00:00:00.060 As the US war in Iran rages on, psyops, propaganda, and manipulation is abound.
00:00:07.440 And there have been rumors going around for some time that Mojtaba Khomeini, the new supreme
00:00:11.600 leader, is in fact dead.
00:00:13.560 We haven't seen him.
00:00:14.840 We don't exactly know what's going on.
00:00:16.700 He may have lost his leg.
00:00:18.080 Some reports have come out saying he's flown to Moscow for emergency surgery amid new reports
00:00:23.900 that Iran has stated definitively they are receiving support from Russia and China in
00:00:29.880 this war. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed and oil per barrel. It is going way up in price,
00:00:37.280 gas prices expected to climb. But my friends, in what may be one of the most ridiculous
00:00:43.920 and hilarious bits of war propaganda, apparently Moshe Taba Khamenei is alive and a homosexual.
00:00:54.120 That's it. He likes guys. He is into guys. Now, apparently when Trump and his administration
00:01:01.480 found out this Intel report, they all started busting out laughing. Apparently Trump couldn't
00:01:07.640 stop laughing and one staffer just wouldn't stop. That's how funny they thought this was.
00:01:13.680 I got to be honest. I think this is probably just a psyop. Like a psychological operation
00:01:19.140 isn't always some grand conspiracy. This is PR. This is a stunt. This is besmirched the
00:01:23.700 name of Khomeini, but I mean, maybe he's gay. The reporting suggests that Ali Khomeini, the now
00:01:31.220 dead former Supreme Leader, didn't think that his son could effectively run things. And so he didn't
00:01:37.700 want to hand it over to him, partly because he was a homosexual. And in Iran, that's a no-no
00:01:43.640 for a variety of reasons with really horrifying results. So perhaps the effort here in this
00:01:51.920 reporting, it's not so much about confirming that the new Supreme Leader is a gay man,
00:01:59.880 but to damage his reputation among potential allies in the region because they really don't
00:02:05.220 like homosexuality. Or it's just to make Americans on the right laugh at him and to,
00:02:12.680 in a sense, poison the well. Not that anyone's got great respect for Mushtaba Khamenei anyway,
00:02:18.740 but my friends, it's looking like whatever this may be, the war is kicking up. It is going to
00:02:24.940 continue. Gas prices will be affected. And it depends on who you ask. But the pro-MAGA,
00:02:30.960 for the most part, I mean, guys, Republicans generally support these efforts by Donald Trump,
00:02:36.040 largely in all the polls we've tracked. Democrats oppose it. However, independent voters,
00:02:42.640 Moderates largely oppose this as well, which is bad, bad news for Trump as he needs a coalition
00:02:48.840 going into these midterms to win. I don't see how they're going to win it back.
00:02:54.020 But at the bare minimum, I can talk to you about what's currently going on in this world
00:02:57.760 and whether or not this man is gay. And I guess whether or not it matters.
00:03:03.940 The truth is, this is just a kicking off for the big story.
00:03:06.920 What is currently going on? Who's the new Supreme Leader? Is he alive? And will this war end?
00:03:10.760 And what does it mean for us? My friends, the data shows it. Young people do not support
00:03:17.520 Israel. They just don't. Not even right-leaning and Republican Gen Z, they do not support Israel.
00:03:25.840 I believe we're going to see a big media shift. Things are going to change.
00:03:29.260 And we're going to go back to the, I don't know, it's like what, 70 years of Americans just waving
00:03:33.960 American flags and Israeli flags. I believe that era is coming back.
00:03:39.020 And I think largely what we're seeing is a battle for the mind of the American people.
00:03:43.240 Your average American does not care about Israel at all. Those who are used to the liberal economic
00:03:50.040 order, petrodollar conflict, boomers, largely, they love Israel. And I genuinely believe this.
00:03:57.200 While there certainly are many well-learned individuals deeply critical of Israel, which I
00:04:02.320 always say absolutely allowed. And I have respect for tremendous, for many people who are very
00:04:06.760 critical of Israel. I do believe for a lot of the younger generation, their disdain for Israel,
00:04:12.300 their views are largely built upon social media machines. And as soon as the powers that be
00:04:18.060 reclaim those machines, the narrative indeed will change. Notably, the capture of TikTok.
