The American Journal: MAGA Civil War Erupts As Pro-War Neocons Cry “Coup” Of GOP, Massie Says FBI Arrested “Wrong Person” In J6 Pipe Bomber Case & DHS Shutdown Continues - FULL SHOW - 03.25.2026
Breanna Morello and Alex Jones dissect a fractured GOP, alleging a "MAGA Civil War" as neocons cry coup, while debating FBI errors in the J6 pipe bomber case. They expose alleged insider trading on Polymarket regarding Iran war outcomes and analyze a Trump-imposed oil blockade causing Cuba's demographic collapse. The discussion covers Iran's expansion into Sinai, Gulf states' panic over base attacks, and the economic unsustainability of $12M missiles versus $7,500 drones, warning that U.S. hegemony is eroding as allies pivot to China amidst global chaos. [Automatically generated summary]
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 Covid vaccines.
This genomic integration, as the scientific literature makes clear, can lead to cancer development, immune system disruption and more.
The sheer levels of contamination detected up to 145 times 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'd 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, um for an extended period of time, years after initiating this fenbendazole protocol um, and none of them received chemo either.
Right, so this was with, it was in combination, a few were with a surgery, um.
Some did receive a, you know, a brief dose of radiation, but in general this fembendazole was linked to extraordinarily, you know it's accelerated tumor reductions um in a pretty short period of time, with extended Extended survival outcomes with no evidence of disease.
unidentified
Yeah, I was off their charts.
1,498.
Yeah, the chart didn't go that high.
That was December 31st.
And I took my first course of ivermectin on my birthday, February 2nd.
This dynamic, man, I'm telling you, I'm so glad that we took the risk to do this when we first because it's everything.
Like at the end of the day, we both felt like we had a message to bring to the wider audience.
And, you know, I just feel like we're doing that and we're bringing content and it's content in a way where we can go a layer deeper than what everybody else is covering.
So I'm just super privileged and happy to be here.
I think the important thing is we're not pretending to be quote unquote experts.
We're not telling you to believe us because we say so or he prescribed to a political ideology that we're all loyal to like a sports team.
We're in here like you trying to do the research, trying to go on that journey of becoming a more informed American or just, you know, person around the world, a more empowered human being.
That's what we're about.
And as we cover more news, as we cover more topics, as we have more guests and more information, the show is only going to get better and better.
So you're getting in on the ground floor.
And while we're doing this, it can only go up from here.
And I'm just finding myself progress through different changes in terms of my psychology.
You know, at first, before you get into all of this, you think you know something, you have a clear position.
And then as you start going through the history, you start digging through facts, you realize like a lot of the things that we take for granted or think that, okay, we have an absolute knowledge base on, I challenge myself every single time.
And I encourage every single person to do that too.
I mean, that's why we seek out a lot of different sources of information.
Ultimately, we've all been lied to about goings on in the world for a very long time.
So we kind of sit in that knowledge and we try to find alternative sources.
We try to get kind of like a second or third or fourth opinion like you would from a doctor to try to figure out the true root causes of these problems.
We hear that the Turkish people and that the people of Pakistan, the governments there, the foreign ministers there have been trying to set up meetings in Islamabad and places like that.
And every time I see an offer from Trump, it's just like when he declares victory.
I just don't believe it.
You know, I think this is all just cover for the Marines sailing there right now.
I also don't fully believe what Iran says when they put stuff out there.
They've been caught lying numerous times.
So there's only but so much you can believe from both sides because they both have a duty to push out some propaganda to make it seem like either side is winning.
I mean, this is why the lines from the peace president are just so important to go over because Tim, you make this reasonable argument: resources, logistics, we can't, economy, blah, blah, blah.
The president says we can do it forever.
And even if he only believes that like 30%, that delusional belief that it'll get us in this conflict for a couple more months, that'll kill the country.
I just got distracted by the sanctions because that is key.
That's a huge point.
So number four, Iran's nuclear program is frozen under a defined framework.
Who defines that exactly?
Five, enrich uranium to remain, but under supervision and agreed limits.
Now, you remember last year when they were having these talks right before the 12-day war, or maybe a little bit after it as well, Witkoff went over there and initially he was like, yeah, well, they're willing to come down to like 3.5% enrichment or whatever.
And then immediately after that, he got a call and he's like, no enrichment whatsoever.
So they have a civilian nuclear reactor.
They use it for medical purposes, power purposes.
They've always wanted to expand that.
There's a conflation, Tim.
I feel in a lot of people's mind when they think about Iran, like Israel attacked Iran's nuclear facilities.
Again, they weren't attacking the military infrastructure.
They're trying to strike that place in the capital.
I disagree with that, but they already banned them 20 years ago, you know?
So I think it's something where we go around and we tell nations what they can and can't do.
And we exercise that authority because we say, oh, we're going to be the victim of a heinous attack if we don't run you and you don't let us take you over.
So I agree with the act that you should have some sort of nuclear power, but when you have nuclear power, you are also not too far removed from having nuclear weapons.
The thing is the transportation method.
That's the thing that needs to be prevented for it to not.
So, like, that should be the last thing on their mind.
What they should be focused on is improving their immediate internal conditions specifically.
Like, there's a bunch of other things they can do with their power sources that they can allocate resources because they shouldn't be going to nuclear first.
That's like, that's like something I see like further down the line as they have proven that, hey, like, we're actually want to cooperate with the United States.
Because like the old Ayatollah, the guy that we killed, surprise, surprise, he had a ban of FATWA religious order.
It's considered a crime against God to make a nuclear weapon, right?
But they also, I've seen this in Iranian media numerous times.
They're incredibly proud of their civilian nuclear infrastructure.
I think it's got more to do with kind of like the like engineer and scientist culture over there.
Because keep in mind, like a lot of the time, like when you talk to people about Iran, they'll be like, we're there no place to live in caves over there in the Middle East.
It's like, no, it's actually a 4,000-year-old culture, super smart people, very intelligent.
They have a large brain base to build systems like that and weapons too.
When Trump says we blew up their military, that is true in every aspect but the missile systems.
So like that right there, like if this is a true peace framework and that's a deal they can get with security guarantee and like China or Russia could be involved, I agree with you.
And that's a point that I've heard other people make, specifically like pointing to the space program that they have or whatever and saying they can't build ICBM.
And just like fundamentally, I know sometimes I bash on Trump and I bash on some of the West, but like I really think about this on a day-to-day basis.
They have had protests and a whole big conglomerate of people in their parliament screaming like death to America, death to America.
And it's just like, we can't take those things lightly.
Regardless of how we got here to the point where, you know, they're making these threats against us.
We can't even allow an inch for that to be a possibility that they could strike us here on our own soil.
Well, I mean, I assume that means enriching uranium or at least implies the enrichment of uranium.
So they have, and this is another thing, okay, because I'm not here to be Iranian media state propaganda.
We're going to give you the full facts here.
This is another thing.
If they did actually brag about the 410 kilos or whatever it is of enriched uranium that they had, and they told them to the people in negotiations, if that isn't made up by Steve Witkoff, that's about as dumb as you can be.
That's about as retarded as you can get.
So we look at stuff like that and it's like, well, do you need to enrich uranium 60, 90%?
Russia or China are going to have to be a part of any further solution.
I mean, that's plainly obvious.
This is a proxy war, just like it's a proxy war for us in Ukraine and Russia.
The Russians and the Chinese are backing the Iranians, giving them intel, giving them satellite data, giving them GPS things to use and tracking coordinates.
So at the end of the day, when we look at all of this, this already is a world war.
And if it needs to end, then the other parties that are involved, they have to come to the table.
You've got Israel and Iran being controlled by the United States, and then you've got Russia and China in the background as well.
Even though they're not committing, even though Russia and China are not directly committing as much support as the United States, they're still in the background loading.
Like, I mean, at the end of the day, like, I think also Russia, if they had the opportunity, they would do this.
China would also do the same thing.
