00:00:00 this episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors paleo valley knickknack and i trust
00:00:13 capital to our steadfast partner israel your mission is being executed with unmatched skill
00:00:21 and iron determination fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a capable ally is a true
00:00:28 force multiplier. Because the Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for
00:00:33 them to hit us first after they were attacked, and by someone else, Israel attacked them, they hit us
00:00:37 first, and we waited for them to hit us, we would suffer more casualties and more deaths. We went
00:00:42 proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage. Secretary of State
00:00:47 Marco Rubio was talking about the motivations for this war. He said Israel was plating attacks that
00:00:51 could lead to reprisals on American troops, so the U.S. had to get involved militarily. He since
00:00:56 walked that back a bit. But what does that say to you about the relationship between the U.S.
00:01:00 and Israel and the influence that the U.S. has over Israeli policy?
00:01:05 Look, you know, this has been a long story when it comes to Iran. And back during the Obama
00:01:12 administration, the Israelis were pushing President Obama to take military action against
00:01:18 Iran and were warning that they would do it themselves. We're so back, patriots in control, 0.65
00:01:25 plan trusters vindicated once again. Donald Trump is in the Oval Office and he's coming through on
00:01:31 every single one of his promises. You voted for mass deportations and you're gonna get
00:01:36 mass deployments to the Middle East to fight another war against Muslims on behest of Israel.
00:01:44 MIGA, we are making Israel great again. Will the United States benefit from the conflict 0.83
00:01:50 in Iran. Maybe, maybe not, maybe, but I'll tell you one thing's for sure. Israel will benefit 0.61
00:01:57 exponentially more. We are clearing the board, setting the stage for Israel to grow in strength 1.00
00:02:03 as our nation continues to decline. There is a golden age. That was promised and that is happening. 0.99
00:02:10 It's just not a golden age for us. If you think that this is going to be a quick turnaround,
00:02:15 if you think that we're somehow going to benefit in the short term or even the long term,
00:02:20 then you are trusting the plan to your detriment.
00:02:24 This is not 17D chess.
00:02:26 This is a president who ultimately is functioning for a foreign country.
00:02:33 He is serving their interest. 0.59
00:02:36 He is bought and paid for, and the proof is in the pudding.
00:02:41 It is explicitly clear by this point.
00:02:45 Quit fooling yourself.
00:02:47 Come to reality.
00:02:49 This is not in our interest. We were promised no new wars, and yet our sons are going to go
00:02:55 and fight in the desert on behalf of Israel once again. Today we have Dominic Trippi coming on the
00:03:02 show. He's bringing receipts. We're going to talk about all the oil that's currently in flames and
00:03:07 what this means for the United States and the world at large. Tune in now. All right, I'm going
00:03:12 to cut straight to the chase. You can open a Moomoo account or a Robin Hood account. You can trade 0.96
00:03:16 virtually anything under the sun. And you can trade crypto, but at the end of the day, you're
00:03:20 going to have to pay the capital gains. Or you can be forward-minded, thinking towards generational
00:03:25 wealth, open up some kind of retirement account, and they'll let you purchase anything you want,
00:03:29 except for all the things that are good and that actually have increasing value, like Bitcoin.
00:03:35 Crypto is one thing. I get it. You can take it. You can leave it. Bitcoin is here to stay. I'm a
00:03:40 Bitcoin maximalist. I make no apology. I believe it's moral money. It's finite, so it beats
00:03:45 inflation, and it's aside from the fiat currency system. The question is, how do I buy Bitcoin
00:03:51 without having to pay the capital gains tax at the end of the trade? You can only do it through
00:03:56 one platform that I know of. That's iTrust Capital. And right now, you can open an account,
00:04:01 get a free $100 added to that account by going to itrustcapital.com forward slash go forward
00:04:08 slash nxrstudios. Again, that's itrustcapital.com forward slash go forward slash nxrstudios. You

00:04:38 All right, here we are.
00:05:07 it is monday 12 p.m eastern time i'm going to cut straight to the chase we have dominic trippy who
00:05:13 is joining us he's been keeping tabs on the ensuing war in iran we are fighting once again israel's
00:05:20 war the united states is doing the heavy lifting per usual it is costing the taxpayers here in the
00:05:26 u.s approximately one billion dollars per day iran has just signaled that they could keep it up for
00:05:33 six months. That's not even to mention potential allies for Iran, China being one of them. We have
00:05:39 120-something, what is it, 112 days worth of oil reserves? 125. 125 days, whereas China has
00:05:48 boasting of 200 days. I think it's actually 400? 200 days of imports. Wow. Imports. So they've got
00:05:55 us beat. They can last longer. It's not looking great. Let's go ahead and get to the facts,
00:06:00 some of the receipts dominique thanks for joining us on today's show can you lay out for us uh how
00:06:06 bad is it man first of all thanks for having me gentlemen um you know this is just tremendously
00:06:13 disappointing it's dangerous uh it's not going well and the main reason being is that of course
00:06:20 going against the military might of the united states is something that's going to be a virtual
00:06:24 impossibility for any country but the thing that the u.s didn't account for is how effective iran
00:06:30 was going to be as far as asymmetric warfare is concerned as soon as they started actually bombing
00:06:36 iran on the 28th of february iran immediately responded by hitting the gulf countries which
00:06:43 do not have the appetite and they do not have the defense capabilities to actually sustain this type
00:06:50 of situation so i think the way they've gone about it uh they have put so much pressure on
00:06:57 these gulf nations which the which the u.s is you know key allies with in hopes that these gulf
00:07:03 nations would pressure the u.s to end this conflict and that's exactly what i think we're
00:07:08 seeing right now and i just don't think the u.s expected this sort of a retaliation from
00:07:13 a nation that they viewed to be totally inferior in every way yeah yeah it does not seem like this
00:07:21 is going to be a quick turnaround yeah that's a great point too dominic i'm just thinking about
00:07:25 um you know uh the that naturally the defensive position in the case of iran is obviously a better
00:07:31 position to be in uh you know the wall street journal for example is reporting on the closure
00:07:35 of the strait of hormuz that even a weakened iran can just close the strait with drones with one-way
00:07:41 drones and with missiles because it's just so close and they can be defensive. And I think
00:07:45 their strategy is we just want to make this hurt for the U.S. We want it to hurt enough so that it
00:07:51 no longer makes sense. And you already see this sort of in the MAGA base, this swell of Americans
00:07:57 really just thinking we're fighting this war for Israel, not really on board. I mean, that was
00:08:00 already true that it was largely unpopular. But I think what Iran's play is to continue to lean 0.67