00:04:23.800 I'm sorry, the purchase of TikTok, the shifting of CBS. I think these things are fairly obvious
00:04:29.220 that we're going to see a machine that says Israel good. Now, whether or not, look, I always say this,
00:04:35.260 I'm ambivalent. I understand U.S. military operations in the Middle East, why the United
00:04:40.480 States supports Israel. But man, are there a lot of people who believe the craziest things about
00:04:45.260 Israel. Like they're the center of the universe and the boogeyman controlling everything.
00:04:49.500 Guys, calm down. Just read the news, assess, but let's break this all down so I stop rambling.
00:04:57.180 Before we get into the news about whether or not the new Supreme Leader is a homosexual,
00:05:00.880 head over to timcast.com and join our discord community. Guys, there are tens of thousands
00:05:07.000 of people hanging out every day. They're sharing ideas. They're starting new projects. Community
00:05:12.360 is our strength, not diversity. When we come together and share ideas and build upon them,
00:05:19.220 that's how we do great things. It's how we build rocket ships and satellites. It's how we build
00:05:25.220 cars that can go so fast, they break record over and over and over again. And our community may not
00:05:31.200 be the biggest, most powerful, but together we can share ideas, help reshape this country for
00:05:36.220 the better, create a new culture. But it's only going to happen if you guys sign up, join, and
00:05:42.600 support the work that we do and get involved. Check that out at timcast.com. But let's get
00:05:47.580 back to the news. Don't forget to also smash the like button, share this video everywhere. If you
00:05:52.720 could, if you could do that, it'd be tremendously helpful. As if everybody who watched shared this
00:05:57.540 video, it would be the number one video in the country. Look, I got like 200,000 views. Imagine
00:06:02.200 if 200,000 shares be massive. The New York Post says Trump briefed that Iran's new Supreme Leader
00:06:08.020 Mushtaba Khamenei is probably gay and the president has a priceless reaction. President Trump was
00:06:13.740 stunned to learn last week that the US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mushtaba
00:06:17.260 Khamenei may be gay. And then his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei feared his suitability
00:06:22.060 to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason. Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed
00:06:29.060 out loud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources. Others in the room also
00:06:33.980 found it hilarious and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official
00:06:39.680 has not stopped laughing about it for a day. What is even going on at this point, guys?
00:06:48.600 Here's a picture of Mojtava Khamenei, who they say may be gay.
00:06:53.200 Okay.
00:06:54.240 The shocking claim was described to the post by two intelligence community officials and
00:06:58.720 a third person close to the White House.
00:07:00.240 All three sources say the implausible sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy
00:07:05.360 agencies rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, who was selected to
00:07:10.960 replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8th.
00:07:13.700 Two of the sources said the intelligence indicates that Mushtaba, who earned the nickname
00:07:18.340 the power behind the robes while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term
00:07:25.700 sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.
00:07:28.400 Wait, what?
00:07:29.620 So like pedophilic gay stuff?
00:07:32.020 The third source said the world really is run by pedophiles.
00:07:35.840 The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly
00:07:39.440 worked for the Khamenei family.
00:07:41.240 Mushtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the February 20th airstrike that killed his father,
00:07:45.460 has made aggressive sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of
00:07:50.540 medication, one of the Post sources said. U.S. spy agencies do not have photographic evidence
00:07:56.560 of Mushtaba Khomeini's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insist the tip is solid,
00:08:01.800 with one saying it was derived from one of the most protected sources the government has.
