The Last American Vagabond - As Trump Flounders For Israel's Agenda Netanyahu Claims Iran Is "America's War"

Starting point is 00:00:00 I've been Enyahu said something that was very, very much overlooked and I think very disturbing last week. He had given a speech, and an Israeli reporter asked him a question about the American-Israeli war against Iran. And he corrected her. And he said, it's the American war against Iran. We are America's ally. And I thought, oh, buddy, that's not what you were saying two weeks ago. It starts with a simple question. and ends in objective reality.

Starting point is 00:00:34 Through our journey from there to hear, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Welcome to the daily wrap up. Welcome to the daily wrap-up. Sunday, April 5th, 2026, thank you for joining me today on this Easter. Thank you for joining me.

Starting point is 00:01:12 Planned to do something quite quick today, and it didn't work out that way. As you guys know, well, it's just how it goes some of these days when you're trying to get information out. And like, maybe just this topic. We'll just focus on that today. Oh, well, we got to talk about this. And oh, well, I got to make sure they see that. No, well, this is updated from last time. Next thing, you know, we got a full show.

Starting point is 00:01:30 So let's get into it today. Now, mostly what I'm going to be doing for today is, And likely because I think some people won't even be seeing it until tomorrow. I'm just going to try to give updates around largely the Iran conversation. But as you guys well know with our conversations and probably because you're aware of yourselves, this is something that interconnects with a lot of different topics. So today's focus is about largely Iran and like the updates on the negotiation discussions, updates in the Strait of Fremuz arguments, updates on, you know, the down fighter pilot

Starting point is 00:02:01 and the discussions that we were correct about, that there were indeed hundreds of people deployed inside of Iran, despite the aggressive pushback about somehow not calling that boots in the ground because we're a cartoon today. But all this updated by points are that there's other things I'll try to include that I think connect to other parts of the story that I do want you to see. But again, largely Iran, save for a couple small points. I want to start today with an update on something. I just wanted you guys to see if you hadn't seen it because we've been trying to keep people up to date and what really just to help motivate other people to get involved in whether it's gardening or something else, some kind of an outlet that you can feel either creatively or just,

Starting point is 00:02:38 you know, something that you can get out there and be involved with. I would like it to be things that you can better yourself in your own life, your own experience, your own sustainability, you know, your own health. But whatever it is for you out there, you know, it's important to find that. So I'm trying to show people. I recently pointed to the garden, the lettuce we'd already planted. Last year, I was showing you all the things we were growing. I recently posted this here in regard to the chickens we just got. And I'm just, you know, it's exciting for me too, because this A lot of this, chickens in particular, is new for me. And it's like I've said when we first moved to the new location we're at and got some more land.

Starting point is 00:03:12 It's trying to do our best one step at a time because it's not, for most people, it's not just something you can do, is to try to put my money where my mouth is. You know, try to lean into the things that, for example, Derek Brose is just a shining beacon of where I think we should be going. And so I'm, you know, trying to bring it that direction. So I wanted you guys to see what we recently took a step in, a step into in the, I guess, livestock direction because we've talked about ducks or different things as well but it's always more time or resources and that's that's the difficult part i also want to give a shout to crossing creeks farms which is our local it's always not too close to us but it's in tennessee and they're

Starting point is 00:03:47 just outstanding people check just click the link and you'll see for yourself they're real people they care about what's going on around them and they care about their community i i met them through katherine austin fits she's a huge proponent of them and she invited me there a long time ago and since then we've been you know going there for food going there for you know we just everything we can to try to work with the local, local groups. And we recently went and got some chickens from them. Now, these are chickens. They're high production, what they try to do.

Starting point is 00:04:13 And so after so many years, they kind of slow down and they're laying. And so they sell them off. And they still lay for years to come. And so we got a couple, three of those, in fact. And here's the image we just shared, heading them home. You can only see two of them in the picture inside the crate. And then here they are inside the do-it-yourself chicken coop that we put together with just basically sort of frame we got and then wrapped it with some chicken

Starting point is 00:04:34 wire and such it's what we got to do. You know, you got to make it work. And I think it's pretty well done, actually. Now, I actually, I should have grabbed you the other picture that showed you the out of the larger view. I'll give you guys one posted at some point. And we got our first egg today. Hooray. But really, like I said, I'm just, I'm proud we're doing it, but I'd like to help motivate others to show you that it's whether you have a full schedule and realize this is not something that I'm like shucking off on other people. This is me and my family. That's it. And so it's work that I try to do outside of all the other things we do. And like anybody else, we have jobs and obligations and family. It's just about what you want to. Find the time. It matters.

Starting point is 00:05:08 So again, thank you for tuning in today, guys. I want to also shout out a recent discussion I had. This is the actual second time we've been on with Betbeat Media. I wasn't familiar with them until Vanessa introduced me. And I think just it's a great, I very much enjoyed the intellectual conversation, the insightful discussion, and just the willingness to bring us all together. And so Vanessa Beale and myself and Miriam Sharbati, who is an expert in regard to Lebanon and the different foreign policy conversations, had a really in-depth conversation about Iran and Israel. And interestingly enough, by the way, I'm not sure whether this was secondhand information from people trying to manipulate everybody else. But I got word from somebody that there was somebody out there

Starting point is 00:05:46 that I've worked with in the past that were sort of saying that I was black-pilled when it came to Iran, you know, sort of like we're black-billed when it comes to COVID and black-pilled when it comes to Israel until people finally catch up that that's actually what's going on. You know, just I'm kind of half-joking. That has been the track record, but I question myself too. But Vanessa being one of the people that was calling me out, I guess. And I was like, well, I just talked to Vanessa in this conversation and plenty of others where we align with almost everything when it comes to what's going on there. And so one, great conversation.

Starting point is 00:06:15 Two, whether or not people disagree, that doesn't necessarily mean there's like strife or negativity. You know, I disagree with a lot of people in this field that I highly respect. But also be on guard out there, even just amongst yourselves for people trying to manipulate you, trying to throw a social grenade in the middle of your group just to pretend, you know, lying, misleading people about different opinions, trying to sway you to make sure that we are, you know, looking at each other adversarily instead of realizing that we're all whether or disagreeing, fighting for the same things. But anyway, I just want to share it because it was a great discussion

Starting point is 00:06:45 and always very much respect Vanessa and her outlook on damn near everything. So starting with an interesting point that I wanted to make sure, I mean, I've touched on. In fact, the last title we had, part of it was the lie, how do I frame it, the Trump has suddenly changed lie, which it's not the truth. I'll make that even more clear now. But really important that we really accentuate this, outline it with the evidence to look for, to engage with yourself. What's weird to me,

Starting point is 00:07:12 like, I mean, I don't want to be hyperbolic, but I feel like it's almost every single category, every topic, every discussion point that we can see right now. You're just getting like this wholesale misrepresentation. Like, not like I've said in the past, not like some kind of savvy, you know, manipulation

Starting point is 00:07:27 of some of the information, but it's like, here's the facts and like a completely diametric opposite, whole cloth lie. Just that's no, it's this. And it's, if you just look, you go, well, that's just not true. And it's a lot of this stuff. Not unique to partisan. It's one. But it's, it's, this administration seems uniquely dishonest,

Starting point is 00:07:45 but I don't think that's unique to left or right. But in saying that, it's interesting because in this one point, we have the reality of what Trump was saying about Iran. Like before we got here, January, like 2025, like first, first month in the, and everyone's sense, if you really look, through and look at the information, the tweets, the interviews, and what were they saying? Iran, bad guy. We have to take care of Iran. We have to sanction nuclear weapons and the same story. So anybody, and this is really important to hear for the honest people out there who may

Starting point is 00:08:16 watch other people that disagree with this opinion, anybody out there who is saying right now, Trump, you know, promised us this. He did. He did promise no war. He did promise peace president. He yelled those things. Those were just words at rallies and what he did. What he did, was always clear. In fact, what he said, other cases was also clear, at least challenged what he said there, which was a Ron bad guy. We have to stop Iran.

Starting point is 00:08:40 We can't let them do this. If they don't do this, we're going to have problem. We'll, what was his framing? You know, we'll do things they've never seen before, something like that, which means attack, war. We can't, we can't let them continue. Vance did the same thing.

Starting point is 00:08:55 And that was before this. And then you had months and months of this continuing. Then we had the July or the June 12-day war point. And my point was up until then, what we were saying, here comes, the Iran war, we always knew was coming, anyone paying attention long enough. And then you have that beyond it. And then it'll be like, oh, we did it. It's obliterated. Everything's fine.

Starting point is 00:09:13 And we'll go through some of this again. And then from that point forward, you have all these MAGA people, the dishonest ones, not the regular conservatives that are willing to see this, but the team sport Republicans, just like the team sport Democrats who are willing to just pretend that's not the case. When we move forward, it's all over or pretend it's obliterated. and then you got more statements all the way up until those more obvious there now the point saying all bad is that trump was clear the entire time that he was going to do this and yet you get this weird argument about how somehow this we violated everything and he changed suddenly and he's not the same person so it's important to go through this tooth and nail to make sure you can see that he's always been saying this and so like i said people that are saying that are either just incredibly bad at

Starting point is 00:09:54 what they do listening to what other people tell them these things are or they're just lying to you I don't know how you can misunderstand that. And then we're going to go through the rest of this that continues to add to the different points of the dishonesty, the straight, the dealings. So I want to start with a couple of points I thought were interesting. Hmm. I must have deleted something. Anyway, so Ms. Taylor, Miles Taylor, excuse me, says, I remember the first, the reason I'm including this, by the way, is not to just dunk on Trump because it's easy to do, quite frankly. It's about the interesting lie.

Starting point is 00:10:27 And this is just, I think, important to see because I don't think he's what they claim he is. or as RFK literally says he flips over a map and just draws a flawless map of the Middle East. Guys, I don't know people. I know very few people who could do that who are very intelligent. The funny point is I just flatly said, I don't believe that. I do not believe that. But I could have been wrong. My point in this is the same idea is that they're willing to lie about these things just to kind of bolster the position of somebody.

Starting point is 00:10:51 And it's really about the dishonesty of everything they're doing and the live of who they really are. And this is Aaron Rippoor simply showing you what Leave it says. She says, you always want to be the most well-wired person in the room. And I try to be every day, but Donald Trump always is. Now, look, you can be super well-read and not project that, not speak very intelligently. I find that we're going to counter, or it's a rare experience, but I feel like I've seen people who I know have, you know, maybe read and not understood. Anyway, the point is that does not show in what he does. He makes mistakes.

Starting point is 00:11:26 He speaks ridiculously. He speaks bad grammar all the time. like a lot of them do. It's not about him alone, but to say he's the most well-read person in the room, no matter where he goes, while he's in a room full of highly educated, highly-inflicted people,

Starting point is 00:11:37 I just think that's a really stupid thing to say. But it's very Trump style. Not just that he's one of the smartest people. No, no, he is the smartest person, even though that's just functionally ridiculous. But he says, Miles Taylor, somebody who has an ex-national security official, says, I remember the first piece of advice I got

Starting point is 00:11:53 on a briefing with Trump in the room in 2017. Now, this was actually pretty broadly discussed. Many people left and right were talking about this at the time. Another kind of side point about the game of the mainstream alternative narrative control. We all knew it was there and then we all just pretend quietly like it never happened inside the mainstream conversation. But he said in 2017, he was told he doesn't read, bring pictures, only try to impress one thing on him. And if he has to be, it has to be words, single page only. And this has been roundly discussed with like people that the last person in the room is what he ends up listening to.

Starting point is 00:12:28 So it's silly to pretend like this guy is some mastermind behind the universe when everything you see says the opposite. But you know, consider it, right? So all that to say is that they will lie about anything. And I also think it speaks to a level of desperation that I've almost never seen in this situation. So James here says pointing to what this Ronald pro Trump account says, Ronald Carter, I just got up the phone with someone who works a defense policy. So let's go ahead and assume right at the gate. that probably didn't even happen.

Starting point is 00:12:58 Just how this game works today. But always, if you don't know for sure, then that should be always something you consider that it might not have happened. Partisanship, it's almost like a 50-50 flip at this point. They will lie about damn near anything. But he says he got to the phone with somebody who's in Washington, okay?

Starting point is 00:13:14 What they told me should end every Trump reckless argument permanently. Trump is reckless. The argument that he's the problem. He says, every single president since Clinton receive the same intelligence. I'm sure you can, you know, decipher where that evidence came from, the intelligence came from if it's been every single president

Starting point is 00:13:35 this entire time. So clearly it's something outside of this country. The same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Oh yeah, you know, the same timeline. We've all heard our entire lives that's been different every time and never added up to the outcome that they claimed. Never, okay? And it says every single one was told the window was closing.

Starting point is 00:13:53 Okay. every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting. And the only way you can even decipher this right now, meaning the political cost is detriment to American interest, killing American citizens or American military. And so yeah, that's what you would do. Well, is it worth the killing of our people and the destruction of our country to get what Israel wants? No, never.

Starting point is 00:14:19 Well, if that's what drove their mindset, I doubt it was. the point is he's trying to say that Trump's the one that decided to go for it. That's not how he meant that, but that's the only way you could take this. And it says Trump got the same briefing. 60 kilograms. And here we are again, ladies and gentlemen, of 90% did rich uranium. And it wasn't 90%. None of them claimed that.

Starting point is 00:14:38 They said that they could. 90% is the marker you have to get to maybe to make the material needed to make the nuclear bomb. They don't have that. They never have. Not even Whitkoff said that. So these people are just dumb on top of being diso or I guess you could call it disoff. honest, at the very least, naive and sharing what he was told that's not correct. Four weeks to break out for four weeks. And this is, by the way, after it was supposedly obliterated by the same person

Starting point is 00:15:03 he's currently cheering. Material for two bombs. Guys, this is all just dumb, by the way. Like, it's embarrassing. I'm not going to get into the technical stuff because I'm not even the expert, but I've done this long enough to know and gone over the expert discussion of why that's just ridiculous. I will get again, show you the 60% point. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35 percent. Oh, what a hero. What a reluctant forlorn hero. Oh, I knew it was going to be bad for me, but it's going to be good for America? Where's that showing? Demonstrate for me why this is any, even if you take out Iran entirely. Where's the outcome where that's beneficial to Americans, American interests? It's just not, guys. He chose to act knowing his own base would split.

Starting point is 00:15:44 So what you're trying to say is he destroyed himself to do something for Israel. Well, I don't actually disagree. In nowhere in there did you really stress the case that this was somehow in the American interest other than the insinuation that the information they were given was always correct, even though the very point you just made, as James calls out, kind of shows you it's not. If every president sends Clinton has gotten the same intelligence briefing that Iran was on the verge of acquiring nukes, and yet it still hasn't acquired nukes. That suggests our intelligence on Iran has not been very good. It's a very kind way to write And on top of that, that it's not like they stuck their finger in the mix. And we're like,

Starting point is 00:16:22 wait, stick us, you know, smoke in the, they're sticking the spokes. We're going to stop. No, no. There's been gaps where Netanyahu was hair on fire like weeks, months, years away. And nothing really shifted. And it just didn't happen. Many, many times on top of the reality, we've always gone over showing you the evidence very clearly highlights this is not the case. Now, it's important to see this yet again. For those that haven't, it's really important. for those. I have to remember that this is what they're citing, and this is not some small account. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the end of 2025 said very clearly that the 60% that Whitkoff lied about was within their safeguards, right here.

Starting point is 00:17:05 As stated in my most recent report, read the whole thing, by the way, there's plenty of other information. It's not necessarily relevant to this, but it's important. Based on his inspections conducted at the relevant facilities since then, Iran's uranium stockpiles remain under safeguard in accordance with their comprehensive safeguard agreement. You may recall that more than 400 kilograms of the stockpile isn't rich to 60%, not 90, 60. Maybe they're dyslexic or whatever it would mean if you invert the numbers. Maybe to make it a nine. And it says it's essentially that basically essential that we continue.

Starting point is 00:17:34 Now, the reason they stopped in, I think it was end of June 2025, was because of what they did in June, bombing Iran. Now, Iran is the one that officially said, you know, stop. We're being bombed right now. So we're not going to maintain. Like so it's not, but the bottom line is as of that moment, and it's also not even possible with what we know for them to meet something to increase to the potential bomb level within that time frame. But the point is that they said no more inspections were in the middle of the war and have always maintained this before, after, during JCPOA, after before any situation, Iran has upheld what it has been required to do with this group. And they just continue to lie about it, as they say at the bottom. the international atomic energy agency will guarantee through watertight inspection systems that nuclear weapons will not be developed in Iran like they were doing before when Trump violated the original deal they made and every time since.

Starting point is 00:18:25 And this is my point about this stuff. If you can so, now look, you could simply argue that he's lying, right? You can say the IAEA is lying or he director general is working for the other team. No one's saying that. In fact, they're pointing to the IEA as the group that's supposed to be doing this. So when that very group stands up and says that's not true, that's not happening, and then cites the very numbers that Whitkoff and this guy go on to lie about. Why does that not instantly get shut down? Why doesn't there, why isn't there a fact check on Twitter?

Starting point is 00:18:55 Where's the community notes? Why doesn't the corporate media break that because they're all lying or stupid or manipulated? I mean, I'm not going to say all. Well, no, I mean, I think that's actually a fair statement. Within that category probably meets every one of them. They're lying. They are too dumb to care. they're too paid off.

Starting point is 00:19:11 They're too, you know, that kind of category. But it's not honesty because you can prove it and they're lying. But yet it doesn't break through because people like this get millions of shares because Elon tags it with 100%. And that's how this tends to go. But the main point is, well, the intelligence correct has always been there. And Israel has been feeding them that since day one. Anybody who's not a moron can see this right now, guys.

Starting point is 00:19:32 It has been obvious for a long time. This has been sort of allowed to be seen now for other political reasons, but they're still trying to keep a cap on this. Now, here's the White House fact sheet from February 4th, 2025. In case you're not paying attention, we're in 2026 right now. So this is February 4th, 2025, where he came out right away, a month after being put into the position that he told you he would not go to war with Iran when he told you that there was going to be no more wars.

Starting point is 00:20:00 And he says, right away, restoring maximum pressure on Iran. Why? Nothing changed. There was no information. Israel was the one pushing this. You can go back to the very beginning of this or before that or the year before or the administration before. And the evidence has always been the same.

Starting point is 00:20:14 Everybody else argues largely that there's nothing there to prove it and you get allegations from Israel and the United States backs it up. Little nuances over the years, but we just saw the point. They have never been, they've never done what they claim. Restoring maximum pressure on the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran was his focal point with his national security presidential memorandum. And it establishes that Iran should be denied any. nuclear weapon, which they weren't seeking and didn't have, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Starting point is 00:20:42 And there was the increase from Israel. Never before had that really been the main fault. They've discussed the idea of weapon, the use of them and the intercontinental missile, you know, treat all the different things that plays a backdrop. But every country in the world has the right both to make nuclear energy and weapons should they want to. Rather, I take that back in the sense of they're supposed to be under the nuclear proliferation treaty, supposed to be winding back their growth. but the tactical nuke thing that Trump introduced, completely spun that out as far as I'm concerned. The point was, though, that they have the legal right to do all this stuff.

Starting point is 00:21:13 And so they added the idea that they just can't have missiles now. Not just any certain kinds of missiles, but even Rubio is like they drones, their missiles in general, they can't just build their stockpile because then they're strong. We can't allow a country we don't agree with to have their own stealth sustainable power. It's just absurd.

Starting point is 00:21:29 The only thing that that even makes sense in some people's minds is because, well, they're terrorists. But even if they were terrorists, whatever you think that means. That doesn't invalidate their rights and laws that exist in the world, but apparently that's the thing that U.S. government's created in the world. We can yell terrorists and things don't matter anymore.

Starting point is 00:21:46 But that seems to be changing. People seem to be catching on. For surprise, it took 20 years. Iran's terrorist network should be neutralized. Okay, that doesn't exist. If you want to get into the reality of what Iran has done over the years that are crimes, we can go through that and they should be held accountable for them. But if you're going to pretend that by working with supporting other groups that are being occupied,

Starting point is 00:22:04 other groups that are fighting legitimate terrorist actions, whether or not they themselves have carried out acts of the similar nature. It's like pretending, hypothetically, had Iran immediately bombed every hospital in Israel right after they were attacked illegally. I would still call all of those crimes. But I would still say the only reason they did it was because they were bombed first illegally by them opening that door.

Starting point is 00:22:27 See, there's a difference there, but they would still be crimes. In this case, the idea that you're criticizing the fact that they're supporting ideologically or otherwise or even selling them weapons. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, the Houthis, the Unserral the movement. It's no different than the U.S. government's selling weapons and working with everybody else that does in the world. If one matters, then they both do.

Starting point is 00:22:45 But that's not how this is being played. And it's also not even close to what's actually going on comparing to what, you know, Al-Jolani and Syria, the Azov movement in Ukraine. They're literally overthrowing entire countries in putting the terrorist groups. They pretend they're fighting in power and then screening Iran's a terrorist group.

Starting point is 00:23:00 Iran's aggressive, development of missiles as well as other aces. Yeah, drones and missiles. That's the same as part one. Conventional weapons capability should be countered. So all this is to show you that they're simply setting tones or lines that demand action. Well, they're not going to get rid of those things. So I could have, as I was telling you in February, well, here we go. This is going to go because Israel wants it.

Starting point is 00:23:23 Now, whether Trump does it or not was the question. He opened the door in February. It was blindly, it was more obvious than it had been up until. this point that he was going to do this for Israel. So the people that were saying, where did this come from? I can't believe it, are just either stupid or blind. And it says, taking Iran's nuclear program off the table, President Trump will not tolerate Iran possessing a nuclear weapons capability.

Starting point is 00:23:45 Didn't have it. Nor will he stand for their sustained sponsorship of terrorism, especially against the U.S. Okay, so just wherever we decide to broadly say they're doing things, they can't do that, even though they're not. So then there's nothing they can do since they're not even doing that. So you create a situation where you have to do something. This was done to them. I don't think Trump even cared, but truly, I think he was played very easily.

Starting point is 00:24:07 And Adam Cochran points out, we'll get into this in a second as Trump posts. Today will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day. All wrapped up in one in Iran, you know, massive war crimes, just casually deciding what we're going to murder human, you know, infrastructure, civilians, just no big deal. Just put it right on on true social. There will be nothing like it, he writes. open the effing straight, he writes, you crazy bastard, or you'll be living in hell. You're casual, you know, at the same time,

Starting point is 00:24:38 he's telling you we're having great negotiations. Just in case that stuff, we'll get to that in a second. It's just insanely embarrassing. Like, I'm truly more than usual embarrassed from what these people are doing. Not that they represent us, but how dumb this is.

Starting point is 00:24:50 And Chris Murphy, who I also think is ridiculous, as if I were in Trump's cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. And here we go again, about removing him from power, right? why does anybody who's not blind think that's going to help? Vance is exactly the same.

Starting point is 00:25:05 He's fighting for the same things for the same reasons, maybe a slightly more technocratic teal leaning direction. Look what Trump's doing. I mean, at the very least, Vance has been on board for what Israel wants because so too is the groups that are pulling his strings in my opinion. But he writes, Adam Cochran, I'll take it a step further. Failing to invoke the 25th Amendment at this point is a violation of their oath to the country.

Starting point is 00:25:26 Now, you could even understand why that might make sense. but then if you're going to do it, then you might as well keep going until none of them are left. Because to do it once and let the next guy step in line doesn't change anything. It should be seen as nothing short of criminal negligence. Now, this is the big problem for me. I'm not sure whether this person believes it'll change anything or not. Or believes that Bance is somehow a good guy. Tucker Carlson told you that, which baffles me that people don't call that out.