00:08:06 into that right and to continue to make it more painful as as as with respect to you know even 0.87
00:08:12 concerns about false false flag attacks with concerns about gas prices so on and so forth
00:08:17 obviously as americans the death count of americans continues to um tick up um i think uh i think iran
00:08:24 has a pretty good strategy here and um and obviously the u.s is completely caught off guard
00:08:28 by that yeah dominic can you just read you've got a punch list of a bunch of different things going
00:08:35 on. Can you can you read some of that? Yeah, absolutely. So as far as the countries that
00:08:42 Iran has struck so far, they've struck Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE. They've
00:08:50 also hit military installations in Jordan. There's been reports in Oman as well. The thing is, is
00:08:56 that, you know, it'd be one thing the U.S. expected them to hit some U.S. bases and military
00:09:01 military installations but what we've learned is there's been reports that have surfaced that
00:09:06 iran is getting targeting intelligence from russia they're getting drone components from china and
00:09:12 russia and they're hit they're hitting places where allegedly uh u.s intelligence members members of
00:09:19 massad uh specialized u.s forces they were hitting places like residential hotels in the uae and
00:09:26 bahrain where these individuals uh allegedly for the united states forces in israel were staying
00:09:32 so the level of sophistication of their intelligence their ability to impede our
00:09:38 defense capabilities consistently across these five nations uh honestly it's really been
00:09:44 extraordinary and yeah i will go through some of the places they have hit so in bahrain they have
00:09:49 hit a u.s naval support base uh over six times over the course of the last week they've actually
00:09:54 had to abandon the embassy in kuwait temporarily uh because they were repeatedly getting hit so
00:10:00 badly uh there's been a very numerous popular hotels one of the most popular is called the
00:10:06 crown plaza hotel in i believe it's called manama bahrain uh they've hit oil refineries in bahrain
00:10:12 they've hit civilian high rises in kuwait they've hit the u.s consulate they've hit um air detection
00:10:18 radars they've hit a u.s base in kuwait as well they've hit a camp that houses u.s soldiers
00:10:24 other u.s facilities communications radars they've hit a base in cutter they've hit a hotel in cutter
00:10:31 they've hit one of the most popular hotels in in the uae in dubai they've hit another air force
00:10:36 air force base in dubai but honestly the list goes on and on and again i just don't think that
00:10:43 the united states had planned for this i think the initial plan from the onset was to strike them
00:10:48 with such intensity to kill a lot of their leadership and obviously they were successful 0.51
00:10:53 by killing uh ali kimene their original ayatollah the thing is is they expected them to hit them so
00:11:01 hard that they were eventually just going to quit their intention was to cause internal uprising in
00:11:06 the country to cause a faction that was anti-regime to rise up and i think that their plan just simply
00:11:14 didn't work and now it's become somewhat of a war of attrition and again and this is something that
00:11:19 marco rubio emphasized himself you know these drones that they're using that have been so
00:11:24 effective they they fly very low they actually fly slow which you would think would would be a
00:11:29 negative but that actually for whatever reason uh our defense missiles they fly so quickly that
00:11:35 them them flying slow actually is an advantage so these intercepted these interception missiles
00:11:41 these THAAD missiles from the United States they cost anywhere from four to 15 million dollars by
00:11:47 some estimates the launchers for these THAAD missiles are actually upwards of a billion
00:11:52 dollars apiece and so Iran is uh you know nowhere near the capability of the U.S. as they may have
00:12:00 they're able to shoot these drones off 10 20 at a time all day long and the united states just
00:12:06 simply cannot afford or nor do they actually have the munitions to keep shooting these things down 0.99
00:12:12 and god forbid if we were to ever get ourselves in a situation where a china or a russia or a
00:12:18 bigger country actually did have some military standoff with the states what are we going to do
00:12:24 when we have such a low supply of these missiles
00:12:26 that the U.S. already admitted
00:12:28 that we wasted 25% of our global supply
00:12:32 in only a 12-day period last summer in the 12-day war.
00:12:36 And guys, right now we're at day 10.
00:12:38 So I think that Trump's deception, his repeated lies,
00:12:42 they're putting us in a little bit more
00:12:43 of a dangerous situation than many Americans,
00:12:46 many conservative political pundits would like to admit.
00:12:49 We're really getting into a bad territory right now.
00:12:52 This is a classic mistake when it comes to war.
00:12:55 I think of the American Civil War, the very first battle, bull run, manassas, as it's sometimes called.
00:13:00 The Union expected to win so quickly that women and children actually packed lunch to go to the battle
00:13:04 and watch the quelling of this little uprise.
00:13:07 And obviously that battle or that war lasted five years.
00:13:10 Same thing with World War I.
00:13:11 Germany thought it would be six to eight weeks. 0.87
00:13:13 They would quickly take France. 0.65
00:13:14 Russia would mobilize very slowly. 0.88
00:13:16 They'd be able to take France, and they would pivot to their eastern front. 0.78
00:13:19 Well, it took a while to capture Belgium, and Russia mobilized more quickly,
00:13:22 and they fought this two-front war for years. 0.92
00:13:24 That's classic thinking.
00:13:26 We'll get in, we'll strike fast, we'll strike hard, we'll knock it all out, we'll go home,
00:13:30 this will be over in two to three weeks.
00:13:31 But every day that this continues to go on, the likelihood of this being a seven-day war,
00:13:37 I mean, we did see like a 12-day limited war in the Middle East last year,
00:13:40 but every day that goes on makes it much more likely we're dragged into something
00:13:44 that'll last months, if not years.
00:13:46 I want to show just quickly a topographical map of Iran.
00:13:49 Look at the mountains that cover this country. 0.99
00:13:52 All Iran has to do to win is survive, disrupt, and make our allies and the United States 0.97
00:13:58 lose the will to fight. 0.99
00:14:01 They have a great, in many ways, not perfectly, a great defensible position.
00:14:05 There's no way to root out through all those mountains without long, sustained ground engagement.
00:14:11 And even then, they have the upper hand because they're playing defensively.
00:14:14 And so it appears by all means, as you were alluding to, Dominique, they were ready.
00:14:18 They had their intelligence.
00:14:19 They knew where the U.S. bases were.
00:14:21 They knew critical oil infrastructure, where that was.
00:14:24 And then when the war came, they struck it.
00:14:26 And now they've basically said, we're going to dig in.
00:14:29 We're ready for the invasion.
00:14:30 And we're going to make you expend your money, expend your missiles, expend your troops,
00:14:35 expend maybe even your nukes to get us out of here.
00:14:38 Could you tell us a little bit?
