00:00:58.100 see conditions at airfrance.ca. No new attacks before the midterms. Six days. That's how long
00:01:07.420 you have before the only promise the White House made about this war runs out. And no one has told
00:01:14.320 you what happens next. But I'm going to show you the plan, though they haven't explained it
00:01:20.360 explicitly, is clearly visible to those paying attention. Countries are already preparing.
00:01:26.740 Our adversaries are already moving, and it's going to cost all of us. 0.81
00:01:33.880 Since February 28th, the U.S. and its allies have been bombing Iran. 0.80
00:01:39.880 Eight months, a ceasefire that keeps breaking, and one rule from the White House, nothing before the election.
00:01:46.860 On October 28th, the Wall Street Journal reported the president is leaning toward hitting Iran's
00:01:53.340 infrastructure and nuclear sites the moment the midterms are done. Israel wanted to engage in
00:01:59.820 strikes in mid-October, but Trump said wait. Both governments agreed on the same thing,
00:02:05.980 to wait until the U.S. midterm elections are over. Central Command went in with a target list.
00:02:14.120 Retired Marine colonel who's seen it says we've hit about 5,000 of those targets, 80% of the list.
00:02:21.740 What's left in the last 20% is dams, power grids, bridges.
00:02:26.380 The next round isn't missile sites, it's the lights and the water.
00:02:31.580 Three carrier groups are moving in.
00:02:33.900 Refueling flights are up 50% in a month.
00:02:36.740 A senior officer said in four words, things are about to get spicy.
00:02:43.560 None of us were told the plan, but around the world we can see all of the signs of this turning
00:02:49.520 into something substantially worse. Britain is told every household this month to hold three
00:02:56.180 days of water, food, and medicine, a wind-up radio, and cash. Germany says 10 days are required and
00:03:04.380 lists war as the first reason. Sweden told its citizens this is the most dangerous moment since
00:03:11.260 the Second World War, and that they have a legal duty to serve. France is mailing a survival manual
00:03:18.380 to every home. Japan is drawing down a 254-day oil reserve and debating its first rationing order
00:03:27.000 since 1973. In the U.S., the State Department just ordered American families out of Saudi Arabia.
00:03:36.320 Federal cyber officials say Iranian hackers are already inside water and power systems. 1.00
00:03:42.880 No one is using the word, but everyone is acting like it. 0.75
00:03:48.040 War.
00:03:50.180 And the adversaries of the United States are moving.
00:03:53.780 Yesterday, Russia test-fired a nuclear-capable missile from a submarine at a range next door to Norway and Finland,
00:04:02.120 hours after their leaders got Putin on the phone.
00:04:05.640 The same day, the commander of U.S. Army Pacific said the window for China to take Taiwan is still
00:04:12.420 valid. This morning, Taiwan counted 50 Chinese ships in its waters. Iran has targeted Gulf
00:04:20.760 airports, pipelines, data centers, and undersea internet cables. And you're already paying. 0.70
00:04:28.900 Gas is $4.29 nationally.
00:04:31.900 It was $2.98 when this started.
00:04:35.240 Diesel at $6.35 a record.
00:04:39.100 And diesel moves the price of everything.
00:04:42.220 Oil is at $116.
00:04:45.300 The president's answer this weekend, we're making a fortune.
00:04:50.600 Every government is preparing.
00:04:53.240 Every adversary is moving.
00:04:55.580 And the bill is adding up.
00:04:57.080 And the one date they all agreed on, November 4th, in six days, Trump goes to war and no one is ready.
00:05:27.080 personally formulated Appalachian Nights in my kitchen with various blends,
00:05:32.300 Timcast 10 will get you a discount on everything, even subscriptions.
00:05:36.260 So if you say you want a bag of Appalachian Nights every single month,
00:05:39.740 you use that promo code, it will be forever, even when that promo code expires.
00:05:45.100 I know it is a bit silly to do a coffee promo on a video about a major war
00:05:49.500 breaking out, but the truth is this is how we run the business.
