Good evening, everybody. You're watching America first, my name is Nicholas J. Fuentes. We got a great show for you tonight. Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Wednesday. We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into. Big show. Our featured story tonight, we're talking all about the war in Iran. Day 19. Three and a half weeks. Wow. Three and a half weeks. That has flown by. Is it really been that long or No? I guess it's. It's almost three weeks. We're in the third week, entering the fourth week on Friday. Wow. Time flies. Anyway, so. So there's that. This is a long war. But the good news is, are you ready? The good news is it's only two more weeks. You see? So it's actually not that bad. It's actually not even a big deal at all. It was supposed to be four days. It went a little bit long. It's only gonna be a couple more weeks. What do they used to say? Two weeks to flatten Iran. I mean, two weeks to flatten the curve. So we're in the middle of week three, and we're gonna be talking all about the war in Iran. Big news. Big news out of the war today. And we're gonna be trying to cover a lot of different things. I don't know how much we're actually gonna have time to get into. I'm thinking about four different major updates in the war, and we'll try to get to all of them. Like I said, I'm not sure that we will finish. First of all, there have been some major developments in the course of the war. First and most importantly, we are now entering what they're calling a new phase in the war. They say that this is an escalation, and we anticipated this. The Trump administration telegraphed it last week when he bombed Carg island, or at least the military assets on Carg Island. But today, the war has officially shifted into a new and escalated phase of energy warfare. You could say it was already an energy war. Energy is a major factor. That is what the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is all about. That is the chief means by which Iran is trying to force the United States to exit the conflict. However, up until this point, the US And Israel have refrained, or for the most part refrained from striking energy infrastructure inside of Iran out of fear that Iran will retaliate and hit energy infrastructure in the Gulf. This would be a major problem because it would take potentially months, years, maybe a decade to repair all of the energy infrastructure which would lead to permanently high energy prices. So so far the US and Israel, they've hit everything else, everything other than oil and gas in Iran. Iran doing their part, has refrained from hitting Saudi, Qatari, Emirati, Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil and natural gas infrastructure. Well, that changed today. And that's the biggest development today. Israel launched a major strike on Iran's gas fields near Tehran. Huge strike. And because this is still a developing story, we don't really know actually all the details, it's disputed. And what I mean by that is earlier in the day we were told that the Trump administration approved of the strike. So far the administration doesn't want Israel to bomb the energy infrastructure for the aforementioned reason. Earlier in the day, I think morning or afternoon, it was reported that Trump gave the go ahead, he greenlit the strike and that the administration was aware of it and they were okay with it and they approved it. And Israel carried out the strike. Iran retaliated and they bombed natural gas fields in Qatar in the United Arab Emirates and oil in Saudi Arabia later in the day. The Arabs were furious. Emirates, Qataris and Saudis condemn the attacks. And they are furious with the Trump administration for allowing this because of course, Israel strike on Iran directly catalyzed Iran's strike on the Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. So then just hours ago, hours ago in the evening, Trump put out a post on True Social and said he didn't know about the strike at all. He said the administration was unaware of Israel's attack, did not give Israel permission to carry out the attack, and has said that there will be no further attacks on Iran's energy in the future and that if Iran hits any energy inside the Gulf, then the United States will retaliate. And do what exactly? I assume more attacks on Iran's infrastructure. Energy infrastructure, that seems to be the implication. So once again, it's like with everything else, we don't really know what's going on. It's like the beginning of the fighting. What is the goal? What's the plan? How long are we gonna be there? Will there be boots on the ground? Are we close to done or is victory far away? Is it gonna be a four week war or years? We don't know. We don't know. And so today there's a huge attack on the energy infrastructure and we don't even know what the US position is on it. Did we know? When did we know? Did we give the approval or not? It is currently disputed. I think Trump is just lying. Like everything else. I think Trump is just abjectly lying. Of course Israel told the United States, and of course the United States knew about it, and of course they approved it, because this is part of the escalatory tactic against Iran, just like how Trump bombed Carg island last week. He authorized this strike because he is trying to ratchet up the pressure on Iran to compel them to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open up. And we'll talk about why. I suspect this. If you understand the timeline, it's very clear that that is what happened. And we'll get into the details of that. That's gonna be our main story about the operational side of the conflict. This is a war of attrition now. That's just how it is. And it's a war that we really can't win. So Trump is trying to find a creative solution here, trying to find a way to have his cake and eat it, too. How do we escalate the fighting without really escalating? How do we pry the Strait of Hormuz open without toppling the regime or invading the country? He seems to be trying to find a way out, but this is threading the needle here. This is a very narrow gap that Trump is trying to shoot through here between two really bad options, either a strategic defeat or a totally unacceptable escalation. So we'll talk all about the energy warfare, then. We're also gonna talk again, if we have time, about some of the plans to escalate. So in the background, it's very hard to tell what is really happening. Here's what I mean by this. In the background of all of this, all of this negotiating, bargaining, that's happening, as I said, Trump is looking for a creative solution. In the meantime, there does appear to be a serious effort underway to escalate the fighting. And we saw last week, Trump has sent 5,000 Marines on amphibious assault ships to the Persian Gulf. What are they going there for? Nobody knows. Today, Trump is considering reinforcing those 5,000 Marines with thousands more ground troops. What that is going to look like, how many from where, we're not sure. But there's a report out of the administration that Trump is seriously considering ground reinforcements in the Persian Gulf, and that points toward an invasion of some kind. Maybe that's a Special Forces operation, maybe they're invading the island, the coastline, but it's pointing towards an escalation on the ground. Simultaneously, the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion for the conflict. Now, so far, the fighting is costing us about $1.9 billion a day. So if they're asking for $200 billion. Are they preparing to fight for a hundred days or longer? That's a serious spending package. Now, Kevin Feinberg in the Pentagon, he is responsible for a lot of the military procurement, for the actual purchases of weapons. He's been saying we need to replenish our arsenal of precision munitions and other weapons. He says we need $200 billion, $200 billion for the war. It's probably cost us somewhere in the ballpark of $30 billion to date, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Now they're asking for a serious increase in spending. We talked earlier in the conflict about how US Military intelligence is setting up personnel in southern Florida and they're digging in for a 100 day conflict, maybe going as far as September. So while Trump is trying some of these creative solutions to try to break the stalemate and exert more pressure on Iran and possibly alleviate some of the economic pain, simultaneously preparations are underway for an escalation on the ground. They're digging in for a long conflict. Now, the reason I say it's hard to understand precisely what's happening here is because you have to ask the question, is this a signal? Are they purely signaling to Iran, telling Iran that we're ready for the long haul? Because everything in war time, it could be a legitimate preparation, it could be telegraphing or signaling that we're digging in. What's the difference? Well, if we're trying to get Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, we're already bombing them thousands of times. They know and we know that the only way for us to actually escalate and topple their regime or suppress the drone and missile fire is to invade. They know that we know that they know we know we know they know we know. Okay, both sides are very aware of this. You know this, I know this. Everybody knows the way to win is to invade. And nobody wants that to happen. So Iran is under the impression that they only need to last a few weeks. They maybe are not prepared to really go the distance, cuz they're getting hit really hard. And although they have a very deep bench in terms of IRGC leadership that can replace those that are assassinated. And although the regime is hanging on, how long can a country really sustain being attacked thousands of times every day before civil order simply collapses and society fragments and balkanizes and there's total disorder, total civil unrest? So if the Trump administration is making preparations for a long war, is that telegraphing to the Iranians that Trump is a madman? That is willing to go six to 12 months. Is that signaling to the Iranians that it can in fact get worse? That the Iranian regime cannot survive a long conflict, that the United States might be irrationally committed? Or is the Trump administration actually making those preparations and actually preparing an operation to invade the coastline along the Strait of Hormuz, or to invade Karg island, or to seize Iran's nuclear facilities or highly enriched uranium? It's hard to tell exactly what the goal is there. So we'll talk a little bit about that. And we're also gonna talk tonight about Tulsi Gabbard, who in a hearing in the U.S. senate today. This is amazing. She was asked point blank by Joel Ossoff from Georgia, a Democrat. She was asked, do you believe that Iran presents an imminent threat to the United States? And she basically toed the line with the Trump administration and said, well, whatever Trump determines is a national security threat, that is true. And this is really the central question. This is the pretext for the entire war. Israel and President Trump, not even his whole administration, but Trump himself, they have said, we had to invade Iran. We were left with no choice, or rather, we had to attack Iran. We had to go to war because Iran presented an imminent threat. This was the justification. Joe Kent, who worked in the office of the dni, Tulsi Gabbard's office at the Counterterrorism Center. Kent resigned yesterday saying, this is a lie, this is not true. Iran did not present an imminent threat, and so the justification for the war is false. So Tulsi Gabbard was presented with that question. This is becoming kind of the definitive question of the conflict. She was asked, did Iran pose an imminent threat? And she totally ducked the question. And she deferred to the President and said, well, it's really up to Trump to decide what is a threat and what isn't a threat. And the Senator said, that's false. No, that's your job, actually. You have discretion. You have the ability to judge. You are the head of the office of the Directorate of National Intelligence. So her job is actually to gather the intelligence from all the 17 intelligence agencies and to create options and insights for the President. It's your job to determine what's an imminent national security threat. And she said, I don't know. That's Trump's job. It's Trump's judgment, it's his determination. That's all that matters. And if you know anything about Tulsi Gabbard, this is a disgusting betrayal, because for years she has been a non interventionist and has said that we should not fight a war with Iran, that Iran is not an imminent threat. That whatever threat Iran does pose to our strategic interests or allies in the region, it does not justify intervention, much less a regime change war led by the United States. And this is after yesterday. She effectively said the same thing on Twitter yesterday after Joe Kent resigned. Her follow up to that because Kent was her deputy in the O D N I. Gabbard said on Twitter basically the same thing. It's Trump's judgment. Whatever he says is an imminent threat is an imminent threat. So this is either cowardice or it's a total betrayal. Either way, I told you so. I told you that Tulsi Gabbard was not our girl. Everybody said in 2024, during the presidential transition, they said, we're gonna have this unbelievable administration. We're gonna have J.D. vance and we're gonna have Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. And all these people. And I told you, all these people suck. Pete Hegseth is not based. Marco Rubio is not based. JD Vance is not based and neither is Tulsi Gabbard. All of these people are crap. Tulsi Gabbert has a lot of weird connections. I believe she was on the Council on foreign relations. J.D. vance, you know the story at this point. RFK Junior's campaigning with Rabbi Schmooley and Marco Rubio has always been a puppet of the Adelens. But people seriously thought in 2024 this was not even acceptable. They thought this was the dream team that would deliver the Golden Age. Well, now you see how much that is worth. Joe Kent and Tulsi Gabbard and Dan Caldwell, all these people in the admin, and this is what you get. So that's that. But we're gonna get into it. We got a lot to cover.