Starting point is 00:25:48 The guy's been caught lying almost as much as Trump. He just got real quiet when this all kicked off. So I'm very worried that this one will happen and it won't change anything and it'll give people months of time to pretend like everything's going well. Oh, just give them some time to work it all out. It's sad. But also, I'm worried that this was the entire point. Or at the very least, you know, sort of breaking glass and emergency kind of moment because

Starting point is 00:26:11 it's easy to see how this will keep the agenda going. Here's what J.D. Vance said back in June 17th, just to make sure you're not, you know, if you're out there thinking, Jaddy Vance will save us from this Iran war like Tucker and some people seem to think, here's what he said. in absolute support of everything Trump was planning in June 17th. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. It's right there. That alone sets you up for the same thing.

Starting point is 00:26:35 If their intelligence told them, as Gabber did, as their own intelligence assessment showed that they were not doing that and did not have it, what are they talking about? If Trump was the one and you supported him then, Bance, as you all laughed and everybody trying to tell you otherwise, right in that little oval office room, that it was obliterated and you won and it was over. then you guys are just ridiculous and we can all see right through you and he'll do the same things because he's giving you the same lies the president has made clear that iran cannot have uranium enrichment even though every other country in the world can and we just decide the rules unilaterally because

Starting point is 00:27:08 we're totally not the policing of the world and he said repeatedly that he would happen that it that this would happen one of two ways the easy way or the other way this is stupid it's the hard way is the way is the way you do that, but you can beat Trump about it and pretend like you just made your own statement of. But that's a threat, guys. That's simple. So either you do what we want or we're going to do, he tries to make it opaque so you can't claim he threatened military action because he's the peace president. Easy way or the other way. Well, we're watching the other way right now. As we told you, and we got called Blackfield and the same old rigour, and now those same people are over there going, oh my God, look at what Jones is doing today, screaming. Oh my God, Trump's lost. Look at what he's done.

Starting point is 00:27:48 Well, he's the reason he's in power. Don't ever forget that. Trump, Alex Jones, is almost more solely responsible for pushing people to Trump than anyone I've seen in the conversation. And here he is. And look, hopefully, honestly, still wouldn't change that he's accountable for all this. And he's shouted down everybody trying to show it. And I'm willing to bet you anything. He will still stand by him. In many ways, he still is, by the way. But they were always there. It was always clear if you weren't a ridiculous person. Hey, he may decide he needs to take further action to end Ronnie and Richmond. Right. So in June, he was already telling you. you well, we may have to go to war, even though that's never going to happen because

Starting point is 00:28:25 peace president. But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. Oh, oh, you believe? From what? From what? Your lies about not going to war the first time, even though you totally did, like we all told you, and hopefully people are now looking back at the first administration and going, wow, looks like these people who we were all screaming at were right the whole time.

Starting point is 00:28:43 And having seen this up close and personally, he goes, I can assure you that this, that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals. Whatever he does, that's his focus. Oh, really? Well, you're wrong, seeing as how everyone's calling that out, and even you are trying to be quiet about it. So were you lying?

Starting point is 00:29:02 Or did you just not care, Vance? It's probably a little bit of both, guys. It's too bad we just can't see that in certain circles. You just go to, you just jump to the next person in line. Sort of like when a media apparatus person in the broken mainstream gets exposed or gets fired, they just shift to the next person. Like Alex Jones, people started seeing through him. And they just kind of look for the next conservative person.

Starting point is 00:29:22 listen to. Break free of the partisan control structure. But he was right there with him. And there's been a thousand examples since then. Here on January 13, 2025, right in the beginning, I should have put that first. V.P. Elect, J.D. Vant signals Trump will allow Israel's war in Gaza to proceed. Right. So just a casual pro-genocide point and sanction Iran, which was never going to stop. And we're going to continue the war. That's this. This is always there. Listen to the whole thing. It means establishing enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of battalions. Oh, is that what happened? Seeing as how they're still genocide in Gaza and continuing the genocide in Lebanon and continuing

Starting point is 00:29:59 the genocide of Syria and bombing now in Iran, clearly that I'll just wrapped up in a couple of weeks, right, fans? So again, are you, are you, were you wrong? Are you that bad at this job? Or were you lying to us? At some point, these things have to catch up with them, but apparently not in the U.S. political conversation, which, by the way, is the reason the world seems to make fun of us today. Oh, this is just a longer example where you can read through.

Starting point is 00:30:23 At the same point, it was highlighted, but I lost it. The point is just about all the things discussing about what was coming. It was all very clear. Here, February 11, 2025, Iran alerts to United Nations. Now, this is where it gets important from Trump's perspective. Iran reached out to the U.N., February 11, 2025, and said Donald Trump is threatening force against our country. But first of all, just take a step back and ask yourself that's what a terrorist would do and says it will defend itself. I mean, you guys, it's so hard to not understand this right now.

Starting point is 00:30:52 Even if you think there was also an elaborate plan, everything that Trump and Israel, or that U.S. government and Israel doing, exposes the fact that this was not everything they've lied. God, I can't talk to it. Everything they've said about Iran has been proven to be false. Proven. That countless ways over from the fact that Israel has retroactively admitted they planned it. I mean, guys, it's impossible how clear this is. And so on top of everything else, from the planning, the arming of the courage,

Starting point is 00:31:18 which we'll talk about again in a second. To the plans that the date they were going to bomb them, even though they were in the middle of negotiations, to the reality that the foreign minister of Vermont admitted right before they bombed them, the night before, in fact, that they had agreed to give up everything. And all they'd do is see it through, and Israel bombed everybody. My point is that right in the beginning, they said, look, not the beginning of this iteration,

Starting point is 00:31:38 they're going to hurt us, they're going to bomb us, and we want you to do something. Iran alert of the United Nations on Tuesday, and this is February 11th, to what it described, as, quote, reckless and inflammatory statements by U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to use force and warned that, quote, any act of aggression will have serious consequences. I mean, you could just jump forward to right now and recognize that that makes it clear in and of itself.

Starting point is 00:32:04 They bomb them illegally. We know that. Or at the very least, you know they bombed first. But whatever you think the threat was. And they were there going, if they do this, there's going to be problems. And it's just they're acting within the law. within every circumstance going to the United Nations, presenting their evidence.

Starting point is 00:32:19 This goes back to Javad, Zareid Javad, or what was his name? So weird. I always mixed it up back then, too. I think he was the previous foreign minister of a previous administration. And he would go to the U.N. and bring evidence, and they would literally just turn him away at the door. They wouldn't even let him in to the conversation about what he had evidence to prove.

Starting point is 00:32:40 They just covered it up. It's always what they've done, guys. Now, look, it's always, it's actually in our interest to not lean into the good guy, bad guy binary look because I think all governments are capable of all of this, including the Iranian government, guys. The point, though, is that right now it's not hard to see at the very least where the scale of bad guy leans. And I only use that term to make it clear what we're talking about, but just, you know, who is committing crimes, who is killing innocent people, who is

Starting point is 00:33:05 illegally occupying territory, who is using illegal weaponry. I mean, you just can't miss it. Now, again, saying all that, I always come back to the point to where, you know, I think we all do. and it just is not allowed to be represented in the mainstream, mainstream alternative, with all these technocratic platforms that have been hoisted on top of the conversation to keep you from seeing what's going on. Quote, these reckless and inflammatory statements flagrantly violate international law and the UN Charter. Guys, the statements alone do. The fact that he's openly telling you bombing bridges and infrastructure alone is a crime,

Starting point is 00:33:36 but doing it even more so. The U.S. will bear full responsibility, he said. Iran will resolutely defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national interest against any hostile action. I mean, you just imagine this being a discussion in public in February, in the UN, and yet we all act like it was unprecedented right now bombing back. They're claiming Iran is acting with terrorist acts. It's a cartoon.

Starting point is 00:34:01 Okay, going forward, March 31st. So that was February. We're March 31st, 2025. Washington policy weekly. Trump threatens to bomb Iran if no nuclear deal reached. This is before the June 12th day war. So right there, he's literally going, we will bomb you forever unless you do what we want.

Starting point is 00:34:18 You want to explain to me why this was confusing to anybody? Who's missing this? Who's out there going, peace president, while he's screaming war. Morons, blind people, liars. I don't believe that's the majority. Not in the conservative area, not in the liberal. This is not.

Starting point is 00:34:33 I think people are seeing through it. Plenty different categories and all that. Here's another one. This is April. One month or what this was that March? leave. I don't open again. So down the line, April 2025. Arms Control Association, Trump sends a letter amid military threats. It says, I hope you're going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it's going to be a terrible thing. Well, look at that. March 2025, April 2025. In fact,

Starting point is 00:34:59 I think it was March when he got sent. He's selling you, we don't, we don't, don't make us go into war if we don't get what we want. And by the way, guess who he was saying this to? Kameenie. The letter was delivered and Kamini, the one he murdered, says Iran is not interested in talks with a bullying government and describe the man the missive as an attempt to deceive global public opinion. Now look at what we're dealing with today. And they murdered this man because he would not blindly acquiesce to whatever they wanted. And then they murdered more people and they still stood by it. You could know, you could look at it in comparison to what Palestinians are doing. Their game is to murder, threat, violate, rape, torture, and just do every, do every, you know,

Starting point is 00:35:42 everything you possibly can to make people suffer so they just give up. Apparently they've lost their touch because people aren't buying. I mean, just people, they're just not, at the very least, you push people to a point to where they're willing to stand anything, to withstand anything to not let you win. We saw, look at what, look at what the Palestinians are still going through. And effectively, they did have a major success by exposing this to the world. But look at the cost. Look at what the Israel and the U.S. governments are capable of just to, just to, I guess,

Starting point is 00:36:11 stomp their feet. They still effectively are losing, at least in some ways, but they're winning when it comes to taking the territory if we let that happen. But they're just murdering people every day, right now in Gaza. We'll end with that today. So here's the long thread or the timeline, US-Israel bomb Iran timeline.

Starting point is 00:36:29 So many, many more examples. You could go through and find them all where Trump was literally threatening the very thing that people act baffled about when it happens. June 13th, Israel launches major airstrikes against Irani nuclear military military facilities. Now, remember on February 28th,

Starting point is 00:36:42 The night they started, they bombed them after the agreement. I won't go over overall again, but I'll include it since it's an important one if you haven't seen it, where he was literally telling them after the 28th meeting, which this was on the 28th, that they agreed. They agreed everything. They'll get rid of their rich uranium. They will give up what they have. They'll agree not to do anymore, what they never did before.

Starting point is 00:37:04 And then they bombed them that night, which is very obviously clear. Another point is, I'm only to bet you anybody honest would hear that and go into it. and it will change their mind. But of course, the people that likely need to hear it, and usually the ones that might have much more influence or more money to donate, for example, are just algorithmically boxed away from ever seeing that we exist. It's amazing how much reach we can get

Starting point is 00:37:24 and how many people we can work with and how many people in certain categories seem to not even know we exist. I think it's obvious. Point is, help us get this information to people. Make your clips, share it to them yourselves, put it in the chat, get it in there. It's not about us. It's about the information getting seen

Starting point is 00:37:39 so we can actually see something change. June 22nd, the U.S. strikes Iranian nuclear facilities. And it's amazing we never talked about how incredibly dangerous that was. You know how they were all clutching their pearls about the Zapparocha plants in Ukraine? But then they bomb them and nobody even cares, you know, because they're all ridiculous children. If you're not going to care about one, you're going to care about one, not the other, then you're either dishonest or I guess just dishonest because if you're stupid,

Starting point is 00:38:04 you would at least be able to see the contradiction. But my point is always to show you that these people in this high, the high higher up, you know, they frame themselves is somehow like the respectable, you know, leaders of the media group and they're just ridiculous. Like half the time the dumbest people in the room and I'm not trying to make this some hyperbolic point. We all see what's going on right now. And we'll report things that everyone can see that barely is half the time

Starting point is 00:38:26 don't even make it through. Anyway, I digress. The bottom line here is that this goes all the way down to where we are and you can see every single moment where Trump was telling you this was going to come to pass. It's a choice, guys. Now on June 21st, right, after just after the 12th, no, this would have been within, no,

Starting point is 00:38:45 it would have been February 28, so after the 12-day war discussion point. Here's what Trump, that's right, because it's about the obliteration. Here's what he came out and said about how clearly it was obliterated. You know, the thing that they're still pointing to today. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. We assess that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facility. facilities has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come.

Starting point is 00:39:19 The nuclear threat of Iran that was totally obliterated. Iran where we wiped out their nuclear capacity for weapons. They totally obliterated the nuclear potential nuclear supply of Iran. In June, we obliterated Iran. Now, that one's actually different because that's what Trump does. He just exaggerates blusters. So he said the supply. It didn't say the nuclear, but the supply, which would mean enriched uranium.

Starting point is 00:39:45 so for them to suddenly claim that they are that close again, which Trump did many times, weeks away as we just pointed to. Well, that's just physically not possible, even with the numbers they're putting forward, but they're also lying about all of it. It's nuclear enrichment capacity. Last summer, I ordered devastating strikes on Iran's key nuclear facilities and achieving total obliteration. That's February 13, 2026. Total obliteration of the Iran nuclear potential.

Starting point is 00:40:15 capability, totally obliterated. Now it's the potential capability. I mean, you're screwing yourself with your ridiculous blustering, Trump, because that last statement makes it very clear. They were nowhere in it. But you see, the reality was, if you remember we talked about this, as always, we go through the actual facts. We can verify it appears, according to even Ron,

Starting point is 00:40:34 they did in fact bond the enrichment facility, which is almost the worst thing for them, because that makes it impossible for them to be able to enrich, even if they had the material. And so they lied about whatever they were doing. But based on the obliteration point, it wasn't true. Now, you could use that point to argue. That's why we know they've got bombed.

Starting point is 00:40:50 But the evidence doesn't back that up. The reality is, one again, they've never were doing that, which is the evidence has always been clear with Tulsi Gabbard, also saying it from Trump's administration, International Atomic Energy Agency, also backing that up in the recent 2025 point. Nothing else backs that up other than Israel screaming about. And that Trump, you know, interestingly told you that it was gone.

Starting point is 00:41:10 So think about all of that and then suddenly telling us it back again. It takes a special kind of stupidity, willful ignorance, to just follow along. That's why I don't think most people are falling for it right now. So here, obliterated. Thank you, Richard, for sharing that. Here's the post. Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated. I love this part.

Starting point is 00:41:28 And suggesting otherwise are fake news. Or suggestions otherwise are fake news. Okay. So you guys are fake news now in your own right, backwardly, which is hilarious. Well, here's what now came around March 2nd, 2026. 74 times President Trump has made clear that Iran cannot have. I don't even know what the point of this would be. Why do we, why do you just show us the amount of times he repeated himself?

Starting point is 00:41:52 You know what I mean? It's just trying because they wanted you to shift into this mindset. Ignore the obliterated point. Just pretend like it doesn't exist. You know, sort of like when Trump said, ISIS was defeated 100 times, 100%, 100 times. And then weeks later would bomb ISIS or would say that there's a reason we have to fight them or, you know, and then go right back to saying it again. It's almost like a psychological operation.

Starting point is 00:42:15 It's like a social engineering experiment to see how blindly people will follow you, even as you tell them they're blind to them. But you go through all these, start February 20, 24, 26, and we will not allow a nuclear weapon. Right. So explain to me how literally the month, February 12th, he just said it was obliterated. And then two weeks later, he comes up and going,

Starting point is 00:42:36 I can't. Why? Because Israel clearly started the agenda again. I don't know how anybody can miss that. You can't miss the hype in the media. Netanyahu is picking up the conversation again. It's undeniably clear. Here, January 2nd, 2026.

Starting point is 00:42:53 Trump says, and what's important about this is to show you, because we've already clearly established that he was screaming about Iran well before it was because of the immediacy of the whatever they claim was happening, even though, you know, anyway, it's always used to make fun of this so easily. But this is about the sudden hype of the protest side of this, which is now again important because of what they're now

Starting point is 00:43:14 admitting on topic, even though you already knew all of this because we were telling you from day one. Why? Because the evidence showed you that. Because you can literally see Netanyahu or Mike Pompeo publicly telling you they're arming the protesters, right? But he says Trump initially wrote on his true social platform warning Iran, if, if it violently kills peaceful protesters, hadn't happened yet, but if you happen to decide to do that somehow psychic. United States will continue to their, will come to their rescue, literally come to their rescue, and then afterward kind of turning around and said, well, it's up to you. He said, you clown.

Starting point is 00:43:50 At least seven people have been killed so far in violence surrounding the demonstrations. And yeah, we went over all of this. It's very clear how this started. And pretty much across the board now has been broken down. The unions were the biggest part for me. The unions themselves supported the protesters who were very much protesting their government because of the financial situation, which mostly within the, those would also acknowledge it was because of the U.S. action, but they were unhappy with the way Iran

Starting point is 00:44:13 was dealing with it in that moment. And then the union supported them. And then when masked, armed foreign people came rushing into, they stood up and said, this is not the same protest, very publicly. And then that became very clear. That's when you started seeing policemen burned live in the streets and buildings, government. And then you can't miss this. They said, we're arming them. Even if you think they're normally protesters, that still ends up being an insurrection. That ends up being a invasion, a sciop, a proxy group, literally. So my point is, though, just like with the minds that never seemed to have happened, at least in this recent point, he came out and said, if there's mines,

Starting point is 00:44:50 we don't see them yet, but if there are, you'll be a line too far. And then literally that day, minds reported it in the street, but then never talked about again. It's just such a, it's a, such an obvious sort of like floundering is the world he's in the title today, flailing sort of clumsy propaganda effort that just just lie about everything all the time. My point, though, if you do that, and then right then they go, oh, they started killing protests even more. We have now come around to find out those are lies based on the fact that the numbers came from Israel pretty much every time. And I don't mean that as some broad point, literally their intelligence, you can look at the reports. But that then overlaps with this point.

Starting point is 00:45:28 And we told you this. Like I just said, so did a lot of us, so did Aaron, so did a lot of people saying this. But this is the point that was talking about in the beginning. Yet suddenly you've got this Zionist propagandas for Fox News coming on and going, Trump just told me that we are in the Kurds. Well, guys, there was literal public reporting about that. So if it's suddenly, which by the way it is, look at Twitter, it's suddenly this breaking story. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:45:49 And then people like major influencing people are like people, you know, what are the names of people like try to think of some of these influencer types of carry over from COVID that are sort of scientists but are like MAGA supporters. There's so many people out there are suddenly going, if this is true, this would mean. And I'm going, God, darn it, man. What do you mean if it's true?

Starting point is 00:46:08 Did you even take a second to look? It's very public. We talked about it already. So my point is the release of information. So why? Maybe because they're floundering and they need you to get some kind of a release valve. Maybe because they're using this to drive it some other direction. Maybe because they lied about all of it.

Starting point is 00:46:21 And they want us to believe in. The point, though, is that evidence was there and now suddenly it's being pointed to. And I think it really does matter because what we're dealing with is something they orchestrated, which even the New York Times is suggesting now at this point. But here is what Trey had to say about how they armed these. people like you already knew a month ago or would have been yeah pretty close actually now the president also provided new details on what happened earlier this year as the iran regime took to the streets and slaughtered what the president tells me is 45,000 civilians in their own country not true after that

Starting point is 00:46:57 took remember and that trump told him so at the very least that mean trump is repeating what he was told by people and look you know where that's coming from just not true The people, Iran has admitted about 3,000, but saying that the vast majority of those were people who were literally rioting down the government. And you know very well, as now he's about to tell you that they did arm those people, that if that was happening in Washington, D.C.,

Starting point is 00:47:18 you think Trump would just let him go? Now, I'm not making, it doesn't make one right versus the other or right, wrong, it's wrong regardless if you're talking about executing protesters. If you're talking about armed insurgents who are being brought down, well, that very much changes the story, doesn't it? So what we would do as individuals is require evidence, not take a side, not then go well, all of them should be or all of them are not.

Starting point is 00:47:41 That's what they want from you. Demand evidence. And if you don't have it, proof even, you just leave it there and you wait for more. But you have to understand how that would work. And so that's the line, right? So if they're accusing them all of being illegal people, then we would demand an investigation, evidence. And if they all come out and just go intelligence says, then we should doubt that from anybody.

Starting point is 00:48:00 So the point is that some people just want things to resolve because they've been sort of trained in this kind of like, you know, animal pellet system where I've said, like every story comes out and they go, Bing, and they give you in, oh, that's the story. And it's just, it's this cycle where you just get, you feel like there's been resolution. And there's never really evidence to back it up. Most times in my experience, the stories just flounder. They just sit there. There's nothing to, it's a narrative and you get arguments. There's a level of evidence, but it just never changes. And that's how we have to acknowledge those things. Place, President Trump told me to the streets and slaughtered what the president tells

Starting point is 00:48:32 45,000 civilians in their own country. After that took place, President Trump told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters. He tells me we sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds. And the president says he thinks the Kurds kept them. Ah, now here's the game. In my opinion, the way I'm reading this is that this was, this is an effort to hide because they know we see this. That's the way this seems to work.

Starting point is 00:48:57 They know it's obvious. And if it gets enough reach, this is the kind of thing I expect. acting like we're breaking the story, but to redirect it in a certain way. Because again, I can show you the articles that came out a month. Very clearly show you that arming the Kurds or Pompeo and Netanyahu publicly telling you they're arming the protesters, saying that Mossad is in the streets. These are all public. We went over these in previous shows.

Starting point is 00:49:18 So what I think this is is an effort to one kind of shift blame a little bit, but ultimately try to make it sound like we were just trying to help the group that the U.S. government's always armed. It doesn't change anything. Just because they've worked with the Kurds in the past doesn't change that arming them in the situation was a crime. but ultimately that we tried to give them to the protesters, but the Kurds took them.

Starting point is 00:49:36 I kind of get the sense that Trump might have bungled that narrative, that it should have been the other way around. Think about it, right? But telling us that you arm the protesters, there's no way you can make sense of that because then you turned them into the very thing that would justify them being shot in your mind, in the minds of Trump, in the minds of Netanyahu.

Starting point is 00:49:55 In every circumstance, you throw a rock at somebody in Israel, they'll shoot you. But you're going to tell me that armed protesters because you support them or suddenly not allowed to be touched. It's just they've lost themselves, guys. They've utterly lost themselves. They're drowning in the lies they've created. He went on to say, we sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them.

Starting point is 00:50:14 And so a number of headlines here from my conversation with President Trump. All of this taking place more than a month into Operation Epic Fury. And in the aftermath of that successful U.S. operation overnight to rescue that stranded. Now's a lot of dispute about whether it was successful. U.S. service member inside Iranian territory, the president himself ordering that operation after the CIA came on Saturday morning and confirmed that they located where this crew member of an F-15 that was shot down on Friday was located. Isn't that funny? Like, think about that. So you're telling me you can just randomly just like, we're going to find him somewhere in a couple days. We got him. It's right there.

Starting point is 00:50:50 And then all these examples over the years of all these times where things just never get found or there's never, you know, a shooter, you know, Butler. I mean, any number of things. You know, It makes you one wonder whether that actually went the way it did. Is that actually how it happened? Or two, are there other circumstances where they pretend they can't when there's a reason they don't want to? Question everything. Again, the president making that decision to send in hundreds of U.S. special forces

Starting point is 00:51:15 deep into Iranian territory. And there you go. And successfully retrieving that U.S. service member. Right. Oh, so there were brutes on the ground. Funny how that works out. Funny how people were like foaming at the mouth to argue that that that. that wasn't the case. And I've been telling you from the beginning, like, and I stand by,

Starting point is 00:51:34 my, based on some evidence, but my opinion, largely, because the Kurds, I think were obvious, army of the protesters were obvious. You can argue that becomes a proxy element for them. Guys, it's historically in almost every circumstance I've been involved in investigating, like past wars, the ones I've seen in my process in doing this. It almost always turns out that they have some kind of element on the ground. And so, and I think you can see that with the past examples of those fake revolutions and the fake protests. So my point was I'm pretty sure that they have elements on the ground. And then this came out and I said, okay, well, then troops were deployed.