00:08:06.620 I just, it's just the most ridiculous war propaganda meant like guys, this guy might
00:08:12.480 be dead. They, no one's seen him since some reports that he's in a coma. His leg got blown
00:08:17.640 off. They, Trump has said, we don't even know if he's alive. He may actually be dead. And they're
00:08:22.380 sitting here running a story claiming that he might be gay guys. He might be dead. The fact
00:08:28.340 that this was elevated to the highest, highest of levels shows you there's some confidence in this
00:08:32.800 Mushtaba's purported sexual orientation has been whispered about inside Iran since at least May
00:08:37.480 2024, since the crash that killed then President Ebrahim Raisi. Ali Khamenei's presumed favorite
00:08:45.000 to be the next supreme leader, sources said. When the US government has been pretty closely
00:08:48.840 held piece of information. Trump previously dismissed Mushtaba Khamenei as a lightweight
00:08:52.960 and an unacceptable choice to run Iran. The new supreme leader is widely considered to be someone
00:08:57.680 who would not bend to US demands to abandon the nuclear and ballistic missile programs that
00:09:02.060 prompted Operation Epic Fury. Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei's sex life have been reported
00:09:06.820 before and may lead credence to the allegation. A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008
00:09:13.140 published by WikiLeaks described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence,
00:09:17.440 though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition.
00:09:21.900 The State Department file says Mojtaba married relatively late in life, around age 30,
00:09:26.740 reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended
00:09:30.720 visits to the UK and Wellington and Cromwell hospitals. Mishtaba was expected by his family
00:09:35.080 to produce children quickly but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment. After a
00:09:39.420 stay of two months, his wife became pregnant. Mishtaba's wife Zahra and teenage son Mohamed
00:09:44.400 Bagher reportedly died in the airstrike that killed his father. Wow. The new supreme leader
00:09:50.040 has another son and daughter. The allegation of homosexuality was alluded to in a CBS news report
00:09:55.520 on Sunday that said the elder Khomeini who had ruled Iran since 1989 preferred a different
00:10:00.520 successor in part because of unspecified issues in Mushtaba's personal life. His father and others
00:10:06.060 suspected he was gay, and that was something that people were spreading to try to stop his
00:10:10.420 ascension. Oh my God. Okay, they say, you know, I know a lot of people are already commenting
00:10:15.660 homosexual. I'm saying like that on purpose because I think it's funny. Homosexual conduct
00:10:19.780 is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations,
00:10:25.060 which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties.
00:10:29.920 Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people,
00:10:32.640 with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others.
00:10:38.660 In Iran, we don't have homosexuals. Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
00:10:43.040 who was believed to be an ally of the Iraq committee, claimed in 07.
00:10:46.100 One of the Post's sources said that although it is generally frowned upon to out people against
00:10:51.320 their will, there's a clear case of hypocrisy to justify doing so against Mushtaba. If there was
00:10:56.320 ever a time where it was okay to out somebody, it would be when it's a leader of a repressive
00:11:00.500 Islamic theocracy that hangs gay people by cranes. Mushtaba Khamenei's current whereabouts
00:11:05.720 and the status of his recovery remain murky. Well, my friends, not so murky. We have this
00:11:10.440 story from Hindustan Times. Hearing Mojtaba Khamenei is not alive. Trump shares chilling
00:11:16.420 claim on Iran's supreme leader amid war. Now, let me just tell you this, my friends,
00:11:21.260 saying the man may be dead is a bold claim that's hard to verify. And death is a factor of war.
00:11:28.800 It's not embarrassing. It's just a question of whether the country will persist.
00:11:32.820 But claiming that he's gay can strip him of any support he might have in his country,
00:11:37.300 whether he's dead or alive. Donald Trump provided insight into Iran's Supreme Leader's
00:11:42.100 Mushtaba Khomeini status. I believe it's pronounced Mojtaba, but you know, who am I?
