The Alex Jones Show Live - 🚨THE NEW ENERGY WORLD WAR HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!🚨

00:00:00.000 What you're watching is not AI, video of Iranian missiles striking U.S. forces in Kuwait yesterday.

00:00:10.380 Iran's done using targeting intelligence from Russia and China to target U.S. forces and warships across the Middle East.

00:00:15.980 Almost all of their missiles are evading our anti-missile defense systems.

00:00:22.880 The United States has responded by vaporizing their bridges, government buildings dropping. 0.98

00:00:30.000 3,000-pound bombs on them, but Iran is going to hold on. 1.00

00:00:35.660 All military experts basically concur. 0.98

00:00:38.580 The strait is completely closed.

00:00:39.960 This has caused a global financial meltdown that is now intensifying.

00:00:45.740 Israel has now deployed its nuclear submarines that have been seen servicing off the coast of Jordan.

00:00:50.540 Here you see a Vulcan

00:00:53.700 Cannon

00:00:56.040 Gatling gun 0.98

00:00:58.160 Taking out Iranian drones 1.00

00:01:00.260 These are used as a last resort 1.00

00:01:02.600 And the U.S. is running out of ammunition

00:01:04.040 How many days ago did the war start?

00:01:08.860 What, 141?

00:01:10.720 Here, I'm going from memory

00:01:11.500 Let's pull it up in a little while

00:01:12.680 Of course, this is footage of what killed

00:01:15.640 Three U.S. troops and injured dozens

00:01:17.760 and then we're told trump is bombing iran to punish them for killing our troops

00:01:26.020 but who started this who drug us into this and then of course the basic psychology works like

00:01:33.360 this here's a takum is being fired out of kuwait into iran into iran

00:01:39.780 then when our troops get killed we're supposed to accelerate and we're going to go to this uh

00:01:47.540 breakdown here in just a moment of why Iran is such a dangerous country to try to invade. 0.90

00:01:55.920 And that is on the threat escalation ladder, that and nuclear weapons is all that's left.

00:02:00.700 And Trump isn't going to back down. The Iranians aren't going to back down. 0.96

00:02:04.660 And so Israel knew the psychology, knew it was going to happen, wanted a greater Israel, 0.95

00:02:09.100 wanted us fully committed to a total war so they could grab Lebanon and large parts of Syria. 0.88

00:02:14.240 And now that's official 0.95

00:02:15.940 They've now been

00:02:16.700 Gavir has announced

00:02:17.500 Their national security advisor 0.97

00:02:18.360 They are taking all of Gaza

00:02:20.140 He marched in declaring it Israel 1.00

00:02:22.120 And they will now settle it

00:02:23.120 That of course will enrage 1.00

00:02:24.840 The Muslims and Arabs even more 1.00

00:02:26.080 Which it's all designed to do 1.00

00:02:27.680 Fuel prices have exploded

00:02:29.060 Back to over an average

00:02:30.560 Of $4 a gallon

00:02:31.580 And Rubio is now calling on the world

00:02:34.080 To help us open the strait

00:02:36.180 And get it back to where it was

00:02:37.540 He's said that before

00:02:38.820 He's said it again

00:02:39.660 On the tarmac last night 0.98

00:02:43.140 And then, of course, the hawks are all out there saying, oh, you're a traitor. 0.82

00:02:46.540 We need to go to full war. 1.00

00:02:48.020 Nuke them, nuke them, nuke them, nuke them. 0.96

00:02:49.780 Okay, if you study what the Pentagon says happens 90-plus percent of the time after that. 0.93

00:02:54.420 Pakistan then nukes Israel, and they've said they will.

00:02:56.580 North Korea nukes Israel. 0.75

00:02:58.180 And we have a good old-fashioned nuclear war.

00:03:01.420 And then this just won't be entertainment on Fox News for you.

00:03:04.440 This will be the end of civilization as we know it.

00:03:07.380 And the globalists are happy.

