=== Kicking Off The Big Story (05:50) ===

[00:00:00]  As the U.S. war in Iran rages on, psyops, propaganda, and manipulation is abound.
[00:00:07]  And there have been rumors going around for some time that Mojtaba Khomeini, the new supreme leader, is in fact dead.
[00:00:13]  We haven't seen him.
[00:00:14]  We don't exactly know what's going on.
[00:00:16]  He may have lost his leg.
[00:00:18]  Some reports have come out saying he's flown to Moscow for emergency surgery amid new reports that Iran has stated definitively they are receiving support from Russia and China in this war.
[00:00:30]  The Strait of Hormuz remains closed and oil per barrel, it is going way up in price.
[00:00:37]  Gas prices expect it to climb.
[00:00:39]  But my friends, in what may be one of the most ridiculous and hilarious bits of war propaganda, apparently Moshtaba Khomeini is alive and a homosexual.
[00:00:54]  That's it.
[00:00:55]  He likes guys.
[00:00:56]  He is into guys.
[00:00:58]  Now, apparently when Trump and his administration found out this Intel report, they all started busting out laughing.
[00:01:06]  Apparently Trump couldn't stop laughing and one staffer just wouldn't stop.
[00:01:11]  That's how funny they thought this was.
[00:01:13]  I got to be honest, I think this is probably just a psyop.
[00:01:17]  Like a psychological operation isn't always some grand conspiracy.
[00:01:20]  This is PR.
[00:01:21]  This is a stunt.
[00:01:22]  This is besmirch the name of Khomeini, but I mean, maybe he's gay.
[00:01:27]  The reporting suggests that Ali Khomeini, the now dead former supreme leader, didn't think that his son could effectively run things.
[00:01:36]  And so he didn't want to hand it over to him, partly because he was a homosexual.
[00:01:41]  And in Iran, that's a no-no for a variety of reasons with really horrifying results.
[00:01:49]  So perhaps the effort here in this reporting, it's not so much about confirming that the new supreme leader is a gay man, but to damage his reputation among potential allies in the region because they really don't like homosexuality.
[00:02:07]  Or it's just to make Americans on the right laugh at him and to, in a sense, poison the well.
[00:02:15]  Not that anyone's got great respect for Mushtaba Khomeini anyway, but my friends, it's looking like whatever this may be, the war is kicking up.
[00:02:24]  It is going to continue.
[00:02:25]  Gas prices will be affected.
[00:02:27]  And it depends on who you ask.
[00:02:29]  But the pro-MAGA, for the most part, I mean, guys, Republicans generally support these efforts by Donald Trump largely in all the polls we've tracked.
[00:02:38]  Democrats oppose it.
[00:02:39]  However, independent voters, moderates largely oppose this as well, which is bad, bad news for Trump, as he needs a coalition going into these midterms to win.
[00:02:52]  I don't see how they're going to win it back.
[00:02:54]  But at the bare minimum, I can talk to you about what's currently going on in this world and whether or not this man is gay.
[00:03:01]  And I guess whether or not it matters.
[00:03:04]  The truth is, this is just a kicking off for the big story.
[00:03:07]  What is currently going on?
[00:03:08]  Who's the new supreme leader?
[00:03:09]  Is he alive?
[00:03:09]  And will this war end?
[00:03:11]  And what does it mean for us, my friends?
[00:03:14]  The data shows it.
[00:03:15]  Young people do not support Israel.
[00:03:19]  They just don't.
[00:03:21]  Not even right-leaning and Republican Gen Z.
[00:03:23]  They do not support Israel.
[00:03:25]  I believe we're going to see a big media shift.
[00:03:27]  Things are going to change.
[00:03:29]  And we're going to go back to the, I don't know, it's like, what, 70 years of Americans just waving American flags and Israeli flags?
[00:03:37]  I believe that era is coming back.
[00:03:39]  And I think largely what we're seeing is a battle for the mind of the American people.
[00:03:43]  Your average American does not care about Israel at all.
[00:03:47]  Those who are used to the liberal economic order petro-dollar conflict, boomers, largely, they love Israel.
[00:03:55]  And I genuinely believe this.
