Tim Tompkins and Rex Jones dismantle claims that President Trump was dragged into war by Israel, citing 85% Republican support for strikes against Iran and exposing Joe Kent's resignation as a moral stand against an illegal agenda. They detail the USS Gerald R. Ford's 14-month grounding due to a laundry fire, criticize the Pentagon's $200 billion funding request amidst eight failed audits, and expose the "revolving door" between defense giants like Lockheed Martin and government officials. The hosts argue that monopolies drive up costs while politicians collude to protect local jobs, dismissing moon base plans as distractions from China's dominance and linking Epstein file suppression to a broader narrative control strategy involving foreign actors.

If you spend too much time on Twitter or get your news from the liberal mainstream media, you may have gotten the impression that the president's supporters are abandoning him in droves over Operation Epic Fury, his war to prevent your grandchildren from having to face off against a nuclear-armed Iran.
Our hapless president has been dragged into this war against his will by the nefarious Bibi Netanyahu, according to people like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megan Kelly, and now Joe Kent.
Alas, none of that is true.
The narrative that MAGA is split over Iran, beloved by the liberal media and the anti-Israel far left and right, is complete fiction.
Far from a betrayal, poll after poll after poll has found massive, overwhelming support for the president's strikes on Iran among Republican voters, upwards of 85%.
And he walked off and he went, I believe, into the oval.
So when one of President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship with the Israelis.
And then he's suddenly publicly assassinated and we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.
Rex Jones and Tim Tompkins hosting the American Journal.
Whatever you're doing, whether you're on your morning drive, getting your morning coffee, maybe lifting at the gym or taking care of your kids, welcome to the show today.
I mean, it's like you're the biggest celebrity on earth if you're involved in politics and then something happens to you and then suddenly everyone knows your name.
You know, like if Trump gets in a fight with MTG, everyone knows who MTG is from now on.
Like when Trump gets in a fight with Joe Kent or when Joe, when Joe Kent leaves the administration, everyone knows who he is now, right?
So you see people like Tucker and Levin and they do these interviews and they put them behind paywalls.
It's like, okay, like we understand, like we get what you're doing, but like, can you be a little less shameless about it, maybe?
It has to do with that with the United States and actually the missile capability of Iran itself because they said they could only reach 2,000 miles, but that location's a lot further away.
It's crazy because I must have asked like 100 people, right?
I must have asked 100 people questions and only like maybe eight to 10 responded to me.
So like maybe you can get like 10% of people to even like give you like a passing glance or like acknowledge the question of like, hey, you know, this giant war that's happening that you're all paying for?
Like what are your thoughts?
What are your opinions on that?
And be like, oh, you know, I don't, I don't like government.
And you're like, okay, well, that's, that's kind of cool.
Like, are you going to act on that?
Like, are you going to protest or are you involved in this?
Are you gathering information about the war?
I don't, I'm not going to talk about that, man, because people have jobs, people work.
I understand that.
But ultimately, the one person that was proud of their opinion was the person that was pro-war.
You're not imposing yourself on people and you're on a public sidewalk, right?
So it's about having the mindset of, okay, I'm allowed to ask people questions.
And in fact, I should be proud of that because I'm an American citizen exercising my right to journalism and the First Amendment.
And that's what that is.
It's grassroots on the ground journalism.
And like what you find with people that start doing stuff like that, like when I started doing stuff like that, it made me a lot more comfortable just talking to people in regular life about politics, which is why I really like that format.
And I think it should be more widespread and should exist everywhere because that's something I think we all need.
That takes us getting aware and focusing on our political process.
And actually, like we do in the deep dives, which is why I'm always so happy to do the deep dives, it's got to be based in data and information instead of like, I love Trump or I hate Trump.
Just like a doctor, if they give you like a pill or whatever, they have to tell you if it might like, I don't know, do something bad to you, right?
So like, hey, like, if we're going to have these giant omnibus spending packages, if we're just going to go 200 billion Ukraine, 200 billion, you get 100 billion Iran war.
If we're just going to toss money out like this, well, like, what's the actual cost on the people?
Where does this actually come from?
What does it look like over time for the nation?
And we don't do these things because it's just like, yeah, like we don't look at it.
And that's why we went from 17 trillion under Trump's first term to now we're close to 40.
Well, I mean, it's like I said, like being on the street, the vast majority of people, they won't even acknowledge you.
And the ones that will acknowledge you realize that something is wrong, but they're too busy.
They're too tired to do something about it.
And like it was positive to see that the only person that was pro-war was like someone that was like 70 years old, right?
Like that was positive to see.
There are tons of people yelling various things and whatnot.
Nobody wanted to engage.
They wanted to yell things like Free Palestine and whatnot, which I agree with, by the way.
But here's the thing.
If you have an opinion like that and you can't back it up with facts or logic, it's just something you believe because you've been taught to believe it.
Well, like you actually are hurting your own cause, right?
Because you can't defend it and then someone's going to come dunk on you.
But then we realize as we do these deep dives or as we give more information or look into the specifics, the headline is almost never reflective of what's actually happening in these situations.
It's almost cartoon bad the way they write things.
You know, they design it to be framed in a way so that the low propensity voter, the low information person that's just going to be like, oh, like I'm like a girl scrolling on my cell phone.
And I was like, oh, uh-oh, I see it on Snapchat news, so it must be true.
It must be true.
Iran is defeated.
That's the thing is that I've talked to some of these people and they think things are going on that just aren't real.
I mean, this girl, and I'm remembering this now, this girl, I talked to this girl a year ago and she was like, well, Zelensky is really getting serious.
All right, if I came on air and I plugged like this and I just held it up for the entire like 30 minutes that I was live on air, if I did that, wouldn't that be insane?
And well, here's the thing is you can't inorganically create somebody like that.
So like whatever like little like runt media creations end up running around, if it doesn't come from like an individual base, I mean, me and Tim, we literally, I met you in a bar.
We were hanging out, mutual friends.
We just started talking and hanging out.
We organically created a show.
It's not like this guy literally like to put Roundup on him and put him in the ground and like waited six months and then he grew right.
So like these people that do these shows that come out of left field that come out of nowhere that have no pedigree, I've been doing this since I was eight years old.
The only reason why I do this is because I want to do this.
These people, they see it as like a social climbing mechanism.
I want to start going and let's go into sort of the Iran stuff, man, because that is a never-ending story that is something that we have constantly been involved in.
Do you want to talk about this article here that I wanted to talk about?
The narrative on why we had to do the war has shifted over and over and over again.
At first, in the 12-day war, it's Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.
I've got to destroy their sites.
And then Trump claims obliteration, right?
We come back, we say they're a nuclear threat again.
But after the war has started, we now say, oh, they can't have any ballistic missiles because they've shown how dangerous those ballistic missiles are.
And any peace deal, I think Israel wants them to not have a program for five years and to be limited to under a thousand missiles.
We also can't forget that they receive directives from various presidents.
And after the president leaves, the directive doesn't just stop.
