The American Journal: Trump Says Iran’s “New Regime President” Has Asked For Ceasefire, But USA Will Continue Bombardment Until Hormuz Strait Reopened - FULL SHOW - 04/01/2026
Rex Jones and Tim Tompkins dissect Trump's 2026 Iran strategy, where the U.S. continues bombardment until the Hormuz Strait reopens despite a ceasefire request. They critique tactical errors like bombing before tank deployment, which Lawrence Wilkerson warns leads to heavy losses, while debating if Iran must adopt a brutal approach or risk regime change. The hosts also analyze global housing unaffordability, noting BlackRock owns only 20% of U.S. homes, and condemn the killing of 180 schoolgirls as genocide, urging listeners to demand excellence from officials.

These revelations of that, you know, the elites at a very high level, and we actually know the basic number of them as well, are doing human trafficking, human rape, and human sacrificing of children because they're the closest to God.
And when I like read this, I mean, it's unthinkable.
Like, you don't want to believe it.
And so I mentioned it on Joe Rogan.
But I also mentioned that I was starting an AI company.
And what shocked me is after the show, more people wanted to talk about the AI thing, and more people were upset about, you know, that I was starting an AI company than they were about, you know, this nightmare of elites eating babies.
And I mean, we've seen people who have spoken about it, who have been, who have participated in it and who have left.
It's a kind of, It's an initiation that you go through to become a confidence initiation that you go through to become part of a team.
And that's when I realized that this is not something that's unique to the elites, that human nature involves these kinds of hazing initiations, or else we wouldn't see it happening since childhood.
Andrew Breitbart, I'm quoting you, in a newspaper interview he gave last year discussing the people who run Hollywood, quote, uh oh, yes, quote, I'm telling you they're uninteresting.
They're vicious, they're vitriolic, they're really, really not good people, and I'm willing to say that on the record.
Well, I'm not saying the entirety, but the ones who have controlled Hollywood for the last 40 years, that quote could be attributed to the campus left as well.
It could be attributed to people who are in charge in Venezuela right now.
Anywhere where the left gets control, you start to see political correctness run amok.
You start seeing dissenting views quashed.
They use projection.
Right before they do so, they start attacking the people that they're about to go after of being guilty of the very things that they do.
You select it, you project it, you expect it, and then you collect it.
It's the spec method, and it actually works.
And so, people who are using it for you know, there's good spells and bad spells, and there's spells that are promoting humanity, and then there's spells that are disintegrating humanity.
I am your host, Rex Jones, joined by Tim Tompkins, of course, sitting here in studio today, running up the news for you guys, going through it with a fine tooth comb and from a 30,000 foot view, but also at the ground level.
We kept asking him questions and we were kind of looking to get to some like breaking news type of stuff, but he wants to give you like a deep level overview on every point.
And we really hope.
We know our viewers and listeners are like really highly intelligent people that like those kinds of conversations.
So this is a guy that's live like six out of seven of the days of the week.
He's live for like 12 to 14 hours.
He's on these calls and what they do in these calls.
It's a room.
It's a Twitter space.
We kind of all know what they are right at this point.
But it's just people sharing the latest breaking news based on local events, people that live in these areas, people that know military officials, just constantly calling in breaking news, calling in update, explosion, chaos, war.
And he's the guy, really, since the 12 day war, that's been tracking all of it.
Sure, but their desalinization only accounts for 3% of their total water pool, whereas some of these nations, it's a majority.
If you look at Israel, for example, and this is just why me and Tim were anti war, we look at it just from a perspective of why would you do this?
We're not like, we're taking America and Israel's side.
We're also not like, we're taking the Iranian side.
That's not our position.
We look at this as like, oh, well, the Mercedes hit the 18 wheeler on the highway, and there's a giant eight car fire now, and then there's body parts everywhere in the street.
Iran's new regime president, much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a ceasefire.
We will consider when the Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear.
Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion.
Or as they say, back to the Stone Age, President DJT.
So I don't believe it's a new guy other than Perchevsky.
And Perchevsky has been very clear throughout this entire thing.
Prozhevsky was a moderate and he was elected because there is that large portion of the Iranian people that do want to work with the West and want to be more liberal and secular and these things, right?
But as we did a deep dive on, maybe we need to do it again.
Tim, you explained very clearly how their leadership structure works.
Yeah, so the Iran system is a little bit different.
Ever since they overthrew the Shah, they used to have a different, they used to kind of have like a monarchy system back in the 50s when the Shah was in place.
And then You had the 70s hit, and then Ayatollah came in, they made it more of a religious structure.
So, with the supreme leader, the supreme leader is almost like a walking authority on earth.
I would just say it's more like a Secretary of State, perhaps, or not even Secretary of State, like Secretary of the Interior, kind of a guy that handles domestic cabinet like positions.
But let's get to this because it's everything we're talking about and more from CBS News.
Trump to give important update on Iran at 9 p.m. tonight.
Okay, now we've also seen Pierce Starmer come out.
We've also seen the Australian prime minister come out, and they're all talking about the straight.
They're talking about the oil crisis.
I think this is going to be a preamble for the ground invasion.
Naval forces into the Indo Pacific, a spokesperson for the U.S. Third Fleet said, adding that the flagship of the carrier group has more than 5,000 sailors and Marines who are highly trained, tested, and certified in all warfare areas.
In the interest of operational security, we do not discuss future operation schedules or specific personnel numbers, the spokesperson said, before noting a carrier group's mission can be changed at any time.
So they're going to combat.
And, like, the thing is, you can play cute with the language, you can do little rhetorical games.
Here's the thing this is why I know, like, We cover a lot of different topics and you cover analytical systems, like to do the deep research.
For me, I am passionately anti war.
And I believe every American or most Americans, like 75 plus percent, if they are properly explained or if it's properly explained to them what's been going on, what's been taken from them, what they've, we've all been robbed.
Take a look at Donald Trump's overall net approval rating.
This is the lowest of his term, the lowest of his second term.
We're talking about minus 17 points, 17 points underwater.
And unlike in Donald Trump's first term, in which he was negative basically throughout his entire term, Trump actually started off in positive territory here in his second term.
But now he's at the lowest point of his second term.
I'm going to turn myself down the headphones here.
I keep forgetting to do that.
Here's the thing that's so wild about this.
The argument to people watching us right now that are getting angry, they're going, they're using CNN and CNN is fake news.
Donald Trump told me that.
Okay, well, Donald Trump also told you that when they gave him 100% approval rating and said that everyone liked him and that nobody else, he got better ratings than Kim Jong Un, basically.
Fox is reporting, I think, above 60% disagreement.
disapproval ratings and i've seen plenty of videos screenshots of that sure maybe if we can find something like that it it's across the board and it's not hard to to fought to find the facts you know and you can live in a in a box or or put your head in the sand and pretend like it's not happening but it doesn't matter whether it was a democrat or whether it was a republican No one wants to be in these situations or lied to.