00:14:39 oil went up to i think at the peak it was uh an overnight trading 115 a barrel it's come down a
00:14:46 little bit since then how is this affecting and looking for the global economy that relies on so
00:14:50 much oil from the region so actually as it stands right now it's uh projected to be the worst energy
00:14:57 crisis since the 1970s and here's the thing um we'll we'll get to the oil here in just a moment
00:15:03 but just even for this oil facility to be to be struck you know we've talked about how this is a
00:15:08 war for israel well the united states has come out and even uh very famously at this point lindsey
00:15:13 graham himself has even come out and basically criticized the israeli government for targeting
00:15:20 this critical infrastructure specifically this large oil refinery in tehran and the thing is is
00:15:26 that this just goes to show that the united states is simply incapable of restraining israel at this 0.74
00:15:33 point because we're providing the muscle we're providing the munitions we're providing the 0.90
00:15:38 security guarantees for israel to continue to behave in this aggressive manner in the region 0.61
00:15:43 yet when we're actually in a joint operation with them they still hit targets that the united
00:15:50 states is not signing off on so as far as the way that this could uh really affect the global economy
00:15:57 it absolutely it could literally cause a complete market crash and the reason why
00:16:02 you saw the price of oil shoot to 115 a barrel and now it's hovering somewhere i believe around
00:16:08 95 the last time i checked is because all large global countries are having to release their
00:16:14 strategic global reserves in order to bring these prices artificially down it went up so fast it was
00:16:22 the largest single day rise in history and the only reason they're doing this is because they
00:16:26 realize very quickly that if market prices for oil get so high well everything including people
00:16:34 on planes and products and people or products on trucks every other item gets significantly more
00:16:41 expensive with a shocking sharp fuel rise of this nature so right now you're going to see just like
00:16:49 you would see you know financial people at a jp morgan chase or something use intricate financial
00:16:55 tools in order to ease immediate effects of whatever's going on with market conditions
00:17:00 that's what you're seeing now you're seeing people basically waste their strategic oils
00:17:04 their strategic oil reserves in order for them to artificially lower this price immediately so
00:17:11 you know those don't last for very long and if you remember joe biden famously used united states
00:17:16 strategic oil reserves when we were not really even in a conflict in order for people just to
00:17:21 say they had lower gas prices. So, you know, I think it's a it's a foolish move. I think that 0.94
00:17:26 a lot of times when you don't let market conditions play out, you end up paying in some other ways. So
00:17:31 no, I mean, we're really it's not just that this was probably a haphazard and not very smart war
00:17:38 to enter, you know, militarily speaking. But as far as the financial conditions that could come
00:17:43 about because of this, there's no telling. I mean, this is terrible, truthfully. I want to go to one
00:17:48 more aspect before we go to our first commercial break, and that is the people of Iran. We expressed
00:17:52 this when the war broke out, that we have a genuine sympathy for the people that have lived 1.00
00:17:56 under a murderous Islamic regime. We have no love for Israel in this conflict. We also have no love 0.91
00:18:01 for Iran as far as the leadership goes. This has been, since the 1979 Iranian Revolution, one of 0.99
00:18:06 the most Islamic regimes in the world. But there are a number of Christians there. We've seen the
00:18:11 proportion of Iran that's Christian growing over the last couple decades. And there's many people
00:18:16 there that have been frustrated with the leadership and want a freer country, that don't want to live
00:18:20 under the regime that they've been. But part of the fires and the strikes that have gone on,
00:18:25 this is CNN's reporter, Frederick Pletkin. He's on the ground. He's showing how basically the fires
00:18:31 and then the smoke rising to it, that what's coming down now is black rain in the area,
00:18:36 oil and smoke and soot raining back down on millions and millions of people that live in
00:18:41 these highly populated cities. And you're looking at a crisis, not just here and now in these next
00:18:46 couple of years, but as far as cancer, as far as disease, as far as autoimmune conditions,
00:18:50 the Iranian people, even those that have no part in this conflict, not fighting aged males, not men 0.79
00:18:55 chanting death to America, death to Israel, women and children and Christians, especially
00:18:59 they're caught in the crossfire of a brutal war. And this war that's going to have an impact on
00:19:04 them long term it's going to have an impact short term on their living conditions so even for them
00:19:08 it's not even beneficial so it's not beneficial for us here in the united states not beneficial
00:19:13 for the world globally economically and also for the people of iran well they're getting a new
00:19:18 leader and this leader is going to be more uh conducive to christianity and to democracy and
00:19:23 to liberal ideals oh no they're not it appears the new regime is more radical than the last regime
00:19:27 and we're also bombing them to the point where the rain coming down out of the sky is black
00:19:32 with oil and smoke fills the air. I mean, go ahead and get the air quality index out there
00:19:37 in Tehran right now. It's not going to be good. Yeah. This is just categorically different than
00:19:43 what recently took place with Venezuela. In the case of Venezuela, you had a vice president that
00:19:49 was already waiting in the wings. It was set up that we knew would be more favorable to us. And
00:19:56 of course, Israel, that's just kind of a, that's just a given at this point, you know, but we knew 0.96
00:20:00 that she would be more favorable to the U.S., that it would benefit us, that it would be this 12-hour
00:20:06 extraction, one and done, and that the conditions would immediately improve. What's happening in
00:20:13 Iran is absolutely nothing like that. We had no reassurances whatsoever. It's not like there was
00:20:20 a vice president waiting in the wings that we knew was going to be pro-Christianity, that was going
00:20:24 to treat Christians in Iran with more sympathy, that was going to be favorable to the U.S.,
00:20:30 you know, and say, hey, you know what, you know, peace with Israel, that's probably a 0.81
00:20:34 good idea, even though they keep whacking us with a stick, we'll still, you know, we'll 0.57
00:20:37 play nice.
00:20:38 There was none of that.
00:20:39 There were no assurances.
00:20:41 There wasn't even an inclination.
00:20:42 There weren't even, you know, signs of even the potential that we would get anything different.
