The American Journal: Trump Announces Two-Week Ceasefire With Iran, Reopening Of Hormuz Strait & 50% Tariffs On Any Country Supplying Tehran With Military Weapons - FULL SHOW - 04.08.2026
President Trump announces a two-week ceasefire with Iran, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and imposing 50% tariffs on weapon suppliers while securing critical minerals in the DRC to counter Chinese dominance. Hosts Rex Jones and Tim Tompkins dissect neoconservative regime change plots, colonial exploitation in Africa, and global authoritarian trends, contrasting them with Amy Dangerfield's warnings about Australia's slide into dystopia. Ultimately, the episode champions an "America First" movement uniting independent candidates to restore civil liberties and end foreign entanglements before total systemic collapse occurs. [Automatically generated summary]
Look, everybody is debating this as are you for the mullahs or are you for regime change?
You have to look at all of this in the history of it and the neocons in 9 11 saying they were going to regime change seven countries and use 9 11 as the pretext.
He reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense's office today.
And he said, This is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries.
In five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
I said, Is it classified?
He said, Yes, sir.
I said, Well, don't show it to me.
Were we to get out early, we'd be intensifying the threat against us of a super powerful Sunni extremist group, which was now legitimated by overt Saudi funding.
In an effort to hang on to a toehold inside Iraq and block Iranian expansionism.
He's looked at the different ethnic and religious groups there.
There's a very good chance this is going to be a civil war.
We can be sucked into a new Vietnam.
And that's if we're successful getting rid of the mullahs.
So it's a real roll of the dice.
But no one can deny that this is an extremely bold move by Trump.
And Trump said, you know, if they're going to get a nuke, I'm going to go in and stop them.
Now, here's the big story.
And I told you this at least 15 years ago.
And then I talked to other Pentagon sources, and they said, yeah, that's true.
And you shouldn't know that.
But they have cars, vans, taxi cabs, you name it, that the West has in Iran that drive around that have sensors on them that scoop up the air and then they send it back and have it tested.
And 15, 16 years ago, they were driving around the enrichment centers.
So they stick them out in the middle of nowhere trying to keep away from that.
But they can also follow vehicles that are transporting it.
And they picked up heavily enriched uranium from the centrifuges.
So when you hear Israel saying for 20 years, oh, they're two weeks from a nuke.
That's because they have been.
Now, just because that's true doesn't mean Israel has a right to strike them.
We're going to attack North Korea because they have nukes?
I want to be clear Iran is trying to get a weapons program.
They refuse the peaceful program and the free fuel to build power reactors.
They don't need reactors, they are full of oil and gas.
So it is true that they've been pursuing a nuclear program.
I don't believe you have a right to attack them just because of that.
Can Iran attack Israel because they've got nukes?
Now, here's the headline, and this is officially on the Iranian news channels.
Iran needs only one week to conduct a nuclear test, says a member of the Iranian Security Committee, their Security Council, and a high level member of parliament.
There's a bunch of statements by the council.
We can have a bomb in one hour.
We can have a bomb in one day.
We can have a nuclear test within one week.
And Iran could test a nuke and show everybody.
And, you know, we've had Witkoff saying this earlier in the week.
And the bigger deal is they have the delivery systems now with their medium range.
Ballistic missiles.
Now, when I state those facts, people go, Oh my God, you agree with Israeli propaganda?
Not everything Israel says is a lie.
Now, Iran says they're one week away from being able to test one.
And I predict it because that's the obvious move to say, Hey, we got nukes.
Okay, we got nukes because they look at North Korea and others that have nukes that don't get attacked.
And then I'm going to get into why I think there's still a massive problem with this.
And it's actually not America's fault this time.
Not going to rag on Trump.
It's Netanyahu's fault.
I'm going to go ahead and read this.
Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, and wherein they requested I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran and subject the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to I will stop the bombing for two weeks.
This will be a double sided ceasefire.
The reason for doing so is that we already have met and exceeded all military objectives, whatever that means.
And we are very far along with the definitive agreement concerning long term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East.
We received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.
Okay, so break that down for people because that explains that we're not, nothing's set in stone here.
And, you know, people are really celebrating this online as they should.
Like, this is a great thing.
But a lot of people are saying now, because of the peace deal or peace plan, that this entire war has been worth it.
What was achieved?
I want to go ahead and read the Iran's 10 point peace plan.
This is the Midas Touch article if you want to do an overhead shot.
Iran's 10 point peace plan.
Number one, guarantee.
That Iran will not be attacked against.
That's some sort of security guarantee that includes, it's got to include another nation like Russia, China, India, one of these big countries in Pakistan, one of these countries in the region.
Number two, permanent into the war, not just a ceasefire after the two weeks.
Three, this is the big one, okay?
Into Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Okay, 1.3 million people displaced.
Yeah.
Number four, lifting of all US sanctions on Iran.
That's massive.
Five, into all regional fighting against Iranian allies.
I mean, I just don't see how Trump agrees to this.
You know, like that's Hamas and Hezbollah, and we know how Trump feels about them.
Actually, no, I heard Gary Cardone break it down on the space, and he said, like, that's basically like $2 a barrel tax because these super tankers carry like a million barrels.
So, no, and I believe they should have sovereignty.
I think they should have the right to defend themselves.
I think they should have the right to trade in the sanctions.
It's just, again, I don't want them to get to the point where they feel like, oh, we're the big dog in the region and we can just start bullying people around because that's what I'm also afraid of.
Well, the problem is that we've led by a really bad example when Iran is kind of like, you know, Not giving like a, I'm not denigrating the people there, but it's kind of like a medically antibiotic resistant organism.
So it's a situation where the usual tools of America that might work on like a Russia, might work on like an EU, might work on a Latin American country is just like the Iranians are like, brother, what is this?
And here's the thing I think I'm just trying to look at the long term implications.
I think what Trump wanted to do, once they took the civilians and they plopped them there, I think it put him between a rock and a hard place because they're not going to bomb.
So, yeah, the thing we got to keep in mind here is the Israeli occupation of Lebanon and the Greater Israel Project.
And all this is fine and dandy and all this is wonderful.
But until America actually asserts some willpower here, until America actually has some sort of courage and says no to Israel in the region, and all you got to do is stop.
But I mean, with Bibi at the head there, He's got his own issues, right?
Sure, he's just gonna, he's not gonna concede on the whole Lebanon because here's the thing remember, we talked, we okay, yeah, we'll play those in a second.
But BB looks at this as survival as well because they have been going back and forth for a very long time, and I don't think he's gonna concede on this one, yeah, but he has to.
After the region quiets down or calms down, which he doesn't want to happen, it's kind of like how Zelensky just wants the war to keep going on so he doesn't get in peace.
I want to go ahead and read a little bit of the Iranian statement in response to Trump's apparent capitulation.
This is a statement by Iran's Supreme National Security Council on the two weeks negotiation conditions.
With this strategy, In relying on the unprecedented political and social unity that had been created in the country, Iran and the resistance began one of the heaviest combined battles in history with America and the Zionist regime.
And during this time, they achieved all the goals they had planned for this battle.
Iran and the resistance almost completely destroyed the American military machine in the region, dealt crushing and deep blows to the massive infrastructure and facilities that the enemy had built and deployed in the region over years of war with Iran, inflicted massive casualties on the criminal American army on a regional scale, inflicted devastating and crushing blows on the enemy's forces, infrastructure, Facilities and assets inside the occupied territories and narrowed the field on all fronts to the enemy to such an extent that not only were none of the enemy's main goals achieved,
but the enemy realized about 10 days after the start of the war that it would not be able to win the war in any way.