And I'm in there all the time. I Dropped another voice message last night. I went into it a lot yesterday was a pretty interesting show and I did like a post show followup on Telegram. I dropped like a 30 minute voice message. 30 minute additional bonus content only for the group chat. So if you're interested, check that out. Like I said, that's America first, dot plus, yesterday's show was very interesting and I spelled it out. If you missed the show last night, it was really essential viewing. If you wanna understand what's going on with Joe Kent, you have to watch the show last night. And I gave a little blurb on Telegram this evening and, and I will just actually restate it here very briefly because I do think it's that important. Everybody is talking about this Joe Kent letter and if you haven't heard yesterday, Joe Kent, he is the director of the center for Counterterrorism, which is under the office of the Directorate of National Intelligence run by Tulsi Gabbard. Yesterday, Joe Kent resigned his post to JD Vance, the vice president, and he published his letter of resignation on Twitter and basically said, I cannot go on in this role because I don't believe in what the administration is doing. He said Iran does not and did not pose an imminent threat to the United States or our core interests. That was a lie. He said rather we were dragged into the conflict by Israel. He said we were dragged into the conflict much like we were in Iraq by Israel and its lobby in the United States. And, and he said that he could not in good conscience support sending US Soldiers to die in the Middle east like they have been sent in the past for another endless war on behalf of a foreign government. And it was a great statement. I give it about a B, I, I would maybe give it a B, a B plus for reasons I got into yesterday. He simultaneously said that the killing of Qasem Soleimani was America first and a great decision, but also said the war in Iran is America last and influenced by the Israelis. And that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I. It's just not true. And you don't get one without the other. So you can't be in favor of killing Suleimani but also then want to pull back when we go to war in Iran because the killing of Sulaiman directly led to the conflict. And anyway, I talked a lot about that last night, but he published this letter and then today he went on Tucker Carlson's show and they did, I believe 90 minutes or two hours. And Joe, Ken elaborated on his position and it was really Uninteresting. It was pretty boring, actually, if you're familiar with these conversations. It wasn't really anything new. And I have to say, it was a little bit scummy. Tucker put it behind a paywall. So. So he advertised this morning that Joe Kent was gonna be on the show live at 6 o', clock, and then they put it behind a paywall on the website. You gotta pay six bucks to watch it. It's like we're at war, okay? We are at war in Iran. The deputy to the ODNI resigned because he said Israel made us fight the war. You get the exclusive interview. You. You put it behind a $6 paywall. You tell the goyum you can't watch the interview unless you paid the toll. Unless you pay the $6. That's crazy. Okay? That's actually crazy. And that's coming from the guy that is always saying, oh, I don't need anybody's money. Oh, I'm not taking money from Iran. You know, when he does that voice, I don't want their money. I don't need their money. Right? I don't need anybody's money. But I'm also not that rich. I'm a trust fund guy. But also, I don't have $50 million. How dare you say that. Guy that doesn't care about money, by the way. Guy that doesn't need or care about money. You can watch my exclusive interview with the defecting director of counterterrorism, but only if you give me $6. What? What? $6? It's only $6. We got to afford to pay the bills. You know? It's like, that's crazy. That's a little. Hey, that's a little bit Jewish, you know? That's a little bit Jewish. $6. Why you Jew in us, Tucker? What is that? So what is that, $6? Cause I got all excited. I. I got my door dash, I'm in my chair. I'm kicking my feet. I'm ready to watch the show. I'm all excited. Okay, here we go. Where is it? Oh, it's not on YouTube. Okay. Go on Twitter. It's not there. So I go on Tucker Carlson Network paywall, $6. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. That just ain't right. That ain't right. I do this show live every night for free. Free. It's always been free. I've never paywalled the show ever. And I'm not a trust fund kid. Fox News never paid me $20 million. Go sell your Masa chips. He's got a big problem with me. Hey, I never sold masa chips, okay? And I never pay walled anything anyway. Whatever, but he pays well. Moving on. He paywalls the show. And I'm watching the show. It's pretty standard stuff. There was one thing in the show that I didn't like. Joe Kent says, well, they wouldn't let us ask any questions about the Charlie Kirk assassination. And I know a lot of people are probably going to ask me about that in the super chats. And I'm sure people saw that clip and they're drawing conclusions. Look, Joe Kent is a director of counterterrorism. He works in the directory of national intelligence. If you know something about Charlie Kirk's assassination, then tell us. Otherwise, shut up. I have so had it. And maybe this isn't popular, maybe you're not gonna like this, but this is the truth. I have had it up to here with the just asking questions, the vague insinuations, vague implications. Joe Kent is not a civilian. He's not an Internet sleuth. He was the head of counterterrorism in the federal government in the office of the Directorate of National Intelligence. He goes on Tucker and says, well, well, no one is letting us ask any questions about this. There were foreign intelligence ties to investigate, but we couldn't look into em. The FBI told us, hey man, everybody knows what you're implying. And what you're implying is that there's a conspiracy because there's a coverup. That's the implication. This is sensationalism. You're talking about something that obviously everybody's interested in. That's been the subject of a lot of debate. You are intentionally engaging in sensationalism. You are intentionally being vague. You are intentionally making implications and insinuations. And people will draw inferences from those statements, from these vague statements by saying we can't ask any questions. There were things to investigate, but they wouldn't let us. What you're saying is there's a cover up. The FBI covered it up? Covered up what? Some kind of grand conspiracy? You know what, man? If you got something to say, then fucking say it. You're not an Internet sleuth like us. You actually were involved in the usic, in the intelligence community. So you know something or you should know something, or you had power to know something. If you know something that then tell us. That's brave. That's courageous. Don't give us these vague insinuations. I could get that from Candace Owens. I could get that from anybody. If you Know something, then tell us, then say it. Otherwise, why even go there? I'm a little bit skeptical. I'm a little bit suspicious. Tucker does the same thing. Tucker told us that he knew for a fact Erica Kirk was being followed by Egyptian planes. That's what he said when Canis owens pushed on 28 different shows that Erica and Charlie Kirk were being chased by Egyptian military aircraft. Tucker Carlson said, I happen to know that that is happening for a fact. Really? Because in mid December, somebody paid for the same data the Kanans has with which is available if you pay $900. And he found out that all her data was bogus. It was all fake. She messed it up. She entered the data incorrectly. And so all of that was a giant hoax. And then she never spoke of it again, never talked about it again. The moment it was debunked by somebody that just had the time and resources and IQ to literally fact check it. So what happened to that? Tucker says, well, I happen to know the Egyptian planes are real. I happen to know that Mossad tried to do a false flag in Saudi Arabia after the war in Iran started. I happen to know there's a conspiracy. Joe Kent says, we're being told we can't ask questions. You know what, if you two people know something, why don't you share with the rest of us? Otherwise, shut up. What good does that do in the conversation to say, well, there's this conspiracy? But you know, I can't talk about that. Really? So then what are we doing here? What's the point of this interview? Why are we doing a podcast then? Why are we doing an interview? What's the point of going on TV and saying, I'm gonna give Tucker the exclusive. We're gonna do a paywalled show. We're gonna do a paywalled show. Tell all. Oh, did you hear what Joe Ken said about the Charlie Kirk assassination? He strongly implied there's a conspiracy. Well, what is the actual purpose of having you in the U.S. i see. And then flaming out and resigning if you're not going to tell us what you know, do you know something or not? Because if you know something and you're not telling us, then you're part of the COVID up and you're lying. If you don't know anything but you're implying you know something, then you're lying and I question your motives. Why are you. Why are you leading us to draw this inference? I. I don't like that beyond that. So I saw that and that made me lose my mind. I'M so sick of that stuff. I have no tolerance for that. No to every day. These people are baiting us to subscribe, get on the paywall, watch the next episode. We have new Charlie Kirk text messages. On tomorrow's episode, we have Netanyahu's letter, but we're not going to release it until we have new. What did Candace Owens put out the other day? We have new footage from behind Charlie Kirk. She waits until the end of the episode, puts it at the very end, and it's a nothing burger. I'm so sick of that. I'm a conspiracy theorist. I believe in conspiracies. I wanna see the evidence. And don't tell me you're a brave truth teller. Don't tell me you're a martyr. If you're hiding things and if you don't know something, then don't imply that you do, because that's dishonest. And so, anyway, I had a big problem with that. Beyond that, I believe this whole Joe Kent thing is an op. It is the most obvious op in the whole world. And it's accomplishing one of two things. One, and this is maybe the most obvious, Tucker apparently is gonna get charged with Fara. He says he knows that. How does he know that? Nobody knows. How does he know half the shit he says he knows? Nobody knows. Do we even believe it? Tucker says the CIA is reading my text messages. Okay, how do you know that? That's highly questionable, he Sundays, but the CIA is reading my text messages to the Iranian government and they're gonna charge me under Farah Foreign Agent Registration act as a undisclosed lobbyist for the Iranian regiment. This is what Tucker says on Saturday. Then Joe Kent resigns on Tuesday, goes on Tucker's show the following day, and they have this big interview about the war in Iran. Well, it comes out this afternoon that Joe Kent is under investigation by the FBI, and that investigation predates his resignation and maybe even the whole war with Iran. And they say it's related to him leaking classified intelligence. Now, Joe Ken and Tucker Carlson are good friends. Maybe. Was Joe Kent leaking to Tucker? Are they connected in some way? Perhaps? Because that would be alarming if Tucker was meeting with Trump and receiving intel from Joe Kent, and then he was also in touch with the Iranian government. At the minimum, that does warrant a little bit of scrutiny. I do think actually that that might constitute some kind of an issue. And maybe the purpose of this media blitz was to get ahead of it. This is just speculation. This is just a theory. I'm not saying that's the case. And I'm not saying I believe the doj. I'm not saying that I believe that Tucker and Kent are criminals. I don't know what charges are being brought or if charges are being brought. I don't know whether they're credible or not. It could be a complete hoax or a witch hunt. Maybe it's not even real. But it is really interesting and it could go either way. You could say either Tucker and Joe Kent are being punished by the deep state because they're opposing the war. You could say, and I think that's plausible too, you could say that Tucker, who is a staunch opponent of the war and lobbied Trump to stop, and Joe Kent, who resigned his post and was a conscientious objector, you could say the two of them are being punished by the deep state, which has gone authoritarian because they're at war and they are trying to crack down on anti war dissent. Plausible. It could also be said the other way that Tucker and Joe Kent got caught with their hands in the cookie jar and they got tipped off that charges were being brought and maybe they were gonna go to jail and get in some trouble. And so how do we get outta this problem? Well, they got ahead of it by becoming martyrs and they go on Twitter and say, well, we're about to be charged. We're just doing free speech. We're just against the war and this and that. It, it, that could be the case also. And so it is interesting that Tucker came out this timeline on Saturday and said, I'm about to be charged under fara. Tuesday, Joe Kent says, or rather it's reported, I think in the New York Post. It says the FBI is about to charge Joe Kent for leaking classified intel. It's hard to tell because we are in the fog of war, but that is a little bit mysterious. And so that might be one thing that is going on. Clearly something is up there. And either there's a rogue element in the administration that wants them to go to jail for opposing the conflict, or they are foreign operatives, which wouldn't be hard for me to believe because Tucker does roll with all the foreign governments. Okay, who is prosecuting the war in Iran? Well, it is Israel. But you know who else advocated for it? Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, the Qataris. Less so, the Qataris. And Tucker is in bed with all those foreign governments. Tucker said that in his opinion, the wisest man in the world is Muhammad bin Zayed, the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates or the president of the uae. Very interesting. And he's been in Saudi Arabia. He interviewed with Piers Morgan there, goes there all the time, talks to the royal family there. And so it is interesting that Tucker does seem to be involved on a higher level. We're not talking journalism because he didn't interview these people in front of the camera. He's having private closed door meetings, lobbying them behind the camera, off camera maybe there's no cameras even in the room. That's not the work of a journalist, that's the work of a lobbyist, a spy, some sort of operative. So I could easily believe that's going on too. Now, the other side, what might else, what might be the other explanation for what is happening with Joe, Ken and Tucker? I think that's also very obvious. So the same day on Saturday that Tucker said he's under CIA investigation, the first member of the Trump government came out and criticized the war. And that person was David Sacks. David Sacks is the aizar in the White House. So he's a member of the Trump government. For those that don't know, David Sachs has been a close personal friend of Peter Thiel since 1992, since they went to Stanford Law School together. And I believe Tucker Carlson met both of them and in Washington D.C. in 1992. So Tucker has known Peter Thiel as long as David Sachs has. David Sachs is tight with Peter Thiel. They co founded PayPal together. Sacks is part of the PayPal mafia. And David Sachs is also a close confidant of J.D. vance. So is Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson's son buckley works for J.D. vance in his press office. And Tucker had J.D. vance on his Fox News show something like 45 times. Joe Kent when he ran for Congress in 2022 got money from Peter Thiel when he was running for Congress in Washington State. He got the maximum individual contribution from Peter Thiel and maybe other money as well. We're not really sure about that. Tucker also promoted Joe Kent on his Fox News show just as he did with J.D. vance. So there's like this nexus there and there's a lot of other connections. I went into great detail about this on my Telegram channel. Now you see the gang is all back together this weekend where David Sacks is against the war. Tucker's under investigation. Joe Kent leaves the admin and interviews with Tucker and Joe, Ken and David Sacks are the only ones against the war. In the admin and Tucker interviews Kent and Tucker is obviously outspoken against the war. All three of these people, what do they have in common? They all have deep ties to J.D. vance, direct and indirect personal and political connections to J.D. vance. And as I said last night, and this is really the most important thing to understand, J.D. vance is trying to save his prospects in 2028. So is the cotery of advisors, but that have staked their future and their career on a Vance administration. It looks like this is a desperate last ditch effort to save Vance by trying to push Trump in the opposite direction. You're also seeing reports in the Daily Beast and in Axios about how Trump is about to break with Netanyahu. Certain unnamed White House aides are saying that Trump is about to have a big split with Netanyahu because Netanyahu wants the war to go on long and Trump wants to end the war quickly. I have a hunch that Trump is gonna come out and deny those claims. I have a hunch that somebody's gonna come out and deny that. I have a feeling that's a planted story. And I have a feeling that there is a concerted effort to try to push Trump away from this. Even among, by the way, many of the people in the Bronze Age pervert Peter Thiel network. Their sole and exclusive mission is to make Vance the president. And when the US and Israel went to war in Iran, the many of the teal backed network on social media they said this is a terrible mistake. We should have never went to war in Iran because they know, like Tucker knows, like David Sachs knows, like Joe Kent knows, that the person who is most affected by a catastrophic war with Iran, it's not Even Trump, it's J.D. vance because he is watching in real time his chances of becoming the nominee and then the president dwindle in real time with each passing day that the war goes on. So I see this Joe Kent thing, this is an op. I smell a big op. And everybody is falling for it because the rhetoric is good. The rhetoric is mostly good. It's mostly fine. Like it sound. You have Joe Kent saying the Jews are bringing us to war in Iran like they did in Iraq. Na, that's good stuff. Okay, that's fine. I'm glad he's saying it. I'm glad somebody's saying it. I'm glad they're against the war. But I will also say that I don't trust these people at all. I don't trust Joe Kent, I don't trust Tucker Carlson, I don't trust any of them. And I find it highly suspicious that Joe Kent, as recently as 2024, was saying that we should give Israel foreign aid and we should bomb Iran's nukes and Missile capabilities. And he was saying that recently, and he has been saying it consistently for years. He's also in the CIA. They all are. Tucker's dad is in the CIA. Joe Ken is in the CIA. Peter Thiel is a CIA contractor. J.D. vance was a Marine, then got recruited out of Yale Law School, which is a notorious recruiting ground for the CIA, and then worked for Peter Thiel regardless. So I see a lot of intelligence connections there. They're all part of a network. They're all boosting Vance for some reason. And I don't wanna be taken for a ride. So I don't trust any of these people. And I find the whole thing very suspicious. So people say, well, he sounds good. He's saying all the right stuff. I'm watching this interview. This interview is a performance. The interview is a performance. Tucker and Joe Kent. It's not a real conversation. It is. It is staged. It is a play. They're putting on a play for you. And they're talking to each other for an audience like they're dumber than they are. They're dumbing it down. They're. They're taking it very slowly. And I think that's why. I think that is really what is going on here. And there might be some kind of foreign intelligence connection with Russia, with Iran, maybe more on that later on a future show. But I did just wanna say, and clarify at the outset, because it is so important. This is the big thing that is happening in our space in the past 24 hours. I am highly, highly skeptical of all that. Uh, but anyway, I do wanna move on. I wanna get into the actual operations in the war. And the big story tonight is how the war is now escalating. And the situation is this. As we have talked about, we are halfway through the third week in the war. We expected. Well, I don't even know what we expected. You can't even really use that word. Perhaps the president alone expected that this would be a quick and easy war. Pound Iran very hard for a few days, decapitate the leadership and a crippled and wounded Iranian regime with will very quickly wave the white flag and sue for peace, whereupon the Trump administration can impose conditions on Iran's nuclear program. That was the idea. As you know, things did not go according to Trump's plan. The Iranian regime survived. The Iranian regime maintains its capability to launch drones and ballistic missiles, and they have used that capability to attack the Persian Gulf nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital choke point for oil, natural gas, and fertilizer, which goes out into the Indian Ocean and to attack and degrade US Radar early warning systems and to attack the State of Israel. And so the war has settled into a second phase. You can say if the first phase was the US Israel assault bombing runs thousands of times in the first 12, 24 hours, bombing regime targets, decapitation strikes, bombing their navy, their military hardware and infrastructure, logistics, supply chains, things like that. Now, the war settled into a second phase where it has become an attritional war, and it has become a war of economics. The United States and Israel are using their air and sea power to bomb Iran all the time and continues to decimate its leadership, continues to find and destroy its missile production and missile launch capabilities. But as long as Iran remains intact, and as long as they're able to launch drones and missiles, then they are able to shut down shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which chokes the the global energy supply, hurting the global economy. And they're able to increase the pressure on the Gulf nations by hurting their real estate, tourism and other industries, which they're trying to pivot towards. So this is the second phase. This is the grinding stalemate. This is the status quo, attritional war that the conflict has settled into, as we've talked about. And so the question facing the Trump administration is how to break the stalemate. It can't go on forever. The longer that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, there is going to be a lot of damage to the global economy. It might even trigger a global recession. Energy becomes scarce, oil prices increase, and that increases the price of everything. Fertilizer supply is constrained. That makes costs for farmers go up, that makes food more expensive. So we are facing higher inflation. There was an expectation the Federal Reserve, for example, would cut interest rates today. They're not able to do that because actually, mortgages are going up, prices are going up, inflation appears to be ticking higher in anticipation. The economy is pricing in the long term, risks to the oil supply because of the conflict. So Trump is looking for a way out here. He's looking to break the stalemate. And there's, as we've talked about, a couple of ways to do this. Either we have a truce and a ceasefire, and that allows the Strait of Hormuz to open up and it relieves the economic pressure on the United States and the world. So that's one way to break the stalemate, is effectively a strategic retreat and withdrawal. The other way is we have to actually win. We have to force the Strait of Hormuz open. But this is a very complicated endeavor because the way that Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz is now mostly with drones. Not even ballistic missiles, but with suicide drones. Iran has millions of them, millions of them. They're cheap, they're small, they're easy to produce, they're highly mobile. They can be launched from anywhere. And Iran is making more of them all the time. And so how do you prevent Iran from closing the straight? Well, you have to make it so that they cannot launch any drones. How do you prevent them from launching any drones? It is impossible. You cannot bomb all their drones, drone production, you cannot bomb all, all the places where they can launch drones. You can't kill the personnel that are launching them. The only way to stop Iran from closing the Strait, it appears, is to topple the government. And for a new government to come into place that orders the military to stand down, that seems to be the only way. And the only way to topple the government is to invade. It has been reported that the IRGC is actually seven links in the chain of command deep, meaning that prior to the conflict, the highest ranking IRGC officials, they prepared seven layers of succession. They have a second person, third person, fourth, fifth, second, sixth, seventh person lined up in the event that they are assassinated, and then the next guy and the third guy and the fourth guy. So you can't kill everybody with air power and sea power. You can't destroy ever every place where they're storing, launching and making drones. The only way to win is to topple the government. And you have to do that with a ground invasion, which obviously is off the table. So Trump is looking for a third way to break the stalemate. How do we win with, without retreating, without escalating. And what he is trying to do is find alternative ways to force Iran to comply. Why is this so difficult? Because right now we're bombing Iran thousands of times and killing all their leaders and destroying all their weapons. So you might say, what else can we even do? What else can be done to a nation? We're dropping tons of bombs on them, we're dropping 5,000 pound bombs, maybe bunker buster bombs on them. We're literally dropping the biggest bombs thousands of times, everywhere, all day, every day, for weeks, and killing the leadership. So Trump is looking for a creative way to increase pressure without escalating, to avoid retreating. How do you do that? Well, as we've discussed, there's one thing that's been off limits. They're blowing up the Navy, they're blowing up the Missiles, they're blowing up the regime. The one thing that the United States has left untouched is Iran's energy infrastructure. As you know, Iran is a petro state, meaning they rely on the export of oil and gas for most of their government revenue. And so if you destroy that industry which is not easily repaired or rebuilt, then you cripple Iran's economy, but you cripple it for years. So that's obviously, that is the one thing that we haven't hit yet. We've hit the military, we've hit the regime, we've destroyed their weapons, we've destroyed the headquarters, the airports, air bases, everything short of the energy. Because even though destroying the energy would cripple Iran's economy and it would take years for them to repair, so, you know, be a problem for the successor regime. We have not hit it for two reasons. If the Trump administration bombs Iran's energy, then Iran will retaliate and bomb Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and the Emirates energy. They will bomb it. The Houthis will bomb it, maybe the Iraqis, maybe, maybe Hezbollah will bomb it. It will be unavoidable. And so what we do to Iran will be visited upon the Gulf and that will be catastrophic because in the end all this energy infrastructure will be destroyed and the global supply of energy will be chronically restrained, chronically, I should say constricted. So you have a fifth or a third of the world's oil, depending on how you measure it, whether it's by volume of oil that moves through a sea lane or volume of oil overall, you have a fifth of the world's oil that moves through the Strait of Hormuz, which is going to be probably for 10 years taken offline, as well as liquefied natural gas, of which Qatar makes a lot of it. And that goes to Asian countries, but also Europe is reliant on it. And of course the global supply determines the price. So it affects everybody. If you have an all out energy war in the Persian Gulf, you have a chronic energy shortage in the whole world. And like I said, because the infrastructure is destroyed, infrastructure takes a long time to rebuild, to rebuild the refi refinery, a pipeline, this takes years and it takes tons of investment. And the question is, who then is going to invest? This is the same problem in Venezuela. We can't get Venezuela to pump more oil very quickly because one takes a long time, Two, who's gonna put up the money with all the geopolitical risk involved, it's tenfold in the Middle east, it's gonna take years. Who's going to invest. Who's gonna put up the billions of dollars to do this? So if we attack Iran's energy, then they retaliate. In the end, all the energy infrastructure is destroyed. This permanently constrains the global energy supply, which means that energy is permanently high. That, that means inflation is permanently high. And this is something the US Economy just cannot stand. We already have chronically high inflation, I believe it's