Starting point is 00:52:06 If you can get into the ridiculous game they play, we're going, well, the word deployed means this many number of true. Whatever, that's silly. The word deploy is obvious, not in some weird military version of it. It means you put people there. At the end of the day, boots on the ground means a pair of boots on the ground. I don't care if you then pretend if one guy doesn't count, fine. If you're from within a military context, then fine, I'll give you that. But do average people who don't care about the way you play these games?

Starting point is 00:52:29 and lie about numbers, you just put boots in the ground, which is what you promise you would never do, which you swore up and down, cross the board, even after you started the war, you swore you wouldn't start. Well, we won't put boots in the ground. It'll be in and out. Surgical target operation a few days,

Starting point is 00:52:43 maybe a few weeks. No, too late. Lie after lie after lie. Or maybe you thought maybe they were just too blind to see that wasn't going to go that way. But guess who was telling you that it was going to go that way? Not because we knew for sure, but because we were looking at the evidence,

Starting point is 00:52:56 like a lot of us were. Because these people are either being lied to by Israel or they knew this wouldn't happen and they didn't care what you thought. They didn't care about Americans. I kind of feel like it's somewhere in the middle. They deployed hundreds of troops. So we're being told. And we're going to come back to that.

Starting point is 00:53:10 I think, well, I'll just finish this out. Guys, I want to make sure I got this correctly. Are you saying that the president told you that he sent guns? Yes. Wait a minute. You mean like they've done a thousand times in our like Syrian rebels and, you know, and what's so funny before actually, where are we getting into next here? I think, yeah, we'll come back to the, we'll get to the pilot discussion in a minute before I get into that.

Starting point is 00:53:34 Because I want to get into that point about the, that there's a lot of different misrepresentations and lies, you know, the historical, how often they funded elements like this or what I was going to say would be like, right now, the, you know, if if Obama was here, he would have left that pilot to die. Probably not. But either way, I don't think any of these people are good people, but this game you guys play, where you're like, you know, whatever happens, Baba, if there, if, if, if, you're there, if, if, if, I'm trying to compare it to COVID where, you know, if I hadn't gotten the shot, it would have been a lot worse. It's sort of like a weird inversion of the way that's working where if Obama was here, it would have been worse. They're all ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:54:10 Guys, this game where people lose themselves in their, like, Elvis worship of a politician, you guys should be embarrassed with yourselves. So Trump confirms the U.S. and Israel by definition armed anti-government protesters. This is what the Iranian government responded to in January. And he rightly points out, just. as any government would have. Simple. There's really no misunderstanding that. They're telling you they did it, which would change the situation.

Starting point is 00:54:35 I mean, I kind of don't know why they would admit this unless it is Israel trying to collapse this country in and on itself, which you know, I think, is one of the possibilities. Because they said that out loud many times. Brian Krasenstein says, breaking WTF, and writes this, you know, well after it was breaking. Trump sent guns to running protesters, but never got to the protesters hands. Instead, he armed the Kurds who refused to fight. Why? Because Trace says it out loud, because you think it's a worthy point to gas at. I mean, this is the kind of dumb stuff you get from all partisans.

Starting point is 00:55:06 The right response would be, well, maybe Trump's lying. But we should look at the facts we have. Not just using it to shout and go, oh, look, and we got him. He's a liar. That's what Brian does every day, like most of them. Doesn't mean there aren't things he says that I'll use to point to because I try to point to wherever I see it first. 25th Amendment, this guy, please.

Starting point is 00:55:22 Right. Yeah, hurry up. Get JD Danson there. So the whole thing can continue. The point, though. sent guns to Iranian protesters. That should be a big deal. But they never got to them.

Starting point is 00:55:32 Like, are you now mad about that? Armed the Kurds who refused to fight on our side. So the issue is that he didn't successfully start the regime change. Pick a lane, bud. Like, what are you talking about here? But this is what you get from these people. But I said, breaking, they publicly told us they did this, right? And here's Sarah Abdullah showing you.

Starting point is 00:55:51 We reported tonight on Channel 14. Foreign actors are arming the protesters in Iran with live firearms. and you saw Mossad publicly say that. Here's Mike Pompeo. To every Mossad agent walking beside them in these protesters on Happy New Year. And we saw it from the Israeli government where they said this. Massad is in the streets. In addition, I think that's why Mike said it afterward.

Starting point is 00:56:11 Either way, guys, you just can't deny. Now, of course, they could be lying. Yes. The reality, though, is the evidence has been clear for a long time now. So they armed him. It's not news. It was out before, but important to see that they manufactured this. They organized this.

Starting point is 00:56:26 they created the situation to get what they wanted, like they do everywhere. And then blamed Iran. Doesn't make Iran good guy, but it clearly makes them not the aggressor in the situation. But here in the Kurds point, I just, remember we pointed this out? Trump says he told Kurds not to enter the war. I laughed. You know why I laughed when I said, I read that because they already did, because we already knew this, because he already knew this, unless he's being played by everybody.

Starting point is 00:56:50 So I think this was him trying to distance himself from it because he just tries to blame everybody around him and shuck off responsibility constantly. It's pretty weak. Here, Jerusalem Post, the month later, or though, that was the eight, this one was, oh, yeah, it was the same day. It says, Trump pragmatically changes course, has no interest in Kurds offensive at Iran as they're engaging with the offensive. What a clown, right?

Starting point is 00:57:14 I mean, that's just, that's late, at least own your actions, man. But at the end of the day, now he's saying we sent him to protesters, but Kurds got him. Well, you sent the weapons to the Kurds. That was publicly reported. So the point is, guys, this is a game of MIP manipulation. They funded anyone they could get weapons in their hands. That's what happens every time. They funded any protesters who had been really what we're talking about is any extremist element

Starting point is 00:57:37 that they could shuffle in from one of the other elements, like from Syria or they rushed in people. That's all been verified. Jolani, I mean, they all, they publicly had a conversation about sending support. It's just always that clear. And now he's trying to lie to you. Now, on that note, actually, pointing to where I saw it first, I'm not familiar with this platform. And it sounds like the younger kids sounds like he's reading this on there,

Starting point is 00:57:59 but I think he does a pretty good job. So I figured we shouted out. Now, and it's got a lot of reach, by the way, so maybe I'm wrong about who it is, but I've never seen it before. It's a sovereign media. But it just sounds like a younger guy in the clip. But it simply says,

Starting point is 00:58:12 The New York Times joins a long list of institutions, influencers and politicians that concede at the riots in Iran at the start of the year were a result of foreign meddling. Because it was very obvious for a long time now. But yes, I'm glad to see that even larger platforms are starting to acknowledge that. But you see, it's either because of a release valve and using it to redirect or because it's just so obvious that they can't not point it out and lose credibility. I mean, it's a game of both. Remember those protests in Iran at the start of the year?

Starting point is 00:58:43 The protests that Iran's authorities said were foreign backed. That anti-imperialist experts determined were Mossad and CIA backed. The ones that CIA officials themselves said Mossad were involved in? While another imperialist media outlet has now conceded that these were not organic protests at all, but rather the handiwork of Mossad, the New York Times admits that the riots that spread across Iran in January were done so by Israel's Mossad to weaken the state's ability to defend itself. So when the U.S. and Israel launched a war, the state would be toppled. So hypothetically, think about that, right?

Starting point is 00:59:21 I've 100% believe that. They've done it there in my entire life, but doubt it, question it like everything. But think about it. With what we know seems likely, right? And the idea that what we're talking about is that you did this planning, like think about the assassination of community, think about the actions they've taken everywhere. It suddenly becomes terrorism, guys. It's suddenly become it always was, but you should now see it through that lens.

Starting point is 00:59:46 You've maliciously, surreptitiously manipulated the situation, hurt people, and then turned around and go wrong and is hurrying people. We have to help them. Well, you're hurting them. Then armed the crazy people you bring out everywhere who this indiscriminately murder anyone around them, kill people trying to protect the people on the ground. I mean, it's the same story everywhere you go from Ukraine to Syria, every single situation. And these have been proven on this show and plenty of others.

Starting point is 01:00:15 James Corbett's been doing this since I've ever since I started doing this. And he has always been breaking these things down. Going back to stories that you probably never even heard of. So they organized this, they executed this, and are now trying to use what they created to justify more violence, more control, more occupation. Like every other point we've talked about. We're triggered by decades of U.S. sanctions on Iran, which impacted Iran's currency. This is otherwise known as hybrid warfare. They have riots in the street.

Starting point is 01:00:46 They have horrible inflation, the worst in the world. Although this plan, don't forget the percent and plenty of people like proudly told you they did that. And anybody with a brain already knows that, but then they turn around and go, Iran can't manage its finances. So if they have to lie about something like that, answers the answer the question, guys. Failed spectacularly due to the resilience of the people of Iran and the state that protects them, the talking point about organic protests condemning the so-called regime, still pollutes discourse within the West, preventing solidarity with Iran, even as they fend off two nuclear powers. By accepting the imperiless narrative that the riots were organic, many within the West have taken a neither Washington nor Tehran approach, failing to condemn their own government's decades-long aggression on Iran.

Starting point is 01:01:36 The hybrid warfare model of sanctions, sabotage, and now all-out war was meant to decapitate Iran completely, leaving it open to American capitalists to privatize and take over Iran and its resources. And like everyone you've seen, you take it. a look for yourself. You pick. Iraq, Syria, Libya. They destroy it. They take, they, they reap what they didn't sow. And then they leave it in chaos. And maybe just leave, never leave the presence, keep it in chaos. But sometimes they just like literally officially occupy. But the point is you keep them in chaos so you can constantly reap the benefits that you did not work for. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant even openly admitted to using financial manipulation in order to push it onions to the street and overthrow the government.

Starting point is 01:02:28 Treasury, and what we have to do is have done is created a dollar shortage in the country. There was a run of the bank. The central bank had to print money. The Iranian currency went into free fall. Inflation exploded. And hence, we have seen the Iranian people out on the street. I mean, how can we be in a world where you can say that so publicly? What?

Starting point is 01:02:48 Because, well, Iran's evil. So we're going to collapse the infrastructure for the people. we claim we're trying to help, which will kill people, because in a long run, we'll get rid of the evil guy who will then replace with a guy who's way worse like we've seen in every situation. I mean, but you could publicly say, we did this. We manipulated the finances, which is why people are trying to get away from the dollar control to collapse their research, collapse their financial system. And then people protested and like he just because of what we created. Then Trump stands up and goes, look at what they're doing. The protesters will back you.

Starting point is 01:03:23 It's just artificial. Embarrassingly so. And this is what they're grappling with. Like take a step back from all of it if you're listening and you're new to this. What I just described there is what's happening everywhere. And whether you think it or not, and I could be wrong, but whether you see it or not, they see it. And the power structures are scrambling in my mind because it's just lazy. It's obvious.

Starting point is 01:03:43 People aren't buying it anymore, at least from a U.S. perspective. And so what I'm talking about is the effort to transition us into something different because the game is just not working anymore. Now, at the very least, give that some thought, because I think it's everywhere we're looking right now. We'll continue monitoring all the partners, all the Iranian partners. Iran has destroyed all of these plots and is now continuously delivering blow after blow to American regime bases as well as blows to the Israeli occupation. Even the mainstream media, which worked tirelessly to denounce Iran during the riots, is admitting that the plan failed. one has to ask those who refuse to stand in solidarity with Iran if you cannot respect an Asian sovereignty

Starting point is 01:04:29 if you ignore basic facts brought before you can you really stand for a people under siege now I would I would argue remember those protests I'll just show it so you can see that I would argue that you know you don't have to stand in solidarity with anybody if you don't want to you can just simply

Starting point is 01:04:48 identify the information You can call this out and say, well, they're lying about that. Well, that's a crime and that shouldn't be allowed, right? But you don't have to stand in solidarity. They always want you to choose aside. You don't have to do that. But if you feel you need to or you feel like it's important or you genuinely feel we're dealing with a good guy bad moment, it's up to you. You make those choices for yourself.

Starting point is 01:05:07 But the idea that you're supposed to, that's not the reality. I mean, anybody with a brain can call out that this war was illegally started. And that you can still also argue that Iran is doing evil things. I disagree with that in the broadest sense, but it doesn't change the fact that they're start an illegal war, right? So it's, we can, this is why it's so important to be able and willing to have sometimes contentious conversations when it comes to the information, but amicably disagree and just go, well, it's not always malicious when somebody has a different opinion. They need you to hate each other. They need you to be divided based on information because they

Starting point is 01:05:40 want you to stop looking at them. Now, here's what Gallaboff, remember the guy in the beginning that Israel claimed Trump was speaking with. It turns out not to be the case. And I think either were trying to get him killed. They're just trying to, or Trump maybe made it all up for all I know. But he says, eight hours ago to Donald Trump, your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living hell for every single family and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu's commands. Make no mistake.

Starting point is 01:06:09 You won't gain anything through war crimes. He says the only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending the dangerous game. He also says, We followed the money. I found this interesting. He says, last week, we're going to go into one quick point about finances before we go into the negotiation part.

Starting point is 01:06:27 Last week, he writes, the same scally boff, a handful of bankers and hedge funds met, decided to hold Washington's Iran war policy hostage, then launched a campaign, name names. And so he's not given information past that. So he's asking if they should release the names, he could be lying, of bankers and head fund managers

Starting point is 01:06:50 who just basically decided to hold Washington's policy hostage and, you know, and I get the sense he's clearly influencing some kind of technocratic Israel thing, because that's what he's talked about in the past, but 71% of people, out of 20,000, let me refresh it real quick. Yeah, about 18,000 votes, 71,000 said yes.

Starting point is 01:07:14 So it just, it could be a hype, could be a lie, but maybe he's going to release some information about the Wall Street side of this, which is always a part of these wars, bankers wars, right? Now, on that financial point, this is going to be important. I mean, for anybody who cares about what's going on in this country, but for those who really think outside of everything, maybe you, you know, against the war, against certain things,

Starting point is 01:07:37 but you think that somehow Trump has helped the country when it comes to finances or, you know, it's just not true. And I think what we're dealing with is, you know, more spending, bigger government, and basically everything was a lie. and what we're now finding out is that the $1.5 trillion military budget they're requesting comes at the expense of basically everything that the country wants and needs. Which if you need to understand, in my opinion, this is what our government does. I'm not sure why Trump is either more clumsy about it or he's being used to expose it to make it collapse around his feet for the larger agenda like we've worried about in the first administration.

Starting point is 01:08:15 I don't know. But just make sure you don't think it's just the way. It's probably more bombastic and more obvious, but look at the past administrations. It's a lot of hype and a lot of narrative and the same things get funded. The same agendas continue. But as Ron points out, they're just completely hollowing out what little services are left. This is dictionary definition of taxation without representation. One of the argued reasons why the revolution happened in the first place.

Starting point is 01:08:38 But headquarters, and I did check this, say for like one small variation on how some of the money is spent in one itemized thing. here, it seems to be exactly correct. Trump is seeking to pay for his new $1.5 trillion military budget by cutting the following. Now, this is seeking. It's not happening yet. But understand that this is on the table. When you look at their presenting for this, I'm not going to read them all, but guys, $510 million, grants for farmers, agriculture research. That's cutting that. $82 million. Loans for rural smart businesses, small businesses, $61 million, support for farmers, food markets, 240 million, schools, meals, food education, children abroad, $659 million, community building grants, 47 million, support for minority-owned businesses, 449 million, economic development grants for communities,

Starting point is 01:09:31 $1.6 billion, weather forecasting, fisheries, coastal protection, N-OAA, almost a billion dollars, scientific research and technology standards. Who cares about standards and process? Just let tech, let Peter Thiel do whatever he wants. Shut up. $150 million support for American exports and trade. $2 billion, broadband internet access programs. I mean, I'm willing to bet you it relates to the, like control, regulation, safety, something like that.

Starting point is 01:10:02 Because they're screaming forward with 6G. But look, $8.5 billion funding for public schools. Now, look, you may disagree with all of it, some of it. The point is not whether you agree with all of it or, you know, some of the things are pointing out, but that he has publicly claimed that this was not going to be the way this went. And of course, you can stand back and go, well, he didn't, even though he did absolutely plan this and absolutely initiated illegally without justification, you could argue that he had to do it, and this is not his choice now.

Starting point is 01:10:30 That'd be a lie, but you could argue it. 1.5 billion vocational training, ederal education. I mean, you go down the list, guys, roads, bridges, college, scientific research, environmental cleanup, cutting edge energy, cutting edge, energy, clean research. $150 billion, $4 billion for help paying home heating and cooling bills for low-income families. I mean, just on and on. Look at this list. 2.5 billion, clean drinking water, water infrastructure.

Starting point is 01:10:56 Yeah, it's not important. Go to war. Because that's literally what he's saying you need this for, guys. You just saw the clip. I'll play it right now. We can't do educal health care. We have our great daycare. We need to go to war.

Starting point is 01:11:09 You mean the war that we said wasn't a war that you actually promised you wouldn't do? that you're the peace president, it's just sad. Very sad. People to power point this out. You win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance? Well, I would do that. Child care is child care.

Starting point is 01:11:36 Couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it. In this country, you have to have it. We're going to make this into an incredible country. that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people, but we're gonna take care of our country first. This is about America first.

Starting point is 01:11:53 We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We're fighting wars. We can't take care of daycare. You gotta let a state take care of daycare, and they should.

Starting point is 01:12:04 Okay, so what's the only difference? War. We're fighting war. We can't do all this. Well, okay, well, he just said before in the position that that's what he would do. So was he was he, lying? Well, it's hard to say because my opinion is that Trump will, and maybe he means it

Starting point is 01:12:17 when he says it, but Trump will say whatever, like most politicians, you want to hear. Again, maybe he meant it at a time, but this is the point. Whether he meant it or not, what his track record shows is that he doesn't care when it comes to the moment. It's about whatever he needs, what his interests are, what the agenda will be, even if he somehow warps that into being in your long-term interest. Never seems to happen. So again, whether the intention is or not, you're being lied to. You're being misled. He's not doing what he's claiming. And this is just one point in a thousand of them, but it's really about the bigger picture of what it's really going to. War, as always. And those of us who have been standing back,

Starting point is 01:12:53 administration to administration, even before Trump's first showing you, it never changes. I'm hoping people, and I believe that's what's going on right now, are starting to go, man, look at this. Look at these grouping of people who are nonpartisan who are just constantly correct about what they seem to be doing and how long it goes and not veering away in certain partisan games or during midterms or during elections. They just stand to their principles. They stand with their beliefs. It's crazy, right? And compare it to a cartoon like Alex Jones or anybody else. And it's striking. It's impossible to miss. That's the big, think it's pulled me out of the equation. There's tons of other people out there. They're doing this way before I ever started and just

Starting point is 01:13:27 don't get pointed to. There's a reason for that, guys. Pay for it too. They should pay. They have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it. And we could lower our taxes a little bit to them to make up, but it's not possible for us to take care of daycare. then, or he was wrong in the first time. Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can't do it on a federal.

Starting point is 01:13:51 Oh, yeah, except all the countries that you've destroyed that were doing that. You know, like Libya and what was the one I was talking about? Iran, for example, in some cases, that Libya was a perfect example of that, that had free education, free health care, and they literally destroyed it because they wanted what they coveted it would have. They wanted to stop its gold-backed NAR. They wanted to stop it for independence. They want a number of things, in my opinion.

Starting point is 01:14:12 Either way, they said, you know, get rid of your nuclear arsenal and we'll let you be. And they did and they destroyed him. And then he was raped in the street to death. Not a joke. And of course, Hillary laughed about it and they all moved forward. They didn't do anything for them, by the way. All the Libyans, they claimed they were saving by doing that. They left them to the slave markets that were there and developed out they left. And then years go by, no one was talking about it anymore, but it was a horrible place because of what they did to it? And then it became this kind of warring thing with, what was it, Haftar and the different groups of the UN-back, U.S.-back groups fighting each other.

Starting point is 01:14:39 You know, meantime, all that time, guess who suffered the whole time? The people they claim they were trying to save. You know, like every other location they've ever claimed they were saving people. You think I'm lying about that? You're not paying attention. We have to take care of one thing. Military protection. We have to guard the country. That's it. And it doesn't mean guard the country in case you're not paying attention. He means invasion, occupation, destruction, military bases, because they believe that means protect the country. It doesn't. Not even remotely. Even if you think it's about defense, that ends up causing the very thing and blowback. And I mean, it's just, it's the whole long-term story. And it's not just because it's

Starting point is 01:15:13 being there. It's what they do when they're there. History speaks for itself. Here's somebody posted beneath this. I just see in this down below. What you voted for, lower grocery prices. What you got, higher grocery prices. What you voted for, less government, you got weaponized DOG, DOJ, DHS, DOD, you know, government control everywhere.

Starting point is 01:15:32 Lower gas prices became highest gas prices in 2020. Make us America safe became terror attacks and threats, or at least the claim in the threats, which either whether false or not are coming because of what they created. Strengthen global relations, alienated our allies, and the war in Ukraine, absolutely nothing, because it's still ongoing. Make America first. America's been last. End all wars, no new wars. Nine countries bombed, one invaded another soon.

Starting point is 01:15:56 Yeah, I mean, guys, you can blind yourself to it all you want. Everybody knows it's there. Now, Ali Aboumina, from Electronic Intifada points out, military personnel who are leaving the Middle East are finding themselves unable to pay their bill. of the government's not helping. Evacuation of U.S. troops from Middle East base sends community groups scrambling to help. As he says, extraordinary, American soldiers forced to flee Bahrain and other countries, after Iran destroyed their bases, which we'll get to, despite them lying about it, arrived in the U.S. with nothing and are turning to local charities

Starting point is 01:16:32 because the one trillion dollar budget to Pete Hagsath Pentagon can't even provide basic supplies. They evacuated back to the United States from their base in Bahrain after the base was attacked by drones. A call went out to community groups asking for basic supplies like hygiene products. The base was asking for donations because they were coming back with nothing. I mean, how is that even possible? Well, because the money goes towards their agenda at the expense of everything. And largely it is real, which, again, it's not even a joke. It's the reality.

Starting point is 01:17:06 Look at the information. Look at the funding. Look at the wars. look at the long-term plan five-country seven years seven countries five years and the whole thing on top of that as we've already been telling you Trump has gifted his entire life or this is grifted his entire life now he's just taking it says Lorraine Evanoff this is about the $1.25 billion on top of everything else that he's just taking for the board of peace the state department has already transferred as we told you it's kind of bombshell breaking news for a lot of people right now even though we told you about it last week.

Starting point is 01:17:40 $1.5 billion in foreign aid to Trump's Board of Peace, pulling $1 billion from international disaster assistance, 200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $50 million from international organizations. Now, regardless of whether you think they should go to those things or not, the point is your tax dollars are going to something that is outside the United States control. It's going to something Trump personally runs for the rest of his life

Starting point is 01:18:01 that works with Whitkoff, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, like terrible people, like the worst people in the room, and they're supposed to be the Board of Peace while they're committing genocide and lying about Iran's negotiations. I mean, he's robbing you right now. Money that Congress, by the way, on top of that it authorized four other purposes. So on top of the fact it is illegal because of what it is, he's making it's a secondary crime because they already authorized it for something else and he's just taking it. When reporters asked the State Department about it, the spokesperson said they had nothing to announce at this time. Very telling answer.

