The president is winning the war with Iran and he's playing chess. Yes, he does play chess at a higher level than the news can keep up with. The New York Times can handle. And unfortunately, the bombardment of propaganda out there is making it harder and harder for this president to get his message out. So we need folks like you to listen to this and get the word out. As of the last 48 hours, Israel has taken out one of Iran's most effective Republican Guard leaders. What's happening here? As you see, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, we're finding out the Ayatollahs had billions of dollars of assets. They've got hotels and villas. They have buildings. Isn't it strange how this world works? In London, they own a lot of property. Billions of dollars through the Khamenei regime was funding all over the world property investments as well as in Dubai. And what's interesting about this is the Republican Guard leadership, Hay Echelon were all on the payroll. They were all really well compensated. So you got. It's almost like a cartel with a religious obsession of the, you know, the Shia Islamic clerical radical faith. Hating Jews and hating the United States is pretty much a centerpiece to their jihadic religious obsession. Trump is taking the thing down. Something interesting happened when the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larah Jani was taken out. The Israeli defense IDF accused Lajani of overseeing the regime's violent crackdown in charge of all the anti government protests, the 30,000 or so that were killed. This was largely his management last week. Laranjani, how you talk about an interesting moment. He threatened Donald Trump. He just got taken out. But he threatened Donald Trump after the president warned Iran that he would strike the country harder if it blocked oil shipments in the Strait of Hormuz. And so the Ashura loving nation of Iran does not fear your paper threats. Laranjani posted on social media. Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Watch out for yourself lest you be eliminated. Well, you know, you threaten Trump's life like that. And he basically said, okay, he's gone and he's gone. In a separate strike, the IDF said it also killed Golamarza Mahreza Soleimani, the commander of the Basij Resistance Force. So the basic resistance force is a paramilitary unit under Iran's Revolutionary Guard. It's almost like the state police apparatus that they got the military and then the state police. So they just took out one of the commanders there. You know why Trump is sending a message. He's Saying to the paramilitary Guard, that is the state police, to the Revolutionary Guard Corps. You are not going to continue. You better come to terms with what I want. Yesterday, the IDF targeted and eliminated Soleimani. Under Soleimani, the Basage unit led the main repression operations in Iran, employing severe violence, widespread arrest and the use of force against civilian demonstrators. So the Supreme National Security Council secretary plus the leader of their enforcement arm were both taken out. This was a joint US And Israeli effort. The military says a strike in Tehran targeted the basic commander and around a dozen others, including the most senior figures in the basic forces. People with a lot of blood on their hands. Fascinating business going on right now. And I want you to take a look with me. Let's play the I liked what Jesse Waters said regarding the strike on where 90% of the oil is processed and going through Iran. Trump just took the island. He just eliminated all the military bases and operations on the island, which is the Kharg island that handles 90% of Iran's exports. I think Jesse does a great job explaining it. Let's play it.

The president said, watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today. And he wasn't kidding. Moments ago, Central Command executed one of the most powerful raids in the history of the Middle east, totally obliterating every military target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island. For reasons of decency, the president says he's chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on the island, but says if Iran interferes with oil flows on the Strait or Hormuz, he'll immediately reconsider his decision.
- [05:23]
A
A lot of big hits today. A lot of big wins today, as you probably have heard. Jilla Terrell and. And I think it's going very well and very good. Control. We'll see what's happening with the Straits. They continue to try and sabotage their own country in the Middle east, but it's been very, very strong militarily.
- [05:45]
B
Carg Island's Iran's main oil export terminal. 90% of its oil sales flow out of that island. It's basically the country's biggest cash register and Trump just hit everything next to it. We told you yesterday, effing with the straight made Trump more dug in. And we know when Trump draws the red line, he means it. This type of tactical precision strike at the heart of the Iranian economy sends a message we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Balls in the mullah's court.