00:11:46.740 I'm just an American guy. Trump was speaking to NBC News. He said, quote, I don't know if he's
00:11:52.080 even alive. So far, nobody's been able to show him. While Trump called news of his death a rumor,
00:11:57.840 the voters continued, I'm hearing he's not alive. And if he is, he should do something very,
00:12:01.520 very smart for his country, and that is surrender. The Telegraph reports Mushtaba Khomeini has called
00:12:06.500 for Iranian unity, but he may not be alive. A rallying call to the people, albeit in a written
00:12:13.060 statement, has done little to alleviate rumors that he's dead. Four days after being selected
00:12:17.660 as Iran's supreme leader and nearly two weeks into the war that killed his immediate family,
00:12:21.600 Mustafa released his first statement. It was on a speech. It was on a video address. It was a
00:12:25.160 written message read aloud by a state television news anchor. The message warned the U.S. to close
00:12:29.940 its Gulf bases immediately, where the host countries would face further attacks. The
00:12:34.660 Strait of Hormuz should remain blocked, and there would be revenge for every Iranian killed by U.S.
00:12:40.040 Israeli bombs, including special retribution for the children killed at the girls' school in Minab,
00:12:46.340 probably because of a U.S. Tomahawk missile. Well, my friends, The Sun reports the same thing.
00:12:52.460 Dead or alive, Iran's injured new leader flown to Moscow for a leg surgery after Putin personally
00:12:57.140 offered to help as death rumors swirl. Indeed. Iran's new Supreme Leader,
00:13:03.320 is a no-show at his own succession rally, the charisma of a boiled potato. His own succession,
00:13:11.080 he wasn't there. Guys, I think he's dead. I don't think this man is actually alive.
00:13:16.660 Now, where we go as a country, things will be interesting. The US is divided on the war and
00:13:21.540 Iran, but the questions I know that many of you ask is, how will this affect me? And well,
00:13:25.820 let's just roll, baby. From the New York Post, gas prices reach highest level since October 2023
00:13:31.640 as oil holds above $100 per barrel, US stocks jump. Now, Trump has made a series of comments
00:13:38.940 over the past couple of weeks that have really angered his coalition. That is, he said glyphosate
00:13:43.980 is great and we love it. And Maha just went, and then he said, high gas prices are good because it
00:13:50.300 means we're going to make a lot of money because we produce so much of it. High oil prices, I should
00:13:54.580 say. Well, gas prices are starting to spike. And this is not good for the American people because
00:13:59.340 they need gas to do their jobs, to get to their jobs, to deliver things, to receive things.
00:14:03.580 And when gas goes up, everything goes up. There's a great scene in Landman where Billy Bob Thornton
00:14:10.260 talks about the price of oil being perfect at around $77, $80 a barrel. The reason being is
00:14:15.840 that you can make a good profit, but when it goes up, the price of everything else goes up,
00:14:20.480 which constrains the market and is bad for the economy in general. So there's a sweet spot.
00:14:24.840 They try to keep oil at a certain level.
00:14:27.040 What that really means, my friends, is the price of a barrel of crude is actually tied
00:14:32.780 to the amount of, I would say, low-skilled labor.
00:14:36.700 Oil is what backs the dollar, not gold.
00:14:39.680 So when he says it's a sweet spot in the cost of oil, what he's really saying is oil compared
00:14:44.720 to the amount someone would receive for doing the lowest tier of work.
00:14:49.360 What that means, really?
00:14:51.320 Right now, we're in a tough spot.
00:14:53.660 Minimum wage doesn't pay the bills.
00:14:55.280 So people struggle to get by.
00:14:56.760 They're not having families.
00:14:57.560 They're not buying homes.
00:14:58.320 And this is a problem.
00:15:00.000 Things need to be more affordable, which means we do need cheaper energy.
00:15:04.320 Now, as for the Landman quote, they're talking about the record profits they would make while
00:15:07.320 the machine stays stable.
00:15:08.700 In fact, cheaper energy would be a lot better because it would mean people would have to
00:15:12.600 work less and they would receive more.
00:15:15.000 And we desperately need that if we want people to be able to buy homes and have families.
00:15:19.900 And right now, it is not something that is so easily done.
00:15:22.960 In the meantime, the challenge we face as gas prices go up, that doesn't seem to be an end in
00:15:28.680 sight. While it's true, most Americans do not want this war. Republicans largely are in support of
00:15:34.500 it. One thing is true is that even among Republicans that do support it, they're skeptical
00:15:38.120 and they're worried, but they want Trump to succeed. Many Trump supporters are diehard in
00:15:42.720 favor of it. Many Republicans say, well, I don't like it, but we got to win this one.