[00:03:57]  While there certainly are many well-learned individuals deeply critical of Israel, which I always say absolutely loud, and I have respect for many people who are very critical of Israel.
[00:04:07]  I do believe for a lot of the younger generation, their disdain for Israel, their views are largely built upon social media machines.
[00:04:16]  And as soon as the powers that be reclaim those machines, the narrative indeed will change.
[00:04:21]  Notably, the capture of TikTok.
[00:04:24]  I'm sorry, the purchase of TikTok.
[00:04:26]  The shifting of CBS.
[00:04:27]  I think these things are fairly obvious that we're going to see a machine that says Israel good.
[00:04:33]  Now, whether or not, look, I always say this, like I'm ambivalent.
[00:04:37]  I understand U.S. military operations in the Middle East, why the United States supports Israel.
[00:04:41]  But man, are there a lot of people who believe the craziest things about Israel?
[00:04:46]  Like they're the center of the universe and the boogeyman controlling everything.
[00:04:49]  Guys, calm down.
[00:04:52]  Just read the news, assess.
[00:04:54]  But let's break this all down so I stop rambling.
[00:04:57]  Before we get into the news about whether or not the new Supreme Leader is a homosexual, head over to TimCast.com and join our Discord community.
[00:05:05]  Guys, there are tens of thousands of people hanging out every day.
[00:05:09]  They're sharing ideas.
[00:05:10]  They're starting new projects.
[00:05:12]  Community is our strength, not diversity.
[00:05:16]  When we come together and share ideas and build upon them, that's how we do great things.
[00:05:21]  It's how we build rocket ships and satellites.
[00:05:24]  It's how we build cars that can go so fast they break record over and over and over again.
[00:05:30]  And our community may not be the biggest, most powerful, but together we can share ideas, help reshape this country for the better, create a new culture.
[00:05:40]  But it's only going to happen if you guys sign up, join, and support the work that we do and get involved.
[00:05:45]  Check that out at Timcast.com.
[00:05:47]  But let's get back to the news.
[00:05:48]  Don't forget to also smash the like button.

=== Rumors Of A Coma (07:11) ===

[00:05:50]  Share this video everywhere.
[00:05:52]  If you could do that, it'd be tremendously helpful.
[00:05:55]  As if everybody who watched shared this video, it would be the number one video in the country.
[00:06:00]  Look, I got like 200,000 views.
[00:06:02]  Imagine if 200,000 shares.
[00:06:03]  It'd be massive.
[00:06:04]  The New York Post says Trump briefed that Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mustabah Khomeini, is probably gay.
[00:06:10]  And the president has a priceless reaction.
[00:06:12]  President Trump was stunned to learn last week that the U.S. intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mustabah Khomeini may be gay.
[00:06:18]  And that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason.
[00:06:25]  Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed out loud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.
[00:06:32]  Others in the room also found it hilarious and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official has not stopped laughing about it for days.
[00:06:45]  What is even going on at this point, guys?
[00:06:48]  Here's a picture of Moshtaba Khomeini, who they say may be gay.
[00:06:53]  Okay.
[00:06:54]  The shocking claim was described in the post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.
[00:07:00]  All three sources say the implausible sounding allegation is viewed as credible by U.S. spy agencies rather than false information intended to undermine Khomeini, Khomeini, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8th.
[00:07:14]  Two of the sources said the intelligence indicates that Mushtaba, who earned the nickname the power behind the robes while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.
[00:07:28]  Wait, what?
[00:07:29]  So like pedophilic gay stuff?
[00:07:32]  The third source said the world really is run by pedophiles.
[00:07:35]  The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khomeini family.
[00:07:40]  Mushtaba, who was believed to have been wounded in the February 20th airstrike that killed his father, has made aggressive sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of the post sources said.
[00:07:53]  U.S. spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mushta Khomeini's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insist the tip is solid, with one saying it was derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has.
[00:08:07]  It's just the most ridiculous war propaganda.
[00:08:11]  Guys, this guy might be dead.
[00:08:13]  No one's seen him since.
[00:08:15]  Some reports that he's in a coma.
[00:08:16]  His leg got blown off.
[00:08:19]  Trump has said, we don't even know if he's alive.
