Good evening, everybody. You are 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 on Thursday. We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into. Big show. We actually don't have a ton of news. Lot of drama. Always the drama, always something. But kind of another slow news day. It's fine. Our featured story tonight, we're gonna be talking all about the war in Iran, which might be about to start back up again. And we're finally gonna have to talk about it. I've been procrastinating the entire week, cuz I'm really just past it. I don't know if you could tell. We did about 60 days of Iran war coverage and honestly I'm just over it because we've been talking about this war realistically for like three years. It all goes back to October 7th, which was, I think, two and a half, little bit more than two and a half years ago. But tonight, our featured story, we're gonna talk about the ceasefire which may have just collapsed, might finally be over. And the way that I like to think about it is you have the official status of the war, which we have been keeping track of very closely. There are the facts on the ground, there is the diplomacy, public diplomacy that is being conducted via truth, social and press release and press pools and Trump statements. And the way that I like to think about it is that right now we are in the period of the indefinite ceasefire. So we just got out of the various deadlines for this major attack on Iran's civilian infrastructure that started, I believe, the week before Easter and took place basically throughout the entire month of April. And ever since, I believe it's two weeks ago, from Tuesday two days ago, we have been in the period of the indefinite ceasefire. And what you could call this is that we are clearly slowly backing away from the conflict. We've been in a ceasefire now for, I believe, a little bit over four weeks. And there is no timetable, no deadline, no ultimatum for military action to begin again. At least there's not a hard deadline. And so it seems that the Trump administration is trying to stall and buy time to soften the blow as we effectively withdraw from the conflict unilaterally without any kind of strategic or tactical victory or even any kind of change in the tempo or dynamic in the conflict. And so the big development today is that it seems there is new tension in the Persian Gulf, which is going to upset this process. Like I said, we are two weeks into the indefinite Ceasefire that is an extension off of the original two week ceasefire. And what happened today is that after the United States enforced its blockade against an Iranian tanker yesterday, so the US Navy fired on an Iranian commercial vessel yesterday. Today, Iranian speedboats tried to attack a US destroyer in the Persian Gulf. The US destroyers had to retreat from the Strait of Hormuz. And after their retreat, there was a major attack on some of the Iranian islands and on the Iranian coastline, for example, at Bandar Al Abbas, which is one of their port cities. So a sort of a tit for tat exchange. As you know, Iran has closed the Straight with their blockade. We have closed the Straight on the other side in the Indian Ocean with a blockade of our own. Iran has closed the Straight with the threat of using drones and missile strikes against shipping. And we have blockaded the Straight by threatening attacks on Iranian commercial shipping with our own navy. So an Iranian commercial vessel tried to go through the strait. We enforce the blockade by attacking it. Iran retaliated against our destroyers and then we counter attacked by bombing their mainland and their islands. So if you're following, it's a tit for tat. And then back again. Trump administration says this is not the end of the ceasefire, even though that is what Iran is saying. Iran is calling this a violation of the ceasefire agreement. And it's not clear whether that means we're going to resume hostilities. But Washington says that this was a love tap, which is kind of funny, that's how Trump characterized it today. He said that the strike on Iran's mainlands and islands were simply a love tap, and that the ceasefire is still in place. Now here's the big picture. The same day that all of this went down, Tehran and Washington reviewed a two page proposal to end the conflict. And, and the proposal says that the United States will end its blockade, Iran will open the Straight to commercial shipping, hostilities will end, and there will be a 30 day period where the US and Iran will try to work out a comprehensive agreement. Have we heard this before? I mean, th. This is kind of the stuff we've been talking about from the very beginning. And the sticking point in all of this, as it has been throughout this entire process over the past two and a half months, and, and going back to Rising lion and Midnight Hammer last year and even before that, the sticking point in this entire thing is the centrifuges, whether Iran will commit to zero enrichment or an enrichment moratorium. And so Iran wants to discuss that issue another day. And in the meantime, open up the Strait. And it seems that The United States is insistent that this be resolved. And at some point during this peace process, either now or during this 30 day period where there's going to be a ceasefire, because if the United States doesn't achieve that, then we will have achieved nothing. And if we achieve nothing in this conflict, then Iran reestablishes deterrence. There is a much higher cost of entry to reengage Iran in a war. And almost certainly we're kicking the can down the road where we're going to have to confront them all over again over exactly this issue. So there's clearly a push, there's an impulse in the United States. We want to get out of this, we want to walk away from it. We're slowly backing out, slowly backing away. At the same time, we just can't quit because this nuclear issue is unresolved and the Iranians are absolutely defiant. So we'll talk about all that. We're going to get into it. We're going. We're also going to talk about the tariff ruling, if we have time. Man, it just gets better and better. So you might remember that last year the Trump administration imposed tariffs on every country in the world almost a year ago to the day. Liberation Day, I believe, was April 2, 2025. Trump announced basically a global minimum average tariff of about 10, 15% on every country in the whole world. And he did this under this emergency provision that as of February has been overruled by the Supreme Court. You might remember that in February, the Supreme Court overturned all of these emergency tariffs, the ones from Liberation Day, the ones that were being used effectively for diplomacy against Canada, Europe, China, other countries. And so all the tariffs were rescinded and the Trump administration has to give a refund, and in the amount of almost $170 billion. Well, after that ruling was made in February, Trump administration invokes a new law, Section 1 22, to impose a minimum 10% tariff on almost every country that had tariffs under that emergency provision. So Trump basically said, if the Supreme Court is invalidating the old tariffs, we've got another law, we've got another legal provision lined up to reimpose the same tariffs and the same amount against the same countries. Well, spoiler alert. Those tariffs under section 122 have just been overruled by a federal court. And so a panel of federal judges have reviewed the section 122 10% minimum tariff, and they have found that Trump improperly applied that law. And we're not gonna get into the specifics. It's really not that important. But now those tariffs are being overturned as well and refunded. So the original tariffs are gone and refunded, and now the replacement tariffs are also gone and also refunded. So as of right now, we effectively have no tariffs. Year and a half into the Trump administration, we're gonna lose the midterms, and there's still no tariffs. And what I wanna point out about this, if we don't have time to get to it tonight, is that this characterizes everything the administration has done. They're not building a border wall, they're putting the military on the border. They're not gonna pass a new tariff schedule through Congress, and they're going to abuse and misuse emergency powers for tariffs that we're gonna have to refund anyway. We're not going to change the law and make it so that the federal debt ceiling can't be lifted any further, or cutting a certain amount of spending for every new dollar that's spent. No, we're gonna do doge, and we're gonna bring in all these people and try to find waste, fraud and abuse in the last three months, and none of them are even hired through the proper channels. What do all of these things have in common? What they all have in common is that instead of Trump using his political capital to actually make lasting change, governing effectively, going through the legislature, building infrastructure that cannot be torn down, instead of building a legacy that is actually lasting, using Congress, using your political capital to actually achieve meaningful reforms that are going to last for decades or for a century, instead you have all this ad hoc garbage where they're prioritizing speed, they're prioritizing flexibility, they're lazy. Arguably, it's just incompetence, and they're doing a lot of things, but at the end of four years, none of it is going to last. There's. At the end of all of this, if a Democrat wins in 28, they're gonna take the military away from the border, and the border's gonna be open again without a tariff schedule. A Democrat's gonna come in, they're gonna lift all the tariffs, no more tariffs without any kind of. Without putting it into the law that you're cutting the debt or the deficit, you're gonna get another president, Republican or Democrat, and they're gonna spend one and a half trillion dollars on the military like Trump wants to. They're gonna run up. You're going to have another 7, $8 trillion federal expenditure for the year, and the debt is going to keep going up and up. I think we're at 130% debt to GDP. It's just going to keep going higher. It's the same story with every issue. And this is why I say, and we're going to get into this once again a little bit tonight. This is why I say the only thing that is really going to help anything is we absolutely have to have a powerful executive come to power in this country. It could have been Trump. Trump could have done it. He blew it again. I know it's crushing. I know it's sad. I know a lot of people don't like to admit this, but Trump really had an opportunity in 17, he really got another opportunity in 25. He could have been that guy. And, and arguably there's very little that would have stopped him. There's very little that would have stood in the way. Look at how quickly and decisively he was able to move in those first few months. In 2025, the left was disorganized. We had a unified government. We had both chambers of Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court. We really could have done it, but it. We just had the wrong guy. We had the wrong guy. We had the wrong people with the wrong plan and the wrong agenda. And now we, we blew it. And none of this is going to come to fruition. We're, they're running out the clock, we're running out of time. And in 28, it's going to be over. And so this is why I say it's really as simple as we need somebody in 28, and I'm not joking, it's not hyperbole, it's not an exaggeration. It can be done. We really just need a Caesar like figure, a tyrannical figure that is going to, as a master of governance that is just going to make some structural, systemic changes to how the government works. We need to build a border wall. We need an immigration moratorium, we need some kind of spending moratorium. We need to rework entitlements. You need to have a tariff schedule. Do you know what a tariff schedule is? It means we're gonna take a look at every import and export coming into and out of the United States. And we're going to have technocrats, experts, assign attacks based on that sector, based on that individual good. We're going to bring in the industry experts. The United States used to do this. The last tariff schedule, I believe, was passed in the late 1920s, I think around the time of the Smoot Hawley tariff. We can do these things. It can be done. We can have, we can have a powerful executive with technocratic experts and we could put the country back on the right footing. But we need a radical departure from the past. We need a radical break. And I think that's the only thing that can do it. Otherwise it's going to be a very slow and painful slide into calamity, into an absolute catastrophe. So anyway, it, like I said, if we have time, we'll get into the tariffs. Uh, I don't know that we will though. But if we do, we'll talk about it. Before we get into the news, I wanna remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble. Smash the like button. Leave a comment, let me know what you think about the show.