00:03:09.160 They think they can contain this as conventional, the war with Russia, the war.

00:03:12.260 with Iran, which is really an energy war. If you pull up what we did last week with Matt Bracken,

00:03:16.680 you can see all running up from Iran, right up at about a 10-degree angle,

00:03:23.680 running from about 6 o'clock down in the Middle East, right up until about 11 o'clock in Russia

00:03:30.740 and Ukraine. And it's nothing but an energy sector blown up by both sides all the way down.

00:03:36.260 And that's a limited map. There's a lot more strikes than that. That doesn't show the

00:03:40.400 Nord Stream being blown up or a bunch of other stuff.

00:03:42.080 Those are just general areas being hit.

00:03:44.500 If you pull up the actual interactives, there's thousands and thousands of dots.

00:03:49.000 Tens of thousands, actually.

00:03:51.220 The U.S. dropped 40,000-plus bombs on Iran.

00:03:53.720 That's an old number. It's probably about 50 now.

00:03:55.880 Iran launched tens of thousands of missiles and drones.

00:03:59.120 Russia and Ukraine have fired millions of munitions at each other.

00:04:01.980 Millions dead.

00:04:02.700 It's a new world war.

00:04:05.020 The proxy war.

00:04:06.700 The hybrid war goes live.

00:04:08.560 Real-time. Uncensored. Unstoppable. 0.95

00:04:13.800 AlexJonesLive.com.

00:04:15.720 Take a stand. Share the link.

00:04:19.800 Do you want to fight? You better believe you've got one!

00:04:25.120 It's Monday, 20th of July.

00:04:28.380 From the front lines of the information war, it's Alex Jones.

00:04:34.140 On AlexJonesLive.com is the news site with all the free audio and video feeds.

00:04:38.560 Special reports, articles, government documents, whistleblowers, you name it.

00:04:45.360 Get out of there! Move! Move!

00:04:49.820 Ladies and gentlemen, they're everywhere!

00:04:52.020 That is not AI video you're looking at of your TV viewer on the web at Alex Jones on X or Rumble

00:04:58.020 or at AlexJonesLive.com or on TV stations across the country. 0.84

00:05:02.260 That is Iranian missiles striking all over the Middle East

00:05:05.580 and U.S. dropping high-powered bombs and missiles, vaporizing 20-story buildings. 0.77

00:05:12.380 It is all hell breaking loose on every front.

00:05:18.980 And I'm going to analyze every angle of it here today.

00:05:21.840 But in the final equation, what has happened is at the global level,

00:05:29.220 the globalists had the COVID lockdown to shut down the world economy

00:05:35.480 and to put the average person into debt.

00:05:37.620 The ultra-rich doubled their wealth during the COVID scam.

00:05:40.280 The general public lost half their wealth during the COVID scam.

00:05:43.220 Upwards of 70% of Americans are now paycheck to paycheck.

00:05:46.900 Right at 70% also can't pay their credit card bills, about 68%.

00:05:50.760 And now if you have energy prices continuing to explode, accelerating inflation,

00:05:56.400 and you have massive cuts in the amount of fertilizer being produced

00:05:59.340 because of the Ukraine war and the Iran war,

00:06:02.060 both regions produced large parts of the fertilizer,

00:06:05.480 then you have mass famine baked in as early as this fall,

00:06:12.040 accelerating through the winter, huge migration into Europe,

00:06:14.660 it's already estimated by the UN.

00:06:15.920 We, of course, broke all that before they did.

00:06:17.680 My point is I don't just listen to them.

00:06:19.300 I already know what they're going to say before they say it.

00:06:21.580 And that happens to be true, that it is going to cause mass famine.

00:06:24.720 And, of course, they'll then exacerbate all of that 0.99

00:06:27.260 and then organize the third world to invade us further. 1.00

00:06:30.700 And, again, you can put up a map of the general areas being struck 0.78

00:06:34.020 in the tens of thousands of different strikes on energy. And the sides of the new world war are

00:06:40.020 Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and then their allies, smaller countries like Yemen.

