1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:02.439
<v Speaker 1>So the other day I found out that the CIA

2
00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>crime report to the Department of Justice on the basis

4
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of a supposed crime I committed. What's that crime, well,

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>talking to people in Iran before the war. They read

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>my texts. So the crime under consideration apparently would be

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the Foreign Agent Act or something like that, acting as

8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>an agent of a foreign power.

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>So I had an entire episode prepared for you guys

10
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 2>based off of the past four days that I've been off.

11
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>There has been a tremendous amount of breaking news stories.

12
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 2>And last night, after I get done with post production

13
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>for the episode, which we'll follow right after with this,

14
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I see a report come out from Tucker Carlson saying

15
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>that he's being He has been for the third time

16
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>that we know of. Obviously he's been spied on NonStop,

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 2>but for the third time that we know of our

18
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 2>own government. His own government has been spying on him,

19
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>that is surveilling his communications. And obviously that would golling

20
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>enough just if it was just that he's being spied on.

21
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>But then it gets even crazier because Ryder died Trump

22
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>sick event, Laura Loomer is taking credit for this. She

23
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is taking credit for his potential prosecution. A fellow journalist,

24
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a fellow American.

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Not too worried about an actual criminal case against me

26
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>for a bunch of reasons. One, I'm not an agent

27
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of a foreign power. Unlike a lot of people commenting

28
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>on US politics and global affairs. I have only one loyalty,

29
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 1>and that's the United States and have never acted against it.

30
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 1>It's interested for the only interests I care about, because

31
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm from here and I have a lot of kids,

32
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>so that's not a concern. I've also never taken money

33
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>from anybody, don't need it, don't want it, and that's provable.

34
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>And moreover, it's my job to talk to everybody all

35
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the time and try and figure out what's happening around

36
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>the world. That's literally what I do for a living,

37
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not going to stop doing that, nor should I.

38
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'm also an American talk to anybody.

39
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>So what disturbs me most about this is that you know,

40
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Tucker Carlson has contacts with a lot of governments, a

41
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of foreign governments. He has contacts within Israel as well.

42
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>He talks about it openly talks about all of his

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>conversations pretty forthright and pretty open manner. That includes, perhaps

44
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>to his detriment or to his endangerment, his conversations with

45
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, which he has been very open about, his

46
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 2>frustrations and his disappointment. In fact, he went on friend

47
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>of the Show and friend of mine, Brett Weinstein's show

48
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>that everybody saw Brett Weinstein on Tucker Carlson, But I

49
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>don't think most people have seen the episode where Tucker

50
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Carlson went on Brett Einstein. It came out the same

51
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>day so on the Dark Horse podcast, and in it,

52
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Tucker really kind of lets the cat of the bag.

53
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>He really goes deep into why he believes Trump ultimately

54
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>made this decision, and I'll just cut to the chase.

55
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 2>It seems as if he believes that Donald Trump was threatened,

56
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 2>that he was forced into this, that he went against

57
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>his will. So you should ask yourself, is this because

58
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 2>he was having communications with the Iranians? Or is this

59
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>because he has betrayed in scare quotes, the President of

60
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 2>the United States. But even more disturbing, and as I said,

61
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>all of this is disturbing, You've got if it's true

62
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 2>that this CIA referral is coming as a consequence of

63
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>an investigation because of a tip, a snitch line tip

64
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>from Laura Lomer. Well, then we have a real problem

65
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 2>because Laura Lumer should not be taken seriously because Laura Lumer, well,

66
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be as safe about this as I can.

67
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>She appears to not be representing American interests when it

68
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>comes to her dutiful reporting, that's my opinion. So in short,

69
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>what we have in our upside down funhouse image lunacy

70
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>world is someone who appears to be in violation of FARA,

71
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>which is the Foreign Agent Registration Act, that is, representing

72
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>a foreign government when it comes to lobbying our own

73
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and doing so in an undisclosed fashion. Accusing Tucker Carlson,

74
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>someone who, in my opinion, does incredibly quality journalists journalism

75
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and also is a legitimate, courageous truth teller the type

76
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>that we absolutely need right now, and accusing him of

77
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>what they are guilty of. Yes, accusing Tucker Carlson of

78
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>being a foreign agent, as she has been doing for

79
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>many months now when it comes to guitar. But now,

80
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>if Tucker's correct that this allegation comes as a consequence

81
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>of his conversation with Iranians just prior to the war beginning. Well,

82
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>then it would be because he's in the employ of

83
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Iran or representing Iranian interests. As absurd and laughable as

84
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>that is, that appears to be what's happening here.

85
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>There are some people who are mad at me for

86
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>my views about Israel, and they have some latitude. And

87
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons they pass on criminal complaints in

88
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 1>a fact, to law enforcement is to justify warrants for

89
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>spying on Americans, So that is an absolutely real thing.

90
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 3>But the main reason.

91
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>They do it is to leak the existence of the investigation,

92
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>such as it is, to the media and then humiliate

93
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and terrify the subjects of this op And that's of

94
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>course happened to me repeatedly many times, including in famously

95
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, when I was still at Fox News

96
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and trying to set up an interview with Vladimir Putin

97
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and the NSA, I heard from someone there had grabbed

98
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>my text messages with an American citizen and had leaked

99
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 1>them to news outlets. Those texts were basically my attempts

100
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to set up an interview with the foreign head of

101
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>state and they leaked them to The New York Times

102
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>in order to stop the interview, which they successfully did,

103
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, and they admitted that they were spying.

104
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is not a fantasy, It actually happened.

105
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>No theme throughout my show over the past six months,

106
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>if not the past years, that I've become convinced that

107
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 2>the vast majority of influencers are in the employee of

108
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>either lobbyists foreign powers. They are not truth tellers but

109
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>rather mercenaries. And a good example of this is with

110
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Laura Lumer that she just yesterday actually was in India. Yes,

111
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Laura Lumer in India. Laura Lumer, who has just drilled

112
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>into Indians for years and years and years, appears to

113
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.959
<v Speaker 2>have been paid to go there and give a tome.

114
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Prior to heading out to India to give that talk,

115
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>she deleted all of her very very hate filled messages

116
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>about Indians before she got on the plane. But that

117
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't prevent this from happening.

118
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 4>Slight study and speeches will be facilitated.

119
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Paul sent out.

120
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 4>You then went on to say our country was built

121
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 4>by white Europeans, not third world invaders from India. I

122
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 4>think you should do more than just express regret. From

123
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 4>what I can see, you're brazen d racist and Islamophobia,

124
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 4>and I'm sorry to say that we have articulately DeVore

125
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Bama in this country where we welcome all. But your

126
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 4>comment smack of anti Indianism was still Islamophobia and even

127
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 4>worse racism, which has no place, ma'am in today's world.

128
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 5>So get real, ma'am.

129
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Sorry to say that, but that comments are unacceptable to

130
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 4>be as an Indian and as a world citizen.

131
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 6>Now.

132
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>As hilarious as that was and is, it's also really

133
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>disturbing because if she is correct in taking credit for

134
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>these really slanderous, baseless accusations against Tucker Carlson, with it

135
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>leading to a CIA operation to spy on him and

136
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>ultimately refer him for criminal charges, it's disturbing, to put

137
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>it mildly, that someone with a reputation like Lumer could

138
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>lead to the unjust persecution and potentially prosecution of someone

139
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>who I consider to be highly reputable in Tucker Carlson,

140
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>someone who I consider to be tremendously important, particularly in

141
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>this moment, particularly given his opposition to the war in Iran,

142
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>particularly given his opposition to someone that he campaigned for

143
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>and on behalf of for a very long time. And

144
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump and Tucker goes on to make the point

145
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that this is to be expected in times of war,

146
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>that you will have increasing hostility towards journalism, you will

147
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>have a diminishment of our privacy rights, our rights, more broadly,

148
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 2>our first speech rights, which is obviously what this is.

