00:00:50.060 With the Iran war heating up, the Strait of Hormuz still closed, gas prices expected to skyrocket.
00:00:58.680 The U.S. will not tolerate the Iranian government or military shutting down 20% of U.S. oil and natural gas trade.
00:01:07.940 This means it's likely going to get much, much more hot.
00:01:13.040 But the question on everyone's mind is, are we in World War III now that we've got the Gulf in chaos, already the war with Russia and Ukraine, Venezuela?
00:01:26.160 People are waiting with bated breath to see, will China make a move on Taiwan?
00:01:31.760 Will that be the moment by which we are officially in World War III?
00:01:35.500 Well, one of the most interesting stories I've seen in a minute is that there is a guy who builds nuclear bunkers, bunkers to survive the apocalypse, who said he's got two high-level Trump cabinet members who are asking him, when is my bunker going to be ready?
00:02:03.020 Now, me, myself, my friends, I actually have a stake in a survival camp.
00:02:09.080 I don't know if the right way to describe it is.
00:02:11.180 But there is a company called Fortitude Ranch, for which I am a small investor.
00:02:16.580 And my understanding is that many of the people who seek out emergency survival shelters work in military and intelligence.
00:02:26.440 And it's probably because, well, to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
00:02:29.500 Now, maybe we don't need to be so freaked out.
00:02:32.680 But when you are on the front lines of this, in terms of the news and information, the literal war, you're probably thinking it could happen at any moment.
00:02:42.480 And so when you have Trump cabinet members contacting this guy saying, when is my bunker going to be ready?
00:02:49.580 You have to wonder about the conversations that are happening behind the scenes in the Trump administration.
00:02:55.820 Fears of potential retaliation.
00:02:58.100 Maybe China enters the war formally.
00:03:01.000 And then, oh boy, and then it is World War III.
00:03:05.900 But there's more to this.
00:03:07.440 Recently, Carolyn Levitt was asked about the potential for a military draft and whether or not that was on or off the table. 0.98
00:03:14.260 To which Carolyn Levitt said, this president won't take anything off the table.
00:03:19.260 Now, of course, my friends, this may just be typical Donald Trump administration kind of rhetoric.
00:03:25.300 You will not get me to say something.
00:03:27.280 We don't know.
00:03:27.940 We're not going to say anything.
00:03:29.320 Trump has talked about it before.
00:03:30.620 You come to me and ask me my strategies and plans.
00:03:32.400 I'm going to tell you, no, I'm not.
00:03:33.360 I'm not playing that.
00:03:34.580 We got any option that we need.
00:03:35.860 The argument being that if Iran, China, Russia, or anyone else hears Trump says we will not draft, they may think we can apply that leverage.
00:03:46.180 That means they won't have the manpower.
00:03:49.000 Does this mean Trump will actually draft anybody?
00:03:51.880 Probably not.
00:03:53.240 That being said, people are freaking out now because you've got talk of potentially drafting young Americans.
00:04:01.480 And let's just be real.
00:04:02.460 You're not going to get anybody in Gen Z to be effectively drafted.
00:04:07.020 Sorry.
00:04:07.660 These are the ends of the glory days, my friends, because you're either going to have some fat, lefty, progressive, short, weasley guy, or you're going to have some anti-Israel right-wing Gen Z guy, and neither of which are going to be effective draftees for your war. 0.70
00:04:22.060 But it is interesting to see this conversation and this rhetoric nonetheless.
00:04:25.500 So let us, my friends, dive into what is going on, the question of World War III, the responses to the threat of the draft.
00:04:32.460 And, my friends, an omen.
00:04:35.220 That's right.
00:04:35.980 Strange sea beasts have washed up on the shores of Mexico, indicating a dark time is to come.
00:04:44.500 It's the doomsday fish, I guess.
00:04:47.040 And then, you know, let's just be real.
00:04:49.820 Civil war, of course, has never left the table.
00:04:52.780 And there are deep concerns about what just happened over the weekend with this Islamic terror attack.
00:04:58.260 While we're talking about foreign conflict and war, reports are emerging now that Iran is activating sleeper cells.
00:05:04.780 And so we have already just seen, in the past week, several Islamic terror attacks.
00:05:10.420 A couple.
00:05:10.860 Well, you're in the United States.
00:05:13.400 So it is getting scary, my friends, but let's jump to the news.
00:05:16.000 Before we do, you've got to go to castbrew.com and pick up some delicious castbrew coffee.