I was in there all day yesterday, all day today hanging out, talking with you guys about everything and anything. Dropping voice messages, bonus content, giving you really the inside baseball. And honestly today is one of those days when you really get the value and really this whole week. Cause there's been a lot of drama. There's been a lot going on and so like this week is the week you want to be in the hundred dollar a month club. Because I don't really talk that much about the drama on the timeline. If you go on the timeline, I'm all about the business. I'm talking about our mission. We're which is to get the Democrats elected to Congress. I'm talking about the mish. I'm responding to edits of myself on Telegram. I'm posting funny stuff. But if you really want the inside baseball, if you want the drama, you want the Dirt. You want, you want to talk shop? I'm in there. That's where to go. America first stop. Plus okay, so with that out of the way, we're going to get into it. And look, once again, we're, we're gonna get back into this before we even get into Iran and everything else. We're gonna procrastinate a little bit more. So I don't really know what is going on. I, I'm a little confused. Do I have a karmic debt? Like, what is going on? Like, seriously, did Palantir make the call? What is happening here? Because it is like for the past two weeks I have been under this coordinated attack. Think about it. All of a sudden, Jonathan Greenblatt goes on TV and says he's gonna get every Groiper clipping account banned from Instagram. The Atlantic does a huge hit piece about how all my clips need to be banned on Instagram. The Canadian broadcasting company State media shuts down entropy, which is how I make the super chats. They literally fly out to Asia and they do a big hit piece on my super chat platform. Washington Post does a giant like 5000 word hit piece on the super chats, invoking Christine from Ohio, talking trash about the show, all this other stuff. Then they do this skin suit conference this past weekend where they bring in all the ops and all the turd world, this mudslimes, left wing filth, haters, E girls, whatever. And then, I don't know, today it's just like the bottom fell out. Everybody's attacking me today. And that's why I see all this stuff and I'm like, wow, they really don't want white people to vote Democrat. Is that what it is? Think about it. I really didn't even think that was the biggest taboo. There's some red lines you just can't cross, I guess. Lately you can attack Jews all day long. That's totally in fashion. You can attack Israel, you can be racist. People don't even bat an eye. When I say the N word. Nobody even cares. But you start to say, I'm off the Republican plantation, I'm voting Democrat. And everybody loses their minds. We. Why? Because all that other stuff is according to their plan. Nick Fuentes is anti Semitic. Says the N word. The goyim are waking up. You know, that's all part of the plan. Nobody freaks out because all of that is predictable. All of that is a part of the plan. But you know, for the past four years, we've all been saying, hey, Republicans are not Doing anything they promised to do. They. They're not deporting the illegals. They're not keeping us out of the war. They're giving Israel tens of billions of dollars. And the Republicans say, well, what are you gonna do about it, huh? What can you do? You've got no options. You've got nowhere to go. We're the only game in town. What are you gonna do? Vote Democrat. And what happens. What happens when the groipers. What happens when the wang halfs? What happens when the white guys say, yeah, yeah, I'm thinking we are. I'm thinking we are gonna vote Democrat. We are gonna vote Democrat in the midterms. We are gonna vote for Amy Acton in Ohio. Yeah, because fuck this Indian. Yes, we are voting for Amy Acton because fuck this Indian anchor baby. He's a literal anchor baby. You ran on mass deportations. You. You ran on ending birthright citizenship, and you're running an anchor baby. First gen Indian pharmaceutical billionaire who hates Americans for governor. And you're surprised when people say, yeah, this guy needs to lose. I'm gonna help him lose. I'm gonna vote for the Democrat. I'd rather have the lesser of two evils. Yeah, a Democrat is less bad than an anchor baby Republican. So it seems like this is how I know it's the right move, you understand? When you encounter the resistance, that is when you know you're doing the right thing, People say you're getting all this pushback. It's so. It's so provocative. It's so controversial. People are saying it's unthinkable. You're ruining everything. How could you do this? It's unthinkable. This. That's how you know we're exactly where we need to be. You are exactly where you need to be. Because honestly, this is the same kind of dynamic. When I said not to vote for Trump, remember that? All these people that are telling me not to vote Democrat, they were all pro Trump in 2024. Down to A. Down to a man and woman. They were all saying, you can't sit this one out. What are we really gonna have, Kamala? This is the most important election of our lifetimes. It's gonna be a golden age. How could you remember? I remember. I remember the exuberance of election night. People posting the jib jab face Swap of Vivek, RFK Jr. Tulsi, Gabber Tucker, and Trump and Vance dancing to staying Alive by the bee geese. And people said that was funny. People said that was a good meme. People said that we have all the energy woke is dead. It's all the same people. They were behind then. They were two steps behind then. And then they caught up and said, oh, my gosh, you were so right. How are we so blind? We kneel. Trump was a Jewish puppet. They're two steps behind now. And now it takes some three weeks to say we. Why is he saying to vote Democrat? I don't get it. This is too complicated. So I saw, for example, Dan Bilzerian today says. He says on Twitter, first he's telling us that the left is trying to kill right wingers. Now he says to vote for the Democrat in Ohio. It's too contradictory. And it's like, Dan, I know you're not that smart, but it's really not that complicated. I mean, it really boils down to that. This is why they call us. Go like, sorry. This is why they call us goyim. I used to think low IQ anti Semitism is just something that they said. I was wrong, okay? I was wrong. Low IQ antisemitism is real. It's Dan Bilzerian. You know it, I know it. Pretty much the whole world knows it. There is such a thing as low IQ antisemitism. We have been seeing it. It has been out of control. It has been running rampant. And what do I mean by that? It's these people that all they know how to say is, it's the fucking Jews. That's all. It's like they're just pressing a button. They can't tell you anything about it. There's no depth, there's no complexity. There's no even real understanding. They don't know anything about anything. That's all they. Maybe Hitler is a good guy, a Holocaust joke. It's a fucking Jews. Hey, retard. It's a fucking Jew. I know, I know. Dan. He calls me up on the phone, he tells me it's the Jews for two hours. I want to say, Dan, I know. Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Nick Fuentes. I've been saying that for 10 years. I know. Every time he calls and I pick up the phone, he's telling me about how the Communist Commissars are Jewish. Got it. I know. He's telling me about how it's all of them. I know. He's telling me about how yo Israel's causing all the wars and not. I know. Preaching to the choir. Got it. Anyway, so he says he's telling us that the left is gonna kill us, but now you're. Look, I mean, how much clearer can I make it? I've said it. I've said it so many times. I've said it so many times. We are going Democrat in 2026. This is a midterm election year. Do you understand that? It means that every House seat is up for election and one third of the Senate is up for election. The President is not up for election this year, Dan. Okay? Now if Democrats win the House, then for the next two years you'll have a Republican President, a Democrat House, and, and maybe a tie in the Senate. Maybe Republicans will maintain control and the Supreme Court is favored for the conservatives. So what does that mean? It means that Democrats are not going to be able to do whatever they want. There's no scenario where that happens. Because of checks and balances, the Democrats in the House will have to reconcile anything they pass with the Republican controlled Senate. And even if the Democrats control the Senate, the President will have to sign off on any legislation. And that can only be overcome by a super majority in the Senate of three fifths. Okay, this is Civics one zero one and the Democrats will not have that. So what does this effectively do for the next two years? It does not give Democrats total control. It just checks the power of Trump. Right now, the Republicans control the White House, the House and the Senate. And what that means is that in key votes, like for example, on the Epstein files, Republicans are able to block that legislation. The only reason that the Epstein files came out is because a handful of Republicans, one of whom who is now retired, Marjorie Taylor Green, mutinied against the GOP and voted with Democrats. But if Republicans had a bigger majority, they would have been able to bury the Epstein files permanently. The same is true with the War Powers Act. There was a resolution in the Senate to shut down Trump's war in Iran. It was a party line vote. Every Republican, with the exception, with the exception of Rand Paul, voted to prevent the Senate from blocking Trump's war in Iran. If the Democrats controlled the Senate, maybe they would've stopped the war. Okay, so this is just basic stuff. What's more, the Democrats control the House. Under the Constitution, they gain oversight powers. What does that mean? It means they can subpoena, compel the release of documents, they can depose, compel testimony, they can create subcommittees. And what they will do almost certainly is they will investigate the Trump government. Don't we want that? If Trump is in the Epstein files, don't we want the Democrats to impeach him? Don't we want the Democrats to open up an investigation. Don't we want them to compel the release of documents, compel testimony? They get that with oversight powers, and they will do that. And people say, oh, well, voting