00:05:53.240 If you think the videos that we do here at Timcast are important,
00:05:56.000 Buying coffee gets you great coffee that also helps support the work that we do.
00:06:00.740 Let's jump into the big story, the most shocking report we've gotten so far in this potential war.
00:06:08.900 Newsweek reporting that Vladimir Putin has test fired nuclear capable missiles amid the dispute over a NATO phone call.
00:06:17.180 Now, all of these pieces on the surface point in one direction, a major war breaking out.
00:06:24.200 Nobody knows for sure because we don't know the exact interests of all parties included.
00:06:29.080 But before we read why Putin is firing nukes, let me give you the quick rundown of where we are at so far.
00:06:35.640 Eight months into an Iranian war, the Ukraine war going on for years, Vladimir Putin restructuring the Russian economy into a war economy.
00:06:44.860 We have had Russian missile missile incursions into NATO territory several times.
00:06:49.920 We have seen Russian mobilization in Kaliningrad.
00:06:53.560 For those that are not familiar, this is a piece of Russian territory separate from the
00:06:57.500 Russian mainland in the Baltic with Poland, and I believe some of the other Baltic states,
00:07:02.160 perhaps Lithuania, bordering it, and I believe Belarus.
00:07:06.820 There is a fear that if Vladimir Putin becomes too desperate, then we may see NATO dragged
00:07:13.340 into this war.
00:07:14.820 Ukraine launched strikes on Iranian vessels in the Caspian, delivering materials and
00:07:19.200 weapons to Russia. So this war has already expanded, not to mention we've got potential
00:07:24.500 conflict with Cuba. Talk of what's going on with Taiwan. Now, all of these things are being screamed
00:07:30.140 in our faces. But one thing we are seeing on the ground that I've been covering all week
00:07:36.580 is that our governments in the West have been issuing very serious warnings, telling us
00:07:42.600 stockpile, get ready. It's about to get bad. Donald Trump said, once the elections are over,
00:07:50.020 things get hot. And we just saw a drill from the U.S. military to dig mass graves, temporary graves.
00:07:57.600 And, you know, for a lot of people, they say that sounds shocking and alarmist. I mean,
00:08:02.100 are we planning to kill a ton of people? Unfortunately, no, my friends, the mass graves 0.65
00:08:07.000 they're building are for U.S. troops. And that may be the scariest thing. Now, many people have
00:08:11.320 rebutted, said, Tim, this is just standard drilling. This is what the U.S. does. They want
00:08:16.560 to be prepared. They weren't prepared before. I would only ask, again, with all of these puzzle
00:08:22.280 pieces on the surface sitting there, can we at least line them up? Because they're pointing in
00:08:26.980 one direction. Take a look at this from Yahoo News. Russia said it had test-launched an
00:08:32.840 intercontinental ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine shortly after a rare
00:08:37.700 phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and two NATO leaders exposed a rift in
00:08:43.520 European political unity. A Bulava missile was fired from Russia's Generalissimo Suvorov ballistic
00:08:50.000 missile submarine deployed in the sea of Akosk, Akosk, pronouncing the Russian words, in the
00:08:57.120 northwestern Pacific Ocean, Moscow Defense Ministry said on Wednesday. The Bulava ICBM has a touted
00:09:02.560 range of more than 5,000 miles. And along with Russia's Bore-class ballistic missile submarines,
00:09:09.060 a key part of Kremlin's strategy for deterring a nuclear strike on the country or striking back
00:09:15.960 if it comes under fire first, each Bore-class submarine can carry up to 16 Balava missiles.
00:09:22.540 The missile was aimed towards the Chitsa testing range in Russia's western Argen-Gelsk region,
00:09:30.320 Hey, I'm trying here, which looks out to the White Sea, not far from NATO members, Norway and Finland.
00:09:36.240 Well, Russia occasionally uses its elusive submarines to trial nuclear capable missile launches.