So it's like, I can't fully blame the United States for taking a strong position because when the United States is behind the right side of history, we do affect positive change throughout the world.
Well, I've actually seen, I've actually seen reports and a breakdown saying that Iran has actually done, and not just specific to this situation, but they also have situations where they say, well, we haven't done that.
And the reason why is they want to mitigate the backlash to a specific event.
So if they did something that, you know, angered the West, sometimes they were actually behind that action.
But in order to soften the blow, they have to deny it at first.
And then it can come out later after people have forgotten about the situation.
So there is some real merit to that situation being real, despite what everybody's talking about.
So this is all with the backdrop of the Marines, right?
The Marines, the 82nd Airborne, the troops are coming.
Ah, we have the peace paper now.
We have the peace paper.
It's all over.
It's all done.
Really, whenever Trump does something like this, you know, total war is about to begin.
So like we don't, we don't, we're not relishing that.
We really regret it.
We wish we didn't have to cover these types of stories right now, but it's not likely for either side after what we've just analyzed and what we've been following and monitoring the situation quite intensely and quite thoroughly.
I mean, it doesn't come without the Gulf states being involved.
They want something out of this.
I think sanctions is the first place to start.
I think the nuclear that needs to be sorted out.
There has to be some checks and balances, some oversight.
I know they have an organization that is supposed to monitor that.
But, you know, when you got your stuff like thousands of miles underground or hundreds of miles underground, it's like you need some real oversight into those things if you want to have true nuclear power.
So I think those are the two things that we start with.
Ballistic missile program, I think that's later down the line.
I really just, I don't support Iran having, you know, these massive long-range missiles.
They try to hit their nuclear infrastructure again.
I think that's the thing that's being talked about.
I listened to Larry Johnson talk about a war game they ran, I believe in the 80s or 90s, about kind of a similar or same operation that did not go well.
I think they're going to try to plan to do something like that again.
This is real, Tim, in the way that Santa Claus is real.
It gives you warm and fuzzy feelings.
You're a kid, you think about it going down the chimney, but what's actually coming up is your parents sneaking downstairs and giving you, you know, a stuffed animal.
So, like, we're going to get the stuffed animal, the situation.
We're going to get this war, whether we want it or not.
The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel's conducted alongside us, was one for the history books, truly.
And it's because we have a president of the United States that when he sends his warfighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one.
And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well.
We negotiate with bombs.
You have a choice as we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the president talked about, about your future.
President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon.
The War Department agrees.
Our job is to ensure that.
And so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as long as as hard as is necessary to ensure the interests of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.
So at the end of the day, you come out with that big hammer.
Nobody's going to mess with you.
But again, I'm trying to figure out like what is the long-term gain here in terms of like, okay, how much longer can the United States exert power using just force?
Sure, because at some point, it doesn't work for the modern age.
And it's like, you can't expect a country to come in and help you after you've done a lot in order to put them in a bad situation to begin with.
So it's like we blew up the pipeline.
They have energy crises.
We're looking at all these scenarios.
And, you know, do you remember that meme or that video where, you know, President Macron couldn't even get through the motorcade because Trump blocked it off and he made him walk down the street?
Like, if it's me, I'm sorry.
If it's me, I'm not, I'm not forgetting that, right?
Like, I'm keeping that in the back of my mind.
And then just think about every time we were at the UN, the UN were like, you know, Trump is like, Europe, you have nothing.
Well, so there are capacities that they have that we don't have relating to mind sweeping.
I've seen several ex-military, ex-Navy people talk about this at this point.
We outsource a lot of that responsibility to them.
That's primarily what we want.
I mean, as far as them getting involved and say, like, you remember when Trump was saying initially that we would be escorting ships through the straight war moves, which of course is completely insane, at least at this current point, where the missiles and drones are still a big problem.
What they want is they want more people to get drawn into the conflict.
Well, let's look at what happens really quick and then let's get to your rundown here.
Let's look at Syria before and after because here's the thing.
We bring democracy.
We bring freedom.
We're liberators.
We're going to be greeted as liberators everywhere we go.
We have to remember this.
Let's get the image of her in the beekeeper suit up because this is very important because you got to keep in mind Assad, ooh, evil dictator, blah, blah, blah.
The real reason why we got him, why we got Saddam when we got Gaddafi is you can't allow a secular state to exist in the Middle East.
He can't allow for it to happen.
So we'd much rather have someone that's literally chopped off people's heads before.
And as an American, I can't even think of these situations happening.
Our land will always be preserved because of the force that we use and the power that we exert throughout the world.
I mean, at the end of the day, look at these photos.
This could never happen in the United States.
And this is why I'm covering the whole situation with Cuba during the deep dive during the second hour is because we haven't forgotten about the Cold War when it comes to exerting our power, making sure nobody comes in our backyard.
And this is the bigger play with Cuba here.
I think that we are trying to make sure that China and Russia never have a seat in our backyard.
But really quick, I want to cover this before we get into this.
I presented this to you.
It wasn't a part of the rundown of the deep dive.
The Russian oil tanker playing chicken with Trump over Cuba.
Listen to this, Tim.
Russia appears to be testing U.S. commitment in the Western Hemisphere as Washington already battles the Kremlin's influence on other fronts.
While Russia's attempt to provide oil to Cuba may be half-hearted, Russia watchers say this, it sends a signal that it is not.
The Anatoly Klodkin is steaming towards the Caribbean.
The Russian oil tanker's official destination, according to one of his public broadcasts, is Atlantis, USA.
More probably it's the Cuban port of the Mazanas, fearing an estimated 73 or 730,000 barrels of crude oil across the Atlantic.
The tanker is flying a Russian flag.
A Russian warship escorted it through the English Channel, where it was tracked by the Royal Navy for 48 hours, only to turn back as soon as the tanker was clear.
While the Kremlin declined to confirm reports that Russian oil headed to Cuba, it has also made little effort to conceal its hand.
That's because the tanker was never really about Cuba at all.
People close to the White House, former ambassadors and Russia observers, told Politico, it's a message, they said, a negotiating shit, a provocation designed to force a disproportionate American response while Washington is consumed everywhere.
You know, when they had the Russians sailing towards and we were about to hit, you know, DEF CON 1 or DEF CON 2 and just press that nuke as soon as they crossed that.
I really want to get into the money that people are making off of the oil itself and all of the bets because we're getting we're seeing crime and corruption in real time here with things like the polymarkets and the calcium and all these different things.
Can we let's start with this article here that says the half a billion dollar bet on oil before Trump's climb down because that's normal.
Half a billion dollars bet on oil minutes before Trump climbed down.
Some 6,200 oil futures contracts changed hands before the president announced energy strike ceasefire, raising concerns about insider knowledge.
All right.
Half a billion dollars, some 6,200 oil futures.
A quarter of an hour later, the U.S. president announced very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East on TrueSocial, which caused oil prices to tumble.
So he declared victory again and said everything was going to be fine.
The oil futures market allows investors to buy or sell oil at a set price on a future date, enabling them to guard against any unexpected leaps in prices in the months ahead.
Banks and hedge funds also bet on moves in the price of oil to earn profits.
Like the whole platform is anonymous and you have to trade in crypto in order to make bets.
It doesn't make any sense.
How should anyone be able to do that?
You should be able to have a linked bank account where you can trail, you can check who exactly that payment is going to because then at the end of the day, this is no different than like being on sports betting.
I'm seeing, as I started looking into these things, there are like hedge funds and there are people creating like eight accounts all of a sudden and making a trade like a few days before making a bet, making a ton of money, getting out of the market.
Quick in, quick out.
How do we have a system?
Polymarket is something new.
This only came in like one or a couple years ago.
And do you know who was behind this?
They realized, oh, well, technically, this isn't betting.
You know, you're doing futures trading.
You're doing something where you're making a future prediction.
And somehow somebody had the bright idea.
Well, let's make this anonymous.
Let's make this anonymous.
Oh, and even better, let's make it crypto.