149
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>And on a personal level, I take this very seriously,

150
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>in no short part because I'm friends with Brett Weinstein.

151
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I got a call from Brett about a

152
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.759
<v Speaker 2>week ago asking me, well, I'm not going to disclose

153
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.960
<v Speaker 2>what we talked about, it's not that relevant. But regardless,

154
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>in that same period, I now know that he was

155
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 2>almost certainly scheduling his appearance with and his appearance of

156
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Tucker to be on his show in the following days.

157
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And now I know that Tucker Carlson was being spied

158
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 2>on by the CIA, which means that based off of

159
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>our completely absurd anti terrorism and homeland defense law, that

160
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 2>would mean that based off of a connection that if

161
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you can normally, the way it's supposed to work, just

162
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>so you understand, is that it's supposed to be that

163
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>they have a right to spy on foreigners, not Americans.

164
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>We are supposed to have privacy rights. I know it's

165
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>a laughably absurd claim, but that is what our founders

166
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 2>intended with the Constitution. But in the wake of nine

167
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>to eleven, the way that they found a mechanism to

168
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>circumvent our god given rights was to spy on foreigners.

169
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 2>And if a foreigner had any contacts with an American, well,

170
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>then they could then spy on them, because they're not

171
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>spying on them, they're spying on them for the purposes

172
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>of spying on a foreigner. That's the arguments pfable as

173
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 2>it is, they take it one big step further than

174
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 2>that by then enabling themselves to spy on anyone who

175
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the subject of the operation of the investigation has been

176
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>communicating with, which means that very likely Tucker Carlson's communications

177
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>with Brett Weinstein would also be under their purview, and

178
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 2>therefore perhaps my communications with Brett would also be under

179
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>that umbrella. Now I'm not particularly concerned about this because

180
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 2>my communications with Brett are very benign and totally in

181
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>pursuit of the best interests of this country, so I

182
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>don't care. And additionally, I'm not at all concerned because

183
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>already assumed that they were spying on all of us. So,

184
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's just kind of comes with the territory,

185
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 2>particularly given the lane that I'm in and the topics

186
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 2>that I cover. It would I would be naive not

187
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>to expect it. It doesn't make it any less disturbing

188
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that this is where we are at as a people,

189
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>that our government spies on us twenty four to seven,

190
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>that our government tries to scare the living daylights out

191
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>of journalists who are in pursuit of not just the truth,

192
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>but in my opinion, perhaps even more importantly peace. So

193
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll wrap with this. I hope that you guys will

194
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 2>stand up for and stand behind Tucker Carlson or Brett

195
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 2>if they harass him, or me if they harass me.

196
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 3>But I doubt it.

197
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>I just I think it's really it's just a terrible precedent.

198
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 2>It's a terrible paradigm to exist under that they would

199
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>think that they could do this to us, That they

200
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 2>think that they can essentially scare dissidence into being quiet

201
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and allowing for illegal, unconstitutional, disastrous wars to be perpetrated

202
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 2>without any dissent. I think it's a sickness. I think

203
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a disease, literally, and we have to fight back

204
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>against it, so I encourage you guys to do so.

205
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>As far as I'm concerned, Tucker Carlson has done nothing wrong.

206
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>There's been no evidence to the contrary that he has

207
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>done anything wrong at all. So just keep that in mind,

208
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>because I'm sure the reports are to be flooding your

209
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>timelines over the next twenty four to forty eight hours

210
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>as the story just broke a few hours ago, and

211
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I would encourage you to really reserve judgment until you

212
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 2>know definitively what's up, because I trust Tugri Cralson I do.

213
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.080
<v Speaker 7>Iran does have a conventional military. They are a proud

214
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 7>and they are a big cunt. Possible case scenario is

215
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.559
<v Speaker 7>Iran says, Okay, you humiliated us, You've killed all of

216
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.080
<v Speaker 7>our leaders. We're going to go make this a regional

217
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 7>mess and try to get as many people involved as possible.

218
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 3>They're going to go after Americans.

219
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 7>They're going to go after Saudis, They're going to go

220
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 7>after everybody imaginable, just to create a big mess and

221
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 7>to try to draw the world into it. Just understand,

222
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 7>the Iranian people are widely respected and not necessarily are

223
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 7>always in sync with leadership. But if and when the

224
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 7>people of Iran feel like Persia is being defaced and

225
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 7>humiliated and disrespected, we don't know where that is going

226
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 7>to go. And that's my final reason why I am

227
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 7>always skeptical of military intervention. And when a lot of

228
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.320
<v Speaker 7>the sometimes warmongering wing gets too excited, you don't know.

229
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 7>Actually you need to have a lot of humility.

230
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Libbery Lockdown. This is Clint Russell. Thank

231
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 2>you for tuning in once again. My mom came and visited,

232
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>so I took four days off to spend it with her. Hi, Mom,

233
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.919
<v Speaker 2>love you very much. Let's get into the show we've got. Look,

234
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I've been getting a bunch of pushback on a few

235
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>claims that I've made, which is fine, that's normal, particularly

236
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>from a lot of people I like, like Laura Logan,

237
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. And I just wanted to show the clips

238
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 2>because I feel like and in fact, I was fact

239
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.919
<v Speaker 2>checked by Groc and Groc said that no, Trump and

240
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 2>heg Seth and Rubio none of them said these things.

241
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, yeah, they have. I have them

242
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>prepared for my show right now. So I want you

243
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 2>to hear them and you tell me what you think.

244
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 5>Here's they've been killing our people and killing people from

245
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 5>all over the world, and I think we have great support,

246
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 5>and I think if we didn't do it first, and

247
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 5>they would have done it to Israel and give us

248
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 5>a shot if that was possible.

249
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 2>So first up, you got Donald Trump saying that if

250
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>we didn't do it first, they would have done it

251
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 2>to Israel. Did he say that they would have done

252
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it to America?

253
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 3>No, it was Israel.

254
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's shift over to Pete hegset to.

255
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 8>Our steadfast partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with

256
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 8>unmatched skill and iron determination.

257
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hegseth says that your mission is being fought. It's like, yeah,

258
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of the vibe I've been getting. And then

259
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>on last week's episode, I already played you the clip

260
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>of Marco Rubio saying the same thing. So we've got three. Basically,

261
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you can't get any higher. Secretary of State, Department of War,

262
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States, all acknowledging that this threat,

263
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 2>this threat that we it was so imminent and urgent

264
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>that you couldn't go to Congress to get congressional authorization

265
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 2>for this war. It had to be taken, and particularly

266
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 2>the threat was against not America but Israel. So for

267
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the life of me, I don't I don't underst why

268
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 2>this is still such a contentious point. It's so self evident.

269
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>You have the highest levels of power in our government

270
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 2>saying it day in and day out, this is a

271
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>war not to our benefit, but rather on the behalf

272
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>of our ally as they see it in Israel.

273
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 9>What's sad is when the whole world and Americans are

274
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 9>looking at the situation and we know the reason because

275
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.720
<v Speaker 9>you're beholden the dB NET and Yahoo m H.

276
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 3>We don't know why.

277
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 9>We don't know if it's because if you're getting paid allegedly,

278
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 9>We don't know if you're We just know you're compromised

279
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 9>in some way.

280
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Now, far be it for me to agree with Charlotte

281
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>made the God. We rarely agree, But I think that

282
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>this is just more evidence that we've broken containment. Ladies

283
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and gentlemen like this is being discussed in mass This

284
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>is being discussed on both sides of the political aisle,

285
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 2>right wingers, left wingers. Everybody's still having the same conversation.