00:09:41.440 The latest test comes shortly after Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Garstor, is it Star, said they had spoken with Putin.
00:09:51.860 Take a look at this, an image taken from the footage of the on the Russian Defense Ministry official website showing the nuclear submarine firing the Bulava missile.
00:10:00.320 The Nordic leaders initiated the call to discuss the Ukraine war and efforts to end the long
00:10:04.620 running conflict, including planned three way talks between Moscow, Washington and Kiev
00:10:09.080 in Abu Dhabi next month, as well as Europe's broader security concerns.
00:10:13.660 According to a readout published by the Finnish government, the Kremlin said Norway and Finland
00:10:17.800 had requested the conversation during which Putin accused the European Union and NATO
00:10:22.560 of drawing out the war through confrontational policies.
00:10:26.000 Both countries and our NATO members bordering Russia, rushing to build up their militaries and surge defense spending amid warnings from across the alliance Russia could attack NATO territory in the next few years.
00:10:38.740 Russia has long criticized European support for Ukraine, with Norway, Finland and Denmark among Kiev's staunchest supporters.
00:10:45.300 Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, from CBS Austin, CENTCOM drafts new Iran strike options as Trump weighs post midterm escalation.
00:10:56.000 The U.S. has already issued warnings to the Gulf states once the midterm elections are over and Trump and the Republicans are cleared politically, they are going to launch strikes in the Middle East.
00:11:06.620 And as they are preparing for mass temporary internment, they call it.
00:11:10.740 Now, I want to make sure you guys understand we cover this over the past just the other day.
00:11:14.700 This is for American soldiers.
00:11:17.320 And the implication is one thing.
00:11:19.760 Now, I'm going to pause.
00:11:20.960 Let's not get too sensational.
00:11:23.720 This may just be the military running exercises they do.
00:11:27.660 And because we've got war talk, people put these pieces together.
00:11:31.580 That being said, these pieces may very well fit together.
00:11:35.900 That is, it has long been speculated by myself personally and many others.
00:11:39.960 If the U.S. is going to get real regime change in Iran, airstrikes will not cut it.
00:11:46.060 They will need boots on the ground because fighter jets do not occupy street corners.
00:11:51.220 This may have been the plan the whole time, but Republicans know they can't publicly say
00:11:56.480 they are going to send U.S. soldiers into Iran because it would destroy them politically in
00:12:02.280 every capacity. Thus, Trump is waiting until the midterms are over. Excuse me. Now, the scary thing
00:12:09.200 is, excuse me, we are preparing for the possibility of mass U.S. casualties. There's speculation as
00:12:17.340 to why all of this is going on. I'll give you a quick theory. The theory is that Saudi Arabia,
00:12:22.360 with the petrodollar deal ending, tells the United States, if you want us to trade oil and U.S.
00:12:27.820 dollars, we want the Iranian regime removed. You have to do it. The deal works like this. 0.99
00:12:35.220 The petrodollar is the standard for all oil in the world. Anyone who wants to buy oil has got
00:12:41.460 to buy oil with U.S. dollars. This means even our adversaries in the United States must purchase
00:12:47.320 U.S. dollars with their own currency. And the U.S. can tell them to shove off. And they've done that
00:12:52.060 with Iran. Saudi Arabia and OPEC, they produce massive amounts of oil, around a quarter of the
00:12:58.080 world's oil. So if China wants oil, these countries say U.S. dollars. What does that mean?
00:13:04.620 Chinese currency has to be valuable to Americans to purchase. Now, over the past couple of decades,
00:13:10.460 this has been weakening. And Donald Trump wants to maintain this. But here's the deal. Why would
00:13:16.640 these countries force everyone else to use the U.S. dollar? It's simple. The U.S. promises to
00:13:21.680 police the waterways to make sure that international commerce is safe. Saudi Arabia says, listen,
00:13:28.760 if we got problems, you help us take care of it. Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, they're striking
00:13:33.400 civilian ships. Take care of it. Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, take care of it. Russia, take 1.00
00:13:38.580 care of it. So Trump is trying to maintain control of all of these waterways, Panama, Suez, and the
00:13:45.380 Northwest Passage. Now, I'm not saying this is definitive. We don't know for sure.