The argument that I'm making by pointing out the CNN hypocrisy is what we see on Fox News a lot with the polling and with the propaganda, really, is the reinforcement of the base still supports President Trump.
The base, the base, the base.
You hear this over and over and over again.
They're not worried about the independent.
They're not even worried about the Democrats.
And I think it's funny that we hear them talk about the midterms so much.
They don't care about the midterms at all.
They know they're going to lose everything because of their foreign policy.
They made a calculated decision.
To spend their political capital now, in my opinion.
When I was kind of more on the left side back in the early 2020s, I was looking at all these Democrats drinking the Biden Kool Aid and they're just like gulping that stuff up.
We were classical liberals, as we described ourselves.
And look how all the art and wonder and beauty and history has been taken out of politics and all the knowledge of people that came before us and what they said.
About these specific situations, and it's been replaced by an orange guy on TV.
And the boomers just watch it, and we watch it too.
So, all those Americans, I believe the 13 Americans dead and the hundreds of casualties so far, the hundreds of injured, it's just a little excursion, a little detour we have to take.
And the thing is, Maybe you could even make an argument that the U.S. is, quote unquote, doing well if you use the metric of like killing the leadership and trying to destabilize the country as a whole.
You can't make the argument of like, there is no battle.
We've won the battle when you're actively fighting.
In Vietnam, we all we had to do was establish a base and, you know, we get our people.
Output transcript Out of there and whatever.
And look how that turned out, right?
We're entering into another quagmire.
And the thing that we discuss a lot on these shows is that you don't get to pick and choose these global decisions.
Even if you are the president of the United States, like we talked about with Simon and so many other phenomenal guests, Tim, the reality of these transnational capital forces and just entities around the globe, the president and others are middle management at best.
So we're entering into an age now where people have been trained to focus on the leadership instead of the man behind the curtain.
Well, I'm here to tell you right now.
On the American Journal.
That is what we focus on the man behind the curtain, what he's doing, who or what he actually is.
The stakes in the case are high, putting on a collision course more than a century of executive branch action, the Supreme Court precedent and the text of the Constitution itself, or more specifically, the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment.
Of course, the headline is Supreme Court to Weigh Trump's Bid to End Birthright Citizenship.
Trump administration officials view the order in the high court's consideration of the case as a Key component of his hardline immigration agenda, an issue that has become a defining feature of his second White House term.
Opponents of this argue the effort is unconstitutional and unprecedented.
It could impact an estimated 150,000 children born in the U.S. annually to non citizens.
Yeah, so this is going to be an issue because you're looking at the 14th Amendment in question here.
I want to read a little bit of the 14th Amendment for you guys because I had to go and refresh my memory because they all get blurred sometimes.
So the 14th Amendment says no state.
Shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Now, Again, this is the problem with the Constitution.
It is open for interpretation depending on who's interpreting it.
And that creates a thing where we can have the debate on legal immigration, but people coming here legally are generally trying to assimilate to the American way of life, to the American protocol and program.
But if you're just someone that comes over here and you get Flown out by the Biden administration.
They give you a hotel room.
They give you a credit card.
And they say, look, we don't care about you learning English.
We don't care about you becoming an American citizen.
We don't care about any of that.
Even if you wanted that, just have all the free money, go out on the street and start selling street food.
And the last thing I'll say, if we want to take a more left-leaning position, and I look at these things specifically, is our immigration system and the processing system for people to come in here for asylum, which there are legitimate cases where you're like running from the cartel and they're trying to kill you and your whole family.
Makes sense if you might want to try to come to the United States, but it's hard for them to go through it through a regular process because the courts are so backed up and they don't have a real process to actually get those people in.
So people are like, well, I'll just skip the line and I'll just come in here.
No, no, no.
You need to wait your turn in line.
Come in here properly, but then we also need to make sure we have the systems in place and focus the energy on making it better.
I support extreme immigration restriction and potentially a moratorium, probably a moratorium if I got my way, just because of how we've been used kind of as an open invitation and open invite to the world for so long.
Here's the thing the United States legally takes in between one and two million immigrants a year, the most out of any country or up there, I believe.
So the thing, the idea of America being like the fascist neo Nazi state where it's the We don't want the immigrants here.
We don't want, we've taken millions and millions for years and years.
Shelby Kittleson, a contributor to All Monitor, was contacted by U.S. officials multiple times with warnings about threats against her.
Pray for her safety.
Not trying to make light of anything.
Sorry.
Bit pig headed of me to do that.
As late as last night, a U.S. official told News Nation, Al Monitor is a Washington, D.C. based media organization offering reporting and analysis from the Middle East.
Here's the quotation We are deeply alarmed by the kidnapping of Al Monitor contributor Shelby Kittleson to Iraq on Tuesday.
We call for her safe and immediate release, the outlet said in a statement.
We stand by her vital reporting from the region and call for her swift return to continue her important work.
Alex Putsis, a non resident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council and former Pentagon official, Confirm the abduction.
Okay, so this is confirmed on social platform X, adding that he is killed since designated US point of contact.
Damn.
She is the sweetest person in the world.
She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
Blitz has said in a text to News Nation affiliate The Hill, adding that she's an American citizen who has worked in Iraq for years and also reported from Syria.
Very, very tragic.
We hope that she is back home free, safe soon.
Absolutely horrible.
Another, hopefully not casualty of this regional conflict.
For it, a current U.S. official blamed Khatib Hezbollah, an Iranian backed military group with ties to the RGC, for her disappearance.
Plexus also suggested on social media that Kittleson might have been taken by Hezbollah.
I said, read that again.
The group is reported to be financed in part by the Iraqi government.
Two cars, let's see if we can get this up, reportedly involved in the kidnapping, one of which crashed, overhead shot or article, please, in the town of Al Hasba while fleeing authorities.
The Associated Press reported, look at that damage, dude.
He got shredded.
One suspect was apprehended, but their identity has not been shared, the ministry said.
And these are two damaged vehicles potentially involved in the kidnapping.
So, the new F 16s and the new planes that are flying over there, I was surprised that France and Spain did that, where they said, You're not allowed to come through our airspace.
Well, I mean, the cracks are really starting to show.
And you think about Europe as just the biggest lapdog vassals for the American empire.
And granted, Italy and Spain, they're a little bit more on the fringes, a little bit more nationalist than, say, like, UK, France, Germany, like countries like that.
Like, here's Starmer is our punk B word.
And we literally, we do whatever we want.
That's where we're sending bombers in and out of there right now.
And they're like, we're not involved.
We're not involved.
They're like, yes, you're directly involved.
But these other nations, they have more of a spine because the emperor has no clothes.
And we'll go back to the original point is you look at when we have the UN and the speeches that go on there, and you see Trump, and he's like, You all suck.