And the thing about crypto, guys, there's things called crypto wallets.
I'm sure all of you guys know what these are.
A crypto wallet basically is almost anonymous in itself, too.
You do not know who the owner of a specific wallet.
All you can do is see is the transactions.
And you can't really do a whole lot with transactions.
It's disgusting.
It's disgusting because we had all of these like antitrust.
We have all of these things coming up.
We have laws on the balls on the books that say, well, you have to have Congress transparency.
And now we're just creating new methods in order to hide the money and who's making money.
Well, and the fact that these people know it's because you've got a marrying of lawmakers, people in position of power, and you've got billionaires and the very ultra-wealthy all married together in this one system.
So think about it this way.
The people who made Polymarket, I forget the man who's behind this, but I saw a big group of billionaires back this up.
People were like, this is the best thing since sliced bread.
And they all came together and people realized, well, we can do something about this.
We can get away with this because no one can get angry at us because you don't know who we are.
But at the end of the day, it's in plain sight for the American people to see.
You can go out there and say, well, I believe they're metaphysically, they're peeing on the Bible instead of swearing on it when they do stuff like this.
The Dow is the golden calf, the God of the country.
I mean, Pam Bonnie's investigating or not investigating or lying about investigating the biggest PDF file monster that's ever existed, really Jeffrey Epstein.
And when she's being asked questions about it, she goes, the Dow.
That's when I had to put the phone down because I'm like, how have we gotten to this point where we've lost the American values that have made us today?
As Americans, we kind of have this like servant mindset of like, these are the people high on the hill that rule us and take care of us and the bureaucracy, the middle management.
America, like I said, when America is behind the right side of history and we push the change that we want to see as the people, we actually become a net positive for society.
If you spent 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.
We are entering the second hour of the American Journal, the powerful morning broadcast, the morning broadcast of patriots, Americans, and champions in every field.
Deep dive is just something where we take a specific topic, something that's happening in the news, something that's happening in the headlines, and we go past the headline itself.
We go a little bit deeper.
We go through the history, go through the context.
We need to understand why you need to know what everything happens with that situation.
That way you have information to arm yourself because that's information is everything.
So what we're going to be talking about today is Cuba.
Everybody has seen what's been happening with Cuba, but it's kind of one of those things that has taken the passenger seat to the Israel-Iran conflict, but it is something that is.
So if you've seen the news, you probably think, okay, well, the blackouts that you're seeing in Cuba right now, they're about old power, but that's not really the whole story.
So we're seeing in March, Cuba's entire national grid has collapsed.
Not once, multiple times in a single month.
But at one point, a third of the country's power generation went offline all at once.
And the infrastructure is old, but that's not what's changed.
So Cuba's grid has actually been fragile for years.
What's changed is the fuel supply that has been running just got cut off.
So Cuba burns about 3.5 million barrels of fuel per month, which is a lot.
And the domestic production covers maybe 25 to 40% of that.
Now, the rest came from outside when it came from Venezuela and Mexico specifically.
And that was one of our reasons, one of the many reasons we did the Venezuela operation is it hurt so many of our various enemies or non-allied countries around the world.
They're spending the evening here with their friends as though nothing has happened, but we're actually in the middle of yet another nationwide blackout.
It's completely dark out here, except for a couple of lights from hotels that have generators.
This is the second time in less than a week that the power has gone out all over the country.
The government says that it's trying to get it back on again.
Nobody knows how long that will take.
So that means most of these people will spend the night in the darkness.
Thank goodness it's not in the middle of summer yet.
It's not so hot.
So they might be able to sleep in their apartments.
But people are fed up with this.
It means that they can't get water.
The water pipes don't work.
It means that their food begins to rot in their refrigerators.
It's happening more and more.
And one of the reasons, of course, is not just because the power system in this country, which runs on oil, is decrepit.
It's old.
It needs repairs, but also because President Donald Trump has imposed a total fuel blockade around Cuba, hoping that it will collapse, bringing it at least to the brink of collapse.
Now, Mexico is trying to help, or they were trying to help.
Let me clarify this.
So, you know, everyone knows that the U.S. has had sanctions on Cuba for decades, but here's the part that most people miss.
The pressure now extends to these third countries.
So in 2024, Mexico was shipping Cuba about 20,000 barrels of crude oil a day per their affiliates.
And then Venezuela was the other major source.
And we already saw what happened to Venezuela, right?
So let's go ahead and play video four that's showing Mexico and what happened to them as they were trying to provide oil after Venezuela got taken out of the equation because Mexico did try to step in here.
It'll turn out to be the beginning of an even more expensive campaign to sever every dollar, every barrel, and every escape route that the regime has left.
On the energy front specifically, something that had largely gone unnoticed was that Mexico had overtaken Venezuela as Cuba's largest oil supplier last year.
And in the immediate fallout of the operation, Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum initially committed to honoring those contracts, not increasing them, but delivering what they had already signed up for, framing the issue as both a sovereign and humanitarian matter.
And to her credit, Wanzanka did arrive in Avana in January.
It was still a fraction of what the islands actually needed, though, and even this would not last.
On January the 29th, the Trump administration issued Executive Order 14,380, declaring a national emergency, enabling the president to impose tariffs that targeted any country that directly or indirectly sells or provides oil to Cuba.
The critical detail is the scope of that treaty.
The order authorized additional duties on all imports from offending countries, not just energy products, meaning that for Mexico, continued shipments to Havana risked triggering penalties across the entire USMCA trade relationship almost immediately.
Scheinbaum acknowledged shortly thereafter that deliveries were currently halted.
She described it as a sovereign decision amid fluctuations.
But the timing left little mystery about what really was behind the move.
As president of the United States, I have an imperative duty to protect the national security and foreign policy of this country.
I find that the policies, practices, and actions of the government of Cuba constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or in substantial part outside the United States to the national security and foreign policy of the USA.
The government of Cuba has taken extraordinary actions that harm or threaten the U.S.
The regime aligns itself with and provides support for numerous hostile countries, transnational terrorist groups, and malign actors adverse to the United States, including the government of the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, the government of Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.
For example, Cuba blatantly hosts dangerous adversaries of the United States, including them to base sophisticated military and intelligence capabilities in Cuba that directly threaten the national security of the United States.
Cuba hosts Russia's largest overseas signals intelligence facility, which tries to steal sensitive national security information from the U.S. Cuba continues to build deep intelligence and defense coordination with the PRC.
Cuba welcomes transnational terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, creating a safe environment for those malign groups so that transnational terrorist groups can build economic, cultural, and security ties throughout the region and attempt to destabilize the Western hemisphere, including the United States.
Cuba has long provided defense, intelligence, and security assistance to adversaries in the Western Hemisphere, attempting to thwart United States international sanctions designed to enforce the stability of the region, uphold the rule of law, and safeguard the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
It's more us saying that, okay, our sanctions, our soft power, that's our actual weapon.
We're waging that all the time on everyone.
If you don't submit to that and pay the tribute and comply and have a have a bank in your country that we approve of a central bank, we're going to sanction the hell out of you.
A lot of this comes down to the Cuban missile crisis, which I will be getting into and a lot of the history behind that.
But it's also just the fact of, you know, we want to cut as many arms and limbs off of Russia and China as possible and make sure that they have no ability to have any influence in our sphere.
Like, I mean, the distance between Florida and Cuba is very short.
And it comes back down to that Cold War rhetoric where it's like, okay, if there's even a remote possibility that this country can align with somebody else, got to squash it.
And his government was corrupt, repressive, and heavily tied to American businesses and interests.
So the U.S. companies controlled so much of the sugar industries, the utilities, the key infrastructure, and the inequality was severe during that time period.
And political opposition was crushed.
So then that brings a whole destabling to the country itself.
And you have a lot of people that are unhappy.
So that's what created the conditions for a revolution.
So you had Fidel Castro, which everybody knows, he led a guerrilla movement that overthrew Batista in 1959, which he framed it as taking Cuba back from dictatorship and foreign domination.