And for this reason, it began trying to communicate with Iran through various channels and methods and requested ceasefire.
The noble nation of Iran should know that thanks to the struggle of its children and their historical presence on the scene, the enemy has been begging for more than a month to stop the fierce fire of Iran and the resistance with the country's officials.
Because it was decided from the very beginning the war would continue until the goals were achieved, including the enemy's regret and despair and the removal of long term threats to the country, responded negatively to all American requests, and the war has continued until today, which is the 40th day.
Iran has also rejected the deadlines presented by the U.S. president several times and continues to emphasize that it does not attach any importance to any kind of deadline from the enemy.
We now give the great nation of Iran the good news that almost all the objectives of the war have been achieved and that your brave sons have fought the enemy to a historic impotence and a lasting defeat.
Damn.
The historic decision of Iran, which enjoys the unified support of the entire nation, is to continue this battle for as long as necessary until the great achievements are consolidated and new security and political equations are created in the region based on the acceptance of the power and sovereignty of Iran and the resistance.
But this time is a little bit different because information is very hard for them to control.
Imagine living back like 30 years ago where you got all of your news from a newspaper or you got all of your news from an actual like video on TV, sure, where you had to go to the news channel at that point.
Imagine what people are thinking there, and they're like, it's an echo, it's a real echo chamber at that time period, sure.
Now you get a little bit discernment, but I'm still seeing people believe.
Propaganda on both sides, and they're not asking critical questions of like, okay, where are the nuances here?
Number five tomorrow around the country, power plants, young human chain circles will be formed.
Allah Rami, the secretary of Supreme Youth Council, after suggestions from the people, has invited creative, athletic, and cultural faces to join this human chain near power plants at 2 p.m.
I invite all the youth, athletes, artists, students, faculties tomorrow, Tuesday at 2 p.m.
Like, deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is terrorism.
Like, when they blow up that bridge, if there are Iranian tanks going across that bridge, if there's an army going across that bridge, that's a legitimate target.
But just because something might happen in the future because we say so doesn't give us the reason to commit murder.
Chance of death to America, targeting our people, killing Americans, lying and blackmailing their way toward a nuclear weapon, so they thought.
No longer.
Not on our watch.
Other presidents marked time and kicked the can down the road.
President Trump made history.
From the strike that took out Qasem Soleimani, to tearing up the disastrous Obama Iran deal, to the precision campaign that obliterated Iran's nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer.
To the decisive military victory we just achieved in Operation Epic Fury.
No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander in chief.
President Trump forged this moment.
Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.
As a president, truth this morning, a big day for world peace.
By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come.
You see, in less than 40 days, one of our combatant commands, Central Command, CENTCOM, using less than 10% of America's total combat power, dismantled one of the world's largest militaries.
The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself.
We untied just a fraction of our strength, and Iran suffered a devastating military defeat.
Together with our Israeli partners, America's military achieved every single objective on plan, on schedule, exactly as laid out from day one.
Iran's Navy is at the bottom of the sea, whether it's the Soleimani class, their frigate class, their prized drone aircraft carriers, submarines, mine layers, sunk.
Iran's Air Force has been wiped out.
Iran no longer has an air defense, any sort of a comprehensive air defense system.
We own their skies.
Their missile program is functionally destroyed.
Launchers, production facilities, and existing stockpiles depleted and decimated.
And almost completely ineffective.
Iran shot hundreds and hundreds of missiles and one way attack drones at our aircraft carrier.
They were obsessed with it.
And they never got even close.
Every single one of those shots easily shot down miles and miles away from the A.S. Lincoln.
Contrast that with most significantly in last night's wave of more than 800 strikes.
We finished completely destroying Iran's defense industrial base, a core pillar of our mission objective.
What little they have left buried in bunkers is all they will have.
They can still shoot, we know that.
Their command and control is so decimated they can't really talk and coordinate.
So they still may shoot here and there, but that would be very, very unwise.
But they can no longer build missiles, build rockets, build launchers, or build UAVs.
Their factories have been razed to the ground, set back in historic fashion.
You see, had Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, their bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure, targets they could not defend and could not realistically rebuild.
I think he's doing as good a job as he could be expected to do.
But ultimately, when this is looked back in like the months and years and decades to follow, they're going to look at this administration as a total clown college.
Well, here's the thing that I'm thinking right now after this administration and the previous one, it's going to be very hard for Americans to ever believe anything that comes out of the government's mouth.
What started scaring me was when they started firing everybody, which made me believe that every single person that got fired was somebody who was going against the narrative or just not wanting the expansion of the war.
Well, let's say they reach some sort of theoretical peace deal.
What counts as a violation of that deal if they're using American munitions to bomb Lebanon, if they're using American munitions to do these, or to strike Iran, God knows what?
The Israelis might just feel like they can continue to do stuff.
They're going to be able to drag us back in just like the first time.
We're going to figure out during this critical period, it's still going to be, you know, break down your shop day if you don't want to get in bet with us.
Well, what I was going to say about Jesse Waters is I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but remember when Tucker Carlson was on the network, I used to look at him almost like you look at Jesse Waters and how he just like has the puppet.
Like, I love new Tucker, right?
Because he's out of that system where they make you.
All morning, we were peppering their crown jewel, Karg Island.
That's something Iran can't afford to lose.
And our B 52s are already on their way to theater today, but Iran had no choice.
The New York Times is also reporting China begged the Iranians to take the deal, saying their economy couldn't take it anymore.
The regime was backed into a corner, and the president believed that sending in soldiers to open up the strait and seize Karg wouldn't be wise and was a last resort.
Whereas, like a show like this, where I might have strong opinions, I have ideology I stick to, you have ideology you stick to, maybe we have loyalties there.
If you think about it, right, and we literally come in here and we do a phenomenal three hour show for you guys.
Someone like Jesse Waters, someone like a Laura Ingram, someone like a Sean Hannity, they have like 20 writers, they have like 20 interns that like run around from them, they probably like attack them with chains and stuff.
Yeah, like, how are you actually supposed to find the actual core of the identity of what you want to present to the audience if someone else is telling you what to think, what to present, and what to do?
It's actually scary how much people don't care and how much people think it's actually just funny.
And this is all like a big ha ha joke.
And not to talk about it every day, but the discussion we had on stream with Jeremy, like, It's not funny and cool anymore to be like, oh, well, it's just things are going to get worse.
The ceasefire has happened or appears to have happened, but.
We can't, these people are like, if I go around and I kill 10 people and then, you know, I take a break for doing it for six months, I'm suddenly now like, I can become, you know, the mayor of the city, the principal of the school, you know, the president of the U.S. That's not how it works.
And I'm grug, no do good math, grug brain, no work.
So, definitely gonna need a little bit of help from the crew there.
But you think about it, they're telling us that we can't solve the homeless veteran issue, okay?
I think there's like 35,000 homeless veterans, yeah.
You can't give all of them 11 grand.
You see what I'm saying?
You could, and that's literally a drop in the bucket, that's just the money that they spent initially.
They're already trying to get, and they're still trying to pass this through because keep in mind, Trump says the wars of the future, another $200 billion of military, plus the $1.5 trillion new budget next year.
Well, the thing is, they still get to fly around the fancy jet, Tim.