Trump claimed NATO, quote unquote, wasn't there for the U.S. when Washington rallied behind its European allies in the face of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
We've been there automatically, including Ukraine.
Ukraine wasn't our problem, he said.
It was a test, and we were there for them.
We've always been there for them.
They weren't there for us.
Trump's skepticism of the alliance has been well documented with dates back before his 2016 election win.
He has previously described the alliance as obsolete and told the Washington Post in 2016 that NATO was costing us a fortune.
Now, You know, the NATO thing has been something that Trump has been pushing for a while.
Right.
I give credit where credit's due.
The other European countries were not paying their fair share.
We were being the bodyguard for every single other European nation.
Now you look at the situation now, you know, you can't just bring everybody into a war and then cry when it's not going your way and just say, Help me.
You can't declare victory in the war and at the same time say it's not a war by calling it a little excursion or a detour and say that Americans should be happy because it keeps us safe.
But, like, yes, I mean, you're doing the backhand thing and you're telling people one thing and then you're actually slapping them and punishing them for another thing.
All they have to do is wait for us to, you know, tire ourselves out.
But we'll go to the clip.
Excellent point.
unidentified
On Russian oil, which tells us how desperate the situation actually is getting.
And of course, China has the payment rails.
Now, what's interesting is that the yuan is not actually freely traded.
Like, you can't just go buy it on an exchange right now, like dollars or euros.
The only practical way to get yuan is to sell something China wants.
And historically, what China's always been willing to accept is gold.
So the actual transaction looks something like this you sell your dollars, you buy your gold, you sell that gold to China in exchange for yuan, you take that yuan to Iran, and then you buy the oil, and your ship gets home safely.
So China now gets to sort of be right in the middle of this transaction.
It gets to decide the exchange rate.
Between gold and oil, which means China's deciding what the dollar is worth relative to everything else.
When you look at how China's positioning itself, it knows that getting into military conflicts and trying to bully everybody around openly does not work.
They're like, let's do something different while America degrades itself, rips its own limbs apart.
Let's go ahead and position ourselves to where everybody realizes, hey, come over here.
It's safe with China.
You can trade with us.
But then the gold is the main thing.
Gold is a commodity that everybody in the world values.
There's going to be a point at which the American dollar, this fiat currency, is no longer going to be trusted.
And the whole point of fiat currency is it's backed by the faith.
At the root of what all of this is, is it's an attempt to distract us.
Like all these crazy stories we get every day, all the constant BS and clips, it's a, I can't use the word, it's a crap screen to just get us blinded to the reality that's taking place around us.
Because if you've been paying attention, if you've been watching what's going on, we're being ushered out.
We're being replaced.
The Chinese are coming to eat our lunch and they're copying our homework to do it.
And I know Simon kind of had a more complex theory where he was talking about the financial industrial complex and And all the things that they're moving around and positioning where there's those people that are controlling scenes.
But it's very hard to tell at this point who's actually pulling the strings and what the implications are five, 10 years from now.
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.
These vaccines are not vaccines, they are, in fact, gene therapy based.
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 misleading.
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 COVID 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 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.

Yeah, I was off their charts, 1,498.
Yeah, the chart didn't go that high.
Something else.
That was December 31st.
I took my first.
Course of ivermectin on my birthday, February 2nd.
Yeah, deep dive is my favorite part of the segment personally because this is the time period where I get to show you guys the research that I've done.
And that was the fact that the American economy is hey, even if you have a factory job, whatever, especially if you do, you're going to be able to, based on your income, afford a place to live.
Remember, like everyone, I was always wondering why 30 was the marker for us specifically, because as the American person or a young person, we're told that like 30 is when you want to start thinking about kids, you want to start thinking about having a house, those types of things.
But now we're not able to do that.
And so this is needing, this leads to people needing more time to save.
They need more income and now they need more help from family.
And you're seeing an increase in people.
Being dependent on family in order to help them buy this.
Harrison threw this up and he threw up this image of the real stock market, not asking the crew to be wizards or find it or anything, but he shows it's the number of people that are 30, married, and have their own house.
And I'm sure a lot of you guys back at home experienced that as well, where your employer, rather than paying you to retain you, is like, okay, well, let's just give him a 2% and hope that he stays.
So let's go ahead and pull up that graph again because we can look at the split here.
So, like we're saying, look at the beginning of this.
You're looking at the 1950s through the 1960s, and then you have that split that happens during the 80s.
And you just see the trajectory.
Those are prediction graphs.
This is going to continue, and this is what even a K shaped economy looks like.
So, you're looking at this chart here, and we're like, what happened in the 80s?
Remember, I talked about this yesterday 80s was Reaganomics.
That is exactly when the inflection.
And all of the corporations and all the businesses decided, hey, let's stop paying the employer that's helping us produce actual productivity and increase the productivity.
Let's just go back and invest it into the company.
Now, we also need to talk about the houses themselves because not all houses are created equal.
And you got to look at the average house, what it looked like during the 50s versus now.
And it's dramatically different.
So, houses never just got, the houses didn't just get more.
Like we're entitled as American citizens to be able to live in our own country, to be able to afford to raise a family in your own country, to be able to come home from work every day and have it not be a George Soros coffin apartment.
Everyone else up until the era of the boomer and maybe the Gen X, it got better.
It got better.
It got better.
We are the first generation that's looking at living less long, it's looking at owning less property, having a lower standing of liver, lower standing of liver, lower standard of living.
So that is a clear distinction why you're not gonna see a house cost the same.
It's not all of them.
I'm just giving you one angle to understand.
And then when the standard for people is it needs to have central cooling, that also means there's a cost that's associated with that.
Like central cooling unit costs like $15,000 alone, especially some of these newer models.
So then, All of that, when a construction worker or a contractor goes to build a house, they have to take all of that into account okay, people are expecting modern amenities, they're expecting these things.
We have to bake that into the price of the new home.
That way, we can actually make money because no one wants to go into this.
We got a ton of these places now around the country that are hyper regulated to where, like, there's another additional, like in California, I assume there's another six figures minimum if you want to build anything.
Most people don't want to live in the middle of Kansas where there's not as much going on versus one of these bigger metroplexes like a Dallas or an Austin or a Nashville.
It's just like we see the egg price people, even though they got a consistent supply and they could make the right amount of cash and help people, it's not about helping people.
Right now, in terms of home prices, zoning, and the worst housing shortage from the entire United States, let's talk about California.
See, in many large California cities, a lot of the zoning requirement is dictated by parking.
So if you want to go and build a brand new 600 square foot unit, you also have to supply an additional 300 square feet for that resident to park their car.
If they wind up building that parking on ground level, that takes away from the space that they could be using just to build another unit.
But if they go below ground, That costs a lot of money.
So, either way, that needs to be figured into the cost of the overall unit and eventually the price that you pay.
This also isn't including all the other requirements like a minimum lot size, a minimum amount of open planted space, or a minimum amount of common space.