So you have this convoluted plans within plans, what a tangled web we weave type of thing that results in these like multi-generational crises that we're still involved in.
I mean, you look at Iran, you look at the Shah.
We worked with him.
We installed him.
We did all that.
That didn't work out.
The people revolted against us.
And even if we say a lot of them want to be free, there was a reason why they did it.
Let's talk about Diego Garcia because we've miscalculated not only the missile capabilities of how many missiles they had, but how far they could actually launch missiles.
Let's read this article, Rex, if you want to read this.
Iran fires missiles at remote UK base, suggesting long-range capabilities previously denied.
Iran has fired missiles at the joint UK-U.S. Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean, suggesting it is capable of longer distance attacks than previously known.
Iran's reckless attacks lashing out across the region and holding hostages at Strait of Hormuz are a threat to British interests and British allies.
A spokesperson for the UK's Ministry of Defense said Saturday, confirming the unsuccessful strike.
Tehran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the base in the Chagos Islands, a remote British overseas territory located more than 2,000 miles away from Tehran.
Iran's semi-official Mayor News Agency reported on Saturday.
Neither missile hit the base, it added, though neither Iran nor the UK specified how close the missiles came to Diego Garcia.
The distance of the attempted strike could indicate that Iran has capabilities for long-distance attacks that it has previously denied, with the base the same distance from Iran as much of Central Europe.
It is unclear, however, if the missiles carried a payload or how far such an attack could truly reach as neither missile reached its target.
I think this is the biggest escalation that we've had because previous conflicts, if you just think about Vietnam, if you think about Afghanistan, Iraq, they weren't as widespread if you think about it.
But like the whole thing of this, with this 2,000-mile capability and why this is important is because it's like, okay, what else have we underestimated about the Iranians?
I think they probably got, you know, thousands or maybe tens of thousands of those things left.
I mean, why wouldn't they?
If they cost 10 grand to make and you got 20 years to make them and ultimately, even though they're broke and we sanction the hell out of them, they still have some money.
And if all they're going to spend on is their military, just like we do, right?
From what I've heard, from the information that I've been disseminating, Iran talks to America primarily through intermediaries, like the foreign minister of Pakistan or foreign minister of Turkey, as an example.
And all of these countries, all these various countries are trying to host different negotiations, right?
And the Iranians, they've given the demands, like all U.S. base is gone.
You're out of the region.
You're done.
I think there is definitely wiggle room there.
And I think they realize that by asking for that, they may not get exactly what they want, but it takes Trump actually be willing to make concessions.
I don't know if that happens.
And that means the war will expand.
Thank you so much.
We're going to be right back.
We've got a deep dive coming up.
We got Alex Stein in the third hour.
And go to alexjonesstore.com, balexjonestore.com.
Check out the iodine, the methylene blue, any of the phenomenal products we have available.
Welcome back to the show, guys.
We've got a lot going.
We've got Alex Stein coming up.
We've got the deep dive coming up.
But continuing on the discussion of the war, there are all these weird events happening, Tim.
We talk about the Iranians launching the missiles that don't go all the way, but, you know, the implied threat there for the rest of the world.
And we're also going to talk about the USS Gerald R. Ford.
And this ship had a lint fire, a laundry fire, and somehow needs 14 months to repair itself.
I've seen a lot of people speculate online as to what could have happened, what it had been like a deliberate accident, something that someone set up or like a serious mutiny or something.
Ultimately, with all these events, we won't know for a year, two years plus in the future, but eventually we'll know everything.
And the thing I want to touch on with this necessarily isn't even the story in depth here, more of just that concept.
The things that are happening right now where it's fog of war and it's unclear who did what first, who did who started, who blew up which plant, it'll all come out.
And this is the thing that we got to kind of sadly look forward to is eventually we're going to know who's responsible for all these things.
The Iranians claimed like a week or two ago that they made it retreat and that they did something.
I don't know if I necessarily believe that.
I have to believe that these ships have the best defense systems and also best, you know, knowledge of how to stay thousands of miles away so they don't get hit.
But, you know, maybe they got a little too close for comfort.
Maybe they paid the price.
The USS Gerald R. Ford is now out of commission for at least 12 to 14 months due to the fire that caused by a fluff buildup in a tumble dryer.
It's just like the F-35 that deploys its flares because it gets shot up by Iranian air defense and then the shrapnel hits it and it has to go down anyway.
Like this is just what happens to America.
Cardinal example.
Okay.
We're fighting the Houthis last year because keep in mind, we had our aircraft carriers doing things.
You know, we had our ships out there.
And you know what happened?
They claim that because of the currents and because they forgot to tie it down, one of, I believe it was the F-18 went off overboard the ship and ended up at the bottom of the Red Sea.
The Houthis claim they did it.
They claim that they shot a missile and they made the ship take emergency evasive action.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about because at the end of the day, it's our tax dollars.
It is something that we are also directly involved in.
And if our systems don't work like the Pentagon, then we need to find new ways because they're spending a lot of money and they're not getting any results.
So it's like, okay, where is the conclusion of this?
How do we change this situation?
How do we get to a point at which we balance the budget?
How do we get to a point where we don't have to spend so much on military?
Both of these situations are set up so they can just chant those words over and over again and run around in a circle and not actually do any real work and not address Americans' problems.
For the Democrats, remember COVID.
They want to take your rights away.
They want to take your job.
They want to make you take an experimental vaccine without your informed consent.
And they told you, it's for your safety.
It's for your safety.
And they yelled that in your face for years.
Now with the Republicans, now with Trump, what we're getting is Iran must never have a nuclear weapon.
Iran must never have a nuclear weapon.
Over and over and over again, it's like I was saying earlier, until you're five years after and you actually see what happened and where the money went, you don't, you can't see the forest for the trees.
Well, you know, someone with principles, you know, someone with honor, someone that actually cared about the things we're talking about actually, you know, asked for a reason, like, why are we doing this?
Why are we fighting this war?
And he resigned over it.
Joe Kent.
Joe Kent.
He left DIA because he realized that, you know, it's a corrupt system and he's not going to be able to affect change.
And ultimately, he can't support this illegal war of aggression.
He went as far as to say the war that his wife had fought in was fabricated by Israel.
And you get to a point in public discourse where things like this 10 years ago would have thought to be unthinkable.
Things like this happen because of the extreme extravagance of the abuse.
The way that both the Americans and the Israelis, both deep states, the way that they have waved around the magic wand of power and have made people dance and have abused people and have killed people ultimately en masse.
Both of our governments have.
They're both empire.
They're both responsible for it.
You have people like Kent.
Kent did 11 combat deployments.
Imagine we can't.
We can't even think about what this guy's been through.
And then you have a little turtlet like Mark Levin talking to him like he's like a prison psychiatrist or something.
We got to have people that love to fight and are willing to kill, but people that are love to fight and are willing to kill are a little different than people that like murder.
So you kind of got those two groups.
I would say Ken is much more noble than someone like Crenshaw because he actually has principles, knows what he stands for.
He doesn't stand for an industry.
He stood for the people.
And he did that when he quit.