Starting point is 01:18:35 The border piece has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself chairman for life, which is just insane. No audits, no transparency, no requirements. This is what I argued was the new global order he's trying to build. Countries pay $1 billion to enter except Israel because they're special apparently. It's the truth. They don't have to pay the $1 billion.

Starting point is 01:18:56 And it's transferred nothing to Gaza, even though that's what they claim it's about. He's closed nothing about its spending and received $1.2 billion. I'm willing to bet you this is currently funding. their war right now for Israel. Not that really if you look at the big picture, that's a small amount, but in this moment, they needed it. And Catherine Austin Fitz says, yep, Congress has the power to reverse that. Why aren't they? You know why? They're involved, guys, left and right. They're all part of it. Now, former Army Chief of Staff, who was fired by Pete Heggseth, has spoken up and basically,

Starting point is 01:19:32 in a very subtle way, suggested that we deserve leaders of character. Didn't really blast too much, but I think the subtle point was there, that where we are is not leaders of character. I think everybody can see that. Now, here's an interesting back and forth, because if you didn't see this conversation, we'll point us in a second. It's very interesting. Now, I'm not sure whether you can, there's been, there's a lot of, as always, misinformation flying around about just about anything today. But they did fire a lot of people in very weird ways that nobody can get any answers about. the question, the wonder was whether this was some sort of transition of power.

Starting point is 01:20:09 And I've been saying this from the very beginning of this administration, the lack of ethics pledges, the influence from Israel, the influence of the tech world, the paleteer, you know, any number of elements. I mean, this government has been sold out a long time ago. Whatever we're watching right now seems to be a wholesale transition away from anything we thought we were dealing with. And this might be because of people are watching. Not everybody's on board. I'm not saying I can confirm this is even what's going on. But keep it in your mind because this is an interesting shift. As far as I can tell, it is unprecedented.

Starting point is 01:20:42 And here's the way he responded when asked about this from Congress. How many generals and admirals have you fired? I don't know the exact number. You don't know the number. It's eight. I mean, okay, take a second and think about that. You're going to tell me he doesn't know that it was eight? Does anybody believe that?

Starting point is 01:21:02 That's insane. I mean, you would, by answering eight, it would have been better for you, Pete. It would have made you look less like a sociopath. I don't know why. Can you explain why any of them were fired? Why was the Army Jag fired? Why did you fire him?

Starting point is 01:21:20 They all serve at the pleasure of the president. No, I'm just asking you why. General Kane is a great example. I'm just asking you why. And you can probably learn to Princeton what why means. Why did you fire him? They serve at the pleasure of the president. Why do you fire him?

Starting point is 01:21:33 You can't explain why you fired any of them. Gentlemen, times expired. Yes. Most transparent administration and history, ladies and gentlemen, clearly. Yeah, so, you know, wonder, wonder whether this is some kind of a coup. That's not that hard drop your mind around, guys. I mean, this, this society has jumped at shadows around those things and rightly consider them. We should for far less evidence. And I'm telling you, there's something very off about, I mean, I shouldn't have to like slow walk this. It's very clear that there's something alarming going on. And it seems like everybody can feel it. I talk to anybody anywhere. And whether they're really seeing it or not, I was just talking to pretty much my best friend. We live in a different place now, so we don't talk as much. But he said the same thing. It's like, you know, this feels like we're in something, like we're all in purgatory or something. Like it's some kind of weird, different feeling. It's like, whatever you want to think, oh, you know, I forgot to mention in the beginning, by the way, which that

Starting point is 01:22:30 brought to mine. I have some interviews coming up tomorrow. I'll be interviewing with, I think both will probably come out tomorrow. But Patrick Kenningson, he was recently in Ron. I'm not sure if he still is and what the hell is happening with Charlie Robinson. But the other point was, oh, and I just lost it. I just completely lost what I was talking about. That's so funny. Yeah, it's so frustrating. I mentioned those other two to give that point some context,

Starting point is 01:22:54 and then I forgot. Anyway, I guess back to the point. That drives me crazy. Something else I wanted to tell you. It was about the upcoming interviews. God, that's so crazy. I swear my mind locks down when I'm like trying to look for something. Like normally it's there. It's just so weird. Anyway, at least the two things were important.

Starting point is 01:23:16 I didn't want you to know was that I'll be doing those tomorrow with them, which will likely be in lieu of the show. It'll be talking about most of that same stuff in there. Oh, that's what it was. Thank you for somebody saying purge. So my friend saying that about what's going on. And that she's brought to my. Oh, that's what it was. Ah, there we go. Thank you for the K-Fugi for writing that it reminded me, was that I have another interview, which will be in a couple of days, I'm not for exact what day, but later on the week, another follow-up with Bibhu Dev Mizra, the author of the Yuga shift, more of an esoteric perspective, but his focus is really on the factual what you can prove, kind of overlapping it with the lore and the stories. But the point of that

Starting point is 01:23:58 being mentioned is that there's a very clear opinion through that conversation that argues that what they're all regarding 2030 is some kind of massive transition. People talk about the poll shifts and all kinds of stuff. I mean, there's evidence to consider about all these things. And so it's worth considering that this is some kind of weird thing we're dealing with. And that's why it's everyone's feeling it. But, you know, all the unverifiable stuff aside, I just want to include that I'll be doing those interviews.

Starting point is 01:24:23 Back to the point, consider that this is some kind of massive element, shift, change, cover up happening because of what we're discussing. Because there might be something massive going on that is, rifting away from what we always thought we were, or that you have another force taking over this country out of the hands of what once was run by the Constitution or guided the government. It's hard to say. But as this writes, the United States is facing an unprecedented constitutional crisis as a massive rift has opened between the White House and the highest levels of military leadership. This is getting a lot of traction for, but most of it's unverifiable.

Starting point is 01:24:58 It says the internal standoff follows reports that dozens of high-ranking generals collectively balked at orders to initiate large-scale ground offensive. Now I'm seeing tons of videos from people going, I talk to my friend in the military. So I'm starting to sense, question whether every one of them has a friend in the military, all willing to break the rules to tell you that they've denied this. Trust me, the sentiment, I almost feel I know is true,

Starting point is 01:25:21 whether or not those guys on Instagram saying they talk to somebody is actually true. I do know people who have family and friends that are in the military, who have given some similar sentiments. We do know Mike Prysner, for example, right in the beginning came out and told you that there were people being deployed. Remember that? Right in the beginning?

Starting point is 01:25:39 That was one of the reasons we talked about that and that they were being lied to and told it was training. Doesn't that all suddenly come back around? Let's see if I have that. Yeah, right here, perfect. That's a good one to include. In fact, for this very conversation today

Starting point is 01:25:55 because doesn't that then show you, these reports of servicemen deployed under the guise of training show you that this is all coming, they're lying because we are, that has always been happening, which we'll get to in a second even more. But the idea of the generals collectively balking at the orders, I mean, I get the sense that might be what we are, but I can't prove it.

Starting point is 01:26:15 The dismissal of 12 top officials, including chairman of joint chiefs of staff, represents the most significant purge military military military leadership in modern American history. Legal scholars are debating whether the general's refusal constitutes a lawful rejection of an illegal order. It's a fair point. Or an act of insubordination that threatens civilians control the military. Proponents of an invasion argue that the commander in chief has the absolute authority to direct military strategy. You know, and the point is simply that we should wonder what this is and was driving it. Now, of course, you get this from the classic, you know, this C3 is one of these propaganda, you know, very clear, hardcore pars and mag supporting accounts. They're the one, you know, oh my God, Obama's going down.

Starting point is 01:26:55 I was going to show you more today. I did have to happen every day. But there's like seven more argue. Same groups, the skiff, whatever else, going, oh, my God, Obama's information. It's coming down. They're going after a while. Pelosi's going to be in jail tomorrow. I doubt it.

Starting point is 01:27:06 I doubt it. Yeah, it's been there the entire. time, you know the story. It's painful how often, you know, these same accounts are the same things. So here we have this story, right? And what they're doing is illegal. What they're doing is wrong. Almost every American that I can see doesn't agree with it. Conservatives are clearly not supporting it. And, hey, quick step back. Didn't you don't remember all the Fox, I mean, even CNN going, most Republicans support the war. They do not. So even CNN was lying for Donald Trump. Make sure you think about that for a second. And so a point, C3 says, anyone get the feeling? Okay, so out of the gate,

Starting point is 01:27:42 make sure you recognize he's giving you a woo-woo feeling sentiment that's based on nothing but his opinion. And it says, the deep state tried to remove Hegseth. So they had control of the military. That's a question, I guess. They didn't want a man with we, the people, on his arm, on his arm, right? Because the tattoo means he believes it, right? Even though he's working for another country. Got it. In control of the military, while potis. Trump cleans up the mess they created to save the America world. They're cleaning up the mess, which looks like belligerence and violence and terror and torture and mill, yeah, but it's cleaning the world.

Starting point is 01:28:17 Just pretend, right? Ignore all the terrible things you're seeing and just pretend that that's what it looks like to clean up the world. You know, just a little bit of genocide as you do, you know, a little bit of robbing, stealing and torture. It all work out in the end, trust E3, because they know they had a feeling. The body and then protect Pete. This is just shameless efforts, which by the way,

Starting point is 01:28:36 seemed to getting a lot less engagement these days. Who knows why? I think most of this has been driven by the platform, and I think it's becoming embarrassingly obvious now. Either way, at the end of the day, this is just about trying to get you to stop paying attention, I think. Fact check, whatever this platform is. I just thought it's news.

Starting point is 01:28:55 Whatever that says, M-EAW.com. This is just one of the reports that I found. Again, first one that I came across that I was looking at that thought was reasonably well over you. The simple point, are U.S. soldiers refusing to be deployed in Iran. Now, you can read through this.

Starting point is 01:29:12 I think the evidence is pretty clear. You know, the ongoing U.S. Iran war is now entered its third week with no ceasefire in sight. Intense aerial campaigns have severely degraded Iran's missile drone and naval capabilities, which is not really the case for the most part. But it says, meanwhile, Iran has retaliated by closing the straight. Also not true. We'll get into a second. Launching attacks on regional U.S. bases allies, triggering a broader regional crisis,

Starting point is 01:29:31 which they didn't do. That wasn't, they're not the ones that turned us into what that is. But it says, amid this, the center of conscious, center on conscience and war. That's Mike Prysner's group. Quoted family members of service members and soldiers where a woman said her husband wants nothing to do with this war and is not alone. So you can hear the conversations saying there's a lot of people.

Starting point is 01:29:52 It's a long thread. All she just include the thread too. And again, it's take it for take of the grain of assault. Take it because it's just him stating these things, right? But he has a group that works with military personnel. And he's, I think he's been proven right about the last one. one. We have spoken with them and they're basically just saying that, you know, they want to do with this. They don't believe in the war. So consider that for yourself. And so the question

Starting point is 01:30:16 that becomes, is this that unpopular? I do think it is. And then would that then bleed into the military personnel, which maybe that's why they're being removed? Now let's talk about, first of all, well, the straight of Hermuz, but first, an interesting point to be made about what Iran is really, you know, what it appears the intention is. Can't know for sure. Only, only, only, only, you do is based it on what they say and the follow through, right? Past action, the statements, past actions, and follow through, right? And that's the only thing you can do. That doesn't necessarily prove that they might not mean or think something else. But if all they ever do is go one direction regardless of what they say, then it kind of suggests that they don't mean

Starting point is 01:30:57 what they say, right? So in this case, the reverse kind of point. You might have seen these Lego video. I've been sharing just because it's obvious that they're meant to influence opinion and it's coming from Iran, even though most of what they point to is I think, I actually think is completely the accurate, but it's done in a way that seems a little bit more. Like, I think it's very important that we don't take sides when it comes to these things, especially as somebody reporting on the information. Even if I may argue, like in this case, that what one side is doing is far, is obviously the problem in the dynamic.

Starting point is 01:31:27 But the point is that they're funny. It's worth watching. And apparently they're going wildly viral and it's upsetting them. But it's coming, what I believe is from an Iran-influenced account, which is basically creating these like million views. Lego videos that are making fun of Trump and Netanyahu and really exposing things I think are true. But Joe wrote says Iran. Here are, and this is, I've been telling you this my entire career, and he's right.

Starting point is 01:31:53 They says, here are four pages explaining why we fight the American government, not the American people. And guys, I mean, it is endless. It's sort of like the game of the nuclear conversation where they come out and say, we don't want a nuclear bomb. We never will seek one and we never have. now they don't come out and go they're lying Trump and the rest of them simply come out and go they refuse to get rid of a nuclear bomb so right there is a disconnect

Starting point is 01:32:16 because you could argue they're lying and that wouldn't be that would probably receive the same but instead of saying they're lying they just pretend that they said they won't which shows you that they have to be dishonest so in this conversation guys over the years Iran has been very clear we are fighting the American government the Israeli government we're not fighting the peoples they use the language barrier and tons of the things to misrepresent it And, you know, the point is saying, like, for example, with Hamas, historically, because Israel, in their language overlap, says that Israel is the Jews. And so that becomes death to the Jews.

Starting point is 01:32:47 They frame it as they hate the Jews. But over the years, Hamas and plenty of others have adjusted their charters and said, look, we mean the Zionists. That's who we're aiming at. And you can call them liars. But historically and going forward, I think you can pretty clearly see that's the case. Same kind of idea here. They've made it clear. It's the government's we're aiming at.

Starting point is 01:33:05 It's not, you know, my point was they say death to America or what? whatever, right? The great Satan, well, that's talking about the actions from the government, not the average John and sitting on the corner, Joe sitting on the corner, right? That's not the point. So they have stressed that and recently argued this is the case. We're not fighting you. So he writes Americans. We can't read all that, which is whether the case or not. Most people seem to disregard that they say that. Trump lies about what they mean. Iran goes, okay, here's AI Lego videos calling your leaders drunk rapists. Americans. Damn, solid point. It's kind of funny.

Starting point is 01:33:37 I get what the point is that it seems both with like Trump, Cambridge Analytica, memes, last election. Same thing is that the medium through which some generations and categories of people are influenced seems to be low brow, lowest common denominator. And they're realizing that coming out and giving you factual information goes somewhere. I hear it. I think a lot of people do. But at the end of the day, a funny, well put together Lego video that doesn't actually give you facts seems to influence opinion in some cases more than the actual facts. Damn it, that's depressing. But I don't believe it's the majority.

Starting point is 01:34:10 The point overall is simply that they're not fighting you, America. They're not fighting American people. I believe that. Don't take my word for it. Look at their actions. Look at the past. Look at what they say. Look at what they do.

Starting point is 01:34:21 How they went to the UN and said, hey, we don't want this. They're going to bomb us. We don't want any part of this. And you've got to call them the aggressors. We can't be this easy to fool, guys. So here, Brotherhood writes, and this is important to hear, but I think the way he frames at the end, I think, is the problem. He says, Iran, literally.

Starting point is 01:34:37 screams death to America, right? We hear that from everybody. Rubio, death through that, which means somehow they want to murder your family. It's just not true, at least from what I can prove, in my opinion. If they did even a fraction, Brotherhood says, of what we've done to them in the 20th century alone, we would also be saying death to Iran. Well, that's debatable, but the point is that we would be saying the government that did this is the problem, right? Here's a history lesson, he says, 1951. Iran's democratically elected. leader Muhammad Mazadek, who was very pro-Western governments, very much loved democracy, he had pictures next to the Liberty Bell, told you a million times. And he just, but he was

Starting point is 01:35:17 unwilling to, and look, even they regarded him this way at the time. They were just, he was unwilling to cow to their interests. So they killed him, got rid of him, or rather just removed him and put someone in place that would kill for them. And it says, who wins overwhelming and has promised to nationalize Iranian oil. And they don't want that. They want the outsourcing. They wanted to go to their people at the expense of Iranians. Fifty-three, of course. they overthrow him. 54, U.S. drafts a consortium agreement,

Starting point is 01:35:41 guaranteeing 50% of Iran's oil profits go to American-friendly corporations for 25 years. That's what we're talking about today, guys. They just, I mean, frankly, Trump just said, he's going right back to making it obvious. In the mid, in the middle part,

Starting point is 01:35:52 they pretend like it was for other things and for freedom. Now they're right back to take the oil for money, which is obvious, I think. 57. I mean, you go down a list, guys. The CIA massage train up a secret police in Iran called the Savok, which was horrifying. And that was the group.

Starting point is 01:36:07 is operated like a KGB that cracked down on Iranians. If you weren't in the elitist upper circle, an oligarch in Iran, a West Iranian and they're like pro-Shah Iran and Western, then you were destitute, guys, and you can ask Rock if you think that makes it make more clear. Or you can just look up the history that shows people lived in absolute squalor. Most everybody in Iran was suffering outside of that upper, and it's very clear.

Starting point is 01:36:31 They just lied to you. Surprise, surprise. 60, 78, the Shah, the U.S. request would purchase. I mean, you go down the list, the point is they've admit this isn't even a fraction of it. You can go to the long-term list of them manipulating Iran. The point I wanted to make is even somebody who thinks that Iran's the bad guy, which this guy seems to do, can still stand back and go look at what they've been doing to them their whole lives. Of course they want to fight back. And they didn't even start this fight, guys.

Starting point is 01:36:56 But it says, yes, they hate us. I don't agree with that. They hate the government. That was my point to the last post. They knew what they're doing to them. They know what the government's doing. And they actually think, look, you don't think they see our content? That's why they post those Lego videos.

Starting point is 01:37:08 They're looking at people like us who are going, A, and I think that most of the world is starting to see that we are not represented by them, but also consider that Iran may want to abuse us just the same way. It's a government, but the facts are what I care about. And it says, yes, they kill troops in the region. Well, not really, though. What are you talking about? What troops are we talking about?

Starting point is 01:37:27 You mean after you bomb them and they responded? Because that is the only example I can see outside of the invasion of Iraq where they were killing troops. And the illegal invasion of Iraq, based on the illegal invasion of Iraq, based on the live WMDs. Remember that? And Soleimani was the largest effort to fight the actual ISIS elements and they killed him for it. And it says, yes, they fund proxies that attack Israel. I don't agree with that. They have allies that are all at odds against the illegal occupation, invasion and torture and suffering and the same story. And maybe in that effort to fight back

Starting point is 01:37:56 against this horrible long-term thing that they have done their own horrible long-term thing. It doesn't change the fact that what we're talking about is the illegal occupation of Palestine that has spun out of the greater Israel that's causing strife for everybody, everybody. Now, this Iranian supported account simply says, do you know why, you know Iran produces over 90 to 97% of its medicines domestically? You know, why? Because the United States government's been sanctioning them and swearing it doesn't affect medicine for years.

Starting point is 01:38:28 But it does. U.S. sanctions since 1979 have blocked medicines to Iran. They lie about it. You ask them, they lie, but you can easily prove it. But they just lie. like every other part of the story, and somehow we just can't seem to see through that. But so Iran has developed its own pharmaceutical research

Starting point is 01:38:43 and manufacturing to take care of their people. Maybe not, though. Maybe pharmaceuticals there are just as bad as here. Not the point. It says now the U.S. and Israel, which they are easily proven, I think even Reuters was reporting on it, are bombing Iran's medical research facilities and pharmaceutical factories.

Starting point is 01:38:59 You know, but hashtag freedom and democracy and, you know, fighting the terrorism. This is terrorism. This is the most obvious representation of terrorism, I think I've ever covered my entire life. The entire thing of this whole agenda, it's objective. It's clear. They are, I mean, we're going to get to the statements of Trump, the statements of the

Starting point is 01:39:18 right. I mean, they're literally going, we're going to kill you. You don't give us what we want. How is that not terrorism? Threatening to bomb civilian locations. Like this one. This was April 2nd on my birthday, actually, that they bombed this bridge. A new video from the moment that a second U.S.

Starting point is 01:39:34 is rarely strike targeted the B1 bridge. killing 13 civilians. Now you're going to find some of the people like Jones and the rest reporting it today like it's brand new information. I'm not sure why. It happened on the second. Sean King, as Israel does in Gaza, the U.S. blew up this bridge.

Starting point is 01:39:48 Then, and this is important, because they do it everywhere I've ever covered their wars, guys. Both the U.S. and Israel. They bombed the bridge. Then they paused. Then they waited. Then they bombed and killed the rescue workers that showed up. This happens every time.

Starting point is 01:40:06 It's horrifying. But it's wildly documented. At one point, the human rights, they used to document this. I think they still do, but it doesn't get discussed. They can report.

Starting point is 01:40:18 They use white phosphorus so they can kill people and just war crimes, bomb to school. Just passes like nothing matters. Because to them it doesn't, guys. It matters to me.

Starting point is 01:40:28 Matters to you. But what you need to see is it doesn't matter to them. Understand that. It doesn't mean you can change at this moment, but mark that down. Do not miss whether it's Trump or Biden or they don't care.

Starting point is 01:40:40 They don't care because if they cared any level of it, any part of Congress, something would be done. Here's the White House into the ridiculousness of their dealmaking. Now, we've been covering this. And look, it's weird to me how often, you know, all, I mean, just let's say the IMA. Everybody in this group, how often we will discuss something. And I'm not talking about some like inside, you know, because there's people out there doing great work today doing like real investigatory investigative journalism where they are breaking down documents and and that because that's you know if that happened to come across or somebody gave me

Starting point is 01:41:18 something I hadn't seen or I was out there on the street and I found yeah I mean that I've done that in the past in some cases I do my own deeper investigations on certain stories that aren't the same as sort of just grabbing what but largely as I've always pointed out this show is an aggregation of information my goal is to present you with an easily digestible kind of view of what seems be most important. And over the years, that's gotten longer because more seems to be important, in my opinion, and it's happening. But my point in saying all that is that, you know, it's, it's very clear over the years that we'll discuss something that's just in the surface. It's everyone's talking about it. And I go, okay, well, here's what we were seeing. Here's what they've done so far.

Starting point is 01:41:53 Here's kind of way I see this is going to go. And in many cases, nobody else making this points. And then it happens. And then, you know, the typical Jones and the rest go, oh, my God, the thing and breaking news. And nobody, nobody seems to go back and go, well, on. Isn't that exactly what Derek Rose was saying was going to happen? Why doesn't that get acknowledged? Why isn't that because this system is broken? Now, it doesn't matter at the end of the day as long as we'll see it, but that's one of the reasons people don't see it, especially those that need to see it. So in this conversation, we were talking about how right in the beginning, right in them, when he started going, well, we're dealing with somebody else from Iran and the stake negotiations

Starting point is 01:42:29 was, I don't buy it. This feels fake. It doesn't seem that I didn't know for sure. And still even right now, maybe tomorrow, it'll turn out to somehow magically correct. And they were all playing you because we can be objective about that. But as I said, on March 25th, Trump's claims of an Iranian defector belied by the new U.S. Opposals for the Iranian leadership. And day after day after day, it seems to go from we're dealing with them. And now, you better hurry up or you're all going to die or like some weird, completely count like, it's like the antithesis.

Starting point is 01:42:56 You can't say we're having great negotiations and we're right about to make a deal. And then a minute later say, we're going to bomb you to the Stone Age if you don't do what we need. well, if you're over here dealing for the things you need, then why would you state that either he's just thinking that's how he negotiates or he's lying about the deal? Now, in some case, it's both, but I think we need to understand that he's being, I think he's wholesale lying to you, either for market control, which is what a lot of people seem to suggest, that it's about the keeping the markets in a certain place so it can benefit his people and his inner circle, or it's just about the elongation of the agenda for his real sake.

Starting point is 01:43:33 But either way, they're lying to you about these negotiations. And I think the real point is just desperation. I think he is desperate. I think he's either trapped, not in control, and doesn't know what to do, or is becoming aware that that's the case and doesn't know what to do. So here's what he said yesterday. After what we already saw it, I mean, I could go back and show you step. I mean, in fact, I will point to this breakdown from GDG politics, which is just embarrassing.