They just don't want anybody else to have a good quality of life.
But we want you to have a good quality of life.
We want you to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is what we've always talked about here on the network.
I want to tell you guys right now we got a sale, Methylene Blue tincture sale, 72% off subscription to $16.79 a month when you subscribe and save.
Here's the thing if you're taking Methylene Blue, a lot of the callers that call in say, I stopped taking it for a month, like three months, for six months, I want to start taking it again.
Just subscribe and save so you won't forget 72% off when you get the subscription locked in for life as long as you stay subscribed.

You know, 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 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 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.
So if you guys have ever heard him say, I solved seven wars, this is one of the wars that he's referring to.
I'm not sure what the other six were.
But this one was definitely one of the seven that he was referring to.
And so we got to start here.
So, you know, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been locked into a conflict that's tied to rebels and control of the Eastern Congo for decades.
And so Trump has hosted both leaders and pushed this deal through.
And you can see that on the screen.
This is him signing like some temporary peace deal, but it's not that simple.
But like, here's a quick breakdown.
So, Rwanda is supposed to pull its troops out of the Congo, Congo is supposed to crack.
Down on anti Rwandan rebel groups.
Both sides stopped backing the militias, and then the U.S. is supposed to oversee the pressure and keep both sides sticking to it.
And that's just the surface version, but there's more things.
And the real story is not just about this handshake that's happening in Washington, but why the conflict never ends and why the U.S. has just suddenly decided we're going to come in here and just save everybody and stop this war.
And so, why does the U.S. care?
The US cares because you got to understand why they're paying attention.
There's four aspects to this, right?
We've got critical minerals.
So East Congo holds cobalt, copper, tin, tungsten, and tantalum, which are like core materials for EVs.
And they've got smartphones, AIs, military data, tech.
All of those things are controlled with those types of ingredients.
Then you have China that dominates these supply chains today.
And so the U.S. is also trying to take a shot at breaking their dominance over those regions.
Second thing is, they want to contain the chaos.
The region has been one of the deadliest conflict zones on the earth for decades.
And so this kind of means less refugees that are coming out of that.
The third thing that we care about is it's another diplomatic win, like we're talking about.
The U.S. gets influence and leverage, but then also Trump's trying to pat his record.
So this was one of the things that he was using to kind of position himself for it.
And then he just wants to keep Rwanda and Congo aligned with Washington because remember, where there are power vacuums, there's the ability for quote unquote the enemy, China and Russia, to step into those regions.
And again, when you have such a rich country with such extensive resources, you don't want that to fall into the enemy hands.
So Let's talk about Rwanda.
We'll actually show where it is on a map.
Let's go ahead and pull that map up so people can see.
So, you can see it's kind of like in the center, it is massive.
It's huge.
It is a very big country.
It actually is almost the size of Europe.
If I've got that graphic up there for number two, we can show the comparison between the DRC and Europe.
You're just going to see, look, it covers pretty much all of Europe, minus Spain and Portugal.
But it just puts it in perspective.
And so, the Congo didn't just start as a normal country.
It actually started as the European powers in the late 1800s came in and started projecting their power under this Belgian king.
I mean, Belgium was rich because it went into Africa.
And they went in, they pulled resources, they extracted the wealth, and they basically left nothing behind for the people.
And let's go ahead and play this video that's going to show down how the Europeans went in, carved up parts of Africa, and just did resource extraction.
Congo was created actually as the private fiefdom of a Belgian king in 1885.
And so the whole purpose of the Congolese state was always to extract from the local population, it was never to create a government or a state that provides public services or public goods, including security.
Again, go watch part three of that series if you want.
A deeper dive.
The most important part of this section of the story is that Belgium didn't build a country out of Congo, they built a pipeline for resources to Europe.
Roads and railways led from mines and plantations to ports, not between cities.
It created ethnic groups and tribal identities and then played them off each other so that they could conquer them, but also in the process sowing the seeds for future conflict and division.
That deep history really is important, understanding where we are today, because a lot of the habits and the trends and the logics of the state sort of persist until today.
unidentified
Some of the structural issues to Congo East.
Still facing moving from bad governance, destructured army, lack of sustainable policy.
That is actually where we can situate some of these trends.
So we just see this a lot with the call that the European powers, what they did in the past.
Jogs my memory that they did this with a lot of countries, not just in Africa, but across the world.
And you had this play out in India, you had this play out in Southern America.
And so they did, yeah, Middle East.
They did this divide and conquer.
And what you're seeing now, and this is just eye opening because as I've been researching and understand, a lot of the stuff that you're seeing where there's like these generational conflicts, arguments, people like going to war over each other and the destabilization.
Because, and not to diverge from the deep dive here, but if you go to Israel and Palestine and all of that, that was something that happened when Britain was still kind of in its last dying era.
It was still in that power position where it promised the land to two people.
But I did a whole article on this on the newsletter that we have, and it was the same thing playing out there too.
Britain and the colonialists went in, carved up these regions, and they didn't leave the state for the Kurdish people.
They just said, well, you know, Iran looks like this, Iraq looks like this, and then we'll keep Turkey like this.
And then we'll, and so you just see like these powers are just dictating everything across the world.
And We have conflict after conflict.
People don't even remember the history to know why they're fighting in the beginning, right?
So you just see these things play out for hundreds of years and the true people that had bad intentions never get punished and it's always down the line.
And so we have to get out of these cycles.
And that's why, you know, you see Europe today, their economy is dying, Rex.
And so there's only but so many countries left that are willing to deal with this type of mentality, which is why you're seeing more people trying to compete for those last dying resources.
Well, the thing is, like, people are like, why would we just surrender to you and give you everything when the stuff that we have is stuff that powers your entire civilization?
And that's like, oh, that's a, and now the area is depopulated and they control it.
And it's all planned.
It's all planned out.
It's a system of control because the British people, really the Dutch, they figured out, okay, We can send a thousand people to a region, and if we figure out what languages people speak, what they believe in, who hates each other, we can back both sides against each other and then come out on top when they're both dead.
But here's the part like most people miss over time, Rwanda's involvement in the troops only stopped.
Being about security, right?
And then the eastern Congo is packed with these valuable minerals and backed by rebel groups like M23, which gives Rwanda influence over that territory.
So now Rwanda is involved for two reasons it's not just that security, but it's also mineral access.
And so this is a major reason why the eastern part of Congo never sees any type of like, you know, stability.
And so let's pull up number five, number three, graphic number three, showing.
What that East Congo region looks like, it's gonna shock you.
It just looks like a bunch of mini countries.
And you can zoom in on there just a little bit.
You just see everything carved up.
And it's just all of those blobs are different regions controlled by different militias.
Well, and the reason why, like, I watch these stories, I read these stories, and these are the moments that I start to, you know, appreciate that the fact that, you know, what America has built in terms of like legal systems and government and police that's military.
Because, you know, if somebody does something wrong to you and steals, You at least have an ability to go after that person, or you like, we're getting robbed, you know, silently through a paycheck, but it's not like somebody saying, hand up half your belongings to me, or I'm gonna shoot you in the face.
Exactly, right?
So, we got to remember not to take things for granted sometimes because it could be worse.
Sure, you know, you could have been born anywhere else, but you had the privilege of being born in the United States.
And I and I say, and I don't say that lightly, I say that for myself, very grateful, yes, super grateful.
So, let's go ahead and play.