00:06:49.660 And then on the, quote, our side, there is the U.S., NATO, the U.K., Canada, Australia,

00:06:57.000 and New Zealand. India tries to stay out of it, but they're actually allied with Israel,

00:07:06.540 so they're tacitly supporting all this while playing both sides in the energy war.

00:07:12.280 But if you look at that basic map, that is not representative of all the strikes. That's just

00:07:15.220 the general areas of the bombardments that are going on. And if you can see that just slices

00:07:20.860 right down through Eastern Europe into Central Asia, into the Near East,

00:07:29.800 or Western Asia, as it's called technically.

00:07:34.320 And we now have Russia cutting its oil exports, but more than half.

00:07:40.380 They're not exporting any diesel.

00:07:42.720 They're also cutting natural gas exports.

00:07:45.020 You have the West blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline.

00:07:47.700 Three years ago, that doesn't help as well.

00:07:49.200 that supplied Europe with about 40% of its gas. Europe is grinding into total depression. They're

00:07:54.420 about the worst hit in any industrialized world, but we're feeling the pain here. Roughly half of

00:08:00.400 U.S. farmers have decided not to plant their main crops this year or to cut back because of

00:08:05.180 fertilizer shortages and increased prices of fertilizer. And of course, diesel, the average

00:08:12.860 price of 87 octane. Gasoline is over $4. The average price of diesel is $5 plus. So not a

00:08:26.080 good situation. And this has all been designed with Israel through the Rothschilds 1.00

00:08:33.040 launching the war on February 28th. 0.82

00:08:40.460 So what are we, 142, 143?

00:08:42.560 I'm going from memory.

00:08:45.060 And now we are off to the races

00:08:47.380 on the threat escalation ladder.

00:08:49.060 So we're 142 days, 10 hours, 10 minutes, 20 seconds

00:08:53.340 into this disaster that Trump was asked last week.

00:08:57.560 And he said it may last 19 years of the Vietnam War.

00:09:00.060 Of course, Vietnam War lasted 11 years.

00:09:02.780 You count the Gulf of Tonkin, 64, false flag is when we started,

00:09:06.060 or advisors being put in 60, then you could say it lasted 15, 16 years. 0.76

00:09:11.080 But regardless, this is a new forever war,

00:09:13.760 and it is unlike any of the other forever wars that were done to countries 0.72

00:09:17.940 that couldn't control energy and did not have the weapons systems that Iran had

00:09:21.840 and were not getting the aid with high-tech guidance systems

00:09:26.500 of the satellites of Russia and China.

00:09:31.820 And so this is all escalating very, very, very quickly.

00:09:39.680 Iran is 4,500 square miles.

00:09:42.320 Gaza was 140 square miles.

00:09:44.600 The Israelis have still not taken all of Gaza three years later.

00:09:48.940 The cost of thousands dead, tens of thousands on the Palestinian side.

00:09:53.600 But Trump is now strongly leaning towards, that was reported here months ago,

00:09:57.720 but it was officially in the Washington Post and New York Times, leaked by the White House,

00:10:06.400 that they are strongly considering and leaning towards ground invasion.

00:10:11.200 So let's play a short little infographic that I find to be very accurate, though limited in its scope. 0.63

00:10:17.620 It could be two hours long and not even cover it all about the disaster of attacking and now trying to invade Iran.

00:10:23.880 And Trump's doing camel nose into the tent flap, incrementalism, sleepwalking us into Armageddon.

00:10:29.620 First, he says, Kirk Island, which is a sitting duck.

00:10:32.440 Then our troops will be attacked on Kirk Island.

00:10:34.360 And then we'll have to invade into the 3,000-foot sheer cliffs and the 8,000-foot mountains that surround it.

00:10:41.660 And then behind that, they've got 15,000-foot mountains.

00:10:45.620 And then on to the east and north, they have 18,000-foot mountains.