Starting point is 01:43:59 But we can go through each post and just show you how insanely, it just, that's right word for it. incongruent, like just inconsistent. It's just, you know, it's just dishonest, guys. He says, first he posts, remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the straight, which is right there, coercive. That's not, you're saying, do what I want. Or we're going to bomb you.

Starting point is 01:44:23 Because he's not saying, let's discuss a deal that works in your favor. They're going, here's what we demand. Agree to this or we're going to bomb you. It's not that, no, they're the only ones doing that. Time is running out. 48 hours before all hell will rain down on them. Glory be to God. I mean, this is my point, guys,

Starting point is 01:44:43 that you're wrapping in your religious perspective with threats of murder, which is insanely disgusting, not Christian, not any religion, in my opinion, but on top of that, that what you're ultimately doing is basic terrorism. You're threatening by force that if you don't give us the thing,

Starting point is 01:45:01 we're going to bomb you. Glory to God. Right? I mean, that is textbook terrorism stuff. If this was a Muslim person in a Muslim country saying, we demand this or we will kill you. Praise me to Allah. What would you say, Laura Lumer?

Starting point is 01:45:16 You damn well know what it was. Because I would agree that would be an example of extremism. If active terrorism, same point here. But you see the dishonest, ridiculous cartoons like Lumer can't, will not acknowledge that this is way worse than the hypothetical they're framing. Most cases are being played by Mossad or put on MEMRI. these broken, manipulated points. And that's not to say that there's not extreme Muslims.

Starting point is 01:45:38 There obviously are. Many of which, by the way, are funded and manipulated, who really are extreme, but are being guided at the top by people that Muhammad bin Salman admitted were run by Mossad in Israel or Israel in the United States. His statement, by the way, that they just lost control. But I hope we're coming to terms with the reality of what these groups have always been.

Starting point is 01:45:57 ISIS al-Qaeda. These are proxy elements. The very things that are always framing is what Iran is doing, which makes sense when you realize how their entire, life they've been projecting what they've been doing around the world. Okay, so this was the fourth. 48 hours. Well, you just bombed their bridge two days ago. In the middle of your supposed wait for this to come to pass, didn't you said 10 days, right? So if you go back two days ago, you bombed a bridge. Israel's bombing nonstop, by the way. So what are we even talking about?

Starting point is 01:46:25 This is we're making fun of. So you just decide to pick this back up again and go, you've still got 48 hours. You bombed them, though. So wouldn't that, then change this gain? It doesn't because he's just, it's all one day to the next. And honestly, I do agree. This might just be to get a little pump in the, in the, you know, stock market, it was just some kind of a financial turn that may, you know, maybe the prices of oil go down just a little bit. Now, as Adam Cockard points out, he posted this later in the day, Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern Time. How was today? Okay. Well, wait a minute. Didn't you just say 48 hours yesterday. So now suddenly wait. Now it's Tuesday? Hold on a minute. And so Adam says, when you change the

Starting point is 01:47:09 deadline eight times, the other side no longer worries about the deadline. I mean, it's embarrassing. You think we, they must know we can see this. So that's why I'm wondering whether this is being, I mean, you think Trump's not embarrassed by this, guys? So why did you do it? Truly ask yourself that. Here's the actual post today. I don't even, I mean, what does that mean? What does that mean? obviously people are going to take that as meaning his supposed fake ceasefire negotiation, which don't forget, like I've been telling you, Iran is not even dealing with them. As we said, oops, this one. Iran refuses to meet or deal with the U.S. government.

Starting point is 01:47:51 They publicly made this clear, and the people they claim they're talking to either don't exist or Ghalabov is speaking up going, we're not talking to you. And even if you think maybe they're dealing with them, then why would Trump have to lie about tankers, which he did? That was proven. There was not eight to ten tankers going through. I think he was actually lied to about that from someone of his inner circle and Israel. Either way, it wasn't true. So they're not even meeting with them.

Starting point is 01:48:14 Even with Pakistan and Turkey, they're relaying messages and they're going, we don't want at least what they're claiming. And my point was if you watch the follow through, all you keep getting is Trump extending and lying and floundering. So it seems pretty clear that that's the case. So DD geopolitics. The Trump timeline, January 18th, Iranian, Patriots, help is coming. We're moving in. And remember, they were arming them. They were,

Starting point is 01:48:37 they were creating this whole thing. Twenty-eight the February. We're our launching decisive operation. We'll be very fast. That's after, of course, they had agreed to the deal, Iran, and then Israel drove them to attack because they either lied to Trump about an imminent threat or they were all in control anyway. March 2nd. We will win easily. March 3rd, we will have won the war. You've got to laugh at how stupid that is. He went on saying that for days after that. We won already. It's over. Leave it said. We won. They just haven't realized yet. Oh, God. What is that if not desperate, guys? March 7th, we defeated Iran. That was, that's a week later. March 9th. Strike Iran. The war is almost over. Clean and decisive.

Starting point is 01:49:19 March 12th. We have won, but not completely yet. March 13. You throw real quotes. We won the war again. March 14. We need help to open the straight. March 15. If you don't help, I will remember it. March 16th. We actually. don't need help. I was testing loyalty. Now, these are somewhat like part paraphrasing. If NATO doesn't help, consequences will follow. March 17, we don't need NATO help and don't want it. No Congress approval needed to exit NATO. March 18th, allies must cooperate to open the straight. Okay, March 19th, U.S. Allies must step up and help open the straight. March 20th. NATO is cowardly. We may phase this out. March 21st, we don't use the straight. Others need it,

Starting point is 01:49:58 not us. March 22nd. Final warning. Iran has 48 hours. Iran is finished. March 23rd. One more week. Then we bomb power plants, which would have been crime. March 24th, and they were already, by the way, the war is nearing its end. You said you won back on March 3rd. March 25th, we are negotiating with Iran. Wasn't true. Very clearly, they lied about that. Mars 26, the Ron is begging for peace. Also not true. They gave us a gift. Also not true. We delayed power strikes on power plants. What he's trying to do is use circumstances that are already the reality to claim like he drove them to that point. I think it's clear he's trying to find a way out.

Starting point is 01:50:33 And he can't just back away because Israel won't probably be happy with that, and that'll make him look weak and then show that everything he did was a lie. So he is either trying to get Iran to give him something, which I doubt they will at this point, or just doubling down on the bombing. But that's not America first, and it sure is all going to kill Americans, especially since Israel's saying it's not our war anyway. It's only you guys. It's America's war.

Starting point is 01:50:57 No joke. As they just said, we're not going to play troops. guess what, guys, we were right yet again. Anybody out there telling you this is the way it was going to go because they paid attention before, already knew that. That Israel will push the U.S. in these wars and then let them fight them for them

Starting point is 01:51:10 and let Americans die. And then later claim credit for it, which is what they've done before. March 27th, I and the Aitola will jointly manage the Strait of Hermose. What a clown. Remember, that's the son who right before that, he told you was ineffectual and not really there,

Starting point is 01:51:25 maybe dead, in a cave, and who knows, and then, yeah, but now we're going to manage it together. March 28th, regime change has occurred to Ron. What he said was, well, you know, they're not the same regime, so they've changed, right? So, technically regime change. That's not even like a clever wordplay, guys. So you tell me if one of them changes their shoes, now it's a regime change? All right.

Starting point is 01:51:45 March 29th, negotiations with Iran are going extremely well. Nope. March 30th, we are prepared to destroy Iran's oil, energy, infrastructure, and occupied cargo islands. Mars 31st, we are ready to end the war without opening the strait. So all that bluster, and now we might just leave without it. April 1st, war ends in three days. We'll bomb them for two to three weeks back to the Stone Age. April 2nd.

Starting point is 01:52:08 We destroyed three major bridges. Why haven't they called us yet? Sad. Very sad. Now, Saeed Mohamed Marendi points out, due to the attacks by the U.S. and Israeli regimes on certain energy infrastructure, Iran has decided to block all diplomatic communication channels between Iran and the United States. Now, this is already as far as I can tell what they were doing, but this is April 4th.

Starting point is 01:52:29 And I mean, this is somebody who has far more insight into what they're doing than I or anybody else I would argue. And it says, according to this decision, given Iran's upper hand on the battlefield, which, guys, if we're not acknowledging that by this point, you're not paying attention in my opinion. If the attacks on Iran escalate in the same manner, communication avenues will remain closed until the U.S. congressional elections, which I guess they would think that it might change then. I don't know why, but at least they're going to, you know, what I think it would show is they probably know nothing will change. but at the very least, they've always been involved in the process. It's not what you could say for the U.S. and Israel, guys. Now, due to the attacks by them on their energy, which are crimes, those are war crimes. They've decided to block all communication.

Starting point is 01:53:13 Now, that's not just, like this is what I'm trying to say before is they weren't, you know, sitting down and denying it, which is what Trump keeps saying. We're talking and they said we're open to it. We're considering it. No, they're not. They turned you down flatly and you're just lying about that. And now he's backing this up, simply saying, look, they've shut down any communications. communications channels. They're waiting for the next administration because they've demonstrated

Starting point is 01:53:32 they lie about everything. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Telle Green discussing what he posted today, which we'll read in second. She says on Easter morning today, this is what President Trump posted. Now, look, if you understand and you know what Trump is and you've read what he's written before, the guy is not a Christian in my opinion. He's not even Republican. He's a fair weather politician, power-hungry person, like most people in these fields. The point in saying that is that I don't believe he cares about what he claims he does, but let's just say you believe he does. Well, that means you think he's a Christian fighting for the Christian right,

Starting point is 01:54:13 Christ is king and all the stuff you hear from them. And yet then Hegset, the rest will talk about murdering people and frame it and, you know, God willing. And I don't care if you think they're bad people or not. It's not in the line with your religion to cheer the death of anybody. But yet this is the kind of. kind of, you know, and this is that whole weird, just like you have the Zionist manipulation of Judaism, you have the Zionist manipulation of Christianity, and you have these extremist maniacal,

Starting point is 01:54:38 sociopathic Christian Zionists who are really just working for Zionism at its whole, as core, who are manipulating people in this country who believe they actually believe the same things they do. They do not. It is a bastardization of everything they're involved in, and what we're talking about here is that Trump on Easter today posts this. Today will be a power plant day, a bridge day. all wrapped in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the effing straight. He cut, I mean, that's not the biggest deal in the world,

Starting point is 01:55:10 but he cussed on Easter. If you're very strict, that should bother you, especially if the way you frame him as you all do, that should post, that should mean something to you. Open the effing straight, you crazy BAST-R-Ds, or you'll be living in hell. In hell? The government?

Starting point is 01:55:30 or everybody in Iran. I mean, there's no way you do couple this, because they're not, they're the ones telling you, they don't even know where they are. So, and on top of that, you said bridges and power plants. You're openly, brazenly telling us

Starting point is 01:55:42 you're going to be targeting civilians. And this is on Easter? You praise this? You realize there's tons of Christians in Iran, by the way, despite what the narratives will tell you. And it says, praise be to Allah. That is what he posted. I'm trying to think if there was,

Starting point is 01:55:59 I'm 100% sure he posted that, but I think I have a link in here somewhere. Otherwise, I was going to go grab it real quick. But interesting to think about. Well, I think the point is always just to be, you know, praise to God, praise to Allah, because of the same thing, by the way, at the end of the day, different perspective on what the religion is, but the idea is the word means God. But funny, though, is Lumer would probably freak out if Biden said it, but totally won't care

Starting point is 01:56:20 what Trump does. But either way, that is not a religious perspective. That is not a man of God or a man that believes in God. This is a person, in my opinion, I shouldn't say it like that because people can believe whatever they want and be wrong. But this is a person who is not practice those things. like any of them do, guys. Now, everyone in this administration, she writes,

Starting point is 01:56:39 this is Marjorie Tone Green, somebody who he praised to high heaven until she had her own opinions. And I don't trust her, just be clear. Everyone in this administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God

Starting point is 01:56:54 and stop worshipping the president and intervene in Trump's madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane. And all of you are complicit. I'm not defending Iran, but let's be honest about all this. And here's what's interesting to me.

Starting point is 01:57:13 What I keep talking about guys is, like, these people could have every different opinion. They could want every immigrant gone and whatever else, or they want to just send them all to El Salvador. They want to, you know, I'm just trying to think the most extreme things that average people left or right have a problem with. Not illegal immigrants and illegality there,

Starting point is 01:57:28 but the way that they're dealing with ICE, the surveillance, the, you know, all this different stuff. Zionism control over our country under the guise of America first. My point is that we may disagree on everything, the path to it. You know, disagree on the wedge issue, disagree on immigrant. But at the core, this is what I call the Charlie Kirk problem, you have the inner part of this Republican party, the ones who didn't realize at the very least,

Starting point is 01:57:52 who are going, hold on a second, these Christian Zionists are not even on the same path with us. They don't even, but they stand next to us and they scream America first, but then they go out and do those things. They go out and they, you know, and that is what Charlie Kirk, I'm convinced, became aware of,

Starting point is 01:58:07 the difference between Israel and Zionism, between Judaism and Zionism, and realized that Zionism was the thing influencing Trump to do the things he knew were not America first, not necessarily everybody in Israel. And that, I believe,

Starting point is 01:58:20 is what got him killed. In this case, what she's highlighting is the same point. She's addressing directly the people that I think are the higher level, people around Trump who are not the Zionists. And she's saying, I'm not defending Iran, but let's be honest about this.

Starting point is 01:58:35 She's going, I know you see it, guys. Stop playing this game. The street is closed. It's not. We'll go over this in a second. It's restricted. Yes. One of those things I keep talking about, guys, everybody everywhere seems to just go with

Starting point is 01:58:46 this line, even though it's not true. Like, at its core sense of the word, it's not closed. And even if you want to argue one ship, it's still not closed, but it's more than that. We'll go into it next. But still laugh at how everybody seems to just toe the line. because there's like a bar that everyone just goes along with. It kills me. Plenty people independent media doing the same thing.

Starting point is 01:59:06 The straight is closed because the U.S. and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they've been telling for decades. That any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon, you know who has nuclear weapons. Israel. Now think about what she just said right there. Not like some big bombshell that you didn't know. She's addressing these people as if, look, I know you know. I know you know this because I agree with her.

Starting point is 01:59:32 I know they do. Now, for whatever reason, they've carved this out. They've ignored it. But this is my opinion, what I believe she's addressing are the people who care about it, but have ignored it because they want to support the team. Kamala was worse and are now starting to become uncomfortably aware of something that was worse than all of it to put together. And she's simply going, that is the focal point.

Starting point is 01:59:52 They are more than capable of defending themselves without the U.S. having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people. The very people Trump claimed he was freeing. It's no different. And I know Marjor knows this, I believe. Every other warrior involved is the same thing. Every single one of them.

Starting point is 02:00:15 On Easter of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another, even our enemies. You don't just get to pick and choose, guys. That's how you play this when you do the same thing in reverse. Selectively pick out one thing and go, they're all monsters when you could do the same thing back. They're all, there's so much dishonesty today. She goes on, our president is not a Christian.

Starting point is 02:00:48 We repeat that. She says, our president is not a Christian. I said the same thing. I've said that for the beginning. and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace, urging the president to make peace, not escalating war that is hurting people.

Starting point is 02:01:07 This is not what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024. I disagree in the regality of how our process even works, but that's not going to get into it now. I know she says I was there more than most. This is not making America great again. This is evil. Now, you know, maybe she's seeing it.

Starting point is 02:01:25 I hope so. And I will stand by the statements and hope that whether she runs or not, which would make me feel she's not honest. I'll still hope that she is just taking that's the path, but I'll question everything they do like any of them. Question everything. Consider all possibilities. Very simple. But on top of it, though, don't you think she should have seen this before like anybody else? It was there, guys. It was obvious from the very beginning. Why was she suddenly cheering this on? Why was she saying rah-rah is real until suddenly she turned? I don't know. Maybe she was, at the very least, consider that she was lying to you before because she felt like that was interest or whatever, for whatever reason, change tune.

Starting point is 02:01:57 I don't care what it is as long as the information's getting out and people are looking at the truth, but question whether their intentions are wrong. Now, here's what he's saying today. Trump says he can get a deal with Iran by Monday or blow everything up. Why don't, why are we just collectively laughing at this person right now, which I kind of think that's where we are? What do you mean make a deal? So you just said you are, you said 30 seconds ago that they already made a deal.

Starting point is 02:02:22 And you just say they gave you wet boats full of oil? they didn't by the way but make a deal with a row by Monday but wait you just posted Tuesday at 8 p.m. It's worth this person is worthy of ridicule very much so. The

Starting point is 02:02:43 cobesi letter writes breaking Iran speaker of the parliament response to President Trump's statement saying that we're making a deal can you guess what they said quote your reckless moves are dragging the United States into a living hell for every single family and our whole region is going to burn because you insist on following Netanyahu's commands. The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending

Starting point is 02:03:07 this dangerous game. Read in the other article. So Trump comes out and says, we're making a deal with them or we're going to kill you, you know, whichever way it goes. So stupid. And they simply go, you're being reckless. We're not talking to you. As Miranda pointed out, we're not even in communication with you right now, at least as the information shows. So what do you think this means? Like just in this one point, why would he do that? I mean, clearly that's not a point of power. You're not in some kind of like negotiating powerful position if you have to just make things up.

Starting point is 02:03:37 You know, okay, just for the sake of conversation, maybe they are in their control, they're completely dominating it, but Trump is playing with the narratives to manipulate financially to gain people extra money until they do what they're going to do. Would still be disgusting because that means they're drawing it out to gain while people die.

Starting point is 02:03:53 But I mean, there's really no way you can look at this without thinking that there's something amiss. I think it's, you know, Occam's razor. It's simple. I think he's lying to you. And I think it's because they are losing, as I think the evidence shows. So on the point of the oil, before we get into the other parts, because this seems to be one of the focal points for everybody, for him included. Glenn Deeson says, at least saying the quiet part out loud, stealing the oil is more honest than his predecessor's claim of waging wars to liberate the oppressed.

Starting point is 02:04:21 I agree. That's the one thing we've always pointed out is that, and I don't think it's because I don't think Trump's doing it to benefit you. but we've always pointed out that at the very least Trump takes the mask off. We're there to take the oil, right? Take the oil, whatever. We should have taken the oil. He's very, he pulls it off. And then I honestly, he's clumsily says things, exposed things that he shouldn't say. But as he said on the, was it two days ago, keep the oil, anyone, as he's pretending that we're fighting for Iranians, you know, which that's theirs. And it's just silly.

Starting point is 02:04:52 Then he says, with a little more time, we can easily open the hormone straight, take the oil, make a fortune. It would be a gusher for the world. Yeah, clearly the world will benefit as it goes into your insider pockets. But I agree. But realize this is what is this is brazenly showing you what they're going to do, at least what he wants to do. Or it could be a play, a head fake, but either way, he's telling you something that is a crime. That's not how this is supposed to go.

Starting point is 02:05:19 Even though I've done it before and they always have, it's still a crime. It was a crime then. He's just screaming it. So, of course, here's what you get from the, the Trump supporters. We talked about the straight toll conversation and what do we tell you? Watch and we were shown to be correct yet again because it's not, I wasn't psychic. It's because I just know how these people respond.

Starting point is 02:05:40 The point, if you remember, was that the straight discussion is very clear. I think almost every single other location does already have a toll. You know, whether it's a canal or straight, Panama, they have, they charge sometimes millions of dollars per ship. That's been the public reality for a really long time. you know what location does never done that straight of promos iran no you could argue it's because they haven't completely been like legitimately like that the the international community has not regarded them as in control of it even though everyone knows they've been strategically in control of

Starting point is 02:06:11 it this entire time which is why they were always worried about what would happen it's very clear so the point was they just haven't done anyway even though they could have and now because of the illegal war that they started they're now claiming they're going to initiate that process so even if You can't turn around and go, terrorism, extortion, when you drove them to do something they've never done before because of your illegal actions. But I told you they would go that route because that's what they do. That's how desperate they are. Terrorism.

Starting point is 02:06:38 But one step further. And this just takes the cake. I almost didn't willing to argue that I think, well, let's put it this way. We should consider whether this might have been the plan. But Iran never took the bait, which is they never shut down the straight, which we're going to get into next, yet again, the reality of what it actually is and whether it's actually shut down, which it is restricted, but it is clearly open. But the game from day one, which is, I'm convinced was the plan.

Starting point is 02:07:04 Or at the very least that Israel convinced Trump would be the way it went, is that they'll bomb everybody because they're crazy terrorists and they'll put mines in the street and they'll bomb everybody and shut it down. He did not. At all. Now, there are reports, well, I shall get into it a second before I play this clip of tankers and so on, but Israel and the United States have been the ones that were really hitting the oil tankers. The ones they have attacked, even around or near or going through, have been literally,

Starting point is 02:07:31 as you can prove for yourself. Israel connected, the U.S. connected, or anybody involved with the war against them. That's not shut down. That is, anybody bombing us, we're going to keep from going to the past. Everybody else can. Now, whether they agree, take their word at that, whether they decide to chance it or not, totally different story. I'm of the mind that Israel and the United States have been shoving fear in everyone's faces. these terrorist surroundings are going to kill you if you go through the straight when that's not the case because they wanted that to be the case. They wanted it shut down so they could turn the world against Iran

Starting point is 02:08:03 and Iran's not stupid enough to take the bait. That's what it looks like to me. So coming back to the point, this shameless MAGA supporting account is supporting Fox News of it's, I forget his name, I think it's on the clip, saying that here's what we should do. Trump, instead of allowing Iran to extort you

Starting point is 02:08:22 for something that every other straight in the world does, we'll charge you $2 million to escort you through the street. But even though that won't happen because nobody else wants to be involved in that, but guys, this is straight up, this is, I mean, not only have you created it, you're now in your, what we call it a preemptive extortion? Like, we're going to do it first because they're going to do it. We truly live in a cartoon. Quite frankly, what President Trump ought to do is he ought to have an announce that he's

Starting point is 02:08:52 going to have a Hormuz transit tariff, and that instead of Iran charging two million of a vessel going through the Strait of Hormor. Which will only be two million in extreme circumstances of large ships carrying lots of oil, if that, by the way. But this has become the narrative now. Two million per ship is not really what it will be based on everything else I've seen and any other straight we're talking about because they wanted to be some kind of extortion from terrorists.

Starting point is 02:09:14 That's not what's happening. They're even right now in discussions about including other countries around them to manage it. But they always have to. go full terrorist or full R. You know, like, just these people are the most crazy, maniacal monsters of all time. And it's just not true. Maybe they're bad. I don't, I don't agree with most of what they're saying.

Starting point is 02:09:34 But to go all the way over, it just makes it stupid. So to them, it's, they're going to take money from everybody and steal from your ships. And I've seen this all day on stuff. If they were going to do that, then why would they go to the UN? Why would they formalize an agreement? Why would they talk with their allies to manage it? Because you guys would do that. the United States is going to charge a $2 million escort fee for every vessel going through

Starting point is 02:09:57 the Strait of Hormuz, which is about $9 billion a month, $100 billion a year in revenue coming in, and we will waive that fee for any country that participates in the coalition. Now, here's what I think, too, is that I think Donald Trump recognized this money-making opportunity, and see, that's why we'll manage the straight together. Where do you think that was coming from? This. And so this is floated out as the idea that, well, even if they won't let that happen, because we're probably back there shoving that idea in their face going, look, we'll stop bombing you.

