BREAKING: Iran & United States Trade Strikes! Ft. Nick Fuentes

[BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] Israel to kind of expose, honestly, how little power we have, what are your general thoughts on that? When you made that mention, I was like, this is actually really good because it shows a huge weakness that we have in foreign policy that we really can't reel these guys in. As much as Trump might have this tough rhetoric, I'm like, do you listen to me and all this other shit? It's not true. Right. Well, there's a few things. I would say that, you know, because the question is, why would Iran insist upon cease-fire and Lebanon as a condition for the cease-fire? And you could say first that, like you said, Hasbullah is a very powerful. It's really a part of their strategic deterrence against Israel. There's three things Iran uses to deter Israeli aggression, and that's the nuclear hedge. It's a ballistic missiles, and it's a proxies, because all of those function as a second strike. If Israel strikes Iran such that the regime is decapitated or decimates Iran, there's three ways that Iran could then retaliate to ensure that Israel would never do a first strike, and that's that Iran might then nuke them, too, that Iran would send thousands of ballistic missiles, overwhelm air defenses, and destroy Israel with the conventional arsenal. And then the third is even if Iran was completely decimated, no missiles, no nukes, then Hasbullah could always finish the job. They could launch their 150,000 rockets. That now is much smaller arsenal, but they launch them all once Israel would be decimated that way, too. So it's all part of their arsenal. So you could say one, Iran really needs Hasbullah to be protected as a check on Israel. Two, you could say, and I think this is interesting also, does Iran want a ceasefire? I don't even think Iran needs or wants a ceasefire. They actually, it's in their interest for the war to go on longer, because longer that the war goes on, it is an economic catastrophe for the United States, and the more painful economically it is for the US, it does two things. One, it prevents the US from continuing the war, and more likely that they'll want to withdraw. But two, if you impose a lot of pain in this conflict, it deters a future conflict, because especially for the US consumer and voter, but also for the whole world, if the US ever feels like invading Israel, or excuse me invading Iran, ever again, everyone is going to say, oh, and we're going to cause another global depression like the last time. So it benefits Iran actually for this to really hurt the United States. And that's how they strategically defeat us as the economics. But like you said, I think there's maybe another, there's maybe a more subtle play, which is if you condition the ceasefire, or rather if you condition the opening of the straight on a ceasefire in Lebanon, you pit those two interests against each other because they're, these are imperatives. It's imperative for Israel's grand strategy, their entire, their entire playbook to occupy Lebanon. They can't not do it. It's imperative for them. It is imperative for the United States to open up the straight, can't not do it. Because if we don't have the straight, then we don't have oil. We don't have oil. You don't have an economy. You don't have cheap lending. The whole AI house of cards collapses. People don't even realize how much closing the straight effects are economy because our entire economy is being driven now by AI. It's those AI companies and the companies that fund AI or furnish AI with the compute, with the chips, that's all of our economic growth. It's all being driven by the AI companies, the chip companies and companies like Google and Microsoft. That's driving all of it. They're driving the real estate. There's not even any commercial building anymore. It's all data centers. And AI is run on cheap electricity. You need cheap energy to have cheap electricity so that it's economical to have all this AI. So if you don't have cheap electricity, it's no longer economical or profitable to build the data centers. So they've actually stopped 50% of all currently in progress and plan data centers because the cost of energy is going up. So it acutely affects the source of our economic growth, which is because AI is all about electricity. It's all just getting as much energy as possible and that's exactly what we're in as an energy shortage. But then also you also realize that these AI companies, they're all financed by borrowing. They're borrowing tons of money to finance the data centers on this hope that AI is going to transform the economy fundamentally. Well, if the money is no longer cheap to borrow, then all these companies go down. So I just want to slash rates so badly, because there's no profits. You know, the AI companies, chat GPT, Claude, Google, like, they don't make money. They don't make enough money to make up for all these investments. So what's going to happen is when, when the cost of energy goes up, it causes inflation everywhere else. When inflation goes up, they need to raise rates to slow down and cool off the economy. You raise interest rates to make borrowing more expensive. Now it's impossible for this speculative AI bubble to keep growing. So it's not, it's not even a conventional energy shock that leads to a recession, which is what always happens in 73 in the 90s, in 2008, energy shock leads to a contraction. This is really hitting us where it hurts, which is the source of all the GDP growth. It's the AI boom in particular, which is all based on speculation and again, getting as much energy as possible. So point being, we have to open up the straight. We need the energy. And so by pinning these two imperatives against each other, it breaks up the coalition, because people don't realize it's not. It's not. I think this typically did it honestly. I think Iran was like, you know what? Let's prove to the world that the United States cannot control Israel. And these guys are rogue state. I think that's, I think it's less that, like red-pilling the world and more causing just a breakdown in the solidarity, because it is a coalition war. People don't realize. It's not the US versus Iran. It's really a four-way thing. It's the US, Israel and the GCC and even within the GCC, there's tension between Qatar and the rest of them, between the UAE and Saudi, especially lately. So it's this huge coalition going against Iran that Iran now wants to break apart and so division. And this is where Iran is like cutting side deals with Qatar. They told Qatar, if you don't help the United States carry out strikes and, and more over, if you stop producing LNG, we won't hit you anymore. Because if we don't hit you, then you don't have to like rebuild your infrastructure. And if you don't produce LNG, it puts more pressure on the United States. People, I don't think people understand like how badly Qatar got hit. Like I think in March, Iran bombed LNG, which for those that don't know, that's 20% of the world's gas right there. And that was built up to kind of circumvent Russia's influence on gas. So the fact that they destroyed that gas in a verily forced everybody to go back to Putin and say, oh, can we get the cheap gas again from Russia? And he was able to, you know, bring the prices up and now they're making money hand over it, especially with the oil too. So like, and they said that that's going to be out of commission if we stop the war now for at least a year, right, even if we stopped it. Exactly. So, you know, Iran is breaking apart that coalition and what's more, Israel is really the one that's out for a gym change. You know, there's a very, and I always say this on my show, you need to understand the fundamental strategic interest that is driving every country involved. Because for the US and Israel, it's similar, but not identical. Israel's pursuing regime change. That's what they want in particular. That's the ultimate goal is they don't want a revolutionary Islamist Shiite, 12th or the ocracy running Iran. That's got to go. They don't want normalization. They don't want peace. They want the regime out. The US does not care. They would prefer it's a different regime, but they're ambivalent. But they really care about as non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. So, if we could get no nukes or no enrichment, but keep the Iranian regime, we'd take that deal. And so, what Iran is doing is they're driving a wedge between the US and Israel on the conflict, Lebanon versus the strait, but also even on that nuclear issue. And if they can divide up the US and Israel, Israel can't do regime change alone. They need the United States. So it's actually imperative for Iran to deprive Israel of their ally, the United States, to carry out their goal, which is the regime change. So I think that's maybe like a subtle 5D chest thing that Iran is doing, because realistically, if Iran really needed the war to end, would they insist upon a ceasefire in Lebanon? I mean, maybe not necessarily, but I think they're throwing that out there because then it puts the US in the position where to get the, you know, Iran, we have a deal with them. Now we need to put pressure on Israel to uphold the deal. So I think that might be intentional. And I agree with you on that because, you know, these guys have been sanctioned for what, 50 years. Like to them, it's like, okay, we've already been sanctioned and you made a great, great poor earlier. For them, it's like they never want to get hit again, right? Obviously, the 12-day war was not fun for them. They barely evaded, you know, almost a decapitation strike. Then they got hit again in February. So it's like, I think at this point, they're just tired of being able to get struck, so they want to completely destroy the United States and Israel's ability to ever hit them again. I think that's why they're like, we'll drag this thing on. We don't care. I also do think that they are sensitive to the midterms. I think they know that Trump doesn't have as much time as he's letting on, you know, politically. And I think from what, like me and you were discussing, that's right. Like these midterms might actually be the first time that someone's actually removed. Right. You know, I think who are the president? Bill Klan, Nixon resigned, Nixon knew who's going to be cooked. Trump, and then I'm trying to think, was any other president? Andrew Johnson was impeached and removed and Nixon resigned. Trump was impeached, Clinton was impeached, but Clinton was removed from office. Okay. But then he got back, but he finished his term, so he did, he actually did. He got impeached. So he just got indicted. Yeah. Yeah. But he didn't get convicted for the false statements. Right. Right. I don't know. Have started with that woman. Yeah. Dude. That's crazy. And then all Andrew Johnson was removed from office. I don't believe. He was impeached though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's either way, it's like a very rare thing for it to happen because it requires an enormous amount of votes. Yeah. You got to have like two thirds of the Senate. Yeah. Majority announced. Two thirds of the Senate. It's, which is a lot, you know, to get you out of there. And I think Donald Trump is probably going to be probably the most egregious offender of all. He might be the first. Yeah, he might be the first to actually get it, man. So I was like, like, because in my mind, I'm just thinking of like how the Democrats are going to attack him. And I just like the kinetic strikes with, with, with, with hexeth, the, the Iran war, the ice raids, um, the money, right? You talked about this extensively yesterday where, um, you know, was it Latinx sons, like doing some bullshit with like, uh, like, uh, with futures or whatever, with the tariffs and everything or, yeah, with the tariffs, the tariffs. Yeah, because they, they did some deal where if the tariffs were refunded, uh, that they were going to profit from that financially, something like that. Yeah. And that's exactly what happened as a Supreme court overturned the, the emergency tariffs. And now they got to be refunded. And I think there's some financial interest then that Howard Lutnik gets because of that. Yeah. I don't remember all the details, but the biggest thing is in DHS. We're Christy, no, the allegedly is dating Corey Lewandowski. And there, there was some kind of thing where they're, they're getting favorable contracts through DHS for people that they know is, is kind of the basic, that's the gist of it. The Wall Street Journal was on to them. They did a big hit piece about it. And I'd even heard about that because I have some friends in DHS and they would tell me it's just like egregious. What's going on? And it's, it's not just air. It's, it's all over the place. Like you said, the D.O.J. You got everywhere. Yo, yeah, yeah. In the D.O.J. they say, um, it's this Russian billionaire name, Epstein. Okay. Not Epstein, but Epstein. Russian billionaire. They say he runs the D.O.J. This is very, no one knows this by the way. Okay. But I was told by certain sources that, uh, that that's like the big, that's like another big scandal waiting to happen. Boris Epstein, Russian billionaire has huge influence in the D.O.J. They say, basically runs it. Interesting, interesting. Yeah. So this, this kind of stuff is going on everywhere. And I think that, because, because I remember for those you guys, remember when we did the club of cost. We were talking about this in the, in the, in the party bus, right? Besides us, you know, playing some choice music. I remember talking about this. Like, yeah, they're stealing. Like they're, they're, the, the administration is doing a bunch of BS behind the scenes. And then, you know, obviously, this was before Christy. No, I'm resigned. I think this was after before Pambani resigned. I think had Bungino left at that point. No, Bungio didn't leave. No, he was still there. He was still there too. So, like, there's just so many, like, and you just look at all the people, right, that are, that are there. And I think, I think Bungino kind of saw the writing on the wall. And he said, it was like, I got to get out of here. He did. There were leaks. Yeah. Because he was complaining and basically saying, like, I lost everything because I, who's making millions of dollars? He had a podcast. Like, and he had a career. He gave it all up to be in the FBI. And he goes, we can't even do anything. Yeah. You know, and, and I can understand, me just putting on, like, my former agent had on, like, as a deputy director, you're kind of powerless, dude. You can't really, you're the number two guy. So it's like, it's really cash and Pamb making all the real decisions, right. And, and then obviously the Epstein file thing was like really bad because like, both cash and Bungino were talking about this extensively before, before getting on. So for like them to have the Epstein, the buckle, it was like, oh, and then obviously he's going to take a credibility hit because it's like, well, you've got to go back to broadcasting after this. What are you going to do? And then like, these guys aren't making that much. You're, you're, you're, you know, you're a director. You're probably making some of between 170 to 200 some thousand, which, you know, that's great money for sure. But like, when you're making that much money a month, right. It's like someone like a Bungino. That's like, what the hell am I doing here? Right. Right. And obviously, I think his wife was still running the show, but she's not going to be able to pull the same numbers and everything else like that. So like, from, for him, from his perspective, he was like, I got to get out of here. And then I think you also saw the writing on the wall with all the other crap that was going on more than likely. So he was like, I got to get out because I found it crazy. How like, he only left after a year. But then like, when I started thinking about it, like, yeah, you don't really have any rope. You can't do anything. You're just, you're the, you know, deputy cast someone making the decision. And even he's not really the boss, because Pam Bondy is, and then the other thing about the FC files, while like, it kind of killed them was, and I was saying this forever. The FBI only has a segment of the files. Like, FC and had a criminal case that was run by the FBI. But he also, we know, we know he was like, an intel asset for like, for, for an eight, for a four country. So you know, the CIA is going to have a file. The D.I. is going to have a file, you know, NSA, all these different intelligence components are going to have a file on Epstein. Well, Pam Bondy has no power over these guys. And cash or doesn't have any power over these guys. So even if they were to be transparent, and here's everything we got at DOJ, the other intel agents could say, well, we don't want to share. And then boom, they take the hit because, you know, most Americans don't know that like, a government is extremely, you know, bureaucratic and compartmentalized where it's like, one agency might release everything. But another one, I say, no, we're not gonna, right? Or, or, the FBI might have information from the CIA, but they can't put it out publicly because it's not their info. And they have to get like a third agency rule. Like, oh, can I, you know, declose by this? No, you can't. It's ours. So it's like, and again, I'm just like giving different scenarios here. But I could see why it was so difficult. And there was like, like, for Pam, for cash and then, obviously, Bongino, and he was like, I got to get the fuck out of here. And then you add in all the other crap. I mean, you know, because when you said that back in January, that really had me thinking, like, what the fuck? And then right after bam, Bongino gone. Cash Mattel, they're talking about firing him. Uh, Pam Bonnie gone. Christy, you know, gone. Who else? Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard, gone. Uh, Joe Kent. Joe Kent. Um, Mike Walsh was already gone, right? With the same brigade, I think. He's still there though as the UN ambassador. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's literally, yeah. Right. So that's crazy. Yeah, you go from that security advisor to the fucking, like, you're the UN bitch now. Like, yeah, it's insane. Yeah. Like that guy will never, ever, ever get fired. But Tulsi Gabbard, she's got to go, you know, even Pam Bondi, you know, it's funny. I didn't like Pam Bondi. She comes from Florida. She's competent. Yeah. I was shocked. They made her attorney general is insane. Yeah. Well, you know why that is. Susie Wiles brought all these people in. She's a chief of staff. She's from Florida. She's from Valor. So she brought in Rubio wall. It's Bondi. These are all Florida creatures. But the thing even about Pam Bondi, she wasn't even actually the worst because a lot of the really mega people in DOJ, they said Bondi would actually let the more Trump loyal people do these indictments. They were working on some big indictments. And when Todd Blanche got in, they shut it all down. Like Blanche is actually worse than Bob as bad as Bondi is. And she's terrible. And she fucking sucks. Blanche is even worse. But this is just like a story. He came in and shut down and flashed it. Yeah. He shut down the indictments against the enemies or yeah, against some of the Democrat flows. Yeah. Oh, why do you why do you shut it? I would think he's not, he's not like a big mega guy. Pam Bondi was letting because he was letting it happen. Yeah, because you know, I knew people working in Trump admin number one. And what they would say about how the government works at in the White House and the admin is basically it comes down to if too low, very low level bureaucrats disagree, it gets kicked up. If those middle level bureaucrats disagreed, it gets kicked up. And it keeps getting kicked up until it gets like a cabinet level. And then it goes up to the president. And so it's really about these people that are in kind of like the middle and lower positions. You know, are they going to be able to have the discretion to do what they need to do that? That's really what it comes down to in a lot of these situations. And so someone like Pam Bondi, she was actually doing her job in a sense that she was letting the underlings who are MAGA work on the indictments. And there's actually some good stuff coming down the pike. But then she gets kicked out. She was a little bit more laissez faire. She wasn't intervening to shut these things down. She wasn't as activist. But now the blanches and he's much more strict about what they're able to do. And he doesn't believe really in that. He doesn't believe in doing all the indictments. So that's gotten a lot slower and basically shut down. Like nothing news coming with Blanchon charge. You know what? That makes perfect sense because you think about it under under Bondi John Bowen kind of died it. Latisha. Latisha. Latisha. What's your last Jack the James in New York. James out of New York. I'd indicted. Comey got a guy got a guy hit right. And then they reach. I think they indicted him. It failed. Then they recharge them. Yeah. And then Latisha. Same thing because I think they the United States attorney out of Virginia or something like that wasn't confirmed or properly. And so they're like, oh, well, you know, this indictment's going to be gone. So they're refiling it. So yeah, I mean, that that makes sense that. So you're saying Blanch is like way more. He's worse. He's like, hey, let's not indict all these people, etc. Let's not go after them. Yeah. He's not letting them go back because he's scared of like the potential retaliation when they're out of there. He just doesn't support it from a policy point of view. He's not in favor going after these people. Yeah. So Bonnie was letting them go after it. And he's he's shut the whole thing down. So he was a fence attorney before, wasn't he? He was a government. I don't know his background. I think he was and Brett, can you double check for me real quick? I think he was a part of Trump's like legal team when he was dealing with the with the document case out of New York when they ended up the first time. I think it was on his like legal team. Todd Blanch, Todd Blanch. But like, yeah, so no, because it really got me to thinking I was like, damn, like all these people are going out. So like, yeah, cash had the issues that he had like drinking alcohol too much, partying, taking a jet around his girlfriend, getting a security detail, um, you know, the Epstein files, Pam Bonnie, same thing. Uh, and, you know, but Bongino being the number two guy who's like, I got to get the fuck out of here. Uh, hexa with the kinetic strikes. Um, I'm trying to think here, Rubio, if they would go after him for anything, um, I can't think of, no, you know, it's funny. Rubio, you know, I shouldn't even say, I just like to get of how they're going to like go after them when, when Rubio's people are the most competent. Yeah. And listen, listen, you're right. Yeah. I do not support Rubio at all, not, not even slightly. It's not, I'm not saying, but I'm saying like, this is not me trying to like, say anything to promote him. Like if he's the nominee, I would vote Democrat. I would consider that, you know, like, because he's that bad. However, what is funny about Rubio, so he's a secretary state, state department is on lock. Those are the most competent people in DHS is probably the worst. That's like the most R guys, like the most, yeah, like, uh, based people are probably in DHS, like, [BLANK_AUDIO] or maybe the most aligned and state department, they got that shit on lock like they are the most confident there and they run it like a tight ship, Rubio, surprisingly, he's a very formidable opponent because he knows what he's going to do. I've always said it like, you know, I don't think there's any shame in admitting this. He's an extremely refined and good politician. We don't, we don't support that like we like his policies or whatever he's it owned by the J's and everything else. But I think we can both say, so is that no is a refined politician, you know, because he's, I think the one thing that like man, yeah, who can do is he can blend every time I watch the speeches. I'm like, this guy, all this guy does is like make Israel's problems, America's problems. You know, yeah, we call these terrorists to name a little boy by the way, they were trying to target you guys to like, it's like, he's able to always like bring in Israeli issues and somehow make them American issues and show either like what we're doing here benefits you guys as well. And I think that's something that really only he's been able to do. Like, I don't think any other Israeli prime minister has been able to like, you know, use Israel problems and or justify us, you know, ate so much as to like, we're taking a care of the problem for you guys around the front lines. But like, but yeah, I agree with you that like of all the mall rubios for sure, the most refined politician doesn't mean he's good. I mean, as like staff, yeah, like people in admins say that state department, like they're the only ones that know what they're doing, they're competent and like, you know, they're ideologically aligned with Ruby, oh, Vance too, they say that Vance's people are very competent and effective, but these other people at DOJ, a DHS and these other departments, I mean, they don't know what the fuck they're doing. And like, that's so typical. I told people would be like this because at the end of the day, Trump is just incompetent. Yeah. You know, it's so many people scribe to malice, you could easily ascribe it to incompetence. They just don't know what they're doing. It's so classic because, you know, Trump, the first term, everybody said, well, he couldn't get his agenda through because the personnel were terrible. That was the headline all the time. Swap creatures with us. Yeah. It's all these different excuses. It was bad advisors, bad personnel. They said, you know, because in 16, Trump had this website called greatagain.org where they were soliciting people to volunteer to work in his administration from like everywhere, as opposed to these like swamp creature, you know, alumni from the different Republican campaigns or the Bush admin. So they had this website called greatagain.org where they said, send us your resume. You could come and work in the government, be part of the revolution. They didn't use that at all. And of course, you know, then they brought in like Bush, Jeb Bush, alum, Rubio alum, Cruz alum, and not those people all hated Trump. We used to joke in DC back in those days, if you had worked for the Trump campaign, it made you less likely to get a job in the Trump White House. They say, oh, you work for the Trump campaign. You're disqualified. We don't want you because the people who were running it were like establishment Rhino types, you know. And so that was the big excuse. They said, well, why did Trump not pull us out of Syria? Because the generals were lying. You know, they wouldn't carry out the orders. They would lie about the troop totals. And there was some truth to that. But in 24, they said, well, it'll be different this time because, you know, this time the posters are in control. Our guys are going to be in the admin. And it's like, you actually have like based people in the administration. You have a lot of them. Like the personnel, anyone will tell you there's a lot of people in like national security council which were good. And there were people in the Pentagon that were good and people in DHS that were good. But now Trump himself is holding back the personnel. The personnel are more radical than him. So the personnel, for example, in Homeland Security, they want to do mass deportations. They want a wall. They're fucking furious about what is happening. Trump doesn't want to build the wall anymore. Yeah. I have that. I don't want to say how I know that. But it's Trump that doesn't, he doesn't want to do it. He says, we don't need it anymore. We have, you know, the military there. We have other means of securing the border. We don't need a wall. Trump is holding them back. So, you know, before we would say the personnel and the advisers are holding, we need to unleash Trump so he can be himself and do what he needs to do. Now it's like the personnel is being held back by him. His incompetence, his lack of follow through. In some cases, he's just betraying the core promises of what, you know, we were all about in 2016. So, and I said this in 24 and I knew it was going to happen when he threw Project 2025 under the bus. Remember them? Yes. Project 2025 at Heritage. It was, it was two things. It was a white paper, a policy, a 93 page white paper where they said, this is what we're going to do in every department and agency. How we're going to make America great again. And that's what got the headlines because people said it's very radical. The Democrats freaked out when they saw it. Right. Like they were, are you, are you? I remember vividly. Do you support Project 2025? That was like what everyone was asking during the 25th. Yeah. People forget it was huge. Big deal. In addition to that, it was also, do you support, right during one of his public debates or interviews? He denied it. Like I'm idle. You know, I don't know. I said, I got nothing to do with that. And which there's some truth to that. But it was also a personnel database. They put together a database of like, you know, very Trump loyal, ideological, America first people that they were going to use schedule F, reclassify a bunch of federal workers, fire them, you know, because a lot of them have these protections. You know, an incoming administration can only hire and fire about 5,000 people. If you reclassify a lot of the workers, you can fire like up to 50,000. And so the idea was we're going to fire 50,000 people. Some of them were just not even going to replace. But the ones that we do, we're going to replace them with guys that are vetted, guys that are loyal to Trump, loyal to the agenda. And what Trump said in like January 23 and then into 24 is he said, no, Project 2025 has no control over that. He said, I want them to work with America first policy institute, AFPI, which was, that's like the official MAGA think tank. It's run by Brooke Rollins, who's now the secretary of agriculture. And they are the worst, like they're the biggest rhinos of all time, America last, like they are so establishment, it's not even funny. And Trump basically said Project 2025 either needs to defer completely to AFPI or they can have no influence. At the end of the day, he disavowed them like three or four times, they got totally pushed out. And that's when it, that's when I disavowed Trump, because at that point is about June 24. I said, it's very clear what direction this is going to go in and it's going to be just like the first term, a lot of bad personnel, not enough good personnel. But moreover, it's like Trump's judgment is compromised. He's still incompetent. Because really, I mean, there was no resistance this time. You remember in 25, it's like the left was defeated. They were eradicated. They were so weak, no ability to resist. And we had the house, Senate, White House, we had a doge, removing so fast, so much was possible. And the only reason it was squandered is because they just weren't competent. That's why tariffs didn't happen. That's why the border wall didn't happen. That's why doge didn't happen, you know, just wrong people, bad people. And you know, it's funny because like you get a lot of heat for not voting, right? And saying, hey, I'm not going to vote, etc. People always forget. I literally remember when you said, I'm not going to vote unless Trump can promise that we're not going to go to order with Iran. And I was like, one of your number one things, you need a mass deportation and no war with Iran. Those are your two things. And it happened. The war with Iran and no mass deportation. So it's like, you know, people said, you didn't have a vote, Nick. But it's like, I remember when you originally made the announcement, no war with Iran, no fucking war with Iran, I'm going to withhold my vote. And he fucking ended up doing it. And like for me, I was pissed off me. And I think this is what actually fractured the base made so many people say, no, this Iran war is highly unpopular, even people that like that voted for me and supported him. Because like for my perspective, I voted mostly for foreign policy and