloodbath for well over, you know, we're coming up on our third year. 0.94
00:13:47.000 So, you know, the whole thing there is just completely and totally ridiculous.
00:13:50.520 We've wasted our munitions.
00:13:51.740 We're now provoking essentially a nuclear war.
00:13:54.140 It's already a heavy economic war with the Russians.
00:13:56.620 This has weakened the dollar.
00:13:58.100 It's put us further in debt.
00:13:59.800 So there's no benefit for the American people.
00:14:01.500 And now Zelensky, because he knows that he can kind of expand his war that was kind of
00:14:06.260 out of the spotlight for a while and not really popular with Republicans in general, now he
00:14:10.220 can try and wrap it into the Iran war that although that war is not popular here either, 0.92
00:14:15.580 he sees it as getting more attention and rightfully so.
00:14:18.660 It's getting more attention than his war.
00:14:20.540 So he's trying to now link them.
00:14:22.400 And so are a lot of the neocon backers.
00:14:24.100 And again, for the neocons that say, go in there and finish the job.
00:14:27.100 Number one, they can't define what finishing the job in Iran actually means because most of them have never served a day or they just want us to involve in this thing endlessly and they won't just come out and say it.
00:14:36.020 So they like that slogan a lot more. 0.80
00:14:37.640 No, that's key.
00:14:38.940 That's key.
00:14:39.580 They say they'll even say they're anti-war.
00:14:41.460 They'll say, hey, hey, but it's not a war yet.
00:14:43.740 Joe, in your experience, you've done like 11 or 12 combat deployments, of course, special forces operator.
00:14:49.660 What does that mean when you hear that?
00:14:51.020 What do you think?
00:14:51.660 What do you say?
00:14:53.360 I mean, I've always said, like, please explain to me how that works.
00:14:56.800 If you say finish the job, come up with a plan, tell me how that works.
00:14:59.900 Number one, how we're going to do it and what it accomplishes at the end. 0.91
00:15:03.240 Even if these guys got what they wanted, if the entire regime fell today inside of Iran, that would be an absolute disaster. 0.60
00:15:10.360 And I don't say it as a fan of the revolutionary Islamic Republican guard inside of Iran.
00:15:16.280 I say that just in terms of just the facts on the ground. 0.67
00:15:18.880 You have a country of 90 million people, multiple different ethnic groups, awash with weapons and war right now. 0.55
00:15:24.220 if that government did fall, it would be Libya on steroids that's directly connected to Europe.
00:15:30.500 You'd have massive migration issues. You'd have blowback terrorism issues. It would be an absolute 0.99
00:15:35.340 nightmare and a disaster. So none of this is very well thought through. The Israelis have thought
00:15:39.900 this through, and the Israelis have deployed their very, very powerful lobby here in America to make 0.61
00:15:44.520 the case that we need to continue to try to destabilize and put Iran into a state of chaos 0.59
00:15:49.760 because the Israelis actually thrive in chaos.
00:15:52.640 They think as long as their rivals and their enemies are in a chaotic state,
00:15:57.080 then they can't consolidate power and they can't come pose a threat to them. 0.78
00:16:00.480 That's Israeli doctrine.
00:16:01.280 That's not American doctrine.
00:16:02.360 We're very much against that.
00:16:04.160 And again, this all goes back to just the fundamental question.
00:16:06.340 Like, if any of this happens, what is in it for the United States of America? 0.74
00:16:10.040 We heard the whole nonsense in the Iraq war. 0.99
00:16:12.340 Like, oh, it's going to be a great deal for America. 0.98
00:16:13.780 We're going to get the oil.
00:16:14.680 Like, none of that ever happened.
00:16:16.160 Trump's trying to make that happen right now, kind of.
00:16:18.240 But based on what's taking place, the way that the war has now expanded into Iraq and just Iraqi domestic politics, I don't think that's going to happen there either.
00:16:26.480 But none of this benefits the American people.
00:16:28.780 And this is at a time when most people have a hard time filling up a full tank of gas and paying for groceries.
00:16:33.920 So this war is not in our best interest.
00:16:37.000 Expanding the war is not in our best interest.
00:16:38.940 And for the president to think about anything else and to listen to people that are explaining to him, you know, all these complicated plans for how we finish the job and how this is really some sort of a checkmate on China, etc.
00:16:47.840 He needs to tune those people out and he needs to listen to Donald Trump in 2016 when he spoke plainly and clearly about what was in the best interest for the American people.
00:16:56.600 And he starts thinking that way. I think I think he could still save this this entire situation.