Starting point is 02:10:26 Let us manage the straight. They're going, hell no. And so this gets floated as the, well, we'll take it anyway. We'll just spin it around to make it look like we're saving you while we extort money from every ship that goes to the day. It's just narrative. That's all it is. It's just narrative. The end of the day, the U.S. will demand money for you to go through this rate and say it's a Ron's fault if it happens.

Starting point is 02:10:45 Open up the state of Hormuz. That will open it up, open and reward the good guys who are helping us and punch. punish those who decide to stay on the sidelines. Oh, or punish those who just don't stand up and do what we want. But they're the good guys. Iran's going, we're not going to do it anybody. Anyway, I'm not going to speak for it because who knows

Starting point is 02:11:04 that they're going to end up doing. It's just always so cartoonish to me, how clearly. Like, where are the adults in the room? Where are all the people that are going to go, well, that's just stupid? Like, that's objectively that you're doing what you just said they were going to do before they even do it. And then you should go, well, were they even going to do it?

Starting point is 02:11:21 It's a good question. So again, I think I'm going to only, I don't need to stress it, I think, for the audience that's always here. You guys have heard me talk about this from the beginning. But in case the new people to the show, which we are growing every day despite what people show, is that this has always been open. From the very big moment this started, Iran was stating on interviews and otherwise that we're fighting the Zionists. We're only, it's U.S. and Israel and people that are supporting the co-belligerence and the illegal war against us that we told the UN and February 11th was going to happen and we were, they're going to do it.

Starting point is 02:11:58 It's illegal and we're just going to defend ourselves on the record. So when this started, like I said, I love the mind that the U.S. and Israel tried to force in the artificial narrative that they had shut the straight down and still to this very day. Lockstep media. The strait's been shut down for the most part. Obviously, mainstream alternative. But on top of that, using the sentiment to then motivate other arguments. Well, now the war is about opening the street.

Starting point is 02:12:24 well, you caused that by starting the illegal war. Now the war focus is to open the thing that's not really closed, but that you effectively closed or, you know, restricted. It's just just silly. So overall, they have been restricted. And I'm of the mind. It's largely because of the U.S. and Israel sort of stressing that it is closed when it's not and causing more fear.

Starting point is 02:12:44 But as I've shown you over the last so many shows, they've been Spain and plenty of people. I mean, last show, I don't think I included it this time. I went over the list. I mean, tons of countries. countries. There's like at least eight or nine countries that have been allowed and are continuing to go through. Now, that doesn't amount to tons of them because I do, again, think there are efforts to stop that. But Israel and the United States, arguing it shut down and arguing they're going to step in

Starting point is 02:13:08 and control it is about that. It's about control. And that what we have are evidence points showing you that it has been increased. So whether you think it's been a simple point on the closed aspect, you have now reports coming out showing you that it has continued to go up since they basically restricted it because of what the U.S. government did, but also from tankertrackers.com, 108 tankers have departed the straight of Ramos since March 1st about three per day, according to tanker trackers using satellite imagery, which also was the reason they could prove that Trump lied about those tankers, 10 of oil tankers going through. The count includes some dark fleet vessels and switchoffs trans responders,

Starting point is 02:13:50 but may still underestimate the toll traffic. So that's not closed. Oil is still flowing through there in some degree, and I argue would be going a hell of a lot more if they weren't acting like this was something that was nefarious, right? And you go through and look for yourself. Spain, what was it? God, forgetting it's on top of my head.

Starting point is 02:14:08 I don't want to miss cite them. But it was like seven or eight countries that they reported were being allowed to go through. And so here's what even Grock had to say. Not that it should matter more than your own investigation. In fact, it shouldn't. But for those that are partisan, who somehow think that the information's tainted if it doesn't come from people you agree with, no, the Strait of Ramos is not fully closed. It's effectively restricted and mostly blocked as of April 5th.

Starting point is 02:14:34 Now, you could argue it's mostly blocked, but by Iran, I disagree with. But here's what it says down here. Vessels associated with the U.S. and Israel are the ones that are restricted. Or countries seen as supporting the attacks on Iran are blocked or threatened. That's it. right the rest of it simply comes from them claiming that they're under threat and as i've shown you clearly traffic has continued through not tankers are the main restricted point now here's iran drop signers reporting officially declared that iraq hasn't been exempt from transit restrictions but see

Starting point is 02:15:10 if you understand the way this has started they came out in the beginning and said the only groups that we are dealing with are the ones fighting us so that very clearly did not include iraq when we're talking about the u.s government doing it through that the pm u.s. has been supportive of their resistance against the United States, which is not technically the same. But the point would be this is them just make, like publicly going, look, you're good. My opinion.

Starting point is 02:15:32 And it says on February 2020, 26, Iraq's total crew production was approximately 4.19 million barrels per day, about 4% of the total global production. It plunged to roughly 800,000 as storage tanks filled up due to the inability to export through the strait. Oman is from Al-Dazira, Iran discusses smooth transit in straight of Hormuz. So now what we're seeing is Trump's over here screaming about how everyone's dealing with him.

Starting point is 02:16:00 When it's pretty clear that nobody is. What's happening around it all is Oman, foreign minister, somebody who was very aware that they've lied about what they were trying to do, has been now going and trying to deal with, and this is Muscat as well, discussing them dealing with Iran around the United States. And this is what I think is going to happen. is they're going to find some kind of an accommodation, which won't include them, is the U.S. and Israel,

Starting point is 02:16:24 but what the U.S. is, Trump in particular, mark my words. My opinion, I'm guessing, but I believe he's probably going to say, I did that, right? That they made a deal, and now things are going back to normal, and it's because of my deal with Iran. I think that's what he was trying to do in the beginning, and Iran just wouldn't give him an inch because they know what they're going to do. Israel's not going to stop bombing them either way.

Starting point is 02:16:45 So why would they give Trump anything? Why would they allow him to not look like the fool that he clearly is playing. Amon and Iran have held deputy foreign minister level talks discussing options to ensure the smooth transit of vessels through the straight-off removes.

Starting point is 02:16:58 Now imagine, should they truly make this go to a point where everybody other than them is able to functionally go through? That would be really damaging for the U.S. and Israel right now. I think that's where they're desperate to have happen. They want to stop that from happening. And the point is that they've been very successful

Starting point is 02:17:14 in bombing, you know, basically protecting the area in regard to military elements. They know this. They've reported it from the beginning. And I mean, talking about going back before this moment, that they have the location to just basically go after anything they don't want to go through the street. And that's why they talked about the idea of the military transit. Nobody was okay with that. And that even though, by the way, as I told you, all the Dick's order of the world came out and said, everybody's involved and we're all winning and it didn't happen. Because I guess Trump lied about it and they just repeated it like they always do. As of right now,

Starting point is 02:17:48 it seems none of them are open for the idea of the militarized transit, but they are trying to find another way around this. Janice Girl, Qatar and Oman strike deal with Iran. This was as eight hours ago. Several sources are reporting Qatar and Oman have struck deals with Iran, and Qatar has begun U.S. troop withdrawal and U.S. bases in its countries. Now, a lot of this is up in the air, but it's interesting. Here's what the Foreign Minister of Oman wrote.

Starting point is 02:18:14 The Sultanate of Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran held a meeting on Saturday of the 4th. at the level of deputy ministers in the foreign ministries of the two countries, attended by specialties from both sides. The meeting discussed possible options for ensuring the smooth flow of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, amid the circumstances currently prevailing in the region. During the meeting, experts from both sides presented a number of visions. You know how much that irritates Trump, I guarantee it, that they're not even dealing with him.

Starting point is 02:18:43 He's just out of the picture at this point. And it also very clearly shows that he's not involved if they're having entire meetings about the future of the strait that he's not involved in. I guarantee that bothers him. World leaders bypass Trump to tackle Strait of Framuz crisis. This is also on the fourth. Countries have, oh, it's right here. Countries heavily reliant on energy exports from the Strait of Pramuse

Starting point is 02:19:05 are troubleshooting plans to reopen the critical maritime trade route amid the chaos and uncertainty around the U.S. Israel war against Iran. The United Kingdom convened 41 countries on Thursday to discuss plans to reopen the street. pinning the blame on Iran, of course, for holding the global economy hostage, which if you dig in, doesn't even seem what the real opinion is. But of course, they don't want to irritate Trump. So you just lie about somehow them holding the world hostage by hijacking the shipping route. You mean the route that they let was open before they illegally bombed them and that everyone in the world knew they might do should you illegally bomb them?

Starting point is 02:19:42 But yes, it's their illegal terrorism. This is how stupid at all this. It should be laughed at because that's insane. and they know you know that. While the president was not publicly addressed at the meeting, allies are deeply frustrated with Trump. Even Emmanuel Macron, believe it or not, has taken a hard line against the United States war against Iran, rejecting Trump's pleas to European nations to join the offensive operations

Starting point is 02:20:05 to open the strait. Now, this guy is a global player, clearly global. Macron is part of the problem. I just simply think that everyone can see this is going awry. Now, I do think there's a kind of schism between like the greater Israel extremists. missed version of parts of that with just the larger global technocratic vision. I think there's a break there. But either way, the end of the day, I believe Macron supports a lot of the larger agendas,

Starting point is 02:20:31 but I think he sees the problems. Like, I don't think he cares. I think it's about the fact that what Trump is doing is too obvious. So they have to come out and do that. All my opinion. And as his quote, they cannot then complain about not being supported in an operation. They decided on their own. It's not an operation, McCrone said.

Starting point is 02:20:48 The crown was responding to a question about Trump's announcement on April 1st that he was preparing for major strikes against Iran. You know, in the middle of what he claimed was a 10-day break, I guess, the U.S. president on third, because he bombed him on the second, remember. The U.S. president on Thursday said the U.S. has Iran's bridges and electricity plants on their target list. I mean, you just can't overstress that. There is no world in which that's okay.

Starting point is 02:21:11 They're just telling you we're going to break the law. And they do every, they've, Israel's doing it right now in Lebanon. Israel's doing it right now in Tehran. Trump has lashed out against European nations who have rebuffed this request for assistance, ranging from the petty, taking personal jabs at Macron's marriage, to the existential, threatening to withdraw U.S. forces from NATO. That's what's worth laughing about as you've got the Eric Hattery's out there telling you that everybody supported him.

Starting point is 02:21:35 Everyone's on board for his military agenda, because it wasn't true. European leaders and other nations reliant on energy exports from the Gulf are confronting the reality that they must develop action plans in the face. of uncertainty around how long the Iran war could continue and what Trump's exit strategy might look like. Trump has given wildly contradictory statements over the past few days on the Strait of Ramos. On Friday, Trump said that with more time, the U.S. could open the strait. Take the oil, make a fortune. Iran has succeeded in effectively closing the strait by carrying out missile and drone attacks on some ships, threatening further attacks

Starting point is 02:22:10 and potentially mining the waterway, which there's no evidence for. They've got it before. Trump cryptically said if they ever do it, it hasn't happened yet, we'll be mad. And then that day they reported mines and it's never been brought up since. Their ships going through the trial, it's just not true. I don't know how that could be true. At the end of the day, they could and they have. But there's just no evidence. If they were going to close down the straight, then yes.

Starting point is 02:22:31 Had they actually closed it, then mines would make sense. But they did not. This is all a big show. This is a way like a sciop on type of a sciop here. And the point, though, is that they have in fact done this. Now, this is what I want to show you is that, The evidence you can find about the one that they claim they did hit, at the very least, Iran is telling you that it's ships that they believe were associated with the war,

Starting point is 02:22:52 which in fact would make that a military target in the minds of everybody attacking them. But either way, it's important for me for you guys to hear that what we're talking about is them only going after ships, according to them. They could be lying that they claim are attacking them, which would mean every other one should be allowed and we'll continue to go through. So they didn't effectively close the straight by doing what they're claiming the way they're claiming it. And it says, and Iran is strengthening. its control over the waterway, demanding as part of any ceasefire deal to be recognized as the sovereign authority over the passage, like every other location. It's Parliament on Thursday approved a plan to collect tolls on vessels traveling through the street. Of course, because, you know,

Starting point is 02:23:29 terrorists typically go through their parliament to pass some kind of legislation to initiate the extortion plan, right? And it says, although it said it would require approval from the neighboring states. Right. Again, same point, right, because typically, if you're going to store everyone around you, you make sure everyone's on board with the agreement. You know, it's because they're trying to go about this a way that makes it like every other location that does this. And all they can do is go terrorism. Starting prices for oil tankers can be, as it writes, according to this mainstream platform,

Starting point is 02:23:59 and I do believe this is somewhat customary, but I haven't seen evidence that's what Iran's planning can be $1 per barrel with some tankers up to $2 million barrels. And so that just becomes $2 million for ship across every Fox News report. Typical. And payments made by Chinese one or cryptocurrency, Bloomberg reported. This includes diplomatic pressure on Iran to permit free passage through the street and explore the options of sanctions to punish Iran if it keeps the straight closed.

Starting point is 02:24:25 This is their options of what they need to do, like pressuring them to keep the straight open. So basically pressure them to not charge a fee like everybody else does. Because if they did, they'd be the unique bad guy, even though everybody else does it. Got it. So the only reason it's restricted is due to Israeli U.S. actions. I already point that out, but important to think about that. They're making this huge big case about why we have to keep it open. Well, it wouldn't be closed right now if you guys didn't start the war.

Starting point is 02:24:53 Simple enough, right? U.S. influence in the Gulf fades as Qatar and Oman strike deals with Iran. This is the other thing that Janice girl is pointing to. This is on the third. The U.S. influence in the Gulf is fading as the war goes into its fifth week with no sign of ending. and regional players are starting to cut deals with Iran to end the attacks on their territories because most of them have already been shown

Starting point is 02:25:21 to be continuing in some way to support the U.S., which then they told you, if you continue to do that, you're going to continue to be a target, which makes them actual legal military targets. Five weeks. Well, actually, technically it would be, I mean, I think it's technically 35 days from the 28th forward.

Starting point is 02:25:38 But, you know, 12-day-war, you know, the long-term game they've been playing as Iran. The point, though, is that, everyone's getting frustrated. You told us it was going to be a couple weeks. You told us you'd keep us safe. They did not. That's your fault for trusting the U.S. government. This lied to everybody my entire life. Oman and Qatar are both reportedly cutting deals in the last week, reportedly, that will take them off Iran's target list. Qatar reportedly offered to return Iranian cash deposited in its banks. Of course, they'll scream their funding terrorism, even though it's money that was theirs, just like with Obama. but it says now Tehran is reportedly offering to share control of the Strait of Vermeuse with Muscat

Starting point is 02:26:17 in a deal that would represent a major strategic defeat for Trump's administration. So they're asking their neighbors to be involved and allow this, and they're trying to work with another location to actually manage the control. I don't know what world that would ever be called terrorism. And it says the Gulf states are increasingly angry at the Trump administration, which was supposed to be a guarantor of their security. but instead unleashed the biggest war in the Middle East for decades without consulting them and without taking their interest into account.

Starting point is 02:26:47 And of course, then blindly defended Israel and let them be bombed even though they promised to actually help defend them against these missiles. And it says, initially Trump promised to open the Strait of Hermouse with naval escorts through the narrow waterway. But after a month, it's become patently clear that the U.S. Navy is defenseless against Iranian missiles and drones that line the shores of the passageway. So this is why the UK and the rest, we're like, we're not going to do that. We're just going to be sitting ducks.

Starting point is 02:27:16 And then everybody lied about it. The White House has openly criticized Tel Aviv for its overly destructive attacks. Interesting. What's telling to that is that you don't really hear that, even though there is an element of that because they're not supposed to be at odds. Openly, in cases, we're useful for them to say, well, you guys are a little too aggressive. And questioned Trump's control over the whole agenda. who appears to have a separate agenda is real and intends to see Iran's economy permanently weakened or wrecked. The U.S. President Donald Trump runs out of ideas as he does.

Starting point is 02:27:52 He has flip-flop between threatening to bomb Iran and the Stone Ages to simply pulling out and leaving the regional powers and Asia to clean up the mess. The Gulf states are starting to take matters into their own hands. Now it says Qatar is amongst the Gulf states considering kicking the U.S. military out of their country. Doa is home to Sentcom. the U.S. military headquarters in the region and the Aal UDid air base that has come under heavy bombardment by Iran. In fact, they took out that $1.1 billion installation. The U.S., this is important, and it is very widely important. We even have its allied imagery and so on.

Starting point is 02:28:26 The U.S. has a total of 13 military bases in the region, right? But totally they're the ones being attacked, right? And in a surprise result, all of them were largely destroyed or badly damaged in the first week of hostilities. underscoring the U.S.'s inability to protect either its own military installations or those that it hosts in other countries and realize that this is important for many reasons. One, there's plenty of reports coming out. And with things like MaxR and the CIA connection, like I've always known this is part, you know, but it's becoming very clear that they have put out like a blanket effort to just block

Starting point is 02:28:58 any kind of like Israel always. I found out that recently, which blows my mind. There's just, there's like this standing deal with most of these GPS groups, just blanket fuzz out. Israel, the only group that works for. But the rest of it, they're just making this kind of current reality that they don't show what's going on in our base. Don't show what Iran's doing. Like this very broad effort to just lie about people being killed because the U.S. people are being killed and they're lying to you about it, which shows you how little they value them,

Starting point is 02:29:26 how little they care about them, but also all the different things that are all the billions of dollars being wasted because they can't defend you. We knew that. But Riyadh's relations with the White House, one of their chief allies in the area, took a nosedive on April 1st after the kingdom signed a defense pact with Ukraine for the supply of drones without consulting the White House. Trump was not pleased and said the NBS could kiss his ASS. MBS was not pleased and counted that the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Starting point is 02:29:59 would no longer purchase U.S.-made weapons. I kind of doubt that, but that's a huge shift. Quote, we will no longer buy American weapons. Okay, this is truly starting to feel like the complete dismantling of this country. You know who I think is doing that. Until now, the money that flowed into the United States military industrial complex was not merely a matter of trade, as Mohamed Salman writes, but in reality was a ritual of allegiance.

Starting point is 02:30:27 It was not simply about purchasing missile systems, but about buying the right to belong. From today, that is over. Wow, guys, okay, you could really read into this. we'll have to see how it goes forward. But to me, this is the dying of an empire. This is the dying of an age. And it's not even like a positive shift to something else.

Starting point is 02:30:47 I mean, right now what we're talking about is Saudi Arabia going, look, we've been paying our way into this. Why do you think they've never been criticized for their crazy actions or for their extremism, the Sunni connection to everything they say they're fighting? But, oh, Saudi Arabia is okay. They can crucify people in the town square and whip people in the middle of the... It's not a joke. But, you know, but it's okay because, you know, we buy things.

Starting point is 02:31:11 You just basically always has been the reality. This government has been sold out to the highest bidder. Give us some billions of dollars and we'll ignore your terrorism. In fact, we'll pretend everybody else is terrorist who you don't like. That is over. U.S. intelligence warns Iran is unlikely to ease straight of Hormuz chokehold. Yet again, ladies and gentlemen, the U.S. government ignores its own intelligence. and who do you think is listening to?

Starting point is 02:31:41 U.S. intelligence, just like they told them they weren't seeking a nuclear missile, as Gabbard told them, and they ignored it too, said, or just like they said, should you take out Kameen, it probably won't change anything. That's public. Trump listened to Israel. You can't even deny this to this point. Now, yet again, they knew this would happen because it was always the plan. Anybody who barely paid attention knew this was the potential action Iran would take,

Starting point is 02:32:06 which is why they've been fighting to control the Obama and Mandeb straight, and executing people in Yemen for decades because they wanted, still failed. But they told him, Iran is unlikely to let this pass. And Trump did it anyway. And Trump continues to push because he's not being guided by intelligence or American interests. On the fifth today, Trump warns Iran to reopen the strait of Hormuz by Tuesday or face hell. So here's what's funny to me. you literally have Iran who says this right so you have Iran who comes out on the fourth and says

Starting point is 02:32:43 Iran warns Trump entire region will become hell for you as we just read right if U.S. attacks escalate which is what it's been the entire time U.S. and Israel escalating as as they're searching for the airmen we'll get to real quickly here let me see how long we are not bad so then Trump because I guess that's just he's just a child comes in the next day and goes, you better do what I want, or it'll be hell. You can't even think of a better word to use. Like you just throw back at the, you're the one. I know you are.

Starting point is 02:33:16 What am I? Is it about the element that we're at right now? Because it's not hard to see the timeline. I guess Trump has to be the one. It's always the one threatening and can control because he's the weakest person in the room, it seems. Please do not take that as somehow left first right. I think they're all ridiculous.

Starting point is 02:33:32 But there is a special kind of like bombastic to this person. He's very juvenile and very, very petty when it comes to the smallest of things, which you could argue that if you cared about American interests, then these things would not be your most important objective. That you would put aside your small things and fight for our interests. That's not what our governments do. But yes, you're the one. You'll face hell if you don't do what I want,

Starting point is 02:33:56 while no one's even listening to him. But here, Ron came out the day before and told him, if you keep escalating and clearly they don't care, this will be bad. Now, of course, what that turns into is, this is, oh, wait, hold on, did I skip that timing? Oh, well, either way, I might, I might have closed it an accident. This gets turned into Iran's threatening hell on earth for Americans. It's not what they're saying. But of course, that's the broken nature of our system and the fact that they have to lie about basic statements

Starting point is 02:34:28 because that means they're not saying the things they always say they're saying. He's talking about the entire region. So the Middle East, in fact, where they are, will become hell for you, Trump, if you keep doing. this. And you got ridiculous Fox News people telling you Iran threatened Americans today saying they'll turn us on to hell. It's just it's sad, it's sad, guys. Yesterday, Israel preparing for attacks on Iran energy sites. Crimes, right? But look what they say. Awaits U.S. green light. Guys, we are being played in a spectacular way right now. Like this, though, if you haven't caught on by now, they're failing. They're failing. Iran has demonstrated this every single day.

Starting point is 02:35:08 without fail that they are able to continue to get through. They have not drawn them. Well, they've spent themselves out. And in fact, the reverse with their interceptors seems to be the case. And they are spinning out. I mean, I've hesitated by getting into it because I can't verify out of those points. That's what I think is happening. But I feel like I've seen that from the very early parts of this. And even pro-US people are simply going, yes, that seems to be the reality on the ground. So in the midst of this utterly floundering agenda that is, real has always driven the U.S. into, what do we get? What are we just here? Oh, is it right here? I'll play it again. We'll come back in a second. Well, we get that. It's, it's, it's America's war.

Starting point is 02:35:52 It's not our war. We don't want me to do with this, even though that's exactly what you said at the beginning. And I've been doing this for 40 years. Netanyahu proudly says, we finally did it. And now it's, well, it's not even ours. It's America's war. On top of that, they haven't waited for a green light from the U.S. in any circumstance. really almost ever. What happened about a month and a half ago? No, it would have been a little less than a month ago. Donald Trump, or rather the U.S. government, took certain action. Israel, and this was covered by multiple mainstream platforms.

Starting point is 02:36:26 Israel spoke up and said, hey, what are you doing? And they responded by going, okay, we won't, we'll wait, we'll wait. Basically, I forget the exact phrasing, but basically said, we will wait for your guidance. Israel chastised them for taking action without their involvement. and now we're to believe that they're coming around and going, well, waiting for you, you're in control. It's completely your thing. I'm stepping outside.

Starting point is 02:36:46 I'll leave the room. Like, it's okay. It's like Homer Simpson going to the bushes. You're like, wait a minute. You started this. This is always the plan, guys. It's just that we're just following their lead. Trump's the one.

Starting point is 02:36:59 It's all Trump. Sort of like Trump does to Rubio. You see how this trickles downhill? Tuesday will be power plant day, bridge day, wrapped in one. I already ready for you. There will be nothing like it. open the effing straight, you crazy.