00:13:50.640 Speculation is right now that the Saudis say if you want to re-up this petrodollar deal and you
00:13:55.380 want America to stay on top, prove you will do what you say you do. Iran has been funding Houthi
00:14:01.460 rebels. They have been funding militia groups that have been disrupting trade and energy production.
00:14:06.480 And if the U.S. cannot police what these people are doing, why should Saudi Arabia care about the
00:14:14.280 petrodollar deal. And thus, we are about to see a dramatic escalation because it gets crazier than
00:14:20.200 just this. China obviously does not want to have to buy U.S. dollars for oil. Russia obviously does
00:14:27.000 not want to either. So when Western powers were gaining influence in Ukraine and about to secure
00:14:32.680 a major trade deal, Russia intervened, knowing they had lost, declared a special military operation
00:14:39.660 and invaded the country to secure their access to Crimea and the Black Sea. Why? If they were cut
00:14:45.320 off, it would hinder their ability to transport oil and gas through the Black Sea, through the
00:14:49.880 Bosphorus, into the Mediterranean, the Suez, and to the other side of the world. The U.S. was about
00:14:54.260 to get massive control over Russia's ability to sell oil, putting them under the petrodollar boot,
00:15:00.820 which they had been fighting for decades. The U.S. and the West naturally said, absolutely not.
00:15:06.260 and the escalation is now before us. Russia is saying we are no shrinking violet. We will not
00:15:12.260 sit by while the U.S. decides they will be the global hegemon. Vladimir Putin longs for the turn
00:15:18.740 of the Soviet Union with a federal trade block that he with a Russian federal trade block he
00:15:24.080 is trying to build for which he wanted Ukraine involved. The U.S., of course, is pushing back
00:15:29.140 and it's about to get hot. Daily Caller reports signs point at new and more deadly Iran war on
00:15:36.980 the horizon. This story, of course, from just the other day. Iran is threatening to unleash
00:15:42.440 devastating attacks against civilian infrastructure and American warships across the Persian Gulf
00:15:46.880 if President Donald Trump launches another major offensive against the Islamic Republic.
00:15:52.000 Tehran has warned that Gulf airports, pipelines and other civilian facilities could become targets
00:15:57.480 if the U.S. and Israel renew their air campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people
00:16:02.380 familiar with diplomatic warnings. The threats follow a massive American military buildup
00:16:07.080 as both countries brace for a possible escalation after the November 3rd midterm elections.
00:16:13.220 The forces pulling matters toward another round of war are much stronger than the forces pushing
00:16:18.440 back. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft,
00:16:23.620 previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The warnings follow an exclusive report revealing
00:16:28.320 that American military operations against Iran could rapidly intensify, according to a senior
00:16:33.440 military official who spoke to the DCNF. Things are about to get spicy. Well, here we go, my
00:16:40.600 friends. The US and Israel are planning for a possible attack on Iran, source tells NPR. Of
00:16:46.960 course, this is what Trump is suggesting is coming just after the election. Now, take a look
00:16:53.660 outside of the claims of what may or may not be, because when it comes to classification and
00:16:58.740 military, we just don't know. But what about what we do know? From the Daily Caller, Europe
00:17:04.740 distributes preparedness plans in case of crisis or war. Growing businesses deal with the same
00:17:11.880 problem. Too many tools, too much back and forth, and not enough time. Odoo helps bring it all

00:17:40.920 Europe have disseminated emergency plans to citizens, including advice to stockpile food.