286
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.360
<v Speaker 2>We are not in control of our government.

287
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 10>You know, the people that are cheering on this war

288
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.679
<v Speaker 10>in Iran, fucking clue why we're there. They don't care.

289
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 10>They're happy to just see violence, you know. They're happy

290
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 10>to see things blow up. They're at a bar in Florida.

291
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 10>They're excited about the Iatola getting whacked. They don't know why,

292
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 10>they don't know what Iran did to them. They're just

293
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 10>happy to see violence and chaos. They don't care that

294
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 10>a Tomahawk missile ripped through a school and killed one

295
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 10>hundred and sixty five people, many of them between the

296
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.639
<v Speaker 10>ages of eight and ten years old. They don't care

297
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 10>because many parts of this country are a moral black hole.

298
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 10>They are a moral black hole where there is no morality.

299
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 10>They're a moral You say, well, they maybe they have

300
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 10>bad morals.

301
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, they have no morals. They're a black hole.

302
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.720
<v Speaker 3>So you may be thinking that Tim.

303
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>Dillon is being a bit hyperbolic just for comedic sake.

304
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, man.

305
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>We got Alex Karp, the eelvolunteer, saying, this is what

306
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 2>our greatest export is at this current stage of empire decline.

307
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 11>So that what makes America special right now is our

308
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.079
<v Speaker 11>lethal capacities, our ability to fight war.

309
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:14.839
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

310
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>One of the top performing stocks in America over the

311
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>past couple of years, Volunteer CIA cut out am I Dad, Yeah,

312
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>He the CEO of that company, says that what makes

313
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>America special is our capacity to essentially export violence, our

314
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 2>capacity to kill people. That's what makes America special at

315
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:40.839
<v Speaker 2>this point, And unfortunately I have to agree. Now, I

316
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.279
<v Speaker 2>don't agree with the positive spin that he's giving it.

317
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Obviously that also helps line his pockets, now, doesn't it. No,

318
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying I tend to agree that that does

319
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 2>seem to be what our primary economic exports are death

320
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>and destruction. And in truth, it's hard to blame the

321
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 2>American people for feeling as if this this is some

322
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>sort of patriotic endeavor when you have talking points like

323
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this coming from Fox News.

324
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>This is a short term disruption for the long term gain,

325
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 1>short term pain for the long term.

326
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Gain, short term pain be for long term gain. We're

327
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 3>gonna have some short term pain with long term gain,

328
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 3>short term pay for a long term gain.

329
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:21.960
<v Speaker 12>Short term pain.

330
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 13>Yes, we've got some long term gain, short term spike

331
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 13>for a long term gain.

332
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 11>Some short term pain for American consumers.

333
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 2>We may have to deal with that in the short term,

334
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>short term and temporary, temporary, short term pain. It's gonna

335
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.799
<v Speaker 2>stuck in the short term, some short term pain, short

336
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>term pain.

337
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 1>We have to focus on the short term, short term,

338
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>short term, short term, short term, and long.

339
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Term short term.

340
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully this is a short term pain. Well, I'm sorry,

341
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.200
<v Speaker 2>that's not just Fox News. That's CNN and MSNBC, and

342
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 2>that's across the board. You remember when CNN and MSNBC

343
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>would pretend to be the enemy of Donald Trump. Well,

344
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that all gets put to the wayside as soon as

345
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 2>a war is a foot, in which case the talking

346
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.599
<v Speaker 2>points circulate and everybody starts to sound like a parrot.

347
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But you might be thinking, well, Clint, I mean, sure,

348
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 2>that may be affecting the older demographics, which still tune

349
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in to conventional cable news, but what about the young.

350
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Certainly they're getting more truthful, hard hitting information, right.

351
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:23.200
<v Speaker 12>I think the way you can look at this this

352
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 12>I haven't heard anyone else say this, but this seems

353
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 12>to me to be the war to end all wars.

354
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 12>I know that that's like bumper stickery and whatever, but

355
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 12>it's the war to say no more of this, no

356
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:40.240
<v Speaker 12>more state sponsored jihadism all over the place, and one end.

357
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 12>Once that happens, Once these countries calm down and things

358
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.519
<v Speaker 12>start turning, and we know the Gulf States are thriving

359
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 12>because they've put aside some of this Jihattis lunacy. People

360
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:55.000
<v Speaker 12>will start being more successful and more successful, flourishing. People

361
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 12>are less inclined to become crazy radicals, and that's not

362
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 12>what the people of Iran want.

363
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:02.839
<v Speaker 3>It is not what they had when they had the

364
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.440
<v Speaker 3>shop Aroun.

365
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a podcast, and he's said, you know, no

366
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.759
<v Speaker 2>one said this yet, but it's the war to end

367
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.359
<v Speaker 2>all wars. You know, you know where that phrase comes from.

368
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Since he said no one said it yet, that would

369
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:19.119
<v Speaker 2>be HG. Wells in nineteen fourteen describing World War One. Yeah,

370
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:24.240
<v Speaker 2>you're right, that was the first of many, many wars

371
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 2>of actually a war of century, of total war, which

372
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is what the nineteen hundreds were. That was the war

373
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to end all wars that began the twentieth century, and

374
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:38.200
<v Speaker 2>we just had wars consistently throughout. Big news coming out

375
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 2>on silver right now. The US just added silver to

376
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the critical Minerals list. What does that mean? This is

377
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.799
<v Speaker 2>an important list of minerals that are considered crucial not

378
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 2>just for security, but also for economic reason. So when

379
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 2>you buy silver to help protect your savings, you're also

380
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>buying a critical mineral really necessary for our economics, surviob.

381

392
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>thinking to yourself, surely Ben Shapiro has learned his lesson

393
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>after supporting the Iraq war, in the Afghanistan War, the

394
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.279
<v Speaker 2>tire global.

395
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.599
<v Speaker 3>War and tear. No.

396
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 2>No, he hasn't, and I can tell you why. Because

397
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this war is to benefit Israel, which is his true

398
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 2>passion in life. So that's why he's getting this one

399
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>wrong yet again, you saw thirty two thousand people shot

400
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>in the streets.

401
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.039
<v Speaker 14>I know that we're supposed to forget about all that

402
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 14>because opponents of the war, as we'll get to, are

403
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 14>very very upset about a girls school that got hit

404
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.720
<v Speaker 14>in the war. And then we're supposed totally present that

405
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 14>the Iranians don't slaughter innocent Iranians at the rate of

406
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.079
<v Speaker 14>tens of thousands the minute they pop their heads out

407
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 14>of the ground. The Kurds, for example, live on the

408
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.519
<v Speaker 14>eastern side of the border with Iraqs. You have Iraqi

409
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 14>Curds on one side, Iranian Curds on the other. We

410
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 14>could see serious incursions into Iran from both Azerbaijan and

411
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:21.039
<v Speaker 14>from Iraqi Kurdistan by Iranian Kurds, and if that happened,

412
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 14>there would be a serious challenge to IRGC forces. Those

413
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 14>forces are now isolated from Iran because of the fracturing

414
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:31.960
<v Speaker 14>of the IRGC leadership class. Basically, with the destruction of

415
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:35.440
<v Speaker 14>the top levels of the IRGC, the lines of command

416
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 14>have now broken down and you have specific IRGC areas

417
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 14>governed by specific IRGC commanders, and so the entire structure

418
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 14>could begin to collapse piece by piece, and if that happens,

419
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:46.960
<v Speaker 14>then more and more Iranians in the center of the

420
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.680
<v Speaker 14>country will understand that the moment has come for action,

421
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:52.920
<v Speaker 14>and finally the United States could simply bomb until the

422
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:53.480
<v Speaker 14>bombing is done.