00:17:00.820 But I fear he's not. Yeah.
00:17:03.080 When you love somebody and they're drinking themselves to death, you tell them to stop drinking.
00:17:06.680 You don't tell them their liver has magical powers and they can fly to the moon.
00:17:10.040 And that's kind of the situation that I think that we're in now.
00:17:13.100 And here's the thing.
00:17:14.280 People, he himself, Trump has come after us and attacked us personally.
00:17:18.240 It's called my father fried and low IQ, among other things.
00:17:21.440 The reality is, do you want people to tell you the truth or do you want people to lie to you?
00:17:26.920 And ultimately, they can lie to you.
00:17:29.120 It can feel good.
00:17:30.120 It doesn't feel good to the families of the American soldiers that die overseas.
00:17:34.600 And there is no explanation.
00:17:35.860 There is no proof that you can give to say, oh, well, it is what it is.
00:17:40.200 It's a war of choice.
00:17:41.940 We did.
00:17:42.380 The strait wasn't closed before February 28th.
00:17:45.080 There weren't missiles flying back and forth.
00:17:47.200 We initiated that and we got to pull out now.
00:17:50.180 I think this is also key.
00:17:51.200 I want to bring it up.
00:17:52.340 I just want to get your take on it because it seems to be unclear, but maybe you've heard
00:17:55.900 more.
00:17:56.320 Of course, I have way better sources than I could hope to have.
00:17:58.920 Egypt downplays drone strike as fears grow for Suez Canal.
00:18:03.300 It was reported last night.
00:18:04.620 This is July 30th.
00:18:05.480 this is written that an explosion occurred aboard two gas tankers at the port. Reuters said this is
00:18:11.060 a drone attack. Well, New York Times this morning quoted two Iranian officials who said the strike
00:18:15.280 was intended to demonstrate that if Iran chooses to escalate the situation, this is key, global
00:18:21.620 energy supplies and shipping could be hit much harder. So now we've got one choke choke point 0.77
00:18:26.200 Straddle Hormuz, two choke points Straddle Hormuz, Babel Mendeb, now three potentially with the Suez
00:18:32.040 canal. Joe, what's your take on this? Yeah, this is another case where it's very easy for the
00:18:39.020 Iranians to inflict a lot of pain with very little resources. The Iranians have geography working out 1.00
00:18:45.020 in their advantage. Obviously, the Strait of Hormuz is in their backyard. They have powerful 1.00
00:18:48.800 allies they've invested in with the Houthis and the Bab al-Mandib. And so now powerful allies in
00:18:55.220 Iran, powerful allies of Hezbollah. So right now, in order to basically continue to frustrate and
00:19:00.280 choke off the supply of energy to the world. They just need to keep up the pressure in the
00:19:04.940 Straits of Hormuz, which is actually fairly simple for them to do with drones and ballistic missiles. 0.95
00:19:09.260 Bab al-Mandib, they've got their friends, the Houthis, that are doing that right now. 0.68
00:19:13.420 And then pushing out into the Suez Canal, it's just a matter of them either launching from 0.95
00:19:17.520 their home soil, which they're more than capable of doing, or having the Houthis do it for them, 0.70
00:19:21.520 or having the Iraqi militias do it for them, or having Hezbollah do it for them. And so what the
00:19:25.320 Iranians are trying to do right now, I think, is two things. They're trying to chip away at the 1.00
00:19:30.180 supply of world energy because that's going to hurt all the countries that are supporting
00:19:34.440 the coalition that's supporting us against them. But also, they are trying to fragment
00:19:40.600 our relationship with all the different Sunni Arab states there in the Middle East. They're 0.92
00:19:48.120 trying to basically say it's not worth your while to be directly tied to the Americans.
00:19:53.220 If you are directly tied to the Americans, we are going to inflict pain upon you.
00:19:58.320 And right now, what's taking place in Iraq, we're seeing that in a very big way. 0.56
00:20:01.400 Iraq is ran by the Shia majority there, many of whom have close ties to the Iranian government.
00:20:07.300 The Iraqis are caught in between.
00:20:09.140 You know, Zaydi, the prime minister, was in Washington, D.C., meeting with President Trump, and then he went to Tehran.
00:20:15.680 So he's very much trying to make sure his country doesn't get dragged and sucked into this.