00:05:36.280 And I'm going to tell you this.
00:05:36.940 These aluminum bottles, we are assured by the manufacturer, no plastic liner.
00:05:41.700 Indeed, no plastic liner in these aluminum bottles.
00:05:46.480 We also have the Castbrew Vault Black.

00:06:06.800 We got over 800,000 views on last week's video, thanks to you guys sharing and caring.
00:06:13.940 Here's a story from the Telegraph.
00:06:15.300 World War III bunker manufacturer.
00:06:17.480 I'm inundated with calls.
00:06:19.000 As war rages in Iran, Ron Hubbard is fielding inquiries from politicians and billionaires, including two members.
00:06:27.480 Of Trump's cabinet.
00:06:28.980 I'm going to stress this again as we read the story.
00:06:30.960 You have to imagine the kind of conversation happening behind the scenes with Trump's cabinet for a couple of them to go to this guy and say,
00:06:38.240 Hey, I think we need some emergency underground nuclear bunkers.
00:06:42.500 I'd ask him, well, I'm sure Ron says, no questions asked.
00:06:46.420 We're going to build them.
00:06:47.840 Me personally, I'd kind of want to ask them, what makes you think you need it?
00:06:51.460 Additionally, who are these individuals who can afford it?
00:06:56.140 War for most people brings confusion, fear, and destruction.
00:06:59.140 But for Ron Hubbard, it brings something else altogether, opportunity.
00:07:03.180 The 63-year-old Texan builds bunkers designed to help customers survive drone attacks, ballistic missile strikes, or even nuclear Armageddon.
00:07:10.160 With the U.S. war with Iran sparking fears of World War III, business has never been better for Atlas.
00:07:17.100 Quote, I've been inundated with calls, says Hubbard.
00:07:21.460 Inquiries have gone up tenfold since the war broke out last Saturday.
00:07:25.520 Hubbard claims two senior cabinet members in the Trump administration are amongst his clients.
00:07:30.460 One of them texted me yesterday asking me, when will my bunker be ready?
00:07:34.760 Now, this company is really cool, I want to stress.
00:07:36.840 What they do is they build the bunkers out, and then they sell them.
00:07:41.180 So what you do is, if you were to buy one of these bunkers, they got different sizes.
00:07:44.720 It's a cool company, by the way.
00:07:46.040 I just, I think it's fun.
00:07:47.640 They dig a hole, planning for, like, the certain specs to whichever bunker you bought.
00:07:52.280 Then they come in, and they drop them in, and they're pre-built, ready to go.
00:07:56.440 How cool is that?
00:07:58.420 With somewhat remarkable timing, Hubbard's firm opened new offices in Dubai at the end of February.
00:08:03.800 Just two days later, Iranian missiles rained down on the glitzy city,
00:08:08.380 as the Islamic Republic took revenge on the Gulf states for their support for the bombing campaign launched by the United States and Israel.
00:08:13.820 The onslaught shattered the city's carefully cultivated image as a safe paradise for wealthy expats,
00:08:20.100 protected from the instability of the surrounding region.
00:08:22.680 The Texan says two of the city's billionaires immediately got in touch to buy a shelter.
00:08:27.800 I wouldn't call it lucky, but I would call it good timing for them, he says,
00:08:31.440 insisting his motivation is to protect people, not profit.
00:08:34.620 Now, now, hold on there a gosh darn minute, Mr. Hubbard.
00:08:37.140 I think you should profit. 0.90
00:08:38.580 Let's not make profit a dirty word.
00:08:40.840 Profit means that you will be rewarded.
00:08:42.960 That's all it means.
00:08:44.540 Now, to these lefties, the word profit means undue resources accumulated through exploitation, which is nonsense.
00:08:51.560 If it costs me $10 to put a sandwich together, and you pay me $20 for that sandwich,
00:08:58.800 the $10 is not so that I can dance on my table and scream that I'm rich.
00:09:02.920 It's so that I can pay my bills and buy a house, take care of my family.
00:09:05.920 You, sir, making shelters deserve to be rewarded for the labor that you are doing.
00:09:12.400 I think it's probably fine to say I profit from protecting people.
00:09:16.420 Hubbard's company constructs hundreds of bunkers a year in its factory in Sulphur Springs, Texas.