[00:08:20]  He may actually be dead.
[00:08:22]  And they're sitting here running a story claiming that he might be gay.
[00:08:24]  Guys, he might be dead.
[00:08:27]  The fact that this was elevated to the highest of levels shows you there's some confidence in this.
[00:08:32]  Mushtaba's purported sexual orientation has been whispered about inside Iran since at least May 2024, since the crash that killed then President Ebrahim Raisi.
[00:08:43]  Ali Khomeini's presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said, when the U.S. government has been pretty closely held piece of information.
[00:08:50]  Trump previously dismissed Mushtaba Khomeini as a lightweight and an unacceptable choice to run Iran.
[00:08:55]  The new Supreme Leader is widely considered to be someone who would not bend to U.S. demands to abandon the nuclear and ballistic missile programs that prompted Operation Epic Fury.
[00:09:04]  Some elements of Mushtaba Khomeini's sex life have been reported before and may lead credence to the allegation.
[00:09:10]  A classified U.S. diplomatic cable from 2008 published by Wikileaks described Mushtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition.
[00:09:21]  The State Department file says Mushtaba married relatively late in life around age 30, reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK and Wellington and Cromwell hospitals.
[00:09:33]  Mushtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment.
[00:09:38]  After a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant.
[00:09:41]  Mushtaba's wife Zahra and teenage son Mohammed Bagr reportedly died in the airstrike that killed his father.
[00:09:48]  Wow.
[00:09:49]  The new supreme leader has another son and daughter.
[00:09:52]  The allegation of homosexuality was alluded to in a CBS news report on Sunday that said the elder Khomeini, who had ruled Iran since 1989, preferred a different successor in part because of unspecified issues in Mushtaba's personal life.
[00:10:05]  His father and others suspected he was gay, and that was something that people were spreading to try to stop his ascension.
[00:10:11]  Oh my God.
[00:10:12]  Okay, they say, you know, I know a lot of people are already commenting homosexual.
[00:10:16]  I'm saying like that on purpose because I think it's funny.
[00:10:18]  Homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations, which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties.
[00:10:29]  Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others.
[00:10:38]  In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is believed to be an ally of the Khomeini, claimed in 07.
[00:10:46]  Excuse me.
[00:10:47]  One of the post sources said that although it is generally frowned upon to out people against their will, there's a clear case of hypocrisy to justify doing so against Mushta.
[00:10:55]  If there was ever a time where it was okay to out somebody, it would be when it's a leader of a repressive Islamic theocracy that hangs gay people by cranes.
[00:11:04]  Mushtaba Khomeini's current whereabouts and the status of his recovery remain murky.
[00:11:08]  Well, my friends, not so murky.
[00:11:10]  We have this story from Hindustan Times.
[00:11:12]  Hearing Mojtaba Khomeini is not alive.
[00:11:15]  Trump shares chilling claim on Iran's supreme leader amid war.
[00:11:19]  Now, let me just tell you this, my friends.
[00:11:21]  Saying the man may be dead is a bold claim that's hard to verify.
[00:11:26]  And death is a factor of war.
[00:11:28]  It's not embarrassing.
[00:11:30]  It's just a question of whether the country will persist.
[00:11:32]  But claiming that he's gay can strip him of any support he might have in his country, whether he's dead or alive.
[00:11:39]  Donald Trump provided insight into Iran's supreme leader's Mustaba Khomeini's status.
[00:11:44]  I believe it's pronounced Mojtaba, but you know, who am I?
[00:11:46]  I'm just an American guy.
[00:11:48]  Trump was speaking to NBC News.
[00:11:50]  He said, quote, I don't know if he's even alive.
[00:11:52]  So far, nobody's been able to show him.
[00:11:55]  While Trump called news of his death a rumor, the bodies continued, I'm hearing he's not alive.
[00:11:59]  And if he is, he should do something very, very smart for his country, and that is surrender.
[00:12:04]  The Telegraph reports, Mustabah Khomeini has called for Iranian unity, but he may not be alive.
[00:12:10]  A rallying call to the people, albeit in a written statement, has done little to alleviate rumors that he's dead.