00:20:19.800 the Iranians had their proxies start doing strikes into Saudi Arabia, knowing that we
00:20:24.600 would respond. So us and the Saudis then responded. And so now you have Americans and Saudis,
00:20:30.580 Sunni Saudis, killing Shia militiamen in Iraq. So that's another way that they can start 0.99
00:20:35.180 chipping away at the alliance that we have with Iraq. There's a lot of other dynamics there at 0.82
00:20:40.000 play. But basically, the Iranians are trying to inflict a cost on all of our allies within the 0.99
00:20:46.520 region. And if you look at Kuwait, if you look at Bahrain, you look at, to a certain extent, 0.99
00:20:51.400 Qatar as well. A lot of the countries that have been very closely aligned with us, Jordan most
00:20:55.340 recently, the countries that have been the most closely aligned with us are starting to feel a
00:20:59.380 lot of pain and they're going to start feeling a lot of internal pressure. Their leaders are
00:21:02.920 from their people, from their parliaments to say, hey, maybe we need to tell the Americans,
00:21:07.100 like, hey, we love you, but you can't base here and you most certainly can't launch attacks
00:21:10.660 here against Iran because it's really just not worth it anymore for us. Because if they keep 0.64
00:21:15.420 hitting along the Red Sea, they keep hitting the Suez Canal, or even just occasionally doing it,
00:21:20.020 that frustrates that shipping and makes the insurance premiums shoot up. That takes away
00:21:24.900 a good deal of the money that the Egyptians receive, because the Egyptians, they basically,
00:21:28.680 they have tourism, they have some energy, but the Suez Canal is a huge moneymaker for them. 0.99
00:21:33.180 They're going to start losing money because of what the Houthis are doing further south down
00:21:36.500 the Red Sea, but an occasional drone or an occasional attack on any of those ports on
00:21:41.100 the Med side, that's going to take away a lot of the Egyptian government's revenue as well. 0.94
00:21:45.420 So this is the Iranian strategy, and they don't need a lot of resources, basically, to continue to inflict pain upon us. 0.95
00:21:51.180 This is where time is very much on the Iranian side, and it's not on our side at all. 0.96
00:21:56.240 Right, and let's just look out because months, years plus into the future, ultimately people that support these operations, if you ask them, you say, hey, point to a calendar for me if you could. 0.96
00:22:07.120 What day is this going to end? You know, whereabouts? And, you know, just tell me, like, the gradual recovery of the oil market, the fertilizer, all the supplies and goods that flow through these vital waterways that are choked off.
00:22:17.680 You know, how long is it going to take us to rebuild our bases, rebuild our capability in the region with the radar and all of that?
00:22:23.480 And they're not going to be able to give you a timeline because their position is it has to continue forever.
00:22:28.820 Like, that's what they have to defend. Right. If you're defending the operations right now, you have to say that we're able to do this in the region forever.
00:22:35.100 I think it was demonstrated before this happened, just by the will of the American people, Trump winning a referendum against the Iraq war in 2016, that Americans were done with this sunk cost fallacy.
00:22:45.740 It's like the last day I was in the casino at Vegas.
00:22:48.720 I was staying at a hotel.
00:22:49.660 Jake Shields put me in.
00:22:50.860 I had like 300 bucks.
00:22:52.160 I was like, I didn't gamble the whole time I was here.
00:22:54.440 And then I lost all the money.
00:22:55.920 but you don't stay in the casino and go back over and over and over again and take a mortgage out 1.00
00:23:01.000 on your house because, you know, this time the lucky Chinese dragon is going to spin on the 0.82
00:23:04.840 wheel and give you what you want. It just doesn't work that way. What do you say about kind of the 0.98
00:23:08.680 sunk cost fallacy, all this? I mean, that's what this, that's what this is. And this should have
00:23:13.100 been our lesson, the lesson that we learned from the war on terror, but then, you know, also the 0.84
00:23:17.200 lesson we should have learned from the Vietnam war is that like, it doesn't get better if you
00:23:21.420 keep gambling. You can't drink yourself sober, whatever analogy you want to use. The fact that
00:23:26.000 you have invested a ton of resources, a ton of lives into a certain problem, if you're not getting
00:23:32.220 the result that you want, that doesn't mean you double down. That does not mean that more resources,
00:23:36.700 more bombing campaigns, more troops, another surge, finishing the job, air quotes, none of that
00:23:41.220 is going to work. We have enough data to support that. Now, the case can be made, do we try
00:23:45.960 something different? I would even say the way that we're fighting this war right now, if I was
00:23:50.880 in support of us fighting this war and us actually going after and taking down the Iranian regime, 0.78
00:23:56.200 I would basically have the same advice that I have right now. We should get out of the region. 1.00
00:24:00.540 Why are we running low on interceptors? If those reports are true, I don't know. But if we're
00:24:04.580 running low on interceptors, that's because we've been firing an exorbitant amount of interceptors
00:24:08.520 trying to defend bases that are getting hammered, bases that we can't put soldiers at anymore,
00:24:13.460 bases that we can't really launch significant attacks from anymore. So what are we doing?