00:17:46.340 England, Germany, and Sweden have all advised their citizens to stockpile non-perishable foods,
00:17:51.920 medicine, and water, according to Clash report. The respective countries cited possibilities
00:17:56.920 including war, cyber attacks, extreme weather, and disease as factors for disseminating this
00:18:01.900 guidance. The British, German, and Swedish embassies in Washington, D.C. did not respond
00:18:06.380 for immediate comment. In addition to war scenarios, there are also numerous peacetime
00:18:11.920 crises that may lead to a shortage of food and thus supply bottlenecks. These include, for example,
00:18:18.100 animal diseases or serious accidents in large-scale technical installations, warns a German government
00:18:23.360 website managed by the country's federal ministry of food, agriculture, and homeland. The website
00:18:28.860 goes on to advise their citizens to stockpile enough emergency supplies to last 10 days,
00:18:34.100 including two liters of liquid per person per day.
00:18:37.760 From severe weather to cyber attacks,
00:18:40.240 emergencies can disrupt the service you rely on,
00:18:43.200 advises the British government's Be Ready campaign.
00:18:45.720 Being ready for three days helps you manage
00:18:47.760 while support reaches those in need.
00:18:50.340 The UK government provided citizens with a checklist
00:18:52.380 including drinking water, non-perishables,
00:18:54.400 essential medicine, a first aid kit, a torch,
00:18:56.500 a battery or wind-up radio,
00:18:58.920 a charged power bank, and cash
00:19:00.600 as part of its Be Ready campaign.
00:19:03.180 Sweden directly warns its citizens of the risks of a conflict breaking out on its soil.
00:19:07.720 Quote, war is being waged in our corner of the world, and the security situation is the most serious since the Second World War.
00:19:16.320 Terrorist threats, cyber attacks, and misleading information are being used to harm and influence us.
00:19:22.400 An armed attack against Sweden cannot be ruled out, the Swedish Civil Defense and Resilience Agency told its citizens.
00:19:28.080 The agency urges Swedes to be prepared, saying that most people have an obligation to help in the situation of war or a threat of war.
00:19:37.100 The news out of Europe comes the same time the Department of War has enacted the Fortress America program,
00:19:44.280 an initiative aimed at making military installations able to be completely self-reliant for 90 days.
00:19:51.340 As security fears grip Europe, France plans to distribute a survival guide to households.
00:19:59.420 French, this is from a year and a half ago, mind you.
00:20:02.820 French Prime Minister Francois Berriot plans to distribute a survival manual to every household with instructions on how to prepare for imminent threats amid concerns over an emboldened Russia and weakened security support from the United States.
00:20:15.720 From May 19th, Germany maps bunkers, expands civil defense in $11.6 billion plan.
00:20:25.480 And now Japan.
00:20:28.180 Japan cautious on asking public to conserve energy as Iran war drags on.
00:20:34.880 And the fear here with Japan is that the Strait of Hormuz being cut off is hindering energy supply to the eastern part of the world, to the eastern hemisphere.
00:20:43.860 And thus, conflict may rise between China and Taiwan as China becomes increasingly desperate and the U.S. is dragged into a conflict in the Strait of Hormuz for which we've pulled our aircraft carriers out of the Pacific region.
00:20:58.360 Japan Times reports, the government is planning to consider carefully whether it will ask companies and the general public to cut back on electricity and petroleum product consumption, several government sources have said.
00:21:09.700 Amid concerns over a possible prolonged military conflict between the U.S. and Israel and Iran,
00:21:15.500 the government will make a decision on the matter after assessing the impact of the Middle East
00:21:19.220 situation and energy supply and the Japanese economy. Because, my friends, we are gearing
00:21:24.660 up for war. Let me grab this one. This is from Stars and Stripes. U.S. Army Pacific plans for
00:21:30.380 possibility of war over Taiwan next year. This is from today. I'm sorry, from yesterday.