- [06:15]
A
And what's interesting in the background of this is Trump is now inviting all nations to work together in this vast body of water to be able to make sure that there's a safe passage of energy and commerce that's flowing through the strait. And who is slow on answering that and who refused to do it were certain NATO nations, the UK for one of them, which has way too much Islamic influence controlling it. Spain. No, we're not going to participate at all. And Trump's making a note of this. And in fact, he said something which we'll have to cover once we get more information on it. He flat out said, I don't even think we need NATO, because if NATO can't show up in support of the energy that they need and what's a vital interest in their own backyard, then I don't think it makes sense for us to be committing a whole lot of money to NATO. It's a paper tiger. They're not showing up. And he's sending a message. He even sent a message to China, because in China, they're watching this with great interest because they have aspirations in some point in the future of seizing Taiwan. And they're watching. And Trump's demonstrating America's military capacity. He keeps on when he's saying, we have the greatest military in the world, he's saying that because he's sending a message to China and he's reminding Russia, can you do this? They couldn't do it. Russia can't do it with Ukraine. But look what we could do. And what he's trying to say is, I want everyone to play nice. We can all make money. We can have a peaceful world. We have to have an economy that works. Now. China needs, like, 40% of its energy is coming through the Strait of Hormuz. They're affected by the shutdown. So Trump says, bring your ships over here. Why don't you join us? Why don't we just. Let's work together? Because that island, that Carg island, is critical infrastructure for the economy in Iran, which feeds the regime. And there's the problem. If Trump pulls out now, as all these angry little MAGA factions say, we don't want to be involved in the war over there. If Trump pulls out and the regime keeps getting the billions of dollars of currency, that doesn't work. Trump wants to stop the flow of oil, funding Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis and the instability of the Middle East. He also wants China to know that he is hovering over that island right now. And if he hits that island, it's going to affect China because that's where they're relying on oil processes. So he says, why don't you come over and help us? Well, China hasn't necessarily responded like some other countries that don't want to. Now that the tariff decision was made by our Supreme Court, that incentive has been dropped. And so some countries are beginning their pushback on the United States. And so Trump basically says, well, you wanted me to come over to your country. I don't think I'm going to do that meeting. I'm going to put that meeting on hold. What's he saying? If you don't honor me and what I'm doing to protect safe passage of oil for you, I want you to be a healthy economic partner. I don't want you going down. I need you on your feet. But I need the United States to be respected for its role in the global economy. So he said, I don't think I'm going to go to China. I'll cancel that party. And so everything with him is a strategic component. That's the reason why I'm going to remind you again, during this fluctuation, oil prices going up to $100 a barrel, everybody freaks out. Gas prices go up. Trump says it's all going to come down and level out very fast once the emotional anxiety of what's going on with the Hormuz has been dealt with, which is why he wants to get these other countries there. But folks, that kind of fickle emotional condition in America that as the stock market go up, stock market go down, you gotta know something, you gotta guard yourself. That's why I've been telling people all along, I said, just get the report on putting your money, your paper assets into gold and silver because it's a store and a container of value that's been there for thousands of years. China's getting gold, rubber, Russia's getting gold. All the banks are getting gold. You know why? They don't know where the yuan and the dollar might be. And depending on the instability and unpredictability of the future. But gold continues to go, go. Silver continues to go go. And I told people silver a while ago, Anyway, go to lancewallnut.com gold and be smart. Take a look at the report and take care of yourself. All right, play video 6.

C
When Trump says the United States has literally destroyed most everything on Carg island, you know, just thinking, I've been on a different island than this around an island in the Gulf. These are flat, flat sand spits, in a sense. So what did Trump hit, you know, given that topography?
- [11:11]
D
So what he hit basically was the airfield right here. And then you have things like salmon placements in areas like this, the surface to air missiles, and also potentially artillery and other areas like this. So these are the kinds of things that they would go after. And these are the target sets that an island like this would have. Because what you're talking about here, Erin, is an island that handles about 90% of Iran's oil exports. So it's basically a transshipment terminal. And what he's doing here is he's taking out the military aspect of this, and that's why the target set looked like this.
- [11:47]
C
All right, so, and as you're pointing out, not every. Some of. Some of this is just going to be pure oil infrastructure, which they didn't take all of that out. I know that they'll say a lot of that is vital to the irgc, but also would have civilian use. So what are the biggest, biggest targets left? I'm just looking at some of those. So the remains that look like oil storage.
- [12:06]
A
Right?
- [12:06]
D
So that's exactly it right here. So what you're looking at here is like this oil tank farm in this area right here. This is an area where he could absolutely hit that. Then the other thing that you have are these jetties right here. So all the ships that come in, all the tankers that come in, they would use these jetties in order to unload the oil and then take it out of the area into the Persian Gulf from Kharg island all the way down through the Strait of Hormuz, and then out to be exported to various other countries.