423
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you, I'm not guessing at Ben Shapiro

424
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>being wrong. We already know he's wrong because in that

425
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.599
<v Speaker 2>monologue he says that there is an expectation or potentiality

426
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the Kurds, after having been betrayed by the United States

427
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.799
<v Speaker 2>of America and undoubtedly by Israel as well, have already announced. Yeah,

428
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.480
<v Speaker 2>we're not falling for that again. You guys pulled the

429
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 2>rug on us in Iraq. You pulled the rug on

430
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 2>us in Syria. We're not going into Iran on your behalf,

431
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 2>no think, but certainly we can rely on the left

432
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 2>wing to get this right. He's basically saying, listen, we're Christians.

433
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to defend these Jews at all. Their

434
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Holy Book is irrelevant to us. It's just barbarism in there.

435
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Does Israel have the right to that land because you're

436
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 1>appealing to Genesis, You're saying that's the original deed.

437
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:42.839
<v Speaker 3>It would be fine if they took it all.

438
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 11>I mean, I thought that was fascinating and well worth watching.

439
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.880
<v Speaker 11>And the way he went after Huckabee based on a

440
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker 11>differentiation between the New Testament and the Old Testament. He's

441
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 11>basically saying, listen, we're Christians. We don't have to care

442
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 11>about the Old Testament at all. Right, there's a lot

443
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 11>of barbarism in there. He went after the whole Amlachite business.

444
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:06.039
<v Speaker 11>You know, that's just that's just genocide, right, Like, listen,

445
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.240
<v Speaker 11>we don't we don't need we don't need it to

446
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 11>defend these Jews at all. Their Holy Book is irrelevant

447
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 11>to us. It's just barbarism in there. Christ is king.

448
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 11>All we have to care about is Jesus.

449
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.359
<v Speaker 2>So you have to believe that the Democrat voting Sam Harris,

450
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 2>who's also an atheist ethnically Jewish but atheist, he would

451
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:31.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously find Mike Huckabee's position that Israel has a right

452
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to the entirety of the Middle East to be laughably

453
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 2>absurd because he's an atheist, he doesn't believe in the Bible.

454
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.519
<v Speaker 2>There's no way he could think that Huckaby is in

455
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the right. He would have to decide with Hucker Carlson.

456
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 2>He would have to no, no, he doesn't because at

457
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, despite calling himself an atheist,

458
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 2>there is no person on earth that Sam Harris hates

459
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.359
<v Speaker 2>more than Muslims. Because there has never been a war

460
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East that Sam Harris didn't support, literally never.

461
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>But we haven't ran out of hope yet. I mean,

462
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure, I'm sure given how much Bill Maher hates

463
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, he's got to be opposed to this right.

464
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 6>Also this week war did you hear about that thing?

465
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 6>And we bombed Iran and it's going on now? Have

466
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 6>you expected me to say I hate it? I don't. Sorry,

467
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 6>when he puts boots on the ground, yeah, that I'll

468
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 6>hate it now I know too many happy Iranian Americans. Sorry,

469
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:36.400
<v Speaker 6>And you cannot name one horrible thing that has happened

470
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 6>in the Middle East in the last fifty years and

471
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 6>not connected to this fascist theocracy.

472
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Bill Maher says there that you can't name one tradge,

473
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>one bad thing that's happened in the Middle East that

474
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't connect her. I run, okay, how about the Iraq War,

475
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>the Afghanistan War, Gaza Lebanon.

476
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, sure, you get the look.

477
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:01.039
<v Speaker 2>All I'm saying is that is such an unbelievably bias position.

478
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Again coming from an atheist allegedly who obviously is as

479
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>bloodthirsty as anybody on the right wing, you will find

480
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 2>basically sounds like Lindsay Grant. And what makes this worse

481
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:17.359
<v Speaker 2>and more irritating, Despite the fact that we've now got

482
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty plus years of just disastrous quagmires in the Middle East,

483
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you still have this incredibly short term analysis that people

484
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 2>are putting forward. We're just going to drop bombs and

485
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>then we'll go home and everything will be fine. Well,

486
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.640
<v Speaker 2>here's the problem. Bill Trump today alone has said that

487
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.319
<v Speaker 2>we have now wiped out Iran's complete one hundred percent

488
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.839
<v Speaker 2>of their military capability. He then followed up in the

489
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>same post saying that the straightuh Hormuze needs to be

490
00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:54.319
<v Speaker 2>reopened by the people who use it, to which I say,

491
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:58.400
<v Speaker 2>if Iran has been one hundred percent militarily defeated, then

492
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 2>why do we need any assistance. Trump thing goes on

493
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to say that he wants the Europeans to help, he

494
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 2>wants the Chinese to help. The Chinese are not going

495
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.640
<v Speaker 2>to help. We have already kicked the hornets nest. It's

496
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>like when your enemy's making mistake, don't stop them. That's

497
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 2>how they view what we're doing here. So obviously they're

498
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>not going to assist. But moreover, the obvious real lesson here,

499
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.160
<v Speaker 2>or the real truth here, is that Donald Trump is lying.

500
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>If Iran has been one hundred percent militarily defeated, you

501
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 2>don't need to be posting and asking for help by

502
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.480
<v Speaker 2>anybody else. You don't need help, especially with Trump. You

503
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 2>know he would love to take a victory lap. We

504
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 2>did this all on our own, and da dah dah,

505
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and we're just the best. We're the best. And it's

506
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:40.279
<v Speaker 2>over in two weeks and it was in and out.

507
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:45.799
<v Speaker 2>We're done. Additionally, we've now deployed five thousand marines to

508
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the region, which are likely going to be used to

509
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:53.119
<v Speaker 2>try and free up the straight of hormones. Now, if

510
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Iran's been defeated, you certainly don't need five thousand marines

511
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to release the blockade, right, it should be easily done

512
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>with a dozen people.

513
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 3>Nope, And here's the problem.

514
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 2>In June of twenty twenty five, right before we decided

515
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>to bomb their nuclear facilities, we were in negotiation with

516
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>the Iranians and they were at the negotiating table with US,

517
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and it seemed as if there was a potentiality for

518
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>a real agreement that essentially lifted the sanctions that have

519
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 2>been crippling Iron economically for years now, probably a decade,

520
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and in return they would either allow for inspections again

521
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 2>or give up their medium enriched uranium. And during that process, yeah,

522
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we hit them hard. Now you fast forward to February

523
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty six, just last month, just a couple

524
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago. Again we are at the negotiating table.

525
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>This time because the Iranians have already realized that we

526
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>will kill them. In the middle of negotiating, they have

527
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the Omanians, I don't know if that's what you call

528
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 2>the oman Is being used as intermediary to try and

529
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:01.359
<v Speaker 2>negotiate peace, and the representatives from Oma just the day

530
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.039
<v Speaker 2>before we take out their leader and their top fifty

531
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.960
<v Speaker 2>leadership and bombed the living hell out of them. Oman says.

532
00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Iran has agreed to everything. They're ready to roll. All

533
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:16.079
<v Speaker 2>they want is to maintain a basically a civilian level

534
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>nuclear facility for medicine and whatnot.

535
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 3>But nope, we bombed the hell out of them.