00:20:48 So it's like, okay, we're going to cut off the head of the snake, knowing if anything,
00:20:52 There's a 99% chance that the head that grows back in its place will be just the same, just
00:20:59 as bad, if not even worse, because now it's far more agitated than what we just dealt
00:21:05 with. 0.97
00:21:05 This was absolutely foolish, and you've heard it from the mouth of Mark Rubio and several 0.99
00:21:10 others. 0.98
00:21:11 At this point, we did it because Israel forced our hand. 0.84
00:21:15 If we did not attack first, Israel was going to attack. 0.87
00:21:18 Their attack would be weaker than ours. 0.69
00:21:20 and then all of a sudden our U.S. service members in bases around Iran would have been
00:21:26 crushed in the retaliation, in the response from Iran. And so we attacked because we thought it 0.95
00:21:34 was best for us or because we thought it was the optimal strategic decision. No, we did it because
00:21:39 we knew that Israel will not actually ally with us. They won't actually. Israel is Leroy Jenkins,
00:21:45 right Leroy like he's not a team player Israel is for Israel the dwarves are for the dwarves right 0.57
00:21:51 they're not a team player with the U.S. they're just looking out for numero uno themselves they
00:21:56 were going to attack in such a way that that our service members in our bases reaped the whirlwind
00:22:03 so we attacked first trying for it to be more decisive so that all of our service members
00:22:08 there in the Middle East in our various bases would not get hit at least quite as hard and the
00:22:14 reality is that's what got us into the war it was not our deliberate decision it was us acting on a 0.71
00:22:20 dime because we knew Israel would work for them at our detriment per usual and now the outcome is 0.81
00:22:28 still the same we've got new leadership in Iran that's just as bad as the last leadership we've 0.74
00:22:34 got our service members getting hit and now we're going to have boots on the ground an all-out war
00:22:40 and both the toll with our taxes financially, economically, and the lives of our sons and 1.00
00:22:48 daughters, because we are a wicked secular nation that sends women into war. The reality is who's 0.86
00:22:55 to say? We don't know how high the cost is going to be, but it's looking like it's going to be
00:22:59 pretty high. I want to take a moment right here for just a second and mention to you one of our
00:23:04 premier sponsors this is knickknack knickknack is uh single-handedly fueling uh nxr studios uh we
00:23:11 are rocking knickknacks uh on a i i was gonna say a daily basis more like tic tacs yeah well that's
00:23:19 literally what it is so i was gonna say we're rocking them on a daily basis but that would
00:23:22 not be truthful it's more like an hourly basis i'll go ahead and put one in for good measure but
00:23:26 there's a lot of nicotine pouches and they're great i you know it's it's really honestly it's
00:23:30 a personal preference thing. So there are times where it's like, oh, I'm feeling a pouch. And
00:23:34 then there are other times where it's like, I'm feeling a knick-knack, tic-tac, you know,
00:23:38 Poliwhack, give a dog a bone. I'm going to bust one of these. They dissolve. So it's different 0.98
00:23:43 than a pouch. It actually fully dissolves in your mouth and the flavors are great. And what I really
00:23:51 like about them is I've actually got the privilege of meeting the CEO and meeting the rest of the
00:23:56 team as well. You can see, probably not with the camera, but their logo, it's a foot crushing the
00:24:01 head of a snake. These guys are based. They are Christian. They are America first, very
00:24:08 unapologetically, America first. But they're also, most importantly, Christ first. And so that foot
00:24:14 crushing the head of the snake, that's indicative of Christ crushing the head of the serpent,
00:24:21 the promise that was given by God to the woman, her offspring would crush the head of the serpent. 0.57

00:25:17 All right.
00:25:18 So we want to turn to now, we have an article here from the Wall Street Journal.
00:25:21 this article is titled netanyahu finally got what he wanted on iran by appealing to an audience of
00:25:26 one i wonder who that audience is so it wasn't me i'll tell you the american people together
00:25:31 no it may have been yorm herzoni it may have been doug wilson it may have been mark levine but i've
00:25:38 got a feeling it was trump it's a little a little higher more powerful there but but okay so we've
00:25:44 talked i think up to this point in the show we've talked about all the deleterious aspects of this
00:25:48 war. Deleterious. We're just making up words. All right. That's a good one. That's a good one.
00:25:54 But all of those arguments aside, I think people are asking this question. It's actually being
00:26:00 answered by the Trump administration, but they're asking the question, OK, I have an inkling that 0.66
00:26:05 Israel is behind America's involvement in this war. And the good news is it's not a conspiracy.
00:26:12 Basically, every Trump official at this point has come out and said just as much. And the Wall
00:26:15 Street Journal here is reporting. We're going to read a couple of quotes and we'll pull up
00:26:18 up on the screen here. But this is getting into the nitty gritty in terms of exactly how Israel
00:26:24 convinced the United States to be brought into the... There's Joel. We're just having fun. It's
00:26:30 a Monday afternoon. It's Monday. The world's going to end. I have five kids. Gas prices are spiking.
00:26:34 Yeah. I feel like I'm on the Titanic. It's like, okay, the thing's going down. I'm a father of
00:26:39 five. We can freak out or I can read my kids a bedtime story. Get ready for a good cold plunge.
00:26:43 Yeah, have one good last night.
00:26:45 Yeah, all right, sorry.
00:26:46 Yeah, but okay, so we're going to pull this up on the screen.
00:26:48 I'm just going to jump right in and we'll open it up.
00:26:50 But okay, so this is the article from the Wall Street Journal on Netanyahu
00:26:54 and how exactly he convinced the Trump administration to get into this war.
00:26:58 It says, quote,
00:26:59 the campaign undertaking side by side with the Americans
00:27:02 would transform the region's strategic landscape with Israel 0.91
00:27:05 as an unrivaled military power. 0.95
00:27:07 And it would mark a stunning success for Netanyahu, 0.72
00:27:10 who has long argued that the threat from Tehran isn't only Israel's problem, but America's as 0.96
00:27:15 well. Of course. Central to that success was Netanyahu's belief that the most important
00:27:19 audience for Israel's case against Iran was the American president. Quote, he poured his efforts
00:27:25 into an audience of one, President Trump, said Aviv Boshinsky, a former advisor to Netanyahu.
00:27:32 Jumping down a little bit further, his focus on winning over Trump was a departure from his
00:27:36 long-held view that the path to influence in Washington ran through American voters.
00:27:42 Netanyahu was a frequent guest on cable news, arguing Israel's case directly to the public.
00:27:47 This time, he has taken an unusual backseat role in driving the public rhetoric in the U.S.
00:27:52 Netanyahu has emphasized Trump's central role in the war and credited the president
00:27:57 with key decisions, portraying him as the driving force behind the effort against Iran.