- [12:33]
A
And what does that mean? Well, it means that Trump is now in this phase of the war. He is intercepting their ability now to handle their own economic infrastructure and feed the regime financially. This is the brilliant endgame, Trump with economics. And it's also why 5,000 Marines may be heading into the Strait right now in order to occupy this. Wouldn't be boots on the ground in terms of deployment in Iran. It would be occupying the island so that it is a base. Now, of course, the Iranians, in their insanity, they might want to blow up their own economic engine and attack it. But that's a question as to how desperate the regime is. But it looks to us as though you might be seeing that Trump might be occupying that island, which essentially puts the US in charge of that oil resource. We'll be right back. We're entering a period of time that has increased hostility against people of faith. It's a time when Christians are going to be tested on a moral, physical, psychological and even a financial basis. I'm here to remind you that God is the one who has blessed you thus far and he will take care of you in the future. You have a divine responsibility, however, to see trouble and prepare yourself. For example, with record inflation eating away at the value of the US Dollar, the savings in your retirement account is in danger of slipping away. I Recommend Diversifying your 401 or IRA out of paper assets and into physical gold. And the best way to do that is with a gold IRA from birchgold Group. Now that includes no penalties. There's no taxes when you transfer current retirement funds into Birch Gold. To see how it works, I want you to go to lanswellnut.com birch and get your free info kit. And you'll be glad that you did. The Deep State shakeup continues. Ladies and gentlemen, as someone who has been part of the Republican establishment resigns, oddly enough, because of Joe Kent didn't think there was a reasonable threat from Iran. I want you to watch how Wolf Blitzer covers this story on video.

Cut two Breaking news this morning.
- [15:05]
D
We just learned, get this, the director
- [15:07]
E
of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has just announced he's resigning. CNN National Security reporter Zachary Cohn is
- [15:16]
A
joining us right now.
- [15:16]
E
Zachary, what more can you tell us about this dramatic development?
- [15:20]
F
Yeah, well, this appears to be a significant resignation at the senior most levels of the Trump intelligence community. This is Joe Kent. He was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He posting, appearing to post on X a resignation letter that he submitted citing misgivings over the Trump administration's decision to launch its war with Iran. Now Kent in this letter writes in part, quote, as a veteran who deployed, deployed to combat 11 times and as a gold star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives. Now Kent, in his apparent post on X does also seem to suggest that there was no imminent threat, that it has been used and cited by the Trump administration as justification for launching this war against Iran. He says that essentially the administration manufactured this idea of an imminent threat and that is part of the reason why he is deciding to resign from his post today.
- [16:27]
A
That's a very bold statement there, Joe. You know what bothers me? I remember promoting Joe Kent. Didn't he run? I think he ran for Congress and didn't make it, but you know, ran as a MAGA Guy. And it's so, so disappointing when, and it happens to all of us when you get behind somebody and you're, you're a fan and you're helping them, and then they kind of go off the reservation like this. So I want to hear. I got my own thoughts on this, but want you guys to hear what Speaker Johnson has to say about the claim. There is no imminent threat. Why do we even have to do this thing?
- [17:03]
G
That proposition at the end is clearly wrong. I'm on the Gang of Eight. I got all the briefings. We all understood there was clearly an imminent threat, that Iran was very close to the enrichment of nuclear capability and they were building missiles at a pace that no one in the region could keep up with. They were far outpacing our allies and friends and us in our defense capability because we had personnel, installations, members of the armed services and civilians in the region. Iran was building up ballistic missiles at such a rapid pace, and we knew that their plan was to fire them upon Americans. The Commander in chief and his administration had a very difficult decision to make. I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information, but he wasn't in those briefings, clearly, because the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War and everyone, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Kaine, they had exquisite intelligence. And we understood that this was a serious moment for us. Had the President waited, I am personally convinced that we would have mass casualties of Americans, service members and others, and our installations would have been dramatically damaged. And so we had to. The President felt that he had to strike first to prevent those mass casualties.
- [18:19]
A
Look, Operation Rising lion. Remember that, that 12 day or whatever initial round we had where we had the exploit of the bombs going out and supposedly taking out or, you know, messing up their underground nuclear capacity. What is interesting is that when Iran was negotiating with the United States leading up to this last conflict, this most recent one, they boasted that they had, and this was always a concern of ours, that they had access to barrels, 400 kg of enriched plutonium that only needed. That was, you only need like 20% enriched in order to pass the threshold of being used for domestic uses, like, you know, reactors for, for energy. And when you go beyond that, you're trying to create a bomb, you're trying to create a weapon. And they had already gotten to 60% and they were using this as a cautionary warning that, hey, we're already down the road. Let's tap the brakes before you push us too far. And that was all that Trump had to hear, because he doesn't want them having the nuclear option. And so that was part of where. I don't understand why Joe Kent couldn't have access to that. I'm sure he did. I'm sure that there's a lot of Republicans that, you know, they're not maga, they're in Washington. I can't tell you how many can't wait for Trump to leave because I've talked to them. They just can't stand him because he is him. And he has a way of rattling the