536
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 2>And what has come out since then is that it

537
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:28.279
<v Speaker 2>was Kushner, Jared Kushner who had Netanyahu's sleeping in his

538
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.920
<v Speaker 2>bed as a child. Little conflict of interests, I'd say there,

539
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>as well as Steve Whitkoff, who was the lead envoy

540
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.839
<v Speaker 2>negotiator with the Iranians, and the Iranians now believe that

541
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.960
<v Speaker 2>they were basically shivved, They were stabbed in the back

542
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:50.799
<v Speaker 2>well believing that negotiating towards a peace settlement was a possibility.

543
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.599
<v Speaker 3>In fact it was not that. In fact, this was

544
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.799
<v Speaker 3>headed to war no matter what.

545
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:58.279
<v Speaker 2>So here's the problem, just from a purely like setting

546
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>judgments aside here and just analyze this with me under

547
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 2>a game theory framework. If you are negotiating with someone

548
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and you know that they might kill you mid negotiation,

549
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 2>can you take them seriously about anything? The answer is no.

550
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:17.039
<v Speaker 2>And that is where the Iranians and honestly the rest

551
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 2>of the world is now feeling and having to reassess

552
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and interact with America under the presumption that you are

553
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>not a good faith actor, that in fact you are

554
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 2>just setting us up to be murdered. So under that paradigm,

555
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>that means that peace negotiations cannot be fruitful because you

556
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 2>cannot trust anything that America or Israel has to say,

557
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>which is obviously the rational position to hold. And it's

558
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 2>unfortunate because this is oftentimes how we're told to perceive

559
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the Iranians, that they're irrational, that they're prepared to blow

560
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.680
<v Speaker 2>up their entire country as long as it injures one

561
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.799
<v Speaker 2>American or one Israeli. And it's like, well, who's the

562
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.319
<v Speaker 2>irrational actor? If our side is the one who's willing

563
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>to murder our negotiation partners mid negotiation and bomb the

564
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 2>hell out of a country mid negotiation, well then who's

565
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the irrational one? Who's the one that's reckless? I would argue,

566
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.640
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty clearly US. So now, under game theory, the

567
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 2>only thing that you have, the only chip or card

568
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 2>you have to play, given that you are terribly out manned,

569
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>but you do have very difficult terrain to invade.

570
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:26.400
<v Speaker 3>You have a capacity to.

571
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.359
<v Speaker 2>Defend yourself, but you don't have really any capacity to

572
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.559
<v Speaker 2>harm America, at least not on our homeland. The only

573
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.400
<v Speaker 2>card that the Iranians are left to play is to

574
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>close the Straight of Hormones, which today they announced that

575
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>they will be closing it for at minimum three months

576
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>now as I've already told you guys in prior episodes

577
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 2>the straight of hormz is responsible for thirty percent of

578
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the oil transit of the world every single day. So

579
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.119
<v Speaker 2>if Trump is lying about his capacity to open up

580
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the straight of hormones, that means we are in for

581
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:02.440
<v Speaker 2>a world of hurt economically, like catastrophic. We're talking two

582
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred plus dollars per barrel of oil, which would have

583
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 2>cascading effects throughout not just our stock market, but through

584
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the global economy, but through every single product we buy because,

585
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 2>as you probably are aware, so much of what we

586
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>consume has oil in it or in the production of it.

587
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.079
<v Speaker 2>But here's the tragedy. This is the only card iran

588
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.799
<v Speaker 2>has to play. If you recognize that your negotiating partner

589
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:29.400
<v Speaker 2>cannot be reasoned with, the only card they have to

590
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:33.839
<v Speaker 2>play is to make it so painful for us, you

591
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and I, the people who don't even support this war,

592
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 2>to make it politically untenable for them Trump, whitcof, Kushner,

593
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the Israelis to ever do this again. That is the

594
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 2>only leverage they have. The Iranians have to punish us

595
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 2>economically to try and defend themselves militarily. And I think

596
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what they're going to do.

597
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 8>The only thing prohibiting transit in the Straits right now

598
00:32:58.319 --> 00:32:59.920
<v Speaker 8>is Iran shooting at shipping.

599
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 3>It is open for transit. Should Iran not do that?

600
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 2>So in short, despite that word salad, yeah or fucked,

601
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 2>they don't actually have a plan for this. And in fact,

602
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the Trump was warned by one of his top generals

603
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 2>don't do this, that they will obviously shut down the

604
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Straight of Hormoz. And guess what, According to I think

605
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:23.880
<v Speaker 2>it was a Washington Post I read the article from

606
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump said, I believe that we will beat them so

607
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 2>badly with this surgical strike, this decapitation strike. We take

608
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.960
<v Speaker 2>out their top fifty leadership. Obviously command and control will fall,

609
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the people will rise up. There will be no moment

610
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>at which Iran is still standing by which they can

611
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.200
<v Speaker 2>give orders to shut down the Straight of Hormoz. This

612
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.480
<v Speaker 2>is honestly what Trump thought. That was wrong, And I'll

613
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>tell you how stupid this is. This is a true story.

614
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:53.839
<v Speaker 2>George Bush, George HW. Bush, the Junior in two thousand

615
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and three, when they were talking about you know, Iraq, Afghanistan,

616
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Iran as potential arenas for war George Bush was smart

617
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 2>enough to say, yeah, Iranza no goes on because of

618
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the straight or horror moves, primarily also because of the

619
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 2>mountainous regions and making it impossible for a ground invasion.

620
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.159
<v Speaker 3>It's just ultimately suicide.

621
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 2>There was top generals at that point that we're threatening

622
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:18.639
<v Speaker 2>to resign over it, to resign over plans of a

623
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:21.599
<v Speaker 2>ground invasion into Iran. So this is a dead end

624
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and our military brass has known that for decades.

625
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:26.800
<v Speaker 3>And this is going to be complicated.

626
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>But I want to explain it to you guys, because

627
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I had an opportunity to respond to Thadeus Russell about

628
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:35.079
<v Speaker 2>this a couple hours ago, and it's just it's very complex,

629
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.119
<v Speaker 2>but it's also I think it's very rational and logical.

630
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 2>So let me tell you what I think is happening

631
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:43.079
<v Speaker 2>and why. But it's important to understand how the empire

632
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.360
<v Speaker 2>actually functions. The American Empire is clearly a real thing,

633
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 2>but it's not so much a physical empire in that,

634
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, like the Greeks of the Romans, Like we're

635
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 2>going around and we're actually putting boots on the ground

636
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:59.360
<v Speaker 2>and we're conquering every square inch of land that we control.

637
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.039
<v Speaker 2>How our modern empire works. Our modern empire functions under

638
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.480
<v Speaker 2>a more soft power, even though it's oftentimes brutal, but

639
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 2>it's it's considered soft power. Sanctions, CIA, USAID funding, opposition parties,

640
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 2>things of that nature. The more kind of less it's

641
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.360
<v Speaker 2>not less overt. We're not actually just putting five hundred

642
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.880
<v Speaker 2>thousand troops and invading a country like Ukraine, for instance.

643
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Our overthrow was done without troops or very minimal troops.

644
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 2>And then the other tier of soft power would be

645
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.599
<v Speaker 2>that we negotiate with other countries, offering security guarantees or

646
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:40.719
<v Speaker 2>financial assistance, like, for instance, we give a ton of

647
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>money to a bunch of Muslim countries to get along

648
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 2>with Israel. We also have offered security guarantees to many

649
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Muslim countries to get along with Israel. I know, it's

650
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>an interesting trend that keeps popping up over and over again.