And all of a sudden, building a 600 square foot apartment is now costing you the equivalent of building 1,100 square feet with everything else that you have to add on to it.
And of course, they have to charge, like You're buying or renting 1,100 square feet.
You also have this completely backwards permit system that creates indefinite delays.
Where to run plumbing, you have to get a permit for that.
But before you could get that permit, you have to go to a different department to get a permit to dig a trench.
But to get that permit, you have to go to a different department to be able to start the work after an environmental review.
Oh, and you also risk getting denied for a permit at every single step, at which point you have to resubmit and start over again from the back of the line.
Even for me, I spent over $200,000 building out a 720 square foot unit.
I paid over $10,000 in city fees and permit filings.
But then they charged me another $20,000 to fix a sewer line, which required me to go and get a permit from Urban Forestry to trim the city owned tree roots.
But the tree turned out to be diseased, so I had to get another permit to be able to remove the tree and another permit to be able to replace that tree with another tree.
You can't even make this up.
Getting these permits, by the way, could take hours.
Days, weeks, months, you have no idea.
They could be denied at any point where you have to start the process over again.
And then we're paying for that on the final price tag.
And that's also why you're seeing prices because houses get a comparison.
A house that's built in a neighborhood gets priced comparatively to the houses in the surrounding.
So if all those houses are being improved or they're brand new, that means your house also has to be starting to get raised higher and higher and higher.
You can't just have one house that's in the neighborhood that's a million dollars and then everything else is a hundred thousand.
And Trump comes out and says, well, it's good that house prices are up because my constituents, the older people, they're happy about the value of their property.
All these things are all these factors are stacking on top of each other, contributing to why housing prices have continued to increase.
We're seeing the picture.
Now, another thing that we need to look at is the interest rates, especially what happened during COVID.
Okay, so let's pull up the interest rates here.
Oh, here's what we got here.
So, COVID didn't create the housing prices, but it did make everything worse.
If you look at it, we have these things called the golden handcuffs, is what I call these and what the industry is calling them.
It's basically showing you on this chart that only 20% of people have over a 6% rate.
A majority of people actually have a rate that they locked in during that 2021 to 2022 period where they have under a 3% to 4% rate.
And then all of that combined together, you're looking at a majority, over 80%, have about under that 5% to 6% range.
That creates a lock in effect in which people don't want to leave a house to go and get a new house at a 7% rate, which they are going back up by the way.
So now that everybody's locked into place and the rates are super high, they're not coming down, and over half of the population of homeowners are actually below 4%, it means that they're not giving up.
So who's actually to blame?
And this is usually where the story goes wrong.
And this is something that I also felt privy to.
And you probably heard this narrative.
You were like, Wall Street buying up all the homes, private equities buying up all the homes, Blackstone, institutional investors, everything, right?
Now, as I was almost hesitant to cover this because I'm like, people are going to think I'm an agent being implanted for these corporations to tell you to back BlackRock.
Fact check Do private equity firms own 20% of single family homes?
No.
Large institutional investors, defined as those owning over 100 homes, which includes private equity firms, own 3% of the single family rental stock nationwide, according to bookings.
The share is higher in some local markets in the 20 metropolitan statistical areas where these investors are most present.
They own 12.4%.
They still own far less than 20% nationwide.
The Urban Institute similarly finds they own just 3.8%.
So, for breaking this down, the institutional buyers, the ones that we're talking about BlackRock, Vanguard, all of those, State Street, they're only buying less than 2% or less than 3% of the actual homes, which means they aren't statistically significant to be actually moving the market.
And then we've got institutional investors at about 3%, and you've got smaller national investors at about 3%.
So the 80% is the thing to be focusing on here because now we have to understand of that.
Let's pull up number 11, the percent of homes.
Owned because I want to compare the investors to people who are actually living within the house and are not considered investors, people who are just like you at home who have a house, maybe you don't have a house, but the average American.
And we can compare the two, sure, and just see how much.
So, investors are only owning about 20% of all US homes.
This is the key distinction that means 80% are people who are actually inhabiting the house and living out of it in the typical American dream, as you would call it.
And you go, yes, lowest common denominator, Occam's razor, simplest explanation is usually correct.
Sounds like they jacked up the housing market, but you look at it more as a systemic problem that's been impacted by inflation, the various crises that we've had, and ultimately the over regulation that's designed to force people out of business.
I mean, take it for an example, the retail sector.
I mean, you look at Target, you look at places like Nordstrom.
I mean, during the slush fund period of 2021 to 2023, they had at the end of it, when things started to fall off, I believe like $5 billion in inventory that they just couldn't move because they had bought so much.
Price of a typical home divided by a typical household's yearly income.
In a healthy market, that number sits around three.
But this year, something unprecedented happened.
For the first time in the report's 21 year history, not a single market was considered affordable.
While conditions vary, most of the 95 cities now fall into the seriously or severely unaffordable categories, meaning a typical home costs more than four to five times what a typical household earns.
And in 12 of them, things have gotten so bad they added a new label.
Impossibly unaffordable, where the median home costs more than nine times the median income.
At the top of this list is Hong Kong at 14.4 times income, and Sydney isn't far behind at 13.8.
Then come San Jose, Vancouver, and Los Angeles.
And once you start looking beyond those cities, you realise the same pattern repeats across entire countries.
Homes in Australia's average city are now near 10 times median income.
Even smaller markets like Perth or Brisbane are now less affordable than New York.
In Canada, affordability has been collapsing since the mid 2000s.
Vancouver has ranked amongst the fourth least affordable cities on earth for 18 years straight, and Toronto isn't far behind.
Greater London homes now sit at nine times median income, while the UK average has crept to 5.6, which is roughly double what it was in the 1990s.
Okay, so, you know, it's very easy to get black pilled about these things.
This is also a solution based show where we try to think about what other countries are doing as well as America to combat these because people are starting to wake up and realize that these Are issues and housing affordability is a number one or two issue for a lot of people, right?
So let's go ahead and play number 13 and look at some of the global solutions, things that people are doing specifically to combat this.
unidentified
Stop this.
Some countries are starting to try.
New Zealand launched a plan called Going for Housing Growth in 2023, which forces major city councils to zone enough land for 30 years of housing demand.
Their goal is simple make land supply predictable so prices can't spiral out of control.
In the US, cities like Minneapolis and states like California have begun loosening single family zoning.
That means duplexes and small apartment blocks can be built in neighbourhoods that once allowed only one house per lot.
This opens up supply where people actually want to live.
Singapore is taking a completely different approach.
There, nearly 90% of households own their homes, thanks to a massive public housing programme managed by the Housing and Development Board.
The government buys land, builds at scale, and sells apartments directly to citizens at subsidised prices.
So, yes, this shows that if you treat housing as infrastructure, like roads or schools, You can achieve near universal ownership.
Then there are countries tackling speculation instead of supply.