[00:12:16]  Four days after being selected as Iran's supreme leader and nearly two weeks into the war that killed his immediate family, Mustabah released his first statement.
[00:12:23]  It was not a speech.
[00:12:23]  It was not a video address.
[00:12:24]  It was a written message read aloud by a state television news anchor.
[00:12:28]  The message warned the U.S. to close its Gulf bases immediately or the host countries would face further attacks.
[00:12:34]  The straight-off moves should remain blocked, and there would be revenge for every Iranian killed by U.S.-Israeli bombs, including special retribution for the children killed at the girls' school in Minab, probably because of a U.S. Tomahawk missile.
[00:12:49]  Well, my friends, the Sun reports the same thing.
[00:12:52]  Dead or alive, Iran's injured new leader flown to Moscow for a leg surgery after Putin personally offered to help as death rumors swirl.
[00:13:00]  Indeed.

=== Written Warning To U.S (02:27) ===

[00:13:02]  Iran's new supreme leader, Mustabah Khomeini, is a no-show at his own succession rally.
[00:13:06]  The charisma of a boiled potato.
[00:13:09]  His own succession?
[00:13:11]  He wasn't there.
[00:13:12]  Guys, I think he's dead.
[00:13:14]  I don't think this man is actually alive.
[00:13:16]  Now, where we go as a country, things will be interesting.
[00:13:19]  The U.S. is divided on the war in Iran, but the questions I know that many of you ask is how will this affect me?
[00:13:25]  And, well, let's just roll, baby.
[00:13:27]  From the New York Post, gas prices reach highest level since October 2023 as oil holds above $100 per barrel.
[00:13:35]  U.S. stocks jump.
[00:13:37]  Now, Trump has made a series of comments over the past couple of weeks that have really angered his coalition.
[00:13:42]  That is, he said, glyphosate is great and we love it.
[00:13:45]  And Maha just went, meh.
[00:13:47]  And then he said, high gas prices are good because it means we're going to make a lot of money because we produce so much of it.
[00:13:53]  High oil prices, I should say.
[00:13:55]  Well, gas prices are starting to spike.
[00:13:57]  And this is not good for the American people because they need gas to do their jobs, to get to their jobs, to deliver things, to receive things.
[00:14:03]  And when gas goes up, everything goes up.
[00:14:07]  There's a great scene in Landman where Billy Bob Thornton talks about the price of oil being perfect at around $77, $80 a barrel.
[00:14:14]  The reason being is that you can make a good profit, but when it goes up, the price of everything else goes up, which constrains the market and is bad for the economy in general.
[00:14:22]  So there's a sweet spot.
[00:14:24]  They try to keep oil at a certain level.
[00:14:26]  What that really means, my friends, is the price of a barrel of crude is actually tied to the amount of, I would say, low-skilled labor.
[00:14:36]  Oil is what backs the dollar, not gold.
[00:14:39]  So when he says there's a sweet spot in the cost of oil, what he's really saying is oil compared to the amount someone would receive for doing the lowest tier of work.
[00:14:49]  What that means, really?
[00:14:51]  Right now, we're in a tough spot.
[00:14:53]  Minimum wage doesn't pay the bills.
[00:14:55]  So people struggle to get by.
[00:14:56]  They're not having families.
[00:14:57]  They're not buying homes, and this is a problem.
[00:14:59]  Things need to be more affordable, which means we do need cheaper energy.
[00:15:04]  Now, as for the landman quote, they're talking about the record profits they would make while the machine stays stable.
[00:15:08]  In fact, cheaper energy would be a lot better because it would mean people would have to work less and they would receive more.
[00:15:15]  And we desperately need that if we want people to be able to buy homes and have families.
[00:15:19]  And right now, it is not something that is so easily done.
[00:15:23]  In the meantime, the challenge we face as gas prices go up, that doesn't seem to be an end in sight.

=== Gas Prices Spike Again (14:21) ===

[00:15:29]  While it's true, most Americans do not want this war.
[00:15:32]  Republicans largely are in support of it.
[00:15:35]  One thing is true is that even among Republicans that do support it, they're skeptical and they're worried, but they want Trump to succeed.
[00:15:40]  Many Trump supporters are die-hard in favor of it.