been since 2022. The Federal Reserve has not hit its benchmark, its target of 2% inflation. And there's a lot of debate about why this is. It could be because of quantitative easing. It could be because of COVID era supply chain problems. There's, there's a lot of reasons people say for the inflation right now, but this is the last thing that we need. So this would be permanently a problem for the U. S and the global economy. So Trump doesn't want to go there. It's also a related problem. If we bomb Iran's energy infrastructure. Even if they don't retaliate, that still further constrains the energy supply in the short term. And that's exactly what happened today. And we'll get into this by bombing Iran's energy infrastructure, even in the short term, that constrains the global energy supply. Throughout the conflict, there has been oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz. It is Iranian oil, mostly going to China. If you take that offline, there's just gonna be even less oil in the world than there already was with the strait closed. And then you'll have the same problem in Iran having to repair that infrastructure. It will take a long time to bring that supply back to the global economy. And then even if you achieve regime change in the country, it will be tough for whatever regime comes next to rebuild if they don't have their energy sector intact, if they don't have that infrastructure still in place. So for these reasons, the United States doesn't wanna go there. But it seems like that is the linchpin. And this is why Trump has shifted tactics. And starting on last Friday. On Friday, Trump launched a major airstrike on Carg Island. Carg island is an island in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran. That is where 90% of Iran's oil exports move through. Iran gets the oil on the coastline and in the Persian Gulf, refines it on the Iranian mainline mainland, and then ships it out to the island via pipeline and where it gets picked up by tankers and then taken out of the Persian Gulf and through the Strait of Hormuz. So this is the hub for virtually all of Iran's oil. This is the critical center of Iran's energy sector. And Trump bombed it on Friday, but only the military targets. Now, on Friday, I speculated that maybe that was in preparation for a invasion, for a ground force moving in and seizing the island. And that way you get a little bit of both. You're able to take control of Iran's energy without destroying the infrastructure. And so you can deprive them of the revenue without actually setting back in a permanent way the global supply of energy by destroying the infrastructure, which would take years to rebuild. That being said, an invasion of the island would be extremely difficult because it is within range of Iran's drones and missiles. So any amphibious assault on the island would surely be repelled by an Iranian drone and missile salvo launched at the Marines trying to land there. So I said on Friday, perhaps this is a gesture that indicates to Iran that if they don't open up the Strait of Hormuz, then the United States might attack the energy infrastructure on Carg Island. So the attack, by bombing the military infrastructure, but not the economic energy infrastructure, Trump is threatening Iran and saying, we will do it. Maybe this is too close to come for comfort for you. If we're gonna bomb the military infrastructure on the island, maybe the next strike is, is the energy. And the Iranians definitely don't want that to happen. So maybe that makes them uncomfortable. Maybe that makes them more willing to negotiate. Now, over the weekend, Trump made a pitch to the global economy. He made a pitch to the world community and said, look, everybody is affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and some more acutely than others. And what he's talking about there is that most of the Persian Gulf oil and gas is. Doesn't actually go to the United States or Europe. Most of it actually goes to Asia. It goes to India, China, South Korea, Japan. Most of it goes to the Indo Pacific region. And so Trump says over the weekend, look, there is a global energy crisis. It is bleeding the United States. There's a lot of problems in the long term if we don't open up the strait. And so Trump tries to expand this to other stakeholders and says, why should we alone bear the burden of solving this problem and reopening the strait? Asia will be affected the most. They won't get the oil and gas from the Persian Gulf. So maybe they should actually help us open up the strait. They should lend their navy and their military for an allied coalition joint operation to open up the Strait. He also called on NATO and said, hey, we supported your war in Ukraine. Now it's your turn to help us in the straight. And by the way, this is humiliating. This is embarrassing. Why are the Asian and European countries not gonna help us? Well, they didn't start the war. So yes, Asia is worried about the constrained energy supply and yes, Europe is worried about the effect on the price of LNG and the price of crude oil. At the same time, Europe is fighting a war against Russia, and Asia doesn't wanna join a fight that really has nothing to do with them at all. This is not India's fight. It's not Japan or South. That has nothing to do with them. So Trump is effectively begging all of our allies to help us finish a war and that he started. So what happened to this? America alone, we have all the cards. We're the boss. We're the only country in the world. We're the king of the world. Trump went in, thought he could win quickly and easily. Found out the hard way it wasn't gonna go down that way. Now he's in the position of literally begging objectively inferior, weaker militaries to come to our aid and assist us, begging the, the United Kingdom, begging Germany, Japan, South Korea to come and help. As we talked about on Monday over the weekend, all the countries rejected this appeal. First Japan, then Australia, South Korea, then all the European countries, France, Germany, Italy, the uk, the European Union, Poland, they all came out and said, this is not our war. That's not in the cards for us. We've ruled that out. You started it, you finish it. So Trump then says on Monday, you know what? We don't need you. Which is the best. I mean, that, that really encapsulates everything about this administration and about this whole conflict. So Friday he says, we're gonna have a great coalition, like, it's a done deal. We're gonna open up the straight, everyone should and must help us. Everybody rejects him publicly and outright and forcefully. So then he's forced earlier in the week to say, well, who needs you anyway? We don't need your help. We'll do it ourselves. And we'll just remember that. Truly pathetic. So now. So today is Wednesday. This is why the timeline is so important here on Wednesday. Today, Israel launches a major strike on Iran's gas gas fields, the Southern Parse gas field. Iran immediately retaliates and they bomb cutter's gas, the Emirati's gas, and Saudi Aramco their oil refineries. And what happens? The price of oil surges to $120 a barrel. It had stabilized, I said this, I think yesterday or on Monday, the, the price of oil had stabilized it around about ninety, a hundred dollars a barrel. This is after it spiked past a hundred dollars, not last weekend, but the weekend before that. Today, oil exploded, even though Trump is trying to contain that, trying to contain the price shock by opening up these strategic oil reserves, changing some regulations allowing Venezuela to export more oil, in spite of all of his efforts to limit the effects of the supply shock. Now the oil has exploded because the war has entered now a third phase where we, the US And Israel coalition, are openly targeting Iran's energy infrastructure and they are responding in kind. Now, this is a story from the Wall Street Journal about the strike that says, quote, israel struck the giant South Pars gas field that Iran shares with Qatar, by far the largest in the world. Iran quickly retaliated with an attack on a major gas hub in Qatar just across the Gulf, and a missile barrage fired at the Saudi capital, Riyadh, with debris landing near a refinery. Israel and Iran had already hit energy facilities throughout the nearly three week war. But Wednesday's attacks struck some of the world's most important hubs and and raised the prospect of tit for tat volleys against oil and gas facilities. President Trump approved of the strike to pressure Iran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz. The official said Trump believes Tehran received the message and now wants to refrain from further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. Days earlier, Trump considered whether attacking Iranian energy sites could be part of an escalatory campaign against Iran, hitting one target and gauging Iran's reaction. If Iran didn't cede to US Demands, there would be more bombings of energy targets. Qatar condemned the attack as a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to its national security. Benchmark Brent oil futures shot up to close to $110 a barrel and European gas prices surged 6%. In the hours following the news, Arab governments were furious about Israel's attack and the US Failure to head it off. So this is part of a strategy. Trump bombed Carg island on Friday. Not the energy infrastructure, but just the military assets. And the message was unmistakable. He was saying, if Iran doesn't open up the strait, then we'll target your energy. In the meantime, he made his plea to the world, help us militarily take the straight. They refused. So Trump moved in with Israel to then escalate it. And he went from Carg island military assets to Iran's gas field in the Persian Gulf, anticipating then that Iran would bomb Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Emirates. Now, why did Trump allow this to happen? Well, first of all, he knows that the only way to pride the Strait of Hormuz open without regime change or a ceasefire is that he's gonna need to make it hurt more for Iran. The only way to do that is to hit their energy. And he needs them to be sure that he's serious. He needs them to know that he will actually cross that line. So this was the strategy. He hit Carg island, see what they do. They did nothing. Hit one of their oil and gas hubs, see what they do. If they do nothing, hit another one until they open up the Strait of Hormuz. Now, why did he wait until today to do this? Well, what he said over the weekend is if Japan and South Korea and India and China, if they are the ones that are actually getting the Iranian oil and gas exports, then they should help us. If they won't help us, then we will hurt Iran's oil and gas industry, because who will that affect the most? That will actually affect, first and foremost, the countries that actually get the oil and gas from Iran, which is China, India, less so Japan, South Korea. So Trump said, if you don't help us, well, we will be forced to take matters into our own hand and escalate. We will start an energy war that will hurt you the most. If we bomb Iran's oil and gas and then they bomb Qatar, the Saudis, and the Emirates, who is going to be without oil and gas? Who's actually going to face the most acute energy shock? It's going to be the Pacific countries and European countries, which are now dependent on lng. They. They will feel the price shock as well. We are good. We're a net exporter of energy. Now, there's some complications. We still import a lot of energy for reasons having to do with our energy infrastructure, but we're not gonna feel it as much as the Europeans and definitely not as much as the Asians. So Trump, by bombing Iran's energy, knowing they will retaliate against the Gulf, that is his way of punishing the. The allies that did not assist. He said, okay, if you won't help us open up the Strait, we'll have to figure out our own way. And that involves hurting your economies. That involves hurting everybody involved. Now, there's a big question about who actually authorized the strike, because, as I said, this is an Israel strike. Israel in the early phases of the war targeted Iran's energy infrastructure. And. And the United States told them don't do that again. If you attack their energy in the future, tell us in advance. So when Israel bombed Iran's gas fields today, it was assumed that they had told the United States and gotten their approval. And it was reported earlier in the day that the Trump administration approved the strike. But all of that changed in the evening. Trump put out a statement on Truth Social and said, actually the United States didn't know. He said, we didn't know and we want the energy warfare to stop and that if Iran keeps bombing Qatar, then we will retaliate, but we're not going to attack Iran's energy any further. This is a statement on Truth Social. This is Trump. He said, quote, israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle east, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as the South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the hole has been hit. The US Knew nothing about this particular attack and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape or form involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the attack and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG gas facility. No more attacks will be made by Israel pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case Qatar, in which instance the US with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars gas field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications it will have on the future of Iran. But if Cutter's LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So Israel bombs Iran's energy after Trump told them two weeks ago, don't do that again. And if you're planning on it, get our approval first. It was reported at this afternoon that Trump gave Israel permission. Now Trump denies it and Trump is telling Iran, look, you didn't know, but we didn't give permission. And so if you bomb Cutter, we'll grant that that was a mistake on your part. Trump says Israel will not attack again. But if you attack Cutter again, if this, in other words, becomes an energy war, if you've called my bluff, in other words, then we will go in, the United States will go in and we will Completely bomb your energy infrastructure. Now what are we doing? So what is going on here? First they say Trump knew about it, now he says he didn't know about it. Two weeks ago, Israel bombed Iran, and we told them, don't do it again. Now they do it again. And we say, well, we had no idea. And what this looks like to me is that Trump obviously approved the strike. So he's just lying here. I think. He's obviously lying. And like I said, I think this was the strategy all along. Hit Carg island, wait and see. Our allies didn't help us. Iran didn't open up the straight. So