doesn't matter. Oh well, it's all a uni party. Well, the Republicans and Democrats are still vying for power between each other. And so, yes, just like the Democrats gained the House in 2019 and immediately impeached Trump and created subcommittees and subpoenaed and all those other things, they're gonna almost certainly do it again in 2027. And that is a good thing. They will slow down this government. And here's the big picture, okay? Here's the big picture. Let me just say it again for everybody at home. Here is the big picture, okay? In 2028, let me just tell you the significance of this. In 2028, this will be the first election since 2012 when Donald Trump is not on the ballot. That's a really big deal. Trump was on the ballot in 2016, 2020, 2024. And it really wasn't even negotiable in the last two elections. In 2016, there was a real primary contestant and the people chose Trump. But in 2020, he was running as an incumbent, so there was no primary. And in 2024, he might as well have been running as an incumbent because he was seeking a non consecutive second term. Okay? So 2028 is going to be the first time in 16 years, it will have been 16 years since Trump is not on the ballot. And obviously, so much has changed in 16 years, much of it having to do with Trump. So going ahead to the 2028 primary, I believe that the right wing in this country, the white people, the Christians, the conservatives, the nationalists, the immigration hawks, the anti war people, the social conservatives, I believe that anybody that would identify as right wing or Republican or as part of the opposition, we deserve an opportunity to, to have a fair fight. And by that I mean we should get options. This is the first time that Trump is not gonna be shoved down our throat. So 2028, we should have an open primary where we actually have a competition. It should be competitive and we should have a lot of different voices and get a say in where the Republican Party is going to go after Trump and where the country is going to go. And this is vital because on the Democrat side, you know what you're gonna get on the Democrat side, like, I will be the first one to say the Democrats are fucked, okay? And they do wanna kill us and they do wanna destroy us. They're Going to put up somebody like, they don't even wanna entertain the notion that they'll nominate a white man. Okay? We're getting BLM on steroids. We're getting the trans agenda, we're getting Democratic socialists. We're getting people like Hassan Piker and Zoran Mandani. We're getting feminists. We're get. We're getting absolute garbage. We know we're going to get garbage from the Democrats. We know what we're getting. Nobody wants that to happen, okay? I want them to win in 26 for those reasons. I do not want them to win in 28. I do not want a Democrat to be in charge of law enforcement at the federal level, which is what happens in a presidential election year. I do not want a Democrat to have a unified government, meaning they have the White House and both chambers of Congress. That would be ruinous. And yes, they would kill us if they did that. So we know what we're going to get with the left. It's going to be garbage. We know that's not something that we can entertain. So the only opportunity that we have is if we get a good Republican nominee. We need a good. Because that's the only place where you're going to get nationalism. You're not going to get a nationalist, an immigration hawk. You're not gonna get somebody that is going to restrain Jewish power in the Democratic Party. It's only gonna come from the Republican side, but from a specific faction. And that faction can only exercise influence during the caucus and primary process. During the Iowa caucus, during the New Hampshire primary. That's where if you have 15 candidates, you only need a candidate getting a plurality of the votes to get the delegates. So, you know, if you have a big crowded field and the vote is split between 10 or 15 people or something like that, that is where the groipers or the nationalists or somebody that is truly savvy, they won't even need to win a majority of everybody. They're just gonna need to rack up enough delegates with a plurality that that is our opportunity to get somebody sympathetic in the White House, which is where it counts. Okay? Now let's think ahead to 20, 28. What is happening right now is that there is a shadow war between J.D. vance and Marco Rubio. They both want to be coronated. Neither of them wants a primary process. They don't want to compete. They don't want to have to fight off against a dozen other candidates. And the party is looking the party, and by that I mean the endorsements, the Rank and file. The conference in Congress, the donors, they're making their decisions about which of these candidates, the VP or the Secretary of State are going to be coronated as a successor. And once that decision is made, the whole party is gonna line up and consolidate behind one of them. And if you have one super powerful candidate like let's say J.D. vance is the guy and Rubio falls in line, then, then he is going to crush everybody in Iowa. He's going to crush everybody in every primary and he's going to be the guy or vice versa. If everybody consolidates behind Rubio, then Rubio's the guy and Vance falls in line and he's just going to crush everybody. And both of them are unacceptable. JD Vance has his connections with Paler. Rubio has his connections in Florida with Miriam Adelen and with the rest of them, Paul Singer. Both of these options are totally unacceptable. So think about 2028. You have on the Democrat side, Gavin Newsom, terrible, AOC terrible, JB Pritzker terrible. Each worse than the last. And on the Republican side, if we do nothing, it's gonna be Vance terrible or Rubio terrible. All bad options. I'm thinking ahead to 2028. I want Vance and Rubio to be as diminished as possible. And that only happens if the Trump administration is sabotaged. The Trump administration has to fail in every way, has to become more unpopular, weaker. The. It has to become so toxic that Rubio and Vance are hurt by their association to it. So that it increases the odds that an outsider that is not a part of this train wreck, this Israel occupied administration, can come in from the outside as a breath of fresh air for a reset and define a whole new period with Trump off the ballot in the next primary. This, this is what we're thinking, this is what we're cooking up. And what's funny, so I've explained this like a hundred times. I've explained it so much, but people just can't wrap their heads around it. They're like, wait, wait, so you're a Democrat? It's like, no, like. And then they go, wait, wait, so you want to vote for them now, but you're saying they're going to hurt us in 28. It's like, yeah, okay, yes, yes, I want them to win this election, not the next election anyway. So that's the idea. Um, but I'm getting a little bit black pilled because people are just, I mean, here's the thing. It's going to ha. Regardless, it's going to happen this way, okay? Screenshot this screen. Record this. I want everybody to record how they feel right now, because in 2028, I'm going to be absolutely vindicated. You are once again watching the magic in action. And this time I'm going to talk my shit and I'm going to say it confidently with my chest. You might watch those clips from three years ago and say, how did he predict the war in Iran? How did he predict that Trump would be this bad? How did he predict that there'd be no mass deportations? How did he predict it down to the month, down to the letter? Those same people are now saying, I don't get it. W what? We're Democrats now. Screenshot this. It's happening all over again. I will be vindicated. Democrats are gonna win the House. The next two years of the Trump administration are going to be a train wreck. He might die in office. I don't want that to happen, but it might happen. He's certainly going to be impeached. They're going to grind every initiative, every program to a halt. It's. He's only going to get more unpopular and soon. Okay, in 2027, the Republican primary is going to begin. The Republican primary for the 2028 presidential election is going to start sometime next year. Like, it might happen in January, it might happen in the spring or summer, but it's going to happen at the minimum, at the earliest, at the midpoint next year. And these are the conversations that people are going to have. The donors are already making their decisions. They want to start donating to Rubio or Vance. All of this is starting right now. We have to start thinking about this right now. And if you want an opportunity, if you even want a chance in hell and at having a groiper president, a nationalist America first president, we have to start gaming it out right now. And you know, this relates to what just happened with KC Push, okay? Kasey Push, who ran against VC Ramaswamy in Ohio. So it would have been ideal and probably winnable if a America first candidate ran against Vak for the Republican primary in the governor's race. KC Push ran a terrible campaign, raised no money, didn't listen to his advisors, and he still got 18% of the vote. And people are right that that's a big deal. It's huge. He got over a hundred thousand votes. And it's true, he raised no money, had no operation, did no events, no virality at all. Nothing. But you know what he says after he loses this winnable election? He says, well, I only raised A hundred thousand dollars. And I've only been in it months, so that's pretty good. And people say, why aren't you supporting this guy? Here's the difference. I don't wanna be a day late and a dollar short and fucking lose and then shrug my shoulders and say, hey, not bad for not bad. No, we need to win. We need to win. So there's all the difference in the world between somebody who gets red pilled yesterday, sees a race, goes all in with no intention of winning five months, five months before the primary, doesn't even know if they're gonna be on the ballot, and says, hey, let's just give it a shot. Look, we're not taking this seriously. Nobody really plans on winning. Maybe it'll go well. Who cares? No, that's not good enough. The 2028 primary is winnable, but listen, it's a presidential primary. If we're gonna have a chance, you gotta take it seriously. And taking it seriously means you need to think that far ahead. And it is a bit