651
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Like Donald Trump in his first term, I've heard Timpoole

652
00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and a bunch of people, you know, give a lot

653
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.719
<v Speaker 2>of credit to Trump for the Abrahamacords. But what really

654
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:04.400
<v Speaker 2>were the Abrahamic Coords? In my estimation, it was not

655
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 2>so much about peace in the Middle East. It was

656
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>about getting everybody in the Middle East who was oppositional

657
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to Israel to be under our thumb so that they

658
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.119
<v Speaker 2>would allow for Israel to do what they did in Gaza,

659
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 2>to do what they're now doing in Iran, which is

660
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.800
<v Speaker 2>why we took out Iraq, why we took out Afghanistan

661
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:28.039
<v Speaker 2>and Libya and Syria. Is that this is about another empire,

662
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>an empire that is not our own, that does not,

663
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:33.639
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, benefit us at all. Now I'll explain

664
00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:36.199
<v Speaker 2>that in a second, but the key thing to understand is,

665
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 2>as I said, our empire is not so much physical

666
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.639
<v Speaker 2>as much as it is coercive, as much as it

667
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 2>is financial in nature. We use bribery, we use protection

668
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>rackets to get people to do our bidding. So we

669
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:51.639
<v Speaker 2>don't control the entire world, but we control most of

670
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 2>the world with this mechanism. And the underlying mechanism by

671
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:00.400
<v Speaker 2>which we control is that we are the global reserve currency.

672
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>We're able to print money that has maximal purchasing power

673
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:07.000
<v Speaker 2>domestically and diminishing power as it gets pushed out into

674
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.639
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the world. But the rest of the

675
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:11.679
<v Speaker 2>world is required to use it because we'll kill you

676
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>if you don't. So it's certainly an empire, but it's

677
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 2>a modern variation of it. However, the reason I believe

678
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that our empire is being sacrificed right now is for

679
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:26.039
<v Speaker 2>another empire, an empire that is physical in nature, an

680
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:31.599
<v Speaker 2>empire of expansion, an empire specifically for Israel, not even

681
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.679
<v Speaker 2>for America, and it is very physical. And I'm not

682
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.519
<v Speaker 2>just talking about Gozla or the West Bank, but also

683
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.880
<v Speaker 2>portions of Lebanon and Yemen and probably Iraq, possibly Iran,

684
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure at that point at this point, but

685
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Syria for sure. So in short, to put a tidy

686
00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:51.159
<v Speaker 2>little ball on this, what I believe is happening is

687
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>that we are jeopardizing our empire because as of today,

688
00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the Iranians have announced that they are willing to allow

689
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.599
<v Speaker 2>ships to sail through the straight oh Hormoz as long

690
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.840
<v Speaker 2>as they are selling that oil or gas in Yuan. Yeah,

691
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 2>that's a problem because that means that they are essentially

692
00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:16.039
<v Speaker 2>blockading anything that goes through there that is being transited

693
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:19.679
<v Speaker 2>or sold via the US dollar, which means that the

694
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Petro dollar reserve status is kind of massively under threat.

695
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.920
<v Speaker 2>The orionions, however you want to feel about them, are

696
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:30.760
<v Speaker 2>playing for keeps. They're playing hardball and they're playing smart.

697
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly the lever of pressure that you would

698
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>want to apply to an empire if you were trying

699
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to defeat them. Sure, we don't have the power to

700
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 2>strike you domestically, but we have the power to undermine

701
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 2>your entire shit, your entire operation. Bro Like, that's about

702
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 2>as hardball as it gets. So in summary, we are

703
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:58.840
<v Speaker 2>trading our soft power, dollar based empire on behalf of

704
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Israel burgeoning physical empire in their region, their expansionary programs,

705
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 2>and that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you would have

706
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.159
<v Speaker 2>someone like Miriam Adelson polling up two hundred and fifty

707
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:14.159
<v Speaker 2>million dollars to put Trump into power.

708
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.760
<v Speaker 3>And this is the payoff.

709
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:17.159
<v Speaker 10>Now.

710
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.360
<v Speaker 2>As I covered on the prior episode, there is massive

711
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 2>suppression that's going on, not just from social media algorithms,

712
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>but also on the ground. It is illegal to post

713
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>footage or most footage within Israel of strikes that are

714
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:33.559
<v Speaker 2>landing from Iran. There's also been a total internet blackout

715
00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 2>within Iran, probably because they're afraid of subterfuge, cyber attacks,

716
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.079
<v Speaker 2>things of that nature, but also to suppress dissidence that

717
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:43.639
<v Speaker 2>might rise up against them. But regardless, it's made it

718
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 2>almost impossible to get any footage of what's actually happening there.

719
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:50.719
<v Speaker 2>We've also gotten virtually no footage of all of the

720
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 2>damage that's been happening to American basis throughout the region,

721
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:55.559
<v Speaker 2>even though we now know that there's been at minimum

722
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:59.400
<v Speaker 2>thirteen KIA on the American side. But there was something

723
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:03.000
<v Speaker 2>that took place yesterday that people Most people didn't even

724
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:05.920
<v Speaker 2>know what happened, but those that did take notice understood

725
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:08.840
<v Speaker 2>that this could be something very, very big. This is

726
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Scott Besson.

727
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:21.840
<v Speaker 3>I listened to you on the oh okay okay to

728
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.360
<v Speaker 3>see short as the Secretary missus s.

729
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.119
<v Speaker 13>I have to say it's a first, I'm sure a

730
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:34.760
<v Speaker 13>loss as well that an interview. He's been pulled away

731
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.960
<v Speaker 13>to go to the situation room. How was the President

732
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.960
<v Speaker 13>was he was? He stressed, Uh No, the President is

733
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:48.199
<v Speaker 13>in great spirits. The Iranian mission is proceeding well ahead

734
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.239
<v Speaker 13>of schedule. And you know, I have to tell you

735
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:58.840
<v Speaker 13>well that I've a teenage teenager who's considering a military service,

736
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 13>and I could give this team my highest compliment from

737
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:05.679
<v Speaker 13>President Trump to the head of the Joint Chiefs, to

738
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.719
<v Speaker 13>the Secretary of War, I would say that I would

739
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:13.039
<v Speaker 13>trust my child's life in their hands.

740
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, for those that aren't familiar with Scott Assent, he's

741
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:21.679
<v Speaker 2>our Treasury secretary, like top economic advisor basically to President Trump.

742
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.000
<v Speaker 2>So if you're not familiar with him, you probably don't

743
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 2>know how he normally speaks. He doesn't speak like that.

744
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:32.199
<v Speaker 2>He was shaken, like deeply shaken, and to have him

745
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.079
<v Speaker 2>pulled mid interview tells you that it was something urgent.

746
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:39.079
<v Speaker 2>To put it mildly right, you don't pull one of

747
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:43.280
<v Speaker 2>your top spokespeople from an interview unless it's mandatory, and

748
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.559
<v Speaker 2>they said it was mandatory. So he gets pulled aside,

749
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:48.719
<v Speaker 2>he comes back hours later and he is like, clearly,

750
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:52.000
<v Speaker 2>like why does it goes shaken? So there's two possibilities

751
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:54.519
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion. One and unfortunately, I don't know what

752
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 2>he said to that interviewer prior. Maybe he said something

753
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:01.079
<v Speaker 2>that Trump didn't like, so he just went back there,

754
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.320
<v Speaker 2>got his ass chewed out, and then came back out

755
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and was all shaken, and that's why he conveyed it

756
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:06.679
<v Speaker 2>in that fashion.

757
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:07.679
<v Speaker 3>It's possible.

758
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:10.199
<v Speaker 2>The other possibility, and this is a very interesting one,

759
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:13.440
<v Speaker 2>since that moment bib Netnaw, who has not been seen.

760
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's true.