Because like, here's the thing.
It's not even from a values judgment or like a moral standpoint.
If you don't resign, if you don't come out against this war in the years and months to follow, you're not going to have a career.
I thought I was hoping that we were limited strikes and then limited strikes like we did in Midnight Hammer and then back off and go back to the negotiating table.
Once I realized that that was not going to happen and we were spiraling deeper into this and we were starting to lose brave men and women in yet another Middle Eastern war driven by the Israeli agenda.
I mean, he's like, are you, you need to pledge allegiance to our president?
I mean, we need more people like Kent.
I mean, absolutely.
The fact that he resigned should show you something inherently.
Like, he went in there with a specific job, with a specific task, and thought that, okay, I'm going to do something good with my life.
I'm going to do something for the American people.
The moment his conscience realized that he could not fulfill that duty based off of all the things that were happening behind the scenes, this guy's involved in several conversations that the average American would never be able to hear.
And then for Mark Levin, for Mark Levin to be up there as a yes man, telling you that you should pledge allegiance to our president.
And do you really, do you, do you really believe in the stuff that you're talking about?
Mark Levin acts like a prison psychiatrist and he's talking to a guy that's loony tunes and won't take his meds.
He's like, so you know that Trump talked to all his advisors and he still won't trust Donald Trump's leadership.
You think he's subservient to the Israelis.
You need to take your lithium.
It's not that he's subservient to the Israelis.
It's that he's listening to them and doing what they say.
It's his decision to do these things.
And of course, Kent can't publicly come out and say anything negative about Trump because he worked in his administration and that's downline of party politics, right?
Even people disagree with Trump, they'll still pay lip service to it or whatever.
And I get it, it is what it is.
Like, we're podcast people, we're media people, we're talking to mics, we're not in the field running these agencies.
But at the end of the day, it's not Mark Levin's position to talk to you like you're mentally ill if you can't support this war.
And they treat you like you're there's something wrong with your brain if you don't like Heil Trump.
Access to information to be able to hear this conversation.
You know, for a while, we've talked about, and a lot of people think about this, is like how much foreign interest or like actual influence these outside criminals are government.
I mean, for Kent to confirm that and then quit on behalf of that tells you everything that you need to know back at home.
And then, through official engagements through the Israelis, and then also the media echo chamber that wanted regime change in Iran said, no, no, no, we need to say that the Iranians can't.
I'm just waiting for the presidency in America to get back to a point where people start taking us serious again.
And outside of just being like the guy who comes in with the giant sledgehammer and just smashes everybody over the head, because that is not a long-term strategy that works.
We're watching quietly as the rest of the world is positioning themselves to not be aligned with the United States.
And that's because America, much like a junkie, has been able to keep dosing itself over and over and over again just through cash infusions, from stealing from other nations, through doing these things, from building the empire.
That now, when bigger and bigger doses are required, eventually we're going to OD.
And like that, that's we're getting close to, sadly.
And people like Kent realize that.
And he's like, hey, if I'm going to be a part of this body and it's going to do this thing, it's really going to hurt itself.
And anybody who's part of the system by the time that this ball rolls down the end of the hill gets swallowed up by whatever decisions are being made.
So for him, I think he's choosing to take his peace, take his conscience, because he knows he's got a lot of life left and that the rest of this administration is not deterministic of his outcome.
Props to him, man, because I would expect every single person to be doing the same thing.
I would do it myself because how can you go in good faith and do your job knowing that all of these things are happening?
SV40, or Simian virus 40, reared its ugly head back in 1960 when scientists spotted it lurking in Rhesus monkey, kidney cell cultures that were being held to whip up polio vaccines.
Sv40, a tumor making machine, has the large t antigen, a molecular wrecking ball that smashes into cellular control systems like p53 and retinoblastoma protein pathways, turning normal cells into rogue cancer factories.
Fast forward to 2025 and messengers from a myriad of professions are shouting from the rooftops about sv40's presence in the Covet vaccines.
This genomic integration, as the scientific show makes clear, can lead to cancer development, immune system destruction and more.
The sheer levels of contamination detected up to 145 times missile permissible limit in some cases are extraordinary and far beyond what should be allowed in any medicinal product.
In my work as an oncologist in the Uk, I started to see a disturbing trend.
As early as february 2022, patients who had been cancer-free for many years were suddenly relapsing with aggressive, explosive cancers shortly after receiving booster doses of the Covet 19 vaccine.
These three advanced cancer patients experienced remission in two cases, complete remission, and in one case, near remission for an extended period of time, years after initiating this fenbendazole protocol.
And none of them received chemo either, right?
So this was with, it was in combination.
A few were with a surgery.
Some did receive a brief dose of radiation.
But in general, this fenbendazole was linked to extraordinarily accelerated tumor reductions in a pretty short period of time with extended survival outcomes with no evidence of disease.
unidentified
Yeah, I was off their charts, 1,498.
Yeah, the chart didn't even go that high.
That was December 31st.
And I took my first course of ivermectin on my birthday, February 2nd.
This is what the Pentagon is asking in order to fund the war with Iran.
And the problem is simple.
We failed eight straight audits, but somehow we're still able to ask for an additional 200 billion.
And I just wanted to understand how do these things relate?
What it even means to have an audit?
How does it mean, like if you fail it, why can they fail it and still continue to operate?
Because, Rex, if we get a car loan or try to get a car loan and we can't have a good credit score or we can't afford to have the funds to actually buy the car, why would they allow you to get a loan for something like that?
And the flip side of that is that they can issue themselves whatever they want, however much they want, because they have that infinite credit score because their credit score is the American people.
And they use the American people as their piggy bank, as we're going to get into.
What is the mechanism for holding these people accountable?
The Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, a sizable amount that is certain to be met with questions from Congress.
You bet it'll be questions from us.
More money.
Come on.
Okay, we'll keep reading it.
Which would need to approve any new money.
Of course, Congress controls the purse strings.
The department sent the request to the White House, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private information.
Asked about the figure at a press conference Thursday, Defense Secretary, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth did not directly confirm the amount, saying could change, it takes money to kill bad guys.
That's what they tell you.
It's like, we got to take your wallet out of your pocket.
Well, it used to be that the propaganda had to be complicated and they had to get a guy like Colin Powell, a decorated veteran, a guy with credibility, and they lit him on fire to start the Iraq war.
Now they literally just come out and say, yeah, it takes money to kill bad guys.
So here's the basic question: like, why does the department that can't fully keep account of its books is able to actually keep on going and asking for more money?
Now, I want to talk about what most people think about when they, or what people get wrong when they think about a failed audit.
So, when most people hear about a failed audit, they think about the Pentagon has lost money.
That's a little too simple.
So, a failed audit actually means that auditors have asked the Pentagon to prove its numbers and the Pentagon could not fully do it.
And then also, a failed audit doesn't mean that every dollar was stolen, but it does mean that the Pentagon could not give reliable evidence to actually back up the books.
Well, here's the thing about this is even if the books can't be because the books can't be trusted and Congress is being asked to pour money into a system that they can't still approve, that's a problem.