[00:15:43]  Many Republicans say, well, I don't like it, but we got to win this one.
[00:15:47]  We got to see it through.
[00:15:48]  We can't half-ass this.
[00:15:50]  And that makes a lot of sense.
[00:15:51]  Me, I would say this.
[00:15:52]  I didn't vote for it.
[00:15:53]  I don't want it.
[00:15:54]  I don't think it's going to work out all that well.
[00:15:56]  It is possible that it can.
[00:15:58]  And because Trump has largely succeeded with Venezuela, I got to say, I'm not going to be blinded by what we refer to as post-intervention stress disorder, or pissed, as Ian pointed out.
[00:16:10]  From the Gulf wars we've had throughout our lifetime, little success, little success.
[00:16:16]  In which case, many of us, the millennials and the younger generation, do not want this because we have only seen bad things.
[00:16:24]  But that doesn't mean that every instance of military strike or intervention is going to be bad.
[00:16:28]  What we know is that Iran has been arming Houthi rebels.
[00:16:31]  They've been attacking civilian vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade.
[00:16:35]  We know they've been arming Iraqi militias in the Gulf region, and it's been causing tremendous problems for us and our bases and ability to stabilize trade in the region.
[00:16:44]  They have threatened, and then they did, shut down the Strait of Hormuz, for which 20% of global gas and oil traverses.
[00:16:52]  They have allegedly mined it now because some ships were risking it and just trying to go through.
[00:16:58]  We have seen several ships bombed and destroyed trying to make this journey.
[00:17:02]  I do not believe one nation, Iran, should have the right to disrupt 20% of the world's free and fair oil exchanges.
[00:17:14]  Now, don't get me wrong.
[00:17:15]  You want to make arguments about the petrodale system being bad, whatever you want to say, my point is this.
[00:17:20]  There is stability to a certain degree with oil trade.
[00:17:24]  Iran threatens that every day.
[00:17:26]  This is why the U.S. doesn't like Iran and they want regime change.
[00:17:30]  The reason why Israel doesn't like Iran is because Iran funds Hezbollah and Hamas, who are trying to destroy Israel, and Iran wants to destroy Israel.
[00:17:38]  Now, Israel has its motivations.
[00:17:40]  Being a functional military base for the United States, the U.S. largely aligns with what Israel wants because it wants Israel to do things.
[00:17:47]  Israel then asserts pressure on the United States because Israel wants the U.S. to do things.
[00:17:51]  This war seems to have been started because Israel was planning on striking Iran, and I believe they knew full well the U.S. would have no choice but to join them in these strikes.
[00:18:00]  Marco Rubio said that if they did not join Israel, that they would maintain a defensive posture for which Iran would strike U.S. targets, killing U.S. personnel.
[00:18:10]  And in order to prevent maximum damage, they had to join in the attack.
[00:18:14]  Everybody understood what that meant.
[00:18:16]  Israel said, we're going to do it with or without you, but we know it puts you in a bind.
[00:18:20]  So the U.S. had no choice.
[00:18:21]  And because we're aligned with Israel, our hand was forced.
[00:18:25]  Now, many people have argued, no, no.
[00:18:26]  Rubio went on to say that we did intend and believe it necessary to strike Iran, just not yet.
[00:18:32]  Well, that may be.
[00:18:33]  Either way, the point is this.
[00:18:35]  Whether we were planning on starting the war or not, Israel was the starting gun that forced us in at this time.
[00:18:42]  And I think that's unacceptable.
[00:18:43]  And I think many Americans are going to be pissed about it.
[00:18:46]  However, the people that are claiming that we are only doing this for the ideology of Israel and messianic era and all this other stuff, it's like guys, please pay attention.
[00:18:55]  Please.
[00:18:57]  This Israel derangement syndrome stuff.
[00:18:59]  Listen, there's real reasons to criticize Israel.
[00:19:02]  Always has been.
[00:19:03]  They're a country.
[00:19:04]  There's reasons to criticize almost every single country all the time, and some are worse than others.
[00:19:08]  The U.S. involvement here is for gas.
[00:19:11]  You think Trump cares about Israel's ideology?
[00:19:15]  Trump wants cheap gas.