00:24:17.900 just the thing is, we get so stuck in this loop where we can't give up any ground. We can't retreat
00:24:22.920 because then we're going to say, oh, the Iranians are going to claim that they pushed us out of the
00:24:26.820 region. They have to be a major victory for them. They have us hostage, not the other way around. 1.00
00:24:31.520 It's like we got them right. Precisely. Yeah, we got we got them right where we want them. We're
00:24:35.680 tied up in a chair, essentially right in front of them. Exactly. And we're burning through really
00:24:39.860 precious munitions. We've also burned through precious lives defending these bases that may
00:24:45.580 have served a purpose at one point in time, but now they don't. I mean, there's a basic principle
00:24:49.620 in any kind of infantry tactics. If you can't shoot from where you're at, you have to maneuver
00:24:54.960 and move positions. And that's essentially where we're at right now with our bases. But we've got
00:24:59.240 our basically concrete around our feet. And we say that we can't leave these bases, but that's
00:25:03.880 all self-imposed. We could leave these bases. We could get our troops out of the region. We could
00:25:08.360 get our vessels away from the Straits of Hormuz and try a different tactic. But we just refuse
00:25:13.060 to do that. And that is the sunk cost fallacy. That is the gambler's fallacy. And look, CENTCOM,
00:25:17.940 the central command, they have been notorious for this. It didn't surprise me at all to see
00:25:21.740 the report where Cooper said, you know, hey, boss, I just need 15 more days of another bombing
00:25:25.980 campaign. I mean, CENTCOM commanders for decades now have said, I need one more troop surge. I need
00:25:31.400 one more big push into this city or that city. And we'll turn the tide in Iraq. We'll turn the 1.00
00:25:36.060 tide in Afghanistan. It's the exact same thing that we're seeing here right now. We've got to 0.91
00:25:40.400 break free from that we have enough knowledge in the u.s government that we should not be making
00:25:43.840 these same mistakes all over again yeah i think colin powell said not to make a air force general
00:25:50.160 chief of staff because you need a soldier on the ground you need that type of experience and when
00:25:54.000 people think you can just do a bombing campaign and win bombing campaigns didn't win world war
00:25:57.880 ii like it's just reality right it was men on the ground that won world war ii and when people like
00:26:03.140 like to draw these comparisons like we have space age weapons and they're cavemen and they can't do
00:26:07.940 anything. Well, that's not true. Sure. We have space age weapons. We have tons of stuff. They
00:26:11.920 have the Shahid and the Shahid cost 15 G's. It doesn't cost four million dollars. And that ace,
00:26:17.980 that asymmetry, that advantage they have when it comes to how much their stuff costs versus ours,
00:26:22.700 that's enough to keep them in a fight, a fight that long term we can't wage. And I think the
00:26:27.600 reality, the facts on the ground are right there. In closing, Joe Kent, what do you want people to
00:26:31.780 know about the sadly coming escalation and what they should be prepared to see?
00:26:35.340 um look i think it's now is a time if you supported president trump before i think it's a time to get
00:26:42.920 very very vocal um i think we need to be as vocal as we can on social media platforms like this but
00:26:48.440 also calling your senators calling your congressman calling the white house switchboard and just
00:26:52.340 telling them to get out of this situation get our troops out of the region and say that you ended
00:26:57.260 the war that's going to provide the political space where president trump feels comfortable
00:27:01.180 that he can actually say that and the voices that say thank you for getting us out of this war
00:27:05.880 will outweigh the voices that will criticize him and you know say coward or say we lost or that
00:27:10.720 type of stuff so i think the more that president trump hears that people just want him to pull out
00:27:15.200 of this war and he sees that can be a political win i think that's the most important thing because
00:27:19.760 if we say that oh you know trump you broke this now you got to fix it all he's going to do is get
00:27:24.540 a menu of options from from centcom from the pentagon that are going to say you know more
00:27:28.600 bombing campaigns, and that's how you slowly slide into putting boots on the ground. Because
00:27:33.420 the bombing campaigns just simply, they're not going to work. They're going to be spectacular.