system because he's not there for them. He's there for the future of America. And I think that Trump acted prophetically. I believe that what he did was he intercepted the timeline that Satan has for being able to create a premature Third World War conflict. This regime understand the theology and the eschatology of the Shia cleric world. These are spirits that deceive you when you get into these, these, these counterfeit or false, false religions. The premise is that there is a 12th Imam, an emerging world ruler, someone who is going to come out of the bowels of the Shia faith of Islam, who is going to rise during a period of global cataclysmic conflict, who will become the ultimate peacemaker and basically establish the supremacy of Allah over the globe. What that talks about, oddly enough, is the Antichrist that the Bible talks about, which is a ruler that comes when they say peace. Peace. There is no peace. Probably what you're looking at is some nuclear thing like in the future could be Iran again. And it's going to be. There'll be mass casualty events and the world will be embroidered in a meltdown. We're looking at a biblical scenario here. I know some of you are rolling your eyes. Hey, this is what the Bible's remarkably accurate in predicting things. And it talks about a global reset economically where there's 10 global geopolitical leaders that are working with one unified system in order to manage. And everybody has to be systematically receiving the same ID so that they control and vet who is part of the system and who isn't. And that's where the mark of the beast comes from in the Book of Rev. Remarkably accurate what's happening with AI and with technology now and with the frontier zone of what goes on with vaccines, where a nano, a nanotechnology can be injected into you at a microscopic level and actually track you or be used as a data point for your identity. These things are not that far out there. And believe me, there's no dictator in the world that wouldn't want to have control of those apparatuses. What I will tell you is this, that Trump said it accurately. He said, if I didn't do this now and literally take down the power of that nuclear ambition with this regime, it would come back later, in a couple of years, perhaps, and a weaker president will end up in a position where a ballistic missile can come right out of a submarine and land in the United States. Imagine, you know, President Buttigieg or Harris or Newsom having to make those decisions. They're going to go, peace, peace. They're going to compromise like the European intellectuals do with Islam and with the one world global system. Trump is the saving intervention of a providential leader brought up at a certain point in time who is actually acting to secure the hemisphere for peace. From Greenland all the way down to Venezuela, including Cuba, he's marking this hemisphere for America's protection and for its economic development. He is putting up a wall between the influence of European wokeism and One World Davos governance and the rising power of communist China. He sees those threats with the shrewdness of a leader who understands the real world that's out there, who isn't constrained by political alliances and hush money or funding that requires him to have to turn a blind eye to something. So he took initiative, and you know this in your gut, he took the initiative to be able to go in. Because if this clerical regime can instigate a global war, their theology says they end up winning because the 12th Imam, their Mahdi, their Messiah, will suddenly emerge on the world scene. And the Bible describes that man exactly as the Antichrist. So. So I don't know, but I'm glad that Joe Kent isn't there, because the last thing you need is have someone at that high level of infrastructure in the, you know, surveilling terrorism, and they don't even agree with their own president in terms of the understanding of what the threats are. So let me put that aside. What's happening now? Oh, we only got 1 minute and 40, 52 seconds left. I want to set something up here. Right now, the SAVE Act, Save America act is being debated the Senate. Trump has forced thune to make this thing where the Democrats are going to have to get up and talk and give sound bites as to why it is that they are against the passing of voter id. Do you guys have the. The tweet that was done by. Who is it? Mike Lee, Right, Senator Mike Lee. Let me read that real quick. Senator Mike Lee. I don't think you guys printed it out for me, but he's got. Is it a video? Play the video. Let me hear what he has to say.
- [25:29]
E
It's been about two years since Chip, Roy and I wrote the SAVE act, which later became the Save America Act. Tomorrow this is going to come to fruition as the Save America act comes to the floor of the United States Senate. I invite all within the sound of my voice who would like this bill to become law to reach out to as many people as possible. Friends, neighbors, especially United States Senators who might listen to you. Ask them, please get this passed. Tell them we need to invoke the talking filibuster in the United States Senate. No, zombie filibuster will suffice on this one. We've got to turn to this bill. We've got to debate it, and we've got to stay on the bill until it becomes law. There can be no surrender. There can be no ifs, ands, or buts. There can be no cheap imitations here. The Republic is on the line. Let's get this done.
- [26:22]
A
Jeff Challers says this in his great little coffee and Covid blog, which I always love to read. He says that Thune is talking about a hybrid talking filibuster, meaning Democrats who want to block the bill will have to physically stand on the Senate floor live on C Span in front of everybody and cogently make their case for why proving you're an American citizen before voting in American elections is just too risky and too dangerous. And so Trump has it set up so that all the Democrats will put themselves out there and explain why the. Why you don't want identification of people when they vote. And I think it's going to be. It's going to work against them, as you can see. Is this our last segment? Matt, I have to end. I can't believe it. Well, I'm not done. I've got more to say. Come back tomorrow because I want to tell you about what Trump is giving to JD Vance to help him in his presidential aspirations. Marco Rubio sucking up all the oxygen in the room. So Trump's going to give a win to JD And a big assignment, and I'm going to announce it on the next broadcast. You don't want to miss it. Did you enjoy this latest episode?