convoluted. Okay, yes, I know this requires some second and third order thinking, but that is what is required if you wanna be a Machiavellian. That is what is required if you want to win in politics. So no, I'm. I don't wanna wake up in the middle of 2027 with my dick in my hand and my pants are on my ank. Oh, gee, I think we need to get in the primary. Somebody needs to do something. Oh, let's start a campaign and not know if we're on the ballot. No, we need to think about this now and we need to think about the challenges that we are going to face. And I'm telling it to you right now. I'm not a fortune teller, I'm not an oracle, I'm not a soothsayer. But next year our top op is going to be J.D. vance and Marco Rubio. Because they have the boss. Trump is the formally the head of the party as the president. They are second and third in the chain of command in the government. I, I think Secretary of State is fourth. I'm not sure. But it's like Vance and Rubio formally in government and informally in the party. They are the successors and they are going to suck up all the money, all the earned media, all the attention and all the votes. And if there is not a wrecking ball that hurts them, I can't destroy them. The Gripers are not strong enough to destroy the GOP machine, but the Democrats are. If the Democrats are empowered in 26 because they are naturally set against Republicans. They are powerful enough to degrade meaningfully their chances of winning. How Democrats having oversight power, will subpoena and depose the members of the Trump government. They will expose the fraud, real fraud, real corruption, real Epstein stuff. The rest of it, it is going to be so radioactive and poisonous and toxic, it is going to seriously wound everybody in this administration. And that is good because those are the people we're gonna be fighting against in the 2028 primary, which starts next year. So, you know, that's all I have to say to all these people is, call me when you wanna get serious. Okay? Th. This, this cutesy stuff where you go on Twitter and say, oh, maybe Hitler was the good guy. It's fine, you know, it's fun, it's fine. Hit of dopamine. It's a viral post, it's great, whatever. Call me when you wanna get serious. Because when you get serious, you start looking at power and you start thinking about how power works. And that's how we have to think about these problems. That's how we have to think about these challenges. Take it from me, I'm not just a 10 year veteran of, you know, talking about Jews. I don't just go on the show and say juju, juju, juju, ju. For 10 years, I've also been a student of the Trump movement. I've known people in the administration in the first term, in the second term. I know the donors, I know high level officials. I know how this went the first time. I know how and where it went wrong. I know what happened the second time around. I know how and where it went wrong. I lived it. I lived through it. I lived through the first four years of Trump and the campaign and all the fights happening in the bureaucracy. I lived through the four years of Biden and the prosecution or persecution of the dissidents and playing that whole game and being in the opposition. Republicans running in 22 and, and US over even then, Marjorie Green's deal with Kevin McCarthy, we were there for that too. And then throughout this whole process, this election, this term, the personnel, you know, so it's a dual track. Like, yes, we have been ascending in our understanding and consciousness of the Jewish problem or Jewish power, whatever. We've also been ascending in our consciousness and understanding of politics and how all of that works in Washington. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Vance is our biggest op. Vance Rubio, if you're looking for the biggest enemy of right wing nationalism, it is the conservative center right which is going to squelch us. They're going to fucking suffocate us. And no one is taking this seriously. There is so much money being poured into that, laying the groundwork. Think tanks and nonprofits and a cadre of influencers. And they're getting the comedians in Austin, Texas, on board. They're getting all this stuff ready. They. And they have been planting these seeds for years. They have been planting these seeds for the past 10 years. And they are setting up. I am telling you, Tucker and Vance and Nat Con and your Mazoni and Barry Weiss and all of this, they're all doing it to suffocate and siphon energy from the dissident, right, from the nationalists pouring it all back into a Vance 28 campaign, a Rubio 28 campaign. And you can expect just as much America first from that as you got in this administration, which is none. Which is nothing. And nobody has taken that seriously. And Numb nuts, Numb Nuts and all these other people, they just cannot even begin to understand anything that I just said because they do not care. And they don't know the first thing about politics. So, you know, enthusiasm is no substitute for cleverness. And that's really what they think. There are no participation trophies in this war. Okay, Casey, push. And every other loser this long list of has been and never was failed candidates and influencers and whoever they. There are no participation trophies. You do not get a blue ribbon for enthusiasm. There is no. At least I tried. At least I did something. Hey, I don't know if it's gonna work. I don't care if it's gonna work. It didn't work. At least I did something. That's not good enough. That's not enough. It has to work. And for it to work, it has to make sense. And it might be convoluted and it might be ambitious and it might be a little bit too complicated for your small head to understand, but that's how it has to be if we wanna win. Time to get fucking serious. I'm gonna run against Randy. Fine, dude. It's. Everybody that lives in your district is an old boomer evangelical. It like, it just doesn't even make any sense. So, no, there. There are now two tracks diverged and honestly, it's a good thing. Honestly, it's a good thing. Let that be a magnet for every dummy. Let that be a magnet for every dummy, every numb nuts, every low IQ person, everybody that just wants to do something. Let that be a magnet for all of the refuse and the lumpin. And let this be a magnet for the elite human capital, for, for people that want to think deeply about these problems. You don't even have to agree with me necessarily, but we do need to be on the same page, that we're going to need a big picture, we're going to need a big idea. We're going to need a better mental model of the world than whatever is going on on that side. Okay? So it's fine. So honestly, it's fine. And that's the big idea. That's been the big idea. I've been saying it for a long time. I said it in 2024. I said, we gotta go against Trump. Nobody wanted to go there. Uh, they, they were too late. And now here I am saying the same thing. I'm like, we gotta up the ante. We gotta go Democrat. We gotta break the mold, break that taboo. We gotta do it just once. And once again, people are saying, oh, it's too far. Oh, it's too complicated. Oh, I don't get it. So, but here's the thing. I let the predictions do the talking. I'm not going to argue anymore. I'm not going to make the case anymore. I've made the case. And here's the good thing about this show. I always have my record. So you do your thing and I'll do mine. You do your. Whatever that is, I'll do my thing. Let's just go our separate ways and let's just see what happens. Let's just see where we are in a couple of years. That's all I'm going to say. Let's just see what happens in 2028. And if you're confident, then you got nothing to worry about. That's the difference. I always put my money where my mouth is. I always go all in. And I am always vindicated. Always. Every single time. So I'm done, you know, no more pearls before swine. I'm trying to explain this to somebody that doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Let's just see what happens. Let's just see where we are in a couple of years. People say, you think this mythical dark horse is going to run and blah, blah, blah. Let's just see what happens, okay? Let's just see what happens. You and what army? You know, you and what army of only fans thoughts. That's the difference. I'm still the, you know, people can say they're the movement. People can say whatever they want. This is still the Only movement always has been, is always will be. This is the America first movement. Everybody knows that. You have no army, you have nothing. You have no ideas. You have no. You have nothing. You are nothing. So anyway, so we'll see what happens, but we're gonna move on. We're gonna get into the news. That's the last time I'm gonna say probably isn't. We're gonna, we're probably gonna do the same monologue tomorrow. Who am I kidding? We're gonna do the same monologue next week. But honestly, I've been saying it for a long, long, long time. And who knows, maybe they're a part of it. Who knows, maybe they're a part of this operation. But that has always been our biggest enemy. Our biggest enemy is not the left. The left will kill us. Certainly the left is out to get us and they hate us. And. But the left is not the biggest threat. The biggest threat has always been the center. Right, because look, we have a binary system. We have a two party system. You've got the, you've got the status quo, you've got the institutional left, the hegemonic left, and then you've got the opposition, which is the right, which is trying to unseat and disempower the left. And the right has, I mean, it's institutionalized opposition. That is the other half of the country. And they have a monopoly on the people in the country that don't agree with the left. If we can take control of the right as a vehicle, then we can use it and we can win. That's really the path to victory. It's not gonna come from the left, it's not gonna come from a third thing in the middle. Our system just isn't set up for that. That has always been the M.O. and like, Trump really opened up the door for that to happen because he sufficiently weakened the gop. And if you're paying attention on another level, you'll realize that Trump is doing the same thing all over again. In 2016, Trump weakened the Republican Party for himself to ascend. And then he became popular and the Republican Party became strong and they won in 2024, and they filled the federal