00:15:47.480 We got to see it through. We can't half-ass this. And that makes a lot of sense. Me,
00:15:51.880 I would say this. I didn't vote for it. I don't want it. I don't think it's going to work out all
00:15:55.880 that well. It is possible that it can. And because Trump has largely succeeded with Venezuela,
00:16:00.920 I got to say, I'm not going to be blinded by what we refer to as post-intervention
00:16:05.700 stress disorder, or pissed, as Ian pointed out. From the Gulf Wars we've had throughout our
00:16:12.300 lifetime, little success, little success. In which case, many of us, the millennials and
00:16:18.740 the younger generation do not want this because we have only seen bad things. But that doesn't
00:16:24.980 mean that every instance of military strike or intervention is going to be bad. What we know is
00:16:29.380 that Iran has been arming Houthi rebels. They've been attacking civilian vessels in the Red Sea,
00:16:33.860 disrupting global trade. We know they've been arming Iraqi militias in the Gulf region,
00:16:39.040 and it's been causing tremendous problems for us and our bases and ability to stabilize trade in
00:16:43.780 the region. They have threatened, and then they did shut down the Strait of Hormuz, for which
00:16:48.620 20% of global gas and oil traverses. They have allegedly mined it now because some ships were
00:16:56.540 risking it and just trying to go through. We have seen several ships bombed and destroyed
00:17:00.860 trying to make this journey. I do not believe one nation, Iran, should have the right to disrupt
00:17:08.440 20% of the world's free and fair oil exchanges. But don't get me wrong. You want to make arguments
00:17:16.620 with the petrodollar system being bad, whatever, whatever you want to say. My point is this.
00:17:20.700 There is stability to a certain degree with oil trade. Iran threatens that every day.
00:17:26.780 This is why the U.S. doesn't like Iran and they want regime change. The reason why Israel doesn't
00:17:32.180 like Iran is because Iran funds Hezbollah and Hamas who are trying to destroy Israel and Iran
00:17:37.020 wants to destroy Israel. Now, Israel has its motivations. Being a functional military base
00:17:42.320 for the United States, the U.S. largely aligns with what Israel wants because it wants Israel
00:17:46.120 to do things. Israel that asserts pressure on the United States because Israel wants the U.S.
00:17:50.340 to do things. This war seems to have been started because Israel was planning on striking Iran,
00:17:56.140 and I believe they knew full well the U.S. would have no choice but to join them in these strikes.
00:18:00.840 Marco Rubio said that if they did not join Israel, that they would be maintaining a defensive posture
00:18:05.920 for which Iran would strike U.S. targets, killing U.S. personnel. And in order to prevent maximum
00:18:11.960 damage, they had to join in the attack. Everybody understood what that meant. Israel said, we're
00:18:17.400 going to do it with or without you, but we know it puts you in a bind. So the U.S. had no choice.
00:18:21.340 And because we're aligned with Israel, our hand was forced. Now, many people have argued, no,
00:18:26.520 no. Rubio went on to say that we did intend and believe it necessary to strike Iran, just not yet.
00:18:32.280 Well, that may be either way.
00:18:34.260 The point is this, whether we were planning on starting the war or not, Israel was the
00:18:38.820 was the starting gun that forced us in at this time.
00:18:42.520 And I think that's unacceptable.
00:18:43.740 And I think many Americans are going to be pissed about it.
00:18:46.320 However, the people that are claiming that we are only doing this for the ideology of
00:18:51.360 Israel and messianic air and all this other stuff, it's just like, guys, please pay attention,
00:18:55.900 please.
00:18:57.760 This Israel derangement syndrome stuff.
00:18:59.780 Listen, there's real reasons to criticize Israel.
00:19:02.380 Always has been.
00:19:03.360 They're a country.
00:19:04.220 There's reasons to criticize almost every single country all the time, and some are
00:19:07.020 worse than others.