Hong Kong and Wales both tax second homes heavily.
In Wales, local councils can charge up to 300% council tax premium.
Taiwan taxes properties sold within two years at up to 45%, discouraging fast flips and speculative buying.
And in the Netherlands, some municipalities have banned investors from buying in certain neighbourhoods to keep homes for locals.
The US is now exploring a similar idea with the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act.
This act would stop hedge funds and other big real estate firms from owning single family homes altogether.
So, yes, to fix this crisis, we need more homes, but we also need to rethink who's buying them, where they're built, and what kind of economy they're fueling.
Because, at its core, it's the same old story a tidal wave of money flowing into a handful of assets and drowning the middle and low income classes in the process.
And unless that imbalance changes, no amount of zoning reform or new construction will make homes truly affordable.
You say it's a key thing for the show for us to do the deep dive.
I think it's a key thing for everybody to do this type of thing, you know.
And like what we want to do, what you do such a good job of, Tim, is disseminating the information for people so that we can actually become enlightened and aware on these topics.
And even if you go, hey, I understand the housing market.
Hey, I understand the oil market.
Hey, I understand World War II.
I understand Vietnam.
There's always something worth finding if you're going to take a second or a third or a fourth look.
And we forget things over time.
So, what we do, hopefully, Is generate a spark that lights a fire in you for more information.
We hope you seek that out and compare and contrast our notes to yours.
You guys can fact check me on everything that I covered today.
I am completely open.
And if I'm wrong about something, DM me, you said, I'll correct myself.
You know, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong, but I feel like I did a good job of focusing on the information, distilling it down, because I do spend a lot of time doing this research.
This is the key, and this is what's so amazing about.
Being able to do the show with you guys, me and Tim here in studio, we do gray area Thursday, Sunday, but we're here five days a week, basically doing the morning show now on the American Journal while it's around.
The thing that's so amazing for us is this is a learning experience, right?
We're getting better at finding things, we're getting better at presenting them, we're getting better at connecting with you.
And that's ultimately what it's all about.
So if you're happy with this, I really highly encourage you to go to therealalexjonesstore.com.
That's therealalexjonesstore.com or thealexjonesstore.com.

Rex Jones, Tim Tompkins, American Journal.
He's got an Israeli American flag pin, okay?
He doesn't have the American flag.
He's not representing and backing America.
He's representing and backing the American Israeli Empire Alliance regime, whatever you want to call it.
But that one place in the region, even though all those other nations are allies and give us money, give us bribes, whatever, that one other nation, Israel, they wear the flag like it's the state that they're from.
Now, I don't agree with every single thing that comes out where people are criticizing certain aspects about all like Jewish people and they're throwing everything under an umbrella.
But we can be critical of people like Netanyahu, who have clearly an aggressive nature and a tone towards dictating how that region should be run.
Here's what's so evil about Zionism Zionism attempts to attach a political ideology onto an ethnicity, onto an entire group of people.
We've got plenty of Jewish people that don't agree with what's being done by the state of Israel right now and the various genocides and wars that it started or engaged in, right?
But they want to make that the definition.
They want to make the IAEA definition of anti Semitism.
The law of the land.
It got struck down by Rand Paul, thank God, but it's true.
They literally say you cannot criticize the state of Israel because to do that is to be against the Jewish people.
Well, hey, I'm sorry.
I thought these were countries, okay?
I thought these were countries with laws and rules.
I thought we were allowed to criticize them, criticize China, criticize Russia.
It is a lazy excuse to say, well, it's anti Semitic.
Just the same way, like, I would criticize somebody, like, I criticize some of my own people and some black people who are like, well, that's just racist.
I'm like, no, no, you can call out a specific group if they're doing something wrong is wrong.
You don't get to hide under this veil of being a minority in some sort.
Like the Israelis and the Jewish people are a minority in certain aspects, but that doesn't give you plausible deniability to say, well, everything is anti Semitic and you're being racist about this thing.
But the thing that I'm looking at these situations and I'm like, okay, well, at what point do we address the elephant in the room and separate ourselves to where?
You know, the founding fathers had a true Let me gather my thoughts here.
The founding fathers had a clear roadmap and they talked specifically about separation of church and state for a particular reason because religion and ideologies are tricky.
Crusader style wars is exactly the point that I'm getting at because religion, and people can criticize me for this, is the best and worst thing to happen in humanity.
Okay.
And I'll give you the explanation why.
Okay, bear with me for a second here.
Religion is one of those things that you get spirituality, and it is super important for people to believe in something, especially Christians.
You're supposed to gather under the faith of the Lord, be a good Christian.
There are good values that are in there.
The problem is, is when you have bad actors that use the religious ideology to push an agenda that is not within the actual context of what is being the spoken word.
I mean, the Pope came out and said, you know, God doesn't answer the prayers of people that have blood on their hands, right?
Presidents and all these people, Netanyahu, prime ministers, constantly invoking God.
It's the holy mission.
You know what the holy mission is?
It's like a bloated corpse of a kid that's being eaten by maggots on the side of the street.
That's what war is, okay?
You're not a Navy SEAL.
You're not a veteran.
You can't talk about war.
We've all seen the photos, okay?
We've all seen the footage.
We all know what war is.
War is murder and death, and there's never a religious justification for it.
In the modern world, that's what we stand against 100%.
I want to go ahead and play this to close it out.
Let's play clip number eight.
All right, this is an American soldier a decade ago, a decade plus ago, I believe 12 to 13 years ago, 2012, talking about the wars and why they're fought, and look at when they pull them off the air.
unidentified
And we have here somebody who actually did just go vote for Ron Paul, a first time caucus voter, Corporal Jesse Thorson, who is 28 years old, and you are active duty U.S. Army.
Why did you vote for Ron Paul?
Well, I'm really excited about a lot of his ideas, especially when it comes to bringing the soldiers home.
I've been serving for 10 years now, and all 10 years of those have been during wartime.
I'd like to see a little peacetime army, and I think he has the right idea.
Now, you have done two tours in Afghanistan.
You told me you're going to go back for a third tour.
I mean, if you can see your neck right there, what you have on your tattoo, 9-11, remember, and the picture of the Twin Towers, you know, some Republicans out there have been saying that Ron Paul would be very dangerous for this country because he wants to bring troops like you back from your post from all over the world.
Well, I think it would be even more dangerous to start nitpicking wars with other countries.
Someone like Iran.
Israel is more than capable.
Ooh, dangerous.
Sorry, we just lost our connection, unfortunately.
He didn't even say anything crazy, saying, hey, let them fight their own battles.
If they want to go to war, let them fight their own wars.
And what we're finding out in Lebanon with the 12 tanks destroyed and the tons of Israeli soldiers, IDF soldiers killed, you have the fathers, the mothers showing up to the Knesset saying, hey, I wanted my kid to come home.