00:09:22.280 They range from vast, sprawling underground compounds worth more than $5 million
00:09:25.820 down to small precast bolt holes for those wishing to ride out doomsday in a budget-friendly $20,000 alternative.
00:09:32.940 Hey, that's not too expensive.
00:09:34.740 Maybe I should get one.
00:09:35.840 With an aesthetic combining a submarine and a Bond villain lair,
00:09:39.100 the shelters can come with cinemas, swimming pools, an armory, and fully equipped gun range inside. 0.98
00:09:44.660 Holy crap.
00:09:46.420 We've actually covered this company quite a bit over the past couple of years, 0.98
00:09:49.440 considering everybody's on the verge of losing their minds.
00:09:52.380 Atlas also saw a large spike in sales after Russia invaded Ukraine, probably why we covered it.
00:09:56.760 But the Iran war has hit home.
00:09:58.600 I have friends and business partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and so many Americans go there.
00:10:03.660 They thought they'd never see bombs fall, but now they're getting the ish bombed out of them. 0.99
00:10:08.600 Atlas has averaged $2 million a month in bunker sales this year,
00:10:12.160 but Hubbard predicts this could rise to $50 million in the next month.
00:10:16.420 Bunker building is like being a farmer.
00:10:18.520 When it's time for harvest, you have to reap all you can.
00:10:22.240 The Texan insists he is not the type who hopes for war, but admits from my point of view,
00:10:26.540 I don't have to advertise very much at the moment.
00:10:29.300 Now that they've been bombed, they're all going to want shelters.
00:10:32.020 It's just a fact of life.
00:10:33.820 Indeed, people in Israel, for instance, have bombed shelters all over the place.
00:10:37.300 But he is not paralyzed by the prospect of the oncoming apocalypse.
00:10:41.480 God has me here for a reason.
00:10:43.220 He says, I'm a Christian.
00:10:44.320 I believe in the Bible, and I believe that there will be that great war. 0.98
00:10:47.620 I don't think that we're, I don't think we're that far from it.
00:10:50.040 Honestly, it seems like the end times are very close.
00:10:53.160 But the question, my friends, is are they actual close?
00:10:55.480 Now, check this out.
00:10:56.780 This is an image of one of their, the inside of their bunkers.
00:11:00.540 Hey, look at that.
00:11:01.260 It looks really, really comfortable and nice, like a little apartment.
00:11:03.300 I don't like the low ceilings, but hey, you get what you get
00:11:05.840 when you're trying to dodge nuclear apocalypse.
00:11:09.180 From NJ.com, they write,
00:11:12.460 we're already in World War III, and Trump doesn't care about our lives.
00:11:17.540 Okay, I mean, look, if you want to write about us being in World War III, fine.
00:11:21.280 But to make it partisan, it's going to make it less effective.
00:11:24.540 Question, U.S. Secretary of State Margot Rubia publicly suggested 0.99
00:11:27.040 that Israel's actions towards Iran effectively forced the U.S. into sinking,
00:11:30.340 I'm sorry, into striking first.
00:11:31.860 A rare acknowledgement from a Trump official
00:11:34.080 that Israeli decisions were driving American military involvement.
00:11:37.780 U.S. officials later pushed back, insisting Trump order the strikes
00:11:40.800 because Iran was backsliding on nuclear negotiations
00:11:43.800 and rapidly expanding its missile capabilities.
00:11:46.660 What do you make of Rubio essentially saying the quiet part out loud?
00:11:50.760 In response, this is, I'm going to make sure I get the name of the guy here.
00:11:55.820 This is Mike Duhame, a Republican, giving his response.
00:12:03.460 He says, Rubio has been in a tough spot as Secretary of State.
00:12:06.140 He has a long history of strong foreign policy positions on his own.
00:12:09.220 But now his job is to promote the president's foreign policy,
00:12:11.640 which doesn't always match his own.
00:12:13.860 It's not easy.
00:12:15.040 But you have been, but when you have been in a prominent politician for decades
00:12:18.380 to put yourself in a position essentially being a high-level staff person,
00:12:21.660 not a principal yourself anymore, that was not an answer.
00:12:24.460 What I will say is this, before I get to the Democrats' response,
00:12:27.600 and then we've got another article, of course.
00:12:29.860 Rubio admitted it, and many people are desperately trying to walk it back.
00:12:32.600 I'm not playing these games.
00:12:34.160 Rubio said that they got word Israel was going to engage in some kind of action.