So let's talk about how they keep on failing because that is also another thing that I had a question.
And you guys are probably also thinking that in your minds here.
So if a failed audit, so if a failed audit does not mean that the money was stolen, because that's what some things that people, they think that it was just something that was stolen.
But the next question is obvious.
Like, how does the Pentagon keep failing the same test over and over again?
Because this is not just one bad year.
It's an old broken system.
And I'm going to explain this for you guys.
So the Pentagon is trying to track money, weapons, equipment, property, and contracts across an entirely huge system.
And a lot of those systems are actually old and archaic.
So a lot of them are built on legacy systems that were built decades ago.
The biggest problem is they don't actually talk to each other or communicate between the databases.
One database could say one thing while the other database says something else.
So all the all when an auditor goes in, they keep hitting more wall after wall after wall when they're trying to find the paper trail volcano.
The scary thing right now about our government is that things are actually working too quick and too well.
You see, the system is supposed to fight itself.
The legislative branch is supposed to fight the executive.
Executive fights the judicial.
You know, a law gets passed, president vetoes it.
They force it through, but oh, the Supreme Court says unconstitutional strikes it down.
That's not happening anymore.
It's just blanket approval, blanket approval, blanket approval, because agencies like the Pentagon and other agencies, they're used to getting the blank check.
And the thing about it is there's bad tracking, weak controls, missing support.
And so the records are not lining up.
And that's what keeps happening.
So the system underneath is spending is too old, too messy to verify cleanly.
That's the equation that we're looking at.
So let's talk about actually how the federal budget works because that is something that this is all tied to when it comes to the DOD, when it comes to the Pentagon, when it comes to how the money is being spent.
And there's a specific percentage that's allocated.
Let's go ahead and pull up my screen share here.
And I've got a visual chart here to show you guys.
The discretionary spending is actually the part that Congress votes on each year.
So this is where the Pentagon budget sits.
So when the people talk about defense spending budget, they're usually talking about outside, talking about the money that's inside this discretionary budget.
So the U.S. federal budget for 2025 was $7.3 trillion.
But for it to be the inverse, you'd have to get rid of the over 700 or whatever it is military bases we have around the world.
You'd have to get rid of this unlimited military support to nations like Ukraine and Israel and these true forever wars that we can't seem to get out of.
The reason why that we have that bloated defense budget, really war budget, I do like the change to Department of War because it's more honest.
And then you just like think about like the bigger question here is like, how is this still allowed to happen?
Do you fail all of these audits?
You have over half the half of discretionary spending in this one specific bucket and you failed these eight straight audits.
So I'm going to explain that for you guys here because this is the real key.
So just because the failed audit happens does not automatically shut the DOD down or cut off its funding.
And that is because the Pentagon has done something phenomenal where it's made itself too central to national defense for Washington to just stop this machine.
Yeah, we're going to pay you 200 grand a year to do it.
Here's the thing.
It's organized chaos, but it's also not organized.
Like you said, like it truly is so hard to decipher where ignorance and incompetence is the easiest explanation, or like malevolence or social climbing, or you know, like economic warfare.
It's hard to decipher what they're doing because a lot of it really is just true waste.
And then pretty much the auditors are not getting enough.
So now we need to actually talk about where the money goes because when you think of the DOD or the Pentagon, where do you think the money just goes specifically?
Used to work on Blackhawk and Apache helicopter engines, working with the DOD, all the different things that go in, F-16s, all of those pieces of equipment.
It's very interesting having a first glance at all of these systems and how they operate.
There is a lot of waste.
I am sorry to tell the average American there is a ton of waste when it comes to these.
Do you know how much one single special forces blackhawk costs in order to actually repair it?
Just the engine alone, $2 million.
And by the way, on the hourly rate of the shop for fixing one of these engines is about $500 an hour.
So When an engine comes into the shop, it's supposed to have a certain amount of time that it sits within the shop and goes through all of its repairs from start to finish.
And the government has a contract in which they say, well, you need to give us this engine back in 180 days.
But what ends up happening in a lot of these facilities is you've got a lot of waste and you're relying on the company to actually do its job correct and the people who are actually doing the job.
So let's give in a scenario of things that I have seen where there's a lot of waste in between.
There are engines that have sat for several years and have not been worked on.
And that work order is accumulating money each time and the government is spending that money and paying dollar after dollar after dollar.
And sometimes a work order gets missed.
Sometimes people forget somebody sleeping on the job or they just take longer on the job because they want to get paid overtime.
So there's just a lot of things that are wrong with the system and its whole.
And these are the things that people don't get to see.
And once again, the U.S. government tells us exactly which corporations they give all this money to.
We pulled the last 19 years worth of data on these private contractors.
At the top of this list, you start to see the same names over and over.
Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin.
These are the names at the top of these lists, year after year.
There used to be a lot of different defense contractors, but over the last three decades, they got gobbled up by these big five.
Transitioning, from the words of the Pentagon, from 51 to five aerospace and defense prime contractors.
As a result, the DOD is increasingly reliant on a small number of contractors for critical defense capabilities, i.e., we've got kind of a monopoly issue on our hands.
These five contractors own the space.
And the Pentagon can't really go elsewhere if they need an F-35.
There's only one shop in town that makes it.
For this reason, the prices can get pretty out of control.
Like the Pentagon used to pay $25,000 for this Stinger missile, and now they pay nearly half a million dollars for the same missile.
The price went up more than 16 times in just a couple decades.
It's a little more than inflation.
unidentified
There's a history of defense contractors overcharging the U.S. government.
They can overcharge.
If they're the only company producing a certain widget, then there's no competition.
And that's one of the problems with Monopoly is if there's not competition, it's easy to overcharge the buyer.
In addition, the inspector general of the Department of Defense has found routinely that there's overcharging through corruption and waste and fraud.
And there have been lawsuits.
For example, KBR is a contractor that's been used overseas and they were found to overcharge in dining halls by 30 to 40%.
Another scenario that you're going to see and that has happened before, there's a thing called a bearing, which is like this small raw ball, essentially.
There is a company that was charging $3,500 for this one ball bearing.
And that specific ball bearing, they could have just gone into like some back garage that the DOD has and got that same thing for $15.

So we were just covering about the contractors and how there's the big five.
The big five are all the ones that they listed, like General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin and then they've taken all of them and combined, they bought up all the competition.
So one analyst actually found that in 2022, defense contractors hired 672 people directly out of the Pentagon to work as lobbyists, executives, and board members for these corporations.
And what the most important part about this is why they're picking these people is because they have insider knowledge.
They know contracts.
They know future jobs that offer all throughout the same door.
And then you also look, the people that are making decisions today can also end up working for those companies and getting paid tomorrow.
So it's like, you know, one big club, you know exactly where you're going to go.
And these same people are lobbying for being able to actually have more contracts because they know it's going to increase their bottom line.
And then the worst part about it is on these contracts, even when you're overcharging for a specific piece of equipment, these CEOs and board members are getting fat paychecks.