00:10:50.660 But we've just got to contend with 10,000-foot mountains completely encircling all of the south and the west there.

00:10:58.460 As you can see, some nice 15,000-foot mountains over there on the north as well.

00:11:04.820 Not a very good place to invade.

00:11:07.040 The best place would be, obviously, if we can't get there because it's not one of our allies, is the east there.

00:11:13.660 But those are nice 5,000 and 6,000 and 8,000-foot mountains as well, continuous, layered.

00:11:20.100 Let me see, that's three or four mountain ranges for you right there.

00:11:23.420 Let's, of course, complete armed camp inside. 0.96

00:11:27.200 That's why no one has ever been able to take over Persia. 0.98

00:11:31.280 Absolute nightmare. 1.00

00:11:32.480 We have been absolutely sleptwalked into this by design by Israel. 0.98

00:11:35.960 That way the globalists get to collapse U.S. world economy, 0.93

00:11:39.580 and Israel gets a smokescreen for the U.S. to be seen as the great Satan, 0.81

00:11:46.220 although the little Satan can run around and do whatever it wants. 0.75

00:11:48.120 I would use the analogy, which I coined, everybody uses now. 0.99

00:11:51.760 I'm just proud of that, that Israel is like the little engineer 1.00

00:11:56.200 that sits on top of the seven-foot-tall retarded giant, 1.00

00:11:59.160 and then the two combined make Master Blaster. 0.98

00:12:02.600 Who runs Barter Town?

00:12:04.700 Master Blaster runs Barter Town with that great Mel Gibson movie

00:12:11.340 with Tina Turner, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

00:12:15.580 Who runs Barter Town? 1.00

00:12:17.660 Masta Blasta runs Barnertown.

00:12:20.780 And it's not just me saying this.

00:12:22.640 There's a consensus.

00:12:25.840 In fact, there isn't a think tank,

00:12:27.720 the Rand Corporation, the Pentagon.

00:12:31.640 There's hundreds of them.

00:12:32.820 They all concur that this is an absolute disaster

00:12:35.400 and that the prospects of victory are less than 10%.

00:12:38.960 And that's what Trump was told 140-something days ago

00:12:43.260 before this all started.

00:12:45.080 And then you get all these retired generals, though, 0.89

00:12:47.080 that are on the payroll of Fox News and on the payroll of the Israelis. 0.89

00:12:52.740 And they are telling you that we're about to win. 0.99

00:12:55.780 They're about to collapse any day.

00:12:57.340 Just press the gas all the way down to the floorboard,

00:13:01.360 or as they say in aviation, balls to the walls.

00:13:05.320 I remember when I was about 10 or 11,

00:13:07.540 I was singing some rock song about balls to the walls.

00:13:10.140 And my mother heard me in my room playing, and she goes,

00:13:11.660 turn that off.

00:13:12.380 That sounds like some kind of nasty thing.

00:13:14.760 I never knew what it meant.

00:13:15.560 I was like, oh, I guess that means, and then later I looked it up, and no, it's from World

00:13:22.400 War II, because it would be a ball on the throttle, and it meant press it all the way

00:13:26.460 down into the control panel, meaning turn your engines up all the way, pedal to the

00:13:32.220 metal, balls to the walls. 0.89

00:13:34.980 Let's come in with an excess to start of the next segment. 0.98

00:13:37.460 You got to get your balls to the walls. 0.92

00:13:39.980 Well, we are balls to the walls now. 0.92

00:13:44.660 And it ain't good.