00:28:02 In television interviews and public statements, Netanyahu has stressed that Trump acts in
00:28:06 america's interest and makes his own decisions that approach is playing to trump's instincts
00:28:11 how did he do it quote he has figured out how to persuade and partner with and flatter trump
00:28:17 in ways that have been extremely effective in advancing his goals said daniel shapiro a former
00:28:23 deputy assistant secretary of defense for the middle east is anyone surprised at this is any
00:28:28 is anyone surprised that netanyahu saw an opportunity obviously the war drums with respect
00:28:34 to Iran have been pounding and pounding for almost two decades now. And we have a clip here,
00:28:38 we'll play here in a little bit, and we've already alluded to, but former Secretary of State
00:28:42 Antony Blinken actually did an interview with Bloomberg where he basically laid out
00:28:47 the same thing that Marco Rubio has said was the cause of America getting involved. He said,
00:28:52 we were approached under the Obama administration. Israel said that they were going to unilaterally
00:28:57 attack Iran. They saw them as a threat and they were going to do it. And we said, no, we said that 0.94
00:29:02 there was a better path obviously that path was the joint comprehensive plan of action jcpoa that
00:29:07 was the iran nuclear deal is the better path was uh wait a second we've got 330 million people in
00:29:13 this country that are dying to pay extra taxes right that's the oh yeah a hundred percent and
00:29:18 so uh and so netanyahu changed his course he said i think i can win trump i think and this is this
00:29:23 kind of gets into the the the background of the many many visits to washington netanyahu visiting
00:29:29 trump it was seven times yeah i think eight now or i'm sure he's got another one in there he's got
00:29:34 to do his laundry after all you know so you gotta you gotta take that to the white house but um no
00:29:38 that's insightful antonio that um this actually i think this article actually nails it um that's
00:29:45 not an endorsement of you know this group all the time but i i think that they're right because 0.96
00:29:49 that's actually it because at a certain level it's like this is so dumb right this is so dumb 0.98
00:29:55 why is Trump just throwing away his polling numbers, his popularity? I mean, he won not 0.99
00:30:02 just the Electoral College, but the popular vote, which is very rare for, you know, GOP president
00:30:07 to do. And it's just in the toilet. And it's like, why, why would he do that? There must be
00:30:13 something going on, 40 chess, this, that, or the other. But it actually makes sense when you think,
00:30:17 no um netanyahu he he bet the house right he just he went all in on trump and and it's like
00:30:26 you know um america is more uh skeptical and and negative and their sentiments towards israel than
00:30:34 than we have been in 50 years and it's like why would they do this and it actually makes sense
00:30:40 to think no this was actually calculated they knew that that was a liability but it was worth
00:30:45 it they said we don't need to win 300 million people we just need to win one and so we're
00:30:50 willing for our popularity israel to tank in the american purview but we're going to tank trump
00:30:58 with it and we're going to just talk in his ear you know how trump loves himself some trump you
00:31:03 know and this was um this decision that we actually made for you was actually your decision
00:31:08 it was one of the best decisions oh it was such a wise decision and like who is like unto you oh
00:31:13 king yeah who is like unto you oh king you know make a decree that for the next 30 days there will
00:31:18 be missiles a billion dollars a pop you know and and trump eats that up you know and that's that's
00:31:24 really what what has been going on and i gotta give props i mean you've got to give credit where 0.56
00:31:28 credit is due netanyahu and israel um in terms of the moral categories uh they're all going to hell
00:31:34 for sure i mean like right now like i i feel like the devil is having to renovate you know
00:31:39 like we need a new layer of hell that's worse than any we've had so far you know the ballroom
00:31:45 we need another layer exactly yeah so i mean they're for sure going to hell in the moral
00:31:49 category but in the strategic category this was brilliant you got to give credit where credit is
00:31:53 due um they bet the farm netanyahu israel they bet the farm on trump yeah and uh and if you were
00:32:00 wondering it's like okay like because think about this logically right we were all saying back in
00:32:04 2020. Trump was robbed. The election was rigged, you know, and all this kind of stuff. And I still
00:32:09 believe that just for the record. But if that's the case, then how come, I mean, do we really
00:32:15 think that, you know, four years go by and then all of a sudden, you know, the elites and powers
00:32:20 that be are like, hey, you know what? Fair is fair. We'll rob one election, but we won't do
00:32:25 it twice. That's where we draw the line. We've got ethics. You know, we have some standards after
00:32:29 all no like they let him win they could have robbed it again they let him win why because
00:32:35 2016 was an accident right they didn't hedge their bets hillary hillary wrote she didn't write a
00:32:42 concession speech that nobody thought that trump would actually win at least none of the elites
00:32:46 nobody in charge um so 2016 how did he get in he got in by accident 2020 now that they knew it was
00:32:54 actually possible they're like can't happen again they took it 2024 what changed um they didn't rig
00:33:00 the election hard enough too big to rig no by 2024 they had bought him they had bought him and it was
00:33:08 now permissible for him to win because now he was their guy he's not coming to drain the swamp he's
00:33:14 coming to make renovations and expand the swamp that's what's going on and i know it hurts i like
00:33:20 Trump. I voted for Trump. I appreciate God and his sovereignty and the good things that he's done
00:33:25 through Trump. I recognize that the border is closed. That is a huge blessing. But at the end
00:33:30 of the day, Trump is no longer our guy. Trump is bought and paid for, and he is working for Netanyahu 0.69
00:33:39 and Israel. But it is not in the best interest of the American people. And we can't even begin to
00:33:45 deal with the problems until we first acknowledge that the problem exists dominique you reported
00:33:51 that trump says it will be a mutual decision on when to end war with iran made together with
00:33:55 prime minister benjamin netanyahu according to times of israel so it sounds like it's up to
00:34:00 israel when this war ends huh sounds like sounds like it to me gentlemen and uh joel you had just
00:34:07 said something along something along the lines of is that trump has bought and paid for and
00:34:11 that very well may be true but the other things that could contribute to why we're in the
00:34:16 conundrum we're currently in is he could also be compromised perhaps by blackmail or he also could
00:34:22 have just been flatly threatened and I always thought that it was remarkably suspicious that
00:34:28 there was an assassination attempt on the president of the United States now who was a candidate at
00:34:33 the time but the fact that we've heard so so so little about Butler Pennsylvania and the fact
00:34:39 that he every time he's publicly asked about it he constantly shrugs it off as if he himself is
00:34:45 not even interested in it i always found that to be very strange and reports from that day
00:34:50 if you dig very deep you can also even find that uh israeli intelligence was apparently putting
00:34:56 recording devices inside of some of the black suv vehicles that president trump rides in
00:35:03 obviously there was the issue with the golden pager there's been a lot of very strange activities
00:35:09 that could lead someone to believe that something like him being compromised
00:35:14 or threatened is totally possible.
00:35:15 And then as far as Netanyahu and his approach to winning Trump over this time
00:35:21 and actually having the U.S. work to achieve his and Israel's goals,
00:35:26 this has always been one of the main problems with Trump,
00:35:29 and it was actually something that many people thought was sort of a positive
00:35:33 or they thought it was funny, his just extreme arrogance and his love of himself.
00:35:38 but the thing is is you know oftentimes these days we say that trump is israel first
00:35:43 and in many ways he is but the truth is is trump is trump first yeah israel second and america third
00:35:51 and i think in many of his behaviors and actions that's very indicative a lot of this presidential
00:35:56 term has been used to enrich himself to secure future riches for his family uh and i do think
00:36:03 that, you know, for all these shills out there that act like people like us are in the wrong
00:36:08 for giving reasonable criticism due to his failures and his betrayals, you know, for him
00:36:15 to have the audacity to run and have his whole political mantra be centered on draining the
00:36:20 swamp only to do this. I think anything else but harsh criticism is just total dishonesty.
00:36:27 And it just goes to show how this sort of political landscape is declining, mostly because
00:36:32 of greed uh so yes it is true times of israel did report that trump said that himself and again i
00:36:39 mean clearly trump is in the driver's seat at most he's in shotgun he's he seems just to be an old
00:36:46 man that is losing touch that constantly wants people to praise him and as long as you meet that
00:36:52 requirement you can basically do whatever you want and that's also why you know you're seeing
00:36:56 him surround himself with cabinet members that don't offer any reasonable criticism they don't
00:37:01 even want to give him any feedback that's contrary to what he's already said because anything that
00:37:07 is uh viewed as going against whatever he's uh ordered is is viewed as disloyalty and not as you
00:37:14 know just trying to strategically strategically help him and offer him a different point of view
00:37:19 so right you know a lot of people have been complaining about how this administration goes
00:37:23 but i think it needs to even be more intensified because if we go if we remain on this current
00:37:29 track I don't think we're going to continue to have a country here and even something short like 0.91
00:37:33 10 20 years wow all right this is what I want to do moving forward I want to talk about nukes I
00:37:41 want to do it I understand it's not super likely but I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and pull the
00:37:47 podcasters real quick there are four of us I'm gonna start with Wes and Antonio then I'm gonna
00:37:53 give it to you Dominique you're the guest so I will give you the privilege of not going first
00:37:57 I'm going to go last. I'm going to go ahead and just shamelessly give myself the most advantage
00:38:02 by going last. Let's do this. If we were to put it into percentages, okay, what do you guys think?