00:21:35.820 Now, why? Why is all of this happening? But my friends, it's because the prospect of an
00:21:42.280 escalating war, it's the domino effect. Donald Trump seems to be planning boots on the ground
00:21:48.840 in Iran. He's talked about Karg Island. Now, this is an island in the Gulf where Iran refines and
00:21:56.280 prepares oil for transport and is off the Iranian mainland. Storming the gates, storming the island, 0.72
00:22:02.260 might be much more simple than the actual mainland Iran.
00:22:07.300 Trump's talked about needing to do that.
00:22:09.440 But you will not get regime change in Iran without U.S. boots on the ground.
00:22:14.920 And the U.S. is preparing to build mass graves for 2,400 people per operation.
00:22:24.560 These are for American soldiers.
00:22:26.720 Now, again, I don't want to be too sensational.
00:22:29.600 This could just be a standard drill.
00:22:30.960 It is what it is.
00:22:31.460 They said, we haven't done this since the Korean War, and maybe we need to know how.
00:22:35.160 The question I just have consistently after this is, what made them bring this front of mind?
00:22:40.600 Maybe someone saw a paper and they're like, do we know how to do this?
00:22:42.980 We haven't done it in a long time.
00:22:43.780 Let's do it.
00:22:44.720 Or could it be that the concern is if the U.S. must put boots on the ground in Iran,
00:22:49.560 it is going to lead to mass casualties of U.S. soldiers.
00:22:53.800 Could it be that Iran is not stopping and Trump will not back down?
00:22:59.020 Thus, we will get a cascade effect.
00:23:01.760 China moves on Taiwan.
00:23:03.240 Russia expands with conflict in NATO countries.
00:23:06.640 And thus, U.S. troops are required.
00:23:09.780 There have even been European nations warning of conscription,
00:23:13.260 telling their civilians,
00:23:14.680 I hope you're ready because war is coming.
00:23:17.580 U.S. Army Pacific has prepared the Indo-Pacific theater 0.84
00:23:20.140 under the assumption that China will have the capacity
00:23:22.340 and possibly the intent to seize Taiwan by military force next year,
00:23:26.440 its commander said Tuesday.
00:23:27.900 The threat posed by what has come to be called the Davidson Window is still valid,
00:23:32.360 General Ronald Clark told the audience at the TechNet Indo-Pacific Conference in Honolulu.
00:23:37.180 In 2021, Admiral Philip Davidson, then head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command,
00:23:41.920 told a Senate committee that China was on course to achieve the military capacity to seize Taiwan by 2027.
00:23:48.240 The six years leading up to 2027, during which China achieved that capacity,
00:23:52.160 became widely known as the Davidson Window,
00:23:54.880 And it has driven U.S. defense budgeting and strategy in the Pacific with the goal of either deterring or obstructing such an invasion.
00:24:01.240 China regards Taiwan, a self-governed democracy lying just off its southeastern coast, as a renegade province that must be brought under Beijing's control.
00:24:10.120 Now, the U.S. has shifted computer chip production into the U.S. mainland because we primarily got it from Taiwan.
00:24:17.260 And we don't know if we will be able to defend it.
00:24:20.800 Where it gets bad for everybody else here in the United States.
00:24:23.820 Certainly, with the escalation of this war in Iran, gas prices are through the roof.
00:24:28.240 Diesel is at record levels.
00:24:30.060 Costs are high.
00:24:31.420 And I can see it in our coffee sales.
00:24:34.080 Now, let me just tell you, coffee sales are a booming for us.
00:24:37.080 We do pretty well.
00:24:37.920 So thank you all so much for buying.
00:24:40.040 I'm not bringing this up to do another promo, but to point out, as someone who runs a business
00:24:44.940 that sells an evergreen product, a consistent product, coffee.
00:24:50.180 I mean, it's everybody's got some coffee brand because everybody loves coffee.
00:24:54.740 I can see when sales of coffee are down, people are hurting.
00:24:58.760 And it's fair to say it's it's obvious to say it's because of the cost of energy.
00:25:04.260 Now, what happens when this war escalates and the costs go higher?
00:25:08.520 I hope you are ready for what this means.