00:13:47.260 And so we'll see how balls to the walls turns out here, folks, 0.98

00:13:50.800 with a bunch of people that have high IQs and are crazed 0.71

00:13:54.420 and do think it's the end of the world. 0.94

00:13:56.540 And you got some of the Orthodox Jews think they're going to make the Messiah come back, 0.92

00:13:59.840 telling Yahweh constantly, make him come back. 1.00

00:14:01.460 Oh, I'm trying. 0.99

00:14:02.760 With the war, and you got the Christian Zionists thinking they're going to make Jesus come back. 1.00

00:14:05.920 a collection of lunatics. So I'm on the side of getting all the crazy people to stop killing each 0.99

00:14:14.840 other. You know, I know three or four people, four people good. One's a lawyer. Now there's

00:14:22.560 a doctor. I don't know what this thing is about pit bulls. They're very sweet dogs till they're

00:14:26.820 not. But the way they're bred is they'll just flip a switch and shoot you to death. 0.96

00:14:31.140 But I know three or four people that were into pit bull rescues all the thing forever and where they had pit bulls and their pit bulls start fighting and they reach down to stop them and get fingers and stuff bit off.

00:14:46.420 I mean, I've seen this over and over.

00:14:47.940 I'm sure you've heard about it. 0.81

00:14:48.900 This is like an ongoing thing where they attacked a four year old or, you know, it's an Israel and Iran are like two foaming at the mouth pit bulls. 0.63

00:14:57.620 and us getting involved is like sticking our face down in the middle of it. Stupid. 1.00

00:15:05.120 I'm not for Israel. I'm not for Iran because they're two pit bulls and they're going to 1.00

00:15:10.040 chew each other up. And now here we are in the middle of it. Here's that breakdown of the ground 1.00

00:15:16.440 invasion that Trump is getting ready to announce. And we better be horrified of this. We better be

00:15:22.340 putting pressure on Trump. But see, he can only escalate that way. Ground invasion or nukes.

00:15:30.440 And then we nuke. Well, then it, in most studies, triggers a larger nuclear war. 0.54

00:15:36.420 And before North Korea and Pakistan ever said a few months ago, we'll nuke Israel if you nuke them. 0.69

00:15:43.340 We have a defense deal. And we're going to roll the dice and hope Pakistan or North Korea doesn't 0.87

00:15:47.880 do that pentagon so far didn't ever go after north korea because that sure will blow them off 0.76

00:15:54.860 the map more than they blow us off the map but in most of the studies that exchange we start

00:16:00.360 hitting north korea china gets involved in most of the studies if pakistan nukes somebody india's 0.84

00:16:06.020 going to nuke them china's then going to nuke india you know they hate each other more than they hate 0.73

00:16:10.340 us i know for everybody that's got blinders on that's either pro-israel and just only cares 0.95

00:16:16.700 about israel and doesn't want to think about repercussions and other folks that only hate

00:16:20.140 israel and we know about israel they hear about pakistan with nukes or china they go you're

00:16:24.400 diverting from israel no i'm talking about different pieces of the engine here i mean i

00:16:29.580 know that's threatening to a lot of you that are either pro israel anti-israel just everything is

00:16:33.640 just limited to whatever's one-dimensionally happening there all this other stuff fits in

00:16:38.300 i mean literally you got mark levin we got a strike we got to use nukes

00:16:44.780 You've got Lindsey Graham saying he used nukes before he made the jump into hyperspace.

00:16:49.640 And then do you know what the Pentagon reports say?

00:16:54.020 Again, what did the Pentagon leak five days before Israel struck and drugged us in?

00:16:59.160 And Trump was leaning towards not attacking, so Israel hit first, and he's now bragging about that.

00:17:02.700 And Rubio admits it.

00:17:03.980 He said, no, Israel hit, so we had to hit because they're going to hit our bases.

00:17:06.520 So are you saying, hey, we're not with Israel when that happened?