then obviously for immigration. Like because I was like, I grew up, we were talking about yesterday. Donald Trump is probably one of the only presidents that can actually do deportations because everyone is terrified. And I could say this from like my background, like working on ice. The thing that used to always mess us up when we did deportations was interior enforcement. Because you got to deal with the sanctuary cities, you got to deal with the mayor, you got to deal with the police department. They don't want to help you out. I vividly remember so many times I'd go to Austin, Texas, we'd have restaurants for people. Austin, we need you to come on help. They want to come. They want to show up. Even if though it was a felony warrant, they're like, wait, it's immigration related. Now we're not helping you. So it was a nightmare to do like interior enforcement. So when I saw Trump actually putting ice into these cities and doing deportations, wow, I got to get this guy credit. Because like me from the inside knows how hard it is to do interior enforcement. You know, enforcing at the borders, nothing like this, why Democrats have more deportations because everyone comes in, they catch them, throw him back out easy to have more deportations. Like, oh, blah, blah. He has more deportations than Trump. That doesn't count, buddy. It's because they had to open open borders and then they want to come in. But when I saw him doing the interior stuff, I was like, this is good. Like I was supportive of what he was doing in Minneapolis. Like Renee Good and Alex Prede, I was like, don't let this fucking scare you because these are good shoots. Like, you know, look, people lost their life horrible, but do not commit a felony and be federal agents. Like what are you doing? Like you can't do that. You know, Alex Prede had a gun on him. The other chick tried to run a guy over like, you know, obviously the Democrats were putting a enormous amount of pressure. But it kills me because I noticed that he kind of took his foot off the gas with the mass deportations to open up political leeway for the armed war. Right. And I was like, dude, seriously. Like that's when I was like, like you're you're dropping, doing the immigration. The first president actually has the balls to go in to interior enforcement, something that I've never seen ever by any administration, you know, using bourgeois, using eyes, using FBI agents, like, should I have never seen before, like using FBI agents to do immigration is nuts. Right? Because like they never want to do anything. Those guys, they're so fucking lazy, but that's a whole other conversation. So when I saw that, I was like, great, like we're actually going to get some interior enforcement. Finally, they're going to stop these sanctuary cities, dude, because like, I feel like I'm going through PTSD now. Dude, I can't tell you how many times Nick, like I would literally be having, we'd be looking for somebody. We'd ask the same locals to help. And they'd say no, because because of fucking things like that in Chicago. Insane, dude. Insane. All the best. Put it in the tanker on the guy. You know he's going to be released on this day at this time. They fucking let him out early on purpose so that you can't get him. Like and the guys like a murderer or the guy has like a long criminal history They let them go because they don't want to be the ones to be like yeah, we gave them an immigration after They'll purposely let them out early or not tell you after you put a detainer on them So it's like and we couldn't do anything to them So it's like, you know, it was absolutely insane that they wouldn't comply and this is happening all across the country So when Trump finally said you know what we're gonna go ahead We're gonna do mass deportations. We're gonna actually back ice We're gonna let them go into these countries into these cities We're gonna tell the locals if you don't fucking comply. I remember Pam Bonney sued them If you don't comply, you're gonna get sued, but then they completely bailed on it for the fucking around war Yeah, they just dropped it and it's sad because they they put all the pieces in place to do it You had the big beautiful bill which allocated 80 90 billion dollars for border enforcement And I was supposed to be for a wall for ice agents to write the infrastructure and they did it They hired 10,000 ice agents they trained the existing ones because I was told that The problem is ice has not done interior enforcement for so long Yes, that a lot of them aren't trained to do this like they just don't have the skills So they had a higher a bunch of them train a bunch of them Then they bought all these warehouses to detain the immigrants because we don't have that either and they did that You know they bought all the warehouse I saw yeah, they're trying to like sell them now they're selling them They didn't even use it like you could have done it, but and here's the best part is The left says Trump is Hitler, but Hitler was a visionary You know Hitler and it's not to like glaze Hitler whatever, but you recognize that Hitler was like a unique figure in the sense that he He was compelled by destiny and a vision and he he was an ideas man You know, he's called the man against time by some of the esoteric Hitlerists like He's played this like cosmic role in history Trump not that guy like Trump is just dumb and and I don't say that flippantly like obviously He's like a smart guy. He'd have to be smart to be president, but he does not have that political talent He doesn't have that genius because what you would have done and that situation is we're gonna go into the sanctuary cities We're gonna arrest and deport everybody. Oh our Anti-fall and left wing protesters interfering we're gonna bring in the National Guard and crush them and it's like create the crisis Solve the crisis. That's just like dictatorship 101 That's your Caesar-like figure manufacture the crisis that creates a demand for Trump to take over everything and like think about Like where the country would be if we just kept pushing in that direction like Minneapolis Okay, these Somalians are stealing all the money the whole country's against this Send in Homeland investigation send in DOJ DHS immigration Customs and border patrol and if the shit had anti-FAR fire bombing them and shooting them then bring in the National Guard and crush those people Put them in prison for 10 years like they did in Texas. They did like a fire bomb thing in Texas They send us a guy to a hundred years in prison for doing that. Yeah, yeah, it's like and good like yeah because these these Anti-fall people they are the enemy if you try to enforce the laws They're gonna become terrorists so put them in jail forever and and then a Democrat can't take them back out It's like and then if there's more protest and crush them too like this is how you get a right-wing takeover of the country But Trump doesn't have that gene if it gets bad. He goes. Oh, we got it back off. Yeah. Oh, there's protests All we got it back off Stephen. We got to stop doing the deportations. We're gonna get killed in the midterms It's like the midterms. You should even hold the midterms cancel the midterms You know what they should have done too in the Senate get rid of the filibuster get rid of the filibuster pass the save act Pass the save act have mandatory voter ID. Don't have to worry about the midterms Get all the Republicans in line to do the redistricting or the the what do you call it? gerrymandering yeah to to get as many of those seats as possible out of those Republican states Don't worry about the midterms. You see this is how you need to be thinking But it's like think about all these opportunities that are wasted from COVID and BLM in the first term Which you could have used to this in the second term you could nuke the filibuster do voter ID you could manufacture a crisis sending immigration and national guard. You could do all these things But like I said the team is retarded Pam Bondy Christy gnome these are fucking idiots dude Christy gnome. She's dressed like a Barbie doll because her husband is in a bimbo She was focusing more on like dressing up as like you know one day's ice deportation officer does the CB officer does it is a Border Patrol agent, you know she's over here like being fucking you know playing dress up and You know and here's nothing too because I noticed when you were saying before the people that were incompetent Notice how they care from the state government and then the people that were tend to be a little bit more competent J. Vance Marco Rubio. They were already a federal So you know, and then you put someone who's like a governor of what North North Dakota South Dakota from that mistake it Christy gnome as you know the secretary of DHS of course. He's not going to know what she's doing and you know and the thing also is like I think the biggest issue was that like He stopped doing the nasty portations and he stopped doing the ice stuff to create like political leeway for himself for Iran Because he knew that the ice raids were unpopular. So it's like okay. Let me just like let me listen to these fucking losers complaining and then like Stopped that a little bit so I can get more. I don't even think that's true because they were talking about winding that down in December actually Okay, so you don't even think they're around or play the role. No, I think because the earliest signals I had been talking about it on my show the earliest signals were coming in like December There was like it was even before that because that was in like the set first the second week in January it was before that I distinctly remember they were saying You know, we need a a refresh on that a refresh on the policy change the strategy that was a kind of talk that was going around from From from the deputy chief of staff a Blair in the White House from Susie Wiles Trump went to the congressional retreat in Doral and Florida right right around here And it was a Blair and Trump both came out and they said, yeah, don't use the word nasty portations We're going to talk not only about you know deporting the worst offenders the worst of the worst the war is the criminal aliens, right? Which is an Obama that's an Obama policy literally it's an Obama innovation where they say You know, we're only going to deport the worst of the worst we're going to basically pick up the murderers that the police arrest that Incidentally turn out to be illegal. That's not really a deportation policy, you know So that had been in the works and the reason it was is because they just looked at the polling and they said we're getting killed with Hispanics and we're going to just killed in general and if we want to win in the midterms We just got it back off. I think that they thought Iran would be popular. Okay, because they looked at Venezuela Which was very popular and they thought Iran would go the same way. They didn't think Iran would close the straight You know, they thought they'd be in their lickety split. It's over and I think they were just surprised and China will leverage, you know, hey, we destroyed We control Venezuela. We control Iran. That's a bunch of your oil right there And now we got Cuba as well and that's you know, which Cuba is known for obviously giving them a bunch of stolen intel like a Cuba is like the black market of our intel They steal all our shit and then sell to our adversaries So I think that's what the play was was like, you know, he wanted to go and meet ping with some with some leverage for the China Summit Because I remember when they supposed to meet Late March and then obviously the war dragged on so we had to meet in like May they push it to May. Yeah, so I think that's what his goal was But everything just backfire dude. Everything is backfire. Nothing has worked Um, you look at the mass deportations. Um, you look at obviously the Epstein files Um, shit, we got into all this with yeah, because they beat well. Yeah, no, it's good though because this is all going to be against the for the impeachment Right because that's how we started this conversation is like what are things going to happen when the impeachment now that we're talking about it Oh damn, that's a lot of issues here. Yeah, and that's what Iran, you know, Iran knows that we're we and Israel are up against a deadline Netanyahu is up against the October 27th deadline. We're November So I think it's in their interest to to basically push it to the limit and uh, you know That's why they're not in a big rush to make this look if Iran wanted a peace deal. They could have one Yeah, you know, they would come to the table, but we have no leverage They're not in any rush to do that because they're winning and this is they know this is hurting us And they know that we're on a a clock that they are not an economic clock and a political clock that they, you know, they really and you said it earlier Iran has been under sanctions regime We have this little nicky knack blockade of the state of Hormuz We say we're going to be doing uh economic damage to them by depriving them of their imports and exports They don't care. The IRGC runs that country now. What are the people going to do protest? They'll just kill them Yeah, yeah, yeah, we saw that out. What are they going to do if they get mad that they're going to protest? They killed six million of them in January and out exactly And you know the other crazy thing also when with that whole like his borrow thing is like oh yeah They're over here like killing the protests or whatever I'm like no like They're gonna side with their government over us like the only it's actually that's nothing that annoyed me What are your thoughts on like these diaspora? I call them shots arts. Like these Iranians that like live with the stupid lion uh flag And uh and LA or you know year up or whatever like yeah, we want the shot back. It's like You guys are kind of out of touch like you know P.B. He talks about this shit like all time like oh the regime and the mollus and I'm like okay You don't have to like that. It's a little whatever But I would argue that the people now are definitely backing the government more than like you know The having the shot come back. It's like they're dropping bombs on them Like Trump's talking about like we're gonna send him back to the Stone Age like you know Oh, yeah, they like we drop bombs on them. That just doesn't make sense like I've seen them like protesting getting bombed And then the then they show yeah, oh, yeah, we're getting attacked. It's like they're like not scared to die almost So it's like this is a different culture, right? And it's just like whenever people say like oh yeah They want us to bomb them or they want us to do a regime change. It's like I don't know about that one dude. I don't think they like us too much in Israel No, yeah, no way and that that's whole thing is Persian society is very insular They're very suspicious and distrusting of outsiders and so it does literally create the opposite effect you drop by the way No, I'm all set. I'm good. But um, you know Yeah, you drop bombs on them. I'm talking to it doesn't do you hear me over there? Oh, yeah, you're right over there. Okay. Yeah, no, you drop bombs on them. It's not gonna work. I mean And this idea that you're going to bomb them and then they're going to like us more because that's what Trump said in Mar-a-Lago when they started the war in February, February 28, he came out and gave that speech and it was kind of like a disturbing speech. He did it with like this black curtain. He was all disheveled, had no necktie on and he comes out and he says, we're going to decimate Iran's military and when we're finished bombing the shit out of the country, then the Iranian people are going to come out and take the government back, they're going to rise up and you say, how exactly does that calculation work? You're going to rock their shit, bomb their city, they're going to come out now and support what is basically openly a puppet regime. You know, it doesn't even make sense. But that's kind of the ill-fated logic that we've even had in Iraq. Thanks. I have a whole water here, but thank you. It's ill-fated. You know, that was the idea in Syria, that was the idea in Iraq, it's the idea in all these different countries. So, yeah, so it doesn't work. Yeah, I got you another one just in case. Thanks. Now we're going to hear a double. Now you're double fisting water. Double fisting up. It's double fisting up. Right. Actually, you know what? We could, let's talk about, we can real quick, since we're talking at the topic of like people because like we're talking about the people that got charged. We pull up the bolts and thing real quick, John Boy. And also guys, we're going to go over to kick. I'm going to end the YouTube stream. YouTube streams are going down to come on over to kickkick.com/maragainsex. I'm going to end everything except for kick. On Twitter, whatever, come on over to kickkick.com/maragainsex. That's like my mainstream platform now. So, and then we'll go over and we have a clip here with John Boy. And then we'll get into like some of the actual stuff going on with the conflict. But yeah, dude, I think this is going to be very bad for Trump when it comes to what's going on with the midterms. I mean, I think obviously we're going to lose, but like, but it's not just a loss. It's like a loss. And I think they're going to be out for blood. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's really the whole thing is. I said this even at Tucker. It's one of the few things we agreed on is when Trump does a half measure, even by winning, all you're doing is pissing off the other side. Like because think about it, if Kamala had won in 2024, she would have no mandate. Like she would have no legitimacy. Everybody would think the election was rigged. Even Democrats wouldn't like her because they believe that she was basically a usurper. You know, she didn't even win the Iowa caucus. She didn't make it to the Iowa caucus in 2020. She bowed out before even the first race. So she would be looked at as like this puppet who was installed, not popular, not legitimate, no mandate and the culture had shifted to the right under Biden. Think about under Joe Biden. People need to literally just get this through their heads. It's not always a bad thing when the enemy is in charge under Biden. Elon bought Twitter censorship got better Zuckerberg moved to the right. You know, he got his afro, he got his chain, he's talking about his wake boarding on the 4th of July. What's more, it's like wokeism basically died under Biden. He had fucked Joe Biden. Go viral. The culture moved to the right. We benefited from that and why? Because when you're in the opposition, you get so much more leeway. When you're in power, the pressure is on. You got to be competent. You got to be effective. You got to present a positive vision and you have to deal with all the contradictions of governing. You're pro Palestine, but you got to deal with Israel. Biden was getting squeezed to the benefit of the right. Think about how much more powerful the right got from 2020 to 2024. So much more powerful. And if the Democrats is stayed in, they would have been flaccid. Now that Democrats are looking very strong in 2028, they're coming back with the vengeance because everyone's pissed at Trump. Everyone's got a reason from the messy stuff to the upstein files. Iran, the bureaucratic incompetence slash corruption, every way, the inflation, every way you cut it, the Democrats are going to be empowered by being negative. And now that we've had four years of Trump, basically messing everything up, now they're going to come back with a like literally with the vengeance and they're going to have a mandate. You know, it's going to be like Zoran Mamdani. Yeah. Instead of, you know, lame Kamala, it's going to be somebody more hardcore. He's, he's, um, he's reinvigorating the Democrat party and it's actually like, when he won mayor, I was like, yeah, this guy's going to be, he's going to, he's going to revolutionize the Democrat party. They're going to move from your establishment, Democrats, like, you know, a Chuck Schumer over to or a Hillary Obama, now they're going to go into socialism. And that's what we're seeing. You know, like our Biden, yeah, you know, in the sense that, you know, Biden is old. Biden is old and demented and, you know, and weak and incompetent. And, you know, what, by putting him in and he's a joke, they supercharge the right wing. Trump is having the same effect. He's old, demented and competent. He's tapped like to, there's nothing new coming out of the MAGA movement. It's the movement's basically over. It's super corrupt, super obviously corrupt. It's having the same effect. It's super charging the left. And here's the problem is like, okay, so there's clearly an appetite for like younger, energetic, populist leadership from outside the system. And now the left is basically going to benefit from this advantage of coming in from the outside. Like in 28, they get to be the outsiders that say, Oh, look, are you fatigued with Trump? Are you fatigued with Republican Party? We have the young offering. We have the young, energetic, Israel critical, anti-establishment, economically populist offering. They actually are in the advantage by being the challenger this time around. And I, I think that I very insistent about this. If Kamala had won, we would be in a stronger position in 28. No, we are now. We would be. And let me actually add to what, because as you were talking about the left getting stronger, you're right. Look at these no-kings protests, dude, thousands upon thousands of people. Look at Antifa. They're becoming more violent. They're acting crazier. They're actually like in New Jersey. They were protesting against ice for weeks. And in front of the thing like, Oh, there's not even a thing here. We're going to go ahead and complain in New Jersey. Getting into fights. The BLM has been a bit more active with them protesting. Look at what happened with Kamala Anthony, right? And then also with Antifa, I'm saying this forever, it's crazy to me how it took Charlie Kirk getting shot for the Trump administration to finally take Antifa seriously and make them a terrorist organization. Right. I'm still waiting for them to make BLM a terrorist organization. They should make them that organization as well. And yeah, man, they've just been like out radical and they're like, it's like the left already is totally cool with protesting, hitting the streets, the free palace time movement. Look at what they're doing. They're protesting every other day in New York City. So it's like you're right, dude, they are getting more powerful. Like you you look at all the pro, they're pissed. And like like you said yesterday, I did not know that they were able to knock on 1.8 million doors. Yeah. Well, and that's insane. Think of a mayor for a mayor. Yeah. For a mayor. To be fair though, that's like hyper laugh, New York, they're off there, but it does demonstrate the energy. And you know, when it comes to Trump, for me, are we on kick, guys? Come on over. Kick that comes. That's my game. We're getting off everywhere except for kick and then you can keep the rumble up to. That's fine. Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead. The the barometer for me is like the podcast bros Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, the old one, these kinds of guys like that. That kind of gives you an insight into the mind of maybe like a normy like average person. Go point. If Trump has lost Rogan and Tim Dillon and these guys, you know, then then what's your constituency going to be in 2028? It isn't there. I don't think there's going to be an appetite for like a left wing or I don't even think they'll be that radical, but they're going to promise like economic populism back to domestic stuff. It's going to be just enough. And like if Trump were going to be successful to your point about antifa, the only the only way that Trump would have been effective and worth it for him to hold off as these four years is if he did a few things like one, he should be protecting right wingers on social media and in banking. That's the move. How do you ensure that like the right wing will even exist and get more radical? You make sure they don't get banned on social media with this. He did an executive order on like freedom of speech or whatever, but like, no, no, no, legislation. And they should have done that and they should have done something against debanking. And they should have found a way to get right wing people, a cynic here in government, like all these left wing activists are funded by NGOs through the state department. Like, you know, you've got national endowment for democracy and stuff like that. All the NGOs, that's basically a funnel to get that money into left wing activist organizations like Atlanta Council, Atlanta Council's funded by the military. They pay guys like Jared Holt to call me a white nationalist on Twitter. It's like, so you should be creating institutions to be a cynic here and actually incubate the far right and the way that the far left has been incubated by the state department. So like he's out here doing interviews among Donnie and everything. And he's as far as left as you want, you know, crazy for a left. They support him still. Yeah. So they should have gotten rid of the censorship, the debanking. They should have been funding the right wing. And then on the other side, they should have been breaking the back of the left wing institutions, breaking the back of antifa, their organization networks. They should have been going after, you know, arguably some of the left wing billionaires, the foreign financing for this stuff, that should have been the move. But, you know, it's like Trump just doesn't think like getting back to it. He's just not a political mind. He's a business mind. So for him, it's like, you know, can you point to some policy wins? Sure. Okay. Yeah. They got rid of some of the DEI. Oh, okay. Great. You know, they closed the border. That's fine. Is that actually going to change the country? No. Does it change our political prospects? No. Those are the big ones. So that's why Trump's a total failure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So let's talk real quick about John Bolton here, because you got found guilty. And this is yesterday. Special job, Bolton, is now a fellow and I have to plead guilty to unlock for attention. I'm natural defense information. He and his mustache have agreed to 2.2. $25 million dollar fine face up to 60 months of prison and for this pension Let's play a little bit of it real quick and then we'll kind of react So this is I guess price someone I'm assuming at the DOJ. Probably you're starting this morning just moments ago John Robert Bolton the second Pled guilty in federal court to the unlawful retention of national defense information According to the terms of the plea agreement Mr Bolton faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison Followed by a term of up to three years of supervised release He will also pay a fine of 2.25 million dollars and will forfeit his pension under the his act As national security advisor to the president I'm talking about how he had like all access to some of the most classified stuff So uh, what are your thoughts on that? Obviously John Bolton is like, uh, you know, you want to talk about swamp creature That is a swamp creature for real. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's good I mean he's like the archetypal Neocon he's in favor of in the architect of all these wars So it's you know, it's good that they're going after him But it's just like it's just not enough. I mean critical in the Iraq war. Yeah, very he's you know He's like the legendary he's synonymous with Neoconservatism basically. He was in the first Trump admin though They brought him in and what may or June 2018. Why don't you get rid of them? Uh, I think in subordination That's okay. Yeah, because he he was going against some of the like he wasn't a favor the withdrawal from Syria and some of the other stuff But you know, they brought Bolton in Bolton. Bolton was actually the architect of our Venezuela policy maximum pressure campaign against Venezuela Which is what created the refugee crisis, which is why they're all fucking here. They're here. Yeah, because they They basically at TPS or yeah, temperate protective status. Yeah, yeah, because they and Trump did that, you know They destroyed Venezuela's economy thinking the country would collapse all the people fled here And then one of Trump's last acts as president was to give him TPS So they could stay here and then they poured in under Biden. So I love you No, no, no, no, I said that's a Crowder. I don't even think Crowder knew that. Yeah, because they all want to talk about oh Biden led in these 12 They never know how the one hand washes the other, you know, because but they say Biden led in 12 million people It was driven by Venezuela. They were maybe three to four million of those Why were they leaving? Trump destroyed their economy. Why were they allowed to stay here? Trump gave him TPS It's like so yeah, Biden didn't Repel them but who drove him here and let him stay incentivize them to stay Trump Trump and and his guy Bolton and you know, then Bolton went and ratted on him now we're chasing him This is just like the futility of Trumpism. You hire someone like Bolton He learns all your secrets publishes him in a book and now we're gonna chase him It's like when he gonna charge Obama charge Obama didn't didn't Tulsi Gabbard do a press conference last year about how Obama Illegally spied on the Trump campaign with the Pfizer warrants whatever happened to that. Yeah, you know, but this is This is governing by press conference where Trump is gonna put out a press release and a press conference and they're they're gonna make these big pronouncements like she did last year Well at DNI we investigated Obama. He broke the law then where's the fucking indictment then you know, don't give me a press release Do it put him in jail. Why not they charge Trump You know people say that would be unprecedented. It's not they went after Trump with how you know How many years were they gonna send them up for over a hundred years? Well cross these different case 116 years He was gonna be cooked and they rated his house Mar-a-Lago and now they want you know So I want to see Obama go to jail. I want to see Hillary Clinton go to jail. I want to see Fauci go to jail What happened to that? Hey, so what Tulsi dropped? What's your thoughts on her? Talking about how Fauci was involved with the whole covert thing and how he kind of you know With the with the war on covered up the origins of it, you know once again It's like show me the money man like where's okay? He lied about it then then charge him then indict him But that's a thing. I mean Ironically all the people maybe not I wrote that's a wrong word for it But Trump is only going after his like personal enemies the people like wrote books about him the people he like doesn't you know These people like James call me how much power does James call me really half and symbolically? I mean, what does James call me really represent other than 86 like that which that was so so lame Like you went after him for that thing with the Instagram posts. I get it like because look a part of me is like I understand because Dude Trump was in a really bad spot Like 22 23 like and I even for me like I remember I the case that word me the most because I attended a day Like I think me and you both like we might be pissed off with our own whatever but we like Donald Trump We thought he's hilarious whatever you say I think he's the most entertaining president of all time The thing that me concerned was a classified document case when they went to Mar-a-Lago And they found all those like documents there and they're like was a classified as not classified can you declassify them and The thing that was I was like in my head. I was like no, he's gonna be cooked is because NDI Which is that what they got with John Bolton? It doesn't matter how classified if it's military information It's national defense information cooked that it doesn't matter what the classification is so they had him that's right and I knew that this guy Jack Smith was not gonna let up right, right? You know drain jack Smith So that was the case that I was like this is bad the other stuff was like you know the Georgia Rico I