00:19:08.360 The U.S. involvement here is for gas.
00:19:11.500 You think Trump cares about Israel's ideology?
00:19:15.540 Trump wants cheap gas.
00:19:17.260 He wants to lower inflation.
00:19:19.300 He's trying to get a new Fed chair.
00:19:22.020 He wants oil to flow so prices can come down, and Iran threatens that.
00:19:27.640 Now, again, as I pointed out, Israel pushed our, forced our hand, pressured us to begin this
00:19:32.980 conflict, but Trump very much is, is, is happy to do it. I got to be honest, probably saying
00:19:37.240 we bomb them now, short-term pain, long-term game gain. And that is the narrative that has
00:19:41.900 been released throughout the corporate press, short-term pain, long-term gain. You've heard
00:19:46.660 it on CNN and Fox news. Now here's the problem from United 24. Iran officially confirms military
00:19:54.560 support from Russia and China in war against the US. This could prolong the conflict. And that is
00:20:02.320 the challenge. Because if this does not resolve soon, it's going to get bad. And this is a midterm
00:20:08.720 year. So it was a very bad play on Trump's part, in my opinion, to make this move. Now, Iran's
00:20:15.180 strategy has been total war and no surrender. Why? Iran views this as an existential crisis.
00:20:22.040 If they do not win, they cease to exist or at least the current form of their government and
00:20:27.600 culture. They also know that Donald Trump is in a political year and he cannot sustain this
00:20:34.160 conflict for political reasons. And that is just so sad and disgusting. It is bad. Not that I like
00:20:40.520 the war guys. I don't, but I'm not so like I put it like this. Trump really succeeded in Venezuela
00:20:46.860 and Venezuela's issue, this was justice. They stole U.S. oil assets that we had a treaty on.
00:20:53.160 We shook hands with these people. We spent tens of billions of dollars on oil infrastructure,
00:20:58.440 and then Chavez stole it from us. And we did nothing until Trump came in and said,
00:21:02.880 no more. And cutting off Cuba in the process, who also has been adversarial.
00:21:09.500 Now, with the issue with Iran, my friends, they know that Trump's in a political year.
00:21:14.420 If he can't get this solved quickly, it's going to cost him the midterms.
00:21:18.940 And their bet is that after the midterms, Trump will be handcuffed.
00:21:22.640 So they only need to sustain this conflict for what?
00:21:27.600 Eight more months.
00:21:29.320 That's it.
00:21:30.560 And then Trump's going to be in trouble.
00:21:32.880 Now, to be fair, January 3rd, when the new Congress comes in, they're going to lock Trump
00:21:35.960 up.
00:21:36.840 And that's what they're betting on.
00:21:39.260 My friends, the challenge we face in the end is that these failures have resulted in a
00:21:43.980 millennial generation and Gen Z that say enough. And I'm going to throw it to our friend Marjorie
00:21:49.340 Taylor Greene to break down for you her perspective on this one. And I'll add to this, not entirely
00:21:54.540 in agreement, but let's listen to what she has to say. Obviously, there are a lot of Trump supporters
00:21:58.140 where you are. Are you hearing from them that they believe President Trump is doing this on
00:22:02.820 behalf of Israel? Bring us there. It's actually very split and it's split along generational
00:22:11.340 lines. Many of the older Americans from the baby boomer generation that watch Fox News all day long
00:22:19.800 very much believe the talking points on Fox News. And they've spent decades of their lives
00:22:27.060 convinced that fighting these wars is the right thing to do. But the younger generations, I'm Gen
00:22:33.040 X, millennials and Gen Z are very much against this war. And so when you talk to people on the
00:22:40.340 ground um that's how that's how it comes across it's very generational and the younger generations
00:22:45.980 are are completely against it we want we want world peace we want good trade we want great we
00:22:53.020 want a great economy um we want to lower inflation lower the cost of housing and younger generations
00:22:58.900 want to be able to afford their american lives and they don't want their taxpayer dollars
00:23:03.920 shipped off to and you can fill in any foreign country we'll take israel out of it they don't
00:23:09.540 want their money sent overseas. And you know what? They're right for saying this. This is
00:23:15.080 absolutely absurd. And it's 100% a betrayal to what MAGA was supposed to be when we voted it.