[00:19:17]  He wants to lower inflation.
[00:19:19]  He's trying to get a new Fed chair.
[00:19:22]  He wants oil to flow so prices can come down, and Iran threatens that.
[00:19:27]  Now, again, as I pointed out, Israel pushed our, forced our hand, pressured us to begin this conflict, but Trump very much is happy to do it.
[00:19:36]  I got to be honest.
[00:19:36]  Probably saying, we bomb them now, short-term pain, long-term gain.
[00:19:40]  And that is the narrative that has been released throughout the corporate press.
[00:19:44]  Short-term pain, long-term gain.
[00:19:46]  You've heard it on CNN and Fox News.
[00:19:49]  Now, here's the problem.
[00:19:51]  From United 24, Iran officially confirms military support from Russia and China in war against the U.S.
[00:19:59]  This could prolong the conflict.
[00:20:01]  And that is the challenge.
[00:20:03]  Because if this does not resolve soon, it's going to get bad.
[00:20:07]  And this is a midterm year.
[00:20:09]  So it was a very bad play on Trump's part, in my opinion, to make this move.
[00:20:14]  Now, Iran's strategy has been total war and no surrender.
[00:20:18]  Why?
[00:20:19]  Iran views this as an existential crisis.
[00:20:22]  If they do not win, they cease to exist, or at least the current form of their government and culture.
[00:20:28]  They also know that Donald Trump is in a political year, and he cannot sustain this conflict for political reasons.
[00:20:36]  And that is just so sad and disgusting.
[00:20:39]  It is bad.
[00:20:39]  Not that I like the war, guys, I don't.
[00:20:42]  But I'm not so, like, I put it like this, Trump really succeeded in Venezuela.
[00:20:47]  And Venezuela's issue, this was justice.
[00:20:49]  They stole U.S. oil assets that we had a treaty on.
[00:20:53]  We shook hands with these people.
[00:20:55]  We spent tens of billions of dollars on oil infrastructure, and then Chavez stole it from us.
[00:21:00]  And we did nothing until Trump came in and said no more.
[00:21:04]  And cutting off Cuba in the process, who also has been adversarial.
[00:21:09]  Now, what the issue with Iran, my friends, they know that Trump's in a political year.
[00:21:14]  If he can't get this solved quickly, it's going to cost him the midterms.
[00:21:18]  And their bet is that after the midterms, Trump will be handcuffed.
[00:21:22]  So they only need to sustain this conflict for what?
[00:21:27]  Eight more months?
[00:21:29]  That's it.
[00:21:30]  And then Trump's going to be in trouble.
[00:21:32]  Now, to be fair, January 3rd, when the new Congress comes in, they're going to lock Trump up.
[00:21:37]  And that's what they're betting on.
[00:21:39]  My friends, the challenge we face in the end is that these failures have resulted in a millennial generation and Gen Z that say enough.
[00:21:47]  And I'm going to throw it to our friend Marjorie Taylor Greene to break down for you her perspective on this one.
[00:21:52]  And I'll add to this, not entirely in agreement, but let's listen to what she has to say.
[00:21:56]  Obviously, there are a lot of Trump supporters where you are.
[00:21:59]  Are you hearing from them that they believe President Trump is doing this on behalf of Israel?
[00:22:04]  Bring us there.
[00:22:07]  It's actually very split, and it's split along generational lines.
[00:22:12]  Many of the older Americans from the baby boomer generation that watch Fox News all day long very much believe the talking points on Fox News.
[00:22:23]  And they've spent decades of their lives convinced that fighting these wars is the right thing to do.
[00:22:30]  But the younger generations, I'm Gen X, millennials and Gen Z are very much against this war.
[00:22:38]  And so when you talk to people on the ground, that's how it comes across.
[00:22:43]  It's very generational.
[00:22:44]  And the younger generations are completely against it.
[00:22:49]  We want world peace.
[00:22:50]  We want good trade.
[00:22:52]  We want a great economy.
[00:22:54]  We want to lower inflation, lower the cost of housing.
[00:22:57]  And younger generations want to be able to afford their American lives.
[00:23:02]  and they don't want their taxpayer dollars shipped off to, and you can fill in any foreign country.