judge seats and they took over the House and the Senate. They did a lot of things. But now that Trump is crashing and burning, he's sort of once again bringing down the G O P. And we need to enable him to do this so that once again we can have another outsider come in and maybe we get a chance to reroll and redefine things. But I'm telling you, whether it's Vance or whether it's a Democrat, we're gonna need to go for the hills. These are both unacceptable options. Nobody else seems to be thinking that far ahead. It's. It's kind of crazy. I mean, once again, Alex Jones, I was with him last week and he says, how did you predict the war in Iran? I'm like, I just listened to what they were saying. I just literally thought one year ahead. And here it is all over again. They're telling us Vance 28 is non negotiable. It's unstoppable. You're just gonna have to shut the fuck up and accept Vance 28 or Rubio. And that's gonna start next year. I mean, look at a calendar. The primary will start in 2027, and nobody's even thinking that far ahead. Nobody's even thought a year in the future that to the next presidential election. When do you think you're gonna think about it? When do you think we're gonna get it together to field somebody for a presidential primary? The week before, five months before, with a hundred grand. Oh, that's good enough. No, you gotta think about it far in advance. Long term planning, not, not exuberance, not enthusiasm and haste. Let's just do something. No, long term planning is the only thing that is gonna get us to where we need to go. So if you wanna be a part of that, this is where we are. If you wanna be a part of the other stuff, you know what, get your hijab, get your doc's ice T shirt and go to the next fucking whatever rally. And, and you could do that. Honestly, they're doing us a favor. It's, it's another, it's another foil for the America first movement. All right, but anyway, we're gonna take a look at our super chats. I don't even think we're gonna get into Iran. I mean, should we. Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about Iran. We are gonna get into some news tonight. We'll talk a little bit about the ongoing war in Iran and then we'll, I guess we'll look at the super chats afterward. It's been an hour of monologue and it feels like, I don't know, kind of abrupt to just go from, you know, 50 minutes of that to the news, but whatever. Uh, so the big news is that the ceasefire in Iran is once again falling apart. Has anybody even been paying attention to the war in Iran? We will catch you up to Speed on it a little bit. The big development today is that the United States has bombed Iran for the first time in four weeks since the ceasefire was promulgated. And this consisted in some air and sea based attacks against Iranian islands and coastal cities. And this was in response to an Iranian attack on US Destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz earlier today. So this is a story from the New York Times. And then we'll kind of work backwards and catch up to speed on how we got here. It says, quote, the United States said it attacked military sites in Iran on Thursday in retaliation for unprovoked Iranian attacks. US Central Command said in a statement that Iranian missiles, drones and small boats had attacked three US Destroyers in the straight, but that US Forces had eliminated inbound threats. The statement said that in response, the US Military had targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking US Forces, including missile and drone launch sites, command and control locations, and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance nodes. The Iranian military accused the United States of violating the cease fire a day earlier by firing on an Iranian oil tanker that was heading toward the Strait of Hormuz. It said it had retaliated by attacking US Military vessels in the region. So this was like a tit for tat thing. The US has imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz against Iranian commercial shipping. So Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz using drones and missiles and sea based mines to any commercial shipping that has not gotten permission from the irgc. Well, the United States has imposed a blockade of their own using these US Navy destroyers in the Arabian Sea. And they are attacking any and all inbound or outbound Iranian commercial shipping. So Iran is attacking everybody else. We are attacking their shipping. So yesterday, Iran apparently attempted to bypass our blockade. The United States enforced it by attacking one of their chemical tankers. Iran saw that as a violation of the ceasefire. They retaliated by attacking the US Destroyers with speedboats that attacked their chemical tanker. In response to the attack on the destroyers, the US had to retreat. And then we went in and bombed the Iranian coastline and the islands. So it was a little tit for tat. We enforced the blockade. They attacked the destroyers, so we then bombed their coastline. President Trump told reporters on Thursday evening that the cease fire was still intact even after the exchange of fire. The back and forth came as explosions shook Iran's Kesham island and the city of Bandar Abbas shipping centers on the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the country's capital, Tehran. According to Iranian news media and citizens posting on social media, Iran's Armed forces said that the United States and its supporting countries were responsible and that the strikes had come after exchanges of fire between US And Iranian vessels in or near the Persian Gulf. Spokesman for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps wrote on social media that the US has violated the ceasefire. Hours before these accusations, three Iranian officials said that the two countries were debating a one page proposal for the United States to lift its blockade on Iranian ships and ports, for Iran to open the strait to unimpeded commercial traffic and to end the fighting for 30 days while negotiators try to reach a comprehensive peace settlement. The key stumbling bot stumbling block to an initial agreement is what to do about Iran's nuclear enrichment program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Okay, so cease fire. Iran, where are we? So we are in the phase of the Iran war, of the ceasefire. The Iran war went on from February 28th until four weeks ago. You might remember when the original ceasefire was announced and this followed all of those in deadlines and ultimatums. There's been a few phases in the war. We came in really heavy with Israel in our surprise attack on Iran, purpose of which was to topple their government. Came in with everything we had killed their supreme leader. And the idea was the government would collapse, regime change would happen organically from the people and that would be the end of it. We thought it would be like Venezuela, but the days went on, weeks went on, and we realized that would not happen. The Iranian regime chose a new supreme leader. It seems that their military was decentralized and resilient enough that they were still capable of carrying out drone and missile attacks. And critically, Iran did move and was able to close the Strait of Hormuz. So these were some of the things that took place that changed the nature of the war. We thought we would topple the government, we wouldn't have to worry about the strait. We thought we could topple the government and that would be the end of it. But because Iran's regime was durable, they were able to still carry out attacks. And that gave them the capability to indefinitely close the strait. And that's what we were not counting on. Because the IRGC was decentralized and the command structure was decentralized, even though we eliminated a good percentage of the of the higher ups, the senior leadership up to and including the Supreme Leader, all of these other IRGC commanders dispersed throughout the country were still able to launch drones and missiles. And that is their capability which allows them to close the strait. And so they closed the strait, they were able to continuously keep the strait closed. And then that put pressure on the United States because of the global price of energy. And at that point, it became a war of attrition. And we've talked a lot about this. The United States thought that if we just kept up the military pressure, that would eventually get Iran to fold, even though we were under economic pressure. But as the weeks went by, it became clear that there was nothing that we could do militarily, only using air and sea power that would prevent Iran from keeping the strait closed. So we're under economic pressure because of the exploding price of energy and other key commodities. And our military pressure on Iran seemed to be yielding increasingly minimal results. There was no return on investment there. We were hitting them harder and dropping more bombs and doing more things, and it did not affect their ability to, to launch drones and missiles that were preventing commercial ships from getting through the strait. So then it became very obvious that Trump was just going to have to quit and end the war. And he was looking for ways out, looking for ways that we could increase the pressure on Iran. We talked about all those different options. They talked about invading the islands, they talked about bombing civilian infrastructure, they talked about paratroopers landing in the Iranian mainland, all sorts of things. And in the end, Trump just bluffed and said, well, maybe we'll do all of it. Maybe we'll invade the islands and invade the mainland and bomb the infrastructure. And finally, when the bluffing didn't work, eventually Trump just sued for a ceasefire. And that's where we were four weeks ago. So you could say that those were two distinct periods. You had that first phase of the war where we were seeking a speedy regime change. Not even thinking about the Strait of Hormuz quickly turned into a war of attrition. And we tried to win that again with overwhelming military force. We tried to get creative and think of other ways to put pressure on them. It didn't work. In the end, we just bluffed. They never believed it. And so finally, we declared the ceasefire. And you might remember the terms of the ceasefire were these. We said that we will stop bombing you if you open the straight and you engage in a two week process