00:12:38.700 And if Israel did, Iran would then strike U.S. targets in retaliation.
00:12:43.280 That would be unacceptable.
00:12:44.960 So they decided they would go in with Israel 0.91
00:12:47.060 and take out any capabilities that Iran had to strike U.S. targets.
00:12:51.860 Seven U.S. servicemen and women have been killed thus far.
00:12:56.780 Now, Rubio says if they did nothing and took a defensive posture and Americans died,
00:13:02.340 they would be having hearing after hearing,
00:13:04.660 questioning how they could have known it would happen and did not take the action.
00:13:09.260 Thus, because Israel was prepared to move, the U.S. was stuck.
00:13:14.360 Israel being our ally, the U.S. said, we have to go in. 0.94
00:13:17.860 And you know what?
00:13:19.600 I've heard a lot of people say, no, no, the U.S. wanted to do this anyway.
00:13:23.220 No, spare me, dude.
00:13:24.080 Spare me, spare me, spare me.
00:13:25.060 Trump was trying to avoid this.
00:13:26.900 Israel dragged us in.
00:13:28.480 That's true.
00:13:30.040 Now, the Democrat, Julie, says,
00:13:31.600 I would rather focus on the fact that we're already in World War III,
00:13:34.800 and no one is talking about it in that context.
00:13:36.940 This conflict has rapidly expanded to involve over a dozen countries
00:13:40.200 through direct military action, defensive interceptions, or retaliatory strikes.
00:13:44.360 While the core offensive was launched by the United States and Israel,
00:13:47.540 Iran has retaliated against regional neighbors hosting U.S. assets or intercepting projectiles,
00:13:55.460 including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman.
00:13:59.580 Furthermore, nations like Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Azerbaijan,
00:14:03.900 have seen their territories used as battlegrounds or targeted by strikes.
00:14:08.480 While the spillover effects of hostilities have triggered military or humanitarian crises
00:14:12.960 in neighboring Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
00:14:15.980 Meanwhile, Russia is now providing Iran with targeting intelligence on American military acts
00:14:20.880 in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft.
00:14:24.880 While Ukraine is providing the U.S. with assistance in helping to protect against Iranian drones,
00:14:29.480 what does that sound like to you?
00:14:31.620 And my friends, I agree with Julie Roginsky, a Democrat.
00:14:37.020 This sounds to me like World War III.
00:14:40.000 Well, the Independent has chimed in.
00:14:42.680 The world has turned into a real-life house of dynamite.
00:14:46.560 Has World War III already started?
00:14:49.800 The hit Netflix film imagined a world where the U.S. president was having to make terrifying choices
00:14:54.320 as a ballistic missile hurled toward America.
00:14:58.300 As the world takes a step closer to a regional war, turning into a global conflict,
00:15:01.880 military history guy Walters explains why it's hard to ignore the comparisons
00:15:05.460 between what happened in the last seven days and 1914.
00:15:09.740 Now, I just must step aside real quick to address the film, House of Dynamite. 0.96
00:15:13.540 Man, that movie sucked.
00:15:15.660 Okay, in all seriousness, it was awesome for the first 20 minutes, and then the movie ends. 0.98
00:15:20.580 And then it's basically the same movie four times like every 20 minutes.
00:15:25.740 Now, I mean, seriously, the movie is about a ballistic missile heading towards the U.S.,
00:15:30.580 and they can't stop it.
00:15:31.900 And then right before you get that climax, that apex, it stops,
00:15:36.080 starts over with a slightly different perspective.
00:15:39.500 Same thing happening.
00:15:40.840 And then right before that moment, stops, starts over with a slightly different—
00:15:44.960 Okay.
00:15:46.300 I was like, I'm—
00:15:47.180 Like, after the first 20 minutes, I just started skipping
00:15:49.860 because it's the same movie over and over and over again.
00:15:52.740 It's interesting, though.
00:15:54.380 What would happen in these 20 minutes
00:15:55.980 when a nuclear warhead, probably a dozen,
00:16:01.960 are headed towards—
00:16:02.740 I think it was—
00:16:03.840 Was it Chicago?
00:16:05.200 I think they were targeting.
00:16:06.660 A big city.
00:16:07.840 That metro's got like 9 million people.
00:16:10.520 What would you do?
00:16:11.940 The question is,
00:16:13.300 what are the U.S.'s defenses against ballistic missile strikes?
00:16:17.640 Now, many people believe it would never happen.