we gave Israel permission to launch a limited strike on the gas field. Wait and see. What will Iran do? Well, Iran maintains the ability to retaliate. Even though the ballistic missile launches are decreasing, the drone strikes are increasing. And now there's hundreds of drones being launched every day at all these countries at the Persian Gulf, at tankers, speedboats are intercepting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. So Iran retaliates quickly. And Qatar is one of the world's biggest hubs for lng. As far as LNG is concerned, it's really just cutter. It's not so much Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the Emirates, Kuwait, it's really just cutter. And LNG is in very short supply. It's a very hot commodity. LNG is how Europe has replaced Russian natural gas, which used to flow from the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. And so now they're dependent on LNG. Japan needs LNG. China, India, they need LNG. And so if this becomes an energy war, if we're trying to put pressure on Iran through energy, they're going to give it back in full, and they're really going to hurt the Persian Gulf, and that's going to hurt everybody. Because like I said, that is going to limit the global supply of energy indefinitely. Oil and gas for Asia. And then that supply shock will affect everybody. Prices are going to go up, fuel and energy costs will go up, and the price of everything will then go up. And if the price of energy goes up, well, you can forget about AI, which is dependent on compute, or compute, I don't know how to pronounce compute, I guess, which is the ability of computers to do AI. And our whole economy is growing through data centers and AI. In other words, there's this contagion effect. This is gonna spiral out of control very quickly. So Trump is looking for a way to break the stalemate, out of desperation, launches this energy war. He's Gonna hit the one thing that we have not attacked, thinking that Iran will buckle. But Iran called our bluff and said, if you hit the southern Pars gas field, well, fine, we'll hit Qatar. Now Trump says, whoa, whoa, whoa, we didn't authorize the strike. We promised we won't do any more energy warfare, so you better not do any either. Cuz if you do well, then we'll retaliate. So what are we doing? What is the strategy? What it looks like to me, Trump authorized the strike. Iran did not buckle. They retaliated harder. This whole thing is about to spiral out of control because Iran called our bluff and now Trump is trying to get in front of it. That's what that looks like to me. So yet again, we have no plan. It's the same story over and over. We're gonna bomb Iran. Oh, they closed the Strait of Hormuz. We didn't anticipate that. Okay, well, we're going to attack their energy facilities. Oh, they responded in kind. We didn't anticipate that. We can't have it go that far. So this leads me to my next point here. Operationally in the war now, Trump is talking about reinforcing the ground forces in the Persian Gulf with thousands of soldiers. Simultaneously, the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion to prosecute the war. And these are those stories. This is about the ground forces. It says, quote, the Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of US Troops to reinforce its operation in the Middle east as the US Military prepares for possible next steps in its campaign against Iran. The deployments could provide Trump with additional options as he weighs expanding US Operations with the Iran war well into its third week. Those options include securing a safe passage for oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and a mission that would be accomplished primarily through air and naval forces. But securing the Straight could also mean deploying troops to the shoreline of Iran. The Trump administration has also discussed options to send ground forces to Carg island, the hub for 90% of Iran's oil exports. Iran has the ability to reach the island with missiles and drones. Trump administration officials have also discussed the possibility of deploying US Forces to secure Iran stocks of highly enriched uranium. The sources mentioned did not believe a deployment of ground forces anywhere was imminent, but declined to discuss specifics of U.S. operational planning. So they have 5,000 U.S. marines on three amphibious assault vessels headed to the Persian Gulf to do what? Nobody knows. The administration is talking about deploying thousands of additional ground forces. Already got 50,000 US personnel in the region. And they say that Trump is hell bent on forcing the straight open. How do you do that? Well, they say they're gonna use air power, sea power, and yes, they're going to invade Iran's coastline. They're going to invade the coast near the Strait of Hormuz and on the Persian Gulf to accomplish what? I imagine to prevent drones and missiles from being fired there and push back the radius of drones and missiles from being launched. But of course, that shoreline will be within the radius of drones and missiles that are further inland in the country. How do you do that? Maybe establish a beachhead, set up some kind of missile defense radius on the beach head. I don't even know how that would work. This is now getting into advanced military planning, but maybe something like that. That seems to be the plan. Moreover, the Pentagon is seeking $200 billion for the war. This is that story. It says, quote, the Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war. That number would far surpass the cost of the administration's massive airstrike campaign to degrade, or rather to date, and instead seek to urgently increase production of critical weaponry expended as US And Israeli forces have struck thousands of targets over the past three weeks, according to three other people familiar with the matter. It remains unclear how much the White House will ultimately ask congressional lawmakers to approve. Some White House officials do not think the Pentagon's request has a realistic shot of being approved in Congress. The Pentagon has floated several different proposed funding requests over the past two weeks. By December, Congress had approved roughly $200 billion in spending for the war in Ukraine. The cost of the war in Iran has rapidly grown, exceeding $11 billion in the first week alone. Shortly after the joint US Israeli bombing campaign began last month, the Trump administration started preparing an additional funding request to help cover the costs. So it's very clear that they are planning something bigger here right now. The USS Gerald Ford has actually left the theater of conflict and gone to to a port in Greece because they need to make repairs. They say that the bathrooms exploded, the kitchen had a fire, and now the whole aircraft carrier is inoperable. So it's left the Red Sea and is going to Greece. Now, you only got one aircraft carrier there, the USS Abraham Lincoln. They say that Gerald Ford will be in repairs for at least a week. Then it's gonna come back. You got thousands of Marines headed there. You got additional thousands of ground forces being deployed. The war is costing $1.9 billion per day. They're preparing a $200 billion funding request. Clearly, they are preparing some kind of ground operation. It's just like the initial bombing campaign. First they're talking about it, discussing it, planting stories in the media. They're considering options, and then it becomes operations, then it becomes the news. So it's clear that Trump is not able to win with energy war. Not gonna happen. He's not able to open the strait by bombing the leadership. He actually wants to pry the strait open with some kind of invasion. He's gonna send it looks like a US Force to the strait or the island to try to take Iranian territory, establish a beachhead, and. And then at the minimum, even if they're not able to force the Iranian regime to completely capitulate, they can alleviate the economic pressure and collapse the regime as they're able to move the oil through the strait. That seems to be the strategy, and that's crazy. This is a country, as we've talked about, that has 90 million people. It's huge. It's all mountains. And they're all soldiers. They have a million soldiers. They have 200,000 IRGC, they got another 400,000 regular ground forces. They got hundreds of thousands of militiamen. And we're going to invade this country. We don't even have a military big enough. If we had every member of the US Military invade Iran, it probably wouldn't be enough. And we're going to go in there with a tiny ground force. There are some reports that say we will go in with the Gulf countries, with the Kurds, Israeli intelligence, US Air power, and there's gonna be some kind of tactical invasion. This is totally insane. How is this gonna work? And then what? They're gonna get on the shoreline and then they're gonna get hit with drones and missiles there, or they're gonna get ambushed? IEDs. How long are they gonna be there? Days. And what happens when we sustain heavy casualties? Let's say we try to invade on the shoreline. We're gonna retreat after a ton of Americans die. Now, they say that the Gulf countries, they want us to collapse the Iranian regime before we leave. They say now that Iran is bombing all of their cities and their energy and their airports. Now, the Gulf countries view Iran as an existential threat, and they want us to finish the job and collapse the regime before we leave. This is how you get drawn in when we say we're going to war with Iran. Nobody said Trump might make the judicious decision to launch a limited strike on Iran, consistent with our interests, but not outside of them, you know, aligned with Israel, but not totally ident. No, no. People said we would get drawn into a war, dragged into a war. What does that mean? What's the denotative meaning of those words? When we say dragged, when we say drawn, we mean that it is a gradual process where you have mission creep, where the goals keep changing, where one thing leads to another, and over time there is a pressure, that there is a narrowing of options and possibilities that ultimately leads to a full fledged war. That's what we're talking about. Nobody said the risk is that Trump might do, like I said, a limited tactical operation to achieve US Objectives. Only US Objectives. Not. No, no. We said we would be dragged gradually into a war and we would wake up one day and find ourselves inside of a conflict in that nobody wanted. We would find ourselves in a conflict far wider and far deeper and going on for far longer than anybody ever conceived of, that anybody ever wanted, that nobody voted for, which is what happened in Iraq and Syria and Libya and Yemen and everywhere. That was always the risk. Now, why do I say this? Because last year the people saw the bombing of Midnight Hammer and they said, see, we didn't go to war. We did one airstrike and then we left. Mission accomplished. Yeah, but see, Midnight Hammer made epic fury inevitable. And people said the same thing about killing Sulaimani. They said, killing Suleimani, that's a good thing. We're not. We're not anti war, we're not isolationist. That's not a war. We just killed one guy. I think I may have said that in 2020 when it happened, because I didn't understand the bigger picture back then. I think I was more agnostic about it back then. But now I see how one thing has led to another. This has been going on for decades. We have gradually, step by step, been drawn in. And the Israelis always tell us, well, it's just this now, it's just this other thing now, it's just this next thing. And with every strike, diplomacy becomes less likely to succeed. There is less trust between Tehran and Washington. There is less of a possibility for diplomacy to prevail. And then war becomes inevitable. And. And as time goes on, the goals of the war, the bounds of the war, these are always expanding. And that's precisely what happened here. Maybe we went in to degrade their missiles, but then they closed the Strait of Hormuz, so now we gotta open it back up. But guess what? Israel killed Iran's supreme leader. How are they going to make peace now? Israel went out of their way to kill all the leadership, which makes them hate us. It radicalizes them more. It rallies the people around the government. But what's more, they've gone out of their way to kill the members of the leadership that are more likely to make peace. So maybe we went in thinking we're going to neutralize an imminent threat, we're going to destroy some missiles and go home. Israel made it impossible for us to make peace because they killed the Supreme Leader, they killed the leadership, and specifically killed the leadership that was more moderate. And so now we're stuck. Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed. We killed their leader. They don't want to make a deal. They, in a way, can't make a deal. And we have to fight to the finish because we can't leave now. We got to prevent them from controlling the world's energy supply, which is what would happen if we left. We would cede that to them. And now that Iran is bombing the Gulf countries, this is an existential threat to them. If the Emirates is trying to build an economy on tourism, banking, technology, entertainment, how can they do that when they have drones bombing their malls and hotels and airports? They can't. So now they're all in on Iranian regime change and they're going to lobby us to be all in. And this is how it goes. Iran, Israel rather bombs Iran's energy, Iran bombs the Gulf's energy. Now the Gulf wants Iran to die. This is how you get sucked in. Then we're going to go in. If no other country will help us, if we are not able to withdraw, if Israel wants the fighting to go outside the US Commitment, well, then we need to open up the strait. How are we going to do it? Ground forces, what's going to happen? Many of them are going to die. What happens in a war where you have hundreds of dead Americans? Is that going to deescalate things or escalate things? Does that increase our commitment or lessen it? And. And as time goes on, we're only approaching the day when an Iranian sleeper cell goes off and kills a bunch of civilians. Just a matter of time. Just a matter of time. That's what it feels like before we are fully fledged in a ground war with Iran, that that's how all this is shaping up. That's what it looks like to me. I don't see a way out of it. And in the meantime, there might be a temporary ceasefire or truce. I doubt it, but it's possible. And what all the reports say is that they're gonna watch and wait for Iran society to collapse. You have a truce, have a ceasefire, and that is just going to be a deferring of the fighting. And in the meantime, Mossad and CIA are gonna prepare the ground force, the Kurds, anti government civilians, some kind of U.S. ground force. So even if we don't invade Iran tomorrow, the day is gonna come when Iran has regime change and US ground forces are gonna be a part of it. And it will be a gradual process. How we get sucked in to yet another war. It's what it is. So that's the current state of the conflict. We're gonna be monitoring the situation. Pay close attention, don't believe anything the President says. It's just unbelievable. He has no idea what he's doing. He's totally out to lunch. He's a hundred years old, every day contradicts himself. Uh, a Tomahawk missile kills the school girls at that school in Tehran. He says, well, that was an Iranian projectile. Oh, actually it might have been ours. This is a regime change war. Actually, we mostly won. The war's coming to an end quickly. Actually. We're in it for the long haul. We have a coalition, open the straight, uh, nevermind, we don't need them anyway. I approved Israel's strike. Actually, I had no idea. There's no plan here. There's no plan. He's making it up as he goes along. He's going off of his gut. He's not going off the intelligence, he's not listening to anybody. This is totally ad hoc, totally flying by the seat of his pants. And you know, maybe that wouldn't be a problem except that Israel has a plan, okay? Israel has a strategy. They have a plan. This is their Super Bowl. They've been waiting a long, long time for this. So Trump, Trump stumbled into this conflict, no idea what would happen. No plan, no contingency. And Netanyahu, the master, the maestro who's orchestrating the whole thing. He knows exactly how this has to go. The tempo, whether we're going fast or slow. He knows what he wants from this. He knows what he wants out of Trump. And Trump is just being fed propaganda through Fox News every day, which Israel controls. That's where we are. I told you so. I told you this is how it would be. People said, I can't believe it, I just can't see it, Nick. I saw it. I was playing dark and darker with some BAP guy. Some bap meathead. Some meathead. Some meathead bodybuilder sunning his balls. I Like bat book, Bat book been out how long? I. And I liked the guy, he was nice enough or whatever, but I was playing dark and darker with this bap chud sunning his balls, all that nonsense. And I said, listen, motherfucker, I said, Trump is bringing us to war with Iran. Do you support that? He goes, I don't know, dude, I just don't see that happening. I don't know, I just don't see that happening. Cuz you're not paying attention. You don't see it. Cuz you're not looking. Cuz your eyes aren't open because you are asleep. So how would you see it? People are soundly asleep, eyes closed, snoring and kicking and carrying on, dreaming about a golden age, dreaming about Pam Bondi and Marco Rubio dancing to Staying Alive. And they go, I don't know, I just can't see it. I can't see Trump going to war with Iran. That's because you're asleep. You're in the matrix. Your eyes are closed. My eyes are wide open and have been. And I'm awake. I'm an awakened goy. It was obvious it was going here. I told you it would be like this, but you didn't listen to me. You, if you, if you actually cared, you'd be here. Remember when? But it's true. And now we pay the price. I told. Of all the words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these. Nick Fuentes was right again. You called me a Democrat. Fuck you. People said. You know what people said? They said that I didn't get charged in January 6th because the Biden DOJ forced me to take a deal. And they said the contents of the deal were that I would have to support Democrats in politics to stay outta jail. So my handler from the Biden government is checking in on me. Did you support the Democrats today? Uh, yes, sir. Please don't arrest me. Because I was saying that Trump would bring us to war in Iran. Yeah, well, I guess you were wrong and I was right. You were wrong. I was right. You voted for this. F you. You fell for it again. I'm right about everything. Serves you right. You trusted a Jew. Trump is a Jew and you trusted him. Serves you right. Maga lol. Maga M a G A. How about lol? There won't be a lot of LOL or LMAO when you're M A gain because it's all M I g A. It's all make Israel great again. So people are going to be saying omg when we're dropping bombs on Iran. Crazy. Crazy. Anyway, we gotta move on. We gotta get into the super chats. But it's true. But I'm so mad. I'm s. To quote a friend, I am so mad right now. It's crazy. It's crazy that I told you. I told you exactly how it would go and you just didn't believe me. Do you hate me? Do you hate me? Why do you hate me? I'm right about everything. I am a genius and you didn't listen to me. Why? Why didn't you? You thought you were smarter than me. You're not. We think you're better than me. You're not. Why didn't you listen? I was correct. My arguments were sound. It's cuz you like Trump more than me. Well, you learned your lesson. I hope. This is a lesson that. Never doubt Nick Fuentes. That's the le. That's your lesson for the day. Anyway, I'm having a little fun with it, but I am being totally serious. I am being absolutely serious. We're joking around a little bit. It's funny though, isn't it? Not really. But in a way, it's like I seriously, I wake up every day and I'm like, wow, we're really doing this. We're. We're really in a war with Iran and Trump brought us here. If only someone told us this two years ago, we could have prevented it. But people said, nick, it's a lesser or two evils. We'll tweet about it after the election. Oh, okay. And what do you think? Susie Wiles is going to kick down the door of the Oval Office? Mr. President, you have to see this. Captive dreamer just tweeted. Did you really think that's how it works? We would have been better off with Kamala. What, did you just fall out of a coconut tree? You exist within the context of all in which you live and what came before you. Never forget that. Never forget that. Kamala tried to warn us. She said, we're not going back to slavery under the Jews. And I was like, dude, so true. But you thought we were gonna be pumping our fists saying, ymca, Everybody that did the dance must die now. You do realize that, right? Everyone that did the MAGA dance, you realize you must die now, right? No, I'm kidding. No violence. But imagine. I hope you feel dumb. I hope you feel like an idiot. Every person that did the dance, I hope you feel like the biggest dumb clown brown clown ever. Imagine you are like, go in a time machine back to 2024, okay? Whatever you were doing in 2024, go back in a time machine. You're. You're doing your little dance saying, this is me on my way to vote for a golden age. This is me on my way to vote for mass deportations. Listen up. You got a hundred days until Stephen Miller deports you. Now look at us. How does that make you feel? You were. You were dancing as you voted for this. You were dancing. You were doing that stupid dance to that stupid faggoty song while you voted to die for Israel and Iran. That is the wages of voting Republican. Never forget that. Now, this is the last thing I'm gonna say, and then we're gonna move on. Listen, and listen well. Don't blame it on Israeli intelligence. Don't blame it on the bad advisors. This is Trump's fault. Trump did this. Trump is the President of the United States. If the Israelis were threatening to kill him, that is what that is. Actually, you have to be a martyr, then. If the implication is Trump couldn't keep us out of the war because then they would kill him, well, that's actually what's involved when you run the country, when you're the President of the United States. Time to nut up, okay? That's your obligation. You're not okay with that. Don't run for president. Trump did this. Trump did this. He's not a woman, okay? You cannot absolve him of responsibility. Well, his bad advisors made him do it. Well, his bad advisors aren't the President of the United States. The bad advisors weren't on the ballot in November. Trump was. Don't tell me it was bad intelligence. Tulsi Gabbard is the dni. Joe Kent was the Director of National Intelligence or counterterrorism. They weren't on the ballot either. And they didn't authorize the strikes. Trump did. Voting for Trump got you this. You voted for this. Don't tell me I didn't vote for this. You. Yes, you did. Trump said Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Netanyahu gave a speech to a joint session of Congress. He hugged Trump in Mar A Lago. Yes, you did vote for this. You voted for this. And Trump is giving you this. Tucker told you to vote for this at the rnc. Kenneth Owens told you to vote for this on her show. They all did. Ian Carroll. Ian Carroll told you to vote for this. Cuz of RFK Jr and. And his best friend, Rabbi Schmooley. They all told you to vote for this. They were wrong. You were wrong. The Republicans did this. Listen and listen well. Don't let them trick you and make the same mistake again in 2026. Vote Republican, it will be different. Why would it be any different? Why would it be different? Vote in 28. We gotta salvage Vance. Why? Vance is the Vice President right now. He encouraged Trump to bomb Iran. He said to bomb Iran at the RNC in 2024. Why? Why would it be any different? That's the part they won't tell you. That's the limited hangout. Now this is not me saying, hey, the Democrats are not controlled by Israel. They are too. But here's the plan. In 2026, we need to shut this administration down. Who's gonna do it? Democrats. It's a midterm. Do you know what that means? Trump is not on the ballot. The House is. And a third of the Senate. If the Democrats gain control of the House, they will get oversight powers. What is oversight powers? Subpoena, deposition, compelling the release of documents. They can form subcommittees. And what they will do is they will investigate the Trump government. They will slow it down because they have a political incentive to do so. Republicans won't hold other Republicans accountable. It's a structural thing. They need money from the Republican committee. They need the Republican leadership to give them committee assignments and other forms of patronage. So the Democrats, because of political necessity, they, they will use oversight powers as a blunt weapon against the Trump administration. No, they're not based. No, they're not anti Israel. No, they're not any of those things. But because they're set against, structurally aligned against the gop, they will slow the administration down. If this administration's controlled by Jews in Israel doing all this harm, that's a good thing. That's why I'm telling people to vote Democrat this year. It's not cuz I'm under any illusions. I'm voting Democrat to be an obstruction and impediment to this administration from the executive branch of the government. Because the House will use its oversight. There's checks and balances to check the power of the executive branch and they will slow down this Israel occupied, out of control administration. Step two. In 2028, we need someone to run in the Democrat or Republican primary who is actually America First. I don't care which one. I'm not gonna vote for Gavin Newsom. I'm not gonna vote for J.D. vance. I'm not gonna vote for Josh Shapiro. I'm not gonna vote for Marco Rubio. 2028. We need to be prepared to say we will vote for anybody in a Democrat primary, in a Republican primary who will put America first. But nobody from this administration who has brought us to war in Iran, nobody who has taken AIPAC money or Adelson money, nobody who's taken J Street money, nobody who's taken Jewish money can even be in consideration. And that's what we're playing for. Do not be tricked and deceived into getting right back on the hamster wheel and being part of the machine. We gotta get out there and hold the line, whatever. That's the part they won't tell you. Cuz Tucker has a candidate. It'll be J.D. vance. Tucker might even run. And you know what he's gonna do if Tucker runs for office? He is gonna be a spoiler. You're gonna be excited about it, you're gonna love it. And you know what Tucker's gonna do? He's gonna. Ted Cruz will run also. Tucker is going to grill Ted Cruz on Israel. He's gonna grill Marco Rubio on Israel. And he will take all the blows, all the damage. He will be called an anti Semite. He will be the Israel critical candidate. But he'll never win. He'll drop out and he'll endorse J.D. vance. And that way J.D. vance doesn't have to get in the mud. He won't have to get his hands dirty. He won't have to take a position on Israel. He won't have to get into the scrum with the others. He won't have to get dirty and get ugly. Tucker will do that and bow out at least. This is my vision in 28. I don't think Tucker seriously thinks he's gonna be president. I don't think he even wants to be president. That's why they groomed J.D. that's why they groomed J.D. to be the guy. J.D. is still their guy. So when Tucker says well I might run either that's just sensationalism to get clicks, that's just a load of fucking garbage or if he is considering running it, it's some convoluted operation like that. Mark my words. You weren't. Come on, we weren't born yesterday so. And they're gonna try to prevent the emergence of a real emer America first candidate. Suck all the oxygen outta the room for a groiper, take all the blows from the Jewish lobby and then bow out and throw all that support to Vance. I think that's the op here, if there is one. So we have to be very shrewd. It all has to do with the elections. Yes, the elections do matter. If they didn't matter, they wouldn't put so much effort and money into media. People say, does voting even matter? Yeah, but it's how you use it. If voting didn't matter, why would they care about the media? They. They deeply care about the media. That's why Andrew Tate is in jail. Why is Andrew Tate in jail? Why does the UK want him dead? Because he was too influential. Why was that a problem? Because if you're too influential, you can get people to do things, vote, demonstrate, whatever. Same goes for Alex Jones. Why did they target Alex Jones? Massive audience. Massive audience. Why would they care about the opinion of the masses if. If the masses could do nothing? So. And anyway, it doesn't all come down to voting. In the meantime, you should still be leveling up and doing your part. But if we're going to engage in the political system, let's be wise about it, let's be smart, let's not be dumb and just vote Republican, which is what Tucker told us to do. I. I've yet to see a reckoning with that. Tucker told us to vote for Trump. He still doesn't critique Trump. Well, he wants to lobby Trump in the future. Oh, okay. Yeah, cuz that's super effective, right? Anyway, but that's that. We are gonna move on. Let's take a look at our super chats. We'll see what you guys have to say about all this. Let me see. Okay, let's get set up here. This app is still broken. Still have half the super chats from yesterday on the screen, but it's fine.