That way, they know what it feels like to be one of our soldiers and what it feels like to be this guy who went through two tours and is like, I would like to see a little bit of peace because those people live in very hard conditions and are under extreme amount of stress.
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.
BB Netanyahu, according to people like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Megyn 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 the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this earth was in June in.
In the West Wing, in the stairway, and I said hi to him, and he looked me in the eye and he said very loudly, and it's a small, you've been in the West Wing, it's small, it's a tight space, and he said, Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran, very loudly.
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.
Iran's been a threat for 47 years, and there's not a country in the world that doesn't agree with me on that.
So I take this guy, Joe.
Kent, who lost twice for Congress pretty badly and tough, and it was devastated.
I know that he lost his wife, so instead of letting him live out his life, I brilliantly have my people call him and offer him a job in security, essentially, in the White House.
And what does he do?
He goes out and he says that Iran is not a threat to get publicity.
And we were like, all right, we need to make this happen.
So I'm glad we could.
Suleiman, let's just talk a little bit about your background because not a lot of people know you on the InfoWars, and a lot of people want to know what got you into all these things.
things, what's your background, just a high-level overview so that people understand.
So, my background is I've got obviously a degree in law and then a conversion into mathematics, became a mathematics teacher.
And then I've got an MA in philosophy.
And then I was doing my PhD in philosophy when I became quite viral on X. Right.
And the thing with becoming viral on X is it becomes very difficult to finish anything related to academia because you get a lot of complaints.
And so I thought, look, what's the best thing to do is just pause that, make sure that I'm, you know, Continue my career in terms of from the media perspective, the journalistic perspective, and then I can go back and complete my PhD.
But yeah, that's currently my academic background in terms of obviously I've studied as well in a like a religious setting as well.
So I have a decent background of the understanding of Islamic religion, whether it's legalistic theory or theology and philosophy.
So that's kind of my background.
Obviously, I'm from a socially deprived area.
So I've done a bit of everything when it comes to before social media and before my kind of academic career.
Well, a huge amount of things are happening in the Gulf.
Let's just, we can deal with each thing at a time.
So, the first thing is obviously Iran has been hitting the Gulf quite hard.
Initially, they were hitting the US embassies and the military bases.
And the reason was because those countries were colluding with the United States of America and Israel to destroy Iran.
They tried to make it look like they weren't involved, but we know that they were indeed involved.
They were allowing these countries to use their air base.
We know now that they were, without a doubt, allowing them to use their Military bases.
In addition to that, they were giving them key intel.
And that's one aspect of what they were doing.
In addition to that, and separate to that, what we know is that there's highly likely going to be, and I'm sure we're going to cover this in detail, a ground invasion into Iran.
And these countries are complicit in the ground invasion.
If you look at where the ground invasion is, and I'm sure we're going to go into detail into that, but depending on what the locale of the ground invasion is, the stationing area could be UAE.
Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.
So these countries are complicit.
They have been helping the United States of America and Israel bomb Iran and they need to be held accountable.
And so when I see these countries being hit by missiles and drones, I'll be honest with you, it gives me great pleasure, not only because of their complicity in that, but as you guys know, when it comes to the UAE, I view them as Muslim Zionists and they have been helping not only the United States of America and Israel.
But if you look at what they've done in the Sudan, if you look at what they've done in Yemen, if you look at what they've done in terms of perpetuating hatred against Muslims in Europe and in the West, generally speaking, if you look at their treatment of the underclass, I just see them as almost the sister to Islam.
And one can only surmise that, yeah, I agree with you.
There's going to be a bloodbath.
The question mark becomes what are they going to do and what the aims are going to be?
So, I mean, look, there are a few possibilities on what they can try and take.
They can either try and take Karg Island.
That's one possibility.
The other possibility is they could take the three smaller islands, which UAE lays claim to, which is Abu Musa, the greater tomb, and the smaller tomb, the lesser tomb.
That's one option.
The other option is, so those are the two options.
The other option is, oh, sorry, the third option is they could take the three Hermuz Islands, which is Hermuz, Lavarak, and the third island, Akesem, I believe it is.
So they could take one of the three Hermuz Islands.
Or the other possibility is, and I'm starting to think that this is slightly going to become more and more of a possibility, is a ground invasion into Iran as well.
I have been thinking about this a lot, and I am moving more towards that position that actually, this is maybe doing this may be done intentionally in order to sacrifice American lives in order to then galvanize the American public.
You know, you can show these American soldiers in caskets, yes, their families grieving, and then you can basically manufacture consent into a ground invasion.
That's a possibility, or the other possibility is this is all a bait and switch, and actually, they're going to do the ground invasion immediately through.
I've got some ideas about where they're going to try and do that, but yeah, I do believe that both of those things are possible.
It's either going to be an operation into one of those islands, you have a large massacre of people, and then you manufacture consent for ground invasion, or it's already going to be, and actually, all of this is a bait and switch, and they're going to do the ground invasion straight away.
Okay, so my sources on the ground tell me, obviously, it's exclusive that I haven't told my audiences, but my sources on the ground tell me that actually, if the United States of America does boots on the ground, they will shut the Red Sea.
Well, and here's the thing I think everybody around the world is looking at this and is like, okay, we're getting two different stories about whether there's going to be a peace deal, there's not going to be a peace deal.
You and I talked about it on your spaces, Suleiman.
I thought the 15 point peace plan was very generous for the things that they were offering or Trump was offering.
And a couple of the points I didn't quite agree with Iran getting, you know, extra capacity to control the straight and having all the US military withdrawn.
So, is there a way for them to come in the middle, or is it just like we're past the point?
What's happening is you've got Pakistan, Turkey, and I believe Egypt, who are almost acting as conduits.
So, what they're doing is taking the American information and passing it on to the Iranians.
The Iranians are very clear.
They do not want an agreement.
They do not agree with those demands, even though, as per what you just said, those 15 demands are very much Iran friendly.
If you remember, before this war, one day before this war, Iran agreed to 0% enrichment.
This was confirmed by the Omani mediators.
This Agreement allows for up to 60% enrichment as long as it's used for civilian purposes and defense purposes.
So, this is a very much friendly Iran friendly deal.
It's also something that Iran would be amenable to.
There is a couple of things in there that I think that they would need to add, such as possibly they're saying reparations, but largely the rest of it is very amenable to Iran.
And what it shows is what we've been saying that Iran is winning this war.
No way would America have given this.
15 point plan, which is so Iran friendly if they weren't losing the war.
The problem you have is, Which Trump said yesterday, the Americans and the Israelis will just be back again a year or two in a year or two time.
And right now, you've got them exactly where you want them.
They've made so many errors in this war that they've got themselves in a situation where they're very weak when it comes to Iran.
Next time, Iran may not be as lucky because America, as I know the Israelis always make this mistake, they'll make the same mistake all the time.
But the American military is actually very proficient, they won't make the same mistakes again.