761
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Also was another Israeli intelligence meeting or briefing today which

762
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:25.960
<v Speaker 2>bib Netnyaw, who always attends, wasn't there. There was also

763
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 2>a press conference from net Yahoo that came out yesterday

764
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that people are pointing out that he had six fingers,

765
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:36.559
<v Speaker 2>that he was missing teeth in one of the frames,

766
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're very theorizing that it was Ai. So it

767
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:43.320
<v Speaker 2>makes you wonder. It really does make you wonder if

768
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Netnyaho was taken out by Iran and that they are

769
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:47.239
<v Speaker 2>covering it up for.

770
00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what purpose you would cover up.

771
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess to try and negotiate an exit strategy maybe

772
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.679
<v Speaker 2>or to find an air apparent.

773
00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:56.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

774
00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Now Today Israel denied it and they say that Netnya,

775
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:03.800
<v Speaker 2>who's fine. Okay, maybe, But regardless of whether or not

776
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that actually has happened, I still think it's really telling

777
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.840
<v Speaker 2>that you would have a moment where the Treasury secretary

778
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:12.800
<v Speaker 2>would be pulled aside and then come back.

779
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Why does it ghosts stumbling.

780
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Over his words obviously like shaken and looked like he

781
00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:21.039
<v Speaker 2>was scared to death, And then you got to really

782
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:23.599
<v Speaker 2>like rewind back and listen to what he said. He says,

783
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I just want to say that I would my son

784
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.800
<v Speaker 2>is of age for the military, and I would be

785
00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 2>proud to have him, you know, under the command of

786
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Pete hag Sath or Donald Trump or whatever.

787
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:37.000
<v Speaker 3>It's like.

788
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:41.000
<v Speaker 2>That was like a Fieldy test to end all Fielty tests,

789
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like you, hey, will you let us risk your son's life?

790
00:43:46.039 --> 00:43:48.199
<v Speaker 2>And he's like yeah, And he's saying that in a

791
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 2>very shaken fashion. So something to you know, pay attention

792
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.760
<v Speaker 2>to is that there is real stress right now. And

793
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that it belies the fact that Trump is

794
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:01.559
<v Speaker 2>pretending we've already won this war. It's only been two weeks.

795
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.880
<v Speaker 2>There are one hundred percent militarily destroyed. You know, everything's

796
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.559
<v Speaker 2>going great, and there's short term pain for some long

797
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:12.079
<v Speaker 2>term gain, right, I think not now. I'm not rooting

798
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.599
<v Speaker 2>against us, as I've said many times, I am critical

799
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:18.400
<v Speaker 2>of Donald Trump and the Trump administration because I love

800
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:21.480
<v Speaker 2>this country and because I want us to succeed and

801
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:26.440
<v Speaker 2>prevail and be prosperous and free and peaceful. But the

802
00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:28.760
<v Speaker 2>reason I'm critical is because we're not being any of

803
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.800
<v Speaker 2>those things. The dollar is dying as a consequence of

804
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:34.719
<v Speaker 2>our empire. The empire is dying as a consequence of

805
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 2>our relationship to Israel, and some of the opposition to

806
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.480
<v Speaker 2>these wars has also been dying. And I'll maybe get

807
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:42.960
<v Speaker 2>into that in my next episode. That would be Charlie

808
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Kirk and I actually had this conversation with my mom

809
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.960
<v Speaker 2>down at the pool today. We were talking about, you know,

810
00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:51.039
<v Speaker 2>whether or not Trump is still on our side, because

811
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:54.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, she wants to believe or she's she wants

812
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to she's hopeful, and some of the pushbacks she gave

813
00:44:56.519 --> 00:45:00.239
<v Speaker 2>me on some of my criticisms was like, well, there

814
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.159
<v Speaker 2>are certain things that Trump can do and other things

815
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that he can't, So we just have to hope basically

816
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.679
<v Speaker 2>a limited capacity of what he can endeavor to accomplish.

817
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So we just have to hope that some of the

818
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:14.960
<v Speaker 2>things that he endeavors to accomplish will be to our benefit.

819
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:17.800
<v Speaker 2>And what I expressed to her is that, well, I

820
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:21.400
<v Speaker 2>have no animosity towards Jewish people. It is so evident

821
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to me at this junction that, yeah, I agree with

822
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:26.920
<v Speaker 2>her that there is a limited amount of capacity of

823
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.599
<v Speaker 2>things that you're going to be able to accomplish, particularly

824
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.039
<v Speaker 2>in the first year or two of your presidency, and

825
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have to pick and choose. So which

826
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:36.760
<v Speaker 2>are you going to pick and choose? And what I

827
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:40.519
<v Speaker 2>think most Trump supporters are realizing at this point, or

828
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:43.800
<v Speaker 2>at least a good chunk of them are realizing, is that, yes,

829
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:46.320
<v Speaker 2>he has limited things that he can accomplish, and the

830
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>only things that he's really focusing on accomplishing are to

831
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the benefit of Israel, not America. When it comes to deportations,

832
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.239
<v Speaker 2>he says, you know, we're going to do mass deportations.

833
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Then it looks as if he's not even going to

834
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:03.639
<v Speaker 2>surpass Barack Obama's deportation figures. And why is he not

835
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:08.119
<v Speaker 2>going to surpass Obama? Well, because it's politically untenable. But

836
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 2>then you have to ask yourself, Wait a second, the

837
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:17.519
<v Speaker 2>war in Iran is super unpopular, way more unpopular than deportations.

838
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.519
<v Speaker 2>But you can still do that. Oh, but whose interest

839
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.679
<v Speaker 2>is that in? Oh, that's in the interest of Israel

840
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:28.639
<v Speaker 2>or Ariam Adelson or your donor class more broadly. And

841
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:32.079
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh, suddenly, suddenly the things that aren't popular

842
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:35.440
<v Speaker 2>get done if it's to the benefit of your donors.

843
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:39.679
<v Speaker 2>But if it's unpopular and it's to the benefit of Americans.

844
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:43.079
<v Speaker 2>You can't get it done all right, then you start

845
00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:46.679
<v Speaker 2>to recognize like, oh, well, then clearly you're not on

846
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.320
<v Speaker 2>our side. Because if there is a limited amount of

847
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 2>things that you can accomplish and you are opting to

848
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 2>not do the things that you promised us, like not

849
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.039
<v Speaker 2>more wars in the Middle East, and it said you're

850
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.239
<v Speaker 2>delivering more wars in the Middle East on behalf of

851
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:05.159
<v Speaker 2>your donors, Well, then you have completely abdicated your duty

852
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to your voters, to your supporters. And as I've said,

853
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the reason I approach this with such urgency, the reason

854
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel this betrayal so deeply, is that we needed

855
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:20.159
<v Speaker 2>a hero. Thirty nine trillion in debt is a hiccup away.

856
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:22.719
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be forty trillion deep in the hole

857
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:25.960
<v Speaker 2>by the end of this year. There is no time

858
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:28.599
<v Speaker 2>for fuck ups. There is no time for games or

859
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 2>mistakes or selling out or being a fraud, none of that.

860
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:35.360
<v Speaker 2>You have to be real right now. And if you're

861
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 2>not real, I'm gonna hold your feet to the fire.

862
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I know that this is viable, the

863
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:41.679
<v Speaker 2>reason I know that this is valuable is because Donald

864
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Trump is He is surrounded by yes men. He is

865
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.239
<v Speaker 2>surround his voting base. The rider dies are largely sycophantic.

866
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:54.360
<v Speaker 2>They largely just praise him. Anytime he makes a mistake.

867
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It's five d chess. Oh, you just don't understand he's

868
00:47:56.840 --> 00:47:58.960
<v Speaker 2>actually going to be doing this. Oh you think that

869
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in the short term this is a problem, But long

870
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:02.320
<v Speaker 2>term he's going after Fauci.

871
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Right, No, he's not so. At his core.