So once the money is flowing and once the same people keep moving through the same system, the next question is, how does this keep going bigger?
So if you take a look at this graphic that we have here with this flowchart, I'm going to break this down for you guys.
So contractors don't just build weapons.
They basically spread jobs across states and political districts on purpose.
This means that the Pentagon spending turns into local jobs.
And then in return, those local jobs turn into political protection.
So Roger Wicker is a perfect clean example of this.
He sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which helps steer taxpayer money to the Pentagon.
And then the Pentagon money helps feed those defense contractors.
So in Mississippi, one of the biggest examples of this is Huntington Ingalls, which is a large naval shipyard in his state.
It basically more defense spending means more jobs and more economic activity back home in the state of Mississippi and all of these other, all these other states.
So you got to look at it this way.
That makes it easier for a lawmaker to defend and protect that spending because the contractors actually are helping, making it easier to protect what the lawmakers are doing.
So you just think about like, okay, well, if you take my money away, what ends up happening?
These contractors are actually helping the lawmakers because they're giving campaign money.
They're influencing the local economic dependency.
All of those things tie together.
And then the cycle repeats.
So the more Pentagon money means more contractor money, which means more local jobs, which means more political support, which means more pressure to keep that money flowing.
And that is the secret loop that we have not been seeing on the wider scale.
All of it is connected.
And so no lawmaker wants to be blamed for shutting down the plant or killing jobs within their district.
So it just stops being about a defense spending debate and it actually turns into a job debate in order to keep the system running.
They've created a leverage point for the average person.
I mean, the American economy, we don't produce things anymore, but one thing we do still produce, at least in a limited context, is weaponry, right?
So they say, oh, you want to destroy America's one last great manufacturing business.
You want to destroy this great industry that employs so many people.
And it creates a catch-22 for the person.
Like even if they are maybe tacitly anti-war, they know they're going to lose.
They know that they're going to donate to their political opponents.
They might as well just sign on to the program.
And that itself is the nature of the problem.
And that's why we've sleepwalked ourselves into potentially World War III.
That's why we've sleepwalked ourselves potentially into the next Great Depression is because people didn't do their due diligence and they were just willing to let well enough alone and to just let the big monster sit in the corner.
Well, let me go ahead and go back to that AP article, the Pentagon Seeks 200 billion extra funds article.
I want to read this quote from Trump.
The new funding request was first reported by the Washington Post.
Trump said the administration is asking for money for other reasons beyond Iran.
See, it's not just Iran.
It's the next war to come.
It's the war of the future.
This is a very volatile world, the president said from the Oval Office.
He said the emergency spending would be a very small price to pay.
That's in quotations, to ensure the nation's military stays in absolute top shape.
And I mean, that's the thing.
He's like, we're preparing for wars of the future.
We're preparing to fight against Russia, preparing to fight against China.
None of this is going to stop or slow down if the people don't rise up politically, peacefully, nonviolently against it and realize no one's coming to save us.
These people that we elected to save us, they're already prepping for the next 10 wars.
And the worst part about this, and I've said this yesterday, you got to think about it.
How do we not go out and actually protest about these specific things that actually impact the average American at home?
How is General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin allowed to 15X the price of something so complex in which they can't even justify the price increase?
It doesn't make any sense.
And they want you to go out in the street and protest about illegal immigration and protest about Pablo over here or something about Israel over there.
And it's like, these are the things at home that we need to be talking about more.
And that is why information is everything.
That is why we do this deep dive.
This is why Rex and I wanted to bring this information to the average American person because it is important.
And you think about it, we're so focused on all these other countries outside of the country, outside of the country, and all the different things that are happening overseas.
And we got to put our nose and stick our nose here and we got to create conflict there.
And we're sitting here talking about all these other countries and we have a mess in our own backyard.
Let's go ahead and play this clip.
unidentified
While traveling is turning out to be brutal for people arriving at Bush Intercontinental Airport, the average wait time has been as high as four and a half hours today.
And we are keeping track of those wait times on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
That's right.
And today, Bush has some of the highest call outs for unpaid TSA agents in the country.
Fox 26's Sherman DeSalle has been there all day at Terminal E and Sherman.
Now, we've seen less than a handful of ICE agents, at least in this terminal.
There have been more of them visible in Terminal A, like my colleague Jay Flurry pointed out today.
And that's with TSA agents.
There has been many visible, at least on this side.
The union president addressed Washington in a statement saying, quote, Congress has the power to fund TSA today.
It's time for them to stop playing politics and do their jobs.
Now, keep in mind in the next 30 minutes in Terminal A, Christian Minifey will actually be hosting a press conference giving his comments on what we're seeing today.
Reporting from Bush, Sherman DeSelle, Fox 26 News.
But everything you just say, Tim, everything you just said about the Dow, Pam Bondi, excuse me, everything you just said about it, it's not there anymore.
Let's read this article about ICE agents because somehow we're taking one thing and trying to slot it into another when originally immigration was the problem.
And then we said we're going to go out there and curb that.
And now we're taking those same agents that are supposed to be doing that job, which we all voted for.
And now they're just doing the basic job of guarding a door.
President Donald Trump last night rejected a potential op-ramp to end the shutdown, sources told CNN, as he's told Republicans to only settle if they can get a pass on the federal elections overhaul bill to save act.
I mean, hey, with prediction markets like Polymarket and Karl Shellegal, with the continued waste, fraud, and abuse that Elon was forced out of when he found it, all of it has come together to create a system, a true ship of fools, if you will.
If you spend too much time on Twitter or get your news from the liberal mainstream media, you may have gotten the impression that the president's supporters are abandoning him in droves over Operation Epic Fury, his war to prevent your grandchildren from having to face off against a nuclear-armed Iran.
Our hapless president has been dragged into this war against his will by the nefarious Bibi Netanyahu, according to people like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megan Kelly, and now Joe Kent.
Alas, none of that is true.
The narrative that MAGA is split over Iran, beloved by the liberal media and the anti-Israel far left and right, is complete fiction.
Far from a betrayal, poll after poll after poll has found massive, overwhelming support for the president's strikes on Iran among Republican voters, upwards of 85%.
And he walked off and he went, I believe, into the oval.
So when one of President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship with the Israelis.
And then he's suddenly publicly assassinated and we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.
I got my neocons or gay for Israel hat by Tucker Carlson.
So I'm doing good.
And I'm, well, I mean, honestly, if I'm being honest, I'm not doing that great because I feel like right now we're under massive trauma-based mind control.
And I know we talk about that all the time, but you fellas are very young.
But it was not that long ago where they started a war in the Middle East for over 20 years for weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
And we're literally doing this.
I mean, they even admit nuclear weapons.
They just potentially could get it.
And now we're starting another war.
So it just feels like deja vu.
And I guess I'm just losing hope in humanity because I thought Donald Trump was going to deport the illegals.
And I thought we were going to be no wars.
And he's doing the exact opposite.
Now there's a huge fracture.
And me and Harrison are actually debating tomorrow against some boomers, boomers versus millennials on the MAGA divide.