00:16:19.800 There would be no strike on U.S. soil
00:16:21.320 because it would take so long to do.
00:16:23.880 We're going to knock that thing out of the sky by any means necessary.
00:16:27.800 And we got warships.
00:16:29.240 We got laser cannons.
00:16:31.440 We're going to—
00:16:31.960 Have you guys seen the videos of the laser cannons we got?
00:16:34.200 They fire an infrared laser.
00:16:36.220 It superheats the object, and then it blows up.
00:16:39.020 I think the U.S. has probably got the capabilities to stop all of this.
00:16:43.200 So, sleep easy, my friends.
00:16:45.360 We have nothing to worry about.
00:16:46.640 A nuclear missile will never reach these shores,
00:16:49.460 because, I believe, we're likely going to be safe.
00:16:52.820 Except for, of course, the Iranian sleeper cells 0.94
00:16:56.300 that are being activated outside the United States.
00:16:59.020 We just had in New York two Islamic extremists
00:17:02.320 lob explosives at protesters.
00:17:06.440 The media lies to cover it up.
00:17:07.860 Mamdani says Islamophobia is a problem.
00:17:10.660 Islamic extremists threw IEDs at protesters. 0.78
00:17:16.480 That's where we're at.
00:17:17.260 We had the shooting in Austin.
00:17:19.460 Several people outside of a bar.
00:17:21.780 And this is likely all retaliation for the U.S. strike in Iran.
00:17:26.960 So, let's get back to reality.
00:17:29.220 Now, I don't know if we can actually survive a nuclear strike.
00:17:32.160 If a couple of warheads were actually launched in the United States,
00:17:34.600 we'd like to believe that we've got surface-to-air defense capabilities,
00:17:37.960 be it missiles, be it scrambling jets to shoot the rockets down.
00:17:41.180 If they're going into space before coming down,
00:17:44.300 we're in deep trouble.
00:17:45.420 And the question then is, the technique we saw, let me put it like this.
00:17:49.580 The, I believe it's called the Blue Sparrow Israeli rocket.
00:17:52.380 It went forward and then straight up into space over the Ayatollah's palace and then straight down.
00:18:00.120 How do you defend against something like that?
00:18:02.840 That's, that's the intention.
00:18:05.180 So, if we have an intercontinental ballistic missile in space,
00:18:09.820 the questions are, will we be able to knock it down?
00:18:13.400 And if they use a top-down strike, even if we can, will it just detonate over one of our cities?
00:18:20.880 Now, again, we don't know.
00:18:22.060 We don't know.
00:18:22.840 But we do have these bunkers popping up.
00:18:24.520 The question is, beyond this, what about sleeper cells?
00:18:28.920 Terror attacks in our cities.
00:18:30.820 People who entered this country illegally and are now sitting, lying in wait for the word to engage in a terror strike. 0.90
00:18:38.860 You know, the idea behind terrorism in this capacity, they want to shock the American public so that support for the war breaks.
00:18:50.000 And then the question is, how does the, how does the U.S. keep fighting when the American people say enough?
00:18:55.600 I will stress this as well.
00:18:58.180 The inverse is also possible.
00:18:59.820 So, one of the reasons I think we may not see any massive serious attack is that it could effectively be a casus belly.
00:19:05.660 If an Iranian detonates a bomb, killing hundreds of people, thousands or otherwise, the U.S. will use that as a cause for war to basically get boots on the ground in Iran.
00:19:17.480 I'll put it like this.
00:19:19.060 If an Iranian actually was responsible for the death of U.S. civilians in U.S. territory, you may actually get, not a guarantee, but you may get a lot of people, a lot of Americans, saying outright, we want the war. 0.89
00:19:31.360 And that's maybe why I am not so deeply concerned about a terror attack in the United States.
00:19:38.780 To be fair, they've already happened.
00:19:40.460 We get that.
00:19:41.660 I'm saying larger scale and more frequently.
00:19:45.520 We shall see.
00:19:46.640 Now, my friends, where things are getting really spicy, not my son over my dead body, MTG lays into Carolyn Levitt for refusing to rule out Iran war draft.
00:20:02.820 Indeed, Carolyn Levitt was on Maria Bartiromo the other day and was asked about the potential for a military draft to which she responded, Trump is not ruling anything out.
00:20:14.620 Well, my friends, that is a very, very dangerous approach, I must say.
00:20:23.460 Not ruling anything out.