This next video that's going to show the gold and how it leaves the mines and the traveling that it goes through, because a lot of these security groups, like we were talking about, it's about the resource extraction and it has its own pipeline.
And again, it's like, you know, a lot of these countries, and it's not just specific to Africa, a lot of these countries around the world, like I said, have been plagued by like the bigger power they see.
I think the reason why we have these major conflicts is to distract from these minor situations because if these things weren't going on, then we'd actually, hey, like, what's going on here?
How many people are dying in this area?
But because you have these world ending conflicts all the time that are about to happen, it just gets swept under the rug.
And people are like dying by the tens of thousands every single day.
So it is shocking.
And the whole reason why we do these deep dives is just to shed light on things that are not nearly covered as much as they should be covered.
Yes.
And so that you just learn something new.
Each day, because that's the whole point of the show is like, we want you to come out of this learning something new and be like, okay, I can go and do something with this knowledge.
Yeah, the saying is, warts and all, this is humanity, warts and all.
This is the stuff that nobody else is going to show you because it's not fun, it's not fluff, it's not necessarily a cool thing to talk about, but it's real.
You need to know that it's going on.
We need to be empowered because we want to actually change the world, don't we?
So, you know, we were just covering, you know, the origins of what's happened and the resource extraction.
But the thing that we got to look at, Is the global markets and the exporting that's happening?
So, more often than not, you're probably using a device or something, or if you bought a necklace, there's a strong possibility that it's come from this region as well.
What happened was the Congo's conflict ended up starting this smuggling system that created the refined and the gold.
I mean, it created refined.
It got smuggled in, it got refined, and then it was sold as legitimate.
And so that's what you're seeing on this picture here once the gold leaves the mine, it passes through dozens of roadblocks and checks.
Then it gets smuggled into Uganda or Rwanda.
Then it gets refined and then it gets shipped to Dubai and then it's mixed in with clean gold and becomes untraceable.
And you just see, like, I mean, how could you know a supply chain and where the origins of these things come from?
And so you see that a bunch of that line down there, but But then also, you had a lot of outside companies, a lot of Western companies and people going into Uganda and setting up shop in a safer region, but taking their resources from the disturbed one.
And so you've got gold.
It's not just gold, right?
You've got tungsten, tantalum, cobalt, all of it flows through the same dirty pipeline.
And so this pipeline connects Congo directly to jewelry, electronics, EV batteries, military tech, global finance.
And so this conflict just keeps paying for itself.
And it almost is like you almost don't want to fix it, right?
Because it's cheaper to not have it fixed.
You know, if you have legitimate systems in place and you have real companies that are extracting it properly and you have to pay people a reasonable wage to do that, then the cost of everything goes up from there.
I mean, look, you know, you can look at it however you want.
I mean, Trump, you know, this is a win for him in terms of the aspects that he got a pretty good deal out of this for the United States.
Now, is it ethical?
That's another question, right?
But I mean, this should have been one of those things that should have been addressed a while back.
But the only thing is, is it like, do we trust, you know, whoever these corporations that are going in and extracting the resources to do it in a way that actually benefits the region itself?
And so the United States and these other countries are like, well, we can't do that in our own country.
We got to find another way to compete here.
So, yeah, this is the NMI deep dive.
It's just, again, I wanted to kind of step away from what's happening in the mainstream and what we've seen in Iran and Israel and the past of the US, because I've covered a lot of that stuff.
This one was just kind of like season it with something different because these are things that are happening in real time as we speak.
We're super proud to be able to offer this information.
And this is the thing about like our show why I think it's unique, why I think it works.
I want to monologue, I want to do news blitz, but I also want the chance to be able to in real time learn something new and then analyze the information, have a conversation with you about it.
And I know you're really researched on whatever you've gone down the line on.
And that's what we were talking about earlier at the beginning.
I'm like, how does this conflict stop in two weeks when you have Israel and the United States that are basically in bed together and we don't have full control over what Israel's doing?
If you're going to make the argument, this is our strongest ally, well, the strongest ally needs to listen to us, it needs to abide by the ceasefire.
Let's go ahead and go to the neocon ghoul roundup because while we were doing the deep dive, they came in and just threw us a stack of just these neocon ghouls reacting to the peace plan.
Again, a diplomatic solution to end the reign of terror in Iran is the preferred outcome.
The supposed negotiating document, in my view, has some troubling aspects, but time will tell.
I look forward to the Occupy.
Architects of this proposal, some strong young boys.
But time will tell.
I look forward, blah, blah, blah.
The vice president and others coming through to Congress explaining how a negotiated deal meets our national security objectives.
As President Donald Trump said this morning, all the highly enriched uranium must be removed from Iran and handed over to the United States, the Libyan model.
Okay, this ain't happening.
We read the Iranian statement.
Did anyone there talk about giving up the enriched uranium?
We have Trump, and it looks like he's looking to make a deal here.
And then you got the people that are around him, like Lindsey Graham, like Mark Levin.
They're pushing, they're like, it's not enough.
It's not enough.
We must have more, more, more death now, now, now.
Never take no for an answer.
Like, they still want the regime change, even though they won't admit it.
Allowing this regime to enrich in the future would be an affront to all those murdered by the regime since this war started, would be inconsistent with denying Iran a pathway towards a bomb in the future.
That's why I strongly support President Trump's statement today no enrichment for Iran.
I remember, okay, around the time of the 12 day war, may have been before, may have been after, Witkoff going, okay, well, they only want to enrich up to 3.5%.
We can agree to that.
And then he comes out a day later and goes, no enrichment on Fox News.
As latest agreement reached between two countries, the United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive regime change.
This is taunting the bull here.
There will be no enrichment of uranium.
The United States will be working with Iran, dig up and remove all the deeply buried B 2 bombers, nuclear dust.
It is now and has always been under very exacting satellite surveillance.
Nothing has been touched since the date of the attack.
We are and will be taking tariff and sanctions relief with Iran.
Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to.
And then you got like Lindsey Graham that comes in, you know, I went to Disney Rex and they told me if I clap my feet three times, I just get more war.
The reality is, this is from Laura Loomer, the reality is these negotiations are awful for America and they only embolden the terrorist regime in Iran.
How is it awful for America that Americans stop dying and that our money stops being spent on a conflict we're already losing?
Luckily, President Trump wasn't in charge of negotiations.
Trump understands the real danger and threat posed by the Iranian regime.
Which is why the people around him, I'm sure we can all figure out who planned the New York Times story, stabbed him in the back yesterday by leaking private situation room conversations to New York Times to pretend like they were against the war.
Many of these people were on the record supporting the war themselves.
So, the part that I want to just quickly address here she says people don't understand how brutal their Islamic ideology is.
There is some truth to that.
Okay.
There is some truth to that.
Every country has its dark sides.
You know, just because it's the underdog that's getting beat up, and you've got like Israel and the United States coming in and making these haymakers, and they're, you know, now the underdog, does not mean that Iran doesn't have its own issues in which it treats its people poorly.
The idea that they're a mystery box is ridiculous.
Like, the U.S. is really the mystery box.
You know, we really don't know what we're going to do.
Okay.
I'll give you that.
We can predict them.
That's, Claim that I'm making here.
And if you can predict somebody, then you probably can reason with them.
You can have negotiation, which is why, like, here's the thing I've been very, very black-pilled on Trump.
I'm white-pilled on this.
I think there is a strong chance that this goes through and that we actually see end hostilities, but we're worried about the various factors.