And so the issue is, Trump said yesterday, he said, Well, when we're gonna finish this, we're gonna leave this war, and then another president may come and try and bomb Iran for their nuclear facilities.
So, what they're saying is, I'm gonna leave this job undone, and then someone else is gonna come and bomb.
And this is the biggest problem Iran has.
This is why Iran should never agree to a deal.
And actually, I say worse than that, Iran has been way too soft.
Iran, in my view, needs to go harder against the Gulf countries.
In my view, they need to give them three days' notice and say, You need to basically remove all American military bases, you need to make sure America is not involved in your country.
If you don't, in three days, we're gonna destroy your entire infrastructure.
Your desalination plants, and you'd give that warning to the UAE first.
And if, and I believe that they'll bend the knee, but if they don't, you take out them and then you do to each one of the Gulf countries one at a time.
I believe that Iran, in my view, has been a bit too soft in this war.
They've done really well, but I think that you need to be cutthroat.
We look at something else that's gone on, and it's been very interesting to me to see the mad dash, not just of Trump, because everything Trump does has to be done now.
We declare victory now.
The war is over now.
I've already won.
But we look at Netanyahu, okay?
And you can say America's involved in this war, heavily involved in this conflict.
It's a big drain on us.
Israel is literally right there.
Okay, so they're not thousands of miles away.
They're right there.
And while all this is going on, while their cities are being bombed, while they're in conflict in this war with Iran, involved with us, they're invading Lebanon.
They've displaced a million plus people.
There are buildings exploding everywhere.
There's rubble everywhere.
I believe they've lost 12 tanks fighting against Hezbollah.
First off, how do you view the ever expansive nature of this war?
As in, like, how many more of these regions will it just swallow up?
Will it expand to places like Syria and Lebanon?
As it already has.
And do you think that they have any control over that or where it goes?
Yeah, I mean, I'm a big believer that this is part of Israel's expansionist agenda.
They want to expand throughout the region.
They want to take control of the entire region.
But in terms of what you mentioned, in terms of Lebanon, they are losing really badly.
And this is what we predicted before this war.
We predicted this in 2006.
We predicted this in 2024.
We predicted this now.
There was no way they could defeat Hezbollah.
Hezbollah knows the terrain really well, they know the landscape really well.
They've hit over 130 Merkava tanks.
I believe they've taken out more than 80 Merkava tanks.
And one of the days, they even took out almost 20.
So, they are struggling really badly.
They've had a huge loss of life.
They've not been able to penetrate in any areas.
So, what they did yesterday was, which is what you're showing right now, which is yesterday they start bombing specifically those areas in South Lebanon because they've not been able to succeed in the ground invasion.
What do they go back to?
They go back to just bombing from the air, hoping that this causes dispersion of the troops.
But that won't do it because actually, what they've not learned again from previous wars, and this is because of the part of the military analysis, is Israel's continue to always bomb areas before they go in.
But what happens when you bomb areas?
It causes a huge amount of rubble.
When you basically cause a lot of rubble, your tanks can't get through.
And then you require bulldozers to go in to remove and disperse the rubble.
And that just means more tanks are going to be taken out.
But worse than that, the US military did an analysis of the 2006 war, and the US military literally said to them, look, these are the mistakes you're making.
You're bombing areas and then trying to bring tanks in, and then that's how Hezbollah is able to take you out.
They never learned in the 2024 war.
They got destroyed.
They had to go back and they're doing the exact same thing, the exact same mistake again.
So it's not only a lack of military capability in terms of the soldiers, but it's a lack of military understanding and nuance, arrogance, and not even looking at the analysis that's even given to them by their US partners.
So one thing that I want to touch upon, because you were talking about it just before we talked about Lebanon, was about Iran taking a harder stance and going harder in terms of like the demands.
So I had the same view as you, I'd say, up until a few days ago, because I've been really thinking and reflecting on this.
And the way Iran has conducted the war is exactly the same manner I would conduct the war.
The problem is, I think about it and I think, would I be the best leader in this wartime situation?
And I think not because I'm too soft.
You need someone who's cutthroat, you need someone who's brutal.
When it comes to the GCC countries, they don't have, they can't do anything more than they're already doing.
They don't have the military capability.
They don't have the, Military personnel, who are they going to get to fight for them?
Some Pakistanis, like nobody's going to fight for them.
They can't do any more than they're already doing.
This needs to be a warning to them to say, look, you need to stop or your country will be obliterated.
In terms of, and it needs to be a demand, in terms of the American military base has been removed from the country, I'm in agreement with you.
I actually hold this position, which is as much as many people within the resistance want that, I can't see a scenario where that would ever happen because these Gulf states are so underneath the shoes of the United States of America and Israel.
They would never ever want the US to be removed.
They live in fear.
They don't have the social and the psychological ability to think that they can fend for themselves.
They're always relying on that, never mind the fact that the US and Mossad are intrinsically linked within the entire apparatus of those countries.
Those kings, those rulers, MBS, MBZ, know that if they were to ever get out of line, the United States of America and Israel would assassinate them and replace them immediately.
So I agree with you.
I don't think the bases will be removed.
I'm saying if I was Iran, I would not be conducting the manner in which they do.
What they're doing right now is they'll bomb Iran's energy infrastructure.
They'll find one or two countries and then they'll hit them or three countries.
Well, so I'm going to ask the question in just a second.
I just want to address the last thing that we're talking about public sentiment.
You know, Israel and America would love for there to be a scenario that plays out where, you know, Iran backed itself into a corner to where it destabilizes its own country.
Like I was saying, if.
You know, let's say Iran does take action against the salinization plants and oil infrastructure.
The Saudis and the Americans and the Israelis are going to go and attack that exact same civilian infrastructure.
And then that's a perfect opportunity for there to be regime change.
And that kind of becomes the self fulfilling prophecy of what they want.
So it's a little bit of a tricky situation.
I get it.
And I see your perspective.
I agree with certain points.
And there's some other things that I'm like, ah, maybe there is a better solution.
So there's a few ways of disseminating information.
Obviously, first of all, being in a large number of telegram groups.
The second thing is, I've been doing this for a while.
So I do have sources on the ground, whether it's in Lebanon, whether it's in Iran, whether it's in Yemen, whether it's in actually the United States of America.
And so we have built this kind of network of people who are able to give us this information before it happens.
So, for example, I knew this war was going to happen before it happened.
I knew about the 12 day war the day before.
This kind of, and although I was told about it, I was not too sure at that time, but in the end, that source ended up being right.
So it's just, as you know, doing this for a long time, you end up building your sources.
And so you're aware of the information.
There's a lot of people on the ground who then disseminate the information.
Also in the Gulf as well, I have a number of sources.
So we're quite blessed in that regard that over time, we've been given a lot of responsibility and trust, and we're able to do that.
And in terms of your other point, in terms of regime change, I think the opposite.