00:20:25.840 Telling people that there is a possibility that it will draft Americans. 0.57
00:20:30.080 You want to lose the midterms, baby?
00:20:33.080 Now, the truth is this.
00:20:34.220 Guys, there's not going to be a draft.
00:20:35.560 There will never be a draft.
00:20:36.280 The only time you'd probably ever get legitimate conscription in the United States would be if, like, a bunch of Chinese boats rammed into California and then they started running through.
00:20:44.640 And it's like, okay, now we need people to fight back.
00:20:46.720 But the truth is, our government, our military figured out a long time ago that...

00:21:41.620 That's market economics is the easiest way to get a military. 0.58
00:21:45.900 See, the thing is, when you draft people to make them fight a war they don't want, you get Vietnam. 0.88
00:21:50.540 You get a bunch of young men who aim above the tree line and avoid shooting the bad guys because they don't want to be there in the first place.
00:21:58.180 Well, the solution, it has long been entertained that when the economy, well, first, when the economy is bad, people enlist.
00:22:05.760 It's a job, and if there's no jobs available, you got a job, and it's not a bad job, depending on what it is.
00:22:11.600 That's how they play the game.
00:22:13.060 You will get the people who will choose to go there, and then in their minds saying, I chose to be here, so I do not believe a draft is really going to be on the table.
00:22:22.740 Butteromo says mothers out there are worried that we're going to have a draft, that we're going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this.
00:22:29.260 Butteromo said, seeking assurances that nothing, and noting that this fight has solely consisted of an exchange of airstrikes so far.
00:22:37.620 It has been and will continue to be, Secretary answered.
00:22:40.720 President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table.
00:22:44.260 I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president, as commander-in-chief, wants to continue to assess the success of the military operation.
00:22:51.320 It's not part of the current plan right now, but the president, again, wisely keeps his options on the table.
00:22:57.420 The reality is, they're not calling for a draft.
00:22:59.820 A draft is extremely unlikely.
00:23:01.420 They're just not going to say, we will not do it, because then our enemies will be emboldened by it.
00:23:07.820 Reacting to a clip, Marjorie Taylor Greene says,
00:23:11.060 Carolyn Levitt doesn't rule at a draft. 1.00
00:23:12.600 How about the answer is no draft and no boots on the ground, because we campaigned on no more foreign wars or regime change.
00:23:19.520 Liars, every single one of them. 0.62
00:23:22.240 Not my son over my dead body. 0.99
00:23:24.820 In a follow-up post, the ex-Congresswoman added, 0.69
00:23:27.120 By the way, a bunch of psycho-Republicans want to not only draft your sons, but your daughters too. 0.97
00:23:33.620 Senator Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, and Laura Loomer, and all the murderous, bloodthirsty maniacs that support this America last war. 0.98
00:23:40.440 In a third post, she wrote,
00:23:41.520 They tried to add women to the draft to selective service multiple times while I was in Congress. 1.00
00:23:46.000 In fact, my friends, Republicans opposed putting women in the draft, and Democrats were for it. 1.00
00:23:57.560 Democrats were the feminists who said women can serve too. 1.00
00:24:01.280 Since leaving office in January after falling out with Donald Trump last year,
00:24:04.560 Greene has positioned herself as the true voice of the MAGA movement, etc.
00:24:09.160 I mean, whatever you want to, the politics of MTG, I'm not super interested in.
00:24:14.440 Just that her statement on this is interesting, and the question of the draft indeed. 0.97
00:24:19.800 My friends, Donald Trump is quite mad.
00:24:23.080 He is angry that Israel destroyed Iranian oil fields, causing crude to surge.
00:24:28.660 Trump wants those oil fields.
00:24:30.360 Now they're blown up.
00:24:32.320 Well, my friends, I ask other questions.
00:24:35.080 Beyond this, as we talk about the potential for World War III,
00:24:38.840 there is still a lingering question that exists in this country about a potential for civil war.
00:24:42.600 I, of course, have been of the opinion for some time that there is a high likelihood of civil war in this country,
00:24:47.840 though I don't know for sure.
00:24:49.880 There's no guarantees.
00:24:50.920 It's definitely a political civil war or a cold civil war.
00:24:54.440 But we have this from Common Dreams.
00:24:56.040 Trump is rage-baiting the U.S. into a second civil war.
00:24:59.900 In a healthy democracy, all sides generally recognize the legitimacy of the system itself,
00:25:03.480 regardless of internal squabbles.