Starting point is 02:37:13 It's just insane. Now, something about this makes me, even the sign of President Donald J. Trump, that doesn't seem how he usually signs it. I mean, I feel like there's all these different conversations going around about whether he's missing or whatever. Hey, maybe, I don't know. And frankly, if it comes to pass, we'll talk about it.

Starting point is 02:37:27 Just like Alex Jones and all the rest, we're waxing intellectual for weeks about how Netanyahu was dead. Who knows, maybe, but there's nothing you can use to prove that right now. So what's the point of, you know, they like to spin you out in these hypotheticals, get you missing the forest for the trees because that's their job, it seems. But it's certainly possible. It wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't be surprising if Israel took out Trump at this point. At the end of the day, it's about what the agenda is, and we should

Starting point is 02:37:51 wonder whether something's going on. I'm only saying that because I found that strange, but he's telling you we're going to commit war crimes. Today, Spectator Index, Israeli defense minister says that as long as Iranian missile fire continues, Iran will see its national infrastructure erode and collapse. I mean, you're not even trying to pretend anymore that that's somehow connected to terrorism. You're not saying they're using tunnels or human shields. You're just going, we're going to destroy every civilian thing if you just keep bombing. Meaning if you just keep engaging legally with this war, using your missiles as we use our missiles,

Starting point is 02:38:32 we're going to target your purse. Yes. I mean, I don't know what it is, but they're just being public. about it now. We're terrorists and we will bomb your civilian locations if you even put up a fight. And Iran's the terrorist in the situation? I mean, come on, guys. Literally, Trump says, quote, today, we're blowing up the whole country if no Iran deal in 48 hours. The whole country, direct quote, whole country, these people are terrorists. Wall Street Journal. Officials say hitting power plants and roadways is necessary to cripple their weapons programs.

Starting point is 02:39:11 And now this is what's so crazy. You now have people like the Wall Street Journal platforms like the Wall Street Journal coming around and doing their job for them, which guess what, guys, our whole career we've been showing you that. It's one major thing. Now, that doesn't mean every person and every editor and every, but you can see the way this goes. How in the world are you going to try to do their job?

Starting point is 02:39:31 They're not even claiming that. You're going to come out and tell us that now they're using them for weapons. That doesn't make it legal targets. By that logic, every road anywhere is a legal target because they could have used it to traffic there, drive their cars that have missiles in them. Insane. Beligerence. As Ben says, first the U.S. claimed it could easily overthrow Iran's government by assassinating top leaders. That failed.

Starting point is 02:39:55 Then the U.S. bombed Iran's military sites. That failed. So now the U.S. Empire wants to destroy all of their civilian infrastructure. This is state terrorism. I don't know how you could deny that. Because you understand, guys, it's not like they're saying one thing, and I'm going like, wink, wink, wink, that's what they mean. They're saying the thing that should be acknowledged as a crime. Treata Parsi points out that Tehran says that it has daily sent military intelligence to the GCC countries,

Starting point is 02:40:25 as well as to the U.N. Security General, showing that these specific GCC territories are being used for strikes in Iran, Kuwait, and so on. It says now, an investigation by France 24 concludes that, quote, on at least two occasions. On March 24th and 31st, U.S. missiles were launched from Himar's launchers inside territory of Kuwait. So this is just going back around to showing you that these locations, whether because they're not control of their own countries or not, are still allowing U.S. missiles that are continuing to illegally bomb Iran. So that makes these countries still legal targets. And this is whether Kuwait has allowed the territory to be used after Iran stated striking it or not. or if it is done altogether without permission remains unclear. Won't change the fact that they argue they have a legal right to bomb it.

Starting point is 02:41:14 Now, in regard to bombings, a French journalist in Iran confirms what many others have already confirmed, that Israel and Trump have bombed eight pharmaceutical factories, including a cancer medication facility, 60 pharmacies, multiple hospitals, multiple schools, one of the oldest medical research institutions in the region. These aren't military targets, obviously. It's reported on what this platform is down here. I can't see it. But this has been, again, this is what's so frustrating. You'll get the Zionists under here.

Starting point is 02:41:43 They go, fake news and, you know, whatever, Bollywood. They are publicly saying they're aiming for these locations. And yet then you dispute that they're bombing them when Trump goes, I'm going to bomb that. That seems pretty stupid. It shows you how broken it is, how desperate it is, that they're flailing, guys.

Starting point is 02:41:59 We all see it. More Epstein Coalition war crimes, they write. U.S. Israeli strikes. hit the laser and plasma research institute and a girls dormitory at Pahesthi University in Tehran. This was on the third. It never stops. As Daniel McAdams writes, Iran shoots down planes. The U.S. shoot little girls.

Starting point is 02:42:23 Might as well make that the mantra for every war they ever been involved in. That's what they do. Here is Arsinovsky. How long have we called this guy out? He says on the fourth, as you're going about your day, hundreds of thousands of Israelis are racing to bomb shelters after Iran just fire to the barrage of missiles, including Tel Aviv. And as Glenn rightly points out, the way Israelis keep talking as if Iran just randomly decided to victimize them with missiles,

Starting point is 02:42:50 due to anti-Semitism, of course, is almost impressive in its sociopathic delusion. Israelis really believe that they have the divine right to bomb and exterminate anyone with no retaliation. It's crazy. This guy's supposedly a human rights lawyer. I don't, I mean, is or not, he's not. not by definition of what he does. Now, Argi from the foreign minister of Iran says, remember the Western outrage about hostilities near Zaporosha power plant, the nuclear power plant.

Starting point is 02:43:18 We talked about it. Israel and U.S. have bombed our Boucher plant four times now. I actually believe that they're trying to create a problem. And Iran is effectively, I mean, or maybe they're just getting lucky or maybe they've insulated it somehow. I believe this was the point. I believe that was the point in Ukraine. radioactive fallout will end life in the GCC capitals, not Tehran.

Starting point is 02:43:41 Like Kuwait, we just talked, this is the pro, they're trying to create this and they want to blame Iran, my opinion. Attacks on our petrochemicals also convey real objectives. I mean, never at least acknowledge the hypocrisy of the corporate media. Where's the outrage? Where's the fearmongering? Where's the pearl clutching? Now, here's the International Atomic Energy Agency that says they have been informed by Iran that a projectile struck close to these locations.

Starting point is 02:44:13 This is their nuclear power plants. The fourth such incident in recent weeks, Iran has informed them that one of the site's physical protection staff members were killed by projectile fragments. Not a military target. Anyway, the point is that they expressed deep concern about the reports. Very milk toast, if I don't my opinion. Of course, if it was in another location,

Starting point is 02:44:34 I bet you they'd be screaming bloody murder about why it's going to kill us all. But of course, it's like, we're uncomfortable, and it should show restraint. You know, I call restraint on both sides, kind of a thing you get from the UN. But I'm glad they're pointing it out. As this person says, your concern is concerning, but not enough.

Starting point is 02:44:47 You should be blitzing the media talking about this because people are, you know, they're trying to cause a nuclear disaster. Furkin points out, terrifying escalation. A top Russian official confirms a deadly strike just breached that nuclear power plant, the same one, that Russia is claiming, or unofficial.

Starting point is 02:45:06 He warns a catastrophic nuclear incident risk is skyrocketing as massive, evacuations begin. Now, that's yesterday. I'm not hearing as much today. So maybe he's hyping it. Maybe he thought it was worry. Maybe we'll see tomorrow. But the simple fact that they're bombing it is insane. Like four times, like it seems like a clear effort to make a problem, you know, cause a fallout. And Chris Martin Martinson says a nuclear incident is underway. Russia's state nuclear company evacuates didn't have to be this way. Sarah points out that the Israeli government has killed three UN peace. in Lebanon. Nothing new. They seem to do this all the time. But the problem is that no one seems to

Starting point is 02:45:46 care. They're wearing blue helmets, UN uniforms, and they are peacekeepers. And apparently they're from multiple places all around the world. And yet, yet there's not some kind of global pushback about how Israel just murders these people for no, I mean, this happens constantly. I can think of like five different examples just through the October 7th forward point. I pointed out right in the beginning, a Reuters journalist got bombed in Lebanon. And Reuters barely criticized that. Israel bombs them anyway. Now, on top of that, turns out they killed them, but first they took care of the cameras. Seems consistent.

Starting point is 02:46:23 So UN peacekeepers have been stationed down there on that borderline for decades, in fact. But in the last month, there have been a number of deaths, as you mentioned, and also a number of serious injuries to these UN peacekeepers. They come from different countries all over the world. The three who died are Indonesian, but there were also a number of Ghanaian peacekeepers who were injured. when an Israeli tank shell landed on their position a couple of weeks ago. Now, Unifil investigated that. They found that, yes, it was, in fact, the Israelis who then apologized and said, yes, okay, we did fire those tank shells at your position, but it was a mistake.

Starting point is 02:46:56 We thought it was Hezbollah fire coming from your direction. But what has happened in the last 24 hours is that the Unifil base, their head. Wait a minute. I thought the UN was Hamas. Right. So did Israel just apologize for bombing Hamas? obviously not. You know, that's how dumb this gets, right?

Starting point is 02:47:14 So we should engage with like that. If we're going to take them seriously and they're screaming, is the UN is a moss, then why would we not take them seriously? Why wouldn't we then carry that forward and go, okay, well, you're bombing a moss now, right? But then why do you apologize? But you know that's not what they mean.

Starting point is 02:47:27 You know they're being hyperbolic because the UN is not a moss. But we let those things fly. People do. Major influential people at the highest levels of the media, just let that fly. Because it's a ridiculous situation. They're not serious people. But just recognize that.

Starting point is 02:47:40 I argue this was not by accident. I've done it many times. It's about keeping people on, it's about controlling the situation and getting the international presence out of the area because they're going to be killing people and committed genocide and occupying territory like every other location that are involved in.

Starting point is 02:47:58 Headquarters down in the Oro, which is a town right down by the Mediterranean Sea that the Israelis have been operating in and around for well over a week now. They've been moving their tanks around in there, detonating buildings and civilian homes. homes. Today, they have destroyed all of the CCTV cameras around the Unifil base. Now, Unifil in a statement said that those cameras, you know, they're not using them to spy

Starting point is 02:48:20 on Israeli troops. In fact, they only look over the immediate perimeter of the base to ensure the safety of the military and civilian peacekeepers who live and work in there. They've launched a formal objection with the Israelis and reminded them of their, you know, their responsibility to ensure the safety of the peacekeepers. But what this does is, it's is it makes me, come on. You know, I mean, this is just so blatantly obvious. Yeah, we just got rid of all the cameras as we're bombing them and have continued to bomb you

Starting point is 02:48:54 in installations in Gaza and everywhere else in Lebanon forever. These are monsters we're talking about, guys. And then they just hide behind this illusion of morality, sort of like Hague Seth and Trump going, God bless us and in God's name as they murder innocent people. That should bother you more than anything, if that's what you care about. Reza Nazvon points out, if anything, the war, first again, Trump,

Starting point is 02:49:19 Bridge Day, Powerpoint Day. He says, if anything, the war of aggression against Iran, along with Trump's erratic behavior, has shattered the illusion that a competent establishment exists in the United States. A network of experts and wiser heads embedded deep within the intelligence services, the military, the various agencies, supposedly capable of preventing apocalyptic decisions, with devastating consequences for the world.

Starting point is 02:49:45 He says there is no such thing. There are no real checks and balances. No mechanism exists to stop clearly unstable presidents from single-handedly pushing the world toward destruction. It's a deeply flawed political system that only functions well in Hollywood movies where extraterrestrial aliens attack. Now, what's interesting, though,

Starting point is 02:50:05 is we should also stand back and ask maybe this was part of at least one of the many possible directions to justify the new system. I mean, I know this sometimes frustrates people because we're, you know, if you can't, I mean, you, let's put it this way. It's important. It behooves you to stand back and consider all possibilities. That shouldn't be confusing to, you know,

Starting point is 02:50:27 could we can talk this entire time about whether this is about this one thing. We should also be able to stand back and then go, but maybe even simultaneously, but let's just talk about the other. That maybe all of this was the design of collapsing this situation. to justify the new technocratic governance or whatever while he's building out the board of peace and all these. I mean, or maybe both. But just consider that because I think it's really important to see how these multiply, it could be very well that they're involved with this one location and there's something else above them that's dictating the secondary agenda.

Starting point is 02:50:56 You just got to be able to mind of these things. But one of the larger points is about like, you know, collapsing the things where right now, like take a small example, the USAID or the Fed or IRS. They know we've all been calling certain things out about. him so Trump came in and goes, remove those things. Didn't do that. In fact, the ones even they pretended to remove, they were placed for something worse because that's the whole plan.

Starting point is 02:51:19 They know we're tired. They know we're done with the system. So they're not trying to justify the new switch. But back to the focal point, just considering that this might be all part of that because that's what this feels like. Because I agree with them. The system is ridiculous. It's been broken for a long time.

Starting point is 02:51:32 And that might be, I mean, and Trump seems to be doing it in a way that is so bombastically obvious that it's hard to miss. kind of hard to not consider that. But either way, whether Biden's or not, he's right. What they've done has completely destroyed any illusion of morality or like, you know,

Starting point is 02:51:49 what they've always framed themselves as. The moral guidance of the world, it's just gross to think about. Now, on the idea of the down plane and the deployment of troops, as I said, on the third, Iran refuses to meet, deal with the U.S. government, still true to this day,

Starting point is 02:52:06 troops deployed in Iran. I even thought about it when I wrote it. I'm like, well, is that, am I, is that, is that going to mislead people? I said, no, it's because I'm like being too objective because they will push back, but it's the truth. Even if it was, because I know, as I read, they deployed special operations to try to search for them and rescue them. So I's like, in what world can they do that without having somebody on the ground? And so I said, well, there you go. An official statement of the actual troops being used within Iran.

Starting point is 02:52:33 That's news if there's ever news in this conversation. yet it gets weird pushback. So we now have the story coming out first. And we had, oh, I forgot to play the other clip, actually. Here, let me play this really quickly because that was the one that goes off of the first conversation about Netanyahu standing back and saying, you know, it's just John Kierkeyek how repeating it. But the point is Netanyahu said, in case you to miss the beginning, it's America's war. It's not our war.

Starting point is 02:53:01 I have a Netanyahu said something that was very, very much. overlooked and I think very disturbing last week. And just ignore Megan Kelly, if you can. He was giving, he had given a speech and an Israeli reporter asked him a question about the American-Israeli war against Iran. And he corrected her. And he said, it's the American war against Iran. We are America's.

Starting point is 02:53:28 Interesting. So, disclosed says Pete Hague Seth fires two more generals, David Hondi and William Green, Jr. that was why the full number was 15, or is it, whatever the full number was. And one of the conversations, as we showed you earlier, was that people were uncomfortable with where this was going. And as Ken O'Keefe, a veteran himself, says, if you don't want to send 50,000 soldiers on a suicide mission, they'll just fire you. Right?

Starting point is 02:53:58 I mean, so what we're talking about is troops on the ground, guys, which is what we're told just happened. Now, what were we hearing yesterday? that there was clashes, or no, third. There was literal, massive clashes on the ground, and they were up there going, you're fake news, and you're lying, and whether they're covering an operation or not, guys,

Starting point is 02:54:19 you're, you're talking about Americans getting killed for something that's illegal, and then they just lie about it on top of everything else. So first, New York Times, down U.S. Air Force officer rescued deep inside of Iran. That was yesterday. So first, there was the ship that they lied about the planes being shot down, which was just this embarrassing display.

Starting point is 02:54:40 All day, Heg Seth is doing dancing around this, then later admit it. Just really stupid. And they shot them down. They guess they don't want to be seen as any kind of a weakness or failure, even though it's warfare. It's just weird. Then they claim they rescued somebody.

Starting point is 02:54:56 And I say claim because none of this can truly be verified, not in the sense of how, that there was a ship and there was a person. It seems like the only thing we can prove, or rather a plane, excuse me. but then they had somebody else that was there. They were over this last time frame, over the third to today,

Starting point is 02:55:12 they were trying to rescue, we're told, right? And so my point, that's going back to why I reported, well, that means they have people in Iran. That's obvious. So President Trump confirmed in a social media post just after midnight that the stranded officer had been brought out of Iran safely by U.S. forces. He added there were no U.S. casualties,

Starting point is 02:55:33 which seemed to suggest, which, I mean, I don't even know why. you take that a face value. They lie about it every time, but it would seem to suggest that maybe there's other casualties on the other side. But it says,

Starting point is 02:55:41 the rescue followed a life or death race between U.S. and Iranian forces, according to New York Times, that stretched over two days to reach the injured airmen. So two days. That means there's people on the ground for two days,

Starting point is 02:55:54 which again, I already think was there. And we already know they arm the Kurds. We already know they are in the protesters. So this is just kind of a mixed bag. But it says the injured airman, who is a weapon systems officer, current and former U.S. officials said, in the end, Navy SEAL Team 6 commandos extracted the officer in a massive operation that involved, according to them,

Starting point is 02:56:13 and this could be lied about, hundreds of special operations troops and other military personnel. So just hundreds of special operations troops, which apparently in the terminology of the military, somehow never means boots on the ground, which is just a dumb sidestep because it's totally boots on the ground. That is the total deployment, regardless of what they mean in a military framework. and other military personnel? Who knows? Thousands more for all we know, I doubt it. But the point was clearly, as I was even laughing about when I asked Grock, I said, well, there's troops in the ground? No troops in the ground.

Starting point is 02:56:44 I said, well, you just told me. It was this kind of effort to hide behind the words and not say it, even though they're saying it. It's frustrating. What is the deployment? So for those out there that were screaming, no more wars and peace president and, oh, well, at least no Iran. Well, now there's wrong, but at least no troops in the ground. Well, now we have troops in the ground. just one after another.

Starting point is 02:57:04 As Tiberius writes, Iran is escalating the war by shooting down the planes bombing it. New York Times. He says, this is the worst controlled media than anything I've ever seen from China,

Starting point is 02:57:14 Russian North Korea, Iran, literally arguing that by shooting down a plane trying to bomb their country during an illegal war that they're escalated. Sort of like Netanyahu saying, if you keep bombing back, we're going to destroy your civilian infrastructure.

Starting point is 02:57:28 It's just insane where we are. I don't even know how you can hide from this anymore. And back to these clips, this is on the third. So think about, this could be incorrect reporting, but we now have been verified from them that they had hundreds of troops in the ground. And here's what was being reported by Al Jazeera. So also think at the moment next time, don't blindly trust Al Jazeera or anybody,

Starting point is 02:57:50 but recognize that in this moment they were giving you the truth when the Midwestern sources and new media were all lying to you or being lied to. Well, the state TV has said that Iran has downed an American. can fighter jet. They say it's F-35. Now, we cannot confirm that for our side. And that two U.S. pilots are missing inside the Iranian territories. This took place towards the west of the country in the... At this moment, I believe Hegg says and the rest were denying this. I don't think I remember seeing their first engagement, but they were very clearly denying or at least sidestepping that these planes were shot down, even at the point to where it was like, you know,

Starting point is 02:58:37 some kind of secondary explosion or whatever they were saying. Like they're just so desperate to not admit those things, which screams weakness. But remember that whether it's about them being down or whether or not they were actually engaged troops in the ground, just they were telling you this, what other platforms were lying to you. Yeah, the areas of Louristan, between the areas of Luristan. And now we're hearing that according to information. that's circulating here on Iranian media that the US is conducting search operations for pilots who fell in two areas, Kaghulhu and Burwar Ahmed, as well as in Boucher.

Starting point is 02:59:16 Air drop operations have been carried out and intense clashes. So what the Iranians are saying is that there are intense clashes between this forces and Iranian ground forces from- So right there, if they're telling us they have hundreds of people, and Iran is saying, to the, there was heavy clashes between these forces. And yet they come back and tell us that nobody died. Does anybody believe that? Think of how little respect they have for these people

Starting point is 02:59:44 whisking their lives for their agenda, which I guarantee you they lied about to these people. The revolutionary guards in the Dalai Lama region, resulting in casualties among the invading forces. This is based on what the Iranians are saying. And here's just another follow-up post. This one's from the next day. This one is from the fourth.

Starting point is 03:00:07 Increasing numbers of reports indicate, now this looks like a video from the night before, so it's pretty much the same time frame. Increasing numbers of reports indicate that clashes are happening between U.S. and Iranian forces in the area where the U.S. pilots are suspected to be. Thousands of people, citizens, tribesmen are heading towards the areas of the clashes between U.S. forces and Mojidine on the ground.

Starting point is 03:00:27 Assal Rod and this just kills me, guys. So in regard to the conversation of the pilot, so it's on the fourth when this is ongoing, this is how they reported this. I'll let you hear it first. It's big news, isn't it? And I just keep bringing our viewers up to date. Why are we concentrating on one jet and one aircrew?

Starting point is 03:00:47 Well, it's because tactically, it's not really significant, but strategically, if Iran manages to find the aircrew first, then the danger is we go down a path, which we went down in the Gulf War when flight tenant John Peters, how we had him on earlier, you know, he was paraded, propaganda and it touched the whole world and it suddenly brings a human dimension to the war so at the suddenly yeah suddenly brings a human dimension to a war that's already killed millions of people you know they'll be real but well depending on what you're talking about the whole dynamic or just maybe

Starting point is 03:01:20 gaza but seriously all the people that have been killed but now suddenly the missing person brings a human a human dimension the sociopathic mindset of these people like these other lives don't matter. You realize other Americans have been killed already, right? It's speechless. I mean, it's just, I don't understand how they cannot recognize as from like a media perspective that that's just, it's just tone deaf, I guess. Like, you don't even see it anymore. That's bite blowing. And of course, what he's saying, by the way, is, you know, in the goal, for whatever else, well, what you're talking about here is these are illegal invasive actions or invading. You're talking about actions that are breaking the law. And then that that person is potentially hurt,

Starting point is 03:02:01 I don't want anybody be hurt. American, Iranian, anybody. But if you're going to be objective about it, realize that they broke the law by going in there. They're also in the middle of war, whether they did or not. So them being killed would be what they would tell us as part of war.

Starting point is 03:02:13 But then to turn it around to be like, they're going to hurt the guy and they're monsters. It's just you're trying to like spin this into some human issue that you put him in. And in fact, most cases turn around, it's not even really what they're going to do. Look at what Israel's doing and look at what they claim the other side was doing. You know that we can prove all this now.

Starting point is 03:02:29 We can still look back and realize they lied about almost everything they claimed Hamas was doing. And in almost every case, they did it themselves. It's the same thing as the U.S. does. Now, bombing an elementary school that kills 150 little girls. Collateral damage. Right? Missing pilot from fighter jet.

Starting point is 03:02:46 Human dimension. It really, and she's right. It dehumanizes the region. Now, here's what Trump said is the Easter miracle, which a lot of people argue might not have gone the way he argued. And we'll get into that next. News overnight in an extraordinary turn of events, the United States has rescued the second crew member who was in the U.S. F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran Friday.

Starting point is 03:03:13 President Trump texting me directly this morning, the rescue was an Easter miracle. Right, right. So texting me directly, the man who's lying about every single thing we've been hearing about this war. Go ahead, Trump. Let us know what's really going on. Why would you, in any context, whether he's been truth. anyway. He's a politician. Are you, so you're the adversarial media? No, you guys are blind, you guys, you are stenographers for the power.

Starting point is 03:03:40 Now look, you can, I mean, reporting that Trump's put the statement out is one thing. But when you look at the way they all cover this, it's like a success story. We did it and we're back and we're Americans and we're free. This is jingoistic propaganda. And honestly, some people are arguing that he might not even make it. Or that he might not have made it or might not make it.