I think if Iran shows right now, the entirety of Iran is united.
With Iran.
And the reason is because they see this as an existential threat.
They see this as foreign invaders trying to destroy their own country.
And then you saw what happened with those schoolgirls.
I think if Iran shows weakness, if Iran doesn't go harder, I think the opposite may occur.
That's when there is a chance that there could be a loss of trust, where they think that, look, you've taken those into this war and yet you're not winning this war.
That's when there is a possibility that there could be.
Everyone wants to talk about the Holocaust all the time.
Holocaust means death by fire.
That's what we did to those little girls and their teachers.
It was a sickening double tap terrorist attack where after the initial strike, after they're gathering in the safe room, holding each other, hugging each other, the second tomahawk comes in.
What does our president say?
What does the imperial leader say?
Well, It was them.
It was them.
Other nations have tomahawks.
You got a newsflash.
As a fee of war.
Japan, France, Germany, the UK, the only other nations that have tomahawks.
We did it clearly.
Our government lied about it.
And here's the thing if you're listening to us right now, we're breaking down what's happening.
You're like, I disagree.
I still trust Trump.
I think he's got goodwill.
He doesn't want people to die.
That's been proven to be false on the first day of the war.
This is evil.
We aid in the bet and genocide and all these horrible conflicts.
It just has to stop now.
And I think even if we're on different ideological lines, even if we believe in different Belief systems, all these things.
We got to realize that we're all humans.
We live on this planet together.
We're all created by God.
We have to honor each other.
People aren't disposable units to be burned and thrown away in some sort of conflict for greater war or energy or power resources.
Suleiman, I've developed these opinions over the years, really based off of the Ukraine war and watching what's been going on there.
And I've been getting phenomenal coverage from people like you, but also people like Dialogue Works, like Nima, also people like Judge Napolitano and Glenn Deeson.
I got to say, just a A little bit of a selfish ask here for Gray Area for American Journal.
We really want to talk to Larry Johnson or Lawrence Wilkerson.
We love those dudes.
I've heard him on your space before.
What do you think about minds like that?
Because we have people that are 60, 70, 80 years old who have lived through the 21st century, 20th century American empire and can speak to it.
What do you think about voices like that and why they're valuable?
They're extremely important because what people don't realize is that when someone here is maybe you talking or Larry Johnson talking or Tim talking, or as you said, Lawrence Wilkinson, Daniel Davis, these guys are extremely pro America.
They just know that this is negative, even for the United States of America.
So let's take Daniel Davis as an example.
He's someone who was going to be part of the Trump administration.
He was already accepted, he was already selected, and he had the handshake agreement just 12 hours before he was going to be anointed.
Or they were going to present it to the public.
And obviously, Laura Dumas found out about it and made sure the nomination was pulled.
But this is someone who was going to be part of the Trump administration and is very pro America.
Whenever I'm on the show, he's always like, Our boys, this is not going to be good for us.
And he's looking at it very much from a pro American stance.
From the first decision, from the first hundred days, Trump has kind of gone back on a lot of the things that he promised, what we voted on specifically.
And then we've seen decision after decision after decision.
And after you get to a certain point, you've already invested so much energy into signaling to the people that you're really trying to appeal to that you just got to go all in.
And we've silently sunk into, again, this isn't like me trying to spew Israeli propaganda or all those types of things.
They are, they do have a lot of influence on the United States government.
And so now we're kind of like, well, we're not just going to cut our relations with Israel.
So we might as well go all the way because we thought taking the regime out on that first day was going to do the job.
So I just wanted to bring up the fact that every news talk that I hear is talking about how detrimental this whole situation is and that this has the fulcrum point of pivoting towards nuclear war or total chaos and apocalypse.
And that means that these people have a predetermined plan of how they're going to treat us after this is done.
And so I think it's about time that Alex Jones, the Joe Rogans, the powerful people of the world step up, put their money where their mouth is.
Organized.
I know Alex Jones doesn't have all this money because he's persecuted and stuff.
But there are people who do, and they need to get us down.
We need to be in Washington, D.C., and we need to be sitting on the sidewalks, lining the public fairways with nothing but the people who are anti Israel.
Here's the thing the peaceful Martin Luther King Jr. style protest, protesting for our civil rights and into the war and into our rape as citizens, that's 100% what we need.
We don't need the pageantry.
Of left and right, and the left wears the pussy hat, and on the right, they wear whatever clothing and regalia, the Patriot front outfit.
We need Americans out there, divorced from a political party, really, because both the parties have sold us out, out there demanding peace.
Hey, great to talk to both of you, and Tim, first time saying hello to you.
And yeah, that deep dive this morning was awesome.
And I'm in no way an expert about these real estate matters or so forth, but just being an old guy, I can tell you, I think part of the thing that factors into this is the devaluation of our currency starting in 71 when Nixon dropped the gold standard.
And, you know, you could buy a brand new Camaro Z28, I mean, the Z28, for $3,100.
Well, see, the whole concept for like a Trump defending in a certain way is in a way he's right.
For anyone that happened to get involved or hooked up in a house or houses or so forth, if you did, then over time, the lessening of the value of your money by definition makes it.
Further and further out of reach, and more and more money to buy one.
So, what zeolite is, and there's multiple different kinds of it, we have one of the top white labeled versions of it.
What it is is a de chelator, right, or a chelator.
It strips the heavy metals out.
It has a negative ionic charge.
It binds to specific things like lead, for example, and it has these effects.
Here's the thing if you haven't had that heavy metal exposure, if you don't feel like you've been subject to that, then maybe it's not the right choice for you, just in the same way that someone, maybe if they're on SSRIs or other strong drugs, Maybe everyone doesn't need to take methylene blue.
But the thing is, we produce the products as a resource for you, the viewer, listener, kind of like a deep dive.
We give you the starting point and we want you to do your own research.
And then literally all you got to do is ask ChatGPT, ask Google now, literally just look it up, PubMed, check the studies on all these things that we sell, and then make the decision based off of that.
There's no secret or esoteric knowledge, but these are real compounds that work.
I don't mean to interrupt you, Tim, because that's the point my dad made.
He's like, look, if I stay awake for two days, three days, things start getting really creepy and really weird, and you got to go to bed.
Trump essentially, old people, melatonin levels decline as you age.
So he's already getting worse quality sleep, less sleep, going to bed earlier, waking up earlier, the whole nine yards that we know about older people.
Well, hey, you got to try the power plant sometimes, man.
I think you'll find that's really incredible.
That's a blend that I made that doesn't rely on all those crazy LH medic herbs.
What it relies on is a high quality mineral blend proven to boost testosterone and free testosterone, combined with stuff that modulates cortisol so you have more fuel source for your hormones.
President Trump departs from the White House on his way to the Supreme Court, where he will be the first president in history to sit and listen to the court's oral arguments as it weighs the president's executive order ending birthright citizenship.