Once in power, the revolutionary government nationalized all of America's property and the things that were going to these oil utilities.
All of that.
And Washington basically retaliated.
So Washington retaliated by imposing two things.
They did a trade embargo, and the other one is they started to cut diplomatic ties.
And then it backfired on the Bay of Pigs during the invasion that they tried to do in 1961 to get Fidel out of there.
And then Cuba finally started aligning itself with the Soviet Union.
And then that's when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened in 1962.
And then that moment is essentially burned within our psychology here in the United States, if you think about it.
So the Cold War ended, but the policy never actually fully reset.
So this is about making the same thing that it was in 1962.
And of course, you've got a lot of people that are in power right now that have lived through that time period where they understood what was happening during that.
And we've got echoes of that.
So let's just look at really quickly a map of Cuba and Florida and just look at literally how close these are.
I mean, there's been people who have swam across the channel between these.
Look at their youth to elderly ratio in their population.
That's not a way for your country to survive.
The children of the country are the future of the country.
And if you don't have that, if you don't have the young people to do the work and do the innovation and really progress and move things forward, it's kind of a death sentence.
Then you have the sulfur group and then you have the chlorine group.
The chlorine group makes it a dye.
That's why it's got that signature, beautiful, crystalline, sapphiric blue hue.
And the sulfur group donates an electron to your mitochondrial process.
So what that means in layman's terms, it makes you more efficient at making energy, recycling energy, and dealing with free radicals and stuff like that that causes oxidative stress and inflammation over time.
This has over like, I think an 80 or 90% reorder rate because when people try it, they know that it's good.
Nothing else reduces superoxide in the way this does.
Nothing else radically increases glucose uptake in the brain.
If you want to think faster, be smarter, if you want to be more active and more capable, consider trying ultramethylene blue from the alexjonstore.com.
And hey, if you go ahead and make a decision to, hey, maybe you've bought it a few times, you know it's good, you know, you need to stay on it, you know, want to take it more, maybe subscribe to it, get it monthly, and get the free t-shirt that you get on top of that for subscribing.
Well, the thing that's most interesting to me about DMT is the way he gathers and disseminates all the information that he does because he's constantly giving really good live updates, really good local news feeds.
It becomes a thing where, like, if you're us, you're chronicling this, tracking this every day.
There are people like him that have figured out how to build really efficient systems.
think we'll see you right again here after the break back to the american journal I am your host, Tim Tompkins.
We got Rex.
We are in the middle of a deep dive here.
We got to continue talking about this Cuban crisis because at the end of the day, this is something that really is important because it's short and long term.
So let's pick up right where we started.
Let's talk about specifically Cuba and what the Cubans want.
Now, I'm not Cuban.
This is what I have tried to research and understand.
I know these issues are much more complicated, but I try to distill it down in a way because there's multiple sides on what people agree on and what they disagree.
So the split, this is what most coverage is ignoring.
So you've got older exiles, the people who left during the 60s, they often support maximum pressure.
So they want some regime change.
Yeah, they want property claims from the nationalization that was happening during that time period.
They even support cutting off some of the remittances entirely.
But the newer immigrants are a little bit different.
Those are the million plus who left after 2021.
They still have parents, siblings, children on the island, and many of them still send money back home to keep them alive.
To me, it's similar to the domestic Iranians who are as foreign Iranians that live out of the country and like the Iranian diaspora or whatever, or like the Cuban diaspora.
It's people that want to go back and they want to be a part of the old regime.
They want the old regime that was backed by America, Batista, to return.
And this is the one thing that I support fully is I would rather have Cuba being 90 miles away from Florida being aligned with the United States over being aligned with Russia or China and having some sort of like espionage that they can do out of there or some type of tactics.
Dude, since the beginning of time, things have not been fair.
I mean, there's always one empire that's at the top, whether you look at the Romans, whether you look at the Ottoman Empire, whether you look at the Persians, there has always been a top dog.
Like that never has not existed.
So it just so happens that America's in that position.
And I would rather us still protect our own backyard.
And if that means that we allow the Cubans to remain and control their own sovereignty and also helping them get the technology advancement while also cooperating, then I'm for that.
I disagree, but I think that's a logical argument.
The argument that I hear you make there that a lot of people make is like, well, like empires exist.
This is the reality of the rise and fall of global powers as they tend to exist.
And if we're not going to do it, someone else is.
If we don't secure that area, if we don't control it, if we don't make sure that there aren't any other players in it, bad things could happen to us.
And I understand that argument.
That argument's reasonable.
However, I would say that America was in a position and may still be in a position to really affect change in the global order that creates a evolution from that paradigm, from that empire paradigm.
And whether that's on accident or on purpose, I think multipolarity is coming, but our own backyard is our own backyard.
So where I may be hyper-critical, super anti-Iran war, super anti-all the genocides happening over there.
When I look at a conflict over here and I look at the consequences for doing it versus the risk reward ratio, there is a bigger reward for controlling our own backyard versus doing stuff literally thousands of miles overseas because this isn't thousands of miles overseas.
Now, I want to talk about specifically the oil crisis again, because we got to look at what happens after a year.
We're on month three right now.
And I've got a lot of things that I put together here on a visual, but Cuba doesn't publish reserve data, but it's pretty, its direction is pretty estimable.
So we're looking at when the fuel runs short, the government does these things.
The grid goes first, hospital second.
You got the water pumping third.
You've got food logistics fourth and security fifth.
And then everything else gets cut.
That's kind of the list of prioritization when you look at it.
So let's go ahead and let's go to my screen share here because I want to show people a scenario what happens if the import of oil does not resume.
And I'm going to show you guys this here.
This is something that we made here on the gray area.
They can find our link in the bio on our X account.
But basically, this is something for our own use.
We got phase one, which is pretty serious.
We're talking months one to two.
And the blackouts get worse and they last longer.
You've got the fuel that is being redirected to the hospitals, the food, the water, the state.
Public transportation gets cut back.
You've got food shortages and spoilages start to rise.
And small business start to reduce their hours or shut off and on.
And the daily life is working, but it's clearly slipping.
So that's what month one and two looks like, but it's pretty serious.
Now we're here at phase two, which is month three to four.
And this is where we start getting severe in what we're trying to start, where we're starting to see within the actual news cycle, right?
So the crisis stops looking temporary.
Major grid failures become more likely.
You've got private transport gets hit hard.
You've got food shortages starting to get worse.
You've got water that becomes less reliable.
You've got hospitals and backup systems that become more under strain.
And then more of the country starts feeling falling behind in these priority zones.
And then if we keep going this way, we're getting into the critical phase here, folks.
Okay.
So this is the breaking point.
And the economy is going to start to halt that society relies on for the for these folks.
And if Cuba runs, this is where Cuba starts running out of breathing room.
You've got fuel reserves that are basically exhausted or completely exhausted.
You've got transportation becomes essential only.
You've got the shortages returning severely.
I mean, they're at a high risk of total collapse at this point.
And then there is a possibility we do get into a month seven to potentially out to an entire year.
And now they're just, the Cubans are going to be in survival mode.
And this is something that people need to pay attention to because if this spans half a year to a year, you're talking about Cuba is in absolute survival mode.
You're talking about a new harsh reality where, you know, a lot of the norms that people have been doing in their day-to-day lives, those no longer exist.
You're talking about permanent blackouts.
You're talking about broken daily life.
You're talking about high civil unrest.
And this is going to create a mass emigration situation where you're going to see a lot of Cubans leaving because they have no choice.
But at that point, it becomes, does the United States take those people in if we are the ones causing this?
I think the situation is a lot different than what we experienced in the 1800s, just purely because we have no longer had separation of like state and federal.
Like federal has just completely taken over the entire system.
And at the same time, Americans are just stable enough to where there's no reason to like do an all-out revolt.
And also, they have ways to inject money into the system to kind of quell that before.