think that was just oh my god the black bitch. What's her name? The black woman the DA the district attorney for that county I don't remember out of out of out of Georgia. Someone's gonna put her name here She went out to young Doug as well made it made a very similar Rico case against young Doug and the YSL She went after Trump for the Georgia Rico With like voter fraud or whatever and then obviously wash DC for like insurrection Was it fan he will yes. Yes. Yes. She was like fucking her other attorney. Yes So she obviously had her political ambitions, but like the the South Florida document case, bro I think was the the most dangerous one for sure and that he would have gotten guilty on that one for sure Well, and to me, it's just like why I would love nothing more than than to see the Obama's get dragged through the mud Because they treat Obama like he's a saint. Yeah, actually Michelle Obama like she's a saint and they're fucking criminals Just like the trumps so arrogant so pompous and so much of their power is in this idea that they represented Like a better time. They were the adults in the room and you know that they Obama is a saint, you know the sainted Obama so cerebral and so you know whatever mature And so to see that and they you know they got their Netflix deal and they're producing movies now And they had their thing at the library I would open up. Yes, you know all these criminals I would love to see nothing more. They Trump should have launched a strike on all the former president should have been like bush Clinton Obama wouldn't that have been something but it's and that's the kind of shit that we voted for Trump the first time to get Yeah, it's not like these like political bullshit victories, but like real accountability and the wars put these people in jail You need to never get it said you know Let me get your take on this. I always Thought that like oh the Obama's We're responsible for far more than just like you know the political crap Like I think they caught up brought about a very negative cultural change in America. Oh, yeah, like I think the The fact that you we have now with the transgenderism the you know started with gay marriage The BLM bullshit that we're dealing with now started with you know during Obama era like a lot of this like Wokeism that we're dealing with now that's at like a ridiculous level is started with him. Yeah, so I think like their Responsive for a lot of the culture issues that are like or like just you know Obviously you've all become significantly worse. What's your what's your thoughts on that? Yeah, they were the Obama's wrecked America It all it all originated with them and you know people don't even realize Obama was pretty conservative in 2008 He won the state of Indiana. He was against gay marriage like do people remember that he was in favor like the auto unions Like Obama did not run as this race communist progressive, which is what he eventually became and uh and yeah You're right. I mean it started with Trayvon Martin and you know they were very pro gay and all the rest of it So yeah, it's it's a huge part of the problem Sam Francis shortly before he died He basically said once Obama won the 2012 election like America's over that that was it So uh, yeah, and they need to be held accountable for that but you're never gonna see it That's what Trump should have done, but uh, you know no way. Yeah I think for Trump has just been more about like you know competing against him like trying to get a better deal trying to be a better president I think you know what it is. I think it was a 2011 when they had the White House Correspondence Center They say all the time that that was when like Trump said I'm gonna run and I'm gonna fucking go against it I was like he roasted him the whole night like here's just make it front of him And I think that was a night that they were actually um getting a um bin Laden You know, yeah, yeah, I think it was right around that night that that he was make it front of Trump And they were running the operation for forgetting bin Laden and um, I mean, I don't know if that's the exactly thing But a lot of people say like that's kind of when Trump said I'm gonna fucking run and get this guy. Yeah, that was awesome That you ever see that video where he's just sitting there stewing. Oh, yeah, he's so pissed Obama goes. I thought he was gonna run us a joke. Yeah Or no, that was set Myers Obama said something like uh, so I see if you can pull it up real quick I said like white house White House Correspondence Center like 2011 Um, and yeah, he's just like and make it front of Trump And he's like just cooking him the whole time and he's pissed. Sorry. Yeah, he said something like uh You know, Trump has to make these decisions like are we gonna fire meatloaf or Gary Busey? Those are decisions keep me up at night He's just totally making fun of Trump and and you see Trump is like seething. Yeah, and then be honestly Trump will always have aura for that This idea that they're just like that Obama made fun of him. So his vengeance was to like become the president Like insane. That's insane. Oh no, that's like that's a part of the reason you want fun of me. Okay I'll take over the world Anyone you want you want like I remember what I was so like no one thought he was gonna win yeah it's 2016 Hillary had all these like I think she had like a book ready and like the newspaper was ready whatever magazines and it's like she lost and she was like what the fuck like no one thought he was gonna win I didn't think with him he was even surprised like oh shit I won I gotta be president yeah that's what they say you know that he didn't even think he was gonna win oh man pull it up real quick this shit is hilarious like uh yeah because I'm almost certain this is when like when they were going to get Osama oh yeah yeah this definitely it is here tonight now I know that he's taken some flat lately but no one is happier no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest to ban the Donald and that's because you can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter like did we fake the moon landing what really happened in Roswell and where are Biggie and Tupac all kidding aside obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience for example oh seriously just recently in an episode of celebrity apprentice at the steakhouse the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha steaks and there was a lot of blame to go around but you Mr. Trump recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership and so ultimately you didn't blame little John or meatloaf you fired very busy and these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night well handled sir well handled say what you will about uh Mr. Trump he certainly would bring some change to the White House see what we've got up there yeah he's not laughing is he tonight now I know that yeah the same exact face the whole time just like yeah no not laughing at all yeah so because he hated Obama he thinks Obama's a punk yeah and not only that you know it now I'm remembering why Obama wants to visit him Trump would always say show us your person the better thing yeah yeah Trump was teasing a run in 2012 yeah and that's how he got in the news cycle saying Obama wasn't born here and that's what made the and what's funny too about that is that the Clintons created that when the Clintons running against Obama in the '08 primary that's where that came from that he was born in Kenya and he's not even he can't even be president yeah that's a big reason why Hillary Clinton didn't get in the cabinet until later because the Obama Michelle Obama in particular had this big grudge I think it might have even been like Sidney Blumenthal or like somebody who was involved in cooking that one up there's like a lot of like Democrat bad blood because it originated with the Clintons because they're vicious oh man yeah how about that that because she beat her or he beat her out in the primary and but yeah but that they know these these new school guys these these nephews they don't even remember that they don't remember the birth or thing they don't remember you know Trump's because you know back in those days it was super viral in the early internet when Trump said Obama wasn't born here oh yeah Obama's hated them and then they mother fucked him on the White House thing like there was a couple things that Trump wouldn't viciously attack him on you attack him on the birth certificate should be president and then uh uh and then he would also attack him a lot on the Middle Eastern foreign policy yeah you'd always say you'd always say oh yeah because he's not here that was a big one and then also you'd say oh Obama's gonna drag us into a world of Iran right this deal sucks this stinks you know which is true like people say all the time well Trump has always been critical of Daran the other has always been hard on Iran true but a lot of the sweets were we don't want war with Iran and Obama's gonna get us into a war with Iran right and then fast forward what 15 years later and he's the one getting us into war with Iran and it's just like what the fuck is going on so awful though like that because that clip like that clip was funny but then to like you know people juxtapose that clip with like Trump being inaugurated in 2016 and Obama sitting in the audience is just like that how that is actually legendary and that's why we love Trump or did can you um describe cuz I don't think people understand like people might be like oh my my why is that such a big deal like like can you tell them like how much Trump hates getting made fun of like uh yeah I mean you know he's obviously got a huge ego yeah very fragile ego so that stuff really does get to him but you know I don't know I think that's overstated how much that really impacted yeah because you know he was talking about running for president for like 30 years you know he's gonna run for the reform party nomination I think in 2000 he did actually something in New Hampshire I think in 1992 or 96 if I'm not mistaken they they set up some like yeah cuz you know back in 16 when he was originally running I was like a big Trump guy knew everything yeah so we did something in New Hampshire teasing a Republican run in like the 90s he did the reform flirty with the reform party run in 2000 so I called Buchanan a Hitler lover uh yeah remember that yeah um because Buchanan was one of the first people um to be a little bit critical of the uh of our favorite a dreidel spinners right yeah yeah 92 and um yeah so Trump like he he had been flirting with it it's in the 88 convention the Republican I think in 88 they were asking him about it so he he's wanted to be president forever it's just that to him I think he always saw that as the ultimate legacy is like you know he he wanted to go from what his father was doing which was like uh apartments and queens to like the grand high at hotel and then he wanted to trump tower and then you know was the game show the celebrity thing and then I think ultimately he always wanted to be the boss of the country you know so um but he's to me he's just like sort of a petty tyrant he doesn't have that political genius that a Hitler had or like a Joseph Stalin had he doesn't have that talent he's just sort of like a petty tyrant yeah yeah because it's like he's like because like there's obviously business elements of like a business mindset that will you know be great as being like a political leader but at the same time there's like things there that like you might not necessarily think about right because you have to be fairly cerebral and tactical with some of the things that you do politically that he you know might not be as refined as he's not idealist yeah you know um so yeah so that's why he was never going to be the god but that video so funny it almost makes you remember why it's so interesting because when you contrast the trump of 2016 from now you we really forget what it was like yeah it's been so long and so much has happened and and people have grown up under trumpism that we've like lost touch with what it was really like in 2016 not only what it was like with like trumpism in its ascendancy but also what it was like with the left I feel like a lot of these younger kids especially now you know kids that are 18 now or kids had grew up under trump like they never knew the Obama years yeah it's like a different generation years I remember the one years vividly like as a kid like that's why like Trump was so shocking to like because I'm 36 I'm old to tell like it's so shocking because I was like I remember one like you know presidents were super proper nice and right you know very presidential they would say refined so this guy comes in and says we're going to build a wall yeah you know and mix goes going to pay for it it was unheard of like what the fuck is going this guy you know we're going to ban the Muslim countries I was like oh shit like this guy's nuts with this hilarious so like you know you have like I'll never forget this Obama and Mitt Romney debating like 2011 2012 for the presidential in the presidential election they're all polite you know you know complimenting each other even when Obama ran against McCain I remember this old lady well there's no problem Muslim and he's like no he's not a Muslim but he's like defending him and shit like that would never happen nowadays like it's like they would just like bash each other so like it completely went from like you know very posh boring you know politics to like now it's like blood sport right like Trump is over here saying like they're gonna cats and dogs like they're gonna come on airs debate it's like it changed like into like entertainment almost so yeah well and not only that but I the younger people they just don't remember what it was like in the early 2010s was so liberal and so woke they just like forget the texture of life now the Trump is in office the culture's totally different like what's acceptable and how far right things have moved and I almost wonder how positive that is because because of that amnesia I feel like that's what makes the pendulum go back in the other direction because people have kind of gotten acclimated to like the new normal which is Trumpism and like what's tolerated and they forget what it was really like in the 2010s which it was unbearable because it felt like it felt like leftism was just inevitable yeah everything was going more left forever you're always going to be surprised about you know if first it was the gaze then it was the tranny's then everyone thought it was going to pedophilia and it felt like that like kind of momentum there's a huge push for interracial mirrors too yeah like when Obama came in there was a huge push for interracial relationships like every Netflix show or every TV show there'd be like interracial couples all the time it was like yeah well and it was just always like more feminism more black more diversity more it was always going in that direction and what you know to his credit what people don't maybe on our side give Trump enough credit for as he totally arrested that trend and made him move in the other direction and things are changing because like you know Elon Musk being the most powerful man in the world and being like Loki a white nationalist yeah that's kind of you know you think about that and you know even these Tesla drivers they're gonna flip off all the time people drive Tesla's and liberals like vandalize cars flip them off because they're like you know the guy that runs the number one electric as automaker is like a fascist. It's like a white Nashville's fat. Well, kind of just objectively is. In many ways, and you go in broad strokes, things have gotten better, and we should work to maintain and push further. And that's right. - Forget that like when Trump first came in, they were fire bombing Tesla dealerships. Like, yo, they were like legitimately fire bombing them. Like throw a mallet off cocktails, et cetera. Like a bunch of people got arrested for terrorism for doing that. - That was crazy, yeah. - And in early 25. So when Trump came in, so it's like, oh, shit. So, but no, it's just crazy. Times man, oh, okay, let's go into the war. We were win over on a whole thing, tangent with impeachment