And because it is really good content, and I really enjoyed your video.
But no, is uh Brandon Stracha, the guy that created the walkaway movement.
And he's doing kind of like a Jubilee style debate.
So it's Harrison, me, and Owen Schroyer, and we're debating some boomers about the MAGA divide and about how Israel's basically hijacked the conservative movement.
They've hijacked MAGA.
I mean, literally, they've hijacked MAGA.
And I just, I'm just getting frustrated because I can tell that I'm getting a lot of hate for not just being, you know, like, you know, following Donald Trump blindly.
Yeah, exactly.
And it feels just like the pandemic as well.
So it's like this double deja vu where I was speaking out against the pandemic and the vaccine from the very beginning, but people were getting mad.
People were like, what?
You don't think COVID's bad?
And it just, we're going through another COVID, another weapons of mass destruction lie.
And I thought all that was in the past, but we're just repeating our mistakes.
And a lot of the time, you also see these people exist on X. They're watching a lot of content.
They're actually interested in some of the topics.
So they'll go down the rabbit hole sometimes and they'll just find different ways to kind of like spin the story and like, well, there's plausible deniability here.
I mean, honestly, like I said, it's MAGA, the MAGA movement, which I voted for Donald Trump three times, but it just seems like it's on life support.
And if you're using Jared Kushner as son-in-law to go negotiate these peace treaties with Iran, and I think it's obvious that Jared Kushner is going to be loyal to Israel.
So basically, it's like we're sending a spy in to go negotiate with our enemy.
I mean, I would just like maybe one Christian.
At this point, I'd almost rather have a Scientologist going in and negotiating.
It's not all doom and gloom, but I'm just a little frustrated because I can just see the people that were just supporting me die, you know, the diehard people that supported the pimp on a blimp are now mad at me.
And to be honest, I'll even give you some inside baseball.
So I go on Sky News every week and, you know, I had some really anti-war stuff.
And two weeks ago, they said, oh, Alex, we're going to have you skip your appearance this week.
That was the first time in two years.
And I'm like, man, this is weird.
This is weird.
And I love Rita.
I love everybody at Sky News.
They were so nice.
But as soon as they started getting gas rationed, as soon as their gas prices went through the roof, they brought me right back on to talk about the war.
So I'm not calling out Sky News.
They've been so gracious to me, but I'm just saying people are starting to realize it.
It kind of took Sky News a couple of weeks until there's Sky News Australia specifically to see the repercussions of this.
And then now they're like, oh, maybe Alex is right that we shouldn't just blindly trust our president to lead us into a war with no clear objective and no clear off-ramps.
And, you know, I feel like I'm right.
I feel like I'm batting a thousand when it comes to this stuff.
Well, Alex, if you just think about it, it takes a lot of guts in order to actually be the first one to step out until it becomes mainstream and it becomes familiar and people feel comfortable to talk about it.
Similar to what we saw with like the COVID vaccine, like you couldn't talk about this back in the day.
But then once it came out that, oh, wait, the vaccine wasn't so good, then people on the left could start criticizing it, then people in the center, and then you didn't actually get censored for it because it was out there enough for you to actually have real concrete evidence for things.
You will be seen as principled into the future, just like everyone else who's being passionately anti-war.
That's why I've gone so hard.
I've gotten a lot of hate as well.
But here's the thing.
You can't support this.
You absolutely can't.
And long term, these people's political futures, they're over.
They're done.
So it may be tough now, but I think sticking by your guns and your principles and what you truly do believe in, which is pro-humanity, anti-war, that's why we get along so well.
I mean, you know, my buddy, Rex's favorite host, Tim Poole, him and I were debating.
No, him and I were debating.
Now Tim is so blackpilled.
Tim thinks he's CIA and he's going to run for president and all this weird stuff.
And I don't think any of that's true.
I mean, I was arguing with him about it.
I do think Joe Kent is X-CIA, but I think it's obvious that he, you know, is just speaking the truth when it comes to who got us into this war.
And you know what?
People are calling him an anti-Semite for saying that Israel dragged us into this war.
But the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, literally said that we had to attack Iran because Israel was going to attack them anyway.
And we knew that Iran would retaliate.
So we're just repeating what we're hearing from the Secretary of State.
But somehow, Joe Kent is an anti-Semite for saying the exact same thing that Marco Rubio said.
So it's just, it literally doesn't make sense.
And I guess the worst part about this is if you're not 1,000% pro-Israel, if you're only 99%, Laura Lumer and Mark Levin will chew you up and spit you out.
And that's what I'm getting frustrated: it's just like this, you can't even critique Israel.
And I have nothing against Jewish people.
I'm not anti-Semitic.
I have a lot of Jewish friends.
My grandfather is Jewish, but I should be able to talk about foreign relations with foreign countries and I don't have to just blindly support them, even if they say they're our biggest ally.
I'd like to know what Israel does for us.
And they asked Ted Cruz, he said, Well, we get a lot of information from Mossad.
Well, I thought conservatives were supposed to hate the alphabet agencies.
I thought we're supposed to hate the CIA and FBI and all of these institutions that basically, you know, usurp the Constitution and take away our rights.
But now we're supposed to be the biggest allies with Israel because Mossad is such a great intelligence agency.
The things that we were promised, things we elected these people to do, we just got to give them a little bit of time.
And that's been the narrative literally since I became politically aware.
Someone like you, I mean, remembering the Iraq war, the Afghanistan conflict, I mean, they've sold Americans this conflict, these endless wars, every single which way that they can.
And what I'm coming to realize is it'll never stop.
It will never stop.
It'll always continue.
We're just talking about the budget.
And Trump has another quote.
And he's like, yeah, we don't just need the 200 billion for this war.
I mean, you know, everybody says Trump's playing 5D chess.
I think they've been wanting to go to Iran since, you know, Reagan, since 1979.
And allegedly, they've been lobbying every president, you know, since the Ayatollah was put in place to go bomb Iran.
So I think that this Iran plan was, you know, in place long before we even knew about Jeffrey Epstein.
But it is awfully convenient that this happens.
And then every single news cycle stops talking about Epstein.
But if we're being honest, a lot of the news cycles weren't even talking about it before the Iran war because it doesn't really benefit them.
Even CNN, you would think that they would be using this as a weapon to go after Trump.
Even they don't cover it because there's so many famous and influential people that are connected to this.
They don't want to burn bridges.
And that's really what this is about at the end of the day is that we know there's people like Bill Gates and influential people that were friends with him and they don't want them to catch stray bullets.
And really and truly, was this war started just to distract us?
No, but I think it was a good side effect of a war that they've wanted to start for 47 years.
Well, you know, to speak on the Prince Andrew thing, I think he'll end up getting a sweetheart deal.
But, you know, Prince Charles, his dad, or whatever, yeah, yeah, his dad, I guess is Prince Charles, was best friends with Jimmy Seville, who was hanging out with a bunch of pedophiles, taking bodies from the Royal Children's Hospital and doing satanic ritualistic abuse to it.