Sent $25. I was reading a write up today on Twitter endorsed by Ted Cruz, which claims you Catholic integralists, Dugan, multipolarists and Carlson and co are trying to hollow out the evangelical base to spurn Israel. I know you dislike Dugan and Tucker, but what do you make of this new ploy to triangulate your agendas?
A
I don't think there's a ploy to try. I don't even know what that means when you say there's a ploy to triangulate our I don't even know what that fucking means. Ted Cruz tweeted something. I don't know what tweet that is, but certainly Tucker is trying to attack the evangelical base to break the political electoral support for Israel. And ostensibly I I'm not doing that with evangelicals. I'm doing that with like Zoomers. I don't think evangelicals particularly like me, so I don't know. That's kind of like a ham fisted pattern.

It's just me talking about politics. I always feel uncomfortable when I venture too out too far outside of that. That's just because I'm not like, I'm not a comedian like that.

It's like you guys couldn't even. You couldn't figure this stuff out if you had a million years to do it. It's so bad. I hope you see that now. I hope when you read the super chats you see that even if you watch the show every night, some people are just never going to be able to do this for themselves. You can know everything. I know you can. You know, you can watch everything I say on the show and you still will not be able to predict what is just around the corner. You still would not be able to fill in the blank because you are impaired. You are mentally impaired. You are mentally. No, that's obviously not what is happening here. Obviously.