Fellas, I've been thinking about this food shortage more and more.
I mean, we just had the worst winter of all time.
And basically, I don't know if you know that the Farmers Almanac was just bought and put out of business.
So somebody took it over and put it out of business.
Now, why do you think they did that?
Well, one of my reasons is, well, what I think is, is that the Farmers Almanac was known for creating natural occurrence predictions.
Now, since we no longer have natural occurring, you know, agricultural, weather, you know, I don't believe that the people who bought it had a good intentions.
I feel it was more nefarious to put it out of business.
And if you track back, you could see all the years that the crops and the oranges were too cold for a month and had set back the price of oranges and orange juice.
I don't remember that, but it was like maybe 15, 18 years ago.
And so, yeah, I believe just like in trading places, that pork rinds are on the rise.
I just wanted to call and just say you guys are a great addition, Rex.
I've always thought very highly of you.
And your father was a part of my spiritual awakening back in 2021 when I first started, you know, listening to you guys.
And, you know, I love the whole team.
And I just, I really agree with your guys' constructive criticism of the whole point of view.
And I just, you know, like you said with the last caller with the Civil War, you know, I definitely think that it's, you know, they're trying to mitigate it with this geoengineering of like the Midwest to where we can't, like, I'm in construction and I can't have, you know, a consistent work week because of this constant, oh, we got tornadoes coming and everything.
I think they're trying to keep the people that would do the overthrow of a government of a tyrannical government by doing this mass geoengineering of the weather.
And could you please, both of you, tell me, like, each of you, what is one of your favorite songs each?
And I'll try to make a cool promo song that has a song component from each one of you guys.
Now, what I'd like to ask you both to comment on is the King James Bible, how it says in that region, humanity will find its conclusion after substantial material conflict is overwhelms all of us.
Please comment about that.
And also, how you think maybe the bad guys use that as an excuse to leverage their doings.
Over several points, people have felt that, you know, that's what's coming.
That's what's happening.
I see a scenario where at the end of all of this, it actually starts to get better.
And again, it has to get worse before it gets better.
But, you know, you go back to Vietnam and you were to ask people during that time period, they're probably feeling a lot similar to what we're feeling like right now.
I just wanted to talk about, you know, is there an off-ramp to this Iran war?
And I heard you guys talking about civil war.
And my personal opinion about that is if civil war goes off, there's so many militaries here that have came into our country that everybody's going to be fighting over water salination plants and electric grids.
And we'll be fighting with each other.
Also, on the back side of it, I just wanted to talk about, I run South LabusicMedia.net.
Yeah, and we're starting to see a lot of rock artists doing the same thing.
Like Billy from Smashing Pumpkins just came out and he was talking about how in the 90s, um, how rock's fade wasn't like a natural fade, it was um very much like the deep state inside of the music industry.
We wrote reports on like the industry and the big three and all that, but yeah, more so I want to know about like where's this off-ramp to the Iran war.
I mean, Trump has been forced into a conflict where he's going to have a really hard time uh extraditing himself.
I mean, situation developing.
We got Marines en route to the area, apparently, to take Carg Island or something like that.
But I think that may be a fake out.
We've got the Iranian military, which every day we hear that they've been defeated and that they've been destroyed.
Uh, Tel Aviv is still getting hit, Haifa's still getting hit.
Everywhere in the Middle East, still getting hit by either drones or missiles.
So, Trump has to either take all of his bases out and totally leave the region and submit to Iranian control, the Strait of Hormuz, where they have attacks on ships, or he has to affect regime change.
So, in his mind, I think it's going to be easier and he'll have more support within the own government to affect regime change versus pulling out now.
We've seen the Iranian demands and Tim called them unreasonable.
They are unreasonable for what you're going to get, right?
But, you know, six months into the conflict, it might not be unreasonable if we can't win.
So, I just don't see an off-ramp as much as I'd like to find one.
I mean, maybe I see this winding down sometime a few months from now, maybe by the end of the year, but it has to because the markets aren't going to be able to keep up with this.
And it's going to be economic pressure that's going to create this off-ramp.
People are going to demand around the world: hey, you are making everything out of control.
And when Americans start feeling that inflation, which is what is going to happen, that's probably the inflection point where Trump realizes, okay, we got to stop.
If you're out there listening to rock music or you play rock music, and I mean anything under the big umbrella of rock, reggae, the punk, to anything, garage rock, heavy rock, desert rock.
We had on Michael Graves from the Misfit.
Yeah, we'll cover your music, but also like, come on and listen to the music because we are delivering.
It's not just the same seven songs every day.
Like there is a fire.
And it's rock is the resistance.
It always has been.
You look at wartime.
I mean, any war we've been in, rock music has been pushing us through it.
Hey, Adam, I know it's very easy for the average person to feel this way, but I want you guys to understand one thing.
The news, media, they all have one job, and that's to keep you on that specific platform.
So they want to push that negative narrative, that negative rhetoric, because that is what in the human psychology gets you to pay attention and to actually focus.
Look outside, walk around, go take a walk around your block.
Do you see bombs?
Do you see anything?
Most people are interacting with their people normally and fine.
America is in a good position.
It may not seem like it, but things will get better.
I think everyone is starting to come together.
We're starting to see that we can't be lied to anymore.
Independent media is starting to come out.
That's why Infowars exist.
That's why we are speaking out.
And I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
So I don't want you to get discouraged.
I don't want anybody out there to get discouraged because that is what they want you to do.
But ultimately, like Tim says, we just got to be grateful for what we have right now and pray to God and try to be grateful to him for everything that we've received.
Thank you so much for your call.
Really appreciate that.
We got DMT, not the drug, the person coming up.
Dominic Michael Drippy about to join us.
Giving us a breakdown of what's going on, Middle East.
You know, I mean, I think that they if they if they could become uh part of like, I don't know, necessarily kind of like a Cuba, uh, uh, fall under the protection of the United States and not necessarily have to be a state, but just be involved in and be part of, like I said, be someone like a Canada and uh Mexico should be.
Yeah, well, well, let me jog everybody's memory back because what I was covering earlier specifically, the only thing that can't happen again is what we did the first time before Fidel Castro came in.
American corporations shouldn't be going in there and doing resource extraction that should belong to the actual Cuban people, and we should be aiding them if we want to make deals where they also benefit at the same time.
I'm all in support of that.
I think that's the only way we get to a situation to where the Cuban people are happy to welcome American corporations in.
I think that they should put globalist, like in like you're doing a definition in the dictionary, put globalist, and then for the definition, put a useless life form who was meant to be swallowed.
I called the police and, you know, they said they registered the call, but then after that, like I called a month after and because I wasn't getting a response.
So their response this time was for me to stay away from everyone because they were all child traffickers.
And they also said, yeah.
And, you know, that was the thing.
Like I was complaining about people that I was, you know, suspecting as well.
So, you know, that was pretty weird.
I got surrounded by this whole anti-police group and political guys or whatever they were.
So what happened was later on, the person, no, what happened was my fiancé kept calling me back over the years until 2013.
And she kept saying that, you know, all these people were after me and they hated me.
It's like an asteroid hurtling towards the planet.
And as we get closer to the end of the third hour, I just want to do something real quick because we got to do it.
You want to know about these deals?
Go to thealexjonesstore.com.
Right now, we got the America First Faraday bag, America First Tactical Trench Knife, Trench Dagger, America First T-shirt, MKUltra Plus Atomic Defense.

Every $1 spent, 100 times the entries to win, sounds like a good deal to me.
Clearly, their move has been to send in the assets during the week, then actually attack during the weekend.
So, right now, it seems to be the trend that everyone is discussing a cessation of the hostilities.
They're discussing a possible ceasefire.
They're talking about JD Vance going over there and potentially discussing a deal.
The thing is, is that the words of this administration have proven to be the last thing that you can actually rely upon.
And the movement of all these assets, the deployment of many of these specialized troops, amphibious units, that is what says it all.