to find a comprehensive peace. Well, notably, Iran did neither of those things. The Strait of Hormuz has remained closed since the ceasefire happened initially. And throughout that two week period, there was only one meeting in Pakistan, and it did not go well at all. Iran did not agree to any of our demands. There was no willingness to negotiate on any of our red lines or anything like that. And so Even though the ceasefire came with these terms, we said, look, we're gonna, we're gonna do you the favor of not bombing you as long as you open the straight and negotiate. They neither opened the straight nor did they negotiate. And yet the ceasefire remained in place for those full two weeks. And then when the cease fire was supposed to expire, Trump extended it indefinitely. Now, what does that tell you? It tells you that we are benefiting it. We are benefiting from it more than Iran is. We're telling them that we are doing them the favor by not bombing them, but they're not even keeping up their end of the bargain. They've maintained control of the straight and they're not letting shipping go through and they're not realistically negotiating with us in good faith. And yet, not only did the first ceasefire expire, but it was extended indefinitely. And now here we are, two weeks and two days after that original extension. So where does that bring us today? Well, again, what was being talked about was a new temporary agreement where the United States would end its blockade over the strait. Iran would open the strait to commercial shipping and then there'd be a new 30 day window. Okay, so originally there was a two week window. Now they're saying there'll be a 30 day window for a more comprehensive agreement to address the root causes and so on that was being discussed today. But here again are the sticking points. Okay, the sticking points are these. When the United States is asking Iran to open up the strait, our expectation is that they are going to leave the strait alone. But that is not Iran's idea. Iran's idea is that they will maintain control over the strait and they will allow ships to go through it, but only with their permission and charging them a toll to go through the strait of $1 per barrel of oil. So there's all this talk about the strait. We're saying you need to open it. And they're saying we will open it. So but we're saying you need to let it go. You need to open it. And the word that we are using is freedom of navigation. That's the critical phrase. We're saying we wanna go back to the pre war status quo where that is considered international waters and nobody owns it. And therefore nobody can charge a rent on it, nobody can charge a toll. And so all of the Qatari lng, all of the Saudi oil is able to freely go through. Iran has no say over it. They can't profit from it. Well, Iran is saying something else. They're saying, well, it's gonna be open. But it's only gonna be open with our permission. Yes, any commercial ship can go through, but they need to call the IRGC and tell us they're coming. They need to go through a new designated shipping lane and they're gonna need to pay us because Iran doesn't wanna let this go for Iran. This is their deterrence. What prevents the United States and Israel from attacking them all over again. It is their control over the strait. And obviously they want to consolidate their control, which they have taken since the war started. They're saying this is how we're gonna rebuild. How are we gonna rebuild our country? We're gonna charge money on this Persian Gulf that we now own. And what's more, they're saying we won this fair and square. We took it, it's ours. We're going to split it between us and Oman and now we're going to charge a toll. Just like Egypt in the Suez, just like Panama in the Panama Canal. And, and that's just going to be ours. And that's our strategic victory. So there's a huge sticking point over the terms and the conditions under which the straight is open. That's number one. But number two, and this is the big thing is, and the Iranians say this, whether we even have another 30 day cease fire and whether we're able to end the blockade and open the strait, it all comes back to nuclear enrichment. And once again, the United States is demanding that Iran give up all enrichment activity or commit to some kind of moratorium where eventually they'll get rid of it. And Iran is saying they're actually dug in, they're more dug in than before. They're saying that enrichment is their sacred right. It's as sacred to them as their own territorial integrity. In other words, they're identifying enrichment with sovereignty. What it means to be a sovereign state is that you control what happens on your borders. If another country is operating militarily on your soil, you're at war. Because what defines a nation's independence and sovereignty is their ability to dictate what happens within its territory. And, and so when Iran says our right to enrichment is as sacred as our own soil, they're saying sovereignty means the ability to develop a nuclear deterrent, which is the ability to enrich uranium and have a native nuclear program. So they're actually more dug in. The United States says zero enrichment, no exceptions, no negotiation, no wiggle room. And Iran is saying the exact same thing in the opposite direction. Now the United States is not going to agree to A short term thing without nuclear. Even though Iran is saying that we can come to a short term agreement and we'll negotiate the nuclear issue later. Now why does the United States not wanna kick the can down the road on nuclear enrichment? Because we have to assume that if we give Iran 30 days and then let's say they don't make a deal and then it's 60 days and then it's 90 days for as long as we are negotiating with Iran and we're not bombing Iran and Iran is not committed not to enrich, we have to assume they're digging out their highly enriched uranium or we have to assume that they have other centrifuges in the country and they're enriching more uranium. And maybe they're working to acquire some kind of nuclear deterrent, a primitive one, but maybe they're working to acquire something like that. So there is still a, there is still a countdown timer here where the United States does not have endless time to negotiate. And we can't give them endless time to negotiate, especially not as long as they are free from military pressure, as long as they're not being bombed. So this is where we are. They say, as they've been saying for this entire time, that we're so close to a deal, Iran wants a deal. They say that the Saudis are pushing us to work through Pakistan to make a deal, all these things. And yet the fundamentals have not changed, the red lines have not changed. Nuclear enrichment is still the impasse. Even the Strait of Hormuz is now an impasse. Iran is never giving that up and the United States is never gonna let em have it. And so in the middle of this, of this process to get a peace process, you've got an exchange of fire. Couple days ago the UAE is hit with drones and missiles at their oil storage facilities. Yesterday the US enforces its blockade against Iran and hits one of their tankers. Iran retaliates against US destroyers that have to retreat. The destroyers cannot operate close to Iran because they're too slow. They're going to get hit by drones and missiles. So the United States retaliates by bombing Tehran. Well now there's a question, does Iran take that laying down? Iran got hit in Bandar Abbas, on Kesham island in Tehran, maybe elsewhere. Iran says that wasn't just the United States, but also the emirates, also the US's supporters in the region. So now does Iran take that on the chin, this little love tap from Trump? Or now does Iran retaliate against the UAE or against one of the Gulf countries. I would ask another question. Is the UAE trying to restart the conflict? There are some sources that say that the drone attack on the storage facilities in the Emirates came from Saudi Arabia. Was it some kind of false flag? Are they looking for a provocation? Here's my bigger point. The peace process is very fragile because you have a two way blockade. So this necessarily involves Iran is gonna be hitting commercial shipping, we are gonna be hitting Iranian shipping. So it already lends itself. We're already set in opposition and there's a great deal of tension. And on any timeline we're gonna be firing on each other. The United States said on Sunday that we launched a new operation, Operation Freedom and the US Navy would be escorting commercial ships through the STR Straight. The only reason that got called off on Tuesday is because Saudi Arabia and Kuwait wouldn't let us use their airfields. So we wanted to escalate, we wanted to get more involved. It was the Saudis and Kuwaitis that pulled us back. So the ceasefire is fragile. Point number two, ceasefire can't really succeed because in order for us to even get a real peace process, there's gonna need to be capitulation on one side on one of the important issues. And by that I mean the US and Iran will have to capitulate on the straight or on nuclear. The US Is gonna have to give up on enrichment or Iran will. The US is gonna have to give up on the straight or Iran will. But there's gonna need to be capitulation on both of those issues to even get a protracted peace process going. And that's an impossibility. Neither side is gonna give up enrichment. Neither side is gonna give up the straight. Third, all the other players in this conflict I think want it to keep going. Israel wants it to keep going. The Emirates wants it to keep going. It seems maybe there's a difference of opinion with Saudi Arabia. They, they seem to be pushing the United States to pursue diplomacy through Pakistan. But it's hard to know what to believe because there's so much lying going on with Barack Ravid and Axios and some of these other sources that are out there. But clearly this is a very unstable situation that tends toward a resumption of hostilities. If the truce is fragile, if the peace process can't start because there's a true impasse on two very important issues, and if there are players involved, namely Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi that want the war to keep going, then all signs point toward there's gonna be a resumption of hostilities maybe at any time now, the only thing to look out for is that in a little bit over a week, Trump is