So because they had a prolific pedophile like Jimmy Seville, their radars are up in the UK, and it's not a huge country.
So they're trying to use Andrew, Prince Andrew, as a fall guy, which, you know, I can understand.
You know, it is what it is.
Andrew can be the fall guy, but excuse me, his dad was Prince Philip.
But now it's going to soften the blow because Palm Beach Pete said he's going to come on my podcast.
And I'm like, I'm kind of almost debating it.
Well, yeah, I'm debating it.
Not because it's not funny.
And I'm a comedian.
I like to make a laugh out of stuff that's serious.
But now it's like all a joke.
It's no big deal that they're on islands doing stuff to 12-year-olds.
You know, it all becomes a meme.
It was like how 9-11 was an inside job became a meme.
And now we don't take it serious.
So that now people are like, oh, who cares?
Bush did 9-11.
It was just a meme.
It's just a joke.
When in reality, there's a lot of truth to that meme.
You know, 9-11, we had prior knowledge before those towers went down that a guy named Osama bin Laden, who we actually funded and created the Mujahideen and was a big, you know, ally of ours before 9-11, before we blamed it on him.
So, you know, that's what they do.
We can meme something to death.
And that's what the CIA does.
That's what the alphabet agencies do.
They create these fake social media campaigns where they can turn something incredibly serious into a joke.
And I'm starting to see that with this Palm Beach Pete guy where everybody's laughing and it's no big deal.
And I don't want to get too deep into it, but even Charlie Kirk, you know, a lot of that has been artificial information.
They've been trying to meme Charlie Kirk, which I don't like, to try to make it not seem like such a serious situation.
Because I think with Charlie's deck, it's one of the most serious assassinations ever.
I didn't even consider how that could be a targeted campaign, Alex.
I think that's very obvious just looking at it.
They try to disarm, like, obviously talking about things are so horrible.
You have to disarm it with humor sometimes, like if you're covering the news.
But they've created an entire campaign to where, you know, a kid in school might want to learn about the corrupt government, but they're going to get distracted by Epstein reels.
No, no, and I saw this with Instagram years ago before 2016 and 2015.
That was when the social media campaign started when people really were going on YouTube, when your dad was, you know, really bumping, talking about 9-11 seriously.
There was a coordinated campaign to say 9-11 was an inside job.
Bush did 9-11.
And you'd see all these memes.
It was like when, and you guys are so young, y'all might not even remember, but I know, Rex, you've been in the scene a lot.
They used to have these memes where they make Joe Biden look really cool.
And I saw you do that man on the street where you're asking people about the Iran war.
I did the same thing.
I must ask 100 people.
I got answers out of like 10 of them.
And the American public is just ignorant and they're trained to be ignorant.
They're kept in that kind of like a low awareness state where they're kind of sleepwalking through life.
Then ultimately, if it all does become funny, if it all does become a joke, then it has no actual emotional impact on them.
And that genuine emotional impact of being a human, caring about your family, caring about your friends, caring about the species, that gets removed with kind of just a chuckle response.
Well, you know, I mean, Rex knows you just got to go out there.
You got to find some people that want to talk.
I mean, the biggest problem with it is actually a little harder than it looks because you got to ask 100 people just to get 10 answers.
So, you know, if you're willing to kind of go out there and just, you know, be polite and say, hey, can I interview you?
Most people say no, but a lot of people end up saying yes.
But I guess the real trick is finding people that actually want to say something spicy because half the times, even when they say yes, they're worried about getting fired from their job and they're worried about being controversial.
So that's kind of the other issue that you have.
It's like, one, you got to find somebody that's willing to do the interview.
And second, you got to find somebody that's willing to say something spicy.
But what I do want to plug actually before I go, I'm doing a debate tomorrow.
Well, I'm doing a debate tomorrow with Harrison Smith and Owen Schroyer.
And, you know, I think it's going to be really good.
It's a Jubilee style debate.
And I hope, you know, this is what I was talking about earlier.
I know I'm going to do this debate.
I know I'm going to talk about how MAGA is on life support not doing well and how our president is really too loyal to Israel.
And I know that when the clips go viral, that I'm going to get so much hate.
So all of the info warriors out there that support me, support Harrison, and support Owen, please show us some love because I think that this will be an important conversation to have.
And I'm not trying to gas it up.
I just think it's important that we start having these tough conversations because Donald Trump, he's not going to be president very much long.
He's not much longer.
I mean, I guess a couple more years.
And then it's going to be Vance versus Rubio.
So it's going to be a bloodbath.
And I guess my point is, is like people need to either figure out what's going on or they're just going to kind of die on the vine with MAGA.
And I don't want to see that happen because then we're going to have President Gavin Newsome or President AOC.
And we're going to have a billion more illegal immigrants, a billion more abortions, and probably mandatory vaccines or vaccine passports during the inevitable next pandemic.
So, you know, it's important that we start, I guess, kind of building a coalition of people that aren't just blindly following a president that's being led by a country the size of New Jersey.
We're always involved behind the scenes, but we want to bring it all.
We want to bring it full circle and allow you guys to interact with us because we're the new guys on the street, but we actually want to carve a name out for ourselves here.
And we want to really love the opportunity to be able to do this on the American Journal.
And the thing that I've talked about with Rex is sometimes you have to be kind of crazy in order to climb up the ranks because the average person isn't thinking, well, how do I take control?
And sometimes when you get involved in these like, you know, rabbit holes, you kind of miss the main points and some of the truths that actually are more important that impact your life.
So that's why typically when Rex and I come on, we like to talk about it.
They have like Twitter and Miguel X now, you know, and like the Masonic Lodge in Tokyo said Trump was a Mason.
And, you know, like any group, you know, like in Israel or Any group there is like good or the Catholic church or Jesuits, you know, there's like good masons, bad masons, good lodges, bad lodges, satanic sex, non-satanic sex, Christian sex, you know, it's like a different mix, you know, and like the country's founded by masons.
And like before, like 100 years ago, he was talking about how the situation that we have right now would pan out.
He was going to, he was saying that the Third World War was going to be between the Islamic Caliphate and Israel.
If you type in Albert Pike Third World War quote, it will come up.
You know, and like with Trump, you know, it's not necessarily a bad thing if he's part of a Masonic group, you know.
Because like I said, you know, there's plenty of Masons in American history.
So it could just be like the gang or mafia that he's in, you know.
Other people, you know, the Q people say like plus ultra, you know, some mafia.
It's just hard for me to believe that everything that's gone on, that he's just Han Soloing, you know, that there's definitely like some sort of competing groups going on.
There's an investigative journalist out there named Real George Webb with two B's.
Number one, that's on X.
And there's another individual I want you to look into is Peter Duke.
These guys are pretty good information givers and they can get to the bottom of a lot of stuff.
They have great contacts and they look at metadata.
If you've been in the info war for a long time, you run across a lot of data and they go deep.
Like Duke goes as far back as the Bronze Age and then goes to the Phoenicians and talks about how the globalists are working together and have been for many, many, many years.