00:23:24.000 Now, I largely agree. And I think what we can see here from support for Israel and
00:23:28.520 Palestine is that the younger generation very much is not in support of Israel.
00:23:33.820 And the data we've seen from Pew is that among all demographics, it's about 54%
00:23:38.420 negative towards Israel. I believe this will change. I believe that it's a large component
00:23:43.400 among the generation of social media, but the narrative machine is coming back. It doesn't
00:23:47.740 matter that I say this today. It doesn't matter what I end up saying tomorrow. The truth is
00:23:51.320 the powers that be have begun to buy up the media and they're going to shape those narratives.
00:23:55.120 At the same time, artificial intelligent content is flooding social media and making it
00:23:59.000 much, much more difficult for independent personalities to stay afloat. You need to
00:24:04.100 maintain a certain threshold of money. These big corporations just don't because they control
00:24:07.960 massive IP movies. They can subsidize the news and they will, excuse me, and they have like,
00:24:13.600 look at CNN. So what's going to happen? We know that the machine supports Israel. We know the
00:24:19.440 politicians almost exclusively support Israel. I mean, even Donald Trump, he's the outsider,
00:24:24.420 right? Well, when the powers that be get ahold of these narrative machines on social media,
00:24:29.260 which they have, it's going to flip. You are going to see less and less sympathy for the
00:24:33.800 enemies of the United States and Israel and more and more support. But I'm going to tell you, my
00:24:37.080 guys. I'm going to tell you guys, my guys, it is not about Israel controlling the United States.
00:24:44.480 It is about the United States wanting to control all international waterways,
00:24:49.520 the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Northwest Passage. Israel gets us to that end.
00:24:54.920 Of course, Israel benefits for their ideological reasons. They want their country. They want to
00:24:59.800 get rid of, you know, I think it's fair to say they don't want a Palestine. They're slowly taking
00:25:04.320 the West Bank and Gaza, it will all assimilate sooner or later. But the US's interest is
00:25:10.480 military control in the region for the Suez and Iran disrupts that.
00:25:16.000 This country, as Marjorie Taylor Greene points out, is a young generation that just wants to
00:25:19.820 survive. Trump wants cheap gas, so he wants to embolden the petrodollar system. He wants
00:25:25.080 Saudi Arabia back on that system. He wants Iran to fall in line or GTFO. And that's where we're
00:25:31.420 headed. So call it what you want. Short-term pain, long-term gain is what they've been saying
00:25:36.900 in the media. But it's true. The only question is the morality of it. Is it right for us to force
00:25:43.660 other countries to bend to our will so we can maintain this system? I'm not going to tell you
00:25:48.700 what you should or shouldn't believe, what is moral or is not. Certainly, I can see the benefits
00:25:52.980 of the petrodollar system. We live like kings in America, and we do substantially less work than
00:25:57.200 most other countries for what we get. And what we do is police the oceans to make sure that the
00:26:03.200 trade is happening. Iran defies that system. So does Russia and China. And so Trump has said,
00:26:08.660 we're going to fight about it. Trump's strategy with Russia, however, he said, look, you're
00:26:15.000 Christians, you're Western, you're European, you're not entirely Eastern. You should be with us.
00:26:19.720 And he has been negotiating with Putin to get these deals. The Western powers, the UN, et cetera,
00:26:24.860 they did not NATO. They did not like Russia. They did not trust Vladimir Putin. Putin saw himself
00:26:29.640 as he wants a unipolar Soviet world. He wants the Soviet Union back. He's building the Russian
00:26:35.300 Trade Federation. And so they said, you're at odds with our command structure and we don't
00:26:38.860 want to bring you in because you'll take over. So they kicked him out. Trump says, don't know,
00:26:43.660 don't care. Bring them back in. We want people in our system, not out of it. This is what it
00:26:48.460 seems to be. This is what seems to be the direction that we're going. Younger Americans have a more
00:26:53.140 favorable opinion of the Palestinian people than the Israeli people. And what's interesting about
00:26:57.680 this data is that it's largely predicated upon the October 7th attacks. Following this,
00:27:04.600 we saw a massive burst of support for Israel, but then it flipped. And it flipped in a really
00:27:10.860 interesting and obvious way. On TikTok, the amount of mentions of pro-Israel content were massive.