and everything else, but yeah, no, absolutely, absolutely insane. So let's go ahead, we can go to rerum, or, let's see here. And guys, we're gonna do a Q&H section on OSS as well. You guys can ask me and Nick a bunch of questions. We'll go over there. Okay, and a little bit. Okay, so IRGC confirms us two hours ago. It's a tax on Kuwait and Bahrain is a retaliation for the earlier US attacks on Iran. So basically, I think what happened was, obviously, the war in Lebanon did not cease. It's really not pulled back. As a matter of fact, they aggravated it by like signing this agreement yesterday, which obviously a lot of people got pissed off. And Lebanon has pulled people like, went over to the PM's house and everything else. And then, that led to the US striking our long, the straighter Hamlus and southern Iran. And then Iran retaliated by hitting bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. And then let's see what else we have here. Initial reports, so you scroll up a little bit? Refresh it? Like the refresh the Twitter page? It confirmed, and then I do have a IRGC statement here. Let me see if I can read it real quick. Okay, so it goes, so after they bottom them, here's their statement. During a joint missile and drone operation between 2.3 AM today, Sunday, July 28th, your brave sons and enable an air force of the Revolutionary Guard launched ballistic missiles and drones at eight vital locations of the American Army at Ali, Al Salam, air-based in Kuwait and the fifth fleet in Meena, Salman, Bahrain, destroying them and firmly responding to the recent American aggression, the aggressive enemy, which is by nature, a breaker of covenants and agreements attacked five coastal sites belonging to the Islamic Republic at dawn today under the pretext of confronting the IRGC's naval forces against the violating ship. Based on the memorandum of understanding, sign an Islamabad, the agreements, the arrangements for the regulating navigation and the straighter Hamlus are the responsibility of the Islamic Republic. And from now on, violating ships will be dealt with more firmly than before and any potential aggression by the enemy under any pretext, even if the aggression is directed against unimportant targets as happened last night and tonight will face an overwhelming response. And the last paragraph here says, or last sentence, the enemy must know that violating the ceasefire is a violation of Article one of the memorandum of understanding, signed an Islamabad and will lead to a complete cessation of operations. So what are your thoughts on that, Nick? That's the IRGC statement. Yeah. So, you know. I don't know if Trump's true social too, please guys. So the MOU says that Iran and Oman will jointly manage the straight. Yep. Last week after Switzerland, the Iranian delegation met with the Omanis to work out how they're gonna jointly manage it. And what's happened since then is now the Omanis have opened up a root of passage through the straight hugging their coast. Yes. So the straight goes between Iran and Oman and what the IRGC said is the only way we're gonna let you go through the straight is if you get permission from the IRGC and what that does is create a precedent where then to get permission you need to pay money. So Iran said you're gonna go through this lane of passage that we have authorized that we've opened up and you need to tell us about it. Well, the Omanis said we're opening up our own lane. Yeah. And you can go across them, right? Because they were supposed to work together to have like split the revenue and then like have one lane that they go through. So the Omanis kind of double crossed them. Right. So the Omanis are saying we're gonna let ships go without paying or asking permission. This is why the Iranians are now attacking the shipping. The Iranians started, I think on Thursday, Friday and then today, all the past three days, every single day, Iran has been attacking the tankers that are going through that route to deter them from doing that so that they can monopolize the trade. Because if the straight is opened on the Omanis side, then it's freedom of navigation and then Iran loses all their leverage. Because then obviously all the shipping is gonna go there instead of asking the IRGC and then they can't charge the toll. So Iran has been attacking the shipping and retaliation the US has been bombing Iran Southern coast and the other thing that they're doing is they're sending a full escort package for one single tanker. There was one single tanker. I don't know if it was destined for Oman or if it originated in Oman, but there's a tanker that went through the straight from Oman and they had a full package from the US. They had like Ospreys and drones and like a full air package to escort the ship from Bahrain through the straight, sending a message to the Iranians like don't try to fuck with this Omani route anymore. So the Iranians then retaliated against the US, bombing Kuwait, bombing Bahrain and now they're saying the MOU is off. They're saying we may just pull out of the thing altogether and the council of jurists, the expert council, they came out and said we should have never opened up the straight. They said we're never gonna negotiate the nuclear file and we need to cease firing Lebanon. And so now they're saying on that basis of all three of those points, they're going to just pull out of the MOU and then that's it, which is just, I mean, and then we run out of oil. - I don't think people understand like how bad this is, like, you know, like we've discussed before, the reason why, oh here's Trump right here, this is, they said this recently, can you make it big on Iran? This is a true social post right here for you guys. It says United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites for violent and cease fire agreement. Again, it is very possible that they will never learn. There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist. President Donald J Trump and that was three hours ago. - Yeah. So we're in exactly the same situation. What good is the MOU? Because what is the MOU say? - The MOU real quick, first real fast guys. - It says they're opening the straight. Okay, straight's not open. - Yeah. - They say there's cease fire in Lebanon. There's no cease fire in Lebanon. - And here it is. So here's the MOU right here. The United States of America and Islamic Republic and their allies in the current war by Senate's MOU declared the immediate permanent termination military operation on all fronts, including a Lebanon. Also, I find this interesting. What do you think about this, Nick? Remember how they tried to slide in Gaza in there? And then they had to change it, like they did originally. It was like in some of the earlier drafts that were leaked. And then they made it, then they just made it all fronts. And then they obviously made it about Lebanon. And I think the Gaza thing was like, okay, maybe that's too asking for too much. - I don't think they Iranians were ever asking for that. - They did, they did. - But like they ended up like pulling it back. But like in earlier, 'cause they were like, they were going back and forth a million times. So like they were trying to get Gaza as well. And then they pulled it back. And I know this because I forget who it was that I was watching. But there was a lot of people in the Muslim world that were pissed off because Gaza was removed. That's how I know that it was originally in the drafts. And then they took it out for the final. 'Cause that's why they were being so secretive about like what's in it, what's not in it. 'Cause they're kind of like passing back our draft back and forth. And Gaza wasn't it. And then they removed it. And that sort of pissed a lot people. - Yeah, 'cause that would never fly. - In the Muslim world, yeah. - Israel never, I mean, you know, maybe Lebanon, but never, yeah. - And that's precisely why. Well, I think they just wanted them to not pull out of Gaza, but stop the bombing is what it was. But you know, Hamas hasn't disarmed. So like they're gonna keep attacking. But that's how I know, 'cause like I was watching some like, I forget those, there was a bunch of Muslims that were pissed off about it. And then the fight, 'cause they looked at it like, well, Gaza is the reason that this war started, which allowed, you know, for all of this to begin to give around the opportunity that it has now. Why would you betray Gaza? 'Cause Gaza, they look at it like, which I can understand their grievance. Gaza is the reason why everyone is against Israel now because of the mass murdering. So like they looked at it like they're suffering and their sacrifice is not being validated 'cause they were the ones that created this, you know, the negative press for Israel, right? That's what's going on. Can we pull it up real quick one more time? The final deal will confirm. That's our average. And referring from the threat against force of each other ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon, the final deal will confirm the permanent termination of a war in all fronts and cool Lebanon. Okay, so this is what the first point that they were saying that they violated. So, but you were saying earlier with the shit, I was, we're talking about the straight termination. Shit, we're, we're, we're. I don't remember. But, I mean, maybe just about the whole situation that the MOU is now. I mean, what's even the point? Yeah. I mean, that it's exactly the status quo from before. And fundamentally, it's because they just never agreed on these issues. Because the disagreement, which was at the center of this was if the straight opens, it's under what conditions? Does Iran control it or is it freedom of navigation? Because that was always a sticking point. Iran said, yeah, we'll open the straight, but we're going to charge money. And the US said, no, you're not. We need freedom of navigation. And so apparently in the weeks leading up to the MOU, they said, oh, we resolved that. We're going to let Iran charge a toll. And you know, the US insisted, no, we're not. And they still are. So there was no agreement on that. There is no other way. agreement on Lebanon and then the Iranians are using these violations as a pretext. So they're saying, well, since there's no ceasefire in Lebanon, now we don't have to open up the straight. You know, we can bomb shipping if we want to. Since the straight is closed, now the US is going to hit Iran. Now Iran says, well, then we're not going to talk about the nuclear file. So, you know, we're just not anywhere closer to a deal than we were a week ago, two weeks ago, a year ago, it's fundamentally, it's the same impasse on every single thing. And so now Trump says, you know, we're back at square one with the military threats. So we're going to bomb Iran if they don't behave and you say, well, what has changed? You know, what military option is available now? There wasn't available in April. There wasn't available, you know, we threaten to annihilate Iranian civilization. Take Carg Island, bomb the nuclear or not the nuclear, the oil refineries and the bridges and the civilian infrastructure invade the islands and the strait of hormones. I mean, what realistically are you going to do that wasn't on the table then, but is on the table now? You can't, there's nothing you can do. And this is why for me, I've always wondered where it's going to, I really have no idea where it's going to go. I really don't because it's like we can't get Iran to change your behavior. We also can invade militarily. So something's got to give here either we're going to give Iran everything they want or we're going to get absolutely fucked or are, you know, are we going to go to war? But I mean, that seems, that seems like the least likely of all that you're going to see a ground invasion of Iran or, you know, a tactical nuclear weapon or something because in order for us to have any military options, we would just need to qualitatively escalate in the types of weapons we're willing to use, you know, what, what kind of tactics we're willing to employ. So I just, I really don't see how this ends because it's literally, if we want Iran to engage on our terms, it's, it's a ground invasion. It's, it's an escalation we're not prepared for. On the other hand, if we don't do that, is there any scenario where Iran opens up the straight under our terms? I think the answer is no. And if they don't do that, you know, then the economy completely falls apart. I remember what it was that I was going to ask you. Can you explain real quick to the audience the reason why we, the reserves and why this problem, you know, why that was probably one of the main factors for Trump to pull into or get this deal, even though it was very unfavorable to us in the first place. Yeah. So, you know, it's 20% of the world's oil goes through the straight of hormones. It's been taken offline since February 28th. So how many months is that? It's all of March, April, May or June. And in order to offset the loss of that supply, the US released hundreds of millions of barrels of oil. And the whole internet community did, right? Didn't like us and obviously everyone else like released, yeah, as about say that they coordinated through the, I think international energy association, the release of 400 million barrels of oil. And that's just what they coordinated, China released their reserves. We don't even know because they're not transparent about it. But the whole world dumped their supply. And that's why the price hasn't gone out of control because they were saying that if the war went on into June, you'd have like $200 per barrel for oil. The only reason that it hasn't happened is because we've just been pumping this stuff out. But now we're just running out. There's only 350 million barrels left in the US strategic petroleum reserve. That's enough for like, I don't know, 10 or 20 days or something. It's just not enough. And once that runs out, you're talking about rationing, you're literally talking about energy rationing where they're going to start to say, you can't buy gas, you know, or maybe they're talking about like a shutdown. Are we going to use flat cameras to track how much people are driving and ration fuel per person? You start to get into that territory. And you know, people say, well, the US is an energy exporter. So we don't have to worry about that. But we use more energy that we make. Yeah, we just explain that because like people are so, oh, because Trump always says it's during interviews. He always says, we make more oil than Saudi Arabia. We make more oil than all these people. We don't even really need to straight like that. We produce our own. Now we got Venezuela, et cetera. And I'm just like in my head like, okay, though some of that might be true. It doesn't matter. You can explain to them like why that doesn't matter that we make our own oil and we get Venezuela. And it's like, why still does it change the high prices? Yeah, it all has to. Well, number one, it's just basic like supply and demand. You know, that's the first and foremost. Does everyone in the world is competing for oil and so the price system works without like it does. No, 73, but like it's going to go back up, especially with this conflict because they haven't priced it in, you know, because the markets for whatever reason the markets are behaving rationally, they're, they are responding to the news. If the headlines has the war is over, then the, then they will say, oh, well, oil is going to become plentiful again. So that's reflected in the price, but they don't realize that just because even if the war ended today, it doesn't mean that supply goes back to normal because it takes time for supply to increase again. It takes time to get those ships out of the straight. It's going to take time for them to build confidence to even go through the straight. And then, you know, the tankers are slow. It's going to take them 30 days to get to their destination. So it doesn't just go back to normal automatically and it's not, we're not even there yet. You know, the straight isn't even open still. So, you know, the price seems to be out of touch with the economic reality, but the point is no matter how much oil the US makes, we're still competing for oil on a global market. It has to