And so a lot of groups get blamed, like the Jews who get conflated with the Zionists and so forth.
You really have to look at the power structures and who's it benefiting.
And they get to the bottom of a lot of stuff, including the Charlie Kirk information.
So I'm not telling you what to believe.
I just want you to bring those to your attention and have you guys look at them and see what you think about their information.
I was really hoping at one time or another, you'd get George Webb on the show and you guys would have a field day with him.
Hey, guys, I thought you did a great job today talking about the defense spending and walking people through that.
You know, the thing that doesn't, and let me just kind of add on to that, that people don't talk about the debt enough.
You know, I mean, we, you know, occasionally we get into these little spurts where we talk about the debt.
You know, we're now pushing 40 trillion.
And then you got all the off-balance sheet stuff and unfunded liabilities, right?
You know, you guys are well aware of that, I'm sure.
But the big thing I think that's going on right now with the Middle East is, you know, the, I think they're setting this up.
And I know that, oh, what's his name?
The guy that, the guy that does the Sunday night shows, Chase, he's talked a little bit about this IMET corridor.
And I think that if you really look at the Middle East, they don't have a lot of debt because of Sharia law.
And so if you're going to relocate the world financial capital, because ultimately we're going to have a sovereign debt crisis because the East, the West, everybody's in a massive amount of debt.
You can see them setting this up with the Board of Peace.
I don't know if you guys have studied the Board of Peace.
It's a total atrocity.
I mean, when you look at the Board of Peace and who's on it, I mean, it's very well staged to facilitate this transfer to the Middle East.
And you can see what's going on, right?
I mean, if you look at India, you know, across Saudi Arabia, into Haifa, you know, you got to take out Gaza, right?
You put up six 15-minute cities in Gaza.
They've proven this with, you know, in Saudi Arabia.
I mean, they put major, you know, gorgeous cities in place that, you know, the extreme wealthy would love to live in.
And obviously, then you bring Formula One and everything else there, right?
Let me jump in here because I want to touch on what you were just talking about specifically with these new cities.
The thing that I'm afraid of is they're saying it's for the Palestinian people.
But if you really think about it, if they put up all these high-rises, let's say it costs money to run these buildings, you've got to pay rent.
I wonder what the true number comes out to be in which this is how gentrification happens, right?
The price continues to go up to where the average person can't afford to actually live in it.
So either they've got to pay for the people's rents after destroying their homes, or they're going to get pushed out or they're not going to be able to afford.
And I think this ties into the whole thing because this is really about, if you really look at Board of Peace and you look at Gaza and you look at what's going on there, I really think it's about the new world reserve currency.
And it's all going to be about tokenization of assets and control of things.
And what better way to do that than just devastate a whole area?
You know what I mean?
Kind of like they did post-World War II.
We financed it with the Marshall Plan.
Essentially, they're going to devastate this.
And you can already see Kushner and his brother lining up with tons and tons of money to go into Gaza and set up shop while the government basically backs all this stuff.
So I don't think this is about, I mean, this is about oil and control.
And think about this, too.
I mean, you got East-West, it's all about corridors.
You got Greenland going across Russia.
You got, you know, the port, the, the, you know, the, um, oh, gosh, why am I drawing a blank?
The canal.
Why am I throwing a blank?
Our own canal, right?
Our line in the south, our canal.
But this is all about choke points around the world, right?
Controlling the flow of this stuff.
Look what's going on with Asia.
I mean, Asia is so screwed because of this.
They're starting to hoard oil.
So it is about the energy.
I don't want to distract from the energy, but I think the real goal here is a transition from, you know, to the dollar to the stable coin, stable coin to tokenization, and then essentially control of all assets in the technology.
Yeah, I want to call in because obviously the gray area is different than any other show because you guys have a solution-based platform.
And without the solutions, it becomes a lot of black pilling and gloom and doom.
And something I really love about your show outside of InfoWars is that you give us the opportunity to learn more about grassroots candidates.
And especially following this massive loss that we had in the Texas primaries, where essentially the entire deep state establishment ran through the whole state, and we will probably turn blue.
I think it's important that independent media starts taking the primary seriously.
So do you plan on platforming any great grassroots candidates on the American Journal in the near future?
And you just kind of get stunlocked in that position of more negative news, more negative news, more negative information.
It's actually positive when you tie it into, hey, things are so bad right now, they could get so good if we just actually put in the time, the work, the effort.
Let's throw gray area talks to the X account up there.
We do a show Thursday and Sunday as well.
Just want to show people.
But Nimrod, after watching us for I don't know how many episodes and seeing us in here now, we really feel like we've grown.
And we're starting to see that same BS trickle into the independent, you know, semi-mainstream media, like the Tim Pools of the world, the Benny Johnsons.
These guys are complete propagandists.
They work on behalf of the administration.
And they're not going to exist in the post-Trump era, but the Gray Area, I predict, is going to dominate.
The American Journal, the InfoWars team as a whole is going to dominate the post-Trump era as long as you stay true to the principles that built this organization, the principles that your father started over three decades ago.
If we stay true to those principles, I think Gray Area and other independent thinkers and other radical centrists like yourselves will run this country and give the power back to the people.
The Alex Jones show, the War Room, the American Journal, all these wonderful things that have developed organically through people's skill, through people's time, through people caring about the effort, caring about giving people the best information.
Anyone that's in alternative media, anybody that wants to be an alternative media, Fuentez made this point a while back and absolutely pisses me off.
Here's the thing.
You can do this job.
Your mom could do this job.
Your gardener could do this job.
Your grandpa could do this job.
All you have to care about is having a passion for the information and delivering solutions to the people.
So I'm sure it takes a lot of rhetoric to kind of like push a doom and gloom message all the time.
We talk doom and gloom.
We also talk about how it could get better.
And that's what people are missing.
And that's what InfoWars has always been.
It's been a hearkening back to our rights, what we believe in as Americans, as a society.
Yeah, I do want to tell people about the deal we got going on.

We got methylene blue.
We got power plant.
We got methyl drive.
Go find the power drive bundle really quick on the website.
I want to read to you about this.
Three compounds, three mechanisms, one complete performance system.
Methylene blue, methyl drive, power plant.
What do they do?
Methylene blue works on the electron transport chain, boosts your brain, boosts your body, boosts mitochondrial function.
Methyl drive, CoQ10, and PQQ for mitochondrial support, biogenesis, ultimate energy, all-day energy, especially for your older, your cells will feel it.
Let me tell you.
And then we got PowerPlant.
We got something that's basically the new Supermale Vitality.
While Methylene Blue and Methyl Drive optimize energy at the cellular level, PowerPlant converts it into physical performance.
Cordyceps boosts oxygen efficiency and carrying capacity.
Goldenroot controls cortisol and boosts dopamine norepinephrine.
It was literally the herb that the Viking warriors chewed on on the boats.
Goldenroot, Arctic root, as it's also known, plus the full male mineral complex, mineral complex in general, but really Supermale Vitality 2.0, zinc and boron, highly bioavailable, highest doses possible.