I mean, these people are super upset.
Like, these neocons are super mad right now.
No more military money for me.
That's right.
That's right.
I'm going to read the next Laura Loomer tweet.
The official Iranian foreign ministry accounts are posting images of President Trump bowing down to Iran.
Take a look at the post by the Iranian embassy in India Muslims never negotiate in good faith.
That's takiyah, which is the Islamic practice of being able to lie to further the religious interest.
They are stalling while their propaganda arm in the U.S. media, which includes woke right broadcasters and elected Democrats, turn on President Trump and move to impeach him and call for him to be removed by the 25th Amendment.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, if allowed to collect a toll through Strait of Hormuz, Will bide their time through the remainder of the Trump administration and pad their bank accounts to fund Iran's terrorism for decades to come.
Then, the second Trump is gone, they will build a nuclear weapon and attack the U.S. and Israel.
Negotiating with terrorists only makes them stronger.
Sadly, I think the U.S. is going to learn a lot more.
Well, so the 25th Amendment means that the cabinet realizes that, like, the president's lost his mind.
They get him out of there.
It's actually a lot harder to get than impeachment, as Barnes kind of detailed.
But now that Trump has talked about the two week ceasefire, I mean, literally just that he can say something and then everything else, like the weeks and the months of just crazy genocidal language and attacks everywhere and starting the wars he said he'd never start, all that just goes out of the window.
And now everyone's like, you said Trump should be 25th.
State investigators, backed by the New Mexico Department of Justice under Attorney General Raul Torres, launched a full scale search of the former Epstein estate.
unidentified
The so called Truth Commission seeks to identify ranch guests and state officials who may have known what was going on at the 7,600 acre property or taken part in alleged sexual abuse.
The fact of the matter was that he was basically doing anything he wanted in this state without any accountability whatsoever.
And the ranch that exists out near Stanley, New Mexico. Is basically on a two lane highway in the middle of nowhere.
It was him with an airstrip and a sprawling place that he brought folks to that we know very little, if nothing, about.
Why did Republican Texas Comptroller candidate Don Huffines, through his venture firm Hest Investments, pour $1.8 million into Secretome Therapeutics back in 2024, a biotech outfit pushing regenerative medicine with their lead product STM 01, derived from neonatal cardiac progenitor cells sourced from babies under 30 days old,
specifically infant heart tissue from newborns with?
Congenital defects undergoing surgery.
Meanwhile, Huffine's family snapped up Jeffrey Epstein's notorious Zorro Ranch in New Mexico at public auction years after the notorious transhumanist's death.
A Texas politician tied to Epstein's property in New Mexico, who is now invested in transhumanist therapies, literally banking on infant hearts.
Bizarre.
Epstein openly discussed using the ranch as a base for outlandish eugenics inspired schemes.
Including plans to impregnate multiple women with his DNA to seed an improved human race through artificial insemination and genetic engineering.
Ideas he pitched to scientists from the Santa Fe Institute and other elite circles he courted in New Mexico.
unidentified
My name is Juliette Bryant.
I was kidnapped by Jeffrey Epstein 22 years ago.
A lot of frightening things happened there.
I went outside to have a cigarette.
I saw these three lights in a triangle formation.
Everything got weird.
I felt.
Very scared.
But then what happened is I got locked out and couldn't get back in.
That's also the time when I have that sort of flashback where I wake up paralyzed in a lab.
Whispers of even darker horrors have swirled around Zorro Ranch for years, fueled by an anonymous 2019 email purporting to come from a former staffer claiming that two foreign girls died by strangulation during rough fetish sex and were buried in the quiet hills nearby on orders from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
unidentified
In fact, there are records dating back to the mid 1990s of abuse happening at the ranch, including a report.
Report to the FBI in 1996 by a survivor and multiple other reports over the years.
And one of the significant and important pieces of this case is to understand why justice was never pursued at the state, local, or federal level.
Back in July 2008, right as Epstein was checking into his cushy Florida jail suite for that sweetheart plea deal, his Zorro Trust suddenly clutched a $80 million winning Powerball ticket by none other than Bryce Gordon, Epstein's longtime ranch manager, and the guy listed as trustee who signed off on the payout.
Obviously, we all breathed the sigh of relief yesterday when we heard the news about the ceasefire.
But I think that anybody who's been following this, they are not surprised that it is not standing because obviously a lot of it is contingent upon what Israel does.
The ceasefire seems to have been primarily through Iran and American diplomatic talks.
However, when it comes to Israel, that is clearly a force that we cannot constrain, we cannot control.
And so, really, The longevity of the ceasefire and it lasting the entire two weeks, it was really dependent on the way Israel decided to move.
And we saw last night they were bombing, well, this morning, I believe, bombing Lebanon, one of the really the most Christian country in the Middle East.
I think it's absolutely disgusting and demonic.
And so I'm really not surprised that Iran is taking a hard stand here.
Listen, again, it's all dependent on what Israel does.
I mean, surely what we do as well.
And I think that really comes down to is Trump actually gone insane?
Is he the madman that was reflected in that post that he put out on Easter?
Or was that a strategic tactic that he used to make them think that he had gone mad so that they would be willing to come to the table with peace talks and negotiations?
But ultimately, I believe the true conservation of the peace proposal rises and falls on Israel, and we cannot control them.
Whenever we've heard any speculation of peace talks or Iran wanting to come to the table with negotiations, they've had their spokespeople come out and say, We are in fact not speaking with you guys, right?
So it's difficult to tell who is bluffing.
I mean, obviously, I'm not very trusting of our government.
So I certainly cannot say either way whether Trump is being entirely honest with us.
I think that maybe it was a combination of All of the people yesterday calling to invoke the 25th Amendment, just the way that the general population reacted to just the brute force of him willing to literally take down an entire civilization.
I think that maybe that kind of caused him to pump the brakes.
But when you look at this thing from a bird's eye view, what have we really achieved out of any of it?
I mean, when you look at the plan that's on the table, they're allowed to continue enriching uranium, according to them.
They still have a supreme leader who is even more radicalized than the original one because he watched his whole family die.
And really, the only thing that Iran has not gotten from this so called agreement is the reparations that they initially asked for.
But they do kind of get the opportunity to rebuild their civilization using the money that they get from the toll from allowing ships to pass through the strait.
And they're kind of using that, I guess, in lieu of the reparations.
So, what has the US actually got from this?
I think it would be wise for Trump.
To just lie to the American public, who obviously aren't as tapped in as all of us, and say, We won, guys.
We got all of our strategic outcomes.
But anybody who's been following this thing knows that that's just simply not true.
I mean, we've just lost American lives, and all of the objectives that they initially set out to achieve have not been achieved.
But I think it would be wise for him to just lie and say, We won, guys.
We did it.
But again, ultimately, I think it's all just going to depend on how Israel chooses to act from here on out.
I have to say, like, we agree, and we think there is real mobility on the U.S. side, people that want.
Peace, but it really is all dependent on really our 51st state in the region.
It's the U.S. Israeli empire that we will always talk about on this show because we're kind of joined at the hip.
And we would like to look at things in a vacuum where, like, okay, it's America and the American people should be put first and it's our interests that are the priority.
But we're seeing it reflected not just in politics, but in media as well.
I wanted to ask you this question What do you think of the neocon faction?
Do you think that that is going to be, there's been this resurgence in the right wing, so called right wing?
We have these chicken hawks, these war hawks, people that love conflict, that love death.