do with the type of oil that we are able to refine with our infrastructure, the type of oil that we make, the type of oil other countries make. All of our refining infrastructure on the southeast coast in Texas is built to refine heavy sour crude oil that we thought we were going to get from Mexico and Venezuela. That's type of oil in Mexico and Venezuela in the 1990s. They thought that was the oil boom. So they built up all this refining infrastructure for that product. The oil that we get from the oil sands from fracking is light and sweet. So we don't have the refining infrastructure to use that. We export that to other countries. And so, you know, this is why even though we have a lot of oil, we're still importing oil. We import the type of oil that we can refine. And so what eventually happens is it turns into a logistical situation where it's like, where are we going to get the type of oil that we need? There's just not going to be enough of it. So, you know. And the infrastructure in Venezuela isn't even built up yet. It's going to take years for them to build that up when people say, well, we could control the oil and then as well, all right, great. You got the reserves. Well, guess what? Now you got to create the infrastructure to extract the oil, right? And have it been, you know, actually be able to be able to utilize it. Right. And I don't think people understand it's going to take a while. Yeah. So, I mean, it's not a good situation at all. And our oil is more expensive than other places as well. Right. There's like a price discrepancy like you can make the argument that like, with a certain of us being closed, yes, it forces the countries to buy our oil. We're able to kind of enter the market, whatever, but yeah, like you said, we don't make enough for everybody on top of what we consume. Right. So, it's like, man, it's, it's a very, I don't think people understand like that, like, because I got into an argument about this with like, temple, and he was like, oh yeah, Trump is, is purposely keeping the shredder who was closed and I was like, no, he's not, dude. No, no, he's not. Like he was literally arguing with me, like saying, well, it's because he's purposely doing this like 3D or 4D chess, keeping the straight clothes so that we can dominate the energy market. He has no intents it's open to, keep it to open it up, and he's just like, feigning diplomacy to get it open. I was like, no, dude, that's not what it is like, like, like crash the world's energy market to do that. And like, have Americans paying double, double for gas. Like how does it? How does that help? Like, well, it's always the 5D chess with the Trump shell. That's all, you know, it's never as simple as it is. There's always some super clever. No, no, Trump is the genius mastermind. Here's how Trump can still win. And, you know, that's just not the case. There's just like epic levels of cult, man. Yeah. Um, what else do we got here? So, we got, so we got the barrains, strikes, uh, let me see here, I like Miami by the way, man. Love it. Love the city. My second home. I'm going to try to get him here, chat. I'm going to try to get him to come to Miami and move out here, hopefully one day. Uh, let's see here if there's anything else new. So, Trump threatens, uh, oh, has there been, I think there's been some movement as well with, uh, with Russia. Creative. I'm not mistaken, right? Uh, nothing major. I mean, it's the overall situation is changing, but nothing happened the past 24 hours. So okay, um, let me see here. I'm going to check, uh, rerun real quick, see if there's anything else breaking. Oh, I want to ask you about this. What are your thoughts, cause I never got to talk to you about this. Remember when the F 15 got shot down? Yeah. Yeah. What are your thoughts on that? What really went down, uh, when that happened, um, cause there's multiple different theories of what they think was going on. It was like, maybe a failed black operation where they're trying to get to uranium. And then I ended up having to become a rescue mission because they had this, uh, fighter, this, um, this, uh, weapon system officer that was a colonel that was out there, um, what are your thoughts on that in general? Yeah, you know, I remember that case where they said that the F 15 was shot down and, um, you know, one of the pilots was stranded there in the mountains and, and then in the end, there were two transport planes that got destroyed over there. Mm hmm. And they said that what happened as a transport planes came, uh, I think not only to get the pilot, but to get the wreckage of the plane or something like that. And they said that the cargo planes came under attack and, and then there was this discrepancy about where the planes landed. And they said that it was closer to Iran's nuclear sites than it was to where this guy actually crashed. And they said, how could he've gone hundreds of miles in another direction when he's some solo guy in the mountains of Iran in a totally remote place? So I, you know, I don't know. You just never know about things like that. I think, I think that if we were going to go in to get the highly enriched uranium, it wouldn't look like that because the highly enriched uranium, according to the IAEA, is in the tunnels at Esfahan and it's deep underground. And so they say that if- If we're going to go in and get it, we're going to need to bring like excavation equipment, like literally heavy construction equipment where you need to like dig it out. And it's going to be the largest special forces operation in history, like tens of thousands of troops. And we're going to be literally moving heaven and earth to get to this stuff. The Iranians can't even get it. And it's their country. And then you're talking about coming under fire from within Iran, from drones and missiles and the IRGC. So I don't, I don't think they would seriously do that. And I think the size of the force to went into Iran, probably too small. And if that actually happened, I think Iran would say so because wouldn't that be a big propaganda victory if the US tried to get the uranium and they failed? And I think so what I've been told from people is that they were trying to set up a FARP or FARP for operating location. They were slowly bringing these little birds, these, these, these planes that were used for moving equipment. And they were setting up kind of like a clandestine operation to do this. And then one that up happening was this fighter jet got shot down. And they had to shift from doing, you know, one of these raids into a rescue mission. Because I think, oh, I was talking about like Larry Johnson. I know Agalar, a couple of these guys were like, why the hell do they have little birds here? These are, these are for like, you know, quick attacks. What's going on? Well, for a rescue mission. So the aircraft threw them off. And what they were trying to say is that they think that they're establishing this forward operating base to do this assault. And they got caught off guard because this fighter jet got shot down. So that's a complete switch to mission into a recovery situation. That's why they had all these unorthodox aircraft in the area. And then why there was all these, you know, seals and delta guys that were in the area as well, which didn't make sense for a rescue mission. So, um, so that's what they were saying. And then also, um, the other thing was that the Iranians grabbed a military ID or an ID of someone and it was a woman, uh, a name, uh, and I think it was on her ID or something like that, where she was like a nuclear special to someone, especially someone that like deals with or knows how to deal with highly enriched uranium. So like, and one of the military components, I forget what it was, it was either an ID like, maybe the job series code or whatever. But, um, that's what kind of led them to say, okay, it looks like they were making, getting something going on. And this operation got thwarted because this fighter jet got shot down and then the other thing also that was kind of weird was like, this guy was like a colonel as a weapon system officer. That was also kind of strange. So that's another reason why they're like, well, that's kind of a high rank to be doing that, um, where they attached to this, you know, this, this unit and then they got shot down and they had to ship what they were doing. So all these different theories came out as to why, but regardless, um, and because remember, like when he was Trump was talking all this shit about car guy on this car guy on that, um, M.E. You hear M.U. That people are like, what the fuck is this people were speculating that that was all a diversion to keep from what he was really trying to do, which was try to get this, you know, highly enriched uranium. So I don't know. I think it's far fetched only because the Iranians would have every reason to blow the lid on that. Yeah. Be a big prop. Well, they got in a big firefight as well. They did get a firefighter. Why would they be complicit in the lie? Wouldn't it be better for Iran to say, you know, you try to get the uranium? They made like a Lego thing on it. Yeah. Well, you know how they do those Lego things where they make fun of the United States? Yeah, but that's like from their propaganda ministry. I mean, I feel like they would come out and talk about it. And, uh, it would be a major innovation, like a formal news thing. Yeah. Fair. Um, what do you, so okay, obviously we're in a very strange situation right now. And guys, we're going to shift over here to OSS very soon, read the chats and then answer questions over there. Um, what would you do at this point? If you were, if you were the president of the United States, man, I want to know what would Nick Fuentes do, um, if we're in a position that we're in now, how the hell would you get out, get us out of this or how the hell can we get out of this? There's no way. I mean, that's the thing is like, once you make an error like this, this is a pivotal error, which means there's no putting the genie back in the bottle, like that, that's a full crumb now. And there's no good options, you know, like we talked about, you can let Iran take control over the straight. And you can, you know, but what are you even going to do about Lebanon, nothing to do about Lebanon? Israel is not going to stop. Nothing to do to make them stop. And you know, we could, we could try, they're talking about selling F 35s of Turkey and they're talking to Netanyahu's political opponents and I think all that is sickling. I think all that's bullshit. I don't think any of that's real. They're not really trying to piss off Israel. They're saying those things to make Israel scared, but Netanyahu's been around for, for 30 years. You know, you can't scare this guy and he runs our shit. He runs America. Uh, Larry Ellison gave 60 million to one of Trump's packs and he's in bed with Netanyahu. You know what I mean? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. So about tick-tock and everything. Right. I don't think that, um, that means anything, we're not going to get Israel over their dead body. Are they going to withdraw from Lebanon? If you don't have that, Iran's not going to make peace. Iran's not going to go back to the pre-war status quo on the straight. They're not going to talk about the nukes. So I mean, even if you gave them everything that we could, I still don't think you have a deal. There's also no military options either. What? Well, honestly, what can you do? Are you going to invade Iran? No shot. Uh, are you going to open the straight by force? How? Destroy all their drones and missiles? You can't. They're too small, too remote, too cheap, too mobile. There's too many of them. They're making more of them already. 200 ground. Can't be done. Yeah. So there's just really no good option. And what is happening is that the US is just simply losing this war. Iran is just destroying us right now. And they know exactly what they're doing. They're going to make it as painful as possible. That's why I think that, you know, we are just in the situation where we're in this like submission hold and we can't tap out, you know, like we're being strangled to death and there's no way to tap out. So I, I really, you know, people are always saying like Joe Kent says, well, we should just leave. I, maybe that's the only thing we can do is to literally just pack it up. Just, you know, say, all right, uncle, okay, Iran's going to control the straight. And, uh, these commercial ships are going to have to maybe pay money. It'd be cheaper than what we're doing now, which is escorting the commercial ships through. Just pay the fine. It's yours now. That's the cost of it. I mean, maybe it's literally as simple as we're just going to have to evacuate our bases in the Middle East, bring the carriers home, pay Iran, our reparations, like we might literally just have to give them the whole thing. And I think that may be the only way out at this point is just like an unconditional US surrender. And I, you know, and people are going to say and people have said that like we're pro-Iran or something. That might be the only option we have left. It might be it. What else can you do? I mean, seriously, because you got these guys like Shapiro and Levin and they say, we just need to keep going. We just, we're being soft on them. I mean, realistically, what can be done that hasn't already been done? We bombed them 15,000 times. Yeah. All the signers are saying continue the war. It's actually insane that they're like 180 out of stock in with the other day. Like they're like, oh, I don't like the MOU. Like we just got to keep going. I'm like, what the fuck are you going to do? Like I'm at this point and you, I don't think these people understand. You have no military options because the next step is a nuclear bomb or destroying their infrastructure. And if you do that, say goodbye to the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, the Bahrainians, the UAE, I think the UAE got hit 2,000 times during this course at this more plus. And it's like, they can't do anything because they're right there next to Iran on a map. Like if we pull up real quick on a map, just so it illustrates the audience, like how defenseless these fucking golf states are, it's actually ridiculous. Like how little, you know, defense they have. And then like the interceptors, like you said, are pretty much cooked. Yep. You know, I mean, man, I mean, we burned through 75% of our Miss, according to estimates of our missile interceptors and, you know, nine of our bases have been rendered inoperable. Like the reporting on the extent of the damage has totally undersold how much of it has been, you know, completely wiped out. And the US has no defenses. Like, you know, I was watching some of the stuff they were talking about how when we went to war and the global war on terror, we were not worried about it. Make it big real quick. Yeah. So guys, zoom in down a little bit. You can see where Iran is move to the move to the your left a little bit now down, down, because we're in a way. So like, guys, look at no scroll down more, yep, move down a bit more and move it down south. Okay. See where Dubai is guys compared to Iran, dude, that's like a half skipping a jump away. That's like 30 miles of water that separates them, dude, they're just like hit them relentlessly. All these Gulf states are right there across the Persian Gulf from Iran. And that's why they've been able to just like bully them the whole time. Sorry. Yeah. I lost my train of thought. What was they talking about? It was. Oh, yeah, yeah. In the global war on terror, we were not worried about attacks from the air, because it's before drones, Taliban didn't have an air force, anything like that. And so when we actually had our troops in Iraq and in these other countries, their fortifications were like, they would put sandbags up because they weren't about vehicle attacks or rockets or something. They weren't worried about the air. So when we're in some of these countries like Kuwait, which is I think where these people got killed, they're just in like, they're just in regular buildings. And the building where some of these people were killed, they put out a request to the military saying, we're not safe here. This is one of