00:38:09 And then I'm going to show a little bit of receipts, and these aren't definitive by any
00:38:14 stretch, but I'll give you at least, you know, what kick-started this conversation, give you
00:38:19 some of the backing, the explanation for why I'm begging the question. Okay, so let's go ahead and
00:38:24 start with you, Antonio, what do you think the chances are that America launches a nuke?
00:38:29 I think it's very low. I think just, I'll preface it by saying this, the administration,
00:38:35 I'm thinking Caroline Levitt was on Fox, I think Fox News Sunday, talking and was basically being
00:38:41 questioned, hey, what's off the table? Is the military draft off the table? Nukes weren't,
00:38:47 I don't believe, asked specifically, but she made it a point, I think, in principle to say that
00:38:52 Trump considers all of his options. And so that is to say a military draft isn't off the table,
00:38:57 but potentially the use of nukes is also not off the table. That said, I still think just
00:39:04 militarily, the US can probably achieve what it wants to achieve. Now, that cost will be higher
00:39:11 than even they expected, I think, even than the intelligence agencies expected. But I think they
00:39:17 still can't achieve the objectives of the purported war without the use of nukes. And so I 0.72
00:39:24 think it's very unlikely. If I had to give it a chance, I would say probably 5% chance that nukes
00:39:30 are actually used. And then I would also just say a little bit further that if there were nukes to
00:39:35 be used, I think it would be used in a controlled manner. I don't think it would be reckless. I think
00:39:41 you would probably need a bilateral agreement i'm thinking particularly with russia i'm thinking
00:39:47 particularly with china china uh and so the big nuclear powers would have to be alerted to the
00:39:53 use of nukes and so it would be more of like this is what we're going to do russia china this is this 0.93
00:39:59 is our path and we need you to be on board with this because we don't want armageddon and so china 0.77
00:40:05 obviously they at first push back but if i'm if i'm the u.s security official i'm saying here's 0.72
00:40:10 the concessions we can give you and we talked about this on the last in the last discussion
00:40:13 on iran concessions would look like taiwan concessions for russia would look like ukraine
00:40:18 and there would be some bilateral agreement that okay the u.s can have its way in iran but this is
00:40:24 what we're going to get in return and we're not going to lose out on this but anyway low chance
00:40:28 i mean there are i think the telegraph was reporting there are two cabinet officials who
00:40:32 actually purchased uh allegedly purchased that's bunkers yeah um so this is being reported and this
00:40:39 being talked about online, but it's not that widespread. And I don't think anyone needs to be
00:40:43 unreasonably concerned of some kind of nuclear fallout Armageddon situation.
00:40:48 All right, Wes, what do you think?
00:40:50 It's infinitely higher than it was probably a couple weeks ago. I do see some parallels with
00:40:54 the nukes on Japan. As you remember, we were pushing for unconditional surrender on the part
00:40:58 of Japan at the end of World War II. And the big reason for invoking nukes at the time was
00:41:03 it would be too costly to enact a ground invasion. They would fight every last man, woman, and child.
00:41:08 it would have cost hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to do so, and so a dramatic show of force 0.58
00:41:13 would bring Japan to its knees and force the unconditional surrender that we want. We did 0.72
00:41:17 just play through, we looked at the topographical map of Iran. It's going to be very difficult to
00:41:22 install a pro-U.S., pro-Israel regime in Iran without some type of invasion. And so, sure,
00:41:27 a couple weeks ago, the idea that nukes would be used in this decade seemed, I mean, practically
00:41:32 off the table. They have not been used in over half of a century. However, you get dragged into
00:41:37 a long and popular war, you do always have a Trump card, pun intended, in your back pocket,
00:41:43 a dramatic show of force. You have the excuse to say, this is saving American lives. This is saving
00:41:48 the lives of our allies in the Middle East. Look at how they're disrupting the economy. 1.00
00:41:52 We have to do this. It's short-term pain for long-term gain. And as we alluded to,
00:41:58 as far as Trump's ego, I think he would think, looking back, that it was FDR, I believe,
00:42:03 that dropped the nukes that it was relatively popular history looks back on him favorably and
00:42:07 so i don't think trump is completely opposed to that optics the man who stood up and did what
00:42:12 needed to be done now it's kind of fitting that if he ever did do it it would be behalf on israel
00:42:16 which would be the fitting kind of period or exclamation point on his story so uh not impossible
00:42:22 not as unlikely as it was a couple weeks ago five to ten percent chance for me yeah okay what do you
00:42:28 think dominique so this is again where trump's ego comes into play i think that donald trump
00:42:34 will do anything and i mean anything in order to avoid a perceived loss to the american public
00:42:41 into the world or to show a sign of perceived weakness to the world so i read a report from
00:42:47 wall street journal yesterday that if we were to send in ground ground troops full ground invasion
00:42:52 even then the chances of a full regime change would still actually be low according to their
00:42:58 projections so i don't think that it would be a type of situation where it's hiroshima or nagasaki
00:43:05 or anything of that nature to where we're talking about mass destruction civilian deaths things like
00:43:12 that but as far as a tackler nuclear weapon especially in the particular case of us doing
00:43:19 something similar to what we try to do with the nuclear facilities in Fordow where we use
00:43:23 bunker buster bombs I think because apparently we didn't do much damage to those bombs and that's
00:43:29 what intelligence reports indicated right after we did that strike last summer I think the chances
00:43:34 of us deploying some sort of tactical nuclear weapon to where we actually drive it deep within
00:43:41 the ground with the intention of of you know blasting off underground in order to actually
00:43:48 collapse the nuclear facility that or more than one, I would give it a 20% chance. I and I think
00:43:55 it's increasing. And the longer that this conflict goes on, or the longer that it you know, it seems
00:44:01 that Iran is giving us some difficulty in the in the Persian Gulf, I think those chances are going
00:44:06 to continue to increase. So I think it's about a 20% chance. Like I said, I don't think it's going
00:44:11 to be a traditional nuclear bomb. But I think as far as a tackler nuclear weapon, either to show
00:44:17 them a sign of we are willing to do whatever it takes to completely crush you as an attempt to
00:44:23 kind of break their will or just um you know as the strategic play on one of their nuclear facilities
00:44:28 i think 20 25 easily yeah all right i agree with you i was gonna say uh it's certainly not zero
00:44:36 unfortunately i'd like to see zero but uh it doesn't seem as though that is actually the
00:44:40 reality so um yeah i think that it's uh the chances are still you know certainly uh less
00:44:47 likely than they are likely but rising by the day i think 20 is not crazy by any stretch
00:44:53 unfortunately let's go to one last message from our final sponsor of the day and then we'll come
00:44:59 back with some concluding thoughts breaking news you're fat and so am i let's just be honest i'm

00:46:47 off all right some final thoughts all right well uh in some ways it's a little bit of we told you
00:46:55 so it was about close to a year ago where we came out and we said hey nick fuentes as far as his
00:47:00 analysis on the u.s's motivations and this upcoming war with iran he's right we warned as
00:47:05 well, that these frequent trips from the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the White
00:47:09 House, signaled that there was a certain level that Trump was beholden to Israel, beholden to
00:47:14 their foreign policy, beholden to what they wanted to do. And now we are nine days into a war that
00:47:20 the American public broadly disapproves of. There was a poll that came out yesterday of Republicans
00:47:25 under 50, 45 percent, responded by agreeing that Jews are a threat to the American way of life. So 0.97
00:47:32 public sentiment is turning, but the old guard, Donald Trump, Netanyahu, Miriam Adelson, the rich 0.80
00:47:38 Jewish families here in the United States, they still have incredible sway over what actually 0.70
00:47:43 happens. And so we're going to see this tension continue to play out for years. The elite and the
00:47:48 institutions and the apparatus and structures that exist wanting one thing, and the people
00:47:53 standing on the sidelines saying, we never asked for this. We never asked for our economy to be
00:47:59 as bad as it is. We never asked for gas prices to go up. We never asked for unemployment. We came
00:48:04 out with February's job numbers. Not good. We didn't ask for these things. We asked for mass
00:48:08 deportations. We asked for no new wars, but the elite said we have different plans. And so we're
00:48:13 now nine days into a war. This war could go 90 days. This war could go nine months. Who to say?