Do you think this is just a flash in the pan, or do you think this is making a resurgence?
Do you think this is going to be kind of like the new takeover of the Republican Party back to the age of John McCain?
I think what's kind of heartening for me is seeing this surge of America first candidates really stepping forward and running.
And it's not at the level, obviously, of a presidential level, but we're seeing people who are running for governor, who are running for Congress, running for Senate, people who are boldly claiming that they are America first.
They are anti war.
They're against AIPAC.
They're against foreign lobbying.
And there's been a huge, Shift, I think, even with normal people, largely due to this war.
I mean, it's terrible, it's disgusting.
The one positive, I guess, if you could call it that, is the people who are opening their eyes to the fact that the government does not care about them.
It doesn't care about them.
It doesn't care about the effects that this war has on people economically.
Obviously, they're feeling it when they go to fill up gas, right?
Obviously, it's impacting our relations with our allies in the region.
And people are looking at this and they're saying, Did they consider us at all when they endeavored upon this pointless war, this pointless war of choice?
And so I think that the more people continue to open their eyes, the more viable these America First platforms are going to become, not as just some fringe ideology, right?
But something that's actually a viable platform to run on.
And so I honestly think that that's our biggest hope.
And we start small.
We start with local governance.
We start with, you know, the district.
We start with the state.
And then when we get enough.
Of the people in who reflect our ideals, eventually we can make real change.
And when I think about America first, it's not America first in the sense of like isolationism.
I think because we're in a global market, we're all connected and we're getting most of our food overseas.
We're getting a lot of our consumer items overseas.
So there's no way we could like go back to, you know, the 40s and be like, okay, or the late 30s and be like, okay, we're isolated completely and we're not going to do business with anybody.
It's like $12 a gallon to fill up in Australia right now.
And it's terrifying.
I mean, some people have been acting very erratically in certain regions of Australia.
There's no groceries on the shelf, there's a lot of fear mongering that's going on over there.
And so, you know, Australia's a mess.
The UK's a mess.
Socialism is taking over.
There's no freedom of speech.
In Australia, people are being arrested for wearing t shirts that say from the river to the sea.
There's guys who are behind bars for giving like a 40 second speech on Australia Day, simply stating that Israel is not our greatest ally.
And so, when I look at that and I look at the freedom that we have here, that's what makes me so patriotic, but also terrified at the same time that.
We're going to lose it here.
They're already passing anti Semitism laws here in Florida, where I live, also in Ohio.
And thankfully, they're not really being enforced, at least not at scale.
But I'm scared of what's going to happen when this power grip that Israel has over us, if we don't stop that, they could just click that on button and all of a sudden these laws that breach the First Amendment start being enforced.
I mean, we talk about that all the time on the show.
And this is like, it's civil rights.
It's human rights.
It's literally liberation, pro humanity.
Like, how could you not be for free speech?
How could you not be for liberty to say and think and do what you actually believe in as long as you're not hurting somebody?
And that's the real American ethos.
And What this country has done with this state, thousands of miles away, has done is they've made us prioritize their interests like they're our interests.
And they're just not.
On its face, like Israel's interests are just not our interests.
So why are we involved in this?
Why do we fund it?
Why do we fund the death?
Oh, because if we're not running that region, somebody else will.
It's the big bad man theory.
We have to be the big bad man, or else there'll be another big bad man that'll come in.
We can't have that.
And a lot of the time, what that theory does in the minds of people, and just kind of like the common American thought, is like, well, you know, I'm just Joe Sixpack.
I don't know about the war, but I assume the war is good because it's for my empire and the empire needs.
To propagate itself, they don't even know about any of the dozens or hundreds of civilian factions of populations of tribes of people that have been displaced, that have been murdered, that have been killed all around the Middle East in places they couldn't even point out on a map or know that exist.
And so this is where I wanted to go with this conversation and ask you because you're probably well versed about what's happening around the world as well.
I look at the situation and I see, like, the United States has so much influence.
Everyone across the world follows what the United States does.
So, you know, they're reporting more in the U.S. sometimes than they are in their own countries.
But then we also have the ripple effect of all the economic impacts that happen here or the decisions we make impact a country that has nothing to do with it.
And so you were talking about something earlier about what Australians are going through.
And I wanted to talk about, like, The standard of living, are they making as much as Americans, but then also suffering worse on these ripple effects that are happening based off of the conflict and all of that?
I would say earnings like for minimum wage are higher.
It's like a $26 minimum wage.
I would say when it comes to like industries, you know, gig economy, that type of thing, I'd say it's probably very similar as well as when it comes to like professional work, but definitely the cost of living is much higher.
I believe that Sydney is the most expensive city in the world to live in, if I'm not mistaken, or at least up there.
It was always prevalent when I lived in Australia, but now you go to a city like Sydney or Brisbane, Perth, any of these major cities, and you are hard pressed to look around and spot like a white Australian, honestly.
And so people from all over the world, a lot of Asian countries, and a lot of third and second world countries like we do get the overflow of these war torn countries where it's no longer safe for them.
They come over to Australia, a lot of Lebanese.
And unfortunately, what happens then is these illegals also get access to the same level of benefits that the Australian people had.
And these are things that I was grateful for growing up.
I mean, I took a couple of ambulance rides to the hospital and they were free.
But now we're at the point where the resources are absolutely overwhelmed and people are calling for ambulances, especially in rural places.
And they're just not coming.
They're not coming in time.
People are dying.
There aren't enough hospital beds available.
And because of this, This issue where there's just everything is free, but there's not enough to go around for absolutely everybody.
They have to put the cost of living up to make up for that.
Well, I do have a theory about it because Australia is also one of the most dystopian countries when it comes to things like digital ID, for example.
Like, I've been on record for a while now saying that I wouldn't be surprised if Australia becomes the first Western country to resemble communist China and basically like everything except names with like a social credit system and things like this.
They recently passed a law where you literally need to even upload your ID to be able to use things like Google, for example.
And I think what they're trying to do is two things simultaneously.
They're trying to create this dystopian, technologically advanced society while simultaneously ushering in the third world and creating so much instability by doing so that eventually all of the Australians are going to call out for a solution.
Hey, please help us get these people out.
And then that's when they're able to really switch on the digital ID at scale and enforce something like a social credit system.
So it's like your typical.
Problem reaction solution playbook, in my view, right?
And also, a big part of it is the people you're bringing in from the third world or whatnot, they're just happy to be living in a first world country, so they're going to take whatever kind of deal is given to them.
And ultimately, the goal is to replace you and to have a new permanent underclass, kind of like in 1984.
You have the elites, and then you have kind of the people living out in the boonies that are just kind of controlled, and that's what they're trying to do.
And I, even like, we talk about the illegal immigration that comes out of Mexico, I mean, it had.
You know, the United States decided instead of going into the conflict with Iran and said, Hey, let's address the cartel and all of these things that are happening in our hemisphere that are causing the ripple down effect where people don't have the stability to want to live.
Like, come on.
I mean, we don't think about like when we go home and driving on the way home and like having a point check, like a checkpoint where somebody has a gun up to your head and says, Well, you need to pay us if you want to go back home.
I mean, and again, that's why I'm so patriotic and why I love the United States.
It's why I haven't been back to Australia in 10 years.
In fact, I don't actually think I could go back anymore.
I'm pretty sure I would be arrested if I went back.