going to visit Beijing and he'll be in China. Now, all of the Asian countries have a very strong interest in bringing the war to an end, because it is the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia that are most acutely affected by the closure of the strait. They are the biggest customers for Persian Gulf oil, not just Iranian oil, but all the oil and. And energy that comes from the Persian Gulf. They are going to get hit first, they're going to get hit hardest, and they're already rationing their energy resources. And there's sort of something interesting about this. So, on the one hand, China sees Iran as a strategic ally, and China is one of Iran's biggest purchasers of its oil. Iran, I believe, is now purchasing 80% of Iran's oil. So Iran and China sort of joined at the hip, and it was said that China pushed them into the ceasefire originally, probably because China doesn't wanna see the United States decimate Iran's energy infrastructure. But now there's something interesting going on, which is that as Vietnam and the Philippines and Indonesia are facing these energy shortages and acute energy problems, who are they going to rely upon to get bailed out? A country like the Philippines is a security partner of the United States, but they are kind of an economic partner of China. It is the United States that is inflicting this energy shock on these Asian countries. It's because of our military adventurism that they're having to ration energy, that they are going to face some real economic problems. And who's gonna bail them out with credit? It might be China. That is the center of gravity economically in the Indo Pacific. So it seems that maybe the road to ending the war in Iran ultimately is gonna run through Beijing and whatever's agreed to on May 12, when Trump goes out there. So I don't know that the war is gonna restart before then, but clearly that is gonna be a pivotal moment. And maybe there's gonna be a grand agreement, not just on trade, but also involving the Persian Gulf energy. So that's gonna be the next big date to watch. Trump says that Iran has another week. Trump says that Iran has one week to come to another agreement about another ceasefire for another peace process. Who knows if that's even real? The real deadline to watch is May 12, when Trump goes to China. So that's what we're gonna watch for. But right now, it's all up for grabs. Who really knows even what's gonna happen. But I would say that everything is pointing towards, at some point in the near future, a resumption of hostilities. I don't think as much as the United States would like to just simply walk away from this, and it seems like that is kind of the plan is to slowly walk away, create these truces and ceasefires and this kind of, like, architecture of diplomacy. In reality, I think that that is just as much of a sham as it was in February, as it was last April and May when we tried it then. And the. The needle is really pointing towards. There's gonna need to be some kind of much more ambitious military solution. At least that's the only way that Washington sees out of this problem in. In the final calculation. Uh, so that's where we are in the war in Iran. We finally got caught up to speed on that a little bit. We're gonna move on. We're gonna take a look at our super chats. We'll see what you guys have to say about all this. And we'll see. We'll see what the super chatters have to say. What's your take? All right, gonna get set up. Let's see. Drama, drama, drama. It's always something, isn't it? Always something. Should I button the jacket? What do you. Hair's a little messed up again, right? That's okay. I washed it. So it's a little, like, the texture is like, a little. It's not the best. I feel like the. My. The hair texture is the best when you don't wash it for, like, one day. When I wash it, it's, like, a little too staticky. It's like too thin or something. I don't know. Anyway. All right, let's see what we got here. Let's take a look.

People calling Nick out for telling us to vote Democrats in the midterms proves him right on why we need to burn the whole GOP to the ground with every plan truster in it. Blue Wave 2026.
A
Look, look, we have to go dark, okay? We have. I, I, I'm so serious about this. Like, we have to be the villains. They're gonna hate us for it. They're gonna hate us for a little while. I'm okay with that. I'm telling you right now, a lot of people are gonna dislike me. They're gonna talk shit about me. Uh, they're gonna hate me. We're gonna have to just deal with that, okay? I have to be the villain. I've accepted it. It's gonna be extremely unpleasant for you. No, but, but it's just true. How many people are gonna say that? Like, yes, we're gonna take some hits. We're gonna be unpopular, we're going to be attacked. We're gonna be misunderstood. But this is what we have to do. I did it in 2024 and I didn't regret it. I did it in 2019, and I didn't regret it. And I'm doing it again and I'm not going to regret it now. So we did not get this far by doing the easy thing, by going with everybody, doing what's popular. I didn't, I didn't come this far to like sell out and just lie to everybody and, you know, go along to get along and be super popular and not fight with anybody. We are still dynamic. We are still coming up with new ideas. We are still fighting. It is a permanent revolution. Permanent revolution means it's always shifting, always changing. We're always pushing the envelope. And it doesn't mean we're changing the fundamental principles, but it means that we are constantly marching forward. We're never going to create a defensive line and get complacent and get comfortable. We are always going to be marching ahead, taking the battles, fighting the fight. So, you know, this would be a perfect time for me to kind of like sit back on my throne and say, oh, I'm, you know, I'm the king of America first. And you know, we're just going to take all the easy fights and do all the easy stuff. It is a permanent revolution. We are always pushing, always churning, always going forward. And so we're always going to be a little bit unpopular. We're always going to be controversial. We're always going to be fighting to be heard and understood. But you know what? That's what it is to be in the future. These people are in the past. Don't you understand that? These people that are now saying Jews did 9, 11, that's in the past. Everyone already believes that, okay, those were red pills 10 years ago. That don't you understand? They're playing catch up. They are now where we were five years ago. They are the fucking past. They are normies. They, they are not dynamic, they are not forward thinking. They, they are at the end of the adoption curve. You know, I'm a pioneer. I get things started, I go to where the future is, I bring it forward into the present. You people get red pilled 10 years in the future and say, oh, how did he predict all that? Oh, I'm a normie. You know, I'm a normie. I was being on Instagram for five years now. I just discovered politics exist at the ripe age of 45. Like we have to be in the future. So. And that necessarily involves being unpopular because most people are not capable of thinking. Fundamentally, most people cannot think for themselves. They will always be catching up. They will always be the last to find out. You know, it's like these people that like got into bitcoin after it hit $100,000. Did you hear about bitcoin? It's, it's that same premise. It's like once a certain class of people finds out about something, it's already finished, it's already dead, it's already done, it has already run its course. You know, when your normie friend that doesn't know anything, when it finally matriculates, when it finally gets to that person, it's already over, it's already on its way out and something else is just about to start cresting. So, um, and maybe that sounds very abstract, but it's like with Griper War, we led the charge against Charlie Kirk in 2019. We did th, this conversation about immigration, moratorium, Israel, social conservatism, we did that in 2019. Everybody's been catching up since then. And even this thing about opposing Republicans, I said in 2022, don't vote Republican. And in 24 I said don't vote Trump. And in 22 we did. Yay, 24. And now we're saying vote Democrat. It's only now that everybody's catching up and saying, gee whiz, Trump was a mistake. It was all. It's so disappointing. Gee, maybe Vivek needs to lose and Amy Acton needs to win. You know, once again, here we are again. So yeah, I mean it's, it's really just that simple. And everybody that is talking shit about me is old, stupid and doesn't know anything about politics. Like why would anybody listen to them? The Gripers are young, extremely engaged in politics, know what they're talking about, know the score, know how we got here. You know, they, they know the lore, they know the history. Why are we listening to people that literally got red pilled yesterday are old and don't know anything about anything? Like those are, that's not leadership. So, you know, if you wanna lead the army of the past, knock yourself out. You wanna lead the army of people that are playing catch up, hey man, knock yourself out. We're, we're undergoing another reinvention. And I told you this is not cope. I told you this at the beginning of the year. I said this is gonna be a year of refinement. This is gonna be a year when we're gonna need to shake a lot of people off. I said we are in a bubble and the bubble was inflated. Antisemitism, whatever you wanna call it, became mainstream. It attracted tons of people. And now the influencer economy is too big. There are more influencers that need to make a Check or need to get engagement off of Israel, criticism. Then the economy will support. And so it's gonna turn to, you know, knives out, infighting, jealousy, all kinds of other issues. Um, these are just some of the dynamics that are going on. So this is gonna be a year of reinvention. We did Generational Run. Okay? We've been at the top of the mountain. We won. Now it's time to get back to the workshop. You know, it's time to rebuild the Iron man suit. Tony Stark built this in a cave with a box of scraps. Now this is like Iron Man 3. We gotta get back to our roots. We gotta rebuild the suit. So anyway, we gotta discover the new element that's Iron Man 2. But anyway, those are just some thoughts on the whole situation.