00:17:08.900 Let you guys fight it out. 0.70

00:17:10.060 like you know godzilla fighting the other monster we'll just let them fight but not us

00:17:16.280 no we had to oh we have to get involved and the pentagon leaked and then and all them called for

00:17:23.860 investigation it was the chairman of the joint chiefs so that guy oh that got shut down real

00:17:27.880 quick because they wanted trump to read it in the paper he didn't listen to them in the meetings

00:17:30.420 and they said what they say 92 percent chance the mullahs don't fall for at least a year probably

00:17:36.120 not even then, and 100% chance they close the strait. They've already passed the law to do it,

00:17:41.120 and then that's going to be a protracted war, and then you're not going to have an off-ramp,

00:17:44.520 Mr. President. Now, they told him, if you want to just hit infrastructure and hit missiles and say

00:17:49.840 we're degrading them further at Midnight Hammer 2.0, do that. Not like the Pentagon are little

00:17:54.700 doves or pro-Mullah. And the Mossad told Trump we'd win, and Ben-Gavir did, their intelligence 0.80

00:18:02.200 head, their national security head, who's just a crazed maniac, and Sudden and Yahoo.

00:18:06.380 But even IDF, remember this, you looked this up in Israeli papers, IDF said, no, we don't

00:18:11.420 think they'll fall.

00:18:12.440 Now, if you want to degrade them, we agree with the Pentagon, we're all for bombing them.

00:18:17.860 But get us more missile defense systems.

00:18:21.280 So we got led into this by a guy that's facing prison and Ben Gavir, who's a literal cartoon

00:18:29.980 character running around foaming at the mouth.

00:18:31.480 I have a new video of him today, stomping around, leading troops into Gaza, saying,

00:18:35.080 it's all ours, mine, mine, mine, mine.

00:18:37.620 What do we do today, Ben Gavir?

00:18:39.060 The same thing we do every day, conquer the world.

00:18:41.900 It's like pinky in the brain or something.

00:18:44.320 He goes, look at this death chamber where we execute people. 1.00

00:18:46.620 I'm going to kill you in here. 1.00

00:18:48.000 That was over the weekend. 0.99

00:18:49.380 And then he beats up people, Tilla people trying to bring rice in, whether you dislike

00:18:53.260 them or not.

00:18:54.120 I mean, it's just he beats people up on camera while they're handcuffed. 0.63

00:18:57.260 Big, giant, fat guy looks like he weighs 450 pounds. 0.76

00:18:59.700 I mean, it's just, it's like John Candy beating up people and I've got death chambers. 0.74

00:19:03.880 It's mine, mine, mine. 0.95

00:19:05.320 Greater Israel, we're taking all of Lebanon. 1.00

00:19:07.340 Burn it all. 1.00

00:19:07.960 Kill them all. 1.00

00:19:08.620 Burn them. 1.00

00:19:09.160 Kill, kill. 1.00

00:19:09.900 These are quotes. 1.00

00:19:12.180 Kill, kill, kill. 0.99

00:19:14.180 And you know, the people behind this have turned these guys off their leashes because 0.99

00:19:19.020 they want a big confrontation.

00:19:20.600 They want the big Guder Damarong, the battle of the gods.

00:19:24.400 This is satanic, folks. 0.97

00:19:26.940 The moolahs are foaming at the mouth.

00:19:30.080 Everyone's foaming at the mouth. 1.00

00:19:31.320 The Christian Zionists are literally jerking off to this. 1.00

00:19:34.160 They love it. 1.00

00:19:34.620 They're going to make Jesus come back.

00:19:37.860 Yep, it's all one giant energy world war.

00:19:42.780 Boom.

00:19:47.260 See what's going on there?

00:19:48.660 And who's it hurt?

00:19:50.140 It hurts you and me and every country in the world,

00:19:54.600 and it really hurts people that are living on subsistence less than $1 a day.

00:19:58.880 And when 50% of your paycheck's been on energy and food,

00:20:01.720 you get unrest and degrading society.

00:20:04.140 At 60%, you get war on the streets.

00:20:06.660 We're almost at 60% in most of the world right now.

00:20:09.800 People are just quietly getting sick, getting ill, no medicine.

00:20:13.180 They get really skinny and, oh, they just died of a cold.

00:20:16.160 No, they died of malnutrition.

00:20:18.140 Tens of millions. 0.65

00:20:22.740 Netanyahu, Israel will reach the kingdom

00:20:24.820 and make it to Messiah's return, mainstream Israeli newspapers.