Yeah, because I mean, I've been pretty outspoken about what I think when it comes to Israel and Bibi Netanyahu and the Lakhd party.
And honestly, the people in Australia who've been arrested, it's been for far more benign things than stuff that I've said.
So honestly, I am a little fearful of going back and that.
Upsets me to an extent, not because I want to live there, but you know, I'm married, we're trying to start a family.
One day, I'd like to bring my children to meet their grandparents over there, and so that's a little bit upsetting for me.
And I don't really think that there is anything that can correct course in Australia right now.
I mean, people are starting to wake up.
There was a march for Australia last year where tens of thousands of people took to the streets protesting, and of course, the Australian media labeled it as white neo Nazis, right?
What they always do, whenever you try to speak truth to power, they just label you as all of these names.
They try to discredit you.
So the people are waking up, but again, I'm a little bit fearful that it's already too late.
That's where I initially moved when I came to the United States.
I was out there for four years.
And then COVID hit.
It was pretty bad in Hawaii.
I'd say it was one of the worser states.
People were getting in trouble for walking out on the beach, police approaching them.
And so I decided to move over to Florida.
And while all of this was happening, My mom would call me still every day, even when I was in Hawaii, which I still considered to be pretty bad lockdowns.
And she would say, I am so relieved that you're in America.
And that's kind of what radicalized me to think like, what are the differences between these political systems that what, you know, Australia is currently experiencing is so different to the freedom that we still have in the United States, especially in these red states, right?
Which is why I moved out here to Florida.
And it got me really curious and actually started to really expand my understanding of. political systems.
Well, it's a beautiful thing to be able to participate in free society, to have First Amendment, to have Second Amendment, all the things we take for granted in America.
These other nations, they just don't have the rights that we have.
And this is something that we discuss all the time on the show.
You know, if we're really about exporting democracy, if we're really about exporting free speech, then instead of JD Vance wagging his finger in front of the EU leaders, you know, instead of going to this war with Iran, why haven't we blockaded Britain?
Why haven't we blockaded any of these nations that are suppressing and oppressing their own people?
And I just think it's so clear to see.
And it's so obvious that these are deprivations of human rights.
I mean, and that's what, and when we come back from the break, I do want to ask you just a little bit about kind of like the differences between the US and the rest of the world and the things that, you know, we might not understand how good we have it.
Because it's very often that, like, I have conversations and sometimes I catch myself as I've read a story and I'm like, oh, wow, that's really bad.
I wouldn't want that.
We're good over here, but yeah, we're coming up on a break here.
Yeah, I just wanted to ask you about like you were touching upon something earlier here with the differences, you know, here in America.
And you're like, I'm so blessed to be in America.
And let's just highlight some of the things that we have, you know, way better than the rest of the world and that we kind of don't even realize about it.
Because I have things that I've seen, but you probably have a better idea.
I mean, I just think like an encoded, like, Bill of Rights, right?
The Constitution.
Like, Australia doesn't have anything that even closely resembles that.
And so that's why it's so easy to take away people's liberties.
Obviously, Australia was disarmed in the 90s.
So it's extremely difficult to own a firearm.
And obviously, that is to defend against a tyrannical government.
Ultimately, that is one of the core reasons why.
And Australia's government is certainly becoming tyrannical.
More and more so by the year.
And there isn't really anything that the will of the people can do to push against that, especially as they implement more of these dystopian policies that impede upon the First Amendment and their right to privacy.
Australia is a Commonwealth country.
So it is the little brother of the UK.
And obviously, in the UK, we've seen very similar issues when it comes to illegal immigration, when it comes to things like digital ID, and when it comes to things like being arrested for tweets.
So, essentially, this gang of Pakistani men have abused thousands upon thousands of women.
And because of the cultural sensitivity and not wanting to appear racist, some of these women who have spoken out and, in fact, made posts calling out.
The Pakistani grooming gangs have faced worse repercussions than the rapists themselves.
So they're making these tweets, calling out the situation, calling out the revolving door of justice, where sometimes they take these guys in, they go to charge them, they release them shortly after.
And the more attention this situation is getting, people are posting about it online.
And then the next thing they know, police are showing up on their doorstep to apprehend them for bringing awareness to it for their racism.
Well, you can do those things, but then there's legal recourse that comes with it, right?
Like if you slander someone, then you'll get sued by them, silly.
But in Australia, if you do something like that and you're calling out, The wrong group, a protected group, then you get arrested through criminal proceedings.
And that's a very different thing.
When it comes to the hate speech laws that are currently being enacted in Australia, I think they're some of the most dystopian in the world.
They carry up to a five year prison sentence.
And it is not even if what you say directly results in a Jewish person being harmed, it's simply if you instill fear inside of them.
That is the verbiage and the language used around.
And this was the same thing we were complaining about.
I mean, this is what moved me from the left over to the right.
And now I'm kind of back center.
But like, in the COVID time period, they were censoring everybody for COVID related topics.
You had the Democrats just throwing people off of accounts left and right.
Some of it to combat misinformation, which were just completely like you could discredit and disprove those specific theories, but it was like everything was fair game for them to go and suppress.
And that was like, yeah, that doesn't work out.
And so now we're seeing the pendulum switch the other way.
And like even people on the right now are calling for censorship and the whole you're an anti Semite and all those things just for questioning what Israel is doing.
And notice how they never pass less laws, they never take laws off the books.
It's just building up this.
Corporate red tape structure that ultimately, you know, down the line in the future when everything's integrated with technology, the digital ID, the social credit system that you're talking about, Amy, there's going to be no way to run from any of this stuff.
And we're still in a very early age of even looking or knowing what that looks like.
You know, even here in the United States, I mean, thank God for free speech platforms like Rumble and like X.
I mean, even X has been a little bit dicey.
Like, there are some posts that have shown up on my timeline where it's like, this post is being reported, or this is a censored post and you click it.
And it's something like super benign or informative.
So it's even getting a little bit dicey with X.
But I will say, like, last week, I had my first YouTube video just completely stripped and removed from the platform.
It was literally just a video of Nick Fuentes saying that he supported my wedding because my husband and I wore our America First hats in some of our wedding pictures after the fact.
And it was just him saying, like, hey, America First is a movement.
This is a community, it's a part of people's lives.
So the problem here is, you know, there are some people that I see take the America first thing too far.
There's always extremes with every platform, every ideology in certain regards.
But if you just look at kind of the baseline understanding of what people are trying to get, it's just prioritization of just making sure we have the things that we need met.
Here, before we're just shipping a bunch of money overseas and getting into all these foreign entanglements.
The only problem is where it gets extreme and where they start, you know, start bucketing everything is the people who take it to the extreme and be like, we need to like start killing all the muzzies and start killing all the Israelis and the Jewish people are the satanic cult and they lump the entire group instead of attacking the individuals.
And that's where it gets dicey.
But again, it makes it hard for the people who are trying to push the right agenda.
I will say that I wouldn't conflate America first and that kind of movement with isolationism.
I don't think it's that at all.
I think that a lot of people who claim to be America first were supportive of the actions in Venezuela, for example, because that's our part of the hemisphere.
Obviously, there is an issue with like drug cartels and things like this.
So I think that was actually beneficial for the interests of the American people versus getting involved in foreign entanglements overseas at the behest of a foreign nation because they want to maintain regional dominance when.
I think you and I probably may have differences in terms of what the Venezuela conflict should have been and what the narrative around that.