Everybody's been saying that. Everybody's been saying that. I wonder why. I guess I just needed a break. There was a lot of stuff that was just getting to me. A lot of things. And, you know, not. Not even one thing in particular, but I was just so fed up with politics and paranoid and just dealing with a lot of nonsense. And so I had to just take a couple weeks to dig deep and collect myself. Had to hang out with the homie, Keith Woods. Had to hang out with my rabbi. Keith Woods. He's not Jewish, but, like, Keith woods is, like, my spiritual advisor. He's not Catholic, so I know that's not great, but he's extremely wise. Extremely wise. He knows a lot about spirituality. He knows a lot about psychology and philosophy. So I just needed time to be with my rabbi. He's gonna hate that I call him that. But, like, he's. I had to be with my. My monk. He's like my Buddhist monk. That's better. He's like my Buddhist monk. I had to go to a new continent and be with my Buddhist monk, my spiritual advisor, My. My Sage the savant. Cause I was crashing out hard. I needed a little. I needed someone to tell me, you know, like be like water. I needed somebody to tell me some shit like that. I need somebody to tell me there's a consciousness underneath your consciousness. So. Yeah. So I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, it was. It was a very. It was a good trip. Appreciate. You know, Bradley Martin put the idea in my head. He's like, you need to just go to Italy. I was like, that's so true, dude. We need to just do things this year. So, yeah, very. It was a good trip.

So you're 13 or 14. Dude, that's crazy. Bros. 14, bro. It's like, hey, I'm. I just graduated eighth grade. Yeah, it's April. Or maybe bro, just graduated eighth grade. Eighth grade. Groiper here. No, but that's wholesome, actually. It's actually wholesome and it's nice to hear. Listen, don't worry about that. Don't worry about all that stuff. Here's what you gotta worry about. To all my young fans, all of the 8th graders, high schoolers that watch the show, here is my advice. You are at an age where your brain is able to learn faster and better than at any other time in your life. It's called neuroplasticity. Okay? So everything you do now is going to make you smarter, better, more of a weapon in your life. So this is what I tell all my young followers do the most to protect your mind. That's your most valuable asset is your brain. And that means stay away from the bad stuff. No. No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. None of that stuff. It's poison. Don't let anybody tell you differently. It's not cool, it's not fun. It's bullshit. And that's how people develop a problem. By the way, people start that stuff early and they can Never let it go. So stay away from drugs and alcohol. I would even say, stay away from sex. Big distraction. And I would focus on learning a language, learning a musical instrument, reading as many books as you can. And the last one is the most important. Get good grades. Take school seriously. I didn't take it seriously. I thought it was a joke. I regret it. Because the skills that you learn in school, this is all good for your development. This is all who we are, okay? Math, science, history, English. That's who we are. So see it. See the value in it that is there. Uh, so take it seriously. Give it your all. Get good grades. You want to get into the best college possible. That's how you set yourself up. You want to develop your brain, get the credentials to get into a good college. It's all just about setting. I sound like my parents. And it's all just about setting yourself up for the best future possible. You don't even necessarily have to go to college, but you want that to be an option. You want it to be an option that you could go to college. So that means getting good grades, getting extracurriculars. Just do things that are gonna help you learn, okay? If it's a learning experience, do it. Whatever that is. You know, um, around with AI, around with crypto, whatever. You know, just learn. Learn. Not just even in the classroom, but get a practical education as well. I know I'm throwing a lot at you, but get a practical education as well. There's a lot of young people that are entrepreneurs. Start thinking about technology, start thinking about AI, Start. Start thinking about those kinds of things. Even put your resume out there when you get a little bit older, when you're like 15, 16. Put your resume out there. But that would be my advice to you at this age. I wouldn't worry too much about politics. I'd worry more about setting yourself up in the best position possible for your future. And that means staying away from the distractions and really doing yourself a favor by increasing your IQ. You can increase your IQ by 10 points at this age if you just take it seriously. So do what I did. Read as many books as you can. Take advantage of school. Get good grades. Set yourself up for success. That's my advice, okay? That's my advice for the young.

So I actually really appreciate that. And I don't know that we're gonna be best good friends. But you know my biggest problem? I don't even necessarily have a problem with people that criticize me or on me. I just hate dishonesty. I just hate when people lie. So that actually showed some integrity. And I do appreciate that for what it's worth. So. That was nice of him. It wasn't nice. It was the right thing to do.

AMERICA FIRST WITH NICHOLAS J. FUENTES REPOST
Episode: "IRAN WAR RESTARTS??? US Bombs Iran After Persian Gulf Attack | America First Ep. 1679"
Host: Nicholas J. Fuentes
Date: May 8, 2026
In this episode, Nicholas J. Fuentes addresses escalating tensions between the US and Iran, with the US bombing Iranian targets after an incident in the Persian Gulf. Fuentes analyzes the state of the Iran conflict post-ceasefire, critiques the Trump administration’s handling of foreign and domestic policy, and renews his controversial call for right-wing dissidents to vote Democrat in the 2026 midterms. The episode also features an extended monologue on political strategy, the future of the America First movement, and host responses to significant online drama and criticism.
Timestamps: 00:00–28:00, 72:00–83:00
Recap of War Coverage & Ceasefire: Fuentes notes exhaustion with the ongoing Iran coverage, pointing out the lack of a decisive outcome after years of on-and-off hostilities.
“We did about 60 days of Iran war coverage and honestly I'm just over it… It all goes back to October 7th...” (01:16)
Current Developments & Blockade: The US Navy fired on an Iranian commercial vessel, prompting Iranian speedboat attacks on US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. The US responded by bombing Iranian islands and coastal areas, notably Bandar Abbas.
“So an Iranian commercial vessel tried to go through the strait. We enforced the blockade by attacking it. Iran retaliated against our destroyers and then we counterattacked by bombing their mainland and their islands.” (05:12)
Tensions Over Ceasefire Legitimacy: The Trump administration claims actions were a “love tap” (Trump’s phrase) and not an escalation, while Iran says the ceasefire is violated.
“Washington says that this was a love tap, which is kind of funny, that's how Trump characterized it today... the ceasefire is still in place.” (08:55)
Diplomatic Roadblocks: Both sides are negotiating a temporary end to hostilities, but nuclear enrichment and control of the Strait of Hormuz are unsolved sticking points.
“The sticking point in this entire thing is the centrifuges, whether Iran will commit to zero enrichment or an enrichment moratorium.” (11:30)
Analysis of US Strategy: Fuentes frames the administration’s approach as stalling and face-saving, noting no real progress or victory.
“There’s no timetable… it seems that the Trump administration is trying to stall and buy time to soften the blow as we effectively withdraw from the conflict…” (03:44)
“The US Military had targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking US Forces, including missile and drone launch sites, command and control locations, and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.” (as read from The NYT, 72:55)
Timestamps: 28:00–37:00
Recent Court Rulings: Supreme Court and federal courts have overturned Trump-era tariffs; repeated attempts to re-impose them under different legal provisions have failed.
“Those tariffs under section 122 have just been overruled by a federal court… So as of right now, we effectively have no tariffs.” (29:45)
Wider Critique: Fuentes slams the administration for ad hoc, non-durable policy changes, blaming “incompetence, speed, laziness.” He argues that the executive branch lacks vision and Congress is not used to create lasting change.
“Instead of Trump using his political capital to actually make lasting change... you have all this ad hoc garbage where they’re prioritizing speed, they’re prioritizing flexibility, they’re lazy.” (32:40)
"Caesar" Rhetoric: Fuentes calls for a “powerful executive” (a “Caesar-like figure”) capable of remaking the system, advocating dramatic systemic reforms.
“We really just need a Caesar-like figure, a tyrannical figure… that is just going to make some structural, systemic changes to how the government works.” (35:15)
Timestamps: 37:00–55:00, 84:00–90:00
Drama and Personal Attacks: Fuentes discusses recent coordinated attacks from media, activists, and social media platforms.
“I have been under this coordinated attack… all of a sudden, Jonathan Greenblatt goes on TV… Washington Post does a giant... hit piece on the super chats... everybody's attacking me today.” (39:57)
Defying Conservative Orthodoxy: He draws a line about his break with the GOP, citing their failures to deliver on promises and arguing that threatening to vote Democrat provokes more outrage than prior controversies.
“You can attack Israel, you can be racist, people don’t even bat an eye… but you say, ‘I’m off the Republican plantation, I'm voting Democrat,’ and everybody loses their minds.” (43:46)
Rationale for Supporting Democrats in the Midterms:
“I want Vance and Rubio to be as diminished as possible. And that only happens if the Trump administration is sabotaged.” (51:54)

The Iran story serves as both live news and metaphor for his dissatisfaction with conservative establishment politics. The episode is best understood as a manifesto for short-term disruption (via Democratic votes) in service of long-term nationalist renewal—delivered in Fuentes's signature "us-against-them" style.