00:20:31.940 I can show you 100 clips of top rabbis. 0.70

00:20:34.320 In English, saying, we need you to launch the war. 0.99

00:20:37.600 Make him come. 0.99

00:20:38.840 Make Messiah come. 0.87

00:20:40.280 Then, you know, in Hebrew, I'm doing it.

00:20:41.700 I'm working hard.

00:20:43.200 I'm doing it.

00:20:44.480 We have killed the calf.

00:20:46.240 We are preparing to take the other top minister. 0.99

00:20:48.480 We need to blow up the Temple Mount and blame it on the Iranians. 1.00

00:20:52.000 Ah, ah, on TV, yes, yes, yes. 1.00

00:20:54.560 Let's do that.

00:20:55.380 Another fabulous idea.

00:21:00.420 Demonic.

00:21:02.640 Evil. 0.97

00:21:04.560 Crazy job.

00:21:08.300 So let's go to this infographic.

00:21:10.760 Then I'm going to go to Robert Pape, extremely respected military and geopolitical, political

00:21:15.140 scientist, is what he had to say.

00:21:16.220 But here's the infographic.

00:21:19.280 Do you know that it is a gigantic task to launch a ground invasion in Iran? Let's analyze.

00:21:27.300 Iran's geography is a natural fortress. Encircled by towering mountain ranges,

00:21:32.460 it naturally repels invaders. From the west, the Zagros Mountains run 1,600 kilometers along Iraq,

00:21:40.160 with peaks over 4,000 meters and narrow passes that choke armor and expose convoys.

00:21:46.320 This is the reason why during the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, Iraqi troops took Qoramshar but stalled in Kuzestan foothills, trapped by terrain in an eight-year stalemate, costing over one million total casualties.

00:22:00.900 To the north, the Alborz Mountains shield Tehran, abruptly climbing from the Caspian Sea's shores, funneling any assault into deadly choke points.

00:22:10.400 Eastern borders with Afghanistan feature jagged uplands prone to flash floods.

00:22:15.900 The interior? Vast, scorching deserts like Dasht-e-Kavir's salt flats and Dasht-e-Lut's 158-degree heat.

00:22:24.880 Quicksand for vehicles is hell for troops.

00:22:28.180 Southern coasts along the Persian Gulf lead straight into Zagros foothills, complicating amphibious landings.

00:22:34.620 spanning 1.65 million square kilometers,

00:22:38.780 Iran's terrain would demand immense logistics.

00:22:41.840 It also favors the decentralized 0.92

00:22:43.660 Mosaic Defense Doctrine

00:22:45.800 of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,

00:22:48.440 ensuring local units continue fighting

00:22:50.700 even if the capital falls.

00:22:52.840 If anyone knows history,

00:22:54.820 ground invasion of Iran isn't just tough,

00:22:57.420 it's a strategic nightmare.

00:23:02.300 Now, we're gonna, uh...

00:23:04.620 go to Robert Pape here in a moment. But first, remember, J.R.R. Tolkien created a map of Middle

00:23:10.920 Earth and around Mordor that was built to be totally impregnable. It looks just like Iran. 1.00

00:23:16.400 Blow up Mordor. Looks just like Iran. Of course, he was a veteran of World War I and said he wrote 1.00

00:23:22.520 the book as a composite of the world. Mordor, I mean, Iran is worse than Mordor. 0.95

00:23:28.260 that's hilarious 1.00

00:23:31.940 worse than Mordor

00:23:34.880 can't make it up

00:23:39.720 let's go to Robert Pate

00:23:42.120 one of the most respected military and geopolitical

00:23:44.700 political scientists in the world

00:23:46.820 just go read his

00:23:48.520 bio, read all his predictions that have come true

00:23:51.760 here is Robert Pate

00:23:54.000 on Iran being the most difficult

00:23:55.500 conflict the United States has faced since World War II

00:23:58.160 And I've been telling you that, right?