00:48:18 But ultimately, we the people, it seems, have been left out of that calculus. And our opinion
00:48:23 has not really been considered. The things that we wanted, the things that we asked for,
00:48:27 And we began eight to 10 months ago warning you about this.
00:48:31 And so it's a shame to be right in some ways.
00:48:33 But also, this is the world we're in.
00:48:35 You have to take a sober analysis of it, realize that that's the calculus, and act accordingly.
00:48:40 Right.
00:48:40 Dominique, any final thoughts from you?
00:48:43 Yes.
00:48:45 Well, we're in very scary and dangerous times.
00:48:48 And I implore people to ask themselves, 0.99
00:48:50 clearly Israel's intention is to become the primary global superpower on this planet. 0.81
00:48:55 what is next for america if they actually achieve their goals nothing good i can tell you that
00:49:01 right now they're working to be the regional hegemon in the middle east their plan has gone
00:49:07 exactly to play they knocked down syria they knocked down they neutered jordan and egypt many 0.98
00:49:12 years ago they were able to defeat hamas they were able to defeat the houthis they were able to
00:49:17 defeat hezbollah the last piece on the chessboard is iran and now they've got the big muscle the
00:49:23 united states with their endless security guarantees and weaponry going to bat for israel but the thing
00:49:29 that people don't understand is after this is done and after the u.s is observably completely
00:49:34 weakened in many ways with depleted munitions and everything else and honestly if it keeps going
00:49:40 this way just a a tattered image on the global stage what is going to be next is that israel 0.71
00:49:46 is probably going to start openly competing with and, you know, basically being an adversary to 0.69
00:49:54 the United States in many ways. So I think that people really should be careful what they wish
00:49:59 for all these stupid boomers out there that think that this is some war that's in America's 0.99
00:50:04 interest or this is our best friend and nothing, you know, in the future is going to be adverse 1.00
00:50:08 to America. I really think this is very dangerous. And I think that's an element that people are not
00:50:13 discussing enough yeah antonio any final thoughts no i i think that was great analysis i would i
00:50:19 would just say there's a severe threat for protraction here um in terms of just what the
00:50:24 stated goals of the united states are uh and and going back to the point of trump really not willing
00:50:29 to lose on this and i think netanyahu even netanyahu even more so i think israel very much
00:50:34 sees this as an existential crisis for them and so when you look at some of these and i'll just
00:50:40 read of the White House's official statements, destroying ballistic missile capabilities,
00:50:43 dismantling Iran's existing missile stocks, annihilating their entire Navy, eliminating
00:50:48 the regime's naval forces, preventing nuclear proliferation. So ensuring Iran can never obtain 0.95
00:50:54 a nuclear weapon. And then this one, the most vague one, neutralizing their proxy networks. 0.95
00:51:00 So stopping Tehran from arming, funding, and directing militant proxy groups throughout the
00:51:05 Middle East. I don't think this is even possible without regime change. Again, we've talked about
00:51:08 his son who has just been appointed the new leader he's a hardliner so if you thought that
00:51:13 he was uh the previous leader was difficult and by the way this is the story as old as time as
00:51:18 you you eliminate one one leader and they're replaced with someone even worse this is what
00:51:22 happened with ray of bone uh you know when his father yeah solomon is done he's like you know
00:51:27 my my father um he you know he uh what is he whipped you with um like with lashes or something
00:51:35 but i'm going to whip you with scorpions yeah like like i'm going to be even worse yeah so so
00:51:40 the threats uh to your point dominic the threats here are incredibly severe i think even trump's
00:51:45 rhetoric on unconditional surrender so like a very very clear appeal to regime change and saying we
00:51:50 just won't have it um these these are difficult things to achieve i think in the context of the
00:51:55 top the topographical um sort of uh characteristics of iran i think also just their their defensive
00:52:03 position. They're backing by Russia and China. They're hold on one fifth of the world's oil
00:52:09 supply. These are going to be very difficult things to achieve. And if you have a president
00:52:13 who's not willing to back down or acquiesce on any of these points, this should be very alarming
00:52:19 for Americans. Yep. Well said. All right. We've got a couple super chats. I'm going to take them
00:52:23 right here at the end. We've got one from Dakota Davis. He's a longtime supporter of the show. We
00:52:27 appreciate you. Davis, thank you. He said, I long for the day when Jews say shalom and actually mean
00:52:34 it. They have also healed the hurt, he's quoting scripture now, of my people lightly, saying peace,
00:52:41 peace, when there is no peace. So true king. Amen. Tyler Burke. Tyler had the privilege of meeting
00:52:48 him yesterday. He and his fiance came and visited our church on Sunday morning, so that was a
00:52:53 blessing. We are located about an hour north, northeast of Austin. So if you're in Central
00:52:59 Texas, you're looking for a good church, feel free to email, reach out, and we can tell you
00:53:04 a little bit more details. I don't like to publicize the address of the church. We have
00:53:09 many enemies, right? So we try to keep that close to the chest. But if you're looking for a good
00:53:13 church in Central Texas, in the greater Austin area, come visit. Tyler visited yesterday. It was
00:53:18 a blessing to meet him for the first time in person. And he said, I'd like to start by saying
00:53:23 that the service on Sunday was great, and we do plan on returning. My question is for you, Joel,
00:53:29 how do you respond to boomers sticking with the Bible says to bless Israel argument? A simple 0.97
00:53:37 answer that I'll give you is this. If you actually go and look at Genesis chapter 12, the word of the
00:53:43 Lord is given to not the nation state of Israel, certainly not Bibi Netanyahu in the year of our
00:53:49 Lord, 2026, but it's a word that's given not to a people, but to an individual. It's given to
00:53:55 Abraham, and it is those who bless you, Abraham, will be blessed, and those who curse you will be
00:54:02 cursed. So then the question is, who are the descendants of Abraham? If you go with a physical
00:54:07 descendancy, then that would, ironically, that would include Muslims, not just Jews. Remember 0.94
00:54:15 that if you were talking about Jacob, whose name was literally changed by God to Israel and the
00:54:21 12 tribes of Israel, Jacob's 12 sons, that would be a little bit different. But Abraham, he had
00:54:28 his son Isaac, who beget Jacob, but he also had a son, Ishmael, and the descendants of Ishmael
00:54:37 make up many Muslim nations. And so the word is not given, this word from the Lord about those
00:54:44 who bless you will be blessed, those who curse you will be cursed, is not given to Jacob,
00:54:48 it's given to Abraham, speaking of him and his family line, his descendants. So if you go the
00:54:55 physical route, well then, you know, boomers in America who claim to be Christians should be just 0.52
00:55:00 as concerned about not cursing Islamic nations as they are Jewish ones. So that's probably not
00:55:07 the best interpretation. But the alternative is you can go with spiritual descendants, right? You
00:55:13 could always opt for the interpretation that the New Testament of the Bible literally explicitly
00:55:18 lays out. Who are the children of Abraham? Who are Abraham's real seed, his real descendants?