And that to me is the greatest indication that the hostilities certainly are not coming to an end anytime soon.
And I actually think that we're going to see the United States escalate in an attempt to eventually de-escalate.
So, I think, you know, think of it this way: you go to a 4th of July fireworks display, and typically the biggest fireworks and the biggest booms are always saved for last.
I think that we're going to try to really do some serious shock and awe over some point over the next seven to 10 days.
And at that point, perhaps then we may potentially start to actually discuss, you know, a cessation of the hostilities.
Well, it all depends on how this next move actually goes.
I mean, the only way feasibly that American escalation could lead to a further winding up of this war is if we were to hit critical infrastructure in Iran and Iranian leadership basically made the choice that it's not worth the cost of human life and our civilians in order to keep this going.
I mean, as of right now, we also need to take into account Israel.
It's like, obviously, the United States has their interests.
The United States has their objectives, but clearly those don't always align with Israel.
And by all indications, Israel is absolutely committed to a full-scale regime change at any cost.
So it's very hard to prognosticate what actually is going to happen because Israel is that wildcard that's going to be pretty difficult to predict what they do.
So as far as a short-term ceasefire, no, I don't see that at least within the next month or so.
I mean, realistically, a lot of these troops and these amphibious units aren't even going to arrive in the Middle East for another seven to 10 days.
So no, I don't think there's going to be a ceasefire anytime soon.
However, I do still think there's just so many possibilities right now that it would be difficult to give you truly a prediction that I have a ton of confidence.
And I can if you want, but that's where I'm at right now.
Well, Rex and I were just talking about earlier on the show the actual peace plan, and they seem to be some overlaps, but some are wildly different from each other.
Like Trump seems to be giving the better deal for the Iranians almost than some of the things that I saw at Iran giving concessions on them.
I mean, they want that long-range missile capacity as well.
So, as of about 25 minutes ago, Iran formally rejected the 15-point plan that the Trump administration through intermediaries sent to them.
Iran has five sticking points that flat out the United States and Israel are not going to agree to.
So, I'll read the five as follows: Iran is insisting on a complete halt to aggression and assassinations by the enemy, the establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on Iran, guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations, the conclusion of war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved in the region.
And they are also demanding that the U.S. exit and close down all of their regional military bases in the Middle East.
The chances of that happening are honestly less than zero.
And so, again, we find ourselves back at square one.
You know, now it seems like the Trump administration wants to go back to what they initially were trying to discuss as far as a peace deal.
But the issue is that during the last peace negotiations, as you guys know, America and Israel bombed the hell out of Iran.
So, you know, you're seeing a lot of Iranian leaders release statements that are basically along these lines.
They're saying we are not going to negotiate with these same parties that completely betrayed us and did not act in good faith.
And now they're also mirroring a message from, I believe it was a British intelligence officer that said that the primary negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, are essentially acting as agents of Israel.
And, you know, obviously we know, like, of course, like it's not all Jewish people that are involved in this, but I think that it would be almost inappropriate not to say that it is true that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are indeed Jewish individuals.
And of course, Israel itself is the center of Jewish identity, was founded on the fact that it is the Jewish state.
So I think that it is reasonable.
You know, you see like Laura Loomer, you see some of the personalities saying, oh, this is anti-Semitic.
Oh, this is trash.
But the reality of it is, I think that them wanting a Christian or a non-Jewish negotiator to be going through these details, I think is kind of reasonable.
I really do.
So as of right now, the negotiations don't really seem to be going anywhere.
There's a lot of contradictory information.
So I think this weekend is going to be very telling as far as the future of this war.
Well, tell me, DMT, who do you think has the cards?
Who holds all of the power in this negotiation?
Because I can't definitively put my finger on either side because Iran has some pretty strict control over the strait, but the United States and Israel clearly have superiority when it comes to military capacity.
So who do you think?
I don't actually, who do you think actually is the one that has to concede more than the other?
That's a great question, Tim, and you brought up a very good point.
Obviously, the military might of the United States cannot be matched in a traditional sense.
What you're seeing is this asymmetric warfare and strategic excellency from Iran.
I mean, you're seeing, I just saw today, I just sent two videos to Tim actually of Iraqi-backed or excuse me, Iranian-backed Iraqi militias using first-person view drones to successfully take out a Black Hawk helicopter and successfully take out the Sentinel radar system at Camp Victory in Iraq.
So the thing is, is that, of course, on paper, the United States has very clear advantages as far as equipment, as far as capability.
But as far as actually controlling the region using asymmetric warfare tactics, cutting off economic supply chains, cutting off the oil, I honestly do think that in this rare instance, Iran actually does hold most of the cards because truthfully, if they were going to do what was necessary to truly break the back of the global economy, I feel that Donald Trump likely would end up exiting and winding this up pretty soon.
And I know you were talking about that earlier, Tim, in a prior segment, talking about how the economic pressures are ultimately going to be what leads to the end of this war.
And that's truthfully what I believe.
Now, there's basically two ways that it could end.
It could end from an unbelievable, unprecedented amount of violence, of destruction of civilian and critical infrastructure throughout Iran from the United States and Israel, or it could end because the United States simply decides that the cost is too great.
The economic fallout from a lot of these global moves and a lot of these oil moves and a lot of things are doing with Hormuz and several other things.
It might just not be worth it.
And again, those would be the two most likely outcomes.
But then again, you've got Israel.
And Israel, you know, I don't agree with this.
I think it's ridiculous because Iran has never attacked unless they were provoked.
But clearly, they believe it's an existential crisis.
And that is where Israeli interests and U.S. interests simply don't align.
And that's also where it's evident to me that clearly the U.S. was drawn in or pulled in or forced into this war, either by coercion, blackmail, or just straight up manipulation.
And it's incredible that we are where we are right now, guys.
They actually believe some sort of Israeli, you know, there's so many Israeli propaganda accounts that are posing as like MAGA patriots and things these days.
And I guess the difference between MAGA and pro-Israel is essentially nothing at this point.
But I saw people releasing propaganda videos showing, who was it?
It was Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas.
It was Hosanna Salalah, the leader of Hezbollah.
Was a couple other guys that Israel has killed.
And then the camera pans over to the side and they show a video of Erdogan.
Clearly, and you can even say, I've seen some memes going around saying it's like a it's like someone pretending they're a boomer in 2030 saying, Hey, I know that you were right, you were right about Iraq.
I know you were right about Iran, but this time we're right about Turkey.
So, clearly, look, this whole thing about when people used to pretend that the Greater Israel Plan was some conspiracy theory, clearly that's not the case.
They wear the patch on their own freaking military uniforms.
The actual, you know, the series of events that's led up to this, then taking out different global or different regional powers in the region.
We'll just go through it real quick.
They took out Hamas.
They took out Hezbollah in Lebanon.
They are working on, they obviously overthrew the Assad, the Assad regime in Syria.
And it's just to the point where they're being very open with their intentions.
And absolutely, after this whole quagmire with Iran is finished, whatever the conclusion may be, they're most definitely going to set their sights on Turkey and they're going to continue on their path to complete their objective of becoming a global hegemon and a regional superpower, global superpower.
Well, historically, Hezbollah and the fighters in southern Lebanon have given Israel a great deal of trouble as far as ground warfare is concerned.
And actually, just a little bit earlier today, I saw that the IDF has activated 400,000 reservist forces, and they have stated their intention to not only continue their incursion into southern Lebanon, but they actually have stated their intention to hold the territory.
So very clearly, if you look into Israeli military doctrine, if you look into what their actual goals are, they have always wanted to annex a great deal of territory in Lebanon.
And realistically, they actually want to inhabit and control all the territory leading all the way up to Damascus.
So their plan and part of the Greater Israel Project is to take and hold a great portion of Lebanon.
Honestly, the whole thing, if they could feasibly justify it, but they'll have so much global pushback if they were to take a city like Beirut, which has thousands of years of rich history.
You know, they probably would not end up taking Beirut.