00:25:11.440 Unfortunately, at the same time, we may face a very real threat of cyber attacks.
00:25:16.980 Fox News reports hackers could already be inside American utilities.
00:25:22.060 Cyber experts warn of Trojan horse threat.
00:25:25.140 We call it the grand Mexican standoff. 0.58
00:25:28.080 You familiar with what that is?
00:25:29.420 Well, a Mexican standoff is when there are three people each pointing a gun at each other.
00:25:33.700 In a Mexican standoff, no one can pull the trigger.
00:25:36.060 Why? 0.96
00:25:37.120 Well, there's persons one, two, and three.
00:25:39.480 If person one fires on person two, person three then fires on person one, person three
00:25:44.680 is the winner.
00:25:45.760 So person one doesn't want to be the first one to shoot.
00:25:48.540 If person two shoots person three, then person one, you get the point.
00:25:53.160 So as it pertains to cybersecurity, many experts believe that every single country
00:25:58.480 has been infected through what we call zero-day exploits.
00:26:02.500 That is, Russia has infected the U.S., Iran's infected Russia, South Africa, Brazil. 0.53
00:26:08.160 Every nation has a kill switch effectively in critical infrastructure for every other country.
00:26:15.080 This is a challenge with cybersecurity. It's very, very difficult to know where the holes are.
00:26:20.540 The argument is if the U.S. escalates too much, any one of these countries can flick a switch
00:26:26.780 and disable water, power, transport, etc. Now, this may be why fortress operation began.
00:26:35.400 That is the Pentagon saying every military base must be ready in the event civilian infrastructure
00:26:40.840 goes down. It could be because oil prices are going to lead to a death spiral in the market.
00:26:46.660 Less buying means a weaker economy and a weaker economy means less buying a downward spiral in
00:26:51.660 which we see stagnation in production. Military bases are unable to operate because there is no
00:26:57.460 civilian infrastructure. I genuinely believe there's a powerful, powerful likelihood, a strong
00:27:03.720 possibility that should this war escalate and we have an overt declaration between Russia,
00:27:09.180 the United States, or just the BRICS nations and NATO, you will see a domino effect of cyber
00:27:14.220 attacks. Instantly, water refineries, water reclamation, power plants offline in the United
00:27:19.580 States. Same thing in China, same thing in Russia, Iran, Brazil, India, everywhere. Now,
00:27:25.300 people think this is mutually assured destruction with nuclear bombs. But I'm going to tell you,
00:27:31.180 nuclear bombs are archaic, my friends. Oh, yeah, you want to say they're scary and they can wipe
00:27:35.540 out so many people, but does that really matter? Think about it this way. If the US or Russia were
00:27:40.260 to launch ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles at each other, what are you gonna do?
00:27:46.480 Okay. All right. Let's, let's get serious. So let's say Russia launches a multiple independently
00:27:51.100 targeted re-entry vehicle or MIRV as they're called a single ICBM that will drop 10 nuclear 0.69
00:27:57.460 warheads each hundreds of times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
00:28:03.160 peppering the entire eastern seaboard of the United States. Certainly, that could wipe out
00:28:08.360 10 cities. Serious damage to the United States. But the Midwest, the mountainous regions,
00:28:15.300 the Pacific, they're going to be largely untouched. Now, let's say that even if this missile is
00:28:19.960 launched, the U.S. has countermeasures with satellites, laser weapons, and just knocks
00:28:25.120 this thing out of the sky and it goes nowhere. Fizzles out over the ocean. Failure. Let's talk
00:28:30.520 about how scary it really gets. Are we really scared that a nuclear bomb is going to land on
00:28:33.940 a city? I mean, it's damaging to a country for sure, but it doesn't end to the country,
00:28:37.520 especially with internet capabilities. That is, the government can operate from basically anywhere,
00:28:42.800 even space. The US government, that is, or any one of these governments. Let's talk about the
00:28:47.660 real threat of mutually assured destruction. If every single water reclamation plant went offline,
00:28:53.580 if train switching stations went offline, if airlines went offline, instantly the economy is
00:29:00.060 gone. Food is no longer being transported. Water going bad. People in cities desperate.