the targets. And if we get hit with the drone, we're going to die. And that's what happened. Yeah, they were the drone and they died because we're not ready for shooting down projectiles from the air. We're not ready to deal with the drones. And so we are really incurring severe losses in terms of equipment, in terms of personnel. And what's funny too, so we go into the war to destroy the missiles. That's a whole idea. And our ability to destroy the missiles is what prevents them from closing the strait. If we can suppress the missile and drone fire, then they can't keep the strait closed. So we bomb them 15,000 times and we pound them literally with everything we have. We have destroyed only 25% of their missile stockpiles, still 75% of them. Since the ceasefire, they've already gone back to work on their missile production facility. So they're going to start pumping them out all over again, same thing with the drones. China is furnishing them with these supplies to build more of it. So at the same time, the US is burned through 75% of the interceptors. So we destroyed 25% of their missiles. We burned through 75% of our interceptors. And again, you say, if we go back to war, what more can be done? We bomb a 15,000 more times. Are they going to now have half the missiles? Have they rebuilt more of them? I mean, they say that it's going to take around six months to get back to their pre-war stockpile of missiles. And it's already been two months since the ceasefire. So that's the problem is just there's no way that you're going to sufficiently suppress Iran's ability to shut down the straight in time before there's an economic calamity. So And the scary part is like, they don't even really have to shut it down with force. All they got to do is create fear. Right, exactly. They just hit a couple of boats and then loads of London are not destroying any of these ships and they're not going to go through. Exactly. They're not going to do. Do you think more US service members are dead than the, I think, 13 to 15 that they're claiming? I don't think, I think that would be illegal. Isn't there like a legal requirement to talk about casualties? I don't know. With war time. There's more severely injured. Oh, yeah. Hundreds are injured. They've been keeping that ahead. Yeah, drop site said there's like over 300 that have been severely injured. Yes. Yes, especially from quite like, because a lot of them had to get airlifted to Germany. Right. Yeah, right. A couple days of the war in the US, obviously, like, those a couple, a lot of people reported that like, um, coady hospitals were completely being bombarded with US service members and they couldn't take care of them and they had to airlift them all to fucking Germany. And obviously the US government, like, you know, is not going to disclose that. But yeah, and then I remember for a while, they didn't like say anything about like the basis of being destroyed, but like, yeah, CNN did a report on a couple others and they found out like, no, they're, they're, they're inoperable, man, they're inoperable. And then like, they, and then people say, well, why did they start hitting hotels? The service members end up going to these hotels, they found out and that's where they're shooting like these precise drones into these hotels. Right. So it's like, you know, dude, at this point, I'm, because I'm thinking to myself, like, what can you do militarily? You can't really do much more because you're, if you do it, you're going to risk the golf states getting destroyed. Like, because your next step is nuclear bombs or, um, power plants or, you know, infrastructure. And then you can't evade because you got the, um, not the outboards mountains, the outboards mountains are on the Caspian Sea, the, um, Zagross mountains to the east, so I'm couldn't get past those. So it's like, how the hell are you going to do? You'll never be able to do a land evasion. We don't have the stomach for a politically anyway. So it's like, what can you honestly do at this point? It's like, um, the only thing you could do is you would have to, uh, really go hard in Israel and tell them you got to leave Lebanon, but they're not going to do that. So it's like, I don't know what the hell the Trump administration is going to do at this point. And then like you said, which is true, um, they've only just stopped maybe 25 to 30% of their missile capabilities and then, and they're still making their drones and their missiles, which is funny because I remember on day one of the war or, or sorry, like the first couple days of the war. And that, and Yahoo, in this really government, they're like, they only have a hundred launchers left. Come on, dude. Yeah. Remember that feeling, uh, fully like, you know, they're still shooting a missile. So, yeah, I don't know what the fuck, um, is going to end up going on here. So I think, yeah, so you, you're completely against like, cause the other thing also, cause that's, this and MOU as well, they want us to pull out of the region. Like, do you think that would be a, that'd be a, uh, complete, what would be a complete capitulation? Of course. But like, would that set us up for long term failure in your opinion? Uh, I, you know, it's hard to say that I think that's what we wanted to do anyway. That's really the whole point is to get Saudi Arabia and Syria and the Abraham Accords. And then even if Iran still exists, Iran will be balanced by this Abraham alliance. They want to call it, you know, which is Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Syria, the Emirates, Bahrain. You know, that was the whole idea. Um, and then we would need to be there because then we could furnish all these countries with fighter jets and, and intelligence and all these things. And if it got to that point, they'd be able to defend themselves. They wouldn't need us. Um, so now the question is, okay, Iran isn't going anywhere. He's not normalizing with Israel, maybe Syria isn't either. So, you know, the situation isn't quite the same and we can't really hand it off to these other countries to do it because, you know, like in Europe, for example, we want to do the same thing in Europe. How we're going to get UK, Germany, France to spend more on military than they don't need us. They can defend themselves from Russia. And then we can leave. Well, this alliance in the Middle East isn't happening. Um, you know, so, but then again, do we really even need to defend these people at that point? Well, that is where all the oil is. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know that the US is in a position where we can, uh, leave them to their own devices. You know what else is kind of like, uh, I guess troublesome. They talked about, um, after Israel attacked Qatar, I know, sorry, David, that obviously shook them up quite a bit when they were trying to kill the Hamas guys back in September. Actually, right before, I remember because it was right before Charlie Kirk passed away that they, uh, they attacked Qatar, trying to get these Hamas guys while they were trying to negotiate this thing, um, and obviously it was very embarrassing for us and everything else like that. Um, Saudi Arabia went and did a deal with Pakistan for, uh, for security assurances, uh, since they have nuclear weapons. I don't know if you've heard about this. Like, if you heard about like these talks, they're going to try to create like a Muslim NATO. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, um, Qatar, uh, what are thoughts on that? Yeah, I mean, it's certainly interesting and, um, I think that's a good idea because then it, it almost becomes like an anti-Israel block. And what is happening is that the, the Middle East is just fundamentally different now than it was before October 7th. And what's shaping up is even before the Iran war, you had Saudi and the Emirates splitting up because Saudi is actually, you know, when Mohammed bin Salman first got in, he wanted to shake everything up. Now he wants to call him everything down. Now they're really like a status quo power trying to preserve the status quo. The Emirates like the Israelis are trying to change everything. That's why they're intervening in Sudan. They're intervening in Yemen. They're intervening all these different conflicts. And so what would emerge is an alliance. Like you said, there's a mutual defense pact now between Pakistan and Saudi and then they're talking about bringing Turkey to that as well. And those are going to be like, and Qatar too. These are going to be the, the forces in favor of the status quo. What you might see on the other side is a different block, which is let's say Israel, Greece, the Emirates, Azerbaijan, and they're going to be like the revisionist powers. And so the Middle East is really going to, in terms of the geopolitical alignment, it's going to be totally different. And then the question would be, which side would Iran be on, probably they'd be on the side with Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi, Turkey. I mean, it sounds crazy that there's a one time, of course, the Saudis and the Iranians were in this like proxy war for 10 years, which engulfed the entire Middle East. And now you, you might think in a scenario where the US leaves the region, maybe then that is how things would, would shake out. And then you just have, uh, then a proxy war between these more revisionist powers and these, um, like Islamist status quo powers, it might shake out to be something like that. But I don't know that the US can really afford to leave the Middle East just because of how vital the, uh, commodities are there in the trade as well. So. Not only that, but like, um, I think it would open a door for like China to come in and build an enormous amount of influence in there as well. If we were to leave, I think that's a big reason why they didn't want to leave, but Iran wants them out of there. Um, as a part of, I was part of the MOU obviously we, they would never leave completely. But I mean, you don't think, uh, China would try to come in and take some of the influence, especially with the partnership with Iran. I don't think so because China has no ability to project power in the Middle East. They're, you know, they're an economic power, uh, but they, they just have no ability to project power any, I mean, not even in Taiwan yet. But you don't think if we, um, if we pulled out that open door for them to potentially maybe build a base in Iran or build a base in, uh, well, I mean, you know, yeah, yes, and no, I mean, it had been training in that direction. The UAE and Saudi, of course, if we left this one, I mean, yeah, I mean, they, they joined bricks already and Beijing brokered a truce between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 23. They opened up embassies and everything they, they talked about normalization and everything. So, yeah, I mean, China would play like a diplomatic role and, and yeah, maybe they'd built some infrastructure. All those countries are belt and road countries too, even Israel. Um, and, you know, we've seen some of the middle powers are playing China in the US off of each other. Saudi did that under Biden, Turkey does this between Russia and the United States. So certainly their influence would increase. But I think so much of that is overstated because China just, they don't have as long of a reach as the United States does because they're, we're a security provider. They are not a security provider at all. Yeah. But the security provider thing, which like, I think we kind of got shown to be a paper tiger was we weren't able to protect our golf allies in this situation. And even, you know, and obviously our ability to even intercept missiles or whatever, that's kind of been, you know, significantly reduced as well. So it's like, that's another thing from this conflict that I was like, oh man, like, we've been, like, Saudi Arabia is complaining, they protect Israel more than us, what the fuck is going on here? So it's like, you know, is our security assurances and guarantees going to be as potent as powerful as what it was now that people have like literally seen, we can't even stop drones from 20,000-dollar drones from like, you know, passing a waterway and hitting our allies that, you know, obviously have very sensitive and, you know, fragile infrastructure. So I don't know, man, it's absolutely nuts. What do we got here? We got some, we're going to, you know, we're going to shift here, guys over to OSS and hold it up. What are you doing? Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah. You know what? We're going to do that. Yeah. Real quick. And then, oh, tell them real quick about your merchant America. First plus. Well, fast. Yeah. Tell them, bro, come on, man. I don't, I hate plugging. I hate plugging. I barely like to plug it on my own show. Yeah. Do it, man. that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, went to.store for the merch, America first out plus for the subscriptions and the show, then the big show. Yeah, yeah, we'll do a quick, a quick thing here in a second, then we'll do, then we'll do the shift. Um, let me see here. Yeah, to get it to get open. Yeah, no worries. Oh, there was that ended up taught with the top of Blanche thing. That was it was his lawyer, Brett. Oh, yeah, it was it was a personal lawyer, right? For New York. Yeah. Um, what are your thoughts on the, um, the FC in the buckle? Do you think that's going to come back and haunt the entire administration of people are going to go to jail when the Democrats get in or is going to be a part of the oversight? I think it's all bullshit. I think the whole Epstein thing is a load of bullshit. Okay. The Democrats, that's a political football. I always thought that about the, you know, because they all say, we got MTG in the hole in the Hassee with him and everything. Yeah. Um, but you know, look, the Democrats, if they wanted it, they could have gotten it under Biden. Biden was just, and by the way, um, you know, Epstein was a Democrat, you know, what the triangulation of Epstein was the Democrats here, the labor party in the UK, and the labor party in Israel. So he was a, practically a Democrat operative. He was like a blue church operative, let's say, uh, Trump probably had him killed. I mean, most like it was, it was during the Trump administration, yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't know the Trump administration. Yeah, it was bill bar that picked him up, you know, and he died under Trump. So I think the Democrats, they just wanted that to go off on it for obvious reasons, because now this is how you get the Trump base to be deflated. Yeah. But it's, I mean, it's all bullshit. What really came out of the files? Nothing. Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, just, I mean, people were just doing control apps the whole time. Like, yeah, your name's in there. Your name's in there. It was such a nothing burger. They had three fucking million files. And you don't, you don't got one thing. Yeah. Nothing that, and everybody hated me for saying that, but look, I'm honest, you know, did we find a smoking gun in the files? No, people want to point to one stupid email that's totally vague that, that, uh, you know, people are just assuming is there something bad? And so much of it was just fake. People are posting like AI images that weren't even in the files. Someone, someone submitted an FBI tip saying, Oh, here's like a video of Epstein abuse. It was some like fetish porn video, nothing to do with Epstein. So I think it was a big nothing burger. And then, of course, we release all the files and then people go, well, what's in the three million other files? You go, okay, so what's going to happen whether or nothing than there? Yeah, you know, I think it's a promise. I think it's important for people to understand that like, you know, there's a reason why they couldn't like push a full on, uh, chrome investigation to all the people involved, right? Like it's the FBI tried, you know, and they just weren't able to build enough probable costs and dial out these other people that were involved. So like, you know, you know, which, which you know, what you can prove are two completely different things in people tend to not, to not know that. Now, I mean, you know, let me read this quote.