But as far as a great deal of Lebanon, a great deal of Syria, they're open with their plan.
They even want to take the Sinai Peninsula.
They would love to start re-engaging in those wars.
And perhaps they will once they feel that America no longer really offers them so much and they don't care about what America has to say or their potential interventions.
So, no, I think that they are absolutely going to increase and escalate the situation in Lebanon.
And I think, you know, they talk about this eight-front war all the time.
And as you just mentioned, Turkey, they want to expand this.
They want to cause as much global chaos as possible.
And in the end, I think they want to rule over a heaping pile of ashes and fire.
I mean, I really do.
And if you listen to them, that's actually what much of their doctrine, much of their religious ideology, it's what much of it says.
You're talking about the apocalyptic fantasies, both of the Christian Zionists and then of the ultra-Orthodox over there in Israel.
There's another element to this we're not considering.
How do the Gulf states feel about all of this?
How stable are they?
Are they worried about their populations rising up to overthrow them?
Are they worried about the U.S. being more of a liability than a benefit to them as a quote-unquote security partner or whatever, meaning we control you, put our base in you, and we don't attack you?
The reason that you are seeing influencers that are from Dubai, like obviously the Tates, but you're also seeing one of their guys, I believe his name is Joel.
His nickname is the sartorial shooter.
Anyways, you're seeing people that are running very obvious propaganda in these Gulf states because the Gulf states, their current form, is all based around being essentially a utopia, an oasis in a very chaotic region.
And so, you know, people talk about Dubai being a place of peace, a place of global prosperity.
What do you think it does to that image when the nicest hotel in Dubai is literally getting a drone directly ran into it with an intense explosion accompanying it?
It absolutely is destroying the facade of the image that they have given of Dubai and they've given of Qatar.
And, you know, in some instances, even Saudi Arabia, they are trying to modernize their society.
And so this regional turmoil, they absolutely can't stand it.
At first, they were trying to reach out to Iran and basically just say, you know, obviously there's the Shia and Sunni differences, but you're our Muslim brothers.
Please stop hitting our bases.
Please stop hitting our territory.
And even Trump himself in a press conference yesterday, he mentioned that he was so surprised by the fact that Iran struck all these bases and struck all these GCC states repeatedly.
And so I think now the Gulf states are in panic.
And since they've proven that they cannot deter Iran, they cannot stop the missiles, they're not able to truly stop the chaos there.
Now what you're seeing is many reports of the Gulf states asking the U.S. to escalate and to increase their military involvement in the region.
You know, talking about the Sunni Shia stuff, you know, you're talking about the Middle East and you're talking about the Gulf countries and what they want.
And they were surprised.
I don't think they realized or thought that these were going to be direct attacks on them.
But there's also another aspect to this that we don't talk about because Saudi Arabia and Iran have never been friends, right?
Like I'm sure they have tried to work things out, but because of that spiritual or religious difference, the Saudis do have a reason for Iran to be taken out, right?
Like a majority of Muslims are Sunni, right?
So I think it's like 80 to 90 plus percent.
So it might be 80, but they also want their own interests within the regions and they don't want Iran there.
So I think MBS and some of these other Gulf countries have been behind the scenes having conversations.
And there is actually, you know, at first, there was many reports discussing that, you know, MBS was privately pushing President Trump to increase activities in Iran.
But actually, there's been public reports of it now as well.
And, you know, if you think back, just if you actually think back before October 7th, you know, I believe that Saudi Arabia and Qatar were very heavily considering joining, we'll just call it an Abraham Accords 2.0, if you will.
And that was, you know, we were on the precipice of Israel normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
And the thing is, is once October 7th happened, you know, as far as the discussions I'm familiar with, MBS essentially said that he would still like to normalize relations with Israel.
But again, this is a monarchy.
This is a royal group.
There's a lot of, you know, there is actually dissidents in Saudi Arabia.
And there are people that are against the royal family, but, you know, they like cut their head off if you actually were to publicly dissent.
So we don't hear about that very much.
But basically what I'm saying is that.
It would have been such a bad PR move and so wildly unpopular amongst the general public that the normalization discussions, they ceased after October 7th.
So no, I definitely think that a lot of these global players, or excuse me, a lot of these regional players in the Gulf certainly want to want a weekend Iran.
And I think that right now, after they've been hit pretty hard and they've suffered some reputational damage, I think that you'll see them continue to lobby the Trump administration to increase attacks.
Just to put it, I'm just going to cut straight to the chase.
We are at the lowest level of interceptor stockpiles in the history of modern United States.
We, after just the 12-day war, mind you, we're on day 26 of this conflict now, and there's been way more missiles to intercept this round.
Just in the 12-day war, we had expended so many interceptor missiles that we only were down to 25% of our remaining supply.
And that was last summer.
We are only able to produce four FAD missiles per month.
And that's on a best case scenario.
They also cost between $12 and $15 million.
And the launching unit itself is a billion dollars.
Adversely, the drones, the Shahed 136 Iranian drones, cost, it was previously believed they cost $20,000.
Most recent estimates have actually confirmed that they cost somewhere near $7,500.
So we are using. a $12 to $15 million missile system to take down a drone that costs $7,000.
It's simply something that the United States cannot continue to do.
And actually, funny enough, we were talking about the U.S. interceptor supply, but clearly they're being used for Israel.
They're being used for all these places in the Gulf.
They're being used for everywhere that's not the United States.
God forbid we actually have an attack here.
But very interestingly and very, we'll call it ironic, I guess, but I don't know if you guys saw this, but a Volkswagen plant in Germany is now actually stopping the production of automobiles and they are producing interceptor missiles for Israel due to this absolutely never encountered before.
Well, I mean, obviously, global defense contractors are making buku bucks off of this.
You know, really hedge funds, large banks, energy companies that are not being directly affected by the shortage in the straight of Hermuz.
I mean, all these people are making money.
And a lot of times people don't actually, they don't actually take that into account.
Just because the common consumer, the average American may be struggling financially because of the economic conditions that this war creates.
The actual economy itself and the bigwigs and the fat cats, they often just make more money off of these, off of these conflicts.
And actually, you You can go back to, I believe it was about a week ago.
I think his name is Stephen Haskins.
He's an advisor to the president.
He's related to, he's some type of financial advisor to the president with an official White House role.
And he actually even said, oh, well, the United States economy can handle this war for a year or for a sustained period of time.
It's the American consumer that is going to get beat up by this.
And that's the thing that is so wildly frustrating about this whole war to begin with.
You know, it's like you see right now these neocons, these pro-Israel zealots that have taken over the MAGA movement, and they're consistently telling any honest patriot that is anti-war, that is actually just trying to hold Donald Trump to his campaign promises, and they are treating them like an actual enemy of this country and a material supporter of terrorism simply because they are trying to hold the president accountable to his promises.
And I think that, you know, it's just such a disgusting situation because the average American is who is paying for this.
The average American is doing worse because of this decision.
So it's not just a betrayal, but it's actually, you know, materially putting people back and it's it's it's inhibiting people's progress.
And so there's just so many reasons to be upset about this other than the terrible loss of American life, the terrible loss of innocent children's lives, bombing schools.
It's just, it's out of control and the man does not seem to have a plan.
And it seems right now that, you know, America is floundering and we're really, we're really taking on a lot of reputational damage because of this on a global scale.
And you look at the rest of the world, what's happening right now, you know, for the first time, you've got these European countries starting to make deals with China.
You've got Canada.
Canada starting to make deals with China.
And it came from the tariff situation.
And now you're just seeing.
And people are starting to realize India was supposed to be our counterbalance to China's manufacturing.
And right now, I don't think, how could we interpret the actions of America other than anything else than pushing global players into the arms of China?
Because we're proving to be, at the very least, a very chaotic and oftentimes unreliable partner.
The only partner that we have not been unreliable to that we've bent over backwards for in every instance is, you guessed it, Israel.