I firmly believe it was more about the oil and the control over our own hemisphere than it was about the drug cartel that Trump was pushing because a majority of the fentanyl he was claiming, cocaine comes out of China.
And then you've got cocaine that comes out of Mexico as well as Colombia.
But I mean, I lumped that in at the end, but I did preface by saying it's our hemisphere.
It's something that can directly benefit the American empire at the end of the day.
How does attacking Iran give any benefit to America?
I mean, again, they say it's so that Israel can have regional dominance, but that terrifies me even more.
I think you need to have checks and balances in the Middle East.
I don't think that we want Israel to have total hegemony over the Middle East.
They're the ones who actually have.
Nuclear weapons that don't have any type of agreement tied where we can go and inspect them, right?
Yeah.
Whereas we did when it came to Iran.
So none of this makes any sense to me.
I think at the end of the day, it all comes down to lobbying and foreign interests.
I don't think it's any coincidence that Donald Trump's AIPAC takings went from, I think it was like $20 million, which is still a lot of money, but now over $200 and something million shortly after he was elected.
And now we're getting into a war that could have potentially sparked World War III and still could, by the way.
Right.
And I truly believe that that is at the behest of a foreign government.
And that is what we need to stop.
We need to do things that actually prioritize American citizens.
So again, I feel like the one white pill that's come from all of this is even regular people, everyday normies, they're starting to open their eyes and seeing that the parties in their traditional form don't actually represent them, the people.
And there's been major breaks inside both of the parties on the left as well as the right.
We have people who are even withdrawing from their parties to run as an independent because the party's values no longer reflect them.
So there are America First candidates who are running.
Left, right, center, independent, libertarian.
And I essentially have a vision of putting them all together in one room and showing people that the America First movement is not only vital to the interests, serving in the interests of them, the people, but it's also a viable thing.
You could actually run on this platform and you can actually win.
You look at the state of Florida, for example, James Fishback.
I did a rally with him out in Naples, Florida, at Seat to Table.
It's the most conservative grocery store in the United States.
It was my first live audience podcast since becoming an independent creator.
And I was a little bit scared, guys.
I thought that, you know, Naples, there's a lot of boomers there.
There'll probably be some more neocon type people in attendance.
And I'm not sure if you're familiar with James and some of his policy proposals, but I thought that we would get some pushback from the audience.
I knew there would be cheers, but I thought there'd be some booze as well.
And I was shocked to see that young people came out in record numbers and there was nothing but positivity.
That room was electric.
And he's now pulling in.
Crowds that are adjacent to like Trump, what he had when I'd say Trump was at his maximum charisma level, right?
And it's just incredible to see the firepower that's following these America First candidates.
And now more and more of them are coming out of the woodworks.
We saw Mark Moran in Virginia actually withdrew as a Democrat to run as an independent, but there's some great Democrats running as well.
Republican, for example, if that Republican was beholden to APAC.
There's actually a guy, Jared Christian, who's running out in Ohio's 12th district, and his Republican challenger is a man named Troy Bolderson, who's taken over $250,000 from APAC, over a quarter million.
I would rather endorse and put my support behind Jared, who's made it a campaign prop.
He's running on a campaign of economic populism, but also he says that he wants to reach across the political aisle and work with people on the right to help weed out the corruption.
And so I also got to give a shout out really quick, sorry, to Casey Butch as well, who's running for governor of Ohio, okay, running against Vivek Ramaswamy, who is a globalist Trojan horse.
And so there's so many of these guys.
There's literally at least a dozen of them.
And so I'm working with Casey.
We're going to put all of these guys in a room together May 2nd.
We're going to do a continuous all day live stream with candidates from the left, right, center, along with America First influencers and commentators.
So that way they can come out, they can provide context, they can give endorsements if they so desire, and they can even give cross aisle endorsements.
And that's something that I personally and people I know will be doing because we're just so freaking sick of the corruption.
And we want to show the establishment we hate you guys so much that we're literally willing to work together to put an end to the badness.
That's the thing that I was going to say there's finally issues that are big enough for everybody to go, hey, we need to unite on this.
We've got to stop the death, stop the wasted money, stop the killing, like bring our country back ultimately, because we're not going to have a country much longer.
And you can kick the can down the road for a long time, but we're reaching a point where we're going off the cliff here.
And the reason why there's so much unity is because people are realizing that the.
Establishment actually engineer a lot of these culture wars through their NGOs that are funding both sides.
And they want to keep us fighting with each other so that we're too distracted to notice that they are getting entangled with foreign interests, that they're committing genocides, and that they are betraying the American people.
But we're too busy fighting each other to even notice.
And so I think that's what people are opening up their eyes to.
And the event in person, it's going to be great.
It's going to be a meeting of the minds, but even more important than that, it's going to be an all day continuous live stream.
And all of these candidates have the right to use the content to stream it to their own platforms because we're in a very rare moment in time right now where the movement is on our side.
We need to mobilize behind these guys to actually get them through their primaries.
Really appreciate the great Amy Dangerfield coming on the show, breaking all this down for us.
And we really appreciate the global perspective as well.
And maybe we should ask her more about that later next time she comes on.
It's just the population in America is so isolated, but you get someone that comes from a country that really has had draconian restrictions on rights where the people are truly oppressed.
And these people are so grateful.
To be here in a country where these things aren't at least happening large scale.
And I mean, it just is very interesting to see her rattle off the list of names of people that, like, you know, we've been watching and we've been talking to them.
And you just realize this world is a lot more interconnected than you realize.
And there's a lot of these grassroots guys that need more support.
It's hard to go against people who have already been part of the establishment and have millions of dollars backing them, like a Byron Donalds.
And you can look at Fishbank and criticize him, say whatever you want.
He's running a very effective grassroots campaign.
And we're going to see a lot more of this in the future.
Not less of it.
We're going to see a lot more.
This is the new political equation.
It's going to be people replicating the success of Trump based off of actually having these original ideas and opinions that don't fit in with the mainstream.
The real test of time will be seeing if characters like this, once they get elected, if they actually stick to their guns.
But to preserve them, we gotta be aware of them, and that's what we're calling for here.
Just like we live in such a great country, even now, the people here are so great.
It's our job to wake up our brothers and sisters that have fallen asleep and are under the spell of the mockingbird media, the mainstream media.
It's our job to say, Wake up, wake up, and realize what's happening now in your own country while you still have the rights and the freedoms left to preserve it and to fight for it.
So, this is the last week ever of the American Journal.
Our last show is going to be on Friday.
However, I'm going to keep the time slot.
I'm going to keep it alive.
If you guys want to catch up with me and continue the show on forward, I'm going to be doing my American Journal here on X. I've got a URL for it.
I'm going to be setting all that up today.
I'm going to be plugging that starting tomorrow.
But just know, I'll be doing a three hour show five days a week in the morning, combined with the gray area stuff that we're going to be doing at night as well.
More frequently, right now, we're doing that show Thursday, Sunday.
Probably we'll eventually go back to doing it Tuesday as well.
We shall rise from the ashes on the new network, on the new American Journal show, on gray area talks, on everything we're doing, because this is an info war, and the info war never sleeps.
The info war never takes a break.
The info war never pauses or stops.
It continues on, it marches forward, and we're in that battle.
We're fighting that battle with you, the info warriors out there, the viewers and listeners.
We got The Alex Jones Show about to come up.
We love you.
It's always an honor.
Tim Tompkins, Rex Jones, The American Journal.
We'll see you on the other side.