Starting point is 03:04:00 or that they were horrible casualties that they're covering up by acting like this was a success. I'll show you some of the imagery in a second. But just realize how insane it is for a journalist, it's like we can call them that, to say that, you know, just like report this story as fact because Trump said it. Well, I mean, if you were going to be an honest reporter, you would include as a, you know, asterisk, he's also lied about a lot of these things and we can prove that. So bear that in mind. Not what you get.

Starting point is 03:04:24 The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and decisive. as cool as anyone can be. Are you serious? Were you there? Control as anybody can be? Like, this is so embarrassing. This is not some novel.

Starting point is 03:04:41 This is what makes you go. This probably didn't even happen. The Iranians thought they had him, but it wasn't even close. And remember, we got two, but couldn't talk about the first in that it would have highlighted that there was a second.

Starting point is 03:04:54 So now we're trying to make it look like that's why we had to lie to you all. If they had died, they would have denied it forever. and you damn will know it. Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent an enemy territory. Except it literally has a couple times,

Starting point is 03:05:08 but you know, Trump's the best ever. It is usually not done because it is considered not doable. Such a great military like no other. Adding on- Of all time, best thing, you know, it's just like this on top of, on top of, on top of.

Starting point is 03:05:21 The best operation of any operation we've ever operated a bit, you know, it's like just, it's stupid. It's actually cringy bad. I don't know why people don't make fun of him all the time. Now, some people do, but I'm talking about like the entire conversation, not just the blind follow, but like you're conservative out there. And you're not blindly following

Starting point is 03:05:39 anybody, but you have conservative values. This should be pursed to people you call out more than anybody. Social. Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Okay. So let's just go ahead and take that with a pound of salt and ask ourselves whether, you know, maybe the operation went down the way the military says. But he adds all these weird little adjectives and, you know, cruel than any cruel has ever been cruel, you know, whatever he says. So Dr. Sam Yusuf points out,

Starting point is 03:06:10 the Pentagon is hiding the truth about the failed operation last night. American camouflage for the landing operation at a remote airport. And if it is upon was actually aimed at a major military landing operation. The American Isfon operation was an initial landing operation for stabilizing entry routes and securing it for large ground landing operation. And when it failed, the Pentagon diverted the car, compass with the excuse of rescuing a pilot to justify their failure. His opinion, interesting, though, you don't rescue one pilot with a huge C-130. A lot of people pointed that out.

Starting point is 03:06:43 It was another major disaster and a failure that they lied about. So you could even argue what they're saying is they made up the whole story to justify a failure. But there's a lot of this going around, guys, about the many different things. This is one of them showing you this is supposedly the locations that they succeeded in. Here is Galaboff showing you the same. image saying if the United States gets three more victories like this, it'll be utterly ruined. You have friends like it. Who needs enemies? And you have friends like Israel.

Starting point is 03:07:16 I've got a point. Right. So this is, it belies the reality. It suggests that something else happened than them having some secret fly in, fly out, save operation. Because they're not even claiming that there was clashes, you understand. Here is Cosmo Trade saying Fox News reporting something that seems to contradict what Trump is saying. We don't know the condition of the airmen at this point.

Starting point is 03:07:41 I can tell you that the injuries are likely to be serious. We know that the pilot still remains in the region getting treatment. That suggests to me that the medical condition of the pilot is such that you cannot travel onto Landstool yet, must be stabilized before you can do that. This is still a very serious situation. A number of U.S. service members were injured during the rescue mission. We knew on Friday that... That's not or being told.

Starting point is 03:08:17 Two of the military helicopters were struck by... This is the chief national security correspondent. Enemy fire as part of that rescue mission. And then now we know more details about the 810 whart hog that crashed on Friday. That 810 whart hog was providing suppressive fire and flying cover for... the rescue operation. So think about that. So we're still telling, we're still claiming no one got killed and you literally lost

Starting point is 03:08:42 another plane in the defense of the operation to save the first guy. I mean, they're drowning in this. Does anybody even think it's possible that nobody got killed and all that? As they were trying to find this, they were in a race against the clock to find this second airman who had ejected from the plane and was hiding in that ridge line. But we know that that Aten wartham crashed in Kuwait and the pot. pilot of that plane also had to eject and be rescued. But he is safe as well, I'm told. And good news tonight. But I think when all is said and done and we learn the details

Starting point is 03:09:19 of this rescue mission, it really will be the stuff of Hollywood. Of course, because it is Hollywood. But the point, though, is that that could be a lie too. The whole thing could be manufactured, right? Or what they're beating her. Because this is what's so incredible, guys. We know that's what's going on. These people are lying about everything. They're literally coming out and getting caught lying about every part of the story. And yet the new day comes around and we all just take a face value, what they tell you is going on. That seems a little bit stupid, naive, doesn't it?

Starting point is 03:09:47 And it's obvious that they're trying to deceive you where they need to. So everything they say should be taken with a little bit of grain of salt, right? But here's Laura Lumer coming out and saying, Israel's our greatest ally. Thank you, Israel, for helping rescue our pilot. Oh, it's interesting. That's not what we heard over there. That's not what we heard from Trump. So now I'm starting to wonder if there's a whole other layer to the story about who, you know,

Starting point is 03:10:09 who's actually causing the deaths and destruction here. Israeli officials reportedly shared information with the U.S. as the search and rescue operation unfolded. I don't know, man. I mean, it's hard to know. None of this could be real because of how often, how obviously they're lying to us. So it's all, that's just my point is that it comes, ends up in this, you put it aside. But you, we could talk about it.

Starting point is 03:10:29 We discussed it. But at the end of the day, all of this is suspect. The fact that Lumer jumps in and goes, Israel's and, you know, responsible. It just feels wrong, guys. The whole thing, and as this goes forward, I bet you somebody's will become a little bit more full. Like, they'll come into view a little bit more. And you know what I mean about this?

Starting point is 03:10:45 We do this all the time. Over the year, you know, a month later, something else pops up where you go, oh, that's right. That thing she said or what, you know, and all of a sudden comes back around. And with how much they're lying, seems to happen more often. Craig Abbott says, this is so awesome and puts out this post

Starting point is 03:11:01 or, you know, tagged the post from somebody showing, allegedly, the person that was saved. And says, here's the photo of the honorable. colonel being rescued yesterday. God bless him. Our soldiers are all doing God's work. Happy Easter. But it says this image is not real, but AI generated. No credible records exist for the image, which depicts telltale AI signs. Well, look at that. So what's going on? You know, like, it really makes you wonder with what's all, I mean, it's just, it's everywhere you look, guys. Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, shared this. But look for yourself. You're

Starting point is 03:11:38 going to find this all over the place being shared by major people just we're being gaslit so that makes you wonder whether this even happened daniel lambert on bbc news now the top three stories on the fourth all about a single u.s pilot who was illegally bombing iran they didn't give a fraction of this coverage to 185 kids murdered by the united states this isn't news it's a blatant and sickening propaganda for war in USA. Now this is BBC. USA, same thing, guys. Anywhere else, same thing. James Woods, because he's just super smart. You know, he comes out and says, the auto pen, fool left astronauts to die in the outer space. The auto pen, fool left astronauts to die in outer space. President Trump sent an army to rescue one wounded American. Like, it's weird what you think

Starting point is 03:12:35 you're doing right here. First of all, because you're not, you know, the reality is, yeah, Biden and Trump, same thing. You're a child, right? Or you're just don't care and you're being dishonest. The idea that you somehow go, Trump's my guy. Biden's the bad one. You're an infant playing, you know, you're a girl throwing his panties at an Elvis concert. It's embarrassing.

Starting point is 03:12:53 Especially since Trump is a complete clown, lies all the time, and Biden can't tie his own shoes. But you pick which one you like better. The end of the day, President Trump said an army to rescue it. Why is it a good thing? You send an army illegally into a country to rescue a guy. that you put in there illegally that was tearing out illegal actions. This guy is a blind partisan supporter. Frankly, don't even think he knows what's going on.

Starting point is 03:13:16 He just thinks he does. But as I said, how's that autopen investigation going, by the way, James? The auto pen fool. Oh, you mean the thing that Trump has told you is not important anymore, but you made a big deal, right, all in capital? Like, what? Are you guys like, okay, what about Obama? When's he going to be to jail?

Starting point is 03:13:33 Or Pelosi, how about that? How about all the fraud that you keep screaming about? James Woods. What about that? Let me know when there's actual follow-through, as opposed to, I don't know, you flailing. And by the way, I agree they should be in jail. Maybe you don't. Maybe we should think about that. Maybe all these guys screaming about how it's all coming down actually don't want them to go to jail. Or maybe they just don't care. I do think Obama should be in jail. I do want to see him being held accountable. Apparently he doesn't if he's screaming about an auto pen. Or excuse me, I meant Biden, by the way. It's the same. I said,

Starting point is 03:14:06 Obama because we're talking up here. But Biden too. I think Biden should be in jail. He's a war criminal. These people don't care. Otherwise, they would call out the fact that they're not doing anything about it. Dylan Allman points to what Caroline Leavitt said. This is in response to the action. The rescuing on the fourth. She says, we got him. My fellow Americans over the past several hours in the United States military pulled off one of the most daring searching rescue operations in history. maybe you know what I mean like genuinely like whether it even happened maybe that was daring maybe you didn't do anything at all maybe you were complete maybe you guys failed spectacularly because we know you say this regardless Caroline leave it but either way if it was it let's say it went spectacularly

Starting point is 03:14:51 was it truly the most daring in history both since he says that about everything he does we should ask that as how bad this gets he's the boy who cries wolf in every dynamic but it continues and you know the point was just it's so great and we did great and everyone one and we're the best thing ever happy easter everybody okay so dylan says this is blood polished propaganda for an occupation that never should have existed in the first place i do not care how many flags are draped over it how many capital letters are screamed into the void or how theoretically the rescue is narrated those soldiers should not have been there their lives were placed in danger by the same state now demanding applause for retrieving them from the danger that it engineered that it

Starting point is 03:15:33 put them in. Then, with the usual vulgar reflex, the whole thing is repackaged as patriotic liturgy designed to convert fear, relief, and sentiment into fresh consent for the next escalation. Well put. I'm willing to bet you. Caroline leave it, can't even read half those words. So that's where we are. U.S. continued strikes on Iran after successful rescue of the F-15E aircrew. Weird, though, as somebody pointed out to me, that they don't mention their names. Isn't that strange? April 4th, successful, completed rescue? Okay.

Starting point is 03:16:08 Service members were safely. Oh, but the most important part, U.S. strikes into Iran, continue. What do you mean? Continue? Is it not April 5th, Sunday? Didn't Trump just tell us we were waiting until Tuesday or Monday or whatever one,

Starting point is 03:16:21 whatever post you decided to look at? Oh, but like I've been telling you, if you pay attention, they've been bombing the whole time. Because the U.S. has been working alongside Israel to continue to bomb Lebanon and Iran. Because apparently Israel, can control the U.S. military whether Trump's involved or not. Weird, right?

Starting point is 03:16:37 Am I crazy, guys? I mean, this is not a joke. This is posted by U.S. Central Command. They're telling you, we've continued to bomb Iran. Right in this moment, on the 5th, today, we were just told that we were waiting until tomorrow or Tuesday or whatever. I mean, this is, there needs to be a word made for this. It's not crazy, cartoonish. It's something special. Like, it's just like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, think really, like I've said a thousand times, is they're at a point where they're, you're not just going to go fine, we're lying, you got us. That's never going to happen. But so you get to a point to where it becomes so ridiculous because we all know it, there's no answer they can give you.

Starting point is 03:17:15 They just have to make up a new lie and we all go, whatever, that's ridiculous. And it gets more and more compounded. You know what I mean? And so the point is you're like, whatever reason, they put this out, maybe they're telling the truth, maybe they want you to see it. But the lies are everywhere to where this just becomes obvious. These people should be in front of the Hague right now. This point again, Israel is telling the world it's America's war. I really want that to register with the honest conservatives who are on the fence about this and recognize what we're talking about and then recognize that Trump will continue to put your lives at risk for Israel. As they stand back and say it's all your fault, you can do it. It's not ours. It's on you. As they then keep

Starting point is 03:18:01 using U.S. people to carry out their war and keep standing there on the microphone and going Iran's bad, take her on Iran. But it's your work. It's what they do. I have a minute who said something that was very, very much overlooked and I think very disturbing last week. He was giving, he had given a speech and an Israeli reporter asked him a question about the American-Israeli war against Iran. And he corrected her. And he said, it's the American war against Iran. We are America's ally. And I thought, oh, buddy, that's not what you were saying two weeks ago. Now we stand alone doing your dirty work. Shut up, but that's what it's come down to. Megan, just sit down for a minute. Oh, you're sitting there. You know, like, I'm just so tired,

Starting point is 03:18:49 terror and Alex and all the rest of them, guys. You guys literally dragged people into this. And now you act like you're just so outraged. And I guarantee, because they've done it many times that they fall right back into line the easiest moment that presents itself. I'm tired. I'm tired of the, that she's literally the one that said that Palestinians would rather have their children start to death than help out a Jewish person. That's how gross this person is. Whether she believes it or not, you're a lost person. I mean, it's just that that is something that needs to be expressed. And I shouldn't say it like that because I'd like to believe anybody can find their way back if they want to. But imagine if you flipped it around and simply said that

Starting point is 03:19:26 a Jewish person would rather have a Palestinian or have their family starve to death. than help a Palestinian. They would, you would be racist, out Dysemitic, and you lose your job. It's the same exact sentiment. But here she is shaking your head because, I mean, do you realize how very clearly she supports this agenda with Israel and Trump, the whole damn thing,

Starting point is 03:19:47 but now she's all uncomfortable at it? I mean, even the point with Iran, she came out pretty early kind of going like, this is not the right path, but there's been many examples where she's towed the line for Trump's agenda. Anyway, the point is, John Kirakow telling you that Israel has thrown you under the bus, America.

Starting point is 03:20:05 As we told you, as we showed you the meme, the classic of Israelis sitting on the beach, Americans in coffins with flags over them. And we told you this is where it's going to go, not because we're psychic or we've seen them do it before. Now, just remember that as we go into the next agenda, the next topic, and the next year, and the next administration, and continue to recognize the people who are out here telling you the same truths. I shouldn't say it like that, but the truth. They were telling you the reality of what's going on, and that are consistent with the principles and logic and everything.

Starting point is 03:20:36 To finish, as we discussed with Gaza, and as we know, they're doing everywhere else, Israel and the United States, involve this agenda. It's important to come all the way back around. Take a look at this. I mean, that's a little, that's a crane right there. There's two cranes. Those are not small things, guys.

Starting point is 03:20:56 This is a massive picture of what used to be Gaza. That's that's it's just it's flat. What, 2.5 million people lived there? Half children? Who knows now? This is what Israelis meant when they very publicly said not a stone upon a stone. It's a bit, it's a prophecy. Referring to what they wanted to do to Gaza.

Starting point is 03:21:26 I called them Amalek. destroy everything, which was being stated from the very beginning. Only liars and morons are still pretending this was not the most obvious and well-documented genocide in history. I don't know how you can miss that. And as Saul Rod points out, another picture, similar point, where herettes, an Iranian missile hit my home while my kids were alone. It's insane. Well, as the other person pointed out, well, you started the,

Starting point is 03:22:00 war and you're bombing everybody right now and killing people in Tehran and everywhere else. But this is the real point. Well, these were homes. These had families in them. Each one of these had hopes and dreams and college aspirations. I mean, these were families. And now they're rubble on the ground. And you laughed about it.

Starting point is 03:22:19 Right? So, and I'm not talking about these individual people. I'm talking about Israeli government. So the fact that these people are suffering is because of the Israeli government. Now, who knows whether they're supported or not? And if they supported it, they sat there on that cliff and ate popcorn while they died, well, then they were getting what they reaping, what they sowed. But if not, and they are in the middle somewhere or stood up and said that they don't support

Starting point is 03:22:42 what Israel is doing, the point is Israel has still put them in the middle of this. They are the one suffering because of Israel's a legal agenda. If you're an Israeli or anybody else out there, stand up and call it out because they don't care about you. Just like the IDF will beat up Orthodox Jews in the street because they stand up against Zionism. they'll beat up anybody. They will kill anybody. They will torture anybody if you get in their way.

Starting point is 03:23:05 And you had love for that to be hyperbolic. It's just not. History, we'll show you that. These were homes too. Doctors, not borders. Not 2025, 2025, 24, April 3rd, 2026. We haven't been able to bring any supplies into Gaza, Palestine, since the 1st of January, because Israel authorities are blocking.

Starting point is 03:23:31 aid. Yeah, that didn't change. People just moved on. Read from our medical advisor in Gaza about how this is affecting operations in our hospitals. Saul Rod points out, doctors without borders. There's a critical shortage of medical supplies in Gaza because Israel is blocking aid. Media crickets. Nothing. They're dying every day. Didn't change. I mean, the obvious reality here, guys, is this is something everybody knows about. Just doesn't stop. Mom and Safa,

Starting point is 03:24:02 who recently resigned from the UN because he's calling all this out and refuses to be silent. When I was six years old, he writes, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys, you know, just like they did in Gaza or pretty much everywhere else. The intent behind these divides, again, really not being harbolic about this. This is a practice that they do.

Starting point is 03:24:21 In Gaza, they were little cans that looked like food and as well as little things that looked like toys. It was very well documented. That's aimed at children. the intent behind the devices was to lure children into handling them leading to fatal outcomes. But keep topic talking about how Israel is not targeting children. In fact, how did I not conclude that? Dang it.

Starting point is 03:24:48 It's a horrible story. But there was one, I mean, I guess I'll just get into it the next show. I don't want to try to find it. But another story showing you that there was more like autopsy's reports coming from all the different children that were shot. And you've heard this actually because it's been reported pretty widely by numerous doctors there, but that they aimed for the head and the genitals. And it showed you that like 70% of the shots in children they found were in those two locations. That's who we're dealing with, guys.

Starting point is 03:25:16 And you know this stuff. Israeli settlers killed a Palestinian farmer on his own land in front of his father. Yes, again, writes the headline for the leading Israeli newspaper, Heretz, April 3rd, 2026. just another day in occupied West Bank that Trump supports killed his father or killed him in front of his father

Starting point is 03:25:37 yep again just another day Lebanon as Muhammad points out no one talks about this in the corporate media anyway this is what Israel is doing to its neighbors

Starting point is 03:25:47 destroying entire villages it's not Gaza it's Lebanon look at that that's one explosion that's an entire neighborhood they mean they're just

Starting point is 03:26:04 ethnically cleansing everybody. Millions of Christians are being displaced. Christians in Lebanon are speaking out about how they're being killed by, I mean, it's everywhere you look. They're telling Muslims that they're not telling the Christians in Lebanon that are not allowed to help the Muslims who are fleeing for their bombs, and they're also persecuting the Christians who are choosing to speak out about it. Because I don't care about any of it. Genuinely unbelievable, she writes, that Israel can ethnically cleanse over a million people and still keep its name out of the headlines. As AP writes, Lebanon's displace Shiites face rising hostility as airstrikes fuel fear of an eviction.

Starting point is 03:26:41 Must be just falling from the sky. Must be magic, right? Yes, who knows who's involved? Because they don't write Israel. This clip is upsetting. Now, I'm actually going to play a little bit of it. It's been long, so I'm going to wrap. But I'll try to play this next one, actually.

Starting point is 03:26:57 But Alex Crawford shared this. We've been in Marjeune, the mainly Christian town of South Lebanon, which has been told by Israeli military, not to give sanctuary to their Muslim neighbors, fleeing the surrounding villages, being bombed by Israeli jets, human rights groups call it ethnic cleansing. Israel claims it's getting rid of Hezbole militants

Starting point is 03:27:22 endangering citizens across the border. Here's what they had to say about that. So I'll play a little bit of this. We'll see, maybe it all will see. And then I'll play with one clip to end, but I'll leave it there today. Thank you for tuning in, guys. Hope you had a nice day with your family,

Starting point is 03:27:37 whatever your religion, wherever you are in the world. and I think that, you know, times like this from, you know, from the Easter holiday in the United States or wherever else is being practiced, that it's important that we reflect on what the real meaning of these are, not the, not the Hollywood or whatever you would call it, the, you know, corporatized version. But the idea, like what even like the bastardized version

Starting point is 03:27:57 of Christmas has become gifts and whatever else, but it is still within this, this idea of this good-natured element, right, of being your best self, of caring about other people. It's always there because I, believe this is what we truly are as a culture, a species. Like at the end of the day, as I've always said, as I think Kathleen, Caitlin Johnstone said, that they wouldn't pretend to be good in fighting for freedom if we didn't want that. Right. I mean, if we all wanted bad things, why wouldn't they just be, I mean, you could argue that's where Trump's going with it. But up until now, it's

Starting point is 03:28:28 clear that I think people, and I think even with Trump, you can see that his supporters don't want this. People want good. They're just not good. And what they've realized, if they can pretend they are, that many of us will put our head in the sand and let them do their evil things. He's got to care. People matter. Lives matter. Your dreams matter. Your neighbor.

Starting point is 03:28:49 I mean, everybody, you can see that people have. There's everybody, whether you're in Iran or Saudi Arabia or in the furthest corner of wherever you think you're talking about, they have ambitions for their life and dreams and hopes for their family and want their children to grow up and one. And yet we act like these people are just somehow the other.

Starting point is 03:29:06 They just hate you for your freedom or whatever, for disgustingly stupid thing we bought. And whether that's even true or not, well, guess what? They have a right to do and hate and feel what they want, like anyone else in the world. And they also have a justification because your government's been killing them

Starting point is 03:29:20 our entire lives. But we can change these things. I think we are changing these things. So thank you for tuning in. I have two interviews tomorrow, possibly both coming out tomorrow. I mean, and shoot, if I have the opening in the time, I'll try to get a show out,

Starting point is 03:29:36 but it's probably unlikely for tomorrow. And then I'll be doing one the next day after that. And I believe we have, as I said, the Bibhu Dev Mistra interview discussing the Yuga cycle conversation, again, a follow-up because he's got some interesting insights into where he thinks we are right now. So I figured it'd be fun to follow up with him and get into that side of it, more of the esoteric. But appreciate your support. We literally couldn't do this without you.

Starting point is 03:29:59 I love you all. As always, question everything. Come to your own conclusions. Stay vigilant. The road into Majayune is difficult and dangerous. All around here is fighting. There are constant Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah shelling, trying to stop the troops advancing into South Lebanon,

Starting point is 03:30:21 but also hitting villages in northern Israel. Lots of hits along the road on the way in. The town's water supplies have already been bombed. We see the evidence as we enter. We've negotiated special passage here with the town's officials and the Lebanese army who are still very present in the town. Majoyun's geography makes it a key position which Israel is keen to control on its eastern front.

Starting point is 03:30:48 The town sits on a hill overlooking the Latani River Valley and Israel wants the river as its new border or buffer zone, taking an extra 10% of Lebanese territory. The backdrop of bombing is ever present. The window is shut. Did it land? get used to this though. When were you in Gaza? When were you in Gaza?

Starting point is 03:31:32 End of April for the first couple weeks. And then there are sniper bullets. I have children that were shot twice. Wait, you're saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers. Definitively. I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head in the same child.

Starting point is 03:31:54 No toddler get shot twice by mistake by the world's best sniper, and they're dead center shots. In fact, more than 20 doctors recently in Gaza also told Sunday morning about gunshot wounds to children. One American doctor told us he even reviewed CT scans to confirm what he saw, because he, quote, didn't believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the head. Some shootings have been captured on video.

Starting point is 03:32:31 So of all the disaster zones you've seen, how does Gaza compare? All of the disasters I've seen combined, combined. 40 mission trips, 30 years, ground zero, earthquakes, All of that combined doesn't equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza.