00:27:16.960 Seemingly over one weekend, it inverted. That is indicative of an algorithmic change.
00:27:22.520 The presumption was that the owners of TikTok suppressed pro-Israeli content and pumped pro-Palestine content.
00:27:31.000 Young people wanting to fit in and join the trends began to pump out pro-Palestine content.
00:27:38.100 Now I say this, guys, there are going to be a lot of people who just refuse to believe it.
00:27:42.400 I'm not here to lie to you or blow smoke up your asses, okay?
00:27:44.960 This is what actually happened.
00:27:46.760 You can be critical of Israel.
00:27:48.300 That's fine.
00:27:48.840 You can be critical of the Palestinians or Hamas specifically.
00:27:52.580 That's fine, too.
00:27:53.460 You can before the war got the war.
00:27:54.580 I'm not telling you not to.
00:27:55.560 But understand this.
00:27:56.780 What I'm saying is the most likely outcome.
00:28:02.720 Understanding Republicans wanted to ban TikTok because it was pro-Democrat.
00:28:07.680 Democrats said no.
00:28:09.560 Then when we saw this data from Axios showing this inversion that was opposed to Israel,
00:28:14.240 all of a sudden Democrats and Republicans got on board with banning TikTok.
00:28:18.740 Trump came out and was like, no, no, we don't want to do this.
00:28:22.060 And then it was purchased.
00:28:24.380 And now people are reporting that TikTok is banning anti-Israel content.
00:28:29.940 Doesn't it make it all fairly obvious to you?
00:28:32.040 And people go, Tim's admitting it was Israel.
00:28:34.700 Yeah, Democrats got calls from their donors who said TikTok is anti-Israel and they're
00:28:39.820 doing it on purpose.
00:28:41.220 Shut her down.
00:28:42.440 Trump, he said banning it won't solve the problem.
00:28:45.240 It's actually fairly.
00:28:46.120 Look, I said this.
00:28:47.240 They passed the law. Biden signed it. It's banned. Trump shouldn't be allowed to just
00:28:50.620 stop it. To be fair, the smarter play for control is what Trump did. Sell it to an American interest.
00:28:57.580 Get everybody on your side. You get all these prominent progressives being like,
00:29:00.600 oh my God, Trump saved TikTok. And now TikTok will be pro-Israel. And YouTube is going to be.
00:29:06.980 And all of these independent channels that are anti-Israel are going to be drowned out by AI.
00:29:11.520 And everybody else will be purchased by big networks because we're already starting to see it.
00:29:16.200 The big networks are going to purchase the people who are not anti-Israel.
00:29:20.060 I say purchase, but I should say invest in or acquire, sign deals with, and then you're
00:29:25.860 going to see the big networks are going to host prominent podcasts, and they will get
00:29:30.120 tens of millions of views.
00:29:31.740 Why?
00:29:32.580 Well, because on social media, it'll be noise.
00:29:35.460 It'll be thumbing through the one minute clip, snippets, snippets, snippets, where people
00:29:39.940 will spend most of their time.
00:29:40.840 But in terms of actual thought leadership, it's going to be the big networks, and they're
00:29:45.440 not going to be hiring on these Israel posters and Kirk posters. So I tell you this, I can't
00:29:51.380 predict the future, my friends, but I tend to, I do get some things right sometimes. And I believe
00:29:56.600 I'm correct about this just based on watching all of these trends. As to whether or not Moshtaba
00:30:00.300 is a homosexual, that I don't really think matters. It's just funny. And the story was funny,
00:30:04.940 despite how horrifying all the war stuff is. Smash the like button, my friends. Share the show with