00:23:59.640 And I get the neocons. 0.87

00:24:01.020 That's just a bunch of sand towel heads. 0.95

00:24:03.280 We'll deal with them, boys. 1.00

00:24:04.960 We'll take care of them right now.

00:24:07.220 How's it going? 0.99

00:24:09.840 Do your homework before you shoot your mouths off. 0.90

00:24:12.480 Go to the report. 0.99

00:24:14.740 This Iran war. 0.86

00:24:16.440 Taking on Iran. 0.97

00:24:18.520 We've taken on the most difficult country to beat since Germany in World War II. 0.94

00:24:25.660 or maybe you'd say the Soviet Union. 0.53

00:24:29.180 But Iran wasn't a great power like Germany.

00:24:31.700 It wasn't a great power like the Soviet Union.

00:24:34.260 We're making Iran a major power as we go forward. 0.92

00:24:39.340 But this was the biggest one, much more difficult than Vietnam, 0.98

00:24:45.380 much more difficult than Iraq, much more difficult than Afghanistan.

00:24:49.000 And so the consequences of taking on that much more dangerous, difficult foe are going to be with us really significantly longer. 0.73

00:25:03.080 This is not just going away.

00:25:05.600 We don't have an easy out over the next few weeks.

00:25:08.580 Are we spending like, what is it, 500 million a day in this world?

00:25:11.540 It's probably one to two billion a day.

00:25:14.000 Now, with the funny account, the phony, so at the moment, I don't trust any of the accounting coming out of the administration.

00:25:22.700 It's $2.3 billion.

00:25:23.160 So when I look at what is likely the cost of this war, about two weeks into the war, the Trump administration went to Congress to get an extra $200 billion to cover the next six months of the war.

00:25:40.660 200 billion for about 180 days yeah the numbers are out they're estimated that just militarily

00:25:47.860 cost 2.3 billion a day now it's escalated from one and a half billion a day and of course a

00:25:53.680 ground invasion they're saying will probably cost five ten billion a day that sounds good

00:25:57.440 but of course the real cost is going to be in lives and it's going to be in the economy

00:26:03.180 with the energy crisis, because if you think oil at $90 a barrel is bad,

00:26:09.680 Trump comes out and says, we got a peace deal again. 0.80

00:26:12.060 The Mullahs won a peace deal.

00:26:13.140 He said that Sunday, and so oil went down, but notice gas prices didn't go down

00:26:17.860 because this up and down in oil price, the companies are having to factor that in,

00:26:23.480 the refinery, so it's going up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

00:26:27.520 And most estimates are if there's a ground invasion,

00:26:29.260 we're looking at $200 a barrel oil instead of $90.

00:26:33.180 And if you want to pay $8 a gallon, you're going to enjoy yourself.

00:26:39.060 If you like the COVID lockdowns and you like your paycheck not going anywhere

00:26:43.440 and you like losing your house and you like losing your car, 1.00

00:26:47.860 oh, while we got Muslims that have been brought in by our evil governments, 0.99

00:26:50.980 by the millions running around in New York and Dearborn, Michigan, 0.93

00:26:54.480 mayors and people saying they are with Iran and are getting ready to come after us,

00:26:59.640 you're like, we'll take care of them. 0.88

00:27:00.780 I know that.

00:27:01.840 But the point is, we have been walked into this disaster, this mother of all fiascos.

00:27:09.620 I've got a lot more on this when we come back.

00:27:31.840 The globalists cannot have our country survive. 0.90

00:27:34.220 They want transhumanism.

00:27:35.340 They want the Great Reset.

00:27:36.460 They want the New World Order.

00:27:37.860 That's why they demonize Americans. 1.00

00:27:39.400 That's why they pay the NBA and the NFL to take a knee during the anthem and push all this communist Chinese garbage. 1.00

00:27:46.360 Because what America stands for is antithetical to what they're doing. 1.00