872
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:10.039
<v Speaker 2>What drives Donald Trump Well, in my opinion, there's a

873
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:13.360
<v Speaker 2>distinct possibility he's being driven by his survival instincts, that

874
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.199
<v Speaker 2>he's actually under threat. As Brett Weisen talked to Tucker

875
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Carlson about yesterday, the golden.

876
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:23.280
<v Speaker 8>Pager that was given to President Trump strikes me as

877
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:28.840
<v Speaker 8>another raw shock test, just like Babe's statement after Charlie

878
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:33.719
<v Speaker 8>Kirk's murder. You can read it into totally different ways, right.

879
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:36.400
<v Speaker 8>The normal way to read it is that.

880
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:37.840
<v Speaker 3>This was maybe a.

881
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:45.519
<v Speaker 8>Tasteless celebration of a successful operation and YadA, YadA, YadA.

882
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:50.800
<v Speaker 8>On the other hand, it can obviously be read as

883
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:53.400
<v Speaker 8>a threat. I can imagine the meeting in which somebody says, hey,

884
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:56.320
<v Speaker 8>maybe we should send President Trump a golden pager after

885
00:48:56.400 --> 00:49:00.199
<v Speaker 8>our successful operation somebody should immediately shoot that idea down

886
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:04.199
<v Speaker 8>and say no, we can't do that because it could

887
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 8>be read in another way.

888
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:06.079
<v Speaker 3>Right.

889
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.760
<v Speaker 8>So, anyway, as we are struggling to understand what is

890
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:13.000
<v Speaker 8>taking place in our country, why it was received that

891
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:13.480
<v Speaker 8>way too?

892
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:14.639
<v Speaker 13>You do? I do?

893
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:18.440
<v Speaker 8>Well, you're not making me feel better.

894
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:24.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, come on now, come on right? You know, yeah,

895
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:26.960
<v Speaker 3>what was that?

896
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:27.199
<v Speaker 7>Now?

897
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It's important for you to remember that Tucker Crosson, prior

898
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 2>to about two weeks ago when the war started, had

899
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.440
<v Speaker 2>a really good relationship with Donald Trump. So when Tucker

900
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Crolson says, yeah, I think it was received that way

901
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.000
<v Speaker 2>in as a threat, that's fascinating. That should be front

902
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:47.559
<v Speaker 2>page news nationwide. So in my view, there were two possibilities.

903
00:49:48.079 --> 00:49:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Either a Donald Trump is under mortal threat and there's

904
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.280
<v Speaker 2>literally nothing he can do to get out of this

905
00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and he's just trying to keep him and his family

906
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:01.639
<v Speaker 2>alive possible. Or B, and I am coin flip on this,

907
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I really don't know which it is. Is that his

908
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:10.920
<v Speaker 2>ego has been satiated by the pro Zionist orbiters around him.

909
00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:14.400
<v Speaker 2>They've convinced him that he's some sort of messianic figure

910
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:15.280
<v Speaker 2>within Judaism.

911
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:15.880
<v Speaker 3>This is true.

912
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:19.840
<v Speaker 2>They say this constantly. You've got Mark Levin constantly saying

913
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 2>he's the first Jewish president. You've got Lindsey Graham saying

914
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:26.079
<v Speaker 2>he's reagen plus plus plus and blah blah blah, and

915
00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:28.119
<v Speaker 2>the more bombs he drops, the more patriotic and the

916
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.960
<v Speaker 2>more George Washington he is. And this is purely an

917
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:34.719
<v Speaker 2>ego play that they have found a way to manipulate

918
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump based off of ego. So we've got two possibilities.

919
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:41.599
<v Speaker 2>As I said, mortal threat or it's an ego play.

920
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 2>So as far as I'm concerned, there's not much I

921
00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:46.599
<v Speaker 2>can do. If this is a mortal threat thing and

922
00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Trump is just trying to survive his presidency and get

923
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:51.519
<v Speaker 2>out and keep his family alive, well then how am

924
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I going to convince him of anything?

925
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 3>Right?

926
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:56.039
<v Speaker 2>But if it is an ego play, if he is

927
00:50:56.119 --> 00:50:58.480
<v Speaker 2>selling us out based off of him being manipulated by

928
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:02.639
<v Speaker 2>his advisors, well then the alternative ego attack that we

929
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.920
<v Speaker 2>have is to not inflate his ego, to call out

930
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.719
<v Speaker 2>as loudly as possible that you are betraying us, and

931
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:15.280
<v Speaker 2>your legacy will be one of betrayal. And we expected

932
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:17.239
<v Speaker 2>you to be the hero that you marketed yourself to

933
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.519
<v Speaker 2>be and you're not that, and every fucking street corner

934
00:51:20.599 --> 00:51:24.480
<v Speaker 2>you walk down in America you're going to be yelled

935
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:29.079
<v Speaker 2>at for that exact purpose that we know exactly who

936
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.519
<v Speaker 2>you are and what you did, and that you are

937
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:34.960
<v Speaker 2>a coward and a trader to this country. Or you

938
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:37.119
<v Speaker 2>can be the hero that you marketed yourself to be.

939
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:39.679
<v Speaker 2>You can disclose the Epstein files, you can end the

940
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:44.000
<v Speaker 2>endless wars, you can go after Fauci and the entire

941
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:47.039
<v Speaker 2>deep state, the FBI that tried to kill you, probably

942
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>like you can do all of these things, or you

943
00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:54.679
<v Speaker 2>go down as the greatest what if in history? What

944
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:56.960
<v Speaker 2>if you had had courage, What if you had been honest?

945
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.039
<v Speaker 2>What if you would actually pursued the things that you promised. So,

946
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.679
<v Speaker 2>if it's an ego play, we go after his legacy.

947
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.880
<v Speaker 2>We say you either deliver or you are reviled. Those

948
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:10.400
<v Speaker 2>are your options. Be a hero, be lauded, be loved,

949
00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:15.599
<v Speaker 2>or be a villain, be yelled at, be hated. So well,

950
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:18.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously I'm just driven by truthful analysis of what I

951
00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:23.039
<v Speaker 2>see happening. There's also tactical reasoning to the approach that

952
00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:25.679
<v Speaker 2>I have is that I believe that if we can

953
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:29.599
<v Speaker 2>shift the zeitgeist in America, particularly amongst his base, the

954
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:32.960
<v Speaker 2>people who he thinks love him still to say, hey,

955
00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:37.519
<v Speaker 2>you're actually not delivering. You're actually not on our side,

956
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.119
<v Speaker 2>and the clock is ticking. We are approaching the midterms.

957
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:44.280
<v Speaker 2>You're going to lose the midterms because you chose to,

958
00:52:44.679 --> 00:52:47.280
<v Speaker 2>instead of delivering on your campaign promises, to deliver on

959
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:51.239
<v Speaker 2>your donor promises by starting a war in Iran. So

960
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats are not going to win the Senate, the

961
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Democrats are not going to win the House, and you're

962
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:58.800
<v Speaker 2>going to get impeached. So now we're never homeboy. We

963
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.119
<v Speaker 2>have no time left to play around. We have no

964
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:03.760
<v Speaker 2>time left for five D chess. We have no time

965
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:07.159
<v Speaker 2>left to just put all of our desires and needs

966
00:53:07.199 --> 00:53:12.960
<v Speaker 2>and really necessities aside to assuade your egotistical concerns. We're

967
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:15.280
<v Speaker 2>not going to pretend you're delivering when you're not. And

968
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:19.360
<v Speaker 2>if that still doesn't work, well, then yeah, his life

969
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.920
<v Speaker 2>is probably under threat and you can guess by who.