Even the Gulf countries who have given us trillion dollars within the last year, who have honestly been tremendous allies to us.
We have Al Udade base there as one of the largest military installations in the Middle East.
They let us use their territory.
They have been extremely kind to the Americans and to our government and to our military, yet we continuously continue to screw them over for really for no feasible reason other than just for Israel's benefit and their global pursuits.
And so, yeah, it's very disappointing.
And I think that you're going to see other countries continue to go to China, continue to go to Russia.
And you're already seeing it now.
And so, yes, I think that, you know, America is acting like an empire that's on its last legs.
And I don't want that to be a case.
I'm a proud American.
I'm a proud patriot.
I do not want America to be faltering, but I just don't think that any honest observer can call it anything else but that.
Clearly, America is on decline.
And the more that we decline that Russia and China are going to be bolstered in every way.
Rex, you mentioned earlier that when something's in your backyard, then you have a little bit more of a vested interest in what goes on there.
You know, if you own a nice house and all of a sudden there's some riffraff going on in your backyard, you're going to be a little bit concerned.
My whole thing is that, you know, Cuba, they don't really truly have any power.
Yes, they are in close proximity to the United States, but do you really think that the U.S. was going to allow some sort of weaponry or some sort of anything that could truly harm the United States?
I feel like mainly the U.S. has already controlled Cuba in many aspects already.
So as far as cutting off their fuel, cutting off their relationship with Venezuela, which is leading to a humanitarian crisis because of a lack of energy, honestly, I think the Cuban people have gone through enough.
They drive cars that are made in the 60s.
They live in a lot of dilapidated conditions.
I saw some recent footage of fantastic journalist Ryan Grimm from Dropsite News, who actually was, he just gained entry into Cuba last week.
And some of the things going on in their hospital systems, I mean, they're just, honestly, they're crimes against humanity.
So I think at the very least, we should have some sort of measured, a little bit more of a compassionate policy towards Cuba.
We have a lot of Cuban immigrants to the United States.
I think a lot of the actions we've taken against Cuba have been inappropriate, to be quite honest with you.
You know, me and you, we disagree on it a little bit.
I think we're closer than I originally thought because here's the thing.
Obviously, they're right next to us.
We have more input over what goes on there by the very nature of the security risk and the potential economic risk of Russia or China coming in there and doing what we're going to do.
We're going to control that area regardless.
Why don't we give some of the foreign aid we've given these other countries to them so they can have hospitals, so they can have schools, so they can have infrastructure.
We never do that.
We never take care of people.
We hit them over the head with sanctions.
We bully them.
Why can't we have a generous, friendly approach, kind of like the Chinese do, kind of like a Belt and Road, but of our own, where we go, hey, like, why not help us, let us help you develop this nation?
That's what I think.
But I wanted to ask you another question relating to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, because of course, we've got the Iran thing going on.
We've got the Israel thing going on.
We've got Cuba going on.
The Ukraine war has been raging for years and years and years.
And all we see is more escalation.
I mean, in 2024 with Biden, that was like the most dangerous time.
We were right there on the threat escalation ladder, the targeting of the nuclear triad and all of that.
Now Ukraine has hit Russia or one of Russia's largest oil depots.
Well, if you're, I mean, the thing is, is if we would have just cut the money, Ukraine would have essentially been forced to a position of negotiating and probably seceding some of that terror and the Don, some of the territory in the Donbass.
And ultimately, I think that's what's going to happen.
A lot of these people are Russian native speakers.
They don't really like Ukraine.
They actually like Russia.
You know, they historically were part of Russia.
So I think it's a very unfortunate situation.
Many of these people are essentially, you know, they're ethnically related.
They're of the same people.
And I think that it doesn't really serve any interests other than just keeping these global military contractors, keeping a lot of these globalist organizations profiting.
So I don't really understand what the point of it is at this point, other than just a forever war that continues to enrich all these parties that contributed to the corruption and the degradation of our country.
Well, I mean, I think that, you know, unfortunately, China and even Russia have proven to be a lot more measured and they've planned a lot better and they've been less impulsive than American military minds and American leadership.
So I think Russia and China probably realize that, you know, if they were to get heavily involved with Iran, that absolutely would trigger, there's nothing else you could call it.
That would be the beginning of World War III.
And I'm not sure if they think that the cost of saving Iran is worth that for the potential for their country.
They understand that the world is no longer going through these conflicts in which military wins out.
They know it's the economy.
It's the guy who actually has all of the economic output that controls all the costs.
The turkey influx of money.
So their focus has been, well, instead of, you know, going into Africa and putting a gun to their head, let's give them very big loans to where they're indebted to us and they owe us money.
And then we can control them that way.
When it comes to Taiwan, if they get Taiwan, which they will probably take with military force, we're starting to see a lot more exercises going on out there while the world's distracted with Iran.
As far as China and Russia are related to Iran, understand from their position strategically, the longer that America continues to go on with this war, expend tons of resources, weaken themselves reputationally on a global scale, every single bit of that benefits both Russia and China.
So if I was in a leadership position in Russia or China, I would say, let's let these idiots hang themselves with their own rope.
They're continuing to make poor decisions.
They're continuing to act out of arrogance and out of completely lack of planning.
And so the longer this goes on, the weaker the U.S. gets, the more spread out U.S. assets are, which creates essentially the inability for the U.S. to even substantially intervene in Chinese objectives to take Taiwan.
And I absolutely believe that China is going to take Taiwan.
And I actually don't even believe that the United States is going to put up as much of a fight as we like to act.
Like I have a nephew of mine that's that's a he's a million, he's a naval officer.
So, I, you know, I hear some discussions about what's going on and what he thinks.
And he thinks that, you know, we're preparing for Taiwan and that the Taiwan thing is going to be some huge issue.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if China, they already are, they're already flooding assets closer to Taiwan.
They're already positioning ships, ships surrounding Taiwan right now as we speak.
You can look it up.
They've been putting assets in the area already.
I think eventually they'll continue to stack assets.
And at some point, whether it's over the summer or whether it's over at some point in the next year, once the U.S. has officially, it's very known that they're spread too thin.
The military might isn't exactly all that it was, you know, chomped up to be.
I think you will see them move.
And I will, and you know, you were talking earlier, Rex, about how it's a multipolar world and that, you know, the U.S. is continuing to deny that evident truth.
And that's absolutely the case.
We do live in a multipolar world now.
It is a global society in many senses.
And this war with Iran is weakening America as far as our positioning in this new global power structure.
So, you know, I just, I want to take a moment and just like, I'm just decompress a little bit.
Yeah, let's just decompress a little bit because I know a lot of things have been doom and gloom.
There's a lot of things that we talk about, and it's very easy to get blackpilled.
But, you know, I encourage people, you know, after you, you're finished watching your daily show today from InfoWars, you watch Alex at 1 p.m. with the Hodge twins.
You know, maybe you catch a little bit of the war room in the afternoon.
I encourage every single person to go out there, spend some time with family tonight.
Honestly, like, because I remember this guy, the caller, he's calling in and he's asking, everything is so dark, Rex.
Like, what do I do?
And honestly, the best solution is to just get offline for a couple of hours, spend some time with family, go on a walk, pet your dog, take him on a walk.
It just, those things are the things that ground us in reality.
And it makes you understand that everything is going to be okay.
Everything is fine.
They are, everything about social media is designed to make you feel panicked.
That way, they can control you into influencing your psychology and making you make decisions.
Panic buying starts happening.
Somebody's making money.
You get caught in an algorithm and they give you the for you algorithm.
They're purposely putting the same narrative over and over and over again in your face.
And the whole thing for me, guys, I spend hours of my time outside of the show whenever we're doing our own personal show on the gray area, whether we're doing this on the journal.
I spend thinking, okay, what's something new that an audience member can learn from us today?
That's why it's so awesome to have the great guests and the great callers as well, because we get to really have that dialogue with people and develop and see where we're at, where they're at, how they feel about the world, and what we can do to make it better.