00:55:25 Those who have union with Christ. The seed of Abraham, not plural but singular, is ultimately
00:55:32 referencing Christ, the Messiah. And those who are Abraham's true children are those who have
00:55:40 union with Christ, his seed, by virtue of the Spirit and through faith. This is what Jesus
00:55:48 himself, we see that in Galatians and elsewhere, but this is what Jesus explicitly says himself
00:55:53 in John chapter 8, when the Jewish leaders who were seeking to lie about him and ultimately
00:55:59 crucify him, they're claiming, making appeals to their lineage and saying, we are not illegitimate
00:56:05 children, we are children of Abraham. And Jesus says, no, you're not, because children always bear
00:56:10 a striking resemblance to their father. Abraham looked prophetically through the corridors of
00:56:16 time. He heard the prophetic word that a seed, I, would eventually come. He looked forward to me
00:56:21 and greeted me with open arms. Abraham was excited about me, but you hate me. You bear no resemblance
00:56:29 to Abraham, therefore he is not your father. Then these Jewish rulers, Sadducees and Pharisees and 1.00
00:56:35 lawyers of that day who hated Christ then appeal above Abraham and say, well, let's just, you know, 0.67
00:56:41 cut straight to the chase. We're not just children of Abraham. We're children of God. And then Jesus
00:56:46 responds and says, well, the same way, the concept, the principle remains constant. Children, if they
00:56:54 are legitimate children, bear a striking resemblance to their father. You don't look like Abraham 0.99
00:57:00 him because he loved me. You hate me. You certainly don't look like God because God is my father. He 0.85
00:57:06 loves me. In me, he is well pleased. And again, you hate me. So then, who is your spiritual father?
00:57:14 Well, it's probably the guy that you look the most like. You're liars. You're murderers. Well, 1.00
00:57:21 there is one who has been a murderer since the beginning. And when he lies, he speaks his native
00:57:26 tongue. All he does is lie. You are not children of Abraham. You are not children of God. Your
00:57:32 daddy is the devil. You are children of the devil. So, according to Jesus, the true children of 1.00
00:57:40 Abraham, his true descendants, are not those physically, but spiritually. So, you only have 0.69
00:57:45 two ways, at the end of the day, to interpret that text in Genesis 12, which is not given to
00:57:50 a nation state of Israel, but given to a man, Abraham, that says those who bless you will be
00:57:56 blessed, those who curse you will be cursed. You can say that this is speaking of his family tree,
00:58:01 his descendants physically, in which case it would include, because of Ishmael, Muslims,
00:58:06 not just Jews. Or you can take the New Testament biblical explicit interpretation that God gives
00:58:13 us, which is spiritual descendants, not physical, in which case it references those who have union 0.76
00:58:19 with christ those who love jesus okay so that's what i would say to the boomers um that said
00:58:26 maybe some will get wise maybe some will repent uh but the way that it's been going and the way
00:58:32 that it looks as though it will continue uh our best strategy is we're probably just going to have 0.98
00:58:37 to wait 10 years for the boomers to die because it does not seem as though they are going to repent 0.98
00:58:43 of their dispensational zionistic heretical doctrine that is a tragedy um it really is 0.97
00:58:51 but uh it looks like that's where we're at so that'll do it for us today dominique thanks so
00:58:56 much for joining us on the show it's been incredibly helpful here at the very end would

01:00:34 Right here at the end, we don't always do this, but let's do it, right?
01:00:38 World War III may be on the way.
01:00:40 It seems like it merits a prayer.
01:00:42 Father, we thank you.
01:00:45 We thank you for your people who are not any race or bloodline,
01:00:51 but those who have union with Christ.
01:00:52 We thank you for Christians.
01:00:54 Lord, we pray for those Christians in Iran.
01:00:56 It is one of the quickest growing groups of Christians in the world is happening in Iran.
01:01:03 There's still, of course, an extreme minority.
01:01:05 But in terms of the rate of growth, Christianity has been growing like wildfire in Iran.
01:01:10 We thank you for that. 0.99
01:01:11 Lord, we pray that with all the chaos and everything that's going on, we pray that the end result as it pertains to Iran, that it would be favorable for your people, for Christians. 0.83
01:01:21 Lord, we pray in the case of Israel, Lord, we pray that they would repent of their sin. 0.94
01:01:26 They would repent of, first and foremost, spiritually rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ 0.94
01:01:31 and believing that he's burning in hell.
01:01:33 But we also pray that they would repent of just being warlords,
01:01:39 the genocide in Gaza and continuing to pick fights with everybody and anybody all the time.
01:01:47 And Lord, we pray for our nation, for our leaders politically, that they would resist
01:01:52 being subservient to foreign influence, that they would repent of their own pride and arrogance
01:01:59 and doing things for themselves, and that they would actually care about the American people
01:02:04 that they've been appointed to serve. And then Lord, we pray for Christians here in our country.
01:02:09 Lord, we pray that despite all the chaos, all the confusion, Lord, we pray that your people
01:02:14 would prosper, that you would protect us, and that through all the conflict and through all
01:02:20 the chaos, that somehow, some way, that you would work this for the good of those who love you and
01:02:26 are called according to your purpose, and that you would do it all for your glory. In Jesus' name we
01:02:30 pray. Amen. All right, that does it for us. Thanks for tuning in. We'll see you again on Wednesday