00:27:37.080 They're going to make for great highlight footage. We're going to be able to go say we bombed X,
00:27:40.400 Y, and Z different things. But then at some point, his general is going to come to him and say,
00:27:44.300 hey, if you want to keep doing this, we're actually going to have to take ground.
00:27:48.080 And then we're going to take major losses, and then we are going to be locked into this thing.
00:27:51.460 He's got a narrow window. It's tragic that we lost those troops, but we fired back. We took
00:27:56.300 our retaliation, he's got a window right now where he could end this thing. This is as good
00:28:00.920 of a time as I think he's going to get. If he doesn't take advantage of this window right now
00:28:05.320 to get our troops out, we're going to be locked into further escalation. He needs to start
00:28:09.400 listening to different people. You talked about the intelligence picture. Unfortunately, he just
00:28:13.220 hasn't been listening to the intelligence picture. Our intelligence picture as to what the Iranians
00:28:17.420 would do, it's been pretty accurate for the entire time that I was in the administration.
00:28:21.640 The president, unfortunately, just chose to listen to a lot of the pundits, a lot of the talking
00:28:25.260 heads and a lot of the neocons who hated his guts before this war, who got him into this war. He needs
00:28:30.920 to tune them out. He needs to bring in other voices, but just have the moral courage and the
00:28:34.960 political strength to pull all of our troops out of the region. Powerful intel. Thank you for your
00:28:39.580 time. Joe Kent, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to tell you something right now that is one of the
00:28:44.360 most, if not the most important things I've ever talked about on air. And I want you to really
00:28:48.860 listen to me. And I want you to get a pen and paper out of your iPhone, out of your droid and
00:28:52.740 type this into your notes. And I want you at lunch today or tonight or right now to just go
00:28:57.860 to any search engine you want and type in two different names, two different words, okay?
00:29:05.040 Two different drugs that have won Nobel Prizes, you name it, that people don't want you to know
00:29:11.120 about. And one of those is ivermectin that everybody knows about. The other one that most
00:29:14.600 people still don't know about is babenzidol. If you do the research, then it's important to
00:29:20.180 understand that you need to get it from a pharmacy to get it from a doctor and we have a sponsor and
00:29:27.140 that's of course bigly and they went and they used the same service as you know the big web rx's and
00:29:33.460 great people we've used that have been sponsors of the past but this is bigly doing it and the
00:29:39.120 key is it's real it's pharmaceutical and it is a very low price people are selling knockoffs of it
00:29:45.680 online without a prescription and a lot of it's fake or a lot of it's watered down and adulterated
00:29:50.100 because I did a regimen a couple of years ago of mebezidol.
00:29:55.840 We'll put that on screen.
00:29:57.000 That's how you spell it right there. 1.00
00:29:58.300 M-E-B-E-N-D-A-Z-O-L-E. 0.80
00:30:01.580 And it didn't have any effect. 0.83
00:30:02.780 I bought it off of Amazon.
00:30:04.040 And then I did more research.
00:30:05.140 And they said most of that stuff's fake.
00:30:06.440 So I went and I got it from a doctor.
00:30:09.400 And it was incredible.
00:30:10.740 And my own medical doctor owns clinics all over the state of Texas
00:30:13.880 had already been pushing it on me for years.
00:30:15.800 And I just never done it.
00:30:17.440 Ladies and gentlemen, you can get the two in a combo.
00:30:20.100 the ivermectin and the metezidol together and they work synergistically together it is certified
00:30:27.340 and known both of them as incredible anti-parasite just search the term ivermectin metezidol and just
00:30:35.260 put in study and do your own research and see what the system has been suppressing about this
00:30:41.840 this is something in my view talk to your physician and when you go to the website it's your online
00:30:46.920 pharmacy and they've got nurses doctors all of it and then you get the prescription it's very very
00:30:50.860 easy to do and i i would recommend to talk to your doctors my own personal opinion what i do
00:30:56.000 for myself is twice a year i take a regimen of ivermectin and memezidol and it is incredible
00:31:04.540 people ask why i look so young while i'm healthy it's a cocktail of things it's the ivermectin
00:31:08.920 it's the memezidol that i take about twice a year as a regimen some people my medical doctor says
00:31:14.720 take a little bit of ivermectin every week but i tend to forget to do that it's literally just
00:31:18.980 just take like two pills a week as a supplemental that's what my medical doctor tells me you get
00:31:23.300 your own medical doctor tell you what you want but but the big thing they say is a couple times
00:31:26.300 a year a big dose a big regimen you talk to your physicians you talk to the folks in the online