We got three right out of the gate. Let's see. Can we get anything else? Are there other. Are there seven that might be a troll? I feel like there are not seven that start with K. Let's see. Saint Kitts and Nevis. That starts with an S. So that doesn't count. We got three. There's no other countries to start with a K. Let me think. Well, Korea. Does that count? South Korea. North Korea. That should count. What else? Kuwait. That's technically four. Kuwait. Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan. Kazakhstan. Tentatively. South Korea. North Korea. But let's. Let's just maybe Korea. We'll say four for now. Kuwait. You see, the problem with these ones is you. You either know the alphabetical all the countries, or you just have to think about every single country which makes it tr. And I don't know that there even are seven that start with a K. To be honest, I think it's a troll. So you're just trying to stump me, but I'm not going to give up super easily here. Let's see. No, I think that's it. That's got to be it, right?

B
Wang. QSA sent $20. Tucker Carlson's beef with Shapiro has to be a facade, right? The Jews know they're losing their audience, so why not use Tucker to criticize Israel in the war to try and run him in 2028?
A
You guys are idiots. You're never. You're never going to be able to. This is why you need leadership. This is the difference. This is why you need intellectuals or at least people with a brain. The Jews need Tucker toe. It's like you watch the show and yet so little understanding.

A
Thank you for the big super chat. Yeah, that movie looks dumb. That movie looks dumb from the creators of the Martian. Well, why would you advertise that? The Martian was terrible. The Martian was like the high watermark of those Reddit. I love science movies. Remember that one. The Martian with Matt Damon. And there's a scene where he is like, let's science this shit out. Let's do some science. The Martian. Tell me if I'm wrong. That was like the high water mark. The epitome of. I fucking love science. R Slash. I fucking love science. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is my hero. Who's the Jewish one? Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan was a martyr for reason. You know, like, Seth McFarland is a huge Carl Sagan Glazer.

It's like, okay, sure. Sure thing, pal. That. Remember that whole. I love Rick and Morty. It's my favorite show. I'm so glad that subculture died. That was so insufferable. All my friends in high school were like that. All my friends in high school were like that. So anyway, the Ryan Gosling movie, It's made by the creators of the Martian. I'm like, why would you tell people that? Why would you tell people you made the Martian? That movie sucked. Remember all that stuff? People watch the Big Bang Theory. That had, like, a moment that was like a real cultural moment. I like nerds. Nerds. Everybody was into superheroes. Everybody was going to comic book stores wearing superhero T shirts, man. But that was. That was my. That was the texture of life growing up from, like, let's say 2009 to 2014, 2015. If you're. If you're one of these, like, cuspers like me, you're out. You're like a zillennial. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm talking about, man. There's something different. It was better. It was a better time. You kids wouldn't understand. So much millennial optimism. So much stomp, clap, hope, core, keep calm and carry on. People were growing ironic mustaches and wearing fedoras. People. People strung up Christmas lights in their backyard and they started playing the guitar. They were dancing like nobody was watching. And they were stomping and clapping and banging a drum. And they brought back. What was that band from the 90s that everybody listened to again. Now I'm talking about. It was. What was it? Not I. Good. Not of Monsters and Men. You know what I'm talking about. Who was it? Someone said Green Day. Okay, so you're it. Blink182. You people are hopeless. And you people are hopeless. And you people are hopeless. No, no, no. These are all wrong answers. Come on. Who am I? Who am I thinking of? Who am I thinking of? Who am I thinking of? Who am I thinking of? Somebody. Tell me. I'm. I'm looking. There's. I'm not moving on until I get it. There's a right answer here, and I'm not moving. Neutral Milk Hotel. Got it. Got it. Yes, exactly. Exact. Shout out. We gotta shout the guy out. Greased up nationalist. That's it. And George Lopez 20 also said it. Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly. Neutral Milk Hotel. Neutral Milk Hotel was having their revival. What was that album? The Airplane over the Sea was having a revival and influenced the Lumineers and. And Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros and all that stuff. It was a different time. You don't know. People were watching Portlandia. Everything was in a sepia filter. People voted for Obama. They believed in hope and change. We were watching elders react. Elders react to the gay marriage Supreme Court decision. It was. Glee was on tv. It was a different time, you guys. It was a different time. The Big Bang Theory won every Emmy and people were watching superhero movies and getting into comic books. You guys wouldn't understand. It was millennial optimism. Pe. White hipsters in Brooklyn were happy. They were wearing ironic hats and mustaches and funny glasses. Now. Now everything is so disgusting. Now everything is disgusting and filth. Anyway, so sorry. Had to have a little nostalgia moment there. The Martian. Remember the Martian. Let's science this out. Oh, man. To be. To be a kid again.

Let's say America would like to not have to lick balls in the Middle east in order to meet her energy needs going forward.

Keith woods wrote a little tweet on how the millennial hipster exposed brick urban burger joint air was the last modern iteration of a uniquely white culture. And I came to a lot more.
A
Yeah, I feel like he stole that from me, but I'm not sure. I can't prove it. Yeah, he said it was the last. He. What did he say? He said it's the last stand of implicit white identity. Which is funny because he ripped that from Richard Spencer, his hero and idol. He stole that. Keith kind of was aping his hero, idol, mentor, leader Richard Spencer, because Richard Spencer, I believe the quote goes something like, homosexuality is the last stand of implicit white identity. That's a Richard Spencer quote. Spencer said. And I quote, homosexuality may be the last stand of implicit white identity. And Keith woods aping his life coach, leader, mentor, you know, advisor, hero Keith Wood said, actually it's the stomp clap exposed brick millennial hipster culture, which is the last stand of white identity. So it's an interesting dialectic that's forming between those two. We're watching that space. I'm just teasing, but you know we love Keith on the show.

America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes Repost
Host: Nicholas J. Fuentes (A)
Episode: IRAN WAR DAY 19: Israel Strikes IRANIAN OIL, Iran RETALIATES | America First Ep. 1660
Date: March 19, 2026
On Day 19 of the Iran war, Nick Fuentes delivers his characteristically unfiltered analysis of the new and dangerous phase in the conflict: direct attacks on energy infrastructure by Israel and the consequential retaliation from Iran. The episode covers the operational details of these strikes, political intrigue within the Trump administration, the chaos of coalition politics, disputes over who authorized escalations, and the broader implications for American energy security, global economics, and the future of the American Right.

"Big news out of the war today... we are now entering what they're calling a new phase in the war... This is an escalation, and we anticipated this." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [01:20]
Timestamps: 22:00–36:00
“Once again, it's like with everything else, we don't really know what's going on... Did we give the approval or not? It is currently disputed. I think Trump is just lying. Like everything else." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [13:59]
Timestamps: 36:00–50:00
"This is a war of attrition now. That's just how it is. And it's a war that we really can't win." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [16:31]
Timestamps: 50:00–1:15:00
“If you know something, then fucking say it. You're not an Internet sleuth like us... So, you know something or you should know something, or you had power to know something. If you know something then tell us, that's brave.” — Nicholas J. Fuentes [1:07:30]
"This is the big thing happening in our space in the past 24 hours. I am highly, highly skeptical of all that." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [1:13:20]

“The only way to stop Iran from closing the Strait, it appears, is to topple the government. And you have to do that with a ground invasion, which obviously is off the table.” — Nicholas J. Fuentes [1:22:50]

"So this would be permanently a problem for the U.S. and the global economy. So Trump doesn't want to go there." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [1:45:05]
"Now the oil has exploded because the war has entered now a third phase where we, the US and Israel coalition, are openly targeting Iran's energy infrastructure and they are responding in kind.” — Nicholas J. Fuentes [1:59:22]

“We said we would be dragged gradually into a war and we would wake up one day and find ourselves inside of a conflict in that nobody wanted.” — Nicholas J. Fuentes [3:04:19]
“There’s no plan here. He's making it up as he goes along... Trump stumbled into this conflict, no idea what would happen. No plan, no contingency. And Netanyahu, the maestro, knows exactly how this has to go.” — Nicholas J. Fuentes [3:26:30]

"In 2026, we need to shut this administration down. Who's gonna do it? Democrats. It's a midterm... they will investigate the Trump government... that's why I'm telling people to vote Democrat this year." — Nicholas J. Fuentes [3:34:00]
The final third mixes super chat commentary and tangents (from energy infrastructure to Neutral Milk Hotel, bemoaning millennial hipster optimism, and personal anecdotes), consistent with Fuentes’ irreverent, community-driven style.
Fuentes offers a scathing, inside-baseball take on the escalating Iran conflict, the failures of U.S. policy, and the duplicity or opportunism of Republican "dissenters." He argues that Americans were predictably drawn into a destructive, endless war by a mix of neocon-adjacent bureaucrats, a weak Trump, and calculated media ops. He challenges his listeners to reject tribal partisanship, hold the administration accountable (even if it means voting for Democrats), and prepare for realignment ahead of 2028. Throughout, he maintains his usual anti-interventionist, anti-establishment, and highly irreverent posture.
Listeners who did not catch the episode should come away understanding the stakes of recent developments in the Iran war, the chaos within U.S. foreign policy leadership, and Fuentes’ radical anti-GOP critique of the contemporary right and America’s deep entanglement in endless Mideast wars.