00:25:05.080 In the U.S., this is no longer the case.
00:25:07.160 And to Ramzi Baroud, who wrote this, I ask you to only look in the mirror.
00:25:12.040 When they arrested Trump, arrested Trump's lawyers,
00:25:15.920 okay, this was well before Trump took his second term.
00:25:19.120 You want to tell me about questioning the legitimacy?
00:25:22.700 This is where we're at.
00:25:23.800 And right now, they've been arguing that the election was stolen in 2024,
00:25:27.680 and just, it's laughably absurd.
00:25:30.200 The Democrats are now complaining that the election's rigged, and other elections are rigged.
00:25:37.120 Yeah.
00:25:38.280 Because neither side believes the other side is legitimate.
00:25:43.460 Now, the big news from over the weekend was an Islamic terror attack in New York,
00:25:49.640 targeting a protest opposed to Islam.
00:25:52.680 This was led by a man named Jake Lang.
00:25:55.740 Now, whatever you think about this man and his opinions isn't the point.
00:25:58.020 The point is, Islamic jihadi extremists threw improvised explosive devices at the protesters.
00:26:04.940 And the media has framed it over and over again,
00:26:08.500 as though what actually happened is that they threw explosives near Mamdani's house.
00:26:17.760 Or that, let me put it like this.
00:26:21.040 All of the stories are framed to make it sound like it was the victims who were, in fact, the perpetrators.
00:26:27.400 What is, what is Darvo?
00:26:29.980 Deny something, reverse victim and offender?
00:26:32.560 I don't know.
00:26:32.820 The point is, you had protesters outside of Mamdani's house.
00:26:37.520 Islamic extremists lobbed explosives.
00:26:39.960 And then what did Mamdani say?
00:26:42.140 He says, a white supremacist, Jake Lang, protested.
00:26:44.860 What happened next was worse.
00:26:46.760 Someone, he said, political violence is wrong and an explosive was thrown.
00:26:51.300 To anybody who didn't know the news, it would sound like a white supremacist showed up
00:26:55.620 and threw an explosive.
00:26:58.120 NBC News wrote that suspicious devices were found near his home.
00:27:02.820 Again, making it sound like Islam protesters showed up and planted devices.
00:27:10.040 In fact, the truth is, protesters were marching peacefully and then Islamic extremists threw explosive devices.
00:27:18.960 Mamdani responded by condemning Islamophobia.
00:27:22.360 This all ties together, my friends.
00:27:25.640 So let me wrap it up with a neat little bow before we carry on.
00:27:29.320 We have an internal conflict in this country where our media lies to us.
00:27:32.220 They've lied to us for quite some time.
00:27:33.900 That's pretty obvious.
00:27:34.620 But they accused Trump of rage baiting us into a second civil war when, in fact, my friends, it is the corporate establishment media that is doing that.
00:27:43.940 It is Mayor Mamdani that is doing that.
00:27:46.520 By all means, if you don't like Jake Lang, you can say, I do not respect the anti-Islam protests led by Jake Lang.
00:27:57.120 It is hateful or otherwise.
00:27:57.920 Have that opinion. 0.93
00:27:58.440 And then you can say, however, Islamic extremists attacked these men and that is evil. 0.61
00:28:05.780 You're allowed to have opinions, but we have to agree on the facts.
00:28:09.520 And where we're at right now is that Donald Trump won a popular vote.
00:28:14.860 Part of his mandate was deportation of illegal immigrants.
00:28:18.520 Zoran Mamdani explicitly campaigned on protecting illegal immigrants from the American voter.
00:28:23.880 The American voter spoke.
00:28:27.220 Trump listened.
00:28:28.380 They voted this man in.
00:28:29.760 They said deport illegal immigrants.
00:28:32.360 And Mamdani said, we will protect the illegal immigrants from you, the American voter. 0.67
00:28:38.320 That does not represent America. 0.51
00:28:41.040 And so we have internal struggles right now.
00:28:44.800 We fear terror strikes.
00:28:46.940 And we have a complete political bifurcation.
00:28:50.360 If World War III were to truly break out,
00:28:52.720 our adversaries would start funding whichever side was willing to take the money and the weapons.
00:28:58.560 And I'd imagine many of these progressives would take them in two seconds.
00:29:02.760 So my friends, I'm going to wrap this one up.
00:29:05.460 Smash the like button.