00:29:07.060 You want to talk about destroying a country? We call this industrial control system hacks.
00:29:12.940 And it is widely believed that all nations have what's called a zero day exploit or more.
00:29:20.000 Now, we call them zero day exploits for a couple of reasons. Depends on who you ask.
00:29:24.020 It's because they have either been in the public space for zero days, meaning no one knows they
00:29:31.260 exist, or that governments have had zero days to prepare for this issue. When someone finds an
00:29:38.700 exploit in a computer system and no one knows about it, we call that an O day or zero day.
00:29:43.600 This means in the public space, no one knows about it. It has spent zero days in public knowledge.
00:29:51.080 Again, some take it to mean the government has had zero days to prepare for it.
00:29:55.860 Similar.
00:29:56.980 Now, if someone discloses this exploit publicly saying we found this massive vulnerability,
00:30:02.160 it is no longer a zero-day exploit because everybody rushes to secure that problem.
00:30:07.980 The real problem?
00:30:09.040 There's probably an infinite number of exploits capable for any one of these systems,
00:30:13.420 any one of these machines in any one of these countries.
00:30:16.020 So how do you stop it all?
00:30:18.080 You can't.
00:30:18.720 And that's the real mutually assured destruction.
00:30:21.440 I'll give you one conspiracy example.
00:30:24.060 In Donald Trump's first term, he he'd ordered airstrikes on Iran, abruptly called them off
00:30:30.380 and flew, ordered our our drones back.
00:30:34.400 He said it was because he did not think that the the the reason we were striking Iran was
00:30:40.100 worth killing 500 people.
00:30:42.740 Interestingly, right around the time that Donald Trump ordered this strike, an oil
00:30:47.220 refinery in Pennsylvania blew up. Now, of course, there's no real evidence to believe they're
00:30:52.840 connected. And I can only speculate. But in the cybersecurity world, my friends and I, we said,
00:30:57.300 could it be that Trump publicly said we are launching a strike on Iran? Iran flicked a switch, 0.59
00:31:04.360 blowing up refinery through a hack. Trump then realized we're vulnerable and the retaliation
00:31:10.280 is going to be bad for the US. Maybe, maybe not. If it were true, I think Iran would have done a
00:31:15.980 lot worse since we've been blowing them up like crazy. But it could be that the reason Trump
00:31:21.680 called this off is because we knew we needed to harden our defenses. And over the past several
00:31:26.120 years, eight or so years, maybe five, six years, the U.S. has hardened our defenses against the 1.00
00:31:33.900 Iranians. My friends, I don't believe the war is going to kick off literally on Wednesday. 1.00
00:31:39.840 But I do believe once the election smoke clears in the coming months, we are going to get a dramatic escalation.
00:31:48.600 Now, I may be wrong.
00:31:50.340 I hope I am.
00:31:51.820 But I'm looking at all the pieces.
00:31:53.480 I'm looking at what Donald Trump is saying.
00:31:55.720 The question is, would it hurt anyone to be prepared?
00:31:59.640 It wouldn't.
00:32:00.540 So I hope you are all taking it seriously.
00:32:02.200 Even Dan Bongino went on his show and said, get supplies now.
00:32:07.660 The other day on our show, one of our guests said that he got a call from someone in the Navy saying,
00:32:12.100 I can't tell you why, but you need to buy emergency supplies right now.
00:32:16.680 The question is, will you?
00:32:20.000 I'll give you this one last warning.
00:32:22.480 Your worst case scenario, if you are wrong and buy food and water, you eat the food and water, which you needed to eat anyway.
00:32:29.980 Your worst case scenario, if you're right, the economy is crumbling, war erupting,
00:32:36.160 fuel prices through the roof, but you will have some supplies. So, listen to me or don't. Do your