[00:23:07]  We'll take Israel out of it.
[00:23:09]  They don't want their money sent overseas.
[00:23:12]  And you know what?
[00:23:13]  They're right for saying this.
[00:23:14]  This is absolutely absurd, and it's 100% a betrayal to what MAGA was supposed to be when we voted it.
[00:23:24]  No, I largely agree.
[00:23:25]  And I think what we can see here from support for Israel and Palestine is that the younger generation very much is not in support of Israel.
[00:23:34]  And the data we've seen from Pew is that among all demographics, it's about 54% negative towards Israel.
[00:23:40]  I believe this will change.
[00:23:41]  I believe that it's a large component among younger generation of social media.
[00:23:45]  But the narrative machine is coming back.
[00:23:47]  It doesn't matter that I say this today.
[00:23:49]  It doesn't matter what I end up saying tomorrow.
[00:23:50]  The truth is the powers that be have begun to buy up the media and they're going to shape those narratives.
[00:23:55]  At the same time, artificial intelligent content is flooding social media and making it much, much more difficult for independent personalities to stay afloat.
[00:24:03]  You need to maintain a certain threshold of money.
[00:24:05]  These big corporations just don't because they control massive IP movies.
[00:24:09]  They can subsidize the news.
[00:24:11]  And they will.
[00:24:12]  Excuse me.
[00:24:12]  And they have.
[00:24:13]  Like, look at CNN.
[00:24:15]  So what's going to happen?
[00:24:16]  We know that the machine supports Israel.
[00:24:19]  We know the politicians almost exclusively support Israel.
[00:24:22]  I mean, even Donald Trump, he's the outsider, right?
[00:24:25]  Well, when the powers that be get a hold of these narrative machines on social media, which they have, it's going to flip.
[00:24:31]  You're going to see less and less sympathy for the enemies of the United States and Israel and more and more support.
[00:24:36]  But I'm going to tell you, my guys, I'm going to tell you guys, my guys, it is not about Israel controlling the United States.
[00:24:44]  It is about the United States wanting to control all international waterways, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal, and the Northwest Passage.
[00:24:52]  Israel gets us to that end.
[00:24:54]  Of course, Israel benefits for their ideological reasons.
[00:24:57]  They want their country.
[00:24:59]  They want to get rid of, you know, I think it's fair to say, they don't want a Palestine.
[00:25:03]  They're slowly taking the West Bank and Gaza.
[00:25:06]  It will all assimilate sooner or later.
[00:25:09]  But the U.S.'s interest is military control in the region for the Suez, and Iran disrupts that.
[00:25:16]  This country, as Marjorie Taylor Greene points out, is a young generation that just wants to survive.
[00:25:20]  Trump wants cheap gas, so he wants to embolden the petro-dollar system.
[00:25:24]  He wants Saudi Arabia back on that system.
[00:25:27]  He wants Iran to fall in line or GTFO.
[00:25:30]  And that's where we are headed.
[00:25:32]  So call it what you want.
[00:25:34]  Short-term pain, long-term gain is what they've been saying in the media.
[00:25:38]  But it's true.
[00:25:39]  The only question is the morality of it.
[00:25:41]  Is it right for us to force other countries to bend to our will so we can maintain this system?
[00:25:47]  I'm not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't believe, what is moral or is not.
[00:25:51]  Certainly, I can see the benefits of the petro-dollar system.
[00:25:54]  We live like kings in America, and we do substantially less work than most other countries for what we get.
[00:25:59]  And what we do is police the oceans to make sure that the trade is happening.
[00:26:04]  Iran defies that system.
[00:26:06]  So does Russia and China.
[00:26:07]  And so Trump has said, we're going to fight about it.
[00:26:11]  Trump's strategy with Russia, however, he said, look, you're Christians, you're Western, you're European, you're not entirely Eastern.
[00:26:18]  You should be with us.
[00:26:19]  And he has been negotiating with Putin to get these deals.
[00:26:23]  The Western powers, the UN, et cetera, they did not NATO.
[00:26:26]  They did not like Russia.
[00:26:27]  They did not trust Vladimir Putin.
[00:26:28]  Putin saw himself as he wants a unipolar Soviet world.
[00:26:33]  He wants the Soviet Union back.
[00:26:34]  He's building the Russian Trade Federation.
[00:26:36]  And so they said, you're at odds with our command structure, and we don't want to bring you in because you'll take over.
[00:26:40]  So they kicked him out.
[00:26:42]  Trump says, don't know, don't care, bring them back in.
[00:26:45]  We want people in our system, not out of it.
[00:26:48]  This is what it seems to be.
[00:26:49]  This is what seems to be the direction that we're going.
[00:26:52]  Younger Americans have a more favorable opinion of the Palestinian people than the Israeli people.
[00:26:57]  And what's interesting about this data is that it's largely predicated upon the October 7th attacks.
[00:27:03]  Following this, we saw a massive burst of support for Israel.
[00:27:08]  But then it flipped.
[00:27:10]  And it flipped in a really interesting and obvious way.
[00:27:12]  On TikTok, the amount of mentions of pro-Israel content were massive.
[00:27:16]  Seemingly over one weekend, it inverted.
[00:27:19]  That is indicative of an algorithmic change.
[00:27:22]  The presumption was that the owners of TikTok suppressed pro-Israeli content and pumped pro-Palestine content.
[00:27:31]  Young people wanting to fit in and join the trends began to pump out pro-Palestine content.
[00:27:38]  Now I say this.
[00:27:39]  Guys, there are going to be a lot of people who just refuse to believe it.
[00:27:42]  I'm not here to lie to you or blow smoke up your asses, okay?
[00:27:45]  This is what actually happened.
[00:27:47]  You can be critical of Israel.
[00:27:48]  That's fine.
[00:27:49]  You can be critical of the Palestinians or Hamas specifically.
[00:27:52]  That's fine too.
[00:27:53]  Before the war gets over, I'm not telling you not to.
[00:27:55]  But understand this.
[00:27:56]  What I'm saying is the most likely outcome.
[00:28:02]  Understanding, Republicans wanted to ban TikTok because it was pro-Democrat.
[00:28:07]  Democrats said no.
[00:28:09]  Then when we saw this data from Axios showing this inversion that was opposed to Israel, all of a sudden Democrats and Republicans got on board with banning TikTok.
[00:28:18]  Trump came out and was like, no, no, we don't want to do this.
[00:28:22]  And then it was purchased.
[00:28:24]  And now people are reporting that TikTok is banning anti-Israel content.
[00:28:30]  Doesn't it make it all fairly obvious to you?
[00:28:32]  And people go, Tim's admitting it was Israel.
[00:28:34]  Yet Democrats got calls from their donors who said TikTok is anti-Israel and they're doing it on purpose.
[00:28:41]  Shut her down.
[00:28:42]  Trump, he said banning it won't solve the problem.
[00:28:45]  This actually fairly, look, I said this.
[00:28:47]  They passed the law.
[00:28:48]  Biden signed it.
[00:28:49]  It's banned.
[00:28:49]  Trump shouldn't be allowed to just stop it.
[00:28:51]  To be fair, the smarter play for control is what Trump did.
[00:28:55]  Sell it to an American interest.
[00:28:57]  Get everybody on your side.
[00:28:59]  You get all these prominent progressives being like, oh my God, Trump saved TikTok.
[00:29:03]  And now TikTok will be pro-Israel.
[00:29:05]  And YouTube is going to be.
[00:29:07]  And all of these independent channels that are anti-Israel are going to be drowned out by AI.
[00:29:11]  And everybody else will be purchased by big networks because we're already starting to see it.
[00:29:16]  The big networks are going to purchase the people who are not anti-Israel.
[00:29:20]  I say purchase, but I should say invest in or acquire, sign deals with.
[00:29:25]  And then you're going to see the big networks are going to host prominent podcasts and they will get tens of millions of views.
[00:29:31]  Why?
[00:29:32]  Well, because on social media, it'll be noise.
[00:29:35]  It'll be thumbing through the one-minute clip, snippets, snippets, snippets, where people will spend most of their time.
[00:29:41]  But in terms of actual thought leadership, it's going to be the big networks and they're not going to be hiring on these Israel posters and Kirk posters.
[00:29:49]  So I tell you this.
